Gob · Warden:Well, any press is good press, huh? / Right. [beat]
Gob · Narrator:So Gob went about swallowing the key to prepare for his escape. [followed by ~30 seconds of implied key-swallowing action before Gob speaks again]
Gob · Michael:Of course, that is gonna conflict with my going to the Desis with Marta. — Well, life's a compromise.

Gob · Michael:Thank you. I knew you'd come through. / How'd I come through? / Gob, how'd I come through?
George Sr. · Gob:Keep your arm up. That's how you get accuracy. — Thought you said throwing the ball against the garage door by yourself was how you got accuracy.

Gob · George Sr.:I'm a complete failure. — Where'd you get that kind of talk? — From you. You always say that about me.
Gob:You've done a pretty good job of being a father to everybody in here. What have they got that I don't? You've never even thrown a ball around with me.
George Sr. · Gob · White Power Bill / Dirty Ears Bill · Narrator:And for the first time, Gob had the game of catch with his father he'd been waiting for his whole life. [George Sr. and Gob throw a ball in prison] — White power! — I'm... white.
Narrator · Gob:Gob has been stabbed in the back. [narrator, then revealed literally: Gob is in the hospital with a stab wound]
Gob:? Ta-dah? [Gob, in a hospital bed, weakly attempting a magician's flourish]
Gob:You were right, Michael. Life is too short. Mine almost ended today. So I think I'm gonna work things out with Marta.
Gob · Michael:Hmm. You know what's funny? — Mmm. — I was gonna walk out of that prison last night and break up with her. Good thing you didn't bring the stairs, huh?
Gob:You two keep talking out there, I'm gonna start getting jealous.
Doctor · Narrator · Gob:Looks like the shiv would have done some real damage if it hadn't been for this. It was in your lower intestine. So close. [the key Gob swallowed is revealed to have deflected the shiv]
Doctor · Gob · Michael:Looks like the shiv would have done some real damage if it hadn't been for this. [holds up the swallowed key] / It was in your lower intestine. / So close.
Gob · Michael:Gob is setting up an 'office' in Michael's workspace to write a 'strongly worded letter' to the warden.

