Ricky Ricardo : How much rice do you think we should use for four people?
Fred Mertz : I don't know. People do like that stuff.
Ricky Ricardo : How does one pound per person sound?
Fred Mertz : Sounds about right.
Ricky Ricardo : That's good because that's what I put in: four pounds.

Ricky Ricardo : What have you got there?
Fred Mertz : I brought my cake. Seven layers of luscious Devil's Food. Wait til you see it.
[Fred takes off the cake cover to reveal a cake barely one inch thick]
Ricky Ricardo : What happened to the other six layers?
Fred Mertz : They're all there. Some just... didn't rise very much.
Ricky Ricardo : Well you can put on a lot of frosting.
Fred Mertz : What do you mean "put on"? The frosting's already in it.
Ricky Ricardo : In it?
Fred Mertz : Yeah, I mixed it all up before I baked the cake.
Ricky Ricardo : Well, maybe you should wait until breakfast and serve it as a pancake.
Fred Mertz : Oh never mind!
