Michael: Yeah, clearly. Let me ask you a question. Where the hell have you been? Why didn’t you call me?
Lindsay: Look at my life, Michael. Tobias is out of work, we’re in debt. It’s...
Michael: What are you doing? Are you trying to cry?
Lindsay: I’m sad. Life is hard right now. I’ve got the J.D.L. on my ass.
Michael: J.D.L.?
Lindsay: Jewish Defense League.
Michael: Oh, the circumcision thing? This is why I was against H.O.O.P. Why don’t you just mind your own business, Lindsay?
Lindsay: See? This is why I didn’t call you, Michael, because you’re so judgmental.
Michael: No, I’m not judgmental.
Lindsay: And you’re disappointed in me.
Michael: I’m not disappointed in you.
Lindsay: You are.
Michael: So I’m disappointed in you, but, come on, what is not disappointing about my life? Dad didn’t give me the promotion. Dad’s in jail. How disappointing is that?
Lindsay: So we’re a disappointing family.
Michael: We’re an incredibly disappointing family. But we are a family... and I want my son to be happy, so... maybe we should be in each other’s lives.
Lindsay: I’d like that.
Michael: Yeah?
Michael: Seriously, you’re going to pull a muscle.
Lindsay: I used to be able to do this.
Narrator: So Michael decided to stay in California and try to save the family business. And for the first time ever, he gathered his family together in the model home.
G.O.B.: Dad was always banker, so there was no beating him.
Lindsay: Totally.
George Michael: He should’ve been stocking up on those “Get Out of Jail Free” cards.
G.O.B.: Good one, George Michael!
Buster: Yes!
Michael: Very good.
George Michael: Wish you guys didn’t have to go so soon.
Michael: Oh, on that subject: these guys are actually going to be staying with us. For a while. Just your aunt. And her husband. Not G.O.B.
George Michael: Really?
Michael: Yeah. What the hell, huh? Family first, right? It is going to be a little crowded though, so I think you’re going to have to share a room with your cousin.
Music: What you tryin’ to say to me?
...on the next Arrested Development
