Quotes

Eleanor Shellstrop : We threw Brent in there because there is no reason any of them should help him because Brent sucks. Brent is the opposite of a box of doughnuts.
Jason Mendoza : Toilet full of broccoli.
Eleanor Shellstrop : Yeah, kinda, Brent is a toilet full of broccoli. But because he sucks so bad, if they do risk their safety to help him, they'll get more points.
Jason Mendoza : Basically it's a Hail Mary. It's risky, but if we complete it, we win the game.
Tahani Al-Jamil : [to Eleanor] That was two good analogies in a row. I'm now worried that he's a demon in a Jason suit.

Tahani Al-Jamil : Speaking of which, the theme is "One Year Down, Infinity to Go." Dress is London black tie. That means Knightsbridge black tie, not Kensington or, heaven forbid, West Brompton.
[laughs]
Tahani Al-Jamil : Can you imagine?
Jason Mendoza : [laughing naively] No.

Michael : Oh, man. Was this a bad idea? I mean, what if this was a bad idea?
Jason Mendoza : It wasn't, homey. It was a good idea.
Michael : Can anyone else weigh in?
Jason Mendoza : I'm serious. In football, trying to run out the clock and hoping for the best never works. It's called "prevent defense." You don't take any chances and just try and hang on to your lead. But prevent defense just prevents you from winning. It's always better to try something.
Tahani Al-Jamil : [Everyone is silently awed] Jason, that was coherent.
Jason Mendoza : Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to.

Tahani Al-Jamil : Simone, look at this logically. We are in paradise! There's fresh air, mountains, Janet! And yes, some of us are under 5'10", but other than that, it is literally perfect here!
Simone Garnett : No it is not. Jason is proof! And if you need more evidence that this isn't the Good Place, clearly he's not the only one who doesn't belong.
[looks pointedly at Brent]
Brent Norwalk : Actually, she's right.
[Everyone stares incredulously]
Brent Norwalk : And I know it for a fact.
Chidi Anagonye : ...for the first time ever, I am desperate for you to keep talking.
