- Ricky Ricardo: How about having dinner with us tonight?
- 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.
- Ethel Mertz: Lucy, have you seen Fred?
- Lucy Ricardo: No, honey, I haven't...
- Fred Mertz: [Fred comes in the other door] Hey, Lucy, have you seen Ethel?
- Ethel Mertz: Oh, there you are.
- Fred Mertz: Oh, there *you* are. Where have you been?
- Ethel Mertz: I've been lookin' for you. Where have you been?
- Fred Mertz: I've been lookin' for you. Where have *you* been?
- Ethel Mertz: I've been lookin'...
- Lucy Ricardo: Oh, now, wait a minute. You found each other. Now go on from there.
- Fred Mertz: What d'you want?
- Ethel Mertz: I wanted to tell you to be sure and sandpaper that new banister you put in, before some idiot runs his hand down it and picks up a splinter. What'd you want?
- Fred Mertz: I was wonderin' if you'd help me get this splinter out of my hand.
- 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.
