Lindsay: Okay, so you guys don't want to work? Fine. I've got a stair car full of Mexican laborers that would love a day's work. Lupe's Uncle: Laborers? I'm a professor of American studies at the University of Mexico City.
Gob: I hope you're up to this, Buster! This is a game of courage! A game for men! Buster: Yeah, well, it's a game I'm ready for! Uh-oh. My seat doesn't have a cushion.
Foreman: This is not how we settle things on a site. We got our own way of finding out who's a chicken. By a little game we like to call ... "Chicken."
Buster: Come on, you douche bags, we're all on the same team! Gob: Don't listen to him. He'll never stand up to the Man. He's a chicken. A chicken. Coka, coka, coka, coh! Buster: My whole life you've called me a chicken. But that's over now. I have nothing to prove.
Lucille: Well, now, who the hell is going to unload the car? (Into phone) Hola? Is Rosa still alive? No? Oh. Ok. This is not my day.
Maeby: You don't have to worry so much. I mean, obviously your dad doesn't want to spend time with you, but, you know, go to the beach or whatever. George Michael: He's just not around, ok? Annyong: He no have father? Old lady adopt him, too? Maeby: No, he have father. Father no love him.
White Power Bill: No more teaching from you. George Sr.: No teaching, no teaching. Narrator: It was at that moment that George Sr. reunited with his son-in-law.

Michael: Where are these people going? Lindsay: I'm taking them out to lunch. Michael: Did you reserve a restaurant? Are they taking their own cars? Lindsay: Oh, they'll figure something out. Michael: No, they won't. You don't have a plan? I told you these people are sheep, and they'll wander off and you'll lose the sheep. You've lost the sheep.
Ted: We, uh, finished the proposal and, uh, we're gonna order some pizza. Um, we were wondering if we could have two toppings, on account of it's Saturday. Lindsay: Well, he's not here, and since I'm in charge, I'm taking you all out to lunch.
Warden Gentiles: Let's see, now. 187 won't be free till Tuesday ... at midnight. And I can't put you into 212 because there's already another actor researching a role in there. Steve Buscemi.
Maeby: I thought your dad worked last weekend. George Michael: No, last week he had to finish planning the new subdivision. Maeby: Oh. So, did he finish it? George Michael: No. Hey, are you trying to make me feel bad? Maeby: Yeah, I guess. Sorry, I'm just bored. George Michael: That's ok. Maeby: I guess he just likes work more than he likes you.
Buster: I need a different job. I'm having real trouble in a confined, indoor space. Michael: How do you feel about working outdoors? Buster: Uh ... What else do you have?
Michael: Well, you have a job now, and since Kitty's gone, you can earn your check by answering the phone. Lindsay: Michael, it's Friday. Everybody coasts on Friday. Michael: It's actually Saturday. Lindsay: Finally. I'm out of here. I'll see you Tuesday.
Michael: Lindsay, how can you just come in here and ask me for a paycheck? Lindsay: Well, I usually ask Kitty, but she's not around, and you're the only one here that I've ever seen before.
Michael: You get a paycheck from the Bluth Company? Lucille: Well, it's important to the company that I keep up the image of my lifestyle. Michael: Illusion, Mom.
Lucille: They've got a bus, and they want to use parking lot to this building as a meeting place. I mean, for God's sake, it's not a hardware store. We can't have them hanging around like a bunch of freeloaders looking for an easy buck.
George Michael: You know, Dad, you don't have to drive so slow. I can ride my bike by myself. Michael: This actually doesn't go any faster.
White Power Bill: Who is this little (bleep)? Tobias: Well, it's been quite a while since anybody's called me a tyke, but no, I am Dr. Tobias Fünke, or with your help, Frightened Inmate #2. And who is this shiny building of a man? George Sr.: Oh, I'm very scared right now.
White Power Bill: (hits man with pipe) I have worse plans for you if you keep trying to convert my team! George Sr.: Ok, hold it, hold ... Hold it now ... Now, I'm doing no such thing; both of our religions have a lot to offer. There's the Jewish notion of heaven, and that it can be attained here on Earth. And there is your belief ... In the cleansing power of the pipe.
Lindsay: Dad hired me out of college. Michael: You quit college. Lindsay: Yeah, well, I had a job. What was the point?
Lindsay: Well, you and I have different management styles. I believe work should be fun, and you try to crush people's spirits. What's next, Michael? Are you going to make dancing illegal? Is this the tiny town from Footloose?
Buster: (to Gob) Chickens don't clap!
Annyong: I went to beach once. Next thing you know, I in crate next to pig.
Tobias: All right, let's discuss this bunking situation! White Power Bill: You're gonna be sleepin' under me for a while. George Sr: (to Tobias) I sold you for a pack of cigarettes.
Tobias: Lindsay, say something to scare me. Lindsay: F*** me. Tobias: Nope, nothing. Thanks for trying, though.
Michael: Thanks for coming out, buddy. I've been dying to get some time with you, I really have. George Michael: That's ok. I know how much you care about me. Unfortunately, so does the federal government.
Michael: He's not a chicken. He just doesn't like confined spaces, that's all. Gob: I thought it was open spaces. Buster: No, it's both.
Buster: I'm a scholar. I enjoy scholarly pursuits. Lucille: Suddenly, playing with yourself is a scholarly pursuit.
Michael: How'd you know I was here? Gob: I called the office. You know, that Kitty is starting to sound pretty damn sexy to me. Maybe I ought to ... Michael: That was Lindsay.
Michael Blieden ("Agent Cummings") wrote the screenplay and appeared in the Bob Odenkirk directed indie film Melvin Goes to Dinner, which starred Blieden and Matt Price, who also appears in the episode. Odenkirk, of course, was a previous guest star on the show and David Cross has a cameo in the film. Blieden also wrote for Mitchell Hurwitz-Created, Jeffrey Tambor-starring ABC comedy Everything's Relative."
Rating: 4.9/7
The "creative" new warden and what he says when Tobias meet him, is a joke on the fact that he's played by James Lipton, known for his job as the host of Inside the Actor's Studio. Each episode of the show features Lipton interviewing an actor (occasionally several).
The game of bulldozer chicken is a send-up of the 1984 movie Footloose, which Lindsay referenced earlier in the episode.
