Episode 2x17 - "Spring Breakout"

Director: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo

S2E17: 2875

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

00:01 - 00:04

S2E17: 5416

and the one son who had no choice...

00:04 - 00:06

S2E17: 7666

but to keep them all together.

00:06 - 00:08

S2E17: 14166

It's Arrested Development.

00:14 - 00:15

S2E17: 20333

Michael Bluth had set up a meeting with Cal Cullen...

00:18 - 00:22

S2E17: 24041

owner of one of the largest parcels ofland in Orange County.

00:22 - 00:25

S2E17: 27041

I hope that I can prove to you that we have a very impressive company.

00:25 - 00:28

S2E17: 30875

Well, your family did not come off well on last night's Scandalmakers.

00:28 - 00:32

S2E17: 33708

Scandalmakers was a show...

00:32 - 00:34

S2E17: 36125

that reenacted headline-grabbing stories.

00:34 - 00:37

S2E17: 38166

The latest was about the Bluth family...

00:37 - 00:39

S2E17: 40333

the rights of which had been signed away by Tobias...

00:39 - 00:41

S2E17: 43083

in exchange for the part of George Sr.

00:41 - 00:44

S2E17: 46375

When allegations surfaced he'd illegally built homes in Iraq...

00:44 - 00:48

S2E17: 49666

George Bluth Sr., assisted by his secretary, Kitty...

00:48 - 00:51

S2E17: 52166

escaped the country.

00:51 - 00:53

S2E17: 55250

Due to poor acting, the burden of the story was placed on the narrator.

00:53 - 00:57

S2E17: 58791

Only to be found hiding under one of the homes that he built.

00:57 - 01:01

S2E17: 62500

He was actually found in a hole near the house...

01:01 - 01:03

S2E17: 65708

but this inattention to detail was typical...

01:04 - 01:06

S2E17: 68500

- of the laziness the show's narrator was known for. - I can't survive under the house.

01:06 - 01:09

S2E17: 71666

Perhaps an attic shall I seek.

01:10 - 01:13

S2E17: 74458

Real shoddy narrating. Just pure crap.

01:13 - 01:15

S2E17: 77166

But we're back on track, and we are scandal-free.

01:15 - 01:18

S2E17: 80500

Hey! You start the meeting without me?

01:18 - 01:22

S2E17: 84541

Mother, uh, this is Cal Cullen. You remember my mother, Lucille.

01:22 - 01:26

S2E17: 88041

We're right in the middle of talking...

01:26 - 01:29

S2E17: 90500

about this exciting giveaway spa package to entice buyers.

01:29 - 01:31

S2E17: 92791

You know, he's never taken me anywhere.

01:31 - 01:33

S2E17: 95500

Oh, no. We have to live high and dry.

01:34 - 01:37

S2E17: 98000

Well, you're certainly not dry.

01:37 - 01:39

S2E17: 101458

Michael, I'm not a prude, but it's 1:00 in the afternoon. Is your mother drunk?

01:39 - 01:43

S2E17: 105083

I'd have to get up pretty early to get drunk by 1:00.

01:43 - 01:47

S2E17: 108375

As it turns out, she had gotten up early...

01:47 - 01:49

S2E17: 111458

and had taken pain medication because of a hangover-related headache.

01:49 - 01:53

S2E17: 115791

However, she mistook the "drowsy eye"alcohol warning...

01:53 - 01:57

S2E17: 119041

for a "winking eye"alcohol suggestion.

01:57 - 02:00

S2E17: 122875

Fortunately, she had the good sense not to drive herself to the meeting.

02:00 - 02:04

S2E17: 126000

No. I'll call for a car.

02:05 - 02:07

S2E17: 129708

Unfortunately, this was after a failed attempt to do so.

02:07 - 02:12

S2E17: 133416

Who the hell put-

02:12 - 02:14

S2E17: 136250

Michael, I'm sorry. I cannot do business with you.

02:14 - 02:17

S2E17: 139125

I mean, I couldn't afford to end up on Scandalmakers.

02:17 - 02:20

S2E17: 142166

Oh, you could afford to do anything you want. You're just a big chicken.

02:20 - 02:23

S2E17: 151708

Michael realized it might be time...

02:30 - 02:32

S2E17: 153750

to deal with his mother's apparent problem.

