Jessie: "There are very few intelligent, attractive and straight men in this town." Tobias: "Well, that certainly leaves me out. [Everyone looks at Tobias] You said 'single', right? She said 'single.'"
Tobias: "As you may or may not know, Lindsay and I have hit a bit of a rough patch." Michael: "Really? When did that start?" Tobias: "Well, I don't want to blame it all on 9/11, but it certainly didn't help."
Tobias Fünke: What are you doing up here? George Sr.: I'm having a fucking tea party, what does it look like I'm doing? George Sr.: I'm living up here and if you tell anyone about this, I will fucking kill you. Ah, stop licking my hand, you horse's ass.
Tobias: You know, Lindsay, as a therapist, I have advised... a number of couples to explore an open relationship where the couple remains emotionally committed but free to explore extramarital encounters. Lindsay: Well, did it work for those people? Tobias: No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but... but it might work for us.
My favorite show ever. If there was any silver lining to being involved in a fairly successful family business, its that I see parallels to AD every single day. It is to the point where my uncle is usually referred to a GOB (as in GOB-stopper, not the Biblical character) The cherry on top is that another family we are good friends with has an ongoing Lucille-Buster relationship.
Barry Zuckerkorn: So basically you're about 2,000 shares short of being the majority stock holders. Now unfortunately it's a private stock so you can not just buy up the shares unless someone is willing to sell Michael: Are you sure? Barry Zuckerkorn: That's what it said on 'Ask Jeeves'
Was reading up on the show because I hadn't heard about it before this thread and it looks like they did get picked up for a second season (at least 8 episodes). Going to have to catch up on this show if it really is as good as some of you are saying.
michael: you mailed the insurance check right? gob:...(slowly backs away on segway) Next time on Arrested Development...
Gob: :Steve Holt's not my son." George Michael: "Steve Holt? The moron jock?" Gob: "That's my son, you pothead!"
Might be one of my favorite scenes from the entire show. Also love the time GOB comes up to Michael on the segway but it's bumpy and he's having problems with it. Michael, Michae, Mich... Michael!
Lucille: I have a plan to stave off intruders. Michael Bluth: What's that? Lucille: [holds up an air horn and a fire poker] First I blow him then I poke him. Michael Bluth: Guy doesn't know what he's in for.
I've been trying to get user Shocker to watch AD for the longest time. Feel free to let him know what he is missing, in any thread he decides to post in.
like how GOB says steve holtz looks like a chick he dated in high school, then later you find steve holtz is his son.
just watched the episode "amigos!" and it shows gob in mexico where the little kid offers him a chiclklet... "You're the chicklet not me! caw ca caw ca caw ca caw!"
the music that plays anytime Oscar or Buster says something that hints that Oscar is Busters dad is amazing, wish I could find it on youtube edit: this might have already been posted but it might be the best scene in the series Arrested Development - Pop Secret
that music so much. And holy hell at that clip. Laughed out loud probably four or five times in that minute and a half. "You'd do that to your own brother?" "I said cot."
Tobias: "I'm afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, if you will, and now I have something of a mess on my hands."
