Quote from Maeby
Michael: So I guess your mom told you about your dad moving out, huh?
Maeby: No, she did not tell me that.
Michael: Oh.
Maeby: But she doesn't tell me anything. Neither of them do.
Michael: Sorry. Guess I shouldn't have said anything.
Maeby: Maybe I should just start keeping some secrets of my own.
Michael: Why aren't you at school right now?
Maeby: Marry me. I'm so sorry. I forgot who I was talking to.
Quote from Lindsay
Narrator: Lindsay came upon Lupe, who'd just been fired.
Lupe: I no clean for family anymore.
Lindsay: Can't you at least come over and Dust Buster or something?
Lupe: I no does Buster anymore.
Lindsay: Fine. I'll Dust Buster! Good.
Quote from Gob
Narrator: And Gob showed up at his mother's.
Gob: Well, guess who's been fired.
Lucille: Michael fired you?
Gob: No. I fired him. As a result, I'm no longer welcome in the office.
Quote from Gob
Gob: If I do this, you'll rehire me?
Michael: Of course I will.
Gob: The mere fact that you think you can says to me that I shouldn't let you. Course, we both need the work. [knocks a bowl of nuts over] Robot'll get it.
Quote from Gob
Rav Nadir: [on tape] Drought, starvation... These are the things my family has had to deal with for generations although, fortunately, not since we moved to Corona del Mar.
Gob: [shouts] Go home, you terrorist!
Michael: [to George Michael] How stupid do you have to be to say something like that?
Gob: [shouts] You're not wanted here!
Michael: Gob.
Gob: Michael.
Michael: You got George Michael's tape?
Gob: Yeah. I gave it to the tech guy. Don't worry. It's very tastefully done. [shouts] Sure you didn't make that video in a cave?
Quote from Steve Holt
Narrator: Soon it was time for Steve Holt to play his video which had been produced by his new campaign manager, Ann Veal.
Steve Holt: [on video] Hi. I'm Steve Holt.
Steve Holt: [shouts] Steve Holt! [applause]
Gob: This kid's popular? Looks like a chick I did once in high school. [shouts] Get a haircut!
Steve Holt: [on tape] Recently, I've been dealing with the fact that I've never known my father but I finally found a new Father. You're probably wondering what these footsteps are. Well, this is my second take. It's kind of like a second chance at making good.
