| [00:11] | [Ron] After a wonderful adventure with his son… | |
| [00:14] | – [Buster] Why did we come here? – [Ron] …Oscar felt he could run no more. | |
| [00:17] | – I have a confession. – Oh. | |
| [00:19] | [Oscar] You’re not a fugitive wanted for killing Lucille 2. | |
| [00:22] | And you’re not on the run. | |
| [00:24] | I was just telling you that because I’ve just enjoyed being | |
| [00:27] | with you so much, and, um… | |
| [00:28] | Sorry. | |
| [00:31] | – I have a confession of my own to make. – [Oscar] Huh? | |
| [00:34] | I also knew we were not being looked for. | |
| [00:37] | I went along with it because I… I… I wanted to spend | |
| [00:39] | some more time with you. | |
| [00:44] | All right. All right, well, then go on inside | |
| [00:47] | and sign out, and, uh, let’s continue the adventure. | |
| [00:50] | Okay. [laughs] Okay, okay. | |
| [00:52] | – But while I’m gone… – Yeah? | |
| [00:53] | Pick what you want to do when we get back. Here’s your choices: | |
| [00:56] | lay down inside, get scared of the dark inside, | |
| [00:58] | or play hide-and-go-seek inside. | |
| [01:01] | This shouldn’t take too long. I hope you don’t mind waiting for me. | |
| [01:04] | – Hey, I ain’t going nowhere. – [Buster] Okay. | |
| [01:07] | [clears throat] Oh, and one more thing. I don’t like the smell of marijuana | |
| [01:10] | or your behavior when I’ve caught you, so it’s me or the weed. | |
| [01:15] | [Buster chuckling] | |
| [01:19] | – Hello! – [Oscar sighs] | |
| [01:24] | Outside, outside, outside, outside, outside, outside, outside… | |
| [01:27] | [Ron] Now, the story of a wealthy family | |
| [01:29] | who lost everything and the one son who had no choice | |
| [01:32] | but to keep them all together. | |
| [01:34] | [theme music playing] | |
| [01:40] | It’s Arrested Development. | |
| [01:45] | [Ron] George and Lucille were finally having dinner | |
| [01:48] | with their wall investors, | |
| [01:50] | and they were waiting for the right opportunity | |
| [01:52] | to lie about why they couldn’t build it. | |
| [01:55] | I’d just like to thank you for joining us for dinner. | |
| [01:58] | [man] The least we can do is pick up the check. | |
| [02:00] | You have burned so many phones talking to us. | |
| [02:02] | [George Sr.] And to many, | |
| [02:03] | – many more burnings. – Ganbei. | |
| [02:05] | – Ganbei. – Oh, that voice. | |
| [02:08] | Well, shall we conclude the pleasantries and move on to business? | |
| [02:12] | Okay, so as you probably heard, our daughter, | |
| [02:14] | – Lindsay, lost the election. – [Lucille] Ah, that’s right, | |
| [02:17] | and her opponent Sally Sitwell is very anti-wall. | |
| [02:21] | We pleaded with her and asked her to support it, | |
| [02:23] | but she won’t do it. | |
| [02:25] | – So, our hands are tied. – [George Sr.] That’s right. | |
| [02:27] | So, unfortunately, we… we, uh, are unable to build the wall. | |
| [02:30] | So unfortunate. | |
| [02:32] | [traditional Chinese music playing] | |
| [02:34] | Okay. Done. | |
| [02:36] | Hey, is this music to you guys? | |
| [02:38] | I mean, do you really hear this as music? | |
| [02:40] | But Ms. Sitwell has publicly supported | |
| [02:42] | the construction of the wall. | |
| [02:45] | Technically, yes, but you see, uh, on the flip side of that… | |
| [02:50] | We did not expect you to know that. | |
| [02:55] | We’re upset. | |
| [02:56] | – [sighs] – [Ron] Caught in a lie, | |
| [02:57] | George Sr. had no choice… | |
| [02:59] | Look, we invested your money. That’s the truth. | |
| [03:01] | [Ron] …but to tell a lie | |
| [03:03] | – with the word “truth” in it. – And, uh, we can get it for you right now. | |
| [03:06] | I mean, just like that, but, um, you know what? | |
| [03:09] | – We… We were thinking… – Wouldn’t they rather wait | |
| [03:12] | until the investment comes to fruition? | |
| [03:14] | We want the wall. We’ll pass on the fruition. | |
| [03:16] | Well, but, the banks are closed, you know, tomorrow being the seventh. | |
| [03:20] | Take a little fruition. We’ll talk in a couple of days. | |
