1
00:00:02,523 --> 00:00:04,423
Now the story of a wealthy family
who lost everything...

2
00:00:04,525 --> 00:00:06,516
and the one son
who had no choice...

3
00:00:06,627 --> 00:00:08,618
but to keep them all together.

4
00:00:14,135 --> 00:00:15,796
It's Arrested Development.

5
00:00:19,306 --> 00:00:22,070
Michael Bluth
had scheduled a meeting with Stan Sitwell...

6
00:00:22,176 --> 00:00:24,610
the Bluth Company's
chief competitor.

7
00:00:24,712 --> 00:00:26,771
Why are we having this meeting at home?

8
00:00:26,881 --> 00:00:30,681
Let him see he's not the only one
who builds solid houses, you know?

9
00:00:32,753 --> 00:00:35,483
I think he'll be pretty impressed,
knock on wood.

10
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,020
In fact, Michael was meeting
at home at the behest of his fugitive father.

11
00:00:44,131 --> 00:00:45,928
knock on wood.

12
00:00:46,033 --> 00:00:48,524
Don't you find the timing
of this meeting a little suspicious?

13
00:00:48,636 --> 00:00:51,935
Right before we play
his company in softball?

14
00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:55,008
No, no. Our business is in trouble,
and I think he sees an opportunity.

15
00:00:55,109 --> 00:00:58,078
So, I figured the guy's a family man,
why not invite him over...

16
00:00:58,179 --> 00:01:00,807
- let him see us in our element.
- I hope you don't mean the whole family...

17
00:01:00,915 --> 00:01:03,611
- 'cause George Michael's off with Ann.
- Ann?

18
00:01:03,717 --> 00:01:07,016
Hmm. That'll play well with Sitwell.
"Where's your son?"He's out with Ann."

19
00:01:07,121 --> 00:01:09,988
"Who's Ann?"Don't ask me,
I'm just the boy's father."

20
00:01:10,091 --> 00:01:12,559
Hey, screw Sitwell!
He comes in here telling us...

21
00:01:12,660 --> 00:01:16,323
how to build our houses,
how to raise our kids.

22
00:01:16,430 --> 00:01:18,796
We know what we're doing.
We don't need any help from him.

23
00:01:18,899 --> 00:01:22,528
- Damn it. This thing got pushed in again.

24
00:01:22,636 --> 00:01:24,797
- Gonna need a butter knife.
- That's what I'm talking about.

25
00:01:24,905 --> 00:01:27,305
George Michael's got these powerful
little fingers. He should be here.

26
00:01:27,408 --> 00:01:30,206
How do you think I feel?
He said he would help me on this essay...

27
00:01:30,311 --> 00:01:33,280
- for The Old Man and the Sea.
- I'll help you with that later.

28
00:01:33,380 --> 00:01:37,544
Oh, great. Okay. So you have to
read this, and then explain it...

29
00:01:37,651 --> 00:01:40,142
and, this is important,
say it in my own words, okay?

30
00:01:40,254 --> 00:01:43,052
Smart, but not too smart.
Let's have a four-syllable max.

31
00:01:43,157 --> 00:01:46,092
Do you wanna say something
or should I, Tobias?

32
00:01:46,193 --> 00:01:48,821
No. I believe in letting children learn
from their mistakes, Michael.

33
00:01:48,929 --> 00:01:53,127
They make a mistake once,
they shan't make it twice.

34
00:01:53,234 --> 00:01:55,600
Oh, here I go!

35
00:01:55,703 --> 00:02:00,265
Don't worry. It has not fallen
into the garage. Knock on wood.

36
00:02:02,443 --> 00:02:04,502
- You gonna want to help me with that?

37
00:02:04,612 --> 00:02:07,103
No, I can't.
I have an audition tomorrow.

38
00:02:07,214 --> 00:02:11,583
I'm up for a minor, but meaty, role
in a feature film.

39
00:02:11,685 --> 00:02:15,348
- "Confidence Man Two."
- Oh, yeah? I didn't see the first Confidence Man.

40
00:02:15,456 --> 00:02:18,050
No. Confidence Man Two
is my character.

41
00:02:18,159 --> 00:02:21,560
I think I'll drive up today
and plot my route to the studio.

42
00:02:21,662 --> 00:02:23,892
How 'bout I come with you?
I could help you prepare.

43
00:02:23,998 --> 00:02:28,435
Yes, well, it's for a con man, which
I don't think you know anything about.

44
00:02:28,536 --> 00:02:31,130
And besides, don't you have school?

45
00:02:31,238 --> 00:02:36,141
No. Um- Today is
"Help Your Dad Follow His Dream" day.

46
00:02:36,243 --> 00:02:39,770
Great. We can take the carpool lane.

47
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,872
- I need ice.
- I'm glad Sitwell's coming over.

48
00:02:42,983 --> 00:02:46,043
Let him see that
we're doing fine as a family.

