Dez : Not everyone can be Charles Drew inventing blood transfusions.
22 : [in Joe's body] Or me, playing piano with Dorothea Williams. I know.
Paul : You are not all that. Anyone could play in a band if they wanted to.
Joe : [in cat's body] Don't pay Paul any mind. People like him just bring other people down so they can make themselves feel better.

[everyone in the barber shop laughs]
Paul : You cut deep, Joe.

Joe : By the way, why do you sound like a middle-aged white lady?

Joe : It's very effective.
-
22 : Okay, look, I already know everything about Earth, and I don't want anything to do with it.
Joe : You're missing out on the joys of life. Like, uh, pizza!
[he sniffs the slice of pizza in his hand]
Joe : I can't smell!
[he pops the slice of pizza in his mouth]
Joe : We can't...
[the slice of pizza just pops out of him]
Joe : We can't taste either?
22 : All that stuff is in your body.
Joe : No smell! No taste!
22 : Or touch.
[she slaps him across the face]
22 : See?
[she continues to slap his face]
Joe : Okay. I get it!

Connie : Here, I quit! I think jazz is pointless!
22 : Oh yeah, jazz is definitely pointless.
Joe : Hey!

22 : Of course. Like my mentor George Orwell used to say: state sponsored education is like the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket.
Connie : [Connie's eyes go wide] Yeah!
22 : The ruling class's core curriculum stifles dissent. It's the oldest trick in the book.

Connie : I've been saying that since the third grade!

Joe : [in the Hall of Everything] Croissants, cakes. Baking could be your spark.
22 : Yeah! But I don't get it.
Joe : Just smell it.
22 : Can't, and neither can you.
Joe : [he sniffs the slice of pizza in his hand] What? You're right. I can't smell.
[he pops the slice of pizza in his mouth]
Joe : We can't...
[the slice of pizza just pops out of him]
Joe : We cant taste either?
22 : All that stuff is in your body.
Joe : No smell! No taste!
22 : Or touch.
[she slaps him across the face]
22 : See?
Joe : [22 continues to slap his face] Okay. I get it!

Joe : [after Terry took him and 22 back to the Great Before] I was going to play with Dorothea Williams!
22 : And I was about to find my spark!
Joe : Find your spark? My life was finally going to change!
22 : You promised, but you wouldn't even give me five minutes!
Joe : I lost everything because of you!
Terry : [interrupting] Joe!
[Joe stops arguing with 22 and looks at Terry]
Terry : You cheated.
[Joe goes silent]

Dez : Sometimes change is good. You have been rocking that same style for a while.
22 : Well Dez, for hundreds of years, I've had no style at all.
Paul : You can say that again!
22 : But then my life changed.
Dez : Oh yeah? What happened?
22 : I was existing as a theoretical construct in a hypothetical waystation between life and death.
Female Barber : I heard that.
-
22 : And by the time I got to mentor number 266, I was seriously asking what is all the fuss about. Like is all this living really worth dying for? You know what I mean?
-
22 : The truth is I've always worried that maybe there's something wrong with me, you know? That I'm not good enough for living. But then you showed me about purpose, and passion and...
[Excited, 22 looks out hopefully at the world]
22 : Maybe sky watching can be my Spark. Or walking! I'm really good at walking!
Joe : Those really aren't purposes, 22. That's just regular ol' living.
