Michael tries to keep Rita (Charlize Theron) from meeting his family. Meanwhile, the family takes on a new attorney, Bob Loblaw (Scott Baio).

Quote from George Michael

Narrator: George Michael also didn't know what to do. If he pointed out that the two were cousins to drive them apart, he might be burning the very bridge that he one day hoped to cross.
Steve Holt: George Michael, I'm doing your cousin tonight.
George Michael: So are you.
Steve Holt: What?
George Michael: She's your cousin, too.

Quote from George Sr.

George Sr.: You know, we need some weather balloons for this party and maybe a tank of hydrogen. [car alarm sounds] You know, really float those suckers.

Quote from Buster

Lucille: Stop her, Buster.
Buster: What am I supposed to do?
Lucille: Stop her!
Buster: Stop yelling at me!
Rita: I'm leaving!
Narrator: And that's when Buster noticed the seal on Rita's backpack.
[Buster knocks Rita out with his artificial hand]
Tobias: Hey, talk about cathartic. Now that's an act break.

Quote from Lucille

Narrator: Buster had overcome his fear of seals. Unfortunately, he'd done so by knocking out Michael's new girlfriend.
Lucille: What the hell did you do?
Buster: You curious, Mom? I can show you.
Lucille: You made a mistake. You're human, except for the hand.

Quote from Narrator

Rita: Michael?
Narrator: Everyone froze. Michael feared he'd been caught in a lie about his family. His family feared they'd been caught by a woman they clubbed, drugged and left on a bench. It was awkward.

Quote from Buster

Buster: Mother! Mother! This is from the army. I have to report for duty tomorrow. It says by accepting this medal, I was reenlisting.
Lucille: I didn't hear them say that.
Narrator: Perhaps if the sergeant had spoken more slowly she would have.
[flashback:]
Army Sergeant: In acceptance of this medal, you proudly waive all rights to private citizenship and hereby reenlist in the armed services of the Unites States of America. If you agree with is, say thank you.
Buster: [slowly] Thank you.

Quote from Gob

Lucille: And her, too good for us?Huh! Buster, you should have finished the job.
Michael: Job? What job?
Lucille: Did I say job? I meant Gob.
Gob: Buster's the one that hit her! I just gave her the roofie.
Michael: Roofie?
Gob: Forget-Me-Now.
Michael: You beat and drugged Rita?
Gob: Take this and love us again.

Quote from Buster

Lucille: Well, no good deed goes unpunished.
Tobias: Oh, look, it's not all bad. I-I got Buster feeling better about his medal.
Buster: Not anymore. I'm getting rid of this thing. It has caused me nothing but pride and self-respect!
Narrator: Buster went to get rid of the medal he finally felt he deserved, but it was exactly when George Sr.
was making his escape.
George Sr.: Farewell to you all!
Narrator: But it turns out that hydrogen is more explosive than helium.

Quote from Michael

Narrator: And Michael tried to salvage the remains of the files from the car fire.
Lindsay: You call the attorney?
Michael: Yeah, I sure did, but he's not taking our calls because apparently the retainer all used up.
Lindsay: He took my call. He's very good.
Michael: Yeah, that's how the retainer got eaten up, okay? The secretary took it all down here on the transcript.
Lindsay: She's very good, too.
Michael: I'm not paying for this.
Lindsay: Well, what am supposed to do?
Michael: I don't know, Lindsay. The thing you say on page seven looks like it could be worth some money.

Quote from Gob

Gob: What you need to do is go to her and ask for another chance. She'd be lucky to have you, Michael.
Michael: Thanks, Gob. Sometimes you do surprise me.
Gob: I've got one more surprise for you. [sings as Franklin] It ain't easy being whi-
