Funny / Educating Rita

• Rita's response to one of the questions about addressing the staging difficulties of one play? Do it on the radio. This turns into an Awesome Moment, where she shows that she does know her stuff and explains that the playwright intended for it to be a play on voices and would have done it on the radio had it been around at the time.
• Rita bursts into Frank's class in a panic...to say she's just been to the theatre for the first time. She says she saw Macbeth, to which she says "His wife was a bloody cow, wasn't she?"
• After this she realises she's left one of her customers in the salon and rushes back at once.
  "She only came in for a demi-wave. She'll come out looking like a flippin' muppet!"
• Rita's epic burn on her father when he apologises to Denny for his daughter not getting pregnant yet.
  Dad: I'm sorry, Denny. If she was a wife of mine, I'd drown her.
  Rita: If I was a wife of yours, I'd drown myself.^note It's a variation of the barb by Winston Churchill, responding to a woman telling him “If I were your wife, I’d put poison in your tea.” He retorted, "If I were your husband, I’d drink it!”
