Exit Strategy
Written by Jim Vallely and Mitchell Hurwitz.
George, Sr.: This constant bickering is going to put me in a coma!
Michael: Nice try, Dad.
Narrator: But Buster was finding his fake coma hard to sustain.
Adelaide: It takes a lot of courage to endure what they put you through. Especially since your mother saw that website.
Narrator: Buster was not only providing medical students a live body to learn on...
Resident: That’s okay. Try again... No, that’s a tendon. He’d be screaming right now.
Buster: (Low moaning.)
Narrator: ...he’d also served as a human canvas for both aspiring beauticians...
Cosmetology Instructor: That’s okay, you put too much collagen in there. No, no, try it again.
Narrator: ...and a much needed set of teeth for a dental program designed to encourage at-risk youths.
Dentist: That’s okay, Turf. No, try again.
Dentist: Oops, you’ve got your forearm right on his windpipe there, Dogbone.
Narrator: It really was amazing for their self-esteem.
Student: I did it.
Narrator: Even Buster was moved. But he endured it all for Adelaide.
Adelaide: I love you, Buster. Oh, what would give to hear you say you love me, too. Even if it meant you’d been faking this whole time. Speak to me. Say anything, my love.
Buster: Anything?
Adelaide: (Gasps.) Faker!
Buster: No, I wasn’t faking my love for you. I just don’t want to testify at my dad’s trial.
Adelaide: Well, you’re a coward!
Buster: No!
Adelaide: Adelaide, how could you let this happen again?
Narrator: She was wrong on that one. It was love that made Gary take that step.
Adelaide: Oh, whoever said vegetables were good for your heart.
Buster: No, no, no. No, please. (Whimpers.) (Cries out.)
Narrator: Of course, he hadn’t used his legs in three weeks. And Michael met with Wayne Jarvis.
Michael: I apologize for the rest of my family not being here. They wanted to testify, but they all have perfectly legal excuses. And I can assure you that no one is hiding.
Wayne Jarvis: Michael, your mother and your sister are not in a rehab center.
Michael: Where are they really?
- “Slut” shirt
- The fake Lindsay that checks into Shady Pines is wearing Lindsay’s “Slut” shirt.
Wayne Jarvis: We don’t know. But we do know that the two people who checked into Shady Pines under the names Lucille Bluth and Lindsay Fünke are not your relatives. Also, for someone in a coma, your brother Buster has made an impressive 15 phone calls to radio stations alternately requesting “I Will Survive” and... what was the other one?
Cho: “She’s Out Of My Life.”
Wayne Jarvis: “She’s Out Of My Life.”
