Episode 3x8 - "Making a Stand"

Director: Peter Lauer

S3E08: 2750

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

00:01 - 00:04

S3E08: 5375

and the one son who had no choice...

00:04 - 00:06

S3E08: 7625

but to keep them all together.

00:06 - 00:08

S3E08: 20041

Michael was trying to include his brother in the business...

00:18 - 00:21

S3E08: 23000

at his father's request...

00:21 - 00:24

S3E08: 25875

So, the last couple of months have seen us hemorrhaging money...

00:24 - 00:27

S3E08: 29500

But he was finding himself overwhelmed by the change.

00:27 - 00:31

S3E08: 32833

Is it my turn to speak yet? I've got a good one.

00:31 - 00:34

S3E08: 35625

- We're gonna wait till after lunch for the tricks. - It's not a trick, Michael.

00:34 - 00:36

S3E08: 38375

It's a business opportunity.

00:36 - 00:39

S3E08: 40875

You can turn the music off. I already shot my wad.

00:39 - 00:42

S3E08: 43041

Off.

00:42 - 00:44

S3E08: 45500

No, that's tape. It's a...

00:44 - 00:46

S3E08: 48750

I have got a quick way for us...

00:46 - 00:50

S3E08: 52166

to literally be showered with money.

00:50 - 00:53

S3E08: 55166

That's where the penny thing would have...

00:53 - 00:56

S3E08: 60541

Bonus. Anyway, it involves us making some money...

00:59 - 01:01

S3E08: 63125

with our Mexican friends from Colombia.

01:01 - 01:04

S3E08: 64833

I think they're called Colombians.

01:04 - 01:06

S3E08: 68791

Oh, I forgot. We're being "politically correct."

01:06 - 01:11

S3E08: 72583

Anyway, there's a company there that wants to develop some time-shares with us.

01:11 - 01:14

S3E08: 75541

I told them that we'll sell them our blueprints...

01:14 - 01:16

S3E08: 78250

- for 100 grand. - Gob, we're prohibited...

01:16 - 01:19

S3E08: 80958

from doing any business outside the country while we're under investigation.

01:19 - 01:22

S3E08: 83500

Translation: "Wish I'd thought of that."

01:22 - 01:24

S3E08: 86125

- Nice translating, Dad. - Oh.

01:24 - 01:27

S3E08: 88250

I also had this slogan made up.

01:27 - 01:29

S3E08: 91000

"A Colombian cartel that won't kidnap and kill you."

01:29 - 01:32

S3E08: 93958

Underline "won't," 'cause that makes the competition look like...

01:32 - 01:35

S3E08: 96291

- maybe they... - I'm serious. We're not doing it.

01:35 - 01:37

S3E08: 99000

It's illegal, and, uh, it's also kind of a stupid way to make a quick buck.

01:37 - 01:40

S3E08: 102333

- It's not stupid. You're stupid. - Nice pout, Dad.

01:40 - 01:43

S3E08: 105375

I wasn't calling you stupid. I was calling the idea stupid.

01:43 - 01:46

S3E08: 108541

If you'd spend a little more time learning about the business...

01:46 - 01:48

S3E08: 112333

If I didn't have a live dove in my pants right now...

01:50 - 01:53

S3E08: 115833

I would leap across this table and... You know what? Forget it.

01:53 - 01:57

S3E08: 118416

- Let's go ahead and take five. - Michael was frustrated...

01:57 - 01:59

S3E08: 121500

and returned to his office to find Lindsay.

01:59 - 02:03

S3E08: 124500

Gob is driving me crazy. I finally got rid of him for a little while...

02:03 - 02:05

S3E08: 126625

and Dad put him right back in the business.

02:05 - 02:07

S3E08: 128875

You two have always fought.

02:07 - 02:09

S3E08: 131416

- I think I even have video of that. - You and half of Orange County.

02:09 - 02:13

S3E08: 135125

As children, George Sr. would often provoke the boys to fight one another.

02:13 - 02:16

S3E08: 137416

He's calling you a liar.

02:17 - 02:18

S3E08: 140041

I don't want your cards, Michael.

02:19 - 02:21

S3E08: 142541

He believed it created a competitive spirit...

02:21 - 02:23

S3E08: 145166

which equipped them for the challenges of life.

02:24 - 02:26

S3E08: 147333

Let's keep it in frame.

02:26 - 02:28

S3E08: 149833

He also believed footage of the tussles would be a big hit...

02:28 - 02:31

S3E08: 153916

in the burgeoning home video market.

02:31 - 02:33

S3E08: 155875

He soon franchised the concept with such titles...

02:34 - 02:37

S3E08: 159708

as Boyfights 2...

02:37 - 02:41

S3E08: 163166

A Boyfights Cookout...

02:41 - 02:43

S3E08: 165291

and Backseat Boyfights: The Trip to Uncle Jack’s 70th.

