Episode Quotes
 
Oscar: I'm innocent Michael! I'm Oscar! Dot com.
Michael: No, no, don't buy it. I'm taking my son to the cabin, and there's nothing you can say to make me believe that you are not my father.
Oscar: I understand. Your child comes first.
Michael: Oh, my God, you're Oscar.
Oscar: Dot com.
 
Lucille: Ohhhh, come on!
Buster: Mother?
Lucille: What the hell are you doing back there?
Buster: I decided to sleep in the car so my snoring wouldn't bother you. And I left that recording of my snoring so you wouldn't know I'm gone.
Lucille: We're halfway to the cabin, I'm gonna drop you by this light.
 
Steve Holt: You look familiar.
G.O.B.: I think that's because we actually kinda look alike.
 
Narrator: If Steve had a father, he would have warned him not to go into the woods with strange men, but he didn't.
Steve Holt: Sure, let's go!
 
Michael: Dad's in Reno, Kitty's in Reno, Dad's in Kitty and he must he a blue man.
 
Michael: Uncle Oscar can last one more day in prison.
Narrator: Not according to that day's blog at ImOscar.com.
 
Michael: You seem more villainous than usual, Mom. Are you sober?
Lucille: Michael, it's 8 AM!
Michael: So it's not that.
 
Lucille: I just went off my post-partum depression medication.
Michael: You're still taking that? You had Buster thirty-two years ago.
Lucille: And that's how long I've been depressed about it.
 
Narrator: Next, on Arrested Development...Maeby finds someone to help her forget her cousin: her cousin.
 
Michael: Hey, why don't you pop a tent in front with your cousin Maeby?
George Michael: What? No!
Maeby: I'm not really the outdoorsy type.
Michael: Well, this is a good chance for you to rub off on her.

Episode References
 
Visual: Buster beating a Native American drum during the 1994 flashback

Buster beating the Native American drum is a reference back to the "Pilot" in which the narrator cites that Buster has studied Native American tribal ceremonies and a scene is shown with Buster at a ceremony.
 
Visual: Reno's "make the biggest little mistake of your life" slogan

Reno's slogan is a reference to G.O.B.'s signature "I made a huge mistake" which was first used in "Key Decisions" by G.O.B. after he realizes what committing to Marta meant.
