Quote from George Michael

Lucille: Sally Sitwell won the election and now, for whatever reason, supports building the wall. We need to come up with two million dollars or we're gonna make powerful enemies.
George Sr.: Okay. Right, shush. Not in front of the grandkids. I don't want them to know about the shady business scams that go on in this family.
[meanwhile:]
George Michael: We lied to investors, so we have no product and we're two million dollars in debt. The next welcome home party's gonna be for us.
Maeby: Oh, don't be ridiculous. My name isn't on anything.

Quote from Tobias

Tobias: Father, Mother, please. Our whole family is in crisis. For I have seen what happens when families turn on each other. Just as I found my son, I lost him. And just as I lost my wife, I- I found my replacement wife, but then I- I lost her. [crying] I- I have nobody.
Maeby: Well, you got me, Dad.
Tobias: Not now, Maeby. I have what? Like, one person.
Maeby: Click.

Quote from Michael

George Sr.: Basically, what we did was we absorbed everything, including you.
Michael: And does Gob know that we're copresidents?
George Sr.: Gob doesn't know that there's a B in the word "debt."
Michael: And if you're gonna run the Bluth Company, that word's gonna come up.
George Sr.: Go into the company, you look at the books, you get in there, you find out if there's any money. I need an evaluation.
Michael: Yeah, that's an understatement.

Quote from Buster

Oscar: Watch your hand.
Buster: Watching.
Oscar: [gasps] Are you okay?
Buster: [shrieks]
Oscar: Wait a minute. It's a fake hand. How can it hurt?
Buster: No, it's a rental from prison, and Mother said my next hand...
Oscar: All right.
Buster: ...is gonna be out of my own pocket.

Quote from Gob

Adhir: I have all the books here. Coming through. Including the ones Gob can't look at. Do you want the Austero-Bluth or just the Bluth books?
Gob: Well, I can only look at the Bluth books. The Austero books are for British eyes only, as they say.

Quote from Gob

Gob: Michael, if, look, I'm the co-president, okay? There's only room at this company for one co-president. What's next? You're gonna want one of my parking spaces, Michael?
Michael: I didn't know that I was co-president myself. All right? I'm just here to help. I'm not going to trump you.
Gob: Oh, well, Michael, don't worry, 'cause I already went there. Saturday and Sunday semester. Best 17K Mom and Dad ever spent.

Quote from Buster

Narrator: But soon, they found the prosthetics lab.
Buster: Oh, I'm like a kid in a candy shop. No way. I think I saw William Shatner wearing this while riding a bicycle once.
Oscar: Yeah. Why don't you try this one? This one.
Buster: This one?
Oscar: Yeah.
Buster: I think this is used for teaching.
Oscar: Doesn't matter. Who cares?
Buster: It sort of reminds me of Mother's hand, except it's less veiny, and warmer.

Quote from George Sr.

Narrator: And back at the cottage, Lucille was in for a surprise as well.
George Sr.: Lucille, my lady, my love. Do you remember our first date, at that little Italian restaurant? Do you remember what I said to you? "How did I ever find you?"
Accordion Player: [sings] How did I ever find you?
Lucille: You took me for Chinese. The Italian place was the first time I caught you with your secretary, and you asked, "How did you ever find me?"
Accordion Player: [sings] How did you ever find me?
George Sr.: That's it. All right. Get out. Go back to the Macaroni Grill. I, uh, also brought you some leftovers.

Quote from George Sr.

George Sr.: Look, here's the deal. [chuckles] I can't...
Lucille: Live without me.
George Sr.: ...get hard. It's really getting hard, uh, to live without you.

Quote from George Sr.

George Sr.: You see, this is the stuff.
Lucille: That makes life worth living?
George Sr.: I was actually gonna say that we should keep from the DA, but can you tell me why life is worth living again?
Lucille: See, that's just it. I'm trying to have some kind of a life.
George Sr.: With Dustin Radler, the beach rat. What's the deal? You in love with this guy?
Lucille: We're having fun, George. [chuckles] Because he's fun. He loves music, he plays me songs on the guitar.
George Sr.: You know, hey, I just brought the assistant manager of the Macaroni Grill over here during his lunch shift. It set me back a sawbuck. It's a third of what you are giving me to live off these days.
