Hi,

Lucy. Oh, hi.

Look around, Ethel.

You wouldn't know there was a baby in
this apartment, would you?

Well, I might get a slight clue from
that bundle you're carrying in your

No, I mean, you wouldn't know that a
baby lived here. You know, with all the

things you have to have for a baby. Just
by looking at this room, you wouldn't

notice that. You know, a high chair and
a crib and diapers and bottles and

bottle warmers and toys.

So, what's your point?

So, it just shows what you can do with a
little system. I had to find a place

for everything if we're going to be
stuck in this apartment.

What do you mean, stuck?

Well, I... I've been trying to convince
Ricky that we need a larger apartment

now that we have the baby, but I can't
get anywhere with him. Well, I'm glad. I

don't want you moving away, and I
haven't got a bigger apartment that's

Well, it wouldn't matter if you did.

Ricky says we can't afford it.

Yeah, honey.

Well, you sure did a good job of putting
everything away, honey. Hey, I came up

to borrow a cup of sugar. Will you loan
it to me? Yeah.

slightly confused because I've only
lived in this building 16 years, but

the kitchen that way?

Yeah.

Well, do you always keep the sugar in
the bedroom?

Oh, it wasn't in the bedroom.

It was in the bathroom.

You see, I found a place for each thing,
but when I came to the sugar, the

kitchen was all full.

Uh -huh.

Well, thanks for the sugar. I gotta go
bake my cake. Oh!

Excuse me, I gotta get a roast in the
oven. So long!

is in the other drawer.

So what happened to the dresser?

I had to have more room for the baby's
things.

I'm putting things...

there must be some better place to put
all this junk than under the cushions in

the living room. Not in this stuffy
little cracker box.

Ricky, I worked very hard finding a
place for everything.

You don't realize what a problem it is.

After all, I'm only human. I can only do
so much. All right, all right, all

right. Let's not go through that again.

Go through what again?

This apartment is entirely too small for
the two of us and little Ricky. And if

we don't move to a larger apartment,
I'll go crazy.

Well, I'm glad you finally agreed with
me.

I would love to move just as much as you
would, but we can't afford it. Can't

afford it. Can't afford it. That's all
you ever say anymore.

Well, we can't afford it. There you go
again.

Well, we can.

Well, I can't afford to work so hard
either. You don't know how tough it is.

I'm wasting away to nothing.

Well, you're the fattest nothing I've
ever seen.

What?

Now, look.

We are staying right here.

I'm just trying to reason with Mr. Ricky
Ricardo, the Cuban skinflint.

Hey, I came up to tell you something.

You know the Bensons that live in 3B?

Yeah. Well, their daughter got married
this afternoon.

Really? Yeah, I just saw Mr. and Mrs.
Benson in the hall.

They both reacted in the strangest way
to their daughter's wedding.

She was crying and he was laughing.

He probably thought that he would never
unload.

She'll rush right... Empty room.

They've got an extra room they don't
need.

Oh, gee, I hope they don't move.

I hope they do.

Why, Lucy.

Well, that way we can move to a larger
apartment and still stay in the

Yeah, but we'd lose a tenant.

Oh.

Maybe they'll trade with us. Hey, that's
a wonderful idea.

Do you think they'd do it? Well, no harm
in asking them. Oh, I'll bet we could

talk them into it. Oh, that would just
be ideal.

We could take their daughter's room,
make it into the nursery. I know just

the furniture would go. And then she
wouldn't have to...

apartments.

Did you understand what I said?

All right. What did I say?

You want Swiss apartments.

But why?

Look, the Benson's apartment is larger
than this apartment.

Therefore,

You see?

Now, there you are.

Now, I told you, I would love to move
just as much as you would, but we can't

afford it. I know, I know. Those must be
the first English words you ever

learned.

Ricky, I know this isn't any of my
business, but Lucy is awful crowded

and, well, you know, there is that extra
room downstairs.

Ethel, Ethel, never mind. Ricky is
right.

Ricky is my husband, little Ricky's
father, and I respect his judgment.

In all the years that we've been
married, I've never known him to be

but generous and kind -hearted and
wonderful.

Kiss me.

I can't afford it.

What do you mean you can't afford it?
That kiss will cost me $20 a month.

you can think of that we can do to help
you, Lucy?

Anything. Anything at all.

No. Thanks, Fred.

We'll just have to go on living exactly
the way we are.

Little Ricky's gonna get awfully cramped
sleeping in that crib until he's 21

years old.

Gee, I wish there was something we could
do.

Well, of course, it's just the extra
rent that stands in the way.

for the same amount of money that we pay
here, there wouldn't be any problem.

Don't you think that possibly...

No. It wouldn't be fair to the other
tenants.

I guess you're right, Fred.

We'll just have to stay the way we are
until we get so crowded we can't turn

around.

Can't turn around?

What are you talking about?

What a dope I've been.

Of course Ricky's willing to stay here
if I break my back putting everything

away. I've been doing everything all
right.

to put them.

Lucy. Oh, I know it's crowded, dear, but
you'll just have to bear with it if

we're going to stay in this teensy
apartment.

Lucy, I'm sorry.

How am I supposed to get in here?

Catch me first.

I'll be right with you. Well, take your
time.

Take your time.

Gee, won't this be a wonderful place for
us to live in?

It'll be a wonderful place for you to
recuperate in when Ricky finds out what

you're up to.

