1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,500
Now the story of a wealthy family
who lost everything...
2
00:00:02,602 --> 00:00:04,593
and the one son
who had no choice...
3
00:00:04,704 --> 00:00:06,695
but to keep them all together.
4
00:00:12,212 --> 00:00:13,873
It's Arrested Development.
5
00:00:18,437 --> 00:00:21,764
Michael Bluth
had scheduled a meeting with Stan Sitwell...
6
00:00:21,799 --> 00:00:23,967
the Bluth Company's
chief competitor.
7
00:00:23,988 --> 00:00:26,047
Why are we having this meeting at home?
8
00:00:26,157 --> 00:00:29,957
Let him see he's not the only one
who builds solid houses, you know?
9
00:00:32,029 --> 00:00:34,759
I think he'll be pretty impressed,
knock on wood.
10
00:00:38,836 --> 00:00:43,296
In fact, Michael was meeting
at home at the behest ofhis fugitive father.
11
00:00:43,407 --> 00:00:45,204
...knock on wood.
12
00:00:45,309 --> 00:00:47,800
Don't you find the timing
of this meeting a little suspicious?
13
00:00:47,912 --> 00:00:51,211
Right before we play
his company in softball?
14
00:00:51,315 --> 00:00:54,284
No, no. Our business is in trouble,
and I think he sees an opportunity.
15
00:00:54,385 --> 00:00:57,354
So, I figured the guy's a family man,
why not invite him over...
16
00:00:57,455 --> 00:01:00,083
- let him see us in our element.
- I hope you don't mean the whole family...
17
00:01:00,191 --> 00:01:02,887
- 'cause George Michael's off with Ann.
- Ann?
18
00:01:02,993 --> 00:01:06,292
Hmm. That'll play well with Sitwell.
"Where's your son?" "He's out with Ann."
19
00:01:06,397 --> 00:01:09,264
"Who's Ann?" "Don't ask me,
I'm just the boy's father."
20
00:01:09,367 --> 00:01:11,835
Hey, screw Sitwell!
He comes in here telling us...
21
00:01:11,936 --> 00:01:15,599
how to build our houses,
how to raise our kids.
22
00:01:15,706 --> 00:01:18,072
We know what we're doing.
We don't need any help from him.
23
00:01:18,175 --> 00:01:21,804
Damn it. This thing got pushed in again.
24
00:01:21,912 --> 00:01:24,073
- Gonna need a butter knife.
- That's what I'm talking about.
25
00:01:24,181 --> 00:01:26,581
George Michael's got these powerful
little fingers. He should be here.
26
00:01:26,684 --> 00:01:29,482
How do you think I feel?
He said he would help me on this essay...
27
00:01:29,587 --> 00:01:32,556
- for The Old Man and the Sea.
- I'll help you with that later.
28
00:01:32,656 --> 00:01:36,820
Oh, great. Okay. So you have to
read this, and then explain it...
29
00:01:36,927 --> 00:01:39,418
and, this is important,
say it in my own words, okay?
30
00:01:39,530 --> 00:01:42,328
Smart, but not too smart.
Let's have a four-syllable max.
31
00:01:42,433 --> 00:01:45,368
Do you wanna say something
or should I, Tobias?
32
00:01:45,469 --> 00:01:48,097
No. I believe in letting children learn
from their mistakes, Michael.
33
00:01:48,205 --> 00:01:52,403
They make a mistake once,
they shan't make it twice.
34
00:01:52,510 --> 00:01:54,876
Oh, here I go!
35
00:01:54,979 --> 00:01:59,541
Don't worry. It has not fallen
into the garage. Knock on wood.
36
00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:03,778
You gonna want to help me with that?
37
00:02:03,888 --> 00:02:06,379
No, I can't.
I have an audition tomorrow.
38
00:02:06,490 --> 00:02:10,859
I'm up for a minor, but meaty, role
in a feature film.
39
00:02:10,961 --> 00:02:14,624
- "Confidence Man Two."
- Oh, yeah? I didn't see the first Confidence Man.
40
00:02:14,732 --> 00:02:17,326
No. Confidence Man Two
is my character.
41
00:02:17,435 --> 00:02:20,836
I think I'll drive up today
and plot my route to the studio.
42
00:02:20,938 --> 00:02:23,168
How 'bout I come with you?
I could help you prepare.
43
00:02:23,274 --> 00:02:27,711
Yes, well, it's for a con man, which
I don't think you know anything about.
44
00:02:27,812 --> 00:02:30,406
And besides, don't you have school?
45
00:02:30,514 --> 00:02:35,417
No. Um- Today is
"Help Your Dad Follow His Dream" day.
46
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:39,046
Great. We can take the carpool lane.
47
00:02:39,156 --> 00:02:42,148
- I need ice.
- I'm glad Sitwell's coming over.
48
00:02:42,259 --> 00:02:45,319
Let him see that
we're doing fine as a family.
