Episode Quotes
 
Lucille: Oh, what'd she do, get you drunk?
Michael: No, we just, uh, well ... we -- we did drink a little bit. How'd you know that?
Lucille: Because that's what she said she'd do. I said you wouldn't give her the money, and she said, "He will if I get him drunk." Probably because she thinks you're a cheap bastard. Oh ... her words.
 
Barry Zuckerkorn: Are all the guys in here ... you know?
George Sr.: Oh, no, no. No, not all of them.
Barry Zuckerkorn: Yeah. It's never the ones you hope.
George Sr.: Hope?
Barry Zuckerkorn: Think.
 
Barry Zuckerkorn: (to Lucille) What are you doing? Pilates? Because no forty year old woman should look like that.
Michael: Well, no forty year old woman does look like that.
 
Maeby: Ok. So I printed the fake airline ticket from my computer. If my parents miss this, I really might go to South America.
George Michael: That says Portugal.
Maeby: That's right.
 
(about his speedo over his cutoffs)
Tobias: Excuse me, do these effectively hide my thunder?
 
Tobias: Oh, give me the suit. Give me the suit.
George Michael: I’m actually wearing it right now, but I can’t tell you why.
Tobias: You’re wearing it right now?
George Michael: I have to wear it all the time. You... you’d never understand.
Tobias: Oh, please, I’ll never un -- I’ll never understand? That you can never be nude? I understand more than you’ll ... never know.
George Michael: Yikes.
 
Barry: Well, if you want to play Eve, you got to get in line behind what, above five homos. That was wrong. I -- I am so sorry. It’s just that I have one down at the office now, and I mean it is every day.
 
Buster: Can’t we just stay here and play poker again? You can bet your vertigo medicine against my anxiety pills.
 
Marta: Te quiero.
G.O.B.: English, please.
Marta: I love you.
G.O.B.: Great. Now I’m late.
 
Buster: Look, I don’t want to go through a whole song and dance with you. You’re going to love it. Y-You just can’t do anything that violates the original painting, like giggling or itching. They do allow some nervous crying, but you can tell they don’t like it.
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
We see a Foothill Transit bus when G.O.B. and Michael are going after George Sr. Those type of buses don't run in Orange County.
