Maeby:Well, that was a freebie.
Maeby · Rita:Maeby's screenplay dilemma: 'He's in L.A., she's in Japan. How do I get these two characters together?' Rita: 'Maybe they could walk.' Maeby: 'Across the ocean?' Rita: 'If it's not too deep.'
Maeby · Rita:Maeby: 'No, deep is good. People are going to say, What the hell just happened? I better say I like it. Cause nobody wants to seem stupid.' Rita: 'I like it.' The Ocean Walker.
Maeby:Maeby: 'Holy crap, that's going to look good on a hat.'
Maeby:Maeby: 'Okay. Well, I'll have to go stop production on The Ocean Walker.'

George Michael · Maeby · Narrator:'Because anything can happen when two people share a cell, cuz.' / It's a line from New Warden. / Oh. Oh! Okay, yeah. / I don't know what I was worried about. / That would be the happiest moment George Michael would ever experience in his life.

Mort Myers · Maeby:Ah! Oh, it's terrifying! / Who did that for you, Industrial Light and Magic? / Kopelson Plastic and Silicon. / Did he do Land of the Dead?
Lucille · Maeby · Mort Myers:I'm thirsty... / Gangee. / We should start production on Gangee 2. / Well, I know she wanted a skin peel.
Maeby:Okay, first of all, Variety got it wrong, all right? We didn't even want this project. It was a co-finance with Miramax then, poof, Miramax is gone and we're still on the hook, and it turns out Jamie Kennedy can't even snowboard.
Narrator · George Michael · Maeby:And that's when he decided it was time to cheat off of her. / It also gave him an opportunity to smell her neck.
Tobias · Maeby:Now what we do is we paint our lips Joan Crawford red, pop on a little blue eyeliner... / Why the blue eyeliner? / Well, she felt that her eyes were too close together.
Maeby · George Michael · Narrator:We'd have to kiss. Wouldn't that be kind of weird after what we've been through? / Well, that was a long time ago. / It had been two months since they'd kissed.
Narrator · Maeby:And Maeby did the thing she had always thought was so corny... / I can't do this. I can't do this. / ...and ran away.
George Michael · Maeby:Well, you know, the Torah tells us that the larger wrong is to put our own feelings before the commitments we've made. You know, towards the sick, aged and gross. / That's not in the Torah.
Maeby · George Michael:You mean we're married? / No. It's just a piece of paper. It doesn't mean anything. / We should shred it. / It's creeping me out. / Yeah. Me... / But, if we just put it over the dresser, like we think it's a joke, and we would always know... / It is a joke. / I know. Unless we get it framed.
George Michael · Maeby:Hey, I thought tonight we could pop in (bleep) 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.
Maeby · George Michael:What the hell is that? / I bought you a weddingring... tone.
Narrator · Michael · Maeby:Narrator: 'Actually, he'd already told her about it.' — immediately after Michael says he's planning a 'surprise' party for Maeby.

Tobias · Maeby:'On the Next Arrested Development' tag: Tobias gives Maeby a scrapbook with 'a picture of your mother pregnant' and 'a whole series of your head starting to crown.'
Tobias · Maeby · Lindsay:And there you are, Maeby, coming out of your mother's third base.
George Michael · Maeby:You're not sleeping in here now. / What, so we can make out every night? / Does that not work for your schedule?

Lindsay · Tobias · Maeby:The Thanksgiving flashback/reference: a live duck wandered into the house, the family chased it into the oven — 'This is going to be the greatest Thanksgiving ever.' / 'It's a miracle!'
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 · Maeby:...perhaps we can engage in some sexual congress. / Although that's a total giveaway, right?
Maeby:I don't know what this nut was protesting tonight. I thought you were supposed to be sticking it to the man, not the other way around.
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.
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.

George Michael · Maeby:George Michael: 'Where's that from?' Maeby: 'It's from nothing.'
George Michael · Maeby:George Michael: 'Why don't you cough or something?' Maeby: 'Oh, right, like I'm dying.' Then she begins coughing dramatically while the song plays on. 'There's nothing keeping us together. I believe we're thinking the same thing.'
Narrator · George Michael · Maeby:George Michael is about to end things, Maeby thinks he wants to get more serious. Narrator reveals Maeby didn't want that — 'George Michael wasn't a very good kisser' — then launches into an extremely clinical anatomical description of his bad kissing technique.

