Quotes

add »
Naomi: Do you know what working for you is like?
Samantha: What?
Naomi: It's like of a sudden I found my good fairy. (edit)
Naomi: I'll clean, I'll scrub, I'll slave and I'll sign a note at ten-percent interest for everything I break.
(edit)
Barbara, the very attractive job applicant: Here are references from the last five husbands I worked for.
Samantha: Don't references generally come from the wives?
Barbara: Not in my case. Somehow I always seem to establish better rapport with the husbands.
(edit)
Mrs. Luftwaffe (applying for the Stevens maid job): My room must have a color television set. And I reserve the right to choose my own wallpaper.
Samantha: I see. Now about references.
Mrs. Luftwaffe: Yes, I’ll look at them now.
Samantha: (surprised) You want to see my references?
Mrs. Luftwaffe: From former housekeepers.
Samantha: Well, I’m afraid there haven’t been any.
Mrs. Luftwaffe: Uuuh. That's bad. I have a rule against working for beginners. (edit)

Trivia

add »
When Louise calls Samantha on the telephone, an old I Love Lucy laugh track is used (May I remind everyone that Bewitched was one of those shows that used laugh tracks and one-camera shooting.) and an uh-oh from Deedee Ball (Lucy's mom) is plainly audible. This track is also used in Episode 64. (edit)
