A Delightful Conversation Between Lindsay Bluth Fünke and Lucille Bluth
Lindsay: Mother, you won’t believe the sale I just stumbled upon at the boutique today. You know, it’s truly one of my many talents to find such amazing deals.
Lucille: Darling, if by “talent” you mean extravagance, then yes, you definitely have it. I’ll only be impressed the day you buy something at the full price. Speaking of, have you actually found a real job yet?
Lindsay: Mother, jobs are for people who haven’t realized their true potential in life. I’m more of a… lifestyle curator. Besides, I’m already juggling so much — charity events, fashion statements, and being a role model for Maeby.
Lucille: Ah yes, and somewhere in between all that, you managed to forget how paying bills works. Honestly, I sometimes wonder who you inherited this sense of financial awe from. Certainly not me.
Lindsay: Don’t worry, Mom. I’ve been experimenting with the idea of leading a self-exploration workshop. I could show people how to live as fabulously as I do – think about it, inspiring others with my minimal efforts!
Lucille: A workshop? How delightful. Perhaps your first topic could be “Does anyone really pull off a feather boa?” I remember when you loved them even more than real clothes.
Lindsay: Feather boas are timeless, Mother. But really, I think this could be groundbreaking. Personal empowerment is so in vogue right now, and who better than me to guide the way?
Lucille: Just try to make sure your empowerment class doesn’t empower itself right out of a profit. And Lindsay, if you really want to contribute, there’s always the Lucille’s Ladies charity gala coming up. You could help by… well, by just showing up. And darling, do try to socialize with the donors, not just the bartender.
Lindsay: I’ll consider it. But first, I need to convince Tobias that “blue” really isn’t his color. Wish me luck.
Lucille: Good luck with your creative endeavors, Lindsay. I’m sure there’s someone out there who needs guidance only you can provide—ridiculous, over-the-top, luxurious guidance.
