'''Charlotte:''' Don't. Don't you dare. If you are not out of my driveway in thirty minutes, I will call the police. And if you ''ever'' try to contact me or my family again, I will fucking kill you.

'''Todd:''' No! No. [=BoJack=], just... stop. You are all the things that are wrong with you. [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech It's not the alcohol or the drugs or any of the shitty things that happened to you in your career or when you were a kid, it's you]]! Alright? It's you. ... Fuck, man.

-> '''Diane:''' The real reason you go to Vietnam is because you accidentally see your soon to be ex-husband kiss someone else. At first you think "Oh, it's a fling, whatever, they're drunk, it's a party." But then he puts his hand on the small of her back exactly the way he used to do to you. It means "I got you", and when he did it to you, it made you feel safe. And you realize he'll never do that to you again. And it breaks your heart again. After your heart was so broken that you thought it could never get anymore broken. You thought it was safe, but still somehow it finds a new way to break. Because even though you were the one that asked for this, now that you got it, you're completely adrift. With no compass or map or sense of where to go or what to do. So you go to Vietnam. You think you might find community, a connection to something bigger, but you don't. In fact, you feel even more alone than you were before you left. But you survive. You learn that you can survive being alone.
-->--"The Dog Days Are Over"

->'''[=BoJack=]''': My mom died and all I got was this free churro. You know the shittiest thing about all of this? Is when that stranger behind the counter gave me that free churro, that small act of kindness showed more compassion than [[ResentfulGuardian my mother gave me her entire goddamned life]]. Like, how hard is it to do something ''nice'' for a person? This woman at the Jack-in-the-Box didn't even know me. ''I'm your son''. All I had was you!
-->--"Free Churro"

->'''[=BoJack=]''': All I learned about being good, I learned from TV. And in TV, flawed characters are constantly showing people [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther they care]] with these surprising grand gestures. And I think that part of me still believes that's what love is.
-->--"Free Churro"

->'''[=BoJack=]''': You know what it's like? It's like that show ''Series/{{Becker}}'', you know, with Creator/TedDanson? I watched the entire run of that show, hoping [[GrowingTheBeard it would get better]], and it never did. It had all the right pieces, but it just-- it couldn't put them together. And when it got canceled, I was really bummed out, not because I liked the show, but because I knew [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot it could be so much better]], and now it never would be. And ''that's'' what losing a parent is like. It's like ''Becker''. Suddenly, you realize you'll never have the good relationship you wanted, and as long as they were alive, even though you'd never admit it, ''part'' of you, the ''stupidest'' goddamned part of you, [[HopeSpot was still holding on to that chance]]. And you didn't even realize it until that chance went away. "[[MeaningfulEcho My mother is dead, and everything is worse now]]." Because now I know I will never have a mother who looks at me from across the room and says: "[=BoJack=] Horseman, I see you."
-->--"Free Churro"

->'''[=BoJack=]''': My darling mother gave the eulogy. My entire life, I never heard her say a kind word to OR about my father, but at his funeral, she said, [[SincerityMode "My husband is dead, and everything is worse now.]]"

On my first day of training, my instructor told me that there are going to be times when you'll see someone in trouble. You're going to want to rush in there and do whatever you can to save them, but you have to stop yourself, because there are some people you can't save. 'Cause those people will thrash and struggle and try to take you down with them

->'''[=BoJack=]''': I don't know how to be, Diane. It doesn't get better and it doesn't get easier. I can't keep lying to myself, saying I'm gonna change. I'm poison.\\
'''Diane''': [=BoJack=]...\\
'''[=BoJack=]''': I come from poison, I have poison inside me, and I destroy everything I touch. That's my legacy. I have nothing to show for the life that I've lived, and I have nobody in my life who's better off for having known me.\\
'''Diane''': That isn't true.\\
'''[=BoJack=]''': Isn't it, though?

->'''Diane''': When I was a kid, I used to watch you on TV, and you know I didn't have the best family. Things weren't that great for me.

->'''Princess Carolyn''': Hey, you want to know what I do when I have a really bad, awful, terrible day?\\
'''[=BoJack=]''': What?\\
'''Princess Carolyn''': I imagine my great-great-great granddaughter in the future talking to her class about me. She's poised and funny, and tells people about me and how everything worked out in the end. And when I think about that, I think about how everything's going to work out. Because how else could she tell people?\\

->'''Beatrice''': Yes, that's right... What else?
->'''Bojack''': The crickets are chirping, and the lake is still, and the night is full of stars.
->'''Beatrice''': I can see it; it's so clear. Wh-what are we doing here, Bojack?
->'''Bojack''': We're sitting on the back porch, and we're listening to your brother play the piano, and we're eating ice cream - Vanilla ice cream.

->'''Bojack''': Can you taste the ice cream, mom?
->'''Beatrice''': Oh, Bojack. It's so... delicious.

