Gob plans a biblical magic trick after inadvertently proposing to Ann Veal.

Quote from Gob

Michael: Is this an escape act? Are you running again?
Gob: What do you want from me? Marriage is a lot of pressure, and she's not into it. Meanwhile, I'm working out like crazy, my diet has become insane, and this Jesus character I mean, he was shredded. Meanwhile, we have sex one time, and then she's just, you know, over it. Lets herself go. Her stomach's out to here.
Michael: You know, your whole life is an escape act, and this girl seems like she really likes you. Why don't you just try to work it out and just stop running... Yeah, I know you're in the boulder.
Gob: [o.s.] But how'd I get in the boulder?

Quote from Narrator

Narrator: But it was Betty from And As it Is Such, So Also As Such Is it Unto You that would render Gob's escape act a disaster.
Delivery Driver: You got to get rid of this thing. I got Mrs. Murray's trailer here.
Betty: I guess if he comes back from the dead, we could just get a stepladder. Guys, this, too.
Narrator: And a hoarse, weakened Gob was unable to stop them as the boulder was shipped to a storage unit in Tustin. Although a keen eye could see that Gob was alive but not well. And that's why this particular chair was empty at the trial of Lucille Bluth.

Quote from Narrator

Tobias: The dead will walk amongst us. No, he shan't, for he ith not here.
Ann: I knew it.
Tobias: Oh, there's a note. "If I have not yet returned, I am in the Rapture." Oh, and then it says, "Love each other".
Woman: What does he think we've been doing?
Man: I loaned him $1,000.
Narrator: Gob didn't fare much better than the bride, finally being discovered on an episode of the auction reality show, Locker Hawkers.

Quote from Gob

Ann: I'm leaving you, Gob. I don't love you anymore. I feel sorry for you, and you're gonna be alone forever unless you let the Holy Ghost inside you.
Gob: [laughs] The Holy- [stammers]
Ann: You know what? I hope you read this.
Narrator: And maybe it was the fact that he had nothing in his system but two weeks of candy vines, but it did get through to him.
Gob: [on the phone] Steve. It's me. Uh, I wanted to let you know that I'm, I'm ready to- to- to... let the son of Gob enfold me. Have you been to the club And, owned by Jeremy "Pivan"? I'm gonna be there tonight about 8:00. Maybe you could join me, I don't... Obviously it's me, your fa- Nah, he got it.

Quote from Gob

Steve Holt: I mean, I'm in pest control, but father and son. What a great team.
Gob: It would be a great team. I mean, I don't care. Pest control... I don't know. As long as I'm not being a pest to you, right?
Steve Holt: No, never.
Gob: I mean, I'm kidding. Where is your place of business?
Steve Holt: 181-
Gob: [repeats to bartender] 181
Steve Holt: Manville.
Gob: Manville.
Steve Holt: Manville.
Gob: What time do you start this pest control?
Steve Holt: 7 a.m.
Gob: Then I'll be there at 6:45 with two cups of coffee.
Steve Holt: Oh, Dad, this is the greatest day of my life.

Quote from Gob

Narrator: Gob actually did end up driving down Manville at 6:45 a.m.
Gob: I'll be with you in a second, I'll be right there. Start without me, just start without me. Do it!
Steve Holt: He's not coming back.

Quote from Narrator

Narrator: Gob was living the dream, and felt like he was in the center of the entourage, even though he was three away from the center at the closest, and it was pop star Mark Cherry's dream.

Quote from Narrator

Narrator: Nonetheless, later that evening, Gob arrived early at the Opies, an award show that honored youth in Hollywood, to make sure that Mark Cherry would be well taken care of.
Gob: Where's the coconut shrimp?
Narrator: ...before his scheduled performance.
Gob: Hey, come on, my guys love coconut shrimp, especially if they can get it with a little bit of club...

Quote from Gob

Narrator: And that's when Gob found out that Mark Cherry had checked into rehab.
Gob: [on the phone] Well, come on, you guys, I mean, it's just... A little alcohol poisoning never killed anyone.
Narrator: Actually, alcohol poisoning is responsible for over 4,000 deaths a year.
Rebel: [on P.S.A.] Binge drinking, not cool.
