NARRATEUR It's Arrested Development. YOUNG LUCILLE Oh, look who thinks they can wear white. YOUNG LINDSAY You don't like this on me? YOUNG LUCILLE Uh well, frankly, it's hard to think about it over the sound of- Was there a cat in here? YOUNG LINDSAY That was my singing. That's my talent. YOUNG LUCILLE Oh. You'll be fine. YOUNG LUCILLE Most people close their eyes when they plug their ears. YOUNG MICHAEL It's not true. YOUNG GOB It is, Michael. It's very impossible not to. YOUNG GOB Well, I can. This should be my talent. YOUNG MICHAEL The competition is in 40 seconds, you still have nothing? YOUNG GOB I mean, I could see that you're talking but I just. I'm not a lip reader. YOUNG LUCILLE It'll be fine, honey. Maybe it'll be better if you don't win this one. YOUNG LUCILLE And you wouldn't be losing much, just a cruise with your grandmother. YOUNG GOB Okay, I heard that. YOUNG GOB With Lindsay out of the competition and Buster gone missing, you're my only real competition, Michael. YOUNG MICHAEL What do you mean "gone missing"? YOUNG GOB I- I told you. YOUNG GOB My plan. I took Buster off his leash, I brought him down to the beach- Don't worry, I told him how to swim. YOUNG GOB Hmm. Only thing is, I have to figure out how to neutralize you, Michael. YOUNG MICHAEL Oh my- Oh my God! YOUNG GOB That was creepy. YOUNG GOB YOUNG GOB But where did the confetti come from? YOUNG GEORGE SR From Michael's hat. These are so easy. YOUNG GOB That's it, I'm done. Oh. YOUNG GOB Abra. YOUNG GOB cadaver. YOUNG GOB YOUNG GEORGE SR What do you think? Can we chisel off the hat of this thing without taking off the old guy's head. YOUNG LUCILLE MIMI Well, the competition is not over. We haven't seen Lindsay. YOUNG LINDSAY And you never will. I wanna save you the trouble of having to close your eyes while plugging your ears. YOUNG LINDSAY So, how's this for my talent? YOUNG GEORGE SR Honestly, I don't know how tap dancing goes, doesn't take the whole thing. Should we just throw a handkerchief over this? YOUNG LUCILLE Michael will do something impressing. Don't worry. YOUNG MICHAEL Buster went in the water. Tried to swim, he almost drowned. YOUNG LUCILLE Oh my God! Do something! Save him! MIMI Oh, God! YOUNG GOB No, no, no. This isn't-this isn't Michael's talent. This doesn't- this doesn't count! YOUNG LUCILLE Who took off his gentleman collar? YOUNG GOB Oh, spirit of this dead bird fly into my dead brother! YOUNG BUSTER YOUNG LUCILLE Oh my God. YOUNG GOB Not too bad. YOUNG GEORGE SR Well, we all know who the hero is today. YOUNG GEORGE SR I think we have our new Mr. and Mrs. Bluth. Michael and Buster. YOUNG LUCILLE You're okay, honey, mommy's here. And as much juice as you want tonight. Tonight you get juice. NARRATEUR It was the day of Buster's trial. GEORGE SR Hi. NARRATEUR And while the Bluth family was feeling tense. GEORGE SR You okay? BUSTER Uh-uh. BUSTER Where is Dusty? NARRATEUR they were hoping the same was not true for their attorney. GEORGE SR Oh, he probably wants to make an entrance. And I- I think he's gonna come in nice and relaxed. GEORGE SR And thank you again for being a team player on that one. GEORGE SR Believe me, the guilt will fade. GEORGE SR I mean, I've cheated on you a thousand times, I mean, almost makes up for the permanent damage it did to my integrin system. LUCILLE Oh-oh. DUSTY God! GEORGE SR Easy. DUSTY Oh, man! What a day. GEORGE SR I'm sorry, what did DUSTY I heard my- My dad's in the hospital. Just- LUCILLE So don't- don't worry about that. Dusty, don't worry about that. You need to focus on your opening statement. DUSTY I didn't need this today. DUSTY I go first? You said I was second! I'm not ready! LUCILLE You are second. DUSTY BAILIFF