crowning moment of awesome: lucille bluth (arrested development)

“Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to rehab.”

After turning up drunk to a business meeting, acid-tongued and alcohol-soaked matriarch Lucille Bluth is tricked into rehab by her kids. They promptly have to bust her out when Kitty, company secretary-turned-blackmailer, demands to turn over a cooler of evidence to no-one but Lucille. Meeting in an Orange County beachfront bar at the height of spring break, the two women have a drinking contest for the cooler.

Warming up with a cheeky shot (”That one didn’t count”), Lucille ends up waltzing away — still clutching a glass of red wine — leaving Kitty on the table, to the appreciation of the whooping crowd: “She’s in rehab! WOOOO!”