02:43 - 02:48

S3E08: 169625

- How do you think I feel? - You weren't even in the tapes.

02:48 - 02:50

S3E08: 172666

I was talking about my marriage. Are we still talking about the tapes?

02:50 - 02:54

S3E08: 175416

Apparently not. What's going on with your marriage?

02:54 - 02:56

S3E08: 178666

Well, as you know, Bob Loblaw and I have had a secret little thing going.

02:56 - 03:00

S3E08: 182791

- Very secret. He doesn't know. - He has not known of it. That's correct.

03:00 - 03:04

S3E08: 186625

But last night he finally responded to one of my little hints.

03:04 - 03:08

S3E08: 189708

- Why won't you!@%$ me? - Look...

03:08 - 03:10

S3E08: 192666

You're an attractive woman, and you've been dressing like a common whore.

03:10 - 03:14

S3E08: 196500

- Well, I've been trying. - But you asked me to represent you in your divorce.

03:14 - 03:18

S3E08: 200333

- I can't see a client. - Then recommend somebody else.

03:18 - 03:21

S3E08: 202750

Well, our copy boy is very striking...

03:22 - 03:23

S3E08: 204500

but he often has toner on his fingers.

03:24 - 03:25

S3E08: 207666

- I meant another lawyer. - Oh.

03:26 - 03:28

S3E08: 210583

So now I have to tell Tobias we're getting divorced, break the news to Maeby...

03:29 - 03:32

S3E08: 213166

plus fit an eyebrow pluck in there, all before the weekend.

03:32 - 03:34

S3E08: 216291

Perhaps you can talk to Maeby while you're getting your eyebrows plucked.

03:35 - 03:37

S3E08: 219250

It'll look like your eyes are watering 'cause you're sad.

03:37 - 03:40

S3E08: 222250

Later that day Michael went to his parents’ apartment...

03:40 - 03:43

S3E08: 225291

to talk about the problem he was having with Gob.

03:43 - 03:46

S3E08: 228291

- What's going on here? - They're painting the whole building...

03:47 - 03:49

S3E08: 230583

so I'm having the inside done too.

03:49 - 03:51

S3E08: 234250

And that goes into storage, right? Not into your apartment.

03:51 - 03:56

S3E08: 238250

What's Spanish for "I know you speak English"?

03:57 - 03:59

S3E08: 240583

Mom, if you're gonna speak to these guys like this...

03:59 - 04:01

S3E08: 242583

you might want to sleep with one eye open.

04:01 - 04:03

S3E08: 245041

Actually, I'll be sleeping at your place.

04:03 - 04:06

S3E08: 248458

- Paint fumes are deadly. - You know Dad's under house arrest here.

04:06 - 04:10

S3E08: 251333

It'll be nice to get a break from him too.

04:10 - 04:12

S3E08: 254166

Besides, I certainly can't recuperate here.

04:12 - 04:15

S3E08: 257125

- Recuperate? - I didn't want to worry anyone.

04:15 - 04:18

S3E08: 260416

It's a routine procedure... Very common for women my age.

04:18 - 04:22

S3E08: 264166

I see. The apartment's not the only thing getting a face lift, huh?

04:22 - 04:25

S3E08: 267041

Hope you kept your punch cards. You're about due for a free one.

04:25 - 04:28

S3E08: 269416

- We have to pay for the paint. - No, no, no.

04:28 - 04:30

S3E08: 271375

You're not getting a centavo until you finish all the work.

04:30 - 04:32

S3E08: 273708

You guys are both gonna be sleeping with your eyes open.

04:32 - 04:34

S3E08: 275875

Mom, however, will not have a choice.

04:34 - 04:36

S3E08: 277916

Dad, need you to help me get rid of Gob.

04:36 - 04:38

S3E08: 280666

- That ship sailed 35 years ago. - Doesn't know anything about the business.

04:38 - 04:42

S3E08: 283666

Today he suggested that we do an illegal Colombian deal.

04:42 - 04:44

S3E08: 286583

- You said that was legal. - That was your idea?

04:45 - 04:48

S3E08: 290250

- I may have mentioned it. - You told Gob to do it, didn't you?

04:48 - 04:52

S3E08: 293250

Did you just want to get us at each other's throats again...

04:52 - 04:54

S3E08: 295666

- like you used to do with the Boyfights videos? - Boyfights?

04:54 - 04:57

S3E08: 298791

- Luchas de Muchachos. - Oh, sí, Luchas de Muchachos.

04:57 - 05:00

S3E08: 301500

- We had this video. - Sí.

05:00 - 05:02

S3E08: 303666

The tapes were a big hit in Latin America.

05:02 - 05:04

S3E08: 305791

Don't look at me. I had nothing to do with them...

