Narrator: With Michael's movie in jeopardy over the rights, he decided to call in a favor.
Michael: You know, we're making a movie about the family, and I thought, "I wonder if Carl Weathers would be willing to help me out."
Carl Weathers: Let me ask you this right up front.
Michael: Okay.
Carl Weathers: Do you think anybody would be upset if one of these Crinch dolls took a walk?
Michael: No, no, help yourself. I know what you're thinking. "What part would I play in this?"
Carl Weathers: I figured you'd want me to play me.
Michael: Well, I didn't want to waste you on you. In fact, I wasn't even going to talk to you about acting, but if you are game, boy, that would be great. Let's circle back to that. There's a television show, was it, that you made about my family.
Narrator: Michael was referring to the George Bluth Sr. episode of a horribly narrated crime reenactment series called Scandalmakers that Carl had directed years earlier.
Michael: Did you retain the rights to my father's story?
Carl Weathers: No, man, rights cost money. I never bothered with that stuff. I figure you go ahead, you shoot it. Better to ask for forgiveness than beg for permission.
Narrator: As it turned out, Carl had never bothered to get either, which is why he made himself the subject of the final episode of the series.
