- Quotes
Tom Jumbo-Grumbo: Well, BoJack, surely, even you would agree that the troops are heroes.
BoJack Horseman: I don't agree to that. Maybe some of the troops are heroes but not automatically, I'm sure a lot of the troops are jerks; Most people are jerks already, and it's not like giving a jerk a gun and telling him it's O.K. to kill people suddenly turns that jerk into a hero.
