1
00:00:01,020 --> 00:00:04,421
Now the story of a wealthy family
who lost everything...
2
00:00:04,523 --> 00:00:06,514
and the one son
who had no choice...
3
00:00:06,625 --> 00:00:08,616
but to keep them all together.
4
00:00:14,166 --> 00:00:15,861
It's Arrested Development.
5
00:00:18,037 --> 00:00:20,528
George Michael
was getting ready for school...
6
00:00:20,639 --> 00:00:23,699
when he came across a box
oflove letters he'd written...
7
00:00:23,809 --> 00:00:27,370
but never sent
to his cousin Maeby.
8
00:00:27,479 --> 00:00:30,209
One letter titled "If You Weren't My Cousin,"
9
00:00:30,315 --> 00:00:32,215
was particularly incriminating.
10
00:00:32,317 --> 00:00:34,285
Hey, pal, you want a ride to school?
11
00:00:34,386 --> 00:00:36,786
Um, no. Actually, I'm-
12
00:00:36,889 --> 00:00:39,050
I'm riding with the Veals, Ann's parents.
13
00:00:39,158 --> 00:00:42,685
You don't need to be penned up with them.
I'll drive you both. We'll take the stairs.
14
00:00:42,795 --> 00:00:45,491
Right. Here's the thing though.
It's kind of cramped in there.
15
00:00:45,597 --> 00:00:48,964
Plus, a lot ofkids are still talking about when
you took down that homecoming banner.
16
00:00:50,669 --> 00:00:53,137
Listen, are you embarrassed
to be seen in that car?
17
00:00:53,238 --> 00:00:55,399
It's not a car. But- But, no.
18
00:00:57,342 --> 00:00:59,936
I've got to get a new car.
19
00:01:00,045 --> 00:01:02,946
George Michael decided
to hide the love letters in the attic...
20
00:01:03,048 --> 00:01:04,948
although Maeby
had her own problems.
21
00:01:05,050 --> 00:01:06,950
After lying about her age...
22
00:01:07,052 --> 00:01:10,886
she had conned her way into a job
as a movie studio executive.
23
00:01:10,989 --> 00:01:14,254
Did you get the stack of scripts that I sent you?
'Cause you certainly look well-rested.
24
00:01:14,359 --> 00:01:17,419
- Marry me.
- Ha! I need your notes on those tomorrow.
25
00:01:17,529 --> 00:01:20,157
- Wanna have a drink?
- Yeah. Why don't we ask your wife
to come with us?
26
00:01:20,265 --> 00:01:22,426
Okay, then.
I'll see you tomorrow.
27
00:01:22,534 --> 00:01:25,298
And downstairs, Buster paid a visit.
28
00:01:25,404 --> 00:01:28,669
- Hey, Brother. I need a favor.
- Of course you do.
29
00:01:28,774 --> 00:01:31,265
I'm on furlough this week, and
everybody's out dancing with their girl...
30
00:01:31,376 --> 00:01:34,277
- and I'm home sitting with Mom.
- Mom doesn't wanna go dancing?
31
00:01:34,379 --> 00:01:37,280
I think the age difference
is really starting to catch up to us.
32
00:01:37,382 --> 00:01:39,942
Maybe it's time you got out there
and started meeting people, you know?
33
00:01:40,052 --> 00:01:43,351
Meetin' women. Meetin' women
who didn't give birth to you.
34
00:01:43,455 --> 00:01:47,949
- Maybe you could go with me.
- Not really what I meant-
I have a very busy schedule now.
35
00:01:48,060 --> 00:01:52,724
My schedule, however, is as open
as my relationship with my wife.
36
00:01:52,831 --> 00:01:55,493
So why don't we pair up?
37
00:01:55,601 --> 00:01:57,466
And-And hit the town together.
38
00:01:57,569 --> 00:01:59,560
- Oh.
- I'll be your wingman.
39
00:01:59,671 --> 00:02:03,971
Even if it means
me taking a chubby, I will suck it up.
40
00:02:04,076 --> 00:02:06,271
Boy, that's enough
family stuff for today.
41
00:02:06,378 --> 00:02:09,404
That's right, Michael.
Guess whojust got fired.
42
00:02:09,515 --> 00:02:12,746
Gob was recently hired
by the Bluth Company's rival...
43
00:02:12,851 --> 00:02:14,751
Sitwell Enterprises.
44
00:02:14,853 --> 00:02:18,846
- Although he started off well-
- Fifty-two percent of the country is single.
45
00:02:18,957 --> 00:02:21,653
That's a market that's been
dominated by apartment rentals.
46
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,424
Let's take some of that market.
I call it Single City.
47
00:02:26,532 --> 00:02:28,659
His ideas failed to evolve.
48
00:02:28,767 --> 00:02:31,668
It's like, "Hey, you wanna
go down to the whirlpool?"
49
00:02:31,770 --> 00:02:34,330
"Yeah. I don't have a husband."
I call it Swing City.
