Quotes 

• Orson Welles : How many albums would you like?

  Ethel Mertz : Well I'd like one. Just autograph it to Ethyl Mertz, please. I'd take two, only we haven't got a phonograph.

• Lucy Ricardo : I think you're the greatest Shakespearean actor in the whole world. I think you're better than John Gielgud. I think you're better than Maurice Evans. I think you're better than Sir Ralph Richardson.

  Orson Welles : You left out Laurence Olivier.

• Orson Welles : Why don't we do my favorite scene?

  Lucy Ricardo : What's that?

  Orson Welles : "For fear of that, I still will stay with thee; And never from this palace of dim night depart again"

  Lucy Ricardo : Oh, that one. Well I'm already dead in that scene.

  Orson Welles : Yes.

• Orson Welles : "Here's to my love! O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die."

  Lucy Ricardo : Boy, you're a lot better than Herman Schlupp.

• Orson Welles : The princess is in a state of trance.

  Lucy Ricardo : "O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?"

• Orson Welles : Apparently the princess is not in a deep enough condition of trance.

  [waves his hand over her eyes and claps] 

  Orson Welles : Now the princess will feel nothing and definitely speak nothing.

  Lucy Ricardo : "O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?"