Gob · Kitty:Gob and Kitty flirtation: 'What are you hiding?' / Kitty: 'Nothing you can't find.' Then Gob asks Kitty to take off her glasses, lets down her hair — and each reveal makes her look worse, forcing Gob to backtrack: 'No. Glasses on. Hair back up.'
Gob · Kitty:Gob: 'Do you want me to turn all the lights off?' Gob agrees, then: 'There's still light coming in from under the door.'
Michael · Gob:Michael arrives home: 'Great news.' / Gob: 'Oh, good. I could use it.' / Michael: 'I just came from convincing Mom to have sex with Dad.' / Gob: 'God! What is wrong with you? That is disgusting!'
Gob:'I have a sense of propriety. All right?' — Gob's protestation of decency after being disgusted by Michael facilitating their parents' sex.
Gob · Michael:Gob: 'I Kitty.' / Michael: 'Gob, I just wanted you to get the information.' / Gob: 'Oh, I got the information.' / '...About the international accounts?' / 'I see what you're getting at. No, I didn't get any information.'
Michael · Gob:Michael: 'You just lost the touch lamp.' / Gob: 'What? No!' / Michael: 'The deal's off. I'm gonna use the touch lamp to set the mood in the conjugal trailer when Dad's nailing Mom!'
Michael · Gob:Michael offers Gob: touch lamp + office + 'what the hell... full use of the secretary.'
Gob · Kitty:Gob stalling Kitty with light adjustments: 'Glasses off. Glasses on. Hair up. Glasses off. Down, on. Have we done up, off?'
Gob:Wrong and bright. This... That's be... brighter! God! Damn.
Warden · Gob:The warden catches Gob outside: 'Well, if it isn't Sincerely Yours.'
Gob · Warden · George Sr. · Lucille:Gob is pinned against the window of his parents' conjugal trailer by the warden. Gob: 'Oh, God, Mommy! What did you do?'
Gob:Oh, God, Mommy! What did you do?
Gob:Well, they got the Asian right. 'Hotties' might be a stretch.
Gob:Well, let's start with the little one.
Gob · Michael:I wanna throw Mom a party. / Would you... I just told Mom no more parties. / I know, Michael. That's why this is the perfect opportunity to throw her a surprise party. She'd never suspect it.
Gob:She didn't. I dummied her up a new one. Not my best work though. She wanted to look 48. I nearly airbrushed her into oblivion. We ended up checking 'Albino' on the form.
Gob · Michael · George Michael:She was having trouble even lifting up this bag of groceries. / All right. We will do the surprise party. / For Gangy? / Yeah, how did you know? / She called and invited us.
Gob · Lindsay:It's the first I've heard about it. / What about you? Neiman's? / Prison. Then Neiman's. But only because I'm going back to prison, and they've seen me in this.
Gob:What frail act got you this time, Michael? She couldn't open a jar? What, did a clump of her hair come out in your hands?
Lucille · Michael · Gob:I've been a horrible mother. / No, Mom. You're great. You've been a great mother. / Well, you know she's been a horrible mother, right? / You don't have to tell me.
Gob · Michael:Um, is it okay if I do it for Mom and not you? / Yeah. / 'Cause I really like Mom. / We know.
Gob · George Michael:Michael? George Michael. / You've gotta go. / Wait. Uncle Gob, is this a bad time? / No. Are you kidding? So, what's up?
George Michael · Gob:I need you to make some fake I.D.'s for me and Maeby. / Like a passport? / Yeah, yeah. That'd be great. Oh, and, uh, preferably French. I like the way they think.
Gob · Dock Woman:Look, I don't want you thinking that your uncle is some sleazy character from the docks. / Good morning. / How are you?
Gob:She's an Olympian... hopeful.
Gob · George Michael:But we're gonna have to make this quick. Your dad wants me out of here by noon. / I wouldn't worry about him. He's staying at Gangy's. / Yeah, he got in a car accident on the way back from her birthday party. / Man, I told him not to let her drive. / No. It was him driving.
Gob · Narrator:So you're telling me that he can't go anywhere and he's incommunicado? / That's when Gob decided to take the yacht to South America for the summer.
Gob:I gotta alert this boat's crew. They'll be devastated.
Michael · Gob:Gob, I want you to move back onto the yacht. / The yacht? What makes you think I'd want to now?
Gob · Michael:Wow. How hard did you hit that steering wheel? / I actually hit the back of my head.
Gob · Crew Member:Turn this skiff around. / We haven't even left the dock. / But 'skiff' is appropriate, right?
Gob:There's no way you were trying to hurt me. You don't hate me. Mom hates me. You kind of like me.
Michael · Gob:Yeah. I kind of like you. / Yeah.
Michael · Gob:Michael, I need your help. / Coming. / Ow! I got hit back there. / Right! On the back of the head, which means that you couldn't have hit the steering wheel.
Gob · Michael · Narrator:Mom must have clubbed you with a champagne bottle or something so she could drive. / Gob, how'd you figure it out? / It's funny you should ask that... / No. He didn't figure anything out.
Michael · Gob:Mom can't pick me up. She could barely pick up that bag of protein bars. / Guess what? They weren't protein bars. They were gold Krugerrands.
Gob:And Dad finally paid attention to my intellect.
Gob:I was halfway to South America, but I couldn't let you get away with it, because we're brothers, Mom, and we kind of like each other.
Lucille · Michael · Gob:I'm a horrible mother. / No, no, Mom. You're great. / That's crazy talk. / You're a fantastic mother. / I can't believe what I'm hearing, Mother. / Oh, we do. We really love you.
George Michael · Gob:George Michael walks into the yacht and finds Gob with two women in bikinis. 'Well, they got the Asian right. "Hotties" might be a stretch.'
Gob:'Well, let's start with the little one.'
Gob:'Michael, do you have any idea what would happen if I were to visit prison? It would be pandemonium.'
Gob · Michael:'It'd just give Dad one more reason to think that I've got nothing to offer but my looks.' / 'Yeah, I got some of that... except he also didn't like my looks.'
Gob:'She didn't. I dummied her up a new one. Not my best work though. She wanted to look 48. I nearly airbrushed her into oblivion. We ended up checking "Albino" on the form.'
George Michael · Gob:'For Gangy?' (George Michael asks how he knew about the surprise party) / 'She called and invited us.'
Gob:'What frail act got you this time, Michael? She couldn't open a jar? What, did a clump of her hair come out in your hands?'
Gob · Michael:'Well, you know she's been a horrible mother, right?' / 'You don't have to tell me. But what was I gonna say?'
Gob · Michael:'Um, is it okay if I do it for Mom and not you? 'Cause I really like Mom.' / 'We know.'
Gob · George Michael:Gob's yacht. George Michael visits to get fake IDs. A woman emerges: 'She's an Olympian... hopeful. Swimming and some coaching.'
Narrator · Gob · George Michael:George Michael tells Gob that Michael can't use the phone or go anywhere — he's trapped at Lucille's. 'That's when Gob decided to take the yacht to South America for the summer.'
Narrator · Gob:'I gotta alert this boat's crew.' [Cut to crew's devastated reaction.] 'They'll be devastated.'
Gob · Michael:Michael tells Gob to move back onto the yacht: 'What makes you think I'd want to now?' Gob reacts with suspicion to the offer.
Gob · Michael:'Wow. How hard did you hit that steering wheel?' / 'I actually hit the back of my head.' / 'The back of your head?'
Gob:'I was halfway to South America, but I couldn't let you get away with it, because we're brothers, Mom, and we kind of like each other.'
Gob:'But "skiff" is appropriate, right?'
Gob · Michael · Narrator:'Mom must have clubbed you with a champagne bottle or something so she could drive.' / 'Gob, how'd you figure it out?' / 'It's funny you should ask that...' / 'No. He didn't figure anything out.'
Narrator · Gob · Michael:'Hey, big shot!' [Flashback to Lucille yelling out the window.] Which was behind the passenger seat. Which means that she picked you up and dragged you over to the driver's seat.
Michael · Gob:'Mom can't pick me up. She could barely pick up that bag of protein bars.' / 'Guess what? They weren't protein bars. They were gold Krugerrands.'
Lucille · Michael · Gob · Lindsay:'I'm a horrible mother.' / 'No, no, Mom. You're great.' / 'That's crazy talk.' / 'You're a fantastic mother.' / 'I can't believe what I'm hearing, Mother.'
Gob:Even my own so-called girlfriend doesn't believe in me.
Gob · Michael:A magician. / I think you're confusing scary with silly. This guy was frightening. He was in a limo.
Gob · Michael:He wants to take my legs. / I-I don't... / The legs... The bottom half of my saw-the-lady-in-half trick.
Gob · Michael:No, not now. I'm showing him how to do the trick. / Two chicks curl up in a box. We call one the head and one the legs. / So that's how they do it. / God, I gotta stop giving these things away.
Gob · Michael:The old top half quit when she found out I was sleeping with the legs. / I guess word really gets around in there.
Gob:Would you give me a break, please? The legs are insanely jealous.
Michael · Gob:I get absolutely nothing out of it. / Well, you get a false feeling of superiority. / I know. That is nice, but this time, it's not enough.
Michael · George Michael · Gob:Why do I always have to be the one that has to set the good example for everyone? / Hey, guys. / Oh, that's why.
Gob:I appreciate your time.
Gob:Has she got big cans?
Gob · Michael:Where's the top half? / I have to teach her this trick. She's gotta fold her knees. / It's a fantastic trick. I don't want you to worry though. I've already told her.
Gob · Michael:Listen, I got you something... for being such a good guy... not that it's a surprise, you always are. / Oh, well, uh... / My watch. / I want you to have it. / Well, you've stolen so many things from me over the years. This is the first time you've ever given something back.
Narrator · Michael · Gob:So, the trick went forward as planned. / [Gob performs the trick; Michael is curled up in the box as 'the legs']
Gob:Wiggle those sexy gams, lady.
Gob:Mom, did you see it? I'm back in. I've got the career back.
Gob · Rollo:That was just my girlfriend and my nephew. / Well, you're out.
Gob:Flashback: 'Police! Open up!' [dramatic door-breaking] — implying Gob actually raided a home while working as a stripper
Michael · Gob:'I'm not an A.T.M.' 'I keep forgetting how hilarious you are.'
Real Drug Dealer · Gob:Actual drug dealers arrive: 'Hey, what are you guys doin'?' 'We got your signal. You flashed the lights. We got the drugs. You got the money?'
Gob:Gob at the nursing home: 'I'm gonna need a volunteer for my next illusion, the Aztec Tomb!' Old volunteer appears. Gob: 'Or box. Box is... fine.'
Gob · Elderly Volunteer:Gob instructs the elderly volunteer how to do the panel trick: 'There's a panel. Just flip it around, curl up behind it, don't make any noise.' — and the volunteer apparently follows through.
Gob · Assistant:During the illusion, after asking 'Ancient lore has it the Aztec gods put a curse on any man who dare—' the assistant reveals: 'He's gone.' The old man has actually vanished.
Gob · Michael:Gob calls Michael in crisis: 'I need her to spin something for me.' Michael: 'Well, that's too bad because I think she quit. What do you need her to spin?' Gob: 'Murder.'
Michael · Gob:Michael: 'Murder, huh? Who died?' Gob: 'My career.' Michael: 'I'm going to go home now.' Gob: 'I lost a guy.'
Gob · News Anchor:The press gets hold of Gob's story. Gob: 'I put him in a box. I didn't kill him, all right? And don't edit this for your broadcast so it looks like I'm screaming, "I killed Earl Milford."' News anchor: 'Startling confession, tonight at 11:00.'
Gob · Earl Milford:Gob tells Earl he needs to return him to clear his name. Earl: 'You'll have a new name: Hero.' Gob considers it: 'Hero.' Pause. 'That could work for me.'
Gob:Gob: 'Although he was spectacularly quiet in there.' — about Earl Milford hiding in the Aztec Tomb for an extended period.
Gob · Unknown:On the next Arrested Development: Gob holds a press conference: 'And, now, prepare to call me "hero."' The old man is apparently still asleep in the equipment box: 'He's resting, so... Oh.'
Michael · Gob · Marta:Three-way phone call confusion: Michael says 'nobody' is with him (Marta is there), Gob says 'well now I don't know what's going on.'
Gob:Gob says Marta 'wouldn't let me make love to her on Mom's bed' and 'I don't even want to tell you what she wouldn't let me do to her in the car.'
Gob · Marta · Narrator:Marta on the phone says 'Hermano' — Gob thinks it's the name of a man she's cheating with. Narrator reveals she was talking to her mother about Michael.
Gob · Michael:'If anyone's gonna go out with that girl, it's gonna be one of us. Right. Me. And I'm okay with that.'
Gob · Michael:She's at the house. She's at the house! I'm gonna speak very carefully in case she's with you. You're right. Right about what? She's there! What's going on?
Gob · Michael:Gob's phone call: 'Maybe because you've only had sex four times.' / 'Four women! Not four times! And they talk to me because I talk to them.'
Gob · Michael:Gob calls Michael offering 'a couple of fun girls' as an olive branch after the Marta situation.
Gob · Michael · Buster:Besides, when was the last time you slept with someone? / Buster. / What time and where?
Gob · Michael:This is Shannon, the girl I've been telling you all about. / Yes. Girl, indeed... young girl. That's a young, young, young, girl. / Yeah, well, she's 18.
Gob · Michael:Shannon wouldn't go out without a chaperone, and so she's your date. (Nazhgalia, an older woman with a mustache, is Michael's blind date)
Gob:Gob, jealous of Michael's basic human decency toward Nazhgalia, suddenly declares her 'exotic' and 'very attractive' to compete.
Michael · Ms. Baerly · Buster · Gob:Michael sneaks Ms. Baerly into the model home at night, and they are discovered by Buster and Gob — who independently are also sneaking in.
Gob · Michael:I'm sorry too, Michael, but it looks like we're even. You took something I liked. I took something you liked.
Michael · Gob:Listen, I know that you've been trying to get even with me about Marta. But got bad news for ya. I'm seeing somebody else. / Who? Who? / Just out of curiosity — I'm not gonna try to sleep with her.
Michael · Gob:Forget it. I thought this was behind us. / It is behind us. / Great. / When I sleep with her. 'Cause I'm gonna sleep with her.
Gob:Yeah, I was lying when I said I wasn't gonna sleep with her, so...
Michael · Gob:She'd have to agree to it. / I don't anticipate a problem with that. / No? / No. 'Cause I've seen some of the dogs you like. / Right. / I just slept with one.
Gob · Student/Bouncer · Steve Holt:So you're not letting him in because he doesn't share your perfectly shaped nose, your round eye-shaped eyes, your strong square jaw. / Thanks. You wanna dance? / Yeah! All right! Steve Holt!
Gob:Steve Holt! — spoken as Gob spots a male student and calls his name with inexplicable enthusiasm.
Gob:Excuse me. Look, I blew it, okay? But I bought a yearbook ad from you. Doesn't that mean anything anymore?
Gob:Oh, that's your definition of the right thing. I thought I was gonna make a dramatic entrance and tell you that I wanted to see you.
Gob · Michael · Narrator:I slept with the ethics teacher. I'm sorry. / What are you talking about? / Lindsay told me that you liked her and I'm not proud of this, but... Mrs. Whitehead. / In fact, Gob mistook the civics teacher for the ethics teacher Michael was dating.
Michael · Gob:Gob, Mrs. Whitehead was the civics teacher. / We both had her. / Yes, we have. And now we're even.
Shannon · Gob · Shannon:What a pig. / Tell me about it. / No, you! You're the pig!

