• Eleanor Shellstrop : Well, I'm not giving up. We worked too hard and went through too much, and I'm not just gonna sit back and turn into some slack-jawed, sweatpant-wearing orgasm machine! Oh my God, I'm describing my dream existence like it's bad. What is wrong with this place?

• Eleanor Shellstrop : Okay, well... I have a solution. Remember what I said to you when you were going through your midlife crisis, one earring, red convertible phase?

  Michael : "You look so stupid"?

  Eleanor Shellstrop : After that.

  Michael : You said that every human is a little bit sad all the time because you know you're going to die, but that knowledge is what gives life meaning.

  Eleanor Shellstrop : [turns to face the group]  The way to restore meaning to the people in the Good Place... is to let them leave.

  Janet : Leave? And go where? This is the last...

  [pause] 

  Janet : Oh.

  Michael : Can we just do that?

  Eleanor Shellstrop : You're the head of the Good Place now. Seems to me you can do whatever you want.

• Eleanor Shellstrop : I guess you don't really have fun anywhere, which is the point. It doesn't seem like this is paradise for you. You've basically been on a never-ending vacation, and vacations are only special because they end.

• Eleanor Shellstrop : [meeting Hypatia of Alexandria]  First question: How do you get the "of" in your name? Is it just, like, where you hung out the most? Like, am I Eleanor of the Cheesecake Factory Bar?

• Eleanor Shellstrop : Hi, everyone, can I have your attention, please? Hi, my name's Eleanor Shellstrop. Hope you're having fun at our Flor-izona British library extravaganza. I guess you don't really have fun anywhere, which is the point. It doesn't seem like this is paradise for you. You've basically been on a never-ending vacation, and vacations are only special because they end.

  Chidi Anagonye : So we have an idea. We're gonna set up a new kind of door. Um, somewhere peaceful, so that when you feel happy and satisfied and complete, and you want to leave the Good Place for good, you can just walk through it, and your time in the universe will end.

  Tahani Al-Jamil : You don't have to go through it if you don't want to, but you can, and hopefully, knowing that you don't have to be here forever will help you feel happier while you are.

  Paltibaal : What will happen when we go through it?

  Janet : Well, we don't really know, exactly. All we know is, it will be peaceful and your journey will be over.

  Michael : You led great lives. You earned your place here. So stay here as long as you like. Use the Green Doors to see and do every single thing you want to see and do. And when you're ready, walk through one last door and be at peace.

• Michael : Okay, nothing to do but announce the big change. Whatever happens... it's cool, my babies. It's very cool.

  Eleanor Shellstrop : [smirks]  You smoke that weed, bud?

  Michael : [giggling]  I did. I was kind of freaked out, so I smoked some grass. But now I'm great! Let's change the afterlife and then... Taco Bell.

  [a Taco Bell burrito appears in Michael's hand] 

  Michael : Oh! Baby!

• Chidi Anagonye : [meeting Hypatia of Alexandria]  I'm a huge fan! I had a poster of you on my wall in high school! Well, actually, it was just a poster of Trinity from "The Matrix", but that's how I imagined you would look because you're so cool!

  Eleanor Shellstrop : Oh, is she the reason you got beat up so much?

  Chidi Anagonye : She's one of 'em!

• Hypatia : [looks at her football jersey]  There's math on my shirt.

  Eleanor Shellstrop : Come on!

  Hypatia : Is it an S or a math?
