Indian Takers

00:00:13

NARRATOR: On the top of a hillside

00:00:16

deep in the mountains of Shuturmurg, India,

00:00:19

sits a mystical retreat long sought out

00:00:21

-by those seeking answers... -Is this real?

00:00:24

to the questions that define us.

00:00:25

I mean, is any of this real?

00:00:27

How do I know what's real?

00:00:29

NARRATOR: This is Lindsay Bluth-Funke.

00:00:32

You see me before you, yes?

00:00:34

I am real to you.

00:00:36

And this bag next to me, it is as real as you or me.

00:00:40

No, I know that one's real.

00:00:42

I meant the other one-- the Louis Vuitton.

00:00:43

I don't remember Vuitton having two E's.

00:00:45

NARRATOR: The hillside was also known

00:00:47

-for their bargains on designer handbags. -Oh, no!

00:00:49

That's how they do it here.

00:00:51

You can't go wrong. Best bag on the mountain.

00:00:53

I love this bag. I give you 60 for it.

00:00:55

-It's the best bag on the mountain. -Excuse me.

00:00:57

-I just promised it to her. -I'll give you $70.

00:00:59

NARRATOR: Lindsay Bluth had come to India for both reasons.

00:01:01

-Uh, $120. -You just bought the best bag on the mountain.

00:01:04

-Congratulations. -Best bag on the mountain.

00:01:07

(chuckles)

00:01:09

NARRATOR: Now the story of a family

00:01:10

whose future was abruptly canceled

00:01:13

and the one daughter who had no choice

00:01:15

but to keep her life together.

00:01:21

It's Lindsay's...

00:01:26

-LINDSAY: I love it. -NARRATOR: Lindsay was on

00:01:27

a spiritual journey to let go

00:01:29

of all possessions and to find something cute

00:01:32

-to keep her stuff in. -It's gorgeous.

00:01:33

Months earlier, Lindsay had lost her bearings

00:01:36

after finding out she wasn't born

00:01:39

to the family she couldn't bear.

00:01:40

-I'm adopted? -So, after getting

00:01:43

briefly creepy with her brother...

00:01:45

I'm just not that into older women.

00:01:47

-Don't worry about it. -You bastard!

00:01:48

She shared some resentments

00:01:49

with her family at the boat party.

00:01:51

Kitty likes to scratch... (yells)

00:01:53

But before she could disassociate herself

00:01:55

-from the Bluth name... -Because now I know that we're not related. I'm going to marry Michael...

00:01:58

Oh, my God. The SEC.

00:02:00

...the Bluth name would become...

00:02:02

...as sullied as Newport Bay on the fifth of May.

00:02:05

LUCILLE: They are persecuting me.

00:02:07

It was an accident. This is ridiculous!

00:02:10

If I'd told them we were taking a bunch of gays out there to get married, they'd have thrown me a parade.

00:02:14

Let's tell them we were taking a bunch of gays to get married.

00:02:18

Yeah, I don't think your record on that issue is going to back that up, Mom.

00:02:21

NARRATOR: In fact, it was an issue

00:02:23

of the Bay Window magazine

00:02:24

that would most damage her with the gay community.

00:02:26

LUCILLE: Fine. We'll say they took it on a joyride.

00:02:29

And you have no right to criticize me.

00:02:31

At least I was able to turn my Queen around.

00:02:33

None taken.

00:02:35

NARRATOR: This is Tobias Funke,

00:02:36

who should have taken more.

00:02:38

-Oh. -LINDSAY: You cannot say one nice thing to your daughter, can you?

00:02:42

Adopted daughter.

00:02:44

And that's not true.

00:02:46

MAN: Could I have the Bluth family over here, please?

00:02:49

And over here, the victims of the Bluth family?

00:02:51

NARRATOR: And that's when Lindsay

00:02:54

found a label more fitting than "Bluth."

00:02:56

No, Lindsay, you're going to the wrong area.

00:02:59

Kenny, Chet, Curtis, Mike, Bix and Gator are over here.

00:03:01

We should be over here at the Bluth area with Gob and Buster and, uh... uh...

00:03:07

(sighs) uh, your brother, uh...

00:03:10

-Michael? -Michael. Yes.

00:03:12

Sorry. I was thinking of Mike, the hot seaman.

00:03:15

-No, where is Michael? -It doesn't matter.

00:03:17

He's not my brother.

00:03:18

This isn't my family.

00:03:19

No, I've spent years...

00:03:22

Yes! Got my yes. I got that big yes.

00:03:24

I've spent years trying to fit into this family, and it's not me.

00:03:29

My life is a fallacy.

00:03:31

Oh...

