Michael Quote #177

Quote from Michael in Somewhere Else

Eleanor: The point is, we've all gotten better. Why should we have to go live alone in a boring void because of a messed-up system? How is that justice?
Judge: Okay. Slow your roll there, Erin Brockovich. First of all, y'all didn't get good enough to pass the tests I just gave you. Second, I still believe that the only reason that you improved in Michael's fake neighborhood is because you thought there was a reward at the end of the rainbow. You're supposed to good things because you're good! Not because you're seeking moral desert.
Michael: And I still believe that they would've become good people if they'd just gotten a... A push in the right direction.
Judge: Oh, no. Nope, nope. Absolutely not.
Michael: It's a little crazy...
Judge: "A little crazy?" It's looney tunes.
Chidi: What are they talking about?
Eleanor: No idea.
Judge: It sets a very dangerous precedent.
Michael: It's only four people. And it's clearly the best way to see if bad people can become good without knowing anything about what's waiting for them in the afterlife.

Quote from Tahani

Eleanor: Wow, so you saw your parents in the test?
Tahani: Yes. And I immediately fell right back into my old pattern, desperately trying to impress them and earn their admiration. Then I heard this little voice in my head saying, "Tahani, don't do this."
Eleanor: The little voice in your head sounds like the old lady from Downton Abbey.
Tahani: Oh, yeah, sorry. Maggie Smith is my godmother. Anyway, I took a deep breath, told them I ate a Cheeto, and walked away.
Eleanor: Man. You have made so much progress. I'm proud of you, hot stuff.
Tahani: Whatever progress I have made, it's because you and I have become mates. That's British for "friends."
Eleanor: No, I know.

Quote from Eleanor

Eleanor: Hey, man. What's up? [Chidi kisses her] Hot diggity dog. Oh, no! Now the thing I said right after we kissed will always be "hot diggity dog." Whatever. It was an honest reaction. I stand by it.
