NARRATOR:
Last season on The Good Place...

MICHAEL:
In the afterlife, there's a Good Place

and there's a Bad Place.

You're in the Good Place.
- SHE SIGHS

Eleanor, you are my soulmate.

Chidi, you'll stand by my side
no matter what, right?

Of course I will.
- I'm not supposed to be here.

Wait, what?
- Eleanor, Chidi

I would like you to meet
Tahani and Jianyu.

Boop!
- Oh!

You booped me.
- I did.

His real name is Jason.
He's a drug-dealing DJ from Florida.

What's up, homie?
- ELEANOR: The problem in the neighbourhood

is me.
- ALL GASP

You have all done bad things
since you arrived here.

The Bad Place is owed two people.
You can decide.

Holy motherforking shirtballs.

This is the Bad Place.

HE CACKLES

Except for you four

everyone in this neighbourhood
is one of us.

You saw us all on Earth

a selfish ass, an idiot DJ

a tortured academic, a hot, rich fraud.

You thought we would torture each other.

The only thing you succeeded in doing

was bringing us all together.

That's it! My big mistake

was having you be soulmates
living next to each other.

Next time, I'll spread you out

so it's more of a slow burn.

I'm gonna erase your memories,
make a few changes

and start over again. Just gotta
get the boss-man to sign off.

If this thing goes sideways again,
you are done.

ELEANOR:
Do your worst. We figured

it out once, we can do it again. Janet.

Open up.

Because you know what, Michael?

Ya basic...
- HE CLICKS HIS FINGERS

You, Eleanor Shellstrop,
are dead.

Cool.
- I'm your soulmate.

You'll stand by me no matter what, right?

Hold that thought.
Is it OK if I go work out?

I gotta stay jacked.
It's who I am.

See you soon.
- JANET CHIMES

Hi there.
- ELEANOR YELPS

I'm Janet.
I think this is yours.

After I was rebooted,
I found it in my mouth.

What the fork is a "Chidi"?

Why can't I say fork?

OK, here we go.

Confidence, Mikey.

Project confidence.

There he is! How's it going,
boss-man?

Enough chit-chat. Is everything
in place for version two?

Yup! We're keeping everything from
version one that made them miserable

adding a bunch of new stuff that
they'll hate.

For example, all the coffee is
from those little pods.

HE LAUGHS
Diabolical.

Plus, they will all have new
soulmates, of course.

You gotta trust me on this, boss.
I've thought of everything.

I won't let you down.
- I think you will.

I think this entire project of yours
is stupid and doomed to fail.

I think you're going to be retired,
eliminated from existence

and burned on the surface
of a billion suns.

And I have no doubt that you
and your cockamamy experiment

will go down in history
as colossal failures.

You know, I think if...
- Toodle-oo.

MICHAEL:
OK, take two, folks.

Any last questions
before we start up again?

Yes.
- Just so I'm clear...

we're not pairing them up this time?
- Correct.

Obviously, the eventual goal
is to get them to torture each other but...

first we're going to create some nice,
individual torment.

In version one, making them soulmates

we probably bit off more
than we could chew.

We could bite them?

I didn't know we were allowed to
bite them!

That's an expression, Chuck.

Alright, go ahead, Vicky.

Yeah, I have some questions
about my new character.

I feel like I got Real Eleanor -
like, I got her, you know?

But this new character, "Denise",
I mean, who is she?

I don't get her.

Is she a quirky best friend type,
or more of a...

a femme fatale "sexuality is her weapon
of choice" type?

Both, both those things.

I have some questions
about my character too, like...

can he bite them?
- No.

MICHAEL:
OK, reminder.

The most important thing tonight,
and this is crucial

you need to get Eleanor drunk
at the welcome party

so she will say and do
a bunch of bad stuff.

And then we take that stuff

and use it to build our chaos
sequence in the morning.

For example, you remember last time?

She stole all the cocktail shrimp

and we made giant nightmare shrimp
fly through the sky?

See, it's those details
that make her realise

she's in danger of being found out.

CROWD MURMURS

OK. I know that this kind of large-scale
deception

is not what you were trained to do.

There are gonna be days when you're just
sick of being around

these disgusting humans, with their...

weird, gross little mouths
and their stupid elbows.

You're gonna be tempted
to say, "Screw it."

"Can't we just go back to HQ
and do this the old-fashioned way?"

