Quotes

Ethel Mertz : [Lucy is miffed that she's excluded from Ricky's spread in Life Magazine except for a close-up of her arm holding Little Ricky] Hey, twenty million people read this magazine. Why, your arm will be famous.
Lucy Ricardo : [sarcastically] Thanks.
Ethel Mertz : Oh, don't be so unhappy. Think of how much good it'll do Ricky's career.
Lucy Ricardo : Oh, sure. What about *my* career.
Ethel Mertz : You don't have a career.
Lucy Ricardo : Exactly. And why? Publicity like this.
Ethel Mertz : Oh, now Lucy.
Lucy Ricardo : It's a wonder I've got where I am.
Ethel Mertz : Where are you?
Lucy Ricardo : Oh, shut up!

Lucy Ricardo : It's only because of Little Ricky that I want to get my break in show business.
Ricky Ricardo : Well, I know I'm going to be sorry I asked this, but how do you figure?
Lucy Ricardo : Well, you just think ahead a little bit. When Little Ricky goes to school, and some of his playmates asks who his parents are...
Ricky Ricardo : Yeah...
Lucy Ricardo : ...just what is he going to have to say? 'My father is Ricky Ricardo, the internationally-known entertainer. And then there's my mother, whose name escapes me for the moment.'
