Indian Takers
00:00:13NARRATOR: On the top of a hillside
00:00:16deep in the mountains of Shuturmurg, India,
00:00:19sits a mystical retreat long sought out
00:00:21-by those seeking answers... -Is this real?
00:00:24to the questions that define us.
00:00:25I mean, is any of this real?
00:00:27How do I know what's real?
00:00:29NARRATOR: This is Lindsay Bluth-Funke.
00:00:32You see me before you, yes?
00:00:34I am real to you.
00:00:36And this bag next to me, it is as real as you or me.
00:00:40No, I know that one's real.
00:00:42I meant the other one-- the Louis Vuitton.
00:00:43I don't remember Vuitton having two E's.
00:00:45NARRATOR: The hillside was also known
00:00:47-for their bargains on designer handbags. -Oh, no!
00:00:49That's how they do it here.
00:00:51You can't go wrong. Best bag on the mountain.
00:00:53I 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.
00:00:59NARRATOR: 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)
00:01:09NARRATOR: Now the story of a family
00:01:10whose future was abruptly canceled
00:01:13and the one daughter who had no choice
00:01:15but to keep her life together.
00:01:21It's Lindsay's...
00:01:26-LINDSAY: I love it. -NARRATOR: Lindsay was on
00:01:27a spiritual journey to let go
00:01:29of all possessions and to find something cute
00:01:32-to keep her stuff in. -It's gorgeous.
00:01:33Months earlier, Lindsay had lost her bearings
00:01:36after finding out she wasn't born
00:01:39to the family she couldn't bear.
00:01:40-I'm adopted? -So, after getting
00:01:43briefly creepy with her brother...
00:01:45I'm just not that into older women.
00:01:47-Don't worry about it. -You bastard!
00:01:48She shared some resentments
00:01:49with her family at the boat party.
00:01:51Kitty likes to scratch... (yells)
00:01:53But 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...
00:01:58Oh, 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.
00:02:05LUCILLE: They are persecuting me.
00:02:07It was an accident. This is ridiculous!
00:02:10If I'd told them we were taking a bunch of gays out there to get married, they'd have thrown me a parade.
00:02:14Let's tell them we were taking a bunch of gays to get married.
00:02:18Yeah, I don't think your record on that issue is going to back that up, Mom.
00:02:21NARRATOR: In fact, it was an issue
00:02:23of the Bay Window magazine
00:02:24that would most damage her with the gay community.
00:02:26LUCILLE: Fine. We'll say they took it on a joyride.
00:02:29And you have no right to criticize me.
00:02:31At least I was able to turn my Queen around.
00:02:33None taken.
00:02:35NARRATOR: This is Tobias Funke,
00:02:36who should have taken more.
00:02:38-Oh. -LINDSAY: You cannot say one nice thing to your daughter, can you?
00:02:42Adopted daughter.
00:02:44And that's not true.
00:02:46MAN: Could I have the Bluth family over here, please?
00:02:49And over here, the victims of the Bluth family?
00:02:51NARRATOR: And that's when Lindsay
00:02:54found a label more fitting than "Bluth."
00:02:56No, Lindsay, you're going to the wrong area.
00:02:59Kenny, Chet, Curtis, Mike, Bix and Gator are over here.
00:03:01We 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.
00:03:12Sorry. I was thinking of Mike, the hot seaman.
00:03:15-No, where is Michael? -It doesn't matter.
00:03:17He's not my brother.
00:03:18This isn't my family.
00:03:19No, I've spent years...
00:03:22Yes! Got my yes. I got that big yes.
00:03:24I've spent years trying to fit into this family, and it's not me.
00:03:29My life is a fallacy.
00:03:31Oh...
00:03:33♪ Is that a gal I see? ♪
00:03:34♪ No, it's just a phallus... eee! ♪
00:03:38We loved that. Where's that from?
00:03:41NARRATOR: It's from nothing.
00:03:42But it made her realize this, too.
00:03:45I don't know if there's a right time to say this, but this marriage of ours, it hasn't been working.