00:03:33

♪ Is that a gal I see? ♪

00:03:34

♪ No, it's just a phallus... eee! ♪

00:03:38

We loved that. Where's that from?

00:03:41

NARRATOR: It's from nothing.

00:03:42

But it made her realize this, too.

00:03:45

I don't know if there's a right time to say this, but this marriage of ours, it hasn't been working.

00:03:51

Yeah... there's nothing keeping us together.

00:03:55

(Maeby coughing nearby)

00:03:56

I... I believe we're thinking the same thing.

00:04:00

-Yeah, we should end it. -Let's give it another shot.

00:04:03

To the head. Kill it.

00:04:04

Yes.

00:04:09

NARRATOR: Lindsay was looking for inspiration

00:04:12

before she set out on her new path.

00:04:15

And it only took until the "Pray" section

00:04:17

of Eat, Pray, Love for her to find it.

00:04:21

Hmm.

00:04:22

Soon, she was beginning a journey to reinvent herself.

00:04:26

Ugh. I'm doing it again.

00:04:28

I have to let go of these material things.

00:04:31

NARRATOR: To leave the trappings of her old life

00:04:33

and try to live with less.

00:04:36

(sighs) There.

00:04:38

Her immersion into Indian culture began

00:04:40

even before reaching the airport.

00:04:41

And, uh... and so this daily prayer, it connects one to the whole.

00:04:45

Yes, the whole of humanity, yes.

00:04:46

-(horn honking) -Look at this guy, huh?!

00:04:48

Stay in your lane, anus tart.

00:04:49

-(bleep) anus tart. -God.

00:04:51

You know, you sense the oneness in all.

00:04:54

And they have normal toilets, right?

00:04:57

NARRATOR: And after an hour or so

00:04:58

with SkyMall, where she was

00:05:00

proud of herself for only buying two things--

00:05:03

a self-cleaning litter box in case she ever got a cat

00:05:07

and an inflatable hat box in case she ever got a hat--

00:05:11

she got to a great article in the in-flight magazine

00:05:14

and found herself filling up

00:05:16

with inner peace and acceptance.

00:05:18

-(thumping) -I mean, not right away.

00:05:20

What is she doing back there?

00:05:22

-(passenger groaning) -That passenger had been

00:05:24

pushing on her seat for like four hours.

00:05:26

Lindsay's journey to let go of her baggage

00:05:30

got off to a bad start at baggage claim

00:05:33

when she picked up the wrong baggage.

00:05:35

And her Western notions of the value of life

00:05:38

were challenged on the bus ride to the hotel.

00:05:40

(man screams, loud thud)

00:05:41

LINDSAY: Oh, my God.

00:05:42

Did... did we just hit something?

00:05:45

Shouldn't we stop?

00:05:46

No. It wasn't a cow.

00:05:48

-It was just a tourist. -(laughter)

00:05:52

NARRATOR: And that's how Lindsay's path

00:05:53

-to living with less... -Wait. This isn't my...

00:05:56

How am I supposed to find out who I really am dressed like this chick?

00:06:00

...took a brief detour into a shopping spree at India's

00:06:03

-famous Mall Mountain. -It's cute on me.

00:06:05

But I thought it was supposed to say "Kate."

00:06:08

Oh, no, anything under a small is considered a "David Spade."

00:06:12

I love this jacket. I'll give you 60 for it.

00:06:14

Best coat on the mountain.

00:06:15

-65. -70! It'd look great on my wife or my sickly son.

00:06:19

-100 bucks. Yes! -$100, yes.

00:06:21

NARRATOR: And soon, she was back

00:06:23

at the hotel and ready

00:06:24

-for her spiritual experience. -(sighs)

00:06:28

(bell dings)

00:06:29

Yeah, hi.

00:06:30

Uh, were you able to book my 3:00 shaman?

00:06:32

Oh, yes. Did you want the deep wisdom or just a light ego cleanse?

00:06:35

We do those by the pool.

00:06:37

-There's a pool? -WOMAN: It's hard to tell because there are so many people in it, but yes, it is a pool.

00:06:42

Well, yeah, by the pool, then.

00:06:44

And, uh, do you think you can get someone to remove the smell of lamb from my room?

00:06:49

Of course. And which animal smell would you prefer?

00:06:51

Which do you prefer?

00:06:53

NARRATOR: But at her 3:00 p.m. shaman...

00:06:55

You are living a life without love.

00:06:58

-Lindsay got a deeper treatment -How do I learn to...

00:07:00

-than she had hoped for. -be happy?

00:07:01

You know, to love?

00:07:03

When love is near your heart, you'll be happy.

00:07:06

You must live life truthfully.

