In the scene where the mind reader reveals Lucy's childhood nickname, the closed captions say "Bartlett", what he really says is "Birdlegs".
Ethel: (bursting into Lucy's apartment) Lucy! Lucy! Lucy, she's here! She's here!
Lucy: Who's here?
Ethel: Ricky's mother. I just saw her gettin' out of the cab.
Lucy: How do you know it's Ricky's mother?
Ethel: She tried to pay the cab driver in pesos.
Lucy: Oh, Ethel, you don't think Ricky's mother's coming all the way from Cuba just to check on my housekeeping?
Ethel: Why not? Fred's mother comes all the way from Indiana once a year just to look under my rug. Brother, if I thought she'd stay at home, I'd send her the rug and a box of dirt.
Professor: When is your birthday?
Lucy: August 6th.
Professor: August 6th, what?
Lucy: August 6th, period.
