Episode 2x14 - "The Immaculate Election"

Director: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo

S2E14: 2708

Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything...

00:01 - 00:04

S2E14: 5375

and the one son who had no choice...

00:04 - 00:06

S2E14: 7625

but to keep them all together.

00:06 - 00:08

S2E14: 14125

It's Arrested Development.

00:14 - 00:15

S2E14: 18875

Michael was surprised to find the house...

00:18 - 00:20

S2E14: 21666

still a mess a week after the fumigation.

00:20 - 00:22

S2E14: 25333

You still haven't put this stuff back yet? You've got to be the laziest person in the world.

00:22 - 00:27

S2E14: 29333

If you weren't all the way on the other side of the room, I'd slap your face.

00:27 - 00:30

S2E14: 32750

- I asked you to clean this up. - Yeah, and you also asked me to call the fumigators...

00:31 - 00:34

S2E14: 35541

and you haven't even thanked me for doing that.

00:34 - 00:36

S2E14: 38375

Michael had asked her to do this, but that was long before...

00:36 - 00:39

S2E14: 41166

he began hiding his fugitive father in the attic.

00:40 - 00:42

S2E14: 44333

What? Uh- Oh, God.

00:42 - 00:46

S2E14: 48333

Polly, cover your mouth!

00:46 - 00:49

S2E14: 50666

Luckily, Michael was notified in time.

00:49 - 00:53

S2E14: 55541

Well, we had a deal, you know. I'd pay for everything, and you'd clean the house.

00:53 - 00:57

S2E14: 58625

- And you've only done it once. - She hadn't even done it that time...

00:57 - 01:00

S2E14: 61750

but instead, intercepted her mother's housekeeper...

01:00 - 01:03

S2E14: 64583

- as she was arriving for work. - Can I take you the rest of the way?

01:03 - 01:05

S2E14: 68166

- Mrs.- Mrs.- - Oh, I have to make one quick stop first.

01:05 - 01:10

S2E14: 73041

Almost done. Yours or mister's?

01:10 - 01:15

S2E14: 76291

Mister's.

01:15 - 01:17

S2E14: 79083

Lupe never accepted a ride from Lindsay again.

01:17 - 01:20

S2E14: 82125

Well, I'm sorry, Michael, but Tobias moving out hasn't been easy.

01:20 - 01:24

S2E14: 85291

For any of us.

01:24 - 01:26

S2E14: 87583

You didn't even notice he'd gone, did you?

01:26 - 01:28

S2E14: 89791

I did notice we'd stopped TiVoing The Christopher Lowell Show.

01:28 - 01:30

S2E14: 92666

- What happened? - I tried to give it one last chance.

01:31 - 01:34

S2E14: 95458

- Like what you see? - I've been looking for those.

01:34 - 01:37

S2E14: 99250

- You're gonna stretch them out. - That's all you can say?

01:37 - 01:40

S2E14: 102375

Well, excuse me for liking the way they shape my junk.

01:40 - 01:43

S2E14: 108250

You can pack your junk and get out.

01:46 - 01:50

S2E14: 111375

You're kicking me out? At the beginning of pilot season?

01:50 - 01:53

S2E14: 115291

You're not gonna make it as an actor, and we're not gonna make it as a couple.

01:53 - 01:57

S2E14: 119458

With nowhere to go, Tobias went to the studio...

01:57 - 02:00

S2E14: 122375

where he'd occasionally worked as a security guard and took up residence...

02:00 - 02:04

S2E14: 126041

in the apartment of Detective Frank Wrench, on the set of the television show...

02:04 - 02:08

S2E14: 129333

Wrench.

02:08 - 02:10

S2E14: 132000

I'm really sorry to hear that. How's Maeby taking it?

02:10 - 02:13

S2E14: 135416

- Well, she's really hard to read. - You haven't told her yet.

02:13 - 02:17

S2E14: 138500

Well, she was so excited the hot water in the shower was lasting longer.

02:17 - 02:19

S2E14: 141333

How could I have the heart to tell her it's because her father moved out?

02:19 - 02:22

S2E14: 144541

Tobias moved out?

02:22 - 02:26

S2E14: 148333

- Did he take the good video camera with him? - That's touching.

02:26 - 02:29

S2E14: 151666

- What do you need the camera for? - I'm making a magic video.

