1
00:00:00,126 --> 00:00:03,527
<i>Now the story of a wealthy family</i>
<i>who lost everything...</i>

2
00:00:03,629 --> 00:00:05,620
<i>and the one son</i>
<i>who had no choice...</i>

3
00:00:05,731 --> 00:00:07,722
<i>but to keep them all together.</i>

4
00:00:13,272 --> 00:00:14,967
<i>It's</i> Arrested Development.

5
00:00:17,143 --> 00:00:19,634
<i>George Michael</i>
<i>was getting ready for school...</i>

6
00:00:19,745 --> 00:00:22,805
<i>when he came across a box</i>
<i>oflove letters he'd written...</i>

7
00:00:22,915 --> 00:00:26,476
<i>but never sent</i>
<i>to his cousin Maeby.</i>

8
00:00:26,585 --> 00:00:29,315
<i>One letter titled "If You Weren't My Cousin,"</i>

9
00:00:29,421 --> 00:00:31,321
<i>was particularly incriminating.</i>

10
00:00:31,423 --> 00:00:33,391
Hey, pal, you want a ride to school?

11
00:00:33,492 --> 00:00:35,892
Um, no. Actually, I'm-

12
00:00:35,995 --> 00:00:38,156
I'm riding with the Veals, Ann's parents.

13
00:00:38,264 --> 00:00:41,791
You don't need to be penned up with them.
I'll drive you both. We'll take the stairs.

14
00:00:41,901 --> 00:00:44,597
<i>Right. Here's the thing though.</i>
<i>It's kind of cramped in there.</i>

15
00:00:44,703 --> 00:00:48,070
<i>Plus, a lot ofkids are still talking about when</i>
<i>you took down that homecoming banner.</i>

16
00:00:49,775 --> 00:00:52,243
Listen, are you embarrassed
to be seen in that car?

17
00:00:52,344 --> 00:00:54,505
It's not a car. But- But, no.

18
00:00:56,448 --> 00:00:59,042
I've got to get a new car.

19
00:00:59,151 --> 00:01:02,052
<i>George Michael decided</i>
<i>to hide the love letters in the attic...</i>

20
00:01:02,154 --> 00:01:04,054
<i>although Maeby</i>
<i>had her own problems.</i>

21
00:01:04,156 --> 00:01:06,056
<i>After lying about her age...</i>

22
00:01:06,158 --> 00:01:09,992
<i>she had conned her way into a job</i>
<i>as a movie studio executive.</i>

23
00:01:10,095 --> 00:01:13,360
Did you get the stack of scripts that I sent you?
'Cause you certainly look well-rested.

24
00:01:13,465 --> 00:01:16,525
- Marry me.
- Ha! I need your notes on those tomorrow.

25
00:01:16,635 --> 00:01:19,263
- Wanna have a drink?
- Yeah. Why don't we ask your wife
to come with us?

26
00:01:19,371 --> 00:01:21,532
Okay, then.
I'll see you tomorrow.

27
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,404
<i>And downstairs, Buster paid a visit.</i>

28
00:01:24,510 --> 00:01:27,775
- Hey, Brother. I need a favor.
- Of course you do.

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,371
I'm on furlough this week, and
everybody's out dancing with their girl...

30
00:01:30,482 --> 00:01:33,383
- and I'm home sitting with Mom.
- Mom doesn't wanna go dancing?

31
00:01:33,485 --> 00:01:36,386
I think the age difference
is really starting to catch up to us.

32
00:01:36,488 --> 00:01:39,048
Maybe it's time you got out there
and started meeting people, you know?

33
00:01:39,158 --> 00:01:42,457
Meetin' women. Meetin' women
who didn't give birth to you.

34
00:01:42,561 --> 00:01:47,055
- Maybe you could go with me.
- Not really what I meant-
I have a very busy schedule now.

35
00:01:47,166 --> 00:01:51,830
<i>My schedule, however, is as open</i>
<i>as my relationship with my wife.</i>

36
00:01:51,937 --> 00:01:54,599
So why don't we pair up?

37
00:01:54,707 --> 00:01:56,572
<i>And-And hit the town together.</i>

38
00:01:56,675 --> 00:01:58,666
- Oh.
- I'll be your wingman.

39
00:01:58,777 --> 00:02:03,077
Even if it means
me taking a chubby, I will suck it up.

40
00:02:03,182 --> 00:02:05,377
Boy, that's enough
family stuff for today.

41
00:02:05,484 --> 00:02:08,510
<i>That's right, Michael.</i>
<i>Guess whojust got fired.</i>

42
00:02:08,621 --> 00:02:11,852
<i>Gob was recently hired</i>
<i>by the Bluth Company's rival...</i>

43
00:02:11,957 --> 00:02:13,857
<i>Sitwell Enterprises.</i>

44
00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:17,952
- <i>Although he started off well</i>-
- Fifty-two percent of the country is single.

45
00:02:18,063 --> 00:02:20,759
That's a market that's been
dominated by apartment rentals.

46
00:02:20,866 --> 00:02:25,530
<i>Let's take some of that market.</i>
<i>I call it Single City.</i>

47
00:02:25,638 --> 00:02:27,765
<i>His ideas failed to evolve.</i>

48
00:02:27,873 --> 00:02:30,774
It's like, "Hey, you wanna
go down to the whirlpool?"