All rise for the honorable judge Spencer Stanley presiding. JUDGE SPENCER STANLEY Please be seated. GEORGE SR I can not wait to see her reaction when she sees him. LOTTIE DOTTIE You cut your hair. DUSTY Oh, yeah. GEORGE SR Does she look rattled to you? NARRATEUR And soon Michael arrived. Just in time for the opening argument. LOTTIE DOTTIE And so by the time this case is finished, the defense will probably have you review a video. The one here. LOTTIE DOTTIE Where they'll claim that he had nearly approached and discovered a body on the stairs, and then claimed it miraculously disappeared. BUSTER It did. LOTTIE DOTTIE And so it would seem that it did. LOTTIE DOTTIE Unless a closer look was made of the time code. LOTTIE DOTTIE We'll learn that the five minute gap was the result of Buster trying to destroy the evidence. LOTTIE DOTTIE And we'll also review footage of the same stair car on the bluff over the ocean. LOTTIE DOTTIE And a man who appears to be Mr. Bluth tossing what appears to be Ms. Austero into the surf. LOTTIE DOTTIE Let's remember why we're all here. LOTTIE DOTTIE To honor the life of the most charitable, vibrant, balanced, LOTTIE DOTTIE beautiful woman named Lucille this town has ever known. GOB Burn. GOB Uh, just- just that my mother's name is Lucille as well, so the- the burn was on her. JUDGE SPENCER STANLEY I'll allow the burn. JUDGE SPENCER STANLEY Mr. Radler, you may begin your opening argument for the defense. DUSTY I- I know. DUSTY BUSTER DUSTY Oh! NARRATEUR Things were off to a bad start, but on the plus side. GOB DUSTY Oh! LOTTIE DOTTIE If you find that funny, wait till you hear the defense's opening argument. NARRATEUR Dusty got the laugh he'd hoped for at the start of the his defense. DUSTY Oh! DUSTY I- I didn't know about the videotape so I mean. If you'll please- DUSTY Hmm. Yeah. DUSTY You can just see he- he's throwing the body right off the cliff, so everyone's like, uh. What else could it be? Oh. DUSTY I didn't even know you could use a videotape. NARRATEUR But to the Bluth's surprise, the DA didn't immediately call for a mistrial. DUSTY Oh that came as a surprise. DUSTY I'm feeling like people are judging me and it's just not making me feel that great. DUSTY I feel like- I got like, totally the hard part of this game. GEORGE SR What the hell is going on? NARRATEUR although she did show uncommon empathy to the opposing counsel. LOTTIE DOTTIE You're okay. You can do it. You're ready. GEORGE SR Did everything go okay last night? LUCILLE I think I made a terrible mistake. NARRATEUR In fact, she had. As the night before, while believing she was paying a carnal visit to Dusty. LUCILLE Hello? I can hear you breathing. LUCILLE So you did know I was coming. LUCILLE Good for you getting a head start. LUCILLE And speaking of that. LUCILLE Oh, it's dark in here. It's okay. LUCILLE I'm going to unplug this for a while. NARRATEUR but had the lights been on, Lucille would've discovered that the tubes and other accoutrements weren't there for Dusty's erotic entertainment. LUCILLE NARRATEUR but were instead the implements that kept Dusty's centenarian father alive. GOB So Lottie is his ex. LUCILLE Step mom. GEORGE SR God. DUSTY I really appreciate this, Lottie. LOTTIE DOTTIE Please. I've known you since you were 30. LOTTIE DOTTIE And you can call me mom. DUSTY Mom. LOTTIE DOTTIE If- If the judge will allow it, permission to hug the defense counsel? JUDGE SPENCER STANLEY Hell yeah. Let's get the hug on. DUSTY Yeah! Yeah! LOTTIE DOTTIE DUSTY Oh! LOTTIE DOTTIE Wow, you're such a good baby! NARRATEUR It would have been a great ending for a romantic movie, but it was a horrible beginning for a gruesome murder trial. BUSTER What a baby! WOMAN