Eleanor Quote #169

Quote from Eleanor in Existential Crisis

[flashback:]
Eleanor: Hey, man, you got toothbrush holders?
Greg: Sure, yeah, right over here.
Eleanor: What's this? Who has four toothbrushes? Like, Bill Gates or something?
Greg: No, that's like, for a family.
Eleanor: Family? Like, a whole family and their toothbrushes all together? Two slots for the parent toothbrushes and two slots for their kids?
Greg: Yep.
Eleanor: So the parent toothbrushes can be close to the kid toothbrushes and... watch over them and... [sniffs] They can all talk about their... toothbrush feelings. And they can hold their little toothbrush hands when they're sad? Make sure no harm ever comes to their little bristles?
Greg: Sure. [Eleanor cries] Oh, um, do you need Kleenex?
Eleanor: Thank you. [sniffles] Sorry. I'm so embarrassed. A family pack? [dramatic sobbing]

Quote from Michael

Michael: So that's their plan.
Jason: This doesn't seem so bad.
Michael: Yeah. It really tucks my nuggets. I worked so hard on my torture ideas, and theirs are so basic. These millennials, they have no work ethic. Oh, sorry, a millennial is someone who has only been torturing people for a thousand years. Millennial.

Quote from Tahani

Tahani: I would say I outdid myself, but I'm always this good. So I simply "did myself".

Quote from Eleanor

Eleanor: I don't know if what I'm going to say is going to hurt or help, but screw it. Do you know what's really happening right now? You're learning what it's like to be human. All humans are aware of death. So we're all a little bit sad... all the time. That's just the deal.
Michael: Sounds like a crappy deal.
Eleanor: Well, yeah. It is. But we don't get offered any other ones. And if you try and ignore your sadness, it just ends up leaking out of you anyway. I've been there. And everybody's been there. So don't fight it. In the words of a very wise Bed, Bath, and Beyond employee I once knew... "Go ahead and cry all you want. But you're going to have to pay for that toilet plunger."