49
00:02:46,153 --> 00:02:48,781
The only help we need
is from each other.

50
00:02:48,889 --> 00:02:51,517
- And apparently whatever's in that bottle.
- Thanks for reminding me.

51
00:02:51,625 --> 00:02:54,219
- My Teamocil.
- Wait a minute. Teamocil?

52
00:02:54,328 --> 00:02:57,820
Isn't that that supplement that you and Tobias
were hocking before the F.D.A. Shut you down?

53
00:02:57,932 --> 00:03:01,060
In the mid '90s,
Tobias formed a folk band...

54
00:03:01,168 --> 00:03:04,001
to promote a supplement
that promised better unity and teamwork.

55
00:03:04,104 --> 00:03:08,302
- Teamocil
- Teamocil may decrease your sex drive.

56
00:03:08,409 --> 00:03:11,071
- Teamocil
- Good job, buddy.
- Thanks, friend.

57
00:03:11,178 --> 00:03:14,705
Since I've been taking this again, I've been
getting along great with my husband.

58
00:03:14,815 --> 00:03:16,783
You're taking it for the side effect,
aren't you?

59
00:03:16,884 --> 00:03:18,351
- Michael.
- Oh God.

60
00:03:18,452 --> 00:03:20,420
Mother, not a good time.
I'm having a meeting here.

61
00:03:20,521 --> 00:03:23,319
- Look at what Buster sent from the army.
- It's blacked out.

62
00:03:23,424 --> 00:03:25,415
Oh, the government.
Keep reading.

63
00:03:25,526 --> 00:03:28,324
"Sergeant Blank is
treating me very blank...

64
00:03:28,429 --> 00:03:31,398
"and it looks like I'll be shipping off
to blank in about a blank.

65
00:03:31,498 --> 00:03:34,661
- I blank you, Mother. Buster."
- I've done everything I can.

66
00:03:34,768 --> 00:03:37,066
I even tried to convince them he's gay,
but no one would believe...

67
00:03:37,171 --> 00:03:39,196
that a woman like me
would have a gay son.

68
00:03:39,306 --> 00:03:42,104
Well, you certainly tried. You guys wore
matching outfits till he was 12.

69
00:03:42,209 --> 00:03:44,109
Even once on a magazine cover...

70
00:03:44,211 --> 00:03:46,873
that had been mocked
within the family for years.

71
00:03:46,981 --> 00:03:51,213
Lucille, l-I'll say it again. You never know
what's going to happen in the army.

72
00:03:51,318 --> 00:03:55,880
- Remember, Lucille?
- No, I don't.

73
00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:58,959
- Get me a vodka, rocks.
- Mom, it's breakfast.

74
00:03:59,059 --> 00:04:01,857
- And a piece of toast.
- Please, Stan Sitwell's coming over.

75
00:04:01,962 --> 00:04:05,728
That hairless freak is coming here?
None of his hair is real, you know.

76
00:04:05,833 --> 00:04:09,860
You mean the guy we're meeting with
can't even grow his own hair? Come on!

77
00:04:09,970 --> 00:04:13,599
It's called alopecia, and I'd appreciate it
if we could all be sensitive to it, okay?

78
00:04:13,707 --> 00:04:17,302
- He happens to be
a very modest and generous man.
- Modest and generous?

79
00:04:17,411 --> 00:04:20,380
Then why is he always waving giant
$10 million checks over his head...

80
00:04:20,481 --> 00:04:23,939
- every time some-
- Go ahead, Mom. Finish your thought.

81
00:04:24,051 --> 00:04:27,077
"Every time some children's
hospital needs funding"?

82
00:04:27,187 --> 00:04:30,645
Nonetheless, we could get
a giant checkbook too.

83
00:04:30,758 --> 00:04:33,158
We're just not
that starved for attention.

84
00:04:34,928 --> 00:04:37,226
And later, Sitwell
laid out his plans.

85
00:04:37,331 --> 00:04:40,164
- Sorry that my son couldn't be here-
- Let me guess. Girlfriend.

86
00:04:40,267 --> 00:04:45,068
You know, it could be worse. He could
wanna marry your mother.

87
00:04:45,172 --> 00:04:47,606
Oh, I'm sorry. Is your family not
laughing at that yet?

88
00:04:47,708 --> 00:04:49,335
Okay. Let me tell you
what I'm offering.

89
00:04:49,443 --> 00:04:51,741
You got a wonderful piece of property
here that's going nowhere.

90
00:04:51,845 --> 00:04:54,643
So what I propose is a co-venture
with your Sudden Valley Development.

91
00:04:54,748 --> 00:04:57,376
The first thing you might
wanna change though is the name.

92
00:04:57,484 --> 00:05:00,453
You know, Sudden Valley conjures up
the image of a sinkhole, no?

93
00:05:00,554 --> 00:05:03,352
I told that to Dad.
I told that to my dad.

