Arrested Development

[pasag]

Starting the series again in anticipation of the movie.

Some quotes from the pilot:

Lucile on Homosexuals:

Everything they do is so dramatic and flamboyant, it just makes me want to set myself on fire.

-----

Michael: So this is the magic trick, huh?
Gob: Illusion, Michael. A trick is something whores do for money.

Camera zooms out to a crowd of shocked children

Gob:....or candy.

-----

In prison:

Michael: You know, I parked in the same spot for the last five years, I was there on time every single day, I was so loyal, I worked so hard, why couldn't you just put me in charge?

George: Michael, listen to me, these guys, the SEC, they've been after me for years, if I put you in charge you're going to be wearing one of these orange jump suits, you'd be an accomplice. No, it had to be your mom.

George leans in and whispers

George: They cannot arrest a husband and wife for the same crime
Michael: Yeah, I don't think that's true dad

Pause

George: I've got the worst ****ing attorneys

Love the show. Good times.

[Athlai]

Love the narrator:
Then, Tobias, mistaking a group of garishly-clad men for pirates, boarded a van filled with homosexuals.

and this
Lindsay Funke: You know, Michael, Dad did name Mom as his successor.
Lucille Bluth: And I'm putting Buster in charge.
Michael Bluth: Buster? You mean, the one who thought the blue on the map was land?

From Episode Two - The Banana Stand

Michael takes out a bag from the fridge with a note 'Dead Dove, Do Not Eat!" and opens it..
Michael:: Well, I don't know what I expected...

-------

Lucille spots her maid dragging her fur coat

Lucille: Luce! That coat cost more than your house!

Michael looks at his mother in disdain

Lucille: Oh, that's just how we joke, she doesn't even have a house.

--------

'No touching!'

Love Gob throwing the letter dramatically into the ocean. Then later the dove.

And then finally the rabbit

I loved this show, and I can't wait for the movie. I just hope Franklin makes an appearance.

I can already tell this will be best thread ever. Am in the process of getting people from work hooked on the show. Watched all three seasons about a month ago all over again. One of my favorite scenes ever is when Michael is talking to George in the prison and is talking about they did wrong with Buster. Camera zooms out slowly as George is talking about all the mistakes he made with him and we see Buster bored out of his mind yawning sitting in between the two. Has me stitches every time. The camera work puts the show over the top for me.

[NZTailender]

5 stars!

[Jono]

LOL! I just started watching all 3 seasons again last week too!

Sometimes the most simple bits are the funniest, like the way Gob says "Michael"

[andyc]

Best thread ever. Two possible favourite moments for mine, at least that I can of atm:
The way George Michael tries to 'catch' things by letting out a whimper and turning his back. And then how Tobias does it later on.
In Afternoon Delight, when GOB can't get anything but "sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh" out.

Haha yeah, the board room scene when they do that is my favourite scene on TV and what got me hooked on the show the first time I saw it in 05.

Also when Gob starts reversing his scooter slowly when Michael asks him if he mailed his insurance cheque

Episode 3 - Bringing Up Buster

Tobais:...and you tell me you have some PE teacher directing, that just makes me want to puke all over your head, sir. Give me a chance to tell the Bard’s tale, and I give you my word on humble knee, whence you shall not say it wasn’t e’er to be.
Principal: Jerry, you cool with this?
Jerry (PE teacher): Sure, let the little fruit do it.
Tobias: Huzzah!

---------

George: I never see you anymore, Michael.
Michael: You're in prison. And I was here yesterday.
George: Oh, yeah, that's... I'm sorry. I couldn't break away from the poker game. Capital-G was down to his boxers.
Michael: Strip poker?
George: Yeah, and it's tough. We can really only play about... two hands.


and lol and Gob shredding bread & Buster's bleeped out rant about Lucille.

Yeah they all have a go at Lucille and Michael just looks gobsmacked at Buster, well none of us are gonna top that.

It's like she gets off on being withholding.
