After the idea leaked to the press, the idea was scrapped. |

Michael: Lindsay, I can tell that it’s real. It’s like that feeling that you read about twins having.
Lindsay: We’re twins. You didn’t give me access to the banking.
Michael: No, you’d just, you’d go out and you’d just whore it up, Lindsay, you know? Now she’s different. She’s a little bit more like me. It’s like we finish each other’s...
Lindsay: Sandwiches?
Michael: Sentences. Why would I say...?
Lindsay: Sandwiches?
Michael: That time I was going to say sandwiches. | Michael: That might be an older sister that we’ve never met.
Lindsay: Wow! Look at the beak on that bird. | Lindsay: Michael, do you remember when you thought there was a mysterious “Mr. F” out to get you?
Music: / Mr. F /
Michael: Yeah, but that was retar ... misguided. | Lindsay: Well, why don’t you just go to Dad and ask him who Nellie is, point-blank?
Michael: So he can just cover it up and lie? I can’t stand to hear one more lie out of this family.
Tobias: Oh, there’s the woman I’m sexually attracted to.
Michael: Okay, but that’s the last one. | Tobias: Yes. Lindsay and I are planning a night of heterosexual intercourse.
Michael: You can just say intercourse. |

George Michael: Hey, I thought tonight we could pop in bleep... (screen reads "reference to off-network high school private eye drama censored by FOX") ... in the old DVD player and sit and watch it maybe just the two of us, husband and wife? I’m just kidding. The State of California isn’t, but ... You know, that’s what makes it funny.
The off-network private eye drama that is being referred to is Veronica Mars. | Narrator: The scrapbooking sting had helped the D.A. gather evidence against people as diverse as Ken Lay, ... Oliver North, ... but ironically not Martha Stewart.
Ken Lay was the CEO and Chairman of the Enron corporation indicted by a grand jury on charges of fraud. Oliver North was an Lieutenant Colonel in the Marine Corps that was a key player in the Iran-Contra scandal. Martha Steward is a homemaking guru who was sentenced to 5 months in prison on insider trading charges. |
