1
00:00:01,041 --> 00:00:03,874
Now the story of a wealthy family
who lost everything...
2
00:00:03,978 --> 00:00:06,469
and the one son who had no choice...
3
00:00:06,580 --> 00:00:08,571
but to keep them all together.
4
00:00:14,121 --> 00:00:15,816
It's Arrested Development.
5
00:00:18,292 --> 00:00:21,557
Michael Bluth and his family were
meeting with their new attorney.
6
00:00:21,662 --> 00:00:24,893
Look, this is not the first time I've been
brought in to replace Barry Zuckerkorn.
7
00:00:24,999 --> 00:00:27,229
I think I can do for you
everything he did...
8
00:00:27,334 --> 00:00:29,928
plus skew younger...
with juries and so forth.
9
00:00:30,037 --> 00:00:31,664
Any other questions?
10
00:00:31,772 --> 00:00:34,764
Yes. How can you be even cuter in person
than you are in your ads?
11
00:00:34,875 --> 00:00:37,366
Are you a CEO, CFO or other executive...
12
00:00:37,478 --> 00:00:39,776
facing these or similar charges?
13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,840
Why should you go to jail for
a crime someone else... noticed?
14
00:00:44,952 --> 00:00:48,718
You don't need double-talk.
You need Bob Loblaw.
15
00:00:48,822 --> 00:00:50,756
Bob Loblaw no habla espanol.
16
00:00:50,858 --> 00:00:53,418
Well, we're not here to talk
nonsense to Bob Loblaw.
17
00:00:53,527 --> 00:00:55,859
We need to find out if the government
has a good case against us.
18
00:00:55,963 --> 00:00:58,864
I mean, there is a lot of proof that
my father was building houses in Iraq.
19
00:00:58,966 --> 00:01:01,696
Well, your father claims he was
put up to it by a British syndicate.
20
00:01:01,802 --> 00:01:04,396
- And you've been threatened. Isn't that correct?
- It was.
21
00:01:04,505 --> 00:01:07,702
How would you like someone going after
some stupid person in your family?
22
00:01:07,808 --> 00:01:10,538
Now, back off, you!@%$# ponce!
23
00:01:10,644 --> 00:01:12,373
It's been a week.
Nothing's happened.
24
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:15,573
Yeah, but you're not the one stuck
under house arrest like a sitting duck.
25
00:01:15,682 --> 00:01:17,582
Oh, yeah. That's my father.
26
00:01:17,684 --> 00:01:20,209
That's why we had the meeting
here... so he couldn't interfere.
27
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:23,721
Interfere? I oughta pull down
your pants and spank your ass raw.
28
00:01:23,824 --> 00:01:26,224
I'm sorry.
Have we met?
29
00:01:26,326 --> 00:01:29,762
Oh, yes. This is Larry Middleman.
He's your father's surrogate.
30
00:01:29,863 --> 00:01:32,127
- Surrogate?
- That's right, you dumb!@%$.
31
00:01:32,232 --> 00:01:34,223
I hired this guy to wear
a camera in his hat...
32
00:01:34,334 --> 00:01:37,064
so he could be my eyes and ears
while I'm stuck in this penthouse.
33
00:01:37,171 --> 00:01:40,197
This camera helps me
keep tabs on you idiots...
34
00:01:40,307 --> 00:01:42,400
while this thing rubs my ankle raw.
35
00:01:42,509 --> 00:01:45,967
- I mean, look at this thing.
- I can't even go in the hallway...
36
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,413
- Without hearing that...
- Beep, beep, beep.
37
00:01:49,516 --> 00:01:52,246
That's one of my partners.
Excuse me.
38
00:01:52,352 --> 00:01:54,718
Uh, I would like to be
one of your partners.
39
00:01:54,822 --> 00:01:57,620
Do you think he got that?
The two meanings?
40
00:01:57,724 --> 00:01:59,624
He's running pretty fast.
I think he did.
41
00:01:59,726 --> 00:02:01,626
Well, he was flirting earlier.
I'll tell you that.
42
00:02:01,728 --> 00:02:04,629
Just so you know,
I'm looking to get divorced.
43
00:02:04,731 --> 00:02:06,255
- Are you interested?
- Yes.
44
00:02:11,138 --> 00:02:13,106
Let's call that a half hour.
45
00:02:13,207 --> 00:02:16,176
- So you're not the only one who's got a date later.
- You've got a date?
46
00:02:16,276 --> 00:02:20,303
Her name's Rita. She teaches children at
a private school, and we're just having lunch.
47
00:02:20,414 --> 00:02:22,507
Oh, lunch. Well, you better
bring some dog food.
48
00:02:22,616 --> 00:02:26,177
All the girls you date are dogs.
Dogs love dog food, right, Pop?
49
00:02:26,286 --> 00:02:28,550
Shut up, you idiot.
I'm trying to watch the game.
