1. Now the story of a wealthy family
who lost everything...
Copy !req
2. and the one son who had no choice...
Copy !req
3. but to keep them all together.
Copy !req
4. It's Arrested Development.
Copy !req
5. Michael Bluth was fed up
with his mother's extravagant spending.
Copy !req
6. Hey, Mom. Remember we had that
conversation about trying to...
Copy !req
7. cut back on things
that aren't necessities?
Copy !req
8. - Like it was yesterday.
- It was this morning...
Copy !req
9. and now I hear that you've hired
a crew for the yacht.
Copy !req
10. - I'm selling that yacht.
- Michael, you haven't heard why I want it.
Copy !req
11. To throw the most lavish party this town
has ever seen for my birthday.
Copy !req
12. I enjoy bicentennials as much as
the next guy, Mom, but we're not doing that.
Copy !req
13. My neighbor Lucille Austero is
constantly throwing parties for herself.
Copy !req
14. - She's having another one in a week.
- I'm not going to that.
Copy !req
15. Buster had been avoiding
Lucille Austero...
Copy !req
16. since he accidentally flirted with her
while not wearing his glasses.
Copy !req
17. And then accidentally bid on her
at a charity bachelorette auction.
Copy !req
18. - Ten thousand dollars!
- Buster.
Copy !req
19. And then accidentally entered
her apartment, thinking it was his mother's.
Copy !req
20. I need you right now.
Copy !req
21. Fellas, take a powder.
Copy !req
22. Oh, here comes the 10:15
conniption, right on time.
Copy !req
23. Honest to God, Buster, it's like every little
thing makes you seize up in terror lately.
Copy !req
24. I have no idea where you get that from.
Copy !req
25. Get away from that stove.
You're going to light your hair on fire.
Copy !req
26. He's weak.
Copy !req
27. Speaking of weak, Mom,
what do you got in there, gold bars?
Copy !req
28. Protein bars for your father.
He's pumping up in prison.
Copy !req
29. - No more parties. Okay, Mom?
- You're my third least-favorite child.
Copy !req
30. I can live with that.
Copy !req
31. Michael came home to find
his mother's fourth least-favorite child.
Copy !req
32. - Heard you're selling the yacht.
- Yeah. I had a couple in there this morning.
Copy !req
33. Yeah, I know.
Copy !req
34. Well, they got the Asian right.
Copy !req
35. "Hotties" might be a stretch.
Copy !req
36. Well, let's start with the little one.
Copy !req
37. - You're not staying on the yacht, are you?
- What do you want me to do?
Copy !req
38. - Live full-time with Marta?
- Or break up with her.
Copy !req
39. I'm sure there'd be somebody else
out there that would appreciate her.
Copy !req
40. In fact, Michael felt
that man was himself.
Copy !req
41. He had become infatuated
with his brother's girlfriend...
Copy !req
42. and was having difficulty
keeping his love a secret.
Copy !req
43. You have 48 hours to vacate the yacht.
Copy !req
44. Guys, I've got a great idea.
I wanna throw Mom a party.
Copy !req
45. Would you...
I just told Mom no more parties.
Copy !req
46. I know, Michael. That's why this is the perfect
opportunity to throw her a surprise party.
Copy !req
47. - She'd never suspect it.
- Is this her suggestion?
Copy !req
48. No. I just think it's important to
honor your parents.
Copy !req
49. Why don't you start by visiting Dad in jail?
You've never even been there.
Copy !req
50. Michael, do you have any idea what
would happen if I were to visit prison?
Copy !req
51. - Hmm.
- It would be pandemonium.
Copy !req
52. - Mm-hmm.
- It'd just give Dad one more reason to think...
Copy !req
53. that I've got nothing
to offer but my looks.
Copy !req
54. Yeah, I got some of that...
except he also didn't like my looks.
Copy !req
55. Okay, Michael. I will go visit Dad...
Copy !req
56. if you drive Mom to the restaurant
for the surprise party.
Copy !req
57. I'll just pretend that
I'm taking her out that evening.
Copy !req
58. - Come on. That would never happen.
- She can't drive herself.
Copy !req
59. - I mean, she's the world's worst driver.
- Lindsay was not exaggerating.
Copy !req
60. Lucille had recently been featured on
Fox's World's Worst Drivers.
