Lucille Ball: Lucy Ricardo

Quotes 

• Ricky Ricardo : How can we spend so much money? Listen to this: heating bill, $52; telephone, $23; electric bill, $18.75; water $16. How are we gonna pay all these bills?

  Lucy Ricardo : Now, Honey, you don't have to pay 'em all at once. Look, look, I got a system. See - we put 'em all on the Lazy Susan, like this, see, just like that. Now, we spin it around and any bill that stays on gets paid. See - the lucky winner is the Connecticut Light and Power Company.

  Ricky Ricardo : Lucy, we can't pay our bills by spinning them around on a Lousy Susan.

  Lucy Ricardo : It's a 'Lazy Susan'.

  Ricky Ricardo : Well, whatever it is.

• Ricky Ricardo : [when Ricky comes home, he finds the living room floor covered with baby chicks, and the heat up to 90 degrees]  Well, I'd like to think I got into the wrong house, but I know I din't.

  Lucy Ricardo : No, you din't.

  Ethel Mertz : Well, Rick, y'see, Lucy and I bought five hundred baby chicks.

  Lucy Ricardo : Yeah, aren't they cute, Honey?

  Ricky Ricardo : [impatiently]  Adorable! But what are they doin' here?

  Fred Mertz : Well, we had to bring 'em into the house because these two Dumb Doras didn't know that you have to keep baby chicks in brooders.

  Ricky Ricardo : Why, anybody knows that you have to keep baby chicks in a brooder. What's a brooder?