00:03:51Yeah... there's nothing keeping us together.
00:03:55(Maeby coughing nearby)
00:03:56I... I believe we're thinking the same thing.
00:04:00-Yeah, we should end it. -Let's give it another shot.
00:04:03To the head. Kill it.
00:04:04Yes.
00:04:09NARRATOR: Lindsay was looking for inspiration
00:04:12before she set out on her new path.
00:04:15And it only took until the "Pray" section
00:04:17of Eat, Pray, Love for her to find it.
00:04:21Hmm.
00:04:22Soon, she was beginning a journey to reinvent herself.
00:04:26Ugh. I'm doing it again.
00:04:28I have to let go of these material things.
00:04:31NARRATOR: To leave the trappings of her old life
00:04:33and try to live with less.
00:04:36(sighs) There.
00:04:38Her immersion into Indian culture began
00:04:40even before reaching the airport.
00:04:41And, uh... and so this daily prayer, it connects one to the whole.
00:04:45Yes, the whole of humanity, yes.
00:04:46-(horn honking) -Look at this guy, huh?!
00:04:48Stay in your lane, anus tart.
00:04:49-(bleep) anus tart. -God.
00:04:51You know, you sense the oneness in all.
00:04:54And they have normal toilets, right?
00:04:57NARRATOR: And after an hour or so
00:04:58with SkyMall, where she was
00:05:00proud of herself for only buying two things--
00:05:03a self-cleaning litter box in case she ever got a cat
00:05:07and an inflatable hat box in case she ever got a hat--
00:05:11she got to a great article in the in-flight magazine
00:05:14and found herself filling up
00:05:16with inner peace and acceptance.
00:05:18-(thumping) -I mean, not right away.
00:05:20What is she doing back there?
00:05:22-(passenger groaning) -That passenger had been
00:05:24pushing on her seat for like four hours.
00:05:26Lindsay's journey to let go of her baggage
00:05:30got off to a bad start at baggage claim
00:05:33when she picked up the wrong baggage.
00:05:35And her Western notions of the value of life
00:05:38were challenged on the bus ride to the hotel.
00:05:40(man screams, loud thud)
00:05:41LINDSAY: Oh, my God.
00:05:42Did... did we just hit something?
00:05:45Shouldn't we stop?
00:05:46No. It wasn't a cow.
00:05:48-It was just a tourist. -(laughter)
00:05:52NARRATOR: And that's how Lindsay's path
00:05:53-to living with less... -Wait. This isn't my...
00:05:56How 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.
00:06:05But I thought it was supposed to say "Kate."
00:06:08Oh, no, anything under a small is considered a "David Spade."
00:06:12I love this jacket. I'll give you 60 for it.
00:06:14Best 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.
00:06:21NARRATOR: And soon, she was back
00:06:23at the hotel and ready
00:06:24-for her spiritual experience. -(sighs)
00:06:28(bell dings)
00:06:29Yeah, hi.
00:06:30Uh, were you able to book my 3:00 shaman?
00:06:32Oh, yes. Did you want the deep wisdom or just a light ego cleanse?
00:06:35We 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.
00:06:42Well, yeah, by the pool, then.
00:06:44And, uh, do you think you can get someone to remove the smell of lamb from my room?
00:06:49Of course. And which animal smell would you prefer?
00:06:51Which do you prefer?
00:06:53NARRATOR: But at her 3:00 p.m. shaman...
00:06:55You 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?
00:07:01You know, to love?
00:07:03When love is near your heart, you'll be happy.
00:07:06You must live life truthfully.
00:07:09Yeah, no, I-I-I do live truthfully, but, uh... (sighs)
00:07:14I'm just so full of passion.
00:07:17You are so full of (bleep).
00:07:19Yeah, yeah.
00:07:20Although, in my culture, "full of (bleep)" is kind of like a dig.
00:07:24I mean, you'd never say it to a customer.
00:07:26But, uh, yeah, no, I-I know what you mean.
00:07:28This bag is as fake as you are.
00:07:31(sighs) Well, how do I learn?
00:07:33Just look at the spelling.