George Michael · Maeby:George Michael: 'We're a couple of, uh, forces of nature.' Maeby: 'What?' George Michael: 'Forces of nature.'

George Michael · Maeby · Michael:Michael shows up as George Michael's uncle; Maeby says 'Didn't say it was your cousin.' George Michael: 'Now, that's smart, let him think there's a girl in here.'
Student 1 · Student 2 · Maeby:On the bus back to high school, students ask if she wants to get high. Then: 'Can you imagine what kind of loser pretends to be in high school when they're in their 20s?' 'Well, it's pretty gutsy, right? I mean, it's better to take the risk, right?' 'Yeah, maybe you're right.' 'Yeah, maybe you're right.' 'Cop.'
Maeby · Bartender:Maeby at the bar asks for a Macallan 12 neat, water back. Bartender asks for ID. She says 'Can we make it — marry me — a Wild Turkey?' as if changing the order absolves her of ID requirements.
Maeby · Bartender:Bartender: 'I'm supposed to believe you're 17?' Maeby: 'Oh, no, sorry. That's my fake for sneaking back into high school. Here we go — 23.'
Bartender · Maeby:Bartender recognizes Maeby: 'Oh, you're Maeby. Well, you can have one, but you got quite a bar tab.'
Maeby · Kitty Sanchez · George Michael:Maeby: 'George Michael, Kitty Sanchez.' Then Kitty: 'Drinks for the house.' 'This guy?' 'These guys are making a fortune off that "To Entrap a Local Predator" show they're on.' 'Were. Won't let us shoot in Laguna.'

Barry · Maeby:Barry the lawyer: 'After 21, it is illegal for you to enroll in high school in the state of California. As a matter of fact, you cannot even lurk.' 'What, do they got cameras in the bushes? Why would they do that? You can't even see into the locker rooms from there.'
Barry · Maeby:Barry: 'Oh, well, that's easy. You get something incriminating on him.' Maeby: 'Yeah, well, maybe I'll just keep a record of it, too, so I can follow up with my own bill.' Barry: 'Oh, very good. You should be the lawyer. Very good. Pro bono.'
Maeby · Narrator:Maeby runs into an ostrich in heat at the penthouse. 'And she wouldn't even let me get a cat.'
Maeby:Maeby finds a check from 'Gangie for facelift — Mother.'
Maeby · Narrator:Check made out 'From Gangie for facelift' — 'Mother.'
Maeby · Narrator:Maeby: 'I'm getting an Opie?' Narrator: 'The only bigger honor would be having an award like that named after you, I guess.'
Donny Richter · Maeby:Teacher Donny Richter: 'What is it going to take to get you to focus? Are you on drugs? Because, from what I hear, there might be an undercover cop at this school.'
Maeby:'You know what? I think I will do better once I get a little Mexican in me.'
Maeby · George Michael:Narrator: 'Maeby got her cousin to drive her to the Opies so she could impress him with her achievements.' Cut to: 'Well, I'm going to go mingle with a bunch of 13-year-olds who think they can still play fifth grade.'
Mort Meyers · Maeby:Mort Meyers: 'They only give that award away to somebody after they die or, even worse, after your career is dead.' Maeby: 'Really?' Mort: 'Well, consider yourself lucky. They told you your career was over.'
Mort Meyers · Maeby:Mort: 'When they kick you out of the business, save face by starting your own Internet company.' Maeby: 'You started an Internet company?' Mort: 'It's called Schnoodle.'
George Michael · Maeby:George Michael: 'Fakeblock is just a software I'm developing. The whole point is that it's private. So you can't be telling people about it.' Maeby: 'No, we got to tell people about it. I just got a lifetime achievement award. I'm finished.'
Maeby · George Michael:Maeby: 'Also, I think you should consider calling it "The" Fakeblock. It's cleaner.' George Michael: 'Like "The Netflick."'
Maeby · George Michael:Maeby: 'What, you think they invite the animals and ask them to wait while they build the zoo? No, that would be a bloodbath.' George Michael: 'Yeah, a total (bleep) bloodbath.'
Maeby · Narrator · George Michael:Maeby: 'Come on, this could be my only chance to be a Harris.' George Michael: 'A Harris?' Maeby: 'All right, fine.' Narrator: 'Oh, heiress. You meant... You don't pronounce the "H."' Maeby: 'I pronounce the "H."' Narrator: 'No, but that's not how the word is...' Maeby: 'You know, we say words the way we say them for a reason.'
Maeby · Rebel Alley:Maeby: 'This is actually the opposite of Facebook. It's the antisocial network.' Rebel: 'It prevents piracy, right?' Maeby: 'Really?'
Maeby · Perfecto:Maeby tries to entrap Perfecto as a predator: 'I may only be 17, Perfecto, but I know you're a cop.' Perfecto: 'Yeah, there it is, that cop stare.' Maeby: 'I got to tell you, I find it very sexy.'
Maeby:Mort at the Opies accepts his award: 'Thank you, Kirk Cameron, for that incredibly Bibley introduction.'
Maeby:Maeby's Opie speech devolves into a profanity-filled declaration of starting Fakeblock: 'Tie yourself to your chair, because this is going to be a rough (bleep) ride. I'm leaving this (bleep) dying business to join the software game. Double (bleep) newsflash. I'm starting Fakeblock with George Maharis...' escalating through multiple 'go (bleep) yourself' statements, ending with 'Please welcome the talented voices of Phineas and Ferb.'

