TRIVIA (4)
ADD TRIVIA-
When Ricky suggests to Lucy that she read the bus brochure, she says, "Don't be silly. The bus." This was a mistake when it's clear that she has just told Ricky that she wants to ride the train.
-
Fred Mertz used the cost of train tickets as a deterrent to making the Hollywood trip, which was eliminated once the Ricardos bought a car to drive in, but Fred didn't object to staying for several months in a hotel and eating out three meals a day, which would cost a lot more than train tickets!
-
When Fred pulls up to the stoop in front of the apartment building, a careful look at the bottom of the car reveals the cables pulling the car to its parking place.
-
As the cast gets ready to go to Hollywood, they state that they've never had a car before. But when Lucy and Ricky go to Connecticut to "renew" their vows (Episode #26: The Marriage License), Ricky is driving a car (evident because he owes the gas station man money and because he says that he will go and get the car.)

QUOTES (6)
ADD QUOTES-
Ethel: California here we come!
Lucy: Hooray!
Ricky: That's great, Fred. It'll practically be for nothing. We'll each pay for half of the gas and--
Fred: (interrupting Ricky) Bub, bub, bub, bub, bub! Pay for half the gas?
Ethel: (dejected) New York here we stay!
Ricky: Well, I thought as long as you're goin' you'll want to pay for half the 'spenses.
Fred: Well, I don't see why. You're goin' anyway. Wherever the front seat goes, the back seat has to follow. -
(frustrated with Lucy constantly changing her mind about how they should get to California)
Ricky: Look, Lucy. This whole thing was my fault. It was something that I said that started this whole thin'.
Lucy: What'd you say?
Ricky: 'I do!' -
Lucy: You absolutely need a car in Southern California.
Ricky: You do, eh?
Lucy: Yeah, I've been reading up on it. There's a car for every two and a half people in California. Now, you and me and little Ricky, that's two and a half. If we get to the border without a car, they won't let us in. -
Lucy: Gee, Ethel, I feel sorry for you, being married to a pinch penny.
Ethel: Well, you're not exactly married to the horn of plenty.
Lucy: What do you mean by that?
Ethel: Well, for once I think Fred is right. Why should you stick us for half your gasoline?
Lucy: Stick you? Well, now I know who holds the penny while Fred pinches it. -
(Lucy is going to pretend to be from a television company.)
Ricky: Lucy, I got to hand it to you. You got a wonderful, sneaky mind.
Lucy: Well, thank you very much.
Ricky: You'd better let me talk to him.
Lucy: Where are you supposed to be from, the Cuban broadcasting network?
Ricky: Yeah, CBS! The Cuban Broadcasting System. -
Ethel: (on her inability to drive) Well, I can always fold roadmaps and keep an eye out for clean restrooms.