Gob · Worker:Gob to construction workers: 'Screw this! I have my pride. I don't care how much they're paying me.' Worker: 'You got paid? I thought we were all making sacrifices.'
Gob · Buster · Worker:Gob tries to incite a work stoppage: 'I say we shut down construction!' Buster: 'This is fun! We should do this just for the fun.' Worker: 'Easy for him to say. He got his paycheck too.'
Gob · Buster · Workers:Gob: 'He'll never stand up to the man. He's a chicken. A chicken.' — workers call Buster a chicken, Buster responds: 'My whole life you've called me a chicken, but that's over now. I have nothing to prove.'
Worker · Buster · Gob:A construction worker announces they'll settle the dispute with a game called 'chicken' — Buster and Gob race forklifts
Worker · Gob · Narrator:After the forklift chicken race: 'Wow. Who won?' — and 'for the first time, Gob saw his brother as a man'
Narrator · Gob:After the forklift chicken showdown, narrative beat: 'For the first time, Gob saw his brother as a man.'

Gob · George Michael · Michael:'I'm still kind of tweaking my nipples... The presentation was great.' / 'Hey. Whoa!'

Gob · Michael:'Don't worry. He's gonna be covered with a blue dot. He approached me.' — Gob about George Michael being in a Girls With Low Self-Esteem video
Gob · Michael:Gob post-intimacy becomes 'really girlie' — 'He's my brother, and he's never even said 'Good job.' I just want him to love me, you know?' Michael: 'Wow, you get really girlie after, huh?'
Gob · Michael:Gob after sex: 'Wow, you get really girlie after, huh?' — Michael ignores this

Gob · Lucille · Tobias:They don't have a case against us. I took care of everything. / Something smells wonderful. / Well, thank you. Would that I could say that I wore it to impress you, but no, I'm afraid it's merely a cloaking agent from a sadly blunderous afternoon.

Gob · Narrator:Narrator: 'Gob realized that the power play he promised to make with Kitty had perhaps come at a bad time.' Gob: 'I've made a huge mistake.'

Lucille · Gob:Lucille, stoned from Afternoon Deelite brownies, driving erratically and hitting a banana peel from Gob's banana suit, causing the car to skid.

Gob · Michael:Gob, after being hoisted and slammed by Buster, hears the crowd laughing: 'They're laughing with me, Michael. They're laughing with me.'
Gob · Michael:Ann? Hmm. That'll play well with Sitwell. 'Where's your son?' 'He's out with Ann.' 'Who's Ann?' 'Don't ask me, I'm just the boy's father.'
Gob:George Michael's got these powerful little fingers. He should be here.
Michael · Gob:The only help we need is from each other. — And apparently whatever's in that bottle.
Lucille · Gob:That hairless freak is coming here? None of his hair is real, you know. — You mean the guy we're meeting with can't even grow his own hair? Come on!
Sitwell · Gob:The only thing I ask is out of the 450 homes we build, one be given to a disadvantaged family from the inner city. — That's great. So the other 449 families live in fear? Is that what we're saying? I mean, come on! Where's your decen—
Gob · Narrator · Sitwell:What the hell just fell off your face? — One of this guy's eyebrows fell in the candy beans. — I always carry a spare.
Gob:Well, I hope you also carry a spare bowl of candy beans.
Sitwell · Gob:But you were right. It was a bad offer and you were smart enough not to take it. You got gumption. You speak your mind. That means you're good enough to work for me. — [bleep] you. — And I accepted.
Gob:We're gonna swing by his wigmaker. His 'just woke up' hair is finally ready.
Gob:Yeah, I don't think things are gonna work out with Sitwell. I mean, we picked up his sleepy-head wig, everything was cool. Next thing I know, he's asking me for a bunch of work ideas. So, I thought I'd just quit and go back to being president here.
Gob:Michael, I'm your big brother. I'll never be impressed with you.
Gob:I just want the office and my stuffs and title.
Michael · Gob:What about if I help you with your work over at Sitwell? — You'd do that? — Sure. You really want me to succeed at Sitwell. — Well, I just — Hey. Come on. I really want you to be over at Sitwell.
Gob · Michael:So get this. Sitwell loved my ideas. — Well, my ideas and I knew it. That's great. — You know, Dad never complimented any of those. — Here's the thing. I need more. — There were 34 proposals in there.
Gob:You'd be amazed how fast they come out when you read them all in a row. 'Thirty-one, bamboo floor upgrades. Cheaper, stronger.' I can't read this word. 'Thirty-two, wireless crapability.' That one explains itself.
Narrator · Gob · George Sr.:[Narrator] Gob's own father had only once played catch with him. And it ended as badly as any game of catch could end.

Gob · George Sr. · Narrator:[Softball flashback] Gob especially gifted at sacrificing his body — Play's at second! Play's at second! — Yeah! Suck on that, Sitwell! — Your Tweety Bird dance just cost us a run, you moron.
Gob:Nobody makes a fool of our family without my help.
Sitwell · Gob:Time out. — Gob, are you okay? — Yeah, just can't hit today. Guess you're really disappointed in me. — Hey. Everybody has days like this. It's only a game. — After that list of ideas you gave me, I don't care if you blow the whole season. — Come here, you.
Michael · George Michael · Narrator · Gob:You better pull an ankle or something. — Come on, George Michael! Get that ball in there! — [Narrator] Then he went headfirst into The Wall. — I'm safe. — You're out! — Out? I was safe! I'm safe!

George Sr. · Michael · Gob:Stop with the Tweety Bird dance, you moron. — Dad? — He made the call. You're out. What are you doing? — Shush, shush, shush. — Dad? — He's safe. — What the hell are you doing here? — I'm taking care of what you screwed up. You blew it again, Michael.
Gob · Michael:Yeah, and Stan Sitwell liked my ideas. He really believed in me. — My ideas. — Well.
Gob · Michael · Narrator:Michael, I could've sworn I just saw Dad. — Or not. I think hallucination is one of the side-effects of Teamocil. — [Narrator] It isn't.
Gob · Michael:Sorry I didn't blow the game. — No. You did the right thing... and you finally got Dad to one of your ball games. — Screw him. — Yeah. [whistling through teeth] I miss him so much.
Gob:Gob's housing pitch: 'Fifty-two percent of the country is single. That's a market dominated by apartment rentals. Let's take some of that market. I call it Single City.'
Narrator · Gob:Narrator: 'His ideas failed to evolve.' — Cut to Gob pitching 'Swing City'
Gob:Gob's final pitch: 'because sometimes the guys are tapped out. But check your lease, man, because you're livin' in- City.'
Gob · Michael:Gob stole Sitwell's dress eyebrows. 'He's not gonna be happy about that.' / 'No, especially when he goes to the opera with two mustaches on his forehead.'
Michael · Gob:Michael: 'Are you serious? Dad gave you the Camaro? I thought you won that on Card Sharks.' Gob: 'Michael, I was never on Card Sharks. Dad told us not to tell you.'
Gob:Gob: 'I'm an ideas man, Michael. I think I proved that with- Mountain.'
Gob · Michael:Gob: 'I'm gonna prove to you that I'm worthy of rehiring if it takes every ounce of determination that I've got.' Then immediately leaves.
Michael · Gob:Michael: 'Where are you going?' Gob exits. 'Did you want me to stay and do that?'
Gob:Gob: 'What? No. I'm trying to get a job from you, Mikey. Come on.' (re: selling stock)
Tobias · Gob:Tobias: 'No, no, no. The club. I was dancing with what turned out to be the club's owner, and he was looking to sell.' Gob: 'Oh, he really, really did look like a woman.'
Barry · Michael · Gob:The hostile company is called 'Standpoor' — 'as in the opposite of Sitwell... which is run by a hairless man who could be very upset with you right now.' Michael: 'What would he have to be upset with me about?' [beat] 'You're wearing his eyebrows?'
Gob:Gob is still wearing Sitwell's stolen eyebrows: 'They make me feel dressier.'
Gob:Gob: 'My mom really took up a bunch of your space, huh? What a bitch.' Lucille 2 is confused. 'When she expanded her bathroom and moved your wall over. That's why all your stuff's sticking out.'

GOB · Michael:GOB screams 'JESUS! IT'S THE WOLF! THAT IS THE WOLF! THE WOLF IS UPSTAIRS!' — it's just the Peter and the Wolf record.
GOB · Michael · Sally:GOB to Sally: 'Because the guys wanted to stick it to me.' Michael: 'What? No. I never—' GOB: 'Michael used to say that.' Michael: 'No, I didn't.' GOB: 'You said other stuff.' Michael: 'I absolutely did not say that.'
GOB · Sally:GOB: 'Are you still doing your little tricks?' — then squirts Sally with lighter fluid and explains there's no flint. 'But still, where did the lighter fluid come from?'
GOB · Michael:GOB: 'Smooth, Michael, like her father's head, chest, arms, legs and ass.' Michael: 'What are you talking about?' GOB: 'He's hairless, Michael. It's a condition.'
GOB · Michael:GOB: 'I hate the guy, but at least he's got...' Michael: 'Satiny and smooth probably.' GOB: 'I'm just different than you, GOB.'
Michael · GOB:Michael reveals GOB's high school scheme: siphoning gas from a girl's car, then showing up to say 'Car troubles?' and driving her in his car.
Michael · GOB:GOB: 'It's called taking advantage. It's what gets you ahead in life.' Michael: 'Like you did with our biggest shareholder, Lucille Austero.'
GOB · Michael · Buster:GOB: 'You just let Sally Sitwell slip away right when she was ready to go.' — then: 'You were scared.' Michael: 'What are you talking about?' Buster falls off his Segway or stumbles. 'I hurt my ankle yesterday shooting hoops or something.'
GOB · Lucille 2:GOB orders from the club menu: 'Fried cheese with club sauce.' / 'Popcorn shrimp with club sauce.' / 'Chicken fingers... with spicy club sauce.' / 'Stop it. You're making me dizzy.'
GOB · Lucille 2:GOB: 'Oh, stop it. You're making me dizzy.' / (Lucille 2 reads 'Chicken fingers with spicy club sauce') / GOB: 'No! I mean stop it.'
GOB:GOB: 'I didn't even wanna have lunch with her in the first place. I just... or... I ju...' — trails off into silence.
Sally · GOB · Lucille 2:Sally at lunch: 'Did you have too much club sauce on your calamari?' / GOB: 'Read me the desserts.'