50
00:02:28,655 --> 00:02:31,089
Just trying
to make you laugh, Dad.
51
00:02:31,191 --> 00:02:33,887
- It's all I ever wanted.
- Smith the catcher...
52
00:02:33,994 --> 00:02:36,724
You know, Gob, she's not a dog.
It's just the opposite actually.
53
00:02:36,830 --> 00:02:41,893
She's exquisitely beautiful. She's fun,
carefree, smart, full of surprises.
54
00:02:42,002 --> 00:02:45,403
Including the fact that
she was working with this man...
55
00:02:45,506 --> 00:02:47,838
who was currently
dropping her off for her date.
56
00:02:47,941 --> 00:02:51,240
Now all this fun and carefree act
is only gonna fool him for so long.
57
00:02:51,345 --> 00:02:55,008
- I'm a big girl.
- Yeah. Well, if he finds out what you really are...
58
00:02:55,115 --> 00:02:57,811
he might not make things
so simple for you.
59
00:02:57,918 --> 00:03:01,319
Rita, don't forget your hat.
60
00:03:05,292 --> 00:03:08,523
- Who am I kidding? She's too good for me.
- How do you think I feel?
61
00:03:08,629 --> 00:03:11,154
Bob Loblaw's a handsome,
professional man...
62
00:03:11,265 --> 00:03:13,859
and I'm only used to...
well, none of those things.
63
00:03:13,967 --> 00:03:17,027
Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting
that I was a professional twice over?
64
00:03:17,137 --> 00:03:20,868
An analyst and a therapist.
The world's first "analrapist."
65
00:03:20,974 --> 00:03:24,740
Yes, and you were almost arrested
for those business cards.
66
00:03:24,845 --> 00:03:28,372
Yes. No, it did not look good on paper, but
I didn't stop because of the police inquiries.
67
00:03:28,482 --> 00:03:30,609
I stopped to raise our little daughter.
68
00:03:30,717 --> 00:03:34,175
But since we both have started
to grow hair in unexpected places...
69
00:03:34,288 --> 00:03:37,121
I suppose I shall soon
be working as a leading man...
70
00:03:37,224 --> 00:03:39,385
and she may soon start dating.
71
00:03:39,493 --> 00:03:42,053
Maeby had already started dating.
72
00:03:42,162 --> 00:03:44,187
Another date with, uh, Steve Holt?
73
00:03:44,298 --> 00:03:46,425
Yeah. We're gettin' pretty serious.
74
00:03:46,533 --> 00:03:50,594
They weren't. She was just avoiding her
real crush on George Michael.
75
00:03:50,704 --> 00:03:52,569
That Steve sure knows
how to please a lady.
76
00:03:52,673 --> 00:03:56,473
Good. I was hoping
he would be gifted sexually.
77
00:03:56,577 --> 00:04:00,035
I guess it makes sense. You know,
uh, older guys expect certain things.
78
00:04:00,147 --> 00:04:03,241
- They do?
- What a fun, sexy time for you.
79
00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:05,750
I'd be very careful
of these British people.
80
00:04:05,852 --> 00:04:08,719
They're gonna try to get their hands
on any evidence they can to hurt the family.
81
00:04:08,822 --> 00:04:10,722
So you're saying shred the evidence?
82
00:04:10,824 --> 00:04:14,055
No, that's illegal. The prosecution
is entitled to that evidence.
83
00:04:14,161 --> 00:04:16,891
- Without it, they don't have a case.
- So shred the evidence?
84
00:04:16,997 --> 00:04:20,091
That's a felony. And I certainly couldn't
endorse anything like that.
85
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,134
Got ya. Wink.
86
00:04:22,236 --> 00:04:24,670
Wink. Did you say wink?
87
00:04:24,771 --> 00:04:27,296
- Or did you wink?
- He said that too, Dad.
88
00:04:27,407 --> 00:04:29,272
We'll talk soon, folks. Thank you.
89
00:04:29,376 --> 00:04:32,072
Where are you going?
Where is the surrogate going?
90
00:04:32,179 --> 00:04:35,114
Stay there. I want to see what
he's gonna say. Don't leave.
91
00:04:35,215 --> 00:04:37,115
See ya, Pop.
92
00:04:37,217 --> 00:04:39,879
You know, Gob, instead of trying
to impress your fake father...
93
00:04:39,987 --> 00:04:42,148
maybe you should spend
some time with your real son.
94
00:04:42,256 --> 00:04:45,419
- Steve Holt's not my son.
- Steve Holt? The moron jock?
95
00:04:45,525 --> 00:04:47,959
That's my son, you pothead.
96
00:04:48,061 --> 00:04:51,588
- Hey, that's my son!
- Wait. So that means that Steve Holt is my cousin?
97
00:04:51,698 --> 00:04:55,259
- And Maeby's cousin too.
- I guess. Shoot, I'm late for my date.
98
00:04:55,369 --> 00:04:58,532
Yeah. At the kennel!
