Rita's last words in this scene refer to William Blake's work "Songs of Innocence and Experience". Rita is back from summer school and shows a drastic change from the Rita in the last scene. She is restless, more positive; she is free of inhibitions and wants to transmit Frank her new attitude, renewed after being in London.
By mentioning innocence and experience, the author is refering to Rita and Frank. Rita is the young, naif and inocent girl who had wished to change her life, and apparently has done so. Frank is the mature, experienced man who was to help her change. Now Rita has changed too much in Frank's view. He thinks she has achieved her goal of changing her life, and he is afraid he'll loose her as she doen't need him anymore to learn how to be a better person.
