He ultimately chooses to remain a barber and not become a murderer, resolving the conflict through his commitment to his profession. The quotation “I am only a barber. Each one to his job. That’s it. Each one to his job” best expresses that decision; the other quotations show his uncertainty or describe the captain’s beard.