99
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:02,871
You lobbed that one right over
the plate, Michael. Home run.
100
00:05:02,976 --> 00:05:06,173
And Michael hurried to the British
section of Orange County for his date.
101
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:09,044
Crazy American!
Get out of the road!
102
00:05:09,149 --> 00:05:13,518
Only to find that Rita had chosen Wee
Britain's one American-themed restaurant.
103
00:05:13,620 --> 00:05:16,020
Oh, hello.
I'm sorry I'm late.
104
00:05:16,123 --> 00:05:19,957
Oh, no bother. I've been having
such fun on this spaceship.
105
00:05:20,060 --> 00:05:22,392
Strike one, huh?
Shall we go ahead and sit down?
106
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:30,402
Hey, dudes, I'll get you
a couple of 64-ounce colas...
107
00:05:30,504 --> 00:05:32,734
to wash down
this basket of doughnuts...
108
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,240
I guess this is what
the British think of Americans.
109
00:05:36,343 --> 00:05:39,005
- We like our food.
- Whatever do you mean?
110
00:05:39,112 --> 00:05:41,273
Yeah.
111
00:05:41,381 --> 00:05:43,872
Uh, you know, uh, Rita,
you're gonna figure this out eventually...
112
00:05:43,984 --> 00:05:46,544
but I have not been on a date
in a long, long time.
113
00:05:46,653 --> 00:05:49,213
- Neither have I.
- I wonder why.
114
00:05:49,323 --> 00:05:51,883
I'll bet men
ask you out constantly.
115
00:05:51,992 --> 00:05:55,359
Not men like you. I seem
to only meet little boys.
116
00:05:55,462 --> 00:05:57,589
Part of that might be that
you spend your day at a preschool.
117
00:05:57,698 --> 00:06:00,166
And they think the stupidest things are funny.
118
00:06:00,267 --> 00:06:02,735
Yeah, that's a cultural problem
is what it is, you know.
119
00:06:02,836 --> 00:06:05,669
Your average American male
is in a perpetual state of adolescence...
120
00:06:05,772 --> 00:06:07,672
you know,
arrested development.
121
00:06:07,774 --> 00:06:09,674
Hey, that's the name of the show!
122
00:06:09,776 --> 00:06:13,837
No attention span. You know,
can't even carry on a typical conver...
123
00:06:13,947 --> 00:06:17,246
Michael thought he spotted the man
who'd threatened him earlier.
124
00:06:17,351 --> 00:06:19,842
Well, I'm gettin' back
on the space shuttle.
125
00:06:19,953 --> 00:06:21,853
No, no, no. Sorry. Sorry.
Sit, please.
126
00:06:21,955 --> 00:06:24,719
Let's talk about you.
Tell me about your family.
127
00:06:24,825 --> 00:06:28,352
Well, they're pushy, bossy,
want to control me.
128
00:06:28,462 --> 00:06:33,024
What about your family?
I'd love to meet your family.
129
00:06:33,133 --> 00:06:34,623
Michael knew from experience...
130
00:06:34,735 --> 00:06:37,329
that this would not turn out well.
131
00:06:37,437 --> 00:06:41,203
Once or twice a week,
we get a...
132
00:06:41,308 --> 00:06:43,208
Have a little more.
133
00:06:43,310 --> 00:06:46,040
If you like the small, why don't
you come back for the medium?
134
00:06:48,148 --> 00:06:51,083
Right? You can see that, right?
135
00:06:51,184 --> 00:06:53,675
I probably should
warn you about my mother.
136
00:06:53,787 --> 00:06:56,654
- Hi.
- Let's start behind the fridge.
137
00:06:56,757 --> 00:06:59,453
So he came up with
a solution so simple...
138
00:06:59,559 --> 00:07:02,551
he wondered why he'd
never told anyone it before.
139
00:07:02,662 --> 00:07:05,460
I don't have a family.
140
00:07:05,565 --> 00:07:08,329
I can't believe I've never
told anybody that before.
141
00:07:08,435 --> 00:07:10,494
That's so sad.
142
00:07:10,604 --> 00:07:12,970
Yes, sad. Super sad.
Shall we eat?
143
00:07:15,843 --> 00:07:17,743
Michael had started a relationship...
144
00:07:17,845 --> 00:07:19,813
by lying about the existence
of his family.
145
00:07:19,914 --> 00:07:21,905
I think this went
really well, huh?
146
00:07:22,016 --> 00:07:24,644
- Maybe sometime we can have dinner?
- Could I see your house?
147
00:07:24,752 --> 00:07:27,414
Michael was caught
off-guard by the question.
148
00:07:28,723 --> 00:07:31,419
No. No. I... I can't do that.
149
00:07:31,525 --> 00:07:34,426
- Okay, bye-bye.
- Uh, bye.
150
00:07:34,528 --> 00:07:37,429
And he vowed not to be
caught off-guard again.
