My fav dialogues from "Before Sunrise".

1. "50,000 years ago, there are not even a million people on the planet. 10,000 years ago, there's, like, two million people on the planet. Now there's between five and six billion people on the planet, right? Now, if we all have our own, like, individual, unique soul, right, where do they all come from? You know, are modern souls only a fraction of the original souls? 'Cause if they are, that represents a 5,000 to 1 split of each soul in the last 50,000 years, which is, like, a blip in the Earth's time. You know, so at best we're like these tiny fractions of people, you know, walking... I mean, is that why we're so scattered? You know, is that why we're all so specialized? "
- Jesse
2. "I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt." - Celine

perhaps the count doesn't match cause the writer considers only people as being with soules.
there are trillions of other living forms...do they not deserve a soul?
this 'human being centric world view' has gone on for enough...

These are the 2 Dialogues that I too like the most.

Along with the other 1..

We are stars.. We are all made of star dust. 4 billion years ago we were all part of star dust.

Take care.