"Pull out some fingernails,
toss someone in an acid pit"

"fire up the old penis flattener?"
And sure...

sure, that sounds nice.

But it also sounds easy.

We're all here because we believe
that there's a better way

to make humans miserable.

And I... I believe in you.

So, "torture" on three.

Ready? One, two, three...
- ALL: Torture!

And biting!
- Nope! No.

Hey, lady?

Can you come back?

J... Joey?

Janine?

J... Jaja?

SHE SCOFFS
Why don't I ever listen

to people when they talk about themselves?

No, it's annoying, and I'm right not to.

OK, Chidi, where are you?

Or what are you?

A type of soup, maybe?

Hi there.

I'm Eleanor.
- Nice to meet you, Eleanor. I'm Nina.

This is my soulmate, Bart.

Love it.
Love people's names

and love learning all about them.
Where are you all from?

Well, oddly enough

I was born in Mozambique...
- Cool.

Listen, do you guys know if there's, like,
a Neighbourhood phone book

with everybody's name listed in it?

Oh, I don't think so, cos,
I mean, there's no phones here.

There are no phones here?

Of course.

Duh!
- THEY CHUCKLE

There's no use for 'em.
I always prefer talking to people anyway.

People are like nature's apps.

Huh.

Anyway, we're on our way to get some pizza.
Would you like to join us?

Maybe we could get to know each other
a little bit, chat.

Uh, I'm good.
I'm gonna explore a little bit.

But it was so nice to meet you Nina,
and B...

bye-bye!

Oh, sorry, I didn't see you.

Chidi?

Are you Chidi?

Eleanor? What are you up to?
- Oh, hey there, Michael.

Just getting to know everyone
in the neighbourhood.

Oh!

Who was that mysterious
gentleman wearing the nightgown?

Oh, uh, that's Jianyu, a Taiwanese monk
who never speaks.

Might be a little hard to get to know him.

HE LAUGHS

Eleanor, you and I both know

that you're not like everyone else
in this neighbourhood.

Everyone here led a remarkable life.

But you...

the work you did
as an environmental activist

was just extraordinary!

SHE CHUCKLES
Ah. Well, it's the environment.

I mean, I loved...

um... mushrooms.

I can honestly say that.

Well, it paid off, because you
were the number one point-getter

in this entire neighbourhood.

As such, I was just hoping
that you could say a few words

at tonight's welcome party.
You know, just to introduce yourself.

How can I say no?
SHE LAUGHS

Can I say "no"?
It doesn't feel like I can say "no."

But if I can, Michael, I'm saying "no".

OK, so, you'll speak for...

maybe an hour or so?
Hey, you know what?

I got you a little something to wear here.

Now, all the top point-getters
wear these on the first night.

Oh, you gotta be forking kidding me...

So, long story short,
my heart is in the Pope

my liver's in the Dalai Lama,
and my teeth were strung into a necklace

for a child-king in French Polynesia.

But it got me into the Good Place so,
can't complain.

Wow. Can I...

tell you something?
Just soulmate to soulmate?

Hold that thought.

I'm gonna head to the gym.
- SHE LAUGHS

Oh, you're serious. Again? Right now?

Yeah. I'll catch you later!

Hey there, Best Person!
You must be Eleanor.

I'm Jessica, the host.
- Hi.

Michael told us all about your speech.
I can't wait to hear what you have to say.

Me neither, Jessica. Me. Neither.

Aw, don't be nervous. Here.

Liquid courage.
- Actually, um...

you know what?
I think I need to keep a clear head.

Can you imagine getting drunk
before giving a big speech?

Getting kicked out
of your niece's christening

and then, only later,
once you've sobered up

realise you don't even have a niece.

It's like, who was that kid?

So, Eleanor,
you were an environmental lawyer.

That's fascinating.
- Yeah.

I know. Just don't ask me any questions
about it.

I am so sick of describing
exactly what it means.

Hey, I'm headed to the bar.
Can I grab you something?

How about a margarita?
- No, I'm good.

Actually, I'm the best,
according to the sash.

She's still not drinking?
- Nope.

Something's off.
- Should we...?

Om-nom-nom-nom...

No.
- Mm-mm.

Keep it together.

SHE SIGHS
Ah, screw it.

Couple of quick shots...
SHE GASPS

And then I'm coming for you,
shrimpies.

WOMAN: Please don't make this harder
than it already is, Chidi.

These are for you.

Drink up.

Hi. Is your name Chidi?

Yes?