49
00:02:30,876 --> 00:02:33,436
"Yeah. I don't have a husband."
I call it Swing City.

50
00:02:33,545 --> 00:02:36,207
Let's get into some new
areas, if you don't mind.

51
00:02:36,315 --> 00:02:39,614
<i>But Gob continued</i>
<i>to fine-tune his first one.</i>

52
00:02:39,718 --> 00:02:41,618
How do we filter out the teases?

53
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,711
We don't let them in.

54
00:02:43,822 --> 00:02:45,722
This goes for the guys too...

55
00:02:45,824 --> 00:02:47,849
because sometimes the guys
are tapped out.

56
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,556
But check your lease, man,
because you're livin' in- City.

57
00:02:52,665 --> 00:02:54,633
- You're fired.
- <i>So get this.</i>

58
00:02:54,733 --> 00:02:56,428
I took his dress eyebrows.

59
00:02:56,535 --> 00:02:59,800
<i>Sitwell suffered from a disease</i>
<i>that rendered him completely hairless.</i>

60
00:02:59,905 --> 00:03:02,135
He's not gonna be happy about that.

61
00:03:02,241 --> 00:03:05,176
No, especially when he goes to the opera
with two mustaches on his forehead.

62
00:03:05,277 --> 00:03:08,303
Oh, but the good news is:
I'm coming back to the Bluth Company.

63
00:03:08,414 --> 00:03:11,975
Gob, we're gettin' all jammed up here, okay?

64
00:03:12,084 --> 00:03:14,678
The only reason that you were president
was to appease the board.

65
00:03:14,787 --> 00:03:16,687
They've been appeased.
I got the job.

66
00:03:16,789 --> 00:03:21,055
No, I don't need to be president.
I just liked having an office, a title.

67
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,923
- Sure.
- Paycheck.

68
00:03:23,028 --> 00:03:26,486
Also I need a company car.
You do have to match Sitwell there.

69
00:03:26,598 --> 00:03:28,361
Hang on. He gave you
a company car?

70
00:03:28,467 --> 00:03:31,163
Yeah. And it was way better than any
of the company cars Dad ever gave me.

71
00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:33,738
- Yeah, right.
- I mean, the Camaro was okay.

72
00:03:35,607 --> 00:03:38,337
Are you serious?
Dad gave you the Camaro?

73
00:03:38,444 --> 00:03:41,379
I thought you won that
on <i>Card Sharks.</i>

74
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:46,076
Michael, I was never on <i>Card Sharks.</i>
Dad told us not to tell you.

75
00:03:46,185 --> 00:03:48,619
<i>Michael decided to confront his father...</i>

76
00:03:48,721 --> 00:03:51,713
<i>who'd been living in the attic</i>
<i>since he'd escaped from prison.</i>

77
00:03:51,824 --> 00:03:54,384
- Dad?
- Oh, thank God you're here.

78
00:03:54,493 --> 00:03:56,961
I'm going crazy
with the boredom, Michael.

79
00:03:57,062 --> 00:04:00,122
At least in prison, we had knife fights,
and we had movie night.

80
00:04:00,232 --> 00:04:04,896
And once both. Those men did not enjoy <i>Soapdish.</i>
I think you have to know that world.

81
00:04:05,003 --> 00:04:08,939
Yeah, listen, did you buy a company car
for everyone in the family except me?

82
00:04:09,041 --> 00:04:11,202
Well, according to the books,
I gave you four.

83
00:04:11,310 --> 00:04:13,972
I'm serious. I'm driving
a staircase, for God's sake.

84
00:04:14,079 --> 00:04:16,070
It smells like gas.
I get hop-ons.

85
00:04:16,181 --> 00:04:19,116
- Well, of course you're gonna get hop-ons.
- I pull down banners, all right?

86
00:04:19,218 --> 00:04:22,415
And most importantly, Dad,
my son does not like to be seen in it.

87
00:04:22,521 --> 00:04:24,751
But he likes being seen with that girl.

88
00:04:24,857 --> 00:04:27,223
- It makes no sense, I know.
- It doesn't.

89
00:04:27,326 --> 00:04:29,726
I never gave you a-a company car.

90
00:04:29,828 --> 00:04:32,262
No, I gave you something
far more important.

91
00:04:32,364 --> 00:04:35,094
I gave you company, which, apparently,
you don't want to give to me.

92
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,363
- You're not listening to me.
I'd love to sit and chat, but...
- I'm lonely up here.

93
00:04:38,470 --> 00:04:41,371
I've got to get an early start.
I'm expecting headwinds on the stair car.

94
00:04:41,473 --> 00:04:45,341
You see anybody here? You could bring me
a book. Pop-Pop gets a Grisham?

95
00:04:45,444 --> 00:04:48,504
So you take your mom to work
every day? Bummer.

96
00:04:48,614 --> 00:04:52,141
Moms are such a pain in the ass, huh?
It's like "Die already!"

97
00:04:52,251 --> 00:04:54,617
- I love my mother.
- Huh?

98
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,416
She's one of the two most
important people in my life.

