Episode 3x11 - "Family Ties"
Director: Robert Berlinger
Michael Bluth believed he’d just made a shocking discovery.
00:05 - 00:08
That might be an older sister that we've never met.
00:08 - 00:11
Wow. Look at the beak on that bird.
00:11 - 00:14
Michael found the picture in a secret room...
00:14 - 00:16
while looking for incriminating evidence against his father.
00:17 - 00:19
- Don't you kind of remember having an older sister? - Not at all.
00:21 - 00:24
- What, do you? - A little bit. I mean, "Nellie" does sound familiar.
00:24 - 00:27
- Mom and Dad clearly were trying to keep this hidden from us. - But this could be anybody.
00:27 - 00:30
This could be a deformed neighbor or...
00:30 - 00:32
A child that Mom and Dad gave up for some reason...
00:32 - 00:35
and whose identity they're now using to pin their crimes on.
00:36 - 00:38
Do you remember when you thought there was a mysterious Mr. "F" out to get you?
00:44 - 00:47
This is different. This is N. Bluth.
00:51 - 00:55
Well, why don't you just go to Dad and ask who Nellie is, point blank?
00:55 - 00:58
So he can just cover it up and lie?
00:58 - 01:00
I can't stand to hear one more lie out of this family.
01:00 - 01:03
Ah, there's the woman I'm sexually attracted to.
01:03 - 01:06
Okay. But that's the last one.
01:06 - 01:08
- Well, I'm off to the gym to prepare for our tryst. - Tryst?
01:08 - 01:11
Yes, Lindsay and I are planning a night of heterosexual intercourse.
01:11 - 01:15
- You can just say intercourse. - We talked about it last night.
01:15 - 01:18
After a disappointing attempt at lovemaking.
01:18 - 01:21
Ah, this isn't going to happen. I just want you to be satisfied.
01:21 - 01:24
Oh, T., you're always thinking of others.
01:24 - 01:26
I tried that. It didn't work either.
01:26 - 01:28
You know, maybe I would be more attracted to you if you were in better shape.
01:28 - 01:33
- Does that make me shallow? - No.
01:36 - 01:38
I was gonna say the same thing to you.
01:38 - 01:40
and then we'll plan a special night in seven or eight days.
01:43 - 01:46
- Or a couple of weeks. - Let's say three weeks.
01:46 - 01:49
- We're gonna go for it in a month. - At the start of next month.
01:49 - 01:51
And we're gonna call it a 31-day month.
01:51 - 01:53
Even though this particular month has 30 days.
01:53 - 01:55
Oh, you know, I've already prepared a list of "won'ts."
01:55 - 01:58
Oh, you're not gonna believe this. My list of "can'ts."
01:58 - 02:01
Marital love can be so romantic.
02:01 - 02:04
- What's that supposed to mean? - What?
02:04 - 02:06
"Marital love." You were looking right at me, and you said "marital love." Why would I...
02:06 - 02:10
George Michael was interested because earlier that day...
02:10 - 02:13
he discovered that the recent mock wedding he'd acted in with his cousin Maeby...
02:13 - 02:17
- We're married? - was, in fact, as real and binding...
02:17 - 02:20
as the rice pudding the disoriented patients had thrown at them.
02:20 - 02:24
- I was talking to your aunt and uncle. - Of course.
02:24 - 02:27
They're married too... Each other.
02:27 - 02:30
Oh, please. Pity the fool who gives me a bunch of jibber-jabber about romance.
02:30 - 02:33
My religious girlfriend just dumped me, and for a simple little misunderstanding.
02:33 - 02:37
If someone was always asking you to embrace the Holy Trinity, what would you think they meant?
02:37 - 02:41
Gob thought it meant a three-way.
02:41 - 02:43
What? I thought that's what all you guys lived for.
02:43 - 02:47
What about you? You game?
02:47 - 02:49
- Well, maybe she just wasn't for you. - Which one?
02:49 - 02:52
I really wasn't paying attention.
02:52 - 02:54
The real problem is she keeps saying that God is gonna show me a sign.
02:54 - 02:58
The... something of my ways. "Wisdom"?
02:58 - 03:02
It's probably "wisdom." Gob, listen, can I ask you a question?
03:02 - 03:05
- Do you remember growing up with a sister? - Sister.
