Episode Quotes
 
G.O.B.: Tell you what. You may not be good with women, but you are great with other people's women. I'll give you that.
 
G.O.B.: Where am I? Am I in two-thirds of a hospital room?
 
Buster: Wait, wait. What about - what about me?
Marta: I'm sorry, I'm not totally sure who you are.
Buster: Wow. Wow. That's what it feels like to get punched in the face.
 
G.O.B.: Hey, guy ... They tell me you're the actor who plays Marta's brother Tío.
Tío: ¿Como?
G.O.B.: You're going to be in a coma, all right.
 
Michael: Mom wanted me to tell you that she doesn't care whether you live or die, but if you're not dead, she would like to see you at the courthouse tomorrow in a blue sweater.
Buster: Damn it! I hate the blue sweater.
Michael: She said it would look nice in the gray pants.
Buster: Damn it! She's right.
 
George Michael: Uncle G.O.B., was Aunt Lindsay ever pregnant?
G.O.B.: Yeah, sure, dozens of times.
 
Michael: Hi. My brother said we can do it. That didn't come out as romantic as I'd hoped, but ...
 
Tobias: Oh, great. And now you’re mocking me. You selfish... coun.. try-music-loving lady. Hello, Maeby.
 
Tobias: When a man ... needs to prove to a woman that he’s actual ... When a man loves a woman, and he actually wants to make love, uh, to her, something very, very special happens, and uh ... with deep, deep concentration and-and great focus, he’s often able to achieve an erec --
George Michael: I’m sorry, I’m going to stop you. I know what you mean. I didn’t mean babies in general.
Tobias: Oh, well that’s good. Because it was about to get a little, eh, gross.
 
G.O.B.: You’re a good guy, mon frère. That means “brother” in French. I don’t know why I know that. I took four years of Spanish.
 
G.O.B.: And it’s all because of you, fratello. That’s Italian for “brother,” yeah. Now all I gotta do is find this “Hermano” guy. I’m gonna kill him.
 
G.O.B.: But you know that she’s kind of used to being with me, right? So... it would be sort of like going from prime rib to—I don’t know—weird brother of prime rib.

Visual: "Finished the milk. Will buy more. - George Michael" note on the refridgerator
