Eleanor Shellstrop : It took me a while to figure it out, but just now as we were all fighting, yelling at each other and each one of us demanding we should go to the Bad Place, I thought to myself, "Man, this is torture." And then it hit me: they're never gonna call a train to take us to the Bad Place. They can't... because we're already here. *This* is the Bad Place.

[laughter; a whiteboard is rolled in]
Michael : I present to you the perfect recipe for my proposed experiment: four people perfectly suited to make each other miserable. I am going to design an afterlife where they torture each other.
Shawn : We've tried this. Humans are very reticent to torture each other. Even getting them to do simple things, like pulling out each other's teeth, is like... I can't think of the right analogy.
