00:00:09,009 --> 00:00:11,928
[Eleanor]  Last season on  The Good Place...

2
00:00:12,011 --> 00:00:15,557
[Michael]  In the afterlife, there's
a Good Place and there's a Bad Place.

3
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,809
-You're in the Good Place.
-[sighs]

4
00:00:17,892 --> 00:00:20,186
Eleanor, you are my soulmate.

5
00:00:20,270 --> 00:00:23,481
Chidi, you'll stand by my side,
no matter what, right?

6
00:00:23,565 --> 00:00:24,774
Of course I will.

7
00:00:24,858 --> 00:00:27,444
<font face="Serif" size="18">-I'm not supposed to be here.
-Wait, what?

8
00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:30,947
Eleanor, Chidi, I would like you to meet
Tahani and Jianyu.

9
00:00:32,032 --> 00:00:33,908
-Oh! You booped me.
-I did!

10
00:00:33,992 --> 00:00:36,870
His real name is Jason.
He's a drug-dealing DJ from Florida.

11
00:00:36,953 --> 00:00:37,787
What's up, homie?

12
00:00:37,871 --> 00:00:40,665
The problem in the neighborhood is me.

13
00:00:41,249 --> 00:00:44,461
<font face="Serif" size="18">You have all done bad things
since you arrived here.

14
00:00:44,544 --> 00:00:47,380
The Bad Place is owed two people.
You can decide.

15
00:00:47,464 --> 00:00:52,594
Holy motherforking shirt balls.

16
00:00:52,677 --> 00:00:54,304
This is the Bad Place.

17
00:00:54,387 --> 00:00:55,638
[laughs]

18
00:00:55,722 --> 00:00:59,768
Except for you four, everyone
in this neighborhood is one of us.

19
00:00:59,851 --> 00:01:05,565
<font face="Serif" size="18">You saw us all on Earth:
a selfish ass, an idiot DJ,

20
00:01:05,648 --> 00:01:08,735
a tortured academic, a hot, rich fraud.

21
00:01:08,818 --> 00:01:11,112
You thought we would torture each other.

22
00:01:11,196 --> 00:01:15,909
The only thing you succeeded in doing
was bringing us all together.

23
00:01:15,992 --> 00:01:18,703
That's it. My big mistake

24
00:01:18,787 --> 00:01:21,831
was having you be soulmates
living next to each other.</font>

25
00:01:21,915 --> 00:01:25,502
Next time, I'll spread you out
so it's more of a slow burn.

26
00:01:25,585 --> 00:01:28,546
I'm going to erase your memories,
make a few changes and start over again.

27
00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:30,548
Got to get the boss man to sign off.

28
00:01:30,632 --> 00:01:33,593
If this thing goes sideways again,
you are done.

29
00:01:33,676 --> 00:01:36,638
[Eleanor]  Do your worst. We figured
it out once. We can do it again.</font>

30
00:01:36,721 --> 00:01:38,306
Janet, open up.

31
00:01:38,389 --> 00:01:41,976
Because you know what, Michael? Ya basic--

32
00:01:42,393 --> 00:01:46,064
-You, Eleanor Shellstrop, are dead.
-Cool.

33
00:01:46,147 --> 00:01:47,232
I'm your soulmate.

34
00:01:47,315 --> 00:01:49,651
You'll stand by me no matter what, right?

35
00:01:49,734 --> 00:01:52,403
Hold that thought.
Is it okay if I go work out?

36
00:01:52,487 --> 00:01:55,365
<font face="Serif" size="18">I gotta stay jacked. It's who I am.</font>

37
00:01:55,448 --> 00:01:57,200
See you soon.

38
00:01:57,283 --> 00:01:58,535
-Hi, there.
-[gasps]

39
00:01:58,618 --> 00:02:00,703
I'm Janet. I think this is yours.

40
00:02:00,787 --> 00:02:03,540
After I was rebooted,
I found it in my mouth.

41
00:02:03,623 --> 00:02:08,253
What the fork is a "Chidi"?
Why can't I say "fork"?

42
00:02:16,803 --> 00:02:18,805
Okay, here we go.

43
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:22,684
<font face="Serif" size="18">Confidence, Mikey. Project confidence.</font>

44
00:02:23,768 --> 00:02:25,478
There he is. How's it goin', boss man?

45
00:02:25,562 --> 00:02:28,064
Enough chitchat.
Is everything in place for version two?

46
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:32,402
Yep! We're keeping everything
from version one that made them miserable,

47
00:02:32,485 --> 00:02:35,155
adding a bunch of new stuff
that they'll hate.

48
00:02:35,238 --> 00:02:39,534
For example, all the coffee is
from those little pods.</font>

49
00:02:39,617 --> 00:02:42,370
[laughs] Diabolical.

50
00:02:42,954 --> 00:02:46,457
Plus, they will all have new soulmates,
of course.

51
00:02:46,541 --> 00:02:49,335
You gotta trust me on this, boss.
I've thought of everything.

52
00:02:50,336 --> 00:02:52,005
-I won't let you down.
-I think you will.

53
00:02:52,088 --> 00:02:55,008
I think this entire project of yours
is stupid and doomed to fail.

54
00:02:55,091 --> 00:02:58,011
<font face="Serif" size="18">I think you're going to be retired,
eliminated from existence,

55
00:02:58,094 --> 00:02:59,721
and burned on the surface
of a billion suns.

56
00:02:59,804 --> 00:03:02,557
And I have no doubt that you
and your cockamamie experiment

57
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:04,684
will go down in history
as colossal failures.

58
00:03:04,767 --> 00:03:06,728
-You know, I think if you--
-Toodle-oo.

59
00:03:07,312 --> 00:03:09,731
<font face="Serif" size="18">[Michael]  Okay. Take two, folks.</font>

60
00:03:09,814 --> 00:03:13,192
Any last questions
before we start up again? Yes.

61
00:03:13,276 --> 00:03:16,613
Just so I'm clear,
we're not pairing them up this time?

62
00:03:16,696 --> 00:03:21,701
Correct. Obviously, the eventual goal is
to get them to torture each other.

63
00:03:21,784 --> 00:03:25,371
But, first, we're gonna create
some nice, individual torment.

64
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:28,583
<font face="Serif" size="18">In version one, making them soulmates,</font>

65
00:03:28,666 --> 00:03:31,961
we probably bit off
more than we could chew.

66
00:03:32,045 --> 00:03:34,964
We could bite them? I didn't know
we were allowed to bite them.

67
00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:37,091
That's an expression, Chuck.

68
00:03:37,175 --> 00:03:38,384
Go ahead, Vicky.

69
00:03:38,468 --> 00:03:40,720
I have some questions
about my new character.

70
00:03:40,803 --> 00:03:45,934
<font face="Serif" size="18">I feel like I got "real" Eleanor.
Like, I got her, you know?

71
00:03:46,017 --> 00:03:50,647
But this new character, Denise.
I mean, who is she? I don't get her.

72
00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:53,149
Is she a quirky best friend type,

73
00:03:53,233 --> 00:03:56,819
or more of a "femme fatale,
sexuality is her weapon of choice" type?

74
00:03:56,903 --> 00:03:58,404
Both those things.

75
00:03:58,488 --> 00:04:01,157
I have some questions
about my character, too.</font>

76
00:04:01,241 --> 00:04:03,034
Like... can he bite them?

77
00:04:03,117 --> 00:04:06,746
No. Okay, reminder,
the most important thing tonight,

78
00:04:06,829 --> 00:04:08,039
and this is crucial,

79
00:04:08,122 --> 00:04:11,668
you need to get Eleanor drunk
at the welcome party

80
00:04:11,751 --> 00:04:15,004
so she will say and do
a bunch of bad stuff.

81
00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:16,631
Then, we take that stuff

82
00:04:16,714 --> 00:04:20,718
<font face="Serif" size="18">and use it to build
our chaos sequence in the morning.

83
00:04:20,802 --> 00:04:24,681
For example, you remember last time,
she stole all the cocktail shrimp,

84
00:04:24,764 --> 00:04:28,643
and we made giant nightmare shrimp
fly through the sky?

85
00:04:28,726 --> 00:04:29,560
[all laugh]

86
00:04:29,644 --> 00:04:32,230
See, it's those details
that make her realize

87
00:04:32,313 --> 00:04:34,565
she's in danger of being found out.

88
00:04:35,483 --> 00:04:40,947
<font face="Serif" size="18">Okay, all right, I know
that this kind of large-scale deception

89
00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:43,116
is not what you were trained to do.

90
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:45,702
There are gonna be days
when you are just sick

91
00:04:45,785 --> 00:04:51,874
of being around these disgusting humans,
with their weird, gross little mouths

92
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:54,294
and their stupid elbows.

93
00:04:54,377 --> 00:04:59,382
You're gonna be tempted to say,
"Screw it. Can't we just go back to HQ,</font>

94
00:04:59,465 --> 00:05:01,467
and do this the old-fashioned way?

95
00:05:01,551 --> 00:05:02,802
Pull out some fingernails,

96
00:05:02,885 --> 00:05:06,514
toss someone in an acid pit,
fire up the old penis flattener?"

97
00:05:06,597 --> 00:05:12,395
And sure, that sounds nice,
but it also sounds easy.