00:07:34God. No, I...
00:07:36Pull your head out of the sand.
00:07:38Love is where you left it.
00:07:40You mean... back home?
00:07:43God.
00:07:44The only person back home is Tobias.
00:07:46You have no children?
00:07:48NARRATOR: Lindsay thought she was being hit on.
00:07:51No. Why do you ask?
00:07:53Wait a minute. You're saying I've come halfway around the world to find out
00:07:58I need to go back home?
00:07:59God, I haven't even gone to the beach yet.
00:08:02NARRATOR: She had. It was just too crowded to see the water.
00:08:06It was a moving experience,
00:08:08but after leaving the tent, it wasn't just
00:08:11the shaman's words that got through to her.
00:08:13It was this.
00:08:14I'm sorry. Your AmEx was declined.
00:08:16Your account is maxed out.
00:08:18We had to cancel your shaman appointment.
00:08:20No, no, I just talked to the shaman, just right back at...
00:08:25MAN: Get out! Get out!
00:08:27Go away! Get out! Get out! Get out!
00:08:29I'm sorry to yell at you, but as I said, it was declined.
00:08:34So get out.
00:08:36NARRATOR: But, fortunately, the universe
00:08:38offered a solution to her financial problem
00:08:40that wasn't too far off from what her shaman had said.
00:08:43LUCILLE (over phone): Oh, I've got money for you, sweetie,
00:08:46but it means my loving daughter smiling next to her husband
00:08:48sitting behind me at the trial.
00:08:50LINDSAY: Would you take a grimace?
00:08:53NARRATOR: So it was with this dual intention
00:08:55that she reached out to a husband she'd left behind,
00:08:59with a new sense of inner peace.
00:09:01Of course, there was still some outer stuff
00:09:03she needed to work through.
00:09:04(over phone): Hello. It's Tobias.
00:09:05-Leave a message. -(beep)
00:09:07I'm ready to make this work.
00:09:11NARRATOR: It was with a sense of enlightenment that Lindsay
00:09:13returned from her spiritual journey...
00:09:15...to get her hands on the stimulus money, too, right?
00:09:18Stop with the prayer hands.
00:09:19It just looks like you're out of ideas.
00:09:21Seriously, shoot me if you ever catch me doing that.
00:09:23Says the least spiritual man I know.
00:09:25MICHAEL: What deal did you strike with her?
00:09:27What part of her soul did you buy?
00:09:30All I've asked is that she testify that I was a wonderful mother who did her best.
00:09:34So all of it.
00:09:35No, Michael. I'm not a whore.
00:09:38I don't get any of the money until after I do the disgusting thing.
00:09:40But I'm not here just for the stimmy.
00:09:43I'm here because a shaman told me that love is where I left it.
00:09:46Which, after much soul searching and by process of elimination, is Tobias.
00:09:52TOBIAS: I got the part.
00:09:56NARRATOR: And so Lindsay and Tobias
00:09:57took another shot at being husband and wife,
00:10:00and although they wouldn't have money
00:10:02until after the perjury, they set about
00:10:04-buying a home. -Are you ready to make a move?
00:10:06As you can see, I'm ready for a lot that's new.
00:10:10Oh! Good heavens!
00:10:12Right!
00:10:14Well, this is a great area.
00:10:15There's some wonderful surgi-centers nearby.
00:10:17We're doing it. We're really doing this.
00:10:19Yes! We're gonna get you in the right house.
00:10:21And it's just the two of you? You have no children?
00:10:24We don't.
00:10:25TOBIAS: We should be honest here.
00:10:27We have no income flow.
00:10:29No incoming income flow.
00:10:30We have plenty of outgoing income.
00:10:32No savings, no credit.
00:10:34I mean, we had some stimmy, but that went to his hospital bills.
00:10:38But there's one thing we do have--
00:10:40Work ethic!
00:10:41Right. No work ethic.
00:10:42But there's one thing we do have-- we do have a daughter.
00:10:45I was just on auto-pilot before, when I said we didn't.
00:10:48I should have caught that; yeah, but...
