Quote from George Sr. in It Gets Better
Narrator: Or bred with. Which was the case with George Michael. Who, as a small child, appeared in a promotional video for a developmental tool called BabyTock
[TV commercial:]
Young George Sr.: BabyTock will give your child a head start at math. And if I were a doctor, I would guarantee you that it would also boost their brain power by 110%. That's a lot of brain power. You've been using BabyTock, correct? For how long?
Tracey B.: For two months. But George Michael really enjoys listening to the sound.
Young George Sr.:And would you say it's changed the power of his brain?
Tracey B.: Well, that's impossible...
Young Lucille: ...to deny. I've always wanted a smart baby. This thing really works, George.
Narrator: In fact, it came from something that didn't.
[flashback:]
Young Lucille: So we're stuck with 5,000 of these worthless corn-ballers?
Narrator: When they were looking to recoup some of their costs after an ill-fated foray into the fry-at-home snack-food market.
Young George Sr.: Whoa, whoa. They're not worthless, you know. The timer still works. There's no numbers on it, but it's very loud, so... [timer ticking]
Young Lucille: Perfect for those who like the sound of a clock, but don't know their numbers.
Young George Sr.: That's good. We'll sell this to baby- Ow! Mother of [bleep]. We should put these in cribs.
Young Lucille.: That's not a half puny thought.

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 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
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.