50
00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:37,101
Let's get into some new
areas, if you don't mind.
51
00:02:37,209 --> 00:02:40,508
But Gob continued
to fine-tune his first one.
52
00:02:40,612 --> 00:02:42,512
How do we filter out the teases?
53
00:02:42,614 --> 00:02:44,605
We don't let them in.
54
00:02:44,716 --> 00:02:46,616
This goes for the guys too...
55
00:02:46,718 --> 00:02:48,743
because sometimes the guys
are tapped out.
56
00:02:48,854 --> 00:02:53,450
But check your lease, man,
because you're livin' in- City.
57
00:02:53,559 --> 00:02:55,527
- You're fired.
- So get this.
58
00:02:55,627 --> 00:02:57,322
I took his dress eyebrows.
59
00:02:57,429 --> 00:03:00,694
Sitwell suffered from a disease
that rendered him completely hairless.
60
00:03:00,799 --> 00:03:03,029
He's not gonna be happy about that.
61
00:03:03,135 --> 00:03:06,070
No, especially when he goes to the opera
with two mustaches on his forehead.
62
00:03:06,171 --> 00:03:09,197
Oh, but the good news is:
I'm coming back to the Bluth Company.
63
00:03:09,308 --> 00:03:12,869
Gob, we're gettin' all jammed up here, okay?
64
00:03:12,978 --> 00:03:15,572
The only reason that you were president
was to appease the board.
65
00:03:15,681 --> 00:03:17,581
They've been appeased.
I got the job.
66
00:03:17,683 --> 00:03:21,949
No, I don't need to be president.
I just liked having an office, a title.
67
00:03:22,054 --> 00:03:23,817
- Sure.
- Paycheck.
68
00:03:23,922 --> 00:03:27,380
Also I need a company car.
You do have to match Sitwell there.
69
00:03:27,492 --> 00:03:29,255
Hang on. He gave you
a company car?
70
00:03:29,361 --> 00:03:32,057
Yeah. And it was way better than any
of the company cars Dad ever gave me.
71
00:03:32,164 --> 00:03:34,632
- Yeah, right.
- I mean, the Camaro was okay.
72
00:03:36,501 --> 00:03:39,231
Are you serious?
Dad gave you the Camaro?
73
00:03:39,338 --> 00:03:42,273
I thought you won that
on Card Sharks.
74
00:03:42,374 --> 00:03:46,970
Michael, I was never on Card Sharks.
Dad told us not to tell you.
75
00:03:47,079 --> 00:03:49,513
Michael decided to confront his father...
76
00:03:49,615 --> 00:03:52,607
who'd been living in the attic
since he'd escaped from prison.
77
00:03:52,718 --> 00:03:55,278
- Dad?
- Oh, thank God you're here.
78
00:03:55,387 --> 00:03:57,855
I'm going crazy
with the boredom, Michael.
79
00:03:57,956 --> 00:04:01,016
At least in prison, we had knife fights,
and we had movie night.
80
00:04:01,126 --> 00:04:05,790
And once both. Those men did not enjoy Soapdish.
I think you have to know that world.
81
00:04:05,897 --> 00:04:09,833
Yeah, listen, did you buy a company car
for everyone in the family except me?
82
00:04:09,935 --> 00:04:12,096
Well, according to the books,
I gave you four.
83
00:04:12,204 --> 00:04:14,866
I'm serious. I'm driving
a staircase, for God's sake.
84
00:04:14,973 --> 00:04:16,964
It smells like gas.
I get hop-ons.
85
00:04:17,075 --> 00:04:20,010
- Well, of course you're gonna get hop-ons.
- I pull down banners, all right?
86
00:04:20,112 --> 00:04:23,309
And most importantly, Dad,
my son does not like to be seen in it.
87
00:04:23,415 --> 00:04:25,645
But he likes being seen with that girl.
88
00:04:25,751 --> 00:04:28,117
- It makes no sense, I know.
- It doesn't.
89
00:04:28,220 --> 00:04:30,620
I never gave you a-a company car.
90
00:04:30,722 --> 00:04:33,156
No, I gave you something
far more important.
91
00:04:33,258 --> 00:04:35,988
I gave you company, which, apparently,
you don't want to give to me.
92
00:04:36,094 --> 00:04:39,257
- You're not listening to me.
I'd love to sit and chat, but...
- I'm lonely up here.
93
00:04:39,364 --> 00:04:42,265
I've got to get an early start.
I'm expecting headwinds on the stair car.
94
00:04:42,367 --> 00:04:46,235
You see anybody here? You could bring me
a book. Pop-Pop gets a Grisham?
95
00:04:46,338 --> 00:04:49,398
So you take your mom to work
every day? Bummer.
96
00:04:49,508 --> 00:04:53,035
Moms are such a pain in the ass, huh?
It's like "Die already!"
97
00:04:53,145 --> 00:04:55,511
- I love my mother.
- Huh?
