Quotes 

• Ricky Ricardo : Now, Mrs. Ricardo, if you don't mind, I think that I am entitled to a little bit of an explanation of WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!

  Lucy Ricardo : Uh, Ethel would you excuse us? I have a little explaining to do to Ricky.

  Ethel Mertz : You sure have, dear. Good night!

  [Ethel runs off] 

  Lucy Ricardo : Now, now, Ricky, sit down, dear. Sit down. Oh, wait till you hear!

  [Chuckling nervously] 

  Lucy Ricardo : It's so funny, and it's so simple.

  Ricky Ricardo : Well, what is it?

  Lucy Ricardo : Well, you know this morning, when we had that discussion about money? Well, Ethel and I -

  [the doorbell rings] 

  Lucy Ricardo : Oh, I'll get it.

  Ricky Ricardo : No, no, *I'll* get it.

  [Ricky opens the door] 

  Arnold - The First Husband : Is this the Ricardo residence?

  Ricky Ricardo : Yes?

  Arnold - The First Husband : [He walks over to Lucy and puts his arm around her]  Darling! Don't you recognise me? It's Arnold!

  Ricky Ricardo : Well!

  Lucy Ricardo : [Wide eyed and in shock]  Ricky, I want you to meet my second first husband!

• Lucy Ricardo : Now, Ricky, listen to me, please, listen to me! That's what they asked me to do at the radio program in order to win that thousand dollars, and I came home and I tried to do it, and I don't know who that first man was, but I was never married to him, and this is the man from the program, and he's my real first husband, but I was never married to him either, and that's the truth, so help me!
