‘It Gets Better’

Season 4, Episode 13 -  Aired May 26, 2013

As George Michael's confidence builds during his time in college, he and his roommate set out to develop an app.

Quote from Narrator

Narrator: And discouraged that he'd lost Maeby, he tried to salvage his night by taking a picture of Gibby from iCarly. As he was doing this, however, this happened. [people screaming] The explosion caused an electrical surge rendering the Schnoodle software inoperable. Which, to those who saw him, seemed like a genius act of cyber sabotage.

Quote from George Michael

Narrator: By the time George Michael returned to campus, even his roommate had heard of George Maharis' Fakeblock.
P-Hound: This George Maharis guy stole our name, but we have it registered, so we can sell it to him for a fortune.
George Michael: No, I am George Maharis! I'm behind the whole thing. I wanted to impress Maeby, so I told her that I created this privacy software.
P-Hound: Why would you do that?
George Michael: You know, it's like the time that you told that girl that you were George Takei's son.

Quote from George Michael

P-Hound: We gotta do something. At least get our five grand back.
George Michael: Well, I put in the five grand, you put in three dollars.
P-Hound: Well, you may have put in the most money to Fakeblock, but I put in the first three dollars, so that makes you a hop-on.
George Michael: No, you're the hop-on, Paul, and I know exactly who you're trying to hop on to. Maeby.
P-Hound: Maybe.

Quote from George Michael

Narrator: As a frustrated Andy Richter was having trouble getting into the club he was a member of.
Andy Richter: He looks just like me. I'll just go up, I'll find him, I'll- Come on. Hey, Donnie!
George Michael: Hey, I had you for a semester at Openings.
Andy Richter: Yeah, okay, all right. Hey, come on. I'm his guest.
Bouncer: Is this man your guest?
George Michael: No, no. I'm just meeting my dad here.
Andy Richter: Oh, screw this. I'm going up. Come on. Going up, going up. Oh, come on! Some Openings child you are, man!

Quote from George Michael

Rebel: George? George Maharis?
Narrator: And that's when he heard the name he'd forgotten he'd given out as his own. So he tried not to act surprised to hear it when he saw it was Rebel.
George Michael: I see you.
Narrator: Unfortunately, that meant being stuck affecting a blasé attitude.
Rebel: Rebel Alley? We spoke three days ago.
George Michael: I know, I know. I remember.
Rebel: Are you a member here?
George Michael: No, I'm not. No, I just walked in past the big Black security guard.
Narrator: All of which now worked against him.

Quote from George Michael

George Michael: Hey, I'm sorry. You know, I'm in the middle of a whole thing with my dad right now, and I didn't mean to be... However I just came off.
Rebel: Badly.
George Michael: Well, I'm sorry, you know. I've never met a beautiful actress before.
Rebel: So you do know who I am?
George Michael: God, of course I know who you are! You were in the remake of Dangerous Cousins. I signed up to Netflix because of that movie. I think I was just thrown that you were interested in who I am.
Rebel: Well, you are George Maharis. Everyone's talking about your software company. I'm sure women are just throwing themselves at your feet.
George Michael: Well, you know, I prefer a woman who aims higher.
Rebel: [laughs] That was funny.
George Michael: Yeah, I know. That was good. That was-
Both: Smooth.
George Michael: Hey, we have the same taste in words.

Quote from George Michael

Narrator: George Michael was thrown by what was clearly Rebel's stated interest in him.
Man: George Michael?
George Michael?
Narrator: Which is perhaps why he ignored the page...
Man: George Michael?
Narrator: that he assumed was from his father.
Man: Is George Michael here?
Rebel: Is George Michael here?
George Michael: Oh, God. Just remind me not to go in the men's room. [both laugh] Would you excuse me? I'm just gonna use the men's room.

Quote from Michael

Narrator: But before Michael could find Rebel, he ran into the man, that at that point...
Michael: Ron!
Narrator: ...he still thought was her lover.
Michael: No, no, it's Michael. Michael Bluth. Doing the film about my family and...
Ron Howard: Yeah, when are we gonna get your kid's signature, though?
Michael: Yeah, I'm working on it. And I got a hold of him. And we're gonna meet here tonight, but I think that he's blowing me off.
Ron Howard: Well, yeah, kids will be kids, right?
Michael: Well, you know, a month ago, I would have told you that he and I were exactly the same, that we were twins. But now, I wouldn't even think of my son as my brother. You know, the thing is... He's busy.
