G.O.B.: Well, gee, I didn’t think the woman I’d be checking out at spring break would be Mom.
Buster: She’s better looking than the whores you date.
G.O.B.: Don’t call my escorts “whores.”
Buster: Mom’s still got it!
G.O.B.: I don’t date whores!
| CONTEXT |
George Michael: Look, I don’t want to ruin your fun, you know? But I hate to see guys treat you like this. You’re better than that. To me, anyway. You’re-you’re...
Maeby: Awesome?
George Michael: No, I was going to say you’re like this flower. And I know it’s springtime, but I hate to see you get plucked by someone who doesn’t even care that you’re blossoming.
Maeby: That’s what I’ve been waiting to hear.

They probably ripped it from the credits of the episode... Great find, though! Thanks a lot for that!
On a side note, after watching this episode way too many times to keep count, I was wondering: During the last scene, is anyone else totally fixated on that idiot in the background dancing around in the scuba mask?

Here’s a question: Does anyone know the song that plays during the scene between George Michael and Maeby towards the end? This is the scene where GM tells her she’s like a flower and he’d hate to see her get plucked. If anyone knows this song, that would be spectacular.

Anyone have it in a format which doesn’t require Quicktime. I’m pretty anal about what I install on my computer, but I would like to hear it.