| [03:22] | – Oh, that’s good. – [man] No, we won’t. | |
| [03:24] | You will hear from our people. | |
| [03:26] | Oh, please, please sit down. Please, can we just sit down? | |
| [03:28] | All right? Wait, I cannot believe I’m gonna do this, um… | |
| [03:32] | I want to tell you the truth, | |
| [03:34] | which is what my son insisted we do from the start. | |
| [03:37] | The doctors give him three months to… | |
| [03:39] | – We spent all your money. – What did you lie? | |
| [03:42] | We bought the land on the border with your money. | |
| [03:45] | I mean, at least we thought we did, and we were gonna | |
| [03:47] | sell it back to the United States for a profit, | |
| [03:49] | and we weren’t gonna tell you. | |
| [03:50] | But guess what? We… We bought… [laughs] | |
| [03:54] | We bought the wrong land. | |
| [03:56] | And then, the… the Romneys came. | |
| [03:58] | Uh, not the regular ones; the Mexican Romneys. | |
| [04:01] | – We have Romneys. – Mm-hmm. | |
| [04:03] | – Go on. – Then we spent every last dime we had | |
| [04:06] | trying to get our idiot daughter elected. | |
| [04:09] | Who, by the way, has completely disappeared. | |
| [04:11] | So even if she had won, she couldn’t have helped. | |
| [04:14] | And we’ve been lying to you for months. | |
| [04:19] | Honesty’s good. | |
| [04:21] | And my wife is leaving me, and I don’t know what to do. | |
| [04:25] | And I think she’s [bleep] a surfer, and I can’t get hard. | |
| [04:28] | That is more than enough honesty. | |
| [04:30] | – Oh, noodle stab. I mean… – We had no idea | |
| [04:33] | how humiliating your circumstances were. | |
| [04:35] | It is very important for our partners, | |
| [04:38] | even in great failure, | |
| [04:39] | to remain honorable and save face. | |
| [04:42] | We’d like to offer you the opportunity | |
| [04:45] | to once again experience dignity | |
| [04:47] | by making a monetary gift to your family. | |
| [04:50] | [Ron] And that’s when the honesty unexpectedly paid off. | |
| [04:53] | Perhaps $3 million will suffice | |
| [04:56] | for removing some shame. | |
| [04:59] | Three million dollars. I mean, that gets… Whew. That gets… [laughs] | |
| [05:03] | …gets rid of a lot of… lot of shame. | |
| [05:05] | I mean, there would still be shame. | |
| [05:07] | Yeah, I mean, we had shame walking in the door, | |
| [05:09] | but, I mean, wow… | |
| [05:10] | Is there a bank account we can wire the money to | |
| [05:13] | that would avoid unwanted attention for you? | |
| [05:15] | [Ron] The Bluths had such an account. | |
| [05:17] | Oh, yeah, uh… | |
| [05:18] | That’s… She’s got that. | |
| [05:20] | [Ron] And back at the office, | |
| [05:22] | Michael got off on his son’s floor, | |
| [05:24] | – which he claimed was a… – Whoops! Force of habit. | |
| [05:27] | Hey, Fakeblock. | |
| [05:28] | [man] It’s not the paycheck guy. Don’t worry about it. | |
| [05:30] | [Ron] Only to discover some very disgruntled Fakeblock employees. | |
| [05:35] | Hey, Maeby. | |
| [05:36] | – Hey. – [Michael] Hi, there. | |
| [05:37] | Hey, what’s with the games? | |
| [05:40] | The new president seems to think it’s good for morale. | |
| [05:42] | [employee] We’d rather get paid. | |
| [05:43] | [Maeby] The new president gave you checks. | |
| [05:45] | – You just can’t, uh, cash ’em. – You hired a president? | |
| [05:48] | Yeah, we had to, in order to put the company on the market. | |
| [05:51] | But the guy I got is kind of an expert | |
| [05:53] | at creating the illusion of success. | |
| [05:55] | Please don’t tell me that you made Gob the president. | |
| [05:57] | [Gob] Did somebody wonder… | |
| [06:01] | if somebody else made Gob the president? | |
| [06:04] | – I wonder. – [game chimes] | |
| [06:07] | Catchphrase could use some pruning. | |
| [06:09] | What are you doing? I thought my son was president. | |
| [06:11] | No, he’s chief technical officer. | |
| [06:13] | The president goes with the company when we sell. | |
| [06:15] | I’m all for selling Gob, but I thought I talked him out of that. | |
| [06:18] | Can I talk to George Michael? Is he here? | |
