Eternity - The Complexity of Doing the Right Thing
Anna:
I gotta say, I'm really proud of you, Larry. You're doing the right thing.
Larry:
I feel terrible.
Anna:
Yeah. That happens. Sometimes doing the right thing does feel terrible.
Larry:
So, you never told me why you ended up staying here.
Anna:
Um, coming here... I'll just say that coming here was an improvement for me. Here, I get to help lost souls find their happiness. And that gives me a sense of purpose. But after time, you stop caring about what's best for people. You're just pushing them along and making sure the afterlife is ticking over, you know? Sell, sell, sell. But then you came along. Yeah. With that great ordinary love. And you reminded me of why I chose this place. So, thank you for that, Larry.
Larry:
Well, I guess you're welcome.

The Holdovers - Dessert Dilemma in The Holdovers
Paul Hunham:
Hmm. Hey, what's that?
Waitress:
That's our signature dessert. Cherries jubilee.
Paul Hunham:
Mmm. That sounds great. Bring the young vandal here cherries jubilee.
Waitress:
I'm afraid I can't. The dish contains brandy. Same deal with the bananas Foster.
Mary Lamb:
Yeah, but doesn't the alcohol just burn off?
Waitress:
It's still against the rules, ma'am.
Paul Hunham:
Fine. I'll order the cherries jubilee. We can share it.
Waitress:
Mm. I can't allow that, either.
Paul Hunham:
Can we say it's his birthday?
Angus Tully:
It's my birthday.
Waitress:
Well, happy birthday, young man. Let's get you a slice of cake or some other age appropriate dessert.
Paul Hunham:
Christ on a crutch. What kind of a fascist hash foundry are you running here?
