Episode Quotes
 
Dr. Farmer: You could be a groom. Bring a little girlfriend up there with you.
George Michael: Oh, I don’t have a girlfriend.
Dr. Farmer: A sister than, or a cousin. Of course, you’re going to have to kiss.
Narrator: Guess who liked that idea?
Michael: He says he doesn’t want to do it. I’m actually going to respect his choices ...
George Michael: Good. I ... great. I was just ... Well, don’t answer for ... I, um, yeah. ’Cause I know exactly the cousin, I mean, the ... the girl I would want to give and she’ll want give too. We’ll ... and we’ll do that together. For them, for the sake of ... I jus ... it’s a great day. For being sad.
 
Michael: G.O.B., I’m not going to turn this mock trial into some kind of --
G.O.B.: You were going to say “mockery,” weren’t you?
Michael: I was in trouble, like, three words into that.
 
Lucille: Your father says he wants me to go all the way to Falluja. I thought he meant the sex act that’s so popular with your generation.
 
George, Sr.: Who’s on the list? Any blabbers?
Michael: Well, they’ve got one guy who won’t be talking. That is unless there’s a hand inside of him.
Tobias: Oh, please, Michael. Even then, I wouldn’t say anything.
 
Michael: Wait a minute. Are you responsible for this, Mom? Did you put one of your sons into a coma so that he can’t testify?
Lucille: Michael, how dare you? Of course it crossed my mind. But this was all Buster. He got into your brother’s pills.
Michael: Not the Forget-Me-Nows.
G.O.B.: He asked me for them. I didn’t know. I thought he was dating again.
 
Lindsay: Michael, just because you played a role doesn’t make it real.
Lucille: Of course, Buster did grow up to be Captain Hook.
Buster: Not cool, Mom.
 
Narrator: Devotees will remember that Michael once played a lawyer in a school play.