98
00:05:12,478 --> 00:05:16,316
We're all here because we believe
that there's a better way

99
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:21,946
<font face="Serif" size="18">to make humans miserable.
And I... I believe in you.

100
00:05:22,905 --> 00:05:27,452
So, torture on three. Ready?
One, two, three...

101
00:05:27,535 --> 00:05:28,870
[all] Torture!

102
00:05:28,953 --> 00:05:29,912
And biting!

103
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:31,497
Nope! No.

104
00:05:31,581 --> 00:05:33,583
[theme music playing]

105
00:05:40,339 --> 00:05:43,551
Hey, lady? Can you come back?

106
00:05:44,135 --> 00:05:45,887
Joey?

107
00:05:46,804 --> 00:05:48,347
<font face="Serif" size="18">Janine?</font>

108
00:05:49,348 --> 00:05:52,185
[stammers] Jaja?

109
00:05:53,311 --> 00:05:55,938
Why don't I ever listen to people
when they talk about themselves?

110
00:05:56,022 --> 00:05:58,399
No, it's annoying, and I'm right not to.

111
00:05:58,483 --> 00:06:02,862
Okay, Chidi, where are you?
Or what are you?

112
00:06:03,863 --> 00:06:05,948
A type of soup, maybe?

113
00:06:06,032 --> 00:06:07,992
[indistinct conversation]

114
00:06:10,328 --> 00:06:12,538
<font face="Serif" size="18">Hi, there. I'm Eleanor.</font>

115
00:06:12,622 --> 00:06:16,667
Nice to meet you, Eleanor.
I'm Nina, this is my soulmate, Bart.

116
00:06:16,751 --> 00:06:21,672
Love it! Love people's names,
and love learning all about them.

117
00:06:21,756 --> 00:06:22,632
Where are you all from?

118
00:06:22,715 --> 00:06:25,551
Well, oddly enough,
I was born in Mozambique--

119
00:06:25,635 --> 00:06:29,514
Cool. Listen, do you guys know if
there's a neighborhood phone book</font>

120
00:06:29,597 --> 00:06:31,057
with everybody's name listed in it?

121
00:06:31,140 --> 00:06:34,560
Oh, I don't think so,
'cause there's no phones here.

122
00:06:34,644 --> 00:06:36,270
There are no phones here?

123
00:06:37,105 --> 00:06:39,982
-Of course. Duh!
-[both chuckle]

124
00:06:40,066 --> 00:06:41,192
There's no use for 'em.

125
00:06:41,275 --> 00:06:43,444
I always prefer talking to people, anyway.

126
00:06:43,528 --> 00:06:47,532
<font face="Serif" size="18">People are like nature's apps.</font>

127
00:06:48,741 --> 00:06:50,493
Hmm. Anyway,

128
00:06:50,576 --> 00:06:52,495
we're on our way to get some pizza.
Would you like to join us?

129
00:06:52,578 --> 00:06:54,831
Maybe we could get know each other
a little bit, chat.

130
00:06:54,914 --> 00:06:56,624
Uh, I'm good.
I'm gonna explore a little bit,

131
00:06:56,707 --> 00:06:59,210
but it was so nice
to meet you, Nina, and--

132
00:07:00,128 --> 00:07:02,130
<font face="Serif" size="18">Bye-bye.</font>

133
00:07:05,967 --> 00:07:07,135
Oh, sorry, I didn't see you.

134
00:07:09,554 --> 00:07:11,681
Chidi? Are you Chidi?

135
00:07:16,477 --> 00:07:20,022
-Eleanor? What are you up to?
-Oh! Hey there, Michael.

136
00:07:20,106 --> 00:07:23,067
Just getting to know everyone
in the neighborhood.

137
00:07:23,151 --> 00:07:26,404
Who was that mysterious gentleman
wearing the nightgown?

138
00:07:26,487 --> 00:07:31,617
<font face="Serif" size="18">Oh, uh, that's Jianyu, a Taiwanese monk
who never speaks.

139
00:07:31,701 --> 00:07:34,203
Might be a little hard
to get to know him. [chuckles]

140
00:07:34,829 --> 00:07:37,707
Eleanor, you and I both know

141
00:07:37,790 --> 00:07:40,877
you're not like everyone else
in this neighborhood.

142
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:45,006
Everyone here led a remarkable life.

143
00:07:46,007 --> 00:07:50,970
But you, the work you did
as an environmental activist</font>

144
00:07:51,053 --> 00:07:53,431
was just extraordinary.

145
00:07:53,514 --> 00:07:54,891
Uh...

146
00:07:54,974 --> 00:07:57,768
Oh, well, it's the environment.

147
00:07:57,852 --> 00:08:00,104
I mean, I loved...

148
00:08:00,188 --> 00:08:01,272
mushrooms.

149
00:08:02,482 --> 00:08:03,900
I can honestly say that.

150
00:08:03,983 --> 00:08:07,945
Well, it paid off because
you were the number one point-getter

151
00:08:08,029 --> 00:08:09,739
<font face="Serif" size="18">in this entire neighborhood.</font>

152
00:08:09,822 --> 00:08:12,950
And as such, I was hoping
you could say a few words

153
00:08:13,034 --> 00:08:16,162
at tonight's welcome party
to introduce yourself?

154
00:08:16,746 --> 00:08:18,372
How can I say no? [chuckles]

155
00:08:18,456 --> 00:08:20,708
Can I say no?
It doesn't feel like I can say no.

156
00:08:20,791 --> 00:08:23,085
-But if I can, Michael, I'm saying no.
-Okay.

157
00:08:23,169 --> 00:08:27,340
<font face="Serif" size="18">You'll speak for maybe an hour or so?
Hey, you know what?

158
00:08:27,423 --> 00:08:29,592
I got you something to wear here.

159
00:08:29,675 --> 00:08:33,179
All the top point-getters wear these
on the first night.

160
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:36,766
Oh, you gotta be forking kidding me.

161
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:40,019
So, long story short,
my heart is in the Pope,

162
00:08:40,102 --> 00:08:43,564
my liver's in the Dalai Lama,
and my teeth were strung into a necklace</font>

163
00:08:43,648 --> 00:08:46,192
for a child king in French Polynesia.

164
00:08:46,275 --> 00:08:49,612
But it got me into the Good Place,
so can't complain.

165
00:08:49,695 --> 00:08:53,991
Wow! Can I tell you something,
just soulmate to soulmate?

166
00:08:54,075 --> 00:08:56,410
Hold that thought.
I'm gonna head to the gym.

167
00:08:56,494 --> 00:08:58,246
[chuckles]

168
00:08:58,329 --> 00:09:00,915
Are you serious?
Again, right now?</font>

169
00:09:01,624 --> 00:09:03,668
Yeah. I'll catch you later.

170
00:09:04,752 --> 00:09:06,921
Hey, there, Best Person.

171
00:09:07,004 --> 00:09:09,549
You must be Eleanor.
I'm Jessica, the host.

172
00:09:09,632 --> 00:09:11,926
-Hi.
-Michael told us about your speech.

173
00:09:12,009 --> 00:09:13,761
I can't wait to hear what you have to say.

174
00:09:13,844 --> 00:09:16,806
Me neither, Jessica. Me neither.

175
00:09:16,889 --> 00:09:20,935
<font face="Serif" size="18">Aw, don't be nervous.
Here, liquid courage.

176
00:09:21,018 --> 00:09:25,064
Actually, um, you know what?
I think I need to keep a clear head.

177
00:09:25,147 --> 00:09:27,858
Can you imagine getting drunk
before giving a big speech?

178
00:09:28,901 --> 00:09:30,611
Getting kicked out
of your niece's christening

179
00:09:30,695 --> 00:09:32,446
and then, only later,
once you've sobered up,

180
00:09:32,530 --> 00:09:35,533
<font face="Serif" size="18">realized you don't even have a niece?
It's like, who was that kid?

181
00:09:35,616 --> 00:09:36,867
[chuckles]

182
00:09:36,951 --> 00:09:39,787
So, Eleanor, you were
an environmental lawyer.

183
00:09:39,870 --> 00:09:41,455
-That's fascinating.
-I know.

184
00:09:41,539 --> 00:09:43,249
Just don't ask me questions about it.

185
00:09:43,332 --> 00:09:45,710
I am sick of describing
exactly what it means.

186
00:09:45,793 --> 00:09:48,254
<font face="Serif" size="18">Hey, I'm headed to the bar.
Can I grab you something?

187
00:09:48,337 --> 00:09:50,548
-How about a margarita?
-No, I'm good.

188
00:09:50,631 --> 00:09:53,759
Actually, I'm the best.
According to the sash.

189
00:09:56,304 --> 00:09:59,307
-She's still not drinking?
-Nope. Something's off.

190
00:09:59,390 --> 00:10:00,808
Should we...

191
00:10:00,891 --> 00:10:02,226
[chomping]

192
00:10:02,310 --> 00:10:03,227
No.

193
00:10:03,311 --> 00:10:05,229
<font face="Serif" size="18">-Keep it together.
-Yeah.

194
00:10:08,858 --> 00:10:12,778
Screw it. Couple of quick shots.

195
00:10:13,362 --> 00:10:15,740
Then I'm coming for you, shrimpies.