Ah! I knew you weren't a soup.
- What?

Listen to me very carefully.
My name is Eleanor Shellstrop.

We need to talk.

WHOOSH

DOOR OPENS

Chidi? Come on in.

CHIDI:
So there really is an afterlife?

I can't wait to have breakfast
with Kant and lunch with Michel Foucault

and then have dinner with Kant again

so we can talk about
what came up at breakfast.

I'm sorry, Chidi, all the great philosophers
in history

ended up in the Bad Place.

All of my heroes are...?
- Being tortured. Yes, I'm afraid so.

Actually, it is kind of clever
how they punish philosophers.

Every day, they make them
go to school naked

and then they take a test
in a class they've never been to.

MICHAEL CHUCKLES

And then they smash them
with hammers.

And that part is not so clever.

But the point is, Chidi,
you were way better than all of them.

You're safe.

No way. Soulmates are real?
- They sure are.

Although, your soulmate situation
is a little unusual.

Oh, no.
I don't have one, do I?

That's fine. I mean, who needs
a soulmate, anyway?

My soulmate will be...

books!

No, no, it's not that you don't have
a soulmate

it's that you have multiple soulmates.

Here. Now...

Normally, our omniscient system

perfectly analyses each person's profile

and then matches him or her
with another person.

But in your case, the system matched you
with two other people.

It's a rare occurrence,
like a double rainbow

or someone on the Internet saying,
"You know what?"

"You've convinced me I was wrong."

So, how do you choose
who I should be with?

Oh, I don't choose.
You do, Chidi.

HE STAMMERS
I... what?

This is Angelique, Pedro, and Pevita.

According to the system, either Pedro

or Chidi could be matched perfectly
with either Angelique

or Pevita. So figure it out.

Should be fun.

Cool... beans.

One second, guys. Um, so... so...

So...
- Yeah?

So... making decisions isn't necessarily
my strong suit.

I know that, buddy.
You once had a panic attack

at a make-your-own-sundae bar.
- There were too many toppings.

And very early in the process
you had to commit to a chocolate palate

or a fruit palate,
and if you couldn't decide

you wound up with kiwi, Junior Mint, raisin,
and it just ruins everyone's night.

Chidi, I am so sorry.
I literally cannot choose for you.

This has to be your decision.
Buddy, you gotta trust me.

I would never place you
in a painful situation.

Right.

Um...
- ANGELIQUE: You ready, Chidi?

Here you go, Chidi.

One slice of Hawaiian,
straight out the oven for you.

I'm Denise.
Welcome to my pizza place.

Thanks, Denise.
- And here's one for you.

Have a nice day.

It's interesting that Hawaiian pizza
is so popular here.

Yeah, I guess a lot
of the residents here love it.

Kinda makes you wonder what type of pizza
they have in the Bad Place, huh?

THEY LAUGH

So, I can't believe you studied in Brisbane.

We must have just missed each other.
What was your thesis on?

Oh, gosh. It was so boring.

It was called, "Cultural Relativism
and Moral Absolutism"

"An Exploration of Values As Seen
Through The Works of Alain LeRoy"

BOTH:
"...Locke and Immanuel Kant."

Shut up. You read it?

No, but that pairing
is the most obvious pairing

to employ in a paper with that title

and I wanna read it so bad!
- SHE LAUGHS

What about Morocco?

You ever travel there?
- SHE SUCKS HER TEETH

No.

What about anywhere else?

You been anywhere else?
- No.

So, first impressions?

Anyone?
- I kinda wanna hear what Chidi thinks.

Well. Um, I mean, you're both

brilliant, accomplished women,
and Pedro, you're great too.

Just amazing people. I'm surrounded. Ah!

Ahh! But, if I had to say

who I sort of immediately bonded to
on a gut level

I think I would say that I...

kind of feel like my soulmate is...

Angel...

MICHAEL POUNDS ON WINDOW
- Wait, wait!

MICHAEL PANTS

There was a mistake in the calculations.

We had a four-hour time gap
in your profiles on May 10, 2003.

I corrected that day's events for all of you,
and ran the numbers again and...

and the final result proves definitively

that Pedro is Angelique's soulmate

and Chidi, your soulmate is Pevita.

That was close.
- CHIDI GROANS QUIETLY

Hey, you guys hadn't made a decision yet,
had you?

No! We did not.
No one said anything.

I didn't hear anything,
and I certainly didn't say anything.

