1
00:00:00,642 --> 00:00:03,610
Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything

2
00:00:03,664 --> 00:00:07,219
and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together.

3
00:00:13,261 --> 00:00:14,992
It's... Arrested Development

4
00:00:18,306 --> 00:00:21,443
Michael Bluth had set up a meeting with Cal Cullen,

5
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,556
owner of one of the largest parcels of land in Orange County.

6
00:00:24,632 --> 00:00:27,402
Well, I hope that I can prove to you that we have a very impressive company.

7
00:00:27,561 --> 00:00:31,917
Well, your family did not come off well on last night's Scandalmakers.

8
00:00:31,984 --> 00:00:36,132
Scandalmakers was a show that reenacted headline-grabbing stories.

9
00:00:36,235 --> 00:00:38,298
The latest was about the Bluth family,

10
00:00:38,365 --> 00:00:40,667
the rights of which had been signed away by Tobias,

11
00:00:40,741 --> 00:00:43,535
in exchange for the part of George Sr.

12
00:00:43,745 --> 00:00:47,463
When allegations surfaced that he'd illegally built homes in Iraq,

13
00:00:47,570 --> 00:00:52,265
George Bluth Sr., assisted by his secretary, Kitty, escaped the country...

14
00:00:52,326 --> 00:00:56,367
Due to poor acting, the burden of the story was placed on the narrator.

15
00:00:56,422 --> 00:01:00,253
...only to be found hiding under one of the homes that he himself built.

16
00:01:00,309 --> 00:01:02,960
He was actually found in a hole near the house,

17
00:01:03,018 --> 00:01:08,275
but this inattention to detail was typical of the laziness the show's narrator was known for.

18
00:01:08,352 --> 00:01:12,696
I cannot survive under the house. Perhaps an attic shall I seek.

19
00:01:12,778 --> 00:01:15,102
Real shoddy narrating. Just pure crap.

20
00:01:15,163 --> 00:01:18,154
But we're back on track, and we are scandal free.

21
00:01:18,260 --> 00:01:19,115
Hey!

22
00:01:19,755 --> 00:01:22,002
You start the meeting without me?

23
00:01:22,137 --> 00:01:25,868
Mother, uh, this is Cal Cullen. You remember my mother, Lucille.

24
00:01:26,047 --> 00:01:31,060
We're right in the middle of talking about this exciting giveaway spa package to entice buyers.

25
00:01:31,132 --> 00:01:33,139
You know, he's never taken me anywhere.

26
00:01:33,210 --> 00:01:36,313
Oh, no, we have to live "high and dry."

27
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,828
Well, you're certainly not dry.

28
00:01:39,017 --> 00:01:42,156
Michael, I'm not a prude, but it's 1:00 in the afternoon.

29
00:01:42,222 --> 00:01:43,237
Is your mother drunk?

30
00:01:43,354 --> 00:01:46,103
I'd have to get up pretty early to get drunk by 1:00.

31
00:01:46,709 --> 00:01:50,563
As it turns out, she had gotten up early and had taken pain medication

32
00:01:50,618 --> 00:01:52,958
because of a hangover-related headache.

33
00:01:53,162 --> 00:01:56,785
However, she mistook the "drowsy eye" alcohol warning

34
00:01:56,916 --> 00:01:59,810
for a "winking-eye" alcohol suggestion.

35
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,474
Fortunately, she had the good sense not to drive herself to the meeting.

36
00:02:04,540 --> 00:02:06,486
No. I'll call for a car.

37
00:02:07,188 --> 00:02:10,741
Unfortunately, this was after a failed attempt to do so.

38
00:02:12,438 --> 00:02:13,996
Who the hell put...?

39
00:02:14,078 --> 00:02:15,190
Michael, I'm sorry.

40
00:02:15,283 --> 00:02:17,049
I cannot do business with you.

41
00:02:17,140 --> 00:02:20,044
I mean, I couldn't afford to end up on Scandalmakers.

42
00:02:20,121 --> 00:02:23,208
Oh, you could afford to do anything you want. You're just a big chicken.

43
00:02:23,464 --> 00:02:24,821
Uh-Coodle-Doodle-Doo...

44
00:02:24,958 --> 00:02:27,575
Uh-Coodle-Doodle-Doo, Uh-Coodle-Doodle-Doo...

45
00:02:27,714 --> 00:02:28,563
Uh-Coo...

46
00:02:30,038 --> 00:02:34,503
Michael realized that it might be time to deal with his mother's apparent problem.

47
00:02:34,576 --> 00:02:37,478
Okay, that seems as good a place as any to end the meeting.

48
00:02:40,842 --> 00:02:45,455
No, I am not doing another intervention with her. Last time I felt terrible for a week.

49
00:02:45,633 --> 00:02:48,922
One year earlier the family had tried an intervention.

50
00:02:49,183 --> 00:02:50,621
Are you pouring a drink? What are you doing?

51
00:02:50,877 --> 00:02:51,753
What if she's mad?

52
00:02:51,997 --> 00:02:52,828
Good point.

