The games seem to have fizzled out long ago on this board. Let's see if there is still any interest. Guess who said the quote, then give a new quote.

"I'm sorry your mother looks like a weasel."

Ethel Mertz.

"She spends money like I was printing it in the basement."

Fred.

"How are we gonna catch these fish?-- by stepping on them?"

Lucy said that in "The Camping Trip" episode.

"Ugh, jelly. Ooh, cherry (giggles)."

I'm only guessing, but I think it's Ethel sampling assorted chocolates.

"...maybe some day you'll grow up to be a nice big sofa!"

I'm only guessing, but I think it's Ethel sampling assorted chocolates.

"...maybe some day you'll grow up to be a nice big sofa!"

The Police officer in "New Neighbors."

"Give me a hand with my foot."

Lucy, after stealing John Wayne's footprints, had her foot stuck in the bucket of cement, and was trying to conceal it from Ricky.

"Father-- you're forgetting, I'M the mayor."

12 days later, the answer is: Mrs. Willoughby, "Mother," in "The Marriage License;" played by Elizabeth Patterson, later 'Mrs. Trumble.'

New quote:
"Mrs. Ricardo, just what are you trying to do to the wives of America?"

Phoebe Littlefield; after Ricky puts Lucy on a schedule.

"When you were a little boy, they had real dragons."

Ethel, speaking to Fred in England, as Fred had a toy dragon for Little Ricky and said "When I was a little boy they had toy dragons."

"Inasmuch as we are faced with a state of emergency here, we will dispense with the traditional oath of allegiance and good morning song."

English tutor Percy Livermore (as played to perfection by the late great Hans Conried,) when he came to teach his first class at the Ricardo's apartment and heard his pupil's use of the English language.

"We didn't have any friends in the city, either."

That was Fred on the intercom in Connecticut.


"And oh, we met a man who owns an amusement park in Red Bluff, California and if we ever get up there, little Ricky can ride the merry-go-round free."

Mrs. McGillicuddy, talking about a man she met on the plane ride to California.

"Boy this is a dull State."

Lucy, referring to Connecticut, after Ricky found the barbecue "rebuilt," and he denied her suggestions that it was an earthquake or a tornado. [But I'll bet there have been tornadoes and earthquakes there at some time.]

"He isn't half the man he used to be."

Lucy: Lamely explaining to Ricky why Tom Henderson (actually a mannequin) separated at the waist while she was holding him.

"Gee, you're keen"

That would be the teen that had a crush on Ricky.

"Happy Birthday, and I hope you live ANOTHER 75 years!!!!!"

Lucy to Ethel after Ethel made insulting remarks about the gift (hideous lounging pajamas for cocktail parties) Fred was giving her for her birthday; which Lucy had actually picked out.

"Madame, you're slip is showing."

The dock agent (in New York Harbor?) said that to Lucy after she got her skirt caught in the bicycle sprocket while trying to get on the ship to Europe.


"...and with fiendish glee, picked up my husband's foot and pushed it through the glass."

Ethel, in the court scene about the damaged televisions.
[But the previous quote, "Madame, your slip is showing," was not the dock agent, but the Idlewild Airport agent/manager, when Lucy showed up to rent a 'hellyacopter.']

"I guess they're just not making cameras like they used to."

Oh, you're right, TDR. Sorry about that!

Ever since we said I Do there are so many things we don't.

"I guess they're just not making cameras like they used to."

Totally a guess. Lucy while looking at pics of Little Ricky in "Baby Pictures"?

Ever since we said I Do there are so many things we don't.

Lucy to Ethel after mentioning that Ricky hates nightclubs despite working in one.

Double quote: (the first one may not be exact)

"After all, I gave you the best years of my life."

"Were those the BEST??!!"

Totally a guess. Lucy while looking at pics of Little Ricky in "Baby Pictures"?



Lucy to Ethel after mentioning that Ricky hates nightclubs despite working in one.

Double quote: (the first one may not be exact)

"After all, I gave you the best years of my life."

"Were those the BEST??!!"

The first quote is just a guess on my part too, but I would guess it's Lucy's comment when looking at her passport photos.


The first part of your quote is Ethel and the second part is Fred's response. That one still makes me laugh!


