Mr. F

00:00:01

[narrator NOW THE STORY

00:00:02

OF A WEALTHY FAMILY WHO LOST EVERYTHING...

00:00:04

AND THE ONE SON WHO HAD NO CHOICE...

00:00:05

BUT TO KEEP THEM ALL TOGETHER.

00:00:13

IT'S ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT.

00:00:18

[narrator] MICHAEL HAD SNUCK OUT OF WORK

00:00:20

TO SEE A BRITISH FILM...

00:00:21

WITH HIS BRITISH GIRLFRIEND, RITA.

00:00:24

- I HATE IT WHEN THEY HIRE YANKS TO PLAY BRITS.

00:00:26

YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL.

00:00:27

[narrator] WHEN THEY CAME UPON A TOY STORE.

00:00:30

- WE SHOULD GET GEORGE MICHAEL ONE OF THESE.

00:00:33

- OH, NO, THAT-THAT-THAT'S NOT REALLY HIM.

00:00:35

BESIDES, I ALREADY GOT HIM HIS BIG PRESENT FOR HIS BIRTHDAY.

00:00:38

- A SUIT! DAD, IT'S A JACK WELCH.

00:00:40

- I WANT YOU TO LOOK UNDER THE PANTS.

00:00:43

- QUICKEN! PREMIER.

00:00:44

DAD, I HOPE YOU KEPT THE RECEIPT.

00:00:46

- YOU WANNA RETURN THAT? - NO, I WANNA DEDUCT IT.

00:00:50

- COME ON, LET'S GET HIM THE TRAIN.

00:00:53

- IT'S-- REALLY, HE WOULD ONLY LIKE IT FOR THE RECEIPT.

00:00:55

AND THIS IS CRAZY. I-I-I, REALLY--

00:00:57

I CAN'T BE SEEING MOVIES IN THE AFTERNOON,

00:00:59

THEN GOING TO TOY STORES.

00:01:00

I-I HAVE TO WORK.

00:01:01

I'M NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.

00:01:02

[narrator] MICHAEL COULDN'T

00:01:04

TEAR HIMSELF AWAY.

00:01:05

COULD YOU?

00:01:07

- I CAN'T PROMISE IT'LL BE FUN.

00:01:09

[Rita squealing] [Michael grunting]

00:01:13

OKAY, THAT'S, UH, THAT WA-- THAT WAS FUN.

00:01:15

STILL, THE LAND PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN OUT

00:01:17

BENEATH US.

00:01:20

BUT WE GOT A MOLE PROBLEM.

00:01:21

- A MOLE PROBLEM?

00:01:23

- YEAH, THEY'VE UNDERMINED THIS WHOLE HILL.

00:01:25

WE WON'T BE ABLE TO BUILD ON IT FOR A FEW MONTHS.

00:01:27

BUT IT'S MY FAULT.

00:01:28

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMING TO WORK.

00:01:31

THE JAPANESE BACKERS,

00:01:32

IF THEY FIND OUT ABOUT THIS--

00:01:33

THAT WE HAVEN'T STARTED BUILDING,

00:01:35

THEY MIGHT NOT COME THROUGH WITH THEIR INVESTMENTS.

00:01:37

- I WON'T TATTLE.

00:01:38

I REALLY FANCY YOU.

00:01:40

- I FANCY YOU TOO.

00:01:42

[narrator] MICHAEL WAS FALLING FOR RITA.

00:01:46

- [laughing] WHEE!

00:01:47

[narrator] AND RITA WAS FALLING FOR

00:01:49

MICHAEL TOO.

00:01:50

BUT THAT WASN'T PART OF THE PLAN.

00:01:53

- RITA, YOU'VE DIRT ON YOUR FACE.

00:01:55

- IT'S FROM SCHOOL.

00:01:57

- I CALLED THE SCHOOL, AND YOU WEREN'T THERE.

00:02:00

YOU KNOW, WE'RE HERE TO LEARN THINGS, NOT FALL IN LOVE.

00:02:02

- SO WHAT IF I HAVE? I'VE GOT FEELINGS, ALL RIGHT?

00:02:06

I'M A WOMAN TOO!

00:02:08

NOT SOME ROBOT YOU GET TO TELL EVERYTHING TO.

00:02:10

I'M SICK OF IT! I'M SICK OF IT ALL!

00:02:14

YOUR INSTRUCTIONS AND YOUR LETTERS!

00:02:17

AND YOUR LITTLE MISSIONS. AND YOUR STUPID ASSIGNMENTS.

00:02:20

"YOU DO THE MATH, RITA." WELL, NO, YOU DO THE MATH.

00:02:24

[softly] OH, GOD.

00:02:25

- DO YOU REMEMBER THIS?

00:02:27

AND THE PLEDGE THAT YOU MADE WHEN YOU WERE PROMISED IT?

00:02:29

- I SAID I'D DO ANYTHING FOR IT. - I WANT HIM OUT OF THE PICTURE.

00:02:32

CAN YOU DO THAT? - I'M A BIG GIRL.

00:02:36

[screams, laughs]

00:02:41

[narrator] AND MICHAEL RETURNED

00:02:43

HOME AS WELL.

00:02:44

- HEY, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

00:02:45

- [chuckles] OH, I GOT HIGHLIGHTS.