| [06:20] | [Maeby] George Michael? | |
| [06:22] | Who’s that? | |
| [06:25] | He’s a singer, I think. [chuckles] | |
| [06:27] | Like, a gay one. And, you know, | |
| [06:29] | you can’t convert that away, but yeah, | |
| [06:30] | I think that guy is a singer. Do we have Internet? | |
| [06:33] | Uh, sorry, George Maharis. | |
| [06:35] | No, I’m not George Maharis. | |
| [06:36] | George Michael is George Maharis, and he’s in your old office. | |
| [06:39] | – Oh. Thank you. – [Gob] Don’t know. | |
| [06:40] | Once you’re gay, you’re gay, Michael! | |
| [06:42] | [laughs] God, Michael’s so stupid. Everybody’s gonna see. | |
| [06:47] | – [knock on door] – [Michael] Hi. Hey. | |
| [06:48] | I’m sure you’re busy. I said I’d never do this. | |
| [06:50] | – No, it’s just… – Am I interrupting? | |
| [06:52] | Uh, sorry. It’s… You know how deadlines are | |
| [06:54] | – with this stuff. It’s tight. – Sure. You’re selling the company? | |
| [06:58] | I thought the free office space would help. | |
| [07:00] | No, it’s just, we have so many expenses | |
| [07:02] | that I don’t know how I’m gonna pay the staff. | |
| [07:04] | – [Michael] Mm-hmm. – I’ve gone through this three times. | |
| [07:06] | I’m just… [grunts] I gotta get smart. | |
| [07:08] | – Well, hey, can’t you get an intern? – No, I keep getting Catwoman. | |
| [07:12] | – What’s that? – It’s the thread-count question. | |
| [07:14] | It’s gotta be the thread-count question. | |
| [07:16] | Well, you lost me there. Hey, you can’t give up. | |
| [07:18] | ‘Cause we just talked about this. | |
| [07:20] | Bluth boys, we never give up. | |
| [07:22] | And I hope that this isn’t about Rebel. | |
| [07:24] | I think it is a big mistake to take her money. | |
| [07:26] | She’s your girlfriend, not a business partner. | |
| [07:28] | No, I agree. I’m not… I’m not gonna do that. | |
| [07:30] | Definitely not. Because I’m a long way from making this thing work. | |
| [07:33] | I can’t afford to keep this thing running | |
| [07:34] | for another year, and that’s how long it could take. | |
| [07:37] | I’ll lose the employees, and then I’ll never get a buyer. | |
| [07:39] | I just don’t think I can save it. | |
| [07:41] | Oh, boy. Listen, I’m sure I’m not one to talk. | |
| [07:43] | I finally got Mom and Dad to admit | |
| [07:45] | they’ve screwed the company with that ridiculous wall project. | |
| [07:48] | But it’s over. Some things are just… | |
| [07:51] | they’re… they’re beyond saving. | |
| [07:53] | Even if I did, they wouldn’t be able to admit it. | |
| [07:55] | I mean, they just do not appreciate what I do. | |
| [07:58] | I just think it’s too bad that… | |
| [08:00] | I’m not gonna be able to run the family business with my son. | |
| [08:03] | We could’ve brought this thing into the 21st century. | |
| [08:06] | It would’ve been fun. | |
| [08:07] | It sure would’ve been fun. Hey. | |
| [08:10] | I got you an office-warming gift. | |
| [08:12] | I guess now it’s an office-closing gift, | |
| [08:14] | but take a look at this. | |
| [08:15] | Your first paycheck at the banana stand. Look at that. | |
| [08:18] | Oh, I just wanted to frame up | |
| [08:20] | the… the first one as a reminder of the value | |
| [08:22] | of a… an honest day’s work. | |
| [08:25] | It’s funny, I don’t remember getting | |
| [08:26] | – a paycheck from… – You didn’t. | |
| [08:28] | No, I couldn’t give this to you because you were underage. | |
| [08:31] | In fact, I couldn’t pay you, period, as an employee | |
| [08:33] | without getting in trouble with the government. | |
| [08:35] | I think we had you coded as a topping. | |
| [08:37] | No, in fact, where is it? There it is, right there. | |
| [08:39] | “Payment of two drums of dried George Michael.” | |
| [08:42] | – “A cocoa-based, non-digestive…” – “Colorant.” | |
| [08:45] | – I used to love those. – [Michael] Yeah. | |
| [08:46] | – I still do, kiddo. – [chuckles softly] | |
| [08:50] | Well, maybe we’re gonna end up together in the banana stand someday. | |
| [08:53] | Mm. Well, there’s always money in the banana stand. | |
| [08:56] | – Right. – Where is that from? | |