02:30 - 02:33

S2E14: 153583

I'm gonna tape myself doing tricks around the office.

02:33 - 02:35

S2E14: 158625

I'm calling it Tricks- Let me finish- around the Office.

02:36 - 02:40

S2E14: 161583

I figured out a way to make money while I'm working.

02:40 - 02:42

S2E14: 164666

That is what we call working. Something you might wanna try next time you're at the office.

02:42 - 02:46

S2E14: 171458

Incidentally, today we're having a big vote on that building renovation.

02:50 - 02:52

S2E14: 174208

- I need you there to help me vote it in. - Fine. I'll vote...

02:52 - 02:55

S2E14: 176583

as long as you give me the camera.

02:55 - 02:57

S2E14: 178250

I think we all know that George Michael was using it last.

02:57 - 03:00

S2E14: 182875

A fact the family had discovered when they'd gathered to watch a home video.

03:00 - 03:04

S2E14: 186583

Was that a 40th anniversary party, huh? Didn't cost us a thing.

03:04 - 03:08

S2E14: 189750

Is that Qusay Hussein at the omelet bar?

03:08 - 03:11

S2E14: 194416

Look at this. If these guys move, they don't get paid.

03:11 - 03:14

S2E14: 197625

It seems that as a 13-year-old, George Michael had been...

03:16 - 03:19

S2E14: 207125

- You're not my father! You'll never be! - I spent $2.1 million...

03:25 - 03:28

S2E14: 211250

of good company money and end up with this?

03:28 - 03:31

S2E14: 212041

You cut off my hand! Worth every penny.

03:31 - 03:33

S2E14: 217250

Even you have to admit that that was the lamest thing ever put on tape.

03:33 - 03:37

S2E14: 218708

Not so. Buster had once videotaped himself...

03:37 - 03:40

S2E14: 232833

His self-esteem is low enough as it is, and I have no idea why.

03:51 - 03:54

S2E14: 236041

I mean, he's such a great kid, and everybody loves him. He's George Michael!

03:54 - 03:57

S2E14: 240125

Truthfully, that's why I'm not that crazy about that Ann, but he'll move on.

03:57 - 04:02

S2E14: 244916

Unless he knocks her up like you did with his mother. Plus, she's religious.

04:02 - 04:06

S2E14: 248083

If that one gets pregnant, it stays pregnant.

04:06 - 04:09

S2E14: 255250

No, I didn't.

04:13 - 04:16

S2E14: 257875

I gotta work on that boy's self-esteem.

04:16 - 04:19

S2E14: 261583

Michael went to do so, only to hear Ann beating him to it.

04:20 - 04:23

S2E14: 264750

- I want you to do it. - I don't think I'm ready.

04:23 - 04:25

S2E14: 266750

- Of course you are. - I'm gonna lose it before I start.

04:25 - 04:27

S2E14: 269125

Don't start!

04:27 - 04:30

S2E14: 272583

Smoking. It's a killer. That Sammy Davis Jr. Should still be performing.

04:30 - 04:34

S2E14: 276416

- What's going on? - Ann thinks I should run for student body president.

04:34 - 04:37

S2E14: 279250

- That's a great idea. - Well, I don't have a chance.

04:37 - 04:40

S2E14: 282125

- They only vote for the cool kids. - But everyone loves you.

04:40 - 04:43

S2E14: 284833

You are George Michael! Who's cooler than you?

04:43 - 04:45

S2E14: 289375

Plus, you would be following in your old man's footsteps.

04:48 - 04:50

S2E14: 291625

- You were student body president? - Oh-ho.

04:50 - 04:52

S2E14: 294125

- It was close. - So you lost.

04:52 - 04:55

S2E14: 296250

- Who remembers? - I know I would remember.

04:55 - 04:57

S2E14: 298208

Ann, if my dad says that he won, then he won.

04:57 - 04:59

S2E14: 300166

Didn't say I won. Said I can't remember.

04:59 - 05:01

S2E14: 304083

But now that we're thinking about it, I seem to remember the other guy won the title...

05:01 - 05:06

S2E14: 307458

although there were plenty in the school who wanted to overturn the decision.

05:06 - 05:09

S2E14: 311666

I said, "Let's- Do not- Let's not put the school through that."

05:09 - 05:13

S2E14: 315500

Haven't thought about that for years. Good memory.

