Episode Transcript
Written by Karey Dornetto.
Tobias: Honey, the car is here.
Lindsay: Hey. Do you need a ride? You’ll have to lie down.
Michael: You’re going, too, huh?
George Michael: Yeah, I thought I would, um, just go with Maeby and support her through this whole Graft versus Host thing.
Narrator: And Michael himself was feeling a little like the host that the grafting family was rejecting.
Michael: Great. Go. It’s a very important cause. I’ll just stay here and read.
- The Man Inside Me
- The only books in the Bluth house are copies of Tobias’s book The Man Inside Me, first seen in Let ’Em Eat Cake, labelled with the sticker “Free with the Purchase of any other book (or magazine).”
Narrator: But this, too, would prove challenging, as the family had no books. Other than those. And that’s when Michael got a glimpse into the warden’s true intentions with his mother.
Girl Lucille: You were just using me to get even with the man who broke out of your prison?
Boy Gentiles: That escape cost me my promotion. And you’ll pay for the loss of $2,300 a year.
Girl Lucille: But you gave me presents. We made love.
Boy Gentiles: I’ve given you one last present. Enjoy the chlamydia, Lucille. (Laughs.) Take this newly-diseased woman to the hole. (Laughs.)
Michael: I wish I’d read The Man Inside Me.
- Franklin
- While rifling through G.O.B.’s “magic stuff,” George, Sr. briefly holds up Franklin.
Narrator: George, Sr. needed to escape. But his handmade replica would never fool the cameras. So he searched through G.O.B.’s magic stuff to find something that might.
George, Sr.: Well, that was a freebie.
Michael: Hey, G.O.B., glad you’re here. I thought you’d be at the gala.
G.O.B.: Yeah, Dad made me move my stuff out of Buster’s room.
Narrator: But only after hiding himself in the cage to get past the co at the door.
George, Sr.: Go.
Narrator: And Buster returned, only to find no evidence of his Uncle/Father.
Buster: I was just bringing some juice for my pet. Wait a minute. You’re not really smiling.
Oscar: I’m Oscar. He did it again. I told you he would. I can’t go through this again. I can’t be caged.
Narrator: And Buster realized he needed to give his true father his freedom. But it was a freedom at didn’t last long. And as the prison gala was underway, the guys arrived for their break-in with the help of one of George, Sr.’s instruments of escape.
Michael: You think this is gonna work?
G.O.B.: It’s a jet pack, Michael. What could possibly go wrong?
Michael: Now just make sure you tell me before you hit any buttons.
G.O.B.: Good. Now we know what the strap was for.
Michael: Okay.
G.O.B.: Under the crotch.
Michael: Need a new plan.
G.O.B.: Yeah.
Michael: Wish I knew the layout of this place.
G.O.B.: Way ahead of you, Michael. Drew a map of it on my stomach. It’s upside down, so it might be a little awkward.
Narrator: It was awkward.
G.O.B.: I drew us. I think we’re, like, right there.
