Come on. 101 00:05:27,479 --> 00:05:29,447 Save us some money. 102 00:05:29,548 --> 00:05:32,381 This was a management tool that he used to keep Michael... 103 00:05:32,484 --> 00:05:36,045 - working for his approval. - That was a hard one to say no to. 104 00:05:36,154 --> 00:05:38,782 The only thing I ask is out of the 450 homes we build... 105 00:05:38,890 --> 00:05:41,381 one be given to a disadvantaged family from the inner city. 106 00:05:41,493 --> 00:05:45,429 That's great.

Hey, we got no hair. 129 00:06:51,296 --> 00:06:55,960 While Stan Sitwell used the game to raise funds for underprivileged children. 130 00:06:56,067 --> 00:07:00,128 - Oh, I think one of your orphans is heading towards the street. - Strike three. 131 00:07:00,238 --> 00:07:03,036 You go down there, and you tell him to go screw himself... 132 00:07:03,141 --> 00:07:04,540 and apologize to your brother. 133 00:07:04,643 --> 00:07:07,077 We need him on our side, and we need him happy. 134 00:07:07,212 --> 00:07:09,510 - Where's Sitwell? - Sorry.

Very good way to think about her... as a backup. 179 00:09:32,257 --> 00:09:34,054 - She's gonna be so excited. - Good. 180 00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:37,959 - Maybe-Maybe now I'll get a kiss. - Okay. 181 00:09:38,063 --> 00:09:42,227 Oh. I meant from Ann. 182 00:09:43,535 --> 00:09:46,470 Yes, I know. I just want to get in there first. 183 00:09:46,571 --> 00:09:49,369 Okay. 184 00:09:51,610 --> 00:09:54,408 Lindsay, wake up. I need you to play on the softball team this year. 185 00:09:54,512 --> 00:09:57,640 Lindsay felt the intended effect of Teamocil- 186 00:09:57,749 --> 00:10:01,378 - a sense of camaraderie. - Count me in, Michael. Happy to help the team. 187 00:10:04,856 --> 00:10:07,484 - Great news. I'm back. - You just left. 188 00:10:07,592 --> 00:10:09,719 Yeah, I don't think things are gonna work out with Sitwell. 189 00:10:09,828 --> 00:10:12,797 I mean, we picked up his sleepy-head wig, everything was cool. 190 00:10:12,897 --> 00:10:15,422 Next thing I know, he's asking me for a bunch of work ideas. 191 00:10:15,533 --> 00:10:19,594 So, I thought I'd just quit and go back to being president here. 192 00:10:19,704 --> 00:10:23,265 I need to do this job, okay? I need to prove that I can do this job. 193 00:10:23,375 --> 00:10:28,005 - To who? - To... you. 194 00:10:28,113 --> 00:10:32,174 Michael, I'm your big brother. I'll never be impressed with you. 195 00:10:32,283 --> 00:10:34,251 - Still. - Anyway, look. You can still do it. 196 00:10:34,352 --> 00:10:38,914 I just want the office and my stuffs and title. 197 00:10:39,024 --> 00:10:44,189 What about... if I help you with your work over at Sitwell? 198 00:10:44,295 --> 00:10:46,855 - You'd do that? - Sure. 199 00:10:46,965 --> 00:10:49,399 You really want me to succeed at Sitwell. 200 00:10:49,501 --> 00:10:55,133 Well, I just- Hey. Come on. I really want you to be over at Sitwell. 201 00:10:58,239 --> 00:11:03,472 Lucille was worried that her son Buster was being sent into battle with the army. 202 00:11:03,578 --> 00:11:06,706 I feel that we've not brought something up that might be a solution... 203 00:11:06,814 --> 00:11:09,374 um, to spare my feelings. 204 00:11:09,484 --> 00:11:12,942 Send you in his place? I called. They don't want you back. 205 00:11:13,054 --> 00:11:17,684 Oscar had served in Vietnam as a croc spotter on a Swift boat. 206 00:11:17,792 --> 00:11:20,022 Croc! No, Sorry. Wait. Log. 207 00:11:20,128 --> 00:11:22,096 Just a log. No, wait. Sorry. Croc! 208 00:11:22,197 --> 00:11:26,497 It was there that he met a young U.S.O. Dancer named Lucille. 209 00:11:26,601 --> 00:11:28,466 I prefer an older man. 210 00:11:28,570 --> 00:11:33,166 - Hey, I'm free after the show. - I said older, Bob, not dead. 211 00:11:35,009 --> 00:11:38,137 I swore I'd never say his name again, but... 212 00:11:38,246 --> 00:11:40,908 it's time to call you-know-who. 213 00:11:41,015 --> 00:11:45,145 "You-know-who"was an army sergeant named Bill Anderson. 