03:05 - 03:08
Uh, no, I don't.
03:08 - 03:11
Not really ringin' any bells.
03:11 - 03:14
- Other than Lindsay, of course. - Oh, Lindsay!
03:14 - 03:17
Well, you might not be the most reputable source on this.
03:17 - 03:19
- Upstairs... - What?
03:19 - 03:21
- George Michael was sharing his news with his cousin. - You mean we're married?
03:22 - 03:24
- It's just a piece of paper. It doesn't mean anything. - We should shred it.
03:24 - 03:28
- It's creeping me out. - Yeah, me... It's...
03:28 - 03:30
But if we just put it over the dresser, like we think it's a joke...
03:30 - 03:33
- then we would always know... - It is a joke.
03:33 - 03:36
Unless we get it framed.
03:36 - 03:38
And Michael went to investigate his mystery sister.
03:38 - 03:42
- Michael! What a surprise. - Really? Were you expecting somebody else?
03:42 - 03:45
Maybe, uh, one of your two daughters?
03:46 - 03:48
Oh, Lindsay and Tobias never visit.
03:48 - 03:51
We're so bad!
03:51 - 03:54
I-I actually meant Lindsay and Nellie.
03:54 - 03:57
You call him that too?
03:57 - 03:59
- Oh, it's so nice to be able to talk like this. - Where's Dad?
03:59 - 04:03
- What's all this? - Computer stuff from the office.
04:03 - 04:06
Pop, you're not doin' another one of those Black Fridays? Your mass firings?
04:06 - 04:10
Before firing his employees, however...
04:10 - 04:13
George Sr. had been sure to clear the office of its valuables.
04:13 - 04:16
So, when do we get to see our new, fancy offices?
04:16 - 04:18
Soon as you get your new, fancy jobs. You're all fired.
04:18 - 04:22
The employees never saw it coming...
04:22 - 04:24
even though their first task was often to unload computers from a rental truck.
04:24 - 04:29
No, it's not a Black Friday, although I did enjoy those.
04:29 - 04:32
No, the prosecution's gonna want to have access to the hard drive...
04:32 - 04:36
so I just want to make sure everything's nice and clean for them.
04:36 - 04:40
- What the hell is that thing? - An electromagnet.
04:40 - 04:42
Think of it as a giant delete key.
04:42 - 04:44
Well, I hate to spoil your fun, Dad...
04:44 - 04:46
but I got backups on all of that stuff, and this is illegal.
04:46 - 04:49
Oh! Well, excuse me, Judge Reinhold...
04:50 - 04:52
but I am trying to protect my family.
04:52 - 04:55
That's not a real gold necklace, is it?
04:57 - 04:59
Well, it wasn't really your 50th birthday.
04:59 - 05:02
You know, Dad, you can't have this stuff in here, all right?
05:02 - 05:04
And we don't need more trouble.
05:04 - 05:06
It's bad enough you got Buster faking a coma just so he doesn't have to testify.
05:06 - 05:10
I've been trying to get him out of that coma.
05:10 - 05:12
It's costing us a fortune. He's sleeping us dry.
05:13 - 05:15
Okay, faker, I'm cutting the cord.
05:15 - 05:19
I'll see ya at the snack machine.
05:19 - 05:24
If he knows that you don't want him in the coma, then why's he still in it?
05:24 - 05:26
For some reason, he won't tell me.
05:27 - 05:29
- He'd fallen for his day nurse. - Buster, you're so dear.
05:29 - 05:32
She'd found his complete lack of personality and movement enchanting.
05:32 - 05:36
I wish you could say something.
05:36 - 05:40
Course, if you did, everything would be ruined 'cause you wouldn't be as pure.
05:40 - 05:44
Speaking of living a lie, I don't suppose either of you have remembered who this N. Bluth is.
05:44 - 05:48
Not a Nick or a Nellie?
05:48 - 05:51
Just the one who married Lindsay.
05:51 - 05:55
Oh, isn't it fun to talk like this?
05:55 - 05:57
So Michael returned to the office, where the atmosphere was paranoid.
06:00 - 06:03
- Is it Black Friday? - No one's getting fired. No one's getting fired.
06:03 - 06:06
But we haven't been paid, and they took our computers.
