"Um. I - guess plausibly I should quit my job, if I have to be Santa now. Assuming we don't need human currency for anything."

"...you could keep working your job if it's psychologically important to you? Although in only thirty years or so we'll have to come up with a new identity for you."

"It's, um - I don't really know what's psychologically important to me."

"I guess you have a lot of time to figure it out."