05:04 - 05:06

S3E08: 308000

Except for some of the Baby Buster shorts.

05:07 - 05:08

S3E08: 309958

Maybe I was trying to teach you something.

05:09 - 05:11

S3E08: 312083

Maybe I was trying to teach you how to compete.

05:11 - 05:13

S3E08: 314583

I didn't do it with Buster, and look how he turned out.

05:13 - 05:16

S3E08: 317791

- Is Buster. - Baby Buster.

05:16 - 05:19

S3E08: 321125

"Yo quiero leche. Yo quiero leche de madre."

05:19 - 05:22

S3E08: 323916

Even though I am so old.

05:22 - 05:25

S3E08: 325791

Those tapes made quite an impression on these painters.

05:25 - 05:27

S3E08: 328791

I think I turned out pretty darn well, myself.

05:27 - 05:30

S3E08: 331208

Oh, you just turned out great.

05:30 - 05:32

S3E08: 333625

I used my contacts to get you a job, and you quit.

05:32 - 05:35

S3E08: 336625

The job was at an Iraqi-owned toy store...

05:35 - 05:38

S3E08: 339750

that was hoping to deter shoplifting.

05:38 - 05:41

S3E08: 343208

Okay, I'll just take off this cheap fake hand...

05:41 - 05:45

S3E08: 346583

and we gonna put on this sign.

05:45 - 05:47

S3E08: 349083

Beautiful. You like?

05:48 - 05:50

S3E08: 351666

They only wanted me because I had one hand... and I won't do it!

05:50 - 05:53

S3E08: 354458

- That's not the way Mother is raising me. - Like I won't compete...

05:53 - 05:55

S3E08: 357625

with my older brother anymore, despite the way Father raised me.

05:55 - 05:59

S3E08: 361666

- We'll show you. - Just like I showed Mr. Al-Jibaaly Muhammed a-Abat.

05:59 - 06:03

S3E08: 365416

I stole this sign.

06:03 - 06:07

S3E08: 368250

Of course, I left my hand there also.

06:07 - 06:09

S3E08: 371541

But FAO al-Jibaaly Muhammed a-Abat...

06:09 - 06:13

S3E08: 375791

wasn't the only one having trouble scaring kids.

06:13 - 06:17

S3E08: 378583

So was Hollywood's third-youngest movie studio executive, Maeby Fünke.

06:17 - 06:21

S3E08: 392791

That's the bloodsucker? It looks like Alf. You got a week to fix it.

06:30 - 06:34

S3E08: 395083

This must be the creature that ate our cat.

06:34 - 06:36

S3E08: 400500

- And Michael met up with Gob. - Hey, Gob.

06:39 - 06:41

S3E08: 403041

Why didn't you tell me that Colombian thing was Dad's idea?

06:41 - 06:44

S3E08: 405916

Well, Dad said not to because you don't think I'm smart...

06:44 - 06:47

S3E08: 408500

- and that I should take credit for it. - It was just Dad...

06:47 - 06:49

S3E08: 411333

trying to turn us against each other again, and of course I think you're smart.

06:49 - 06:52

S3E08: 414000

Okay? Hey, what's going on down there? What are you doing?

06:52 - 06:55

S3E08: 415958

You don't want a hungry dove down your pants.

06:55 - 06:57

S3E08: 418291

That's how Tony Wonder lost a nut.

06:57 - 06:59

S3E08: 421625

Look, I know that I don't know about this housing stuff...

06:59 - 07:03

S3E08: 424666

but I've got this Christian girlfriend now...

07:03 - 07:05

S3E08: 427166

and she's trying to get me to be a better man...

07:05 - 07:08

S3E08: 429458

and reconnect with my son...

07:08 - 07:10

S3E08: 431708

and I'm trying to get her to renounce God and!@%$ me...

07:10 - 07:12

S3E08: 434875

and I just want to prove to her that I'm worth it.

07:12 - 07:16

S3E08: 438208

As always, Gob, a mixed bag there...

07:16 - 07:18

S3E08: 441041

but the middle part sounded pretty admirable for a second, so here's what I want to do.

07:19 - 07:22

S3E08: 443125

I want to get you your own banana stand franchise...

07:22 - 07:24

S3E08: 446916

and you can have Steve work at it.

07:24 - 07:27

S3E08: 449375

- You'd do that for me? - Yes. Yeah. You can design your own shack.

07:27 - 07:31

S3E08: 451833

- And choose my own location? - Whatever you want.

07:31 - 07:32

S3E08: 456000

But the most important thing is that we never let Dad...

07:34 - 07:37

S3E08: 458875

- turn us against each other again. - Thanks, Michael.

07:37 - 07:41

S3E08: 467916

If you feel something moving down there, it's just the bird.

07:46 - 07:48

S3E08: 470375

I know it.

07:48 - 07:51

S3E08: 474958

And a few days later...

