Michael Quote #268
Quote from Michael in For British Eyes Only
Narrator: And Michael went to cancel with Rita.
Michael: Sorry. I just wanted to let you know that I'm not going to be needing your passport, after all.
We're just going to go to court, plead guilty... that'll be that.
Rita: So it's bye-bye to Rita, then?
Michael: Actually, I was wondering if- if you might want to...
Rita: I wouldn't. I'll make you blue.
Narrator: Rita was just talking about the fingerpaint, but Michael didn't know that.
Rita: I was just wondering if you might want to bid me fair 'morrow. That's all. See ya.
Narrator: Michael was filled with self-loathing. Had he been Jack the Ripper he would have soothed himself in a most unsavory way. But instead, he just sat in his car and ate a whole thing of candy beans.

Quote from George Sr.
George Sr.: You got to get me out of here.
Michael: You're the one that said no to prison.
George Sr.: I was wrong. There, you just have it to shut your eyes and take it. Here, you have shut your eyes and give it. Now, listen, we can't go in there and plead "not guilty". We have to have someone big behind us, our own private Matlock. So I made calls and I got him.
Michael: Got who?
George Sr.: Andy Griffith. What, you never saw Matlock?
Michael: Not a real attorney, Dad.
George Sr.: Now, for ten grand, he'll actually sit behind us in court and read the paper. For 15, he'll actually sit at the defense table. For $20,000, he'll twice lean forward and whisper something in your ear. Oh. White suit, that's extra.
Michael: Boy, that's an awful lot of money for the stupidest idea I've ever heard.
George Sr.: The juries love him.
Quote from Lindsay
Michael: I knew you wouldn't have the gut to go through with the divorce.

Michael: Lot of that was the coma.
Lindsay: Yeah, I've heard your side of it.