196
00:10:20,911 --> 00:10:23,664
[woman] Please don't make this harder
than it already is, Chidi.

197
00:10:28,210 --> 00:10:30,880
These are for you. Drink up.

198
00:10:32,673 --> 00:10:34,717
Hi. Is your name Chidi?

199
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,177
Yes?

200
00:10:36,260 --> 00:10:38,304
<font face="Serif" size="18">Ah! I knew you weren't a soup.</font>

201
00:10:39,305 --> 00:10:41,265
-What?
-Listen to me carefully.

202
00:10:41,349 --> 00:10:43,392
My name is Eleanor Shellstrop.

203
00:10:44,393 --> 00:10:46,103
We need to talk.

204
00:10:53,069 --> 00:10:55,613
Chidi? Come on in.

205
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,032
[Chidi]  There really is an afterlife.

206
00:10:58,115 --> 00:11:03,204
I can't wait to have breakfast with Kant,
lunch with Michel Foucault,

207
00:11:03,287 --> 00:11:04,413
<font face="Serif" size="18">dinner with Kant again,</font>

208
00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:06,248
so we can talk about
what came up at breakfast--

209
00:11:06,332 --> 00:11:10,086
I'm sorry, Chidi,
all the great philosophers in history

210
00:11:10,169 --> 00:11:11,754
ended up in the Bad Place.

211
00:11:11,837 --> 00:11:14,173
All of my heroes are--

212
00:11:14,256 --> 00:11:16,258
Being tortured. Yes. I'm afraid so.

213
00:11:16,342 --> 00:11:21,347
Actually, it is kind of clever
how they punish philosophers.</font>

214
00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:25,351
Every day, they make them
go to school naked.

215
00:11:25,434 --> 00:11:30,064
Then they take a test in a class
they've never been to. [chuckles]

216
00:11:30,147 --> 00:11:33,859
Then they smash them with hammers.
That part is not so clever.

217
00:11:33,943 --> 00:11:39,323
But the point is, Chidi,
you were way better than all of them.

218
00:11:39,407 --> 00:11:40,616
You're safe.

219
00:11:42,159 --> 00:11:45,996
<font face="Serif" size="18">-No way. Soulmates are real?
-They sure are.

220
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,917
Although, your soulmate situation
is a little unusual.

221
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,754
Oh, no. I don't have one, do I? That's
fine. Who needs a soulmate, anyway?

222
00:11:53,838 --> 00:11:57,716
My soulmate will be... books.

223
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,885
No, no. It's not that
you don't have a soulmate.

224
00:11:59,969 --> 00:12:02,471
<font face="Serif" size="18">It's that you have multiple soulmates.</font>

225
00:12:03,264 --> 00:12:09,645
Here, now, normally our omniscient system
perfectly analyzes each person's profile

226
00:12:09,728 --> 00:12:12,231
and matches him or her
with another person.

227
00:12:12,314 --> 00:12:16,360
But in your case, the system matched you
with two other people.

228
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:20,030
It's a rare occurrence,
like a double rainbow.

229
00:12:20,114 --> 00:12:22,658
<font face="Serif" size="18">Or someone on the Internet saying,</font>

230
00:12:22,741 --> 00:12:25,703
"You know what?
You've convinced me I was wrong."

231
00:12:25,786 --> 00:12:27,621
So, how do you choose
who I should be with?

232
00:12:27,705 --> 00:12:29,540
I don't choose. You do, Chidi.

233
00:12:29,623 --> 00:12:32,251
I... What?

234
00:12:32,334 --> 00:12:35,713
This is Angélique, Pedro and Pevita.

235
00:12:35,796 --> 00:12:41,385
According to the system, either Pedro
or Chidi could be matched perfectly</font>

236
00:12:41,469 --> 00:12:46,307
with either Angélique or Pevita.
So, figure it out. Should be fun.

237
00:12:47,308 --> 00:12:50,352
Cool beans. One second, guys.

238
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:52,438
-So, so-- Yeah.
-Yeah?

239
00:12:52,521 --> 00:12:56,525
So, making decisions
isn't necessarily my strong suit.

240
00:12:56,609 --> 00:12:57,651
I know that, buddy.

241
00:12:57,735 --> 00:13:01,030
You once had a panic attack
at a Make Your Own Sundae bar.</font>

242
00:13:01,113 --> 00:13:04,283
There were too many toppings
and very early in the process,

243
00:13:04,366 --> 00:13:06,827
you had to commit to a chocolate palette
or a fruit palette.

244
00:13:06,911 --> 00:13:09,705
If you couldn't decide, you wound up
with kiwi, Junior Mint, raisin,

245
00:13:09,788 --> 00:13:11,081
and it ruins everyone's night.

246
00:13:11,165 --> 00:13:15,461
Chidi, I am so sorry.
I literally cannot choose for you.</font>

247
00:13:15,544 --> 00:13:17,922
This has to be your decision.

248
00:13:18,005 --> 00:13:19,882
Buddy, you gotta trust me.

249
00:13:20,716 --> 00:13:24,345
I would never place you
in a painful situation.

250
00:13:24,929 --> 00:13:26,805
Great. [clears throat]

251
00:13:26,889 --> 00:13:28,224
You ready, Chidi?

252
00:13:28,307 --> 00:13:29,308
[mouthing] Perfect.

253
00:13:29,391 --> 00:13:33,479
Here you go, Chidi. One slice of Hawaiian
straight out the oven for ya.</font>

254
00:13:33,562 --> 00:13:35,564
I'm Denise. Welcome to my pizza place.

255
00:13:35,648 --> 00:13:38,651
-Thanks, Denise.
-And here's one for you. Have a nice day.

256
00:13:39,652 --> 00:13:42,571
It's interesting
that Hawaiian pizza's so popular here.

257
00:13:42,655 --> 00:13:44,907
Yeah, I guess a lot
of the residents love it.

258
00:13:44,990 --> 00:13:48,327
Makes you wonder what type of pizza
they have in the Bad Place, huh?

259
00:13:48,410 --> 00:13:49,578
<font face="Serif" size="18">[both chuckle]</font>

260
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:52,039
So, I can't believe
you studied in Brisbane.

261
00:13:52,122 --> 00:13:54,917
We must've just missed each other.
What was your thesis on?

262
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,381
Oh, gosh. It was so boring. It was called,
"Cultural Relativism and Moral Absolutism:

263
00:14:00,464 --> 00:14:03,801
An Exploration of Values As Seen Through
the Works of Alain LeRoy Locke

264
00:14:03,884 --> 00:14:05,886
<font face="Serif" size="18">-and Immanuel Kant."
-And Immanuel Kant!

265
00:14:05,970 --> 00:14:07,596
Shut up. You read it?

266
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:10,933
No, but that pairing
is the most obvious pairing

267
00:14:11,016 --> 00:14:14,687
to employ in a paper with that title,
and I wanna read it so bad.

268
00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:16,689
What about Morocco?

269
00:14:16,772 --> 00:14:18,274
You ever travel there?

270
00:14:18,357 --> 00:14:19,817
[clicks tongue]

271
00:14:22,403 --> 00:14:23,487
<font face="Serif" size="18">No.</font>

272
00:14:24,738 --> 00:14:27,199
What about anywhere else?
You been anywhere else?

273
00:14:27,283 --> 00:14:28,534
No.

274
00:14:30,578 --> 00:14:34,039
So, first impressions? Anyone?

275
00:14:34,123 --> 00:14:36,292
I kinda wanna hear what Chidi thinks.

276
00:14:37,334 --> 00:14:42,423
Well, um, I mean, you're both brilliant,
accomplished women,

277
00:14:42,506 --> 00:14:43,507
and Pedro, you're great, too.

278
00:14:43,591 --> 00:14:47,011
<font face="Serif" size="18">Just amazing people. I'm surrounded.
[exclaims and chuckles]

279
00:14:47,094 --> 00:14:51,348
But if I had to say who I, sort of,

280
00:14:51,432 --> 00:14:55,436
immediately bonded to on a gut level,

281
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:58,230
I think I would say that

282
00:14:58,314 --> 00:15:02,359
I kind of feel like
my soulmate is Angélique--

283
00:15:02,443 --> 00:15:05,779
[panting] Wait! Wait!

284
00:15:05,863 --> 00:15:07,740
<font face="Serif" size="18">There was a mistake in the calculations.</font>

285
00:15:07,823 --> 00:15:11,702
We had a four-hour time gap
in your profiles on May 10, 2003.

286
00:15:11,785 --> 00:15:16,415
I corrected that day's events
for all of you, and ran the numbers again.

287
00:15:16,498 --> 00:15:21,587
And the final result proves definitively
that Pedro is Angélique's soulmate,

288
00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:24,465
and, Chidi, your soulmate is Pevita.

289
00:15:25,049 --> 00:15:26,800
<font face="Serif" size="18">That was close. [chuckles]</font>

290
00:15:28,552 --> 00:15:30,679
Hey. You guys hadn't made
a decision yet, had you?

291
00:15:30,763 --> 00:15:32,264
No, we did not.

292
00:15:32,348 --> 00:15:34,016
No one said anything,
I didn't hear anything,

293
00:15:34,099 --> 00:15:36,852
and I certainly didn't say anything.
That's for darn sure.