07:53 - 07:55

S3E08: 476958

Michael got a call from his son.

07:55 - 07:58

S3E08: 479500

- Hey, Dad, did you know Gob started a banana stand? - Yeah, that was my idea.

07:58 - 08:00

S3E08: 482416

I'm trying to get us to be less competitive.

08:01 - 08:03

S3E08: 485041

That's gonna be difficult.

08:03 - 08:06

S3E08: 487750

Plus they have a very aggressive slogan.

08:06 - 08:09

S3E08: 497000

Gob had opened a new frozen banana stand, like...

08:15 - 08:18

S3E08: 500333

twenty feet from the old frozen banana stand.

08:18 - 08:21

S3E08: 502500

What's going on? You just thought you'd put the stand right here?

08:21 - 08:24

S3E08: 505250

Did the research. Do you know that more frozen bananas are sold...

08:24 - 08:26

S3E08: 507625

right here on this boardwalk than anywhere in the OC?

08:26 - 08:28

S3E08: 510000

- Don't call it that. - Also gonna need a check, 'cause I kind of went...

08:28 - 08:31

S3E08: 512666

out of pocket on the new sign... and I need some bananas and some chocolate...

08:31 - 08:34

S3E08: 515250

- from the other branch. - Just take the sign down... Take the whole booth down.

08:34 - 08:36

S3E08: 517541

You're cannibalizing our business.

08:36 - 08:38

S3E08: 520041

You're just scared of a little "competish."

08:38 - 08:41

S3E08: 522500

You guys don't even have bananas, so I'm not too worried.

08:41 - 08:43

S3E08: 525333

In fact, you know what? Me and my son are gonna kick your little shack's ass.

08:43 - 08:46

S3E08: 528166

Dad, it's okay. We can just work together with them, you know?

08:47 - 08:49

S3E08: 530958

That makes sense. I mean, we don't really even know the recipe.

08:49 - 08:52

S3E08: 534166

- You just freeze the banana, and then you stick it... - Don't tell 'em.

08:52 - 08:55

S3E08: 537000

- Stick it in the what? - No, it's okay. We'll figure it out.

08:56 - 08:57

S3E08: 539125

And when we do, we'll have the last laugh.

08:58 - 09:00

S3E08: 542291

We'll be the laughingstock of the boardwalk.

09:00 - 09:04

S3E08: 546125

Meanwhile, Lindsay was preparing for her own competition.

09:04 - 09:07

S3E08: 549166

This is Treat. He'll be representing you.

09:08 - 09:10

S3E08: 551916

He started off as my paralegal, but he's a lawyer now.

09:10 - 09:13

S3E08: 554958

- Well, as of next Monday. - Well, we'll fudge that.

09:13 - 09:16

S3E08: 557125

Lindsay, just do me one favor.

09:16 - 09:17

S3E08: 559583

Don't mention me by name when you talk about your future plans for dating.

09:18 - 09:20

S3E08: 561916

It reflects poorly on me.

09:20 - 09:23

S3E08: 564541

Right, right. The conflict of interest.

09:23 - 09:25

S3E08: 566875

Yeah, that too.

09:25 - 09:27

S3E08: 569708

- Hello, Lindsay. - Tobias. Did you get a lawyer?

09:28 - 09:31

S3E08: 573375

Only the best-looking and best-educated lawyer in the whole OC.

09:31 - 09:35

S3E08: 576333

- Don't call it that. - Okay.

09:35 - 09:37

S3E08: 578750

- Bob Loblaw. How are you? - Bob's representing you?

09:37 - 09:40

S3E08: 580750

He was. One day earlier, Tobias had spoken to him...

09:40 - 09:44

S3E08: 585458

- on the phone. - Whether or not those promises were made explicit.

09:44 - 09:46

S3E08: 589250

You... want me to be explicit?

09:47 - 09:51

S3E08: 592541

Anyway, as it turns out...

09:51 - 09:53

S3E08: 595125

Bob was offering to be my lawyer.

09:53 - 09:56

S3E08: 598416

And that night...

09:56 - 09:58

S3E08: 600791

- Buster arrived with a post-op Lucille. - There she is.

09:58 - 10:02

S3E08: 604333

She wants to know where you want to put her.

10:02 - 10:06

S3E08: 607708

She can take my room.

10:06 - 10:08

S3E08: 609458

She wants to know if I can sleep there too.

10:08 - 10:10

S3E08: 612125

She said that's very important to her.

10:10 - 10:13

S3E08: 615041

All right. I'll meet you up there, Mother.

10:13 - 10:16

S3E08: 621625

You better not lock it! I'll kick it in!

10:20 - 10:23

S3E08: 625125

Oh, by the way. Doctor said no kissing her on the face for one week.

10:23 - 10:26

S3E08: 628458

I was like, "Make it two weeks. See if I care."