00:07:09

Yeah, no, I-I-I do live truthfully, but, uh... (sighs)

00:07:14

I'm just so full of passion.

00:07:17

You are so full of (bleep).

00:07:19

Yeah, yeah.

00:07:20

Although, in my culture, "full of (bleep)" is kind of like a dig.

00:07:24

I mean, you'd never say it to a customer.

00:07:26

But, uh, yeah, no, I-I know what you mean.

00:07:28

This bag is as fake as you are.

00:07:31

(sighs) Well, how do I learn?

00:07:33

Just look at the spelling.

00:07:34

God. No, I...

00:07:36

Pull your head out of the sand.

00:07:38

Love is where you left it.

00:07:40

You mean... back home?

00:07:43

God.

00:07:44

The only person back home is Tobias.

00:07:46

You have no children?

00:07:48

NARRATOR: Lindsay thought she was being hit on.

00:07:51

No. Why do you ask?

00:07:53

Wait a minute. You're saying I've come halfway around the world to find out

00:07:58

I need to go back home?

00:07:59

God, I haven't even gone to the beach yet.

00:08:02

NARRATOR: She had. It was just too crowded to see the water.

00:08:06

It was a moving experience,

00:08:08

but after leaving the tent, it wasn't just

00:08:11

the shaman's words that got through to her.

00:08:13

It was this.

00:08:14

I'm sorry. Your AmEx was declined.

00:08:16

Your account is maxed out.

00:08:18

We had to cancel your shaman appointment.

00:08:20

No, no, I just talked to the shaman, just right back at...

00:08:25

MAN: Get out! Get out!

00:08:27

Go away! Get out! Get out! Get out!

00:08:29

I'm sorry to yell at you, but as I said, it was declined.

00:08:34

So get out.

00:08:36

NARRATOR: But, fortunately, the universe

00:08:38

offered a solution to her financial problem

00:08:40

that wasn't too far off from what her shaman had said.

00:08:43

LUCILLE (over phone): Oh, I've got money for you, sweetie,

00:08:46

but it means my loving daughter smiling next to her husband

00:08:48

sitting behind me at the trial.

00:08:50

LINDSAY: Would you take a grimace?

00:08:53

NARRATOR: So it was with this dual intention

00:08:55

that she reached out to a husband she'd left behind,

00:08:59

with a new sense of inner peace.

00:09:01

Of course, there was still some outer stuff

00:09:03

she needed to work through.

00:09:04

(over phone): Hello. It's Tobias.

00:09:05

-Leave a message. -(beep)

00:09:07

I'm ready to make this work.

00:09:11

NARRATOR: It was with a sense of enlightenment that Lindsay

00:09:13

returned from her spiritual journey...

00:09:15

...to get her hands on the stimulus money, too, right?

00:09:18

Stop with the prayer hands.

00:09:19

It just looks like you're out of ideas.

00:09:21

Seriously, shoot me if you ever catch me doing that.

00:09:23

Says the least spiritual man I know.

00:09:25

MICHAEL: What deal did you strike with her?

00:09:27

What part of her soul did you buy?

00:09:30

All I've asked is that she testify that I was a wonderful mother who did her best.

00:09:34

So all of it.

00:09:35

No, Michael. I'm not a whore.

00:09:38

I don't get any of the money until after I do the disgusting thing.

00:09:40

But I'm not here just for the stimmy.

00:09:43

I'm here because a shaman told me that love is where I left it.

00:09:46

Which, after much soul searching and by process of elimination, is Tobias.

00:09:52

TOBIAS: I got the part.

00:09:56

NARRATOR: And so Lindsay and Tobias

00:09:57

took another shot at being husband and wife,

00:10:00

and although they wouldn't have money

00:10:02

until after the perjury, they set about

00:10:04

-buying a home. -Are you ready to make a move?

00:10:06

As you can see, I'm ready for a lot that's new.

00:10:10

Oh! Good heavens!

00:10:12

Right!

00:10:14

Well, this is a great area.

00:10:15

There's some wonderful surgi-centers nearby.

00:10:17

We're doing it. We're really doing this.

00:10:19

Yes! We're gonna get you in the right house.

00:10:21

And it's just the two of you? You have no children?

00:10:24

We don't.

00:10:25

TOBIAS: We should be honest here.

00:10:27

We have no income flow.

00:10:29

No incoming income flow.

00:10:30

We have plenty of outgoing income.

00:10:32

No savings, no credit.

00:10:34

I mean, we had some stimmy, but that went to his hospital bills.

00:10:38

But there's one thing we do have--

00:10:40

Work ethic!

00:10:41

Right. No work ethic.

00:10:42

But there's one thing we do have-- we do have a daughter.

00:10:45

I was just on auto-pilot before, when I said we didn't.