00:10:49MAEBY: I could've spoken up, but I just wanted to see if you guys got there.
00:10:53Well, you guys seem like a great family.
00:10:55We have to be realistic.
00:10:56I'm in the real estate business.
00:10:58It's 2006.
00:11:00That's all good enough for me.
00:11:02We're gonna put you in a NINJA loan.
00:11:03"No income, no jobs, no assets."
00:11:05And you don't have to pay a penny for two years.
00:11:07Oh, NINJA! Please!
00:11:09So we'll take something cozy and intimate.
00:11:10-A one-bedroom. -Or bigger.
00:11:13Yeah, how about something nice? A three-bedroom?
00:11:14LINDSAY: Three does sound bigger.
00:11:15Oh, it definitely is.
00:11:17NARRATOR: You have to remember that this was a time
00:11:19when banks were eager to create as much debt as possible.
00:11:21...the five-bedroom, four-car garage.
00:11:23And I know that you guys are going to be okay with just one master bathroom, because a lot of people do prefer two.
00:11:30You know, they like to just have it.
00:11:32Maybe separate, so we have it.
00:11:33So we have it. That way we have it.
00:11:35That way you have it.
00:11:36Do you think we really need one?
00:11:37I'm just gonna interrupt for a second.
00:11:38You don't need a wine cellar, if you want to do wine tastings in your butler's kitchen.
00:11:43I mean, this really isn't what we discussed.
00:11:45Well, we didn't discuss any of this, but, uh... yes, uh, I guess, that way, we... we have it.
00:11:51Well... yeah...
00:11:52That way, you'll definitely have it.
00:11:54And then once you have it, that way, you'll have it.
00:11:57But do we need a gatehouse?
00:11:59I just put John Beard into a house with a double gatehouse.
00:12:03Now, that's John Beard; he's on television.
00:12:05No one's gonna look down on you just 'cause you have less than John Beard.
00:12:08-Is this crazy? -I think so.
00:12:10We'll take the double gatehouse.
00:12:12Oh, is that what you thought? Because...
00:12:13-Well, that way, we'll have it. -We have it. We have it.
00:12:15And that way, you have it.
00:12:17There was a lot of this going on back then.
00:12:18This way, we have it.
00:12:20And soon, they were starting their new life
00:12:21-Good point! -in their new, beautiful home.
00:12:25LINDSAY: Mother's Day Eve was the most joyous day of the year.
00:12:29(echoing): Maeby, you're gonna be late for school.
00:12:31NARRATOR: And what they lost in coziness...
00:12:33God, 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.
00:12:41Ran out of juice before he could reach his...
00:12:45(door slams)
00:12:47With her mother's trial coming up,
00:12:48Lindsay made an effort to work on her testimony.
00:12:52...when I was hungry, I...
00:12:53-(Lindsay laughs) -Go on.
00:12:55You don't want me to say this next part, do you?
00:12:58I think it tells the story.
00:12:59But am I accidentally being funny, or am I purposely being funny?
00:13:05It's not supposed to be funny.
00:13:06"Suckled at her champagne glass breasts"?
00:13:09Is it a joke?
00:13:10Buster wrote it.
00:13:11Recently?
00:13:13I adapted it from a letter he wrote from camp.
00:13:15I miss you, Mommy.
00:13:17Camp is scary at times.
00:13:18When I was cold, you clothed me, when I was hungry...
00:13:21Uh, how do I say this?
00:13:24Suckled at your champagne glass breasts.
00:13:27Oh, that's good.
00:13:29It doesn't matter. I'll be proofing it, anyway.
00:13:30LINDSAY: Oh, God.
00:13:32This is from Camp Kiss-A-Me-Mommy?
00:13:34Just read the copy. You're getting paid for this.
00:13:36No. You know what?
00:13:38The money is not important to me.
00:13:39My shaman said...
00:13:40Oh, don't give me that mystical nonsense.
00:13:43You think you're better than I am.
00:13:45But you're a lot more like me than you think you are.
00:13:48Now, let's take it from:
00:13:51"I hope she gives me bubble baths forever."