Copy !req
61. Yeah. I can't believe she got that
driver's license renewed.
Copy !req
62. She didn't. I dummied her up a new one.
Copy !req
63. Not my best work though.
She wanted to look 48.
Copy !req
64. I nearly airbrushed her into oblivion.
Copy !req
65. We ended up checking "Albino" on the form.
Copy !req
66. Come on, Michael. Who knows how long
our parents are going to be around.
Copy !req
67. I gotta tell ya. I was over at her
place today, and she looked a little frail.
Copy !req
68. She was having trouble even lifting up
this bag of groceries.
Copy !req
69. All right. We will do the surprise party.
Copy !req
70. For Gangy?
Copy !req
71. - Yeah, how did you know?
- She called and invited us.
Copy !req
72. - Okay, so it was her idea.
- We don't have to go, do we?
Copy !req
73. Come on. This is a Bluth family celebration.
It's no place for children.
Copy !req
74. And Lindsay went to the prison
to visit her father for the first time.
Copy !req
75. But didn't get the reception
she was expecting.
Copy !req
76. I wanna thank you for coming here.
It took a lot of guts.
Copy !req
77. The reason I'm here today is because
I felt that I needed to say something.
Copy !req
78. - Oh, okay.
- My whole life...
Copy !req
79. all you've ever praised me for is my looks.
Copy !req
80. - Oh, no. Your looks...
- Yes, Dad.
Copy !req
81. I mean, it's always been
Michael's got the brains...
Copy !req
82. Gob's got the charm,
Buster's got the...
Copy !req
83. - High-fastening pants.
- Have you said that?
Copy !req
84. No. I'm saying that now.
Copy !req
85. So, anyway. Look, if you're wondering why
I haven't visited...
Copy !req
86. maybe it's because I wanted to be thought
of as more than just a beautiful face.
Copy !req
87. And a gorgeous head of hair.
Copy !req
88. Lindsay was surprised once
again that no heads were turned.
Copy !req
89. I'm gonna go shopping.
I'll be back tomorrow.
Copy !req
90. George Michael was finally
moving beyond his crush on Maeby...
Copy !req
91. George Michael was finally
moving beyond his crush on Maeby...
Copy !req
92. and felt happy to have a cousin
he could just see a movie with.
Copy !req
93. It was a love between two cousins
that the world thought was wrong.
Copy !req
94. But it was the world that was wrong.
Copy !req
95. - We have got to see this movie.
- Excuse me, kids?
Copy !req
96. Can I see your I.D.'s?
Copy !req
97. And Michael was driving his
mother to her surprise party.
Copy !req
98. Where on earth are we going?
Copy !req
99. Left at the next corner.
Copy !req
100. - You know, Michael?
- Yeah?
Copy !req
101. I'd be happy to drive if you want me to.
Copy !req
102. It's better than sitting here
with Buster's stupid rock behind me.
Copy !req
103. Buster had recently
brought the rock home...
Copy !req
104. from an archeological dig, but had yet
to find a way to get it out of the car.
Copy !req
105. Mom, you've already got
two strikes on your record.
Copy !req
106. You strike one more person,
and it's technically a spree.
Copy !req
107. Are we going to the back?
Is this what I think it is?
Copy !req
108. - Surprise!
- And she was surprised...
Copy !req
109. - that her family didn't show up.
- So this is what my children think of me.
Copy !req
110. Where the... was everybody?
Copy !req
111. - What are you talking about?
- Mom's party. Where were you guys?
Copy !req
112. It's the first I've heard about it.
Copy !req
113. - What about you? Neiman's?
- Prison.
Copy !req
114. Then Neiman's. But only because I'm going
back to prison, and they've seen me in this.
Copy !req
115. Buster? You of all people.
Where were you, buddy?
Copy !req
116. You barely even leave Mom's apartment.
Copy !req
117. In fact, Buster was worried
about running into Lucille 2.
Copy !req
118. So he never left his mother's apartment.
Copy !req
119. Lucille 2 was also supposed to go, but
was waiting until she saw Buster emerge.
Copy !req
120. Tonight, Mother was humiliated.
Copy !req
121. And I wanna throw her another
surprise party... a real one.
Copy !req
122. One where she's not the one
that's yelling "Surprise."