GOB · Lucille 2:GOB to Lucille 2: 'No! I was ashamed to be seen with you. I like being with you.' — then hears a noise and says: 'Sshh. I thought I heard my mom.'

Gob · Michael:Gob can't remember his wife's name. 'Krindy.' 'Name's not Krindy, Gob.' 'Ah, Saul Zentsman. No, that's her lawyer.'
Gob:Gob: 'Well, she's got a name. And I'm gonna find out what it is, and then I'm gonna make a pun on it, and that's what I'll call her. Bad example — if her name's Amy, I'll call her Blamy.'

Gob:Gob's defense of seals: 'A seal would never prey on a human unless, of course, it had acquired a taste for mammal blood.'
Gob · Buster:Gob: 'How the hell would a seal know how to tie a bow tie anyway? I can barely tie the yellow one that I wear in my act.' Buster: 'This one had a yellow bow tie!'
Gob · Michael:Gob: 'I did this. I think that the seal with the yellow bow tie might be the one that I released into the sea after giving it the taste for mammal blood.' Michael: 'Okay. You've got a better case than Mom does.'
Gob:Gob: 'At the very least, I can remove that incriminating bow tie.'

Gob:'And that's not even including Buster's Swatch.'
Gob:'At the very least, we can get Buster's Swatch back, right? Up top. No?'
Gob · Michael · Buster:Buster arrives at the dock by crashing through the car window — Gob: 'Or we could make sure it's the right seal first? I mean, why get his hopes up?'

Gob:Gob says there's no room for Buster in the car: 'There's not enough room for you and me and the stump and the thing- stuff. Barry!'

Barry · Gob · Michael:'That tracking device tells me he was raised in captivity. There's no way he stood a chance out in the real world.' / 'See that? He was a victim too.' / 'You both were too sheltered to learn how to protect yourselves.'
Gob:Gob: 'And I've got to staple this to a seal. And I've skipped breakfast, so I'm off to Burger King.'

Narrator · Gob · Michael:The incriminating photo is actually the card from Gob's unopened CD — the card with Gob's face on it, found by a traffic camera
Gob:Gob in jail with Michael: 'Right between the gearbox and the 'pull back from aircraft' lever.'
Gob · Michael:Gob: 'I've got him stashed away somewhere safe now.' / Michael: 'Get him, quickly, otherwise I'm gonna be stuck in here.' / Gob: 'Good! I hope you rot in here!'

Gob:Gob: 'Well, I handcuffed him under the house. But he got free — the pipes I chained him to weren't connected to anything.'
Gob:Gob's threat: 'First, I'm gonna beat the crap out of you, then I'm gonna call an ambulance. Then knowing you, I'm gonna have to wait for some kind of an apology.'