"I yust come back from Sveeden I want to use Ricky Ricardo in a picture I'm doing in Sveeden."

Dore Schary (played by Philip Ober), having been hired by Lucy, with identity unknown, to be foregin competition for Ricky.
[Aside: that zany sportcoat that Fred lent him, for which Ricky apologized for being critical of Fred's 'taste in clothes,' looked just like what Ricky was wearing the day they got the call from Hollywood.]

"You-all must be from the nawrth."

The reaction of the counter man at the diner (played by Strother Martin) when Lucy, Ethel and ride share companion Edna Grundy (played by Elsa Lanchester) came in and began acting squirrely because each thought the other was a wanted ax-murderer.

"I'm surprised if my ribs aren't broken."

Ricky, when rehearsing the tango with Lucy at the beginning of the ep (not positive about this one).

"I do; I make a fortune .... selling this diner and buying it back from people who want to go into business for themselves."

That was the guy that sold the diner to the Ricardos and the Mertzes.

And the ribs quote I'm pretty sure was Ricky in the Housewarming ep.

"And you can put that parasol away, bum-bum"

Ricky's quote was from the Housewarming episode. It happened when they were practicing being surprised and Lucy opens the door and Ricky gets squashed behind it.

Ya'll are right about Ricky's ribs.

"And you can put that parasol away, bum-bum" was Ricky singing his rhyming line when Lucy wanted her "swan song" from show business by singing "Strolling in the Park" with a parasol hiding her ballooning belly.

"There is no room for levity here, however weak."

I'm just guessing, but I'd say that that line was from the supervisor at the candy company when Lucy made a joke.

You're right. It was the girls' boss at the candy factory.

"Don't shoot 'til you see the whites of their eyes!!!"

One of the Four-- Lucy, I think-- as they were expecting the "revolutionairies," the new tenants, to storm their apartment. Then, as the door buzzer rang, they all blasted the door, and it was the police sergeant :lol: .

"No, you can't go in there!-- you ain't an employee!"

The man at the laundry yelled that when Ricky and Lucy tried to sneak in to retrieve their half of the bonus buck.


"Hark, do I hear a footfall? Is that you Don Juan?"

Lucy, playing the woman in Ricky's screen test for Don Juan. It wasn't the greatest test scene, but on looking back, Lucy actually helped.

"Lady, even if you pasted it all together and taught it to walk, we couldn't take it back."

The delivery man from Johnson's Meat Company (resuming play again after another lag).

"Noww, Nancy, honey-- I told you not to go around a-tellin' people tha-at!"

Gee TDR,

I knew the answer to your previous quote but was waiting for someone else to answer it because I didn't want to look like a post hog! :eek:

I'm just going to take a guess at your last quote. Was it the Texan who sold the oil stock to the Mertzes?



"Gosh, how can someone so pretty on the outside be so sneaky on the inside?"

I believe it was said by Bobby the hotel bellboy played by Bobby Jellison in the Cornel Wilde episode.

"Your name isn't Kinsey is it?"

Minnie Finch.
Okay, I'll wait maybe a month before answering my own question again to give more potential posters a chance.

"Now Eleanor, let's not be closed-minded... some of them are alright."

I'm sorry TDR, I didn't mean my post to be a knock on you answering your own quote. I know that if nobody replies for a few days the game's in danger of dying so ya gotta do what ya gotta do ;)

Is your last quote the two high society ladies whose club Lucy and Ethel were trying to join? They were referring to The Ricardos being in show business.



"And I'm sorry you're so fat you broke my glasses."

The last quote I believe was the couple who lived in the Connecticut house before the Ricardos moved in.

And the glasses quote I think was Fred? Sounds like him.

"Marion, stop cackling. I've been waiting 10 years for you to lay that egg."

Lucy in "Lucy Tells the Truth." I wonder if Bud Collier and Kitty Carlisle were watching.

"We looked every place but in the windsock."

Fred in Hollywood after they couldn't find Lucy's mother at the airport.


"AND DONNNN'TTT CALL BE STICKY FINGERS!!!"

Lucy in "Ricky and Fred are TV fans", to the idiot cop that thought her and Ethel were crooks.

"First the crash of '29, and now this!!!"