94
00:05:03,457 --> 00:05:06,551
I'm thinking- Paradise Gardens.

95
00:05:06,660 --> 00:05:10,289
- I swear to God, I have that written-

96
00:05:10,397 --> 00:05:13,389
I want you to see so you don't think-
I have that written down in my notebook.

97
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:15,468
When George Sr. Was in charge...

98
00:05:15,569 --> 00:05:19,027
he had a habit of shooting down
any idea Michael came up with.

99
00:05:19,139 --> 00:05:23,769
And Sudden Valley just sort of implies that
something awful could happen all of a sudden.

100
00:05:23,877 --> 00:05:27,369
- Plus, it's on a hill.
- What are you taking, stupid pills? Come on.

101
00:05:27,481 --> 00:05:29,449
Save us some money.

102
00:05:29,550 --> 00:05:32,383
This was a management tool
that he used to keep Michael...

103
00:05:32,486 --> 00:05:36,047
- working for his approval.
- That was a hard one to say no to.

104
00:05:36,156 --> 00:05:38,784
The only thing I ask is
out of the 450 homes we build...

105
00:05:38,892 --> 00:05:41,383
one be given to a disadvantaged family
from the inner city.

106
00:05:41,495 --> 00:05:45,431
That's great. So the other
449 families live in fear?

107
00:05:45,532 --> 00:05:48,729
Is that what we're saying?
I mean, come on! Where's your decen-

108
00:05:48,836 --> 00:05:51,134
What the hell just fell off your face?

109
00:05:51,238 --> 00:05:54,230
- One of this guy's eyebrows fell in the candy beans.
- I always carry a spare.

110
00:05:54,341 --> 00:05:57,401
Well, I hope you also carry a spare bowl
of candy beans.

111
00:05:57,511 --> 00:05:59,502
Gob! I'm very impressed
with the offer.

112
00:05:59,613 --> 00:06:02,275
I'm gonna run it upstairs,
see what kind of reaction it gets.

113
00:06:02,383 --> 00:06:05,181
- Hmm?
- So to speak.

114
00:06:05,285 --> 00:06:08,777
- Michael hoped to impress his father.
- I think it sounds pretty good.

115
00:06:08,889 --> 00:06:11,881
Pretty good? It was horrible.
What are you taking, stupid pills again?

116
00:06:11,992 --> 00:06:15,086
But their old dynamic
returned when George Sr. Did.

117
00:06:15,195 --> 00:06:18,824
Gob was the only one down there
who knew how to handle that hairless freak.

118
00:06:18,932 --> 00:06:21,059
- Thank God we have Gob on our team.
- You know, Dad...

119
00:06:21,168 --> 00:06:23,966
Gob doesn't really do
all that much for our team.

120
00:06:24,071 --> 00:06:26,665
In fact, I think it's time
that I get put back in charge.

121
00:06:26,774 --> 00:06:29,174
Michael, listen to me.
Lately, your ideas, they're horrible.

122
00:06:29,276 --> 00:06:32,768
And Sitwell's just trying to
figure out our batting order...

123
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,371
for the softball game
on Saturday, I'm telling you.

124
00:06:35,482 --> 00:06:37,973
Gob said the same thing, Dad,
but l-I doubt that this guy's...

125
00:06:38,085 --> 00:06:41,646
trying to drop $15 million
to find out our batting order.

126
00:06:41,755 --> 00:06:43,620
Hey. This game goes way, way back.

127
00:06:43,724 --> 00:06:46,852
It was a fierce rivalry, with George Sr. Using...

128
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,192
- everything at his disposal to win-
- No hair. Hey, we got no hair.

129
00:06:51,298 --> 00:06:55,962
While Stan Sitwell used the game
to raise funds for underprivileged children.

130
00:06:56,069 --> 00:07:00,130
- Oh, I think one of your orphans
is heading towards the street.
- Strike three.

131
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,038
You go down there, and you tell him
to go screw himself...

132
00:07:03,143 --> 00:07:04,542
and apologize to your brother.

133
00:07:04,645 --> 00:07:07,079
We need him on our side,
and we need him happy.

134
00:07:07,214 --> 00:07:09,512
- Where's Sitwell?
- Sorry. I told him to screw off.

135
00:07:09,616 --> 00:07:12,585
- But get this, he offered me a job.
- What?

136
00:07:12,686 --> 00:07:15,655
Well, I'm not waiting
on my brother. I pass.

137
00:07:15,756 --> 00:07:19,248
- You look surprised.
- I'm sorry. I must've put it on too high.

138
00:07:19,359 --> 00:07:22,988
But you were right. It was a bad offer
and you were smart enough not to take it.

139
00:07:23,096 --> 00:07:26,395
You got gumption. You speak your mind. That
means you're good enough to work for me.

140
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:28,161
you.

141
00:07:28,268 --> 00:07:30,896
And I accepted.
He's waiting for me outside.

