I smell trouble

7.5

By SMGslayer97, Dec 27, 2006

I smell another Brian Mikey fight coming round the bend and, as usual, Brian is the problem. As Michael settles into domestic bliss with Ben (newly wed) and his children Brian seems to take serious action, trying to lure him back to deep dark depths of the luxurious night life and world of drugs. Unfortunately, when Michael tries to get him to walk in his new world Brian stomps all over anything. He has the ability to take the most simple of things, the most simple of requests, and just plain blow them up in smoke. What a prince, I'm not surprised at Michael's disdain. His life is changing, he is changing.moreless

- Debbie: By George, she's fuckin' got it!
  
  This is a colorful version of the line "By George, she's got it!" from the musical "My Fair Lady." In both the musical and this episode, the teacher is thoroughly impressed with the remarkable progress of the student.