99
00:04:57,523 --> 00:04:59,423
You know, she and Quincy.

100
00:04:59,525 --> 00:05:02,756
<i>A spokesman</i>
<i>for Mr. Jones denies they've ever met...</i>

101
00:05:02,861 --> 00:05:07,821
<i>although he could not explain the six</i>
<i>signed gold records in Starla's apartment.</i>

102
00:05:07,933 --> 00:05:10,959
I could never be with a man
who doesn't love his mother.

103
00:05:11,069 --> 00:05:12,934
- Oh.
- Wow.

104
00:05:13,038 --> 00:05:16,804
So, Michael, listen. I'm here
to convince you to hire me back.

105
00:05:16,909 --> 00:05:20,504
I'm an ideas man, Michael. I think
I proved that with- Mountain.

106
00:05:20,612 --> 00:05:22,512
Listen, I want this, Michael.

107
00:05:22,614 --> 00:05:24,809
I'm gonna prove to you that
I'm worthy of rehiring...

108
00:05:24,917 --> 00:05:27,886
if it takes every ounce of
determination that I've got.

109
00:05:29,388 --> 00:05:31,288
Where are you going?

110
00:05:31,390 --> 00:05:33,950
Did you want me
to stay and do that?

111
00:05:37,129 --> 00:05:40,292
- Barry.
- Good news and even better news.

112
00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:42,299
Your company's stock is unfrozen...

113
00:05:42,401 --> 00:05:44,301
and my lawsuit against
the L.A. Kings is moving forward.

114
00:05:44,403 --> 00:05:47,304
- How did that happen?
- Maybe a puck hit me. It could happen.

115
00:05:47,406 --> 00:05:52,400
No, the stock. Now, that means we can sell,
right? We can do whatever we want with it?

116
00:05:52,511 --> 00:05:55,480
I'll tell you one thing you don't want to do
is buy stock in the L.A. Kings.

117
00:05:55,581 --> 00:05:57,708
Do you think I could sell
enough to buy a car?

118
00:05:57,816 --> 00:06:00,683
I thought you had four.
Oh, you mean a real one. Yeah, sure.

119
00:06:00,786 --> 00:06:03,516
You can get one, as long as everyone
doesn't sell the company stock at once.

120
00:06:03,622 --> 00:06:06,489
<i>You don't want someone else</i>
<i>to get control of the company.</i>

121
00:06:06,592 --> 00:06:10,153
Right. Gotta keep the company intact, right?
The other people shouldn't risk selling their-

122
00:06:10,262 --> 00:06:13,095
Maybe you can draft up
a letter to the investors:

123
00:06:13,198 --> 00:06:16,031
<i>"Yes, the stock is unfrozen.</i>
<i>We urge you not to sell."</i>

124
00:06:16,134 --> 00:06:19,661
Uh, yeah. Wh-What you just said was
perfect. Why do you want me to write it?

125
00:06:19,771 --> 00:06:23,707
Just send it out on your stationery.
And do it quickly. I have a car to buy.

126
00:06:23,809 --> 00:06:28,041
<i>Meanwhile, Maeby snuck</i>
<i>upstairs to secretly read her scripts.</i>

127
00:06:28,146 --> 00:06:32,606
Ow! Back to film school-

128
00:06:34,152 --> 00:06:37,679
<i>And George Sr. Was only too happy</i>
<i>to have something to read.</i>

129
00:06:37,789 --> 00:06:40,417
<i>Armageddon."</i>

130
00:06:40,526 --> 00:06:43,689
That's a bad title.

131
00:06:43,795 --> 00:06:47,526
<i>Meanwhile, Michael went to get</i>
<i>a good deal on a modest company car.</i>

132
00:06:47,633 --> 00:06:50,761
Oh, something like this?
We have, like, 400 of these.

133
00:06:50,869 --> 00:06:53,064
L- I don't need
anything too popular.

134
00:06:53,171 --> 00:06:55,105
Oh, they're not popular.
We have 400 of them.

135
00:06:55,207 --> 00:06:57,107
Sold.

136
00:06:57,209 --> 00:07:01,612
Although, uh, I'm wondering if maybe
it should just be a little bit nicer.

137
00:07:01,713 --> 00:07:05,080
I got a kid, and safety's kind of
a factor. But nothing too flashy.

138
00:07:05,183 --> 00:07:09,119
This is it, isn't it?
I can tell. You're excited.

139
00:07:09,221 --> 00:07:11,189
- I am.
- I'll draw up the papers.

140
00:07:11,290 --> 00:07:14,453
Unless you think it's too drab.

141
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,460
And it gets very good mileage.

142
00:07:16,562 --> 00:07:19,463
Yeah, well, it, uh- it looks light.

143
00:07:19,565 --> 00:07:21,658
You know, I'm not
so concerned about mileage.

144
00:07:21,767 --> 00:07:25,259
I spent the last 10 years on a bike,
with the exception of the stair car.

145
00:07:25,370 --> 00:07:27,998
Oh, you're the stair car guy.
You took down our banner.

146
00:07:28,106 --> 00:07:31,132
Yeah. Sorry.
I got a hop-on.

147
00:07:31,243 --> 00:07:33,575
I got distracted.
I hate this.

