From "Meat the Veals"
Rita: Good-bye, Michael. You know, I really did fancy you. I can’t stay here now.
Michael: Marry me!
Rita: What?
Michael: Let me marry you. You can get a green card, stay here, and we can see if this works. I know it sounds crazy, but... This will give us a chance to get away from both of our families and see if this works. Might be fun.
From "Mr. F"
Michael: Even if we’re not related, I think I would like for you to work here. You’re very, very good at it. What you do for a job is not really a great way to make a living, you know?
Nellie: I make 300 grand a year.
Michael: Marry me! ...It’s weird on so many levels.
From "Family Ties"
Ann: We had a great night together. I understand if you need your space.
G.O.B.: Oh, marry me!
Ann: Yes. Yes I'll marry you G.O.B.!
Narrator: Of course G.O.B. meant it in the showbizy way his niece had always used when she was accused of being too young. But like many evangelicals, Ann took it literally.
Ann: I'm getting married!
From "Colony Collapse"
Maeby: Anyway I guess that's why I can't make a relationship work. Does that upset you?
Stan Sitwell: Annette, it does, if you must know the truth, 'cause your dad was a damn fool. I see the real you: a special, wonderful, unique 67-year old woman who amazes me every day.
Narrator: And that's when Maeby realized what it was about Stan's behavior that was so confusing.
Stan Sitwell: It would be my pleasure to be the man in your life that your father never was.
Stan Sitwell: It was paternal, and, touched, all she could think of to say was...
Maeby: Bury me!
