Tobias Quote #9
Quote from Tobias in Bringing Up Buster
Tobias: Michael, if I could stick my pretty little nose in here for one second. When I was a psychiatrist and this is before I became an actor-
Lindsay: You're still not an actor.
Tobias: Lovely. I saw a lot of this type of behavior and I think what you're experiencing is your son's very normal need to distance himself from his overbearing father. Am I touching something? Hot! Hot, hot. Hot.
Michael: Be careful.
Tobias: Hot.
Michael: You all right?
Tobias: Hot. [sighs] Now, take my daughter, for example. She lives her life and I get the pleasure of guessing what that might entail. Now watch this. Maeby, where are you off to on this glorious Sunday afternoon? [quietly] She won't tell me.
Maeby: I'm going to audition for a play.
Tobias: Well, that time it didn't work. What play?
Maeby: It's for high school. You can't audition.
Tobias: I was totally wrong. She's reaching out to her actor daddy. Does anyone have an ice pack?

Quote from Buster
Gob: She always makes everything about her.
Lindsay: Ugh, she's the last person I ever want to need something from.
Michael: Well, she likes to be needed, just as long as it doesn't cost her anything.
Buster: It's like she gets off on being withholding.
Michael: Whoa, Buster.
Gob: Look who's got something to say.

Quote from George Sr.
George Sr.: Let him go. Let your son go.
Michael: I can't do that, Dad. He needs me.
George Sr.: Michael, you don't want to make the same mistake your mom made with Buster.
Michael: Yeah, boy. What happened there?
George Sr.: I really don't know. Maybe it was the 11 months he spent in the womb. The doctor said there were claw marks on the walls of her uterus, but... He was our miracle baby, you know? And l-I was just too burned out on raising you guys to care. So, he turned out a little, uh, soft. [Buster yawns] A little doughy. [Buster yawns more loudly] I don't know. Maybe- Maybe it was my fault. Maybe I just ignored the guy.
Buster: Wow. We're just blowing through nap time, aren't we?
Michael: Yeah, I gotta let my son go.
Quote from Buster
Narrator: Back at the model home, Michael was adjusting to the absence of his son, by enjoying the company of his brother.
Michael: You know, I'm in pretty good shape. You could be eating my dust all day, slowpoke.
Narrator: And Buster was starting to give as good as he got.
Buster: Yeah. And you might be eating... [bleep] [bleeping continues]
Michael: Well, let's hope it doesn't come to that.