Gob · Steve Holt · Narrator:Narrator reveals Steve Holt IS Gob's son through a montage of 'these girls got pregnant, this one had a baby, and that baby would grow up to be... Steve Holt!'
Narrator · Gob · Steve Holt:Heartbreaking. / You look familiar. / I think that's because we actually kind of look alike.
Gob · Steve Holt · Michael:Gob and Steve Holt are both at the hotel getting cabin keys, calling each other 'son' — 'I'll go buy some fishing stuff, son.' 'Where did you get this kid?'
Gob:Gob describes meeting Steve Holt 'at the garden where the little boy found the arm'
Gob · Michael:Gob: 'I wish he could be my dad.' Michael: 'Okay, your dad's not trying to find you, your son is. That kid's your son. You're the dad.'
Gob:'I've made a huge tiny mistake.'
Gob:Gob's 'Free Bird' illusion description: a magical bird — 'me in a beak' — stands on a platform, puff of smoke, then high above in an empty cage...
Michael · Gob:A guy that kind of looks like you? / No. Not how I do the trick. / Even if it was, how'd the look-alike get up there? He was hiding behind this mirror here?
Gob:A 'protest-acular.'
Gob:Gob ignoring his son Steve Holt: 'Well, then just tell him that Steve Holt stopped by, okay?'
Gob · Michael · Narrator:He'd been ducking him ever since. / Tom? Come on over here. I've got a vitamin for you. / He's the one who can't see me. / Because you were hiding in the trick? / Illusion, Michael.
Gob · Tobias:They're gonna see the ink. It's more of a leading man role. But it's not really done that way. Guess I shouldn't have used a permanent marker.
Gob:I know what an erection feels like, Michael. No. It's the opposite. It's like my heart is getting hard.
Steve Holt · Gob · Michael:Hey, Dad? / Whoa! / It's my son, Gob.
Gob · Tobias:Oh, God! / Oh, come on. / Mr. Gay, he's bleeding. Mr. Gay... / No, no, no — I was scared too, but I realized it was of being a leading man.
Gob · Tobias:All right, the trick has changed. We want you to play me now. / Oh, but that would mean I'd have to sh— / Shave my very tender head. I see.
Gob:Gather round, humans...
Gob:I've gotta start labeling these suits.
Gob · Steve Holt:Steve Holt, what are you doing here? / I just came to see the magic show. I didn't know it was you. / Do you like magic? / No. / I love it.
Narrator · Gob · Tobias:And at that moment, Gob chose to show his own son what he was capable of. / I've decided I will be performing the feat... myself. / Wait. We're back to hair?
Gob · Tobias:I've decided I will be performing the feat myself. / Wait, we're back to hair?
Gob:This chicken... shall be wrongly cooped.
Gob · Narrator:I'm sorry, Steve. I need to be a father. [Gob running through storm drains]
Gob · Michael:Gob: 'Come on, I lie to yours all the time.' — responding to Michael refusing to lie to Steve Holt
Gob:Gob: 'Third place, although a little bit plain, has super low self-esteem. So I step in and, uh, lay her crown upon my sweet head.'
Gob:Gob: 'I'll just have to steal something of his. Like, say, his bicycle. As a... placeholder.'
Gob:Gob yelling 'Does anyone know why my handlebars are in my bed?!'
Gob · Judge:Gob: 'Definitely not my shallow, materialistic mother, who only cares about looks.' Judge: 'I think we all feel that way about our mothers, and we all have legs.'
Gob:Gob: 'That's too bad. I was this close to getting out.'
Buster · Gob · Steve Holt:'On the next Arrested Development': Buster signs Steve Holt up for the Army — 'I'm finally ready to be a father to you. I know that now.' Steve: 'I don't go in for another two years.' Gob: 'Well, as your father, can't I sign something?'
Michael · Gob:They, uh, come from a culture that values honor and respect. And Godzilla!
Gob:Maybe we should do to the Japanese what they do in their movies. Build a miniature city. Put it outside their window. Tell them it's far away. It'll look real if you squint. God knows they're squinters.
George Sr. · Gob:Another brilliant idea, Einstein. — Really?
Gob · Lucille:Ah, Mister F. Rita's not a man. — As far as you know.
Gob:Alias is a show about a spy!
George Sr. · Gob:Gob, I'm sending you a package. You'll know what to do with it.
George Sr. · Gob:What is the matter with this guy? — saying all that too.
Buster · Gob · Narrator:I'm really glad that we're doing this together. I've never felt so close to you. — Oh! I feel the same way. — He's crying now. — Oh, God, look at us. We're like a couple of girls on the last day of camp.
Gob:but if you stand absolutely still right there and just squint in-into the light, and behold, Sudden Hill!
Tobias · Gob · others:I'm a mole! — Not the village! — Families can come... Ow! Ow! — I'm very particular about building codes. — The water tower.
Tobias · Gob:Families can come... Ow! Ow! — I'm very particular about building codes. — The water tower. — And this water tower does not pass muster.
Narrator · Gob · Lucille:Lucille! — Who can save our village? — Michael! — As it turned out, it was George Michael who had finally gotten his grandfather's jet pack to work.
Gob · Buster:They destroyed our town. — But they can't take away our memories.
Buster · Lucille · Gob:Oh! I've had... the time of my life. — I think he's being sarcastic, Gob. — No, I'm not, Mother. I mean lover.
Gob:It took some idiot parrot man with a camera in his hat to bring us together.
Gob · Michael:Gob immediately assumes Michael wants a magic show at the wedding, talks over Michael's attempt to clarify, and declares 'You want me to do a magic show at the wedding. I'm on it.'
Gob · Michael:Gob's magic show flashback: fire at previous wedding. 'Put her out! Put her out! Tracy! Thank God we already did the pictures.'
Gob:Gob: 'Which reminds me that Rita shouldn't wear any hair spray at this thing.'
Gob:Gob interprets 'Best Man' duty as: 'I am going to get you the single healthiest call girl that this town has ever seen.'
Michael · Gob:Michael: 'This is why I'm calling it a Witness, and not a Best Man.' / 'All you have to do is watch.' Gob: 'Oh, I'm not going to spend this kind of money and not watch.'
Gob:Gob: 'King... takes his queen... and showers her with diamonds!' — then corrects to 'clubs' and 'club sauce.'
Gob:Gob: 'I'd hate to be blamed for setting another one of Michael's brides... on fire!'
Gob:Gob: 'I just need to find a trick that puts you out of oxygen for 20 minutes.'
Michael · Gob:Michael negotiating with Gob: 'Love for her to walk. And not to drown. Or fly through the air. Or catch on fire. Is she allergic to cat fur?' Gob: 'Oop — no tigers.'
Rita · Michael · Gob:Rita appears to walk on water — or at least, it looks like she does. Michael and Gob watch.
Gob · Michael:Gob: 'Hang on a sec. That's part of your trick, right?' Michael: 'No.' Gob: 'That's not my trick, Michael.'
Gob:On the Next Arrested Development: Gob's illusion at the wedding — 'Why am I not going under water? Dear God, why am I not going under water?'
Tobias · Gob:Oh, she's right. This is going to be great for me, because I'm going to star in the video Gob's making for the gala. / Oh, yeah, it'll be very uplifting.
Tobias · Gob:Oh! Oh! This is going to hurt! / You know what? We're going to need this from another angle. / And you sure you're okay? / Oh, probably. I can't feel anything. / How's my hair?
Gob:It's fine. It's sucking the life out of you, Tobias.
Lindsay · Michael · Gob:Warden Gentiles likes her? / Likes her what? / No, I mean, likes her. Like, is attracted to her. / Who's the 'her' in that sentence? / Mom. Warden Gentles likes Mom. / 'Her?'
Gob:I'm afraid I'm with Michael on this. The guy runs a prison, he can have any piece of ass he wants.
Michael · Gob:I can't stand by and watch Mom get hurt. I have to get down there. / This is heartbreaking. / Got to get this for the video.
Gob:Hey, George Michael, you want to put your head down there by his drainage shunt.
Michael · Gob · Lindsay:Mom wants to sleep with the warden. / What? Oh, God! / Great. / Great? / The man is old enough to be her contemporary, Lindsay.
Gob · Michael:No, I don't have a sense of propriety, my God. / Gob, we've had this conversation. / When? / The last time you ended up seeing Mom and Dad go at it.
Gob · Narrator:But, thankfully, he'd found a way to forget that. / I've got a thing of pills in my pocket. I don't suppose I could convince you to grab me one? / Luckily, that worked, too.
Gob · Michael:Honey, the car is here. / Hey. Do you need a ride? You'll have to lie down.
Gob · Narrator:Yeah, Dad made me move my stuff out of Buster's room. / But only after hiding himself in the cage to get past the cops at the door.
Michael · Gob:Come on, Gob, you were gonna break out of this place once, I know you can help me break in. / It's not a Jamba Juice, Michael.
Gob:It's a jetpack, Michael. What could possibly go wrong?
Michael · Gob · Narrator:Now just make sure you tell me before you hit any buttons. / Good. Now we know what the strap was for. / Okay. Under the crotch. / Need a new plan. Yeah.
Michael · Gob · Narrator:Wish I knew the layout of this place. / Way ahead of you, Michael. Drew a map of it on my stomach. It's upside down, so it might be a little awkward. / It was awkward.
Gob:I drew us. I think we're, like, right there.
Gob:Well, the new facility isn't so bad, huh? It's a lot like school, only it's air-conditioned.
Gob · Michael:Graft versus Host. / Sounds like a tennis match between Steffi Graf and Happy Days star Donny Host. / It's Most. / But it's far deadlier.
Gob:Hello, I'm Gob Bluth. As a magician, I can make a lot of things disappear. / There are some things I can't make disappear. / No, not that candy ball machine.
Gob:When Toby first came into the family, none of us much wanted him around. / But that's because we couldn't see what was on the inside. / But lately, that's all we've been able to see.
Gob · Tobias:But what was Tobias to do? Have his hair plugs removed? / The doctor says I'd be completely healed if I were to do that.
Narrator · Gob:And Gob finally faces a phobia he'd faced before. / No! Not here! / Wait. I've seen this before. / Oh, God, I've seen this before!
Gob · Michael:Is it my turn to speak yet? I've got a good one. / We're gonna wait till after lunch for the tricks. / That's not a trick, Michael. It's a business opportunity.
Gob:Okay, you can turn the music off. I already shot my wad. Off. No, that's tape.
Gob:I have got a quick way for us to literally be showered with money. That's where the penny thing with the...
Gob · Michael:Anyway, it involves us making some money with our Mexican friends from Colombia. / I think they're called Colombians. / Oh, I forgot, we're being politically correct now.
Gob:'A Colombian cartel that won't kidnap and kill you.' / I underlined 'won't,' 'cause it makes the competition look like...
Gob · Michael · George Sr.:It's not stupid. You're stupid. / Nice pout, Dad.
Gob:If I didn't have a live dove in my pants right now, I would leap across this table and... you know what? Forget it.
Gob:You don't want a hungry dove down your pants. That's how Tony Wonder lost a nut.
Gob:I know that I don't know about this housing stuff, but I've got this Christian girlfriend now, and she's trying to get me to be a better man and reconnect with my son. And I'm trying to get her to renounce God and (bleep) me.
Gob:If you feel something moving down there, it's just the bird. I know it.
Gob · Michael:Did you know that more frozen bananas are sold here on this boardwalk than anywhere in the O.C.? / Don't call it that.
Gob:You're just scared of a little competish.
Michael · George Michael · Gob:There's no recipe, you just freeze a banana, then you stick it in the... / Don't tell them! Stick it in the what?!
Gob:Attention, everyone! Why go to a banana stand when we can make your banana stand? I give you Barbara and Dee!
Gob:Don't worry, these young beauties have been nowhere near the bananas.
Gob · George Sr.:Gob Bluth doesn't cave. / Yeah, you just did for me. / Well, you asked me to, so I thought... / Go. Go. Go. It's fine.
Michael · Gob:CD... CD one! CD one! Track two! Track two! Put the hostage here by the ottoman! Get it out of here! What's it doing in here?! Ottoman out!
Michael · George Sr. · J. Walter Weatherman · Gob:This is all fake. These guys are painters! / I'll kill you! / Oh, God, my arm! / Dad, you just shot off this... this guy's arm.
George Sr. · Michael · Gob:Now who's the stupid one now? / Thank you, Gob. / 'Gob?' You told him? I thought we were a team.
Gob · George Sr. · Michael:It's not fun feeling stupid, is it? / You son of a... / Wait a minute, I have to get my camera.
Michael · George Sr. · Gob:Cheat out. / I will kill you! / You're going out of frame.
Narrator · Gob · Michael · George Sr.:And that's why you don't pit Gob and me against each other. / Yes! Yeah! / You set me up. / That's right! / No more 'Boyfights.' / J. Walter Weatherman was in on it, too? / Right from the very start.
Gob · Lucille:As what, a waiter? Can I get you something, madam? / [immediately orders a vodka]
Gob · Lucille:Gob's waiter prank — he keeps serving despite the joke being over because the lunch rush begins.
Gob:Then would you like some foam in your coffee? It's called a cuppakeno and wait till you see what it costs.
Gob:Oh, I don't have any drugs for sale. Unless... did you expect me to follow you to your car?
Narrator · Gob:And Gob realized he'd accidentally worked a day in his life.
Gob:If you didn't have adult onset diabetes, I wouldn't mind giving you a little suger.
Gob · Lucille:And maybe later you can save a little piece of tail for me. / Come on!
Gob:Wait, no, no! Where's everyone going? No one's leaving until I get my money! I'll follow you to your cars!
Gob:Yes! I got him in the system. He is re-dyed, rested and ready to work.
Gob · Michael:I gotta tell Franklin. / I think he meant 'get Franklin'.
Gob · Franklin (Gob's puppet):Franklin, guess what? / But I don't know anything.
Gob · Lucille · Michael:He certainly hasn't heard anything from me. Mother doesn't know anything, either. / I don't know anything. / Well, you both certainly act innocent.
Gob · Michael:Whoa. I did not say that. / You did, Gob. Your mouth moved. Your hand didn't.
George Sr. · Gob:Wait, not the Judge Reinhold show from all those magazine ads? / They're all over the place. Look at this. / My name is Judge.
Gob:I could use this in my ventriloquism act.
Gob · Franklin:You'll call me up to the stand, say something like, 'Who is this little friend?' And he'll say... / My name is Judge. / Whose name is Judge? / My name is. / Okay. / That's a silly name. / That's enough. / Judge my name. / Yes, I am judging your name. It am silly. / Is. / Please stop. / Now you're correcting my grammar?
Michael · Gob:What's this? / Just practising my testimony in a fake witness box. / And you couldn't have just taken my stuff off the desk first or unplugged my computer?
Gob · Franklin:Check this out. You'll say, 'Who's this little friend?' And I'll say, 'Well, he's not really feeling that well.' And you'll say, 'Oh, what's wrong with the little guy?' And he'll say... / 'Patient presented with gastric bacterial infection.'
Gob:I need this! My career needs this.
Gob · Michael:You know what? Dad was right. If you really cared about this family, you'd be more supportive of me in this. / Gob, I'm not gonna turn this mock trial into some kind of... / You were gonna say 'mockery,' weren't you? / I was in trouble, like, three words into that.
George Sr. · Gob · Michael:Well, listen, have fun out there, because this is the last time you're gonna see this side of a courtroom — Franklin? You're calling Franklin, Mikey? / I sure am, pal. I support my brother.
Judge Reinhold · Gob:Well, it looks like we've got a mistrial. / But on the plus side, we've also got a hung jury. Hit it!
Gob:Oh, please. Pity the fool who gives me a bunch of jibber-jabber about romance.
Gob · Narrator:If someone was always asking you to embrace the Holy Trinity, what would you think they meant? / Gob thought it meant a three-way.
Gob:What? I thought that's what all you guys lived for.
Gob · Michael:The... something of my ways. / Wisdom? / It's probably wisdom.
Gob · Michael · Gob:Maybe we can give him a family discount. / Family discount is right, Gob. This is the sister that I've been talking about. / Maybe I should have been getting a family rate.
Michael · Gob · Nellie · Gob:How do you know her? / Met up with her after a show. / And you did things with her? / He didn't. / I did. / Well, if you consider crying like a girl doing something.
Gob · Nellie · Franklin:I just want my brother to respect me, you know? / I mean, I don't even have a job. / Look, I could use a man's voice on the phone. / And I like your little puppet show. / I ain't so little when I take my pants off, lady.
Gob · Michael:But I am not a pimp, Michael. She needed protection. So I make some threats, wear this hat, and I collect my ten percent. / Yeah, that's a pimp.
Gob:No, I think that's going to be something big.
Gob:I've seen a sign. / And I want to make this work. / A committed relationship that actually means something. / How about you? You want to do just the two of us? [ON NEXT episode preview]
Gob · Michael:Gob reveals he's going to Iraq for a USO tour doing a 'Christian magic act' — dressing as Jesus and walking on water.