294
00:15:36,936 --> 00:15:39,980
[both laugh]

295
00:15:45,069 --> 00:15:48,656
Okay. All right. See you later.

296
00:15:51,659 --> 00:15:54,662
<font face="Serif" size="18">This is fun. It's a fun party.</font>

297
00:15:54,745 --> 00:15:57,498
There's no question about it.
This is a fun situation.

298
00:15:58,374 --> 00:16:02,336
Hey. You guys are here.
The fun continues, nay, increases.

299
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,713
You two look nice.

300
00:16:04,797 --> 00:16:07,174
Thanks. And you look...

301
00:16:09,551 --> 00:16:10,427
fine.

302
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:12,930
Would I say you look
better than anyone else here?</font>

303
00:16:13,013 --> 00:16:15,641
No, I wouldn't say that.
Do you look bad? No.

304
00:16:15,724 --> 00:16:18,978
But good, would I go as far to say is,
you look good? Doubtful.

305
00:16:19,061 --> 00:16:19,895
Hey, wine.

306
00:16:20,896 --> 00:16:22,439
Mmm. Uh...

307
00:16:22,523 --> 00:16:24,108
Do I feel like red or white?

308
00:16:24,692 --> 00:16:28,195
Deep down in your heart of hearts,
you already know which one you want.

309
00:16:30,906 --> 00:16:32,408
<font face="Serif" size="18">Why isn't anyone talking?</font>

310
00:16:32,491 --> 00:16:34,284
Janet, could you show me
to the bar, please?

311
00:16:40,749 --> 00:16:45,963
Oh! Hey. Chidi, right? Denise.
We met earlier, remember?

312
00:16:46,547 --> 00:16:50,300
-Oh, yeah. Hi. Are you limping?
-Yeah, I am.

313
00:16:50,384 --> 00:16:51,719
Crazy story.

314
00:16:51,802 --> 00:16:55,139
See, I was a trapeze artist
in an illegal circus in Bangladesh--

315
00:16:55,222 --> 00:16:57,891
<font face="Serif" size="18">-Angélique.
-Hey, how are you doing?

316
00:16:58,892 --> 00:17:01,520
[chuckles] Oh, well, you know...

317
00:17:02,396 --> 00:17:04,857
stomach's in knots,
I'm stress-grinding my teeth,

318
00:17:04,940 --> 00:17:06,984
and it feels like
my soul is being suffocated.

319
00:17:07,067 --> 00:17:10,112
You know, your standard paradise stuff.
How about you?

320
00:17:10,195 --> 00:17:12,698
It's been a little uncomfortable.

321
00:17:12,781 --> 00:17:17,244
<font face="Serif" size="18">I think Pedro maybe heard you say
that thing you were gonna say.

322
00:17:17,327 --> 00:17:19,663
Oh, no. I'm so sorry, I...

323
00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:23,333
But I have to ask,
do you feel the way I feel?

324
00:17:23,417 --> 00:17:25,627
-We can't talk about this.
-I know,

325
00:17:25,711 --> 00:17:29,506
but if the numbers were that close,
I think I'm supposed to be with--

326
00:17:29,590 --> 00:17:33,260
Stop. Please don't make this harder
than it already is, Chidi.</font>

327
00:17:37,181 --> 00:17:38,057
These are for you.

328
00:17:39,308 --> 00:17:41,769
Hi. Is your name Chidi?

329
00:17:42,811 --> 00:17:45,355
-Yes?
-Ah! I knew you weren't a soup!

330
00:17:46,148 --> 00:17:48,317
-What?
-Listen to me very carefully.

331
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,446
My name is Eleanor Shellstrop.
We need to talk.

332
00:17:52,529 --> 00:17:54,573
-About what?
-Just shut your mouth,

333
00:17:54,656 --> 00:17:56,575
<font face="Serif" size="18">smile at me and walk over here.</font>

334
00:17:56,658 --> 00:18:00,829
Okay, you're definitely
my least favorite person I've met so far.

335
00:18:01,413 --> 00:18:03,082
I'm sorry, this is not a good time.

336
00:18:03,165 --> 00:18:04,124
I'm in the middle of something--

337
00:18:04,208 --> 00:18:07,586
Dude, I'm guessing we have about
30 seconds to talk before someone notices.

338
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:12,091
When I got here, some robot lady appeared
out of thin air and gave me this.</font>

339
00:18:12,174 --> 00:18:14,468
-You mean Janet.
-[groans] That's it. Janet.

340
00:18:14,551 --> 00:18:17,054
-Hi, there.
-Not now, Janet. Buzz off.

341
00:18:17,137 --> 00:18:18,138
Okay.

342
00:18:18,222 --> 00:18:22,309
Now, I have no memory of writing this,
but it is my handwriting.

343
00:18:22,893 --> 00:18:24,144
That's your name, right?

344
00:18:24,228 --> 00:18:26,980
So, for some reason, at some point,

345
00:18:27,064 --> 00:18:31,610
<font face="Serif" size="18">I put this note into...
that whatever-lady's robot mouth.

346
00:18:31,693 --> 00:18:32,945
You already forgot her name.

347
00:18:33,028 --> 00:18:37,574
No, I didn't. Her name is Janet.

348
00:18:37,658 --> 00:18:39,076
-Hi, there.
-[gasps] Fork off.

349
00:18:39,159 --> 00:18:39,993
Okay.

350
00:18:40,577 --> 00:18:43,497
From the second I got here,
these nerds have been acting real weird,

351
00:18:43,580 --> 00:18:45,165
<font face="Serif" size="18">trying to get me drunk.</font>

352
00:18:45,249 --> 00:18:47,918
My soulmate ditches me every time
I try to talk to him.

353
00:18:48,001 --> 00:18:52,673
And this Zen master guy
gave me this magic bracelet thing.

354
00:18:52,756 --> 00:18:54,424
And then he just ran away.

355
00:18:54,508 --> 00:18:58,637
Something very strange is going on here,
and the only person I trust is me.

356
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,349
And me told me to find you.
So, what's the deal?</font>

357
00:19:02,432 --> 00:19:03,433
What's happening? What do you got?

358
00:19:04,935 --> 00:19:10,315
Okay. Look, I'm sorry,
but none of this means anything to me,

359
00:19:10,399 --> 00:19:13,152
and I've got my own problems to deal with.
I'm sorry. I can't help you.

360
00:19:14,653 --> 00:19:18,657
-Attention, everyone! Speech time.
-[glass chimes]

361
00:19:19,825 --> 00:19:22,870
You're probably not a magic wizard
trapped in an amulet.

362
00:19:22,953 --> 00:19:25,914
<font face="Serif" size="18">But if you are,
please get me out of this speech.

363
00:19:34,214 --> 00:19:36,633
Tahani, come on in.

364
00:19:37,968 --> 00:19:39,928
You're in the Good Place, Tahani.

365
00:19:40,012 --> 00:19:42,848
[exclaims] What a surprise!

366
00:19:44,266 --> 00:19:46,143
But, yes, I accept.

367
00:19:46,226 --> 00:19:49,062
This is your soulmate, Tomás.

368
00:19:49,146 --> 00:19:52,941
Now, Tomás was a doctor
with the International Rescue Alliance,</font>

369
00:19:53,025 --> 00:19:57,196
and you raised money that ultimately
funded his medical mission.

370
00:19:57,279 --> 00:19:59,364
It's just so perfect.

371
00:19:59,448 --> 00:20:01,992
-It's lovely to meet you, Tahani.
-Charmed, I'm...

372
00:20:02,075 --> 00:20:03,285
Short.

373
00:20:04,369 --> 00:20:05,913
I'm sorry, did I just say "short"?

374
00:20:05,996 --> 00:20:10,292
I meant to say, "Charmed, I'm sure."
Because I am charmed to meet you.</font>

375
00:20:10,375 --> 00:20:12,628
It's just
an unfortunate Freudian short. [chuckles]

376
00:20:15,297 --> 00:20:16,673
Shall we?

377
00:20:18,508 --> 00:20:20,469
Where did you attend medical short?

378
00:20:20,552 --> 00:20:25,432
So, this is the living room,
as well as the kitchen and the bedroom.

379
00:20:26,141 --> 00:20:28,435
-It's so cozy.
-[chuckles]

380
00:20:29,019 --> 00:20:31,438
I feel like the walls are hugging me.

381
00:20:31,521 --> 00:20:36,068
<font face="Serif" size="18">Michael, I don't mean to be rude,
but this is simply absurd.

382
00:20:36,151 --> 00:20:39,488
Yes. Thank you.
I didn't want to say anything, but--

383
00:20:39,571 --> 00:20:42,491
There's only two of us.
We don't need all this space.

384
00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:43,951
"All this space"?

385
00:20:44,034 --> 00:20:47,788
Of course, you two humanitarians
don't want anything extravagant.

386
00:20:47,871 --> 00:20:49,122
<font face="Serif" size="18">I'll get rid of the second floor.</font>

387
00:20:50,707 --> 00:20:52,876
Okay. I'll let you two
have some alone time.

388
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,336
I'll see you at the party.

389
00:20:57,297 --> 00:21:00,884
Well, it certainly is quite quaint.
It's just...

390
00:21:02,052 --> 00:21:06,598
fun... I dare say, even quite charming...
Oh, no.

