Quote from Michael

Lucille: My baby is sick, but Mother is here to nurse you.
Michael: Well, now I'm a little sicker.

Quote from Gob

Narrator: Meanwhile, Gob was still trying to arrange his comeback in magic.
Buster: So I'd be a magician and you'd be my assistant?
Gob: Well, on paper, yes. But once the show starts, and you ram that sword through my belly, people will know that I'm the one who belongs back in the Alliance. The kind of trick that I can put on a DVD, like Tony Wonder does.
Narrator: Tony Wonder had startled the world by baking himself into a loaf of bread. He sold the DVD's of it on his Web site, which many claimed suffered due to its pop-up ads.
Buster: Thanks. I'm finally being treated like a real person, not some deformed-
Gob: [screams] Hook! Forgot about that thing, Elephant Man. Gonna have to figure out something to do so that people can look at you without wanting to kill themselves.

Quote from Lindsay

Narrator: Meanwhile, Lindsay had also violated Michael's authority and was teaching George Michael to drive.
George Michael: Are you sure you don't want me to just watch you for a while?
Lindsay: Driving is about confidence, George Michael. Jam on it! It feels great, right? Now, put your foot on the brake. There's a light in a half mile.

Quote from Gob

Tony Wonder: Hey, so the accident angle. Right on.
Gob: Oh, thank you, very much.
Tony Wonder: No, thank you. The "How'd he do dats?" ate it up. Sorry. That's what we call the audience.
Gob: No, l-I know- I know about all that. Used to have a solo act. There was talk of boiling me into a bisque at one point.
Tony Wonder: Not registering. But you hitched your wagon to the right star. I want you guys on my next DVD.
Gob: You want us for Use Your Illusion?
Tony Wonder: Actually, some band has got the rights to that title. So, I'm thinkin', like, Use Your Illusion II. But, yeah, meet me out there tomorrow. And, uh, if you get thirsty... [screams] Have a free round of drinks, courtesy of Tony Wonder.
Buster: It's a Subway Sub Club card.
Gob: That's a magician.
Buster: Oh, it still needs three stamps.

Quote from Michael

Starla: You're getting a new assistant? Is this because the order was cut back?
Michael: No. But if you are concerned about keeping your job, focus on keeping unwanted visitors out of my office.
Starla: I have rabies, Michael. You know that. Today was day four of my shots.
Narrator: Starla had been bitten by a well-known music producer's guard dog.

Quote from Lindsay

Lindsay: See? He's right. You've got a control problem. But I know this Eastern medicine store, Ancient Chinese Secret.
Michael & Tobias: Ancient Chinese Secret, huh?
Lindsay: I sent Gob there for his migraines.
Michael: It's just a cramp. I'm fine.

Quote from Michael

Narrator: And Michael was finally ready to make his son watch him drive.
Michael: All right, stair car basics. In order to get this thing up to a minimum speed you gotta jam on the gas pedal for about a minute, okay? But in order to slow this thing down you gotta get immediately back on the brake pedal 'cause you got about two tons of stairs behind you. We're gonna cover the hydraulic flaps and the riser system after I tell you the basics about how to avoid a hop-on. But the first thing we're gonna go over- Ow!
Narrator: And that's when Michael decided that perhaps it was time for a sick day.
Michael: Let's go over the route to the hospital.

Quote from Michael

Tobias: Well, don't you worry about work today. I am ready and willing to step up and take over.
Lindsay: Yeah, and I'll get George Michael ready for his driving test.
Michael: No, no, no, I'm gonna teach him when I get out. And no one's taking over for me at the Bluth Company.
Tobias: Michael, this is what we talked about. I'm sure they'll do just fine without you.
Michael: Well, you're wrong, because we're in crisis there. They need to know that I'm in charge and I'm in con- I'm peeing. Am I peeing?
Doctor: I'm sorry. We gave you a little something to relax you. It may have taken the tingle out of your genitals.
Lucille: Oh, no. You're not taking care of my son.
Doctor: I'm sorry to say this, but it's too late for me to do anything for your son.
Michael: Let him keep talking.
Doctor: Because Dr. Stein here has already been assigned to his case. You're lucky. He's the best.

Quote from Michael

Dr. Stein: Well, I am the best doctor in the state. But if you don't trust my decisions-
Michael: No, no, no. No. You're the doctor. You see, he's the authority here. We need to respect him just like the employees at the Bluth Company need to respect me.
Dr. Stein: Okay, I'm going to put you on this machine to slow down your heart rate. Hopefully not too slow, because it's already dangerously slow as it is. [chuckles]
Michael: Whatever you think, Doctor.

Quote from Buster

Tony Wonder: You like bread?
Buster: Yeah.
Tony Wonder: Have some.
Buster: Wow, it's warm. How did you do that?
Tony Wonder: Oh, ho, ho. Magicians only. [quietly] I folded it up into some squares, and I put it in a pouch under my shirt and then I pull it out, and I make it look like it came out of my skin.
Buster: Wow, that sounds easy.
Tony Wonder: Keep it to yourself.