06:06 - 06:08
This looks bad, but it's just my father trying to erase the hard drives to avoid conviction.
06:08 - 06:12
The company is fine. This is... This is fun though, isn't it?
06:12 - 06:14
They brought out all the old machines.
06:14 - 06:16
They've seen better days, but I'm sure they're all functional, right?
06:17 - 06:20
- Like Tom here. - I'm 30.
06:20 - 06:23
You're kidding me.
06:23 - 06:25
But Michael found the equipment frustrating as well.
06:25 - 06:28
"Gob's Program"? Idiot.
06:28 - 06:33
And then he noticed something else.
06:33 - 06:35
- Nellie. - Michael, I gotta talk to...
06:38 - 06:40
Oh, wow. K-Y pro, huh?
06:40 - 06:43
Hey, don't get any moisture on these babes.
06:43 - 06:45
Hey! Tobias.
06:45 - 06:47
Buddy, I needed that information.
06:47 - 06:49
This is that sister I've been lookin' for.
06:49 - 06:51
Just hit "print screen." I'm sure that whatever's on there will come up.
06:51 - 06:55
Oh, look at that.
06:55 - 06:57
I kind of remember these being faster, you know?
06:59 - 07:01
Well, we were probably all so jacked up on amyl and disco music we didn't notice.
07:01 - 07:05
But I'm glad about this printer lag...
07:05 - 07:07
because I was hoping to have a jaw session with you.
07:07 - 07:10
Why don't we just say as long as that means a talk?
07:11 - 07:13
I find myself attracted to someone who's not my wife.
07:13 - 07:18
- What's her name? - Michael.
07:18 - 07:21
- Can you believe it? - You're married to my sister.
07:21 - 07:24
Don't you think I know that?
07:25 - 07:26
- I-I'm not interested in you that way. - What way?
07:27 - 07:29
- Pick one. - No.
07:29 - 07:31
Did you think you were the Michael I was talking about? No.
07:31 - 07:34
- What? - No, interesting that your mind went there though.
07:35 - 07:38
Okay. Uh, no. I'm afraid the Michael I'm talking about is all lady.
07:38 - 07:43
- She's the trainer at my gym. - The trainer you started with today?
07:43 - 07:46
- Indeed. Can you believe she's a bodybuilder? - Indeed.
07:46 - 07:49
What am I doing? What am I doing? What am I doing?
07:49 - 07:52
- What am I doing? - You're nervous about becoming intimate with Lindsay again.
07:52 - 07:55
- I guess. - You probably should not rush into things.
07:55 - 07:57
Don't call this girl-Michael. Stay away from the gym.
07:57 - 08:00
- Just leave it alone. - Wise words, boy-Michael.
08:00 - 08:03
I'll tell you, if I wasn't so dripping and disgustingly sweaty right now...
08:03 - 08:06
I'd hop over this desk and give you such a hug.
08:06 - 08:09
- Hey, coulda, shoulda, woulda. - Hey, hey. No, no.
08:10 - 08:12
Ooh, look. Number's up. Look at that.
08:12 - 08:15
Ah, it would've been a seven.
08:15 - 08:17
Later that night, Lucille visited Buster in the hospital.
08:18 - 08:21
- What the hell is this? - My name is Representative John Van Heusen.
08:21 - 08:25
I am here to protect the dignity of this boy's life.
08:25 - 08:28
Dignity? Easy for you to say.
08:28 - 08:30
I'm the one who has to loofah his stump.
08:30 - 08:33
I believe death is wrong in all of its forms, except lethal injection.
08:33 - 08:36
But that's just as a deterrent against more death.
08:36 - 08:39
And this young man is enjoying life.
08:39 - 08:42
Hey! Hey! Huh? Hey, look at us, huh?
08:42 - 08:44
We're havin' a blast here, huh?
08:44 - 08:46
How the hell did you even find out about Sleeping Beauty here?
08:47 - 08:49
It was an anonymous tip from someone who cares about Buster's life.
08:49 - 08:52
It's not ringing any bells.
08:52 - 08:54
In fact, it was Buster himself.
08:54 - 08:56
They're trying to kill Baby Buster.
08:56 - 08:59
Oh, that's right... from the videos.
08:59 - 09:01
Well, no one's killin' Baby Buster on my watch.
