“Son-in-Law Dearest” · Season 2, Episode 23

In this episode: Blanche Devereaux (4), Dorothy Zbornak (3), Rose Nylund (3), Sophia Petrillo (1)

[Blanche fills the entire coffee table with many different snacks from the kitchen.]

A few more snacks like that and the only thing you'll be able to fit into is a saddle.

I'm not gonna eat all of this at once, Sophia. There's an I Love Lucy marathon on tonight. I'm setting up for 12 straight hours of classic TV.

I never cared for that show. Every single episode, Lucy said the same thing. "Ricky, why can't I be in the show? Ricky, why can't I be in the show?" Why couldn't she be in the show? The woman was a riot at home. His show at the club stank. What's so entertaining about a Cuban beating a drum?

[Blanche and Rose are on the couch watching an I Love Lucy marathon. Ending music plays.]

You know, I'm still a little confused. Who exactly is Ricky?

Lucy's husband.

I thought Desi was Lucy's husband.

Not on the show.

Desi wasn't on the show?

Desi played Ricky!

Who did Lucy play?

Lucy.

I know, but who did she play?

Lucy!

Right, but who did she play?

Lucy played Lucy!

Well, then why didn't Desi play Desi?

He wasn't tall enough.

And do not call me Mother Dorothy. I hate it when you call me Mother Dorothy! I feel like I should be handing out rice on the streets of Calcutta!

[referring to her daughter and son-in-law in the kitchen] How long have they been in there?

Since Lucy went to Scotland!

That would make it over thirty years, Rose.

Oh, I remember when Stanley told me he was having an affair. It was at least 24 hours before I cut the crotches out of all his slacks.

You didn't!

I was teaching English Lit at the time. Symbolism was my life.