Oh, he won't mind.

I just used the wrong approach last
night, that's all.

But I'm going to take all those toys
back.

I do talk Mrs. Benson into switching
apartments with you. This apartment is

still going to cost Ricky an extra $20 a
month.

It isn't going to cost Ricky anything.

Huh? It's going to cost me $20 a month.
I'm going to scrimp and save and pay it

out of my allowance.

You're already drawing on your allowance
seven months in advance.

Oh, you'll never be able to pay me. I
will too.

If I were smart, I'd let you have this
place for the same price. Then we could

still stay friends.

Yeah.

to help me work on Mrs. Benson. Okay.

Now, after all, it's for her own good.

She won't have to worry about her
daughter being gone.

I'll keep you waiting.

Oh. Well, now, there we are.

How have you been, Mrs. Benson?

Oh, fine. Just fine.

It's a beautiful morning, isn't it?
Wonderful.

Don't you just love the spring?

Uh -huh.

Congratulations on your daughter's
marriage.

Well, you still have Mr.

Benson. Yeah.

I feel so sorry for Mrs. Benson,
rattling around in this big apartment,

daughter's room standing there empty,
reminding her that she's all alone.

Oh, I know.

What? Um, this is a big sacrifice to
make, but I can't. stand to see her

Our apartment would be just perfect for
the Bensons.

Why, yes. It's just the right size. Oh,
no, no. I couldn't. I couldn't possibly.

It's $20 a month cheaper.

Oh?

Well, Mr.

Benson would like that.

Ah, yeah. When do we switch? Today?

Oh, no, no, my dear. I couldn't do it
today.

You see, I'll be out all day helping my
baby get settled.

She'll get no help from that nincompoop
she's married.

Yeah, well, why don't you give me the
key and I'll have everything all fixed

when you come back. Oh, my dear, now, I
don't know. Now, what about the moving?

Isn't that very expensive?

Oh, well, don't you worry about it. I'll
take care of everything.

As a matter of fact, some of my best
friends are furniture movers.

Really? Oh, that's wonderful.

I certainly appreciate all you're doing.
Oh, that's all right. Bless you.

Well, I'll go and get you the key. All
right.

think I'm going to help you carry all of
this furniture? Quiet. We'll talk about

it later. You want us to stay here,
don't you? Yes, but I'm not going to

you carry all this furniture back and
forth. Fred wouldn't touch a piece of

I'm not going to do it.

to come up here until he had left. Now
go on. I'll pound on the floor when I

want to. Go on. All right. Hurry up
before he sees you.

You better hurry, dear. You'll be late
for rehearsal.

Oh, I've got playtime.

What are you going to do today?

Why do you ask?

you can take my talks to the cleaners.

Oh, don't be late for your rehearsal,
dear.

Oh, listen, honey. Yeah?

There's something I want to talk to you
about. What, dear?

Well, you know, I've been thinking the
whole situation about moving and

everything. Yeah.

Really, I want you to understand that I
would like to very much, but you don't

seem to realize.

Oh, I do realize, dear. I do. Yes, I do.
It's perfectly all right. I understand

exactly. Yes, I do, dear. Goodbye.

Well, let's get started.

Oof. Hey, where's the baby? Mrs.
Trumbull's going to take care of him

Now, okay.

grab something up here, take it
downstairs, pick up something

it up here, and keep on going till we
get everything switched around in both

apartments. Now, come on. All right.

Well,

my back's been bothering me lately.

You've been using that same gag for
years.

Come on now and do a man... work.

Lucy, give him that coffee table. That's
too heavy for you.

There, that's better.

Watch your fingers. Gee, this is heavy,
isn't it? Yes, it is. Where do you want

this, Lucy?

Oh, right there, thank you.

Hey, we're pretty fast movers, aren't
we? Yeah, we're the busy little bees,

right.

Well, let's not lose any time, busy
bees. Buzz on up and get some more

furniture. All right, all right.

Say, Lucy, correct me if I'm wrong.

But we've been moving for three hours
now, and there's one member of our

moving firm that I haven't passed on the
stairs lately.

Has Fred goofed off?

I wasn't referring to Fred.

Well, Ethel, you certainly don't mean
me, don't I?

Why, I've been working like a Trojan
overseeing things.

Someone's got to be in charge. Well,
let's take turns being in charge.

Well, apparently one of our busy bees is
a sorehead.

Well, apparently one of our busy bees
thinks she's the queen.

All right, all right. Don't get your
stinger out of joint.

You just relax. I'll move all the rest
of my furniture myself.

Everything. Well, this is the last of
it.

Nice timing.

Oh, come on now. Let's not get mad.
We're all finished.

Let's all go down to the corner
drugstore and relax over an ice cream

Well, you talked me into it.

Come on.

You know, I may have a sandwich and a
piece of apple pie.

With whipped cream. I'm hungry.

Ricky will just love this apartment once
he gets... What happened?

What happened?

How'd the Benson furniture get back in
here?

I can't understand it.

Well, I didn't have anything stronger
than an ice cream soda.

a wonderful surprise for you.

But I guess they didn't get here, so I
might as well tell you. Tell me what?

Well, I got Mr. Benson's okay, and then
I called Mrs. Trumbull and asked her to

call me as soon as you left the
apartment.

Yeah? And then I called the movers and
told them to rush over here and switch

all the furniture from our apartment to
this apartment.