->'''Princess Carolyn:''' I got into this business because I love stories. They comfort us, they inspire us, they create a context for how we experience the world. But also, you have to be careful, because if you spend a lot of time with stories, you start to believe that life is just stories, and it's not. Life is life, and that's so sad because there's so little time and... what are we doing with it?

'''[=BoJack=]''': ...I really think that we'd both feel better if we just--\\
'''Herb''': I'm ''dying!'' I'm not gonna feel better! And I'm not gonna be your prop so you can feel better!\\
'''[=BoJack=]''': You have to believe me. I did everything I could.\\

'''[=BoJack=]''': It's not my fault you got fired.\\

->'''Herb''': You know what your problem is? You want to think of yourself as the good guy. Well, I know you better than anyone, and I can tell you that you're not.

'''[=BoJack=]''': ''Yeah'', I'm not seeing it. But that doesn't matter. Not everything's about me. ...And maybe I ''am'' a little jealous. Not because I actually ''want'' to date Princess Carolyn anymore, but just because... I don't like the idea that I can't. I guess I just assumed I always could.

->'''[=BoJack=]''': My question is for Diane. Look, I'm sorry about all the stuff I said about you earlier. We can publish the book you wrote.

I just hated reading that book because I hated feeling like that's how ''you'' saw me. Because I guess you know me better than anybody, and if you think that...

->'''[=BoJack=]''': I'm sorry I accused you of murder, American TV Legend Henry Winkler.\\
'''Henry Winkler''': No need to apologize. You ascribed a mystery to Herb's death to give it meaning, but there is no meaning in death. That's why it's so terrifying!\\

'''Tanisha''': So what, I should just settle?\\
'''[=BoJack=]''': Yes, thank you! Exactly! Settle! Because, otherwise, you're just gonna get older, and harder, and more alone. And you're gonna do everything you can to fill that hole with friends, and your career, and meaningless sex, but the hole doesn't get filled. And one day, you're gonna look around, and you're gonna realize that everybody loves you! But nobody likes you, and that is the loneliest feeling in the world.

And sometimes I think that I know myself, but maybe that's a trap, because maybe I am "Cool sexy" Diane, or "Really in touch with her feelings" Diane or possibly other Dianes we don't even know about yet, the point is I'm all of the Dianes. I love that you do crazy things that make no sense like filling the house with spaghetti straighteners! And we're really good for each other, or at least, you are good for me. You're fun, and you're sweet, and I love you, and I need you. I don't always have the right words, but drugs help.

->'''Ana''': [=BoJack=], listen. When I was 17, I snuck out to a fraternity party. The roads were icy and I swerved into the lake. I came to underwater.
->It was dark and cold, and I didn't even know which way was up. I thought for sure I was going to drown. And then I noticed when I opened my mouth, the air bubbles floated up, and that's how I knew which way to swim.
->'''[=BoJack=]''': That is a terrifying story.
->'''Ana:''': [=BoJack=], when you find yourself lost and disoriented and underwater and you don't know which way is up, it's important to breathe.

->'''[=BoJack=]''': Todd, I'm sorry, alright? I screwed up, I- I know I screwed up, I--\\
'''Todd''': Oh great, of course! Here it comes! You can't keep doing this! You can't keep doing shitty things and then feel bad about yourself like that makes it okay! You need to be better!\\
'''[=BoJack=]''': I know, and I'm sorry, okay? I was drunk and there was all this pressure with the Oscar campaign, but now that it's over, I- I- I--\\
'''Todd''': No! No. [=BoJack=], just... stop. You are all the things that are wrong with you. [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech It's not the alcohol or the drugs or any of the shitty things that happened to you in your career or when you were a kid, it's you]]! Alright? It's you. ...[[PrecisionFStrike Fuck]], man. What else is there to say?

->'''Sarah Lynn''': [[LastWords I want to be an architect.]]

->'''[=BoJack=]''': See, Sarah Lynn? We're not doomed. In the great, grand scheme of things, we're just tiny specks that will one day be forgotten. So it doesn't matter what we did in the past, or how we'll be remembered. The only thing that matters is right now, this moment, this one spectacular moment we are sharing together. Right, Sarah Lynn? Sarah Lynn? ... [[PleaseWakeUp Sarah Lynn]]?

->'''Ana''': After I almost drowned, I decided I would never again be weaker than water. So I became a lifeguard. On my first day of training, my instructor told me that there are going to be times when you'll see someone in trouble. You're going to want to rush in there and do whatever you can to save them, but you have to stop yourself, because there are some people you can't save. 'Cause those people will thrash and struggle and try to take you down with them
->'''[=BoJack=]''': [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint What does this have to do with me?]]
-->--"That's Too Much, Man!"

->'''Todd''': I'm not gay. I mean, I don't think I am, but... I don't think I am straight, either. I don't know what I am. [[{{Asexuality}} I think I might be nothing]].

->'''Sarah Lynn''': I want to be an architect.
