Ethel Mertz : Say, how 'bout playing some Bridge tonight?
Lucy Ricardo : Oh, sorry, honey, Ricky has to go to a fathers' meeting at school. And, say, the last time we played Bridge, you said you'd never want to play with me again. What happened?
Ethel Mertz : Our television set's broken.

Lucy Ricardo : [Little Ricky convinces Big Ricky to swallow his pride and be a hollow tree in the school pageant] Well, I guess he taught you a lesson. Just because you couldn't be the Big Cheese, you didn't want to play.
Ricky Ricardo : Don't you talk too much. Wait 'til you find out what they want you to do.
Lucy Ricardo : What?
Ricky Ricardo : You are going to be the Old Witch.
Ethel Mertz : Oh, a hollow tree and an Old Witch. That's funny, huh?
Ricky Ricardo : And don't you two laugh, either.
Ethel Mertz : What do you mean?
Ricky Ricardo : Well, all the parents are busy in the production and direction end of this extravaganza, so I told them that you two would be very happy to take a part.
Fred Mertz : Oh, no. What'd they pick out for me?
Ricky Ricardo : Oh, they got a dilly for you. You're gonna be a frog!
Ethel Mertz : Freddy the Frog. Oh, that's *really* funny!
Ricky Ricardo : And you, Ethel, are going to be the Fairy Princess.
Ethel Mertz : [suddenly feeling elegant] Ohhhh.
Fred Mertz : Well, if there's anything funnier than me being a frog, its you being a Fairy Princess!
