Lindsay:Lindsay: '...which would be a drag. [Snickers] Yeah, that's just the kind of joke Drag can't hear.'
Lindsay · Michael:Lindsay admits she never went to Sitwell as Michael asked. Michael: 'I give you one thing to do for the business, and you can't even do it.' Lindsay: 'I mean, if you'd tried and failed, I'd understand, but you didn't even try.' 'So I didn't even fail, and I don't see you giving me credit for that.'

Lindsay · Michael:Well, how about when she was sleeping with Uncle Oscar? / The guy looks just like Dad. I don't know, he's family. It seemed very natural they'd be together.
Lindsay · George Michael:George Michael, what I want you to do is run upstairs and run a nice bath for Uncle Tobias, and I want you to help him get in the tub. Can you do that for me? / And don't make the water too hot—the scabs come right off.
Michael · Lindsay:Mom was just using that warden to try to get Dad out. She's not trying to seduce him at all. / Oh, no, she is. She's spending the night with him. She just called to ask me to bring her a tube of vag... ...table paste. Hi, George Michael.

Lindsay · Michael:...plus fit an eyebrow pluck in there all before the weekend. / Perhaps you can talk to Maeby while you're getting your eyebrows plucked. It'll look like your eyes are watering 'cause you're sad.

Michael · Lindsay:Let's go ahead and wait outside. / So, you come here often? Cute button.
Lindsay:So, I've got a date with the guy with the brain-dead mom. I mean, it's just a picket for them to pull the plug on our loved ones.
Lindsay:All they're doing in there is trying to keep people alive. It's a life mill.
Tobias · Lindsay:And he talked me into protesting, too. Show me your sign. / [Tobias shows 'PULL THE PLUG' on one side] / No, the other side.
Lindsay:Now, why don't we leave the fruits with the vegetables, and go get a coffee?
Lindsay · Tobias · Narrator:I'm trying to get on with my life, and you know what? You can't deal with it. / No, I can't, Lindsay. You're not interested in me. And you're not capable of intimacy. / Well, just fake it! / Coma. / And believe it or not, that actually got through to them.
Lindsay:You can just say intercourse.

Lindsay · Michael:So I guess you haven't told Nellie what you're thinking. / No, I have not. I've been waiting for the right time.
Lindsay · Michael:That's funny. I'm going out tonight for drinks, too, with an exciting new man. / Really trying to make that marriage work, aren't you?
Lindsay:Well, excuse me, Judge Reinhold, but I'm feeling a little pressure here. I mean, if you had to have sex with Tobias in four months, you'd be shopping for a way out, too.
Lindsay · Tobias · Nellie:Michael. / Oh, my God, my husband! / Oh, my God, my wife! / Are you two here for each other?
Lindsay · Tobias · Nellie:- How dare you?! - How dare you?! / - And with another woman! - And with another man! / Wait, wait. You didn't plan this together?

Tobias · Maeby · Lindsay:And there you are, Maeby, coming out of your mother's third base.

Michael · Lindsay · Lucille:Stan Sitwell's always had a wild hair to buy this business. It's the only hair he's got. / He's an alpaca. / He has alopecia.
Michael · Buster · Lindsay:A 40-year-old woman has as much chance of getting married as she does of getting attacked by a shark. / Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were going to say seal. / Or a seal. / Oh, God!
Lindsay:I'm not going to sell my five percent, even though you haven't made an offer. Which would be how much, by the way?
Stan Sitwell · Lindsay:Lucille actually gave you less than her natural children. I hope that's not a crack about my hair color, lips, forehead, nose and teeth.
Lindsay · Stan Sitwell:Because at least I'm not wearing a rayon sweater set on my face. / It's alpaca actually. Cruelty-free. Really narrows your choices.
Lindsay · Stan Sitwell:Wait a minute. You're saying I'm adopted? / I'm sorry. I thought you knew. / Are you kidding me? This is the happiest I've been since the day I got my new nose.
Stan Sitwell · Lindsay:You were almost a Sitwell. But 37 years ago, the Bluths adopted you out from under us. So we said good-bye to you, our darling little three-year-old. / Wait, three-year-old? You said it was 37 years ago.

Lindsay · Lucille:Lindsay: 'No. You know what? The money is not important to me. My shaman said...' / Lucille: 'Oh, don't give me that mystical nonsense. You think you're better than I am, but you're a lot more like me than you think.'

Marky · Lindsay:No, I meant what we're gonna do to this guy — Herbert Love. / Oh.
Marky · Lindsay:Did you take the silver glitter? / Nope. I mean, I'd say check the junk drawer, but I can't differentiate anymore.
Marky · Lindsay:Marky's elaborate podium-hiding bomb plan, culminating in 'Blue in the face, yeah. That's better than what I had, actually. I was gonna say they'd be covered in ink and glitter.'
Lindsay · Marky:Or we can support Lucille 2, who he's running against. She's right across the hall. / No, no! She's part of the problem. Wait, you haven't been going over there, by the way? No one can know we're here. / Of course not. Does it look like I'm lying?