98
00:04:55,614 --> 00:04:58,310
She's one of the two most
important people in my life.
99
00:04:58,417 --> 00:05:00,317
You know, she and Quincy.
100
00:05:00,419 --> 00:05:03,650
A spokesman
for Mr. Jones denies they've ever met...
101
00:05:03,755 --> 00:05:08,715
although he could not explain the six
signed gold records in Starla's apartment.
102
00:05:08,827 --> 00:05:11,853
I could never be with a man
who doesn't love his mother.
103
00:05:11,963 --> 00:05:13,828
- Oh.
- Wow.
104
00:05:13,932 --> 00:05:17,698
So, Michael, listen. I'm here
to convince you to hire me back.
105
00:05:17,803 --> 00:05:21,398
I'm an ideas man, Michael. I think
I proved that with- Mountain.
106
00:05:21,506 --> 00:05:23,406
Listen, I want this, Michael.
107
00:05:23,508 --> 00:05:25,703
I'm gonna prove to you that
I'm worthy of rehiring...
108
00:05:25,811 --> 00:05:28,780
if it takes every ounce of
determination that I've got.
109
00:05:30,282 --> 00:05:32,182
Where are you going?
110
00:05:32,284 --> 00:05:34,844
Did you want me
to stay and do that?
111
00:05:38,023 --> 00:05:41,186
- Barry.
- Good news and even better news.
112
00:05:41,293 --> 00:05:43,193
Your company's stock is unfrozen...
113
00:05:43,295 --> 00:05:45,195
and my lawsuit against
the L.A. Kings is moving forward.
114
00:05:45,297 --> 00:05:48,198
- How did that happen?
- Maybe a puck hit me. It could happen.
115
00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:53,294
No, the stock. Now, that means we can sell,
right? We can do whatever we want with it?
116
00:05:53,405 --> 00:05:56,374
I'll tell you one thing you don't want to do
is buy stock in the L.A. Kings.
117
00:05:56,475 --> 00:05:58,602
Do you think I could sell
enough to buy a car?
118
00:05:58,710 --> 00:06:01,577
I thought you had four.
Oh, you mean a real one. Yeah, sure.
119
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,410
You can get one, as long as everyone
doesn't sell the company stock at once.
120
00:06:04,516 --> 00:06:07,383
You don't want someone else
to get control of the company.
121
00:06:07,486 --> 00:06:11,047
Right. Gotta keep the company intact, right?
The other people shouldn't risk selling their-
122
00:06:11,156 --> 00:06:13,989
Maybe you can draft up
a letter to the investors:
123
00:06:14,092 --> 00:06:16,925
"Yes, the stock is unfrozen.
We urge you not to sell."
124
00:06:17,028 --> 00:06:20,555
Uh, yeah. Wh-What you just said was
perfect. Why do you want me to write it?
125
00:06:20,665 --> 00:06:24,601
Just send it out on your stationery.
And do it quickly. I have a car to buy.
126
00:06:24,703 --> 00:06:28,935
Meanwhile, Maeby snuck
upstairs to secretly read her scripts.
127
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,500
Ow! Back to film school-
128
00:06:35,046 --> 00:06:38,573
And George Sr. Was only too happy
to have something to read.
129
00:06:38,683 --> 00:06:41,311
Armageddon."
130
00:06:41,420 --> 00:06:44,583
That's a bad title.
131
00:06:44,689 --> 00:06:48,420
Meanwhile, Michael went to get
a good deal on a modest company car.
132
00:06:48,527 --> 00:06:51,655
Oh, something like this?
We have, like, 400 of these.
133
00:06:51,763 --> 00:06:53,958
L- I don't need
anything too popular.
134
00:06:54,065 --> 00:06:55,999
Oh, they're not popular.
We have 400 of them.
135
00:06:56,101 --> 00:06:58,001
Sold.
136
00:06:58,103 --> 00:07:02,506
Although, uh, I'm wondering if maybe
it should just be a little bit nicer.
137
00:07:02,607 --> 00:07:05,974
I got a kid, and safety's kind of
a factor. But nothing too flashy.
138
00:07:06,077 --> 00:07:10,013
This is it, isn't it?
I can tell. You're excited.
139
00:07:10,115 --> 00:07:12,083
- I am.
- I'll draw up the papers.
140
00:07:12,184 --> 00:07:15,347
Unless you think it's too drab.
141
00:07:15,454 --> 00:07:17,354
And it gets very good mileage.
142
00:07:17,456 --> 00:07:20,357
Yeah, well, it, uh- it looks light.
143
00:07:20,459 --> 00:07:22,552
You know, I'm not
so concerned about mileage.
144
00:07:22,661 --> 00:07:26,153
I spent the last 10 years on a bike,
with the exception of the stair car.
145
00:07:26,264 --> 00:07:28,892
Oh, you're the stair car guy.
You took down our banner.
146
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,026
Yeah. Sorry.
I got a hop-on.
147
00:07:32,137 --> 00:07:34,469
I got distracted.
