• Lucy Ricardo : You know, it isn't every day that Mr and Mrs Fred Mertz celebrate their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary.

  Ricky Ricardo : That's right.

  Lucy Ricardo : [wistfully]  Gee, that's such a long time. Twenty-five years.

  Ricky Ricardo : Yeah. Twenty-five years!

  Lucy Ricardo : It sounds longer when you say it.

• Ricky Ricardo : [the Mertzes and the Ricardos have an argument, and destroy each other's TV sets]  I spent the whole afternoon figuring our case against the Mertzes.

  Lucy Ricardo : No kidding. Are we gonna sue them?

  Ricky Ricardo : You're darn right we're gonna sue them, unless he pays for that set.

  Lucy Ricardo : What if he sues us first?

  Ricky Ricardo : They wouldn't dare.

  Lucy Ricardo : [a knock at the door, and a man serves Ricky with a summons]  We better get ourselves a lawyer.

  Lucy Ricardo : We do.

  Ricky Ricardo : Now look, honey, I don't want any lawyers lousing us up. I'm gonna do it myself. Now, here.

  Lucy Ricardo : [Ricky hands Lucy some papers]  What's this?

  Lucy Ricardo : And we don't need a laywer?

  Ricky Ricardo : Nope.

  Lucy Ricardo : How 'bout an interpreter?
