Zoe or Zelda Bojack Horseman Episode 4 season 1 Various characters. Mr. Peanut butter: Hey, BoJack, settle a bet. - Are you a Zoe or a Zelda? – BoJack: Don't know what that means. Mr. Peanutbutter: Well, I was talking to Wayne. BoJack: - Who's Wayne? Wayne: - I'm Wayne. Mr. Peanutbutter: Wayne's writing an article about me for BuzzFeed. BuzzFeed? What'll they think of next? Diane: Fun fact: Wayne is also my ex-boyfriend. BoJack: ha! You're funny. Mr. Peanutbutter: Pretty cool, eh, BoJack? Diane's writing a book about you, Wayne's writing an article about me. We're the same! BoJack: How could you think that that's the same? My book will be in libraries for hundreds of years. Your BuzzFeed article will be crammed between an animated GIF of a cat falling asleep and a list of fun facts about Legally Blonde. Mr. Peanut butter: - Ha! Classic Zoe. BoJack: - I still don't know what that means. Wayne: Well, are you familiar with Mr. Peanutbutter's House? BoJack: Do you mean his sitcom that coincidentally had the exact same premise as my sitcom? Wayne: Not the exact same. Mr.Peanutbutter's House featured a pair of twins, Zoe and Zelda. Zelda was the sunny, fun-loving extrovert. Zelda:- Look at my pumpkin, Mr. Peanutbutter. Mr. Peanutbutter: - Pretty smile, Zelly-belly. Public: Aww Wayne: Whereas Zoe was the smart, cynical introvert. Zoe: My pumpkin's throwing up because Halloween encourages excessive consumption of refined sugar at a time when obesity rates are sky high. Plus, Halloween costumes are a gateway to casual racism. Mr. Peanu butter: Why don't I keep the knife, Zobo? SONG: Who's that dog? Mr. Peanutbutter Knick-knack, paddywhack Give a dog a bone
Wayne:Now, was the show's acting ham-fisted and the writing moronic? – Mr. Peanutbutter: Nn-no? – Wayne: Yes, but the Zoe/Zelda paradigm rang true. I believe everyone's either a Zoe or a Zelda. For example, Nixon was a Zoe and Kennedy, a Zelda. Al Gore, Zoe. George W. Bush, total Zelda. It's R2-D2 and C-3PO, Zooey and Emily Deschanel. Todd:So Zooey's a Zoe? Wayne: No, Zooey's a Zelda. Emily's the Zoe. Todd: What a crazy world. Mr. Peanutbutter: - So which one are you, BoJack? – BoJack: I think I'm above this. Mr. Peanut butter: Said the Zoe. Todd: Well, I think I'm a Zelda. BoJack: Or maybe you're the third kind of person, whose only function is to drain the energy and life force - from his host organism. Diane:- Come on, BoJack. Todd: Nah, he's right. I'm pretty much worthless. BoJack: See? You say something to someone enough times, and eventually, he internalizes it. The system works. Todd:I don't have a job, I don't have any prospects. I probably won't ever finish the rock opera I'm working on. BoJack: What? Since when are you working on a rock opera? Oh, no. Why'd I ask that? Todd: Basically, it's Tommy by way of Cirque du Soleil set in space, with heavy erotic overtones, and the gripping psychodrama of a thriller with plenty of heart and more than a little humor. I call it Newtopia Rising, Book 1: - The Search for a New Utopia. Mr. Peanutbutter: - Book 1? You've got me thinking sequel here. BoJack:Ugh…