I hate this.
148
00:07:34,573 --> 00:07:37,667
I like these sunglasses.
They come with any car?
149
00:07:37,776 --> 00:07:41,576
Just this one. They throw these extras
at you because it's so impractical.
150
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,875
No back seat.
It attracts so many tickets...
151
00:07:43,982 --> 00:07:46,644
the insurance alone costs as much
as the last three cars we saw.
152
00:07:46,751 --> 00:07:48,651
The windbreaker?
Windbreaker comes with it too?
153
00:07:48,753 --> 00:07:51,381
I guess. I don't know. I've never
sold one of these before, so-
154
00:07:51,490 --> 00:07:54,220
I'll take it.
155
00:07:57,327 --> 00:08:00,819
Michael had just indulged
himself with an expensive sports car-
156
00:08:00,930 --> 00:08:02,830
And here again, please.
157
00:08:02,932 --> 00:08:06,163
While Buster indulged
in a night out with Tobias.
158
00:08:06,269 --> 00:08:08,499
This place is exactly
what I had hoped for.
159
00:08:08,605 --> 00:08:11,665
- All ladies.
- Mmm.
160
00:08:11,775 --> 00:08:14,335
Well, I've heard that this uniform
is the best way to meet-
161
00:08:14,444 --> 00:08:17,413
- Lucille 2!
- Buster!
162
00:08:17,514 --> 00:08:20,915
- So you're back.
- Oh, I'm back, Buster!
163
00:08:21,017 --> 00:08:24,578
- Yeah?
- And I am rock steady! No more dizzies.
164
00:08:24,688 --> 00:08:27,054
Lucille Austero had just returned...
165
00:08:27,157 --> 00:08:32,094
from a month-long stay at a facility that
specialized in the treatment of vertigo.
166
00:08:32,195 --> 00:08:35,392
Ah. Ah, just a minute. You're okay.
167
00:08:35,498 --> 00:08:37,898
You're okay. You're okay.
We're okay. We're okay!
168
00:08:38,001 --> 00:08:41,300
Somebody'll be here in a second.
We're okay. We're okay.
169
00:08:41,404 --> 00:08:43,372
I am stable as a table.
170
00:08:43,473 --> 00:08:47,637
So, is there a-
a girl in your life?
171
00:08:47,744 --> 00:08:51,305
Well, I would hardly
call my mother a girl.
172
00:08:51,414 --> 00:08:53,644
But, yeah, she's still
very much a part of my life.
173
00:08:53,750 --> 00:08:57,777
No, I mean, uh, someone
who makes you hear music.
174
00:08:57,887 --> 00:09:00,856
Oh. Well, she mostly
likes talk radio.
175
00:09:00,957 --> 00:09:05,656
I mean, a girl who
makes you feel romantic...
176
00:09:05,762 --> 00:09:09,095
and also who makes you
hear beautiful music.
177
00:09:09,199 --> 00:09:11,258
Oh. No.
178
00:09:11,367 --> 00:09:15,269
I guess what I'm trying to say is-
179
00:09:18,775 --> 00:09:21,573
Everybody thinks
they're Frank Sinatra.
180
00:09:21,678 --> 00:09:25,011
- Maybe we could start anew.
181
00:09:28,118 --> 00:09:31,349
And later, Michael got
an urgent call from his mother.
182
00:09:31,454 --> 00:09:35,618
He's with her again.
Buster's taken up with that Lucille 2.
183
00:09:35,725 --> 00:09:37,625
That's why you called me here?
184
00:09:37,727 --> 00:09:40,389
I've got my secretary bringing over
a bunch of important papers.
185
00:09:40,497 --> 00:09:42,931
- I thought this was urgent.
- Well, it's all your fault.
186
00:09:43,032 --> 00:09:45,933
You're the one who insisted
he get away from Mother.
187
00:09:46,035 --> 00:09:48,936
Well, I wasn't trying to send him
to a new one. Where is he?
188
00:09:49,038 --> 00:09:50,938
He's on the balcony.
189
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,736
Buster?
190
00:09:53,843 --> 00:09:56,038
Mom's becoming a little controlling.
191
00:09:56,146 --> 00:09:58,614
What tripped you off? When she
locked you out on the balcony again?
192
00:09:58,715 --> 00:10:02,708
That was half my fault. I thought
I saw a graham cracker out there.
193
00:10:02,819 --> 00:10:05,982
- You baited the balcony?
- Prove it.
194
00:10:06,089 --> 00:10:08,421
So I don't typically
take sides with Mother...
195
00:10:08,525 --> 00:10:11,255
but l-l-I do agree that Lucille 2...
196
00:10:11,361 --> 00:10:14,489
might not be
the best choice for you.
197
00:10:14,597 --> 00:10:17,293
I wouldn't even have been there
if Mom wanted to go bowling.
198
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,800
How am I gonna meet someone
who has my interests?
199
00:10:19,903 --> 00:10:21,461
- Hi, Michael.