| [08:58] | – Is that from something? – It’s the only part of the business | |
| [09:00] | – that always turned a profit. – Right. Well, I know it did. | |
| [09:02] | Although, I just… I went through the books recently, | |
| [09:06] | and I did not see any income from the banana stand. | |
| [09:09] | – Wouldn’t have been much. – Right, but it would’ve been something. | |
| [09:12] | They would’ve had to have kept it. Let me see that check again. | |
| [09:17] | – That is not our banana logo, is it? – [George Michael] No. | |
| [09:20] | – Guess that’s the bank’s logo? – No. | |
| [09:24] | That’s an island. | |
| [09:25] | This is a check from the Cayman Islands. | |
| [09:28] | [Ron] It appeared there was at least one account | |
| [09:30] | – Michael hadn’t been privy to. – [George Michael] I’ll tell you what, | |
| [09:33] | it feels good to finally hold this check in my hands. | |
| [09:35] | – Just symbolically, after… – George Michael, that check… | |
| [09:40] | – Rip it up? – [Michael] No. | |
| [09:41] | But, uh, give it to me. It’s not even for you. | |
| [09:43] | It’s for toppings. | |
| [09:46] | [Ron] George and Lucille, meanwhile, | |
| [09:48] | were celebrating their success with the Chinese. | |
| [09:50] | You were brilliant. | |
| [09:51] | Wow. Three million dollars. | |
| [09:54] | When Michael says honesty pays, he was right. | |
| [09:56] | Three million! | |
| [09:58] | Oh, hey. How’d it go? | |
| [10:00] | – What are you doing here? – Oh, I asked him to come. | |
| [10:02] | Dusty’s an expert on Orient… Uh… | |
| [10:05] | – Asian inscrutability. – Very good. | |
| [10:09] | – So it went good? – [both] Oh. | |
| [10:11] | Excellent. We told them we lost all their money, | |
| [10:13] | and they gave us $3 million. | |
| [10:16] | [George Sr.] So, uh, what’s the proper Asian response to that? | |
| [10:19] | – You can’t keep it. – What? | |
| [10:21] | You’re supposed to give it back. | |
| [10:22] | That way, you can save face. | |
| [10:25] | I lost this face when I was 65. | |
| [10:26] | I’m keeping the money. | |
| [10:28] | They didn’t give it to you as a gift. | |
| [10:30] | They gave it to you as a chance to regain your pride. | |
| [10:33] | If you keep the money, they’ll be mildly displeased | |
| [10:36] | and probably seek a merciless revenge. | |
| [10:38] | But if you give it back to them, see, that’s it, you’re out. | |
| [10:42] | Hard to hear, I know. | |
| [10:44] | But there’s freedom for you in the exchange. | |
| [10:46] | [Ron] Dusty had more wisdom than it appeared. | |
| [10:49] | – You said we’d get ice cream. – [Lucille gasps] | |
| [10:51] | I have to get Dusty ice cream. | |
| [10:55] | – Um… – [door opens] | |
| [10:58] | [door closes] | |
| [11:01] | [Ron] Meanwhile, Maeby was growing tired of her living conditions. | |
| [11:05] | – [Maeby] Stan, turn down Wayne Brady! – I surely couldn’t. [laughs] | |
| [11:08] | [troupe laughs] | |
| [11:13] | Anyway, none of it was our fault. | |
| [11:15] | For whatever reason, our dreams have not panned out. | |
| [11:20] | [DeBrie] I just wanted to get out | |
| [11:21] | of doing things like Straightbait. | |
| [11:23] | I just couldn’t do another group [bleep] scene, | |
| [11:25] | but I love staying at Tent City. | |
| [11:27] | Yes, but that turned out to be a travel and adventure store. | |
| [11:30] | And we were squatting right in the middle of their summer two-for-one. | |
| [11:33] | But that’s when we met Buster, who told us where you were. | |
| [11:36] | Guys, this is not an option. | |
| [11:38] | These two aren’t even our real family. | |
| [11:40] | Besides, Stan’s already getting suspicious of me as an old lady. | |
| [11:43] | He’s certainly not gonna buy it from you. | |
| [11:45] | And I’m not gonna last much longer if I can’t get rid of this guy. | |
| [11:47] | [Murph] Oh, like… like a boyfriend? | |
| [11:49] | ‘Cause you’re rather quite attractive for an older lady. | |
| [11:52] | [Tobias] That is your half-sister. | |
| [11:56] | Okay, the party. | |
| [11:57] | ‘Cause I was gonna say, does she have, like, a half-daughter? | |