09:01 - 09:04
That is unless, of course, it's as a penalty in a three-strikes scenario.
09:05 - 09:08
No one's called him Baby Buster since high school.
09:08 - 09:12
Michael, meanwhile...
09:12 - 09:14
had called one number after another until he found Frank...
09:14 - 09:18
- a colleague of the woman he knew as Nellie. - I'm looking for Nellie.
09:18 - 09:21
Yeah. Well, she's workin' a software convention at some hotel.
09:21 - 09:24
- I can set up a meeting at the bar, man. - Appreciate it.
09:24 - 09:27
So Michael arrived at the bar...
09:27 - 09:30
hoping to spot someone who could be his sister.
09:30 - 09:33
She grew into the nose. Nellie? Hey! Hi.
09:35 - 09:39
Michael. Frank sent me.
09:39 - 09:41
- I think I might be interested in your services. - You won't be sorry.
09:41 - 09:44
Yeah? I was hoping that maybe we could just talk a little bit first, huh?
09:44 - 09:47
- Yeah, most people want to. - They did talk.
09:47 - 09:50
And Michael felt a connection like he'd never felt with anyone in his family.
09:50 - 09:54
I had a locker on the first floor freshman year...
09:54 - 09:56
right next to the caf with all the junior lockers, so it was clearly a mistake.
09:56 - 10:00
- But I didn't say anything, right? - Ooh, you're bad.
10:00 - 10:03
I had that same locker all throughout sophomore year.
10:03 - 10:05
- Junior year they had me on the third floor with all the frosh. - That is wild.
10:06 - 10:09
I had the same combo throughout 'cause I transferred the lock. Let me tell you why.
10:09 - 10:12
Hey, let's see what some of the other folks are up to.
10:12 - 10:15
Nothing there.
10:17 - 10:19
Or there.
10:20 - 10:22
Oh, my.
10:22 - 10:25
Let's get back to Michael.
10:25 - 10:28
It was Joe Namath's number, Babe Ruth's number, then my birthday.
10:28 - 10:31
That is a great story.
10:31 - 10:33
It wasn't a great story.
10:33 - 10:35
Nellie was just a great listener. Most prostitutes are.
10:35 - 10:39
Nellie, the hell with formalities.
10:39 - 10:41
- I think you and I should do business together. - Me too.
10:41 - 10:43
Michael had just hired a woman he'd secretly believed to be his sister.
10:49 - 10:54
How did you get into this line of work?
10:54 - 10:56
But, of course, he'd also yet to figure out she was a prostitute.
10:56 - 10:59
I was buried in loan debt from business school, so I started whoring myself out.
11:00 - 11:03
Not that there weren't clues.
11:03 - 11:05
What do you say we go up to my room and seal the deal?
11:05 - 11:09
You're stayin' here, huh? I was actually hoping to get into your business tomorrow.
11:09 - 11:12
It would give you a chance to meet everybody in the office.
11:12 - 11:14
'Cause you're gonna be working for the whole staff.
11:14 - 11:17
- You're gonna be filling three openings. - Oh!
11:17 - 11:18
I heard there were a couple of girls like me consulting over at Enron.
11:19 - 11:22
So the next day, Michael introduced his new consultant to his staff...
11:22 - 11:26
who weren't that pleased to meet her.
11:26 - 11:28
You hired someone else? We haven't even been paid yet.
11:28 - 11:31
That's exactly why I hired her... to help out with the finances.
11:31 - 11:34
She's absolutely amazing at that stuff. Right? You do do finances and stuff, right?
11:34 - 11:38
- I do all sorts of scenes. - There you go. Okay, guys.
11:38 - 11:41
Don't be afraid to put her in any position that you want, okay?
11:41 - 11:44
Dave, you give her access to everything, okay?
11:44 - 11:47
I want you guys to think of her as Nellie Bluth, all right?
11:47 - 11:50
In fact, we should probably get an I.D. With that printed on it, okay?
11:50 - 11:53
But she did have a list of "won'ts."
11:53 - 11:56
We're gonna have some ground rules first, okay? No!@%$#
11:56 - 12:00
!@%$ing or!@%ting.
12:00 - 12:02
And no!@%$#% unless you're wearing a!@%$#.
12:02 - 12:05
Or you!@%$#% before you!@%$ me.