Copy !req
123. - Mom yelled "Surprise"?
- Yeah. She went from giddy to devastated.
Copy !req
124. I mean, it would've been funny
if it wasn't so...
Copy !req
125. Well, it was kind of funny.
Copy !req
126. What frail act got you this time, Michael?
Copy !req
127. She couldn't open a jar? What, did a clump
of her hair come out in your hands?
Copy !req
128. No. It was something that she said at dinner.
Copy !req
129. It's dry.
Copy !req
130. You know, Mom,
I'm sorry you're upset. But, you know...
Copy !req
131. if you were nicer, then maybe your kids
would take better care of you, you know?
Copy !req
132. Or-Or wanna be with you more.
Copy !req
133. I've been a horrible mother.
Copy !req
134. No, Mom. You're great.
Copy !req
135. You've been a great mother.
Copy !req
136. - Well, you know she's been
a horrible mother, right?
- You don't have to tell me.
Copy !req
137. But what was I gonna say?
All right? So, it's a party.
Copy !req
138. I mean, if you're not
gonna do it for Mom, do it for me.
Copy !req
139. Okay. But I think
a party's a little excessive.
Copy !req
140. Um, is it okay if I do it for Mom
and not you?
Copy !req
141. - Yeah.
- 'Cause I really like Mom.
Copy !req
142. We know.
Copy !req
143. The next day, Buster decided
it was time to deal with...
Copy !req
144. the situation with Lucille Austero.
Copy !req
145. I've already got a Lucille in my life.
Copy !req
146. I understand. That's healthy.
Copy !req
147. I didn't mean to lead you on.
Copy !req
148. - Oh, Buster. I feel so foolish.
- No.
Copy !req
149. Yes. I'm foolish
and I'm funny and I'm needy.
Copy !req
150. - Am I needy?
- No.
Copy !req
151. Are you sure I'm not needy?
'Cause I feel needy sometimes.
Copy !req
152. You know, we're probably
not that different, you and me.
Copy !req
153. You and I. Is it "l" or is it "me"?
Copy !req
154. - Buster, it's us.
- Yes. It is us. Us.
Copy !req
155. Under the pretense of driving
his mother somewhere else...
Copy !req
156. Michael, once again,
arrived at the restaurant.
Copy !req
157. Michael, did you do this again?
Copy !req
158. - Surprise!
- And once again, no one showed up.
Copy !req
159. Get up.
Copy !req
160. I told you. They don't support me.
Copy !req
161. I hate to tell you, Mom,
but they don't support me either.
Copy !req
162. I sat down and I told them
this was important to me.
Copy !req
163. - You did that for me?
- I let you drive, didn't I?
Copy !req
164. Yes, you did, Michael, and I'm loving it.
Copy !req
165. You're a good son.
You always do things for others.
Copy !req
166. You're the only one
holding this family together.
Copy !req
167. And you see a lot more than
I give you credit for, Mom.
Copy !req
168. You're not just concerned with yourself.
You care about the family.
Copy !req
169. Hey. Is that Gob?
Copy !req
170. It's an idiot on a scooter
at night? It's gotta be Gob.
Copy !req
171. - Let's give him a scare.
- Hmm?
Copy !req
172. - No, Mom. I don't think we should.
- A nice little scare.
Copy !req
173. Hey, big shot, too busy to
go to your mother's party?
Copy !req
174. Mom, that is not Gob. Mom! Mom!
Copy !req
175. You okay, sir?
Copy !req
176. Yeah. I guess.
How's my mom? She's so frail.
Copy !req
177. I'm fine. I'm fine.
I was thrown clear.
Copy !req
178. I only care about you.
Copy !req
179. - How are you feeling?
- Actually, my head does not hurt at all.
Copy !req
180. - What did you give me?
- Your mother asked me to pump you full of...
Copy !req
181. - Children's aspirin.
- Okay.
Copy !req
182. You know, it's funny.
I remember, um, leaving the restaurant.
Copy !req
183. And then, uh, I was driving, I guess.
Copy !req
184. l-I just... I cannot picture it.
Copy !req
185. That's pretty common, actually.
Copy !req
186. It's just short-term memory loss from
the bump on the back of your head.
Copy !req
187. I can't believe I did this. My
insurance rates are gonna go through the roof.