142
00:07:31,004 --> 00:07:35,236
We're gonna swing by his wigmaker.
His "just woke up" hair is finally ready.

143
00:07:35,342 --> 00:07:37,606
You're really gonna do this?

144
00:07:37,711 --> 00:07:42,011
It's ready, Mike. They're only
gonna hold it for 24 hours.

145
00:07:42,115 --> 00:07:46,074
Tobias and Maeby, meanwhile,
had mapped the route to the audition.

146
00:07:46,186 --> 00:07:49,644
Well, here we are
and home we go...

147
00:07:49,756 --> 00:07:53,089
with plenty of time
to get you to English class.

148
00:07:53,193 --> 00:07:55,252
Wait. You can't do
a U-turn on your dream.

149
00:07:55,362 --> 00:07:59,162
I say, we get you on the lot and get
the Fünke name out there.

150
00:07:59,266 --> 00:08:02,724
- Start talking you up around the watercoolers.
- Maeby, we'll never get on here.

151
00:08:02,836 --> 00:08:06,363
I mean, behind these walls
are the biggest stars in the world.

152
00:08:06,473 --> 00:08:09,101
America's treasures.

153
00:08:11,578 --> 00:08:15,537
- Damn it!
- Dad, you're auditioning for the part
of a confidence man.

154
00:08:15,649 --> 00:08:17,378
Let's try a little confidence.

155
00:08:17,484 --> 00:08:20,078
You say confidence man?
Hey, I'm up for that part too.

156
00:08:20,187 --> 00:08:22,485
- Oh.
- Good luck to you.

157
00:08:22,589 --> 00:08:24,386
Good luck to you too.

158
00:08:24,491 --> 00:08:26,891
As Tobias was gaining
self-confidence...

159
00:08:26,994 --> 00:08:28,928
- Michael was struggling to keep his.
- Hi, Dad.

160
00:08:29,029 --> 00:08:31,725
- Wow, you're president again?
- Yes, this is the way it should be.

161
00:08:31,832 --> 00:08:34,494
What do you think of when you hear
the words, "Sudden Valley"?

162
00:08:34,601 --> 00:08:38,503
Salad dressing, I think. But for
some reason, I don't wanna eat it.

163
00:08:38,605 --> 00:08:43,508
- Right. But "Paradise Gardens."
- Yeah. Okay. I can see marinating a chicken in that.

164
00:08:43,610 --> 00:08:46,977
Um, I'm actually here about the softball game.
We need some girls on the team, right?

165
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,911
Yes, we do.
That's a league requirement.

166
00:08:49,016 --> 00:08:51,917
One that was difficult to meet,
given Gob's behavior...

167
00:08:52,019 --> 00:08:54,351
in the third inning
oflast year's game.

168
00:08:54,454 --> 00:08:56,285
We could stay here,
wait for another pop-up.

169
00:08:56,390 --> 00:08:59,655
- And in the fifth inning.
- Come on! Yeah, here we go!

170
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,092
- Oh, and before the game.

171
00:09:04,798 --> 00:09:07,767
We lost our entire outfield
and a couple of court cases.

172
00:09:07,868 --> 00:09:11,269
Well, you know who would be great
and not at all litigious is Ann.

173
00:09:11,371 --> 00:09:13,931
- Mmm, not Ann.
- No?

174
00:09:14,041 --> 00:09:17,841
'Cause you know this-this
game is kind of our thing.

175
00:09:17,945 --> 00:09:20,209
But Ann's amazing.
You know, she could play my position.

176
00:09:20,314 --> 00:09:24,182
You should be playing the field...
there, in right, you know?

177
00:09:24,284 --> 00:09:27,549
Plus, I got Aunt Lindsay playing this year.
I can't very well pull her off the roster.

178
00:09:27,654 --> 00:09:32,148
Let's make Ann the backup, okay? Very good
way to think about her... as a backup.

179
00:09:32,259 --> 00:09:34,056
- She's gonna be so excited.
- Good.

180
00:09:34,161 --> 00:09:37,961
- Maybe-Maybe now I'll get a kiss.
- Okay.

181
00:09:38,065 --> 00:09:42,229
Oh. I meant from Ann.

182
00:09:43,537 --> 00:09:46,472
Yes, I know.
I just want to get in there first.

183
00:09:46,573 --> 00:09:49,371
Okay.

184
00:09:51,612 --> 00:09:54,410
Lindsay, wake up. I need you
to play on the softball team this year.

185
00:09:54,514 --> 00:09:57,642
Lindsay felt the intended effect of Teamocil-

186
00:09:57,751 --> 00:10:01,380
- a sense of camaraderie.
- Count me in, Michael. Happy to help the team.

187
00:10:04,858 --> 00:10:07,486
- Great news. I'm back.
- You just left.