Fred in Monaco, or wherever they were staying near the Monte Carlo Casino, when he found out all that money in Ethel's suitcase belonged to Lucy.

"But I play baseball better than they play music."

Little Ricky when he didn't want to be a member of the band in Connecticut, the other members being his mother, Aunt Ethel and Uncle Fred.



"I'm surprised Aunt Sally has time to make pralines, she's so busy making signs."

Fred in Ohio, during the road trip to Hollywood, after seeing so many signs for (out-of-business) Aunt Sally's Pecan Pralines.

"I wonder if this bed stops in Chicago?"

Lucy while she and Ricky are in the bed located in the ratty old cabin they rented from Mr. Skinner; after too many trips across the floor on the bed due to passing trains.

"Oh goody, I just won 5 dollars from the engineer"

The train conducter on the trip back to NYC from Hollywood, after Lucy released the emergency brake for the umpteenth time after catching the jewel thief.

"Oh, goody goody gumdrops, 3 whole minutes just for ME!!!!"

Not positive, but I think that's Lucy on the cruise to Europe, when Ricky has such a demanding schedule and she wants a "second honeymoon."

"Could you possibly be suffering from... magnesia?"

Did Ricky say that when Lucy was pretending to have amnesia?



"Did you ever hear a piece of cheese burp?"

The lady seated next to Lucy on the plane back from Europe, as she was arguing with Lucy and Ricky that Lucy had a real baby with her. (And you are right about the amnesia quote.)

"Can't a man sit on the steps with his wife without somebody butting it?"

Fred to Lucy during his "second honeymoon" with Ethel on the cruise ship to Europe.

"I'm not a Majah-rincess, I'm a Henna-Rinse-ess!!!!"

I suppose that would be Lucy when she was planning to portray the
Majah-rincess of Franistan to get Ricky some publicity.



"You can get a parrot and teach it to nag you and throw your money away."

Fred in "Lucy Cries Wolf," while Lucy is outside on the ledge.

"Well, that's quite an honor, Ricky,....... but what am I going to do with your wife?"

Johnny Longden when Ricky presents him with the trophy that Lucy still has stuck on her head.

"Are you wet?"

Ethel asked that to Ricky as he was climbing back into the boat in Florida. He jumped in the the water to go after his fishing rod that Lucy snagged.

Although simple, that's one of my favorite lines of the entire series. I still laugh out loud when hearing it every time I watch the episode!




"I always name my pets after people I like."

Little Ricky when he's explaining why he named his new dog, Fred.



Paraphrasing: "Not me, I'm no fool; we might be saved."


BTW, regarding the "Are you wet." scene. I've always loved the look on Ethel's face she sees his reaction to her question." You never see his face, but that must've been quite a look he gives her.

Ricky, in the cabin in the Alps where they took refuge from the snow.

Yes, Ethel's "Are you wet," coupled with her expression, has got to be the most hilarious line of 3 words and 9 letters in the whole series.

"I've heard alot about her... from Bill Holden."

Okay, after 10 days, try another one.

"You couldn't be Lucille McGillicuddy-- she had brown hair."

I'd say the first one was said by John Wayne:

And the 2nd one was said by the doctor (Doc Peterson?) who delivered Lucy, while trying to determine Lucy's idenity by looking at her through the whole in the trunk in which she was locked.

"Me heap sorry, me smackem you on coco."

Lucy in the apartment after reading "Blood-curdling Indian Tales," which Ricky had been using as a reference for his new Indian-themed show, and 2 actors in Indian costume rang the doorbell. She and Ethel busted vases on their cocos [heads].

"You'd think you know what a woman looks like before you marry her, wouldn't you? ... Well, you've got a big surprise coming, my boy."

I think that was Ricky in the episode where Lucy's playing matchmaker to try to get their friends Sam and Dorothy together.



"Whoever put the dough in that boy used too much yeast."

Lucy describing Fred in his "shrunken" army outfit from WWI (they took their uniforms home?).

"I'm sorry, madam, but this is a Civil Service job-- if you want me fired, you'll have to wait till I die."

The man at the passport bureau; played to perfectin by Charles Lane. It was his response to Ethel's faux threat when he wouldn't bend the rules.