391
00:21:07,599 --> 00:21:10,686
-What's the matter?
-Sorry, it's just a self-portrait

392
00:21:10,769 --> 00:21:12,145
<font face="Serif" size="18">of my sister.</font>

393
00:21:12,980 --> 00:21:13,814
Wonderful.

394
00:21:13,897 --> 00:21:16,108
Your sister is Kamilah Al-Jamil?

395
00:21:16,191 --> 00:21:17,901
I used to play her music for my patients.

396
00:21:17,985 --> 00:21:21,530
At times, it felt like Kamilah's songs
were curing the malaria for us.

397
00:21:22,364 --> 00:21:23,657
Great.

398
00:21:24,825 --> 00:21:27,411
Well, I best be getting changed
for tonight.

399
00:21:27,494 --> 00:21:29,830
<font face="Serif" size="18">I can hardly wear a day dress
to an evening event.

400
00:21:29,913 --> 00:21:32,124
Sounds good.
I'm ready whenever you are.

401
00:21:33,583 --> 00:21:36,461
-Is that what you're wearing?
-Oh, yeah.

402
00:21:36,545 --> 00:21:40,382
My years treating remote villagers
taught me to favor comfort over style.

403
00:21:40,465 --> 00:21:42,843
But you should wear whatever you prefer.

404
00:21:42,926 --> 00:21:46,305
<font face="Serif" size="18">Well, I mean, as we are soulmates,</font>

405
00:21:46,388 --> 00:21:48,140
perhaps, I should also...

406
00:21:49,182 --> 00:21:50,851
dress down.

407
00:21:55,981 --> 00:21:57,357
You all right, my dear?

408
00:21:58,358 --> 00:22:02,154
Yes. Just not used to dressing
like a plumber-ess.

409
00:22:03,113 --> 00:22:06,116
Is that what you call a female plumber,
or is it a toilet sweep?

410
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:08,285
Or clog wench?

411
00:22:08,785 --> 00:22:11,538
<font face="Serif" size="18">[chuckles] In any case,
that's how I'm dressed.

412
00:22:11,621 --> 00:22:17,919
My darling, you are in the Good Place.
Relax. Feel the breeze on your feet.

413
00:22:18,503 --> 00:22:21,465
That's why Crocs have holes in them.
I'll get us a drink.

414
00:22:21,548 --> 00:22:23,383
Lower that beautiful face for me,
won't you?

415
00:22:23,467 --> 00:22:26,845
-Lower, lower, lower, lower, lower...
-Okay.

416
00:22:29,723 --> 00:22:31,016
<font face="Serif" size="18">Tahani, you all right?</font>

417
00:22:31,099 --> 00:22:35,562
Michael, hello.
Yes, I'm having a splendid time.

418
00:22:36,313 --> 00:22:39,983
Although, if I'm being honest,
a few aspects of my day

419
00:22:40,067 --> 00:22:42,319
have been sub-optimal.

420
00:22:42,402 --> 00:22:44,613
Really? Like what?

421
00:22:44,696 --> 00:22:49,076
[sighs] Well, my house is a bit small,
which is fine.

422
00:22:49,159 --> 00:22:53,121
<font face="Serif" size="18">It's just not what I'm used to.
And Tomás is lovely,

423
00:22:53,205 --> 00:22:58,085
but we haven't really "clicked" yet,
to use a mundane colloquialism,

424
00:22:58,168 --> 00:23:03,256
which I suppose I should do,
now that I'm wearing cargo pants.

425
00:23:03,340 --> 00:23:07,552
Tahani, it's very common
to experience adjustment pains.

426
00:23:07,636 --> 00:23:11,723
But the system matched you and Tomás.
And the system is never wrong.

427
00:23:12,724 --> 00:23:14,768
<font face="Serif" size="18">But guess what? This is the Good Place.</font>

428
00:23:14,851 --> 00:23:17,229
If you want your house to be larger,
then just ask.

429
00:23:17,312 --> 00:23:19,689
Do you want something this big?

430
00:23:19,773 --> 00:23:21,775
Or maybe bigger, like the Taj Mahal.

431
00:23:21,858 --> 00:23:24,236
I know, I know. How about a moon?

432
00:23:24,319 --> 00:23:26,530
Would you like to live
on your own private moon?

433
00:23:26,613 --> 00:23:29,908
<font face="Serif" size="18">No. No. No. My house is wonderful.</font>

434
00:23:29,991 --> 00:23:33,411
It's so silly to want
a bigger house, of all things,

435
00:23:33,495 --> 00:23:36,540
here in paradise. So, no.
No changes needed.

436
00:23:36,623 --> 00:23:39,584
Okay.
But if you change your mind, just ask.

437
00:23:39,668 --> 00:23:42,254
Because all the other residents
are very happy,

438
00:23:42,337 --> 00:23:46,466
so it'll give me plenty of time
to deal with whatever requests you make.</font>

439
00:23:46,550 --> 00:23:51,346
No demand is too,
what's the word, frivolous. Okay?

440
00:23:51,930 --> 00:23:53,723
Wow. That is rough.

441
00:23:57,936 --> 00:24:00,105
[Angélique] Please don't make this harder
than it already is, Chidi.

442
00:24:04,025 --> 00:24:06,945
These are for you. Drink up.

443
00:24:07,028 --> 00:24:10,824
-No, no. I--
-[chuckles] Hey! Twinsies.

444
00:24:11,408 --> 00:24:15,078
-I'm sorry?
-Look. Cargo pants buddies.</font>

445
00:24:16,246 --> 00:24:17,914
[chuckles] I bet we have a lot in common.

446
00:24:17,998 --> 00:24:22,252
I was a garbage man in Winnipeg.
How about you?

447
00:24:22,836 --> 00:24:24,129
Okay.

448
00:24:25,589 --> 00:24:27,048
Crocs also?

449
00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:28,884
[glass chimes]

450
00:24:28,967 --> 00:24:30,051
Speech time!

451
00:24:30,135 --> 00:24:32,971
You're probably not a magic wizard
trapped in an amulet.

452
00:24:33,054 --> 00:24:35,015
<font face="Serif" size="18">But if you are,
please get me out of this speech.

453
00:24:35,098 --> 00:24:38,101
I've asked our top point-getter here
to say a few words.

454
00:24:38,185 --> 00:24:40,478
So, take it away, Eleanor.

455
00:24:40,562 --> 00:24:41,646
[all applaud]

456
00:24:47,110 --> 00:24:51,698
-The dictionary defines "best" as being--
-Oh, God. Boring.

457
00:24:52,532 --> 00:24:54,492
I'd like to say a few words
if nobody minds.

458
00:24:55,076 --> 00:24:56,036
<font face="Serif" size="18">Thank you, wizard.</font>

459
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,164
I am Tahani. Tahani am me.

460
00:24:59,247 --> 00:25:03,001
And even though I wasn't
a "number one point-getter,"

461
00:25:03,084 --> 00:25:05,295
I want to welcome you all
to the neighborhood.

462
00:25:05,378 --> 00:25:09,382
You all look so beautiful tonight
with your regular-size pockets,

463
00:25:10,383 --> 00:25:11,843
regular-size soulmates...

464
00:25:12,427 --> 00:25:14,512
<font face="Serif" size="18">No offense, darling, wherever you are.</font>

465
00:25:14,596 --> 00:25:16,097
Probably somewhere down there.

466
00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:19,684
Why don't you try to ease her
off the stage and take over?

467
00:25:19,768 --> 00:25:22,854
The point is,
we're all good people, right?

468
00:25:22,938 --> 00:25:25,899
We all did the right thing,
whenever we could.

469
00:25:25,982 --> 00:25:30,320
And that's why it's so nice to be here
among you in this massive house</font>

470
00:25:30,403 --> 00:25:34,991
that I want. I want this house.
Give it. [laughs]

471
00:25:35,075 --> 00:25:37,494
No, I'm kidding.
But really, give me the house.

472
00:25:37,577 --> 00:25:40,247
Hey there, hot stuff.
Can I get you a cup of coffee?

473
00:25:40,330 --> 00:25:44,334
Get your hands off me. You think
you're better than I am, don't you?

474
00:25:44,417 --> 00:25:45,335
Just 'cause you're wearing that.

475
00:25:45,418 --> 00:25:47,921
<font face="Serif" size="18">Look at that terrible placement and angle.</font>

476
00:25:48,004 --> 00:25:49,547
Is this your first time wearing a sash?

477
00:25:49,631 --> 00:25:52,467
Yeah. It is. But I think
if we all just take a break--

478
00:25:52,550 --> 00:25:53,718
Give it to me!

479
00:25:53,802 --> 00:25:56,221
-[all gasp]
-[crashing]

480
00:25:58,598 --> 00:26:00,642
I got her off the stage.

481
00:26:08,566 --> 00:26:10,860
Jianyu, come on in.

482
00:26:12,112 --> 00:26:14,906
<font face="Serif" size="18">Before we start,
I know you were a Buddhist monk

483
00:26:14,990 --> 00:26:16,741
who kept a vow of silence.

484
00:26:16,825 --> 00:26:20,620
Would you prefer
to remain silent here, as well?

485
00:26:23,540 --> 00:26:26,626
Every resident here in the Good Place
has a soulmate.

