"My old destiny, or the new one?  My old destiny was the same as the fate of all other organic life, to age and die and be in time forgotten.  That destiny, I hope, has already been averted by coming to Pelican Town.  If I was a better person, I'd be thinking about how to run everyone on Earth through here, once the bugs are worked out.  But actually that sounds like a lot of work and I'm just going to leave that whole line of thinking for when I've got the bugs worked out of my own personal life."

"My old destiny, or the new one?  My old destiny was the same as the fate of all other organic life, to age and die and be in time forgotten.  That destiny, I hope, has already been averted by coming to Pelican Town.  If I'm trading away my organic body for anything, it better be that.  If I was a better person, I'd be thinking about how to run everyone on Earth through here, once the bugs are worked out.  But actually that sounds like a lot of work and I'm just going to leave that whole line of thinking for when I've got the bugs worked out of my own personal life."
