Revision: 1.14

Narrator: Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together. It’s Arrested Development.


John Beard: Low-carb diets are sweeping the nation, but some local businesses are being left in the dust.

Michael: Hey!

John Beard: And the latest on Iraq...

Michael: George Michael, they’re gonna show that interview you did. We’re gonna watch it on Thursday, okay? I’ll make some popcorn.

George Michael: Popcorn? Really? Cool. Yeah, the hell with Atkins, huh?

Michael: Oh, yeah. Why blow it now? I’ll fry up some bacon.

George Michael: Dad...

Michael: Buddy, you got to take it easy, okay? I’m showing this as the model again. I don’t want people to think we’ve got shoddy workmanship. That might not have been your fault.

G.O.B.: I know. Nothing works in this house.

Michael: Tell me about it.

Vote: ***** / Average: 4.20 (46 votes)

Lindsay: Is that a shot at me?

G.O.B.: Probably.

Lindsay: Because, for your information, I have a job.

Michael: Really? What kind of job?

Lindsay: Beads!

G.O.B.: Bees?!

Lindsay: Beads.

G.O.B.: Beads?!Listen

Michael: G.O.B.’s not on board.

Vote: ***** / Average: 4.69 (174 votes)

Lindsay: Beads are very big right now—anklets, necklaces, you name it.

G.O.B.: Bracelets...

Lindsay: But I’ll need some startup money.

G.O.B.: I’m in. But we’re gonna need a lot. Beads aren’t cheap. Are beads cheap?

Michael: G.O.B., shouldn’t you be in bed?

G.O.B.: Well, I’ve got a meeting with Dad’s attorney today. He’s going to want me to take a lie detector test to use as evidence in Dad’s trial, but I don’t want to. What if they ask about a magic trick? I can’t risk it.

Michael: They’re not going to ask you anything. They want me to take the polygraph test.

G.O.B.: But I’m the oldest. The matriarch if you will.

Michael: Oh, sure, I will.

Vote: ***** / Average: 4.56 (97 votes)

Michael: Look, I have to do this to help out Dad, but you don’t know anything about our business.

Lindsay: And, G.O.B., I’m not looking for a partner. And, believe me, if I was, it would not be you.

G.O.B.: Oh. Good. Well, I’ll start my own business. How hard can it be? (Buzzes.) Bzz! We’ll see who brings in more honey. (Buzzes.)

Michael: He’s thinking about bees again.

Vote: ***** / Average: 4.30 (71 votes)

Michael: Lindsay, I’m not going to just cut you a check so you can throw it away on another failed business.

Lindsay: Hey, “Mommy, What Will I Look Like?” should have worked.

Narrator: Lindsay had once started a photo-enhancing service which gave new parents a glimpse at what their infants would look like in half a century.

Lindsay: Hey, you put an ugly kid in, you can’t be surprised when an ugly adult comes out.

Vote: ***** / Average: 3.87 (47 votes)

Lindsay: Look, I need to become self-reliant. It’s not going to last with Tobias. He’s completely oblivious. He’s got no idea how I’m feeling or thinking.

Michael: So there’s no sex?

Lindsay: I mean, how do you not have sex with me?Listen

Michael: It is a struggle.

Vote: ***** / Average: 4.55 (66 votes)

Michael: I’ll tell you what... I’ll help you out, but you got to work.
