- Ethel Mertz: I'm goin' over to the market, honey. You need anything?
- Lucy Ricardo: [feeding Little Ricky's pets] Well, not for us, but Alice and Phil could use some bird seed, and Tommy and Jimmy could use some turtle food, and Mildred and Charles could use some fish food.
- Ethel Mertz: Wouldn't it be easier if they just ate each other?
- Lucy Ricardo: [Lucy and Ricky both sneak out to avoid being the one to tell Little Ricky that he can't keep a dog in their apartment, but they meet each other in the hallway] All right, Ricky Ricardo, will you please tell me where you were going?
- Ricky Ricardo: Me? Uhhh, rehearsal. Yeah, that's it! Rehearsal at the club.
- Lucy Ricardo: At 7 o'clock in the morning?
- Ricky Ricardo: Well, yeah, well, uhhh, never mind about me. Where were you going?
- Lucy Ricardo: To the market.
- Ricky Ricardo: The market is open at 7 o'clock in the morning?
- Lucy Ricardo: If you can have a rehearsal, the market can be open.
- Ricky Ricardo: I know what you were tryin' to do. You were tryin' to sneak out of the apartment so you didn't have to tell Little Ricky.
- Lucy Ricardo: Yeah, well you gotta get up awful early in the mornin' to sneak out of *this* apartment!
- Ricky Ricardo: You can say that again. Yeah, you're right, Honey. I'm his father. I guess I should tell him.
- Lucy Ricardo: [relieved] Oh, well, Honey, I'm glad you finally decided.
- Little Ricky Ricardo: [Little Ricky comes in] Hi, Mommy. Hi, Daddy.
- Ricky Ricardo: Hi, son.
- Lucy Ricardo: Well, good morning, Sweetheart.
- Ricky Ricardo: Say, I want to talk to you, pardner.
- [Little Ricky continues walking into the kitchen]
- Lucy Ricardo: He went to get his dog.
- Ricky Ricardo: Oh.
- Little Ricky Ricardo: [comes back holding his puppy] Yes, Daddy?
- Ricky Ricardo: All right. We have to have a talk here. I want to tell you that, uh... I want to tell you that, uh... I want to tell you that your mother has something to tell you. I'm late, I gotta go. Good bye, everybody.
- [he bolts out the front door]
