Quotes 

• Lindsay Bluth Fünke : Leather chair? So you're against stealing, but skinning cows is cool with you.

  Michael Bluth : I'm fine, by the way. Frankly, your concern is getting embarrassing. Since when are you against leather?

  Mae "Maeby" Fünke : Yeah, you're not even a vegetarian.

  Lindsay Bluth Fünke : I'm not against the insides. People need meat to survive.

  Michael Bluth : You are aware that they don't remove it from the cow surgically, right?

• Marta Estrella : Actually, we had a big fight. He thought I was belittling his career, but I never would do that.

  Michael Bluth : Neither would I. What career?

  Marta Estrella : The magic?

  Michael Bluth : Oh, the tricks! The little tricks. Those are great.

  Marta Estrella : Well, he didn't like my reaction to his new one.

  Gob : [In flashback: Gob pushes a metal spike through an apple in front of Marta and her sons]  Real needle, real apple... real neck!

  [Gob pushes the spike into his neck; blood appears to gush from it] 

  Marta's son : [screaming]  ¡Él es zombi!

  Marta Estrella : They're children! How could you do that?

  Gob : Oh sure, first you dump all over it, now you want to know how it's done.

• Michael : [at Gob's magic show at the Gothic Castle]  Where's Tobias?

  Narrator : [voiceover]  Tobias had intended to come to the magic show, but had a slight miscommunication with his cab driver.

  Tobias Fünke : [Tobias is wearing a leather outfit he bought to impress Maebe]  I would like to go to the Gothic Castle.

  Cab Driver : [slurring words]  Gothic asshole?

  Tobias Fünke : That's what I said.

  [at the wrong Gothic Castle, Tobias sees two people walking out] 

  Tobias Fünke : Boy, I am glad I didn't go with that outfit.

  [to the bouncer] 

  Tobias Fünke : Yes, I am looking for the magic.

• Lucille : [about Buster dating Lucille Austero]  I mean, she's been a family friend for years. It's just... creepy!

  Michael Bluth : Hey, buddy.

  Byron "Buster" Bluth : Hey.

  Michael Bluth : Mom, I think you might be overreacting.

  Lucille : She changed him as a baby.

  Michael Bluth : OK, that's, that's about the creepiest thing I've ever heard.

  Byron "Buster" Bluth : _That's_ why she didn't look surprised.

• Michael Bluth : Mom, I'm looking for G.O.B. There are some people after him, and I don't know if it's gambling or what, but, um... they want to break his legs.

  Lucille : It's a good thing he's already got that little scooter.

  [laughs] 

  Lucille : Oh, don't give me that look. I happen to be a more caring mother than most.

  Byron "Buster" Bluth : [entering]  Where's my bed?

  Lucille : I put it in storage. I guess you'll just have to decide which Lucille you want to spend your nights with.