00:02:47

IT'LL BLEND IN ABOUT A WEEK.

00:02:48

- HERE. YEAH, I ACTUALLY MEANT THE COLLAPSE.

00:02:51

- IT PROBABLY HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE 4,000 HAIR PLUGS

00:02:54

I HAD IN ONE SITTING.

00:02:56

- WELL, MAYBE YOU OUGHTA SEE A DOCTOR.

00:02:58

- YEAH, BUT HE'S TOO BUSY GOING TO THE GYM TO SEE

00:03:00

HIS FRIEND FRANK.

00:03:01

- OH, WE'RE MORE THAN FRIENDS. I'M KIND OF HIS SPOTTER.

00:03:04

MISSED A SPOT.

00:03:05

ANYWAY, WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT SOME BIG YEN

00:03:07

COMING IN FROM THE JAPANESE.

00:03:09

AND WHEN IT DOES,

00:03:10

I'M TAKING MY GYM BUDDY OUT TO DINNER.

00:03:13

[laughs] I BARELY EVEN KNOW YOU.

00:03:14

WHO'S FRANK?

00:03:16

- I'VE BEEN WANTING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT,

00:03:18

BUT IT'S A LITTLE AWKWARD.

00:03:20

- OH, WELL. [chuckles]

00:03:21

I'VE BEEN WANTING TO HAVE MY OWN AWKWARD TALK AS WELL.

00:03:24

- I THINK WE CAN BE MORE THAN JUST GYM BUDDIES.

00:03:28

- YOU'RE BLOWING MY MIND, FRANK.

00:03:30

- I'M AN AGENT, AND I'D LIKE TO WORK WITH YOU.

00:03:33

- OH. OH! [chuckles]

00:03:36

WELL, THAT IS GREAT NEWS. OKAY, GOOD.

00:03:38

I'M SO GLAD YOU WENT FIRST. UH, UH WHAT AGENCY ARE YOU WITH?

00:03:41

[narrator] FRANK SAID C.I.A.,

00:03:42

A GOVERNMET AGENCY THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE

00:03:44

FOR THIS CATASTROPHE.

00:03:47

BUT TOBIAS THOUGHT HE SAID C.A.A., A TALENT AGENCY THAT WAS

00:03:50

RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ONE.

00:03:52

- FRANK'S IN THE BUSINESS, MICHAEL.

00:03:54

HE'S GOT A BIG PROJECT FOR ME.

00:03:55

SAYS IT'S "TOP SECRET."

00:03:57

HE KIND OF LOOKS LIKE YOU. SAME SIZE.

00:03:59

SAME CURLY HAIR.

00:04:01

- TOBIAS, MAYBE YOU SHOULD SPEND LESS TIME...

00:04:03

FOCUSED ON YOUR LOOKS,

00:04:04

AND MORE TIME FOCUSED ON YOUR DAUGHTER, OKAY?

00:04:06

HER GRADES ARE TERRIBLE. SHE'S GONNA START GETTING F's.

00:04:09

[narrator] ACTUALLY, SHE'D

00:04:10

ALREADY GOTTEN ONE, AS THE MOVIE SHE'D RELEASED

00:04:12

IN HER SECRET LIFE AS A STUDIO EXECUTIVE WAS LOSING MONEY.

00:04:16

BUT MAEBY HAD A WAY TO FIX THAT.

00:04:19

- WE TURN IT INTO A RIDE. - A RIDE?

00:04:21

- ON THE STUDIO TOUR.

00:04:22

WHAT USED TO BE THE HELL TUNNEL...

00:04:25

NOW BECOMES THE TUNNEL OF LOVE, INDUBITABLY.

00:04:29

- BUT DIDN'T SOME PEOPLE DIE IN HELL TUNNEL?

00:04:31

- THAT IS AN URBAN LEGEND.

00:04:33

TWO ELDERLY PEOPLE GOT BADLY SCALDED...

00:04:35

WHEN THEY TRIED TO CLIMB INTO THE LAVA CAULDRON,

00:04:37

BUT I'VE GOT THAT COVERED.

00:04:40

- JUST LIKE THE POSTER!

00:04:42

- GRADES LIKE THOSE, SHE'S GONNA BE TAKING TICKETS

00:04:44

AT A MOVIE THEATER THE REST OF HER LIFE.

00:04:45

- YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU'RE ONE TO TALK.

00:04:47

YOU'VE COMPLETELY IGNORED THIS FAMILY...

00:04:49

SINCE THAT BRITISH BIRD FLEW INTO YOUR LIFE.

00:04:51

- NO, I HAVEN'T.

00:04:52

WELL, MAYBE A LITTLE. BUT, YOU KNOW, SHE'S AMAZING.

00:04:54

YOU KNOW, SHE WAS IN THE OLYMPICS?

00:04:56

[narrator] SHE WASN'T.

00:04:57

- SHE'S THAT RITA LEEDS?

00:04:58

- MM-HMM.

00:05:00

- WASN'T SHE ON THE COVER OF NEWSWEEK?

00:05:01

[narrator] NO.

00:05:02

- YES.

00:05:03

[narrator] MICHAEL WAS THINKING

00:05:05

OF THIS MAN.

00:05:06

- SHE EVEN PLAYS THE BANJO.