Apparently Ethel would've had a very long wait, when you consider that Charles Lane lived to be over 100 years old.

"Underwater all the way I presume."

i dont know who said that one, but i've one.

"Now, what was I doin' wrong?" hint: 132 lbs. - size 12 dress - season 1

i dont know who said that one, but i've one.

"Now, what was I doin' wrong?" hint: 132 lbs. - size 12 dress - season 1

I think it was Fred when he kept asking the same question and then Ethel asks the same question and gets a quick reply.

"Underwater all the way I presume."

I think that was Orson Welles' reply to Lucy when she told him she was going to Florida when she met him at the store. Lucy was trying on a snorkel and flippers at the time!



"Si, macho grasa."

I think that was Orson Welles' reply to Lucy when she told him she was going to Florida when she met him at the store. Lucy was trying on a snorkel and flippers at the time!"

Correct.


"Si, macho grasa."

Lucy attempting to speak Spanish to Ricky's Uncle Alberto; IRIC she's calling him a "big fat pig" in Spanish.
(Not the best way to make a good impression to the head of Ricky's family.)



"You mean I could've gotten out of all this by taking you to a movie?"

Ricky after Lucy said she wasn't sure if he was asking her to marry him or go to a movie at the time Ricky proposed to her.

(paraphrasing) "I've seen you two come up with some wild schemes in your time, but this is regular Bellevue bait!!!!"

Fred, as he hears Lucy and Ethel talking about how they are going to steal John Wayne's footprints from Grauman's.

"Is a tuna, by any chance, a flying fish?"

I think it was Fred when he kept asking the same question and then Ethel asks the same question and gets a quick reply.
absolutely right. one of my favorite scenes

"Is a tuna, by any chance, a flying fish?"

Ricky, I think, after he found Lucy and Ethel's fish in the hotel bathtub in Miami.

"Please, let me sit down. This is making me sick!!"

Ricky, at the "Mr and Mrs. Quiz" radio show, meaning what he said, but correctly answering the bonus question by mistake (uh, yeah).

"I would be glad to go first-- but I have already eaten."

Unofficial 10-day limit expired... it was the waiter at the French restaurant in the French Revue episode.

"Well, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you, Mr. Ricardo."

That last one was tough. I couldn't remember where the quote was from until you gave the answer and then said, "Of course!"

"Well, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you, Mr. Ricardo."

Was this said by the cop at the police station played by Frank Nelson when Lucy and Ethel got arrested while the boys were watching the fight on TV?



"I found a peach on the beach in Atlantic City..."

Barney Kurtz?

"I found a peach on the beach in Atlantic City..."

It's either Barney Kurtz (as someone else guessed), or Fred Mertz-- or both, in that song in the performance.

"Oh, that's when you want someone to do something, but you don't want them to know you want them to do that something, so you think of something else. Then when they're doing that something else they think you wanted them to do, they're really doing that something you wanted them to do but didn't want them to know you wanted them to do it."
[If you don't quickly recognize that, you haven't been an ILL fan very long.]

Ethel?




Oh, I'm just kidding - it's Lucy!

"Well, I bought you a pair of rubber gloves, didn't I?"

Ricky? While I don't remember that particular quote, I do remember once when Lucy and Ethel were hinting about getting an automatic dishwasher, he said to Fred, "They want us to buy them a pair of rubber gloves."

"He's probably an office boy-- took him a whole month to save up to go to lunch at Twenty-one once."

That was Ricky, when Lucy wouldn't tell him that she had lunch with television producer Harvey Cromwell.



"Oh, I should have known you were from Albuquerque; you're so warm and friendly."

Ethel, in regard to Betty Ramsey, whom she had previously scoffed at for being aloof.

"Do you think Schary would go for a gag like that? I hear he's pretty bright."

Either Ethel or Lucy's mom, when Don Juan was shelved.

"Well, hello George, long time no see."

That sounds like Lucy looking at a dollar bill in the episode where Ricky hires a business manager.




"I may never go back to NBC."

Bob Hope. (The Dory Schary quote was by Dory himself, played substitutionally by Phil Ober).

"He's a regular little cupie doll, he is!"

Hm .. it seems like something Ethel would say .. I haven't heard that particular quote, or, most likely, I just don't remember it. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Ethel?

