Michael Quote #495
Quote from Michael in Check Mates
Michael: I bought you! I had to- I had to use a shell company because I knew you were gonna give me a discount, and I wasn't gonna have that.
George Michael: You bought Fakeblock? This is-
Michael: This is a dream come true, is it not? That's how I felt when I found the money for it in a hidden account.
George Michael: Well, that certainly explains the complete lack of vetting of our software.
Michael: Mm-hmm, sure. Listen, I'm not gonna get involved in any of that tech stuff, even though I did spend that couple of months at the Search campus. But I'm not gonna start coding, 'cause if Fakeblock doesn't work, we lose both companies for good. You understand?
George Michael: I thought it was over.
Michael: I know you thought it was over. Look how emotional he is, huh? Listen, that's why I stepped in. Fakeblock ain't going nowhere.

Quote from George Michael
George Michael: Hey, guys. Yo. Hey. All right, question: How many of you wake up with a knot in your stomach? Right. Me, too. But I like to think of that knot in my stomach as a little ball of energy. You know, it keeps me frightened when I should be calm. It pumps adrenaline through my veins when ordinary blood is what I need. But, you know, all of these things can create a winning spirit. One that I would like for all of you to share in. So that we can turn those knots in our stomach into why-nots. You know? People say there there's no such thing as privacy on the Internet. Well, why not?
Man: Why not?
George Michael: Yeah. Right. People say no one can build a completely impenetrable wall. Why not?
Employees: Why not?
George Michael: And, you know, people say you shouldn't start a company without cracking the technology that supports the flagship product of the company. For obvious reasons. Well, why not?
Employees: Why not?
George Michael: And what if you find out you're never gonna get paid, there is no product, and you're like, "Well, we can't let him get away with this." Well, why not? [employees murmuring]
Narrator: That may have been a step too far. But it wouldn't matter, because Maeby had just gotten some good news.
Quote from Michael
Michael: Hey. I got you an office-warming gift. I guess now it's an office-closing gift, but take a look at this. Your first paycheck at the banana stand. Look at that. Oh, I just wanted to frame up the the first one as a reminder of the value of a an honest day's work.
George Michael: It's funny, I don't remember ever getting a paycheck from-
Michael: You didn't. No, I couldn't give this to you because you were underage. In fact, I couldn't pay you, period, as an employee without getting in trouble with the government. I think we had you coded as a topping. No, in fact, where is it? There it is, right there. "Payment of two drums of dried George Michael."
George Michael: "A cocoa-based, non-digestive"
Michael: "Colorant."
George Michael: I used to love those.
Michael: Yeah. I still do, kiddo.
