Narrator: Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together. It’s Arrested Development.

Narrator: Michael was preparing for a meeting with the Bluth Company Board to determine what to do with some recently unfrozen funds.

Lindsay: Wow. Exciting, huh? Finally getting some money.

Michael: What do you want, Lindsay?

Lindsay: I’d like some of that money.

Michael: Well, this money is for land, okay? We’re not going to burn through it like Dad did when he was in charge with his bad investments and his corrupt dealings... Mother’s neck...

Lindsay: No, that was a good investment.

Michael: It is easier to look at now, isn’t it?

Vote: ***** / Average: 3.82 (34 votes)

Lindsay: What if I told you the money was for something really worthwhile?

Michael: Like what?

Lindsay: I want to have an affair. Now, I’m not sure with who yet, but I will need lingerie, waxings... these are some real costs, Michael.

Michael: I take it things aren’t getting better with Tobias?

Lindsay: What’s that supposed to mean?

Narrator: Things hadn’t been getting better with Michael’s sister and her husband, even after she came up with a plan to get his attention.

Tobias is reading “Acting: Like a Man”

Lindsay: Oh, my God, listen to the radio. I haven’t heard this since we first started dating. I just feel like using my body.

Tobias: Well, Lindsay, could you use it over there? I’m trying to grow.

Lindsay: Yeah. Well, it’s clear that’s not going to happen.

Michael: All right, look. This money is for land, okay? I’m not giving to give you money to go have an affair. Why don’t you pick something else to boost up your self-worth? How ’bout, uh, charity? Why don’t you get back to your roots?

Lindsay: It has been a while. All right. I’m going to go do that right now.

Michael: You’re going to get your hair done, aren’t you?

Lindsay: Well, if I’m going to have an affair...

Beeping.

Narrator: Michael got a message he intended to ignore...

Cell phone text: “From Lucille Bluth. Need money.”

Narrator: ... until he read the next line.

Cell phone text: “a matter of land”

Michael: A matter of land, Mom?

Lucille: Oh, that’s funny. I meant “a matter of ‘L’ and ‘D’.” Life and death.

Michael: What is the matter of life and death?

Lucille: Buster’s jaw clicks when he eats. I think it’s what’s driving his friends away. I sent him to Canada for an operation, so I’ll need some of that new money that just came in.

Michael: You know, Mom, if you want an operation that’s really going to help him you ought to have them finally cut that cord.

Lucille: He needs me.

Michael: He doesn’t need you. You coddle him. He’s too old to go running to Mommy with all his problems.

Lucille: I seem to remember a certain someone running to Mommy when his Algebra teacher made an example of him.

Narrator: Michael had been suspended when another boy cheated off his test.

Michael: ...Tracy won’t marry me, I won’t get a job...

Lucille: Shh-shh-shh-shh.

Michael: What is this? What’s happening?

Lucille: Let Mama take care of it. I’ll have a little chat with Mr. Vandenbosch.

Narrator: The next day, Mr. Vandenbosch was not in school. He was never heard from again.

Michael: I know life is not fair to women. Your children grow up and they don’t need you anymore.