| [12:00] | – Oh, that’s not… – What is this? | |
| [12:02] | Voices up. [laughs] | |
| [12:03] | [in high-pitched voice] Enchanté. | |
| [12:06] | Are these people your family? | |
| [12:08] | Is that why you wanted me to go? | |
| [12:13] | [Ron] And caught with nowhere to hide, | |
| [12:15] | she decided to tell the truth. | |
| [12:17] | Yes. They are. | |
| [12:23] | I shall pack my things. | |
| [12:27] | [Maeby] Well, that was a freebie. | |
| [12:30] | Now I just gotta figure out how to get rid of you guys. | |
| [12:32] | [troupe laughs] | |
| [12:37] | Group hug. | |
| [12:38] | – Group hug. – No. I don’t want to… | |
| [12:40] | Hug. Hug. Hug, DeBrie. Group hug. | |
| [12:43] | [troupe giggles] | |
| [12:44] | [Ron] And while Maeby had finally accepted her family, | |
| [12:48] | Michael was ready to investigate his. | |
| [12:54] | [Michael] Where are you, banana stand money? | |
| [13:07] | “There’s always money in the banana stand.” | |
| [13:11] | That’s gotta be from South Park. | |
| [13:14] | [Ron] Back at the office, the employees were growing restless. | |
| [13:18] | Which one is getting suspicious? | |
| [13:20] | Yeah, I think all of them. | |
| [13:22] | They keep throwing these tough tech questions at me, like, | |
| [13:24] | “What should we be working on?” Stuff like that. | |
| [13:26] | I hate “What should we be working on?” | |
| [13:29] | ‘Cause then you’re tempted to be like, | |
| [13:30] | “Know what? We need you to invent Fakeblock.” | |
| [13:32] | The minute you say that… | |
| [13:33] | Then they know there’s no Fakeblock. | |
| [13:35] | Yeah. I mean, isn’t this why we hired a president? | |
| [13:37] | Exactly to not answer these questions. | |
| [13:39] | [George Michael] He said he’s putting together some surprise. | |
| [13:43] | You know what these people need? | |
| [13:44] | A little leadership and a little inspiration. | |
| [13:47] | So go give it to ’em. There you go. | |
| [13:49] | – Wait, me? Well, I don’t… – [Maeby] Get out there. | |
| [13:54] | Hey, guys. | |
| [13:59] | – Yo. – [man] Hey. | |
| [14:02] | All right, question: | |
| [14:04] | How many of you wake up with a knot in your stomach? | |
| [14:11] | Right. Me, too. | |
| [14:15] | But I like to think of that knot in my stomach | |
| [14:18] | as a little ball of energy. | |
| [14:22] | You know, it keeps me frightened | |
| [14:25] | when I should be calm. | |
| [14:28] | It pumps adrenaline through my veins | |
| [14:31] | when ordinary blood is what I need. | |
| [14:36] | But, you know, all of these things can create a winning spirit. | |
| [14:41] | One that I would like for all of you to share in. | |
| [14:44] | So that we can turn those knots in our stomach | |
| [14:48] | into why-nots. | |
| [14:51] | – [employees murmur in approval] – You know? | |
| [14:53] | People say there… there’s no such thing | |
| [14:56] | as privacy on the Internet. | |
| [14:58] | – Well, why not? – Why not? | |
| [15:00] | – [man 2] Yeah. – Right. | |
| [15:01] | People say no one can build | |
| [15:03] | a completely impenetrable wall. | |
| [15:05] | – Why not? – [employees] Why not? | |
| [15:08] | And, you know, people say you shouldn’t start a company | |
| [15:10] | without cracking the technology | |
| [15:13] | that supports the flagship product of the company. | |
| [15:17] | For obvious reasons. | |
| [15:18] | – Well, why not? – [employees] Why not? | |
| [15:21] | And what if you find out you’re never gonna get paid, | |
| [15:23] | there is no product, and you’re like, | |
| [15:25] | “Well, we can’t let him get away with this.” | |
| [15:27] | – Well, why not? – [employees murmuring] | |
| [15:29] | [Ron] That may have been a step too far. | |
| [15:31] | But it wouldn’t matter, | |
| [15:32] | because Maeby had just gotten some good news. | |
| [15:35] | Sorry, um, we… we did it. | |
| [15:37] | – What? – We just sold Fakeblock. | |
| [15:39] | – What? – Yeah. | |
| [15:42] | – We sold it? Uh, how much? – Yeah. | |
| [15:44] | Three million dollars. | |
| [15:46] | – Three million dollars? – [Maeby] Yeah. | |