188
00:10:07,594 --> 00:10:09,721
Yeah, I don't think
things are gonna work out with Sitwell.

189
00:10:09,830 --> 00:10:12,799
I mean, we picked up his sleepy-head wig,
everything was cool.

190
00:10:12,899 --> 00:10:15,424
Next thing I know, he's asking me
for a bunch of work ideas.

191
00:10:15,535 --> 00:10:19,596
So, I thought I'd just quit
and go back to being president here.

192
00:10:19,706 --> 00:10:23,267
I need to do this job, okay?
I need to prove that I can do this job.

193
00:10:23,377 --> 00:10:28,007
- To who?
- To... you.

194
00:10:28,115 --> 00:10:32,176
Michael, I'm your big brother.
I'll never be impressed with you.

195
00:10:32,285 --> 00:10:34,253
- Still.
- Anyway, look. You can still do it.

196
00:10:34,354 --> 00:10:38,916
I just want the office
and my stuffs and title.

197
00:10:39,026 --> 00:10:44,191
What about... if I help you with
your work over at Sitwell?

198
00:10:44,297 --> 00:10:46,857
- You'd do that?
- Sure.

199
00:10:46,967 --> 00:10:49,401
You really want me
to succeed at Sitwell.

200
00:10:49,503 --> 00:10:55,135
Well, I just- Hey. Come on. I really want
you to be over at Sitwell.

201
00:10:59,746 --> 00:11:04,979
Lucille was worried that her son
Buster was being sent into battle with the army.

202
00:11:05,085 --> 00:11:08,213
I feel that we've not brought
something up that might be a solution...

203
00:11:08,321 --> 00:11:10,881
um, to spare my feelings.

204
00:11:10,991 --> 00:11:14,449
Send you in his place? I called.
They don't want you back.

205
00:11:14,561 --> 00:11:19,191
Oscar had served in Vietnam
as a croc spotter on a Swift boat.

206
00:11:19,299 --> 00:11:21,529
Croc! No, Sorry. Wait. Log.

207
00:11:21,635 --> 00:11:23,603
Just a log.
No, wait. Sorry. Croc!

208
00:11:23,704 --> 00:11:28,004
- It was there that he met
a young U.S.O. Dancer named Lucille.

209
00:11:28,108 --> 00:11:29,973
I prefer an older man.

210
00:11:30,077 --> 00:11:34,673
- Hey, I'm free after the show.
- I said older, Bob, not dead.

211
00:11:36,516 --> 00:11:39,644
I swore I'd never
say his name again, but...

212
00:11:39,753 --> 00:11:42,415
it's time to call you-know-who.

213
00:11:42,522 --> 00:11:46,652
"You-know-who'was
an army sergeant named Bill Anderson.

214
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,493
He and Lucille were an item
before she left him for Oscar.

215
00:11:51,598 --> 00:11:56,399
At the studio, Tobias began to
create buzz around the watercooler.

216
00:11:56,503 --> 00:11:58,494
That Fünke is some kind of something.

217
00:11:58,605 --> 00:12:00,869
Boy, this Fünke is all anybody's
ever talking about.

218
00:12:00,974 --> 00:12:04,307
So sick and tired of hearing about
how brilliant that Fünke is.

219
00:12:04,411 --> 00:12:08,472
Overrated.
I'll just move- I'm sorry.

220
00:12:08,582 --> 00:12:11,107
Okay. We're okay. Okay.

221
00:12:11,218 --> 00:12:14,847
Meanwhile, Maeby looked for
an empty office to call George Michael.

222
00:12:14,955 --> 00:12:19,051
Where are you? I bought you a day.
I can't put this book report off forever.

223
00:12:19,159 --> 00:12:21,354
Sorry, is this your office?

224
00:12:21,461 --> 00:12:24,988
No. I'm just sitting behind someone else's
desk pretending these are my kids.

225
00:12:25,098 --> 00:12:28,124
Can you get Jude Law
in here for a meeting?

226
00:12:28,235 --> 00:12:30,294
- Oh, I'm just a reader.
- A reader?

227
00:12:30,403 --> 00:12:34,032
- Yeah.
- I need a report by tomorrow.

228
00:12:34,141 --> 00:12:38,771
Before gym-lunch...
with Jim... Carrey.

229
00:12:38,879 --> 00:12:41,143
It's the Grinch guy.
You're too young.

230
00:12:45,085 --> 00:12:48,885
So get this.
Sitwell loved my ideas.

231
00:12:48,989 --> 00:12:51,958
Well, my ideas and I knew it.
That's great.

232
00:12:52,058 --> 00:12:54,856
- You know, Dad never complimented any of those.
- Here's the thing.

233
00:12:54,961 --> 00:12:58,829
- I need more.
- There were 34 proposals in there.

234
00:12:58,932 --> 00:13:01,662
You'd be amazed how fast they come out
when you read them all in a row.

