 * Directed by Pete Docter. Co-directed by Kemp Powers. Written by Docter, Powers, and Mike Jones.

Joe

 * Music is all I think about. From the moment I wake up in the morning... to the moment I fall asleep at night. I was born to play. It's my reason for living.

Female Jerry

 * We’re in the business of inspiration. But it’s not often that we ourselves get inspired.

Dialogue

 * Terry: Hmmm, that's weird.
 * Counselor: What is it?
 * Terry: 151,000 souls go into the Great Beyond every day, and I count every single one of 'em. The count's off.
 * Counselor: Huh...


 * [Joe arrives in The Great Before]
 * Joe: Is this Heaven?
 * Jerry: No.
 * Joe: Is it H-E double hockey sticks?
 * Young Souls: [popping up below him] Hell? Hell? Hell?
 * Jerry: [to Young Souls] Quiet, coyotes!
 * [laughs, to Joe]
 * Jerry: No, this isn't the Great Beyond. It's the Great Before. This is where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth.


 * 22: [to Joe] Don't worry, they're fine. You can't crush a soul here. That's what life on Earth is for.


 * Joe: You know, I don’t really have time for a relationship right now.
 * 22: Oh yeah? Busy now? Wanna wait until you die a second time?
 * Joe: Ha ha. I can’t believe I’m taking romantic advice from an unborn soul.
 * 22: I can think of worse.


 * 22: Maybe sky-watching can be my spark. Or even walking! I’m really good at walking!
 * Joe: [disapprovingly] That’s just regular old living.


 * Dorothea Williams: What's wrong, Teach?
 * Joe: It's just that, I've been waiting on this day for... my entire life. I thought I'd feel different.
 * Dorothea: I heard this story about a fish. He swims up to this older fish and says, "I'm trying to find this thing they call 'The Ocean.'" "The Ocean?" says the older fish, "That's what you're in right now." "This?" says the younger fish, "This is water. What I want is The Ocean." See you tomorrow.