- Hey. Great.
200
00:10:21,571 --> 00:10:23,471
- I have those papers for you to sign.
- Perfect.
201
00:10:23,573 --> 00:10:25,734
By the way, I love your mother.
202
00:10:25,842 --> 00:10:28,208
- Oh, yeah, I do too.
- Oh.
203
00:10:30,013 --> 00:10:33,449
I think I may have found
a new girl for Buster.
204
00:10:33,550 --> 00:10:37,452
Good. That Lucille isn't really
interested in Buster anyway.
205
00:10:37,554 --> 00:10:40,990
- She's just trying to get even with me.
- Get even with you for what?
206
00:10:41,090 --> 00:10:44,685
She wanted me to let in her remodeling
crew while she was out of town.
207
00:10:44,794 --> 00:10:48,025
Wait a minute. This tub's
a little bigger than it used to be.
208
00:10:48,131 --> 00:10:51,692
It was.
Instead ofletting the construction crew...
209
00:10:51,801 --> 00:10:53,701
- into Lucille Austero's penthouse-
- Come right in.
210
00:10:53,803 --> 00:10:56,533
Lucille had put them to work
on a project ofher own.
211
00:10:57,941 --> 00:11:01,843
- What'd you do?
- Well, I sat on one of these jets.
212
00:11:01,945 --> 00:11:05,472
- But I think we can fix it.
- Don't give me that look.
213
00:11:05,582 --> 00:11:09,348
I moved the wall a couple
of inches into her penthouse.
214
00:11:09,452 --> 00:11:13,047
Don't think she's not over there
right now, plotting her revenge.
215
00:11:15,959 --> 00:11:18,951
God, the new equilibrium
really does-
216
00:11:19,062 --> 00:11:21,860
It makes the room seem tighter.
217
00:11:23,166 --> 00:11:25,566
She's always a step ahead of me.
218
00:11:25,668 --> 00:11:27,727
That's what makes her
such a worthy opponent.
219
00:11:27,837 --> 00:11:31,500
- How'd you pay for it?
- I cashed in some stock. You knew it was unfrozen.
220
00:11:31,608 --> 00:11:35,374
I know. I sent you that letter. It says
not to sell, or we're gonna lose control.
221
00:11:35,478 --> 00:11:39,039
It does? I stopped at "unfrozen."
222
00:11:39,148 --> 00:11:42,379
Lindsay, you didn't cash in your stock,
did you? Tell me you didn't.
223
00:11:42,485 --> 00:11:44,385
- I didn't.
- Yet.
224
00:11:44,487 --> 00:11:47,115
There's a pretty long wait list
for membership right now.
225
00:11:47,223 --> 00:11:49,555
Gob, you didn't sell, did you?
226
00:11:49,659 --> 00:11:54,255
What? No. I'm trying to get
a job from you, Mikey. Come on.
227
00:11:54,364 --> 00:11:57,060
Okay. As long as you two didn't sell,
I think we should be okay.
228
00:11:57,166 --> 00:11:59,396
- I was afraid that l-
- I just bought the Queen Mary.
229
00:11:59,502 --> 00:12:02,232
You're kidding.
I was just gonna get a yacht.
230
00:12:02,338 --> 00:12:06,240
No, no, no. The club. I was dancing with
what turned out to be the club's owner...
231
00:12:06,342 --> 00:12:09,334
and he was looking to sell.
232
00:12:09,445 --> 00:12:12,005
Oh, he really, really
did look like a woman.
233
00:12:12,115 --> 00:12:15,414
But anyhoo, can you believe that
the only reason the club is going under...
234
00:12:15,518 --> 00:12:17,577
is because it's
in a terrifying neighborhood?
235
00:12:17,687 --> 00:12:20,349
- This is unbelievable.
- Tobias, I promised that money
to the country club.
236
00:12:20,456 --> 00:12:23,914
- Country club?
- It's in such a good neighborhood.
237
00:12:24,027 --> 00:12:26,188
I don't believe this.
Did you guys not read the letter?
238
00:12:26,296 --> 00:12:29,595
None of them
had read past the word "unfrozen."
239
00:12:29,699 --> 00:12:31,690
I hope you're all proud of yourselves.
240
00:12:31,801 --> 00:12:35,168
Your careless, selfish spending sprees
may have cost us the Bluth Company.
241
00:12:35,271 --> 00:12:37,171
Hey, Dad, is that
your new car in the driveway?
242
00:12:37,273 --> 00:12:40,208
I can't believe you got a Corvette!
243
00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:42,972
It's a company car.
244
00:12:46,116 --> 00:12:48,607
Michael had bought a car...
245
00:12:48,718 --> 00:12:50,948
and it had helped
put the company in jeopardy.
246
00:12:51,054 --> 00:12:54,820
I'm sorry about the patch. I'm testifying
against the Kings this afternoon.
247
00:12:54,924 --> 00:12:57,324
You can't see it. I just winked.