53
00:02:53,018 --> 00:02:54,758
Perhaps I'll have a little sip of something.

54
00:02:54,921 --> 00:02:56,883
Guys, what could she do to us?

55
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,298
Do we have anything single malt?

56
00:03:00,622 --> 00:03:03,374
And although the intervention didn't work...

57
00:03:03,825 --> 00:03:05,859
- We think you have a prollen.
- You're a mesh...

58
00:03:05,950 --> 00:03:09,611
... it turned into one of the Bluth family's better parties.

59
00:03:18,169 --> 00:03:20,087
Well, maybe an intervention is the wrong approach.

60
00:03:20,409 --> 00:03:23,061
What about rehab? She was just a mess at the meeting.

61
00:03:23,143 --> 00:03:24,121
Where were you, by the way?

62
00:03:24,203 --> 00:03:25,632
Yeah, I could've used your help with Mom.

63
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,936
I believe I told you I was gonna be out for the holidays.

64
00:03:28,135 --> 00:03:29,365
It's spring break.

65
00:03:29,799 --> 00:03:30,845
Not that I can enjoy it.

66
00:03:31,253 --> 00:03:33,839
My reputation has been ruined by that jerk Phillip Litt

67
00:03:33,908 --> 00:03:36,492
who put my one magic show flub on his DVD.

68
00:03:36,575 --> 00:03:39,799
Gob had performed a magic act at an earlier spring break

69
00:03:39,870 --> 00:03:45,109
to get exposure on the best-selling video series "Girls With Low Self-Esteem."

70
00:03:47,741 --> 00:03:49,343
...or two flubs, or whatever.

71
00:03:49,758 --> 00:03:53,767
There were seven flubs, and after the show, he signed a release.

72
00:03:54,074 --> 00:03:56,215
Now, you're not going to use the time that I screwed up, right?

73
00:03:56,347 --> 00:03:57,699
That wasn't part of the act?

74
00:03:57,901 --> 00:04:00,848
Oh, come on, man. I'd never do anything to embarrass you. Please...

75
00:04:03,587 --> 00:04:04,380
Oh...

76
00:04:05,482 --> 00:04:07,677
Uh, you don't know a good bird hospital, do you?

77
00:04:08,659 --> 00:04:09,710
You're getting all this, right?

78
00:04:09,802 --> 00:04:13,455
Well, at least the Orange County Register didn't say of your performance...

79
00:04:13,617 --> 00:04:17,620
"If this is who George Sr. is, let's hope he remains missing."

80
00:04:17,697 --> 00:04:22,911
Meanwhile, they loved Dave Attell's "risky choice" of wearing cutoffs while portraying me.

81
00:04:22,987 --> 00:04:28,127
In fact, Mr. Attell was portraying Tobias' actual "never-nude" affliction.

82
00:04:28,225 --> 00:04:30,657
But this perplexed the Scandalmakers audience,

83
00:04:30,713 --> 00:04:34,646
due to the unfocused nature of the narrator's explanation.

84
00:04:34,723 --> 00:04:35,910
No, I think mine's worse.

85
00:04:36,247 --> 00:04:38,137
You should have seen what happened to me on the boardwalk today.

86
00:04:38,208 --> 00:04:39,941
They were laughing at me. Me!

87
00:04:43,142 --> 00:04:44,834
Those tapes are awful.

88
00:04:44,901 --> 00:04:46,995
Women tricked into taking their tops off.

89
00:04:47,072 --> 00:04:49,438
I have a daughter I don't want corrupted by the media.

90
00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:53,922
Unbeknownst to Lindsay, Maeby was a fairly prominent member of the media

91
00:04:53,994 --> 00:04:58,112
as she had secretly conned her way into a job as a film executive.

92
00:04:58,187 --> 00:05:00,102
This Young Man on the Beach script sucks.

93
00:05:00,220 --> 00:05:02,334
She goes with a guy just because he says she's awesome?

94
00:05:02,396 --> 00:05:03,496
You call that dialogue?

95
00:05:03,589 --> 00:05:04,674
Hey, I didn't write it.

96
00:05:04,751 --> 00:05:06,186
No, but you're gonna fix it.

97
00:05:06,251 --> 00:05:08,751
It's a spring break movie. Get down there and find out what they sound like.

98
00:05:08,823 --> 00:05:11,781
Oh, yeah, right. Do you really think I look college-aged?

99
00:05:11,908 --> 00:05:12,913
I'm not drunk.

100
00:05:13,471 --> 00:05:15,181
But I'm willing to be. Hint.

101
00:05:15,501 --> 00:05:18,811
Oh, Mort. You're going to be so easy to blackmail. Hint.

102
00:05:22,538 --> 00:05:26,645
This pig Phillip Litt is out there asking girls to take their tops off.

103
00:05:26,696 --> 00:05:27,832
It's an outrage.

104
00:05:28,124 --> 00:05:30,731
Well, of course you feel that way. You're jealous.

105
00:05:30,812 --> 00:05:33,582
You're a surfboard. But, I do agree, he is a pig...

