    • (Michael is talking to Nellie) Narrator: Hey, let's see what some of the other folks are up to. (Shot of George Michael doing homework) Narrator: Nothing there. (Shot of George, Sr. clipping his toenails) Narrator: Or there. (Shot of Buster's nurse getting into bed with him) Narrator: Oh, my ... Let's get back to Michael.
    • Lucille: Michael. What a surprise. Michael: Really? Were you expecting somebody else? Maybe, uh, one of your two daughters? Lucille: Oh, Lindsay and Tobias never visit.
    • (Lucille's necklace has just stuck to the magnet) Lucille: That's not a real gold necklace, is it? George, Sr.: Well, it wasn't really your 50th birthday.
    • Tobias: I find myself attracted to someone who is not my wife. Michael: What's her name? Tobias: Michael. ... Can you believe it?
    • Michael: Lindsay, I can tell that it's real. It's like that feeling that you read about twins having. Lindsay: We're twins. You didn't give me access to the banking. Michael: No, you'd just ... you'd go out, and you'd just whore it up Lindsay, you know? Now, she's different. She's a little bit more like me. It's like we finish each other's -- Lindsay: Sandwiches. Michael: ... Sentences. Why would I say -- Lindsay: Sandwiches. Michael: (nods) That time, I was going to say sandwiches.
    • Maeby: I'm worried you're taking this too seriously. George Michael: (huffs) Are you ... just the opposite. ("Here Comes the Bride" plays from Maeby's cell phone, George Michael chuckles and looks away) Maeby: (turns off phone) What the hell is that? George Michael: I bought you a wedding ring ... tone. (chuckles) Opposite of serious.
    • Michael: What the hell is going on? Nellie is not a, uh, uh, a prostitute. Gob: Of course, she is. Oh, but I can see where the misunderstanding is. You didn't know. (yelling to Nellie in the background) Maybe we can give him a family discount! Michael: Family discount is right, Gob. This is the sister I've been talking about. Gob: Maybe I should have been getting a family rate ... (breaking down) Oh, my God.
    • Gob: The real problem is she keeps saying God is going to show me a sign, the ... something of my ways ... wisdom?
    • Michael: Even if we're not related, I think I would like for you to work here. You're very, very good at it. What you do for a job is not really a great way to make a living, you know? Nellie: I make 300 grand a year. Michael: Marry me. It's weird on so many levels.
    • Michael: You know, Gob, this might be that sign from God that you should change your ways. Gob: No, I think that's going to be something big.
    • Gob: A lady of the evening. Working girl. She turns illusions for money ... tricks.
    • Tobias: Oh, God, here she is. Michael: Next to that guy? Tobias: What guy? Michael: That guy. Tobias: No, that's her. Michael: Him? Tobias: That's a girl. I think the name "Michael" is making you look for a man. Michael: I think I'm looking at a man.
    • Tobias: Michael, look, this has got to stop. I mean, flattered? Yes. Interested? Not tonight.
    • Michael: (into the phone) Really? And all the guys like her, huh? That is - that is - that is great. Uh, you mean "away," though, right? Because, otherwise, it sounds a little different, but, uh, that's, uh, that's outstanding. You forgot to say "away" again. But listen, let me call you back in a bit, ok? Bye. (to Lindsay) Nellie has blown them all away.
    • Narrator: But she did have a list of won'ts. Nellie: We're gonna have some ground rules first, ok? No (bleep bleep bleep) or (bleep). And no (bleep) unless you're wearing a (bleep) or you (bleep bleep). If this winds up on the Web, I will (bleep) you in the (bleep). Ted: Our computers don't even work on the internet.
    • Nellie: Well, I was buried in loan debt from business school, so I started whoring myself out.
    • Michael: I-I'm not interested in you that way. Tobias: What way? Michael: Pick one.
    • Michael: Gob, listen. Can I ask you a question? Do you remember growing up with a sister? Gob: Sister? Uh ... No, I don't. Not really ... ringing any bells. Michael: Other than Lindsay, of course. Gob: Oh! Lindsay! Michael: Well, you might not be the most reputable source on this.
    • Lindsay: Oh, you know what? I've already prepared a list of "won'ts." Tobias: Oh, you're not going to believe this. My list is of "can'ts." Michael: Marital love can be so romantic.
    • Lindsay: Well, you know, maybe I would be more attracted to you if you were in better shape. You know, if you were just more muscular and masculine. Does that make me shallow? Tobias: No. I was going to say the same thing to you.
    • Tobias: Yes. Lindsay and I are planning a night of heterosexual intercourse. Michael: You can just say intercourse.
    • Lindsay: Well, why don't you just go to Dad and ask him who Nellie is, point-blank? Michael: So, he can just cover it up and lie? I can't stand to hear one more lie out of this family. Tobias: Oh, there's the woman I'm sexually attracted to. Michael: Ok, but that's the last one.
    • Michael: That might be an older sister that we've never met. Lindsay: Wow! Look at the beak on that bird.
