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] 

• 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?

• 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?"