Lucyeth's,

The quote was said by either one of the bathing beauties in Miami that was in the contest Ricky and Fred were judging, or one of the models in Hollywood that were taking publicity pictures with Ricky; I can't remember which. I do remember the girl who said that had a Southern accent.






"It looks like a bad dream you had after eating too much Chinese food."

Lucy. I remember her seeing Carolyn Appleby's new Chinese Modern furniture and said the quote. I still get the giggles at it!

"By spending it in Florida."

I may well be wrong, but I will guess that was said in the Orson Wells episode, in which Lucy was campaigning to go to Florida; probably by Lucy.

"Landlady-- my tub's running over."

Hm ... I'm thinking Elsa Lanchester, but I could be wrong.

And you were right, it was by Lucy from Lucy Meets Orson Welles.

Lucyeth's,

You were so close. You had the right episode, but it was Lucy that said that. Remember they thought Mrs. Grundy was the hatchet murderer and Lucy tried using the bathtub running over as an excuse to get her to stop the car so she could call the police.

Because of that episode I always wondered what a watercress sandwich tasted like, but I don't like buttered grass so I never tried one!



"Now that you own the works, don't you think that you would like this nice gray metal cover to keep it from getting dirty?"

I knew it was Off to Florida, but I forgot which lady said it!

And your quote was said by Mr. Martin from Sales Resistance - I just watched it last night.

"Well, shake hands with your bride."

That was Ethel, in response to Lucy saying a picture of Lucy made her look like Frankenstein (the monster); I think this is another from the passport episode.

"...there's one good thing about this place-- it's here!"

Ricky during the trip to Hollywood, after the gang wound up back at that dump owned by Mr. Skinner (thanks to the sign he put up).

"200 soles were lost!!!"

I'm thinking Lucy, but I could be wrong.

Yes, that's Lucy in one of the early eps, stealing the punchlines in a performance for Ethels' club, which were supposed to be Ricky's lines. The first line was "Did you hear about the big fire at the shoe factory?" but Lucy was ready and said "I'll bet some heel started it." So then Ricky told she was supposed to say "What happened?" "Huh?" said Lucy. "WHAT HAPPENED?" repeated Ricky. Then she said "200 soles were lost." (that's a hard to keep straight for this game.)

"Well, I don't know whether to thank you or punch you in the nose."

Ricky - speaking to the Doctor that delivered Lucy in the episode where Lucy is trying to find her birth certificate so she can get her passport. Lucy is locked in the trunk.

"Well, i'll be a monkey's uncle"

Fred, I believe.

"Do you think that if a person makes a promise, he should keep it?"

Lucy

"I've never been any farther than Youngstown, Ohio"

I believe Lucy's Mother wrote that to Lucy in the letter she sent when she wanted to go to California with Lucy and Ricky.





"Yes, I step on the wrong gear."

Fred, echoing Ricky's line about how he wrecked that old motorcycle he bought when he thought Ricky had "dumped" them in Hollywood with no back seat to ride home in.

"Is THAT what you've got in these bags?'

I'm thinking Fred, but I don't know.

Ricky, I think.

"Well, if he was brave, clean and thrifty, he'd be a boy scout."

Ethel.

"You're talking nutsy cookoo."

Van Johnson said Lucy talked nutsy cookoo when she was pleading to rehearse with him.



"Look, we're ladies, we want to go overseas, and boy do we need aid!"

Lucy, justifying to Ethel the idea of operating a raffle to get their money to go to Europe, and the phony (they thought) name they made up for a charitable organization.

"Hi .... who shot him?"

Lucy.
"Almost any idiot."

The last quote was actually Fred, and the above quote I'm pretty sure was Ricky.

"Mary's all right, but every Tom, Dick and Harry's named John."

Lucy, going over her fickle list of names for the baby. It seems interesting that Lucy was constantly changing her mind on that, while Ricky said any names were fine, and then he ended up being Ricky Ricardo, Jr.

"Well, if you don't mind my saying so, that's doing it the hard way."

Mrs. Trumball, when she sees Lucy and Ethel on opposite sides of the washing machine; each trying to push it to the other one's apartment. IRIC this is also the one and only time we hear Mrs. Trumball addressed by her first name, Matilda; actually "Aunt" Matilda; by her nephew.