That's for darn sure.
HE CHUCKLES

THEY LAUGH

CHIDI LAUGHS

THEY SIGH

OK. Alright.

See you later.

CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS

CHIDI:
This is fun. It's a fun party.

There's no question about it,
this is a fun situation.

Hey, you guys are here.

The fun continues, nay, increases!

You two look nice.

Thanks! And you look...

fine.

Would I say you look better
than anyone else here?

No, I wouldn't say that.

Do you look bad? No.

But good? Would I go as far as to say
that you look good?

Doubtful. Hey, wine.

Mmm. Uh...

Do I feel like red or white?
- Oh...

deep down in your heart of hearts

you probably already know
which one you want.

Why isn't anyone talking?

Janet, could you show me to the bar, please?
- Mm-hm!

Oh, hey!

Chidi, right? Denise.

We met earlier, remember?
- Oh, yeah, hi.

Are you limping?
- Yeah, I am.

Crazy story.

See, I was a trapeze artist
in an illegal circus in Bangladesh...

Angelique.
- Hey. How are you doing?

Oh, well, uh... Heh. You know...

My stomach's in knots,
I'm stress-grinding my teeth

and it feels like my soul is being
suffocated.

You know, just your standard
paradise stuff.

How about you?
- It's been a little uncomfortable.

I think Pedro maybe heard you say
that thing you were gonna say.

Oh, no. I'm so sorry. I...

but I have to ask.

Do you feel the way I feel?
- We can't talk about this.

Well, I know, but if the numbers
were that close, Angelique

I think I'm supposed to...
- Stop!

Please don't make this harder
than it already is, Chidi.

These are for you.

Hi. Is your name Chidi?

Yes?
- Ah! I knew you weren't a soup.

What?
- Listen to me very carefully.

My name is Eleanor Shellstrop.

We need to talk.

About what?

Just shut your mouth, smile at me,
and walk over here.

OK, you're definitely my least favourite
person I've met so far.

OK, I'm sorry,
this is really not a good time.

I'm right in the middle of something.
- Dude.

I'm guessing we have
about 30 seconds to talk

before someone notices.

When I got here, some robot lady
appeared out of thin air and gave me this.

You mean Janet?
- Oh, that's it! Janet.

JANET CHIMES
- Hi there.

Not now, Janet. Buzz off.

OK.
JANET CHIMES

Now, I have no memory of writing this

but it is my handwriting.

And that's your name, right?

So, for some reason, at some point,
I put this note into

that whatever-lady's robot mouth.

You already forgot her name?
- No, I didn't.

Her name is...

Janet.

JANET CHIMES: Hi there.
- ELEANOR GASPS

Fork off!
- OK.

JANET CHIMES
- From the second I got here

these nerds have been acting real weird

trying to get me drunk.

My soulmate ditches me
every time I try to talk to him

and this Zen-master guy gave me
this magic bracelet thing

and then he just ran away.

Something very strange is going on here,
and the only person I trust is me

and me told me to find you.

So, what's the deal?
What's happening? What have you got?

CHIDI STAMMERS
Uh... OK, I...

Look, I'm, I'm sorry, but none of this
means anything to me

and I've got my own problems to deal with.
I'm sorry, I can't help you.

Attention, everyone!
- GLASS TINKLES

Speech time!

I know you're probably not a magic wizard
trapped in an amulet but if you are

please get me out of this speech.

WHOOSH

DOOR OPENS

Tahani. Come on in.

You're in the Good Place, Tahani.

Ooh, what a surprise!

SHE LAUGHS
- MICHAEL CHUCKLES

But yes, I accept.

This is your soulmate, Tomas.

Now, Tomas was a doctor
with the International Rescue Alliance

and you raised money that ultimately

funded his medical missions.
It's just so perfect!

Wow.
- It's lovely to meet you, Tahani.

Charmed, I'm...

short.

I'm sorry, did I just say "short"?
I-I meant to say

"charmed, I'm sure," of course,
because I am charmed to meet you.

It's just an unfortunate Freudian short.
SHE GIGGLES

Shall we?

So, where did you attend medical short?

So, this is the living room as well as
the kitchen and the bedroom.

It's so... cosy.

THEY CHUCKLE

I feel like the walls are just hugging me.

MICHAEL LAUGHS
- Michael, I don't mean to be rude

but this is simply absurd.

Yes, thank you.
I didn't want to say anything but...

There's only two of us,
and we don't need all this space.

