Eleanor: You know the thing is, the problem really, with being a do-gooder?
Michael: What's that?
Eleanor: No one cares. I mean, some people care a little bit. The twerpy little twerps from the environmental place, they care, but I was a good person for six months. That's like five years, and it felt okay, but not as good as I thought it would. And what did I get for it?
Michael: Ah, see, now you're talking about moral desert.
Eleanor: Exactly. Wait, I am? What?
Michael: Moral desert is the concept that if you act with virtue, you deserve a reward.
Eleanor: Right. If I'm not gonna get rewarded somehow, like a tiara or one of those diagonal award belts...
Michael: Sash.
Eleanor: Sure. Then why should I do good things?
