Season 4, Episode 7 -  Aired November 7, 2019

As Michael and Eleanor count down the hours until the end of their year-long experiment, Simone reveals her suspicions about the Good Place.

Quote from Chidi

Chidi: Look, we tried to prove your theory, but it feels like we came up empty.
Simone: Chidi, there is so much evidence they've been lying. How can you not see that?
Chidi: Eleanor told me that this was her first neighborhood. Maybe some of these are just honest mistakes. And also, she told me some other stuff that I really want to be true.
Simone: What kind of stuff?
Chidi: Well, it was... something about us.

Quote from Michael

Michael: Brent, I need a volunteer. Come on up. [cheers and applause] Okay, Brent, I want you to take off your wristwatch and place it in my hat.
Brent: Now, this is a Rolex. It's the exact same watch Richie Sambora wears.
Michael: Ah. So be careful. And now the Magnificent Dr. Presto will transform y... Oh. [ground rumbling] [people yelling] Brent, can you hear me? If it somehow helps, there's a small dove in your pocket! [dove flies off] Never mind.

Quote from Brent

Chidi: Okay, so what do we do, try to climb down or wait for the rope?
Simone: Neither, we get the fork outta here.
John: Chidi, a giant hell-hole just opened up and swallowed one of us. I don't care what this place really is. Giant holes are bad, and we should go.
Chidi: Or giant holes are bad, so if someone falls into one, you try to help get him out. [ground rumbles] Whoa.
Brent: [o.s.] I'm not scared! I'm shouting so you know I'm okay. I am very brave.

Quote from Brent

Eleanor: Where are they?
Janet: They never called a train. They must have taken Brent's Escalade.
Michael: Oh, that's good. The important thing is that the group bonded and stayed together.
Brent: [o.s.] Hello! Could someone help us?
Eleanor: Us?
Brent: Yeah. This frickin' genius tried to help me and he fell in. I thought you were smart, man.
Chidi: Are you serious right now?
Eleanor: Well, turns out, the group did not bond. The group snapped in half.

Quote from Brent

Chidi: Will you help us? These rocks are really sharp down here. I'm scared.
Brent: I'm not.

Quote from Eleanor

Michael: Guys, I think we're cooked. It's over.
Eleanor: No, no way. I am not giving up. I told you, I only play games I can win. And I played this game, so that means we can win.
Janet: I don't think that tracks.
Eleanor: Shut up. What do you know?
Janet: Literally everything, but keep going. I am liking this energy from you.
Eleanor: We have eight minutes left, so that means we keep trying.
Michael: What else can we try? We've already blown everything up. We can't blow it up again.
Jason: If there's one thing I know in this world, it's that you can always blow up the same thing twice.
Eleanor: He's right. We have one last move here.

Quote from Brent

Brent: Man, crazy twist, huh? It's like something out of a Chip Driver novel.
Chidi: Leave me alone, Brent.
Brent: I'm kind of freaking out over here, man. You're my only real friend.
Chidi: I'm not your friend. I don't even like you.
Brent: But you helped me.
Chidi: Yeah, I did. Because I have this stupid moral code that forces me to help everyone. But you have never helped anyone because you don't care about other people, which is the bare minimum that a person has to do, just care a little about the other people around you, and you can't do it.
Brent: What are you trying to say here?
Chidi: You are a bad person.

Quote from Brent

Brent: No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not a bad person. I'm not. I'm a good person! Oh, man. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no. Look, Chidi, whatever happens next, I, um... I need to say this to you. All right? I am... I am so, so sorr... [shimmering tone]

Quote from Eleanor

Janet: [appears] Sorry. Eleanor asked me to bring her this the second the experiment was over.
Eleanor: Well, you know what they say. It's zero o'clock in the sky somewhere.
