Jason Bateman: Michael Bluth

Quotes 

• [Michael catches George-Michael sneaking hard-boiled eggs to George Sr] 

  Michael Bluth : I think George-Michael is hiding Ann in the attic.

  Lindsay Bluth Fünke : From who, the Nazis?

  Michael Bluth : No, his girlfriend from me. I just caught him sneaking up to her in the attic and he clearly did so because he thinks I don't approve. I think I'm gonna invite her to the wake. Why make him hide? Why do to him what... Why do to him what Dad used to do to me?

  Lindsay Bluth Fünke : [sobbing]  He was so amazing.

  Michael Bluth : That was actually an example of how not so amazing he was. You're really going through something here, huh?

  Lindsay Bluth Fünke : I know. You know, it's funny-all those years when I pretended to cry... I used to use Dad's death to get me going. I tried it with Mom's, but I'd just end up smiling and ruining it. But it feels, like, real. You know? And you haven't really allowed yourself to grieve much at all, Michael.

  Michael Bluth : My relationship with Dad was much more-much more complicated than yours. It was predicated a lot on secrets and lies. There wasn't a lot of trust there.

  Tobias Fünke : Here he comes. Here comes John Wayne. I'm not gonna cry about my pa. I'm gonna build me an airport, put my name on it. Why, Michael? So you can fly away from your feelings? You can keep them bottled up, Michael, but they will come out. Sometimes in the most unexpected...

  [opens refrigerator and looks inside] 

  Tobias Fünke : Hey, where the fuck are my hard-boiled eggs?

• Michael Bluth : It's as Ann as the nose on Plain's face.

• Michael : His name is Gary and we don't need any more lawsuits.

  Gob : Wait... Gary's gay? He's going to think I was coming onto him.

  Gob : [flashback]  You've got a nice mouth.

  Gob : [flashback]  I'd kill for that ass.

  Gob : [flashback]  Now lately, the chair doesn't seem to give out but as soon as I lean back...

• Gob : This guy Tony Wonder bakes himself into a loaf of bread and pops out of a giant sandwich to feed the troops. I had that idea 10 months ago!

  Michael Bluth : You had that idea?

  Gob : Well, basically. I was gonna boil myself alive into a chowder and then be ladled into a giant cauldron to entertain and feed the firemen.

  Michael Bluth : That's pretty close.