05:13 - 05:16

S2E14: 318375

Well, anyway, I'll help you run your campaign and make your commercial for election day.

05:16 - 05:20

S2E14: 321875

Well, that's great. The important thing is...

05:20 - 05:23

S2E14: 326041

to raise the old self-esteem and not to rush a physical relationship.

05:23 - 05:28

S2E14: 330583

- Those are really the two important things. - No. We're both waiting.

05:29 - 05:32

S2E14: 334708

- Good. - And then that first time, after waiting and waiting-

05:32 - 05:36

S2E14: 338583

It's gonna be so awesome, because it's not just gonna be my love and George Michael's...

05:36 - 05:40

S2E14: 341250

but God's love as well.

05:40 - 05:42

S2E14: 344208

- God, it's gonna be incredible. - All right. I'll do it. I'm in.

05:42 - 05:46

S2E14: 347458

- Campaign? - I'm pumped.

05:46 - 05:48

S2E14: 350000

As George Michael was on the path to higher self-esteem...

05:48 - 05:51

S2E14: 353083

Buster was losing what little he had.

05:51 - 05:54

S2E14: 355583

I can't put the aorta in with this thing.

05:54 - 05:56

S2E14: 358083

Oh, stop complaining.

05:56 - 05:59

S2E14: 361625

- Buster! - I'm sorry I'm an inconvenience to you, Mother.

05:59 - 06:03

S2E14: 366291

Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh!

06:03 - 06:08

S2E14: 370250

As Lupe felt sorry...

06:08 - 06:11

S2E14: 374416

for Buster's loss of a hand, Lindsay felt sorry for her loss of Lupe.

06:11 - 06:16

S2E14: 392125

Lindsay had cleaned one room and now had a garbage problem.

06:30 - 06:33

S2E14: 395750

And while looking for a spot to stash the refuse...

06:34 - 06:37

S2E14: 398541

She came upon an old friend.

06:37 - 06:39

S2E14: 401291

I haven't seen this in ages. EBay.

06:39 - 06:43

S2E14: 404791

Unfortunately, it was a new friend to George Sr.

06:43 - 06:46

S2E14: 408625

Polly!

06:46 - 06:49

S2E14: 411750

Back at the office, Michael came to regret having given Gob the video camera.

06:49 - 06:54

S2E14: 415208

Well, I certainly appreciate your decision...

06:54 - 06:56

S2E14: 418000

but if my brother was here, we could've voted this thing through.

06:56 - 06:59

S2E14: 421333

What's this? A stuffy office meeting?

06:59 - 07:03

S2E14: 425791

Well, maybe it's time for a little... Office Magic.

07:03 - 07:07

S2E14: 430750

- What's "office magic"? - Sometimes it's as simple as turning 10:45...

07:08 - 07:13

S2E14: 435375

in the morning into lunchtime!

07:13 - 07:17

S2E14: 439208

- Okay. - Why does lunch have to be so dull?

07:17 - 07:20

S2E14: 443083

Maybe you'd prefer some chicken instead!

07:20 - 07:25

S2E14: 447208

All right. Let's cut. Take five, everybody.

07:25 - 07:28

S2E14: 450583

- No, no. We're not takin' five. Hey, is this guy with you? - Yeah, he's an actor.

07:28 - 07:32

S2E14: 453791

Well, you know, I thought he was an investor. He voted against me...

07:32 - 07:35

S2E14: 456708

which is the vote I asked you to be here for, so-

07:35 - 07:37

S2E14: 459625

You know what? I don't know why, but that's it. I don't think I can work with you anymore.

07:38 - 07:41

S2E14: 463125

- You kind of have to, guy. I'm the president. - No. I'm the president.

07:41 - 07:44

S2E14: 466458

No. You lost the presidency, just like you did in high school when you refused to play dirty.

07:44 - 07:48

S2E14: 469458

- Worked when I ran. - We're talkin' about the office here, okay?

07:48 - 07:50

S2E14: 472750

I do all the work. I've been helping you. That's over now.

07:51 - 07:53

S2E14: 475083

Sorry to hear you say that, Michael, 'cause it just cost you your job.

07:53 - 07:57

S2E14: 478500

- I'm serious. It's over. - How do you call Security on this thing?

