Quotes 

• Janet : The more human I become, the less things make sense. But that's part of the fun, right?

  Eleanor Shellstrop : What do you mean?

  Janet : If there were an answer I could give you to how the universe works, it wouldn't be special. It would just be machinery fulfilling its cosmic design. It would just be a big, dumb food processor. But since nothing seems to make sense, when you find something or someone that does, it's euphoria. In all this randomness and this pandemonium, you and Chidi found each other, and you had a life together. Isn't that remarkable?

  Eleanor Shellstrop : [laughs slightly]  "Pandemonium" is from "Paradise Lost". Milton called the center of Hell "Pandemonium", meaning "place of all demons". Chidi tricked me into reading "Paradise Lost" by telling me Satan was, and I quote, "my type": a big, mean, bald guy with a goatee. I mean, he wasn't wrong.

  Janet : Oh, no, that's very on brand for you.

  Eleanor Shellstrop : I guess all I can do is embrace the pandemonium, find happiness in the unique insanity of being here, now.

  Janet : We'll do this together. In the words of the man that I love: "I got you, dog."

  Eleanor Shellstrop : Thanks, Janet. You know, for a robot, you make a really good girlfriend.

  Janet : I'm one out of three of those things... but thank you.

• Eleanor Shellstrop : Janet?

  [Janet appears] 

  Janet : Hi, there.

  Eleanor Shellstrop : Hi, Janet. Can you just, you know, like, tell me the answer?

  Janet : Sorry?

  Eleanor Shellstrop : You know, the answer to everything. You know all there is to know in the universe. Crunch the numbers. Tell me the answer. What's the point of love if it's just gonna disappear? And how is it worse to not love anybody? There has to be meaning to existence, otherwise the universe is just made of pain, and I don't like the thought of that, so tell me the answer.

• Janet : If there were an answer I could give you to how the universe works, it wouldn't be special. It would just be machinery fulfilling its cosmic design. It would just be a big, dumb food processor. But since nothing seems to make sense, when you find something or someone that does, it's euphoria.
