Buster: Um, it was given to me, but I can't tell you by whom. But Dusty thinks we're better off just ignoring it.
Michael: Yeah, I think that's a bad idea. And I'm a little concerned about Dusty. His inexperience could hurt you. And, I'm sorry, I cannot let that happen. Not on my watch.
Buster: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I saw A Few Good Men, too. But Dusty's the real deal. Sorry, Michael. [altered voice] "Game recognizes game."
Michael: Mom is hiding something. She even asked Dusty to find some secret videotapes. You wouldn't have any idea where something like that would be, would you?
Buster: You don't have to save everyone, Michael.
Narrator: Michael knew there was only one way to get Buster to turn on his mother.
Michael: Okay. Don't tell me. Dusty sure won't. Not after Mom told him he could call her "Mother."
Buster: Oh, they went to the cottage. I'd check the cottage.

Lucille: What did he mean? He's not using you in his show, is he?
Buster: Yes, because I'm a good assistant, and unlike you, I know how to keep a secret. I can't believe you told Warden Gentles about our family secrets.
Lucille: Look, you wanted to get out for the parade, but I drank too much, okay? This is why you don't go to rehab. I lost all my tolerance. But I tried to fix it. That's why I wanted Michael to expose that I was to blame. How was I to know he'd point the finger at himself? But it worked.
Buster: Mother, I know the truth now. I always thought you pushed Mimi down the stairs, and you made me take the blame. I got it backwards. I pushed Mimi down the stairs. And you made me take the blame. That's the same. But I want to thank you for that. You were just trying to protect me. Can you imagine how weird I would have turned out if I thought I did it? [chuckles]
Lucille: I really can't.

Gob: And to help me do that, my assistant, direct from his mistrial, please welcome to the stage Byron Buster Bluth.
♫I'm free Free Free at last Free at last ♫
Gob: How does it feel to be accused of murder?
Buster: It was a lot of work, but I didn't do it! They found me not guilty.
Gob: Well, it was a mistrial, so they found you not not guilty.
Buster: There was no body. They will never find the body.
Lucille: Maybe I shouldn't have smoked during his pregnancy.
George Sr.: Well, to be fair, you- you hate to drink without a cigarette.
Buster: Speaking of magic, you ought to get on with yours.
Man: [o.s.] Murderer!
Buster: Not proven!
Gob: It didn't stick, asshole!

Tobias: They're here for their paychecks. But I'll settle for a bedroom with half bath.
Lucille: Nice try, but it wasn't exactly your idea to protest. It was your daughter's.
Tobias: Where is that rebel?
Narrator: She was celebrating with her cousin.
Buster: Wow. Someone thinks his cousin is his mom.

[On the next Arrested Development...]
Tobias: Hey, gang, does Buster's mannequin look like Judy Garland.
Lucille: Is it Lucille 2?
Lindsay: Why is she smiling?
Police Officer: This isn't a mannequin. This is... the happiest corpse I've ever seen.
Buster: [clicks tongue] Okay, I did it. So... But doesn't she remind you of Mom?

Jessie: Buster.
Buster: Right here. Ready to go. At your service. Get me out there.
Jessie: I want you to stay in. People find you odd and alienating. You make them uneasy. Stay out of the spotlight.
Buster: I shall be neither seen nor heard. Watch me.
Lucille: You can always tell a Milford man.

Narrator: And Buster went to his job as a dishwasher.
Buster: This is great. We're like slave buddies. [chuckles]