07:57 - 07:59

S2E14: 481583

- You hit pound-zero-zero to operate the system. - Pound is tic-tac-toe, right?

07:59 - 08:03

S2E14: 484541

- Yeah. Pound is right- - When I keep hitting that, the other thing flashes.

08:03 - 08:05

S2E14: 487125

- Hit pound and then zero-zero. - I do. I know.

08:05 - 08:08

S2E14: 489916

Tell you what. You don't need to learn the system, because you're out of here.

08:08 - 08:11

S2E14: 492125

You're fired.

08:11 - 08:13

S2E14: 494958

Have Security send a man up.

08:14 - 08:16

S2E14: 497291

You've got the wrong guy.

08:16 - 08:18

S2E14: 500083

Uh, no, you don't, but you don't have to do this.

08:18 - 08:21

S2E14: 503541

But the guard had recently lost halfhis tie to Office Magic.

08:21 - 08:25

S2E14: 507000

- Oh, I don't mind. - Get this. You getting this?

08:25 - 08:28

S2E14: 509958

Cheat out. You have to cheat out a little bit.

08:28 - 08:31

S2E14: 512833

- Oh, hey. - What was that all about?

08:31 - 08:34

S2E14: 515708

Your uncle doesn't not-work here anymore.

08:34 - 08:37

S2E14: 519208

- So I guess your mom told you about your dad moving out, huh? - No, she did not tell me that.

08:37 - 08:41

S2E14: 522708

- Oh. - But she doesn't tell me anything.

08:41 - 08:43

S2E14: 525500

- Neither of them do. - Sorry. Guess I shouldn't have said anything.

08:43 - 08:47

S2E14: 528750

Maybe I should just start keeping some secrets of my own.

08:47 - 08:50

S2E14: 531416

Why aren't you at school right now?

08:50 - 08:52

S2E14: 533833

Marry me.

08:52 - 08:55

S2E14: 536583

I'm so sorry. I forgot who I was talking to.

08:55 - 08:58

S2E14: 540000

I was just using your copier to make some campaign posters.

08:58 - 09:01

S2E14: 543250

Well, then, by all means, let me help you out.

09:01 - 09:04

S2E14: 546291

I mean, I don't even know why I'm doing it. He's gonna win by a landslide.

09:04 - 09:07

S2E14: 548875

- That's what I was tellin' him. - How do you know Steve Holt?

09:07 - 09:10

S2E14: 551250

- Are you in A.A.? - I was talkin' about George Michael.

09:10 - 09:12

S2E14: 554208

He's running for student body president. Who's Steve Holt?

09:12 - 09:14

S2E14: 556250

He's just the hottest guy in school. And he's won three years in a row-

09:15 - 09:18

S2E14: 559375

every year after his first junior year.

09:18 - 09:20

S2E14: 561000

So, then, he's more popular than George Michael?

09:20 - 09:22

S2E14: 564458

Well, that's like comparing apples and some fruit nobody's ever heard of.

09:22 - 09:26

S2E14: 568208

He might even finish after the Indian kid.

09:27 - 09:29

S2E14: 572041

I guess I gotta get down to the school and see if I can stop him from signing up, huh?

09:29 - 09:33

S2E14: 575083

Yes. You have to. And do you think you could put up a couple of these when you're there...

09:33 - 09:37

S2E14: 578625

'cause I was really not in the mood to go down there.

09:37 - 09:40

S2E14: 582166

Michael went to take care ofhis son...

09:40 - 09:44

S2E14: 586083

as Lucille discovered that hers was already being taken care of.

09:44 - 09:47

S2E14: 590750

Mother! - And yet you're too good to polish the candlesticks?

09:48 - 09:53

S2E14: 594458

- You're fired! - You can't fire me. I'm your son.

09:53 - 09:55

S2E14: 597166

- I'm firing you! - I was firing Lupe!

09:55 - 09:58

S2E14: 599583

Well, that makes more sense.

09:58 - 10:00

S2E14: 604958

- Lindsay came upon Lupe, who'd just been fired. - I no clean for family anymore.

10:03 - 10:06

S2E14: 608125

Can't you at least come over and Dust Buster or something?

10:06 - 10:10

S2E14: 611916

- I no does Buster anymore. - Fine.

10:10 - 10:13

S2E14: 615833

I'll Dust Buster! God.

