  Episode Notes  
David Cross (Tobias) does not appear in this episode.
 
This episode didn't feature the usual "On The Next Arrested Development" ending gag.
 
This was the season's highest rated episode.
 
The idea for this episode came from a FOX executives suggesting that Michael should "teach his son a nice lesson".
 
  Episode Quotes  
Michael: I want the guy with the one arm and the fake blood. J. Walter Weatherman. How do I get a hold of him?
George Sr.: Well, he's, uh, dead. You killed him when you left the door open with the air conditioner on.
 
Maeby: This is so much fun. I can't believe my mom thought being here would be a punishment.
Lucille: Oh, she thinks I'm too critical. That's another fault of hers.
 
Michael: I want the guy with the one arm and the fake blood. J. Walter Weatherman. How do I get a hold of him?
George Sr.: Well, he's, uh, dead. You killed him when you left the door open with the air conditioner on.
 
Michael: Tell you what. I'm going to give you the cash, but in return, I get to ask you for a favor sometime.
G.O.B.: My gut is telling me no. But my gut is also very hungry.
 
Buster: And her nausea's gotten really bad, too. It's really been difficult on us. It's definitely taking its toll.
Michael: Well, you know, you're free to go, pal. It's not like you made a commitment to this woman.
Buster: Well, I didn't make a commitment ... I did refer to it as our nausea. But you know, that's when we were going at it really hot and heavy.
Michael: Well, now it's my nausea.
 
G.O.B.: What? Oh, no! It's the cops! Oh! And a ... construction worker.
 
Michael: You mean you taught me a lesson not to teach lessons?
George Sr.: It was my last lesson.
 
Michael: Your uncle G.O.B. seems to think that he saw you down at the docks today. Was that you?
George Michael: No. Maybe it was the other George Michael. You know, the singer-songwriter.
 
Lindsay: Well, I think stress is what leads to trouble. You know the kind you put on George Michael, even when he gets an A?
Michael: Minus. And an A gets him ice cream. He knows that.
 
Lucille: I don’t criticize you. And if you’re worried about criticism, sometimes a diet is the best defense.
 
Maeby: D plus. Sign this.
Lindsay: This is a D minus.
Maeby: Well, either way, it’s above a D right?
Lucille: Another worldbeater.
 
Maeby: “C minus.” C m-i-n-e-s.
Lindsay: Did you even study?
Maeby: No, I didn’t.
Lindsay: Wow. How impressive is that?
Michael: Well, the bar for the refrigerator has been lowered.
 
  Episode Goofs  
Buster tries to get Lucille 2 medical marijuana to help her vertigo because she doesn't have medication to do so. However, in "In God We Trust", Buster bets his anxiety pills against Lucille’s vertigo medicine during a poker game.
 
  Episode References  
Visual: Maeby receiving a "partially cloudy" in math

This is a reference back to "Top Banana" when we first learn that Maeby is really bad a math.
 
Visual: G.O.B. trying to grab away Michael's sandwich

G.O.B. tries to steal Michael's sandwich in the same manner as he did in "Key Decisions".
 
The announcer mispronounces G.O.B., much like reporter Trisha Thoon does in the "Pilot".
