Rita quotes from Arrested Development

Michael

Great. I was wondering if you might be willing to go somewhere with me. I would pay you.

Rita

You'll pay me?

Michael

Not... not for sex. You're going to think that I'm Jack the Ripper, right? Didn't he kill prostitutes or...?

Rita

I'm not a prostitute.

Michael

Then I shall let you live.

Narrator

Michael did try again with Rita, but this time determined to keep no secrets.

Michael

I want to tell you everything if... if you're willing to listen.

Rita

I'm a very good listener.

Michael

Great. Start with the misdemeanors and then, we're gonna' push right on through to the lighter treasons. So, 1983...

Michael

She's sweet. She's smart. She's beautiful. She's special.

Narrator

She was special.

Rita

Are houses terribly hard to make?

Michael

Actually, the hardest part is finding the land.

Narrator

But she wasn't smart...

Rita

Instead of making houses, maybe you should make land.

Narrator

...for Rita had only mentally progressed...

Rita

On the ocean.

Narrator

...to the level of a first grader.

Rita

There's no land on the ocean.

Narrator

Michael might have noticed her disability if it had not been masked by her English accent.

Michael

[pause] You are brilliant.

Narrator

Yeah. She wasn't.

Rita

Rita corny, Michael.

Narrator

So Michael used a line that was just as corny.

Michael

You know, I think that we should wait until after we're married.

Rita

You found out.

Michael

Took me long enough.

Rita

Maybe you're not smart, either! I didn't know until they told me.
