William Frawley: Fred Mertz

Quotes 

• Fred Mertz : What do you mean, you want forty dollars for a lamp?

  Ethel Mertz : Just what I said. We don't have a decent lamp to read by.

  Fred Mertz : Listen, Ethel, if you want to read, you can read by firelight. If it was good enough for Abraham Lincoln, it's good enough for you.

  Ethel Mertz : Oh, don't drag in your boyhood pals, Fred.
