67->'''Lucy:''' [Dragging herself back up before falling down again] You're welcome.
68->'''Ricky:''' Geez! That's a powerful sleeping powder!
69->'''Lucy:''' [Standing up] Sleeping powder? Ha! The sleep from which no-one returns.

113->'''Lucy:''' Yeah, that's your name in numerology, I figured it out.
114->'''Ricky:''' Oh, no...
115->'''Lucy:''' You might be going through life with the wrong name. Hey, I better figure out the right one for you! Maybe if you're something besides Five, it'll help our vibration.
116->'''Ricky:''' Lucy!
117->'''Lucy:''' What?
118->'''Ricky:''' [Pretending to be hurt] Don't you like the way I vibrate?

121->'''Lucy:''' [to Ricky] She's a woman.
122->'''Ricky:''' I guess so.
123->'''Ethel:''' Well, thanks! Now that that's settled, how are ya, Three?
124->'''Lucy:''' I'm fine, Seven.
125->'''Ricky:''' [Groaning] Oh...

140
141
142->'''Ethel:''' Well, I must say you're taking it calmly.
143->'''Lucy:''' Now it comes. What's on your mind, Ethel?
144->'''Ethel:''' Look, honey, you don't have to pretend with me. I come to you this morning not just as a landlady, not just as a friend, but as a shoulder upon which to weep in this time of crisis.
145->'''Lucy:''' Well, I think you've been twisting those curlers too tight.
146
147->'''Ricky:''' Aw, honey, I don't care anything about that new dancer.
148->'''Lucy:''' Hah!
149->'''Ricky:''' Aw, honey, you can trust me.
150->'''Lucy:''' I can, huh?

152->'''Lucy:''' Yeah, old Rover!
153
154->'''Ricky:''' [When Lucy suggests performing as a USO singer] Have you ever heard Lucy sing?
155->'''Fred:''' No.
156->'''Ricky:''' Our fighting men have been through enough.
157
158->'''Ricky:''' Lucy's been acting strange lately!
159->'''Fred:''' Strange? How can you tell?
160
161->'''Lucy:''' There's just two things keeping me from dancing in that show.
162->'''Fred:''' Your feet?
163
164->'''Jean Valijean Raymand:''' Oh, madame, but you have such a beautiful hand!
165->'''Lucy:''' Oh, really? Well I have another one just like it!
166
167->'''Jean Valijean Raymand:''' Oh, but you don't understand, madame! The apache dance is a dance of amour. One must warm up to it.
168->'''Lucy:''' Yeah, well I think you started warming up on the way over here!
169->'''Jean Valijean Raymand:''' I can't help it. I can't help that there's a pounding in my heart.
170->'''Lucy:''' You don't watch out, there'll be a pounding on your head!
171
172->'''Ladies Club Chairwoman:''' You have just seen Mrs. Glazingham's play entitled Pearl One, Drop Two, or Much Ado about Knitting.
173
174->'''Lucy:''' Time to make another call to Ethel. [disguised voice] Hello, this is the Ajax Salvage Company. We buy old glass, I understand you have some rings that you're interested in selling.
175->'''Ricky:''' Ha ha ha ha!
176->'''[Fires air hammer into the phone]:'''
177->'''Lucy:''' [to Ricky] Think harder, we can be nastier than that.
178
179->'''Ricky:''' Now look, Lucy, we're not going to go over all this again. You cannot be in the show.
180->'''Lucy:''' Give me one good reason.
181->'''Ricky:''' You have no talent.
182->'''Lucy:''' Give me another good reason.
183
184->'''Lucy:''' Here I am with all this talent bottled up inside of me and you're always sitting on the cork.
185
186->'''Lucy:''' Now, what about boys your own age?
187->'''Peggy:''' Oh, they're all so icky.
188->'''Lucy:''' They're icky, huh?
189->'''Peggy:''' Yeah. Except Arthur... Arthur Morton. He's wonderful. He's got curly hair, big, sad eyes, and floppy ears. He looks like Gregory Peck.
190->'''Lucy:''' Sounds more like Lassie!
191
192->'''Arthur:''' But... You're a woman.
193->'''Lucy:''' Yes, my husband likes me that way.
194
195->'''Ricky:''' Why are we whispering?
196->'''Lucy:''' If my feet find out this was my idea, they'll kill me.
197
198->'''Ricky:''' [Finds Lucy soaking her feet] What's the matter?
199->'''Lucy:''' I gave Arthur a dancing lesson.
200->'''Ricky:''' Arthur? Arthur who?
201->'''Lucy:''' Believe me, it wasn't Arthur Murray!
202
203->'''Peggy:''' I can't believe this whole thing! Why, I just saw you at rehearsal yesterday, dancing around and beating your conga drum.
204->'''Ricky:''' Oh, yes. Well, I'm glad you saw that. That was my farewell performance.
205->'''Lucy:''' Yeah, he's ba-ba'd his last lu.
206
207->'''Peggy:''' Do you still know how to dance?
208->'''Lucy:''' [insulted] I think I can recall a few variations on the Turkey Trot.
209
210->'''Lucy:''' [trying to discourage teenage neighbor Peggy from her infatuation with Ricky] Well, there's a little thing you overlooked, Peggy. Ricky is married.
211->'''Peggy:''' I know. Doesn't that make it sophisticated!
212->'''Lucy:''' Well, yes.
213->'''Peggy:''' And he's so much more worldly than the boys I know.
214->'''Lucy:''' Well, I should hope so. He's a little older, too.
215->'''Peggy:''' I know. He's middle-aged!
216->'''Lucy:''' What?
217->'''Peggy:''' He must be pushing 23.
218->'''Lucy:''' Yeah, he's pushing 23 all right. In fact, he's pushed it all the way to 35. I suppose you think that I'm pushing 23, too?
219->'''Peggy:''' Oh, no. A woman can always tell another woman's age.
220->'''Lucy:''' Yes, well, now about Ricky. You know, there's another thing you overlooked, Peggy.
221->'''Peggy:''' What?
222->'''Lucy:''' I love him, too.
223->'''Peggy:''' I was afraid of that. You're gonna be terrific competition.
224->'''Lucy:''' Well, thanks.
225->'''Peggy:''' Gosh, you've got that 'certain something'.
226->'''Lucy:''' Well, that's... that's quite a compliment. But how would a girl your age know that I have that 'certain something'?
227->'''Peggy:''' I can tell by the way my mother looks at my father when my father looks at you.

