Quotes 

• Ricky Ricardo : What are you gonna do?

  Lucy Ricardo : Oh, I kinda want to get off by myself, you know, feel the pulse of the city, get the true flavor of Paris.

  Ricky Ricardo : Honey, you can't go running around Paris all by yourself... Paris is a big city, and not knowing the language, you're liable to get into a lot of trouble.

  Lucy Ricardo : Oh, pooh. When you first came to the United States, you didn't get into a lot of trouble because you didn't know the language, did you?

  Ricky Ricardo : I'm married, aren't I?

  [to Fred and Ethel] 

  Ricky Ricardo : She told me that "I do" meant "Pleased to meet you" and then she introduced me to the preacher.

• Lucy Ricardo : Ricky, I'm in the Bastille!

• Lucy Ricardo : Waiter, this food has snails in it!

• Ethel Mertz : [on arrival in Paris]  Lucy, I'm so excited I don't think I can stand it.

  Lucy Ricardo : Oh, honey, I feel the same way.

  Fred Mertz : What a town! Hasn't changed a bit. Everything is exactly the same as it was in 1918.

  Ethel Mertz : Present company excepted!

• Lucy Ricardo : [on seeing her escargot, she tries but fails to eat it]  Maybe if I had some ketchup.

  Waiter : Sauce tomate?

  Lucy Ricardo : Yeah, sauce tomate.

  [the waiter goes to the kitchen, hardly believing his ears] 

  Lucy Ricardo : Lots of it!

  Lucy Ricardo : [while the waiter is away, Lucy picks up a snail and talks to it]  I think an American cousin of yours ate my geranium plant.

  Chef : [the chef comes out to Lucy's table, furious]  C'est ridicule, absolument ridicule. Sauce tomate!...

  Chef and Waiter, together : [Lucy pays the 400 francs for the meal, but the waiter and chef return, calling for the police]  Gendarme... gendarme...

  Lucy Ricardo : Gendarme? POLICE?

  Waiter : Oui, police, madame!

  Lucy Ricardo : Since when is it a crime to put ketchup on snails?

  Chef : C'est monnaie contrefait.