49
00:02:45,429 --> 00:02:48,057
The only help we need
is from each other.
50
00:02:48,165 --> 00:02:50,793
- And apparently whatever's in that bottle.
- Thanks for reminding me.
51
00:02:50,901 --> 00:02:53,495
- My Teamocil.
- Wait a minute. Teamocil?
52
00:02:53,604 --> 00:02:57,096
Isn't that that supplement that you and Tobias
were hocking before the F.D.A. Shut you down?
53
00:02:57,208 --> 00:03:00,336
In the mid '90s,
Tobias formed a folk band...
54
00:03:00,444 --> 00:03:03,277
to promote a supplement
that promised better unity and teamwork.
55
00:03:03,380 --> 00:03:07,578
- Teamocil
- Teamocil may decrease your sex drive.
56
00:03:07,685 --> 00:03:10,347
- Teamocil
- Good job, buddy.
- Thanks, friend.
57
00:03:10,454 --> 00:03:13,981
Since I've been taking this again, I've been
getting along great with my husband.
58
00:03:14,091 --> 00:03:16,059
You're taking it for the side effect,
aren't you?
59
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,627
- Michael.
- Oh God.
60
00:03:17,728 --> 00:03:19,696
Mother, not a good time.
I'm having a meeting here.
61
00:03:19,797 --> 00:03:22,595
- Look at what Buster sent from the army.
- It's blacked out.
62
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:24,691
Oh, the government.
Keep reading.
63
00:03:24,802 --> 00:03:27,600
"Sergeant Blank is
treating me very blank...
64
00:03:27,705 --> 00:03:30,674
"and it looks like I'll be shipping off
to blank in about a blank.
65
00:03:30,774 --> 00:03:33,937
- I blank you, Mother. Buster."
- I've done everything I can.
66
00:03:34,044 --> 00:03:36,342
I even tried to convince them he's gay,
but no one would believe...
67
00:03:36,447 --> 00:03:38,472
that a woman like me
would have a gay son.
68
00:03:38,582 --> 00:03:41,380
Well, you certainly tried. You guys wore
matching outfits till he was 12.
69
00:03:41,485 --> 00:03:43,385
Even once on a magazine cover...
70
00:03:43,487 --> 00:03:46,149
that had been mocked
within the family for years.
71
00:03:46,257 --> 00:03:50,489
Lucille, l-I'll say it again. You never know
what's going to happen in the army.
72
00:03:50,594 --> 00:03:55,156
- Remember, Lucille?
- No, I don't.
73
00:03:55,266 --> 00:03:58,235
- Get me a vodka, rocks.
- Mom, it's breakfast.
74
00:03:58,335 --> 00:04:01,133
- And a piece of toast.
- Please, Stan Sitwell's coming over.
75
00:04:01,238 --> 00:04:05,004
That hairless freak is coming here?
None ofhis hair is real, you know.
76
00:04:05,109 --> 00:04:09,136
You mean the guy we're meeting with
can't even grow his own hair? Come on!
77
00:04:09,246 --> 00:04:12,875
It's called alopecia, and I'd appreciate it
if we could all be sensitive to it, okay?
78
00:04:12,983 --> 00:04:16,578
He happens to be
a very modest and generous man.
- Modest and generous?
79
00:04:16,687 --> 00:04:19,656
Then why is he always waving giant
$10 million checks over his head...
80
00:04:19,757 --> 00:04:23,215
- every time some-
- Go ahead, Mom. Finish your thought.
81
00:04:23,327 --> 00:04:26,353
"Every time some children's
hospital needs funding"?
82
00:04:26,463 --> 00:04:29,921
Nonetheless, we could get
a giant checkbook too.
83
00:04:30,034 --> 00:04:32,434
We're just not
that starved for attention.
84
00:04:34,204 --> 00:04:36,502
And later, Sitwell
laid out his plans.
85
00:04:36,607 --> 00:04:39,440
- Sorry that my son couldn't be here-
- Let me guess. Girlfriend.
86
00:04:39,543 --> 00:04:44,344
You know, it could be worse. He could
wanna marry your mother.
87
00:04:44,448 --> 00:04:46,882
Oh, I'm sorry. Is your family not
laughing at that yet?
88
00:04:46,984 --> 00:04:48,611
Okay. Let me tell you
what I'm offering.
89
00:04:48,719 --> 00:04:51,017
You got a wonderful piece of property
here that's going nowhere.
90
00:04:51,121 --> 00:04:53,919
So what I propose is a co-venture
with your Sudden Valley Development.
91
00:04:54,024 --> 00:04:56,652
The first thing you might
wanna change though is the name.
92
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,729
You know, Sudden Valley conjures up
the image of a sinkhole, no?
93
00:04:59,830 --> 00:05:02,628
I told that to Dad.
I told that to my dad.