235
00:13:01,768 --> 00:13:05,898
"Thirty-one, bamboo floor upgrades.
Cheaper, stronger." I can't read this word.

236
00:13:06,006 --> 00:13:08,941
"Thirty-two, wireless 'crapability."'
That one explains itself.

237
00:13:09,042 --> 00:13:11,340
- "Thirty-three"-
- Gob, that was six-months' worth of work.

238
00:13:11,444 --> 00:13:13,412
- You can't just blurt them all out at once.
- Mr. Bluth.

239
00:13:13,513 --> 00:13:16,744
- He's coming. I've got to go.
- You blew them away.

240
00:13:16,850 --> 00:13:20,650
Bought you something. Maybe
we can play catch sometime.

241
00:13:20,754 --> 00:13:24,053
Gob's own father had only
once played catch with him.

242
00:13:24,157 --> 00:13:28,253
And it ended as badly
as any game of catch could end.

243
00:13:28,361 --> 00:13:31,489
- White power!
- Better yet, maybe we can play ball on Saturday.

244
00:13:31,598 --> 00:13:34,567
I'll meet you there.
I've got a neck hair fitting at 11:00.

245
00:13:34,668 --> 00:13:39,628
Gob was both angry...
and overwhelmed...

246
00:13:39,739 --> 00:13:42,867
by the approval
from this new father figure.

247
00:13:42,976 --> 00:13:46,036
It was confusing.

248
00:13:46,146 --> 00:13:49,047
Michael was less torn
and went to brag to his father.

249
00:13:49,149 --> 00:13:53,882
So, apparently my ideas aren't so bad,
and that comes from Sitwell himself.

250
00:13:53,987 --> 00:13:57,718
- You let your ideas go to Sitwell?
- Uh, no. I gave them to Gob...

251
00:13:57,824 --> 00:14:01,555
who, uh, works there now.

252
00:14:01,661 --> 00:14:03,629
You let Gob go to Sitwell?

253
00:14:03,730 --> 00:14:06,028
- What'd I tell you? I told you-
- "Don't let him go." I know.

254
00:14:06,132 --> 00:14:09,067
- But my point is that I do all the work, Pop.
- He makes all the plays.

255
00:14:09,169 --> 00:14:11,501
Don't you understand? He was the best
softball player in the league.

256
00:14:11,605 --> 00:14:16,736
Gob was especially gifted
at sacrificing his body for the play.

257
00:14:16,843 --> 00:14:19,971
- Play's at second. Play's at second.
- Yeah! Suck on that, Sitwell.

258
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,571
Although at times,
even that wasn't enough.

259
00:14:22,682 --> 00:14:25,515
Your Tweety Bird dance
just cost us a run, you moron.

260
00:14:25,619 --> 00:14:27,849
Why do you think
Sitwell hired him?

261
00:14:27,954 --> 00:14:31,321
You can't do this. You're gonna lose the game,
the company, and you can't do this.

262
00:14:31,424 --> 00:14:34,416
What are you saying? If I win the game,
you're comfortable with me running the company?

263
00:14:34,527 --> 00:14:36,654
- That's what I'm saying.
- I'll win the game.

264
00:14:36,796 --> 00:14:40,027
And I'll show him that
his little plan didn't work, all right?

265
00:14:40,133 --> 00:14:43,762
- We can build houses. We can win games.
- That is what I wanna hear.

266
00:14:43,870 --> 00:14:47,931
- We can win games.

267
00:14:49,542 --> 00:14:53,444
Lindsay, did that oven vent hit you?
Your foot is bleeding.

268
00:14:53,546 --> 00:14:57,141
- My foot is bleeding.
- Teamocil may cause
numbness of the extremities.

269
00:14:57,250 --> 00:14:59,218
You're gonna be able
to play on our team, right?

270
00:14:59,319 --> 00:15:02,618
- Why do you think I'm taking Teamocil?
- To curb your sex drive.

271
00:15:02,722 --> 00:15:04,622
That's right. What team
are you talking about?

272
00:15:04,724 --> 00:15:08,319
It may also cause
short-term memory loss.

273
00:15:08,428 --> 00:15:11,124
Okay. Looks like I'm gonna need
that female backup player after all.

274
00:15:11,231 --> 00:15:14,166
- And Ann's really good at softball, huh?
- Yeah. She's amazing.

275
00:15:14,267 --> 00:15:16,861
You know, she's got this low center
of gravity. You can't knock her over.

276
00:15:16,970 --> 00:15:19,700
- Well, I could knock her over.
- Dad, I'm telling you, you can't.

277
00:15:19,806 --> 00:15:22,036
They call her "The Wall,"
you know?

278
00:15:22,142 --> 00:15:26,306
Well, that's great. But I could
knock her over. I won't, but I could.

279
00:15:26,413 --> 00:15:29,041
- And Lucille called on an old lover.
- William?