00:05:07

ALTHOUGH, I DO HAVE TO SPEND MORE TIME AT WORK.

00:05:09

I WAS AT THE PROPERTY THE JAPANESE FUNDED TODAY.

00:05:11

THE WHOLE BACKSIDE HAS MOLES.

00:05:13

- THAT'S FRANK'S PROBLEM TOO.

00:05:16

[narrator] LATER THAT DAY,

00:05:18

MICHAEL WENT INTO THE OFFICE TO FIND THE REST OF HIS FAMILY.

00:05:21

- WELL, LOOK WHO'S FINALLY GRACING US WITH HIS PRESENCE.

00:05:24

- WHAT'S THE SURROGATE DOING HERE?

00:05:25

- WE'RE MEETING WITH THE LAWYERS.

00:05:27

- SO I'VE HIRED THIS GUY TO BE MY EYES AND EARS.

00:05:29

- YOU KNOW, DAD, THIS GUY COSTS US A FORTUNE.

00:05:31

- HE'S WORTH EVERY PENNY.

00:05:32

- HEY, I DIDN'T SAY THAT. - OH, MICHAEL.

00:05:35

- MR. LOBLAW. - I'LL CATCH YOU UP.

00:05:37

THE JAPANESE ARE COMING. - THEY ARE?

00:05:38

- SOMEBODY TIPPED THEM OFF

00:05:40

THAT THE PROPERTY WASN'T READY FOR BUILDING.

00:05:42

- WHICH IT WOULD HAVE BEEN

00:05:43

IF MICHAEL HADN'T BEEN SO BUSY WITH HIS ENGLISH MUFFIN.

00:05:46

- TYPICAL. - DELICIOUS.

00:05:47

- I NEED A DRINK. - I'LL TAKE AN ENGLISH MUFFIN.

00:05:50

- WE'LL HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH THESE JAPANESE INVESTORS.

00:05:53

THEY, UH, COME FROM A CULTURE THAT VALUES HONOR AND RESPECT.

00:05:56

- AND GODZILLA! [roaring]

00:06:01

- GODZIRRA! - JUST SIT DOWN.

00:06:03

OKAY, GUYS. - GODZIRRA!

00:06:05

[roaring] - [roaring]

00:06:08

- THIS NEEDS TO STOP NOW!

00:06:10

OKAY, THIS IS EXACTLY

00:06:11

WHAT WE SHOULDN'T DO WHEN THEY SHOW UP.

00:06:13

- [roaring] - MOM! THAT'S ENOUGH.

00:06:14

- WHAT? WE'RE OUT OF VODKA.

00:06:16

- SORRY.

00:06:17

I THOUGHT YOU WERE DOING GODZILLA.

00:06:19

- [shrieking like Godzilla]

00:06:20

- MOM, THAT'S ENOUGH. - WHAT? I'M LAUGHING.

00:06:22

- OH. - HEY, MAYBE THAT'S IT.

00:06:24

MAYBE WE SHOULD DO TO THE JAPANESE WHAT

00:06:25

THEY DO IN THEIR MOVIES.

00:06:27

BUILD A MINIATURE CITY. PUT IT OUTSIDE THE WINDOW.

00:06:29

TELL THEM IT'S FAR AWAY.

00:06:31

IT'LL LOOK REAL IF YOU SQUINT. GOD KNOWS THEY'RE SQUINTERS.

00:06:34

WHAT DO YOU THINK, DAD? A WHOLE... "TINY TOWN."

00:06:36

[music box]

00:06:38

- ANOTHER BRILLIANT IDEA, EINSTEIN.

00:06:40

- REALLY?

00:06:41

YOU LIKE TO BUILD IT WITH ME?

00:06:43

- LARRY REALLY NEVER KNOWS HOW TO SELL THE SARCASM.

00:06:47

- IT'S A STUPID IDEA.

00:06:48

- UH. I'LL BUILD IT WITH YOU, GOB.

00:06:51

- OH, GREAT, THAT'S ANOTHER BRILLIANT IDEA, STEINBERG.

00:06:54

- I AGREE WITH MICHAEL.

00:06:56

IF YOU TAKE MONEY FROM THESE PEOPLE UNDER FALSE PRETENSES,

00:06:58

YOU'LL BE COMMITTING FRAUD.

00:07:00

THE GOVERNMENT'S ALREADY WATCHING YOUR FATHER CLOSELY.

00:07:02

THEY'RE GOING THROUGH HIS MAIL.

00:07:04

THEY WANT TO PUT YOUR FATHER IN PRISON FOR GOOD.

00:07:06

- YEAH, BOB'S RIGHT.

00:07:07

WE'VE GOT TO START THINKING PRACTICALLY.

00:07:09

LIFE IS NOT SOME CHEESY JAPANESE MOVIE...

00:07:12

WHERE THE HERO PULLS ON A PAIR OF JET PANTS AND--

00:07:14

- FLIES OFF THE BALCONY LIKE ASTROBOY.

00:07:16

[narrator] AND THAT'S WHEN GEORGE SR.

00:07:17

DID A WEB SEARCH FOR

00:07:19

THE WORDS, "JET PANTS."

00:07:21

- EVEN BETTER.