10:26 - 10:29

S3E08: 631250

Got a new hand?

10:30 - 10:32

S3E08: 633500

Oh, yeah. I'm trying it out.

10:32 - 10:34

S3E08: 635708

Guess who I ran into at the prosthetic shop while I was waiting for Mother.

10:34 - 10:36

S3E08: 638083

Sorry, no refunds...

10:37 - 10:38

S3E08: 641833

- And that's why you don't take your foot out of its wrapper. - J. Walter Weatherman.

10:39 - 10:44

S3E08: 645875

You're the man who used to scare us as children, and one time as an adult.

10:44 - 10:47

S3E08: 648750

George Sr. had always used him...

10:47 - 10:50

S3E08: 651291

to teach his children lasting lessons.

10:50 - 10:52

S3E08: 654708

They usually involved his prosthetic arm being ripped off.

10:52 - 10:56

S3E08: 659791

And that's why you always leave a note.

10:57 - 11:02

S3E08: 664500

- You're one of George Bluth's kids. - Uh-huh.

11:02 - 11:05

S3E08: 667750

- I guess you'll be scaring children yourself now. - As a matter of fact, I won't.

11:05 - 11:09

S3E08: 673916

to be more than just a one-armed man...

11:12 - 11:14

S3E08: 676458

Even if it means me never taking a job again.

11:14 - 11:17

S3E08: 680791

Almost makes it worth it.

11:19 - 11:21

S3E08: 682375

- Hello. - Listen. I heard...

11:21 - 11:23

S3E08: 684666

that you gave Gob a banana stand.

11:23 - 11:25

S3E08: 687708

They did great. He and Steve took in over $700.

11:25 - 11:28

S3E08: 689541

- They did? - Yeah.

11:28 - 11:30

S3E08: 692083

So I guess the Bluth Company's got a new heir.

11:30 - 11:32

S3E08: 695166

That's when Michael realized it was time to get serious.

11:33 - 11:36

S3E08: 698583

George Michael, do you know where the banana suit is?

11:37 - 11:40

S3E08: 705791

That night, Maeby, displaced by Buster, heard a noise.

11:42 - 11:46

S3E08: 710750

Hello? George Michael?

11:49 - 11:51

S3E08: 713750

I'm thirsty.

11:52 - 11:55

S3E08: 717375

And Maeby knew she had found her bloodsucking creature.

11:56 - 11:58

S3E08: 722333

The next day, Michael took off work to man the banana stand...

12:00 - 12:04

S3E08: 726291

- while his son manned a banana. - How you doin' there, champ?

12:04 - 12:07

S3E08: 729791

- Is my name champ? It's so hot. - Why don't you take five?

12:08 - 12:11

S3E08: 732791

That's not including the five minutes it takes to get out of this thing?

12:11 - 12:13

S3E08: 734916

- You're not getting out of it. - Attention, everyone.

12:13 - 12:15

S3E08: 738375

Why go to a banana stand when we can make your banana stand?

12:15 - 12:20

S3E08: 742000

I give you Barbara and Dee.

12:20 - 12:23

S3E08: 747833

Don't worry. These young beauties have been nowhere near the bananas.

12:26 - 12:29

S3E08: 750416

Dad, are they strippers?

12:29 - 12:31

S3E08: 753083

If I know your uncle, they're at least strippers. I guess we gotta up the ante.

12:31 - 12:34

S3E08: 756333

No, Dad. Then they're just gonna up it and it'll go back and forth all day.

12:34 - 12:38

S3E08: 760041

- If that's what it takes, that's what we're gonna do. - And they did...

12:38 - 12:41

S3E08: 762958

But it was less entertaining than you might imagine...

12:41 - 12:45

S3E08: 767583

no matter what music was put under it.

12:46 - 12:49

S3E08: 786583

It was kind of funny to "Yellow Submarine"...

13:05 - 13:08

S3E08: 789291

but who could afford it?

13:08 - 13:10

S3E08: 794666

So here's what happened at the end.

13:13 - 13:16

S3E08: 796875

- Hey, stop fighting! - Stop it!

13:16 - 13:17

S3E08: 798166

- Hey, stop fighting! - Stop it!

13:17 - 13:18

S3E08: 800083

That's it. They're right, okay? This is insane. We're just "boyfighting" again.

13:18 - 13:21

S3E08: 803000

And for what? A hefty bag full of pesos.

13:21 - 13:24

S3E08: 806166

- You've been taking pesos? - Dad said I should.

13:24 - 13:27

S3E08: 809125

- Dad's involved with this? - Well, he chose the location...

13:27 - 13:30

S3E08: 812083

And the strippers and the sign. Every part of it, really.

13:30 - 13:33

S3E08: 814708

Wait a minute. Don't you see what's happening here?