02:32 - 02:34

S2E17: 156166

Okay, that seems as good a place as any to end the meeting.

02:34 - 02:37

S2E17: 162583

No, I'm not doing another intervention with her.

02:41 - 02:43

S2E17: 164875

Last time, I felt terrible for a week.

02:43 - 02:45

S2E17: 167416

One year earlier, the family had tried an intervention.

02:46 - 02:49

S2E17: 170791

- You're pouring a drink? What are you doing? - What if she's mad?

02:49 - 02:52

S2E17: 173791

- Good point. - Perhaps I'll have a little sip of something.

02:52 - 02:55

S2E17: 176458

Guys, what could she do to us?

02:55 - 02:57

S2E17: 179958

Do we have anything single malt?

02:58 - 03:01

S2E17: 182625

And although the intervention didn't work-

03:01 - 03:04

S2E17: 185750

- We think you have a "prollen." - You're a mesh.

03:04 - 03:07

S2E17: 189000

It turned into one of the Bluth family's better parties.

03:07 - 03:10

S2E17: 199875

Well, maybe an intervention is the wrong approach.

03:18 - 03:21

S2E17: 202375

What about rehab? She was just a mess at the meeting.

03:21 - 03:23

S2E17: 204583

Where were you, by the way? I could've used your help with Mom.

03:23 - 03:26

S2E17: 208333

I believe I told you I was gonna be out for the holidays. It's spring break.

03:26 - 03:30

S2E17: 212166

Not that I can enjoy it. My reputation's been ruined...

03:30 - 03:33

S2E17: 215583

by that jerk Phillip Litt, who put my one magic show flub on his DVD.

03:33 - 03:37

S2E17: 218583

Gob had performed a magic act at an earlier spring break...

03:37 - 03:40

S2E17: 221875

to get exposure on the best-selling video series...

03:40 - 03:43

S2E17: 224666

Girls with Low Self-Esteem.

03:43 - 03:45

S2E17: 229916

Or two flubs or whatever.

03:48 - 03:49

S2E17: 230958

There were seven flubs...

03:50 - 03:52

S2E17: 233500

and after the show, he signed a release.

03:52 - 03:54

S2E17: 236333

- You're not gonna use the time that I screwed up, right? - That wasn't part of the act?

03:54 - 03:58

S2E17: 239708

Come on, man. I'd never do anything to embarrass you.

03:58 - 04:01

S2E17: 242083

Please.

04:01 - 04:03

S2E17: 246291

Oh. Uh, you don't know a good bird hospital, do you?

04:04 - 04:08

S2E17: 249250

You're getting all this, right?

04:08 - 04:10

S2E17: 252125

Well, at least the Orange County Register didn't say of your performance...

04:10 - 04:14

S2E17: 256291

"If this is who George Sr. Is, let's hope he remains missing."

04:14 - 04:18

S2E17: 259625

Meanwhile, they loved Dave Attell's risky choice...

04:18 - 04:21

S2E17: 262583

of wearing cutoffs while portraying me.

04:21 - 04:23

S2E17: 264958

In fact, Mr. Attell was portraying...

04:23 - 04:26

S2E17: 267375

Tobias's actual never-nude affliction...

04:26 - 04:28

S2E17: 269958

but this perplexed the Scandalmakers audience...

04:28 - 04:31

S2E17: 274000

due to the unfocused nature of the narrator's explanation.

04:31 - 04:35

S2E17: 277208

No, I think mine's worse. You should've seen what happened to me on the boardwalk today.

04:35 - 04:38

S2E17: 280291

They were laughing at me. Me!

04:39 - 04:41

S2E17: 285791

Those tapes are awful. Women tricked into taking their tops off.

04:44 - 04:47

S2E17: 288750

I have a daughter I don't want corrupted by the media.

04:47 - 04:50

S2E17: 290916

Unbeknownst to Lindsay...

04:50 - 04:51

S2E17: 292916

Maeby was a fairly prominent member of the media...

04:51 - 04:53

S2E17: 296500

as she had secretly conned her way into a job as a film executive.

04:54 - 04:58

S2E17: 302750

She'd go to the guy just 'cause he said she's awesome?

05:00 - 05:02

S2E17: 304291

- You call that dialogue? - Hey, I didn't write it.