94
00:05:02,733 --> 00:05:05,827
I'm thinking- Paradise Gardens.
95
00:05:05,936 --> 00:05:09,565
I swear to God, I have that written-
96
00:05:09,673 --> 00:05:12,665
I want you to see so you don't think-
I have that written down in my notebook.
97
00:05:12,776 --> 00:05:14,744
When George Sr. Was in charge...
98
00:05:14,845 --> 00:05:18,303
he had a habit of shooting down
any idea Michael came up with.
99
00:05:18,415 --> 00:05:23,045
And Sudden Valley just sort of implies that
something awful could happen all of a sudden.
100
00:05:23,153 --> 00:05:26,645
- Plus, it's on a hill.
- What are you taking, stupid pills? Come on.
101
00:05:26,757 --> 00:05:28,725
Save us some money.
102
00:05:28,826 --> 00:05:31,659
This was a management tool
that he used to keep Michael...
103
00:05:31,762 --> 00:05:35,323
- working for his approval.
- That was a hard one to say no to.
104
00:05:35,432 --> 00:05:38,060
The only thing I ask is
out of the 450 homes we build...
105
00:05:38,168 --> 00:05:40,659
one be given to a disadvantaged family
from the inner city.
106
00:05:40,771 --> 00:05:44,707
That's great. So the other
449 families live in fear?
107
00:05:44,808 --> 00:05:48,005
Is that what we're saying?
I mean, come on! Where's your decen-
108
00:05:48,112 --> 00:05:50,410
What the hell just fell off your face?
109
00:05:50,514 --> 00:05:53,506
- One of this guy's eyebrows fell in the candy beans.
- I always carry a spare.
110
00:05:53,617 --> 00:05:56,677
Well, I hope you also carry a spare bowl
of candy beans.
111
00:05:56,787 --> 00:05:58,778
Gob! I'm very impressed
with the offer.
112
00:05:58,889 --> 00:06:01,551
I'm gonna run it upstairs,
see what kind of reaction it gets.
113
00:06:01,659 --> 00:06:04,457
- Hmm?
- So to speak.
114
00:06:04,561 --> 00:06:08,053
- Michael hoped to impress his father.
- I think it sounds pretty good.
115
00:06:08,165 --> 00:06:11,157
Pretty good? It was horrible.
What are you taking, stupid pills again?
116
00:06:11,268 --> 00:06:14,362
But their old dynamic
returned when George Sr. Did.
117
00:06:14,471 --> 00:06:18,100
Gob was the only one down there
who knew how to handle that hairless freak.
118
00:06:18,208 --> 00:06:20,335
- Thank God we have Gob on our team.
- You know, Dad...
119
00:06:20,444 --> 00:06:23,242
Gob doesn't really do
all that much for our team.
120
00:06:23,347 --> 00:06:25,941
In fact, I think it's time
that I get put back in charge.
121
00:06:26,050 --> 00:06:28,450
Michael, listen to me.
Lately, your ideas, they're horrible.
122
00:06:28,552 --> 00:06:32,044
And Sitwell's just trying to
figure out our batting order...
123
00:06:32,156 --> 00:06:34,647
for the softball game
on Saturday, I'm telling you.
124
00:06:34,758 --> 00:06:37,249
Gob said the same thing, Dad,
but l-I doubt that this guy's...
125
00:06:37,361 --> 00:06:40,922
trying to drop $15 million
to find out our batting order.
126
00:06:41,031 --> 00:06:42,896
Hey. This game goes way, way back.
127
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,128
It was a fierce rivalry, with George Sr. Using...
128
00:06:46,236 --> 00:06:50,468
- everything at his disposal to win-
- No hair. Hey, we got no hair.
129
00:06:50,574 --> 00:06:55,238
While Stan Sitwell used the game
to raise funds for underprivileged children.
130
00:06:55,345 --> 00:06:59,406
- Oh, I think one of your orphans
is heading towards the street.
- Strike three.
131
00:06:59,516 --> 00:07:02,314
You go down there, and you tell him
to go screw himself...
132
00:07:02,419 --> 00:07:03,818
and apologize to your brother.
133
00:07:03,921 --> 00:07:06,355
We need him on our side,
and we need him happy.
134
00:07:06,490 --> 00:07:08,788
- Where's Sitwell?
- Sorry. I told him to screw off.
135
00:07:08,892 --> 00:07:11,861
- But get this, he offered me a job.
- What?
136
00:07:11,962 --> 00:07:14,931
Well, I'm not waiting
on my brother. I pass.
137
00:07:15,032 --> 00:07:18,524
- You look surprised.
- I'm sorry. I must've put it on too high.
138
00:07:18,635 --> 00:07:22,264
But you were right. It was a bad offer
and you were smart enough not to take it.
139
00:07:22,372 --> 00:07:25,671
You got gumption. You speak your mind. That
means you're good enough to work for me.