12:06 - 12:08
And if this winds up on the Web, I will!@%$ you in the!@%.
12:08 - 12:12
Our computers don't even work on the Internet.
12:12 - 12:15
Who's first?
12:15 - 12:18
Back at the model home, George Michael was still...
12:18 - 12:20
trying to make his accidental marriage work.
12:20 - 12:22
I thought maybe tonight we could pop in an!@%$#%@! in the old DVD player...
12:22 - 12:26
and sit and watch it, maybe just the two of us, husband and wife?
12:26 - 12:29
I'm just kidding. I mean, the State of California isn't, but...
12:29 - 12:32
- I'm worried you're taking this too seriously. - Are...
12:35 - 12:37
Just the opposite.
12:37 - 12:39
What the hell is that?
12:43 - 12:45
I bought you a wedding ring... tone.
12:45 - 12:48
Opposite of serious.
12:48 - 12:51
And Michael was getting an update on how his newest employee, Nellie...
12:51 - 12:54
was working out.
12:55 - 12:56
Really? And all the guys like her, huh? That is... That is great.
12:57 - 12:59
Uh, you mean "away" though, right?
13:00 - 13:01
Because otherwise it sounds a little different.
13:02 - 13:04
But, uh, that's, uh... that's outstanding.
13:04 - 13:07
Real good. You forgot to say "away" again.
13:07 - 13:09
But, uh, listen, let me call you back in a bit, okay? Bye.
13:09 - 13:12
Nellie has blown them all away.
13:12 - 13:16
Yeah, well, I think it's crazy.
13:16 - 13:18
You've given her access to everything... the banking... and for what?
13:18 - 13:21
You're basing this on the fact she shares a name with someone you played with as a baby.
13:22 - 13:25
Lindsay, I can tell that it's real.
13:25 - 13:27
It's like that feeling that you read about twins having.
13:27 - 13:30
We're twins. You didn't give me access to the banking.
13:30 - 13:32
No, you just... you'd go out and you'd just whore it up, Lindsay, you know?
13:32 - 13:36
She's different. She's a little bit more like me.
13:36 - 13:38
- It's like we finish each other's... - Sandwiches?
13:38 - 13:41
Sentences.
13:41 - 13:43
- Why would I say... - Sandwiches?
13:43 - 13:45
That time I was gonna say sandwiches.
13:45 - 13:48
- So I guess you haven't told Nellie what you're thinking. - No, I have not.
13:48 - 13:51
I've been waiting for the right time.
13:51 - 13:53
I want to make sure she trusts me, especially since Dad is probably setting her up.
13:53 - 13:56
But I might want to hurry with that operation because she's charging us a fortune...
13:57 - 14:00
and she's got this old boss that's claiming he wants a percentage.
14:00 - 14:03
Yo, man, you owe me money. I ain't no dummy.
14:03 - 14:06
And it better be soon, or you're gonna feel my hand up your!@%$#.
14:06 - 14:10
So Nellie wants to meet me tonight for drinks. Maybe I'll tell her then.
14:10 - 14:13
That's funny. I'm going out tonight for drinks too... with an exciting new man.
14:13 - 14:16
Really trying to make that marriage work, aren't you?
14:16 - 14:19
Well, excuse me, Judge Reinhold, but I'm feeling a little pressure here.
14:19 - 14:22
If you had to have sex with Tobias in four months, you'd be shopping for a way out too.
14:22 - 14:25
I stand corrected and disgusted.
14:26 - 14:29
And Michael arrived for his meeting with Nellie.
14:29 - 14:31
- Are you Michael? - Yes.
14:31 - 14:33
- There's a nellie at the end of the bar wants to see you. - Great. Thank you.
14:33 - 14:36
- Oh, it's Tobias. - Michael.
14:36 - 14:38
Look, this has got to stop. I mean, flattered? Yes. Interested? Not tonight.
14:38 - 14:43
I-I think I-I see what's happening.
14:43 - 14:45
- You're meeting girl-Michael at the bar? - It was her idea.
14:45 - 14:48
She wanted to get a drink, and I know it's crazy.
14:48 - 14:50
I mean, I'm married. And the carbs.
14:50 - 14:53
Well, Tobias, sometimes life is about making difficult...
14:53 - 14:56
Sandwiches. I know.
