The Lucy Show:
Lucy: "Well, if you ask me..."
Mr. Mooney: "Nobody asked YOU!"
Mr. Mooney: "Mrs. Carmichael, I've been trying to find Mr. Burns' file - it is not under the B's."
Lucy: "Oh, I must have put it under the X's."
Mr. Mooney: "Why would you put the B file under the X's??"
Lucy: "Well that poor little file never has anything in it! ...Oh, it's not here."
Mr. Mooney: "Well where is it??"
Lucy: "Well, now, I don't know, wait a minute - oh, I bet I know what I did. You see Mr. Burns, I have trouble remembering names, so I took a course in word association. Now, Burns reminds me of fire."
Mr. Mooney: "So you filed it under the F's."
Lucy: "No, fire reminds me of stove."
George Burns: "So you put my file under the S's."
Lucy: "No, stove reminds me of pot roast."
George Burns: [to Mr. Mooney] "It's your turn."
Mr. Mooney: "You filed it under the P's?"
Lucy: "No, pot roast reminds me of noodles."
Mr. Mooney: "Mrs. Carmichael, you're making me angry..."
George Burns: "She's making me hungry."
Lucy: "And noodles remind me of my mother."
Mr. Mooney: [to George Burns] "It's your turn."
George Burns: "Noodles remind you of your mother?"
Lucy: "Yeah, she made the best noodles...and I bet that's where I put your file."
George Burns: "Under noodles."
Lucy: "No, under gravy."
Mr. Mooney: "Mrs. Carmichael, I don't know what I'm going to do with you!"
George Burns: "I know what I'm going to do with her - start a whole knew career! Mrs. Carmichael?"
Lucy: "Yes sir?"
George Burns: "Have you ever thought about going on the stage?"
Lucy: "Oh, all my life!"
George Burns: "How would you like to do an act with me?"
Lucy: "Oh Mr. Burns, you can't be serious!"
George Burns: "I know it, that's why I want to get back on the stage."
Lucy: "Oh, that's very nice of you Mr. Burns, but I couldn't quit my job here."
Mr. Mooney: "Why not??"
Lucy: "Well because, it wouldn't be fair to you Mr. Mooney, you need me."
.................
Lucy: "Oh, and you know, today my horoscope said my whole future was going to take a turn for the better."
Mr. Mooney: "So did mine!"
