Scene 1

Michael : Eleanor? Come on in. Hi, Eleanor. I'm Michael. How are you today?

Eleanor : I'm great. Thanks for asking. Oh, one question. Where am I? Who are you? And what's going on?

Michael : Right, so, you, Eleanor Shellstrop, are dead. Your life on Earth has ended, and you are now in the next phase of your existence in the universe.

Eleanor : Cool. Cool. I have some questions.

Michael : Thought you might.

Eleanor : How did I die? I don't remember.

Michael : Yes, um, in cases of traumatic or embarrassing deaths, we erase the memory to allow for a peaceful transition.

Eleanor : Okay, that's I get it, thank you.

Michael : Oh, okay, sorry.

Eleanor : Um, so who was right? I mean about all of this?

Michael : Well, let's see. Hindus are a little bit right, Muslims a little bit. Jews, Christians, Buddhists, every religion guessed about 5%.

Eleanor : So. Maybe my biggest question. Am I... I mean, is this... Or...

Michael : Well, it's not the heaven or hell idea that you were raised on. But generally speaking, in the afterlife, there's a Good Place and there's a Bad Place. You're in the Good Place.

Michael : You're okay, Eleanor. You're in the Good Place.