13:33 - 13:35

S3E08: 816791

Dad's clearly going ahead with the Colombian deal...

13:35 - 13:37

S3E08: 818791

and he's laundering it through your banana shack.

13:37 - 13:39

S3E08: 820833

He pitted us against each other so I'd be too busy to notice.

13:39 - 13:41

S3E08: 823125

Well, you know what? I think it's time for us to teach Dad a lesson.

13:41 - 13:44

S3E08: 825958

Get the person who terrorized us the most in our childhood.

13:44 - 13:47

S3E08: 829333

She's still healing. Let's get J. Walter Weatherman.

13:47 - 13:51

S3E08: 838500

Michael and Gob had decided...

13:57 - 13:59

S3E08: 840250

to teach their father a lesson.

13:59 - 14:01

S3E08: 842916

- We need the number of the one-armed man. - I'm not giving you that.

14:01 - 14:04

S3E08: 845583

You want to use his disability to scare someone.

14:04 - 14:06

S3E08: 848583

That's everything I'm against. Read the button, mister!

14:06 - 14:10

S3E08: 853666

"The only scary thing about...

14:12 - 14:15

S3E08: 856416

a one-armed man trying to scare someone is the fact that"...

14:15 - 14:17

S3E08: 858958

That he feels that his one arm is good for nothing but trying to scare somebody.

14:17 - 14:20

S3E08: 861375

- It's upside down. - Let's see you try to put a button on...

14:20 - 14:22

S3E08: 863333

with this.

14:22 - 14:24

S3E08: 865416

Stop screaming. It's not scary.

14:24 - 14:26

S3E08: 866791

I'm gonna get the number myself, 'cause we're not gonna...

14:26 - 14:28

S3E08: 868666

go through our lives being controlled by this guy.

14:28 - 14:30

S3E08: 871416

What is more pathetic than grown men being scared of their father?

14:30 - 14:32

S3E08: 873791

- I'm thirsty. - Oh, my God!

14:32 - 14:35

S3E08: 877875

This continued for a while.

14:36 - 14:39

S3E08: 880666

And later, Michael and Gob went to put their plan in action.

14:39 - 14:41

S3E08: 883083

I gave the Colombians back their money, and I told them...

14:42 - 14:44

S3E08: 885208

that you had no right to make the deal.

14:44 - 14:46

S3E08: 887333

I have to warn you, though, they didn't sound too happy.

14:46 - 14:48

S3E08: 889625

Let's just hope they don't try to get even by "cir-sum-venting" the law.

14:48 - 14:50

S3E08: 893000

- What is that supposed to mean? - Kidnap or... Michael said it.

14:50 - 14:54

S3E08: 895625

What, are you kidding? I have an ankle monitor.

14:54 - 14:56

S3E08: 897875

I can't even go into the hallway without the cops coming up.

14:56 - 14:58

S3E08: 900041

- Stop it! - Clearly you know what you're doing.

14:59 - 15:00

S3E08: 902666

There's an off chance they might just want to take you, leave the ankle.

15:01 - 15:04

S3E08: 905583

But anyhow... Stall him.

15:04 - 15:06

S3E08: 908375

And Michael went to solicit help for the lesson.

15:06 - 15:09

S3E08: 910958

How would you and some of your friends like to help us...

15:09 - 15:12

S3E08: 913125

teach Mr. Bluth a lesson?

15:12 - 15:14

S3E08: 915166

Maybe pose as Colombians.

15:14 - 15:16

S3E08: 917458

But we are Guatemalan. Won't he know the difference?

15:16 - 15:18

S3E08: 920083

I think anything south of San Diego will be just fine.

15:18 - 15:21

S3E08: 923125

- Orlando was in the Groundlings. - Just classes.

15:21 - 15:24

S3E08: 926083

Is it going to be unscripted, like Curb?

15:24 - 15:27

S3E08: 929333

George Sr., meanwhile, had grown suspicious of his sons.

15:27 - 15:31

S3E08: 932625

What was that with Michael just now?

15:31 - 15:33

S3E08: 935958

He wants to teach you a lesson.

15:33 - 15:36

S3E08: 938375

- What kind of lesson? - J. Walter Weatherman lesson.

15:36 - 15:38

S3E08: 940500

He's gonna fake your kidnapping and helicopter ride to Colombia.

15:39 - 15:41

S3E08: 943208

He's gonna teach me a lesson using my own scare toy?

15:41 - 15:44

S3E08: 946000

Weatherman wouldn't do it. I think Buster turned him.

15:44 - 15:47

S3E08: 948291

Yeah, well, he'll say yes for me.

15:47 - 15:49

S3E08: 950458

We'll go along with his lesson, but we're gonna teach him one of our own...

15:49 - 15:52

S3E08: 954000

But it's gotta be a secret, okay? Between a dad and his...

