Soul

Terry:
Hmmm, that's weird.

Counselor:
What is it?

Terry:
151,000 souls go into the Great Beyond every day, and I count every single one of 'em. The count's off.

Counselor:
Huh...

[Joe arrives in The Great Before]

Joe:
Is this Heaven?

Jerry:
No.

Joe:
Is it H-E double hockey sticks?

Young Souls:
[popping up below him] Hell? Hell? Hell?

Jerry:
[to Young Souls] Quiet, coyotes!

[laughs, to Joe]

Jerry:
No, this isn't the Great Beyond. It's the Great Before. This is where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth.

22:
[to Joe] Don't worry, they're fine. You can't crush a soul here. That's what life on Earth is for.

Joe:
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?

Joe:
Ha ha. I can’t believe I’m taking romantic advice from an unborn soul.

22:
I can think of worse.

22:
Maybe sky-watching can be my spark. Or even walking! I’m really good at walking!

Joe:
[disapprovingly] That’s just regular old living.

Joe:
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.

Female Jerry:
We’re in the business of inspiration. But it’s not often that we ourselves get inspired.