- "All this space"?
- Oh, of course.

You two humanitarians don't want
anything so extravagant.

I'll just get rid of the second floor.

WALLS CLATTER

OK, I'll let you two have some alone time.
I will see you at the party.

Well... certainly is quite quaint.

So, it's just... fun.

I daresay even quite charm... ahhh, no.

TOMAS:
What's the matter?

Sorry, it's just a self-portrait of my...
my sister.

Wonderful.
- Your sister is Kamilah Al-Jamil?

I used to play her music for my patients.

At times, it felt like Kamilah's songs
were curing the malaria for us.

Great.
SHE CHUCKLES

Well, I best be getting changed for tonight.
- Mm.

Can hardly wear a day dress
to an evening event.

Sounds good.
I'm ready whenever you are.

Is that what you're wearing?

Oh, yeah.

My years treating remote villagers
taught me to favour comfort over style.

But you should wear whatever you prefer.

Well, I mean...

as we are soulmates, perhaps I,
I should also...

dress down.

CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS

You alright, my dear?

Yes

just not used to dressing
like a plumberess.

Is that what you call a female plumber,
or is it a toilet sweep?

Or clog wench?

In any case, that's how I'm dressed.

My darling, you are in the Good Place. Relax.

Feel the breeze on your feet.
That's why Crocs have holes in them.

I'll get us a drink. Lower that
beautiful face for me, won't you?

Lower-lower-lower-lower-lower...
Mwah!

Tahani? You alright?

Michael, hello! Yes.

I'm having a splendid time.

Although, if I'm being honest

a few aspects of my day
have been sub-optimal.

Really? Like what?

Well... my house

is a bit small, which is fine,
it's just not what I'm used to and...

Tomas is lovely,
but we haven't really "clicked" yet

to use a mundane colloquialism

which I suppose I should do

now that I'm wearing cargo pants.

Tahani, it's very common
to experience adjustment pains.

But the system matched you and Tomas,
and the system is never wrong.

But guess what?
This is the Good Place.

If you want your house to be larger,
then just ask.

Do you want something this big?

Or maybe bigger, like the Taj Mahal.

I know, I know. How about a moon?

Would you like to live
on your own private moon?

No, no, no. My house is wonderful.

And really, it's so silly

to want a bigger house of all things,
here in paradise.

So no, no changes needed.

OK, alright.

But if you change your mind, just ask.

Because all the other residents
are very happy

so it'll give me plenty of time to deal with
whatever requests you make.

No demand is too...

what's the word? Oh, "frivolous".

OK? Wow...

That is rough.

ANGELIQUE: Please don't make this harder
than it already is, Chidi.

These are for you.
Drink up.

Oh, no, no, I...

MAN LAUGHS
Hey, hey, hey! Twinsies!

I'm sorry?
- Look!

cargo-pants buddies!

HE CHUCKLES
I bet we have a lot in common.

I was a garbage man in Winnipeg.
How about you?

OK.

Crocs also?

GLASS TINKLES

Speech time!

I know you're probably not a magic wizard
trapped in an amulet, but if you are

please get me out of this speech.

MICHAEL:
I've asked our top point-getter, here

to say a few words.
So, take it away, Eleanor!

CROWD APPLAUDS

The dictionary defines "best"

as being...
- TAHANI SLURS: Oh, God, boring!

I'd like to say a few words if nobody minds.

ELEANOR WHISPERS:
Thank you, wizard.

I am Tahani. Tahani am me.

And even though I wasn't
the "number one point-getter"

I just wanted to welcome you all
to the Neighbourhood.

You all look so beautiful tonight,
with your regular-sized pockets

regular-sized soulmates.

Oh, no offense, darling, wherever you are.

Probably somewhere down there.

Why don't you try to ease her off
the stage and take over yourself?

The point is, we're all good people, right?

We all did the right thing
whenever we could.

And that's why it's so nice to be here
among you in this...

massive house that I want.

I want this house. Give it.

SHE LAUGHS: No, I'm just kidding.
But really, give me the house.

Hey there, hot stuff.
Can I get you a cup of coffee?

Get your hands off me!

Oh, you think you're better than I am,
don't you, just cos you're wearing that.

Look at that terrible placement and angle.

Is this your first time ever wearing a sash?

Yeah, it is, but I think if we all just...

Well, give it to me then!

I got her off the stage.

WHOOSH

DOOR OPENS

Jianyu? Come on in.

