Quotes 

• Fred Mertz : [Fred realizes that he sent the band to Locarno by mistake, instead of Lucerne]  I'm not gonna hang around here and explain this to Ricky... He'll punch me right in the nose.

  Lucy Ricardo : Oh, he will not punch you in the nose. Now listen, all the times Ricky's been mad at me, he never once struck me.

  Fred Mertz : Well, you're bigger than I am.

  Lucy Ricardo : Oh, don't let that Latin temperament scare you. Ricky's bark is worse than his bite.

  Fred Mertz : Don't tell me he bites, too.

• Lucy Ricardo : [to Ricky]  How can you think about a stale show when we're all about to be turned into human popsicles?

  Ricky Ricardo : Well don't pick on me. You were the one who slammed the door.

  Ethel Mertz : Yes, and you were also the one who sneezed.

  Fred Mertz : Yeah, and you were ALSO the one that had the hot idea about going mountain climbing.

  Lucy Ricardo : All right, so I did a few wrong things. I wasn't the only one. We wouldn't be here in the first place if Fred hadn't bungled and sent the band to the wrong place.

  Ricky Ricardo : Yeah.

  Ethel Mertz : [to Fred]  She's right. This is all your fault.

  Fred Mertz : Is that so?

  Ethel Mertz : Oh, what a dumb-bunny trick!

  Fred Mertz : It's your fault. You're the one that sat on my glasses!

  Ethel Mertz : MY fault?

  Fred Mertz : Yes!

  Lucy Ricardo : Well, actually the whole thing is Ricky's fault.

  Ricky Ricardo : MY fault?

  Lucy Ricardo : Yes. If you hadn't left Cuba and come to America, we wouldn't have gotten married and we wouldn't be in Switzerland in the first place!

• Lucy Ricardo : [taking in the view from the Mertz hotel room in Switzerland]  Isn't that the greatest sight you've ever seen? Imagine having an Alp right outside your window.

  Ethel Mertz : Oh, Lucy, it's all so beautiful it leaves me absolutely speechless.

  Fred Mertz : Yeah, why'd you have to louse it up, Lucy. That's the first time she's stopped talking since we've been married.

  Ethel Mertz : Ohhhhh, Fred, you haven't even looked out the window. Haven't you any appreciation for beauty?

  Fred Mertz : What are you doin', Ethel, fishin' for insults?