BROWN HAIR Shut up, murderer! WOMAN BROWN HAIR Well, he is, clearly. NARRATEUR And during a break and both the trial and the hug of the opposing attorneys, Lucille caught up with Dusty. DUSTY That was brutal. I don't know if you noticed, but. DUSTY I was a little nervous for my first murder trail- No, my first anything trial. Not bad, right? LUCILLE That was humiliating. I thought Lottie was your ex wife. DUSTY No. I mean, she's a little old for me, don't you think? She's like. DUSTY your age. DUSTY Look, I'm sorry. Maybe I wasn't clear about our relationship. DUSTY Hmm. Are you super mad at me? LUCILLE Oh, for God's sake, stop talking like a child. I mean, how old are you? DUSTY Fifty-six and a half. LUCILLE Jesus! Pull yourself together. DUSTY Absolutely. Not gonna let that ruin my recess. MICHAEL What in the hell was that? MICHAEL I thought this was Dustin Radler, the fierce trial attorney, the only one who's ever beaten Lottie. LUCILLE Well, as it turns out, the Dustin Radler I've been with is his son. MICHAEL Oh my God, he's a mother boy. MICHAEL There were- there were no hints before today? LUCILLE Just that I only ever seem to create or attract them. MICHAEL Well, you got us into this mess, what are you gonna do about it? LUCILLE All right. I made an awful choice, LUCILLE but did I give you a hard time when you gave all our life rights to Imagined Films to make some TV show? LUCILLE That was somewhat a mess of you. MICHAEL Yes, you did. As it turns out, nothing came of that project, which I predicted, MICHAEL just like I predicted your bet on the DA calling a mistrial wasn't exactly beating the odds. She offered him gum. LUCILLE Okay, I hired a completely incompetent lawyer and put my son's life in the hands of moron, LUCILLE and I know what you want me to say, Michael. Okay, I'll say it. My bad. MICHAEL Wow, I don't think that I've heard you apologize since, um. MICHAEL uh, since people used to use that phrase to apologize. MICHAEL Okay, well, I think we may have to beg the judge to declare a mistrial. LUCILLE No, we have to do this now, while they still don't have a body. LUCILLE It's our best chance for acquittal. We'll work with what we have. LUCILLE Maybe her maternal instincts will kick in and we'll benefit from her being his stepmother. MICHAEL Yeah, I don't know about that. He's not a child after all. MICHAEL It occurs to me that he may not come back from recess unless he hears a bell. I'll go get him. NARRATEUR As the trial was continuing, Dusty was desperate for any kind of witness. TOBIAS So happy to be able to audition for... TOBIAS Guys and Dolls when it came along. NARRATEUR Even one that came with a head shot. TOBIAS I was more than interested to try out to be one of the character witnesses in Buster's trial. DUSTY Well, Tobias, thank you so much for offering. BUSTER It's very nice. TOBIAS Oh, please. I know the Buster character better than anyone. BUSTER Hmm. TOBIAS I could play Buster with one arm tied behind my back. TOBIAS In fact, I'd play Buster with two arms tied behind my back. TOBIAS I was hand cuffed. POLICEMAN 1 I got- TOBIAS Well, this is. They're buying it! BUSTER Now, that's a witness. DUSTY Um, we don't need you to play Buster on the stand, more just talk about him as a person. TOBIAS Oh, well. TOBIAS You don't think I'd be more appealing as the accused? I mean, the Buster I played could never kill. DUSTY Yeah, it- it's really not an acting job, man. TOBIAS Yes, yes, just don't push, I get it. Don't push. DUSTY Just tell the story the way you told it to me earlier today, beginning with what you were doing on the night of the murder. DUSTY Alleged murder. Alleged. TOBIAS Yes. Yes. TOBIAS TOBIAS It was Cinco de