00:10:48

I should have caught that; yeah, but...

00:10:49

MAEBY: I could've spoken up, but I just wanted to see if you guys got there.

00:10:53

Well, you guys seem like a great family.

00:10:55

We have to be realistic.

00:10:56

I'm in the real estate business.

00:10:58

It's 2006.

00:11:00

That's all good enough for me.

00:11:02

We're gonna put you in a NINJA loan.

00:11:03

"No income, no jobs, no assets."

00:11:05

And you don't have to pay a penny for two years.

00:11:07

Oh, NINJA! Please!

00:11:09

So we'll take something cozy and intimate.

00:11:10

-A one-bedroom. -Or bigger.

00:11:13

Yeah, how about something nice? A three-bedroom?

00:11:14

LINDSAY: Three does sound bigger.

00:11:15

Oh, it definitely is.

00:11:17

NARRATOR: You have to remember that this was a time

00:11:19

when banks were eager to create as much debt as possible.

00:11:21

...the five-bedroom, four-car garage.

00:11:23

And I know that you guys are going to be okay with just one master bathroom, because a lot of people do prefer two.

00:11:30

You know, they like to just have it.

00:11:32

Maybe separate, so we have it.

00:11:33

So we have it. That way we have it.

00:11:35

That way you have it.

00:11:36

Do you think we really need one?

00:11:37

I'm just gonna interrupt for a second.

00:11:38

You don't need a wine cellar, if you want to do wine tastings in your butler's kitchen.

00:11:43

I mean, this really isn't what we discussed.

00:11:45

Well, we didn't discuss any of this, but, uh... yes, uh, I guess, that way, we... we have it.

00:11:51

Well... yeah...

00:11:52

That way, you'll definitely have it.

00:11:54

And then once you have it, that way, you'll have it.

00:11:57

But do we need a gatehouse?

00:11:59

I just put John Beard into a house with a double gatehouse.

00:12:03

Now, that's John Beard; he's on television.

00:12:05

No one's gonna look down on you just 'cause you have less than John Beard.

00:12:08

-Is this crazy? -I think so.

00:12:10

We'll take the double gatehouse.

00:12:12

Oh, is that what you thought? Because...

00:12:13

-Well, that way, we'll have it. -We have it. We have it.

00:12:15

And that way, you have it.

00:12:17

There was a lot of this going on back then.

00:12:18

This way, we have it.

00:12:20

And soon, they were starting their new life

00:12:21

-Good point! -in their new, beautiful home.

00:12:25

LINDSAY: Mother's Day Eve was the most joyous day of the year.

00:12:29

(echoing): Maeby, you're gonna be late for school.

00:12:31

NARRATOR: And what they lost in coziness...

00:12:33

God, they grow up so slowly.

00:12:35

...they made up for in cavernous, unfurnished space.

00:12:38

-And the robot's dead again. -Oh! Poor little guy.

00:12:41

Ran out of juice before he could reach his...

00:12:45

(door slams)

00:12:47

With her mother's trial coming up,

00:12:48

Lindsay made an effort to work on her testimony.

00:12:52

...when I was hungry, I...

00:12:53

-(Lindsay laughs) -Go on.

00:12:55

You don't want me to say this next part, do you?

00:12:58

I think it tells the story.

00:12:59

But am I accidentally being funny, or am I purposely being funny?

00:13:05

It's not supposed to be funny.

00:13:06

"Suckled at her champagne glass breasts"?

00:13:09

Is it a joke?

00:13:10

Buster wrote it.

00:13:11

Recently?

00:13:13

I adapted it from a letter he wrote from camp.

00:13:15

I miss you, Mommy.

00:13:17

Camp is scary at times.

00:13:18

When I was cold, you clothed me, when I was hungry...

00:13:21

Uh, how do I say this?

00:13:24

Suckled at your champagne glass breasts.

00:13:27

Oh, that's good.

00:13:29

It doesn't matter. I'll be proofing it, anyway.

00:13:30

LINDSAY: Oh, God.

00:13:32

This is from Camp Kiss-A-Me-Mommy?

00:13:34

Just read the copy. You're getting paid for this.

00:13:36

No. You know what?

00:13:38

The money is not important to me.

00:13:39

My shaman said...

00:13:40

Oh, don't give me that mystical nonsense.

00:13:43

You think you're better than I am.

00:13:45

But you're a lot more like me than you think you are.

00:13:48

Now, let's take it from:

00:13:51

"I hope she gives me bubble baths forever."

00:13:53

And I want to smell the suds.

00:13:56

But worse news was around the corner.

00:13:58

BEARD: The collapse of the California housing market

00:14:00

is taking a personal toll...

