Hey, hey, Mikey, can I-can I ask you something? I feel bad for making Janet's life more chaotic and unpredictable, so...here's my idea to make it up to her: me and a hundred Janet-Babies do a giant flash mob, just total unpredictable chaos all around her. Great idea, right?
Jason, Jason, Jason, Jason, Jason.
Mmm-hmm?
Sorry, I put a little cheat code in the neighborhood where if I say your name five times, my headache goes away. Do you know why I forced you to act like a monk in the original neighborhood?
Does it have to do with the TV show "Monk"?
No. It's because you have no control over your own impulses. You think every problem can be solved with a Molotov cocktail or slashing somebody's tires or plunging Derek. So being a monk was torture for you. The only way for you to repair your relationship with Janet is to give her some space. Show her you can control your impulses.
So you're saying wanting to do something isn't a good reason to immediately do it.
Yeah.
Man...I wish someone had taught me this on Earth.
People tried. Mostly judges.