Lindsay · Lucille 2:Oh, speaking of, do you mind if I go through your couch cushions? / Oh, honey, I wish you'd take the rest of this tres leches cake. It's from a dear Hispanic supporter. And I'll never get it into the bay in one piece.
Lindsay:Hey, can I get you a fork? 'Cause that's my brother whose face you're licking.

Maeby · Lindsay:Of course you're here. I should've known you'd be supporting this right-wing, dangerous crackpot. / No, no. I am here undercover with my boyfriend. We are gonna take down Love with a random act of senseless nonviolence.
Maeby · Lindsay · Narrator:Maeby felt a foreign feeling. / I actually respect that. / Which is why, for the first time in her adult life... / So what are you doing here? / ...Maeby was totally honest with her mother. / I'm getting a lifetime achievement award for my work in the entertainment business. / I tried. Tell your therapist I tried.
Herbert Love · Lindsay:Is it just me, or are we the only two people who don't fit in with all these Orange County phonies? [Lindsay has no idea this is Herbert Love]
Herbert Love · Lindsay:What's your name, princess? / Cindy Featherbottom. / Of the Laguna Beach Featherbottoms? / Are you trying to find out where I live?
Lindsay · Marky · Narrator:Lindsay lost track of the time like Cinderella... and had forgotten to release Marky from the podium, and that's when she was struck with an eerie sense of déjà vu. / [Marky bursts from podium covered in blue] Oh, God, he blued himself.
Narrator · Lindsay:In fairness to Lindsay, it was Marky's face-blindness that led him to mistake this photo for the candidate. / Why Lindsay failed to recognize musical icon Nat King Cole cannot be explained. / But he's so modern looking.
Maeby · Lindsay:Are you really going to whore yourself out like that? / I am not a whore. / Yeah, you're a whore. / I am not a whore.
Maeby · Lindsay:Yeah, well, the bags are certainly a surprise. / You're not thinking of moving in, are you? / What? No. / Yeah, because I don't think Dad would be cool with it. / No, of course not. / Yeah. / Is he in? / No.
Lindsay · Maeby:Oh, what happened there? / Kids or people who like kids.
Lindsay · Marky · Narrator:Why didn't you just come out? / I couldn't do it; someone locked me in. / In fact, it was Gob, thinking he was trapping the magician Tony Wonder into one of his illusions.
Maeby · Lindsay:Oh, of course, that's why you were giving Herbert Love a little you time last night. / You were flirting with him to get Marky out of jail. / Well, yeah, that is what I should have been do- what I did, yeah, yeah. That's exactly what I should have and did do.
Herbert Love · Lindsay:Meet, greet. / Sure are sweet. / What a treat. / What did the lamb say? / Baa? / Bleat.
Herbert Love · Lindsay:Your cheekbones are even higher than my approval rating. / Your brain can register my cheekbones? / I'll register 'em to vote.