05:03 - 05:05

S2E17: 307458

No, but you're gonna fix it. It's a spring break movie. Find out what they sound like.

05:05 - 05:09

S2E17: 310958

Oh, yeah, right. Do you really think I look college-aged?

05:09 - 05:12

S2E17: 313750

I'm not drunk. But I'm willing to be. Hint.

05:12 - 05:15

S2E17: 317291

Oh, Mort, you're gonna be so easy to blackmail. Hint.

05:15 - 05:19

S2E17: 325166

This pig Phillip Litt is out there asking girls to take their tops off.

05:23 - 05:26

S2E17: 329083

- It's an outrage. - Well, of course you feel that way. You're jealous.

05:27 - 05:31

S2E17: 332875

You're a surfboard. But I do agree he is a pig.

05:31 - 05:34

S2E17: 335333

Hey! What the hell was that for?

05:34 - 05:36

S2E17: 337500

Can we stop worrying about girls with low self-esteem...

05:36 - 05:38

S2E17: 340541

and start focusing on sobering up the woman who gave us ours?

05:38 - 05:42

S2E17: 344250

- What do you think about rehab? - She won't go willingly. I can tell you that.

05:42 - 05:46

S2E17: 348458

May I make a suggestion? Get implants. Really.

05:46 - 05:50

S2E17: 351541

Wha- Come on! This stuff is expensive!

05:50 - 05:52

S2E17: 354291

So Michael set out to convince his mother that she needed help.

05:52 - 05:55

S2E17: 357500

Hello? Hello? I have a surprise for you.

05:56 - 05:58

S2E17: 360083

- Did I win the prize? - You won the prize.

05:59 - 06:01

S2E17: 363208

I won the prize! I won the prize! For what?

06:01 - 06:05

S2E17: 366500

We were gonna give one employee a week at the spa.

06:05 - 06:07

S2E17: 369125

We were even gonna put them in the ad, but then I thought...

06:07 - 06:10

S2E17: 371625

"What about Mom? She's elegant. She deserves it."

06:10 - 06:12

S2E17: 373958

I was gonna tell you at the office, but then I thought...

06:12 - 06:15

S2E17: 377583

"No. If I bring her around now, she might vomit on the overhead projector."

06:15 - 06:19

S2E17: 381875

I'm so embarrassed about that. I don't think I was supposed to drink with my medication.

06:19 - 06:23

S2E17: 384958

Actually, it wasn't even her medication.

06:23 - 06:26

S2E17: 388416

Of course, I can't take Oscar to an elegant place.

06:27 - 06:29

S2E17: 391333

His only remaining pair of pants blew apart the other day.

06:29 - 06:32

S2E17: 394375

I was thinking that I would go with you for the week.

06:32 - 06:35

S2E17: 397916

So what? I just stay here alone? I'm not exactly equipped to run this place by myself!

06:35 - 06:39

S2E17: 401125

You can't just leave me here alone!

06:40 - 06:42

S2E17: 404500

Have a great trip.

06:43 - 06:45

S2E17: 406791

But it wouldn't turn out to be a great trip at all.

06:45 - 06:49

S2E17: 419166

As Michael's mother was being held against her will...

06:57 - 07:00

S2E17: 422333

George Sr. Was about to be confronted with a similar problem.

07:00 - 07:04

S2E17: 425208

Kitty. How'd you find me?

07:04 - 07:06

S2E17: 427958

I thought you were dead until I saw Scandalmakers!

07:06 - 07:09

S2E17: 431708

They got so much wrong. But something about your son-in-law's comment...

07:09 - 07:13

S2E17: 436375

"Perhaps an attic shall I seek," had the ring of truth to it.

07:13 - 07:18

S2E17: 439458

Notice it wasn't something the narrator said.

07:18 - 07:20

S2E17: 442958

- You abandoned me in Mexico! - Kitty, honey, l-I know you're mad.

07:20 - 07:25

S2E17: 447083

Stop talking, George. You stop talking!

07:25 - 07:28

S2E17: 450166

I am in charge now. You're coming with me.

07:28 - 07:31

S2E17: 453083

No, I can't. I ca- I have a life here.

07:31 - 07:34

S2E17: 456125

There are people who- who depend on me.

07:34 - 07:37

S2E17: 459083

Fine. But I can't make any promises...