00:07:23

- THE BIGGER PROBLEM IS, WHO ALERTED THE JAPANESE?

00:07:25

I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE A SPY. THIS ROOM, OR SOMEONE IN IT,

00:07:28

MIGHT EVEN BE WIRED WITH A LISTENING DEVICE.

00:07:33

YOU NEED TO FIND THAT LEAK AND PLUG IT.

00:07:36

YOUR FATHER SAID THAT HE WAS SET UP BY A BRITISH SYNDICATE.

00:07:39

MAYBE YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR SOMEBODY ENGLISH.

00:07:40

- [woman singing] FOR BRITISH EYES ONLY

00:07:42

- WHAT?

00:07:44

- I THINK MICHAEL'S ALREADY PLUGGED OUR LEAK.

00:07:47

- WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

00:07:49

- YOU'VE BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME WITH RITA.

00:07:50

AND SHE'S "BRITISHISH." - SHE'S A SPY.

00:07:53

- I HAVEN'T TOLD RITA ANYTHING.

00:07:55

[narrator] THIS WAS NOT STRICTLY TRUE.

00:07:57

LET'S START WITH MY FAMILY'S MISDEMEANORS,

00:07:59

AND THEN PUSH RIGHT ON THROUGH TO

00:08:01

THE LIGHTER TREASONS.

00:08:02

THE JAPANESE BACKERS--

00:08:03

IF THEY FIND OUT THAT WE HAVEN'T STARTED BUILDING,

00:08:06

THEY MIGHT NOT COME THROUGH WITH THEIR INVESTMENTS.

00:08:08

THEN HE SIPHONED OFF THE ENTIRE PENSION FUND

00:08:10

INTO A DUMMY CORPORATION,

00:08:11

FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY,

00:08:13

AND USED-- DO YOU KNOW ANY OTHER SONGS?

00:08:15

- SHE'S A SPY! - RITA IS NOT A SPY, OKAY?

00:08:17

SHE'S A BEAUTIFUL, ELEGANT WOMAN.

00:08:18

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

00:08:20

- WHAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE IS WHY SHE'S DATING YOU.

00:08:23

- NO, THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

00:08:24

ACTUALLY, MY SOURCES TELL ME THAT THE LEAK

00:08:26

GOES BY THE NAME "MR. F."

00:08:27

- [woman singing] MR. F

00:08:29

- AH, MR. F. RITA'S NOT A MAN.

00:08:30

- AS FAR AS YOU KNOW. - AND IT COULD BE AN ALIAS.

00:08:33

- ALIAS IS A SHOW ABOUT A SPY! - ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT!

00:08:36

I FINALLY FIND SOMEONE THAT

00:08:37

I REALLY CARE ABOUT, MY FAMILY TRIES TO DRIVE US APART.

00:08:39

IT'S NOT GONNA WORK.

00:08:41

SO YOU KNOW WHAT? I GOT A SWITCH FOR YOU.

00:08:43

YOU GUYS HANDLE THIS PROBLEM. I AM GONNA GO HAVE SOME FUN.

00:08:46

- UNBELIEVABLE.

00:08:48

DESERTING THE FAMILY WHEN WE MOST NEED HIM.

00:08:50

SHAMEFUL.

00:08:51

- GOB, I'M SENDING YOU A PACKAGE.

00:08:53

YOU'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH I.

00:08:56

[narrator] MICHAEL WAS UPSET,

00:08:57

AND HE CALLED RITA.

00:08:58

- HELLO?

00:09:00

- HEY, I'VE BEEN THINKING.

00:09:02

I'M GOING TO START WORKING LESS, AND I DO WANT

00:09:04

TO START HAVING MORE FUN.

00:09:06

SO, I'D LIKE TO TAKE YOU OUT TOMORROW.

00:09:09

ALL DAY, ANYWHERE YOU WANT. WHAT DO YOU SAY?

00:09:11

[TV announcer] HELL TUNNEL TAKES ANOTHER NAME.

00:09:13

WILL IT TAKE ANOTHER LIFE?

00:09:15

- OH, I SAY YES.

00:09:18

ONLY, I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU OUT.

00:09:20

[woman singing] MR. F

00:09:27

[narrator] THE NEXT MORNING,

00:09:29

MICHAEL WAS HEADING OUT FOR HIS DAY WITH RITA.

00:09:31

- GEORGE MICHAEL. - HEY, I LOVE MY PRESENT, DAD.

00:09:32

I'D WEAR IT TO SCHOOL, BUT WHO NEEDS A WELCH WEDGE, RIGHT?

00:09:35

- [chuckles] YEAH.

00:09:36

- THAT'S WHEN THEY--

00:09:37

- ENOUGH BUSINESS. IN FACT, I GOT YOU ANOTHER PRESENT.

00:09:40

IT'S SOMETHING I SAW YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS OUT WITH RITA.

00:09:42

IT'S TIME FOR US TO START HAVING SOME FUN.

00:09:43

- I DON'T KNOW.

00:09:45

"FUN" AND "FAILURE" BOTH START OUT THE SAME WAY.

00:09:48

- LET'S JUST GO AHEAD AND RIP THIS DOWN, HUH?

00:09:54

[narrator] AND LARRY, THE SURROGATE,

00:09:57

SHOWED UP TO PICK UP THE JET PACK THAT GEORGE SR.

