Quotes 

• 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.

  22 : [in Joe's body]  Oh, I get it. He's just criticizing me to cover up the pain of his own failed dreams.

  [everyone in the barber shop laughs] 

  Paul : You cut deep, Joe.

• 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.
