- Ricky Ricardo: Now what do you think this pleasant surprise could be?
- Fred Mertz: Maybe they're leaving us?
- Lucy Ricardo: [Lucy, dressed in a stunning, skin-tight evening gown prances into the room, showing off her new glamorous look] May I have a light, please? Thanks awfully, darling.
- Ricky Ricardo: Who is that?
- Fred Mertz: It looks like Lucy.
- Ricky Ricardo: Lucy?
- Lucy Ricardo: Yes, dah-ling?
- Ricky Ricardo: It is Lucy.
- Fred Mertz: Well, what do you know.
- Lucy Ricardo: [Door buzzer sounds] That must be my dear friend, Ethel. Please Fred, I'll open the door.
- Fred Mertz: Open it? I was going to LOCK it!
- Lucy Ricardo: Oh my dear fellow. You have such a refreshing wit.
- [Opens door]
- Ethel Mertz: [Ethel strolls in, dressed in a tight leopard skin evening gown] I hope I didn't hold up the party.
- Lucy Ricardo: Not at all, darling. Do come in.
- Ricky Ricardo: [Can't believe his eyes regarding Ethel's transformation] Who's that?
- Fred Mertz: Who's that? WHAT'S that?
- Ricky Ricardo: [after Lucy and Ethel, laughably made up, have left the room] Did you ever see anything like that?
- Fred Mertz: I was waiting for Ethel to say, "Trick or treat!"
- Fred Mertz: Ethel's been acting strange all week.
- Ricky Ricardo: So has Lucy.
- Fred Mertz: How can you tell?
- Ricky Ricardo: That's a very good question.
