Quotes 

• Fred Mertz : [Fred and Ethel aren't speaking, Fred blames Lucy, and he is eating alone in the living room as Lucy and Ricky knock on the door]  Come in.

  Lucy Ricardo : Hello, Fred.

  Fred Mertz : [less than enthusiastic]  Oh, it's you.

  Ricky Ricardo : What's that you're eating?

  Fred Mertz : My breakfast.

  Ricky Ricardo : A bottle of beer and a salami sandwich?

  Fred Mertz : Well, it's the only thing I know how to cook. Ethel has locked herself in the bedroom and won't come out.

  Lucy Ricardo : Well, that's why we're here, Fred. I have a plan that'll fix everything.

  Fred Mertz : Please. From now on, your channel doesn't come in on my set.

  Lucy Ricardo : He'll listen to you, Ricky. You tell him I have a wonderful plan that won't cost him a cent.

  Ricky Ricardo : My scatterbrained wife has another half-witted scheme, and if you listen to it, you're out of your mind.

  Lucy Ricardo : Boy, did I suffer in that translation!
