sakura_sakeDammit, I'm down to my last two episodes of Arrested Development. Withdrawal headache coming up! So anyway, here are my top ten favorite quotes from this show. I wanted to include G.O.B.'s background music--"The Final Countdown"--but a whole load of "ten-nen-nen...ten ten ten" doesn't sound funny in print.
My top ten favorite AD quotes
10. Lindsay Funke: Did you enjoy your meal, Mom? You drank it fast enough.
Lucille: Not as much as you enjoyed yours. You want the belt to buckle, not your chair.
[server sets a dessert of Bananas Foster on fire]
Lucille: You might want to let that fire go out before you stick your face in it.
Lindsay Funke: That's funny, 'cause I was gonna say "You might wanna lean away from that fire since you're soaked in alcohol."
Lucille: Mine was better.
9. Lucille: You tricked me.
Michael: I *deceived* you. "Tricked" makes it sound like we have a playful relationship.
8. Lucille: THERE WERE 250 CCs OF YOUR FATHER IN THAT BANANA STAND!
Michael: No touching.
7. George Michael: They're adults. They're allowed to have fun whenever they want. We're kids, we're supposed to work.
VIDEO BONUS! Because you clicked the cut, yay. "I've made a huge mistake!"
6. Lucille 2: Read me the appetizers again.
G.O.B.: "Fried cheese... with club sauce."
Lucille 2: Oh...
G.O.B.: "Popcorn shrimp... with club sauce."
Lucille 2: (Moans.)
G.O.B.: "Chicken fingers..."
Lucille 2: Oh, stop it, you're making me dizzy.
G.O.B.: “...with spicy club sauce.”
Lucille 2: No, I mean stop it!
5. Narrator: Tobias listens to a day's worth of his own words, to see what Michael was referring to...
Tobias Fünke: [on tape] ... even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up.
Tobias Fünke: Nothing wrong with that.
Tobias Fünke: [on tape] Oh, I've been in the film business for a while, but I just can't seem to get one in the can.
Tobias Fünke: It's out of context.
Tobias Fünke: [on tape] I wouldn't mind kissing that man between the cheeks.
Narrator: ...and he realized there is something distinct about the way he speaks.
Tobias Fünke: Tobias, you blowhard.
4. George Michael: Oh, it's so cute. She sometimes takes a little pack of mayonnaise, and she’ll squirt it in her mouth all over, and then she’ll take an egg and kind of... Mmmm! She calls it a "mayonegg."
3. Tobias Fünke: Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over - an analyst and a therapist. The world's first analrapist.
2. Michael: Has anyone in this family ever even seen a chicken?
1. G.O.B.: The zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the first-born, sick of playing second fiddle, always third in line for everything, tired of finishing fourth, being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.
- That's it, I'm in love with G.O.B., his lines are so clever. Hahaha!
Runner ups:
1. Buster: Sister's my new mother, Mother!
2. George, Sr.: How many times I gotta tell this kid chicken wings?
3. George Michael: [very quickly] Bluth-Company-George-Michael-speaking-not-Kitty.
4. Michael: Lindsay, I can tell that it's real. It's like that feeling that you read about twins having.
Lindsay: We're twins. You didn't give me access to the banking.
Michael: No, you'd just, you'd go out and you'd just whore it up, Lindsay, you know? Now she's different. She's a little bit more like me. It's like we finish each other's...
Lindsay: Sandwiches?
Michael: Sentences. Why would I say...?
Lindsay: Sandwiches?
Michael: That time I was going to say sandwiches.
5. Maeby: Do you guys know where I could get one of those gold necklaces with the T' on it?
Michael: That's a cross.
Maeby: Across from where?
6. And the family's variations of "Her?" (well, mostly Michael's--I love how clueless he looks when he says it) and George, Sr.'s "Him?"
