Quote from Tobias

Tobias: What do we want?
Protesters: No wall!
Tobias: When do we want it?
Protesters: We don't?
Tobias: Well, that doesn't-
Lucille: Tobias!
Tobias: Go limp! Go limp! Go- No, no, no, no. You- You look like you're at a Walking Dead convention. No, limp, like, uh, flaccid. Unerect.

Quote from Buster

Lucille: What did he mean? He's not using you in his show, is he?
Buster: Yes, because I'm a good assistant, and unlike you, I know how to keep a secret. I can't believe you told Warden Gentles about our family secrets.
Lucille: Look, you wanted to get out for the parade, but I drank too much, okay? This is why you don't go to rehab. I lost all my tolerance. But I tried to fix it. That's why I wanted Michael to expose that I was to blame. How was I to know he'd point the finger at himself? But it worked.
Buster: Mother, I know the truth now. I always thought you pushed Mimi down the stairs, and you made me take the blame. I got it backwards. I pushed Mimi down the stairs. And you made me take the blame. That's the same. But I want to thank you for that. You were just trying to protect me. Can you imagine how weird I would have turned out if I thought I did it? [chuckles]
Lucille: I really can't.

Quote from Gob

Narrator: And soon, it was time for the presentation to begin.
Gob: [v.o.] the president of Fakeblock, Mr. Gob Bluth! [runs on stage] "Gob"? Who said Gob? Gob, Gob! Who did? Thank you. Oh, and my- As many of you know, for thousands of years, the U.S. Mexico border has been woefully unfenced. But today, that changes. Not literally today. Today, we're just here for approval on a small piece of- Why am I being so serious? We're gonna be rich. With this wall- Buster, would you get out of the- Today, in these plywood forms, 10,000 pounds of wet, gay, QuickHard cement will be poured, because if we build it, they won't come!
Maeby: Oh, that's clever. All right, get ready to storm the wall.
Gob: But before I demonstrate to you the software that will... I don't know, I guess just stop tweeting from shithole countries, I'd like to make a special demonstration of my own. As many of you know, I performed a trick a couple months ago where I turned from straight, uh-huh, to gay. Uh...
Woman: Now?
Maeby: No, let's see how this pans out first.
Gob: While my friend Tony Wonder was encased in cement and never heard from again
♫ The first time ever I saw your... ♫
Gob: Face. Well, now it's my turn to transform back, which I will do by starting on the other side of the wall a gay man and turning straight as I walk through it.

Quote from Buster

Gob: And to help me do that, my assistant, direct from his mistrial, please welcome to the stage Byron Buster Bluth.
♫I'm free Free Free at last Free at last ♫
Gob: How does it feel to be accused of murder?
Buster: It was a lot of work, but I didn't do it! They found me not guilty.
Gob: Well, it was a mistrial, so they found you not not guilty.
Buster: There was no body. They will never find the body.
Lucille: Maybe I shouldn't have smoked during his pregnancy.
George Sr.: Well, to be fair, you- you hate to drink without a cigarette.
Buster: Speaking of magic, you ought to get on with yours.
Man: [o.s.] Murderer!
Buster: Not proven!
Gob: It didn't stick, asshole!

Quote from George Sr.

George Sr.: Well, it is a bit of a flaw that anybody can get over our wall by using a rope ladder.

Quote from Buster

Tobias: They're here for their paychecks. But I'll settle for a bedroom with half bath.
Lucille: Nice try, but it wasn't exactly your idea to protest. It was your daughter's.
Tobias: Where is that rebel?
Narrator: She was celebrating with her cousin.
Buster: Wow. Someone thinks his cousin is his mom.

Quote from Tobias

Lucille: I knew this day was too good to be true. Let me have it. I'm a liar and a terrible mother for keeping it from you.
Lindsay: Yeah. That's kind of true. Your anger spread to me, made me a horrible partner to Tobias.
Tobias: And I will say you weren't the most loving mommy yourself. But to be fair, you barely knew Murphybrown, so...
Maeby: Oh, what the [bleep]?
Tobias: Oh, yes. And you were a horrible mother to Maeby, too.

Quote from Buster

[On the next Arrested Development...]
Tobias: Hey, gang, does Buster's mannequin look like Judy Garland.
Lucille: Is it Lucille 2?
Lindsay: Why is she smiling?
Police Officer: This isn't a mannequin. This is... the happiest corpse I've ever seen.
Buster: [clicks tongue] Okay, I did it. So... But doesn't she remind you of Mom?

Quote from Gob

Dusty: You and I are friends, don't you think?
Lottie Dottie: Objection. Is this going somewhere?
Dusty: Yeah, that's what I wanted to find out. So do you think we'll hang out together after this?
Gob: I'll allow it. Ah- Hang out, like go to the beach or something?
Judge Stanley: How does that pertain?
Gob: I just want to know if he'll let me see his fort, because-
Dusty: I'll allow it.
Gob: Oh.
Dusty: I won't allow that.
Gob: That's... sustained. That's... That's fine. That's fair. That's... yeah.

Quote from Narrator

Narrator: Gob had last seen his friend Tony Wonder during a sex-pref-swap illusion that he'd hoped would cement their relationship. Which, in an unexpected way, it did.