07:37 - 07:40

S2E17: 461875

about what happens to that cooler of evidence I have.

07:40 - 07:43

S2E17: 465458

If I could just have a moment to say good-bye.

07:43 - 07:47

S2E17: 470375

Meanwhile, at the banana stand...

07:49 - 07:51

S2E17: 472541

Maeby was hoping to find some witty banter...

07:51 - 07:53

S2E17: 474958

with which to authenticate her feature film.

07:53 - 07:56

S2E17: 477541

I want the hot chick to serve me.

07:56 - 07:58

S2E17: 480041

What other words would you use to describe me?

07:58 - 08:01

S2E17: 482291

- Um, she's 15, and she's my cousin. - So?

08:01 - 08:03

S2E17: 485166

So you can't touch your cousin- my cousin.

08:03 - 08:06

S2E17: 488166

You know, you don't have to stick around.

08:07 - 08:09

S2E17: 491166

I could just work late tonight. It doesn't matter, 'cause my girlfriend, she's out of town.

08:09 - 08:12

S2E17: 494041

She's actually kind of lucky in the end...

08:13 - 08:15

S2E17: 496375

'cause all these guys would be coming on to her.

08:15 - 08:17

S2E17: 499000

Yeah, you really dodged a bullet there.

08:17 - 08:20

S2E17: 502416

Nearby, Phillip Litt was making his latest video.

08:20 - 08:24

S2E17: 506041

Everybody gather around! Gather around! Ladies, here's the deal.

08:24 - 08:27

S2E17: 508916

We have hats. You have breasts.

08:27 - 08:30

S2E17: 511416

You show your breasts, you get a hat, okay?

08:30 - 08:32

S2E17: 514458

So if anyone wants to get back at Daddy, now's the time.

08:32 - 08:36

S2E17: 518625

- Whoo! Wait. Cut, cut. We got a surfboard in the shot. - Surfboard. Stop tape.

08:36 - 08:40

S2E17: 522250

We're here to stop you from taking advantage of these girls.

08:40 - 08:43

S2E17: 527291

You know what? You're sassy. You're sexy. You speak your mind. There's nothin' hotter.

08:45 - 08:48

S2E17: 530875

- Give her a hat, Barry. - I don't want a hat. I want you to leave these women alone.

08:48 - 08:52

S2E17: 533916

I'm giving them a chance to be idolized...

08:52 - 08:54

S2E17: 536083

which is an opportunity these women are never gonna have again.

08:54 - 08:57

S2E17: 538375

- I want to be ideolized. - Yeah, you do!

08:57 - 08:59

S2E17: 541375

Eileen, stop it. You've got nothing to gain from that.

08:59 - 09:03

S2E17: 544625

That's easy for you to say. You already have a hat.

09:03 - 09:05

S2E17: 547208

Come on, girls!

09:06 - 09:08

S2E17: 550125

This is no way to get your daddies to notice you!

09:08 - 09:11

S2E17: 553375

Nearby, Lindsay's own daddy failed to notice her...

09:11 - 09:14

S2E17: 556333

as he was being taken to a local motel...

09:14 - 09:17

S2E17: 559416

where he refused Kitty's sexual advances.

09:17 - 09:21

S2E17: 563291

You promised me power and a child, and I have neither.

09:21 - 09:25

S2E17: 567708

I'm gonna take care of this problem... on my own.

09:25 - 09:30

S2E17: 574916

You never promise crazy a baby.

09:33 - 09:36

S2E17: 578250

George Sr. Was abandoned and longed for Lucille...

09:36 - 09:40

S2E17: 581875

and Buster felt the same way.

09:40 - 09:43

S2E17: 587166

Upon her knee

09:44 - 09:49

S2E17: 592333

- So fine to be - Whoo-hoo-hoo!

09:49 - 09:55

S2E17: 596916

Mother and boy

09:55 - 09:58

S2E17: 599833

Restless, Buster went to the kitchen...

09:58 - 10:00

S2E17: 601916

to find something to help him sleep...

10:00 - 10:02

S2E17: 604583

- when he came across Lucille's emergency stash of wine- - Motherboy

10:02 - 10:06

S2E17: 607750

which he mistook for a giantjuice box.

10:06 - 10:09

S2E17: 615125

It was the first taste of alcohol Buster had since he was nursing.

