#24 and #21 in “Unfinished Business”

Seriously, ask me any question.

Okay, what's the meaning of life?

The color twelve.

Really?!

No, idiot! Ask me something less Hitchhiker's Guide, dork.

Do we have souls?

Yeah. Well, not quite souls but, it's a general idea. Everything has a soul.

Crap. So I guess I should become a vegetarian?

No. Like everything living has a soul. Even spinach. You can't win.

Oh, so that's ... the problem.

Here's something. You know how people cry about aborting babies because of their "soul"? It turns out you don't get a soul till' you're like one.

So weird. One? Really?!

Or maybe six months, I forget. Anyway, you're just this crying ... pooing ... monster blob till you get your soul.

That's amazing, I should tell everybody! People need to know about this!

Oh definitely, and maybe you should write it all down on a golden plate, or maybe get some aviators and a compound in Guyana-

Okay, I get it. Dude, I barely believe you're real. I mean, if there were ghosts, they'd be freakin' everywhere

Eh, not necessarily. You can only haunt someone you were close to, (voice echos) in life.

Uh, before you get all teary-eyed, I could only choose between you, and a cocoon that is constantly getting blown up.

Still, you could've-

Or Beth Seaton. But she's not fifteen anymore so she probably doesn't like me (voice echos again) "that way".
