Quotes

George Michael: OCD? No, I’m just cleaning up after Aunt Lindsay. She never turns things off.

Michael: Well... Guess that explains why I saw the hedge trimmer zipping around the drive way. I did it again, didn’t I? I’m so self-centered. From now on, I want you to just tell me what’s on your mind, okay? And I promise I won’t just hear what I want to hear.

George Michael: I love my cousin.

Michael: Love you, too, pal.

CONTEXT

Tobias: You know, Michael, if I may take off my acting pants for a moment and pull my analrapist stocking over my head, George Michael has been acting strange lately. I think he may have developed what we in the soft sciences refer to obsessive-compulsive disorder. Or the O.C. disorder.

Michael: Don’t call it that.

Long time lurker... new poster

I know this line has been said before, but i was curious what he actually means when he asks if they want him to follow them to their car?



Hopefully it’s not really simple. I don’t want to seem like an MRM.

Remember when GOB says "A trick is something a whore does for money?" Let’s just say that he wasn’t talking about an illusion this time.

Go watch the scene in Team America where Spottswoode asks Gary to follow him back to his car. You see what Gary THINKS he means by that? Well... that’s what Gob was doing...

Yeah i had the sinking suspicion that it would be something like that. I guess i was hoping for something less weird from him.

Hah, I was watching this episode yesterday with headphones on, and I noticed that the Narrator’s "Buster’s lunch was long overdue" line was ALSO mimicked by Buster in the background, just like Micahel’s "You’re actually sort of doing it" line. :D



Also, I’m surprised that nobody’s mentioned (that I know of) the fact that Maeby says she has glitter in her lungs. A callback to The One Where They Build a House, where Tobias has diamond dust in his lungs at the end. Whenever the Bluths work with something small and sparkly, it always ends up in their lungs...

No, just the Fünkes.

i don’t know if this has been covered but has anyone noticed that all the ’celebs’ in SOB’s were from the succeeding episodes as well as previous. ie J Reinhold Prof Munch.

#352 Touchlamp wrote on March 05, 2006:

I noticed that also. I read some where that there was speculations that aired out of date. Maybe supposed to air as a back up finale. I don’t think I know what saying.
