Episode Quotes |

George Michael: OCD? No, I’m just cleaning up after Aunt Lindsay. She never turns things off.
Michael: Well... Guess that explains why I saw the hedge trimmer zipping around the drive way. I did it again, didn’t I? I’m so self-centered. From now on, I want you to just tell me what’s on your mind, okay? And I promise I won’t just hear what I want to hear.
George Michael: I love my cousin.
Michael: Love you, too, pal.
| Narrator: Tonight: An Arrested Development you can’t miss. A cavalcade of stars. The shocking final moments will be presented live! And one of these people ... will die.
| Michael: Mr. Loblaw no longer works for us, cause someone wanted a boyfriend.
Tobais: Don’t blame me.
Michael: I was talking to Lindsay, actually, but he was clearly turned off to the both of you.
| Lucille: You’re going to put Lindsay in charge of the cooking? At least you’ll lose weight.
| Lindsay: You know, Mom, I think the only time you ever cooked for us, was the morning Rosa’s mom died.
Buster: You gave us cereal in an ashtray.
| Lindsay: You know, I’m actually a really good mom. I think it’s ’cause Maeby’s never around.
| John Beard: Do you know the Muffin Man? There’s a reward in it if you do. Then -- would you like some foam in your coffee? It’s called a cuppakeno and wait till you see what it costs.
| Buster: Hey, sister.
Lindsay: How’d you get here?
Buster: I walked. I tried hitchhiking, but it’s hard to do without a thumb.
| Buster: It’s so watery. And yet there’s a smack of ham to it.
Lindsay: It’s hot ham water.
| Buster: Sister’s my new mother, Mother.
| Lindsay: It’ll be fine. I’ll just put the sauce on them.
G.O.B.: What kind of sauce is that?
Lindsay: Wait, this is the water I thawed the chicken in.
Buster: Oh. Well, that should go with chicken.
Lindsay: Yeah.
Buster: Fantastic.
| G.O.B.: Coming through. Chicken in chicken sauce.
| Michael: Muffins? Oh, my God, Dad. You’re the Muffin Man? You poisoned 25 teachers during the ’70s?
George Sr.: Just the first two. The others were copycats.

"The OC disorder" is a spoof on the TV show The OC.
