Quotes
-
Charlie Appleby : [Lucy's frenemy, Caroline, and her husband, Charlie, are showing off photos of their baby] You know, from the moment he was born, Little Stevie was perfectly shaped, *absolutely* handsome!
Caroline Appleby : That's right.
[makes an ugly face]
Caroline Appleby : You know how most babies are, all red, and pinched, and funny looking.
Charlie Appleby : Yeah... say, how is Little Ricky, anyway?
Ricky Ricardo , Ethel Mertz : WHAT?
Caroline Appleby : Lucy! Charlie didn't mean that Little Ricky was all red, and pinched, and funny looking. He outgrew that, didn't he?
-
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!