280
00:15:29,149 --> 00:15:31,583
- Yes, ma'am?
- You don't remember me?

281
00:15:31,685 --> 00:15:35,815
General Anderson had done
three tours of duty in Vietnam...

282
00:15:35,922 --> 00:15:40,882
- but the only memory he'd blocked
was being left by Lucille.
- Oh, God. That touch.

283
00:15:40,994 --> 00:15:44,862
- Oh, how could I forget? Pat?
- Lucille.

284
00:15:44,965 --> 00:15:47,832
I could never forget that touch.

285
00:15:47,934 --> 00:15:51,665
Bill, they're shipping my son Buster off.
I can't have that happen.

286
00:15:51,771 --> 00:15:56,071
- I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do.
- Is there anything I can do?

287
00:15:57,377 --> 00:16:02,440
Maybe if you... go downtown.

288
00:16:02,549 --> 00:16:06,417
Oh, I haven't done that in 30 years.

289
00:16:16,896 --> 00:16:19,626
- You make me want to puke, Bluth!

290
00:16:19,733 --> 00:16:22,531
And so, Buster was pulled out
of combat training-

291
00:16:22,635 --> 00:16:27,197
- Put 'em down and halt!
- and put into U.S.O. Training.

292
00:16:30,577 --> 00:16:34,536
- It jolts, but it's not really doing it right now.
- And back at Gob's new office.

293
00:16:34,647 --> 00:16:36,444
- Michael.
- Do you still need those ideas?

294
00:16:36,549 --> 00:16:39,382
Come on. Are you kidding me?
I can't let Sitwell down.

295
00:16:39,486 --> 00:16:43,047
- L-I'm desperate here.
- Then I'll make you a deal.

296
00:16:43,156 --> 00:16:47,149
- I want you to throw the softball game.
- Never!

297
00:16:47,260 --> 00:16:49,922
- He gave me this.
- Course he did. Why do you think he hired you?

298
00:16:50,030 --> 00:16:52,897
He liked my ideas.

299
00:16:52,999 --> 00:16:54,899
They were my ideas,
and, no, he didn't.

300
00:16:55,001 --> 00:16:58,732
He wants you for the softball game because
he's trying to make our family look foolish.

301
00:16:58,838 --> 00:17:03,673
I knew you had bad ideas.
All right, we'll play him.

302
00:17:03,777 --> 00:17:06,405
I'll throw that softball game.

303
00:17:06,513 --> 00:17:09,744
Nobody makes a fool of
our family without my help.

304
00:17:16,122 --> 00:17:20,354
Tobias had talked up the name
Fünke, and it was time to audition.

305
00:17:20,460 --> 00:17:23,190
- What's your name?
- Tobias.

306
00:17:23,296 --> 00:17:25,321
He's too short. Give it to the guard.

307
00:17:25,432 --> 00:17:30,768
Oh. L- I'm not. L-
On camera, I seem much taller.

308
00:17:30,870 --> 00:17:34,169
And Maeby picked up the reader's report,
which had now become her book report.

309
00:17:34,274 --> 00:17:36,970
- Whatcha got there?
- I can't really discuss it.

310
00:17:37,077 --> 00:17:39,477
If you wanna get it made,
I'm the guy who has to see it.

311
00:17:39,579 --> 00:17:43,208
You're the Fünke everyone's talking about?
What are you, like, 15?

312
00:17:43,316 --> 00:17:47,184
- Marry me.
- Everyone thinks I look young too.

313
00:17:47,287 --> 00:17:50,279
- So who are you thinking about?
- Jude Law. Why do you ask?

314
00:17:50,390 --> 00:17:52,858
Yeah. Go young. Young Guy and the Sea.
Big spring-breaker.

315
00:17:52,959 --> 00:17:55,951
Four C.G.I. The fish.
Let's fast-track this one.

316
00:17:56,062 --> 00:17:59,463
And that's when Maeby realized
she had become a successful film executive.

317
00:17:59,566 --> 00:18:01,727
- It's all waxed up.
- All waxed up? What do you mean?

318
00:18:01,835 --> 00:18:04,827
- I need something. Ajob for my dad.
- Yeah, yeah. Sure. Okay.

319
00:18:04,938 --> 00:18:08,305
Listen to me.
Brand new cars don't get waxed!

320
00:18:08,408 --> 00:18:10,876
That afternoon it was game time...

321
00:18:10,977 --> 00:18:13,468
and Michael felt confident
about a Bluth win.

322
00:18:15,982 --> 00:18:18,212
Spin, spin, spin.

323
00:18:18,318 --> 00:18:23,051
Ann wasn't as amazing as
George Michael led his father to believe.

324
00:18:24,124 --> 00:18:26,319
But Gob was playing
worse than ever...

325
00:18:26,426 --> 00:18:29,327
as per his agreement with Michael.

326
00:18:36,769 --> 00:18:40,102
Your guy can't hit, Sitwell.
He's never gonna touch it.