00:14:01

-Uh-oh. -...with layoffs here at the station.

00:14:03

In addition, I'm leaving the keys

00:14:05

to my 10,000-square-foot home in Harbor Shallows

00:14:07

-here on the desk... -TOBIAS: Well, it probably shouldn't affect our area.

00:14:11

He's over by where the fountain is.

00:14:12

BEARD: Might I say to them

00:14:13

good luck getting that (bleep)

00:14:15

raccoon smell out of the gatehouse,

00:14:17

because I never could.

00:14:20

But you and I are okay, right?

00:14:22

I mean, this works, right?

00:14:24

Never better.

00:14:28

And the week of Lucille's trial,

00:14:30

they got some even worse news.

00:14:33

What's this? Mother's not going to pay?

00:14:35

She actually said she'd only pay me if my testimony is believable.

00:14:39

Lindsay! Lindsay!

00:14:40

...but how am I supposed to say something like

00:14:42

"I love you, Mother!" and sound believable?

00:14:45

Well, geez... Jesus C. Penny!

00:14:47

You know, I wish I had the luxury of not sounding believable.

00:14:51

But that's not an option for an out-of-work actor, is it?

00:14:54

Or it's why you're out of work!

00:14:56

Well, I beg one's pardon, but I have been dying to go to that Method Acting Clinic that I see on my nightly drives, but you won't let me!

00:15:04

Because you already wasted all that money on Carl Weathers' Master Acting Class.

00:15:09

Well, I'm sorry, but I'm such a star (bleep) that I didn't pay attention to anything he said!

00:15:15

Oh, well then, maybe I should go to your Method Acting Class, to make my testimony more believable!

00:15:20

That's actually a good idea.

00:15:21

Maybe you could-- Oh! Hi. Yes.

00:15:24

Well, perhaps we should go together.

00:15:26

Yeah. Might be good for us, as a couple.

00:15:30

I do hope so.

00:15:32

I really want to make this work.

00:15:34

Me, too.

00:15:35

I really love you, Tobias.

00:15:38

Oh, Lindsay, we have got to get you to that acting clinic.

00:15:42

And that was with me picturing fudge.

00:15:45

Fudge.

00:15:51

NARRATOR: To bond with her husband

00:15:53

and prepare for her testimony,

00:15:55

Lindsay had decided to attend an acting class with Tobias.

00:15:58

This is the first time

00:16:00

I've actually done something like this with you.

00:16:01

I think I always kind of looked down on it.

00:16:03

You know, Lindsay, I think you'll find that some of what used to seem clueless about me is actually something I'm quite good at.

00:16:10

This... is where I belong.

00:16:13

If you're new here, you need to go to the window.

00:16:15

Uh, fill out this form first.

00:16:16

And there's some personal questions on it, like, uh, how you first got hooked.

00:16:20

Well, that's an easy one:

00:16:21

You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown.

00:16:22

(Tobias chuckles)

00:16:24

No, uh, no, Mame.

00:16:25

No, ma'am...?

00:16:27

You're A Good Man...

00:16:28

You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown.

00:16:29

(whispering): Gypsy. Gypsy.

00:16:31

CLINICIAN: Just come up here and be as truthful as possible.

00:16:34

WOMAN: Okay, this is (bleep) overwhelming.

00:16:37

They're starting the monologues.

00:16:38

I think this is from Songs for My Father.

00:16:41

WOMAN: This (bleep) is (bleep) up, right?

00:16:42

LINDSAY: What did you say the name of this acting class was again?

00:16:44

TOBIAS: Method One Clinic.

00:16:45

Okay, I'm gonna go get coffee.

00:16:47

Garden Grove Method One Clinic.

00:16:50

And moments later, as Lindsay, once again,

00:16:52

found herself questioning her husband's choices,

00:16:56

one of hers was questioned.

00:16:57

MAN: Ugh! That's not Free Trade, and if it's not Free Trade, it's (bleep).

00:17:00

-I wouldn't... -(scoffs)

00:17:02

You don't look like a junkie.

00:17:04

You do. What do you weigh, like, 90 pounds?

00:17:05

(laughs)

00:17:07

That's so funny!

00:17:08

God, um... thank you.

00:17:09

But-but no, no.

00:17:11

If I'm addicted to anything, it's alcohol.

00:17:13

I'm Lindsay.

00:17:14

And you're... hmm! "Bitíme."

00:17:17

No, I don't like giving my name to any state organization, especially after I got kicked off the voter rolls,

00:17:22

'cause I accidentally signed up for the wrong political group.

00:17:24

Wow. What group was that?

00:17:26

You know, I don't even remember.

00:17:28

Just some guy in a booth on the boardwalk.

