Quotes 

• Lucy Ricardo : Now, what about boys your own age?

  Peggy : Oh, they're all so icky.

  Lucy Ricardo : They're icky, huh?

  Peggy : Yeah. Except Arthur... Arthur Morton. He's wonderful. He's got curly hair, big, sad eyes, and floppy ears. He looks like Gregory Peck.

  Lucy Ricardo : Sounds more like Lassie!

• Arthur : But... You're a woman.

  Lucy Ricardo : Yes, my husband likes me that way.

• Ricky Ricardo : Why are we whispering?

  Lucy Ricardo : If my feet find out this was my idea, they'll kill me.

• Ricky Ricardo : [Finds Lucy soaking her feet]  What's the matter?

  Lucy Ricardo : I gave Arthur a dancing lesson.

  Ricky Ricardo : Arthur? Arthur who?

  Lucy Ricardo : Believe me, it wasn't Arthur Murray!

• Peggy : I can't believe this whole thing! Why, I just saw you at rehearsal yesterday, dancing around and beating your conga drum.

  Ricky Ricardo : Oh, yes. Well, I'm glad you saw that. That was my farewell performance.

  Lucy Ricardo : Yeah, he's ba-ba'd his last lu.

• Lucy Ricardo : [trying to discourage teenage neighbor Peggy from her infatuation with Ricky]  Well, there's a little thing you overlooked, Peggy. Ricky is married.

  Peggy : I know. Doesn't that make it sophisticated!

  Lucy Ricardo : Well, yes.

  Peggy : And he's so much more worldly than the boys I know.

  Lucy Ricardo : Well, I should hope so. He's a little older, too.

  Peggy : I know. He's middle-aged!

  Lucy Ricardo : What?

  Peggy : He must be pushing 23.

  Lucy Ricardo : Yeah, he's pushing 23 all right. In fact, he's pushed it all the way to 35. I suppose you think that I'm pushing 23, too?

  Peggy : Oh, no. A woman can always tell another woman's age.

  Lucy Ricardo : Yes, well, now about Ricky. You know, there's another thing you overlooked, Peggy.

  Peggy : What?

  Lucy Ricardo : I love him, too.

  Peggy : I was afraid of that. You're gonna be terrific competition.

  Lucy Ricardo : Well, thanks.

  Peggy : Gosh, you've got that 'certain something'.

  Lucy Ricardo : Well, that's... that's quite a compliment. But how would a girl your age know that I have that 'certain something'?

  Peggy : I can tell by the way my mother looks at my father when my father looks at you.

• Peggy : Do you still know how to dance?

  Lucy Ricardo : [insulted]  I think I can recall a few variations on the Turkey Trot.
