Prison Break-In (2005)

Jason Bateman: Michael Bluth

Quotes 

• Michael : [after finding out that the prison warden plans to sleep with Lucille]  Who's the "I" in that sentence?

  Lucille : ME!

  Michael : You?

  Narrator : Her.

• Michael : Can't a guy call his mother pretty without making it seem strange?

  Buster : Yeah, and how about that little tail on her? Cute!

  Michael : I've opened a door here that I regret.

• Michael : We dont want to relive the TBA debacle.

  Narrator : Years earlier, the Bluth's held their first fundraiser, but the family had a hard time agreeing on a cause.

  George Sr. : [reading the slips]  "Neckflap". "Ovarian Cancer". Gee, I wonder who that was? "Shrinkage". Somebody saw Seinfeld last night! Another one for "Neckflap".

  Narrator : So they sent out invitations with the disease still to be announced. To their surprise, the Bluth's wound up raising over $25,000 dollars for TBA. Then, and here's the really horrible part, they did it again the following year.

  Gob : [footage of George Michael's Star Wars Kid]  Keep fighting, little guy! Soon, we'll rid the world of T.B.A.!

  Michael : When they found out, we almost had a riot on our hands.

• Michael Bluth : [Michael and GOB are trying to break into the prison]  If only we had a map.

  Gob : [rips off his shirt revealing a map]  Like this? I drew it upside down.

  Michael Bluth : This is going to be awkward.

  Narrator : It was awkward.

  Prison guard : [Michael is awkwardly positioned over GOB]  Hey guys, if you want to party, maybe you should take it inside?

  Gob : That was a freebie.

• Michael Bluth : I'll just stay here and read, then.

  Narrator : This too proved challenging as the Bluth family had no books.

  [Michael opens up a box with copies of "The Man Inside Me"] 

  Narrator : Except for those. And that's when Michael got a glimpse of the warden's true intentions with his mother.

  Michael Bluth : [after reading the screenplay]  I wish I had read "The Man Inside Me".