148
00:07:33,679 --> 00:07:36,773
I like these sunglasses.
They come with any car?

149
00:07:36,882 --> 00:07:40,682
Just this one. They throw these extras
at you because it's so impractical.

150
00:07:40,786 --> 00:07:42,981
No back seat.
It attracts so many tickets...

151
00:07:43,088 --> 00:07:45,750
the insurance alone costs as much
as the last three cars we saw.

152
00:07:45,857 --> 00:07:47,757
The windbreaker?
Windbreaker comes with it too?

153
00:07:47,859 --> 00:07:50,487
I guess. I don't know. I've never
sold one of these before, so-

154
00:07:50,596 --> 00:07:53,326
I'll take it.

155
00:07:56,194 --> 00:07:59,686
<i>Michael hadjust indulged</i>
<i>himself with an expensive sports car</i>-

156
00:07:59,797 --> 00:08:01,697
And here again, please.

157
00:08:01,799 --> 00:08:05,030
<i>While Buster indulged</i>
<i>in a night out with Tobias.</i>

158
00:08:05,136 --> 00:08:07,366
This place is exactly
what I had hoped for.

159
00:08:07,472 --> 00:08:10,532
- All ladies.
- Mmm.

160
00:08:10,642 --> 00:08:13,202
Well, I've heard that this uniform
is the best way to meet-

161
00:08:13,311 --> 00:08:16,280
- Lucille 2!
- Buster!

162
00:08:16,381 --> 00:08:19,782
- So you're back.
- Oh, I'm back, Buster!

163
00:08:19,884 --> 00:08:23,445
- Yeah?
- And I am rock steady! No more dizzies.

164
00:08:23,555 --> 00:08:25,921
<i>Lucille Austero hadjust returned...</i>

165
00:08:26,024 --> 00:08:30,961
<i>from a month-long stay at a facility that</i>
<i>specialized in the treatment of vertigo.</i>

166
00:08:31,062 --> 00:08:34,259
Ah. Ah, just a minute. You're okay.

167
00:08:34,365 --> 00:08:36,765
You're okay. You're okay.
We're okay. We're okay!

168
00:08:36,868 --> 00:08:40,167
Somebody'll be here in a second.
We're okay. We're okay.

169
00:08:40,271 --> 00:08:42,239
I am stable as a table.

170
00:08:42,340 --> 00:08:46,504
So, is there a-
a girl in your life?

171
00:08:46,611 --> 00:08:50,172
Well, I would hardly
call my mother a girl.

172
00:08:50,281 --> 00:08:52,511
But, yeah, she's still
very much a part of my life.

173
00:08:52,617 --> 00:08:56,644
No, I mean, uh, someone
who makes you hear music.

174
00:08:56,754 --> 00:08:59,723
Oh. Well, she mostly
likes talk radio.

175
00:08:59,824 --> 00:09:04,523
I mean, a girl who
makes you feel romantic...

176
00:09:04,629 --> 00:09:07,962
and also who makes you
hear beautiful music.

177
00:09:08,066 --> 00:09:10,125
Oh. No.

178
00:09:10,234 --> 00:09:14,136
I guess what I'm trying to say is-

179
00:09:17,642 --> 00:09:20,440
Everybody thinks
they're Frank Sinatra.

180
00:09:20,545 --> 00:09:23,878
- Maybe we could start anew.

181
00:09:26,985 --> 00:09:30,216
<i>And later, Michael got</i>
<i>an urgent call from his mother.</i>

182
00:09:30,321 --> 00:09:34,485
He's with her again.
Buster's taken up with that Lucille 2.

183
00:09:34,592 --> 00:09:36,492
That's why you called me here?

184
00:09:36,594 --> 00:09:39,256
I've got my secretary bringing over
a bunch of important papers.

185
00:09:39,364 --> 00:09:41,798
- I thought this was urgent.
- Well, it's all your fault.

186
00:09:41,899 --> 00:09:44,800
You're the one who insisted
he get away from Mother.

187
00:09:44,902 --> 00:09:47,803
Well, I wasn't trying to send him
to a new one. Where is he?

188
00:09:47,905 --> 00:09:49,805
He's on the balcony.

189
00:09:49,907 --> 00:09:52,603
Buster?

190
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:54,905
Mom's becoming a little controlling.

191
00:09:55,013 --> 00:09:57,481
<i>What tripped you off? When she</i>
<i>locked you out on the balcony again?</i>

192
00:09:57,582 --> 00:10:01,575
That was half my fault. I thought
I saw a graham cracker out there.

193
00:10:01,686 --> 00:10:04,849
- <i>You baited the balcony?</i>
- Prove it.

194
00:10:04,956 --> 00:10:07,288
<i>So I don't typically</i>
<i>take sides with Mother...</i>

195
00:10:07,392 --> 00:10:10,122
but l-l-I do agree that Lucille 2...

196
00:10:10,228 --> 00:10:13,356
might not be
the best choice for you.

197
00:10:13,464 --> 00:10:16,160
I wouldn't even have been there
if Mom wanted to go bowling.

198
00:10:16,267 --> 00:10:18,667
How am I gonna meet someone
who has my interests?

199
00:10:18,770 --> 00:10:20,328
- Hi, Michael.
- Hey. Great.

