Quote from Lucille

Tobias: Lucille! You are not the villain.
Lucille: I'm so tired of being the villain.
Tobias: Well, those days are over. What you are is the Invisible Girl. You make it impossible for people to see you in order to protect yourself.
Narrator: And somehow, in that moment, something changed for her.
Lucille: I do, do that.
Tobias: And in this way, you launch sneak attacks, and you create a force field to keep people away.
Lucille: Right! I'm not a villain. I'm the invisible girl!
Tobias: Yes, that's what I'm saying!
Lucille: Oh, you know, it's funny I never would have come to this if it hadn't been for Lucille 2's rehab. I need to pay her back for everything she's done to me. I'm going back to rehab. I just have to make one quick stop first.

Quote from Narrator

Narrator: Now the story of a family whose future was abruptly canceled and the one mother who had no choice but to keep herself together. It's Lucille's Arrested Development.

Quote from Lucille

Buster: Wait, where are you going? Wait, she doesn't have her I have her lipstick!
Narrator: But Buster knew that lipstick wasn't the only thing she'd be without. So, after she was released to await trial under house arrest, he made sure she was able to catch up on what she missed.
Lucille: Huh. This is the same scene I came back to after Cancún four years ago.

Quote from Lucille

Narrator: The judge kept Lucille on ice while she awaited the verdict.
Lucille: Have you heard anything?
Crab Shack Worker: Well, our cashier's pregnant, and she's not married, so...
Lucille: I mean about me.
Crab Shack Worker: Oh, you're guilty. Three to five.

Quote from Lucille

Narrator: Lucille was checking in to her new home.
L.I.T.E. Guard: Hello! Oh, Mrs. Bluth is here, for stealing the Queen Mary.
Narrator: It was one of the so-called country club prisons...
L.I.T.E. Guard: So, you are here.
Narrator: ...that had become popular after the Enron debacle.
L.I.T.E. Guard: So you're gonna take this hallway to the elevators and then you're gonna want to go-
Lucille: Slow down. You sound like the end of a Cymbalta commercial.
L.I.T.E. Guard: Even the lifers get confused. Don't worry.
Narrator: Even though it was a nice prison, it was still prison.
L.I.T.E. Guard:...your choice of fresh scent, sport, or floral for your delousing. Also, if you're sexually assaulted by a guard...
Lucille: A $20 gratuity is appreciated?
L.I.T.E. Guard: [chuckles] No, but press seven on your phone. If you go through the front desk, it'll take forever.

Quote from Lucille

George Sr.: Okay. I have another idea. Now, you know China Garden?
Lucille: I know the one by the harbor.
George Sr.: No, this one's a person. And that one closed. China Garden's aunt Olive is very well connected with the Jade Triad Gang. It's a prison gang here. And believe me, they will protect you.
Lucille: That's a gang? I thought they were tech support.
Narrator: It turned out they were a gang. And thanks to China Garden, Lucille was admitted as a probationary member.

Quote from Lucille

Mrs. Oh: You play mahjong before?
Lucille: Our beach club used to have a Jewish Day. Your move, Olive Garden.
Olive Garden: I can't concentrate. Playing mahjong without cigarette is like playing video poker without... cigarette.
Noh: Why are we not allowed to smoke in this stupid prison?
Narrator: And that's when Lucille made her move.
Lucille: I know a loophole.
Olive Garden: Ah? "Roop hore"?
Mrs. Oh: Roop hore.
Noh: Roop hore.
Narrator: It was a loophole that would get Lucille accepted as a full-fledged member of the Jade Dragon Triad.
Mrs. Oh: You couldn't have chosen a harder word to say.

Quote from Lucille

Lucille: Send me some evidence of a wall I can show the Chinese. And the government. We need to make this happen, George. The Chinese have more than a sharpened noodle with my name on it.

Quote from Gob

Narrator: And that's when Lucille noticed something worrisome. It seemed her prison family was preparing for her to disappear as well. So Lucille took matters into her own hands.
Gob: [answers phone] Well, that was fast, you hot little-
Lucille: It's your mother.
Gob: Hi, sorry, I thought you were somebody else. I can't tell you who 'cause I'm dating someone famous.
