Mindy St. Claire Quote #14
Quote from Mindy St. Claire in Whenever You're Ready
Mindy St. Claire: So that's how you spend your days? Wandering around, searching for the thing that makes you complete?
Eleanor: Pretty much. I thought it was connected to my parents or my friends, but now I think it might be something else. I think it might be you. I think my final mission might be to convince you to go through the system. Take the test. You know, when I first met you, I thought, "Oof. Well, there's a chick I understand." Lone wolf, totally independent, knows what she wants."
Both: Cocaine and self-pleasure.
Eleanor: Right. But I actually think you're a version of me if I'd never met my friends. You're like the worst-case scenario of what I could have become. No offense.
Mindy St. Claire: None taken. Look, the thing is, Eleanor, I am fine with where I am.
Eleanor: See, I don't think you are. Or at least, you could be better. If we're cut from the same cloth, then trust me. There is greater happiness waiting for you if you form bonds with other people. And I think you know that. You told me about me and Chidi that time. You showed me the tape. You said you were rooting for us. I think you have the ability to care.
Mindy St. Claire: I don't know. Caring just seems like a lot of work.
Eleanor: Mm.
Mindy St. Claire: And I have been on my own for so long. I can't imagine putting my fate in the hands of some stranger.
Eleanor: I thought you might say that.

Quote from Tahani
Michael: I admire your breadth of knowledge. I can only do one thing: be an architect. I've spent the last 500 Bearimies trying to learn how to play the guitar, and I just mastered "Hey There Delilah."
Tahani: Don't sell yourself short, Michael. I dare say you're the greatest architect in existence, and I should know.
All: Frank Gehry is my godfather.
Tahani: Fair enough. I deserved that.
Quote from Chidi
Eleanor: I was never good at being sad, partly because my mom straight up told me not to be. But this is sad, man. You got a John Locke quote or piece of Kantian wisdom you can throw at me?
Chidi: Those guys were more focused on rules and regulations. For spiritual stuff, you gotta turn to the East.
Eleanor: I'll take anything you got. Hit me.
Chidi: Picture a wave in the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through, and it's there, and you can see it, you know what it is. It's a wave. And then it crashes on the shore, and it's gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a... a different way for the water to be for a little while. That's one conception of death for a Buddhist. The wave returns to the ocean, where it came from, and where it's supposed to be.
Eleanor: Not bad, Buddhists.
Chidi: Not bad. None of this is bad.
Eleanor: I need you to do me one last favor.
Chidi: Mm-hmm?
Eleanor: Say good-bye to me now, and leave before I wake up.
Quote from Judge
Judge: This meeting of the Joint Council of Afterlife Affairs is called to order. Let's make this quick, kids. I just started rewatching The Leftovers. Honestly, when I found out that Carrie Coon was never nominated, I almost erased 2% of humanity.