Gob · Michael:Gob: 'You're just jealous that I am the son that the father has asked to do his work in the Holy Land.' Then: 'And he won't bump me up to business class.'
Gob · Michael:Gob: 'So you ready for Operation Hot Brother?' Michael: 'I'm not ready to call it that.'
Gob · Michael:Gob, found in prison, greets Michael with: 'Oh, I missed you, Michael! All right. Or should I say robot. What, 'cause I'm not crying? Maybe you don't have enough RAM to understand this, Michael, but there's such a thing as brotherly love.'
Gob · Iraqi Guard:Gob explains his act: 'And that is why Jesus was often referred to as the King of Kings.' Guard: 'Queens.' Gob: 'The King of Queens.'
Gob · Narrator:Gob performs 'The Burning Bush' illusion — with the crowd chanting 'Burn Bush, burn Bush' — which gets mistaken for an anti-American political demonstration.
Gob:Gob: 'Well, Dad... I mean, he had said if I happened to be in the neighborhood of Sadr City or Momoon, would I mind torching a couple model homes.'
Gob · Michael:Gob admits George Sr. asked him to 'torch a couple model homes' in Sadr City — 'Dad's just trying to keep information out of the hands of the Iraqis.' Michael: 'I have a feeling he was trying to keep it out of the hands of the federal marshals.'
Gob · Narrator:Gob: 'Oh shoot, I forgot to say good-bye to Yusef.' — then they're immediately released. Narrator: 'That was a lot easier than I expected. Almost too easy.'
Gob · Narrator:Gob: 'Oh, shoot, I forgot to say good-bye to Yusef.' / [They immediately walk out of prison] / Narrator: 'That was a lot easier than I expected. Almost too easy.'
CIA Agent · Gob:CIA agent explains they let Gob out of prison to follow him: 'Get in the cell, stupid.' / 'You... you're the one who didn't even shut the door.' — showing the 'escape' was staged.

CIA Agent · Michael · Gob · Buster:CIA agent: 'I'm afraid I'm going to have to take you guys out.' Michael: 'Take us out? Where?' Gob: 'I could really go for some Italian.' Buster: 'There is an Olive Garden in Mamoon.' Michael: 'I think he means to shoot you in the head.'
Gob · Michael · CIA Agent:Gob: 'Well, don't be mad, but I have been sending the pictures from my cell phone to my friend.' CIA agent panics. Michael: 'Well, who knows who she sent them to?'
Gob · Michael:Their reward demand from the CIA: 'We're going to need some business class tickets home. And direct flights. None of this stopping in Phoenix bull[bleep].'

Michael · Gob:You might wanna untie these ropes first. / Don't tell me how to flee, Michael.
Michael · Gob:Perhaps you can tell me how you can afford a boat. / You mean on the paltry 1,500 a week you give me? / I give you 500 a week. / Yeah, well, somebody's drawing a little one on those checks. No big deal.
Gob · Michael:You give a man a fish, he'll eat for a night. / If you teach a man to fish... / He'll wanna use your yacht.
Gob:I don't want this thing smelling like fish. I'm burning through my future for it. But you wouldn't understand that because you're a robot.
George Michael · Gob:Who? / Ann. / Her?
Gob · Ann's friends · Narrator:What? I thought that's what all you guys lived for. / While Gob debased everything they believed in.
Gob · Narrator:It's really not that big of a deal, George Michael. I'm 18 now. And besides, we really haven't even done anything. Practically nothing. But what are you gonna do? The girl obviously needs a man. And that's when George Michael became one.
Narrator · Gob:Gob, angry at Michael for sending his son to the docks, went into a kind of knee-jerk revenge mode. / Why go for the best when you can go for the rest... of your life with a younger man?
Kitty · Gob:Kitty likes to scratch. / Oh, God! Mom! Mom!
Gob:Whoo !@%$# baby. / Looks like George Michael got his mom back today, huh?
Michael · Gob:Yeah, well, where is George Michael, by the way? / He came by the yacht. Gave me this shiner. / He hit you? What for? / You know teenagers.
Gob · Michael:He came by the yacht. Gave me this shiner. / He hit you? What for? / You know teenagers. Probably lashing out at you because of who I'm dating. / Who are you dating? / Ann. / Her?
Gob:Don't worry. I didn't fight back or anything. I was like, 'Oh, no, take the yacht. Please don't hurt me.' Just build up the little guy's self-esteem.

Gob:Hey, Maeby ever mention my name?
Gob:Gob arrives at the sweat lodge having gone 'down to San Diego and looped back up' to avoid the border ribbon. Then explains his career goal: 'I'm a gentleman honey farmer. The only thing I've got back there are my bees.'

Gob · Michael:Gob: 'Actually that was a memorial to the death of Pete the mailman.' Michael: 'I knew that.' Gob: 'I brought one, too — size of the man's heart. I just got to figure out how to get it out of the car. If I could remember how I got it in.'
Gob · Michael:Gob: 'That's not from your Christian magic act?' / 'Christian magic act?' / 'If I were Muslim, would you say "Muslim magic act"?' / Michael: 'No, but it is hard to imagine any Muslim handcuffing himself to a glittery cross and living to tell about it.' / Gob: 'Yeah, well, the Christians aren't so (bleep)-hot about it either.'
Gob · Narrator:Gob: 'Things are incredible for me, I'm having an incredible year. I am a movie producer now, producing a movie, so they've got me in this enormous office.' / Narrator's note: 'Michael could see that his brother was unhappy and that his life had not worked out the way he had hoped.'

