Episode Quotes |
| |
Barry: Well, if he's got a shot with her, just give me a little tap on the fanny.
Michael: It's not going to happen.
| Michael: Why'd you have to come back here in the first place?
George Sr.: Oh, no reason. Your mother happens to be just schtupping my brother, that's all.
| Oscar: God willing, he'll fail boot camp.
Michael: Well, why wouldn't he? He already failed day camp.
| George Sr.: Hey, by the way, I broke this thing. What the hell is it, anyway?
Michael: That's a breast pump, dad.
George Sr.: Oh, well, I did not use it for that.
| Lucille: You smell like a pine cone.
George Sr.: Yeah, that's the weed. I went to my, uh, shithole trailer and, uh, I smoked some ... like a cigarette.
| Buster: I can't do it; I can't make my bed, and I can't do this, either -- I'm sorry. Aren't you supposed to yell at me and call me "homo" and motivate me over this wall?
Sergeant Baker: We can't do that anymore. Lawsuit.
| Lucille: And it’s so nice not to have to worry about getting pregnant. The doctor said I couldn’t be a mother now if I tried.
Michael: And that was without even interviewing me.
| Lucille: I don’t know what you’re so nervous about, Michael. It’s a new prosecutor. It’s a whole new beginning. A new day, a new case, a whole new set of lies.
Michael: I’m not lying anymore, Mom.
Narrator: Michael was lying.
| Tobias: I just found out that my cellular telephone was a lemon. It didn’t work.
Lindsay: Coincidentally, neither do you.
Michael: Pretty brave card for you to play.
| Narrator: Lindsay had been frnquenting singles clubs, also still hoping to make her open marriage work --
Lindsay: Woo!
Narrator: -- which it won’t.

Visual: Ann 2.0's yearbook picture
Ann 2.0's entry in the yearbook reads "Ann Paul Veal (Not Pictured), Nickname: Egg, Activities: Math Club, Quote: ‘Were we supposed to have a quote?’". This is a reference to "The One Where Michael Leaves (2)" when Maeby says that Ann 2.0's yearbook entry has "not pictured" under her name.
| Wayne Jarvis: [Weapons of Mass Destruction] make [George, Sr.] guilty of medium to heavy treason.
Wayne's line alludes back to "Visiting Ours" where George, Sr. admits to Michael that he may have committed light treason.
| Lindsay: But Mom isn’t the only one “finding love” where she least expects it—her words.
Lindsay's line parallels a line from "In God We Trust" spoken by Lucille when she was trying to cover up her lies.
| Tobias' ringtone
Tobias has a "Final Coundown" ringtone, which is the song that G.O.B. uses in his illusions in several episodes including "Storming the Castle".
| (a box of Cloud Mir is rolled by Lucille)
Lucille: Thank God they’ve got my brands here.
The Cloud Mir vodka was first seen in "Public Relations".