Before we start,
I know you were a Buddhist monk

who kept a vow of silence.

Would you prefer to remain silent
here as well?

Every resident here in the Good Place
has a soulmate.

Now, some of the pairings are platonic,
some are romantic

but what you have
with your soulmate is unique.

You have a spiritual connection
that transcends the physical realm.

This person's gonna be your best bud.

MICHAEL CHUCKLES

Jianyu, let me introduce you
to your soulmate, Luang.

He is also a Buddhist monk

from the Lumbini zone of Nepal.

You and Luang share an identical
soul like binary stars

orbiting one another in a perfect,
reflective harmony.

You won't ever have a single moment
of loneliness

because you'll always be
right next to each other for eternity.

OK, I'm gonna let you two get acquainted.

I'm sure you have a lot to not talk about.
HE LAUGHS

Because... well, you get it, you get it.

HE SIGHS

Oh, sorry, I didn't see you.

Chidi? Are you Chidi?

Eleanor? What are you up to?
- Oh, hey there, Michael.

Just getting to know everyone

in the neighbourhood.
- MICHAEL: Oh.

Who was that mysterious...

MICHAEL:
Hello, you beautiful spirits.

Can I offer you two something to drink?

Janet!
- JANET CHIMES: Hi there.

This is Janet.

Now, she can get you literally
anything you want.

All you have to do is ask.

Of course, you two won't ever want anything,
because you're perfectly content.

Oh, I know.
How about something special?

Janet, two yak's milks, please.

MICHAEL WHISPERS:
Enjoy.

JANET CHIMES

JANET CHIMES

GLASS TINKLES
- Speech time!

If we all just...
- Well, give it to me then!

CROWD SHOUTS AND GASPS

I got her off the stage.

Tahani? Are you alright?
- Yes, fine.

Never better.
Top of my game, actually.

You'll have to excuse me,
cos I've got to go, so... Oh, look!

I've got some shrimp.

In one of my many, many cargo-pants pockets.

SHE SOBS

What the fork is happening?

WHOOSH

OK, here we go.

How's it going, boss-man?
- Enough chit-chat.

Is everything in place for version two?

Yup, I've thought of everything.

I won't let you down.

I was just hoping
that you could say a few words

at tonight's welcome party.

You know, just to introduce yourself.

How can I say no?
SHE LAUGHS

So... cosy.

I feel like the walls are just hugging me.
- MICHAEL LAUGHS

How about something special? Janet.
Two yak's milks, please.

Why isn't anyone talking?

Janet, could you show me to the bar, please?
- Mm-hmm.

Michael, may I please speak
with you privately?

Sure, sure.

It just feels like I used to be Real Eleanor

and now I'm Denise.

Denise is a good part,
with a great backstory.

You run the best pizza place
in the Neighbourhood.

You have a cat, and that's cool.

I took this job because it seemed

fun and different

and in the original version,
I got to break Chidi's heart

like, 20 times, and it was great.

I mean, he was miserable.

And now, Angelique gets to torture him?

Angelique is a hack.

I can act circles around her!
But I have nothing to do!

I am a Ferrari, OK?

And you don't keep a Ferrari in the garage.

I hear your concern. I do.

And I promise you

there is a great arc coming for Denise
the pizza lady

in about 80 years or so.
- SHE SIGHS

Chidi is going to accidentally kill your cat.

It's gonna give you a great chance to shine.

Can I just have something that makes me
stand out?

A mysterious past, or a limp!
I want a limp.

This is supposed to be the Good Place.
Why would...?

OK, I, no, I hear you.
I'll tell you what.

Go nuts. Limp your heart out.

Oh, hey! Chidi, right?

Hi.

Are you limping?

How's it going?
- SHE SIGHS

We're having some trouble with Eleanor.

She's not engaging in conversation,
she's not drinking.

Eleanor's not drinking?

She brought a flask in the car
during her driver's test!

OK, we need to keep things moving here.

I'm about to make her talk for an hour.

She'll definitely end up insulting somebody.

GLASS TINKLES
- Speech time!

We're all good people, right?

We all did the right thing
whenever we could.

I think if we all just...
- Well, give it to me then!

CROWD SHOUTS AND GASPS

Tahani? Are you alright?
- Yes, fine.

Never better.

You'll have to excuse me,
cos I've got to go.

CHIDI MURMURS
- TAHANI: Oh, look...

What the fork, man?
- I know that book.

Is that some kind of nerd pick-up line?