106
00:05:34,094 --> 00:05:35,763
Hey, what the hell was that for?

107
00:05:35,866 --> 00:05:38,530
Can we stop worrying about Girls with Low Self-Esteem,

108
00:05:38,595 --> 00:05:41,386
and start focusing on sobering up the woman who gave us ours?

109
00:05:41,452 --> 00:05:43,279
No, seriously what do you think about rehab?

110
00:05:43,526 --> 00:05:45,886
Well, she won't go willingly, I can tell you that.

111
00:05:45,962 --> 00:05:47,416
May I make a suggestion?

112
00:05:47,978 --> 00:05:49,803
Get implants. Really.

113
00:05:49,902 --> 00:05:51,933
What...?! Come on, this stuff is expensive.

114
00:05:52,112 --> 00:05:55,547
And so Michael set out to convince his mother that she needed help.

115
00:05:55,619 --> 00:05:58,050
Hello? Hello? I have a surprise for you.

116
00:05:58,409 --> 00:06:00,370
- Did I win the prize?
- You won the prize!

117
00:06:00,447 --> 00:06:02,408
I won the prize! I won the prize!

118
00:06:03,691 --> 00:06:04,506
For what?

119
00:06:04,595 --> 00:06:08,608
We were going to give one employee a week at the spa. We were even going to put them in the ad.

120
00:06:08,649 --> 00:06:11,466
But then I thought, "What about Mom? She's elegant, she deserves it."

121
00:06:11,536 --> 00:06:13,555
I was going to tell you at the office, but then I thought

122
00:06:13,606 --> 00:06:17,333
"No... if I bring her around now, she might vomit on the overhead projector.

123
00:06:17,402 --> 00:06:19,202
Let's just wait until she's crawling around on her own."

124
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,851
I'm so embarrassed about that.

125
00:06:20,941 --> 00:06:23,478
I don't think I was supposed to drink with my medication.

126
00:06:23,636 --> 00:06:26,017
Actually, it wasn't even her medication.

127
00:06:26,077 --> 00:06:28,772
Of course, I can't take Oscar to an elegant place.

128
00:06:28,908 --> 00:06:32,284
His only remaining pair of pants blew apart the other day.

129
00:06:32,432 --> 00:06:34,725
I was thinking that I would go with you for the week.

130
00:06:35,402 --> 00:06:36,933
So, what, I just stay here alone?

131
00:06:37,030 --> 00:06:39,641
I'm not exactly equipped to run this place by myself.

132
00:06:39,748 --> 00:06:41,823
You can't just leave me here alone!

133
00:06:44,126 --> 00:06:45,237
Have a great trip.

134
00:06:45,817 --> 00:06:48,524
But it wouldn't turn out to be a great trip at all.

135
00:06:48,591 --> 00:06:50,674
Hello, welcome to Shady Pines Rehab.

136
00:06:50,736 --> 00:06:52,532
Rehab?! This isn't a spa?

137
00:06:52,656 --> 00:06:54,069
This isn't a spa!

138
00:06:54,552 --> 00:06:56,537
- Get her! Ma! 
- We got a runner.

139
00:06:56,614 --> 00:06:59,414
As Michael's mother was being held against her will,

140
00:06:59,558 --> 00:07:03,203
George Sr. was about to be confronted with a similar problem.

141
00:07:03,285 --> 00:07:05,425
Kitty? How did you find me?

142
00:07:05,502 --> 00:07:09,420
I thought you were dead, until I saw Scandalmakers.

143
00:07:09,705 --> 00:07:13,269
They got so much wrong, but something about your son-in-law's comment...

144
00:07:13,346 --> 00:07:15,927
Perhaps an attic shall I seek...

145
00:07:16,014 --> 00:07:17,514
...had the ring of truth to it.

146
00:07:17,575 --> 00:07:20,048
Notice it wasn't something the narrator said.

147
00:07:20,115 --> 00:07:23,591
You abandoned me in Mexico.

148
00:07:23,678 --> 00:07:25,112
Kitty, honey, I-I know you're mad.

149
00:07:25,179 --> 00:07:26,222
Stop talking, George!

150
00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:27,806
You stop talking!

151
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,439
I am in charge now.

152
00:07:29,865 --> 00:07:31,313
You're coming with me.

153
00:07:31,389 --> 00:07:34,205
No, I can't. I can't. I have... I have a life here.

154
00:07:34,282 --> 00:07:36,662
There are people who-who depend on me.

155
00:07:37,492 --> 00:07:38,235
Fine.

156
00:07:38,326 --> 00:07:42,930
But I can't make any promises about what happens to that cooler of evidence I have.

157
00:07:43,028 --> 00:07:46,269
If I could... just have a moment to say good-bye...

158
00:07:48,255 --> 00:07:53,288
Meanwhile, at the banana stand, Maeby was hoping to find some witty banter

159
00:07:53,350 --> 00:07:55,690
with which to authenticate her feature film.

160
00:07:55,797 --> 00:07:57,435
I want the hot chick to serve me.

161
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,534
What other words would you use to describe me?

