All of us know of Chico's familiar quotes such as ( for example)

"Looking Good!"

"Ees not my job"...

What are your other favorite familiar quotes or lines from the show of Chico and the Man.

I don't remember the exact show now, but Chico is running around the garage getting ready for a date. Ed is trying to talk to him and Chico says,"I have to get dressed for my date." Then Ed replies, "You don't get dressed, you get upholstered." :lol: I just always thought that was so funny.

Loved that line! It was from the episode with Patty Beltran, "Life Style". One of my favorites for many reasons, not the least of which was the suit Chico was getting "upholstered" into hee hee! Freddie did look fabulous in a three-piece suit!

Another of my favorite lines is from when Ed wants to marry Aunt Connie and it dawns on him that he and Chico would then be uncle and nephew. I fall apart laughing at the the accent and the look Freddie puts on when he says, "Well, I sure ain't gonna be your niece!"

I have two really, cause I have hundreds but if I had to narrow it down....

The first also comes from the first Aunt Connie episode when Ed tells Chico that his aunt wanted to see the Rose Bowl and Chico asks him who was playing and Ed, without missing a beat says "We were!" with that sly look on his face.... Chico's expression to that was priceless.

I guess my all time favorite comes from the boxer episode when Louie is trying to convince Chico, on the prompting of Ed, not to box. Chico looks at Louie and says, "I don't know how he does it, Louie? I see you talking but all I hear is Ed!" and then looks up at Ed on the stairs. I bust out laughing every time!

I wanted to let all of you know that I would have done more for the anniversary, but things here have been kinda wild. I know that is really no excuse, but I think of you all and CATM often, even if I don't get on here much anymore. I would ask all of you to pray for me, since I have been under a lot of stress lately due to both school and family issues. My health is deteratoring because of it and I really need to get into the doctor to have some of this looked at. It got so bad last Wednesday that I thought I was having a mild heart attack and called the EMT's to my home, but it turned out to be stress enduced digestive pain.

I love you all and think of you all as my extended family. I wanted to personally thank Suzanne for her hard work on the Anniversary tribute over at Ed Brown's garage. I saw Mando's letter too and wanted to thank him for joining us. I hope that the doctors can get me straightened out, that my work and stress load will lighten soon and I can get back on here and get to writing stories again. I miss it all.

Thanks for listening!

Okay...for one of his catch phrases.... it would have to be....
YOUUUU got it!...

I cant BELIEVE no one else said this.... !

but there two things he said that always stuck in my mind.......

The FIRST show..where Ed yells "Chico get out here..we got a customer" and Chico answers... WE? got a custemer! WE GOT A CUSTEMER! The adorable smile and the dimples just knock ya out...and then there one more.... We he said something to Ed to the effect of "My people have a saying..and it says something in spanish...and he is asked what does that mean?" and he aswers... I DUNT belief you...in that cute accent!

I love those too anbd when he he says lets do what the baker said when the bakery was on fire....lets get our buns out of here!

and when he does the 'commercial' for that aftershave fruit and the car salesman when they try to sell louie's car

I thought of another..............Ed saying "Your jeans are too tight...they are cutting off the circulation to your brain"

yeah that was a great line too and as i recall it got a huge reaction from the audience...especially the girls!

the line when he is sitting on the sofa in the garage with Nancy..remember her..the one with the daughter Morgan..and their talking and he looks up at her and says "Come here to me"..I nearly die everytime he says that. I love that Freddie line because I have never heard anyone say that since.

A few favorite quotes:

Chico, running out to see the mural: "Nudity? Where??"

Louie, ranting about the mural: "....because garbage like that belongs in the can, and the guy that painted it, belongs in the can, too!!"

Ed, (to himself): "come on, Ed, drinking at 9:00 in the morning? Well, lets see, it's 5:00 in London....God save the Queen!" *gulp*

Chico (with a slight lisp, telling Ed how irresistable to Flora he is) "look at that face, look at that gorgeous physique, look at those shoulders.....ppphhhh!! *laughs hysterically*
