Lucille Quote #288
Quote from Lucille in The Untethered Sole
Lucille: How could this be happening? Buster couldn't have done this. I raised him totally by the book.
Gob: Mom, you had him on a leash until he was six.
Lucille: Well, if that leash screwed him up so badly, why does he still want to wear it?
Michael: Guys, it's not time to play the blame game, okay? Even though they do say, in most cases, something happens in childhood and, usually, the person that raises them is to blame. But that's experts.
Lucille: I see what you're doing. Don't you try to pin this on Lupe. She had her own family to raise, too.
Michael: Boy, Mom brings up a very good point.

Quote from Tobias
Tobias: Someone from this family needs to speak for Buster. Who is Buster Bluth? A young, one-armed, Iraq War vet suffering from PTSD, raised by a young mother who had him at 17, whose only flaw was that she loved him too much.
Lucille: Actually, I was 37.
Tobias: Well, no one would believe that.
Lucille: You're hired.
Michael: No, you're not.
Quote from Tobias
Michael: Mom, I'll handle this.
Lucille: Oh, Michael, let's be honest. Every time you handle things, they're mishandled.
George Sr.: Yeah, your mom's right. I mean, lately, you're just doing everything badly.
Gob: Yeah, Dad, nail his ass.
Tobias: [chuckles] I'll pile on to nailing that ass, Dad.
Quote from Buster
[flashback:]
Young Michael: Didn't Buster used to get past the window?
Young Gob: Mom tightened it when he tried to put that starfish in his mouth. Yeah, but he's had a good summer. He's made friends.
Young Buster: Actually, Mother made the friend for me. So I named it after her: Lucille Ball.