151
00:07:37,531 --> 00:07:40,091
I didn't mean that we...
152
00:07:40,201 --> 00:07:42,101
So did he invite you over, then?
153
00:07:42,203 --> 00:07:44,797
Not yet, but he will.
154
00:07:44,905 --> 00:07:47,738
So Michael went back to work.
155
00:07:47,842 --> 00:07:50,106
Hey, who brought in the wood...
156
00:07:53,381 --> 00:07:56,782
Gob, you can't shred this evidence.
You'll end up in jail.
157
00:07:56,884 --> 00:08:00,786
Dad told me to.
How can I say no to that face?
158
00:08:00,888 --> 00:08:04,380
Get this stuff out of here and put it
somewhere where Dad can't get to it.
159
00:08:04,492 --> 00:08:09,293
- Are you in on this too?
- No, I'm just here to go out
to lunch with your father.
160
00:08:09,397 --> 00:08:12,059
And he said he's never
felt more free in his life.
161
00:08:12,166 --> 00:08:16,796
- I'm like a bird up there.
- Did you tell him about my medal?
162
00:08:16,904 --> 00:08:19,998
- Medal? What for?
- Oh, who knows what they were saying.
163
00:08:23,811 --> 00:08:26,575
- Do you agree? Say thank you.
- Thank you. Wow.
164
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,480
- I have so many people to thank.
- Private Asher, step forward!
165
00:08:30,584 --> 00:08:32,848
It's probably because
a seal bit off his hand.
166
00:08:32,953 --> 00:08:36,514
The army has taken to giving
medals for being food.
167
00:08:36,624 --> 00:08:39,491
- Just then...
- Look at him go tied to that deck chair!
168
00:08:39,593 --> 00:08:42,892
It's so simple.
My ankle monitor...
169
00:08:42,997 --> 00:08:45,329
only goes off when
I go out the front door.
170
00:08:45,433 --> 00:08:47,833
We need balloons.
A party!
171
00:08:47,935 --> 00:08:50,495
- We need to throw a party for...
- Buster's stupid thing.
172
00:08:50,604 --> 00:08:52,970
Larry, go get some balloons.
173
00:08:53,074 --> 00:08:56,134
And Michael found a way
to get Rita to his house after all.
174
00:08:56,243 --> 00:08:59,041
That's a great idea.
Honor Buster tomorrow night.
175
00:08:59,146 --> 00:09:01,910
We'll get the whole family over to
the penthouse, show him our support.
176
00:09:02,016 --> 00:09:05,110
Well, I suppose it's better
than drinking alone. What time?
177
00:09:05,219 --> 00:09:08,382
Doesn't matter to me. I can't be there.
I've got a date with Rita.
178
00:09:09,489 --> 00:09:12,858
Well, Mom's probably right.
I couldn't stand up to a seal.
179
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,860
I don't really deserve
a medal or a party.
180
00:09:14,962 --> 00:09:17,897
No, you deserve this.
Here, take my business card.
181
00:09:17,998 --> 00:09:20,762
No, no. It's pronounced "a-nalra-pist."
182
00:09:20,868 --> 00:09:22,961
It wasn't really the pronunciation
that bothered me.
183
00:09:23,070 --> 00:09:26,528
You see, Buster, it wasn't the seal
that you couldn't stand up to.
184
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,733
It was Lucille.
185
00:09:28,843 --> 00:09:31,676
Oh, I'm getting chills.
186
00:09:31,779 --> 00:09:34,407
If this was a Lifetime
moment of truth movie...
187
00:09:34,515 --> 00:09:36,415
this would be our act break.
188
00:09:37,517 --> 00:09:39,645
But it wasn't.
189
00:09:39,753 --> 00:09:43,052
And later, Lindsay was
on the phone with Bob Loblaw.
190
00:09:43,157 --> 00:09:46,354
I love Tobias, but he's
never fulfilled me sexually.
191
00:09:46,460 --> 00:09:48,428
Can you catalog
for me the various ways...
192
00:09:48,529 --> 00:09:50,429
you'd been promised to be fulfilled...
193
00:09:50,531 --> 00:09:52,692
whether or not said promise
was made explicit?
194
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,927
- You want me to be explicit?
- Yes.
195
00:09:55,035 --> 00:09:57,333
But I will be needing
to get off in four minutes.
196
00:09:57,438 --> 00:10:01,067
Well, let's see if I can't
hit that target for you.
197
00:10:01,175 --> 00:10:03,666
The next day,
on the way to pick up Rita...
198
00:10:03,777 --> 00:10:08,646
Michael stopped by his house to make sure
there were no signs of his family...
199
00:10:08,749 --> 00:10:10,876
only to discover there was nothing but.
200
00:10:10,985 --> 00:10:13,920
- What the hell is all this?
- Gob brought all this stuff in.
201
00:10:14,021 --> 00:10:16,251
And, Mom, what is with
all the family photos?
