Season 1 / Episode 27: - The Kleptomaniac

Lucy Ricardo: Well it all started when I was a little girl. I was riding around on the streetcar and I looked up and there was a box and it said take one. So I took one.
Dr. Tom Robinson: Well there was nothing wrong with that.
Lucy Ricardo: Oh yes there waaaas. From then on, I took anything that came into my pretty hands, even though it didn't say take one. I took a bright new penny, I took a bicycle, I took a little boy!
Dr. Tom Robinson: You took a little boy?
Lucy Ricardo: Yeah, but my mother made me give him back!
