Written by Mitchell Hurwitz and Jim Vallely.
George Michael: Hi.
Ann: Are bananas high in carbohydrates?
George Michael: You’re on Atkins, too? Yeah. Actually that’s why I’m going to be on TV.
Ann: You are?
George Michael: I was interviewed for Hindsight with John Beard. I gave them a joke, but I don’t know if they’re gonna use it.
George Michael: Thanks to this diet craze, the last time we had a customer, the banana stand was still green.
John Beard: Lose it. No, lose the whole kid. We’ll just go with the Iraq piece.
Ann: That’s so cool.
George Michael: I guess.
Ann: Do you want to watch it at my house?
George Michael: Yeah, I guess.
Narrator: And Michael headed off to meet Kitty. Their last meeting had ended poorly...
Kitty: Say good-bye to your company, Michael. And say good-bye...
Michael: No, no, no, no.
Flashback from Missing Kitty CONTEXT.
Narrator: ...so Michael was understandably anxious about their reunion.
Michael: Yeah.
Kitty: Maybe a better question would be “What evidence do I have against you?” Because I’m...
Michael: No, no, no, no, I don’t want to know.
Kitty: I deserve it. Your father promised it to me on the day he went to prison.
Michael: Yeah, that sounds like something that he would do.
Kitty: And if I can’t be in charge, then I’m going to have to tell the entire world that your father was building houses overseas without paying...
Michael: Whoa, whoa... Stop, stop. Stop. No, finish. Finish. Without paying what? Taxes?
Kitty: Model houses, Michael. Overseas. And he hid it from the U.S. government.
Michael: That’s it, that’s what my dad’s been hiding, back taxes?
Kitty: And unless you plan on paying them, your dad’s going to be in prison for a long time.
Michael: Well, we’ll pay them. Forget it, we’ll mortgage the company if we have to. We found money for those, we’ll find money for taxes. Good to see you.
Kitty: Yeah. If I was in charge, that would’ve been my first move, too.
Narrator: As Michael returned home, George Michael was heading out to meet the girl from the banana stand.
Michael: Great news. The business is going to be okay.
George Michael: Yeah, I thought bananas would be okay on the diet.
Michael: No, I meant... Well, you haven’t been eating those have you?
George Michael: No. Just some nuts.
Michael: Yeah, those are fine. What I meant was I think we might be seeing Pop-Pop a little bit sooner than we thought. Does that sound good?
Lindsay: Do you hear that rattling?
Tobias: It is very worrisome.
Michael: Hey! What the hell are you doing?
Tobias: Great news, Michael. We’re thinking of purchasing a Bluth model home. And let’s check the oven.