00:17:30

He joined Al Qaeda.

00:17:32

MAN: And I only signed up 'cause he was giving away a free beard brush.

00:17:35

...that says "Al Qaeda" on it.

00:17:37

But maybe he thought it was the designer of the brush.

00:17:40

I'm Marky Bark.

00:17:41

Of the tree-freer Barks?

00:17:43

Marky was the son of Johnny Bark,

00:17:45

an activist that Lindsay had once helped save,

00:17:48

and then kill, a tree.

00:17:50

LINDSAY: Oh, my God! I remember him!

00:17:51

I remember thinking, one day, he was just gonna fall out of a tree and break his neck.

00:17:55

Whatever happened to him?

00:17:57

He fell out of a tree and broke his neck.

00:17:58

Oh, God...

00:17:59

No, I'm just kidding.

00:18:00

-(laughs) -Oh...

00:18:02

So how is he?

00:18:03

Oh, he's dead.

00:18:04

But natural causes.

00:18:06

A bunch of deranged bees chased him out of a tree and he fell to his death.

00:18:09

So, are you here alone, or...?

00:18:10

No, I'm with her.

00:18:11

She's a committee member.

00:18:14

Which committee is that?

00:18:16

Itty-bitty (bleep).

00:18:17

What a wonderful sense of humor.

00:18:20

Listen, the only time DeBrie can keep food down is for about 20 minutes after she comes crashing off the methadone, so...

00:18:25

-Oh... -would you care to join us as we rustle up some grub to shove down our mouths?

00:18:30

I would like that very much.

00:18:32

So Tobias and Lindsay drove

00:18:34

to meet their new friends for lunch.

00:18:36

They are such a neat couple!

00:18:38

Aren't they neat!

00:18:40

It's so fun to have another couple to go out with.

00:18:42

LINDSAY: He's amazing.

00:18:43

I mean, so passionate about real issues.

00:18:46

He's a real activist-- like me.

00:18:48

And she's a real actress, like me!

00:18:51

Oh, she used to be in big movies, but then, like a lot of actors, the teeth go...

00:18:55

Mm!

00:18:56

But she is the perfect age to be a Hollywood actress-- 42.

00:19:00

Is that all?

00:19:01

Oh, I think this is the place.

00:19:02

It's a barter restaurant.

00:19:05

Marky doesn't believe in money.

00:19:07

Do I like barter?

00:19:08

No, it means they don't deal with money.

00:19:11

That's why I swiped that methadone tray.

00:19:12

Hmm.

00:19:14

What interesting friends we've made.

00:19:16

I think this is exactly what our marriage needed.

00:19:26

NARRATOR: Lindsay and Tobias gathered

00:19:28

with their new friends...

00:19:29

WAITRESS: Hi, y'all! This your first time...?

00:19:30

...at CW Swappigans,

00:19:33

a chain that sprung up after the economic collapse.

00:19:35

We are like a Salvation Army meets a soup kitchen, meets a gastro pub, meets a Marxist- or Leninist-type social structure.

00:19:44

These are things that you can order and these are things that we will accept.

00:19:48

As you see on the bottom, we don't have the fish, and we're not taking any more lava lamps.

00:19:52

Uh-oh! I can see this one's got that deer in the headlights look!

00:19:56

Oh, no. He just took some methadone.

00:19:59

He thought he was driving, with a cocktail tray.

00:20:02

Oh, speaking of that...

00:20:04

How about mozzarella sticks for the table?

00:20:06

Cocktail tray, light scratching, for mozzarella sticks.

00:20:09

Six, no sauce.

00:20:12

And maybe some sparkling water for the table.

00:20:15

Oh, I'm sorry, sir. We're no longer taking hotel soaps.

00:20:17

LINDSAY: This is fun.

00:20:19

MARKY: A lot of people couldn't handle a Dumpster dive for their first double date.

00:20:22

Is that what this is?

00:20:27

Now, wait... wait a second.

00:20:28

I wasn't driving?

00:20:31

It's just so refreshing to meet people with real passion about changing the status quo.

00:20:36

Lindsay and I don't have a single friend.

00:20:40

Is the food here yet?

00:20:42

I'm not hungry, but... but, uh...

00:20:44

-Oh, look, it's butter. -MARKY: DeBrie.

00:20:47

(whooping)

00:20:49

MARKY: DeBrie, that's our butter.

00:20:51

We were going to swap it for dessert.

00:20:53

No, she's improvising. Uh, yes, ma'am.

00:20:55

You seem to be liking that butter substitute at Swappigans.

00:20:58

Uh, yes, and... wh-what else could you swap for?

00:21:02

Uh, yes, and... uh...