Lindsay · Michael:Tell him to take it down? / Or just not to put it up. No wall yet. / Oh, no, there's no— I knew that, yeah.
Michael · Lindsay:The girl I've been telling you about — she likes nice things, and if everything goes well tonight, I think I may want to take her out for a nice dinner. / You really like this girl? / She's Tracey. / Oh. / Fat Tracey or thin Tracey at the end?
Michael · Lindsay:You'd do this for me? / I will if you... / Yeah, sure, fine. / Yeah? / Yeah, I'll talk to him about the wall. / Good. / I mean, I want to change politics. / Great. / What's in it for me?
Lindsay · Herbert Love:Wait... I can't do this unless you promise to be against the wall. / What the hell? / It's better for my back anyway.
Lindsay · Herbert Love:That was so not quick. / Well, I paid for six hours. I want to get my money's worth. / Imagine what would have happened if you had the room for the whole night. / Oh, I got it for the whole month. / You crack me up.
Herbert Love · Lindsay:When love is near, your heart will be happy. / This way you'll always have a little Love near your heart. / [gives Lindsay a heart necklace] Aah, Jesus Christ! / Oh! / I'm sorry. / Why would you do that? / No, I thought it was cute, I saw it in a movie.
Lindsay · Narrator:Uh, Bluth. I made a reservation. / ...Lindsay had to pay for dinner the way she always had... by secretly putting it on her family tab.
Lucille Bluth (on phone) · Lindsay · Michael:Who's the cheap redhead? / Well, hello. / Hello. / Indeed.
Lindsay · Michael · Narrator:Great to see you. And you look so good. / So do you. I do hate the campaign, okay, but I'm changing him. I'm his key advisor. / Although without an office, she was forced to advise him in the back of his limo. And soon she was advising him all over town. And he respects me for it.
Lindsay · Michael:Oh! My name is Cindy Featherbottom. / Right. Oh, and I used to be a real estate tycoon, now I'm an impressive producer. Got it? / Got it.
Lindsay · Rebel Alley:Hi-lo. / Hi-lo? / Just like your plan to hurt the poor.
Michael · Lindsay:Uh, she is... um... [long pause] / High school. / Brother and sister. / We can't be brother-sister — she knows about the family. / We don't. / Just met. / Yeah, so, but let's eat.
Lindsay:Is everybody's food as delicious as my side salad?
Rebel Alley · Lindsay:It's just a little hard to sit two feet away from someone who doesn't believe in paying for a woman's contraception. / Well, to be fair, no, he does pay for the room.
Rebel Alley · Herbert Love · Michael · Lindsay:Aren't you glad your teenager's not here to see this? / You have a teenager? / I'm a movie prod... / Movie producer. / Producing a movie right now — Rebel's in it for Imagine Entertainment. / Oh! Is that Ron Howard's company?
Michael · Lindsay:I am not going to sit here and defend Ron Howard to someone who's never achieved half of what he's achieved. / Are you saying that to him or to me?
Rebel Alley · Lindsay:I can't believe that a woman would support this guy. / ...Lindsay found herself torn between who she was with and who she wanted to be. / And I assume by being with him, you just parrot his values. / I don't appreciate you saying that, okay? I have my own values, Rebel, and believe it or not, they're closer to yours than you think. / 'Cause I do appreciate you saying that. But what do I know? I'm just some shallow Hollywood...
Herbert Love · Lindsay · Michael:Now that is one redhead I do not want to have sexual relations with. / Well... / So... are we having dessert? / No. / No. Uh-uh. / Well, I don't want to be the one to say it, but if we are not going to have dessert, then I think I am going to leave. / Oh, no. / But we're going to discuss those new positions tonight. Wasn't that the plan? / I think the best position for me to be in tonight is with my wife, and tomorrow I'm taking my wife and children to see the beautiful American ocean.
Marky · Lindsay:I did it. I beat the system. I got out my way. / I thought my brother asked Warden Gentles to get you out. / No, I mean from the Dumpster. You wouldn't believe the scallops they're throwing away here, but I got out of that Dumpster my way.
Marky · Lindsay:On the Cinco de Cuatro, Love's boat is going to... / Sink-o. / ...go into the... Yes, sink-o.
Herbert Love · Lindsay:I cannot be under the covers with you anymore. It's over between us. My wife found out and I told her there was nothing emotional, that you were just a prostitute. / I'm not a prostitute. / Oh, I know, I know. The point is, we are through. Here's a little severance package for servicing my package.
Lindsay · Narrator:Lindsay tried to throw the money in his face, but she didn't have the muscle memory for it. / [She keeps it] / She's keeping it. / Oh, good.
Lindsay:I'm not some taco you can throw into the bay.
Lindsay:I'm not some taco you can throw into the bay.
Lucille Bluth · Lindsay:Mom. What are you doing here? / Lindsay. I thought you were a hooker. / Again. / It's a wig. / No one recognizes me in it. / Oh, I recognized you. / Let me rephrase that more kindly. / I hear you're hooking now with Herbert Love. / It's called hooking up.
Lucille Bluth · Lindsay:You are who you are — a blonde, waspy Orange County princess who doesn't care about anything but herself and that's okay. / Ah, sarcasm. / No, I'm a Bluth and so are you.
Narrator · Lindsay:Lindsay was done pretending to be red. / I don't need this anymore. / And she decided the best way to get back at her mother and Herbert Love was by working for their mutual rival.
Lucille 2 · Sally Sitwell · Lindsay:But I found someone more qualified than you. / Hello, Lindsay. / Sally. / It was Sally Sitwell, a woman who'd long been Lindsay's rival. / How is she more qualified than me? / She has integrity. / And look at this hair. / Look at this beautiful, long hair. / I made you a banner.
Sally Sitwell · Lindsay:Oh, she just means these photos of Herbert Love with a mystery redhead he's cheating on his wife with. / Who took these? / The first two were taken by the security camera in the Albertsons parking lot. And the third was left in the photo booth at the Ealing Club. / God, that was a photo booth?
Sally Sitwell · Lindsay:Herbert Love with his hooker? / She'll win for sure. / I can't let her do that. / I don't think you can stop her.
Lindsay:Herbert Love with his hooker? She'll win for sure.

Lindsay · Narrator · Bar Worker:Lindsay had also made it to Mexico, and was enjoying the fact that men were more respectful. Puta Night is Thursday. That's so nice. No, I'm not. That was based on her belief that 'puta' meant 'young.'
Bar Worker · Lindsay:No. Puta. I try to stay out of the sun.
Lindsay · Herbert Love:Oh, my God. Lindsay. What are you doing here? Guess I just had to get away. I was just ordering lunch. Can I buy you lunch? Oh, yeah. I'm so hungry, I could eat.
Lindsay:As a matter of fact, I am. I want to be part of the problem.
Lindsay · Spanish-speaking character:It's probably just because I'm younger. A puta.

Lindsay · Lucille:'I'm starting to worry you're not even capable of saying something nice about me in your speech.' 'Lindsay, saying nice things about you is easy. The hard part is not sounding sarcastic.'
Lindsay · Lucille:Lindsay wraps herself in a sheet in protest. 'You don't like anything under this. Why should I take it off?' 'You don't have a speech for me.'
Lucille · Lindsay · Narrator:Lucille's speech: 'I want to make special mention of my only daughter, who thinks I didn't write a speech.' / Lindsay: 'She stole my speech.'
