- Lucy Ricardo: Well, you see, all the women's clubs in town are having a big play writing contest.
- Ricky Ricardo: I knew it, I knew it. This had to do with the Wednesday Afternoon Fang and Claw Society.
- Lucy Ricardo: It's the Wednesday Afternoon Fine Arts League. Gee, just think, if our play wins I just might become a big, famous playwright. I might become another Tennessee Ernie.
- Ricky Ricardo: That's Tennessee Williams.
- Lucy Ricardo: Oh.
- Ricky Ricardo: [Ethel enters in a flowing black outfit bedecked with veils and gaudy jewelry] Who are you supposed to be?

- Lucy Ricardo: She's a Spanish senora.
- Ricky Ricardo: She suffers in the translation.
