Ricky quotes from I Love Lucy

Ethel

Sing something.

Ricky

I couldn't.

Lucy

Let's neck.

Ricky

Wait a minute, I'll sing.

Lucy

Ethel and I are going dancing at the Copa.

Ricky

I hope one of you knows how to lead.

Ricky

Everybody knows you can get around a lady with a little sweet talk.

Fred

That's alright for Lucy, but it's a little longer trip around Ethel.

Ricky

That's the reason I married you - because you're so different than anyone I've known in Cuba.

Lucy

Who'd you know in Cuba?

Lucy

[looks at cards] My, this is a problem.

Ricky

Honey, please, you're holding up the game.

Lucy

Well, I can't decide whether to throw away my two queens or my three kings.

Lucy

Lets see, it was either the upstairs maid, or the butler, or the cook.

Ricky

It was her husband.

Lucy

Her husband? He didn't have any reason to do it.

Ricky

He was married, wasn't he?

Ricky

[feigning sleep] Grace Foster is running away with...

Lucy

Don't stop now! Go on!

Ricky

Grace Foster is running away with the milkman.

Lucy

Milkman?

Ricky

[still feigning sleep] Uh-huh.

Lucy

Go on, go on.

Ricky

Grace Foster y el lechero se van a salir juntos y...

Lucy

In English! In English!

Ricky

Grace Foster is running away with the milkman, and her husband doesn't suspect anything.

Lucy

Go on.

Ricky

That is all.

Lucy

[whenever Ricky stages a new show] Can I be in the show?

Ricky

No!

Lucy

It's my mad money.

Ricky

There's over $200 here.

Lucy

Well, I get awfully mad.

Lucy

"Butter? What do you want butter for?

Ricky

I wanted to put some on my bread.

Lucy

Butter? On bread? I'll never get used to your crazy Cuban dishes.

Ricky

[reading to Ethel from a script Lucy wrote] Is there something wrong with your lover?

Lucy

LIVER!

Ethel

[later on, to Ricky] I think you go out to meet your liver.

Lucy

LOVER!

Ricky

What do you know about rice?

Fred

Well, I had it thrown at me on one of the darkest days of my life.

Ricky

How do spell "s'perience"?

Lucy

E-x-p...

Ricky

E-x? You're kidding?

Ricky

15 years.

And they call me Superman!

(from Jamestown) Hello, Mr. Ricardo. I'm the man who brought your wife into the world!

Ricky

I don't know whether to thank you or punch you in the nose!