202
00:10:16,357 --> 00:10:19,417
Oh, I'm teaching Buster
to stand up for himself.
203
00:10:19,527 --> 00:10:22,655
- I'm surrogating your mother.
- By wearing her sealskin coat?
204
00:10:22,763 --> 00:10:25,926
Michael, I have tried on everything,
and nothing seems to be working.
205
00:10:26,033 --> 00:10:29,127
I thought the Donna Karan worked.
You just didn't have the right shoes.
206
00:10:29,236 --> 00:10:32,933
Look, I've gotta get rid of any evidence
of my family, including you guys.
207
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,940
Get outta here!
208
00:10:35,042 --> 00:10:37,476
See? Now, that's how
you stand up to Mother.
209
00:10:37,578 --> 00:10:39,546
Meanwhile, worried about Steve Holt's...
210
00:10:39,647 --> 00:10:42,480
sexual expectations,
Maeby tried to cancel her date.
211
00:10:42,583 --> 00:10:45,643
My whole family and I now have
to go to my grandma's house...
212
00:10:45,753 --> 00:10:47,653
- because my uncle lost his hand.
- Awesome!
213
00:10:47,755 --> 00:10:49,780
So you and I can party
alone at your house.
214
00:10:49,890 --> 00:10:52,484
Maeby was too young
to know what to do.
215
00:10:52,593 --> 00:10:56,188
Ironically, in her after-school job
as a movie studio executive...
216
00:10:56,297 --> 00:10:59,960
she’d just green-lit two films
that dealt with the very issue.
217
00:11:00,067 --> 00:11:02,797
- Rock the house.
- All right.
218
00:11:02,903 --> 00:11:05,371
George Michael also
didn't know what to do.
219
00:11:05,472 --> 00:11:08,600
If he pointed out that the two
were cousins to drive them apart...
220
00:11:08,709 --> 00:11:12,008
he might be burning the very bridge
that he one day hoped to cross.
221
00:11:12,112 --> 00:11:14,580
- I'm doing your cousin tonight.
- So are you.
222
00:11:14,682 --> 00:11:17,913
- What?
- She's your cousin too.
223
00:11:18,018 --> 00:11:21,545
Back at the penthouse,
party preparations were under way.
224
00:11:21,655 --> 00:11:25,022
He's not wearing that to the party.
I've got the exact same thing.
225
00:11:25,125 --> 00:11:27,525
No, he was just "analraping" me.
Then Michael barged in...
226
00:11:27,628 --> 00:11:30,324
and kicked us out so he
could shred all the evidence.
227
00:11:30,431 --> 00:11:32,865
- Shred the evidence?
- I thought he didn't want us to do that.
228
00:11:32,967 --> 00:11:36,425
He didn't want us to get into trouble.
He's taking the heat.
229
00:11:36,537 --> 00:11:40,166
He's doing that for us?
And on the night of his date with Rita.
230
00:11:40,274 --> 00:11:42,902
Who he didn't want to bring over here.
Probably because...
231
00:11:43,010 --> 00:11:46,070
let's face it... you people haven't been
great with the others.
232
00:11:46,180 --> 00:11:48,944
Well, in our defense, Mom,
we're not exactly dog people.
233
00:11:49,049 --> 00:11:52,109
- We've got to start being nicer.
- I'm starting right now.
234
00:11:52,219 --> 00:11:54,551
- Buster, the party's not for you anymore.
- Oh, okay.
235
00:11:54,655 --> 00:11:57,522
It's a "welcome Rita" party.
236
00:11:57,625 --> 00:12:00,025
I know where she works.
We can pick her up and surprise her.
237
00:12:00,127 --> 00:12:03,756
You're so right.
This is better than a party for me.
238
00:12:03,864 --> 00:12:06,628
Oh, come on. Grow a pair.
239
00:12:08,569 --> 00:12:12,665
You know, we need some weather balloons
for this party, and maybe a tank of hydrogen.
240
00:12:12,773 --> 00:12:15,640
You know, really float those suckers.
241
00:12:15,743 --> 00:12:17,711
Meanwhile, Michael was hiding the evidence...
242
00:12:17,811 --> 00:12:20,541
wherever he could
when he heard from his brother.
243
00:12:20,648 --> 00:12:24,015
Hey, friend. Gob here.
We really want you at the party.
244
00:12:24,118 --> 00:12:28,145
We're really nice now.
And, God, we love you.
245
00:12:28,255 --> 00:12:30,746
Damn it.
246
00:12:30,858 --> 00:12:33,383
And the family picked up
Rita in the only vehicle...
247
00:12:33,494 --> 00:12:35,792
- big enough to hold them all.
- Hey, hey. Excuse me. Rita?
248
00:12:35,896 --> 00:12:39,491
- I'm Rita.
- We're here to pick you up for Michael.
249
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,727
Uh, you can just go in the cabin.
250
00:12:45,906 --> 00:12:49,307
- Michael?