140
00:07:25,776 --> 00:07:27,437
you.
141
00:07:27,544 --> 00:07:30,172
And I accepted.
He's waiting for me outside.
142
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,512
We're gonna swing by his wigmaker.
His "just woke up" hair is finally ready.
143
00:07:34,618 --> 00:07:36,882
You're really gonna do this?
144
00:07:36,987 --> 00:07:41,287
It's ready, Mike. They're only
gonna hold it for 24 hours.
145
00:07:41,391 --> 00:07:45,350
Tobias and Maeby, meanwhile,
had mapped the route to the audition.
146
00:07:45,462 --> 00:07:48,920
Well, here we are
and home we go...
147
00:07:49,032 --> 00:07:52,365
with plenty of time
to get you to English class.
148
00:07:52,469 --> 00:07:54,528
Wait. You can't do
a U-turn on your dream.
149
00:07:54,638 --> 00:07:58,438
I say, we get you on the lot and get
the Fünke name out there.
150
00:07:58,542 --> 00:08:02,000
- Start talking you up around the watercoolers.
- Maeby, we'll never get on here.
151
00:08:02,112 --> 00:08:05,639
I mean, behind these walls
are the biggest stars in the world.
152
00:08:05,749 --> 00:08:08,377
America's treasures.
153
00:08:10,854 --> 00:08:14,813
- Damn it!
- Dad, you're auditioning for the part
of a confidence man.
154
00:08:14,925 --> 00:08:16,654
Let's try a little confidence.
155
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,354
You say confidence man?
Hey, I'm up for that part too.
156
00:08:19,463 --> 00:08:21,761
- Oh.
- Good luck to you.
157
00:08:21,865 --> 00:08:23,662
Good luck to you too.
158
00:08:23,767 --> 00:08:26,167
As Tobias was gaining
self-confidence...
159
00:08:26,270 --> 00:08:28,204
- Michael was struggling to keep his.
- Hi, Dad.
160
00:08:28,305 --> 00:08:31,001
- Wow, you're president again?
- Yes, this is the way it should be.
161
00:08:31,108 --> 00:08:33,770
What do you think of when you hear
the words, "Sudden Valley"?
162
00:08:33,877 --> 00:08:37,779
Salad dressing, I think. But for
some reason, I don't wanna eat it.
163
00:08:37,881 --> 00:08:42,784
- Right. But "Paradise Gardens."
- Yeah. Okay. I can see marinating a chicken in that.
164
00:08:42,886 --> 00:08:46,253
Um, I'm actually here about the softball game.
We need some girls on the team, right?
165
00:08:46,356 --> 00:08:48,187
Yes, we do.
That's a league requirement.
166
00:08:48,292 --> 00:08:51,193
One that was difficult to meet,
given Gob's behavior...
167
00:08:51,295 --> 00:08:53,627
in the third inning
oflast year's game.
168
00:08:53,730 --> 00:08:55,561
We could stay here,
wait for another pop-up.
169
00:08:55,666 --> 00:08:58,931
- And in the fifth inning.
- Come on! Yeah, here we go!
170
00:08:59,036 --> 00:09:01,368
Oh, and before the game.
171
00:09:04,074 --> 00:09:07,043
We lost our entire outfield
and a couple of court cases.
172
00:09:07,144 --> 00:09:10,545
Well, you know who would be great
and not at all litigious is Ann.
173
00:09:10,647 --> 00:09:13,207
- Mmm, not Ann.
- No?
174
00:09:13,317 --> 00:09:17,117
'Cause you know this-this
game is kind of our thing.
175
00:09:17,221 --> 00:09:19,485
But Ann's amazing.
You know, she could play my position.
176
00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:23,458
You should be playing the field...
there, in right, you know?
177
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:26,825
Plus, I got Aunt Lindsay playing this year.
I can't very well pull her off the roster.
178
00:09:26,930 --> 00:09:31,424
Let's make Ann the backup, okay? Very good
way to think about her... as a backup.
179
00:09:31,535 --> 00:09:33,332
- She's gonna be so excited.
- Good.
180
00:09:33,437 --> 00:09:37,237
- Maybe-Maybe now I'll get a kiss.
- Okay.
181
00:09:37,341 --> 00:09:41,505
Oh. I meant from Ann.
182
00:09:42,813 --> 00:09:45,748
Yes, I know.
I just want to get in there first.
183
00:09:45,849 --> 00:09:48,647
Okay.
184
00:09:50,888 --> 00:09:53,686
Lindsay, wake up. I need you
to play on the softball team this year.
185
00:09:53,790 --> 00:09:56,918
Lindsay felt the intended effect of Teamocil-
186
00:09:57,027 --> 00:10:00,656
- a sense of camaraderie.
- Count me in, Michael. Happy to help the team.
187
00:10:04,134 --> 00:10:06,762
- Great news. I'm back.
- You just left.