162
00:07:59,601 --> 00:08:01,725
Um, she's 15. And she's my cousin.

163
00:08:02,216 --> 00:08:02,811
So?

164
00:08:02,985 --> 00:08:05,499
So, you can't touch your cousin-- my cousin.

165
00:08:07,132 --> 00:08:09,400
You know, you don't have to stick around. I could just work late tonight.

166
00:08:09,451 --> 00:08:12,549
It doesn't matter, 'cause, you know, my girlfriend Ann, she's out of town.

167
00:08:12,625 --> 00:08:14,228
Which is actually kind of lucky in the end,

168
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,590
'cause all these guys would be coming on to her.

169
00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:20,235
Yeah, you really dodged a bullet there.

170
00:08:20,701 --> 00:08:23,957
Nearby, Phillip Litt was making his latest video.

171
00:08:24,018 --> 00:08:26,789
Okay, everybody, gather around, gather around. Ladies, here's the deal.

172
00:08:26,861 --> 00:08:29,318
We have hats. You have breasts.

173
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,017
You show your breasts, you get a hat, okay?

174
00:08:32,098 --> 00:08:35,197
So, if anybody wants to get back at daddy... now's the time.

175
00:08:35,287 --> 00:08:36,363
Whoo!

176
00:08:37,198 --> 00:08:39,425
Wait. Cut, cut, cut. We've got a surfboard in the shot.

177
00:08:39,501 --> 00:08:40,566
Surfboard, stop tape.

178
00:08:40,644 --> 00:08:43,115
We're here to stop you from taking advantage of these girls.

179
00:08:44,783 --> 00:08:47,452
You know what? You're sassy, you're sexy. You speak your mind.

180
00:08:47,534 --> 00:08:49,732
There's nothing hotter. Give her a hat, Barry.

181
00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:52,266
I don't want a hat. I want you to leave these women alone.

182
00:08:52,343 --> 00:08:54,252
I'm giving them a chance to be idolized,

183
00:08:54,314 --> 00:08:56,741
which is an opportunity these women are never gonna have again.

184
00:08:56,812 --> 00:08:57,989
I want to be idolized!

185
00:08:58,036 --> 00:09:00,371
- Yeah, you do!
- Eileen! Stop it!

186
00:09:00,457 --> 00:09:02,031
You've got nothing to gain from that! 

187
00:09:02,157 --> 00:09:04,231
That's easy for you to say. You already have a hat.

188
00:09:07,728 --> 00:09:10,790
This is no way to get your daddies to notice you!

189
00:09:10,866 --> 00:09:14,144
Nearby, Lindsay's own father  failed to notice her,

190
00:09:14,333 --> 00:09:17,196
as he was being taken to a local motel...

191
00:09:17,267 --> 00:09:19,995
where he refused her sexual advances.

192
00:09:20,052 --> 00:09:24,716
You promised me power and a child, and I have neither.

193
00:09:25,643 --> 00:09:28,879
I'm going to take care of this problem on my own.

194
00:09:32,908 --> 00:09:36,145
You never promise crazy a baby...

195
00:09:36,232 --> 00:09:39,672
George Sr. was abandoned, and longed for Lucille.

196
00:09:39,764 --> 00:09:41,633
And Buster felt the same way.

197
00:09:57,454 --> 00:10:01,729
Restless, Buster went to the kitchen to find something to help him sleep,

198
00:10:01,806 --> 00:10:05,647
when he came across Lucille's emergency stash of wine,

199
00:10:05,866 --> 00:10:08,729
which he mistook for a giant juice box.

200
00:10:08,830 --> 00:10:11,898
Mama's moving on Mama's all alone...

201
00:10:11,954 --> 00:10:16,353
It was the first taste of alcohol Buster had since he was nursing.

202
00:10:17,251 --> 00:10:18,305
Mama!

203
00:10:19,114 --> 00:10:21,714
And Michael, his mother no longer a threat,

204
00:10:21,866 --> 00:10:23,926
- met again with Cal Cullen.
- Thank you so much for your understanding, sir,

205
00:10:23,967 --> 00:10:27,960
and as I mentioned on the phone, she did seek help.

206
00:10:30,018 --> 00:10:34,181
And it was extremely moving when she finally admitted that she has a problem.

207
00:10:34,380 --> 00:10:36,432
They'll take good care of you here at Shady Pines, Mom.

208
00:10:36,584 --> 00:10:38,003
I'll take good care of you, you son of a...!

209
00:10:38,034 --> 00:10:41,938
Shady Pines is a wonderful facility. Up there on the hill.

210
00:10:42,020 --> 00:10:44,887
You know, they used to film Sugarfoot up there.

211
00:10:44,979 --> 00:10:47,580
- No! 
- Were you a fan of Sugarfoot?

212
00:10:47,672 --> 00:10:48,819
I loved it.

213
00:10:48,947 --> 00:10:53,258
Sugarfoot had been off the air 12 years before Michael was born,

214
00:10:53,345 --> 00:10:56,228
Well, sing the theme song of Sugarfoot along with me.

