- T-Bone: Oh, most definitely.
- Michael: [about the Banana Stand] I burned it. Right down to the ground.

- Michael: Why didn't you tell me?
- George Sr.: How much clearer can I say

- [Gob is buying a dove at the pet store]
- Clerk: Don't you want a cage for that?
- George "Gob" Bluth II: [sticking the dove in his jacket] Please! I'm a professional.
- [the dove can be heard cooing as Gob walks to the door. He walks into the door and the dove stops cooing]