00:09:59

HAD SENT TO THE MODEL HOME.

00:10:01

- WHAT IS THAT, A TRAIN SET? LOOK DOWN, LARRY.

00:10:04

- NO, NOT DOWN AT YOUR FEET. - LEFT.

00:10:07

MY LEFT, YOUR RIGHT.

00:10:09

- WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THIS GUY?

00:10:11

AND, LET ME GUESS, HE'S PROBABLY--

00:10:12

- SAYING ALL THAT TOO.

00:10:14

- IT IS A TRAIN SET! THOSE JAPANESE SITES.

00:10:18

I'M NEVER GONNA FIND MY WAY-- - PAST THAT HALLWAY SENSOR.

00:10:22

- DAD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? IS THIS THE PACKAGE YOU SENT ME?

00:10:27

TINY TOWN.

00:10:29

THIS IS FOR TINY TOWN, ISN'T IT?

00:10:32

YOU DID LIKE MY IDEA, DIDN'T YOU, DAD?

00:10:34

- I THINK HE'S IN THE CAN.

00:10:36

[narrator] ACTUALLY, GEORGE SR.

00:10:38

WAS IN THE KITCHEN,

00:10:39

TRYING TO SOOTHE HIMSELF WITH AN ICE CREAM SANDWICH.

00:10:46

AND THAT'S WHEN HE DISCOVERED

00:10:47

A WAY TO POSSIBLY SLIP BY THE SENSORS.

00:10:50

- IF MOTHER SEES THIS, SHE WILL BLOW A COW.

00:10:54

[groaning]

00:10:58

- UH-OH. - DAD?

00:11:02

OH, COOL, A TRAIN SET.

00:11:03

- OH, I'VE ALWAYS WANTED ONE OF THOSE.

00:11:06

- MAYBE WE COULD BUILD OUR TINY TOWN TOGETHER.

00:11:10

DO YOU WANT TO, DAD?

00:11:12

[narrator] BUSTER HAD ALWAYS WANTED

00:11:13

TO DO THE SAME WITH GOB.

00:11:15

- GOODY! YEAH. I DO WANT TO.

00:11:18

- YEA. I DO WANT TO. GOODY.

00:11:20

[narrator] GOB WAS THRILLED, AS WAS BUSTER.

00:11:24

ONLY LARRY WAS DISAPPOINTED.

00:11:26

BUT HE WAS SUCH A PRO YOU'D NEVER KNOW IT.

00:11:28

AND BACK AT THE GYM, TOBIAS WAS

00:11:30

FINDING OUT MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT THE AGENT HAD SUGGESTED.

00:11:34

- COME ON!

00:11:35

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA TELL ME?

00:11:36

WHAT'VE YOU GOT FOR ME?

00:11:38

- THE JAPANESE INVESTORS YOU TOLD US ABOUT ARE GOING

00:11:40

OVER TO YOUR PLACE TODAY.

00:11:42

I NEED YOU THERE WHEN THEY ARE. WE NEED YOU TO BE A MOLE.

00:11:44

- OH. KIND OF A BACKER'S AUDITION.

00:11:47

OKAY, I GET IT. ALL RIGHT. WELL THEN, FRANK,

00:11:49

I SHALL BE A BIGGER,

00:11:52

HAIRIER MOLE THAN THE ONE ON YOUR INNER LEFT THIGH.

00:11:55

[laughing]

00:11:56

[narrator] AND LATER,

00:11:57

MICHAEL AND RITA WERE ON THE TANTAMOUNT STUDIOS TOUR.

00:11:59

- THE THING SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT

00:12:01

BOVINE SPONGIFORM ENCEPHALITIS IS--

00:12:02

- HOLD! HOLD! THE TRAM.

00:12:04

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE, FOLKS! MAKE SOME ROOM!

00:12:06

MAKE SOME ROOM!

00:12:07

- LOOK! IT'S MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE!

00:12:09

- IN THE MIDDLE OF SHOOTING, I GUESS.

00:12:10

- OH, THAT'S OKAY.

00:12:12

IT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO SHOW HOW WE MAKE THE SHOW

00:12:14

THAN ACTUALLY MAKE IT.

00:12:16

[bleep] TANTAMOUNT.

00:12:18

[ringing] - HELLO?

00:12:19

- THEY DROPPED OFF THE PACKAGE YOU SENT,

00:12:21

BUT I DON'T THINK I'M OLD ENOUGH FOR IT.

00:12:23

- OF COURSE YOU ARE.

00:12:24

I WANT YOU TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN. YOU'RE NOT GONNA BREAK ANYTHING.

00:12:27

[narrator] BUT OF COURSE,

00:12:29

MICHAEL THOUGHT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE TRAIN SET.

00:12:31

NOT THE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS JET PACK THE BOY HAD

00:12:33

JUST FOUND AT THE FRONT DOOR.

00:12:35

- WELL, WHAT IF I CRASH IT? - THAT'S HALF THE FUN.

00:12:39

[narrator] AND SOON THE TOUR ARRIVED AT

00:12:42

THE TUNNEL OF LOVE, INDUBITABLY.

00:12:45

[Woman On P.A.] SO TAKE THE HAND

00:12:46

OF SOMEONE YOU LOVE...