248
00:12:57,427 --> 00:13:01,557
So basically, you're
about 2,000 shares short...
249
00:13:01,664 --> 00:13:04,132
of being the majority stockholders.
250
00:13:04,234 --> 00:13:06,634
Now unfortunately, it's a private stock...
251
00:13:06,736 --> 00:13:10,467
so you cannotjust buy up the shares
unless someone is willing to sell.
252
00:13:10,573 --> 00:13:13,235
- Are you sure?
- That's what they said on AskJeeves.
253
00:13:13,343 --> 00:13:16,835
- All right, who's the majority shareholder now?
- A company called Standpoor.
254
00:13:16,946 --> 00:13:21,042
- Standpoor?
- As in the opposite of Sitwell...
255
00:13:21,151 --> 00:13:23,551
which is run by a certain
hairless man...
256
00:13:23,653 --> 00:13:25,883
who could be very upset
with you right now.
257
00:13:25,989 --> 00:13:28,184
What would he have to be upset
with me about?
258
00:13:28,291 --> 00:13:32,159
- You're wearing his eyebrows?
- They make me feel dressier.
259
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:37,298
- Hello?
- Is it true, Michael? Did we lose the company?
260
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,200
Kind of. To something called
Standpoor. Yeah, it's Sitwell.
261
00:13:41,304 --> 00:13:44,740
- It's Lucille Austero.
- Lucille 2?
262
00:13:44,841 --> 00:13:48,368
Standpoor, because she can't
stand up without falling over.
263
00:13:48,478 --> 00:13:52,039
I don't know why she'd have any trouble.
A piano could stand on those legs.
264
00:13:52,148 --> 00:13:54,708
She's trying to get even
with me for the remodeling.
265
00:13:54,817 --> 00:13:58,253
I think we're gonna need
a new floating thermometer.
266
00:13:58,354 --> 00:14:00,686
Could I have your-
your Blue Cross number?
267
00:14:00,790 --> 00:14:05,284
Well, let's think about this, Mom. I mean,
maybe there's a way that we can reason with her-
268
00:14:05,395 --> 00:14:07,295
- Give her Buster.
- What?
269
00:14:07,397 --> 00:14:10,525
- We need our company back.
- Mom, that's horrible.
270
00:14:10,633 --> 00:14:14,034
I don't suppose you've spent money
on something you can return?
271
00:14:14,137 --> 00:14:15,968
- Sweet ride, dude.
- Let's give her Buster.
272
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,140
Starla, do you know
where my brother is?
273
00:14:19,242 --> 00:14:21,870
Yes, he's on cloud nine.
That was me, Michael.
274
00:14:21,978 --> 00:14:24,105
What's going on?
Where's Starla?
275
00:14:24,214 --> 00:14:26,580
Oh, she's saying good-bye
to someone named Q.
276
00:14:26,683 --> 00:14:29,719
If she can get past his security system,
she's gonna tell him it's over.
277
00:14:29,719 --> 00:14:30,481
If she can get past his security system,
she's gonna tell him it's over.
278
00:14:30,587 --> 00:14:32,578
She's amazing.
279
00:14:32,689 --> 00:14:36,489
We completely connected.
And it's all because of you.
280
00:14:36,593 --> 00:14:39,426
You made this happen.
281
00:14:39,529 --> 00:14:41,429
I feel alive!
282
00:14:41,531 --> 00:14:44,659
Indeed,
Starla and Buster did hit it off well-
283
00:14:44,767 --> 00:14:48,897
Buster being a sweeter, more supportive
man than she was used to...
284
00:14:49,005 --> 00:14:51,735
and Starla being a woman
that wasn't 70.
285
00:14:51,841 --> 00:14:56,744
I'm just wondering if you
didn't upgrade a little too fast.
286
00:14:56,846 --> 00:15:01,249
You know, you want something sensible, you
end up getting pushed into something flashy.
287
00:15:01,351 --> 00:15:03,114
What does that mean?
288
00:15:03,219 --> 00:15:05,585
Don't you think
you belong in a Lucille?
289
00:15:11,894 --> 00:15:14,419
Maeby, meanwhile,
gave reading her script another shot...
290
00:15:14,530 --> 00:15:17,795
only to discover her work was done.
291
00:15:17,900 --> 00:15:20,266
Her scripts had been noted.
292
00:15:20,370 --> 00:15:23,066
So she went to find the person
she thought was responsible.
293
00:15:23,172 --> 00:15:25,606
George Michael,
I read your notes.
294
00:15:25,708 --> 00:15:28,768
What? You-
Oh, you found the-
295
00:15:28,878 --> 00:15:31,176
- Well, look, I don't-That was a long-
- They were great.
296
00:15:31,281 --> 00:15:35,217
I mean, they said so many things I wanted
to say, but I didn't know how, you know?
297
00:15:35,318 --> 00:15:37,286
Don't tell anyone, okay?
