Michael Quote #30
Quote from Michael in What We Owe to Each Other
Michael: Anyway, my current theory is that some object in the neighborhood is a design flaw which is causing everything to go haywire. So we need to find that object. We're gonna start with the rocks. Now, I've investigated all of the rocks in the neighborhood. These 78 are the most suspicious.
Eleanor: Maybe to an architect, they might look suspicious, but to me, they just look like rocks, so I'm not sure how I can help.
Michael: Do any of them look defective? Sinister? You know, like they're taunting you? Always one step ahead? You devious little monsters, you.
Eleanor: Okay, let's take a deep breath here, buddy. You need to chill a little. 'Cause you have a very psycho, "burnout guy muttering to himself at a library computer" type vibe.
Michael: It's my responsibility to solve the problem. What else can I do except keep working?
Eleanor: You could stop working. Look, I promised to help you, and honestly, the way I can help you is to force you to take a break.
Michael: And not working will help me work?
Eleanor: Yes! Recharge the old batteries. I promise this is gonna help both of us. Let's go.
Michael: Okay. Let's keep our eyes peeled for twigs that may have a nefarious agenda.
Eleanor: Okay, crazy, come on.

Quote from Michael
Michael: Oh, hey, Eleanor, thanks for coming in. Sorry about the mess. [clears throat] Oh, I forgot, you don't see in nine dimensions. There's just a lot of... there's a lot of tension in the air right now.
Eleanor: Are you okay, buddy? You seem kind of stressed.
Michael: No, no, no, I'm fine. Top of my game, actually. Uh, here, let me just, uh... Have a seat. There you go. So to prepare to meet all of you, I studied the human concept of friends. I even watched all ten seasons of the show Friends. Boy, those Friends really were friends, weren't they? Although... and I realize this is the kind of observation that would only occur to the mind of an eternal being... How did they afford that apartment? A waitress and a chef with those Manhattan real estate prices.
Eleanor: Yeah, we were all confused about that too.
Quote from Jason
Jason: Dude, you got to come with us to the spa.
Chidi: No way. No, that's really weird. You can't make small talk with her for one day without being caught?
Jason: No, I can't, and she freaks me out. She's so pretty, like Nala from The Lion King. And she talks so smart, like, um... Nala from The Lion King. You got to help me.
Quote from Jason
Tahani: Jianyu, my love. How are you?
Jason: [looks at Magic 8-Ball] I am decidedly so.
Tahani: That's very profound.
Tahani: Um, soul mate... an idea. Our neighborhood now features a spa, and it offers couples packages. And I thought maybe we could get facials and do yoga and talk in long, discursive sentences. What do you say?
Jason: [looks down] Signs point to yes.
Tahani: Oh! Marvelous. We'll go today.
