[flashback:]
Michael: But mostly you wanted answers. The soul mate one, in particular. So, I used it to torture you, which, again, sorry. If soul mates do exist, they're not found. They're made. People meet, they get a good feeling, and then they get to work building a relationship, like your parents. They didn't magically stay together because you proved they should.
Chidi: It wasn't my logic or my representation. It was the feeling they got watching me, this scared little kid telling them that he needed them.
Michael: It was also what you made them remember. You know, they loved each other. Sometimes people forget. You reminded them of what they already had. It convinced them to go to counseling.
Chidi: I never knew they went to counseling.
Michael: Yeah, kids are idiots. If they knew half the stuff their folks were up to, they'd lose their minds.
Chidi: Turns out life isn't a puzzle that can just be solved one time and... and it's done. You wake up every day and you solve it again.
Michael: Terribly inefficient.
Chidi: Wow, what a time to learn. Can you give me a second?