Copy !req
188. That's not what matters now.
Here, get comfortable. Scoot up.
Copy !req
189. "Scoot"? Scooter.
Was there a scooter involved?
Copy !req
190. Oh, dear.
I can't believe I did that.
Copy !req
191. - I am so sorry. I'll get you some air.
- I hardly felt it.
Copy !req
192. In fact, actually, uh,
I didn't feel it.
Copy !req
193. What was that?
Copy !req
194. Buster, you remember
when we were kissing last night?
Copy !req
195. It was a wild, wild ride.
Copy !req
196. But is this something we can do?
Copy !req
197. Is this something society will allow?
Copy !req
198. I don't care what other people think.
Copy !req
199. My God, for the first time in years
I felt like I was standing on solid ground.
Copy !req
200. You know,
my panic attacks have decreased.
Copy !req
201. I feel confident. I'm feeling proud even.
Copy !req
202. I mean, for the first time
in my life...
Copy !req
203. I'll call Dr. Miller.
Copy !req
204. Oh. Excuse me.
Copy !req
205. Hello. Oh, my God.
I'm getting my gauze.
Copy !req
206. You know, I should call George Michael.
I'm worried about my son.
Copy !req
207. I'm worried about my son. George Michael
will be fine with his aunt and uncle.
Copy !req
208. I want you resting, not using the phone.
Copy !req
209. - Let me take care of you.
- You know, you really are more
generous than I can remember.
Copy !req
210. But that's what a parent does, huh?
You put your kid first?
Copy !req
211. Rest up, sweetie.
You gave me quite a scare.
Copy !req
212. Scare. Did somebody say,
"Let's give him a so..."
Copy !req
213. What is the matter with me?
Clumsy Clara.
Copy !req
214. Totally cool. Didn't feel a thing.
You know, Mom, I'm crazy about this aspirin.
Copy !req
215. I can't believe we give it to children.
Copy !req
216. Gob, meanwhile, was being
visited by Michael's son, George Michael.
Copy !req
217. Michael? George Michael.
Copy !req
218. - You've gotta go.
- Wait.
Copy !req
219. Uncle Gob, is this a bad time?
Copy !req
220. No. Are you kidding? So, what's up?
Copy !req
221. I, uh, need you to make
some fake I.D.'s for me and Maeby.
Copy !req
222. - Like a passport?
- Yeah, yeah. That'd be great.
Copy !req
223. Oh, and, uh, preferably French.
I like the way they think.
Copy !req
224. Look, I don't want you thinking that your uncle
is some sleazy character from the docks.
Copy !req
225. - Good morning.
- How are you?
Copy !req
226. She's an Olympian... hopeful.
Copy !req
227. Swimming and some coaching.
Yes, I will make the I.D.'s for you.
Copy !req
228. But we're gonna have to make this quick.
Your dad wants me out of here by noon.
Copy !req
229. I wouldn't worry about him.
He's staying at Gangy's.
Copy !req
230. Yeah, he got in a car accident on the way
back from her birthday party.
Copy !req
231. - Man, I told him not to let her drive.
- No. It was him driving.
Copy !req
232. She's taking good care of him too.
She won't even let him use the phone.
Copy !req
233. - So you're telling me that he can't go
anywhere and he's incommunicado?
- Right.
Copy !req
234. That's when Gob decided to take
the yacht to South America for the summer.
Copy !req
235. I gotta alert this boat's crew.
Copy !req
236. They'll be devastated.
Copy !req
237. Lindsay put on her new outfit
and returned to prison.
Copy !req
238. Back at Lucille's, Michael was still
piecing together the accident.
Copy !req
239. - Hey, Buster.
- Hey, brother.
Copy !req
240. - Dr. Miller?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
241. I just jumped through a plate glass window
on a date.
Copy !req
242. Oh. Well, women love to laugh.
Copy !req
243. It was worth it to be away from
Mom's controlling grasp.
Copy !req
244. Buster, what's going on?
What happened to your head?
Copy !req
245. Nothing. Gob was just teaching me
how to hit it with a hammer.
Copy !req
246. Gob was there.
Copy !req
247. Gob was on his scooter.
Copy !req
248. I think I wanted to hit Gob.
Copy !req
249. Yes. That is exactly what happened.
You wanted to give Gob a scare.
