Quotes 

• Ricky Ricardo : [in the hospital 'waitings fathers room', as he calls it, Ricky meets Mr Stanley, who is calmly reading a magazine and eating an apple]  My wife is gonna have a baby.

  Mr. Stanley : Oh.

  Ricky Ricardo : Are you 'specting?

  Mr. Stanley : Yep.

  Ricky Ricardo : You don't seem very excited.

  Mr. Stanley : Nope.

  Ricky Ricardo : Is this your first?

  Mr. Stanley : My last!

• Lucy Ricardo : [pregnant Lucy tries to convince Ricky not to worry about her, and go to the club for his opening night]  Now, Ricky, it's the only sensible thing to do. I insist that you go to the club.

  Ricky Ricardo : Oh, all right, honey, if that's what you want me to do, I'll... I'll go to the club. Hey, honey, will you do something for me?

  Lucy Ricardo : Anything, dear, what is it?

  Ricky Ricardo : [checking his watch]  Well, look, I don't have to be at the club until 8:00. That gives you three and a half hours.

  Lucy Ricardo : [with a touch of sarcasm]  I'll do the best I can!

  Ricky Ricardo : As a matter of fact, you know, I don't go on stage 'til 9:00. I can get there in fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes to make up... you can have 'til 8:30.

  Lucy Ricardo : Thank you!