Michael · Gob:Michael's confusion about Ron Howard: 'You don't have to worry about Ron Howard. I mean, he's not competition for you. Yeah, I mean, the guy's like 100 years old. What's he gonna do, poke you in the eyes?' / Gob's realization: 'Oh, you're confused. Ron Howard directed Apollo 13. You're thinking of Moe Howard, the angry stooge who's been dead for a quarter century.'
Gob:Gob: 'Well, that's good 'cause the whole time I'm thinking, like, "unless she likes a guy who's funny." Because that guy IS funny. 'Cause the whole time you're like... "Is he gonna poke me in the eyes?"'
Michael · Gob:Michael says he can't 'call [his son] and ask him.' Gob: 'You know what, Michael? I'll call him for you.' Michael: 'Really, you'd do that for me?' Gob: 'It's the least I could do. You've given me a new sense of purpose.' Michael: 'Did you actually have an old one? 'Cause it always seemed like you were just looking for the easy way out.' Gob: 'Yeah, that was it.'
Gob:Gob: 'You don't need to tell me about disappointment and sons. Let's not forget Steve Holt. That's the story of our relationship.'
Michael · Gob:Michael: 'Did you actually have an old one? 'Cause it always seemed like you were just looking for the easy way out.' / Gob: 'Yeah, that was it.'
Narrator · Gob:Gob had come far in the year since his girlfriend was less than an hour from turning 18.
Gob:While we run the clock down on this thing, why don't you just go change into something a little less unflattering.
Gob · Ann:Way to plant, Ann. You told me George Michael knew about us. Well, he does now, my darling plant. Ann.
Gob:And after I dazzle everyone tonight on the Queen Mary, my magic career will take off as surely as there's a mouse behind your ear. Well, as surely as there's a mouse behind your ear.
Narrator · Gob:A poll would confirm she was far from alone. For the fifth year in a row, your least favorite entertainers are magicians. A close second, talk show side-kicks. Hmm. You, too, America. 'cause I quit.
Gob:Gob: 'You, too, America. 'Cause I quit.'
Gob:You think I can't keep it in my pants in front of a bunch of doggy old women and my family? Don't be stupid. Who am I gonna hit on, stupid? My sister? Lindsay? Don't be stupid. She's my sister, that's gross.
Gob · Insurance Agent:Two drowned white doves, for 'flowers to doves.' This was a rabbit for 'doves to rabbit,' also drowned. These were mice... For 'rabbit to mice.' No, that can't be done.
Gob · Insurance Agent:'Mice-a-laneous.' 'Mouse in purse.' 'Mouse in drink.' 'Here's a mouse, now it's gone.' How'd he do that?
Gob · George Michael:Gob repeatedly asking George Michael 'But are we good?' despite George Michael saying 'No' each time
Gob · George Michael:Are we good? No. No, how could we possibly be? But... But are we good? No! You stole my girlfriend. That's a tough thing, and, you know, sometimes you have to ask yourself, 'Are we good?' Is it over between you guys? No. But are we good?
Gob:I mean, yes, we are good... There it is! There it is! Ah! From a nephew to his uncle, and just the 'yes,' the much-vaunted 'yes,' that he gets. Look at you, full of 'yes.' Look at how much 'yes' is in you!
Narrator · Gob:And Gob realized there was finally nothing standing in the way of a loving, committed relationship with Ann. My life is a fallacy. ♪ It's just a fallacy ♪
Narrator · Gob:But as she unzipped her pajamas, it reminded him of past situations which he'd successfully been aroused. Well, I could wait till after.
Ann · Gob:So how did you like your egg? I said you were fine.
Gob · Ann:Gob's extended stammering attempt to break up with Ann while she interrogates him.
Gob · Ann · Narrator:Well, marry me. Yes. Yes, I'll marry you, Gob! Of course, Gob meant it in the showbizzy way his niece had always used when she was accused of being too young. What are you, like 15? Marry me. Marry me. Marry me.
Narrator · Gob:Gob was surrounded by unconditional love from a family for the first time in his life. [Beat of silence/reaction]
Gob:I've made a huge mistake.
Lucille · Gob · Family Member:I'm sure Gob helped himself to the money. Hey, I got mouths to feed. Mouths? Mouth. Her. Oh, hey, mouth. I didn't see you sitting there. We rode up in the elevator together. I'm blanking.
Gob:Yeah, me and Blank are getting the old Christian magic act back together. I mean, you don't expect people to actually believe that I'm Jesus if I'm walking around in rags.
Gob · Narrator:Tony Wonder's making a fortune with that gay magician act. Gob's long-time nemesis had come out of the closet and used it to great advantage in his act.
Family Member · Gob:Who's getting married? Her! Who's marrying her? Me. Did I not open with that? You sure didn't.
Gob:At our wedding, I will be performing one of my famous magical illusions. That once your eyes have beholden it, you will put no God before me, because of its spectacularity.
Gob:Love for and God. Ann. And God.
Narrator · Gob · Michael:Gob was feeling bolder, which was perhaps why Michael returned home to find this. [Gob is nailed to a cross in the living room]
Gob · Michael:And yea, as if to be arisen the third or fourth day with all the magic of... Jesus Christ! Sorry. Wasn't on there too good.
Michael · Gob:Yeah, what's the illusion? That you actually love the bride? Hey, that's good patter.
Gob:Except for I need people to root for the Jesus character.
Michael · Gob:I don't remember a biblical passage where Jesus came out of a boulder. Is it in there? Oh, no, no, no, the boulder's my escape plan. They think I'm somewhere else. I'm actually in the boulder.
Gob · Michael:I have a bee company. You stole my idea? Uh-huh, I did not steal your... We sell... It would take hours.
Gob:My bees are dropping like flies, and I need them to fly like bees.
Gob · Michael:What if I don't actually get married? I don't think you'd need a best man, then, right? No, I guess, at that point, it'd really be more assistant.
Gob:Marriage is a lot of pressure, and she's not into it. Meanwhile, I'm working out like crazy, my diet has become insane, and this Jesus character... I mean, he was shredded.
Gob:Meanwhile, we have sex one time, and then she's just, you know, over it. Lets herself go. Her stomach's out to here.
Michael · Gob:Yeah, I know you're in the boulder. But how'd I get in the boulder?
Ann · Gob:I know it's bad luck for you to see me in my gown before the wedding. Well, hopefully I haven't.
Gob · Ann:I didn't want to make a big deal about it. You haven't.
Tobias · Gob:I'm playing Roman Centurion Number Two. What are you playing? I'm the groom.
Gob:It's true, this is a magical trick. If what Jesus did was a trick. I say it wasn't. It was an illusion.
Gob:Ooh! They did not like that one.
Gob:I am not the real Jesus. I am the Amazing Jesus!
Gob:Yes, the real Jesus came off the cross and went into his cave a dead man.
Gob · Pastor Veal:Pastor Veal, let me remind you that you are in a church in front of your daughter, your congregation, God. You cannot tell a lie. Right, nothing out of the ordinary? No, I didn't see anything.
Gob:I'm not going to lock myself in a cave for three days before this wedding ceremony. No, no. No, no, no. I plan on beating his record by two full weeks!
Gob:Hey, kids. [Gob inside the boulder in the parking lot as children play bingo inside the church]
Gob:Our first fight, and like all fights, you're a little right, I'm a little right.
Ann · Gob:I sold your cave on Craigslist. So it was all worth it. We have money to start our life together.
Gob:Now we have our nest, Egg... Ann.
Gob:The Holy... [Gob's extended reaction to Ann's suggestion that he let the Holy Ghost inside him]
Gob:I'm ready to let the son of Gob enfold me.
Gob:Have you been to the club And, owned by Jeremy Pivan? I'm gonna be there tonight about 8:00. Maybe you could join me.
Gob:Lost my wife, lost my career. When I was in that storage unit at the bottom of that rock, it was like I hit... Rock bottom? No, no, not that. More like a trending downward moment that just... I don't know.
Gob · Bartender:Maybe I'm being tested like that guy 'Jawb' from the Bible. Job. Yes? Job. Yes, sir. Job. Yeah.
Gob:God, I dated a chick named Eve once. Biggest mistake of my life.
Gob · Steve:I'll be there at 6:45 with two cups of coffee. Oh, Dad, this is the greatest day of my life. No, this is the greatest day of my life.
Gob · Patron:I bet it's been a long time since you've seen your... Cherry. I have lupus.
Gob · Mark Cherry's Handler:No, it's an illusion. A trick is something a whore does for... Do a trick and I'll pay for your bar tab.
Gob · Rebel Alley:That is a David Spade. Check your purse. Oh! Nice.
Gob:Getting away is kind of my specialty. I'll have us out of here in a flash.
Johnny Bark · Narrator (implied) · Gob:They're sick. They're going to collapse the whole colony. Did you tell him about the sick bees? Jesus, I just said that!
Entourage · Gob:Guys, hurry before he sees us. Come on. Hey, guys, where we going? I'll drive, I just got to put my sick bees in the trunk.
Gob:A lot of traffic out here today, Miss Daisy.
Gob:Fun night. A fun night. Fun night. [Three separate beats across time, shown in sequence]
Narrator · Gob:And that's when Gob decided to take advantage of an unexpected diversion and have a little fun by wedging shut a panel on the podium he knew Tony Wonder would pop out of.
Gob · PSA Voice/Narrator:Well, it's just... A little alcohol poisoning never killed anyone. Actually, alcohol poisoning is responsible for over 4,000 deaths a year. Binge drinking, not cool.
Narrator · Gob:♪ Go away, Getaway, stay away, Getaway... ♪ Great, and now my boss is up my ass.
Gob · Narrator:My cave. [Gob finds his boulder/escape cave in a storage unit] Why didn't you open? Only to discover that someone had wedged shut his secret compartment on the day he deserted his Christian bride. 'T.' Tony Wonder.
Narrator · Buster · Gob:...she was at least able to turn a man's head... Gentlemen, start your engines. ...although, perhaps had his head not turned... Buster. ...he would have seen the ostrich warning on the door. No, Gob. Oh!
Gob:Hey, Mark, you guys want to see a real failed magician, you might want to get down to the Opies tonight. It's going to be hysterical.
Tobias · Gob:Tobias casually tells Gob: 'I'm a registered sex offender, but things are good.'
Gob · Tobias:Gob: 'Well, looks like life is going pretty well for both of us, except that I'm broke.' / Tobias: 'And I'm a sex offender.'
Gob · Michael:The Julie Bowen exchange — both brothers claim to be dating someone 'famousy' and immediately suspect it's Julie Bowen

