The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show1950

Ronnie Burns:
I don't want to do comedy, I wanna take a crack at serious drama.

Gracie Allen:
But Ronnie, we've done comedy all our lives and we're proud of what we've done, and we thought you were too. Well, all our lives we've hoped and dreamed that someday you'd join us. Well, this comes as quite a shock. I - I don't know what to say.

Ronnie Burns:
Dad, did you hear that? What a reading, what feeling, what emotion! What a dramatic actress she might have been if you hadn't put her in comedy.

Gracie Allen:
Really, Ronnie?

Ronnie Burns:
Sure, mother!

Gracie Allen:
Oh, George Burns, you ought to be ashamed of yourself! You've wrecked my career!
