The Quote

Quote from Michael in The Book of Dougs

Tahani: Michael? How did it go? Is the Committee going to help us?
Michael: The committee's a bunch of ineffectual dorks in fleece vests. The Titanic is sinking, and they're writing a strongly-worded letter to the iceberg. How much more evidence do they need? The Bad Place has to be tampering with the system. There's no other explanation.
Tahani: Can I ask you an unrelated question?
Michael: Absolutely not. The fate of all of humanity is at stake, and time is running out. [Tahani pouts] Go ahead.
Tahani: I'm trying to help Jason and Janet navigate some very complex feelings, but everything I do makes it worse. You know them better than anyone else. How do I just make them happy?
Michael: How do you make Jason happy? You give him a lollipop shaped like a Transformer.
Tahani: You'd think it'd be that simple. But every time I do something nice, it backfires. There are so many unintended consequences to well-intentioned actions. Feels like a game you can't win.
Michael: That's it. There is another explanation. Unintended consequences. Oh, Tahani, you did it.
Tahani: Well, of course I did, darling. Did what?