214 00:11:45,253 --> 00:11:49,986 He and Lucille were an item before she left him for Oscar. 215 00:11:50,091 --> 00:11:54,892 At the studio, Tobias began to create buzz around the watercooler. 216 00:11:54,996 --> 00:11:56,987 That Fünke is some kind of something. 217 00:11:57,098 --> 00:11:59,362 Boy, this Fünke is all anybody's ever talking about. 218 00:11:59,467 --> 00:12:02,800 So sick and tired of hearing about how brilliant that Fünke is. 219 00:12:02,904 --> 00:12:06,965 Overrated. I'll just move- I'm sorry. 220 00:12:07,075 --> 00:12:09,600 Okay. We're okay. Okay. 221 00:12:09,711 --> 00:12:13,340 Meanwhile, Maeby looked for an empty office to call George Michael. 222 00:12:13,448 --> 00:12:17,544 Where are you? I bought you a day. I can't put this book report off forever. 223 00:12:17,652 --> 00:12:19,847 Sorry, is this your office? 224 00:12:19,954 --> 00:12:23,481 No. I'm just sitting behind someone else's desk pretending these are my kids. 225 00:12:23,591 --> 00:12:26,617 Can you getJude Law in here for a meeting? 226 00:12:26,728 --> 00:12:28,787 - Oh, I'm just a reader. - A reader? 227 00:12:28,896 --> 00:12:32,525 - Yeah. - I need a report by tomorrow. 228 00:12:32,634 --> 00:12:37,264 Before gym-lunch... with Jim... Carrey. 229 00:12:37,372 --> 00:12:39,636 It's the Grinch guy. You're too young. 230 00:12:43,578 --> 00:12:47,378 So get this. Sitwell loved my ideas. 231 00:12:47,482 --> 00:12:50,451 Well, my ideas and I knew it. That's great. 232 00:12:50,551 --> 00:12:53,349 - You know, Dad never complimented any of those. - Here's the thing. 233 00:12:53,454 --> 00:12:57,322 - I need more. - There were 34 proposals in there. 234 00:12:57,425 --> 00:13:00,155 You'd be amazed how fast they come out when you read them all in a row. 235 00:13:00,261 --> 00:13:04,391 "Thirty-one, bamboo floor upgrades. Cheaper, stronger." I can't read this word. 236 00:13:04,499 --> 00:13:07,434 "Thirty-two, wireless 'crapability."' That one explains itself. 237 00:13:07,535 --> 00:13:09,833 - "Thirty-three"- - Gob, that was six-months' worth of work. 238 00:13:09,937 --> 00:13:11,905 - You can't just blurt them all out at once. - Mr. Bluth. 239 00:13:12,006 --> 00:13:15,237 - He's coming. I've got to go. - You blew them away. 240 00:13:15,343 --> 00:13:19,143 Bought you something. Maybe we can play catch sometime. 241 00:13:19,247 --> 00:13:22,546 Gob's own father had only once played catch with him. 242 00:13:22,650 --> 00:13:26,746 And it ended as badly as any game of catch could end. 243 00:13:26,854 --> 00:13:29,982 - White power! - Better yet, maybe we can play ball on Saturday. 244 00:13:30,091 --> 00:13:33,060 I'll meet you there. I've got a neck hair fitting at 11:00. 245 00:13:33,161 --> 00:13:38,121 Gob was both angry... and overwhelmed... 246 00:13:38,232 --> 00:13:41,360 by the approval from this new father figure. 247 00:13:41,469 --> 00:13:44,529 It was confusing. 248 00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:47,540 Michael was less torn and went to brag to his father. 249 00:13:47,642 --> 00:13:52,375 So, apparently my ideas aren't so bad, and that comes from Sitwell himself. 250 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,211 - You let your ideas go to Sitwell? - Uh, no. I gave them to Gob... 251 00:13:56,317 --> 00:14:00,048 who, uh, works there now. 252 00:14:00,154 --> 00:14:02,122 You let Gob go to Sitwell? 253 00:14:02,223 --> 00:14:04,521 - What'd I tell you? I told you- - "Don't let him go." I know. 254 00:14:04,625 --> 00:14:07,560 - But my point is that I do all the work, Pop. - He makes all the plays. 255 00:14:07,662 --> 00:14:09,994 Don't you understand? He was the best softball player in the league. 