200
00:10:20,438 --> 00:10:22,338
- I have those papers for you to sign.
- Perfect.

201
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,601
<i>By the way, I love your mother.</i>

202
00:10:24,709 --> 00:10:27,075
- Oh, yeah, I do too.
- Oh.

203
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,316
I think I may have found
a new girl for Buster.

204
00:10:32,417 --> 00:10:36,319
Good. That Lucille isn't really
interested in Buster anyway.

205
00:10:36,421 --> 00:10:39,857
- She's just trying to get even with me.
- Get even with you for what?

206
00:10:39,957 --> 00:10:43,552
She wanted me to let in her remodeling
crew while she was out of town.

207
00:10:43,661 --> 00:10:46,892
Wait a minute. This tub's
a little bigger than it used to be.

208
00:10:46,998 --> 00:10:50,559
<i>It was.</i>
<i>Instead ofletting the construction crew...</i>

209
00:10:50,668 --> 00:10:52,568
- <i>into Lucille Austero's penthouse</i>-
- Come right in.

210
00:10:52,670 --> 00:10:55,400
<i>Lucille had put them to work</i>
<i>on a project ofher own.</i>

211
00:10:56,808 --> 00:11:00,710
- What'd you do?
- Well, I sat on one of these jets.

212
00:11:00,812 --> 00:11:04,339
<i>- But I think we can fix it.</i>
- Don't give me that look.

213
00:11:04,449 --> 00:11:08,215
I moved the wall a couple
of inches into her penthouse.

214
00:11:08,319 --> 00:11:11,914
Don't think she's not over there
right now, plotting her revenge.

215
00:11:14,826 --> 00:11:17,818
God, the new equilibrium
really does-

216
00:11:17,929 --> 00:11:20,727
It makes the room seem tighter.

217
00:11:22,033 --> 00:11:24,433
<i>She's always a step ahead of me.</i>

218
00:11:24,535 --> 00:11:26,594
That's what makes her
such a worthy opponent.

219
00:11:26,704 --> 00:11:30,367
- How'd you pay for it?
- I cashed in some stock. You knew it was unfrozen.

220
00:11:30,475 --> 00:11:34,241
I know. I sent you that letter. It says
not to sell, or we're gonna lose control.

221
00:11:34,345 --> 00:11:37,906
<i>It does? I stopped at "unfrozen."</i>

222
00:11:38,015 --> 00:11:41,246
<i>Lindsay, you didn't cash in your stock,</i>
<i>did you? Tell me you didn't.</i>

223
00:11:41,352 --> 00:11:43,252
- I didn't.
- <i>Yet.</i>

224
00:11:43,354 --> 00:11:45,982
There's a pretty long wait list
for membership right now.

225
00:11:46,090 --> 00:11:48,422
Gob, you didn't sell, did you?

226
00:11:48,526 --> 00:11:53,122
What? No. I'm trying to get
a job from you, Mikey. Come on.

227
00:11:53,231 --> 00:11:55,927
Okay. As long as you two didn't sell,
I think we should be okay.

228
00:11:56,033 --> 00:11:58,263
- I was afraid that l-
- I just bought the Queen Mary.

229
00:11:58,369 --> 00:12:01,099
<i>You're kidding.</i>
<i>I was just gonna get a yacht.</i>

230
00:12:01,205 --> 00:12:05,107
No, no, no. The club. I was dancing with
what turned out to be the club's owner...

231
00:12:05,209 --> 00:12:08,201
and he was looking to sell.

232
00:12:08,312 --> 00:12:10,872
Oh, he really, really
did look like a woman.

233
00:12:10,982 --> 00:12:14,281
But anyhoo, can you believe that
the only reason the club is going under...

234
00:12:14,385 --> 00:12:16,444
is because it's
in a terrifying neighborhood?

235
00:12:16,554 --> 00:12:19,216
- This is unbelievable.
- Tobias, I promised that money
to the country club.

236
00:12:19,323 --> 00:12:22,781
- Country club?
- It's in such a good neighborhood.

237
00:12:22,894 --> 00:12:25,055
I don't believe this.
Did you guys not read the letter?

238
00:12:25,163 --> 00:12:28,462
<i>None of them</i>
<i>had read past the word "unfrozen."</i>

239
00:12:28,566 --> 00:12:30,557
I hope you're all proud of yourselves.

240
00:12:30,668 --> 00:12:34,035
Your careless, selfish spending sprees
may have cost us the Bluth Company.

241
00:12:34,138 --> 00:12:36,038
Hey, Dad, is that
your new car in the driveway?

242
00:12:36,140 --> 00:12:39,075
I can't believe you got a Corvette!

243
00:12:39,177 --> 00:12:41,839
It's a company car.

244
00:12:44,377 --> 00:12:46,868
<i>Michael had bought a car...</i>

245
00:12:46,979 --> 00:12:49,209
<i>and it had helped</i>
<i>put the company in jeopardy.</i>

246
00:12:49,315 --> 00:12:53,081
I'm sorry about the patch. I'm testifying
against the Kings this afternoon.

247
00:12:53,185 --> 00:12:55,585
You can't see it. I just winked.