- Oh, he's not here.
251
00:12:49,410 --> 00:12:52,777
- We're his family.
- Oh, his family.
252
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,974
- We're nice.
- I'm sorry. I have to leave.
253
00:12:56,083 --> 00:12:58,415
Oh, no, you cannot leave.
Drive, Lindsay!
254
00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:01,488
- Bye!
- We're doing this for Michael.
255
00:13:01,588 --> 00:13:03,818
- Stop her, Buster.
- What am I supposed to do?
256
00:13:03,924 --> 00:13:07,087
- Stop her! - Stop yelling at me!
- I'm leaving!
257
00:13:07,194 --> 00:13:09,628
And that's when Buster
noticed the seal on Rita's backpack.
258
00:13:17,137 --> 00:13:20,334
Hey, talk about cathartic.
Now, that's an act break.
259
00:13:24,743 --> 00:13:27,143
Buster had overcome his fear of seals.
260
00:13:27,245 --> 00:13:30,840
Unfortunately, he'd done so by
knocking out Michael's new girlfriend.
261
00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:33,417
- What the hell did you do?
- You curious, Mom?
262
00:13:33,518 --> 00:13:36,316
- I can show you.
- Uh, you made a mistake.
263
00:13:36,421 --> 00:13:39,219
You're human.
Except for the hand.
264
00:13:39,324 --> 00:13:42,691
It's okay. She's alive.
And soft. Soft and alive.
265
00:13:42,794 --> 00:13:46,093
All right, let's not add that
to the charges. What'll we do?
266
00:13:46,197 --> 00:13:48,722
She's gonna tell Michael.
And he won't hear the good stuff.
267
00:13:48,833 --> 00:13:50,994
He'll just hear about the beating.
268
00:13:51,102 --> 00:13:54,333
Wait. Maybe we can give her
a "forget-me-now." Here you go, hot dog.
269
00:13:54,439 --> 00:13:56,907
- Take the pill.
- What's a forget-me-now?
270
00:13:57,008 --> 00:13:59,442
They're pills that create
a sort of temporary "forgettiness."
271
00:13:59,544 --> 00:14:02,877
If somebody finds out how you do a trick, you
give them one, and they forget the whole thing.
272
00:14:02,981 --> 00:14:05,211
- Oh.
- It's a mainstay of the magician's tool kit.
273
00:14:05,316 --> 00:14:07,682
Like how clowns always have
a rag soaked in ether.
274
00:14:07,786 --> 00:14:10,687
Gob, this is flunitrazepam.
It's a roofie.
275
00:14:10,789 --> 00:14:13,280
- Those are illegal!
- Shut up, Mom.
276
00:14:13,391 --> 00:14:15,450
Don't make me give you
another one of these.
277
00:14:17,061 --> 00:14:20,030
Lindsay, help me! Three!
278
00:14:23,668 --> 00:14:26,102
Back at the house,
Michael finished his work...
279
00:14:26,204 --> 00:14:28,138
and, now late,
rushed to pick up Rita.
280
00:14:28,239 --> 00:14:32,699
Moments later, Maeby prepared to tell
Steve she wasn't ready for romance.
281
00:14:32,811 --> 00:14:35,245
Well, this sends a mixed message.
282
00:14:35,346 --> 00:14:38,110
Just as Steve showed up
to call things off with his cousin.
283
00:14:38,216 --> 00:14:40,878
- You did all this for me?
- Yes.
284
00:14:40,985 --> 00:14:44,318
Well, I'm gonna go get sexy.
285
00:14:47,025 --> 00:14:49,585
And Michael missed Rita.
286
00:14:51,696 --> 00:14:54,927
Damn it. Strike two.
287
00:14:56,033 --> 00:14:58,662
Take it down. We don't want
anything that says Rita.
288
00:14:58,770 --> 00:15:01,671
Hi. It's Michael.
I will be coming to the party...
289
00:15:01,773 --> 00:15:04,765
because I love you too.
290
00:15:04,876 --> 00:15:07,401
Okay. We need a new banner.
291
00:15:07,512 --> 00:15:10,208
And that's when Michael found Rita.
292
00:15:10,315 --> 00:15:12,215
Rita.
293
00:15:12,317 --> 00:15:14,842
- Why am I on a bus bench, Michael?
- I get it.
294
00:15:14,953 --> 00:15:18,946
I'm sorry. But the rest of the night's
gonna be all about you, I promise.
295
00:15:19,057 --> 00:15:20,957
Great. Great.
296
00:15:21,059 --> 00:15:23,254
I am gonna have to make one quick stop,
maybe you'd just wait in the car.
297
00:15:23,361 --> 00:15:25,852
It's just gonna be
two seconds, I promise.
298
00:15:25,964 --> 00:15:28,797
And so Michael raced up to pay
his quick respects to Buster.
299
00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:31,596
Ah, there he is...
my favorite son.
