Quotes 

• [final lines] 

  BoJack Horseman : 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. You're obviously a better writer than I am. And... And I don't... actually even care what the world thinks about me anymore. 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, if you think that.

  [sighs] 

  BoJack Horseman : Um, I-I guess my question is do you... do you think it's too late for me?

  Diane Nguyen : What?

  BoJack Horseman : I mean a-a-a-a-a-a-am I just doomed to be the person that I am? Th-The person in that book? I mean i-it's not too late for me, is it? It's not too late? Diane, I need you to tell me it's not too late.

  Diane Nguyen : BoJack, I...

  BoJack Horseman : I-I-I-I need you to tell me that I'm a good person. I know that I can be selfish and narcissistic and self-destructive, but underneath all that, deep down, I'm a good person, and I need you to tell me that I'm good. Diane? Tell me, please, Diane. Tell me that I'm good.

  [a long stretch of silence pans out, subtly accompanied by the sounds of ocean waves and BoJack's imaginary daughter, Harper, giggling in the background] 

  Audience Member : Hey, aren't you the horse from "Horsin' Around"?