00:12:48

AS WE ENTER THE TUNNEL OF LOVE, INDUBITABLY.

00:12:51

[Man on P.A.] NO, LOVE HELL.

00:12:52

[laughing]

00:12:54

[narrator] BUT MICHAEL WAS HAPPY TO HOLD

00:12:55

THE HAND OF SOMEONE HE DID LO.

00:12:58

AND THEN, HE NOTICED HER BRACELET.

00:13:07

[narrator] MICHAEL HAD

00:13:08

JUST NOTICED THAT RITA WAS WEARING A SUSPICIOUS BRACELET.

00:13:12

- WHAT DOES YOUR BRACELET SAY?

00:13:13

- [chuckling] NOTHING.

00:13:16

OH, LOOK. LOOK, THERE THEY ARE ON THE BICYCLE MADE FOR TWO.

00:13:20

- IT SAYS MR. F, DOESN'T IT? WHO IS HE?

00:13:22

- NOBODY. I CAN'T TELL YOU!

00:13:25

OH, GOD. HE FOLLOWED US.

00:13:28

- WAIT A MINUTE. YOU KNOW THAT MAN?

00:13:31

- IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS. IT'S MY UNCLE.

00:13:33

- IS THAT MR. F? WHAT DOES HE WANT?

00:13:35

- HE WANTS YOU OUT OF THE PICTURE.

00:13:38

- BLOODY RIGHT I DO. - H-HEY!

00:13:40

- OH! - YOU LIED TO ME, RITA!

00:13:44

YOU MADE ME TURN AGAINST MY FAMILY.

00:13:46

BUT IT'S OVER NOW.

00:13:47

[buzzer sounding] - OH! ME-- [bleep] ARE WET.

00:13:51

- [whimpers]

00:13:53

[narrator] AND MAEBY RECEIVED

00:13:54

A CALL ABOUT THE LATEST LAVA CAULDRON ACCIDENT.

00:13:57

- ALREADY? IT'S ONLY BEEN AN HOUR.

00:13:59

I'M GONNA LOSE THIS JOB.

00:14:00

MAYBE I SHOULD LET MORT TAKE ME OUT TO DINNER.

00:14:02

- MAEBY?

00:14:03

- OKAY, I'M DEFINITELY GONNA LOSE THIS JOB.

00:14:05

I CAN EXPLAIN.

00:14:07

- RITA SET ME UP. SHE SET US ALL UP.

00:14:08

THIS BEAUTIFUL, FUNNY, BRILLIANT WOMAN WAS A SPY.

00:14:10

EVERYBODY WAS RIGHT.

00:14:12

IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. AND I... AM TURNING HER IN.

00:14:14

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ELSE.

00:14:16

I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE THE NEXT WOMAN WHO TRIES TO FOOL ME.

00:14:20

- WELL, THAT WAS A FREEBIE. [chuckles]

00:14:23

[narrator] GEORGE MICHAEL,

00:14:24

MEANWHILE, WAS TRYING TO SOLVE A MYSTERY OF HIS OWN.

00:14:26

[speaking Japanese] THE JET PACK...

00:14:28

HAD COME WITH AN INSTRUCTIONAL DVD THAT SEEMED TO CONFUSE

00:14:31

MORE THAN CLARIFY.

00:14:34

WHAT WAS CLEAR WAS THAT THE GIFT WAS

00:14:35

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

00:14:38

[cartoon robot, woman both speaking Japanese ]

00:14:46

AND IT DID SEEM LIKE A LOT OF WORK...

00:14:50

FOR A LITTLE PAYOFF.

00:14:53

- HAVE FUN! HAVE FUN.

00:14:55

[narrator] MEANWHILE, GOB WAS BONDING

00:14:57

WITH THE MAN HE THOUGHT HIS FATHER WAS CONTROLLING.

00:14:59

- ALMOST DONE WITH THE WATER TOWER.

00:15:01

- NEAT-O.

00:15:03

[narrator] HIS REAL FATHER, HOWEVER, HAD

00:15:05

GOTTEN LOST WITHIN THE WALLS.

00:15:08

- WHERE THE HELL AM I?

00:15:09

[narrator] HE WAS ACTUALLY SOMEWHERE

00:15:11

BETWEEN THE LINEN CLOSET AND THE GUEST ROOM.

00:15:13

- I'M REALLY GLAD THAT WE'RE DOING THIS TOGETHER.

00:15:15

[chuckles]

00:15:16

I'VE NEVER FELT SO CLOSE TO YOU.

00:15:18

- OH! I FEEL THE SAME WAY.

00:15:20

- HE'S CRYING NOW. - OH, GOD, LOOK AT US.

00:15:24

WE'RE LIKE A COUPLE OF GIRLS ON THE LAST DAY OF CAMP.

00:15:29

[narrator] RIGHT OUTSIDE THE HOUSE,

00:15:31

TOBIAS WAS WORKING WITH THE MAN HE THOUGHT WAS A TALENT AGENT.

00:15:34

- YOU READY?

00:15:36

- OH, YES. I'M GONNA BE A GREAT MOLE.

00:15:37

[chuckling] CHECK, TWO, THREE.

00:15:39

"LET LILLY LICK LIONEL'S LUSTY LEATHERS.