10:13 - 10:17

S2E14: 622666

I'm in the bathroom of the Wrench set, and they've started shooting.

10:20 - 10:23

S2E14: 625000

Also, I don't think this is a real toilet.

10:23 - 10:27

S2E14: 629500

So I just wanted to check on Maeby and tell you that I haven't landed a part yet...

10:27 - 10:31

S2E14: 633458

but despite what you may think, my talent shall win out.

10:31 - 10:35

S2E14: 637208

Well, Maeby's fine. We've been looking for a cleaning lady, so if you hear of one-

10:35 - 10:39

S2E14: 641375

Shh- Shh. - ... dirty cop, so Frank Wrench is gonna clean ya.

10:39 - 10:41

S2E14: 643250

- Why is this door locked? - Cut!

10:42 - 10:44

S2E14: 647000

- Is somebody using the set bathroom? - I gotta go.

10:45 - 10:48

S2E14: 650208

Michael arrived at school to talk his son out of running for office.

10:48 - 10:52

S2E14: 653708

It took me all day, but I got the 10 signatures. I'm running for student body president.

10:52 - 10:55

S2E14: 658125

- Listen, George Michael- - We're gonna use your idea and highlight being chaste.

10:55 - 11:00

S2E14: 662666

I just meant you two shouldn't- You're not gonna put up this poster, are you?

11:01 - 11:04

S2E14: 667000

It's really gonna appeal to the Christian crowd.

11:05 - 11:08

S2E14: 669458

I couldn't have done this without you guys. I'm gonna win this thing.

11:08 - 11:10

S2E14: 673166

Four more years! Four more years!

11:10 - 11:15

S2E14: 676666

Four more years! Four more years!

11:15 - 11:17

S2E14: 679500

And Gob showed up at his mother's.

11:18 - 11:20

S2E14: 682583

- Well, guess who's been fired. - Michael fired you?

11:21 - 11:24

S2E14: 686166

No. I fired him. As a result, I'm no longer welcome in the office.

11:24 - 11:28

S2E14: 689666

What a coincidence. I just fired my housekeeper...

11:28 - 11:31

S2E14: 692458

but I've already found a replacement.

11:31 - 11:33

S2E14: 695125

It's a robot.

11:33 - 11:36

S2E14: 698791

- I hate it. I miss Lupe. - No. I won't let you go down that road.

11:36 - 11:40

S2E14: 702666

I want you to be strong, and you don't need the comfort of an immigrant...

11:41 - 11:44

S2E14: 705625

in Mother's old stirrup pants to make you feel that way.

11:44 - 11:46

S2E14: 708958

Oh.

11:48 - 11:49

S2E14: 711791

Ohh, you're hungry.

11:50 - 11:53

S2E14: 715583

Lindsay was about to find a replacement for Lupe as well. - Who is it?

11:53 - 11:57

S2E14: 718791

The new housekeeper. The agency sent me over.

11:57 - 12:00

S2E14: 721666

I'm sorry. I didn't call any-

12:00 - 12:02

S2E14: 725333

Oh, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Phyllidia Featherbottom...

12:02 - 12:08

S2E14: 730666

and I can cook and I can clean and I can take care of the little ones.

12:08 - 12:13

S2E14: 735541

I can also sing a song or two, if it comes in handy.

12:13 - 12:17

S2E14: 740250

When you put a squirt of frosting on your throat

12:18 - 12:22

S2E14: 743500

Before we take our medications

12:22 - 12:24

S2E14: 747000

Tobias had gained access to the studio's wardrobe and makeup department.

12:24 - 12:29

S2E14: 750458

He was eager to both see his daughter...

12:29 - 12:31

S2E14: 753750

and prove to his wife that he had what it took to be an actor.

12:31 - 12:35

S2E14: 758125

- It was the exact plot of the film Mrs. Doubtfire. - In the most delicious way

12:35 - 12:40

S2E14: 762750

There was also some Mary Poppins in there. - Let's get this house cleaned.

12:40 - 12:44

S2E14: 766500

Hey. Lindsay, the place looks fantastic.

12:44 - 12:48

S2E14: 770666

- What? Did you pay somebody to do this? - Oh, I've no need for payment.

12:48 - 12:53

S2E14: 774791

The love of the family is more than enough.

12:53 - 12:55

S2E14: 777458

I'm sorry. This is Mrs. Featherbottom.