"You can always teach it to nag ya and throw your money away."

Fred, pretending to trash Lucy after they find out her scheme in "Lucy Cries Wolf".

"Is it dyed?"

I believe that was Mrs. Grundy during the trip to Florida, while each thought the other was the hatchet murderess. The part where Ethel yells "WHO DIED??!!!" cracks me up everytime. :lol:

"Common sense has nothing to do with it. When I say he's wrong, HE'S WRONG."

Ethel. That line cracks me up everytime -- I can imagine saying it myself!

"It really is her birthday!"

Was that said by Giuseppe the shoe shine kid in Italy?



"Ventriloquism? Oh, ventrillloquisssmmmm."

Yes, that was said by the shoe shine kid in Italy.

Uhm .. I'm going to guess Ricky? I'm not entirely sure.

It was said by Bobby the bellboy in the Cornell Wilde episode. I bet you would have known if you could have heard it, but trying to write that quote so it's recognizable was difficult. I wonder how it was written in the script?

Let me try another one:

"I make better music when I file my nails."

Ethel, I think referring to Fred playing the fiddle in the Ragtime Band eppy.

"Oh, sue her, sue her. Get your mind out of the gutter."

Lucy, referring to Ethel saying "sue her" when the idea comes up about her book.

"What is this?"

Uh, Fred? That's kind of a broad one.

(double quote)

"$8, $16, who CARES?!!"

"Oh, he IS tired."

Fred did say that -- how'd you guess?

Those quotes were said by Fred & Ethel.

"Let's play cards."

Seems like there is more than one "Let's play cards" quotation, but I'm thinking it's Ricky in "Lucy Cries Wolf," and Lucy replies, "I don't think I want to play with people who make fun of me."

"...and I understand she wears nothing but black-lace lingerie-- what are you doing?"

That was Lucy on the tour bus in Hollywood; a great scene!



"Aunt who's old what salad which?"

Lucy as the "average housewife" from the audience during the first commercial for "Aunt Martha's Old Fashioned Salad Dressing". The first one was funny, but the second one was hilarious!!!

(this one may not be exact)

"If I stay on this hunger strike much longer, I'll be as fat as a pig."

Lucy! I just watched that episode earlier today, one of my favorites!

"Oh, it was a mess."

I'm pretty sure it was Lucy trying to explain to the boarder guard, who just came on duty, what had happened with her passport.

"We looked everywhere but the windsock."

That was Fred's wise guy comment after they couldn't find Lucy's mother at the Los Angeles airport.



"There's a switch. For once the bull will be full of Lucy."

Ethel, as she and Fred find out that Lucy, promised a part in Ricky's Heart Fund TV presentation, will play the bull that Ricky, as the matador, fights.

"Well, Sam, if that's how she feels, then give her back her nasty lil'ol money!"

After 10 days...
It was "Nancy Johnson," the wife of the Texas oil baron from whom they bought oil stock.

"Well, swallow it now and chew it later."

Did Ricky say that to Lucy in the restaurant when Lucy was stalling because she bought the wrong theater tickets?




"It isn't too much trouble for a fan like you, Mrs. Ricardo."

Correct for the previous.
And that sounds like John Wayne after Lucy thanking him for coming to redo his footprint block; though I think he said "Nothing is too much trouble for a fan like you, Mrs. Ricardo."

"Is it sup-POsed to do that?"

Ethel said that after Lucy pumped the jack up through the fender when they were changing a tire on the way to Florida. I loved Lucy's mocking reply, "No, it isn't supposed to do that."


"do you Ouija?"

Well, uh, I'm not sure. Oh yeah, that was Mr. Merriweather, the Broadway producer, who was into occultic junk and was considering Ricky for a new show.

"That's easy. Stay up late; don't eat right; get circles under your eyes; and read nothing but the racing forms."

Fred's response to Lucy after she asked how to act like "one of the boys" in Ricky's band.

"Well, that's keen. I'm Phoebe Krausfeld's husband and it's still no dice."

Ethel.

New quote: "Open it..I was going to lock it."

Ethel.

New Quote: "Open it...I was going to lock it."

