Narrator: Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together. It’s Arrested Development.

Narrator: Michael had snuck out of work to see a British film with his British girlfriend, Rita...

Narrator: ...when they came upon a toy store.

Rita: (Gasps.) We should get George Michael one of these.

Michael: Oh, no, that’s not really him. Besides, I already got him his big present for his birthday.

Rita: Oh, come on, let’s get him the train.

Michael: It’s... really, he would only like it for the receipt. And this is crazy, I, really... I can’t be seeing movies in the afternoon and then go into toy stores. I have to work. I’m not even supposed to be here.

Narrator: Michael couldn’t tear himself away. Could you?

Michael: I can’t promise it’ll be fun.

Rita: (Screaming giddily.)

Michael: Okay... that was fun. Still, the land probably shouldn’t have given out underneath us. But we’ve got a mole problem.

Rita: A mole problem?

Michael: Yeah, they’ve undermined this whole hill, and we probably won’t be able to build on it for a few months. But it’s my own fault— this is exactly why I should have been coming to work. The Japanese backers, if they find out about this, that we haven’t started building, they might not come through with their investments.

Rita: I won’t tattle. I really fancy you.

Michael: I fancy you, too.

Narrator: Michael was falling for Rita.

Rita: Whoo!

Narrator: And Rita was falling for Michael, too. But that wasn’t part of the plan.

Trevor: Rita. You’ve dirt on your face.

Rita: It’s from school.

Trevor: I called the school, and you weren’t there. You know, we’re here to learn things, not to fall in love.

Rita: Well, so what if I have. I’ve got feelings, all right? I’m a woman, too, Not some robot you get to tell everything to! I’m sick of it! I’m sick of it all! Your instructions! And your letters! And your little missions! And stupid assignments— “You do the math, Rita.” Well, no, you do the math! (Softly.) Oh, God.

Trevor: Do you remember this? And the pledge that you made when you were promised it?

Rita: I said I’d do anything for it.

Trevor: I want him out of the picture. Can you do that?

Rita: I’m a big girl. (Shrieks.) (Laughing.)

Narrator: And Michael returned home as well.

Michael: Hey, what happened to you?

Tobias: Oh, I got highlights. It’ll blend in in about a week.

Michael: Yeah, I actually meant the collapse.

Tobias: Oh, I don’t know. It probably has something to do with the 4,000 hair plugs I had in one sitting.

Michael: Maybe you ought to see a doctor.

Tobias: Yeah, but he’s too busy going to the gym to see his friend, Frank.
