Crazy - it’s the newest thing - pull the ring from their backs and you’ll hear the darnedest things!

Tobias - “I smell _ol-ives_!”

Steve Holt - “Steve Holt!”

Micheal - “Annabell…uh I mean…”

George - “Her?”

Gob - “I just made a huge mistake”

Lindsay - “Michael, it was shoplifting, and I’m white. I think I’m going to be okay.”

Lucille - “Stop playing with mother’s rape horn. Yes, I have a rape horn, Michael, because you took away my mace.”

George Micheal - “Because anything can happen when two people share a cell, 'cos.”  
Seeing if I can make this a completely respondless thread like my deathmetal one. XD

I should add that I heard through the cup and string that some of them have more than one message.

I thought this was going to include a link to an actual thing. Disappointed.

And by the way, Gob’s quote needs to be “They’re not tricks, Michael. They’re _illusions_. Tricks are what whores do for money.” Preferably with The Final Countdown playing in the background.

[Franklin](http://arresteddevelopment.wikia.com/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Bluth) is an actual doll.

[There is a “paper doll” style refrigerator magnet with removable magnet clothes for at least Tobias](http://www.amazon.com/Arrested-Development-Tobias-Funke-Magnet/dp/B00FQ1NQAE).

Yeah I forgot about Franklin (“It ain’t easy being whiiiiite. It ain’t easy being broowwwn. All this pressure to be bright. I got chillin’ all over town”)  
If only they actually sold duplicates of him.

Impressive magnet action! Never-nude whole wheat goodness on my fridge - tempting!

Annyon: “Annyon!”

Lucille: “Here’s some money. Go see a star war.”

“I got children all over town”, right?

I agree that Tobias’s phrase should be “I just blue myself”, and/or “There are dozens of us!”

Michael should say “Watch out for hop-ons.”

Kitty: “Take a good look, 'cause it’s the last time you’ll see _these_.”

George: “Daddy horny”

I think Gob’s line is actually “I’ve made a huge mistake”.

Maebe: “Marry me!”

J Walter Weatherman: “And that’s why…” (String is attached to detachable prosthetic arm)

Everyone needs their own chicken dance sound.

Sure - I p.c. chickened-out, there.

Micheal: “You stay on top of her, buddy. Do not be afraid to ride her. Hard.”

Mr. Howard Narrator: “No, not that one…wait for it…_that_ one”

“…and candy.”

Buster: “I never thought I’d miss a hand so much.”

George Sr.: “I am having a love affair with this ice cream sandwich.”

Tobias: “Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over—an analyst and a therapist. The world’s first analrapist.”

Lucille: “Look what they’ve done, Michael! Look what the homosexuals have done to me!”

Carl Weathers: “Let me tell you a little story about acting. I was doing this Showtime movie, Hot Ice with Anne Archer, never once touched my per diem. I’d go to Craft Service, get some raw veggies, bacon, Cup-A-Soup…Baby, I got a stew going!”

There also needs to br a Motherboy XXX special edition.