Because it's only kind of working.
- No.

The note you showed me before.

Alright, this is from a book called
"What We Owe to Each Other".

I used to teach it.

I was a professor of ethics
and moral philosophy.

Alright, brag much?
- No, I'm trying to help you.

Sorry. OK.

I have never seen you before in my life

but I think somehow
that we know each other.

That definitely sounded like
a pick-up line.

CHIDI SIGHS
- And I'm not not interested

but we need to figure this out first.

MICHAEL GROANS
- It's not that bad, right?

I mean, we got a drunken speech.
That's good.

No. It isn't.

Tahani gave the drunken speech
instead of Eleanor.

We can't build a chaos sequence
out of Tahani's speech

because she thinks she belongs here...

ding-dong.

OK, we can still salvage this.

Where's Eleanor?
- She's gone.

I can't find her anywhere.
- Maybe she left with Chidi?

He's gone too.
- What?

Or maybe she left with Jason.

You lost Jason?
How is that even possible?

Your only job is to stand next to that idiot.

I got distracted by the fire!

I love fire.

You know, my main job is
to burn people with fire.

What's up, guys?
- What are you doing here?

Why aren't you with Eleanor?

Oh, I told her I was going to the
gym again.

Why would you say that
in the middle of a party?

You told me too.
- No, I didn't.

You said if Eleanor tries to confess
that she doesn't belong here

find a reason to avoid her, like saying,
"I'm going to the gym"

so that's what I've been saying.

That was a suggestion
of the type of thing you could say!

Don't...

How many times have you specifically
told her you were going to the gym?

Five.

No, nine.

You dimwit!

Hey, man!

I was perfectly happy in my old job
in the twisting department.

People came in, and I twist them
until they snapped in half

and I move on to the next one.

But this job is weird!

THEY MURMUR
- It's all talk, no twisting.

So if you don't like the way I do it,
get somebody else.

I'm going to the gym!
- Fine. Yeah, you do that.

You go to the gym.

OK, we can still pull this off,
we just need to find the four humans. OK?

OK.

HE CHUCKLES
Right now.

Everyone in this room,
find those four humans!

Are you gonna talk, or just walk around
like a nerd

trying to get a personal best
on his Fitbit?

I'm sorry, I'm trying to process
a tremendous amount

of insane information.

I mean, you're not supposed to be here

but you and I clearly met here, somehow,
before now.

I mean... does that mean
that I'm not supposed to be here?

I don't know, dude.

Were you a good person on Earth?
- I... I think so.

I spent my life in pursuit
of fundamental truths about the uni...

HE GASPS
Oh, no!

I used almond milk in my coffee

even though I knew about
the negative environmental impact.

What?
- Eleanor, what do we do?

I don't know, dude!

But we better figure it out soon,
or we're doomed.

Uh, Janet?

JANET CHIMES
Hi there, Jianyu.

Hi, Janet!

Um, can I tell you something?
- Sure.

I'm not Jianyu.

And I'm not a silent monk.

My real name is Jason.
And I don't know what's going on.

I got here and Michael said I'm a monk

and he told me I was gonna
have a new best friend

and that we were gonna live in a yogurt.

A yurt.
- Oh, yeah, "yurt" for short.

I was psyched to meet
my new best friend

but he turned out to be this weird silent guy

that won't leave me alone.

I don't wanna go back to my yogurt.

Can I go to your house?

I don't have a house, Jason.
I live in a boundless void.

Can I go there?
- No.

It's a boundless void.

OK.

So, what you're saying is,
there are certain aspects of your existence

here in the Good Place
that are confusing for you

and you're searching for someplace
to go where you feel less lonely.

I know somewhere you could go.

Why did you do that?

Because you were nice to me.
You're my friend.

OK!

JASON:
OK!

OK, so, if we got all the way
to Scanlon

we must have been studying
very intensely for a very long time.

Or, you grabbed a random book of mine
and just tore a page out.

I'm gonna be honest,
that sounds more like me.

KNOCK AT THE DOOR

Ah!

Eleanor and Chidi.
What a pleasant surprise.

I'm so happy you two have met.

I'm just going door-to-door,
apologising for the commotion

earlier tonight.
- Ah.

The first night in the afterlife
can be a little overwhelming.

Don't worry about us, Michael.
We are doing just fine.

Oh, good, good.
Glad to hear that.

Well, it's getting late.

Chidi, allow me to escort you
back to your house.

