Arrested Development, the world’s fifth-greatest television series*, is set to return to the airwaves for a long-awaited fourth season. After that, a movie! Creator and writer Mitchell Hurwitz broke the news at a New Yorker festival event yesterday. “We’re trying to do a limited-run series into the movie. We’re basically hoping to do nine or 10 episodes, with almost one character per episode,” he said. Though said nine or 10 episodes will likely revolve around the show’s stars, we hope that some minor, though no less memorable, characters get their fair share of screen time, too. What follows is a list, in no particular order, of obscure figures we hope will appear in the series and movie.

The Tobias Is Queen Mary dancing troupe of reformed street thugs

Who?: When Tobias buys a nightclub (the Tobias Is Queen Mary), he mistakes a band of male strippers for neighborhood riff-raff. He teaches them the art of dance, and, as they are professional dancers, they are all very fast learners.

Episode: “Queen for a Day.”

Key line: Tobias: “All right, fellas, look, I know you know nothing but a life on the street. But I’d like to offer you something that the Queen Mary gave me: the joy of the stage. So, maybe you could, uh, start jeté-ing, and stop ... je-terrorizing me.”

The Roomba

Who?: Lucille fires her housekeeper, Lupe, after she catches her in Buster’s bed. Lupe’s replacement: a robotic vacuum whom Lucille also later catches in a compromising position with Buster.

Episode: “The Immaculate Election.”

Key line: Buster: “What do you expect, mother? I’m half-machine!” Franklin

Who?: Gob’s edgy puppet.

Episode: “Meet the Veals.”

Key line: Gob: “Franklin said some things Whitey just wasn't ready to hear … He also said some things that African-Americany wasn't ready to hear, either.”

Mrs. Featherbottom

Who?: Tobias’s British au pair alter-ego.

Episode: “The Immaculate Election.”

Key line: Tobias: “O.K., who’d like a banger in the mouth? Oh, right. I forgot; here in the States you call it a ‘sausage’ in the mouth.”

Bob Loblaw

Who?: The Bluth family’s new lawyer after Michael lets Barry Zuckerkorn go.

Episode: “Forget-Me-Now.”

Key line: “Why should you go to jail for a crime someone else noticed?”

Carl Weathers

Who?: Tobias’s acting coach and an enterprising miser.

Episode: “Public Relations.”

Key line: “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.”

Dr. Fishman (the Literal Doctor)

Who?: A doctor with a sensitivity (and syntax) problem.

Episode: “Hand to God.”

Key line:

Lucille: “Dr. Wordsmith, how’s my son?”

Dr. Fishman: “He’s going to be all right.”

Lindsay: “Finally! Some good news from this guy.”

George Michael: “There’s no other way to take that.”

Dr. Fishman: “That’s a great attitude. I tell you, if I were getting this news, I don’t know that I’d take it this well.”

Lucille: “But … you said he was all right …”

Dr. Fishman: “Yes, he’s lost his left hand, so he’s going to be all right.”

We also hope to finally find out whence the lighter fluid came.
