  Bill Parker : Wonderful. Like to meet your wife.

  Ricky Ricardo : That's right, you haven't met Lucy, have you?

  Bill Parker : Not yet.

  Ricky Ricardo : OK, I'll call her.

  [he starts to dial the 'phone] 

  Bill Parker : Y'know, it'll be a real pleasure to spend an evening with some folks who aren't trying to audition for my show.

  Ricky Ricardo : [he stops dialing]  Uh oh.

  Bill Parker : What's the matter?

  Ricky Ricardo : Look, if you want to spend a real pleasant evening, I better introduce you as Bill Parker, an old friend of mine, and not mention anything about your connections with show business.

  Bill Parker : Has your wife got aspirations?

  Ricky Ricardo : No, no, she's feeling all right. Just that she wants to get in show business.

• Bill Parker : [after their jitterbug audition]  Pretty good, pretty good.

  Arthur Walsh : Pretty good? Say, Dad, this cat's real nervous.

  Lucy Ricardo : Awww, man, you're the craziest!

  Arthur Walsh : And you're a gasser!

  Lucy Ricardo : You're the mostest!

  Ricky Ricardo : Hmmph. And people say I'm hard to understand.
