Ricky Ricardo : [Ricky tries a solution for Lucy's habitual tardiness] I'm making out a schedule so you can budget your time.
Lucy Ricardo : Budget my time? You mean like I budget my money?
Ricky Ricardo : Heaven forbid.
Lucy Ricardo : Now Ricky, listen...
Ricky Ricardo : You listen to me. Now, I'm sick and tired of you being late all the time. It's obviously that you can not budget your time, so somebody has to do it for you.
Lucy Ricardo : Well, I don't think I'm gonna like this. How does it go?
Ricky Ricardo : Well, we'll write down everythin' that you do during the day, and we'll allow so much time for each thin'. Ten minutes for this, fifteen minutes for that...
Lucy Ricardo : Oh, I'm gonna need more than fifteen minutes for that.

Ethel Mertz : Where did you get the extra hour?
Lucy Ricardo : From the next day.
Ethel Mertz : From the next day?
Lucy Ricardo : Yeah. It'll work out fine till the end of the year and then I'll be two weeks short.

Lucy Ricardo : That's right.
Mrs. Phoebe Littlefield : You Benedict Arnold!
