Quotes
Buster: Mom is becoming a little controlling.
Michael: What tipped you off? When she locked you out on the balcony again?
Buster: That was half my fault. I thought I saw a graham cracker out there.
Michael: You baited the balcony?
Lucille: Prove it.
Tobias: My schedule, however, is as open as my relationship with my wife, so, why don’t we pair up? And-and hit the town together!
Buster: Oh.
Tobias: I’ll be your wingman. (Laughs.) Even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up!
Michael: Well, that’s enough family stuff for today.