298
00:15:37,387 --> 00:15:39,947
Never.
299
00:15:43,559 --> 00:15:45,686
I guess she didn't see the drawings.
300
00:15:45,795 --> 00:15:49,231
Meanwhile, Tobias prepared
to assume ownership of the Queen Mary.
301
00:15:49,332 --> 00:15:52,631
No, no. It's supposed to say
"Tobias's Queen Mary."
302
00:15:52,735 --> 00:15:56,796
No, that is not what it says.
I distinct- Hello?
303
00:15:58,241 --> 00:16:00,539
Well, I suppose I could just
paint over "Mary."
304
00:16:00,643 --> 00:16:03,134
Don't bother, man.
This is our club now.
305
00:16:07,583 --> 00:16:11,713
Tobias didn't want to sell
his new club, but Lindsay did.
306
00:16:11,821 --> 00:16:15,985
Which is why she hired several members
of a local stripper agency...
307
00:16:16,092 --> 00:16:18,890
called the Hot Cops
to pose as the roughnecks.
308
00:16:18,995 --> 00:16:22,158
All right, fellas, look. I know you know
nothing but a life on the street...
309
00:16:22,265 --> 00:16:25,166
but I'd like to offer you something
that the Queen Mary gave me.
310
00:16:25,268 --> 00:16:27,202
The joy of the stage.
311
00:16:27,303 --> 00:16:30,329
So maybe you could, uh,
start jeté-ing...
312
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,841
and stop "je-terrorizing" me.
313
00:16:33,943 --> 00:16:36,776
- Yeah!
- Absolutely!
314
00:16:36,879 --> 00:16:39,507
- We could do Rent.
- Well, this is joyous news.
315
00:16:39,615 --> 00:16:42,607
And Buster,
now convinced that Lucille 2...
316
00:16:42,719 --> 00:16:46,348
was the right woman for him,
broke up with Starla.
317
00:16:47,890 --> 00:16:49,790
You okay?
318
00:16:49,892 --> 00:16:52,190
It was for the best anyway.
319
00:16:52,295 --> 00:16:56,231
A girl like that deserves to be taken
care of, and I'm just a poor soldier.
320
00:16:56,332 --> 00:16:58,857
You didn't sell your stock?
321
00:16:58,968 --> 00:17:01,903
What? No. Your letter said not to...
322
00:17:02,004 --> 00:17:04,268
and I would never
want to hurt the family.
323
00:17:04,374 --> 00:17:06,842
And Michael realized his little brother...
324
00:17:06,943 --> 00:17:09,070
deserved happiness more than anyone.
325
00:17:09,178 --> 00:17:11,942
You know, uh, I want you
to forget about what I said.
326
00:17:12,048 --> 00:17:13,948
I was wrong.
You two belong together.
327
00:17:14,050 --> 00:17:16,109
I'll take care of Lucille 2 for you.
328
00:17:16,219 --> 00:17:18,210
- Really?
- Yeah.
329
00:17:18,321 --> 00:17:22,724
Let her down easy. That right knee
could go at any time.
330
00:17:22,825 --> 00:17:25,225
Starla!
331
00:17:25,328 --> 00:17:28,229
And at the "Tobias is Queen Mary"...
332
00:17:28,331 --> 00:17:30,993
Tobias couldn't believe
how quickly he had gotten through...
333
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:35,560
to his ragtag gang of neighborhood toughs.
334
00:17:35,671 --> 00:17:39,573
Wow. You really have made
some amazing strides in a half an hour.
335
00:17:39,675 --> 00:17:41,734
We have to take this to the streets.
336
00:17:41,844 --> 00:17:44,244
We have to strut!
337
00:17:44,347 --> 00:17:46,406
Michael knew ifhe had any chance...
338
00:17:46,516 --> 00:17:48,848
of getting control of the company again...
339
00:17:48,951 --> 00:17:51,010
- he would need to charm Lucille 2.
- Lucille 2.
340
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:53,281
- Your hair!
- Can I take you for a spin?
341
00:17:53,389 --> 00:17:57,348
But the spin in Michael's
new car retriggered her vertigo.
342
00:17:57,460 --> 00:18:01,590
That night, Tobias's plan
to change the streets with his gang...
343
00:18:01,697 --> 00:18:04,291
also turned out to be ill-conceived.
344
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,631
Hey, "fezellas,"looks like
you guys are up to no good.
345
00:18:07,737 --> 00:18:12,436
Well, this gang used to be
like that too- three, four!
346
00:18:12,542 --> 00:18:15,443
So you think you're tough
Well, we hate rappin'
347
00:18:15,545 --> 00:18:18,013
But don't bust a cap in
'Cause here's what's happenin'
348
00:18:18,114 --> 00:18:21,277
We're breakin'out
some old-fashioned tappin'
349
00:18:23,419 --> 00:18:25,319
Oh, I've been shot!
350
00:18:25,421 --> 00:18:28,788
- We miscalculated! Retreat!