12:56 - 12:59

S2E14: 780500

From Blackstone. I'm charmed, I'm sure.

12:59 - 13:01

S2E14: 783750

Ooh!

13:02 - 13:05

S2E14: 787208

Back to work.

13:05 - 13:07

S2E14: 788958

- I think he misses his daughter. - That's convenient...

13:07 - 13:10

S2E14: 792333

considering you didn't even have the courage to tell Maeby that he'd moved out.

13:10 - 13:13

S2E14: 795291

I'm sorry. I'm not the perfect parent, like you.

13:14 - 13:16

S2E14: 798291

I'm not that perfect. I pushed George Michael into running for office...

13:16 - 13:19

S2E14: 801291

and I think he's gonna get crushed by this kid Steve Holt.

13:19 - 13:22

S2E14: 804583

Yeah. I'd vote for Steve. Too bad Dad's on the lam.

13:22 - 13:26

S2E14: 808958

You could finally use some of his dirty tricks to get George Michael elected.

13:26 - 13:31

S2E14: 812875

As it happens, George Sr. Had come to...

13:31 - 13:33

S2E14: 815541

in the attic, and perhaps it was the effect oflosing his one friend-

13:33 - 13:37

S2E14: 818791

- Polly? - or the lingering effects of the fumigation-

13:37 - 13:40

S2E14: 822166

or perhaps it really was divine intervention-

13:40 - 13:43

S2E14: 825416

but he'd had a profound realization.

13:43 - 13:47

S2E14: 832291

Unfortunately, the timing of the enlightenment wasn't ideal for Michael.

13:50 - 13:54

S2E14: 836250

- That's why I need your help. - "Our Heavenly Father let his son die...

13:54 - 13:58

S2E14: 839541

so that our sins could be absolved."

13:58 - 14:00

S2E14: 843000

- Great. So you're a Christian now. - "We must all seek forgiveness."

14:00 - 14:04

S2E14: 846250

Well, I'll call the warden for you. You can ask him yourself.

14:05 - 14:07

S2E14: 850375

Well, I think that's for fresh crimes. Besides, you've always tried to lead a clean life.

14:07 - 14:13

S2E14: 855791

You and Gob were like those biblical brothers, Gallant and, um-

14:13 - 14:18

S2E14: 859750

"Goofuth."

14:18 - 14:20

S2E14: 862625

Michael realized he had lived like Gallant...

14:20 - 14:24

S2E14: 865375

and ifhe wanted to help his son's election...

14:24 - 14:26

S2E14: 867875

he would have to find... Goofuth.

14:26 - 14:28

S2E14: 870333

- Been lookin' all over for you, pal. - If you came to grovel...

14:29 - 14:31

S2E14: 872666

for the job of president, you're too late.

14:31 - 14:33

S2E14: 876291

- My brother already fired me. - Listen, I'm really sorry that I got upset with you...

14:33 - 14:38

S2E14: 880625

you know, and I never meant to, um- I didn't even mean to fire you.

14:38 - 14:42

S2E14: 883333

You know, and I never meant to, um- I didn't even mean to fire you.

14:42 - 14:44

S2E14: 886625

You know? I just got so frustrated, and, Gob, you are my brother.

14:44 - 14:48

S2E14: 890750

- Of course I'm gonna support you. - Well...

14:48 - 14:52

S2E14: 893750

now I feel bad for firing you.

14:52 - 14:54

S2E14: 896625

Listen, George Michael is running for student body president...

14:54 - 14:58

S2E14: 899416

and I have a feeling he's gonna get slaughtered.

14:58 - 15:00

S2E14: 901916

The guy he's running against is basically a young you.

15:00 - 15:03

S2E14: 906166

Wow. It won't be easy to win a race against myself.

15:03 - 15:08

S2E14: 910291

- Of course, if anyone can do it, I can. - That's right.

15:08 - 15:11

S2E14: 913625

- I wish I was 15 years younger. - He doesn't need to beat him.

15:11 - 15:15

S2E14: 917250

- He just needs to beat the Indian kid. - If I do this, you'll rehire me?

15:15 - 15:18

S2E14: 920416

- Of course I will. - The mere fact that you think you can...

15:19 - 15:21

S2E14: 923458

says to me that I shouldn't let you.

