Trivia

The only books in the Bluth house are copies of Tobias (David Cross)'s book The Man Inside Me, first seen in episode 1.22, Arrested Development: Let 'Em Eat Cake (2004)) labeled with the sticker "Free with purchase of any other book (or magazine)." This would seem to indicate that Tobias has lost/thrown away his copy of Acting: Like a Man. Michael (Jason Bateman) refers to this book after reading New Warden screenplay, he says "I wish I'd read The Man Inside Me."

Goofs

When George Michael discovers Tobias in his cell, Tobias points to the cell on the left and says "Oh, she's in the next cell." However, the shot before of George Michael walking in shows two random extras in the cell on the left.

Quotes

[Gob hosts a video on Graft-Vs-Host disease]
Gob: Graft-Vs-Host. When you hear about it, it sounds like a match up between tennis great Steffi Graf and "Happy Days" star Donny Host.
Narrator: It's MOST.