Fred but I can't I think of what episode.

John, As I was saying "nobody can have too many friends".

"Well, that's keen. I'm Phoebe Krausfeld's husband and it's still no dice."

Since this quote was guessed incorrectly, I'll give it away: It was the usher at Yankee Stadium to Lucy while she was trying to see Bob Hope.

And the quote above was from the play in "Ethel's Birthday".

'Wouldn't you like to see me die?"

Lucy in the episode where she plays a chorus girl wearing a huge hat going down the stairs. One of Hollywood episode.

"It looks crummy because it is crummy."

Fred, in response to Ethel's evaluation of their apartment that it "looks crummy." I think it's in the ep in which they paint and reupholster.

"This is the last music she will ever hear-- so make it sweet."

Ricky said as Lucy was "turning green from the goobloots disease. It came in on the hind legs of the booshoot bird.


New Quote:
"remember I'm the one with the kind face"

Or "Anytime Mrs Ricardo, anytime."

The first one was Lucy, I think, while rehearsing "Slowly I Turn". The second one I don't know.

"I feel like I'm breaking out of prison!!"

Fred, after Ricky snapped that line attached to their car when they were sneaking out of the cabin in Ohio [they didn't have to pay in advance in those days?].

"He makes everybody mad; he's about as popular around here as a skunk at a picnic."

Cousin Ernie in jail talking about the Bent Fork Sheriff.



"Why, hellllooooo there. I didn't see you come in."

Ricky, at the beginning of the TV show, "Breakfast with Ricky and Lucy."

"If I'd known I was gonna have my picture taken I'd have dressed up a little."

I believe it was Lucy, but I could be wrong. I think I recall Ricky saying something similar so my "Lucy" guess is just a lark.

Or "Anytime Mrs Ricardo, anytime."[/QUOTE]


No one has guessed so I will tell you.

the milkman on leaving Lucy's bedroom on the Gossip episode.
Lucy said you and Mr Foster did a wonderful job and the milkman said
Anytime Mrs Richardo, Anytime.

"If I'd known I was gonna have my picture taken I'd have dressed up a little."

I'm guessing Lucy as well.

"Sure I've been taking things, but he thinks I've been taking things!"

Was that Lucy after she took Fred's Cuckoo clock and Ricky and Fred thought she was a kleptomaniac?





"I've got no use for these. I wanted a toaster."

Ethel complaining about the argyle slacks that Lucy bought for her birthday and said she could wear at smart dinner parties.

"If I'd known I was gonna have my picture taken I'd have dressed up a little" was Fred when Ricky had the reporter there early in the morning and he and Ethel dropped in all dressed up. "That's Mertz: M-E-R-T-Z."

New:
"I've forgotten the question!"

After 13 days... it was Ethel, at the beginning of the Carlota Romero episode, taking the 'marriage quiz,' because Lucy kept interrupting her turn asking Ricky about C.R.

"Well, you got a pretty good deal out of me-- I'll just have to make it up on the next customer."

That was the Handy-Dandy salesman if memory serves me correctly.

"I really must be going now."

(the above quote may be not entirely dialogue correct but it serves the same purporse as the original saying)

No, the previous one was not the Handy Dandy salesman, but 'Mr. Jenkins,' the 2nd-hand furniture dealer, who said that in such a way as to infer he says that to everyone he deals with.

For your new one, seems like several possibilities, but I will guess Lucy after she managed to get hold of the answers to the quizz show in Freddy Fillmore's office.

Latest:
"Surely you didn't mean five dollars!"

Lucy's high society friend (I forgot her name) collecting for charity in the episode where Lucy and Ethel play women from Mars.



"Well, you could go out some night to buy a pack of cigarettes and not come back for three weeks."




I'm going to guess Lucyeth's last quote is Bobby the bellboy in Cornell Wilde's room.

Fred to Ricky, just before the trip to Europe.

And I'm gonna guess Lucyeth's quote was said by Caroline Appleby in the club election episode.

"Has she ever considered acting?!!"

Ricky, Fred, and Ethel, in unison, on the train to Rome in response to director Victorio Felipe's question to Lucy, "Have you ever considered acting?"

"...be sure your 'muchos gracias' him all over the place."

