Filching from Nietzsche, scriptwriters are lazy bums.

[ChainOfFools]

Either that or they were aware of what they were doing and left the extreme irony of what they chose to repeat as a kind of Easter egg for anyone familiar with the source.

Just kidding, they're lazy.

Pieces of art are repurposed all the time, I am sure Nietzsche took it from somebody living even further back in the past.

Ecclesiastes 1:9

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”

[B1FF_PSUVM]

Love Ecclesiastes, hands down the best bit of poetry in The Book.

Also "Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh" way before it exponentiated to the moon ...

Honourable mention to "For everything there is a season", as sung by The Byrds.

“What happens once will never happen again. What happens twice will surely happen a third time.”

The eternal return of the same :)

[antonvs]

By that logic Nietzsche was also a lazy bum.