248
00:12:55,688 --> 00:12:59,818
<i>So basically, you're</i>
<i>about 2,000 shares short...</i>

249
00:12:59,925 --> 00:13:02,393
of being the majority stockholders.

250
00:13:02,495 --> 00:13:04,895
<i>Now unfortunately, it's a private stock...</i>

251
00:13:04,997 --> 00:13:08,728
<i>so you cannotjust buy up the shares</i>
<i>unless someone is willing to sell.</i>

252
00:13:08,834 --> 00:13:11,496
- Are you sure?
- That's what they said on AskJeeves.

253
00:13:11,604 --> 00:13:15,096
- All right, who's the majority shareholder now?
- A company called Standpoor.

254
00:13:15,207 --> 00:13:19,303
- Standpoor?
- As in the opposite of Sitwell...

255
00:13:19,412 --> 00:13:21,812
which is run by a certain
hairless man...

256
00:13:21,914 --> 00:13:24,144
who could be very upset
with you right now.

257
00:13:24,250 --> 00:13:26,445
What would he have to be upset
with me about?

258
00:13:26,552 --> 00:13:30,420
- You're wearing his eyebrows?
- They make me feel dressier.

259
00:13:32,658 --> 00:13:35,559
- Hello?
- Is it true, Michael? Did we lose the company?

260
00:13:35,661 --> 00:13:39,461
Kind of. To something called
Standpoor. Yeah, it's Sitwell.

261
00:13:39,565 --> 00:13:43,001
- It's Lucille Austero.
- Lucille 2?

262
00:13:43,102 --> 00:13:46,629
<i>Standpoor, because she can't</i>
<i>stand up without falling over.</i>

263
00:13:46,739 --> 00:13:50,300
I don't know why she'd have any trouble.
A piano could stand on those legs.

264
00:13:50,409 --> 00:13:52,969
<i>She's trying to get even</i>
<i>with me for the remodeling.</i>

265
00:13:53,078 --> 00:13:56,514
I think we're gonna need
a new floating thermometer.

266
00:13:56,615 --> 00:13:58,947
Could I have your-
your Blue Cross number?

267
00:13:59,051 --> 00:14:03,545
Well, let's think about this, Mom. I mean,
maybe there's a way that we can reason with her-

268
00:14:03,656 --> 00:14:05,556
- Give her Buster.
- What?

269
00:14:05,658 --> 00:14:08,786
- We need our company back.
- Mom, that's horrible.

270
00:14:08,894 --> 00:14:12,295
I don't suppose <i>you've</i> spent money
on something <i>you</i> can return?

271
00:14:12,398 --> 00:14:14,229
- Sweet ride, dude.
- <i>Let's give her Buster.</i>

272
00:14:15,501 --> 00:14:17,401
Starla, do you know
where my brother is?

273
00:14:17,503 --> 00:14:20,131
<i>Yes, he's on cloud nine.</i>
<i>That was me, Michael.</i>

274
00:14:20,239 --> 00:14:22,366
What's going on?
Where's Starla?

275
00:14:22,475 --> 00:14:24,841
Oh, she's saying good-bye
to someone named Q.

276
00:14:24,944 --> 00:14:27,980
If she can get past his security system,
she's gonna tell him it's over.

277
00:14:27,980 --> 00:14:28,742
If she can get past his security system,
she's gonna tell him it's over.

278
00:14:28,848 --> 00:14:30,839
She's amazing.

279
00:14:30,950 --> 00:14:34,750
We completely connected.
And it's all because of you.

280
00:14:34,854 --> 00:14:37,687
You made this happen.

281
00:14:37,790 --> 00:14:39,690
I feel alive!

282
00:14:39,792 --> 00:14:42,920
<i>Indeed,</i>
<i>Starla and Buster did hit it off well</i>-

283
00:14:43,028 --> 00:14:47,158
<i>Buster being a sweeter, more supportive</i>
<i>man than she was used to...</i>

284
00:14:47,266 --> 00:14:49,996
<i>and Starla being a woman</i>
<i>that wasn't 70.</i>

285
00:14:50,102 --> 00:14:55,005
<i>I'm just wondering if you</i>
<i>didn't upgrade a little too fast.</i>

286
00:14:55,107 --> 00:14:59,510
You know, you want something sensible, you
end up getting pushed into something flashy.

287
00:14:59,612 --> 00:15:01,375
What does that mean?

288
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,846
Don't you think
you belong in a Lucille?

289
00:15:10,155 --> 00:15:12,680
<i>Maeby, meanwhile,</i>
<i>gave reading her script another shot...</i>

290
00:15:12,791 --> 00:15:16,056
<i>only to discover her work was done.</i>

291
00:15:16,161 --> 00:15:18,527
<i>Her scripts had been noted.</i>

292
00:15:18,631 --> 00:15:21,327
<i>So she went to find the person</i>
<i>she thought was responsible.</i>

293
00:15:21,433 --> 00:15:23,867
George Michael,
I read your notes.

294
00:15:23,969 --> 00:15:27,029
What? You-
Oh, you found the-

295
00:15:27,139 --> 00:15:29,437
- Well, look, I don't-That was a long-
- They were great.

296
00:15:29,542 --> 00:15:33,478
I mean, they said so many things I wanted
to say, but I didn't know how, you know?