300
00:15:31,703 --> 00:15:34,001
- Everybody's favorite son!
- Mr. Wonderful!
301
00:15:34,105 --> 00:15:37,438
Well, I had a great time.
I wish I could've stayed longer.
302
00:15:37,542 --> 00:15:40,602
This is a great party, huh?
Tell Buster I stopped by, please.
303
00:15:40,712 --> 00:15:42,703
- I do have to leave.
- Oh, no, no, no.
304
00:15:42,814 --> 00:15:45,874
The party is not for Buster anymore.
305
00:15:45,984 --> 00:15:47,884
- No, Michael. It's for you.
- Me.
306
00:15:47,986 --> 00:15:50,784
Take a look at banner, Michael!
307
00:15:50,889 --> 00:15:54,655
You guys did all of this for me?
"Family love"...
308
00:15:54,759 --> 00:15:57,819
- Michael?
- Everyone froze.
309
00:15:57,929 --> 00:16:01,456
Michael feared he'd been caught
in a lie about his family.
310
00:16:01,566 --> 00:16:03,625
His family feared
they'd been caught...
311
00:16:03,735 --> 00:16:07,535
by a woman they clubbed,
drugged and left on a bench.
312
00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:09,539
It was awkward.
313
00:16:09,641 --> 00:16:12,439
- Who's this?
- Mother! Mother!
314
00:16:12,544 --> 00:16:15,604
This is from the army.
I have to report for duty tomorrow!
315
00:16:15,713 --> 00:16:17,977
It says by accepting this
medal, I was reenlisting.
316
00:16:18,082 --> 00:16:19,982
I didn't hear them say that.
317
00:16:20,084 --> 00:16:22,609
Perhaps if the sergeant had
spoken more slowly, she would have.
318
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,450
In acceptance of this medal, you proudly waive
all rights to private citizenship...
319
00:16:25,557 --> 00:16:28,082
and hereby reenlist in the armed services
of the United States.
320
00:16:28,192 --> 00:16:30,092
If you agree with this,
say thank you.
321
00:16:30,194 --> 00:16:32,560
Thank you.
322
00:16:32,664 --> 00:16:35,827
What am I gonna do?
I can't go back there. I've never been!
323
00:16:35,934 --> 00:16:39,062
- Who are these people?
- This is my family.
324
00:16:39,170 --> 00:16:41,604
No. No.
I don't like these people.
325
00:16:41,706 --> 00:16:44,675
Me. You mean... She means me.
Because I lied...
326
00:16:44,776 --> 00:16:48,678
about having a family, because
I was embarrassed by them.
327
00:16:48,780 --> 00:16:50,680
And I'm ashamed of that.
328
00:16:50,782 --> 00:16:52,682
I have to leave.
329
00:16:55,620 --> 00:16:57,451
Strike three.
330
00:16:57,555 --> 00:17:00,683
You said you didn't have a family?
331
00:17:00,792 --> 00:17:04,023
- Everybody's favorite son.
- Mr. Terrible.
332
00:17:06,564 --> 00:17:08,464
And her?
Too good for us? Huh.
333
00:17:08,566 --> 00:17:10,761
Buster, you should've
finished the job.
334
00:17:10,868 --> 00:17:14,133
- Job? What job?
- Did I say job? I meant Gob.
335
00:17:14,238 --> 00:17:17,571
Buster's the one that hit her.
I just gave her the roofie.
336
00:17:17,675 --> 00:17:19,438
- Roofie?
- Forget-me-now.
337
00:17:19,544 --> 00:17:21,444
You beat and drugged Rita?
338
00:17:24,349 --> 00:17:25,941
- Take this and love us again.
- No, no, no!
339
00:17:26,050 --> 00:17:28,109
- Just take it!
- No, Gob!
340
00:17:28,219 --> 00:17:30,483
Um, I'm leaving too.
341
00:17:32,156 --> 00:17:36,217
Well, no good deed
goes unpunished.
342
00:17:36,327 --> 00:17:38,295
Oh, look, it's not all bad.
343
00:17:38,396 --> 00:17:42,127
I got Buster feeling
better about his... medal.
344
00:17:42,233 --> 00:17:45,293
Not anymore.
I'm getting rid of this thing.
345
00:17:45,403 --> 00:17:48,668
It has caused me nothing
but pride and self-respect!
346
00:17:48,773 --> 00:17:50,900
Buster went to get rid of the medal...
347
00:17:51,009 --> 00:17:52,943
he finally felt he deserved...
348
00:17:53,044 --> 00:17:55,979
but it was exactly when George Sr.
was making his escape.
349
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,241
Farewell to you all!
350
00:18:01,185 --> 00:18:04,746
But it turns out that hydrogen
is more explosive than helium.
351
00:18:14,432 --> 00:18:17,595
And George Michael came home
to find an unconscious Steve Holt.
352
00:18:17,702 --> 00:18:20,603
- What have you guys been doing?
- I gave him a roofie.
