Tobias: Oh, we’re more than friends. I’m kind of his spotter.
Tobias: You missed a spot. Anyway, we should be looking at some big yen coming in from the Japanese. And when it does, I’m taking my gym buddy out to dinner— I barely even know you! Who’s Frank?
Frank: Well, I’ve been wanting to talk to you about that, but it’s a little awkward.
Tobias: Oh, well... I’ve been wanting to have my own awkward talk as well.
Frank: I think we can be more than just gym buddies.
Tobias: You’re blowing my mind, Frank.
Frank: I’m an agent, and I’d like to work with you.
Tobias: Oh. Oh... Well, this is great news, okay, good. I’m so glad you went first. What agency are you with?
Narrator: Frank said “CIA,” a government agency that was responsible for this catastrophe. But Tobias thought he said “CAA,” a talent agency which was responsible for this one.
Tobias: Frank’s in the business, Michael. He’s got a big project for me. Says it’s “top secret.” He kind of looks like you. Same size. Same curly hair.
Michael: Well, Tobias, maybe you should spend less time focused on your looks and a little bit more time focused on your daughter, okay? Her grades are terrible. She’s going to start getting “F’s.”
Narrator: Actually, she had already gotten one, as the movie she’d released in her secret life as a studio executive was losing money. But Maeby had a way to fix that.
Maeby: We turn it into a ride.
Mort Meyers: A ride?
Maeby: On the Studio Tour. What used to be the “Hell Tunnel,” now becomes... the “Tunnel of Love, Indubitably.”
Mort Meyers: But didn’t some people die in Hell Tunnel?
Maeby: That is an urban legend. Two elderly people got badly scalded when they tried to climb into the lava cauldron. But I’ve got that covered.
Mort Meyers: They’re just like the poster!
Michael: Grades like those, she’s going to be taking tickets at a movie theater the rest of her life.
Lindsay: You know, you’re one to talk. You’ve completely ignored this family since that British bird flew into your life.
Michael: No, I haven’t. Well... maybe a little. But, you, know, she’s amazing. You know she was in the Olympics?
Narrator: She wasn’t.
Lindsay: She’s that Rita Leeds? Wasn’t she on the cover of Newsweek?
Narrator: No
Michael: Yes.
Narrator: Michael was thinking of this man.
Michael: She even plays the banjo. Although, I do have to spend more time at work. I was at the property the Japanese funded today, and the whole backside has moles.
Tobias: Yeah, that’s Frank’s problem, too.
Narrator: Later that day, Michael went into the office to find the rest of his family.
Larry: Well, look who’s finally gracing us with his presence.
Michael: What’s a surrogate doing here?
Larry: We’re meeting with the lawyers...
George, Sr.: So I’ve hired this guy to be my eyes and ears.
Michael: You know, Dad, this guy costs us a fortune.
Larry: He’s worth every penny.
George, Sr.: Hey, I didn’t say that.
Bob Loblaw: Oh, Michael!
Michael: Mr. Loblaw.
Bob Loblaw: I’ll catch you up. The Japanese are coming.
Michael: They are?
Bob Loblaw: Somebody tipped them off that the property wasn’t ready for building.
Lucille: Which it would have been if Michael hadn’t been so busy with his... English muffin.
G.O.B.: Typical.
