    • Lucy: Now what were you saying? Ricky: I was saying that if he's not smart enough to mind, he can stay in the dog house. Lucy: You're mean! Ricky: Since when is [it] mean for a dog to stay in his dog house? Lucy: When the dog doesn't like the dog house. He's not happy out there. Ricky: Why shouldn't he be happy out there? It's a beautiful dog house. It's very roomy, it's brand new, it doesn't have a mortgage, it doesn't have a wife to nag him. Edit
    • Ricky: What can he do? Lucy: He can do lots of things. He can sit up, he can speak, he can roll over. I'll show you later. Ricky: Well, show me now. Lucy: No, I haven't got time now, honey. I gotta get this luncheon going. Ricky: Listen, I paid 30 bucks for this character to go to that school. I wanna see what he learned. Lucy: I don't want to show you right now. I will show you later! Ricky: Apparently, the wrong one went to obedience school. Lucy: (to Fred the dog) Oh, all right. Show what you learned to Señor Simon Legree! Edit
    • Ricky: (to Fred the dog) Well, Fred. Now let's see if you really graduated. I want you to take this diploma--take it over to Little Ricky upstairs and show it to him, then after you do that, I want you to take the diploma over to the guest house and show it to Aunt Ethel and Uncle Fred. Lucy: Oh, for heaven's sake, Ricky! He can't do all that! Ricky: Well you just told me he graduated from obedience school. Lucy: Well, he's learned obedience, but he's not ready for the Ed Sullivan Show. Edit