00:21:05

Oh, I'm out. She's too good.

00:21:06

I... I don't know who my guy is.

00:21:08

I don't... I don't have a guy.

00:21:09

MARKY: No, she just likes butter.

00:21:10

Come on, let's get you cleaned up.

00:21:12

-Don't touch anything. -Marky, I'll take her.

00:21:13

You two just got here.

00:21:15

Have a chat about. I'll clean her up.

00:21:17

-TOBIAS: Come on, DeBrie. -DeBRIE: Num, num, num, num.

00:21:18

-I'm sorry. -Don't be.

00:21:20

I-I love it here.

00:21:21

My mother would hate this place.

00:21:23

You know, Lindsay, I-I have to tell you, when I first met you, I thought you were one of those typical, uptight, snobby, Newport Beach, vapid... nut-busters!

00:21:36

You know, one of those monsters that lives in a 10,000-square-foot house that they destroyed the wetlands for.

00:21:40

Those were wetlands?

00:21:42

(sighs) That explains our Thanksgiving miracle.

00:21:44

What do you mean, you didn't make dinner?

00:21:46

I didn't realize it was Thursday, okay?

00:21:48

There's got to be something here.

00:21:49

(gasps, screams)

00:21:51

TOBIAS: Oh! Oh!

00:21:52

Oh! Get it! Get it!

00:21:54

Chase it into the oven!

00:21:56

Come on. Come on. Here, little ducky.

00:21:58

-That's a good duck. -Good duck.

00:22:00

-In you go! -(loud quacking)

00:22:02

This is going to be the greatest Thanksgiving ever.

00:22:05

It's a miracle!

00:22:08

Well, I actually do live in a fairly large house right now.

00:22:11

But we've never made a payment on it.

00:22:13

So you're sticking it to Big Banking.

00:22:15

-That's cool. -Yes.

00:22:17

In fact, I'm only in America because a shaman told me that love would come to me when I accepted who I am

00:22:23

-and didn't run away. -Sounds like a good shaman.

00:22:24

Oh, he was the house shaman at the Four Seasons Mumbai, so you figure he's got to be pretty good.

00:22:30

Oh, and he turned into an ostrich at the end, so...

00:22:33

They're not going to have that at the Embassy Suites.

00:22:35

That's funny. I actually run an ostrich farm.

00:22:39

(Indian music playing): ♪ Co... incidence! ♪

00:22:43

That's not a coincidence.

00:22:45

♪ Yes, it is. ♪

00:22:47

MAN: Mini pizzas, no pepperoni!

00:22:50

Marky, I've got to tell you, talking about these social issues, it's... the first time I've felt like myself in a really long time.

00:22:57

That's because I say what I mean, I do what I feel.

00:23:00

No lies.

00:23:01

NARRATOR: Lindsay felt guilty

00:23:03

because she was about to go enter

00:23:05

a crab house/courtroom and do just that.

00:23:07

That's why my motto is:

00:23:08

"Live truthfully and skate through life."

00:23:11

Marky felt guilty because it wasn't his motto.

00:23:14

It was the motto of a surf and skateboard company.

00:23:17

Live truthfully.

00:23:18

Skate through life.

00:23:21

That's amazing.

00:23:22

I haven't felt this deep a connection with someone in a long, long time.

00:23:31

Other than DeBrie.

00:23:33

I can't believe we just did that.

00:23:34

I can't believe how little give your teeth have.

00:23:36

So, where do you keep your ostriches?

00:23:39

WAITRESS: Sheraton mini soap for a taco salad?

00:23:40

MAN: We don't take hotel soap!

00:23:42

And perhaps it was to get back at her mother...

00:23:44

-Leave a tip! Leave a tip! -...or to get out of

00:23:46

a relationship that had been over for a long time,

00:23:49

but that's when Lindsay hopped off

00:23:51

to pursue a life she felt was her destiny.

00:23:54

And the new lovers discovered each other.

00:23:56

The beautiful female body,

00:23:59

the horrible male.

00:24:07

Wow. That was so...

00:24:09

-fast. -Thanks.

00:24:11

Well, I didn't know how long we'd be stuck in traffic, so...

00:24:14

-(horn honking) -Oh! And it sounds

00:24:15

-like it's moving, so... -MAN: Move it!

00:24:17

-(horn honking) -Come on! Come on!

00:24:18

-Let's go! -Careful!

00:24:21

And as they drove, they learned so much about each other.

00:24:24

MARKY: I was always just in such a rush to grow up and change this world, and foolishly, the teeth I pulled were my adult teeth, so this guy all the way to that guy back there, that's a... just a piece of wood I stick in there.

00:24:36

I mean, they're just chewing tools.

