Elizabeth Patterson: Mrs. Trumbull
Quotes
-
Ethel Mertz : How are you, Mrs Trumbull?
Mrs. Trumbull : As well as could be expected after two hours sleep.
Lucy Ricardo : Oh, I'm sorry about that Mrs Trumbull. The baby was a little fussy. He won't annoy you again.
Mrs. Trumbull : No, I'm sure of that. Perhaps you'll recall this piece of paper, Mrs Mertz.
Ethel Mertz : Your lease?
Mrs. Trumbull : Yes.
Mrs. Trumbull : [she reads aloud] "It is expressly understood that at no time will children be allowed to live in said building."
Ethel Mertz : Little Ricky!
Lucy Ricardo : He's a children!
Mrs. Trumbull : Since it says, "No children" in plain English, what excuse is there for Mrs Ricardo's baby?
Ethel Mertz : Uhhhh, ahhh...
Lucy Ricardo : He can't read.
[Lucy and Ethel laugh nervously; Mrs Trumbull is not amused]