15:52 - 15:55

S3E08: 957291

His favorite son.

15:55 - 15:58

S3E08: 963958

- Don't worry, Pop. Gob Bluth doesn't cave. - Yeah, you just did for me.

16:01 - 16:06

S3E08: 967500

- Well, you asked me to so I thought... - Okay, go, go, go. It's fine.

16:06 - 16:08

S3E08: 970416

And Lindsay and Tobias were back with the arbitrator.

16:08 - 16:12

S3E08: 973125

As you know, it is very difficult...

16:12 - 16:14

S3E08: 975666

to establish fault in a divorce, but one indicator is fidelity.

16:14 - 16:17

S3E08: 978916

My client has not pursued sex outside of this marriage.

16:17 - 16:21

S3E08: 982333

- Nor in it. - I got this one.

16:21 - 16:23

S3E08: 984625

- Can the same be said for you? - Oh, absolutely.

16:23 - 16:25

S3E08: 987083

- I've done everything to make this marriage work. - That's interesting.

16:25 - 16:28

S3E08: 989791

Can you tell me what your plans are for this evening?

16:28 - 16:30

S3E08: 992125

Uh, I have plans with a friend.

16:31 - 16:33

S3E08: 995500

- A man? What's his name, please? - Don't answer that.

16:33 - 16:36

S3E08: 998291

I withdraw the question. Why don't we stop for the day?

16:36 - 16:39

S3E08: 1001000

So Mrs. Fünke...

16:39 - 16:42

S3E08: 1003125

can get to her date with her mysterious...

16:42 - 16:44

S3E08: 1005416

Mr. Blah-blah-blah.

16:44 - 16:46

S3E08: 1008250

At 8:30, unless you want to sit at the bar.

16:46 - 16:49

S3E08: 1010875

It was the first time someone took Tobias's side...

16:49 - 16:51

S3E08: 1013833

- and he wanted to thank him. - As much as I hate losing Lindsay and everything...

16:52 - 16:55

S3E08: 1017041

I feel like I'm making a friend in you...

16:55 - 16:58

S3E08: 1020000

so I was wondering if maybe tonight you just want to...

16:58 - 17:00

S3E08: 1021958

take in a movie... or a schvitz...

17:00 - 17:02

S3E08: 1024041

or just stay in and nest.

17:02 - 17:05

S3E08: 1029666

Of course... The Bob Loblaw Law Blog.

17:08 - 17:10

S3E08: 1032875

Wow. You, sir, are a mouthful.

17:10 - 17:13

S3E08: 1036083

While Tobias was trying to get his mouth around Bob Loblaw...

17:13 - 17:18

S3E08: 1040125

Maeby was showing Mort Meyers a monster of her own.

17:18 - 17:21

S3E08: 1043000

Oh, that's terrifying.

17:22 - 17:23

S3E08: 1045250

Who did that for you, Industrial Light & Magic?

17:24 - 17:26

S3E08: 1048125

- Topelson Plastic and Silicone. - Did he do Land of the Dead?

17:26 - 17:29

S3E08: 1050416

Yeah. He's been in Beverly Hills for years.

17:29 - 17:31

S3E08: 1053125

- Get our makeup people on it. - And George Sr. waited...

17:31 - 17:34

S3E08: 1056041

for the fake kidnapping he knew Michael had orchestrated.

17:34 - 17:37

S3E08: 1061333

- Don't move! - Hey, well, let's do it.

17:39 - 17:43

S3E08: 1064125

Get into the box, old man.

17:43 - 17:45

S3E08: 1066166

Oh, blankets. That's... Who thought of that?

17:45 - 17:47

S3E08: 1068541

- That is very nice. - Come on, get in the trunk!

17:47 - 17:49

S3E08: 1070875

What about... What about my ankle monitor?

17:49 - 17:52

S3E08: 1073333

We have an ankle monitor deactivator.

17:52 - 17:54

S3E08: 1075583

Oh, good. See, I've been meaning to get one of those.

17:54 - 17:56

S3E08: 1077625

I'm not gonna resist you guys because, you know, I don't want you to beat me.

17:56 - 18:00

S3E08: 1081541

But the mistreated painters...

18:00 - 18:02

S3E08: 1083625

were actually looking forward to that part.

18:02 - 18:04

S3E08: 1086000

Oh! Forgot my iPod.

18:04 - 18:07

S3E08: 1095791

- Start the helicopter! - And so Michael, believing himself...

18:13 - 18:17

S3E08: 1100041

to be aided by Gob, set to work.

18:17 - 18:22

S3E08: 1103708

But this too produced less-than-compelling footage.

18:22 - 18:25

S3E08: 1115291

And this is how that ended.

18:34 - 18:36

S3E08: 1117375

Put on the sound effects. Put on the sound effects.

18:36 - 18:38

S3E08: 1119416

CD... CD one. CD one.