188
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:08,997
Yeah, I don't think
things are gonna work out with Sitwell.
189
00:10:09,106 --> 00:10:12,075
I mean, we picked up his sleepy-head wig,
everything was cool.
190
00:10:12,175 --> 00:10:14,700
Next thing I know, he's asking me
for a bunch of work ideas.
191
00:10:14,811 --> 00:10:18,872
So, I thought I'd just quit
and go back to being president here.
192
00:10:18,982 --> 00:10:22,543
I need to do this job, okay?
I need to prove that I can do this job.
193
00:10:22,653 --> 00:10:27,283
- To who?
- To... you.
194
00:10:27,391 --> 00:10:31,452
Michael, I'm your big brother.
I'll never be impressed with you.
195
00:10:31,561 --> 00:10:33,529
- Still.
- Anyway, look. You can still do it.
196
00:10:33,630 --> 00:10:38,192
I just want the office
and my stuffs and title.
197
00:10:38,302 --> 00:10:43,467
What about... if I help you with
your work over at Sitwell?
198
00:10:43,573 --> 00:10:46,133
- You'd do that?
- Sure.
199
00:10:46,243 --> 00:10:48,677
You really want me
to succeed at Sitwell.
200
00:10:48,779 --> 00:10:54,411
Well, I just- Hey. Come on. I really want
you to be over at Sitwell.
201
00:10:56,903 --> 00:11:02,136
Lucille was worried that her son
Buster was being sent into battle with the army.
202
00:11:02,242 --> 00:11:05,370
I feel that we've not brought
something up that might be a solution...
203
00:11:05,478 --> 00:11:08,038
um, to spare my feelings.
204
00:11:08,148 --> 00:11:11,606
Send you in his place? I called.
They don't want you back.
205
00:11:11,718 --> 00:11:16,348
Oscar had served in Vietnam
as a croc spotter on a Swift boat.
206
00:11:16,456 --> 00:11:18,686
Croc! No, Sorry. Wait. Log.
207
00:11:18,792 --> 00:11:20,760
Just a log.
No, wait. Sorry. Croc!
208
00:11:20,861 --> 00:11:25,161
It was there that he met
a young U.S.O. Dancer named Lucille.
209
00:11:25,265 --> 00:11:27,130
I prefer an older man.
210
00:11:27,234 --> 00:11:31,830
- Hey, I'm free after the show.
- I said older, Bob, not dead.
211
00:11:33,673 --> 00:11:36,801
I swore I'd never
say his name again, but...
212
00:11:36,910 --> 00:11:39,572
it's time to call you-know-who.
213
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,809
"You-know-who"was
an army sergeant named Bill Anderson.
214
00:11:43,917 --> 00:11:48,650
He and Lucille were an item
before she left him for Oscar.
215
00:11:48,755 --> 00:11:53,556
At the studio, Tobias began to
create buzz around the watercooler.
216
00:11:53,660 --> 00:11:55,651
That Fünke is some kind of something.
217
00:11:55,762 --> 00:11:58,026
Boy, this Fünke is all anybody's
ever talking about.
218
00:11:58,131 --> 00:12:01,464
So sick and tired of hearing about
how brilliant that Fünke is.
219
00:12:01,568 --> 00:12:05,629
Overrated.
I'll just move- I'm sorry.
220
00:12:05,739 --> 00:12:08,264
Okay. We're okay. Okay.
221
00:12:08,375 --> 00:12:12,004
Meanwhile, Maeby looked for
an empty office to call George Michael.
222
00:12:12,112 --> 00:12:16,208
Where are you? I bought you a day.
I can't put this book report off forever.
223
00:12:16,316 --> 00:12:18,511
Sorry, is this your office?
224
00:12:18,618 --> 00:12:22,145
No. I'm just sitting behind someone else's
desk pretending these are my kids.
225
00:12:22,255 --> 00:12:25,281
Can you getJude Law
in here for a meeting?
226
00:12:25,392 --> 00:12:27,451
- Oh, I'm just a reader.
- A reader?
227
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:31,189
- Yeah.
- I need a report by tomorrow.
228
00:12:31,298 --> 00:12:35,928
Before gym-lunch...
with Jim... Carrey.
229
00:12:36,036 --> 00:12:38,300
It's the Grinch guy.
You're too young.
230
00:12:42,242 --> 00:12:46,042
So get this.
Sitwell loved my ideas.
231
00:12:46,146 --> 00:12:49,115
Well, my ideas and I knew it.
That's great.
232
00:12:49,215 --> 00:12:52,013
- You know, Dad never complimented any of those.
- Here's the thing.
233
00:12:52,118 --> 00:12:55,986
- I need more.
- There were 34 proposals in there.
234
00:12:56,089 --> 00:12:58,819
You'd be amazed how fast they come out
when you read them all in a row.
235
00:12:58,925 --> 00:13:03,055
"Thirty-one, bamboo floor upgrades.