327
00:18:40,206 --> 00:18:42,265
- Time out.
- Time out.

328
00:18:42,375 --> 00:18:44,502
Gob, are you okay?

329
00:18:44,611 --> 00:18:47,409
Yeah, just can't hit today.
Guess you're really disappointed in me.

330
00:18:47,514 --> 00:18:50,677
Hey. Everybody has days like this.
It's only a game.

331
00:18:50,783 --> 00:18:53,843
After that list of ideas you gave me,
I don't care if you blow the whole season.

332
00:18:53,953 --> 00:18:56,683
Come here, you.

333
00:18:58,091 --> 00:18:59,854
Okay. We're good.

334
00:18:59,959 --> 00:19:03,918
And Gob finally felt
that someone believed in him.

335
00:19:04,030 --> 00:19:07,693
Even though they weren't his ideas.

336
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,428
And he decided
to make Sitwell proud.

337
00:19:13,573 --> 00:19:15,700
Get on that ball!

338
00:19:18,044 --> 00:19:20,535
You go!

339
00:19:20,647 --> 00:19:22,547
You better pull an ankle or something.

340
00:19:22,649 --> 00:19:24,549
Come on, George Michael!
Get that ball in there!

341
00:19:24,651 --> 00:19:26,710
Then he went headfirst into The Wall.

342
00:19:26,819 --> 00:19:28,787
- I'm safe.
- You're out!

343
00:19:28,888 --> 00:19:32,221
Out? I was safe! I'm safe!

344
00:19:32,325 --> 00:19:35,385
- Stop with the Tweety Bird dance, you moron.
- Dad?

345
00:19:35,495 --> 00:19:37,827
He made the call. You're out.
What are you doing?

346
00:19:37,931 --> 00:19:39,728
- Shush, shush, shush.
- Dad?

347
00:19:39,832 --> 00:19:42,232
- He's safe.
- What the hell are you doing here?

348
00:19:42,335 --> 00:19:45,429
I'm taking care of what you
screwed up. You blew it again, Michael.

349
00:19:45,538 --> 00:19:49,907
Let me tell you something. I blew it when
I let you start controlling me again.

350
00:19:50,009 --> 00:19:51,909
I even stooped to cheat here
at a softball game.

351
00:19:52,011 --> 00:19:54,411
You've been talking to each other.
How come nobody called me?

352
00:19:54,514 --> 00:19:57,813
- What's going on there?
- I'm just fixing something that's been bugging me.

353
00:19:57,917 --> 00:20:00,511
- He was safe.

354
00:20:00,620 --> 00:20:04,249
He was. We lost.
Get over it.

355
00:20:04,357 --> 00:20:07,849
Yeah, and Stan Sitwell liked my ideas.
He really believed in me.

356
00:20:07,961 --> 00:20:09,758
- My ideas.
- Well.

357
00:20:09,862 --> 00:20:12,763
And I'm president, whether
you like it or not, Dad.

358
00:20:12,865 --> 00:20:14,992
I don't need your approval anymore.

359
00:20:16,569 --> 00:20:19,868
- I'm proud of you.
- Really?

360
00:20:19,973 --> 00:20:22,066
Yeah. See ya.

361
00:20:25,078 --> 00:20:27,603
Michael, I could've sworn
I just saw Dad.

362
00:20:27,714 --> 00:20:31,115
Or not. I think hallucination
is one of the side-effects ofTeamocil.

363
00:20:31,217 --> 00:20:33,344
It isn't.

364
00:20:33,453 --> 00:20:35,751
- Thanks for making the right call there, Mike.
- Yeah.

365
00:20:35,855 --> 00:20:38,983
- Sorry I didn't blow the game.
- No. You did the right thing...

366
00:20:39,092 --> 00:20:41,652
and you finally got Dad
to one of your ball games.

367
00:20:41,761 --> 00:20:44,389
- Screw him.
- Yeah.

368
00:20:44,497 --> 00:20:48,160
I miss him so much.

369
00:20:48,268 --> 00:20:51,032
On the next
Arrested Development.

370
00:20:51,137 --> 00:20:54,334
- Maeby gets her father a job.
- I gotta fire one of ya.

371
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,136
Andy Richter! Here are those head shots
I was telling you about.

372
00:20:57,243 --> 00:21:00,701
- Yeah. I gotta go.
- It's Tobias Fünke. I told you about the head shots?

373
00:21:00,813 --> 00:21:03,304
And Buster visits the general.

374
00:21:03,416 --> 00:21:05,816
I just wanted to thank you for my new job.

375
00:21:05,918 --> 00:21:09,479
- What's wrong?
- I'm shipping out tomorrow.

376
00:21:09,589 --> 00:21:15,323
- I've got just the thing.
- Oh. I haven't felt hands like that in years.

377
00:21:15,428 --> 00:21:18,363
You are coming to the front.