215
00:10:56,602 --> 00:10:58,757
- Sugarfoot 
- Yeah,  Sugarfoot

216
00:10:58,856 --> 00:11:00,181
- Sugarfoot 
- Yes.

217
00:11:00,257 --> 00:11:03,232
Easy lopin'  Cattle ropin' Sugarfoot

218
00:11:03,309 --> 00:11:05,823
- Carefree as the tumbleweeds... 
- Huchah!

219
00:11:05,915 --> 00:11:07,497
Oh, what the hell?

220
00:11:07,605 --> 00:11:08,746
You're a good kid.

221
00:11:09,038 --> 00:11:10,165
Let's make the deal.

222
00:11:10,421 --> 00:11:11,967
Oh, great. I've got paperwork...

223
00:11:12,039 --> 00:11:12,736
Michael!

224
00:11:12,817 --> 00:11:13,734
Remember me?

225
00:11:14,250 --> 00:11:17,471
- Perhaps this will jog your memory.
- Let's... Oh, they're crooked.

226
00:11:17,576 --> 00:11:21,291
I've kidnapped your father, Michael, and I have a cooler full of evidence

227
00:11:21,342 --> 00:11:24,088
that will bring down this corrupt company.

228
00:11:24,163 --> 00:11:27,706
Unless your mother meets me today at 4:00 at Senor Tadpoles.

229
00:11:29,202 --> 00:11:30,809
Spring break. Whoo!

230
00:11:36,686 --> 00:11:39,207
- Dad?
- Michael's father had just been kidnapped.

231
00:11:43,829 --> 00:11:47,608
And then he received a call that his brother had been found drunk.

232
00:11:47,700 --> 00:11:49,399
No, I'm fine. I'm telling you.

233
00:11:49,492 --> 00:11:52,897
For the first time, I realize that maybe I'm better off without her.

234
00:11:53,168 --> 00:11:54,539
Yeah, well, we've got to bring her back.

235
00:11:54,627 --> 00:11:55,702
Oh, thank God.

236
00:11:55,969 --> 00:11:58,498
So if we want to get that evidence back, and Dad,

237
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,597
Kitty is insisting on a meeting with Mom.

238
00:12:00,668 --> 00:12:01,748
What can Mom do for her?

239
00:12:01,825 --> 00:12:04,037
I don't know. I just... I gotta get my hands on  that evidence.

240
00:12:04,114 --> 00:12:05,624
The problem is, I just checked her in to rehab.

241
00:12:05,667 --> 00:12:08,390
They're not exactly going to let me check her out and take her to a bar.

242
00:12:08,471 --> 00:12:11,099
So, Gob, I need you to help me sneak her past the guards.

243
00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:14,140
Well, gee, I didn't think the woman I'd be checking out at spring break would be Mom.

244
00:12:14,201 --> 00:12:16,357
She's better looking than the whores you date.

245
00:12:16,418 --> 00:12:17,744
Don't call my escorts whores.

246
00:12:17,811 --> 00:12:20,110
- Mom's still got it!
- I don't date whores!

247
00:12:20,171 --> 00:12:23,996
Stop it, stop it. This objectification of women has to stop.

248
00:12:24,072 --> 00:12:25,198
It's just Mom and whores.

249
00:12:25,271 --> 00:12:27,864
No, how would you like it? Actually, that's not a bad idea.

250
00:12:27,912 --> 00:12:30,939
I should turn the tables on men and see how they like being objectified.

251
00:12:31,030 --> 00:12:33,907
Men with low self-esteem. Get their clothes off.

252
00:12:34,022 --> 00:12:35,208
That is a great...

253
00:12:36,056 --> 00:12:38,897
That is a great social statement.

254
00:12:39,004 --> 00:12:41,440
I shall get the video camera.

255
00:12:41,537 --> 00:12:42,899
This is ripe for parody.

256
00:12:43,129 --> 00:12:44,666
This is ripe.

257
00:12:46,191 --> 00:12:48,377
He just wants to see boys' Linuses.

258
00:12:48,669 --> 00:12:49,444
Oh, go...

259
00:12:53,374 --> 00:12:54,153
Here we go.

260
00:12:54,644 --> 00:12:57,476
And so Michael went back to see his mom.

261
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:02,509
I know that you're upset with me because I brought you here under false pretenses,

262
00:13:02,544 --> 00:13:04,229
but I really was worried about you.

263
00:13:04,315 --> 00:13:05,528
Oh, please.

264
00:13:05,596 --> 00:13:07,680
I've been drinking since before you were born.

265
00:13:07,746 --> 00:13:11,101
So if alcohol's the reason I'm here, I got news for you, bub,

266
00:13:11,185 --> 00:13:12,743
it's the only reason you're here, too.

267
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,073
Hey, you're mean sober, too.

268
00:13:15,309 --> 00:13:17,762
Uh, listen, I need your help.

269
00:13:17,848 --> 00:13:20,778
Kitty has shown up, and she got ahold of Dad.

270
00:13:20,844 --> 00:13:22,354
She found him in the attic?