353
00:18:20,705 --> 00:18:22,639
A girl's gotta grow up sometime.
354
00:18:22,740 --> 00:18:25,106
- He's your cousin!
- My cousin?
355
00:18:25,209 --> 00:18:29,543
I should have told you that. Now you've
drugged him and had your way with him.
356
00:18:29,647 --> 00:18:33,378
- How is that even possible?
- No, George Michael. We didn't do anything.
357
00:18:33,484 --> 00:18:35,975
I just wanted him to think
we did. Don't you see?
358
00:18:36,087 --> 00:18:38,715
I drugged him not to go
all the way with him.
359
00:18:38,823 --> 00:18:42,384
Well, I think even the antidrug people
are gonna be okay with that.
360
00:18:42,493 --> 00:18:45,894
- Well, let's get his pants back on.
- You took his pants off?
361
00:18:45,997 --> 00:18:48,295
And Michael tried to salvage...
362
00:18:48,399 --> 00:18:50,731
the remains of the files
from the car fire.
363
00:18:50,835 --> 00:18:53,429
- You call the attorney?
- Yeah, but he's not taking our calls...
364
00:18:53,538 --> 00:18:55,631
because apparently
the retainer is all used up.
365
00:18:55,740 --> 00:18:58,402
He took my call.
He's very good.
366
00:18:58,509 --> 00:19:00,568
Yeah, that's how the retainer
got eaten up, okay?
367
00:19:00,678 --> 00:19:02,646
The secretary took it all
down here on a transcript.
368
00:19:02,747 --> 00:19:05,147
Ugh. She's very good too.
369
00:19:05,249 --> 00:19:08,082
- I'm not paying for this.
- Well, what am I supposed to do?
370
00:19:08,186 --> 00:19:12,555
I don't know, Lindsay. Thing you say on page
seven looks like it could be worth some money.
371
00:19:15,593 --> 00:19:17,925
- Speaking to me yet?
- It's only been an hour.
372
00:19:18,029 --> 00:19:22,227
Here's what I don't understand. What were
you guys doing with Rita in the first place?
373
00:19:22,333 --> 00:19:24,927
We just wanted to do
something nice for you, Michael...
374
00:19:25,036 --> 00:19:27,436
'cause you do so much for us.
375
00:19:27,538 --> 00:19:29,438
I guess we screwed it up.
376
00:19:29,540 --> 00:19:32,441
No, I screwed it up, 'cause
I was trying to impress her.
377
00:19:32,543 --> 00:19:34,909
Let's face it.
She's probably too good for me.
378
00:19:35,012 --> 00:19:38,345
No. What you need to do
is go to her and ask for another chance.
379
00:19:38,449 --> 00:19:41,179
She'd be lucky
to have you, Michael.
380
00:19:43,521 --> 00:19:46,285
Thanks, Gob.
Sometimes you do surprise me.
381
00:19:46,390 --> 00:19:48,858
I've got one more surprise for you.
382
00:19:51,195 --> 00:19:53,254
It ain't easy being wh...
383
00:19:53,364 --> 00:19:55,855
And Michael did try again with Rita...
384
00:19:55,967 --> 00:19:58,595
but this time determined
to keep no secrets.
385
00:19:58,703 --> 00:20:01,797
I wanna tell you everything,
if... if you're willing to listen.
386
00:20:01,906 --> 00:20:05,069
I'm a very good listener.
387
00:20:05,176 --> 00:20:08,543
Great. We'll start
with the misdemeanors...
388
00:20:08,646 --> 00:20:12,047
and then we're gonna push
right on through to the lighter treasons.
389
00:20:12,150 --> 00:20:14,345
So, 1983...
390
00:20:14,452 --> 00:20:17,216
For British eyes only...
391
00:20:19,991 --> 00:20:22,391
On the next Arrested Development.
392
00:20:22,493 --> 00:20:25,394
Lindsay tries to work off
her debt with Bob Loblaw.
393
00:20:25,496 --> 00:20:27,555
I'm willing to debase myself.
394
00:20:27,665 --> 00:20:31,294
Get a maid's uniform
and come by my house around 7:00.
395
00:20:31,402 --> 00:20:32,733
No way to misinterpret that.
396
00:20:32,837 --> 00:20:34,737
Except the one.
397
00:20:38,843 --> 00:20:41,744
And a traumatized Steve Holt
needs a father.
398
00:20:41,846 --> 00:20:44,747
I've made a huge mistake.
399
00:20:46,951 --> 00:20:50,182
I know the feeling.
I had you.
400
00:20:51,422 --> 00:20:53,583
I'm your father, Steve Holt.
401
00:20:53,691 --> 00:20:55,784
I can't hide from it anymore.
402
00:20:55,893 --> 00:20:59,294
I won't forget this, Dad.
403
00:21:06,671 --> 00:21:09,435
I will.
404
00:21:12,777 --> 00:21:14,677
I will.