14:56 - 14:58
- You read my mind. - Oh, God. Here she is.
14:59 - 15:01
- Next to that guy? - Uh, what guy?
15:04 - 15:06
That guy.
15:06 - 15:08
- No, that's her. - Him?
15:08 - 15:11
That's a girl.
15:11 - 15:13
I-I think the name Michael is making you look for a man.
15:13 - 15:16
- Think I'm lookin' at a man. - Michael.
15:16 - 15:19
- Yes? - Yes.
15:19 - 15:21
- No, I meant girl-Michael. - I'm gonna leave you two alone.
15:21 - 15:23
So nice to meet you, girl-Michael.
15:23 - 15:26
What? Yes? Hi, Nellie.
15:26 - 15:28
I was thinking that we could meet down here.
15:28 - 15:31
Uh, actually, I think I'm gonna come up.
15:31 - 15:33
I really need to see you.
15:33 - 15:36
I really want to see you too. There's something we need to talk about.
15:36 - 15:38
- I've always been mildly attracted to you. - What?
15:38 - 15:41
Let's face it. There's no denying that there's a heat between us.
15:42 - 15:44
- I'd like to deny that. - I know you feel it too... this burning desire.
15:44 - 15:48
I-I-I don't feel anything. I-I feel a burning mutual respect.
15:48 - 15:51
I've got an outfit that's gonna turn that respect into something fun.
15:52 - 15:54
Respect is fun, Nellie.
15:55 - 15:57
You're gonna want the respect when you hear where I... Where is the light?
15:57 - 16:00
- Don't touch that light! - What?
16:00 - 16:02
This is what happens when you steal from Frank's stable without payin'.
16:02 - 16:06
You want to be her pimp, you gotta settle up with me.
16:06 - 16:08
- Pimp? You mean that she's a... - Lady of the evening.
16:09 - 16:11
Working girl. She turns illusions for money.
16:11 - 16:15
And that's when Michael recognized the voice.
16:15 - 16:18
- Tricks. - Wait a minute.
16:18 - 16:20
Don't you do it! Ain't nobody gonna see what Frank look like!
16:20 - 16:22
Franklin is Frank?
16:22 - 16:26
Michael had just discovered that his brother...
16:28 - 16:31
was the pimp for the woman he thought was his sister.
16:31 - 16:34
What the hell is going on? Nellie is not a prostitute.
16:34 - 16:36
Of course she is. Oh, but I can see what the misunderstanding is.
16:37 - 16:40
You didn't know. Maybe we can give him a family discount!
16:40 - 16:43
Family discount is right. This is the sister that I've been talking about.
16:43 - 16:46
Maybe I should've been getting a family rate. Oh, my God!
16:46 - 16:50
- How do you know her? - Met up with her after a show.
16:50 - 16:52
- And you did things with her? - He didn't.
16:52 - 16:54
- I did. - Well, if you consider crying like a girl doing something.
16:54 - 16:59
I just want my brother to respect me, you know. I don't even have a job.
16:59 - 17:03
Look, I could use a man's voice on the phone, and I like your little puppet show.
17:03 - 17:08
Ain't so little when I take my pants off, lady.
17:08 - 17:11
I mean, obviously I'd take some of the cry out of that.
17:11 - 17:14
But I am not a pimp, Michael.
17:14 - 17:16
She needed protection, so I make some threats, I wear this hat...
17:16 - 17:20
and I collect my 10%.
17:20 - 17:23
Yeah, that's a pimp, and our sister is a prostitute.
17:23 - 17:26
- I'm your sister? - I think so.
17:26 - 17:29
I found you in my dad's computer.
17:29 - 17:31
I thought that maybe he was embezzling money and taking advantage of you.
17:31 - 17:34
- And that's why I hired you to do your work at the office. - Oh, my God.
17:34 - 17:37
Wait a minute. What... What kind of work did you do?
17:37 - 17:39
No wonder they were so happy.
17:39 - 17:42
- I'm so embarrassed! - Nellie, hang on a second.
17:42 - 17:45
You know, Gob, this might be that sign from God that you should change your ways.
17:45 - 17:50
No, I think that's gonna be something big.
17:50 - 17:53
Downstairs, meanwhile, Lindsay arrived at the bar for her date.