233->'''Ricky:''' Believe me, if you traded places with me, you'd be surprised.
234->'''Lucy:''' [pregnant, but hasn't yet told Ricky] Believe me, if I traded places with you, YOU'D be surprised!
235
236->'''Lucy:''' I’ve been feeling really dauncy.
237->'''Ethel:''' Dauncy?
238->'''Lucy:''' That’s a word my grandmother made up for when you’re not really sick but you’re feeling lousy.
239->'''Ethel:''' Lucy...You don’t suppose you’re gonna have a baby?”
240->'''Lucy:''' A baby?
241->'''Ethel:''' Yeah. That’s a word my grandmother made up for tiny little people.

250
251->'''Ricky:''' What do you know about rice?

253
254
255->'''Lucy:''' But Ricky, tonight is Monday. You were going to take me to a movie and dinner.
256->'''Ricky:''' I was?
257->'''Lucy:''' Well, I didn't tell you about it yet, but you were.

332
333->'''Dr. Peterson:''' I'm the doctor who brought your wife into the world.
334->'''Ricky:''' Oh you are? Well I don't know whether to thank you or punch you in the nose!
335
336->'''Ricky:''' Will somebody mind telling me what's going on here?
337->'''Ethel:''' Why? You'll never believe it.
338->'''Lucy:''' Well now, I just figured maybe I'd have to stow away if I wanted to get to Europe and I knew that a seal could live in there, so I supposed maybe I could and when I tried it on for size, I got locked in it.

355->'''Lucy:''' Well, the way you speak it, it is to me, too.
356
357->'''Ethel:''' Oh, just think. You'll be visiting your relatives in a foreign land. Sometimes I wish I had married a Cuban.