10:12 - 10:17

S2E17: 618708

- Mama!

10:17 - 10:19

S2E17: 621125

And Michael, his mother no longer a threat...

10:19 - 10:21

S2E17: 623291

- Thank you so much for your understanding, sir. - met again with Cal Cullen.

10:21 - 10:24

S2E17: 626666

As I mentioned on the phone, she did seek help.

10:24 - 10:28

S2E17: 632583

And it was extremely moving when she finally admitted that she has a problem.

10:30 - 10:34

S2E17: 638416

I'll take care of you, you son of a-

10:37 - 10:38

S2E17: 640708

Shady Pines is a wonderful facility up there on the hill.

10:39 - 10:42

S2E17: 644333

- You know, they used to film Sugarfoot up there. - No?

10:42 - 10:46

S2E17: 647541

- Were you a fan of Sugarfoot? - I loved it.

10:46 - 10:49

S2E17: 650541

Sugarfoot had been off the air...

10:49 - 10:51

S2E17: 652666

12 years before Michael was born.

10:51 - 10:53

S2E17: 655416

Sing the theme song of Sugarfoot along with me.

10:53 - 10:56

S2E17: 660500

- Yes

10:59 - 11:01

S2E17: 668041

Oh, what the hell. You're a good kid.

11:06 - 11:09

S2E17: 670333

Let's make the deal.

11:09 - 11:11

S2E17: 672291

- Oh, great. I've got papers- - Michael!

11:11 - 11:13

S2E17: 674916

Remember me? Perhaps this'll jog your memory.

11:13 - 11:16

S2E17: 678958

- Oh! They're crooked. - I've kidnapped your father, Michael...

11:16 - 11:19

S2E17: 681166

and I have a cooler full of evidence...

11:19 - 11:22

S2E17: 683291

that will bring down this corrupt company.

11:22 - 11:24

S2E17: 686875

Unless your mother meets me today at 4:00 at Señor Tadpole's.

11:24 - 11:29

S2E17: 690875

Spring break. Whoo!

11:29 - 11:32

S2E17: 698625

Dad? - Michael's father had just been kidnapped.

11:36 - 11:40

S2E17: 703250

Hello?

11:42 - 11:44

S2E17: 707458

And then he received a call that his brother had been found drunk.

11:44 - 11:48

S2E17: 709166

No, I'm fine. I'm telling you.

11:48 - 11:50

S2E17: 711791

For the first time, I realize that maybe I am better off without her!

11:50 - 11:53

S2E17: 715125

- Yeah, well, we've gotta bring her back. - Oh, thank God!

11:53 - 11:56

S2E17: 717958

So if we want to get that evidence back, and Dad...

11:56 - 11:59

S2E17: 720250

Kitty is insisting on a meeting with Mom.

11:59 - 12:01

S2E17: 723083

- What can Mom do for her? - I don't know. I've gotta get my hands on that evidence.

12:01 - 12:04

S2E17: 725791

Problem is I just checked her into rehab.

12:04 - 12:06

S2E17: 728000

They're not exactly gonna let me take her to a bar.

12:06 - 12:09

S2E17: 730333

So, Gob, I need you to help me sneak her past the guards.

12:09 - 12:11

S2E17: 733583

Well, gee, I didn't think the woman I'd be checking out at spring break would be Mom.

12:11 - 12:15

S2E17: 736916

- She's better looking than the whores you date. - Don't call my escorts whores.

12:15 - 12:18

S2E17: 739625

- Mom's still got it! - I don't date whores!

12:18 - 12:20

S2E17: 742750

Stop it! Stop it! This objectification of women has to stop!

12:21 - 12:24

S2E17: 745916

- It's just Mom and whores. - No, how would you like it?

12:24 - 12:27

S2E17: 748250

Actually, that's not a bad idea.

12:27 - 12:29

S2E17: 750916

I should turn the tables on men and see how they like being objectified.

12:29 - 12:32

S2E17: 754500

- Men with low self-esteem. Get their clothes off. - That is a great-

12:32 - 12:36

S2E17: 758166

That is a great social statement.

12:36 - 12:39

S2E17: 761958

I shall get the video camera. This is ripe for parody.

12:39 - 12:43

S2E17: 765208

This is ripe!