Maeby: 'Yeah, it's technically hers anyways, 'cause of the Bluth Company.' George Michael: 'Oh.' 'But I did get you her 1988 yellow Cadillac.' 'Yeah?' 'She only uses it to and from hip replacements.'

Maeby · George Michael:Welcome to the shitty parents club. No, no, we don't have kids. No.
George Michael · Maeby · Narrator:Just the cousins. Mm-hmm. Which turned out to be... Primos! This crew.
Maeby · George Michael:I just know that you don't like standing up to people on horses with guns. No, I never really was that guy.
George Michael · Maeby:Fakeblock doesn't actually exist. Are you telling me that the software that's supposed to keep people's computers unhackable and keep any kind of information private doesn't exist? How did you find out? It was easy. I just looked in your computer under 'Secrets.'
George Michael · Maeby:Oh, you looked in my 'Please Don't Read' folder? No, that one was empty. I found it in 'Just Odds and Ends.' Great, you got past my double bluff.
George Michael · Maeby:Get going with my own goop. Goop? What is goop? If you have to ask, you probably don't know what it is. I don't know what it is. I feel like maybe you don't know what it is. Maybe it's 'go-op'? To me, that would make less sense. Maybe that's what 'go-op' is. Not everything always making sense.
Maeby · Volunteer:So, you're trying to, like, teach them a lesson or...? We're volunteers. Who did you think the water was for? Oh. I thought you were just trying to get me to give you a higher Uber rating.
Lindsay · Maeby · Narrator:I'm running for Congress, and I don't have a campaign manager and I need you. / Maeby had never heard her mother this vulnerable. Yeah. Sounds great. I'm in.
Maeby · Narrator:Hey. It is hard to resist. Taking advantage of the vulnerable.
George Michael · Maeby:Hi... don't like it. / What? My hair? No, no, I like it. I just, uh, don't like that I'm just seeing it now.
George Michael · Maeby:I guess I was picturing you at 16. But I-I don't know why I... do that. But why did you do that?
Maeby:Well, truthfully... No, I'll just tell you the truth: it's a wig.
Maeby:Everything I've given her to do or say has only made her go up in the polls. It's like the more offensive it is, the more people get behind her.
Lindsay · Maeby · Narrator:She had her mother mock a reporter who had a speech problem... This so-called reporter from the Wee Guardian says I was right.
Reporter · Maeby:While shocking, the video seems to have only given her a big rise in the polls. It certainly had that effect on me. - Not necessary! - Don't sack me.
Maeby · George Michael:Yeah. That's why I came up with the idea for us to kiss. / So the kissing is part of a plan?
Maeby:And then, I open my mouth, and I have these rotted out meth teeth. And I'm like, 'Then why do I gotta my cousin for some meth money, Mom?' You know, or something like that.
Maeby:That's what the seniors do to keep the young people away. They don't want 'dot-commers' taking over.
Maeby:Oh, my God, I've become my father. ♪ In the most delicious way! ♪
George Michael · Maeby:I didn't want to say anything, but I was like, 'Maeby looks like a 65-year-old.' What if I told you I was 75? Holy shit.