Gob:Gob asks George Michael to pretend to be his boyfriend, then adds 'And don't make that face; you look homophobic.'
Gob · Michael:Gob presents a 'T' wedge as proof Tony Wonder sabotaged him. Michael says 'Jesus.' Gob replies: 'No, that would be a J. This is a T.'
Gob:Gob: 'He got the last laugh, which, in this case, happened to be the first laugh.'
Gob:Gob: 'Listen, if you insist on speaking to me like you're my wife, then don't be surprised to find my [bleep] in you and then you never hear from me again.'

Michael · Gob:Do you remember high school commencement, when they asked you to represent all the kids that were being left back, and then you had to quickly find a replacement for Buster who was too afraid to be sawed in half? So you're saying nothing's worse than the sound of the dog screaming?
Gob · Buster:It's gonna involve you being put into a small, confined space, and you come out gay. / If that's a swipe about me being in prison, I understand it.
Gob · Buster:Oh, right, you're in prison. What are you doing here? / Well, Mom arranged it. / Although, it is nice to be able to see family again, because, not to be rude, but you didn't visit me in... / Oh, there's a dog.
Gob · Parade announcer:Hey, does anyone have a dog? I... No? Oh, forget it. So, I guess, happy 4th. Nah, well... Well, the magician seems to be just standing there, doing nothing. / Ah... you get used to it.
Tony Wonder · Gob · Parade announcer:Did somebody say... 'wonder'? / Tony? You sinner. / He's Gob, the Christian magician. And he's Tony Wonder, the hot gay one.
Gob · Tony Wonder:And as a Christian magician, I know that gay people can change. / And as the hot gay one, I know we can't, 'girlfriend.'
Gob · Tony Wonder:Kind of thought you weren't gonna show. / Hey, man, look. I know you're still upset. All right? I screwed up, okay? I know we were supposed to hang out and see each other on the Fourth of May and take Forget-Me-Nows and... I just chickened out, man. Plus, there wasn't a fourth of May this year.
Gob · Tony Wonder:Gob and Tony, inside their closets during the illusion, have a genuine emotional conversation. Tony: 'I just chickened out, man. Plus, there wasn't a fourth of May this year.' 'Crowd!'
Tony Wonder · Gob:No, it's, uh, tainting each other's brand, but same dif. / Dif. / Same. / Same dif. / But if this... / Oh, I thought you were gonna... You're gonna say one more? / Nah, it's okay. We don't have to always be in sync all of...
Gob · Tony Wonder:When you come sashaying out like Ms. Berry Zuckerkorn... / And you're as straight as Bob Loblaw at a high school prom. / I don't know who that is. / Oh, he's an attorney we were forced to use one year and he... I guess he likes them young.
Gob:All right. Well, this is an audience of people too stupid to get out of town on a holiday weekend. They're not gonna expect the thing to take a twist.
Gob · Parade attendee:Who's straight now? / I wonder if my friend straightened out his act.
Gob:I mean, if he really is gay, he can try to hide it, but trust me, it will come out in the most unexpected balls.
George Michael · Gob:Excuse me, 'balls'? You realize you just said 'balls'? / But you said balls. / Oh, well, that's three times I'm hearing balls now.
Gob:Hey, that's perfect. Those guys will ruin your life. Hey, where did you find those guys?
Gob:You bet your balls I can get you some Guy Fawkeses. / Don't hold your balls. I would not hold my balls on that one.
Adhir · Gob:K means thousand. / Can you believe Adhir just expected me to know that? I must've told him K times, 'You gotta help me with these things.'
Michael · Adhir · Gob:And $10,000 for a printer? / 10K. / Good Gob. Good K.
Gob · Michael:Well, to be fair, it's a 3-D printer. / Why do we need a 3-D printer? / Well, to be fair, it's a 3-D dental printer. / But they're worth twice what I got them to leave them here for... what do we care if it takes two and a half hours to print some molars?
Michael · Gob:Can you just get me a copy of the receipt? / Hey, you want to spend a couple hundred bucks on a 3-D receipt, I'll have it printed and in your mouth before sunset.
Michael · Gob:Where are you getting your capital? / Capital money.
Adhir · Gob:Well, I can only look at the Bluth books. / The Austero books are for British eyes only, as they say. / ♪ For British eyes only ♪
Gob:There's only room at this company for one copresident. What's next? You're gonna want one of my parking spaces, Michael?
Michael · Gob:I'm just here to help. I'm not going to trump you. / Oh, well, Michael, don't worry, 'cause I already went there. / ♪ Balls in the air... ♪
Michael · Gob:You know, the easy choice would be to quit. / There it is. / We've got an opportunity to save the company... / I quit.
Gob:They think I'm too stupid to... [pause, candy] Help yourself. / Yeah. You know what's funny? They think that I'm too stup... [longer pause, still eating candy]
Gob:This is just as tough for you as it is for me. Tougher, maybe. Man without a king.
Gob:I'm gonna miss this view. / Rite Aid roof as far as you can see.
Gob · Adhir:He should've thought of that before he fired me. / You do know that Michael didn't fire you, you quit. / As any proud gay man would do in the face of such bigotry.
Gob:But I guess I don't need to tell that to a little Indian guy, huh? Michael's not your friend either. / You should've seen the look on his face when I do my impression of you. You know... 'What's the problem with Apu?'
Adhir · Gob:Just one more thing before I have security drag you out. Why are you claiming that the closet conversion company was a religious write-off? / Because I went there to become straight.
Adhir · Gob:Those places don't work. There's no such thing as a program that can change someone. It's a way for hypocrites to try to convince the world that they're now straight. / Without using magic.
Gob:So I just tell the world that I'm gay, and that I'm going to one of those? And then I come out straight.
Gob:I didn't understand a word you just said, little guy.
Gob · Conversion Therapist · Gob · Gob · Gob · Conversion Therapist · Gob:Anyway, that's why I came here. I'm ready to convert. / Our church runs a program that sees confused men through a very difficult time. / Perfect. Sign me up for that. / This isn't one of those places where, like, they get you to quit smoking by making you smoke tons of cigarettes until you're like, 'Oh, no, no more...' You know what I mean? / I don't want you to think I'm a whore. / No one would suggest that. Um, shall we get on our knees? / Oh, are we starting?
Gob · Church counselor:Gob at the conversion therapy church: 'This isn't one of those places where, like, they get you to quit smoking by making you smoke tons of cigarettes until you're like, Oh, no, no more...' / 'I don't want you to think I'm a whore.' / 'No.' / 'Shall we get on our knees?' / 'Oh, are we starting?'

Gob · Gay Mafia Boss:Gay Mafia: 'We know you're as straight as an Oklahoma highway. They're straight, right?' / Gob: 'I wouldn't know. I've never been in Oklahoma.' / Boss: 'You were in Oklahoma!' / Gob: 'You're right. In the bus and truck.' ♪ You're doin' fine, Oklahoma ♪

Gob · Gay Mafia boss:Gob assures the boss: 'My brother probably didn't have anything to do with your sister's disappearance.' / Boss: 'I'm not worried about it. To be honest, we fought all the time, so it's probably better for our relationship that she's no longer around.'
Gob:Gob: 'Tell me about it. My sister and I don't get along, either. She just left...' — then cuts off, suddenly aware he's admitted something

Gob · Buster:Gob: 'They released you, Buster.' Buster: 'I don't think so. Uh, I think I'd know if I wasn't on the lam.'
Gob:'Impossible. You weren't even a wanted child.' / [Buster realizes the poster's meaning]

Gob:Gob continues his speech: 'We had those checks issued to you, and you're thinking, We want to cash those checks. Well, why not? Why the hell not? Cash those checks.'
Gob · George Sr. · Lucille · Michael:'Wait till you find out who the new president is.' / 'Oh, no.' / 'Did somebody say, Wait until you find out who the president is? Yes, but then we figured it out, and your father said, Oh, no.' — Gob's revised entrance
Gob · Buster · Lucille:Lucille has recruited Buster as Gob's 'right-hand man' — but Buster only has a hook for a hand. Gob notes: 'That would've been better if it was his right hand.'

Gob:'Did my hand get off on this floor?' — Gob's geo-bead/George Michael misfire immediately after Buster arrives