Lucy: Lamely explaining to Ricky why Tom Henderson (actually a mannequin) separated at the waist while she was holding him.

"Gee, you're keen"

That would be Peggy from the episode "the Young Fans", the girl who was star struck by Ricky.

"No I haven't been nipping at the cooking Sherry."

That's Ethel on the telephone, but I can't remember the episode or who she was talking to.

"The reasons is: you are lousy bridge players!"

That's Ethel on the telephone, but I can't remember the episode or who she was talking to.

"The reasons is: you are lousy bridge players!"

To answer your question tdr, that was the episode "Lucy raises tulips" and Ethel was talking to Grace Munson when Lucy was running amuck on the Ramsey's lawn mower and Ethel was trying to tell her what happened.

As for your quote, I'm thinking it was the episode where Ricky is to appear on the TV show face to face and they all argue about the Ricardos moving to a nicer apartment so they start an arguement about the card playing? Not sure though.

"I'm afraid I owe Bill Holden an apology."

I originally thought John Wayne said that to Ricky, but now I'm second guessing myself and think it could have been Richard Widmark. I'll stick with my original guess and say John Wayne.





"I'm the fly in the ointment."

"...owe Bill Holden an apology" definitely was John Wayne.
But "I'm the fly in the ointment" ... striking out an explanation which led me to Ethel, I now think it was Lucy's mother when the Mertzes told her they were not going to California after all.

"Not to MY ear it doesn't!"

Lucy in I think the dress shop episode.

"I got wind of it!!!"

Fred said that, and all I remember about it is Lucy edited that quote of Fred's onto the end of Ricky's home movie. "This has been a Ricky Ricardo poduction... I got wind of it"





"Be careful or you'll step on the brain's toes, fingers."

It had to be either Lucy or Ethel, when they and Fred ["Fingers"] were posing as gangsters to try to get the deposit back on the Connecticut house. I think it was Lucy.

"Oh, he's the guy who twists the lion's tail when they want him to go 'RRRR-RRRR!'"

Fred finally said that when Lucy's mother kept asking who's Dore Schary.




"If I had known this is what friends are for I'd have signed up as an enemy."

Ethel... I think as she just consented to help Lucy disassemble the barbecue in trying to find Lucy's ring.
(The previous one, more specifically, is Fred's reply to Lucy's mother's continual question of just what important thing Dore Schary does at MGM.)

"Isn't it awful? It's like smelling a rose and getting stung by a bee."

Ethel said that, I think to Bobby the bellboy when he commented how Lucy was so pretty on the outside and so sneaky on the inside.



"I love buttered grass."

Lucy on the auto trip to Miami, when the driver didn't tell them to bring their own lunch and she shared her watercress sandwiches. Lucy sneered at them as "buttered grass," but when Ethel was going to take hers, she said that.

"Landlady, my tub's running over."

Lucy to Ethel from the same episode. Lucy's looking for an excuse to stop and say she wants to call her landlady to tell her her tub's running over and when Elsa Lanchester's character says about Ethel "I thought you said she was your landlady," Lucy says the line. Another cool thing about that episode is a very young Strother Martin plays the counterman at the diner.

"About 10 days."

Ricky, in one of my favorite eps, "Lucy Cries Wolf," when they know Lucy is listening to them on the ledge, and Ricky is saying how long the "respectable amount of time" should be before he remarries, since Lucy is 'gone.'

"I can't 'splain it, but he's a swell guy!"

I think that was Mr. Livermore (played by Hans Conried) in the episode whare he tries to teach the Ricardos and Mertzes proper diction.







"You mean there's nothing like a good book IN a roaring fire." (may not be an exact quote).

Ethel, as they are burning Lucy's manuscript in "Lucy Writes a Novel."

"...I know something-- and I've got to tell someone!"

Mrs. Trumball, while thinking Lucy was "Madam X" after seeing her sneaking out of the Mertz' apartment with something (can't remember exactly what).

And the roaring fire quote was actually Ricky.

"Boy, you sure are better than Herman Shlup!" (guessing on the spelling)

Lucy to Orson Wells after he quoted some of Romeo's lines, in comparison to the guy who played Romeo in Lucy's school production.

"I don't want to play with them any more."