297
00:15:33,579 --> 00:15:35,547
Don't tell anyone, okay?

298
00:15:35,648 --> 00:15:38,208
Never.

299
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:43,947
I guess she didn't see the drawings.

300
00:15:44,056 --> 00:15:47,492
<i>Meanwhile, Tobias prepared</i>
<i>to assume ownership of the Queen Mary.</i>

301
00:15:47,593 --> 00:15:50,892
No, no. It's supposed to say
"Tobias's Queen Mary."

302
00:15:50,996 --> 00:15:55,057
No, that is not what it says.
I distinct- Hello?

303
00:15:56,502 --> 00:15:58,800
Well, I suppose I could just
paint over "Mary."

304
00:15:58,904 --> 00:16:01,395
Don't bother, man.
This is our club now.

305
00:16:05,844 --> 00:16:09,974
<i>Tobias didn't want to sell</i>
<i>his new club, but Lindsay did.</i>

306
00:16:10,082 --> 00:16:14,246
<i>Which is why she hired several members</i>
<i>of a local stripper agency...</i>

307
00:16:14,353 --> 00:16:17,151
<i>called the Hot Cops</i>
<i>to pose as the roughnecks.</i>

308
00:16:17,256 --> 00:16:20,419
All right, fellas, look. I know you know
nothing but a life on the street...

309
00:16:20,526 --> 00:16:23,427
but I'd like to offer you something
that the Queen Mary gave me.

310
00:16:23,529 --> 00:16:25,463
The joy of the stage.

311
00:16:25,564 --> 00:16:28,590
So maybe you could, uh,
start jeté-ing...

312
00:16:28,701 --> 00:16:32,102
and stop "je-terrorizing" me.

313
00:16:32,204 --> 00:16:35,037
- Yeah!
- Absolutely!

314
00:16:35,140 --> 00:16:37,768
- We could do <i>Rent.</i>
- Well, this is joyous news.

315
00:16:37,876 --> 00:16:40,868
<i>And Buster,</i>
<i>now convinced that Lucille 2...</i>

316
00:16:40,980 --> 00:16:44,609
<i>was the right woman for him,</i>
<i>broke up with Starla.</i>

317
00:16:46,151 --> 00:16:48,051
You okay?

318
00:16:48,153 --> 00:16:50,451
It was for the best anyway.

319
00:16:50,556 --> 00:16:54,492
A girl like that deserves to be taken
care of, and I'm just a poor soldier.

320
00:16:54,593 --> 00:16:57,118
You didn't sell your stock?

321
00:16:57,229 --> 00:17:00,164
What? No. Your letter said not to...

322
00:17:00,265 --> 00:17:02,529
and I would never
want to hurt the family.

323
00:17:02,635 --> 00:17:05,103
<i>And Michael realized his little brother...</i>

324
00:17:05,204 --> 00:17:07,331
<i>deserved happiness more than anyone.</i>

325
00:17:07,439 --> 00:17:10,203
You know, uh, I want you
to forget about what I said.

326
00:17:10,309 --> 00:17:12,209
I was wrong.
You two belong together.

327
00:17:12,311 --> 00:17:14,370
I'll take care of Lucille 2 for you.

328
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,471
- Really?
- Yeah.

329
00:17:16,582 --> 00:17:20,985
Let her down easy. That right knee
could go at any time.

330
00:17:21,086 --> 00:17:23,486
Starla!

331
00:17:23,589 --> 00:17:26,490
<i>And at the "Tobias is Queen Mary"...</i>

332
00:17:26,592 --> 00:17:29,254
<i>Tobias couldn't believe</i>
<i>how quickly he had gotten through...</i>

333
00:17:29,361 --> 00:17:33,821
<i>to his ragtag gang of neighborhood toughs.</i>

334
00:17:33,932 --> 00:17:37,834
Wow. You really have made
some amazing strides in a half an hour.

335
00:17:37,936 --> 00:17:39,995
<i>We have to take this to the streets.</i>

336
00:17:40,105 --> 00:17:42,505
We have to strut!

337
00:17:42,608 --> 00:17:44,667
<i>Michael knew ifhe had any chance...</i>

338
00:17:44,777 --> 00:17:47,109
<i>of getting control of the company again...</i>

339
00:17:47,212 --> 00:17:49,271
- <i>he would need to charm Lucille 2.</i>
- Lucille 2.

340
00:17:49,381 --> 00:17:51,542
- Your hair!
- Can I take you for a spin?

341
00:17:51,650 --> 00:17:55,609
<i>But the spin in Michael's</i>
<i>new car retriggered her vertigo.</i>

342
00:17:55,721 --> 00:17:59,851
<i>That night, Tobias's plan</i>
<i>to change the streets with his gang...</i>

343
00:17:59,958 --> 00:18:02,552
<i>also turned out to be ill-conceived.</i>

344
00:18:02,661 --> 00:18:05,892
<i>Hey, "fezellas,"looks like</i>
<i>you guys are up to no good.</i>

345
00:18:05,998 --> 00:18:10,697
Well, this gang used to be
like that too- three, four!