12:44 - 12:46

S2E17: 768416

Hejust wants to see boys'Linuses. Oh, God.

12:46 - 12:50

S2E17: 774083

Here we go.

12:53 - 12:55

S2E17: 783291

because I brought you here under false pretenses...

13:01 - 13:03

S2E17: 785125

- but I really was worried about you. - Oh, please.

13:04 - 13:06

S2E17: 787291

I've been drinking since before you were born.

13:06 - 13:08

S2E17: 789916

So if alcohol is the reason I'm here, I've got news for you, bub.

13:08 - 13:11

S2E17: 792291

It's the only reason you're here too.

13:11 - 13:13

S2E17: 795000

Hey, you're mean sober too.

13:13 - 13:15

S2E17: 796958

Uh, listen. I need your help.

13:15 - 13:18

S2E17: 799416

Kitty has shown up, and she got ahold of Dad.

13:18 - 13:21

S2E17: 803250

She found him in the attic?

13:21 - 13:23

S2E17: 806000

They had a rerun of Scandalmakers last night. Everybody figured it out.

13:24 - 13:27

S2E17: 809291

She would like to meet you at a bar.

13:28 - 13:30

S2E17: 812208

She says she's got some evidence that could bring the business down if you don't go.

13:30 - 13:34

S2E17: 815666

You're sending me into a bar?

13:34 - 13:36

S2E17: 817791

Are you sure you can trust me to make decisions for myself?

13:36 - 13:39

S2E17: 820916

I just need you to find out what she wants...

13:39 - 13:41

S2E17: 822500

while I check all the local motels for Dad.

13:41 - 13:43

S2E17: 825166

All right. But here's what I want.

13:43 - 13:45

S2E17: 827250

A spa weekend with you. A real one.

13:45 - 13:47

S2E17: 829208

I want to spend spring break with you.

13:48 - 13:50

S2E17: 834166

You have high self-esteem, right?

13:52 - 13:54

S2E17: 835916

Not after being in here. It's a nightmare.

13:54 - 13:56

S2E17: 839041

Michael, Mom. We've gotta go now. I created a diversion.

13:56 - 14:01

S2E17: 859791

And so Lucille was able to meet with Kitty at Señor Tadpole's.

14:16 - 14:20

S2E17: 861791

I want what's due to me- a Bluth son.

14:20 - 14:22

S2E17: 864166

And I know you have the material.

14:23 - 14:25

S2E17: 866791

Kitty was right. Ten years earlier...

14:25 - 14:28

S2E17: 870083

George Sr. Was taking an experimental hair growth drug.

14:28 - 14:31

S2E17: 873000

Fearing damage to his fertility...

14:31 - 14:34

S2E17: 875583

he froze a specimen ofhis reproductive material...

14:34 - 14:36

S2E17: 878625

in case he ever wanted another child.

14:37 - 14:40

S2E17: 881416

Soon, news came out that the drug...

14:40 - 14:42

S2E17: 883666

although somewhat successful...

14:42 - 14:44

S2E17: 886458

wreaked havoc on the central nervous system.

14:44 - 14:48

S2E17: 893166

So what do you need me for? He's not taking the monkey drug anymore.

14:51 - 14:55

S2E17: 896708

- And you're the one who's got him. Not me. - Oh, you know why.

14:55 - 14:58

S2E17: 899791

He won't touch me. He said he doesn't cheat on his wife anymore.

14:58 - 15:01

S2E17: 902333

- He said that? - Drinking contest!

15:01 - 15:03

S2E17: 904250

- He said that? - Drinking contest!

15:03 - 15:05

S2E17: 906958

Tell you what. I'll drink you for it.

15:05 - 15:08

S2E17: 910208

Oh, I heard you don't handle your booze so well anymore.

15:08 - 15:11

S2E17: 912875

So this should be easy for you.

15:11 - 15:13

S2E17: 918291

That one didn't count.

15:16 - 15:19

S2E17: 921250

And Michael met up with Gob to try and find their father.

15:19 - 15:23

S2E17: 924208

I got it. From the banana stand freezer.

15:23 - 15:25

S2E17: 926875

The exact same kind of cooler that's in the photo with Dad.

15:25 - 15:28

S2E17: 929708

- What do we need another cooler for? - Ah, poor Michael.

