Quotes 

• Chidi Anagonye : Uh, listen. Maybe on paper, you and Janet don't make total sense, but who cares? The relationship you have built together is wonderful. She knows you and loves you, and that's all that matters.

  Jason Mendoza : Do you really believe that?

  Chidi Anagonye : Of course I do.

  Jason Mendoza : [laughs]  Sucker!

  Chidi Anagonye : Sorry?

  Jason Mendoza : I got you so bad. Dude, pretend what you just said was what you said to you instead of to me. And you have to listen to yourself, because it was already in your own head and then came out. But just put it back in your head, and realize that it was you talking about you and Eleanor.

  Chidi Anagonye : Against all odds, I know what you mean, and I-I got to give it up. That was... that was good.

  Jason Mendoza : Yeah, it was. Chess mate.

• Chidi Anagonye : But also, while Michael is trying to get the Architects trained, we're supposed to find the first 1000 humans to take the test, people who will just sail right through it so we can build confidence in the system. So what are the criteria? Should it be people with the highest point totals or overcame the greatest hardships?

  Jason Mendoza : I think we should just start with the gimmes - the very best people who ever lived. So Evel Knievel, Kool-Aid Man, Mini-Me, DJ Jazzy Jeff, a genie so we can wish for infinity people...

  Chidi Anagonye : Jason...

  Jason Mendoza : Sure, throw me in there, too. Also Fat Bastard, the World's Most Interesting Man, Pikachu, Karate Kid, Wendy from Wendy's, Grumpy Cat, and the GPS lady that tells you where to drive.

  [sighs] 

  Jason Mendoza : Feels like a good stopping point. Let's call it a day, come back fresh tomorrow. Great job, everyone.

• Jason Mendoza : What's going on, dog? I know you're upset. You have a tell.

  Chidi Anagonye : I do?

  Jason Mendoza : Yeah, you telled Eleanor before that you were upset, and I think you still are.

• Chidi Anagonye : Looking at Eleanor's life made me realize how different we are. If the system works and we both pass our tests, I don't see any version of eternity where she doesn't get bored of me. I mean, my fake heaven was a 600-square-foot apartment that was essentially a bookcase and a toilet, and I loved it.

  Jason Mendoza : So what? It's cool that you guys are so different. Sometimes two people who have nothing in common get together, and it rules. Opposites attract.

  Chidi Anagonye : Well, you need that to be true because you're dating Janet. Ultimate opposites.

  Jason Mendoza : So, what, are you saying Janet might get bored of me?

  Chidi Anagonye : No, that's not--I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean...

  Jason Mendoza : Man...

  [He wanders away in a stupor] 

  Chidi Anagonye : Oh, no. No, Jason, come back.

  [sigh] 

  Chidi Anagonye : I wish I were back in my toilet library.