271
00:13:22,773 --> 00:13:25,508
They had a rerun of Scandalmakers last night.

272
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:27,480
Everybody figured it out.

273
00:13:27,666 --> 00:13:29,506
She would like to meet you at a bar.

274
00:13:29,569 --> 00:13:33,485
She says she's got some evidence that could bring the business down if you don't go.

275
00:13:33,567 --> 00:13:35,691
You're sending me into a bar?

276
00:13:35,794 --> 00:13:38,855
Are you sure you can trust me to make decisions for myself?

277
00:13:38,938 --> 00:13:40,925
I just need you to find out what she wants, okay,

278
00:13:40,976 --> 00:13:43,259
while I check all the local motels for Dad.

279
00:13:43,336 --> 00:13:45,256
All right but here's what I want.

280
00:13:45,338 --> 00:13:47,513
A spa weekend with you-- a real one.

281
00:13:47,590 --> 00:13:49,973
I want to spend spring break with you.

282
00:13:51,841 --> 00:13:53,862
You have high self-esteem, right?

283
00:13:54,078 --> 00:13:56,325
Not after being in here. It's a nightmare.

284
00:13:56,423 --> 00:13:57,784
Michael. Mom.

285
00:13:58,251 --> 00:14:00,498
We've got to go now. I created a diversion.

286
00:14:00,581 --> 00:14:04,415
I'd like to check my uncle in for rehab.

287
00:14:04,487 --> 00:14:06,382
I thought we were buying pants.

288
00:14:06,459 --> 00:14:09,126
Of course you think that-- you're high as a kite.

289
00:14:09,193 --> 00:14:10,191
He needs help.

290
00:14:10,258 --> 00:14:11,384
He needs help.

291
00:14:11,619 --> 00:14:12,629
He needs help.

292
00:14:15,737 --> 00:14:20,191
And so Lucille was able to meet with Kitty at Senor Tadpoles.

293
00:14:20,257 --> 00:14:23,232
I want what's due to me--- a Bluth son.

294
00:14:23,314 --> 00:14:24,906
And I know you have the material.

295
00:14:24,976 --> 00:14:26,278
Kitty was right.

296
00:14:26,375 --> 00:14:31,195
Ten years earlier, George Sr. was taking an experimental hair growth drug.

297
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:36,236
Fearing damage to his fertility, he froze a specimen of his reproductive material

298
00:14:36,309 --> 00:14:39,007
in case he ever wanted another child.

299
00:14:39,877 --> 00:14:43,897
Soon, news came out that the drug, although somewhat successful,

300
00:14:44,183 --> 00:14:47,051
wreaked havoc on the central nervous system.

301
00:14:50,962 --> 00:14:52,370
So what do you need me for?

302
00:14:52,462 --> 00:14:54,459
He's not taking the monkey drug anymore.

303
00:14:54,536 --> 00:14:56,262
And you're the one who's got him, not me.

304
00:14:56,338 --> 00:14:57,593
Oh, you know why.

305
00:14:57,669 --> 00:15:00,839
He won't touch me. He said he doesn't cheat on his wife anymore.

306
00:15:01,284 --> 00:15:02,677
He said that?

307
00:15:02,944 --> 00:15:05,309
Drinking contest!

308
00:15:05,421 --> 00:15:06,394
Tell you what.

309
00:15:06,512 --> 00:15:07,889
I'll drink you for it.

310
00:15:07,955 --> 00:15:11,309
I heard you don't handle your booze so well anymore.

311
00:15:11,504 --> 00:15:13,208
So this should be easy for you.

312
00:15:17,657 --> 00:15:18,898
That one didn't count.

313
00:15:19,660 --> 00:15:22,732
And Michael met up with Gob to try and find their father.

314
00:15:22,809 --> 00:15:23,469
I got it.

315
00:15:23,552 --> 00:15:24,682
>From the banana stand freezer.

316
00:15:24,738 --> 00:15:27,596
The exact same kind of cooler that's in the photo with Dad.

317
00:15:27,749 --> 00:15:29,003
What do we need another cooler for?

318
00:15:29,091 --> 00:15:30,452
Oh, poor Michael.

319
00:15:30,642 --> 00:15:32,562
You do not think like a magician.

320
00:15:32,701 --> 00:15:34,487
Such a "How dey do dat."

321
00:15:34,626 --> 00:15:36,183
It's a classic bait and switch.

322
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:37,600
This is a decoy cooler.

323
00:15:37,790 --> 00:15:40,723
We take it in, switch it with the one from the photo and get out of there.

324
00:15:40,784 --> 00:15:43,561
Kitty comes back, everything's normal. It's like we were never there.

325
00:15:44,017 --> 00:15:46,079
- But Dad's gone.
- Long gone.

326
00:15:46,192 --> 00:15:47,860
But it buys us all the time in the world.

327
00:15:47,928 --> 00:15:51,122
I got it back, Mikey, the self-confidence. I am a magician.

328
00:15:51,189 --> 00:15:53,195
No, I'm saying, when Kitty comes back and notices that Dad's gone,

329
00:15:53,237 --> 00:15:56,288
the first thing she's going to do is check the cooler to see if the evidence is there.