486
00:26:26,710 --> 00:26:30,672
Now, some of the pairings are platonic,
some are romantic.

487
00:26:30,755 --> 00:26:34,050
But what you have with your soulmate
is unique.</font>

488
00:26:34,134 --> 00:26:39,639
You have a spiritual connection
that transcends the physical realm.

489
00:26:41,182 --> 00:26:43,810
This person's gonna be your best bud.

490
00:26:49,691 --> 00:26:53,945
Jianyu, let me introduce you
to your soulmate, Luang.

491
00:26:54,029 --> 00:26:58,283
He is also a Buddhist monk
from the Lumbini zone of Nepal

492
00:26:58,366 --> 00:27:01,244
You and Luang share an identical soul.

493
00:27:01,328 --> 00:27:07,000
<font face="Serif" size="18">Like binary stars, orbiting one another
in a perfect reflective harmony.

494
00:27:07,083 --> 00:27:10,879
You won't ever have
a single moment of loneliness

495
00:27:10,962 --> 00:27:14,215
because you'll always be
right next to each other.

496
00:27:14,299 --> 00:27:15,300
For eternity.

497
00:27:16,384 --> 00:27:18,553
I'll let you two get acquainted.

498
00:27:18,636 --> 00:27:22,891
I'm sure you have a lot
to not talk about. [chuckles]

499
00:27:22,974 --> 00:27:25,852
<font face="Serif" size="18">Because... Well, you get it, you get it.</font>

500
00:27:47,749 --> 00:27:48,750
[sighs]

501
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:16,027
Oh! Sorry. I didn't see you.

502
00:28:16,611 --> 00:28:18,738
Chidi? Are you Chidi?

503
00:28:22,534 --> 00:28:24,202
Eleanor? What are you up to?

504
00:28:24,285 --> 00:28:25,954
Oh! Hey there, Michael.

505
00:28:26,955 --> 00:28:29,165
Just getting to know
everyone in the neighborhood.

506
00:28:30,083 --> 00:28:31,918
<font face="Serif" size="18">Who was that mysterious gentleman?</font>

507
00:28:51,771 --> 00:28:54,065
Hello, you beautiful spirits.

508
00:28:54,149 --> 00:28:56,526
Can I offer you two something to drink?

509
00:28:56,609 --> 00:28:57,819
-Janet.
-Hi, there.

510
00:28:59,237 --> 00:29:03,450
This is Janet. Now, she can get you
literally anything you want.

511
00:29:03,533 --> 00:29:05,118
All you have to do is ask.

512
00:29:05,201 --> 00:29:08,079
Of course,
you two won't ever want anything</font>

513
00:29:08,163 --> 00:29:10,790
because you're perfectly content.

514
00:29:11,791 --> 00:29:16,421
Oh, I know. How about something special?
Janet, two yak's milks, please.

515
00:29:16,504 --> 00:29:17,964
Enjoy.

516
00:29:35,064 --> 00:29:36,733
[glass chimes]

517
00:29:36,816 --> 00:29:37,984
Speech time!

518
00:29:38,067 --> 00:29:40,653
-If we all take a break--
-Give it to me!

519
00:29:40,737 --> 00:29:43,156
-[all gasp]
-[crashing]</font>

520
00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:44,949
I got her off the stage.

521
00:29:45,033 --> 00:29:47,452
Tahani? Are you all right?

522
00:29:47,535 --> 00:29:49,954
Yes. Fine. Never better.

523
00:29:50,038 --> 00:29:52,207
Top of my game, actually.

524
00:29:52,290 --> 00:29:54,501
You'll have to excuse me.
I've got to go.

525
00:29:54,584 --> 00:29:57,587
Look. Got some shrimp...

526
00:29:57,670 --> 00:30:01,716
in one of my
many, many cargo pants pockets.

527
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,011
<font face="Serif" size="18">-[cries]
-What the fork is happening?

528
00:30:10,683 --> 00:30:12,644
Okay, here we go.

529
00:30:12,727 --> 00:30:14,229
How's it going, boss man?

530
00:30:14,312 --> 00:30:16,981
Enough chit-chat.
Is everything in place for version two?

531
00:30:17,065 --> 00:30:21,152
Yep. I've thought of everything.
I won't let you down.

532
00:30:21,236 --> 00:30:23,363
I'm hoping you could say a few words

533
00:30:23,446 --> 00:30:26,699
<font face="Serif" size="18">at tonight's welcome party
to introduce yourself?

534
00:30:26,783 --> 00:30:28,910
How can I say no? [chuckles]

535
00:30:28,993 --> 00:30:34,415
So cozy.
I feel like the walls are hugging me.

536
00:30:35,542 --> 00:30:39,587
How about something special?
Janet, two yak's milks, please.

537
00:30:40,713 --> 00:30:42,215
Why isn't anyone talking?

538
00:30:42,298 --> 00:30:44,133
[Chidi] Janet, could you show me
to the bar, please?

539
00:30:46,970 --> 00:30:49,347
<font face="Serif" size="18">Michael, may I please
speak with you privately?

540
00:30:49,430 --> 00:30:50,723
Sure. Sure.

541
00:30:52,308 --> 00:30:58,231
It just feels like I used to be
"real" Eleanor, and now I'm Denise.

542
00:30:58,314 --> 00:31:01,693
Denise is a good part,
with a great backstory.

543
00:31:02,277 --> 00:31:06,614
You run the best pizza place
in the neighborhood.

544
00:31:06,698 --> 00:31:09,951
You have a cat, and that's cool.

545
00:31:10,034 --> 00:31:13,705
<font face="Serif" size="18">I took this job
because it seemed fun and different,

546
00:31:13,788 --> 00:31:16,583
and in the original version,
I got to break Chidi's heart

547
00:31:16,666 --> 00:31:21,254
20 times and it was great.
I mean, he was miserable.

548
00:31:21,337 --> 00:31:24,924
And now Angélique gets to torture him?

549
00:31:25,008 --> 00:31:28,761
Angélique is a hack.
I can act circles around her.

550
00:31:28,845 --> 00:31:30,471
<font face="Serif" size="18">But I have nothing to do.</font>

551
00:31:30,555 --> 00:31:33,057
I am a Ferrari, okay?

552
00:31:33,141 --> 00:31:36,352
And you don’t keep a Ferrari
in the garage.

553
00:31:36,436 --> 00:31:38,938
I hear your concern. I do.
And I promise you,

554
00:31:39,022 --> 00:31:44,360
there is a great arc coming for Denise,
the pizza lady, in about 80 years or so.

555
00:31:44,444 --> 00:31:47,780
Chidi is going to
accidentally kill your cat.

556
00:31:47,864 --> 00:31:50,491
<font face="Serif" size="18">It's gonna give you
a great chance to shine.

557
00:31:50,575 --> 00:31:54,037
Can I just have
something that makes me stand out?

558
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:58,124
A mysterious past or a limp?
I want a limp.

559
00:31:58,207 --> 00:31:59,876
This is supposed to be the Good Place.
Why would you--

560
00:32:02,045 --> 00:32:07,008
Okay. No, I hear you. I tell you what.
Go nuts, right? Limp your heart out.

561
00:32:08,885 --> 00:32:11,554
<font face="Serif" size="18">Hey. Chidi, right?</font>

562
00:32:11,638 --> 00:32:13,848
Hi. Are you limping?

563
00:32:16,309 --> 00:32:18,728
-How's it going?
-We're having some trouble with Eleanor.

564
00:32:18,811 --> 00:32:21,648
She's not engaging in conversation.
She's not drinking.

565
00:32:21,731 --> 00:32:23,107
Eleanor's not drinking?

566
00:32:23,983 --> 00:32:27,695
She brought a flask in the car
during her driver's test.

567
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:30,239
<font face="Serif" size="18">Okay, we need to keep things moving here.</font>

568
00:32:30,323 --> 00:32:32,825
I'm about to make her talk for an hour.

569
00:32:32,909 --> 00:32:34,869
She'll definitely end up
insulting somebody.

570
00:32:34,953 --> 00:32:36,245
[glass chimes]

571
00:32:36,329 --> 00:32:37,497
Speech time!

572
00:32:37,580 --> 00:32:39,624
We're all good people, right?

573
00:32:39,707 --> 00:32:42,669
We all did the right thing,
whenever we could.

574
00:32:42,752 --> 00:32:45,338
<font face="Serif" size="18">-If we all take a break--

576
00:32:47,924 --> 00:32:50,259
Tahani? Are you all right?

577
00:32:50,343 --> 00:32:52,637
[Tahani] Yes. Fine. Never better.

578
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,180
-You'll have to excuse me.
-Come here.

579
00:32:54,263 --> 00:32:56,099
[Tahani] I've got to go.

580
00:32:57,183 --> 00:32:59,477
-What the fork, man?
-I know that book.

581
00:33:00,061 --> 00:33:03,314
<font face="Serif" size="18">Is that a nerd pickup line?
Because it's only kind of working.

582
00:33:03,398 --> 00:33:05,441
No. The note you showed me before?

583
00:33:06,401 --> 00:33:09,821
Right, this is from a book called
What We Owe to Each Other.

584
00:33:09,904 --> 00:33:12,490
I used to teach it. I was a professor
of ethics and moral philosophy.