Um...
- Uh, hello, all.

Sorry for the late hour, Eleanor.

I wanted to stop by
and give you back your sash.

That's OK.
You can just keep it.

No! I don't deserve it.

I made a complete fool
of myself tonight.

I interrupted your big speech,
badly stained my cargo pants

which, I have to admit,
are quite comfortable.

Oh, God, what's happened to me?

I'm praising off-the-rack separates!

Tahani, please. It's late.

I think what we should do is...
- No.

Look, ever since I got here,
it feels like something's been off.

Tahani. There you are.
I've been worried sick about you.

ELEANOR:
That's her soulmate?

Is there a second one of him

that stands on his shoulders?
- PEVITA: Chidi!

There you are.
I've been worried sick about you.

OK, alright, everybody.

Now we are really imposing
on Eleanor here.

Chidi, let's everybody take off...
- Hey, Eleanor.

This person would like to speak
with you privately. About something.

Oh, really?
- Yep.

Bye!
- JANET CHIMES

This is the wise monk
who gave me the magic amulet.

I gotta figure out what it means.

Could be the key to this entire mystery.

Luang, perfect, uh...

Why don't you take Jianyu
back to your yurt right away?

Homie, no!

I'm not spending another second
with this loser.

You said he was gonna be my best friend,
but he is not.

My best friend from Jacksonville
was named Pillboi and he was dope!

We would talk together, get high together,
throw old batteries at drones together.

But this guy can't hold a camel to Pillboi.

OK, I no longer think he's a wise monk

and I'm pretty sure
this is just a piece of garbage.

Babe, there you are. I've been worried...
- Let me stop you.

Can I guess?

You've been "worried sick" about me.

I'm headed to the gym.

Sure, why not?
- I'm quite confused.

Let me explain, gorgeous.
I don't know what this place is

but it is certainly not the Good Place.

Michael is forking with us.

Like a prank show?
- Yeah, like a prank show.

Except according to this note,
it's a prank show

we've all been on before.

What note?
- Apparently, I wrote myself a note

and stuck it in that Jackie lady's mouth.

Janet. Her name is Janet.
- Oh, right, Janet.

JANET CHIMES: Hi there.
- Hi Janet!

Hi Jason.
MICHAEL CACKLES

Are you kidding me?

Eleanor Shellstrop, you sneaky little

so-and-so.
That was some very quick thinking.

I'm extremely impressed.

And to be honest, I'm relieved.

At least there's an explanation
for why this all went south so fast.

But you're not gonna be so lucky next time.

Next time?
- What?

HE LAUGHS: Yeah.
- He's gonna do it again!

That's not gonna work this time, dummy.

OK, excuse me.
I'm sorry, but this is unacceptable.

I demand to speak to your superior.
- I am so sorry, madam.

Please forgive me.
- HE CLICKS HIS FINGERS

Well, as humans like to say,
third time's the charm, right?

CROWD GRUMBLES

I take full responsibility
for the false start.

But I assure you all,
there is no note this time.

I'll prove it to you. Janet!

JANET CHIMES
- Hi there.

Hi, Janet.
Open your mouth please.

Thank you.

See, no notes.

No clues or loopholes, nothing in there!

Thank you, Janet.

JANET CHIMES
- So, let's all just pretend

the last attempt never even happened.

Questions?
- Maybe it's none of our business

but did you tell Shawn what happened?
- Yes, I did.

And he completely understood.

As a matter of fact, he found the whole thing
kind of funny.

But he was very supportive

and he says he's very excited
for us to get going again.

So, anyone else?

Anybody? No?

Then let's get out there
and make some miseries!

Testing, one, two, three.

PHONE RINGS

Hey there, boss-man.

You were supposed to call me
this morning, give me an update.

Oh.
HE LAUGHS

Right, sorry. Yeah, it's just the, uh...

the chaos sequence was going so well

better than the first time, in my opinion.

Eleanor got completely drunk last night.

She talked for, like, an hour.

You know, even flashed somebody,
so we had a lot to work with.

So, attempt number two is on track so far?
- Oh, smooth as silk.

Everything's great.
- TORTURED SCREAMS

Oh! Sounds like everything's going well
back there too.

We're trying out the new butthole spiders.

Ah!
- They're enormous.

You know, good old-fashioned torture,
the way it's supposed to be.

Good luck with attempt number two.

And remember, there will be no
attempt number three.

Eleanor.
Come on in.