00:24:38

(laughs) I don't care about looks.

00:24:39

But you find me pretty, though, right?

00:24:42

No.

00:24:43

I have no idea what you look like.

00:24:45

I have this condition called face blindness.

00:24:46

I mean, I can tell you're a woman.

00:24:49

(chuckling): Oh, stop.

00:24:50

But, honestly, no, all I see is, like, eyes and nose, you know, hair, ears and...

00:24:56

But I can tell you got a great heart, Lindsay.

00:24:58

I can tell you've been living a lie.

00:25:00

You and I are going to change this world together.

00:25:03

(Marky whoops, Lindsay laughs)

00:25:04

LINDSAY: You know, my shaman told me that I should stop caring about appearances.

00:25:08

You know, my whole life, that's all anyone has ever praised.

00:25:12

All my mom ever cared about.

00:25:14

Because I'm really pretty.

00:25:16

I just thought I'd tell you that so the story made sense.

00:25:20

-I don't care. -But I guess it's kind of karma that I ended up with someone who wanted to make love to me no matter what I look like.

00:25:27

Also wanted to make sure you weren't a dude.

00:25:29

I can tell with voices usually, but some guys, they'll... they'll fool you if that's what they want to do.

00:25:36

Hey...

00:25:38

Are you smiling at me?

00:25:41

NARRATOR: Lindsay decided it was only fair

00:25:43

to let her husband know

00:25:45

their new start had reached a new end.

00:25:47

LINDSAY: I left.

00:25:49

I guess you noticed.

00:25:50

Um, look, I'm sorry.

00:25:52

I-I really do care about you, Tobias, but we were trying to save something that just couldn't be saved.

00:25:58

And I have to follow my shaman's advice. I...

00:26:01

I have to be true to myself for once.

00:26:06

And Marky, he sees me for who I really am.

00:26:10

-He respects me and... -Come on, lady!

00:26:12

You want to wrap this up?

00:26:13

My lady needs to call her loser ex.

00:26:16

Marky, it's me.

00:26:18

It's Lindsay.

00:26:19

Oh.

00:26:21

I thought you were taking a dump.

00:26:22

Oh, I must have scared the (bleep) off that lady in the bathroom when I threw the door open and told her I loved her.

00:26:28

(sighs, chuckles)

00:26:31

He loves me?

00:26:32

MARKY: Sorry. False alarm.

00:26:34

-I don't love you. -LINDSAY: Uh, I got to go.

00:26:35

Can you delete this so I can leave

00:26:37

-a message for Maeby? -MARKY: It's good. She's fine.

00:26:38

NARRATOR: And soon, the lovers arrived

00:26:40

and discovered the joys of their new desert home,

00:26:43

dancing and making love all night.

00:26:46

Now, that time... was also very quick.

00:26:51

And now we've freed the night up to dance again.

00:26:55

-Come on. -Oh. Okay.

00:26:56

NARRATOR: And the next day,

00:26:58

Lindsay awoke to discover the destiny

00:27:00

foretold to her in India in drab colors before her.

00:27:04

WOMAN: Get away from her.

00:27:05

Don't mess with her!

00:27:07

She's none of your business.

00:27:08

(sighs) Thank you.

00:27:10

I said get away from her, you slut!

00:27:12

You're scaring the bird.

00:27:13

MARKY: No, no, Mom.

00:27:14

Mom, she's with us.

00:27:16

She lives with us now.

00:27:18

And, Mom, she tells me she's pretty.

00:27:21

I have the worst (bleep) shaman.

00:27:32

The defense calls to the oyster bar thing where they sit the adopted daughter, Lindsay Bluth.

00:27:37

NARRATOR: Another chair is empty

00:27:40

-at Lucille's trial. -BARRY: Lindsay...

00:27:41

Mr. Zuckerkorn,

00:27:43

Shrimp-Shooter Nights starts in 15 minutes.

00:27:46

Is your witness going to appear?

00:27:48

BARRY (gasps): "Appear."

00:27:50

Oh, I thought the one on the pier was a Bubba Gump's.

00:27:55

NARRATOR: And, in an effort to be less glamorous,

00:27:57

Lindsay cuts her hair only to discover,

00:28:00

-much to her frustration... -Great. Even cuter.

00:28:03

And Tobias becomes addicted

00:28:05

-to his new profession. -I'm an addict, and I'm starving.

00:28:08

Yes, you are starving, so would you like some butter?

00:28:10

I could give you some butter, and, uh, you can pay for it w-with a shoe.

00:28:14

Um... I'm sorry, but, uh, his guy's not giving my guy anything, uh, to react to.

00:28:19

Uh, could I get some more of that, uh, acting juice?
