Maybe they tried forging a brith certificate for Lindsay. It would have the same birthday, and she IS a female. Why Nichael? Um, well, maybe, um...they knew they wanted to use an N. Bluth account and they thought that Nichael would be a good name for the twin sister of someone named Michael. Contrived as hell, but there you go.
One line that always bothers me. Lucille, I think, says something like "Great. You have the same representation as Captain Hook." referring to Michael as the lawyer in his school play.
BUT!
Clearly he was prosecuting Captain Hook.
#218 Jane Gallagher wrote on March 31, 2006:
but referring to the captain hook thing didn’t Michael end up prosecuting George Sr. anyway?
#219 bacon warrior wrote on March 31, 2006:
Not really, but he did consider betraying him.
Even if, it’s still a mistake.

I have watched this episode a hundred times and i dont know what, and maybe i dont want to know why, but Tobias comes into the secret room as michael is looking at the family records with a plastic bag, he acts shocked to see michael and trys to causually throw it aside....any ideas what the bag is for?...
ps i think George michael walked in on Tobias with his "workout"magazines once cause he always knocks when he opens the secret rooms door
#221 I ate all your bees wrote on June 16, 2006:
Ah, yes, we’ve talked about this and the general consensus is that the bag would be for collecting... er, "catch-rags" I think was the phrase used. Hence the muscle magazines and George Michael always knocking. Which is a good philosophy - saves you from a lot of traumatic experiences.