- Quick, switch to Follies!
351
00:18:28,891 --> 00:18:31,223
That's not gonna help!
352
00:18:31,327 --> 00:18:35,661
Meanwhile, Michael and
Lucille 2 arrived to find the club nearly empty.
353
00:18:35,765 --> 00:18:37,824
Although Michael
would have fit in perfectly.
354
00:18:37,934 --> 00:18:40,869
Something? It's probably-
I'll tell you what, Lucille.
355
00:18:40,970 --> 00:18:43,768
- I'm gonna take you dancing, huh?
- No, Michael, please.
356
00:18:43,873 --> 00:18:46,808
You have undone all
of Dr. Sandor Plumb's work.
357
00:18:46,909 --> 00:18:51,312
Oh, I'm sorry. Look, the reason
that I showed up tonight...
358
00:18:51,414 --> 00:18:55,407
was because I don't think that it's right
for you to be dating my brother.
359
00:18:55,518 --> 00:18:58,180
I mean, he's met someone else,
and, frankly...
360
00:18:58,287 --> 00:19:00,380
the only reason that
he asked you out tonight...
361
00:19:00,490 --> 00:19:03,755
was because I wanted him to get
the stock back from you...
362
00:19:03,860 --> 00:19:06,351
so that I could regain
control of the company.
363
00:19:06,462 --> 00:19:09,863
But I would- I'd rather
have my brother back.
364
00:19:09,966 --> 00:19:12,662
So- I'm sorry.
365
00:19:12,768 --> 00:19:14,861
- I understand.
- Thank you.
366
00:19:14,971 --> 00:19:19,533
And I do not blame you for
not liking the Bluths anymore.
367
00:19:19,642 --> 00:19:22,440
Like the Bluths?
I love the Bluths.
368
00:19:22,545 --> 00:19:26,345
- Why did you buy up all of our company stock?
- To support you guys.
369
00:19:26,449 --> 00:19:32,183
I have always had a standing order
to buy up any available Bluth stock.
370
00:19:32,288 --> 00:19:35,951
You do know that we're about 2,000 shares
short of controlling the company now.
371
00:19:36,058 --> 00:19:39,221
- Well, you could have some of mine.
- Really? Would you do that?
372
00:19:39,328 --> 00:19:42,058
- Yeah, of course.
- Well, that's-Thank you.
373
00:19:42,164 --> 00:19:44,462
- Actually, there is a condition.
- Anything.
374
00:19:44,567 --> 00:19:49,231
- Call me a cab.
- Ah, because of my driving. Yes.
375
00:19:49,338 --> 00:19:51,397
And so the next day...
376
00:19:51,507 --> 00:19:54,271
Michael was thrilled to have
control of the company back.
377
00:19:54,377 --> 00:19:56,345
- I fixed everything.
- Oh?
378
00:19:56,445 --> 00:19:59,437
With the business.
It's all taken care of.
379
00:19:59,549 --> 00:20:03,144
- You didn't think I could, but I did.
- Gob, what'd you do?
380
00:20:03,252 --> 00:20:07,382
Hi.
- Gob had run into Lucille 2
after Michael dropped her off.
381
00:20:07,490 --> 00:20:09,549
My mom really took up
a bunch of your space, huh?
382
00:20:09,659 --> 00:20:12,219
- What a bitch.
- What do you mean?
383
00:20:12,328 --> 00:20:15,161
When she expanded her bathroom
and moved your wall over.
384
00:20:15,264 --> 00:20:18,062
That's why all your stuff s
sticking out.
385
00:20:18,167 --> 00:20:20,567
Oh.
386
00:20:20,670 --> 00:20:26,074
Your mother really has a way of getting my goat.
387
00:20:26,175 --> 00:20:28,143
So Gob- Lucille 2.
388
00:20:28,244 --> 00:20:32,112
- You what?
- Oh, and she's not gonna give
the shares back now.
389
00:20:32,214 --> 00:20:35,411
- You just said that you fixed everything.
- Oh, I meant my problems.
390
00:20:35,518 --> 00:20:38,078
Yeah, she's gonna make me
the new president.
391
00:20:39,622 --> 00:20:43,854
You don't need to prove
yourself to me, little brother.
392
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,758
You will always have a job here.
393
00:20:46,862 --> 00:20:49,490
But I do need the keys
to the company car.
394
00:20:51,300 --> 00:20:54,861
On the next Arrested Development-
395
00:20:54,971 --> 00:20:57,906
Lucille 2 reclaims some space.
396
00:20:59,875 --> 00:21:02,810
The Queen Mary
changes hands once again.
397
00:21:02,912 --> 00:21:06,814
L-I've wanted a small family restaurant
since I got the Kings settlement.
398
00:21:06,916 --> 00:21:09,146
It still has the dungeon area, right?
399
00:21:09,251 --> 00:21:11,583
And Gob gets needy.
400
00:21:11,687 --> 00:21:13,917
- Oh.
- Let's go for it.