585
00:33:12,573 --> 00:33:14,367
-All right, brag much?
-I'm trying to help you.

586
00:33:14,450 --> 00:33:15,493
<font face="Serif" size="18">Sorry. Okay.</font>

587
00:33:15,576 --> 00:33:22,417
I've never seen you before in my life,
but I think, somehow, we know each other.

588
00:33:25,336 --> 00:33:28,589
That definitely sounded like
a pickup line, and I'm not not interested,

589
00:33:28,673 --> 00:33:30,550
but we need to figure this out first.

590
00:33:31,634 --> 00:33:36,180
It's not that bad, right? I mean,
we got a drunken speech. That's good.

591
00:33:36,264 --> 00:33:39,267
<font face="Serif" size="18">No. It isn't.</font>

592
00:33:39,350 --> 00:33:42,478
Tahani gave the drunken speech
instead of Eleanor.

593
00:33:42,562 --> 00:33:45,440
We can't build a chaos sequence
out of Tahani's speech

594
00:33:45,523 --> 00:33:50,028
because she thinks she belongs here,
ya ding-dong.

595
00:33:50,820 --> 00:33:53,865
Okay. We can still salvage this.
Where's Eleanor?

596
00:33:54,574 --> 00:33:57,118
She's gone. I can't find her anywhere.

597
00:33:57,201 --> 00:33:59,662
<font face="Serif" size="18">Maybe she left with Chidi? He's gone, too.</font>

598
00:33:59,746 --> 00:34:02,999
-What?
-Or maybe she left with Jason.

599
00:34:03,082 --> 00:34:06,419
You lost Jason? How's that even possible?

600
00:34:06,502 --> 00:34:09,505
Your only job is
to stand next to that idiot.

601
00:34:09,589 --> 00:34:13,259
I got distracted by the fire.
I love fire.

602
00:34:13,342 --> 00:34:16,471
You know, my main job is to burn people
with fire.

603
00:34:16,554 --> 00:34:17,638
<font face="Serif" size="18">What's up, guys?</font>

604
00:34:17,722 --> 00:34:19,640
What are you doing here?
Why aren't you with Eleanor?

605
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:21,601
I told her I was going to the gym again.

606
00:34:22,185 --> 00:34:25,021
Why would you say that
in the middle of a party?

607
00:34:25,104 --> 00:34:26,564
-You told me to.
-No. I didn't.

608
00:34:26,647 --> 00:34:29,192
You said, if Eleanor tries to confess
she doesn't belong here,

609
00:34:29,275 --> 00:34:32,070
<font face="Serif" size="18">find a reason to avoid her.
Like saying, "I'm going to the gym."

610
00:34:32,153 --> 00:34:33,112
That's what I've been saying.

611
00:34:33,196 --> 00:34:37,366
That was a suggestion of the type of thing
you could say. Don't...

612
00:34:39,035 --> 00:34:43,748
How many times have you specifically
told her you were going to the gym?

613
00:34:44,332 --> 00:34:47,126
Five... No, nine.

614
00:34:47,210 --> 00:34:48,336
You dimwit!

615
00:34:48,419 --> 00:34:52,965
<font face="Serif" size="18">Hey, man. I was perfectly happy
in my old job in the twisting department.

616
00:34:53,049 --> 00:34:56,052
People came in, and I'd twist them
until they snapped in half,

617
00:34:56,135 --> 00:35:00,139
and I'd move on to the next one.
But this job is weird!

618
00:35:00,223 --> 00:35:02,642
-[all agreeing]
-It's all talk, no twisting.

619
00:35:02,725 --> 00:35:04,811
If you don't like the way I do it,
get somebody else.

620
00:35:04,894 --> 00:35:06,270
<font face="Serif" size="18">I'm going to the gym!</font>

621
00:35:06,354 --> 00:35:08,481
Fine. Yeah, you do that.
You go to the gym.

622
00:35:09,065 --> 00:35:10,483
Okay. We can still pull this off.

623
00:35:10,566 --> 00:35:13,194
We just need to find the four humans.
Okay?

624
00:35:13,277 --> 00:35:14,612
[claps] Okay.

625
00:35:14,695 --> 00:35:16,823
[chuckles] Right now.

626
00:35:18,658 --> 00:35:23,913
Everyone in this room,
find those four humans!

627
00:35:26,707 --> 00:35:28,835
<font face="Serif" size="18">Are you gonna talk
or walk around like a nerd

628
00:35:28,918 --> 00:35:31,170
trying to get a personal best
on his Fitbit?

629
00:35:31,254 --> 00:35:35,842
I'm sorry. I'm trying to process
a tremendous amount of insane information.

630
00:35:35,925 --> 00:35:37,635
I mean, you're not supposed to be here.

631
00:35:37,718 --> 00:35:41,806
But you and I clearly met here
somehow before now.

632
00:35:41,889 --> 00:35:44,225
Does that mean
I'm not supposed to be here?</font>

633
00:35:44,308 --> 00:35:47,145
I don't know, dude.
Were you a good person on Earth?

634
00:35:47,228 --> 00:35:50,606
I think so. I spent my life in pursuit
of fundamental truths about the...

635
00:35:50,690 --> 00:35:51,941
[gasps] Oh, no!

636
00:35:53,276 --> 00:35:54,944
I used almond milk in my coffee,

637
00:35:55,027 --> 00:35:57,363
even though I knew
about the negative environmental impact.

638
00:35:57,446 --> 00:35:58,489
What?

639
00:35:58,573 --> 00:36:01,367
<font face="Serif" size="18">-Eleanor, what do we do?
-I don't know, dude!

640
00:36:01,450 --> 00:36:05,204
But we better figure it out soon
or we're doomed.

641
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:15,798
-Uh... Janet?
-Hi, there, Jianyu.

642
00:36:15,882 --> 00:36:17,175
Hi, Janet.

643
00:36:17,884 --> 00:36:19,802
-Can I tell you something?
-Sure.

644
00:36:19,886 --> 00:36:24,390
I'm not Jianyu. And I'm not a silent monk.

645
00:36:24,473 --> 00:36:26,267
My real name is Jason.

646
00:36:26,350 --> 00:36:29,353
<font face="Serif" size="18">I don't know what's going on.
I got here and Michael said I'm a monk,

647
00:36:29,437 --> 00:36:31,480
and he told me
I was gonna have a new best friend,

648
00:36:31,564 --> 00:36:33,524
and that we were going to live
in a yogurt.

649
00:36:33,608 --> 00:36:35,985
-A yurt.
-Oh, yeah. Yurt, for short.

650
00:36:36,068 --> 00:36:37,862
I was psyched to meet my new best friend.

651
00:36:37,945 --> 00:36:42,909
But he turned out to be this weird
silent guy that won't leave me alone.</font>

652
00:36:42,992 --> 00:36:47,955
I don't want to go back to my yogurt.
Can I go to your house?

653
00:36:48,039 --> 00:36:52,084
I don't have a house, Jason.
I live in a boundless void.

654
00:36:52,168 --> 00:36:53,377
Can I go there?

655
00:36:53,461 --> 00:36:56,339
No. It's a boundless void.

656
00:36:57,381 --> 00:36:59,884
-Okay.
-So, what you're saying is,

657
00:36:59,967 --> 00:37:03,095
there are certain aspects of your
existence here in the Good Place</font>

658
00:37:03,179 --> 00:37:04,639
that are confusing for you?

659
00:37:04,722 --> 00:37:08,768
And you're searching for someplace to go
where you feel less lonely.

660
00:37:10,061 --> 00:37:11,187
I know somewhere you could go.

661
00:37:15,024 --> 00:37:16,234
Why did you do that?

662
00:37:16,317 --> 00:37:19,320
Because you were nice to me.
You're my friend.

663
00:37:19,403 --> 00:37:20,655
Okay.

664
00:37:23,324 --> 00:37:24,325
<font face="Serif" size="18">[Jianyu] Okay.</font>

665
00:37:25,451 --> 00:37:27,703
If we got all the way to Scanlon,

666
00:37:27,787 --> 00:37:31,374
we must have been studying very intensely
for a long time.

667
00:37:31,457 --> 00:37:34,835
Or you grabbed a random book of mine,
and tore a page out.

668
00:37:34,919 --> 00:37:36,837
I'll be honest.
That sounds more like me.

669
00:37:36,921 --> 00:37:38,422
-[rapid knocking]
-Ah!

670
00:37:39,131 --> 00:37:41,842
<font face="Serif" size="18">Eleanor and Chidi.
What a pleasant surprise.

671
00:37:41,926 --> 00:37:43,719
I'm so happy you two have met.

672
00:37:43,803 --> 00:37:48,474
I'm just going door-to-door, apologizing
for the commotion earlier tonight.

673
00:37:48,557 --> 00:37:52,103
The first night in the afterlife can be
a little overwhelming.

674
00:37:52,186 --> 00:37:54,563
Don't worry about us, Michael.
We are doing fine.

675
00:37:54,647 --> 00:37:56,440
<font face="Serif" size="18">Oh, good. Glad to hear that.</font>

676
00:37:56,524 --> 00:37:57,817
Well, it's getting late.

677
00:37:57,900 --> 00:38:01,112
Chidi, allow me to escort you
back to your house.

