[narrating] If there's one thing I've learned in 85 years, it's that what you want, doesn't really matter. You can want to get from here to there, you can want to be on time. You can want to avoid someone, 'cause, say you drank their blood out in the desert. You can want all of these things, but if the universe wants something different, you can run, but you can't hide.
“Arrested Development” · Season 1, Episode 5
In this episode: Mick St. John (4), Beth Turner (2), Josef Kostan (2)
So, what's her name...
You know her name.
Yeah, so how's that going after.. happy hour?
Fine.
Well, knowing you, that means you're avoiding her. You're a romantic in the abstract, my friend, but the reality of fang on flesh...
Look, you said you could help me find the missing girl.
Did I?
Yes, you did.
Josef, Ryder, meet Beth Turner.
Beth Turner, Buzzwire. Such a beautiful woman on the internet.
Thank you... I guess. So, are you going to tell me what I'm doing here?
RRyder
Mick said you had a great voice.
Ryder, here, has a got a list of all of the incoming calls from the dead escort's website in the last 24 hours of her life. One of them is probably the killer.
So you want me to call the numbers?
Eh. Quick study.
What should I say? I've never spoken to a serial killer before.
Well, be polite. Please, thank you.
Just do....
RRyder
Whatever escorts do... [holding out an earpiece]
[narrating] Maybe it's the sum of a million coincidences we don't quite control that brings us to a particular place at a particular time. [he drops his keys, they roll under his car. He bends down to get them.]
[can't see Mick, walks beside his car]
[narrating] Or maybe it's the choices we make, the actions we take. If there's one thing I've learned in 85 years, it's that what we want doesn't always matter. [He stands with his keys, coming face to face with Beth. They both gasp]
You just took off.
Well, you were kinda tied up with your editor.
You could at least have said goodbye.
Good- [Beth stands on her toes to kiss him] bye.
[They kiss again] [narrating] What we want, doesn't always matter... but then again, sometimes it's the only thing that does.