Cuatro. DUSTY No, no. I'm gonna stop you. I- I still feel like you're acting. TOBIAS Really? Huh. So just no script at all? You just vérité? Okay. Well, here it is with nothing. TOBIAS I needed somebody to play a part in my fantastic, TOBIAS for legal purposes I can't say the rest of it, musical, and Buster happily filled in. NARRATEUR Well, "happily" might have been an overstatement. TOBIAS Buster, oh, thank God. I need your help. I've got a show to do in ten minutes and I haven't got a thing to wear. This thing-suit. BUSTER I've gotta find Lucille two. I gotta give her pictures. I don't know the songs. TOBIAS You're a monster, you don't have to be any good. BUSTER What? TOBIAS Now, just go, "Thing, you're hard-" DUSTY So you're saying Buster was performing as the Rock Monster when the murder allegedly took place? I mean, is that true, Buster? BUSTER That's what I told you. He asked me to that night. DUSTY And you'll confirm that on the stand? TOBIAS I will. TOBIAS And perhaps I'll do it in an English accent! TOBIAS Nay, nay. I shan't. I shall stick to the script. TOBIAS Not script. No, vérité. I have taken the note. Vérité. Yes, yes. DUSTY Great. TOBIAS Now, I do wish I could do this gratis, but I'm having a bit of a shelter crisis of late and I hate to play hard ball. DUSTY Uh, I don't think that they pay witnesses. TOBIAS Hmm. TOBIAS Uh, unrelated, what happens to this room when you leave? DUSTY Yeah, I think they lock it up at night. TOBIAS Damn it! TOBIAS Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. TOBIAS Damn it! TOBIAS I just. TOBIAS need somewhere to s- TOBIAS All right, well, gentlemen, thank you so much for your time. TOBIAS And I will be seeing you. NARRATEUR But back at the model home an unemployed Micheal was doing his own courtroom preparation when he had a visit from the son who had unemployed him. GEORGE MICHAEL Hey, dad. MICHAEL Hello, son. GEORGE MICHAEL Figured you'd be up here. MICHAEL Yeah. Well, that's father-son psychic connection. GEORGE MICHAEL The drop stairs were down, and you were yelling, "Where is it?" MICHAEL Oh, that helps, too. MICHAEL Just trying to find some old law books. Lottie Dottie Da did say that Dusty would give the Guilty Guys a run for their money. MICHAEL I think she was being sarcastic but I'm free now so I'm gonna try and help out in court, which is why I'm trying to find. MICHAEL a copy of A Few Good Men. Plug it, how did that get in there? MICHAEL Actually, I thought I'd find my maritime law diploma, you know, as proof I passed what they call the wet bar. GEORGE MICHAEL You know, you may not have to get involved here, dad. I mean, is this something maritime law even applies to, here? MICHAEL It should, he dumped her in the ocean. GEORGE MICHAEL True. MICHAEL Allegedly. Allegedly. I mean, obviously, allegedly. GEORGE MICHAEL I'm just kind of worried this part of that thing you always do. You just try to fix things, GEORGE MICHAEL then you just end up putting yourself in the middle of them. You have to be the hero. MICHAEL I do not get in the middle of things. GEORGE MICHAEL You dated my girlfriend, you moved into my dorm room. MICHAEL Hey, you make it sound like I'm always in your business. GEORGE MICHAEL You bought my business. MICHAEL Well, I bet she's- GEORGE MICHAEL Which has been a huge headache, by the way, now I have to deliver this border wall to the Chinese. MICHAEL These are great points. MICHAEL But what you don't know is that there's a reason I had to announce that. GEORGE MICHAEL I know about the foot. GEORGE MICHAEL It's why I had to fire you, because by trying to fix things, you just end up putting yourself in the middle of a much bigger risk. GEORGE MICHAEL If you think the