Lucille Ball: Lucy Ricardo

Quotes 

• Ricky Ricardo : [Ricky and Lucy are looking through a new set of photographs of Little Ricky]  Oh, these pictures are good enough to be on the cover of a magazine!

  Lucy Ricardo : What magazine, Body Beautiful?

  [holds up a cut-off photo of Little Ricky, nude] 

• Lucy Ricardo : [Frenemies Lucy and Caroline are sitting with their babies on their laps]  Uh, my, Stevie's grown a lot since I last saw him.

  Caroline Appleby : Oh, yeah, he's really shooting up.

  Lucy Ricardo : Oh, yes. When do you think he'll reach normal size?

  Caroline Appleby : He's exactly the size he's supposed to be. He just SEEMS small to you since you're so used to looking at little fatty here.

  Lucy Ricardo : FATTY?

  Caroline Appleby : Oh, yes, I just love chubby, puffy little boys.

  [rubs Little Ricky's cheek] 

  Caroline Appleby : Oh, Ricky, you're gonna have to go on a diet or you'll grow up to look like your mommy!

• Caroline Appleby : [Frenemies Lucy and Caroline are talking about their babies]  No... he put two words together for the first time!

  Lucy Ricardo : Not until today?

  Caroline Appleby : Oh, don't tell me that Little Ricky has ever put two words together.

  Lucy Ricardo : Why certainly, dear.

  Caroline Appleby : I don't mean da-da.

  Lucy Ricardo : Of course not.

  Caroline Appleby : Has he ever said "morning, Mommy?"

  Lucy Ricardo : In English or Spanish?

  Caroline Appleby : [Incredulous]  He speaks Spanish?

  Lucy Ricardo : Only when he's mad.

  [like his father] 

• Caroline Appleby : [Lucy is getting ready to leave]  Oh... that is a smart suit you're wearing!

  Lucy Ricardo : Oh, do you like it?

  Caroline Appleby : [Sarcastic]  You know I always have.

  Lucy Ricardo : I'd like my baby please. Where do you keep your child's cage?

  Caroline Appleby : Well! I just hope that little glutton of yours hasn't taught my Stevie any bad habits!

  Lucy Ricardo : That goes double!

  Caroline Appleby : My Little Stevie doesn't have any bad habits.

  Lucy Ricardo : I hope he doesn't copy any of his good habits, like scratching himself or peeling bananas with his FEET!

• Ricky Ricardo : [Ricky is very upset after Charlie tells him he can't be on the show]  Lucy, what did you say to Caroline?

  Lucy Ricardo : Nothing, nothing that should upset her. I just said that Little Stevie was scrawny and, and little and looked like a monkey.

  Ricky Ricardo : [Feigning happiness]  Oh, is that all?

  Lucy Ricardo : Yeah.

  Ricky Ricardo : [shouting]  What did you say that for! What did you say that for? Why do you have to go over there for, why don't you stay here where you belong? What are you trying to do to me!

  [long pause as Lucy thinks] 

  Ricky Ricardo : Well?

  Lucy Ricardo : I'm still working on "what did I say that for?"