Maeby:It's the teeth. It's the same guy who's doing my meth teeth, you know, for the family of the year thing.
Maeby · George Michael:Where I write a speech for my mom, she talks about how great I am, then... Then you open your mouth and you're like, 'So why do I have to turn tricks for meth money?'
Maeby:I mean, when people catch on, they either forget or they die.
Maeby:Of course, what is there to steal? A few barstools and some family pictures? Anyway, that's how I got those barstools and all these great pictures of grandkids.
Narrator · Maeby · Stan Sitwell:But whom Maeby did not. [Recognition of Stan Sitwell] Hello.
Maeby:I am her. Sister. I am her sister. You're going the wrong way. Annette? Great idea. Do you think they have one? Have what? Annette. Yes, that's me.
Maeby:Lost all my personal paperwork in Hurricane Cantina.
Maeby:Unless I'm expected to lose a home for the second time.
Maeby:Of course, I could just pack up my shorty shorts, my silky pajamas, my peekaboo bras, my ticklers, sex knobs, and lacy hoo-has and hit the road.
Maeby · George Michael:Oh. He can't hear a thing. He's got horrible aids. Shoedini! The world's first shoe horn... Oh, hearing aids. Yeah, yeah, here they call them aids. The other ones they call aids.
Maeby:Don't worry, if he asks who you are, I'll just tell him you're Tom Collins. He's always asking for a Tom Collins.
Maeby:Believe me, I'm in over my head enough as it is being George Maharis.
Maeby:You perverted that into a way to not hurt him. And then I had to turn down this scuba trip, which is also rude.
Maeby · George Michael:You passed out at the aquarium. They make you feel like you're underwater with all these giant... Dolphins? I think that was some kind of smiling, kind of bemused baby shark.
Maeby:You go to Rebel's, you take my bag of lacy ticklers, hoo-ha bras, dog toys, and sex knobs with you. And you act like you're expecting a booty call, as the old people think the young people say.
Maeby:You tell her, 'I'm here for a quickie, and I'm out of here.' Mr. Brash. And she'll drop you like a buttered cane.
George Michael · Maeby:Something old people say? Yeah. I'm trying to get it going.
Maeby:Maeby's plan: have someone show up with meth teeth saying 'Why do I gotta ask my cousin for meth money, Mom?' to embarrass Lindsay on camera.
Maeby:'Where are my meth teeth? It's been over two hours!'
Lucille · Lindsay · Maeby:'She's got a daughter who has many faces, and all of them are beautiful.' / Lindsay: 'She stole my speech.' / Lucille: 'Maybe you can show the world the smile I love so much.' / Maeby: 'That doesn't make sense without meth teeth!'
Maeby · Lindsay:'What a waste of a dream.' / 'It's nothing. I can see that now.' — Lindsay and Maeby after the speech genuinely moves Lindsay.
Lindsay · Maeby · Narrator:Lindsay: 'I think I'm gonna go now. Find out who my real family is. Find my real mother.' Narrator: '...Lindsay stole a line from Michael.' / Maeby: 'I'm out of here.'

Maeby · Narrator · Lou:Well, not exactly. They weren't cops. / This is wonderful. I've always wanted to be a Keystone Cop. It would be my honor to wear this handlebar mustache in the 2nd of July parade.
Maeby:Good-bye, Annette. Good-bye to our teeth that make it look like I'm smiling so I don't have to.