Copy !req
250. I don't know why.
Copy !req
251. I think I do.
Copy !req
252. Thanks, Mom.
Copy !req
253. George Sr. was once again
being visited by his daughter.
Copy !req
254. That's it. I don't want...
You can't... I don't...
Copy !req
255. Please, you gotta stop coming here.
Copy !req
256. It is obvious I'm not wearing a bra, right?
Copy !req
257. I can't take this anymore. I, um...
Uh, I'm paying far too big a price for this.
Copy !req
258. Well, what about me?
This is the third time I've come here.
Copy !req
259. - I haven't even been remotely harassed.
- That is not what I'm paying for.
Copy !req
260. Have I lost it?
Did I ever even have it?
Copy !req
261. I'm paying thousands
of dollars in Krugerrands.
Copy !req
262. - What?
- Gold. Krugerrands.
Copy !req
263. Your mother snuck 'em in here
stuffed in energy bar wrappers...
Copy !req
264. to keep me from getting
strangled in the shower or worse.
Copy !req
265. - Stabbed?
- In a way.
Copy !req
266. I used them to pay off
the other guys.
Copy !req
267. To stop them from hollering
obscenities at my... my little girl.
Copy !req
268. But you keep coming back here, honey,
and I'm going broke.
Copy !req
269. That's all I ever wanted from you, Daddy.
Copy !req
270. For you to spend money on me.
Copy !req
271. No touching!
Copy !req
272. Gob, I want you to
move back on to the yacht.
Copy !req
273. The yacht? What makes you think
I'd want to now?
Copy !req
274. Well, I know that
you've been looking for...
Copy !req
275. What was that?
Copy !req
276. I think that was on your end.
Copy !req
277. The truth is, I can wait on selling the yacht.
It's just money, right?
Copy !req
278. Wow. How hard did you hit
that steering wheel?
Copy !req
279. - I actually hit the back of my head.
- The back of your head?
Copy !req
280. Yeah. Gob, the accident
only happened because...
Copy !req
281. I was trying to scare you.
Copy !req
282. - Maybe even hurt you.
- That doesn't sound like you.
Copy !req
283. It sounds like Mom.
Copy !req
284. Can we please just lay
off Mom for a change?
Copy !req
285. She's the one that helped me remember
what happened. I'm the bad guy here. Not her.
Copy !req
286. And definitely not you,
so, would you please just take the yacht?
Copy !req
287. I'll think about it.
Copy !req
288. South America sounds good.
Copy !req
289. But a chance to expose Mom?
Copy !req
290. - Turn this skiff around.
- We haven't even left the dock.
Copy !req
291. But "skiff" is appropriate, right?
Copy !req
292. Gob rushed to shore
to spare his brother...
Copy !req
293. from what he was certain
were his mother's machinations.
Copy !req
294. - What are you doing?
- Hey. Open this door.
Copy !req
295. - You've been set up.
- Michael!
Copy !req
296. There's no way you were trying to hurt me.
You don't hate me.
Copy !req
297. Mom hates me.
You kind of like me.
Copy !req
298. - Yeah. I kind of like you.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
299. - Michael, I need your help.
- Coming.
Copy !req
300. - Ow! I got hit back there.
- Right!
Copy !req
301. On the back of the head, which means that
you couldn't have hit the steering wheel.
Copy !req
302. Mom must have clubbed you with a
champagne bottle or something so she could drive.
Copy !req
303. - Gob, how'd you figure it out?
- It's funny you should ask that...
Copy !req
304. No. He didn't figure anything out.
Copy !req
305. I probably got hit on the back of the head
because of Buster's rock.
Copy !req
306. Hey, big shot!
Copy !req
307. Which was behind the passenger seat.
Copy !req
308. Which means that she picked you up
and dragged you over to the driver's seat.
Copy !req
309. Mom can't pick me up. She could barely
pick up that bag of protein bars.
Copy !req
310. Guess what? They weren't protein bars.
Copy !req
311. They were gold Krugerrands.
And Dad finally paid attention to my intellect.
Copy !req
312. - Open this door!
- Gob, this is nuts.
Copy !req
313. Mother is frail.
Copy !req
314. - Stop this nonsense this instant!
