Episode Transcript
Written by Courtney Lilly.
Michael: Well, that’s too bad, because I think she quit. What do you need her to spin?
G.O.B.: Murder.
Narrator: Michael was summoned to help his brother.
Michael: Murder, huh? Who died?
G.O.B.: My career.
Michael: I’m going to go home now.
G.O.B.: This will ruin me.
Michael: He’s probably fine.
G.O.B.: No, I need Jessie.
Michael: Well, she quit when I told her that I couldn’t go out with her. You know, I have to do the right thing for my son.
Michael: G.O.B., have you destroyed my chance of getting my son in that school?
G.O.B.: Not with the right spin. Jessie—get her back.
Narrator: Charged with the task of renewing his medical license, Tobias was enjoying his first acting class with Carl Weathers.
Tobias: “I don’t know what your police captain told you about me, but I’m a different breed of cop. I’m from the streets and I’m the last cop you’re ever going to want to mess with in a darkened alley. A dark alley. And I...”
Tobias: Mr. Weathers, I don’t know. Perhaps my wife is right. I don’t know if I’m cut out to be a De Niro or a Regis or a Pinkett-Smith, or a what-have-you.
Carl Weathers: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Tobias, dreams are worth fighting for. Now, are you going to be a fighter or are you going to be a doctor?
Tobias: You’re right, Carl Weathers. I should just march into that restaurant where my wife works and tell her...
Carl Weathers: Your wife works in a restaurant? Do they get a shift meal, or do they just pay half price on select menu items?
Tobias: I don’t know.
Carl Weathers: Well, let’s find out, man.
Narrator: And the press got hold of G.O.B.’s story.
Reporter: Where’s Earl Milford?
G.O.B.: I-I don’t know. I put him in a box. I didn’t kill him, all right? And don’t edit this for your broadcast so it looks like I’m screaming, “I killed Earl Milford!”
John Beard: Startling confession tonight at 11:00.
Narrator: Minutes later, G.O.B. unloaded his equipment and made a surprising discovery.
Earl Milford: Don’t send me back. They abuse us. It’s not pleasant.
G.O.B.: Earl, I have to take you back. It’s the only way to clear my name.
Earl Milford: You’ll have a new name—Hero.
G.O.B.: Hero. That could work for me.
Narrator: Meanwhile, Jessie decided to pay George Michael a visit.
Jessie: Hi, George Michael. Proud of yourself?
George Michael: Yeah, actually. I got a bum away from the stand without hurting his feelings. That was pretty sweet.
Jessie: No, I mean about your father. About denying him his chance to be happy?
Maeby: You’re into that, too? I’m rubbing off on you, huh?
George Michael: No, I want my dad to be happy.
Jessie: Oh, it’s too late now. I’ve seen to that. Daddy lost his shot at happy, and it’s all your fault, Opie.
Narrator: Jessie had gone too far and she had best watch her mouth.