Chinese are mad now, wait until they find out that Fakeblock is not even. GEORGE MICHAEL perfect yet. MICHAEL So I hear. MICHAEL I cannot even get past the logo so you're close. MICHAEL But I get it, you need time and money, and I know I was against this originally but maybe you can still sell it to Rebel. GEORGE MICHAEL No, I would never do that. MICHAEL Thank God. MICHAEL Becasue she's just using you for the software. MICHAEL But I'm not getting in the middle of anything, I'm just agreeing with you. Don't even need to know your reasons. MICHAEL But why? Just out of curiosity, why can't you sell Fakeblock to Rebel? And just- just consider it a- a question from an outsider. GEORGE MICHAEL Because she dumped me. MICHAEL You're not just trying to please me by saying this? GEORGE MICHAEL And I wish I could give her the software to get her back but. GEORGE MICHAEL it's- it's fake. MICHAEL I knew it. I knew it! MICHAEL She's not over me? GEORGE MICHAEL No, Fakeblock. It's fake. GEORGE MICHAEL There is no privacy software. I made the whole thing up. MICHAEL Made it up? You told me a lie because you. GEORGE MICHAEL I lied to you because you seemed so proud of me and then. GEORGE MICHAEL my lying just got me in deeper and deeper, and then you bought the company, GEORGE MICHAEL and I had to fire you so that you wouldn't get in trouble, GEORGE MICHAEL and now the whole family is in trouble and I have no idea how to solve it. GEORGE MICHAEL I'm sorry, dad. Are you mad? MICHAEL Uh no. MICHAEL Mm-mm. I'm not- I'm not mad, I, uh, I get it. You had your reasons. MICHAEL Um I- I do wish that I had not removed all of my privacy software and replaced it with Fakeblock. MICHAEL But on the other hand, it does explain why Aminder from Kuala Lumpur keeps signing into my LinkedIn. GEORGE MICHAEL MICHAEL GEORGE MICHAEL Chinese are gonna kill us. MICHAEL I'll get us out of it. GEORGE MICHAEL Please don't. NARRATEUR And back at the trail, without Tobias, Dusty was without a witness for the night of the murder, But Lottie had found one. LOTTIE DOTTIE I call to the witness stand, Gene Parmesan. GENE PARMESAN Gene Parmesan. GENE PARMESAN Gene Parmesan. JUDGE SPENCER STANLEY Doesn't seem like he's here. LOTTIE DOTTIE That's impossible. He's a private detective, he'd never be late. GENE PARMESAN Well, has anyone checked under the. GENE PARMESAN new bailiff? GENE PARMESAN Gene Parmesan. LUCILLE Gene! BUSTER Ah! GENE PARMESAN And I swear to tell the truth, so help me God. LUCILLE That never gets old! GENE PARMESAN I'll tell you something else that never gets old. Whoa, I'm under oath. LOTTIE DOTTIE On the night of Cinco de Cuatro, you were undercover working selling donkey punch, isn't that correct? GENE PARMESAN Yeah. GENE PARMESAN Definitely undercover, I don't need two jobs 'cause everything's going really good. LOTTIE DOTTIE What exactly is in a donkey punch? GENE PARMESAN Mostly Kool-Aid. LOTTIE DOTTIE So it's similar to juice then. GENE PARMESAN It is. NARRATEUR Lucille was concerned. The DA appeared to have done her homework on Buster and his lack of restraint under the influence of sugary juice. BUSTER God, this is just like a Mother's day, yay! NARRATEUR And she found herself resenting a man she'd once admired. LOTTIE DOTTIE Your witness. NARRATEUR But Lottie stopped short of making that point. DUSTY Do you want me to take it easy on him? Give it to him hard? I know he's a friend of yours. LUCILLE Oh, he's not my friend anymore. LUCILLE Testifying against our family after all the times I faked being surprised by him? NARRATEUR So Dusty went after the witness' credibility. DUSTY Mister Parmesan, you say you're a master of disguises. DUSTY How many looks are you capable of