Chidi Quote #71

Quote from Chidi in Derek

Chidi: I'm sorry, Michael, but that's also ethically kind of dicey.
Michael: Here comes the egghead.
Chidi: Well, look, Jason and Tahani are happy together, and telling them that he was once married to Janet might cause them harm. It's not permissible to ruin their happiness to save ourselves.
Eleanor: Wait, but isn't keeping a secret from someone basically like lying though?
Chidi: No, no, it's okay to keep a secret as long as that secret isn't harming anyone, and telling them that secret might cause harm.
Eleanor: Noice!
Michael: Cool. Good point, egghead. I'll tell you what else would cause them harm, getting caught and being sent to the real Bad Place to be tortured for eternity, which will happen if Derek blows our cover.
Chidi: I know, but we'll also be sent to the real Bad Place if we do bad things. I know it's tempting to take a short-cut, but moral strength is defined by how we behave in times of stress.
Michael: Has anyone ever told you what a drag you are?
Chidi: Everyone. Constantly.

Quote from Tahani

Michael: Hey, guys.
Tahani: [gasps] Michael, you frightened me. Jason's making me watch this horror film about two ex-convicts who try to rob and murder a neglected child. [Home Alone plays]

Quote from Jason

Tahani: I hereby pronounce you King Jason.
Jason: Dope. Where did you learn how to do this?
Tahani: The Hertfordshire Academy for Expressionless Girls. It was a finishing school I attended before Oxford, and then, of course, the Sorbonne. Do you know what, I don't think I ever asked you were educated.
Jason: I went to Lynyrd Skynyrd High School in Northeast Jacksonville, which was really just a bunch of tugboats tied together.
Tahani: Didn't you get seasick?
Jason: No, sorry... they were tied together in a junk yard. It wasn't a very good school. For most of my classes, we just sold dirty magazines door-to-door.
Tahani: You know, Jason, every single detail about your life is... deeply disturbing. And yet, I envy you. I was never allowed to goof off. Never even had a friend I could just be myself around.
Jason: Maybe I can be that friend. Or your husband.
Tahani: [chuckles] Okay, stop it.
Jason: No, no, no, I'm serious. Will you marry me?

Quote from Tahani

Michael: Hey, I've got some great news. I've arranged for you to have a weekend getaway. I bet you're tired of being cooped up in this house, aren't you?
Tahani: I am a bit, actually. All this time indoors has degraded my skin from radiant to merely dewy. Me? Dewy?
