• Ethel Mertz : [Lucy has a loving cup for Johnny Longden stuck on her head, and has to get to the Tropicana to give it to Longden shortly]  Lucy, does heat make metal contract or expand?

  Lucy Ricardo : Expand, I think. Why?

  Ethel Mertz : That's it! We'll put your head in the oven!

  Lucy Ricardo : Oh fine.

  Ethel Mertz : Well, don't you like the idea?

  Lucy Ricardo : It's great. Why don't you stick an apple in my mouth and barbecue me?

• Lucy Ricardo : [on the Flatbush Avenue subway platform, with a loving cup stuck on her head]  Pardon me, can you tell me where I am?

  Train Passenger : [looks at her, horrified]  Yeah. You're on earth!

  Lucy Ricardo : [she tries again with another bystander]  Pardon me, where am I?

  Train Passenger : Where are you... *what* are you?

  Lucy Ricardo : Whatsa matter with everybody. Haven't you ever seen anybody with a loving cup on their head before?

  Train Passenger : No, I haven't, and I've lived in Brooklyn for fifty-six years!

• Lucy Ricardo : Oh, good grief, no. Don't get a policeman. You know how nosy they are, always asking those foolish questions and then, instead of helping, after you've gone through all the trouble of explaining for half an hour, all they do is just mess things up. Don't get a policeman!
