Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Michael: Where's Sitwell? Gob: Sorry. I told him to screw off. But get this, he offered me a job. Michael: What? (flashback) Gob: Well, I'm not waiting on my brother. I pass. You look surprised. Sitwell: I'm sorry. I must've put it on too high. (fixes eyebrow) But you were right. It was a bad offer and you were smart enough not to take it. You got gumption. You speak your mind. That means you're good enough to work for me.
-
(Sitwell is at the model home, talking with Michael about making one of the houses they build be affordable for a low-income underprivileged family; Gob is disgusted by this idea and is yelling at him:) Gob: One of this guy's eyebrows fell in the candy beans. Sitwell: I always carry a spare. Gob: Well, I hope you also carry a spare bowl of candy beans.
-
(Michael has invited Stan Sitwell to the model home) Lucille: That hairless freak is coming here? None of his hair is real, you know. Gob: You mean the guy we're meeting with can't even grow his own hair? Come on! Michael: It's called alopecia, and I'd appreciate it if we could all be sensitive to it, okay?
-
Michael: Let's make Ann the back up. Ok? Very good way to think of her as a back up. George Michael: She's gonna be so excited. Michael: Good. George Michael: Maybe ... Maybe now I'll get a kiss. Michael: Ok. (kisses George Michael) George Michael: Oh ... I meant from Ann. Michael: Yes, I know. I just want to get in there first.
-
George Michael: Wow, you're president again? Michael: Yes, this is the way it should be. What do you think of when you hear the words "Sudden Valley?" George Michael: Salad dressing, I think. For some reason, I don't want to eat it. Michael: Right, but "Paradise Gardens?" George Michael: Yeah, I could see marinating a chicken.
-
Tobias: No, I can't... I have an audition tomorrow. I'm up for a minor, but meaty role in a feature film: Confidence Man 2. Gob: Oh yeah? I didn't see the first Confidence Man. Tobias: No... 'Confidence Man 2' is my character.
-
Gob: One of this guy's eyebrows just fell in the bowl of candy beans. Sitwell: I always carry a spare. Gob: Well I hope you also carry a spare bowl of candy beans!
-
Sitwell: The only thing I ask is out of the four hundred and fifty homes we build, one be given to a disadvantaged family from the inner city. Gob: That's great, so the other 449 families live in fear? Is that what we're saying? Come on!
-
Michael: (about Sitwell) He happens to be a very modest and generous man. Lucille: Modest and generous? Then why is he always waving giant ten million dollar checks over his head every time some... Michael: Go ahead, Mom, finish your thought. Every time some children's hospital needs funding? Lucille: Nonetheless.
-
Lucille: I've done everything I can. I even tried to convince them he's [Buster] gay, but no one would believe that a woman like me would have a gay son. Michael: Well you certainly tried. You guys wore matching outfits until he was twelve.
-
Gob: Michael, I'm your big brother. I'll never be impressed with you.
-
Lucille: Give me a vodka rocks. Michael: Mom, it's breakfast. Lucille: And a piece of toast.

Buster marches with the drill sergeant in his face like the opening credits of "Gomer Pyle, USMC". He has a goofy look on his face, but does not stick his tongue in and out like Gomer. The sequence is brief, due to Buster being moved from combat training to USO duty.
