Beth: Dad? I feel like I’ve spent my life pretending you’re a great guy and trying to be like you, and the ugly truth has always been…
Rick: That I’m not that great a guy and you’re exactly like me.
Beth: Am I evil?
Rick: Worse. You’re smart. When you know nothing matters, the universe is yours, and I’ve never met a universe that was into it. The universe is basically an animal. It grazes on the ordinary. It creates infinite idiots just to eat them, not unlike your friend Timmy.
Beth: Tommy.
Rick: Yeah, it hardly matters now, sweetie. You know, smart people get a chance to climb on top, take reality for a ride, but it’ll never stop trying to throw you, and eventually, it will. There’s no other way off.
Beth: Dad, I’m out of excuses to not be who I am. So who am I? What do I do?
Rick: My advice… Take off. Put a saddle on your universe. Let it kick itself out.
