"You are you."

"You are Wellington."

"Look, Lance, to everyone else you look like Wellington, you sound like Wellington, you even smell like Wellington. But you see yourself. Simple, huh? Go ahead, you can answer it, go ahead."

"You'll be alright."

"Go ahead, Lance, take that corpse for a spin."

"See ya later, Lance. I'll get Keyes workin on a new body. Good luck."

"That was brutal. You gotta a nice touch wit the ladies, Lance."

"I'm workin on it. I was just in Havana. You want one?"

"What are you gettin tough wit me? I'm a freakin angel. You wanna be in heaven, you don't like it here, there is a third option, ya know."

"You gotta play by the rules, Lance, like everybody else."

"No one makes these rules, kid."

"This was just a temporary set up. The clock ran out."

"It makes no difference."

"This is bigger then that."

"This is fate."

"Sorry, Lance. I tried to warn you."

"No dice. We gotta deal."

"There'll be concicuences."

"This is your future, kid."

"That's the plan."

"That's his destany, this is yours. It'll all work out for the best."

"Lance."

"Lance we gotta talk. Remember our deal. Wellington was just a temporary set up. This is the real thing. This is your body. Its time to set up house, kid, cuz this is you."

"Kid, listen to me, when we leave you will be Joe Guy. You won't remember Keyes, you won't remember me."

"Lance, you not getting it. You see you won't remember, Charles Wellington, Sentee, you won't even remember Lance Barton. You will be Joe Guy."

"We're sorry, Lance."

"Lance, I can't take your soul. Nobody could do that. Where you're from, what you look like, that's just clothing."

"The funny thing about reincarnation, kid, even when you're not you, you're still you. Don't worry I got a good feeling about this."

"See you around, Joe."
