Michael Quote #318
George Sr.: So why don't we just let him express himself. Go ahead, son.
Michael: Um, I was going to say that you don't know who my father really is and that what has happened to us is a great injustice, that we were never really given a fair chance. But that's not the truth. We've been given plenty of chances. And maybe the Bluths just aren't worth saving. Maybe we're not that likable, you know. We're very self-centered. And my father may be the worst of us. Me, too. You know, I seem to I threaten people who I don't feel support me. He poisons them. Anyway, here's my advice to you. Go ahead and take yourself a goody bag and get out of here while you can.
Narrator: The speech was disturbing, the food inedible and the gift bags pretty frightening. And when Gob realized he wouldn't get tipped...
Gob: Wait, no, no! Where's everyone going?
Narrator: ...the service got a little worse.
Gob: No one's leaving until I get my money! I'll follow you to your cars!
Narrator: Oh, and then that old racist woman choked on Buster's thumb.
Buster: My thumb!
Narrator: All in all, it was one of the Bluth's better dinner parties.

Quote from Tobias

Quote from Michael
George Sr.: [on the phone] Instead of us all selling out and becoming housewives and waiters, why don't we have a big event? Some sort of "save our Bluths" type thing. We'll throw a legal defense fund dinner. Ask for donations.
Lucille: As long as we don't look desperate. We want them to think we'll take their help, but we don't need it. I should be seen a lot at the club.
Michael: Yeah, our backs are against the wall, it's just hard to accept that it's really come to begging.
George Sr.: Some times it's the only way to stay in the game.
Narrator: Please tell your friends about this show.