330
00:15:56,361 --> 00:15:58,403
It buys us, like, one second.

331
00:15:58,511 --> 00:16:00,221
- I'm a worthless magician.
- Not true.

332
00:16:00,292 --> 00:16:02,125
- No, I can't even do one simple trick.
- Now come on, now, please.

333
00:16:02,183 --> 00:16:03,759
- I'm covered with sweat.
- Don't say that about yourself.

334
00:16:03,810 --> 00:16:07,419
It's a great trick. Would've been flawless if you had a decoy Dad, too.

335
00:16:07,501 --> 00:16:10,503
Damn it, and I used a guy who looked just like him in my last bait and switch.

336
00:16:16,385 --> 00:16:17,955
Well, I'm no longer needed here.

337
00:16:18,019 --> 00:16:20,230
No, no, no. I think the cooler's actually going to help us.

338
00:16:20,282 --> 00:16:22,790
The extra second that it buys us could be the difference.

339
00:16:22,897 --> 00:16:25,222
Great. Just give me a couple minutes to catch my breath.

340
00:16:32,318 --> 00:16:34,925
Lucille, minutes out of rehab,

341
00:16:35,052 --> 00:16:38,847
was engaging in a drinking contest at the behest of her son.

342
00:16:40,285 --> 00:16:41,980
Just let me know when you're ready, dear.

343
00:16:42,148 --> 00:16:43,152
She's mixing!

344
00:16:43,250 --> 00:16:44,642
While right outside the bar...

345
00:16:44,708 --> 00:16:46,741
I know what the shape of a banana reminds you of,

346
00:16:46,782 --> 00:16:49,793
and I know that when I say "nuts" it makes you giggle, but...

347
00:16:50,317 --> 00:16:53,663
do you have any other response to "Here's a banana with nuts?"

348
00:16:58,559 --> 00:17:00,965
Why are we even going after this idiot demographic?

349
00:17:01,037 --> 00:17:02,677
Maeby, don't you get it? They're not even eating these.

350
00:17:02,735 --> 00:17:06,070
They just like saying "bananas" and "nuts," and I won't... I won't tell you why.

351
00:17:06,136 --> 00:17:07,346
That's your father's job.

352
00:17:07,446 --> 00:17:09,931
Come on. Let's see some bananas and nuts.

353
00:17:10,048 --> 00:17:12,481
Oh, perhaps we should just pull their pants off.

354
00:17:12,557 --> 00:17:15,813
Hey. What the hell do you think you're doing? This is where we shoot.

355
00:17:15,896 --> 00:17:18,476
Yeah, well, you've got competition now, 'cause we're making our own video.

356
00:17:18,552 --> 00:17:20,483
Will you just get over it. It's nudity.

357
00:17:20,545 --> 00:17:23,575
Just because you're ashamed of your body, doesn't mean everyone should be.

358
00:17:23,683 --> 00:17:27,815
Oh, really? Well, let's see how you feel about what you're packing.

359
00:17:29,237 --> 00:17:31,029
You're a ( bleep ) never-nude?

360
00:17:31,660 --> 00:17:34,613
You're asking girls to take their tops off and you can't even be naked?

361
00:17:34,701 --> 00:17:35,889
I've got to get this.

362
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,588
Lindsay, I've already got it.

363
00:17:40,877 --> 00:17:42,202
I'm back in the cut-offs.

364
00:17:43,468 --> 00:17:44,224
Lindsay...

365
00:17:45,050 --> 00:17:46,216
I didn't see you at the convention.

366
00:17:46,282 --> 00:17:48,131
No, I was in Germany. I teleconferenced in.

367
00:17:48,775 --> 00:17:51,668
- Did you got to the seminar on chafing?
- Dr. Schoenweiss, yes.

368
00:17:51,858 --> 00:17:54,153
This is never going to work. There's too many people, too many rooms.

369
00:17:54,215 --> 00:17:56,450
Michael, we can't give up. This is important.

370
00:17:56,590 --> 00:18:00,501
Believe me, I'd rather be down at the beach, having drinks, howling at chicks.

371
00:18:03,235 --> 00:18:03,859
Dad?

372
00:18:06,017 --> 00:18:09,364
Oh, my boys. Yes, you came. You came for me.

373
00:18:09,436 --> 00:18:12,759
Yeah, hi, Dad. Gob's going to get you out of those handcuffs. Can you do it, pal?

374
00:18:12,897 --> 00:18:15,375
- One handcuff key coming up.
- Great.

375
00:18:19,716 --> 00:18:21,258
What the hell are you doing?

376
00:18:21,426 --> 00:18:23,423
I swallowed a key just in case I ended up doing a show.

377
00:18:23,985 --> 00:18:26,301
Come on. This is disgusting.

378
00:18:26,403 --> 00:18:27,525
I'm doing this for you.

379
00:18:27,638 --> 00:18:31,585
This continued for some time, while Michael switched out the coolers.

380
00:18:31,728 --> 00:18:32,609
I don't understand. Why you're switching out the coolers?