00:13:53And I want to smell the suds.
00:13:56But worse news was around the corner.
00:13:58BEARD: The collapse of the California housing market
00:14:00is taking a personal toll...
00:14:01-Uh-oh. -...with layoffs here at the station.
00:14:03In addition, I'm leaving the keys
00:14:05to 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.
00:14:11He's over by where the fountain is.
00:14:12BEARD: Might I say to them
00:14:13good luck getting that (bleep)
00:14:15raccoon smell out of the gatehouse,
00:14:17because I never could.
00:14:20But you and I are okay, right?
00:14:22I mean, this works, right?
00:14:24Never better.
00:14:28And the week of Lucille's trial,
00:14:30they got some even worse news.
00:14:33What's this? Mother's not going to pay?
00:14:35She actually said she'd only pay me if my testimony is believable.
00:14:39Lindsay! Lindsay!
00:14:40...but how am I supposed to say something like
00:14:42"I love you, Mother!" and sound believable?
00:14:45Well, geez... Jesus C. Penny!
00:14:47You know, I wish I had the luxury of not sounding believable.
00:14:51But that's not an option for an out-of-work actor, is it?
00:14:54Or it's why you're out of work!
00:14:56Well, 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!
00:15:04Because you already wasted all that money on Carl Weathers' Master Acting Class.
00:15:09Well, I'm sorry, but I'm such a star (bleep) that I didn't pay attention to anything he said!
00:15:15Oh, well then, maybe I should go to your Method Acting Class, to make my testimony more believable!
00:15:20That's actually a good idea.
00:15:21Maybe you could-- Oh! Hi. Yes.
00:15:24Well, perhaps we should go together.
00:15:26Yeah. Might be good for us, as a couple.
00:15:30I do hope so.
00:15:32I really want to make this work.
00:15:34Me, too.
00:15:35I really love you, Tobias.
00:15:38Oh, Lindsay, we have got to get you to that acting clinic.
00:15:42And that was with me picturing fudge.
00:15:45Fudge.
00:15:51NARRATOR: To bond with her husband
00:15:53and prepare for her testimony,
00:15:55Lindsay had decided to attend an acting class with Tobias.
00:15:58This is the first time
00:16:00I've actually done something like this with you.
00:16:01I think I always kind of looked down on it.
00:16:03You 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.
00:16:10This... is where I belong.
00:16:13If you're new here, you need to go to the window.
00:16:15Uh, fill out this form first.
00:16:16And there's some personal questions on it, like, uh, how you first got hooked.
00:16:20Well, that's an easy one:
00:16:21You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown.
00:16:22(Tobias chuckles)
00:16:24No, uh, no, Mame.
00:16:25No, ma'am...?
00:16:27You're A Good Man...
00:16:28You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown.
00:16:29(whispering): Gypsy. Gypsy.
00:16:31CLINICIAN: Just come up here and be as truthful as possible.
00:16:34WOMAN: Okay, this is (bleep) overwhelming.
00:16:37They're starting the monologues.
00:16:38I think this is from Songs for My Father.
00:16:41WOMAN: This (bleep) is (bleep) up, right?
00:16:42LINDSAY: What did you say the name of this acting class was again?
00:16:44TOBIAS: Method One Clinic.
00:16:45Okay, I'm gonna go get coffee.
00:16:47Garden Grove Method One Clinic.
00:16:50And moments later, as Lindsay, once again,
00:16:52found herself questioning her husband's choices,
00:16:56one of hers was questioned.
00:16:57MAN: Ugh! That's not Free Trade, and if it's not Free Trade, it's (bleep).
00:17:00-I wouldn't... -(scoffs)
00:17:02You don't look like a junkie.
00:17:04You do. What do you weigh, like, 90 pounds?
00:17:05(laughs)
00:17:07That's so funny!
00:17:08God, um... thank you.
00:17:09But-but no, no.
00:17:11If I'm addicted to anything, it's alcohol.
00:17:13I'm Lindsay.
00:17:14And you're... hmm! "Bitíme."
