Secretariat : The weak breeze whispers nothing/The water screams sublime/His feet shift, teeter-totter/Deep breath, stand back, it's time/Toes untouch the overpass/Soon he's water bound/Eyes locked shut but peek to see/The view from halfway down
[audience claps and the spotlight appears on the black corridor]
Secretariat : I'm not done! Hold on, I'm not done. I'm not done.
Secretariat : A little wind, a summer sun/A river rich and regal/A flood of fond endorphins/Brings a calm that knows no equal/You're flying now/You see things much more clear than from the ground/It's all okay, it would be/Were you not now halfway down
[the light comes onto the black corridor again, closer this time. Secretariat's voice becomes more agitated]
Secretariat : Thrash to break from gravity/What now could slow the drop/All I'd give for toes to touch/The safety back at top
[the black corridor is now right behind him]
Secretariat : I change my mind! I change my mind! I don't wanna...
Herb Kazzaz : [soothingly] It's okay.
Secretariat : [the black corridor disappears for a minute. Secretariat continues] But this is it, the deed is done/Silence drowns the sound/Before I leaped I should've seen/The view from halfway down/
[the black corridor is now right behind him]
Secretariat : No!/I really should've thought about/The view from halfway down!
Herb Kazzaz : Find your peace, big guy. Find it.
Secretariat : [with fear in his voice] I wish I could've known about/The view from halfway down!

[last lines]
Diane Nguyen : It's too late. What's done is done.
BoJack Horseman : No.
Diane Nguyen : There's nothing I can do, BoJack. I'm not real. None of this is.
BoJack Horseman : So, what do I do now?
Diane Nguyen : BoJack, it doesn't matter.
BoJack Horseman : Well, if it doesn't matter, can I stay on the phone with you at least?
Diane Nguyen : Okay.
BoJack Horseman : How was your day?
Diane Nguyen : Good.
BoJack Horseman : Yeah?
Diane Nguyen : Yeah. My day was good.

BoJack Horseman : Is it terrifying?
Herb Kazzaz : No. I don't think so. It's the way it is, you know? Everything must come to an end, the drip finally stops.
BoJack Horseman : See you on the other side.
Herb Kazzaz : Oh, Bojack, no, there is no other side. This is it.
