Narrator Quote #146
Quote from Narrator in Courting Disasters
[Imagine Entertainment's Making of a Monster:]
Mimi: Oh, you're one to talk about looking out for yourself. I've never been invited to this place even once, and let's not forget who paid for it.
Young Lucille: And this is how you want to be paid back? You think you're gonna walk in here and take away my child?
Mimi: That's not your child. That's my child, and we both know it.
Young Buster: No. It's not true. I still have it! I'll still wear my gentleman's collar! But you're not my mother. Mother's my mother, Grandmother!
[Mimi screams as Buster pushes her down the stairs]
Narrator: You know, it's funny, I was actually worried about them showing this in court, but it it turned out better than I'd remembered. And I actually think it's a good advertisement for the show. Of course, we still haven't gotten Brian's notes. And obviously, we're gonna put Jean Smart's face on the stuntman. And Cobie did a great job, too. You know, I I should send her something.
[in the court room:]
Buster: Did you know about this?
Dusty: No. My dad made us give up Netflix when they went up by two dollars.
Lottie Dottie: Is that an accurate depiction of what Lucille told you was a true story?
Warden Stefan Gentles: I'm not just saying this to suck up to Ron Howard, but I think we nailed it.

Quote from Lucille
Lottie Dottie: I call to the witness stand Gene Parmesan.
Judge Stanley: Gene Parmesan. Gene Parmesan? Doesn't seem like he's here.
Lottie Dottie: That's impossible. He's a private detective. He'd never be late.
Gene Parmesan: Well, has anyone checked under the new bailiff? [removes fake beard] Gene Parmesan.
Lucille: [shrieks] Gene!
Gene Parmesan: And I swear to tell the truth, so help me God.
Lucille: That never gets old!
Gene Parmesan: I'll tell you something else that never gets old. Whoops. I'm under oath.
Quote from Tobias
George Michael: Gosh, I don't really know if we need any acting right now. The stuff we're doing here, it's more about preventing hacking, protecting privacy, and stuff like that.
Murphybrown: Oh, that's kind of what I was trying to stop, too.
Tobias: Yes, Murphybrown here is a bit of a computer whiz. [chuckles] He's worked on cable boxes.
Murphybrown: Yeah, I actually coded, like an extra layer beneath the firewall to keep your data from being exposed. It's like a dam or, like, a a stopper, or a barrier to stop people from...
George Michael: Like a block?
Tobias: Okay. Can we do this in English, Professor?
Murphybrown: Oh, s-sorry, sorry, my Sorry, my fine student. [troupe laughs]
Debrie: I need a diagram.
Tobias: It makes no sense at all. But what he's basically saying is, nobody wants to be naked underneath their underwear. So, one adds an extra layer of protection. It doesn't have to be denim, per se, but everybody wants to hide their privates from something.
Quote from Lucille
Dusty: Do you want me to take it easy on him? Or give it to him hard? I know he's a friend of yours.
Lucille: [scoffs] He's not my friend anymore. Testifying against our family after all the times I faked being surprised by him?
Narrator: So Dusty went after the witness's credibility.
Dusty: Mr. Parmesan, you say you're a master of disguises. How many looks are you capable of creating?
Judge Stanley: You asking me? I'm the judge.
Gene Parmesan: I'm Gene Parmesan.
Lucille: [shrieks]