creating? JUDGE SPENCER STANLEY You're asking me? JUDGE SPENCER STANLEY I'm the judge. GENE PARMESAN I'm Gene Parmesan. DUSTY You said you had an undercover job, which means you must have left the donkey punch stand. Isn't that correct? LUCILLE GENE PARMESAN Mm-hmm. GENE PARMESAN Yes, it is. DUSTY So you can't dispute my client's claim DUSTY that he was dressed as the Rock Monster out on that floating barge when the murder took place. DUSTY Allegedly. Allegedly took place. GENE PARMESAN No, I did leave the donkey punch stand, uh, right before the play began. DUSTY Mm-hmm. GENE PARMESAN Yeah. DUSTY So, how can you be sure that Buster didn't change into the Rock suit as we've claimed? GENE PARMESAN 'Cause it was me. NARRATEUR After fighting with Lucille two, Buster did end up at the donkey punch stand. GENE PARMESAN It is punch, like the juice. BUSTER Oh, I need some juice. NARRATEUR But flew into a rage when he saw an old rival. BUSTER You! MAN IN BLACK SUIT NARRATEUR Leaving behind the costume he was to be wearing... to a man who never said no to costume or a part-time job. BUSTER GENE PARMESAN That's me. GENE PARMESAN Yep. LUCILLE Oh-oh. NARRATEUR But while Gene may have undermined Buster's alibi. LUCILLE Oh! Gene! NARRATEUR back. NARRATEUR back at the office, George Michael was worried about his dire situation. TOBIAS Tickle, tickle. GEORGE MICHAEL Uncle Tobias. Hi. TOBIAS Come on. NARRATEUR When an even more dire one came through the door. TOBIAS Sit, sit, sit. Come on. GEORGE MICHAEL Hey, what are you guys doing here? TOBIAS Well, our stay at the Spotted Palm came to a rather abrupt end when Bev here. TOBIAS decided to look at her cellular telephone without holding it at arm's-length and putting on her readers first. DEBRIE She kind of blew our cover. MURPHY I'm sorry, I keep on forgetting that acting is my passion. DEBRIE It really ruined Annette's funeral. May she rests in peace. GEORGE MICHAEL Maeby killed Annette? TOBIAS Where did we land with that? DEBRIE Uh, gore- She was gored. TOBIAS Yes. Gored in the running of the bulls. MURPHY People were getting suspicious so it had to be somewhere where there wouldn't be a body. MURPHY Or like where an animal took off with the body so fast that you- TOBIAS That you couldn't get it back. That was the idea. Yes. MURPHY Exactly! Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. DEBRIE Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. GEORGE MICHAEL Well, if you guys were thinking about staying here- TOBIAS Oh, thank you so much! I told you he would come through. Oh, we cannot move in soon enough for you. TOBIAS Some of our happiest days as a family were spent here. DEBRIE GEORGE MICHAEL Well, it's not an abandoned office anymore, so there- there are actually people doing work... out there, uh. TOBIAS Uh-huh. If it's work you require, I suppose we can act it off. GEORGE MICHAEL Yeah, that's gonna be a problem. TOBIAS Well, surely, there must be some, uh, in-house corporate training seminar we could do, or- or a sexual harassment video? TOBIAS I mean, I'm no Harvey Weinstein, but I'm sure I can produce one. DEBRIE And I knew him. Did I tell you that story when Mr. Weinstein killed my ficus in the 80s, when he came over to audition me for- TOBIAS TOBIAS Yes, we all know DeBrie Bardeaux snagged a private audition with Harvey Weinstein. DEBRIE Yeah, but I came on too strong so I didn't get the part. TOBIAS Yes, well, some of us weren't lucky enough to even have an audition to blow. GEORGE MICHAEL Actually, I don't really know if we need any acting right now. GEORGE MICHAEL The stuff we're doing here is more about preventing hacking, protecting privacy and stuff. MURPHY Oh, that's actually kinda what I