15:21 - 15:25

S2E14: 927208

Course, we both need the work.

15:25 - 15:29

S2E14: 930416

Robot'll get it.

15:29 - 15:31

S2E14: 932791

Where the hell is my maid? Robot!

15:31 - 15:34

S2E14: 935958

But the robot was busy elsewhere.

15:34 - 15:37

S2E14: 942583

What do you expect, Mother? I'm half machine!

15:40 - 15:44

S2E14: 946958

I'm a monster!

15:45 - 15:48

S2E14: 958250

Michael brought Gob in to consult on his son's campaign.

15:56 - 15:59

S2E14: 961458

Focus on the video and shy away from the virgin thing.

15:59 - 16:03

S2E14: 964708

Oh, we should definitely sacrifice the whole virgin thing.

16:03 - 16:06

S2E14: 967166

And I got the perfect way.

16:06 - 16:08

S2E14: 970375

We hand out rubbers that say, "We salute George Michael."

16:08 - 16:12

S2E14: 974125

- We're not supposed to have help. - I don't wanna make Steve look bad.

16:12 - 16:15

S2E14: 977291

Yeah, I just don't want my son to be embarrassed up there. Let's not play too dirty.

16:15 - 16:18

S2E14: 980791

- Uh, good point, two percent. - Two percent, huh? Is that how little I lost by?

16:18 - 16:22

S2E14: 983833

- Lost by? That's all you got. - Not really important.

16:22 - 16:24

S2E14: 986833

Well, if your son wants more than two percent, he's gonna have to go after Steve Holt.

16:24 - 16:28

S2E14: 990708

So I want you to tell me every awful rumor you've ever heard about this kid.

16:28 - 16:32

S2E14: 993791

I can't support this, and neither can the Christian kids...

16:32 - 16:35

S2E14: 996625

- that were gonna make you president. - Uh-

16:35 - 16:37

S2E14: 999541

Ann? I think she's really upset about this.

16:38 - 16:40

S2E14: 1002708

She'll forgive ya. You're George Michael.

16:41 - 16:44

S2E14: 1005958

Meanwhile...

16:44 - 16:47

S2E14: 1008500

Maeby was meeting her new singing nanny.

16:47 - 16:49

S2E14: 1010958

Now. Take your Fun-fun.

16:49 - 16:52

S2E14: 1014625

This is my mom's, and it's fen-phen, and it's been banned by the F.D.A.

16:52 - 16:56

S2E14: 1019166

Oh! Well. You should always read the label

16:56 - 17:01

S2E14: 1023250

You should always read it well in the most delicious way

17:01 - 17:05

S2E14: 1026166

- Mr. Fingerbottom? - Mrs.

17:05 - 17:07

S2E14: 1028416

Right. Mrs. I should really get going.

17:07 - 17:09

S2E14: 1031458

No, no, no, no, no. Sit back. What's the rush? Please.

17:09 - 17:13

S2E14: 1034708

I wanna hear about you. Tell me about your family.

17:13 - 17:16

S2E14: 1038500

I'm sure wherever your father is right now, she loves you very, very much.

17:16 - 17:20

S2E14: 1042416

Not enough to be honest with me.

17:20 - 17:23

S2E14: 1047708

And after a few days, Gob was ready...

17:26 - 17:28

S2E14: 1050083

to unveil George Michael's new message.

17:28 - 17:31

S2E14: 1052750

Drought, starvation-

17:31 - 17:34

S2E14: 1056625

These are the things my family has had to deal with for generations...

17:34 - 17:38

S2E14: 1060041

although, fortunately, not since we moved to Corona del Mar.

17:38 - 17:41

S2E14: 1063500

Go home, you terrorist!

17:41 - 17:45

S2E14: 1066708

How stupid do you have to be to say something like that?

17:45 - 17:48

S2E14: 1069875

- You're not wanted here! - Gob.

17:48 - 17:51

S2E14: 1073166

- Michael. - You got George Michael's tape?

17:51 - 17:54

S2E14: 1076541

Yeah. I gave it to the tech guy. Don't worry. It's very tastefully done.

17:54 - 17:58

S2E14: 1080208

Sure you didn't make that video in a cave?

17:58 - 18:01

S2E14: 1083000

- Perennial candidate Steve Holt! - Soon it was time...

18:01 - 18:04

S2E14: 1085625

for Steve Holt to play his video...