00:17:17No, 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.
00:17:24Wow. What group was that?
00:17:26You know, I don't even remember.
00:17:28Just some guy in a booth on the boardwalk.
00:17:30He joined Al Qaeda.
00:17:32MAN: And I only signed up 'cause he was giving away a free beard brush.
00:17:35...that says "Al Qaeda" on it.
00:17:37But maybe he thought it was the designer of the brush.
00:17:40I'm Marky Bark.
00:17:41Of the tree-freer Barks?
00:17:43Marky was the son of Johnny Bark,
00:17:45an activist that Lindsay had once helped save,
00:17:48and then kill, a tree.
00:17:50LINDSAY: Oh, my God! I remember him!
00:17:51I remember thinking, one day, he was just gonna fall out of a tree and break his neck.
00:17:55Whatever happened to him?
00:17:57He fell out of a tree and broke his neck.
00:17:58Oh, God...
00:17:59No, I'm just kidding.
00:18:00-(laughs) -Oh...
00:18:02So how is he?
00:18:03Oh, he's dead.
00:18:04But natural causes.
00:18:06A bunch of deranged bees chased him out of a tree and he fell to his death.
00:18:09So, are you here alone, or...?
00:18:10No, I'm with her.
00:18:11She's a committee member.
00:18:14Which committee is that?
00:18:16Itty-bitty (bleep).
00:18:17What a wonderful sense of humor.
00:18:20Listen, 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?
00:18:30I would like that very much.
00:18:32So Tobias and Lindsay drove
00:18:34to meet their new friends for lunch.
00:18:36They are such a neat couple!
00:18:38Aren't they neat!
00:18:40It's so fun to have another couple to go out with.
00:18:42LINDSAY: He's amazing.
00:18:43I mean, so passionate about real issues.
00:18:46He's a real activist-- like me.
00:18:48And she's a real actress, like me!
00:18:51Oh, she used to be in big movies, but then, like a lot of actors, the teeth go...
00:18:55Mm!
00:18:56But she is the perfect age to be a Hollywood actress-- 42.
00:19:00Is that all?
00:19:01Oh, I think this is the place.
00:19:02It's a barter restaurant.
00:19:05Marky doesn't believe in money.
00:19:07Do I like barter?
00:19:08No, it means they don't deal with money.
00:19:11That's why I swiped that methadone tray.
00:19:12Hmm.
00:19:14What interesting friends we've made.
00:19:16I think this is exactly what our marriage needed.
00:19:26NARRATOR: Lindsay and Tobias gathered
00:19:28with their new friends...
00:19:29WAITRESS: Hi, y'all! This your first time...?
00:19:30...at CW Swappigans,
00:19:33a chain that sprung up after the economic collapse.
00:19:35We are like a Salvation Army meets a soup kitchen, meets a gastro pub, meets a Marxist- or Leninist-type social structure.
00:19:44These are things that you can order and these are things that we will accept.
00:19:48As you see on the bottom, we don't have the fish, and we're not taking any more lava lamps.
00:19:52Uh-oh! I can see this one's got that deer in the headlights look!
00:19:56Oh, no. He just took some methadone.
00:19:59He thought he was driving, with a cocktail tray.
00:20:02Oh, speaking of that...
00:20:04How about mozzarella sticks for the table?
00:20:06Cocktail tray, light scratching, for mozzarella sticks.
00:20:09Six, no sauce.
00:20:12And maybe some sparkling water for the table.
00:20:15Oh, I'm sorry, sir. We're no longer taking hotel soaps.
00:20:17LINDSAY: This is fun.
00:20:19MARKY: A lot of people couldn't handle a Dumpster dive for their first double date.
00:20:22Is that what this is?
00:20:27Now, wait... wait a second.
00:20:28I wasn't driving?
00:20:31It's just so refreshing to meet people with real passion about changing the status quo.
00:20:36Lindsay and I don't have a single friend.
00:20:40Is the food here yet?
00:20:42I'm not hungry, but... but, uh...
00:20:44-Oh, look, it's butter. -MARKY: DeBrie.