381
00:18:32,665 --> 00:18:34,969
- It buys us time, Dad.
- What, like a second?

382
00:18:35,041 --> 00:18:36,894
Don't worry about it, okay? I will tell you this--

383
00:18:36,982 --> 00:18:39,296
when I get this evidence out of here, I'm turning it right into the court.

384
00:18:39,362 --> 00:18:41,379
Are you kidding? I don't care if the evidence gets out there.

385
00:18:41,445 --> 00:18:42,547
It gets me off the hook.

386
00:18:42,624 --> 00:18:43,853
What are you saying, this exonerates you?

387
00:18:43,929 --> 00:18:45,886
I told you before I was a patsy.

388
00:18:45,922 --> 00:18:47,124
I was set up.

389
00:18:47,212 --> 00:18:49,137
I am tired of looking guilty.

390
00:18:50,729 --> 00:18:52,230
Well, that's... that's great.

391
00:18:55,767 --> 00:18:57,544
Now who's a horrible magician?

392
00:18:58,164 --> 00:19:00,451
That is a crown, you horse's ass.

393
00:19:01,723 --> 00:19:03,130
And how does that make you feel?

394
00:19:03,230 --> 00:19:04,082
Awesome.

395
00:19:04,190 --> 00:19:06,386
And George Michael caught up with Maeby,

396
00:19:06,525 --> 00:19:08,613
determined to save her self-esteem.

397
00:19:08,675 --> 00:19:10,154
Look, I don't want to ruin your fun, you know?

398
00:19:10,216 --> 00:19:12,807
But I hate to see guys treat you like this. You're better than that.

399
00:19:12,886 --> 00:19:15,659
- To me, anyway. You're-you're...
- Awesome?

400
00:19:15,756 --> 00:19:18,008
No, I was going to say you're like this flower.

401
00:19:18,090 --> 00:19:20,379
And I know it's springtime, but

402
00:19:20,813 --> 00:19:25,055
I hate to see you get plucked by someone who doesn't even care that you're blossoming.

403
00:19:25,842 --> 00:19:27,720
That's what I've been waiting to hear.

404
00:19:30,158 --> 00:19:32,524
Maeby was referring to the dialogue,

405
00:19:32,622 --> 00:19:36,573
but George Michael had just rediscovered his feelings for his cousin.

406
00:19:36,630 --> 00:19:38,693
Hi, Ann. It's George Michael Bluth.

407
00:19:39,071 --> 00:19:42,533
Um, when you get back into town, we should talk.

408
00:19:46,557 --> 00:19:47,649
Can I get you anything else, ma'am?

409
00:19:47,864 --> 00:19:50,612
No, thanks, I have to get back to rehab.

410
00:19:50,700 --> 00:19:52,006
She's in rehab!

411
00:19:55,237 --> 00:20:00,091
And so George Sr. was free and Michael and Gob absconded with the evidence.

412
00:20:00,151 --> 00:20:02,912
Just one heck of a trick you ended up pulling in there, Gob.

413
00:20:03,019 --> 00:20:04,847
Truthfully, that wasn't part of the act.

414
00:20:04,918 --> 00:20:07,115
I was actually trying to get the key to come out of my mouth.

415
00:20:07,207 --> 00:20:10,147
That part was very surprising, but I'm talking about

416
00:20:10,192 --> 00:20:12,471
how you helped me get Dad out of there at all.

417
00:20:12,548 --> 00:20:15,062
Thanks to you, this family could end up being okay.

418
00:20:15,558 --> 00:20:19,230
And Gob had finally overcome his own low self-esteem.

419
00:20:19,306 --> 00:20:22,664
Hey. Aren't you that magician who always embarrasses himself?

420
00:20:22,757 --> 00:20:23,698
Not anymore.

421
00:20:25,332 --> 00:20:26,305
Not anymore.

422
00:20:29,474 --> 00:20:30,032
Gob!

423
00:20:30,114 --> 00:20:34,732
But he lost it along with the exonerating evidence.

424
00:20:34,982 --> 00:20:38,101
Here let me get it. They're laughing, Michael. They're laughing.

425
00:20:38,439 --> 00:20:41,231
And that's how you narrate a story.

426
00:20:42,151 --> 00:20:44,646
On the next Arrested Development:

427
00:20:44,752 --> 00:20:47,153
Lucille gets some disturbing information.

428
00:20:47,384 --> 00:20:50,683
- Did you get the evidence?
- Yes. And then Gob ruined it.

429
00:20:50,742 --> 00:20:53,200
After all the trouble that we went through to switch out the cooler

430
00:20:53,283 --> 00:20:54,695
with the one from the banana stand.

431
00:20:54,747 --> 00:20:55,801
The one in the freezer?

432
00:20:55,929 --> 00:20:58,623
I was storing very important things there.

433
00:20:59,067 --> 00:21:01,797
Kitty finds what she's been looking for.

434
00:21:08,586 --> 00:21:13,425
There was 250cc's of your father in that banana stand!

435
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:14,715
No touching.