| [15:48] | That’s way more than Rebel was ever offering. | |
| [15:50] | There’s no way she can be mad at me. | |
| [15:51] | Who cares if she’s mad at you or not? | |
| [15:53] | – We did it. We are geniuses. – [George Michael] I can stop lying to Dad. | |
| [15:56] | I mean, I feel bad for the new owner. | |
| [15:58] | It’s bogus software. I mean, what if it bankrupts them? | |
| [16:00] | Oh, click. | |
| [16:01] | How sorry can you feel for some guy | |
| [16:03] | who’s obviously incredibly rich and has $3 million to drop | |
| [16:07] | on a .wav file that’s just the sound of a piece of wood. | |
| [16:11] | [George Michael, laughing] You know… | |
| [16:13] | We had those checks issued to you, | |
| [16:14] | and you’re thinking, “We want to cash those checks.” | |
| [16:17] | – Well, why not? – [employees] Why not? | |
| [16:19] | Why the hell not? | |
| [16:21] | – [laughs] Yeah. – Keep doing what you’re doing. | |
| [16:23] | – Cash those checks. – [employees whoop] | |
| [16:25] | – [George Michael] We’ve got jobs. – [Ron] While they were | |
| [16:27] | – getting out of the business… – [Maeby] Except us. | |
| [16:28] | – Yeah, we’re out of here. – …directly upstairs, | |
| [16:31] | George and Lucille were finally back in it. | |
| [16:34] | – Hello, hello. – [gasps] There he is, | |
| [16:36] | the man of the hour! | |
| [16:39] | You all right, Mom? | |
| [16:40] | I’m just happy to see you. | |
| [16:41] | That’s what’s off. | |
| [16:43] | How was that meeting with the Chinese investors? | |
| [16:45] | It was fantastic. I mean, | |
| [16:47] | that advice you gave us, the honesty thing, | |
| [16:50] | it was… it was great. Thank you. | |
| [16:52] | The truth came out of my mouth as easy as any lie I could’ve thought of. | |
| [16:55] | [George Sr.] She was so believable. | |
| [16:57] | I thought she was lying. | |
| [16:58] | [Lucille] It was like the opposite of Pinocchio. | |
| [17:01] | I swear, I think my nose got smaller. | |
| [17:03] | Well, wouldn’t have been the first time. | |
| [17:05] | [George Sr.] Anyway, it worked. | |
| [17:07] | The wall is off, and we are out of that contract. | |
| [17:10] | Everything is good. | |
| [17:11] | – And we can start over. – That’s so great. | |
| [17:13] | That’s so great. That’s just… It’s perfect. | |
| [17:15] | You… You know, you guys | |
| [17:17] | finally discovered the value of telling the truth. | |
| [17:19] | I just… I wish that you had learned that | |
| [17:21] | before you lied to me. | |
| [17:23] | Can you be more specific with that? | |
| [17:25] | – There’s been a number of lies. – [Michael] Sure. | |
| [17:28] | When you told me that this company was bankrupt. | |
| [17:30] | – But we are bankrupt, Michael. – [George Sr.] Flat broke. | |
| [17:32] | But the family business is still alive, and the Bluths are back. | |
| [17:36] | – We are bigger and better than ever. – [Michael] Okay. | |
| [17:39] | I dug a little bit deeper, and I found some extra capital. | |
| [17:42] | Really? That’s fantastic. | |
| [17:43] | – But how much? – Yeah. | |
| [17:44] | Hey, um… Oh, everybody’s here. | |
| [17:46] | – Hi. – I was hoping to talk to you for a minute. | |
| [17:48] | I have something I want to discuss with you, too. | |
| [17:50] | I was just gonna call down, have you come up. | |
| [17:52] | Mine is private. It’s business-related. | |
| [17:53] | Well, this is a business conference room. Why don’t you share it here? | |
| [17:56] | – [sighs] – You might as well just tell him. | |
| [18:00] | – I sold Fakeblock. – [Ron] And as George Michael | |
| [18:03] | prepared himself for his father’s disappointment… | |
| [18:06] | You what? | |
| [18:07] | That’s so great! | |
| [18:10] | – You’re not disappointed? – Disappointed? | |
| [18:13] | No, I’m not disappointed. Boy, George Michael. | |
| [18:16] | – And we got three mil for it. – Come on. | |
| [18:19] | You sold your first business, and you got three million? | |
| [18:21] | [shrieks] Three mil? That is such great news! | |
| [18:25] | Mr. Big Business, sold your company. How do you feel? | |
| [18:29] | To be honest, I feel incredibly relieved. | |
