BoJack Horseman S06E16 I'm glad I knew you, too.

I'm glad I lived in LA,
but I'm not nostalgic for it.

I'm glad I knew Mr. Peanutbutter,

- even though he's not in my life anymore.
- Yeah?

I think there are people that help you
become the person that you end up being,

and you can be grateful for them

even if they were never
meant to be in your life forever.

I'm glad I knew you, too.

"Knew," huh?

Mm.

Hey, wouldn't it be funny

if this night was the last time
we ever talked to each other?

- Um, anyway, I...
- I need to tell you...

No. You don't have to...
You don't owe me anything.

No, I need to tell you: Thank you.

And it's going to be okay.

And I'm sorry.

And... [softly] thank you.

I love this scene so much. It helps me have personal clarity in my life knowing that some people that even though I love very much just won’t be around anymore. And that’s okay.

[pinkteea]

Me and my ex loved this show, and even before we broke up this was my favorite quote. Before then I'd never felt or understood what real loss was. I lost myself for a while, and a lot of things I'd believed in lost meaning. Hearing this now, It helps me remember that people come and go, and you can still have love for them and wish them the best while making room for new people in your life.

I used to think this was a not a happy ending that i wanted, but it's so realistic that Diane didn't want to talk to Bojack anymore and him being alive in the end is truly a happy ending.

“Even if they weren’t meant to be in your life forever.”

Dude this like hit me real hard, I had many father figures, there was a time where my mom would date a lot of really fucked up guys, and that line comforts me while also terrifies me in such a strange unexplainable way. I always felt because she hated them or regretted being with them I was suppose to as well, and so I did, and so I blamed so much of my problems on them. Although, to be honest dude I found comfort in that hate, in that trauma. I am much better now, but back then I had a real fucked way of thinking. Bojack Horseman helped me realize that I was allowed to be grateful for the times I had, for the times I missed and for those who made a positive mark in my life, even if they did leave a stain of bitterness, some still done more good than bad to me. It’s strange bro.

[Don_Day]

A friend cut me off without giving me this. Even if it's not from her, i still needed to hear that again. I don't know what made the bridge collapse, but at least diane gave me some form of catharsis.

[sophieamandaleitontoomey]

"And it's going to be okay..."

I don't know why but...that always hurts the most.

[MayDubz]

It's so difficult to let go of people who you feel so close to, but sometimes it's harder to try and hold onto them, who they were, and what they really are.

[NobleCloverVA]

I had an online friend who was really cool and sweet. We'd chat whenever we could about our special interests. Unfortunately, the friendship started fizzling away after five years, and recently, we said our goodbyes. I wish her all the best in life.

[MichaelSunny]

As a man in his 30s this makes me sad but grateful for some of my old friends even if I will never see them again

[lukethelegend]

Those last two words encapsulate my entire stance on BoJack horseman. I loved it, it wasn’t meant to be in my life forever, and that’s okay. You helped me understand myself, get through mental health issues, get through change. More than anything, you provided me something I knew I’d love to watch every night. Thank you.

[JenniJemm]

In 2020, I had to cut off contact with 2 people in my life. One was my ex who refused to get help with his drinking and became an abusive shell of his former self. The other, was my best friend from age 8. She stopped taking her bipolar meds, became horrendously manipulative, faked suicide attempts to "test" her friends to see if we cared about her (messing up her liver in the process) and formed a codependent relationship with her extremely toxic mother (who she had cut off years before and did better without).

When I think of them, I think of this clip.

[EKho-kotv]

I’m glad someone that I looked up to cut me off of her life for good. I didn’t realize how awful I was. I couldn’t thank her enough to give me a reality check. I love this scene so much.

[cadenmc]

The Mr. Blue song makes me teary-eyed whenever I hear it now because of this scene. I want to cry just thinking about it.

[jw-mpyp]

What hurts so much about this scene is that this final conversation with Diane is the last of a series of goodbyes from all of the major people in Bojack's life over those six years.
spoiler warning
Mr. Peanutbutter he was never close with, Todd is still a good friend but decided during the 2nd interview to not make Bojack a part of his life anymore, PC, also still a good friend, didn't invite him to the friends/family wedding and made it clear their professional relationship was over, and of course Bojack's best friend Diane wants to start a new chapter completely separate from Bojack after that voicemail. We see the growth of all of these friendships over the seasons, and while Bojack got what he had coming, it still hurts to see _all of them_ built up just to be finalized at the end.
There's a profound sense of understanding accompanying everyone saying their goodbyes, though. That time spent together was valuable. One could say that it was nice while it lasted. And so it's okay that these things end, and knowing that life can change at any moment, it's possible that things change for them down the line as well. Maybe Bojack and Diane eventually decide to have a yearly phone call, maybe they go back to being best friends after many years, and most likely they never talk to each other again. And all of that is okay, because they're happy with it being over.
After all, it is a pretty nice night.

this is almost exactly what my girlfriend well now ex said to me a few days ago, i’ve never felt loss where someone could still be in my life but chooses not to and it hurts a lot. i feel lost because she was the first person i had ever opened up to and become emotionally vulnerable infront of.

[ChickenWithAHat]

I had this friend that loved bojack
I met him in highschool and I spent my best years with him, my funniest stories and my fondest memories come from those years
But at the end, the worst in me and him was too much to handle
It's funny that we actually didn't talk about the show that much, at least, not as much as we did with other things
I never really get what diane tried to say in this scene but now that me and my friend have drift apart, I get it
I kinda wish I didn't, I miss him everyday
But such is life

[TheAllcreatorLiveArchives]

I like the attention to detail, how Bojack hastily repeats "you don't know me" because he realizes he was stupid he even said it in the first place. Because she never really knew Bojack but she thought she did. Her experience with him was bad, but in a good way. She learned about bad people from Bojack, while Bojack might not like that idea, the thing is that he know's it's true. That's why she says thank you twice, once for the knowledge and again for being ok with it. There are a lot of bad people in the world who don't realize it. Bojack understanding that is in a small way good. He's ok with being locked away because he knows he is too far gone.

Bojack Horseman is a tragic show because you are watching a man performing a balancing act threw out his whole life. Him being incarcerated is the best outcome for everyone, even him.

[DreamsDeemsFF]

Saw this after breaking contact with a friend that has been on my side since years. He really helped me and I hope I could've helped him more too.

[michellegodwin]

This is the last time they ever talked to each other. We can't know that, obviously. But we know that.

[berenya]

i can’t get this scene out of my head. too relatable