was trying to stop, too. TOBIAS Yes, Murphy Brown here is a bit of a computer whiz. MURPHY Mm. TOBIAS He's worked on cable boxes. MURPHY Yeah, I actually coded like a- it's like an extra layer beneath the firewall to keep your data from being exposed. MURPHY It's like a dam, or like a- a stopper or a barrier to stop people from- GEORGE MICHAEL Like a block? TOBIAS O- Okay. Can we do this is English, professor? MURPHY Oh, sorry. Sorry, my- Sorry, my fine student. TOBIAS DEBRIE I think we need a diagram. TOBIAS It makes no sense at all, but what he's basically saying is, nobody wants to be naked underneath their underwear. TOBIAS So one adds an extra layer protection. TOBIAS It doesn't have to be denim, per say, but everybody wants hide their privates from something. DEBRIE Not everybody. GEORGE MICHAEL Can you show me? TOBIAS Oh, sure. Take a whiff. DEBRIE Oh, God, yeah. GEORGE MICHAEL No, no. I mean, your program. The- the code... that you wrote. NARRATEUR George Michael was as surprised as the courtroom was about to be. JUDGE SPENCER STANLEY All right, Ms. Dottie, your witness. NARRATEUR When the D.A. introduced a witness who would turn the whole case upside down with a sense of the dramatic thing. LOTTIE DOTTIE timing, and that was not easy. LOTTIE DOTTIE Okay. Now, Warden Gentles, LOTTIE DOTTIE you recently paid a visit to the Hollywood motion picture director Ron Howard with information about the Bluth family LOTTIE DOTTIE you thought was pertinent to a project he was working on about the Bluth family, isn't that correct? WARDEN GENTLES That is correct. LUCILLE Oh my God. LOTTIE DOTTIE And this had to do with an incident in Buster Bluth's past, correct? WARDEN GENTLES Yes, it is so. LOTTIE DOTTIE And how exactly did you acquire this information? WARDEN GENTLES Well, if I may be eloquent... straight from the horse's mouth. LOTTIE DOTTIE And who is the horse? WARDEN GENTLES Lucille Bluth. Of course. Of course. LOTTIE DOTTIE But all that information on that case had been sealed. WARDEN GENTLES Well, all seals can come loose with little bit of Gentles' pressure. NARRATEUR And Lucille herself had been so loosened. NARRATEUR Some months earlier, Lucille had enticed Warden Gentles to a private dinner NARRATEUR in order to get her son Buster released for a second of July parade. NARRATEUR And through the course of a well-served meal. NARRATEUR and even more frequently served bottles of wine, NARRATEUR Lucille rekindled a friendship in order to ask for a favor. NARRATEUR But as the afternoon turned into evening, intimate details issued forth from a now drunken Lucille's mouth. NARRATEUR information extremely useful to a warden with ambitions of a screenwriting career, NARRATEUR who had heard about an Imagine streaming series about this exact family. NARRATEUR So while Lucille got her son out for a parade, Warden Gentles got a lot more. NARRATEUR In fact, the only thing guarded that evening was Warden Gentles' private trailer. LOTTIE DOTTIE And you shared these stories with Ron Howard? NARRATEUR He did. WARDEN GENTLES I did. LOTTIE DOTTIE Exhibit three-A, Making of a Monster. LOTTIE DOTTIE I would like to play a clip of the season finale. NARRATEUR And so they played much of the Imagine Bluth project. NARRATEUR Now remember, this is really rough, we only had two days in Michael's cottage... NARRATEUR and it's all temp sounds and we haven't licensed most of this music. YOUNG LUCILLE What do you think you're doing? MIMI I told you, I'm taking this girl, who in my opinion, has been mistreated by you for far too long, on a cruise with her grandmother. YOUNG LUCILLE You're not taking her anywhere. YOUNG LINDSAY Oh, come on, mom. I am almost 14, and. YOUNG LINDSAY