Am I a good person? Underneath all these layers (The layers of an onion) [Like Shrek, full of layers] -pretty sure the onion quote is dead- I don't want you to remove my layers to find a person that isn't the same on the outside. Onions are perfect because with each layer they look exactly alike. If you took me apart we'd find the person I think you want me to be. (If you took me apart you'd be a murderer) [Don't try to find out, organs don't talk.] -The mess would be such a hassle- I wish someone could tell me. It's all in the way, these layers they're all that we have.

Bojack, Tell me.

I've been quoting the onions almost my entire life, I don't know if that's how great the line is or how much I haven't grown. Could be both. Pro tip: turn on a fan when cutting onions makes the process a whole lot easier.