00:15:40

LET LILLY LICK LIONEL'S--" - THE LEVELS ARE FINE.

00:15:42

- ALL RIGHT.

00:15:44

- REMEMBER, NO ONE CAN KNOW IT'S YOU.

00:15:46

WE NEED TO CAPTURE GEORGE SR. - CAPTURE GEORGE SR.?

00:15:49

WHAT-- IS THAT WHAT YOU HIRED ME TO DO?

00:15:50

- YOU DIDN'T REALIZE THAT?

00:15:52

- NO. BUT IT DOES MAKE PERFECT SENSE.

00:15:54

I HAVE PLAYED HIM BEFORE.

00:15:57

[narrator] HE HAD, IN THE POORLY NARRATED

00:15:59

REALITY SERIES, SCANDALMAKERS.

00:16:01

- IT'S GONNA BE TOUGH TO WORK THAT INTO THE CHARACTER,

00:16:03

AND IT'S GOING TO FIGHT THE COSTUME I RENTED,

00:16:06

BUT I DIDN'T TAKE SIX WEEKS OF IMPROV CLASSES AT

00:16:08

THE GROUNDLINGS FOR NOTHING.

00:16:09

[chuckling]

00:16:10

[narrator] MICHAEL WAS ON THE PHONE

00:16:12

TO BOB LOBLAW.

00:16:13

- I DON'T EVEN THINK

00:16:14

SHE'S HERE LEGALLY, ALL RIGHT?

00:16:16

SHE'S TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF ME.

00:16:17

I-I WANT YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THIS.

00:16:19

CALL THE C.I.A., DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO.

00:16:21

- FINE, BUT YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY.

00:16:23

I THINK THEY'RE GOING AHEAD WITH THIS HOAX.

00:16:25

AND IF MONEY CHANGES HANDS, YOU'RE ALL GOING TO JAIL.

00:16:28

- WELL, UNFORTUNATELY THE ROADS ARE OUT, SO WE CAN'T TAKE YOU

00:16:31

UP THERE TO SEE IT IN PERSON,

00:16:32

BUT IF YOU STAND ABSOLUTELY STILL RIGHT THERE,

00:16:35

AND JUST SQUINT IN-INTO THE LIGHT,

00:16:37

AND BEHOLD, SUDDEN HILL!

00:16:39

- GOB! DON'T!

00:16:42

[narrator] IT ACTUALLY LOOKED PRETTY GOOD.

00:16:44

EVEN THE FINANCIERS THOUGHT SO.

00:16:45

ISHIRO SAID,

00:16:47

"I AM REASSURED. AND THEY TREAT US WITH RESPECT THIS TIME."

00:16:50

MOTOYOSHI SAID,

00:16:52

"I THOUGHT THE WOMAN WAS PRETENDING AS A MONSTER,

00:16:55

BUT SHE WAS JUST OUT OF VODKA."

00:16:57

- LET'S GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE CURTAINS, AND NOT ACCEPT

00:16:59

ANY MONEY WHILE WE'RE AHEAD.

00:17:00

- SO, AS YOU CAN SEE, ANY RUMOR OF A MOLE PROBLEM

00:17:02

IS COMPLETELY UNTRUE.

00:17:05

[narrator] BUT, UNFORTUNATELY,

00:17:07

THIS WAS JUST AS TOBIAS APPEARED IN HIS RENTED MOLE OUTFIT.

00:17:09

- [Tobias] I'M A MOLE! - NOT THE VILLAGE!

00:17:12

- FAMILIES CAN COME-- OW! OW!

00:17:15

I'M VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT BUILDING CODES.

00:17:17

- THE WATER TOWER.

00:17:19

- AND THIS WATER TOWER DOES NOT PASS MUSTER.

00:17:23

LUCILLE! - WHO CAN SAVE OUR VILLAGE?

00:17:25

[narrator] AS IT TURNED OUT,

00:17:26

IT WAS GEORGE MICHAEL... WHO HAD FINALLY

00:17:28

GOTTEN HIS GRANDFATHER'S JET PACK TO WORK.

00:17:30

- [laughing] - [grunting]

00:17:32

- HARD TO BREATHE IN THIS THING.

00:17:34

IT'S REALLY HOT. I'M SWEATING ALL OVER MYSELF.

00:17:37

- [gasps] - I CAN'T STOP THIS THING!

00:17:39

- YOU'RE BLOWING MY AUDITION!

00:17:41

[narrator translating] I ACHE WITH EMBARRASSMENT.

00:17:45

THE JAPANESE WERE NEVER TO BE HEARD FROM AGAIN.

00:17:49

- OKAY, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

00:17:53

OKAY, THAT'S NO SURPRISE. GEORGE MICHAEL?

00:17:56

- DAD, I-I'M SORRY.

00:17:57

I CAN'T FLY IT VERY WELL, ALL RIGHT?

00:17:59

I THINK I WOULD RATHER HAVE THE WELCH.

00:18:00

- I DIDN'T BUY YOU THAT.

00:18:02

I BOUGHT YOU THE TRAIN SET, WHICH YOU GUYS JUST DESTROYED.

00:18:04

- DID YOU KEEP THE RECEIPT? [feedback squealing]

00:18:07

- WHAT IS THAT?

