Gob Quote #402
Quote from Gob in Taste Makers
Gob: Anyway, I'm just stopping by here 'cause this is where my e-mail comes.
Maeby: You could check your e-mail anywhere.
Gob: Uh, yeah, e-mail, but this is g-mail. I got a guy down here on the third floor to set it up for me, and then when we moved to the fourth, I was like, screw it, I'll just come down here to check it, 'cause I don't want wires going everywhere.
George Michael: You can actually use your phone for that.
Gob: Yeah, and I could use a pigeon. But for this particular task, I've chosen e-mail. [grunts] Anyway, I sent my résumé out, and the only firm that's gotten back to me is the gang over at Mailer Daemon. Aw, damn it! God, missed him again. It seems like they write me back every time I step away from this thing. Well, on the other hand, this is on them, 'cause I made it clear that I was looking for a three-day-a-week president job, and why why... [laughing, stammering] [breathy laughing] [exhaling repeatedly] Why- Why- When- When- What kind of when- What?
George Michael: You're looking for a president job?
Maeby: I'll be damned, it is a he.
Gob: Who e-mails back- What? At Wednesday at nap?

Quote from Maeby
Maeby: Well, that explains why Maeby's credit cards aren't working.
George Michael: Maeby's credit cards?
Maeby: Oh, sorry. The minute I put the teeth in, I become a completely different person. [chuckles] Speaking of which, there's your solution. We both have alter egos, and I think it's about time we killed them off. What do you say? George Maharis can have a heart attack. Maeby gets hit by a bus.
George Michael: You're killing off Maeby?
Maeby: Yup, see you.
George Michael: I know Annette can be forgetful, but she remembers Maeby is the dominant personality, right?
Maeby: Hey, I got a pretty sweet setup here. Okay? I finally got rid of my beloved Stan. He's in the hospital, massive head injury. Free rent. New neighbors every six to eight months. Also, Maeby doesn't even have a high school diploma. Not a good move, given the world my generation is leaving hers.
George Michael: I'm glad it's easy for you, but me and George Maharis have the same teeth. [Maeby chuckles] People are gonna figure it out. If I'm not arrested for fraud, I'll be in debt for life. I'm gonna end up in my old bedroom.
Maeby: Yeah. It's six o'clock. I'm already an hour and a half late for dinner. And I'm sorry if I'm repeating myself, but, uh... Annette, she like-a the pasta, hmm? [sings] How did you ever find me?
Quote from Tobias
Tobias: All right, look, we're in a bad situation here. But, I've been jammed with bigger things in tighter spots than this.
Quote from Maeby
George Michael: I was this close to telling Rebel the whole truth: that you fired everyone months ago, and the thing is a fraud. Then we open the doors, and the place is abuzz. She totally bought it. She wants to invest now.
I don't know how you did it, but it was great. You got people there for the day.
Maeby: I didn't hire anybody for the day.
George Michael: Then where did those people come from? The place was wall-to-wall nerds.
Maeby: Yeah, this is making sense. Those people that you saw didn't come in for the day. They never left. Remember when I said I fired everybody? What I did was, I asked Joan in HR to fire everybody for me. And then, so I didn't have to make two phone calls, I fired her there on the spot.
George Michael: So you fired the person in charge of...
Maeby: Firing. Yes. So, you know, you fire the person in HR last. That's the lesson here. But, hey, this is how you learn in business, am I right?
George Michael: You mean we're still somehow paying these people?
Maeby: Well, we're not paying Joan in HR. Gotta give me credit for that one.
