So, what do you think you'll do? How are you gonna spend your life?
I'm not sure. But, I do know... I'm gonna live every minute of it.
Soul quotes
Yeah. So, uh, what happens next.
Dorothea Williams We come back tomorrow night and do to all again. What's wrong, Teach?
It's just that, I've been waiting on this day for... my entire life. I thought I'd feel different.
Dorothea I heard this story about a fish. He swims up to this older fish and says, "I'm trying to find this thing they call 'The Ocean.'" "The Ocean?" says the older fish, "That's what you're in right now." "This?" says the younger fish, "This is water. What I want is The Ocean." See you tomorrow.
[chasing 22]
You come back here right now! [They dodge commuters left and right until they finally come upon an empty hallway.] You stole my body!
[22 runs towards the exit at the far end. Joe close behind. But suddenly they are surrounded by darkness and they both fall into Terry’s portal trap. As 22 and Joe float through the inky darkness, their soul forms emerge from their bodies and float into another portal leading back into the You Seminar. Terry looks down on them, triumphant.]
Time to go, Joe Gardner. [ [Joe sees his body far below. He frantically swims toward it, making headway.] Oh, no, you don't. [Terry stops him.] Gotcha!
No, no, no! [He lands in the grass of the You Seminar. The portal above him closes.] NO! No! [enraged; furiously storms to 22] I WAS GOING TO PLAY WITH DOROTHEA WILLIAMS!
22
[enraged]
AND I WAS ABOUT TO FIND MY SPARK!
FIND YOUR SPARK?!
22
YOU PROMISED...
MY LIFE WAS FINALLY GOING TO CHANGE!
22
...BUT YOU WOULDN'T EVEN GIVE ME FIVE MINUTES!
I LOST EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF YOU!
JOE!!! [Joe and 22 stop arguing and turn to him] You cheated.
Jerry
Joe Gardner! Terry, you found them.
No need to thank me.
Jerry
It’s so nice to have everything back in order, and… [The Counselor looks at 22’s badge, stunned.] 22 got her pass? Oh, my goodness. 22! You got an Earth Pass! This is amazing!
Jerry A
I know you could do it.
Jerry B
This is cray-cray.
22
But what... What filled in the last box?
[still angry]
I’ll tell you what filled it in. I did! It was my spark that changed that badge. [to Counselors] She only got that because she was living my life in my body.
22
But I was--
Come on, Mr. Gardner. [snaps to open the portal to The Great Beyond]
Jerry
Joe, it’s time for you to accompany 22 to the Earth portal. Give you a chance to say goodbye.
Jerry B
Of course. It's standard procedure.
Just hold on a minute. I get to set the count right.
Jerry B
Terry, you have done a super job. We’ll take it from here. You’re amazing.
Well, thank you. [leaves through the portal] Terrytime.
22
[to Joe]
Don't worry, they're fine. You can't crush a soul here. That's what life on Earth is for.
22
Maybe sky-watching can be my spark. Or even walking! I’m really good at walking!
You know, I don’t really have time for a relationship right now.
22
Oh yeah? Busy now? Wanna wait until you die a second time?
Ha ha. I can’t believe I’m taking romantic advice from an unborn soul.
22
I can think of worse.
Hmmm, that's weird.
Counselor
What is it?
151,000 souls go into the Great Beyond every day, and I count every single one of 'em. The count's off.
Counselor
Huh...
Jerry
No.
Is it H-E "double hockey sticks"?
Young Souls
[popping up below him]
Hell? Hell? Hell?
Jerry
[to Young Souls]
Quiet, coyotes!
Jerry
[laughs, to Joe]
No. It's the Great Before. This is where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth.
Music is all I think about. From the moment I wake up in the morning... to the moment I fall asleep at night. I was born to play. It's my reason for living.
Wait a minute! 22 got a pass?!
We’re in the business of inspiration. But it’s not often that we ourselves get inspired.
You mentors and your purposes! Your passions! Your meanings-of-life!