Cheaper, stronger." I can't read this word.
236
00:13:03,163 --> 00:13:06,098
"Thirty-two, wireless 'crapability."'
That one explains itself.
237
00:13:06,199 --> 00:13:08,497
- "Thirty-three"-
- Gob, that was six-months' worth of work.
238
00:13:08,601 --> 00:13:10,569
- You can't just blurt them all out at once.
- Mr. Bluth.
239
00:13:10,670 --> 00:13:13,901
- He's coming. I've got to go.
- You blew them away.
240
00:13:14,007 --> 00:13:17,807
Bought you something. Maybe
we can play catch sometime.
241
00:13:17,911 --> 00:13:21,210
Gob's own father had only
once played catch with him.
242
00:13:21,314 --> 00:13:25,410
And it ended as badly
as any game of catch could end.
243
00:13:25,518 --> 00:13:28,646
- White power!
- Better yet, maybe we can play ball on Saturday.
244
00:13:28,755 --> 00:13:31,724
I'll meet you there.
I've got a neck hair fitting at 11:00.
245
00:13:31,825 --> 00:13:36,785
Gob was both angry...
and overwhelmed...
246
00:13:36,896 --> 00:13:40,024
by the approval
from this new father figure.
247
00:13:40,133 --> 00:13:43,193
It was confusing.
248
00:13:43,303 --> 00:13:46,204
Michael was less torn
and went to brag to his father.
249
00:13:46,306 --> 00:13:51,039
So, apparently my ideas aren't so bad,
and that comes from Sitwell himself.
250
00:13:51,144 --> 00:13:54,875
- You let your ideas go to Sitwell?
- Uh, no. I gave them to Gob...
251
00:13:54,981 --> 00:13:58,712
who, uh, works there now.
252
00:13:58,818 --> 00:14:00,786
You let Gob go to Sitwell?
253
00:14:00,887 --> 00:14:03,185
- What'd I tell you? I told you-
- "Don't let him go." I know.
254
00:14:03,289 --> 00:14:06,224
- But my point is that I do all the work, Pop.
- He makes all the plays.
255
00:14:06,326 --> 00:14:08,658
Don't you understand? He was the best
softball player in the league.
256
00:14:08,762 --> 00:14:13,893
Gob was especially gifted
at sacrificing his body for the play.
257
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,128
- Play's at second. Play's at second.
- Yeah! Suck on that, Sitwell.
258
00:14:17,237 --> 00:14:19,728
Although at times,
even that wasn't enough.
259
00:14:19,839 --> 00:14:22,672
Your Tweety Bird dance
just cost us a run, you moron.
260
00:14:22,776 --> 00:14:25,006
Why do you think
Sitwell hired him?
261
00:14:25,111 --> 00:14:28,478
You can't do this. You're gonna lose the game,
the company, and you can't do this.
262
00:14:28,581 --> 00:14:31,573
What are you saying? If I win the game,
you're comfortable with me running the company?
263
00:14:31,684 --> 00:14:33,811
- That's what I'm saying.
- I'll win the game.
264
00:14:33,953 --> 00:14:37,184
And I'll show him that
his little plan didn't work, all right?
265
00:14:37,290 --> 00:14:40,919
- We can build houses. We can win games.
- That is what I wanna hear.
266
00:14:41,027 --> 00:14:45,088
We can win games.
267
00:14:46,699 --> 00:14:50,601
Lindsay, did that oven vent hit you?
Your foot is bleeding.
268
00:14:50,703 --> 00:14:54,298
My foot is bleeding.
- Teamocil may cause
numbness of the extremities.
269
00:14:54,407 --> 00:14:56,375
You're gonna be able
to play on our team, right?
270
00:14:56,476 --> 00:14:59,775
- Why do you think I'm taking Teamocil?
- To curb your sex drive.
271
00:14:59,879 --> 00:15:01,779
That's right. What team
are you talking about?
272
00:15:01,881 --> 00:15:05,476
It may also cause
short-term memory loss.
273
00:15:05,585 --> 00:15:08,281
Okay. Looks like I'm gonna need
that female backup player after all.
274
00:15:08,388 --> 00:15:11,323
- And Ann's really good at softball, huh?
- Yeah. She's amazing.
275
00:15:11,424 --> 00:15:14,018
You know, she's got this low center
of gravity. You can't knock her over.
276
00:15:14,127 --> 00:15:16,857
- Well, I could knock her over.
- Dad, I'm telling you, you can't.
277
00:15:16,963 --> 00:15:19,193
They call her "The Wall,"
you know?
278
00:15:19,299 --> 00:15:23,463
Well, that's great. But I could
knock her over. I won't, but I could.
279
00:15:23,570 --> 00:15:26,198
- And Lucille called on an old lover.
- William?
280
00:15:26,306 --> 00:15:28,740
- Yes, ma'am?