18:38 - 18:40

S3E08: 1122083

Track two. Track two.

18:40 - 18:43

S3E08: 1124583

Put the hostage here by the ottoman.

18:43 - 18:45

S3E08: 1126625

Get it out of here. What's it doing in here?

18:45 - 18:47

S3E08: 1128666

- Ottoman out. - And George Sr. was released...

18:47 - 18:50

S3E08: 1132750

- from his long journey into the living room. - Where am I?

18:50 - 18:53

S3E08: 1136083

- Colombia. Where do you think? - And you just missed the last train...

18:53 - 18:57

that will come through the jungle for three days.

18:57 - 18:59

S3E08: 1140750

- He's good. - He's a Groundling.

18:59 - 19:01

S3E08: 1142541

You have betrayed us, and we will make you pay...

19:01 - 19:03

S3E08: 1145166

- and then we will go back for your sons. - My sons? No.

19:03 - 19:06

S3E08: 1149291

They too will suffer for your terrible decisions.

19:07 - 19:10

S3E08: 1151333

And you should really pay your workers what they deserve...

19:10 - 19:12

S3E08: 1153375

not make them have to buy their own supplies.

19:12 - 19:14

S3E08: 1155375

Not just the painting. The sanding too.

19:14 - 19:16

S3E08: 1157750

Yeah, and the taping is very time-consuming.

19:16 - 19:18

S3E08: 1161041

Michael decided his father was ready to learn his lesson.

19:19 - 19:22

S3E08: 1163958

- And that is why... - He's got a gun!

19:22 - 19:24

S3E08: 1165875

I can't let you do it! Get away!

19:24 - 19:27

S3E08: 1169208

Get away. I'll shoot. I will, I will. I'll take you all out.

19:27 - 19:30

S3E08: 1172791

- This is all fake. These guys are painters. - I will, I will!

19:30 - 19:33

S3E08: 1175708

- Oh, God! My arm. - Dad, you just shot off this guy...

19:33 - 19:38

S3E08: 1179458

This guy's arm.

19:38 - 19:40

S3E08: 1182541

And that's why you don't teach your father a lesson.

19:40 - 19:44

S3E08: 1186458

Who's the stupid one now? Thank you, Gob.

19:44 - 19:48

S3E08: 1190000

Gob? You told him? I thought we were a team.

19:48 - 19:51

S3E08: 1193500

- It's not fun feeling stupid, is it? - You son of a...

19:51 - 19:55

S3E08: 1198666

- Wait a minute. I gotta get my camera. - Get off of me!

19:57 - 19:59

S3E08: 1201166

What is all this? What's going on?

19:59 - 20:02

S3E08: 1203500

Keep it in frame. You wanna... Cheat out.

20:02 - 20:04

S3E08: 1205625

- I will kill you! - I'm gonna kill you.

20:04 - 20:06

S3E08: 1207625

- You're going out of frame. - I'll kill you.

20:06 - 20:08

S3E08: 1210000

No!

20:09 - 20:10

S3E08: 1212125

Oh, my God! Michael!

20:11 - 20:13

S3E08: 1215958

Dad... It was an accident. I'm sorry.

20:13 - 20:18

S3E08: 1220416

And that's why you don't pit Gob and me against each other.

20:18 - 20:21

S3E08: 1223333

- Yes! Yeah! - Gob.

20:21 - 20:24

S3E08: 1225750

- You set me up. - That's right.

20:24 - 20:26

S3E08: 1228666

- No more "boyfights." - J. Walter Weatherman was in on it too?

20:26 - 20:30

S3E08: 1231833

- Right from the very start. - So you did use him.

20:30 - 20:32

S3E08: 1234583

Look at this place. Look at my home.

20:33 - 20:36

S3E08: 1238416

- Freeze! Drop the gun. - It's okay. We're just trying to teach this guy a lesson.

20:36 - 20:40

S3E08: 1242416

- Drop the gun! - Oh, my good hand!

20:40 - 20:44

S3E08: 1245375

Buster's good hand just came...

20:44 - 20:46

S3E08: 1247750

flying off.

20:46 - 20:48

S3E08: 1251458

And that's why you don't use a one-armed person to scare someone.

20:48 - 20:53

S3E08: 1257708

On the next Arrested Development.

20:56 - 20:58

S3E08: 1259250

Maeby finds a way to scare an entire generation.

20:58 - 21:01

S3E08: 1263666

This Christmas, terror has a new face.

21:01 - 21:05

S3E08: 1267125

I'm thirsty.

21:05 - 21:08

S3E08: 1270500

Gangy.

21:09 - 21:11

S3E08: 1272791

We should start production on Gangy Two.

21:11 - 21:13

S3E08: 1274708

Well, I know she wanted a skin peel.

21:13 - 21:15
