Episode Quotes
 
G.O.B.: You don’t want a hungry dove down your pants. That’s how Tony Wonder lost a nut.
 
Lindsay: Did you get a lawyer?
Tobias: Only the best-looking and best educated lawyer in the whole O.C.
Bob: Don’t call it that.
 
G.O.B.: Attention, everyone! Why go to a banana stand when we can make your banana stand? I give you Barbara and Dee! Don’t worry, these young beauties have been nowhere near the bananas!
 
Tobias: Of course -- the “Bob Loblaw Law Blog.” Wow. You, sir, are a mouthful!
 
Buster: Read the button, Mister!
Michael: “The only scary thing about a one-arm man trying to scare someone is the fact...”
Buster: “...that he feels that his one arm is good for nothing but trying to scare somebody.”
Michael: It’s upside down.
Buster: Well, let’s see you try to put a button on with this.
G.O.B.: (screams)
Buster: Stop screaming. It’s not scary!
 
G.O.B.: Okay, you can turn the music off. I already shot my wad. Off.
 
G.O.B.: Anyway, it involves us making some money with our Mexican friends from Colombia.
Michael: I think they’re called Colombians.
G.O.B.: Oh, I forgot, we’re being politically correct now.
 
G.O.B.: Anyway, there’s a company there that wants to develop some time-shares with us. I told them that we’ll sell them our blueprints for 100 grand!
Michael: G.O.B., we’re prohibited from doing any business outside the country while we’re under investigation.
G.O.B.: Translation: Wish I’d thought of that.
Steve Holt: Nice translating, Dad.
 
G.O.B.: It’s not stupid. You’re stupid.
Steve Holt: Nice pout, Dad.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Rolando: Is it going to be unscripted like Curb?

He is referring to the HBO show Curb your Enthusiasm
 
Mort: That’s a bloodsucker? It looks like ALF.

ALF is a sitcom where an alien is taken in by a family after he crashes into their garage.
 
Tobias: Only the best-looking and best educated lawyer in the whole O.C.
Bob: Don’t call it that.

This is a jab at the FOX drama The O.C.
 
Visual: FAO al-Jibaaly Muhammed a-Abat

FAO al-Jibaaly Muhammed a-Abat is a reference to the toy store, FAO Schwartz.
 
 
Episode References
 
G.O.B.: Anyway, it involves us making some money with our Mexican friends from Colombia.

G.O.B. also confuses Colombians and Mexicans in the episode "Bringing Up Buster".
 
Tobias: You want me to be explicit?

Lindsay had a similar response to Bob Loblaw in "Forget Me Now".
 
G.O.B.: Let’s just hope they don’t try to get even by trying to “cirsumventing” the law.

G.O.B.'s trouble with pronouncing the word "circumvent" dates back to "Amigos".
