With George Sr. cleared of all charges, Michael is determined to make an honest go of it as he's finally named CEO of the Bluth Company.

Quote from Michael

Michael: Let's see if we are on Mad Money, huh?
Woman: [on TV] And they deliver insulin right to my door!
Michael: It's probably on right after this ad. This is going to be great for us, too. It's going to give us a chance to spend some time together, you know? It's like I don't even know what's going on in your life right now. Are there any girls or...?
George Michael: Actually I've been wrestling with some pretty taboo-
Michael: Shh-shh. Here it is!
Jim Cramer: [on TV] They beat the treason charges! We had it as a "Don't buy." Let's bump it up to a "Risky!"
Michael: Risky! There it is!

Quote from Michael

Narrator: And the two grand ladies made their escape together.
Police Officer: Lucille Bluth, please pull over and step away from the historic ship.
Michael: I think Gangie's trying to make a break for it.
George Michael: Well, I guess we should go back. Family sticks together, huh?
Michael: Yeah. On the other hand, we do have a full tank of gas, a house in Cabo, and 500 grand in cashier's checks. What say we give them no choice but to keep themselves all together for a while?

Quote from Narrator

Narrator: It was Arrested Development. On the epilogue, Michael wakes up to another strange bedfellow after his first night at sea.
George Sr.: How was the party?
Narrator: And Maeby pitches her TV show to a Hollywood icon who says...
Ron Howard: No, I, uh... I don't see it as a series. Maybe a movie.

Quote from George Michael

Michael: It sounds like a lot more than it actually is. You know, you've already spent $1,200 on eggs. And that would be it forever. Keep in mind, we are building something that is not only for our own kids; it's also for George Michael and Maeby's kids, too.
George Michael: What? What? We can't have kids! What are you? I mean, it's not even an option, really. [chuckles]
Michael: Well, eventually, you'll want to.
George Michael: Sure, I may want to, you know, now. I-It doesn't matter. Either way, I won't do anything about it. Come on!

Quote from Buster

Lindsay: It's fine for you to say "Don't sell," but I'm going to be 40 in three years, you know?
Michael: You know, being twins, our birthdays are pretty close to one another.
Lindsay: Yeah, but a 40-year-old woman has as much a chance of getting married as she does of getting attacked by a shark.
Buster: [screams] Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were going to say "seal."
Lindsay: Or a seal.
Buster: Oh, God!

Quote from Gob

Michael: Gob, you're going to burn through this money and have nothing, all right? "You give a man a fish, he'll eat for a night. If you teach a man to fish..."
Gob: He'll want to use your yacht, and I don't want this thing smelling like fish. I'm burning through my future for it.

Quote from Lucille

Lucille: [on the phone] Well, you can't let Gob sell those shares.
Michael: Well, what am I supposed to do? He won't give up the yacht.
Lucille: So lease it to him through the company.
Michael: Yeah, that just doesn't feel right.
Lucille: Oh, really? How would it feel to lose the company to a man who has less hair on his [bleep] than I have on my [bleep]?
Michael: It can't be worse than hearing that just was.

Quote from Tobias

Tobias: I booked the perfect location and some wonderful performers for the party. We're having it at the Queen Mary.
Buster: [gasps] Queen Mary? That's a ship!
Tobias: Oh, no, no, no. It's a chain of popular nightclubs. Although I haven't been to this particular location. It's on the Long Beach Harbor.
Buster: That's the ship.
Michael: Buster, don't worry about it. They've actually welded it to the dock.
Tobias: Although, perhaps I should call the "Hot Cops" and tell them to come up with something more nautically themed. Hot Sailors. Better yet, Hot Seam-
Michael: I like Hot Sailors.
Tobias: Hmm. Me too.

Quote from George Michael

George Michael: Maeby and I made out.
Michael: I'm sorry?
George Michael: Me, too.
Michael: What-what do you mean, son? You kissed?
George Michael: Even a little more than that. I thought she wasn't my real cousin, but then Uncle Tobias showed us these really rough pictures that proved that she was really Aunt Lindsay's daughter. I just feel like I can't be around her. Or Aunt Lindsay. They were really rough pictures.
Michael: No, I remember their birth announcement like it was yesterday.
George Michael: I mean, I know it's wrong, you know, but, uh, my feelings are real even... Even if it was a mistake.
Michael: Well, obviously, acting on those feelings is not an option. She's a blood relative.
George Michael: I know. I've seen the blood.

Quote from George Michael

Narrator: Days earlier, Michael awoke to find his son in his bed.
Michael: Hey, are you scared of a monster?
George Michael: Kind of.
Narrator: It was the monster called lust, to which he'd recently succumbed.
George Michael: And there's a chance you might not even be related to us.
Narrator: And although he'd only gotten to second base, he'd gone in head-first like Pete Rose. And they both got some distressing news.
Tobias: And there you are, Maeby, coming out of your mother's third base. You guys really are related.
Narrator: And that night...
Maeby: You're not sleeping in here now.
George Michael: Yeah, you think that's a bad idea?
Maeby: What, I mean, so we can make out every night?
George Michael: Does that not work for your schedule? I mean, I'm sure we can control our... [Maeby kisses George Michael] You know I'm going to go sleep with my dad.
Maeby: Yeah, I'm going to go get my job back.
