- Mr. Peanutbutter: Sweetie, you know I support you, whatever you want to do, but you're not gonna find what you're looking for in these awful made-up places. The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning. It's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you'll be dead.
- BoJack Horseman: What do I do now?
- Diane Nguyen: Well, That's the problem with life, right? Either you know what you want, and then you don't get what you want. Or you get what you want, and then you don't know what you want
- BoJack Horseman: Well, that's stupid.
- Diane Nguyen: Yeah...
- Princess Carolyn: Oh fish. Of course! Why would you ever make things easy for me when instead you could make things incredibly difficult. Laura! Clear our my schedule! I have to push a boulder up a hill and then have it roll over me time and time again with no regard for my well-being!
- BoJack Horseman: The two of you are playing with fire.
- Mr. Peanutbutter: A fire called having a good idea.
- Todd Chavez: Maybe a fire called friendship.
- BoJack Horseman: Fires aren't called things.
- Todd Chavez: What about the Chicago fire? Or Gabe.
- Mr. Peanutbutter: Who's Gabe?
- Todd Chavez: Just a fire I meant once, named him Gabe.
- Diane Nguyen: When I first moved to L.A., I thought I was gonna do really important work. Y'know, just writing stuff that makes a difference! Then you gotta fall into one thing, and then another.
- BoJack Horseman: Well, you got time. There's always later, right?
- Diane Nguyen: Yeah, I guess there's always later. Do you remember the last time I saw you and you asked if I thought you were a good person deep down?
- BoJack Horseman: Do I remember that? Yeah, vaguely.
- Diane Nguyen: You really caught me off guard. I didn't know what to say.
- BoJack Horseman: Well, do you? Think I'm a good person? Deep down?
- Diane Nguyen: That's the thing. I don't think I believe in "deep down". I kinda think all you are is just the things that you do.
- BoJack Horseman: Well, that's depressing.
- Diane Nguyen: [laughs]
- BoJack Horseman: For what it's worth, I think your writing does make a difference.
- Diane Nguyen: Thanks.
- BoJack Horseman: I really wanted you to like me, Diane.
- Diane Nguyen: I know.
- Mr. Peanutbutter: Todd, it's all happening!
- Todd Chavez: Hooray! And you know I don't throw that word around lightly.
- Secretariat: Secretariat: BoJack, when I was your age, I got sad. A lot. I didn't come from such a great home, but one day, I started running, and that seemed to make sense, so then I just kept running. BoJack, when you get sad, you run straight ahead and you keep running forward, no matter what. There are people in your life who are gonna try to hold you back, slow you down, but you don't let them. Don't you stop running and don't you ever look behind you. There's nothing for you behind you. All that exists is what's ahead.
- Mr. Peanutbutter: The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't the search for meaning; is to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you will be dead.
