Well, Brad thought, I've been born three times, but every time I'm about to turn forty, I get reborn as a fully sentient baby. That makes me nearly 114 years old on a human scale. I was the editor of the New Century and a pundit on MSNBC and also a failed screenwriter. And if this scenario doesn't work out, I'll probably get born again and have to spend another two years sucking on my mother's tit.
Reborn live full, human lives; they are born, they grow up, they have families of their own and they die. The difference between the Reborn and everyone else on the street is that — they are born, live and die over and over and over again. Not only that, they remember their past lives so the thread of their existence is unbroken, despite the many different faces they may wear.

Hey, for immortals, Club guys are really inconsistent. You know they killed me with an overdose once? I was like, Jesus guys, I'm only thirty-three and now I've gotta go through potty-training again? What the fuck?

You got me, but I shall be reincarnated! [dies, then returns as a rabbit] Ha! Ha! You can't kill a Hindu! [gets caught in a bear trap] Aahhh! Help me, Jesus!
