- Ritsu Sohma: I am so, so sorry. I can't seem to go anywhere without causing problems for everyone around me. I'm just a born troublemaker, I suppose. It's true. I'm so worthless I can't carry a paper bag. I don't deserve to share the same air with the rest of the human race. I'm a blemish on the face of the world. What was I thinking? A low-life like me should never have come to visit Shigure.
- Tohru Honda: So why is it that Ritsu dresses like a girl?
- Shigure Sohma: Because he feels more comfortable that way. Ri is naturally a very timid person, and when he's dressed like a girl he doesn't feel as much pressure to be assertive.
- Tohru Honda: Poor Ritsu. He has such a sweet smile, and I'm so glad I got to see it because I don't think it happens too often.
- Tohru Honda: Yes, were you going to say something?
- Ritsu Sohma: No, no, Tohru, you were going to say something first.
- Tohru Honda: No, really, I don't mind. Please, go right ahead.
- Ritsu Sohma: No, really, that's all right. After you, please.
- Tohru Honda: Oh, no, I just couldn't.
- Ritsu Sohma: Me neither.
- Tohru Honda: Um, you know, for some reason I don't think this is really getting us anywhere.
