- 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!
