Michael : For months, you and I have been debating "Are people good or bad?" But as I watched those three people pick themselves up and dust themselves off, I realized we've been asking the wrong question. What matters isn't if people are good or bad. What matters is if they're trying to be better today than they were yesterday. You asked me where my hope comes from. That's your answer.

Bad Janet : Can you just skip to the end?
Michael : No. I need to tell you the whole story.
Bad Janet : Why? Every story about humans ends the same way. Just tell me how they screwed up and put me out of my misery.
Michael : You're judging them too quickly. Trust me, I've spent a lot more time with people than you have.
Bad Janet : And I know literally everything that every one of them has ever done. Do you know what's happening right now on Earth? Wars, murders, women in $400 yoga pants are refusing to vaccinate their children. Vindictive nerds at Apple are changing the charging cable shape again.

Bad Janet : Where does this hope come from, man? This insane hope that people are worth the trouble. To quote a terrible song by a terrible musician that people love so much they constantly put it in terrible movie trailers, humans are "b-b-b-b-bad to the bone".
Michael : Well, I think that they're g-g-g-good sometimes. And you should give them the b-b-b-benefit of the d-d-d-doubt.
