George Michael Quote #147
Quote from George Michael in It Gets Better
Narrator: And after a brief reunion, George Michael had another opportunity to impress his cousin.
Michael: He's got this privacy software, keeps people from stealing your stuff. Tell her, pal.
Maeby: So it's privacy software that's also anti-piracy?
Narrator: George Michael weighed his options. Maeby had chastised him for not taking risks, and what would be a bigger risk than perpetuating a lie about software just to ignite the passions of a woman? Of course, it would be a lie, and since Maeby wouldn't know it was a lie, he wouldn't appear to be taking a risk. Perhaps the bigger risk was to tell his father he was lying. That he came up with it because he wanted his father to leave so he could enjoy what remained of his senior year. After all, he wondered, wouldn't that be the course of action taken by an overtly sexual man? A man who owns a pair of matador pants? He had not responded now for 41 seconds, according to his unfailing internal clock, and it was time to come clean.
Michael: Well, thanks. Yeah. It's just a Boolean-driven aggregation, really, of what programmers call "hacker traps."
Narrator: And he found himself suddenly and effortlessly tapping into a long-inbred instinct for lying. A Bluth taking his first steps in deceit. But the more he talked, the more he actually started to like the idea.
George Michael: So, when you have friends over, you know, you're listening to music and they want to steal your music and copy your movies or... Or just look at your photos, you know, this prevents that. It just neutralizes that so it's not even a threat anymore. It's called Fakeblock.
Michael: Great name. Right?
George Michael: Yeah, well, you know, it's super low-hanging fruit. Someone's going to do it. We're just trying to be those guys, you know?

Quote from Maeby
George Michael: You know, I think we might want to slow down a little bit on the whole Fakeblock thing 'cause I'm still not 100% finished with it.
Maeby: Well, how finished are you with it? 200%? 500%?
George Michael: I also feel like I'm not 100% finished with your math tutoring.
Quote from George Michael
Narrator: And George Michael slipped back into seduction mode.
George Michael: A man, a woman... A bedroom. Let's solve for X.
Maeby: I don't know what you're talking about.
George Michael: Well, you know, in algebra, you have an unknown element, and we call it X, and then you have to solve for it to find out what number X is.
Maeby: X isn't a number.
George Michael: So you don't even really know the basic...
Narrator: But in that moment, the urge to educate her was more powerful than the urge to kiss her.
George Michael: ...stuff real quick. All right, so if you take something like this, 3x+1=10.
Narrator: And with the algebra lesson complete, George Michael pivoted back to his overtly sexual seduction.
George Michael: So, therefore, when I say, "You and me in a bedroom, let's solve for X," I'm stating it as a kind of formula.
Maeby: Yeah, let's get wasted. Let's drink that formula.
George Michael: It's not that kind of formula. No, I'll show you what a formula is real quick, 'cause that's very important.
Quote from George Michael
George Michael: Yeah, well, it's because you all sped up together. Now, you know if I was playing in your band, I would say, "Hey, you know, let's do the whole "fast and loose with tempo thing." But this is about my demo tape to Juilliard and they've got to dig what I do so much that they start an entire department for wood block. So, I'm sorry, guys. And you're leaving, okay. They left early. Proves my point. She was cute. They were playing way too loud anyway, right? Could you even hear the wood block?
P-Hound: Right at the end. We could record you separately, and then mix it louder on the computer.
George Michael: Well, then I'm not playing in a band. I mean, the whole point of the band is to showcase my amazing internal clock. You know, that's something you have to be born with.
