One day in Mexico, the radio picked up a
station from the USA.

And all the people heard just what
occurred upon a program known as

They heard a lady win a diamond -pinned
sable and a brand -new limousine.

She took home all the loot and more to
boot for knowing 12 and 5 are 17.

That day in Mexico, the radio was heard
by one whose name was Don Jose.

He said, if that was most on all those
shows, I think I'd go for a visit right

away.

He got his papers quick and then a
ticket on a plane for Hollywood and

He got to town at eight and sure as
fate, he wound up in a studio at night.

He knew that Mexico would hear the show
and he was set to make his family proud.

And so he whistled and he raised his
hand and yelled until they picked him

the crowd.

He got the biggest score and what is
more, he even won the jackpot of the

He blew his top because the price, it
was an airplane trip right back to

Mexico.

That's all, Marco. My throat is sore
today. Will you call Lucy and tell her

be home right away? Okay, that's fine.
Bye.

Bye.

Lucy? Yeah?

Your new furniture came.

Really? What? What's it like? I don't
know. I was so busy, I just told her to

put it all in the apartment.

Oh, I'm just dying to see it. Oh, darn
this key.

You know, for the rent you charge, you
could have bigger keyholes.

There.

Oh, my gosh.

I think there's a little too much
furniture in here.

It does look a little overcrowded,
doesn't it? I forgot we had to take the

furniture out.

Oh, well.

Gee, there's a lot of wonderful stuff,
huh?

Where's the phone?

Yeah, it's not here.

Oh.

Well, now, where is the phone?

Oh, for heaven's sake.

What could they do with it?

Let's see now. I was lying on the sofa
talking.

It's on the floor someplace. Yeah,
sounds like it, doesn't it?

Did you find it? No.

Oh.

Oh, here it is. For heaven's sake.

Oh, gosh.

Hello?

Oh, too late.

Now I'll never know who it was, and that
drives me absolutely crazy.

Me too.

Gee.

Hey, look at this stuff. Isn't it going
to look wonderful?

Uh -huh. Oh, look at that luscious
chair.

going to look. Where do I put it?

Let's take it and put it out in the
hall, all the old stuff. Okay.

Here.

Listen, you know, I'm not going to be
able to leave that piano there. I'm

to put it over on that wall. I want
everything completely different, you

There. Oh, it just looks wonderful.

Isn't it beautiful?

I'm going to make an entrance from
another room and see how it looks.

I've ever seen.

How do you like it?

Gee, this new stuff is marvelous.

Isn't it, though? Listen, Fred, would
you do me a big favor? Would you take a

few little pieces of furniture down the
basement for me? Sure, where are they?

Right out here.

A few little pieces, huh? Well, it's not
very much. If you just move this over.

I don't feel good today, honey. I feel
real bad. I got a sore throat, and I

think I'm catching a cold, everything.

Oh, you've been working too hard
redecorating that club.

Yeah, maybe that is. Will you give me a
couple of aspirins, honey? Sure, dear,

sure.

Ethel, do you think I made a mistake
putting that chair there? You know, my

first impulse was to put the chair here
and have the table on this side.

Lucy! Lucy!

What?

Please, honey, I don't feel good. Get me
the aspirins.

I think I'm getting a strep the cocky.

I didn't know it was so serious.

You think you'll live till I get back
from the kitchen?

Give me the ice cream, please.

Does Fred always act like a child when
he gets ill? You mean baby Snooks? Oh,

brother.

Very funny. Yeah.

Boy, it has to happen now, too. I got an
opening coming up and everything, and

now I gotta get a sore throat. Oh,
you'll be all right.

Well, I want to make a good impression
of Mr. Chambers. Who's Mr. Chambers?

He's the new owner of the Tropicana.

Oh, hey, Rick, does Lucy know that
you're casting a new show?

No, that's the good part about this
furniture deal. She's been so busy,

not even thinking about getting into the
act.

She will.

Fred, take your furniture down a little
later, honey. Okay, dear. Yeah, Ricky

and I will carry it downstairs for you.

Oh, Ricky isn't feeling well.

Oh, he doesn't feel that bad, do you,
Rick?

Oh, come on, you're all right.

Come on.

myself. Come on, Ethel.

Oh,

it is not funny. I don't feel too good.

Oh, I'm sorry, dear. Here.

There.

Poor baby.

this morning.

He's dying.

That's good. I thought it might be
something serious.

Honestly, Ethel, why are men such
babies? I wish I could get away with

like that. You said it. Last week, Fred
had a little headache and took to his

bed moaned he might not live through the
night. You remember when I broke my

ankle last year? He tried to get me out
of bed the second morning to fix his

breakfast. He said walking would help
the bone heal.

I'm wanted in surgery.

I'll go scrub up in case you need me.

What is it, dear?

Oh, I feel worse.

My throat is worse. I feel awful.

You want to look at it, please, for me?
Yes, open up, dear.

Just as I thought.

Why? It's dark down there.

I have to get the flashlight.

All right, get the flashlight.

I don't know why this has to happen to
me now. I got the opening coming and

everything.

You never put the flashlight in the same
place twice.

I put it where you told me to put it the
last time you said I didn't put it in

the same place twice. All right, now
let's take a look at that.

pain and you making fun with me.

I'm sick.

All right, dear, open up.

Oh, boy, I wish you could see down in
here.

It's so colorful. It's like the Carlsbad
Caverns.

Is it red?

