- Lucy Ricardo: Are you asking me to leave?
- Tallulah Bankhead: 'Throwing you out' would be more appropriate.
- Lucy Ricardo: Let me tell you something, Tallulah Bankhead, I've been thrown out of better places than this!
- Tallulah Bankhead: You have never BEEN in better places than this!
- Lucy Ricardo: [Ethel, posing as the Ricardos' maid, is lavishing praise on Tallulah Bankhead while serving dinner] Ethel... Ethel Mae... will you PLEASE stop boring Miss Bankhead?
- Tallulah Bankhead: [Slowly turns to face Lucy] When Miss Bankhead is bored, Miss Bankhead will let you know.
- Tallulah Bankhead: My good woman would you kindly leave the premises before I grab your pink hair and pull it out by its black roots!
- Lucy Ricardo: [Ethel, posing as the Ricardos' maid, is lavishing praise on Tallulah Bankhead while serving dinner] Ethel... Ethel Mae... will you PLEASE stop boring Miss Bankhead?
- Tallulah Bankhead: [slowly turns to face Lucy] When Miss Bankhead is bored, Miss Bankhead will let you know.
- Tallulah Bankhead: [unknown to Miss Bankhead and Lucy, the butler, Winslow, has put a freshly-painted chair in the kitchen to dry, just as Lucy comes by, dressed for her trip into town] Sit down, dahling, have a cup of coffee with me, will you?
- Lucy Ricardo: Oh, I really can't. I - I want to get into New York, and get back before the play tonight.
- Tallulah Bankhead: Nonsense, nonsense. Now, you have time for a cup of coffee, now sit down and have a cup of coffee.
- Lucy Ricardo: [Lucy gives in, sits down, finds that her dress and gloves are covered with white paint, assumes the accident was intentional, and the insults start flying] Let me tell you something, Tallulah Bankhead, Ethel Mertz may think you're the greatest actress in the world, but not me. All you can do is, 'Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha, dahling'... I'll get even with you for getting even with me if it's the last thing I do.
- Tallulah Bankhead: [as Lucy storms out] If you do, it will be! And another thing: You do a *revolting* imitation of me!
- Lucy Ricardo: [briefly reappearing at the back door] SO DO YOU!
- Ricky Ricardo: I'm terrible at remembering names.
- Tallulah Bankhead: Oh, so am I. That's why I call everybody "darling."
- Lucy Ricardo: Let me get this straight, Ms. Bankhead. Are you asking me to leave your home?
- Tallulah Bankhead: Throwing you out would be more accurate.
- Lucy Ricardo: Well, I have been thrown out of better places than this!
- Tallulah Bankhead: You have never *been* in better places than this!