15:28 - 15:31

S2E17: 932125

You do not think like a magician.

15:31 - 15:33

S2E17: 934333

- Such a "How'd he do dat?" - Uh-huh.

15:33 - 15:35

S2E17: 936833

It's a classic bait and switch. This is a decoy cooler.

15:35 - 15:38

S2E17: 939875

We take it in, switch it with the one from the photo and get out of there.

15:38 - 15:41

S2E17: 943000

Kitty comes back. Everything's normal. It's like we were never there.

15:41 - 15:44

S2E17: 946500

- But Dad's gone. - Long gone. But it buys us all the time in the world.

15:44 - 15:48

S2E17: 950166

I got it back, Mikey. The self-confidence. I am a magician!

15:48 - 15:51

S2E17: 952833

I'm saying, when Kitty comes back, notices Dad's gone...

15:51 - 15:53

S2E17: 955458

first thing she's gonna do is check the cooler, see if the evidence is still there.

15:54 - 15:56

S2E17: 958000

Buys us, like, one second.

15:57 - 15:58

S2E17: 960000

- I am a worthless magician. - Not true.

15:59 - 16:00

S2E17: 961958

- I can't even do one simple trick. - Come on.

16:01 - 16:02

S2E17: 964000

- I'm covered in sweat. Look at me! - It's a great trick.

16:02 - 16:05

S2E17: 966958

- Would've been flawless if you had a decoy Dad too. - Damn it.

16:05 - 16:08

S2E17: 970291

And I used a guy that looked just like him in my last bait and switch.

16:08 - 16:12

S2E17: 976083

Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

16:12 - 16:16

S2E17: 978125

- Well, I'm no longer needed here. - No, no, no.

16:17 - 16:19

S2E17: 980291

I think the cooler's actually gonna help us.

16:19 - 16:21

S2E17: 982416

The extra second that it buys us could be the difference.

16:21 - 16:23

S2E17: 985250

Great. Just give me a couple of minutes to catch my breath.

16:23 - 16:26

S2E17: 994083

Lucille, minutes out of rehab...

16:32 - 16:35

S2E17: 997041

was engaging in a drinking contest...

16:35 - 16:38

S2E17: 999541

at the behest ofher son.

16:38 - 16:40

S2E17: 1001958

. Let me know when you're ready, dear. - She's mixing!

16:40 - 16:43

S2E17: 1004083

While right outside the bar-

16:43 - 16:44

S2E17: 1006250

I know what the shape of a banana reminds you of...

16:45 - 16:47

S2E17: 1008541

and I know that when I say "nuts," it makes you giggle.

16:47 - 16:49

S2E17: 1011250

But do you have any other response...

16:49 - 16:52

S2E17: 1014208

to "here's a banana with nuts"?

16:52 - 16:55

S2E17: 1019875

Why are we even going after this idiot demographic?

16:58 - 17:01

S2E17: 1023125

Don't you get it? They're not even eating these. They just like saying bananas and nuts.

17:01 - 17:04

S2E17: 1026208

And I won't- I won't tell you why. That's your father's job.

17:04 - 17:07

S2E17: 1029083

Come on! Let's see some bananas and nuts!

17:07 - 17:10

S2E17: 1031833

Oh, perhaps we should just pull their pants off.

17:10 - 17:13

S2E17: 1034750

Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing? This is where we shoot.

17:13 - 17:16

S2E17: 1037666

Yeah, well, you've got competition now, 'cause we're making our own video.

17:16 - 17:18

S2E17: 1040208

Will you just get over it! It's nudity.

17:19 - 17:21

S2E17: 1042750

Just because you're ashamed of your body doesn't mean everybody should be.

17:21 - 17:24

S2E17: 1046208

Oh, really? Well, let's see how you feel about what you're packing.

17:24 - 17:28

S2E17: 1050083

You're a- never-nude?

17:28 - 17:31

S2E17: 1053500

You're asking girls to take their tops off, and you can't even be naked?

17:31 - 17:35

S2E17: 1057666

- I've gotta get this. - Lindsay, I've already got it.

17:35 - 17:40

S2E17: 1063041

I'm back into cutoffs. Lindsay?

17:41 - 17:44

S2E17: 1065833

I didn't see you at the convention.

17:44 - 17:46

S2E17: 1068125

- No, I was in Germany. I teleconferenced in. - Ohhh.