| [18:31] | I’m glad I stuck it out and didn’t declare bankruptcy. | |
| [18:34] | It’s been a tremendous pressure on us. | |
| [18:36] | We had to pay off the employees, and the bank took the rest of it, | |
| [18:39] | – but I’m glad I’m back at zero. – [George Sr.] We’re both at zero. | |
| [18:42] | – It’s great. – Did this by himself. | |
| [18:44] | All that burden on your shoulders. | |
| [18:46] | No one to help you. A little baby Atlas. | |
| [18:49] | – Oh, is that how you see me? – Hmm? Oh, doesn’t matter. | |
| [18:51] | Hey, I got an announcement to make myself, okay? | |
| [18:53] | Since I found some extra money, | |
| [18:55] | I decided to expand. And what is the company motto? | |
| [18:58] | Find a little extra money, put it in a Bluth. | |
| [19:01] | I bought Fakeblock. | |
| [19:04] | What? | |
| [19:06] | [Maeby] No, um… | |
| [19:07] | No, this company, uh, B.S. Enterprises, bought Fakeblock. | |
| [19:10] | I’m B.S. Enterprises. It… It was “Banana Stand,” | |
| [19:13] | but it’s also got a second meaning. | |
| [19:15] | – Bullshit. – Bluth and Son. | |
| [19:18] | I bought you! I had to use a shell company because I knew | |
| [19:21] | you were gonna give me a discount, | |
| [19:23] | and I wasn’t gonna have that. | |
| [19:24] | You bought Fakeblock? This is… | |
| [19:27] | This is a dream come true, is it not? | |
| [19:29] | That’s how I felt when I found | |
| [19:30] | the money for it in a hidden account. | |
| [19:33] | Well, that certainly explains the complete lack of vetting | |
| [19:35] | – of our software. – [Michael] Mm-hmm, sure. Listen, | |
| [19:37] | I’m not gonna get involved in any of that tech stuff, | |
| [19:40] | even though I did spend that couple of months | |
| [19:41] | at the Search campus. But I’m not gonna start coding, | |
| [19:44] | ’cause if Fakeblock doesn’t work, we lose both companies for good. | |
| [19:47] | You understand? | |
| [19:48] | – [George Michael] I thought it was over. – You thought it was over. | |
| [19:50] | Look how emotional he is, huh? | |
| [19:52] | Listen, that’s why I stepped in. Fakeblock ain’t going nowhere. | |
| [19:56] | [Ron] But while Michael enjoyed that the news made his son so happy, | |
| [19:59] | he was even more eager to see it do the opposite | |
| [20:02] | – to his parents. – Where’d you find that three million? | |
| [20:05] | In your banana stand slush fund. | |
| [20:08] | I mean, I… I know that you have been | |
| [20:09] | ripping us off with money for years, but $3 million? | |
| [20:13] | – Shh. – That’s not our money, Michael. | |
| [20:15] | Listen to me. That money was given | |
| [20:17] | to us by the Chinese so we could give it back to them. | |
| [20:20] | It was face-saving money. | |
| [20:22] | And now you’ve spent it, and on what? | |
| [20:24] | My son’s future. And that money’s gonna now save | |
| [20:26] | the company, because it’s invested in something valuable. | |
| [20:28] | [George Sr.] We were out. You understand? | |
| [20:31] | We were out. No wall. No wall. | |
| [20:33] | But if the Chinese see we’re buying companies, | |
| [20:35] | they’re going to want it now. | |
| [20:37] | And we are screwed. Do you understand that? | |
| [20:39] | You, me, and especially George Michael. | |
| [20:43] | – Unless you get the money back from him. – No, no. | |
| [20:45] | No, no. George Michael’s got nothing to do with this. | |
| [20:47] | You better tell that to the Chinese, | |
| [20:48] | because they will trace the $3 million to him, | |
| [20:51] | and they will be mildly displeased. | |
| [20:54] | You have to get that money back. | |
| [20:55] | They’re going to be mildly displeased. | |
| [20:58] | Mildly displeased. | |
| [20:59] | It’s too late. You heard him. He paid off his debts. | |
| [21:02] | You just can’t say I made a good decision. | |
| [21:04] | Dad, I’m mildly displeased about something. | |
| [21:06] | This. This is what I spent your money on. Look at him. | |
| [21:08] | George Michael, tell them how great your company is | |
| [21:11] | and that the son they can’t compliment is about to make them rich. | |