256 00:14:10,098 --> 00:14:15,229 Gob was especially gifted at sacrificing his body for the play. 257 00:14:15,336 --> 00:14:18,464 - Play's at second. Play's at second. - Yeah! Suck on that, Sitwell. 258 00:14:18,573 --> 00:14:21,064 Although at times, even that wasn't enough. 259 00:14:21,175 --> 00:14:24,008 Your Tweety Bird dance just cost us a run, you moron. 260 00:14:24,112 --> 00:14:26,342 Why do you think Sitwell hired him? 261 00:14:26,447 --> 00:14:29,814 You can't do this. You're gonna lose the game, the company, and you can't do this. 262 00:14:29,917 --> 00:14:32,909 What are you saying? If I win the game, you're comfortable with me running the company? 263 00:14:33,020 --> 00:14:35,147 - That's what I'm saying. - I'll win the game. 264 00:14:35,289 --> 00:14:38,520 And I'll show him that his little plan didn't work, all right? 265 00:14:38,626 --> 00:14:42,255 - We can build houses. We can win games. - That is what I wanna hear. 266 00:14:42,363 --> 00:14:46,424 We can win games. 267 00:14:48,035 --> 00:14:51,937 Lindsay, did that oven vent hit you? Your foot is bleeding. 268 00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:55,634 My foot is bleeding. - Teamocil may cause numbness of the extremities. 269 00:14:55,743 --> 00:14:57,711 You're gonna be able to play on our team, right? 270 00:14:57,812 --> 00:15:01,111 - Why do you think I'm taking Teamocil? - To curb your sex drive. 271 00:15:01,215 --> 00:15:03,115 That's right. What team are you talking about? 272 00:15:03,217 --> 00:15:06,812 It may also cause short-term memory loss. 273 00:15:06,921 --> 00:15:09,617 Okay. Looks like I'm gonna need that female backup player after all. 274 00:15:09,724 --> 00:15:12,659 - And Ann's really good at softball, huh? - Yeah. She's amazing. 275 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,354 You know, she's got this low center of gravity. You can't knock her over. 276 00:15:15,463 --> 00:15:18,193 - Well, I could knock her over. - Dad, I'm telling you, you can't. 277 00:15:18,299 --> 00:15:20,529 They call her "The Wall," you know? 278 00:15:20,635 --> 00:15:24,799 Well, that's great. But I could knock her over. I won't, but I could. 279 00:15:24,906 --> 00:15:27,534 - And Lucille called on an old lover. - William? 280 00:15:27,642 --> 00:15:30,076 - Yes, ma'am? - You don't remember me? 281 00:15:30,178 --> 00:15:34,308 General Anderson had done three tours of duty in Vietnam... 282 00:15:34,415 --> 00:15:39,375 - but the only memory he'd blocked was being left by Lucille. - Oh, God. That touch. 283 00:15:39,487 --> 00:15:43,355 - Oh, how could I forget? Pat? - Lucille. 284 00:15:43,458 --> 00:15:46,325 I could never forget that touch. 285 00:15:46,427 --> 00:15:50,158 Bill, they're shipping my son Buster off. I can't have that happen. 286 00:15:50,264 --> 00:15:54,564 - I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do. - Is there anything I can do? 287 00:15:55,870 --> 00:16:00,933 Maybe if you... go downtown. 288 00:16:01,042 --> 00:16:04,910 Oh, I haven't done that in 30 years. 289 00:16:15,389 --> 00:16:18,119 You make me want to puke, Bluth! 290 00:16:18,226 --> 00:16:21,024 And so, Buster was pulled out of combat training- 291 00:16:21,128 --> 00:16:25,690 - Put 'em down and halt! - and put into U.S.O. Training. 292 00:16:29,070 --> 00:16:33,029 - It jolts, but it's not really doing it right now. - And back at Gob's new office. 293 00:16:33,140 --> 00:16:34,937 - Michael. - Do you still need those ideas? 294 00:16:35,042 --> 00:16:37,875 Come on. Are you kidding me? I can't let Sitwell down. 295 00:16:37,979 --> 00:16:41,540 - L-I'm desperate here. - Then I'll make you a deal. 296 00:16:41,649 --> 00:16:45,642 - I want you to throw the softball game. - Never! 297 00:16:45,753 --> 00:16:48,415 - He gave me this. - Course he did. Why do you think he hired you? 298 00:16:48,523 --> 00:16:51,390 He liked my ideas. 