18:04 - 18:06

S2E14: 1088208

which had been produced by his new campaign manager, Ann Veal.

18:06 - 18:09

S2E14: 1092166

- Hi. I'm Steve Holt. - Evil!

18:10 - 18:14

S2E14: 1096041

This kid's popular?

18:14 - 18:17

S2E14: 1099041

Looks like a chick I did once in high school.

18:17 - 18:20

S2E14: 1101458

Get a haircut!

18:20 - 18:22

S2E14: 1103958

Recently, I've been dealing with the fact that I've never known my father...

18:22 - 18:25

S2E14: 1107541

but I finally found a new Father.

18:25 - 18:29

S2E14: 1110708

You're probably wondering what these footsteps are.

18:29 - 18:32

S2E14: 1114750

Well, this is my second take. It's kind of like a second chance at making good.

18:32 - 18:37

S2E14: 1122083

Yeah. Okay. We need to pull the videotape.

18:40 - 18:43

S2E14: 1125000

- My tape? - Why? - I've made a huge mistake.

18:43 - 18:46

S2E14: 1128166

But it was too late to do anything about it.

18:46 - 18:50

S2E14: 1132458

Steve Holt is a bastard. He doesn't even know who his real father is.

18:50 - 18:54

S2E14: 1137125

What else don't we know about Steve Holt?

18:54 - 18:59

S2E14: 1141208

George Michael Bluth is a cool guy.

18:59 - 19:02

S2E14: 1144458

His dad is a powerful executive working for this man.

19:02 - 19:06

S2E14: 1148125

The girls like him just fine. Young and old. It doesn't matter.

19:06 - 19:10

S2E14: 1151916

- In the dark. - That's why you had me do that?

19:10 - 19:13

S2E14: 1155166

George Michael had never been more embarrassed.

19:13 - 19:16

S2E14: 1158083

Until this part.

19:16 - 19:19

S2E14: 1160625

I couldn't find another tape.

19:19 - 19:21

S2E14: 1169541

I like Steve's more.

19:27 - 19:30

S2E14: 1172625

Guess I underestimated the religious vote.

19:31 - 19:34

S2E14: 1175750

- So Steve won? - No. Steve dropped out of the race.

19:34 - 19:37

S2E14: 1178791

He says he wants to spend some time trying to find his real father.

19:37 - 19:40

S2E14: 1181750

Rav Nadir, the Indian kid, he got 97% of the vote.

19:40 - 19:43

S2E14: 1185875

Well, that leaves three percent. You did better than I did when I ran.

19:43 - 19:48

S2E14: 1189625

I tied with Bart Simpson and "School Sucks."

19:48 - 19:50

S2E14: 1192041

I'm really sorry, buddy. Believe it or not, I did this...

19:51 - 19:53

S2E14: 1194458

because I didn't want you to feel bad about yourself.

19:53 - 19:55

S2E14: 1197041

Hey, it's Star Dork.

19:55 - 19:58

S2E14: 1200041

Hey, he knows you now. I'm really sorry, buddy.

19:58 - 20:01

S2E14: 1203583

It's just a drag. I mean, I'm pretty sure my girlfriend's gone forever...

20:01 - 20:05

S2E14: 1206625

and I never wanted to do this in the first place.

20:05 - 20:07

S2E14: 1210541

George Michael, was that really you doing those lightsaber moves?

20:07 - 20:13

S2E14: 1214916

- You were incredible. - I've only gotten better.

20:13 - 20:16

S2E14: 1217916

You're still doin' that?

20:16 - 20:19

S2E14: 1221750

So, you wanna grab a curtain rod and go over to my place?

20:19 - 20:24

S2E14: 1225708

Wow. I'd love that. Thanks, Ann.

20:24 - 20:27

S2E14: 1228916

You really make me feel good about myself.

20:27 - 20:30

S2E14: 1235250

Gotta do something about that kid's self-esteem.

20:33 - 20:37

S2E14: 1238875

On the next Arrested Development.

20:37 - 20:39

S2E14: 1243541

Yoo-hoo! I'll take you the rest of the way!

20:42 - 20:44

S2E14: 1246875

Lucille finds a housekeeper that she won't lose her son to.

20:44 - 20:48

S2E14: 1251291

Always keep from crying even though your heart is dying