346
00:18:10,803 --> 00:18:13,704
So you think you're tough
Well, we hate rappin'

347
00:18:13,806 --> 00:18:16,274
But don't bust a cap in
'Cause here's what's happenin'

348
00:18:16,375 --> 00:18:19,538
<i>We're breakin'out</i>
<i>some old-fashioned tappin'</i>

349
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,580
Oh, I've been shot!

350
00:18:23,682 --> 00:18:27,049
- We miscalculated! Retreat!
- Quick, switch to <i>Follies</i>!

351
00:18:27,152 --> 00:18:29,484
That's not gonna help!

352
00:18:29,588 --> 00:18:33,922
<i>Meanwhile, Michael and</i>
<i>Lucille 2 arrived to find the club nearly empty.</i>

353
00:18:34,026 --> 00:18:36,085
<i>Although Michael</i>
<i>would have fit in perfectly.</i>

354
00:18:36,195 --> 00:18:39,130
Something? It's probably-
I'll tell you what, Lucille.

355
00:18:39,231 --> 00:18:42,029
- I'm gonna take you dancing, huh?
- No, Michael, please.

356
00:18:42,134 --> 00:18:45,069
You have undone all
of Dr. Sandor Plumb's work.

357
00:18:45,170 --> 00:18:49,573
Oh, I'm sorry. Look, the reason
that I showed up tonight...

358
00:18:49,675 --> 00:18:53,668
was because I don't think that it's right
for you to be dating my brother.

359
00:18:53,779 --> 00:18:56,441
I mean, he's met someone else,
and, frankly...

360
00:18:56,548 --> 00:18:58,641
the only reason that
he asked you out tonight...

361
00:18:58,751 --> 00:19:02,016
was because I wanted him to get
the stock back from you...

362
00:19:02,121 --> 00:19:04,612
so that I could regain
control of the company.

363
00:19:04,723 --> 00:19:08,124
But I would- I'd rather
have my brother back.

364
00:19:08,227 --> 00:19:10,923
So- I'm sorry.

365
00:19:11,029 --> 00:19:13,122
- I understand.
- Thank you.

366
00:19:13,232 --> 00:19:17,794
And I do not blame you for
not liking the Bluths anymore.

367
00:19:17,903 --> 00:19:20,701
Like the Bluths?
I love the Bluths.

368
00:19:20,806 --> 00:19:24,606
- Why did you buy up all of our company stock?
- To support you guys.

369
00:19:24,710 --> 00:19:30,444
I have always had a standing order
to buy up any available Bluth stock.

370
00:19:30,549 --> 00:19:34,212
You do know that we're about 2,000 shares
short of controlling the company now.

371
00:19:34,319 --> 00:19:37,482
- Well, you could have some of mine.
- Really? Would you do that?

372
00:19:37,589 --> 00:19:40,319
- Yeah, of course.
- Well, that's-Thank you.

373
00:19:40,425 --> 00:19:42,723
- Actually, there is a condition.
- Anything.

374
00:19:42,828 --> 00:19:47,492
- Call me a cab.
- Ah, because of my driving. Yes.

375
00:19:47,599 --> 00:19:49,658
<i>And so the next day...</i>

376
00:19:49,768 --> 00:19:52,532
<i>Michael was thrilled to have</i>
<i>control of the company back.</i>

377
00:19:52,638 --> 00:19:54,606
- I fixed everything.
- <i>Oh?</i>

378
00:19:54,706 --> 00:19:57,698
With the business.
It's all taken care of.

379
00:19:57,810 --> 00:20:01,405
- You didn't think I could, but I did.
- Gob, what'd you do?

380
00:20:01,513 --> 00:20:05,643
Hi.
- <i>Gob had run into Lucille 2</i>
<i>after Michael dropped her off.</i>

381
00:20:05,751 --> 00:20:07,810
My mom really took up
a bunch of your space, huh?

382
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,480
- What a bitch.
- What do you mean?

383
00:20:10,589 --> 00:20:13,422
When she expanded her bathroom
and moved your wall over.

384
00:20:13,525 --> 00:20:16,323
That's why all your stuff s
sticking out.

385
00:20:16,428 --> 00:20:18,828
Oh.

386
00:20:18,931 --> 00:20:24,335
Your mother really has a way of getting my goat.

387
00:20:24,436 --> 00:20:26,404
<i>So Gob- Lucille 2.</i>

388
00:20:26,505 --> 00:20:30,373
- You what?
- Oh, and she's not gonna give
the shares back now.

389
00:20:30,475 --> 00:20:33,672
- You just said that you fixed everything.
- Oh, I meant <i>my</i> problems.

390
00:20:33,779 --> 00:20:36,339
Yeah, she's gonna make me
the new president.

391
00:20:37,883 --> 00:20:42,115
You don't need to prove
yourself to me, little brother.

392
00:20:42,221 --> 00:20:45,019
You will always have a job here.

393
00:20:45,123 --> 00:20:47,751
But I do need the keys
to the company car.

394
00:20:49,561 --> 00:20:53,122
<i>On the next</i> Arrested Development-

395
00:20:53,232 --> 00:20:56,167

398
00:21:05,177 --> 00:21:07,407
It still has the dungeon area, right?

<i>And Gob gets needy.</i>

400
00:21:09,948 --> 00:21:12,178