299 00:16:51,492 --> 00:16:53,392 They were my ideas, and, no, he didn't. 300 00:16:53,494 --> 00:16:57,225 He wants you for the softball game because he's trying to make our family look foolish. 301 00:16:57,331 --> 00:17:02,166 I knew you had bad ideas. All right, we'll play him. 302 00:17:02,270 --> 00:17:04,898 I'll throw that softball game. 303 00:17:05,006 --> 00:17:08,237 Nobody makes a fool of our family without my help. 304 00:17:13,613 --> 00:17:17,845 Tobias had talked up the name Fünke, and it was time to audition. 305 00:17:17,951 --> 00:17:20,681 - What's your name? - Tobias. 306 00:17:20,787 --> 00:17:22,812 He's too short. Give it to the guard. 307 00:17:22,923 --> 00:17:28,259 Oh. L- I'm not. L- On camera, I seem much taller. 308 00:17:28,361 --> 00:17:31,660 And Maeby picked up the reader's report, which had now become her book report. 309 00:17:31,765 --> 00:17:34,461 - Whatcha got there? - I can't really discuss it. 310 00:17:34,568 --> 00:17:36,968 If you wanna get it made, I'm the guy who has to see it. 311 00:17:37,070 --> 00:17:40,699 You're the Fünke everyone's talking about? What are you, like, 15? 312 00:17:40,807 --> 00:17:44,675 - Marry me. - Everyone thinks I look young too. 313 00:17:44,778 --> 00:17:47,770 - So who are you thinking about? - Jude Law. Why do you ask? 314 00:17:47,881 --> 00:17:50,349 Yeah. Go young. Young Guy and the Sea. Big spring-breaker. 315 00:17:50,450 --> 00:17:53,442 Four C.G.I. The fish. Let's fast-track this one. 316 00:17:53,553 --> 00:17:56,954 And that's when Maeby realized she had become a successful film executive. 317 00:17:57,057 --> 00:17:59,218 - It's all waxed up. - All waxed up? What do you mean? 318 00:17:59,326 --> 00:18:02,318 - I need something. Ajob for my dad. - Yeah, yeah. Sure. Okay. 319 00:18:02,429 --> 00:18:05,796 Listen to me. Brand new cars don't get waxed! 320 00:18:05,899 --> 00:18:08,367 That afternoon it was game time... 321 00:18:08,468 --> 00:18:10,959 and Michael felt confident about a Bluth win. 322 00:18:13,473 --> 00:18:15,703 Spin, spin, spin. 323 00:18:15,809 --> 00:18:20,542 Ann wasn't as amazing as George Michael led his father to believe. 324 00:18:21,615 --> 00:18:23,810 But Gob was playing worse than ever... 325 00:18:23,917 --> 00:18:26,818 as per his agreement with Michael. 326 00:18:34,260 --> 00:18:37,593 Your guy can't hit, Sitwell. He's never gonna touch it. 327 00:18:37,697 --> 00:18:39,756 - Time out. - Time out. 328 00:18:39,866 --> 00:18:41,993 Gob, are you okay? 329 00:18:42,102 --> 00:18:44,900 Yeah, just can't hit today. Guess you're really disappointed in me. 330 00:18:45,005 --> 00:18:48,168 Hey. Everybody has days like this. It's only a game. 331 00:18:48,274 --> 00:18:51,334 After that list of ideas you gave me, I don't care if you blow the whole season. 332 00:18:51,444 --> 00:18:54,174 Come here, you. 333 00:18:55,582 --> 00:18:57,345 Okay. We're good. 334 00:18:57,450 --> 00:19:01,409 And Gob finally felt that someone believed in him. 335 00:19:01,521 --> 00:19:05,184 Even though they weren't his ideas. 336 00:19:05,291 --> 00:19:07,919 And he decided to make Sitwell proud. 337 00:19:11,064 --> 00:19:13,191 Get on that ball! 338 00:19:15,535 --> 00:19:18,026 You go! 339 00:19:18,138 --> 00:19:20,038 You better pull an ankle or something. 340 00:19:20,140 --> 00:19:22,040 Come on, George Michael! Get that ball in there! 341 00:19:22,142 --> 00:19:24,201 Then he went headfirst into The Wall. 342 00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:26,278 - I'm safe. - You're out! 343 00:19:26,379 --> 00:19:29,712 Out? I was safe! I'm safe! 344 00:19:29,816 --> 00:19:32,876 - Stop with the Tweety Bird dance, you moron. - Dad? 345 00:19:32,986 --> 00:19:35,318 He made the call. You're out. What are you doing? 346 00:19:35,422 --> 00:19:37,219 - Shush, shush, shush. - Dad? 347 00:19:37,323 --> 00:19:39,723 - He's safe. - What the hell are you doing here? 348 00:19:39,826 --> 00:19:42,920 I'm taking care of what you screwed up.