Yeah, red, white, blue, pink, burnt
orange.

Now, don't make fun, will you? I don't
feel good.

Not only my throat, I mean, I got a
cold.

clammy feeling in my stomach.

A cool clammy feeling on your stomach?
Yeah, I do. I have. Oh, honey, no

That's why.

I'll probably catch pneumonia. I'd
better change the clothes.

I'll never be able to make that show.

eating a little breakfast?

Oh, no.

No? Well, you should have some liquids.
How about a little orange juice?

All right, a little orange juice. Okay.

And, uh, maybe a little coffee.

Okay.

Uh, maybe I could choke down one piece
of toast.

Butter.

need my strength, you know.

Maybe you should put some bacon with it.

Orange juice, toast, coffee, and bacon.

Yeah.

Lucy!

How's Ricky?

Well, I called the doctor and it's a
little more serious than I thought. He

a virus that settled in his throat.

Oh, gee, is it bad?

Well, the doctor said if he was going to
be in the show, he'd have to stay in

bed a whole week and not talk.

Not talk at all?

Not a word.

Gee, imagine not being able to talk for
seven whole days.

Why don't you hang around here? Maybe
you can catch it.

Never mind.

Let us know if there's anything we can
do.

Okay. We'll check you later.

Thanks. Bye -bye. Bye.

Doctor said you gotta take your
medicine.

Now, the doctor said you have to take
your medicine.

Don't shout at me.

Now, when I say you gotta take medicine,
I mean you gotta take... Now, Ricky,

look what you did.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

Now, look, if you're gonna act like a
child, I'm gonna treat you like one.

stage the show.

I've got to stage the show.

Ricky, stay where you are.

Let Mr.

Chambers stage the show.

Well, I can ask him to do that. All
right, then I'll ask him. I'll call him

the phone and ask him.

Now, you know, this is too important for
a telephone call. I'm going to get

dressed and get down there and see him
in person.

You stay in that bed.

Well... Well...

Honey, listen, I got to get out of the
club for Ricky. Will you stick around in

case he needs anything?

Sure. What are you going down to the
club for?

I'm going to see Mr. Chambers.

You know how conscientious Ricky is.
He's going to get out of that sickbed

go down there and stage that show. Well,
I'm going to ask Mr. Chambers to stage

it for himself.

Oh, well, good luck.

Thanks. I'll need it.

Hello?

Hello. May I speak to Ricky Ricardo,
please?

This is Mr.

Chambers calling.

Oh, Mr.

Chambers, this is Mrs. Ricardo.

Ricky can't talk right now, you see. Oh,
well, will you give him a message for

me, Mrs. Ricardo?

You tell him I've been called out of
town for a few days.

I ought to be back today before the
opening.

Well, not to worry. I have every
confidence that he'll turn out a great

But, Mr.

Chambers...

Chambers is going out of town. Oh,
what's Ricky going to have to say about

Nothing. I'm not going to tell him.
You're not going to tell him? Of course

Well, then who's going to stage the
show?

Who cares?

I'm not letting Ricky out of that bed
until the doctor says so if I have to

stage a show myself.

You wouldn't.

Of course I wouldn't.

Would I?

Well?

Oh, it's crazy.

Oh, sure, it's fantastic.

What a thought.

Of course, it would give me an
opportunity to hire some talent that has

grossly overlooked in the past.

You mean Fred and I could do one of our
dance routines?

Right after my opening number.

That is, if you're as good as you say
you are. What do you mean?

You may audition for me the first thing
in the morning. Oh!

Well, I'm glad that you agree.

Yes.

Well, yeah. Lucy.

Oh, well, thank you very much.

Thank you. Goodbye, Doctor.

Fred will be up in just a minute. He's
got the act and the music and

Good. I just talked the doctor into
making Ricky stay in bed until opening

night. That'll get him out of the way.
He's not even going to get to come to

rehearsal. Ricky still thinks that Mr.
Chambers is staging the show.

Sure. And Mr. Chambers still thinks that
Ricky's staging the show. That's right.

Uh -oh.

Now, don't worry about Mr. Chambers. I
think we can handle him. I hear he's an

ex -vaudevillian. Oh, good.

Hi, kids.

I got it. It was in the trunk, the whole
act.

Words, music, orchestrations, gags,
routines, everything.

You sure this is good now?

Well, it was a smash when Ethel and I
did it at the palace.

At the palace?

You're darn tootin'. That was the best
theater in Jamestown, New York.

don't think maybe this might be a little
out of date, do you? Oh, no, that's

what's wonderful about it. They're
reviving everything we did in that show.

Ukuleles at Charleston, even the
fashions. Gee, that's right.

And I wish you could have seen those
showgirls.

Yeah? Oh, that was the most beautiful
line of showgirls I ever saw. Really?

And here's another break we get. I
called them all up, and every one of

still available.

Well,

that's just wonderful.

We got an awful lot of work to do before
next Saturday.

and I wish you could see the way Ricky
has redecorated the club for the

It is the most beautiful thing you've
ever seen.

Listen, now you take this to Marco. Tell
him to get the musicians ready. We've

got to talk about costumes. When you see
a blue dress I found in the trunk that

I used to wear in the act...

There's sweetness in the call of a
woodland dove as

her love song echoes through the trees.

There's sweetness in a rose with a
symbol of love

floating on a summer breeze.

But nothing can compare with the
sweetness of

The one and only.

that words cannot express.

Bye, Curly, when the dew is pearly.
