- 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"?

I can confidently say that this was a great "psychedelic" episode with clever hallucinations that do a good job at showing the depth of BoJack's character and making the viewers sympathize with him even more and the episode had an interesting and funny overall plot.
The ending of the episode is arguably even better than the other parts of it because it moves BoJack's character further by a lot and in my opinion makes him even more relatable than he already was.
This episode doesn't deserve a rating below an 8.