you have been mistreating me. YOUNG LUCILLE Oh you go to your room. YOUNG LUCILLE How dare you? YOUNG LUCILLE We both know that child is about to turn 18. MIMI Oh, gosh, that's right. It slipped my mind. YOUNG LUCILLE Oh, please. It's all you've been thinking about since you've put her up for adoption. MIMI It hasn't been on your mind? MIMI You swooped in and stole it from the Standwells when you found out about the endowment, 'cause you just had to have a cottage on the beach. YOUNG LUCILLE MIMI Well, you can say goodbye to that, honey, because that child is mine, and I have nothing else in my life right now. MIMI And I'm not gonna spend the rest of it singing on a cruise ship for snifter tips! YOUNG LUCILLE I knew this is what you were up to. YOUNG LUCILLE Suddenly there's no gentleman collar in the picture and you decided to look out for yourself. MIMI Oh, you're one to talk about looking out for yourself. MIMI I've never been invited to this place even once, and let's not forget who paid for it. YOUNG LUCILLE And this is how you wanna be paid back? You think you're gonna walk in here and take away my child? MIMI That's not your child, that's my child and we both know it. BUSTER No! BUSTER It's not true! I still have it! I'll still wear my gentleman's collar! BUSTER But you're not my mother! Mother is my mother, grandmother! MIMI NARRATEUR You know, it's funny, I was actually worried about them showing this in court, NARRATEUR but it turned out better than I'd remembered. NARRATEUR And I actually think it's a pretty good advertisement for the show, of course, we still haven't gotten Brian's notes. NARRATEUR And obviously, we're gonna put Jean Smart's face on the stuntman. NARRATEUR And Cobie did a great job, too. I- I should send her something. BUSTER Did you know about this? DUSTY No. My dad made us give up Netflix when they went up by two dollars. LOTTIE DOTTIE Is that an accurate depiction of what Lucille told you was a true story? WARDEN GENTLES I'm not just saying this to suck up to Ron Howard... WARDEN GENTLES but I think we nailed it. LOTTIE DOTTIE So Buster Bluth has killed before in the exact same manner he killed Lucille Austero! LOTTIE DOTTIE Prosecution rests. JUDGE SPENCER STANLEY We will reconvene tomorrow. LUCILLE Mistrial! Mistrial! BUSTER Yes! Yes! I missed your trial! BUSTER So you sold me out to Warden Gentles, and we both know, you said I wouldn't get in trouble. BUSTER You made a promise! LUCILLE No, Buster, it was a mistake! BUSTER You can live with her, Dusty. She can be your mother! DUSTY Now you made it almost impossible for me to win this case. DUSTY I mean, is that an option? Because you did almost kill my dad. NARRATEUR On the next Arrested Development. MURPHY You just wanna set up the protocol. NARRATEUR George Michael discovers Murphy Brown knew more about computers than he's been letting on. MURPHY This conceals your IP address. And if another server wants to get in contact with yours, MURPHY they'll just be getting this placeholder data instead of your real data. MURPHY So, like, do you wanna watch Gone Girl? DEBRIE Yeah. MURPHY Okay, 'cause I just ripped it. But guess what? They'll never know because they will be seeing this dummy info. MURPHY GEORGE MICHAEL Well, it works. MURPHY Mm-hmm. MURPHY Pretty much all the time. Pretty much works. MURPHY DEBRIE TOBIAS I know. DEBRIE It's like a D- D- MURPHY Take a look at it right there. DEBRIE GEORGE MICHAEL This is Fakeblock. GEORGE MICHAEL You made Fakeblock. MURPHY Hmm. MURPHY Hey, you wanna see Ben Affleck's peen? TOBIAS That might be- Wait, wait, wait, wait! TOBIAS Huh. What do we have here? MURPHY Yeah. TOBIAS Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