- You don't remember me?
281
00:15:28,842 --> 00:15:32,972
General Anderson had done
three tours of duty in Vietnam...
282
00:15:33,079 --> 00:15:38,039
- but the only memory he'd blocked
was being left by Lucille.
- Oh, God. That touch.
283
00:15:38,151 --> 00:15:42,019
- Oh, how could I forget? Pat?
- Lucille.
284
00:15:42,122 --> 00:15:44,989
I could never forget that touch.
285
00:15:45,091 --> 00:15:48,822
Bill, they're shipping my son Buster off.
I can't have that happen.
286
00:15:48,928 --> 00:15:53,228
- I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do.
- Is there anything I can do?
287
00:15:54,534 --> 00:15:59,597
Maybe if you... go downtown.
288
00:15:59,706 --> 00:16:03,574
Oh, I haven't done that in 30 years.
289
00:16:14,053 --> 00:16:16,783
You make me want to puke, Bluth!
290
00:16:16,890 --> 00:16:19,688
And so, Buster was pulled out
of combat training-
291
00:16:19,792 --> 00:16:24,354
- Put 'em down and halt!
- and put into U.S.O. Training.
292
00:16:27,734 --> 00:16:31,693
- It jolts, but it's not really doing it right now.
- And back at Gob's new office.
293
00:16:31,804 --> 00:16:33,601
- Michael.
- Do you still need those ideas?
294
00:16:33,706 --> 00:16:36,539
Come on. Are you kidding me?
I can't let Sitwell down.
295
00:16:36,643 --> 00:16:40,204
- L-I'm desperate here.
- Then I'll make you a deal.
296
00:16:40,313 --> 00:16:44,306
- I want you to throw the softball game.
- Never!
297
00:16:44,417 --> 00:16:47,079
- He gave me this.
- Course he did. Why do you think he hired you?
298
00:16:47,187 --> 00:16:50,054
He liked my ideas.
299
00:16:50,156 --> 00:16:52,056
They were my ideas,
and, no, he didn't.
300
00:16:52,158 --> 00:16:55,889
He wants you for the softball game because
he's trying to make our family look foolish.
301
00:16:55,995 --> 00:17:00,830
I knew you had bad ideas.
All right, we'll play him.
302
00:17:00,934 --> 00:17:03,562
I'll throw that softball game.
303
00:17:03,670 --> 00:17:06,901
Nobody makes a fool of
our family without my help.
304
00:17:11,462 --> 00:17:15,694
Tobias had talked up the name
Fünke, and it was time to audition.
305
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,530
- What's your name?
- Tobias.
306
00:17:18,636 --> 00:17:20,661
He's too short. Give it to the guard.
307
00:17:20,772 --> 00:17:26,108
Oh. L- I'm not. L-
On camera, I seem much taller.
308
00:17:26,210 --> 00:17:29,509
And Maeby picked up the reader's report,
which had now become her book report.
309
00:17:29,614 --> 00:17:32,310
- Whatcha got there?
- I can't really discuss it.
310
00:17:32,417 --> 00:17:34,817
If you wanna get it made,
I'm the guy who has to see it.
311
00:17:34,919 --> 00:17:38,548
You're the Fünke everyone's talking about?
What are you, like, 15?
312
00:17:38,656 --> 00:17:42,524
- Marry me.
- Everyone thinks I look young too.
313
00:17:42,627 --> 00:17:45,619
- So who are you thinking about?
- Jude Law. Why do you ask?
314
00:17:45,730 --> 00:17:48,198
Yeah. Go young. Young Guy and the Sea.
Big spring-breaker.
315
00:17:48,299 --> 00:17:51,291
Four C.G.I. The fish.
Let's fast-track this one.
316
00:17:51,402 --> 00:17:54,803
And that's when Maeby realized
she had become a successful film executive.
317
00:17:54,906 --> 00:17:57,067
- It's all waxed up.
- All waxed up? What do you mean?
318
00:17:57,175 --> 00:18:00,167
- I need something. Ajob for my dad.
- Yeah, yeah. Sure. Okay.
319
00:18:00,278 --> 00:18:03,645
Listen to me.
Brand new cars don't get waxed!
320
00:18:03,748 --> 00:18:06,216
That afternoon it was game time...
321
00:18:06,317 --> 00:18:08,808
and Michael felt confident
about a Bluth win.
322
00:18:11,322 --> 00:18:13,552
Spin, spin, spin.
323
00:18:13,658 --> 00:18:18,391
Ann wasn't as amazing as
George Michael led his father to believe.
324
00:18:19,464 --> 00:18:21,659
But Gob was playing
worse than ever...
325
00:18:21,766 --> 00:18:24,667
as per his agreement with Michael.
326
00:18:32,109 --> 00:18:35,442
Your guy can't hit, Sitwell.
He's never gonna touch it.