00:20:47(whooping)
00:20:49MARKY: DeBrie, that's our butter.
00:20:51We were going to swap it for dessert.
00:20:53No, she's improvising. Uh, yes, ma'am.
00:20:55You seem to be liking that butter substitute at Swappigans.
00:20:58Uh, yes, and... wh-what else could you swap for?
00:21:02Uh, yes, and... uh...
00:21:05Oh, I'm out. She's too good.
00:21:06I... I don't know who my guy is.
00:21:08I don't... I don't have a guy.
00:21:09MARKY: No, she just likes butter.
00:21:10Come on, let's get you cleaned up.
00:21:12-Don't touch anything. -Marky, I'll take her.
00:21:13You two just got here.
00:21:15Have 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.
00:21:20I-I love it here.
00:21:21My mother would hate this place.
00:21:23You 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!
00:21:36You know, one of those monsters that lives in a 10,000-square-foot house that they destroyed the wetlands for.
00:21:40Those were wetlands?
00:21:42(sighs) That explains our Thanksgiving miracle.
00:21:44What do you mean, you didn't make dinner?
00:21:46I didn't realize it was Thursday, okay?
00:21:48There's got to be something here.
00:21:49(gasps, screams)
00:21:51TOBIAS: Oh! Oh!
00:21:52Oh! Get it! Get it!
00:21:54Chase it into the oven!
00:21:56Come on. Come on. Here, little ducky.
00:21:58-That's a good duck. -Good duck.
00:22:00-In you go! -(loud quacking)
00:22:02This is going to be the greatest Thanksgiving ever.
00:22:05It's a miracle!
00:22:08Well, I actually do live in a fairly large house right now.
00:22:11But we've never made a payment on it.
00:22:13So you're sticking it to Big Banking.
00:22:15-That's cool. -Yes.
00:22:17In 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.
00:22:24Oh, he was the house shaman at the Four Seasons Mumbai, so you figure he's got to be pretty good.
00:22:30Oh, and he turned into an ostrich at the end, so...
00:22:33They're not going to have that at the Embassy Suites.
00:22:35That's funny. I actually run an ostrich farm.
00:22:39(Indian music playing): ♪ Co... incidence! ♪
00:22:43That's not a coincidence.
00:22:45♪ Yes, it is. ♪
00:22:47MAN: Mini pizzas, no pepperoni!
00:22:50Marky, 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.
00:22:57That's because I say what I mean, I do what I feel.
00:23:00No lies.
00:23:01NARRATOR: Lindsay felt guilty
00:23:03because she was about to go enter
00:23:05a crab house/courtroom and do just that.
00:23:07That's why my motto is:
00:23:08"Live truthfully and skate through life."
00:23:11Marky felt guilty because it wasn't his motto.
00:23:14It was the motto of a surf and skateboard company.
00:23:17Live truthfully.
00:23:18Skate through life.
00:23:21That's amazing.
00:23:22I haven't felt this deep a connection with someone in a long, long time.
00:23:31Other than DeBrie.
00:23:33I can't believe we just did that.
00:23:34I can't believe how little give your teeth have.
00:23:36So, where do you keep your ostriches?
00:23:39WAITRESS: Sheraton mini soap for a taco salad?
00:23:40MAN: We don't take hotel soap!
00:23:42And perhaps it was to get back at her mother...
00:23:44-Leave a tip! Leave a tip! -...or to get out of
00:23:46a relationship that had been over for a long time,
00:23:49but that's when Lindsay hopped off
00:23:51to pursue a life she felt was her destiny.
00:23:54And the new lovers discovered each other.
00:23:56The beautiful female body,
00:23:59the horrible male.
00:24:07Wow. That was so...
00:24:09-fast. -Thanks.
00:24:11Well, 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!
00:24:21And as they drove, they learned so much about each other.
00:24:24MARKY: 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.
00:24:36I mean, they're just chewing tools.
00:24:38(laughs) I don't care about looks.
00:24:39But you find me pretty, though, right?
00:24:42No.
00:24:43I have no idea what you look like.