17:53 - 17:57
- Michael. Oh, my God! My husband! - Oh, my God! My wife!
17:57 - 18:00
- Are you two here for each other? - Is that what you're doing?
18:00 - 18:03
- How dare you! - How dare you!
18:03 - 18:05
- And with another man! - And with another woman!
18:05 - 18:08
Wait, wait. You didn't plan this together?
18:08 - 18:10
- I just assumed you wanted a Holy Trinity. - Absolutely not!
18:10 - 18:13
We're a happily married couple.
18:14 - 18:15
Yes, who happen to be very much in love with each other.
18:16 - 18:19
Well, you're still gonna have to pay Frank.
18:19 - 18:22
- And Michael confronted his father. - I know who N. Bluth is.
18:22 - 18:25
It is Nellie, and I found her.
18:25 - 18:28
That's your sissy cousin Larry.
18:28 - 18:30
Even then we knew. That's why we called him Nellie.
18:30 - 18:33
Do you not know that expression, Michael? I thought we were on the same page here.
18:33 - 18:36
It's a nice try, Pop, but in your old computer I found a Nellie.
18:36 - 18:38
You're tryin' to tell me that that is not my sister?
18:38 - 18:41
Yes. It's perfectly innocent. She's my prostitute.
18:41 - 18:44
I'm a red-blooded man. I have certain needs that your mom can't satisfy.
18:44 - 18:47
But sex wasn't one of them.
18:47 - 18:50
I just want my brother to hand me my money.
18:50 - 18:54
But he's got that hair.
18:54 - 18:56
Why can't I have hair and money, and him nothing?
18:56 - 19:00
She's not my sister. I let her into the company.
19:00 - 19:03
- You didn't give her access to the cash, did you? - She said she liked me.
19:03 - 19:07
She's a prostitute. That's her job. Oh, no. The N. Bluth account.
19:07 - 19:12
What? The N. Bluth account? That is your account?
19:13 - 19:15
Maybe. But it's only embezzlement if you spend it outside the company.
19:15 - 19:20
It's gone. It's empty.
19:20 - 19:22
- She got to it. - There goes the company.
19:22 - 19:25
Okay. Now, hold on now.
19:25 - 19:27
Let's not panic because I-I know someone who can find her.
19:27 - 19:30
- His name is Frank. - That's Gob's puppet.
19:30 - 19:32
I'm going to prison.
19:34 - 19:36
You haven't heard from Oscar lately, have you?
19:36 - 19:39
- No. - Okay.
19:39 - 19:40
And the next day Michael returned to the office...
19:40 - 19:43
to tell the employees that Black Friday had indeed arrived.
19:43 - 19:46
Hey, Ted. What's goin' on?
19:46 - 19:48
Nellie got all of us our checks and these great new computers.
19:48 - 19:51
Excuse me. Nellie, you did this?
19:51 - 19:53
I took it out of the N. Bluth account.
19:54 - 19:56
If you spend it within the company, it gives the prosecutors nothing.
19:56 - 19:58
Also, it was the only way to get myself the 10 grand that you owed me.
19:58 - 20:01
Ten grand? What... What did you do with these guys exactly?
20:01 - 20:04
They mostly just cried. You've got a real morale problem here.
20:04 - 20:07
You cried?
20:07 - 20:10
- Listen, I thought that you were going to... - Steal it?
20:11 - 20:14
- Yes. - But I might be your sister, remember?
20:14 - 20:16
The fact that you didn't steal it might actually be proof that you're not.
20:16 - 20:20
Even if we're not related, I think I would like for you to work here.
20:20 - 20:23
You're very, very good at it...
20:23 - 20:25
and what you do for a job is not really a great way to make a living, you know?
20:26 - 20:29
- I make 300 grand a year. - Marry me!
20:29 - 20:31
It's weird on so many levels.
20:32 - 20:35
On the next Arrested Development.
20:35 - 20:37
Gob has a religious conversion.
20:37 - 20:39
I've seen a sign, and I want to make this work.
20:39 - 20:42
A committed relationship that actually means something.
20:42 - 20:45
How about you? You want to do just the two of us?
20:49 - 20:51
And Buster's fake coma is put to its greatest test.
20:51 - 20:55
- Don't you die on me. Don't you die on me. - Oh, my.
20:59 - 21:02
