Quotes 

• Lucille Bluth : And guess what else is back?

  [Lucille winks] 

  Michael Bluth : My breakfast?

  Lucille Bluth : My friskiness. Mama horny, Michael.

  Michael Bluth : No, it's my breakfast. I'm amazed Dad hasn't strangled himself with his belt yet.

  Lucille Bluth : Oh, we're into all kinds of freaky stuff.

  Michael Bluth : Why do I eat breakfast before I come here?

• Michael : [while Lindsay, George Sr., and Lucille are all doing chicken dances]  Has anyone in this family ever even seen a chicken?

• Michael : Maybe it's time you went out there and got yourself a girl... PET!

  Buster : How about a turtle? I love those leathery little snappy faces.

  Michael : You certainly have a type.

• George Sr. : [talking about his house arrest]  You gotta get me out of here.

  Michael Bluth : You're the one that said "no" to prison.

  George Sr. : I was wrong. There you just had to shut your eyes and take it. Here, you have to shut your eyes and give it.

• Michael Bluth : I knew you wouldn't have the guts to go through with the divorce.

  Lindsay Funke : You're one to talk. You haven't had a serious relationship since your wife. And you guys weren't even speaking toward the end.

  Michael Bluth : Lot of that was the coma.

  Lindsay Funke : Yeah, I've heard your side of it.

• George Sr. : You didn't hear, we lost Andy.

  Michael : What? What are you talking about? He didn't like his trailer?

  Lindsay Funke : He thought we were making fun of him.

  Narrator : [the camera pans over to reveal the log cabin truck]  No one was making fun of Andy Griffith. I can't emphasize that enough.

• Gob : [after learning that George Sr. has been placed under house arrest]  It wont be too long until dad strangles himself with his belt.

  Michael : No, it turns out that they're into that.

• Gob : My God. What is this feeling?

  Michael Bluth : You know, the feeling that you're, that you're feeling, it's just what many of us call a feeling.

  Gob : It's not like envy. Or even hungry.

  Michael Bluth : Could it be love?

  Gob : I know what an erection feels like, Michael.

• Gob : So you came back here to hide like a child.

  Michael Bluth : What are you doing locked in my office, exactly?

  Gob : Hiding FROM a child. Big difference.

• Gob : The illusion is called "Free Bird." A magical bird--me in a beak--stands on a platform. There's a puff of smoke, then I'm gone. Then seconds later, high above in a once-empty cage, who should appear?

  Lucille Bluth : A guy that kind of looks like you?

  Gob : No... Not how I do the trick. Even if it was, how'd the look-alike get up there?

  Michael Bluth : He was hiding behind this mirror here?

  Gob : No!
