William Frawley: Fred Mertz

Quotes 

• Mrs. Trumbull : [welcoming the Ricardos and Mertzes back to New York]  Look at the baby. He's almost as big as I am.

  Ricky Ricardo : Well, that's the California climate, you know. Everything grows bigger out there.

  Fred Mertz : Yeah, look at Ethel.

• Ricky Ricardo : [Lucy is told that Ricky is something special now that he's a movie star, and Ricky is annoyed]  What about her? She shines my shoes, she answers my fan mail, she, she, she runs all my errands for me, she follows me around like a... like a little puppy. She thinks I'm a... she's treating me like if I was a big movie star. I want to be treated like a husband.

  Fred Mertz : What an awful thing to say.

  Ricky Ricardo : Now, look, Fred, I gotta snap her out of it. You got any ideas?

  Fred Mertz : Nope. Getting Ethel to stop being nice to me is a problem I've never had to face.

• Fred Mertz : Fred: You mean that furnace was ON for two weeks?
