So, we waiting for what? Excuse me? So you sittin' here telling me, this place is a waiting room, right? What are we waiting for? Rebirth Rebirth? Like reincarnation? If that's what you wanna call it What the fuck you mean “if that's what I wanna call it?” either this is what it is Or this is what it ain’t Sure Chu mean? Ughhh, this muhfucka Aight, lemme get this straight, every time I die I come here, we talk, and you send me back to earth to be reborn? You know the last time we had this conversation it was in mandarin and you were 13 Mandarin? And a girl! What? Nah, bruh, you fuckin wit me You’re, like, Jesus Christ He was here too! What? Wait, wait, so the Christians got it right? Well I’m about to reincarnate you Atom. I’d say everyone kinda got it right This is a whole lot to take in! I know trust me, I’ve been there So, how many times have I been reincarnated? Many, many many many, many times If it’s so many times, why don’t I remember? If we stayed here long enough, the lives you have lived And the knowledge from each of them would return What? I’m actually about to send you back to 1736 as Bryan Fairfax, the 8th lord Fairfax of Cameron Word, ayy, that sounds important Oh yes you own 40,000 acres God damn! Oh, I’m sorry Ha, it's quite alright Well at least I’m not poor no more Well sure! with all that land and the hundreds of slaves you’ll own Slaves? Aw hell nah, nononono, look look look How you gonna take a black man, send him back in time And now I gotta own slaves? Well if it's any consolation, your son Tom, the 9th Lord Fairfax of Cameron sets them free! No! That does not make me feel better at all Wait hold up, I just realized you said you’re gonna send me back in time? Well, I’m not really sending you back in time That doesn’t exist where I come from, only in your universe Well, where are you from? Honestly Atom, even if I explained where I came from Or told you about the others like me, you just wouldn’t understand But if there's others like you, how can you be god? Atom, I said you wouldn’t understand! So what's the point of doing all this? Really? What? A little cliche don’t you think? Essentially asking Me the meaning of life Well I figured I would ask before you send me back and I can’t remember none of this Atom come here. The meaning of life The reason I created this place, is so that you can grow, and mature Like the human race? Like this is how the human race is supposed to grow and mature? Mature into what? We can’t even get along No Atom, you! It’s for you, YOU to mature I don't understand I created this place for you, Atom This entire place was made for you Every time I send you back, every life you live, you grow And mature and understand the grand meaning behind all of this Just a little more each time Just me? Wait, what about everybody else? Atom, there is no one else I don't understand Atom, you are every human being who has ever existed since the dawn of your kind on earth Wait, I'm everyone? Aaahhhhh yes, now you are beginning to see it So I’m like, everyone that ever existed on earth, ever? Earth? Ha, that’s cute Earth was just your birthplace Let us not forget all the stars humanity will colonize over the millennia Wait, that is so much Too much to take in! I’m every human being that ever lived? Or ever will live, yes! I’m Jesus? And all of his disciples I’m Hitler? And the millions he murdered That's deep You see Atom, every act of hatred and violence you committed against another You were committing against yourself And every act of love and hand of kindness You also extended unto yourself God, why do all this? Someday, long from now, you will become like me You will mature to become what I am I’m a god? No, not yet. You see, I was once where you stand right now It is not until you have lived every human life inside of your universe That I may take you from this place Once you have walked in the shoes of every race, religion, gender, sexual orientation Loving and hateful person It is only then that you will understand how precious life truly is