17:46 - 17:49

S2E17: 1070666

- Did you go to the seminar on chafing? - Dr. Schoenweiss. Yes.

17:49 - 17:51

S2E17: 1073625

This is never gonna work. There's too many people, too many rooms.

17:52 - 17:54

S2E17: 1076250

Michael, we can't give up. This is important.

17:55 - 17:57

S2E17: 1079416

Believe me. I'd rather be down at the beach having drinks, howling at chicks.

17:57 - 18:01

S2E17: 1083416

Dad?

18:02 - 18:04

S2E17: 1088166

Oh, my boys. Yes, you- you came for me.

18:06 - 18:09

S2E17: 1092000

Yeah, hi, Dad. Uh, Gob's gonna get you out of those handcuffs. Can you do it?

18:09 - 18:13

S2E17: 1094916

- One handcuff key coming up. - Great.

18:13 - 18:16

S2E17: 1100625

What the hell are you doing?

18:19 - 18:21

S2E17: 1102791

Swallowed a key just in case I ended up doing a show.

18:21 - 18:23

S2E17: 1105416

Come on. This is disgusting.

18:24 - 18:26

S2E17: 1108791

- I'm doing this for you. - This continued for some time...

18:26 - 18:29

S2E17: 1110333

while Michael switched out the coolers.

18:29 - 18:31

S2E17: 1113458

- Why are you switching out the coolers? - It buys us time, Dad.

18:32 - 18:34

S2E17: 1115708

- What? Like a second? - Don't worry about it, okay?

18:34 - 18:36

S2E17: 1118625

When I get this evidence out of here, I'm turning it right into the court.

18:36 - 18:39

S2E17: 1121375

Are you kidding? I don't care if the evidence gets out there. It gets me off the hook.

18:39 - 18:42

S2E17: 1124416

- What are you saying? This exonerates you? - I told you before.

18:43 - 18:45

S2E17: 1128208

I was a patsy. I was set up. I am tired of looking guilty.

18:45 - 18:50

S2E17: 1132000

Well, that's- that's great.

18:50 - 18:53

S2E17: 1137083

Now who's a horrible magician?

18:56 - 18:57

S2E17: 1139958

That is a crown, you horse's ass.

18:58 - 19:01

S2E17: 1143541

- How does that make you feel? - Awesome.

19:02 - 19:04

S2E17: 1147125

And George Michael caught up with Maeby, determined to save her self-esteem.

19:04 - 19:09

S2E17: 1150875

Look, I don't want to ruin your fun, but I hate to see guys treat you like this.

19:09 - 19:12

S2E17: 1153791

You're better than that. To me, anyway. You're-

19:12 - 19:15

S2E17: 1156291

- Awesome? - No, I was gonna say you're-

19:15 - 19:17

S2E17: 1159250

you're like this flower, and I know it's springtime...

19:17 - 19:20

S2E17: 1162000

but I just- I'd hate to see you get plucked...

19:20 - 19:23

S2E17: 1164625

by someone who doesn't even care that you're blossoming.

19:23 - 19:26

S2E17: 1167625

That's what I've been waiting to hear.

19:26 - 19:29

S2E17: 1171958

Maeby was referring to the dialogue...

19:30 - 19:32

S2E17: 1175083

but George Michael had just rediscovered his feelings for his cousin.

19:33 - 19:37

S2E17: 1178250

Hi, Ann. It's-It's George Michael Bluth.

19:37 - 19:39

S2E17: 1181166

Um, when you get back into town, we should talk.

19:39 - 19:42

S2E17: 1187750

Can I get you anything else, ma'am?

19:46 - 19:48

S2E17: 1189916

No, thanks. I have to get back to rehab.

19:48 - 19:51

S2E17: 1192583

She's in rehab!

19:51 - 19:54

S2E17: 1196083

And so George Sr. Was free...

19:54 - 19:58

S2E17: 1199208

and Michael and Gob absconded with the evidence.

19:58 - 20:00

S2E17: 1201833

One heck of a trick you ended up pullin' in there, Gob.

20:00 - 20:03

S2E17: 1204375

Truthfully, that wasn't part of the act.

20:03 - 20:05

S2E17: 1206958

I was actually trying to get the key to come out of my mouth.