| [21:16] | Tell them that I made the right choice. | |
| [21:24] | [sighs] You made the right choice. | |
| [21:27] | Fakeblock is real. | |
| [21:30] | It’s a… It’s a very weird way | |
| [21:32] | to say it, but, you know, Fakeblock, it’s real. | |
| [21:36] | This is the… This is the best investment | |
| [21:37] | this family has made in years. | |
| [21:40] | I feel sick. | |
| [21:41] | I’ve felt better. | |
| [21:43] | Wait till you find out who the new president is. | |
| [21:45] | – Oh, no. – Did somebody say, | |
| [21:48] | “Wait until you find out who the president is”? | |
| [21:51] | Yes, but then we figured it out, and your father said, “Oh, no.” | |
| [21:54] | [George Sr.] So we’ve got $3 million | |
| [21:56] | tied up in something Gob’s in charge of? | |
| [21:59] | [Maeby] Maybe we could just hire him, like, a really good assistant. | |
| [22:02] | One step ahead of you. | |
| [22:03] | I took this guy home with me last night after I found him | |
| [22:06] | next to the police station. | |
| [22:08] | Please say hello to my new right-hand man! | |
| [22:15] | – Now, geo-bead. – Did somebody say, | |
| [22:17] | “I took this guy home with me after I found him | |
| [22:19] | next to the police station. Say hello…” | |
| [22:23] | [Gob] Well, that would’ve been better if it was his right hand, | |
| [22:26] | but, uh… but I figured, if somebody’s willing to spend 3KK on my company, | |
| [22:31] | – might be able to spread wealth on myself. – Did my hand get off on this floor? | |
| [22:36] | Well, look who finally decided to show up. | |
| [22:38] | Steve McQueen from The Great Escape. | |
| [22:41] | I take it you saw the unwanted posters? | |
| [22:44] | [Buster] Yes, and I got the hint. | |
| [22:46] | – No one was chasing after me. – [Lucille gasps] | |
| [22:48] | Oh, right. It had two meanings. | |
| [22:51] | Well, I’m sorry. | |
| [22:52] | But if you hadn’t insisted on being in that stupid parade, | |
| [22:55] | none of this would’ve happened. | |
| [22:56] | Yes, well, that parade created a great deal of… | |
| [22:59] | pain for a lot of us. | |
| [23:02] | ♪ Who’s gonna tell you when… ♪ | |
| [23:05] | But, anyway, we’re here to celebrate. | |
| [23:08] | I’m sure somebody did something to make this a party | |
| [23:10] | – for the president. – [elevator dings] | |
| [23:11] | Bluth? | |
| [23:12] | [George Sr.] Wait a minute. What’s going on? | |
| [23:14] | Oh, Wait, what’s going… | |
| [23:16] | Who did this? Is this because I’m still gay? | |
| [23:18] | Hot Cops? On such short notice? Who did this? | |
| [23:21] | – ‘Cause the conversion didn’t take? – Buster Bluth? | |
| [23:23] | Yes! Who did this? | |
| [23:25] | – Who did this? – You’re under arrest. | |
| [23:27] | [Ron] Gob believed he did this. | |
| [23:29] | [man on recording] Leave a message for Hot Cops! | |
| [23:31] | [Gob] How’d you like to make a fifth of a K? | |
| [23:33] | [Ron] But the real cops weren’t out of business | |
| [23:35] | and were about to stumble on a big piece of evidence. | |
| [23:42] | Well, now I’ve seen it all. | |
| [23:45] | – But Gob knew none of this. – [Gob] Oh, I wish I had | |
| [23:48] | – my boom box! I just… Ah, here it goes! – [giggling] | |
| [23:51] | [humming “The Final Countdown”] | |
| [23:52] | [officer] You have the right to remain silent. | |
| [23:54] | Anything you say or do can and will be used | |
| [23:56] | against you in a court of law. You have the right | |
| [23:58] | – to an attorney. – [Gob continues humming] | |
| [24:00] | [officer] If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. | |
| [24:05] | [“The Final Countdown” playing] | |
| [24:08] | [Ron] On the next Arrested Development… | |
| [24:12] | [Ron] Gob continues to sing… | |
| [24:13] | [continues humming “The Final Countdown”] | |
| [24:16] | God, I wish I had another smoke bomb. | |
| [24:18] | …well after the rest of the family realizes | |
| [24:20] | that Buster has been arrested. | |
| [24:22] | [Gob continues humming] | |
| [24:32] | I’m gonna take the stairs. [continues humming] | |
| [24:38] | [upbeat music playing] |