00:18:08

- IT'S FEEDBACK. IS SOMEONE ELSE WIRED?

00:18:11

- OH, THAT'S ME. [chuckles]

00:18:12

MY FRIEND FRANK WIRED ME.

00:18:14

HE WANTED ME TO BE A MOLE. - OUR COVER'S BLOWN.

00:18:17

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

00:18:20

GOOD-BYE, TOBIAS.

00:18:23

- HE WANTED YOU TO BE A MOLE? [tires screeching]

00:18:26

OH, MY GOD. TOBIAS FUNKE

00:18:28

YOU'RE MR. F.

00:18:29

WHICH MEANS THAT MAN WAS RITA'S UNCLE.

00:18:31

WHAT HAVE I DONE?

00:18:33

- I HAVE TO GET THIS SUIT BACK. - THEY DESTROYED OUR TOWN.

00:18:35

BUT THEY CAN'T TAKE AWAY OUR MEMORIES.

00:18:37

- OH! I'VE HAD--

00:18:38

- THE TIME OF MY LIFE.

00:18:40

- I THINK HE'S BEING SARCASTIC, GOB.

00:18:43

- NO, I'M NOT, MOTHER.

00:18:44

[gasps] I MEAN LOVER.

00:18:46

- I LIKE MAKING LOVE TO MOTHER. - I MEAN LOVER!

00:18:49

- OH, MY GOD. BUSTER, IS THAT YOU?

00:18:50

- YES.

00:18:52

GOB, IT'S JUST I WANTED TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH YOU.

00:18:56

THAT'S ALL. AND YOU ENJOYED IT.

00:18:57

YOU CAN'T DENY THAT.

00:18:59

- [sighs] I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.

00:19:02

MAYBE WE SHOULD SPEND MORE TIME TOGETHER.

00:19:04

- OH, I'D REALLY LIKE THAT. - IT'S WEIRD.

00:19:08

IT TOOK SOME IDIOT PARROT MAN WITH A CAMERA IN HIS HAT

00:19:10

TO BRING US TOGETHER.

00:19:14

[narrator] BUT EVEN A PRO LIKE LARRY

00:19:15

HAS A BREAKING POINT.

00:19:17

[knocking] - RITA.

00:19:20

- WHAT DO YOU WANT?

00:19:22

I HAVE TO PACK. - PACK? WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

00:19:24

- SOMEONE CALLED THE BOBBIES ON US.

00:19:25

- NO, NO.

00:19:27

- MY UNCLE AND I HAVE TO GO BACK TO BIG BRITAIN.

00:19:29

- OH, THAT WAS ME, RITA.

00:19:30

I AM SO, SO SORRY.

00:19:32

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON.

00:19:33

WHY DID YOUR UNCLE THREATEN ME?

00:19:35

- HE THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE TROUBLE.

00:19:37

- THAT WAS ACTUALLY VERY ASTUTE OF HIM.

00:19:39

- GOOD-BYE, MICHAEL.

00:19:42

YOU KNOW, I REALLY DID FANCY YOU.

00:19:44

I CAN'T STAY HERE NOW.

00:19:46

- MARRY ME. - WHAT?

00:19:49

- LET ME MARRY YOU.

00:19:51

YOU CAN GET A GREEN CARD, YOU-YOU CAN STAY AND WE CAN JUST

00:19:53

SEE IF THIS WORKS, YOU KNOW?

00:19:55

IT SOUNDS CRAZY, BUT THIS WILL GIVE US A CHANCE...

00:19:57

TO GET AWAY FROM BOTH OF OUR FAMILIES

00:19:59

AND SEE IF THIS WORKS.

00:20:01

MIGHT BE FUN. - [softly] YES.

00:20:04

- REALLY? - YES.

00:20:08

YES, YES, YES!

00:20:11

BUT LET'S GO RIGHT NOW, OKAY?

00:20:13

BEFORE MY UNCLE GETS OUT OF THE SHOWER FOR SOME MORE CIGARETTES.

00:20:15

YOU TAKE THAT, I GOTTA LEAVE A NOTE.

00:20:24

[narrator] BUT THERE WAS

00:20:26

ONE PIECE OF INTELLIGENCE THAT MICHAEL DIDN'T HAVE.

00:20:28

- INTERESTING.

00:20:30

- DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, JAY.

00:20:31

SHE'S AN M.R.F.

00:20:33

- M.R.F.? WHAT'S THAT? - MENTALLY RETARDED FEMALE.

00:20:37

- THAT EXPLAINS WHAT SHE'S DOING WITH HIM.

00:20:40

- AND THE HATS.

00:20:45

- OH, MY GOD! SHE'S GONNA MARRY HIM.

00:20:48

[narrator] ON THE NEXT

00:20:49

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT.

00:20:51

GEORGE SR., DISORIENTED IN THE WALLS, ALMOST MAKES

00:20:54

CONTACT WITH A NEW MOLE.

00:20:57

- [screams]

00:21:00

[narrator] NOT THAT ONE. WAIT FOR IT.

00:21:07

AND MICHAEL AND RITA START A NEW LIFE TOGETHER.

00:21:10

- WHAT'S THAT? - A PRIZE.

00:21:13

A LOVELY, LOVELY PRIZE.