327
00:18:35,546 --> 00:18:37,605
- Time out.
- Time out.
328
00:18:37,715 --> 00:18:39,842
Gob, are you okay?
329
00:18:39,951 --> 00:18:42,749
Yeah, just can't hit today.
Guess you're really disappointed in me.
330
00:18:42,854 --> 00:18:46,017
Hey. Everybody has days like this.
It's only a game.
331
00:18:46,123 --> 00:18:49,183
After that list of ideas you gave me,
I don't care if you blow the whole season.
332
00:18:49,293 --> 00:18:52,023
Come here, you.
333
00:18:53,431 --> 00:18:55,194
Okay. We're good.
334
00:18:55,299 --> 00:18:59,258
And Gob finally felt
that someone believed in him.
335
00:18:59,370 --> 00:19:03,033
Even though they weren't his ideas.
336
00:19:03,140 --> 00:19:05,768
And he decided
to make Sitwell proud.
337
00:19:08,913 --> 00:19:11,040
Get on that ball!
338
00:19:13,384 --> 00:19:15,875
You go!
339
00:19:15,987 --> 00:19:17,887
You better pull an ankle or something.
340
00:19:17,989 --> 00:19:19,889
Come on, George Michael!
Get that ball in there!
341
00:19:19,991 --> 00:19:22,050
Then he went headfirst into The Wall.
342
00:19:22,159 --> 00:19:24,127
- I'm safe.
- You're out!
343
00:19:24,228 --> 00:19:27,561
Out? I was safe! I'm safe!
344
00:19:27,665 --> 00:19:30,725
- Stop with the Tweety Bird dance, you moron.
- Dad?
345
00:19:30,835 --> 00:19:33,167
He made the call. You're out.
What are you doing?
346
00:19:33,271 --> 00:19:35,068
- Shush, shush, shush.
- Dad?
347
00:19:35,172 --> 00:19:37,572
- He's safe.
- What the hell are you doing here?
348
00:19:37,675 --> 00:19:40,769
I'm taking care of what you
screwed up. You blew it again, Michael.
349
00:19:40,878 --> 00:19:45,247
Let me tell you something. I blew it when
I let you start controlling me again.
350
00:19:45,349 --> 00:19:47,249
I even stooped to cheat here
at a softball game.
351
00:19:47,351 --> 00:19:49,751
You've been talking to each other.
How come nobody called me?
352
00:19:49,854 --> 00:19:53,153
- What's going on there?
- I'm just fixing something that's been bugging me.
353
00:19:53,257 --> 00:19:55,851
He was safe.
354
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,589
He was. We lost.
Get over it.
355
00:19:59,697 --> 00:20:03,189
Yeah, and Stan Sitwell liked my ideas.
He really believed in me.
356
00:20:03,301 --> 00:20:05,098
- My ideas.
- Well.
357
00:20:05,202 --> 00:20:08,103
And I'm president, whether
you like it or not, Dad.
358
00:20:08,205 --> 00:20:10,332
I don't need your approval anymore.
359
00:20:11,909 --> 00:20:15,208
- I'm proud of you.
- Really?
360
00:20:15,313 --> 00:20:17,406
Yeah. See ya.
361
00:20:20,418 --> 00:20:22,943
Michael, I could've sworn
I just saw Dad.
362
00:20:23,054 --> 00:20:26,455
Or not. I think hallucination
is one of the side-effects ofTeamocil.
363
00:20:26,557 --> 00:20:28,684
It isn't.
364
00:20:28,793 --> 00:20:31,091
- Thanks for making the right call there, Mike.
- Yeah.
365
00:20:31,195 --> 00:20:34,323
- Sorry I didn't blow the game.
- No. You did the right thing...
366
00:20:34,432 --> 00:20:36,992
and you finally got Dad
to one of your ball games.
367
00:20:37,101 --> 00:20:39,729
- Screw him.
- Yeah.
368
00:20:39,837 --> 00:20:43,500
I miss him so much.
369
00:20:43,608 --> 00:20:46,372
On the next
Arrested Development.
370
00:20:46,477 --> 00:20:49,674
- Maeby gets her father a job.
- I gotta fire one of ya.
371
00:20:49,780 --> 00:20:52,476
Andy Richter! Here are those head shots
I was telling you about.
372
00:20:52,583 --> 00:20:56,041
- Yeah. I gotta go.
- It's Tobias Fünke. I told you about the head shots?
373
00:20:56,153 --> 00:20:58,644
And Buster visits the general.
374
00:20:58,756 --> 00:21:01,156
I just wanted to thank you for my new job.
375
00:21:01,258 --> 00:21:04,819
- What's wrong?
- I'm shipping out tomorrow.
376
00:21:04,929 --> 00:21:10,663
- I've got just the thing.
- Oh. I haven't felt hands like that in years.
377
00:21:10,768 --> 00:21:13,703
You are coming to the front.