00:24:45I have this condition called face blindness.
00:24:46I mean, I can tell you're a woman.
00:24:49(chuckling): Oh, stop.
00:24:50But, honestly, no, all I see is, like, eyes and nose, you know, hair, ears and...
00:24:56But I can tell you got a great heart, Lindsay.
00:24:58I can tell you've been living a lie.
00:25:00You and I are going to change this world together.
00:25:03(Marky whoops, Lindsay laughs)
00:25:04LINDSAY: You know, my shaman told me that I should stop caring about appearances.
00:25:08You know, my whole life, that's all anyone has ever praised.
00:25:12All my mom ever cared about.
00:25:14Because I'm really pretty.
00:25:16I 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.
00:25:27Also wanted to make sure you weren't a dude.
00:25:29I can tell with voices usually, but some guys, they'll... they'll fool you if that's what they want to do.
00:25:36Hey...
00:25:38Are you smiling at me?
00:25:41NARRATOR: Lindsay decided it was only fair
00:25:43to let her husband know
00:25:45their new start had reached a new end.
00:25:47LINDSAY: I left.
00:25:49I guess you noticed.
00:25:50Um, look, I'm sorry.
00:25:52I-I really do care about you, Tobias, but we were trying to save something that just couldn't be saved.
00:25:58And I have to follow my shaman's advice. I...
00:26:01I have to be true to myself for once.
00:26:06And Marky, he sees me for who I really am.
00:26:10-He respects me and... -Come on, lady!
00:26:12You want to wrap this up?
00:26:13My lady needs to call her loser ex.
00:26:16Marky, it's me.
00:26:18It's Lindsay.
00:26:19Oh.
00:26:21I thought you were taking a dump.
00:26:22Oh, 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)
00:26:31He loves me?
00:26:32MARKY: Sorry. False alarm.
00:26:34-I don't love you. -LINDSAY: Uh, I got to go.
00:26:35Can you delete this so I can leave
00:26:37-a message for Maeby? -MARKY: It's good. She's fine.
00:26:38NARRATOR: And soon, the lovers arrived
00:26:40and discovered the joys of their new desert home,
00:26:43dancing and making love all night.
00:26:46Now, that time... was also very quick.
00:26:51And now we've freed the night up to dance again.
00:26:55-Come on. -Oh. Okay.
00:26:56NARRATOR: And the next day,
00:26:58Lindsay awoke to discover the destiny
00:27:00foretold to her in India in drab colors before her.
00:27:04WOMAN: Get away from her.
00:27:05Don't mess with her!
00:27:07She's none of your business.
00:27:08(sighs) Thank you.
00:27:10I said get away from her, you slut!
00:27:12You're scaring the bird.
00:27:13MARKY: No, no, Mom.
00:27:14Mom, she's with us.
00:27:16She lives with us now.
00:27:18And, Mom, she tells me she's pretty.
00:27:21I have the worst (bleep) shaman.
00:27:32The defense calls to the oyster bar thing where they sit the adopted daughter, Lindsay Bluth.
00:27:37NARRATOR: Another chair is empty
00:27:40-at Lucille's trial. -BARRY: Lindsay...
00:27:41Mr. Zuckerkorn,
00:27:43Shrimp-Shooter Nights starts in 15 minutes.
00:27:46Is your witness going to appear?
00:27:48BARRY (gasps): "Appear."
00:27:50Oh, I thought the one on the pier was a Bubba Gump's.
00:27:55NARRATOR: And, in an effort to be less glamorous,
00:27:57Lindsay cuts her hair only to discover,
00:28:00-much to her frustration... -Great. Even cuter.
00:28:03And Tobias becomes addicted
00:28:05-to his new profession. -I'm an addict, and I'm starving.
00:28:08Yes, you are starving, so would you like some butter?
00:28:10I could give you some butter, and, uh, you can pay for it w-with a shoe.
00:28:14Um... I'm sorry, but, uh, his guy's not giving my guy anything, uh, to react to.
00:28:19Uh, could I get some more of that, uh, acting juice?
