Did you know
- TriviaWhen the Ricardos moved into the new apartment, its number was 3B. Over the course of some episodes it was changed to 3D, to fit with Lucy's claim that she's been in (3-D) movies, in Lucy Tells the Truth (1953).
- Quotes
Ricky Ricardo: [Lucy has suggested moving to a larger apartment] Now, look, honey, I know it's crowded here, and I would love to move just as much as you would, but we can't afford it.
Lucy Ricardo: Can't afford it, can't afford it. That's all you ever say any more.
Ricky Ricardo: [with emphasis] Well, we can't afford it!
Lucy Ricardo: There you go again.
Ricky Ricardo: [later, Lucy and Ethel hatch a plan to switch apartments with the Bensons, who don't need their large apartment any more, but Ricky won't budge] I won' swish aparments. Did you understand what I said? All right, what did I say?
Lucy Ricardo: [mocking his accent] You won' swish aparments. But why?
Ricky Ricardo: Look, the Bensons' apartment is larger than this apartment, therefore it must cost more than this apartment.
Ethel Mertz: Twenty dollars a month more.
Ricky Ricardo: You see? Now, there you are. Now, I told you, I would love to move just as much as you would, but we can't afford it.
Lucy Ricardo: I know, I know. Those must be the first English words you ever learned.
Ethel Mertz: Ricky, I know this isn't any of my business, but, uh, Lucy is awful crowded here, and, well, you know there is that extra room downstairs in that apartment...
Lucy Ricardo: [scheming] Ethel, Ethel, never mind, Ricky is right. After all, Ricky is my husband, he's Little Ricky's father, and I respect his judgment. In all the years that we've been married, I've never know him to be anything but generous, and kind-hearted, and wonderful. Kiss me?
Ricky Ricardo: I can't afford it.