678
00:38:02,029 --> 00:38:04,323
Hello, all. Sorry for the late hour.

679
00:38:04,407 --> 00:38:07,410
Eleanor, I wanted to stop by
and give you back your sash.

680
00:38:07,493 --> 00:38:10,997
-That's okay. You can just keep it.
-No! I don't deserve it.

681
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,458
<font face="Serif" size="18">I made a complete fool of myself tonight.
I interrupted your big speech,

682
00:38:14,542 --> 00:38:18,963
badly stained my cargo pants which,
I have to admit, are quite comfortable.

683
00:38:19,046 --> 00:38:23,467
Oh, God, what's happened to me?
I'm praising off-the-rack separates.

684
00:38:23,551 --> 00:38:25,261
Tahani, please, it's late.
What we should do--

685
00:38:25,344 --> 00:38:29,348
No. Look, ever since I got here,
it feels like something's been off.</font>

686
00:38:29,432 --> 00:38:33,519
Tahani. There you are.
I've been worried sick about you.

687
00:38:33,602 --> 00:38:35,146
[Eleanor] That's her soulmate?

688
00:38:35,229 --> 00:38:38,190
Is there a second one of him
that stands on his shoulders?

689
00:38:38,274 --> 00:38:41,360
Chidi, there you are.
I've been worried sick about you.

690
00:38:41,444 --> 00:38:45,573
Okay. All right, everybody, now we are
really imposing on Eleanor here.</font>

691
00:38:45,656 --> 00:38:48,075
-Chidi, let's everybody take off--
-Hey, Eleanor...

692
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:52,705
This person would like to speak with you.
Privately. About something.

693
00:38:52,788 --> 00:38:54,081
Oh, really?

694
00:38:54,165 --> 00:38:56,042
Yep. Bye.

695
00:38:56,125 --> 00:38:58,627
[Eleanor] This is the wise monk
who gave me the magic amulet.

696
00:38:58,711 --> 00:39:01,422
I gotta figure out what it means.
Could be the key to this mystery.</font>

697
00:39:01,505 --> 00:39:03,007
Luang. Perfect.

698
00:39:03,591 --> 00:39:06,844
Why don't you take Jianyu
back to your yurt? Right away.

699
00:39:06,927 --> 00:39:08,846
Homie, no.

700
00:39:08,929 --> 00:39:11,807
I'm not spending another second
with this loser.

701
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,769
You said he was going to be
my best friend, but he is not.

702
00:39:14,852 --> 00:39:19,315
My best friend from Jacksonville
was named Pillboi and he was dope!</font>

703
00:39:19,398 --> 00:39:23,444
We would talk together, get high together,
throw old batteries at drones together,

704
00:39:23,527 --> 00:39:25,946
but this guy can't hold
a camel to Pillboi.

705
00:39:26,530 --> 00:39:28,616
Okay, I no longer think he's a wise monk,

706
00:39:28,699 --> 00:39:30,493
and I'm pretty sure
this is just a piece of garbage.

707
00:39:30,576 --> 00:39:32,912
-Babe, there you are. I've been worried--
-[Eleanor] Let me stop you.</font>

708
00:39:32,995 --> 00:39:35,915
Can I guess?
You've been worried sick about me.

709
00:39:37,333 --> 00:39:38,209
I'm headed to the gym.

710
00:39:40,294 --> 00:39:43,214
-Sure. Why not?
-I'm quite confused.

711
00:39:43,297 --> 00:39:45,299
Let me explain, gorgeous.

712
00:39:45,383 --> 00:39:48,928
I don't know what this place is,
but it is certainly not the Good Place.

713
00:39:49,553 --> 00:39:51,764
Michael is forking with us.

714
00:39:51,847 --> 00:39:54,433
<font face="Serif" size="18">-Like a prank show?
-Yeah! Like a prank show!

715
00:39:54,517 --> 00:39:58,979
Except, according to this note, it's
a prank show we've all been on before.

716
00:39:59,063 --> 00:39:59,939
What note?

717
00:40:00,022 --> 00:40:03,484
Apparently, I wrote myself a note,
and stuck it in that Jackie lady's mouth.

718
00:40:03,567 --> 00:40:04,443
Janet. Her name is Janet.

719
00:40:04,527 --> 00:40:06,195
-Oh! Right. Janet.
-Hi, there.

720
00:40:06,278 --> 00:40:07,405
<font face="Serif" size="18">-Hi, Janet.
-Hi, Jason.

721
00:40:07,488 --> 00:40:09,240
[laughs]

722
00:40:10,908 --> 00:40:12,993
Are you kidding me?

723
00:40:13,077 --> 00:40:18,707
Eleanor Shellstrop,
you sneaky little so-and-so.

724
00:40:18,791 --> 00:40:23,003
That was some very quick thinking.
I'm extremely impressed.

725
00:40:23,087 --> 00:40:26,632
And, to be honest, I'm relieved.

726
00:40:26,715 --> 00:40:30,719
At least there's an explanation
for why this all went south so fast.</font>

727
00:40:30,803 --> 00:40:33,180
But you won't be so lucky next time.

728
00:40:33,264 --> 00:40:34,807
-Next time?
-Yeah.

729
00:40:34,890 --> 00:40:36,392
He's going to do it again.

730
00:40:37,101 --> 00:40:40,062
That's not going to work this time, dummy.

731
00:40:40,146 --> 00:40:42,731
Okay. Excuse me.
I'm sorry, but this is unacceptable.

732
00:40:42,815 --> 00:40:44,358
I demand to speak to your superior.

733
00:40:44,442 --> 00:40:47,695
<font face="Serif" size="18">I am so sorry, madam.
Please forgive me. [snaps fingers]

734
00:40:48,779 --> 00:40:53,784
Well, as humans like to say,
"Third time's the charm." Right?

735
00:40:53,868 --> 00:40:54,702
[all groaning]

736
00:40:54,785 --> 00:40:58,289
I take full responsibility
for the false start.

737
00:40:58,372 --> 00:41:02,251
But I assure you all,
there is no note this time.

738
00:41:02,334 --> 00:41:03,711
I'll prove it to you.

739
00:41:03,794 --> 00:41:05,421
<font face="Serif" size="18">-Janet!
-Hi, there.

740
00:41:05,504 --> 00:41:07,965
Hi, Janet.
Open your mouth, please.

741
00:41:08,966 --> 00:41:10,217
Thank you.

742
00:41:12,803 --> 00:41:15,931
See, no notes, no clues or loopholes.

743
00:41:16,015 --> 00:41:17,516
Nothing in there.

744
00:41:18,726 --> 00:41:19,727
Thank you, Janet.

745
00:41:19,810 --> 00:41:23,522
So, let's all pretend the last attempt
never even happened. Questions.

746
00:41:23,606 --> 00:41:27,151
<font face="Serif" size="18">Maybe it's none of our business,
but did you tell Shawn what happened?

747
00:41:27,234 --> 00:41:30,905
Yes, I did. And he completely understood.

748
00:41:30,988 --> 00:41:33,657
As a matter of fact, he found
the whole thing kind of funny.

749
00:41:33,741 --> 00:41:35,367
But he was very supportive.

750
00:41:35,451 --> 00:41:38,329
He says he's very excited
for us to get going again.

751
00:41:38,412 --> 00:41:40,206
So, anyone else?

752
00:41:40,289 --> 00:41:42,917
<font face="Serif" size="18">Anybody? No?</font>

753
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,294
Let's get out there
and make some miseries.

754
00:41:48,797 --> 00:41:50,925
Testing, one, two, three.

755
00:41:51,008 --> 00:41:52,218
[line ringing]

756
00:41:53,928 --> 00:41:55,262
Hey there, boss man.

757
00:41:55,346 --> 00:41:58,140
You were supposed to call me this morning,
give me an update.

758
00:41:59,266 --> 00:42:00,643
Right. Sorry. Yeah.

759
00:42:00,726 --> 00:42:04,522
<font face="Serif" size="18">It's just, the, um...
The chaos sequence was going so well.

760
00:42:04,605 --> 00:42:06,857
Better than the first time, in my opinion.

761
00:42:06,941 --> 00:42:09,818
Eleanor got completely drunk last night.

762
00:42:09,902 --> 00:42:12,905
She talked for like an hour,
even flashed somebody.

763
00:42:12,988 --> 00:42:14,490
So, we had a lot to work with.

764
00:42:14,573 --> 00:42:16,242
So attempt number two is on track so far?

765
00:42:16,325 --> 00:42:18,410
<font face="Serif" size="18">Smooth as silk. Everything's great.</font>

766
00:42:18,494 --> 00:42:20,746
-[distant screaming]
-Oh...

767
00:42:20,829 --> 00:42:22,706
Sounds like everything's
going well back there, too.

768
00:42:22,790 --> 00:42:24,333
We're trying out the new butthole spiders.

769
00:42:24,416 --> 00:42:26,335
-Ah!
-They're enormous.

770
00:42:26,418 --> 00:42:27,878
You know, good old-fashioned torture.

771
00:42:27,962 --> 00:42:29,046
<font face="Serif" size="18">The way it's supposed to be.</font>

772
00:42:29,755 --> 00:42:31,799
Good luck with attempt number two.

773
00:42:31,882 --> 00:42:35,052
And, remember, there will be
no attempt number three.
