I Love Lucy (TV Series)

Lucy Thinks Ricky Is Trying to Murder Her (1951)

William Frawley: Fred Mertz

Quotes 

• Ricky Ricardo : Lucy's acting crazy!

  Fred Mertz : Crazy for Lucy or crazy for ordinary people?

• Ricky Ricardo : She seems to have some idea that I'm going to kill her.

  Fred Mertz : That doesn't mean anything. Sooner or later, every married woman decides that her husband wants to kill her. She's usually right.

• Fred Mertz : Just do what I do whenever Ethel gets over excited. Slip her a Mickey.

  Ricky Ricardo : A Mickey?

  Fred Mertz : Well not a real Mickey, just a mild sedative.

  [sorts through his pocket] 

  Fred Mertz : Oh no, that's a stomach tablet... hey, here's that button I want sewn back on my pants. Here you go.

  Ricky Ricardo : Listen, if Lucy thinks I'm trying to kill her, you really think she'll take this?

  Fred Mertz : Just put it in a little soda water, and she'll never notice it.
