“There's always money in the banana stand.”

“You're gonna get some hop-ons.”

“I've made a huge mistake.”

Self-referential one-liners like these three uttered by various “Arrested Development” characters are some of the show's most powerful currency.

The return of “Arrested Development” early this morning on Netflix is likely to provide new one-liners for the show's army of aficionados to repeat to one another, transform into Internet memes and print on T-shirts.
