Quote from Michael

Narrator: So Michael went to speak with Marta about the misunderstanding from the night before.
Michael: I owe you an apology.
Marta: No, I owe you an apology. I'm so ashamed that I was so disrespectful to your brother.
Michael: Oh, who cares? Nobody respects him.

Quote from Michael

Marta: It doesn't matter. We live by a code, you and I, to honor family.
Michael: Yes. That's one of the things that attracted me to you, your sense of right and wrong. I also like your hair and your face and your breasts.
Marta: You're so unlike your brother.
Michael: Oh, thank you.
Marta: Gob is like the cock of the walk. But not you.
Michael: You are so kind.
Marta: You're sensitive, like a woman.
Michael: That's enough.
We do have to do the right thing.
Marta: And being together is the wrong thing.
Michael: Very, very... wrong. [kisses Marta]

Quote from George Michael

Narrator: So he set about doing some investigating on his own.
George Michael: Hey, have you ever seen any pictures of your mom pregnant?
Maeby: Don't talk to me about my mom. She's crazy. Both of them are. Sometimes I wish we weren't even related.
George Michael: Hey, you know, maybe we're not. Because, I mean, when you think about it, we don't even really look like each other.
Maeby: No, I was talking about my parents. God, what's wrong with this family? [exits]
George Michael: Maybe we're not a family. And maybe that's very, very right.

Quote from Buster

Buster: Uh, so, are you gonna hit me?
Gob: No, I'm not gonna hit you. You're not the brother Marta's cheating on me with.
Buster: Oh. Oh, who is?
Gob: How the hell should I know, Buster?
Buster: You know, there is a guy who plays her older brother on her show. I think his name is Tio.
Gob: Tio. Well, sounds like someone who you think's name is Tio is about to get his ass kicked. Thanks for the tip, Buster.

Quote from Buster

Michael: Where's Gob?
Gob: I think he's heading down to the set of Marta's soap opera.
Michael: What?
Gob: She may be cheating on him with the guy who plays her brother. I mean, I still like her, but we're gonna have to deal with this.
Michael: I gotta go stop him.
Buster: And I've got a blue sweater to steam.

Quote from Gob

Narrator: Gob, meanwhile, had finally shown up at the El Amor Prohibido set.
Gob: Hey, guy. They tell me you're the actor who plays Marta's brother, Tio?
Javier: Como?
Gob: Oh, you're gonna be in a coma, all right.
Narrator: Unfortunately, the actor who played Tio had also starred in a Mexican film about the life of Oscar De La Hoya.

Quote from Gob

Michael: Gob. Hey, hey. You all right?
Gob: Where am I? Am I in two-thirds of a hospital room?
Michael: Yeah, listen, um... It's me. I'm the guy that she likes. "Hermano" is brother. Me.
Gob: Well, if I'd known it was you, I wouldn't have minded.
Michael: You wouldn't?
Gob: Michael, you're a great guy. If you liked her, I would have said, "Go for it."
Michael: I do kind of like her.
Gob: Go for it.

Quote from Buster

Gob: You were serious? 'Cause I got news for you, pal. Marta's been interested in Michael. That's right dull, nothing-going-on-upstairs... Michael.
Buster: Yeah, I know. I saw them making out at her front door.
Gob: What? When?
Buster: Just now.
Gob: Huh!
Buster: The stuff I've got to work out with Marta just keeps piling up.

Quote from Buster

Marta: What is wrong with you? I thought you were good people. I thought you were noble. I thought you cared about family, but you clearly don't. I-It's over. Both of you. It's over.
Buster: Wait, wait. What about, what about me?
Marta: I'm sorry. I'm not totally sure who you are.
Buster: Wow! Wow. That's what it feels like to get punched in the face.

Quote from Buster

Michael: [to Gob] And by the way, I don't know how you call her your woman when she clearly prefers me, and she was all prepared to be my girlfriend calling me her boyfriend-
Buster: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Gob: Hey! Hang on one second.
Buster: First of all, this is all moot, because she never got a chance to know me. Now, will someone please have the decency to punch me in the face?
[As Michael goes to punch Buster in the face, he screams and balls up on the ground]
Michael: Well, it's effective.
Gob: Yeah, it really is.
