Isn't that good?

Isn't that good?

Isn't it? Isn't it that?

Now, want to get down and walk for Mama
a little bit? Let's see how much we can

walk today, huh?

Come on.

Oh, sweetie.

Let's see how much we can walk now. Walk
for Mama. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Walk. Oh, come on now. Give me a step or
two. Come on.

Try. Try. Come on, sweetheart.

Come on. Come on, baby.

That's a fella.

That a boy.

That a fella.

Come on.

That a fella. There he is.

Oh, I gotta like him.

Don't you, good boy. We take our nap
now, huh?

So we take our nap now.

Oh, thank you very much.

Oh, oh, Ethel, look.

Life, the magazine, the one with our
pictures in it. Is this the one with

pictures in it? Yeah, well, let me have
it now. Well, I'll find it for you.

Honey, I can find it. It's my magazine,
and my pictures are in it. Okay, let's

see now. Oh, here it is.

Life visits an orchestra leader at home,
page 43.

Oh, I'm so excited. I wonder what my
hair looks like. Oh, and you know, the

beauty parlor did a whole new makeup on
me that day. Yeah, I know. All right,

all right.

Oh, and I had on a new dress. Oh, oh,
here it is.

Isn't that wonderful?

Oh, that's just great. Look, Ricky
practicing at the piano.

Oh, doesn't he look great? Look at that
expression.

Oh, here he is making a roast compoy in
the kitchen.

I've seen him like that a dozen times.
Doesn't that look natural?

Uh -huh. Oh, look at the baby.

Ricky to play the conga drum.

I didn't know they took one like that.
Isn't that wonderful?

Look at that big picture of Ricky. Isn't
that wonderful?

That's all?

I must have missed something.

No, that's all.

Gee, three whole pages of pictures.

left arm.

Oh, come now.

And after all the trouble I went
through, I told all my friends to look

pictures of me. Now, Lucy?

They don't recognize my left arm, I'm
dead.

Oh, and isn't everybody who gets their
arm in Life magazine?

Oh, I don't want my arm in there, I want
my face in there.

For heaven's sake. If I'd known what
they were up to, I'd held a baby in my

mouth.

Hey, 20 million people read this
magazine. while your arm will be famous.

Thanks. Oh, don't be so unhappy.

Think of how much good it'll do Ricky's
career.

Oh, sure. What about my career?

You don't have a career.

Exactly. And why?

Publicity like this.

Oh, now, Lucy.

No wonder I've got where I am.

We got more pages than the two -headed
alligator.

And the wonderful pictures of the baby?

Yeah, wonderful.

Oh, but look at that picture of me on
the piano. Isn't that good?

I got kind of a funny expression on my
face, though. Oh, I don't know. It isn't

as funny as the expression on my elbow.

Huh?

How did you like the pictures of me,
dear?

Oh, beautiful, honey. I thought you'd
never look better. Oh, thank you.

Oh, we ought to be the happiest two
people in the whole world.

Well, the happiest one in a quarter,
anyway.

What do you mean?

I hate to be the one to point this out,
Ricky, but there's a certain loved one

whose picture does not appear in there.

Who? Me.

Oh, now, don't be silly. You're in here.

I am?

Shoot.

Oh, that's right. You're not. No, that's
right. You're not.

Oh, gee, I'm sorry. You don't have to
get mad at me. It's not my fault.

my picture, but they didn't because I'm
not famous. And the only reason I'm not

famous is because you've never given me
an opportunity to display my talents.

Oh, no.

Now, Ricky, you listen to me. I want to
tell you... Now, you listen to me. If

you don't mind, I don't want to listen
to either of you.

Now, no low blows and watch your kidney
punches. Go to your corners and when the

door slams, come out fighting.

I don't want to go into a long
discussion of why you should be in show

I will save you a lot of time and a lot
of breath. I will give you an answer

right now.

No. But I want a career.

You have a career.

Being a mother is very important, you
know. I know that. And it's only because

of Little Ricky that I want to get my
break in show business.

Well, I know I'm going to be sorry I
asked this, but how do you figure?

Well, you just think ahead a little bit.
When Little Ricky goes to school and

some of his playmates ask to... his
parents are. Yeah?

Just what is he going to have to say?

My father is Ricky Ricardo, the
internationally known entertainer. And

there's my mother, whose name escapes me
for the moment.

Oh, the poor, poor child.

Yeah, well, you see, he heard me. He's
so humiliated, he's crying.

Aren't you the fellow that I saw in
Life's Magazine today?

Gosh.

Could I get your autograph?

Oh, shut up, Fred.

What's the matter, Rick?

Gosh, I thought you'd be feeling great
after all that publicity.

Well, do you happen to notice that they
didn't put one of Lucy's pictures in the

magazine?

So what? The spread was about you.

Well, that's what she's mad about.

She said if I hadn't kept her out of
show business, the spread would have

about both of us.

Oh, now, don't tell me. So she wants to
get the act again, huh? To put it

mildly, yeah.

Well, it's all your own fault.

Not you, too.

Well, I've always felt that you handled
the thing wrong, Rick.

Huh?

How much did Lucy pay you to come in
here and say that?

Oh, now, don't get me wrong. She's like
a million other people that are trying

to break into show business. All they
see is the...

glamour and the stardom. So?

So, why don't you give her a job and let
her see how much good, hard work there

is in it.

Hey, you might got something there.

Yeah.

That's a wonderful idea.

Sure.

Yes, sir.

I think that's a good idea.

I will give her a job in the show.

Sure, give her a job, even if it's a job
in the chorus.

Please, Fred, how dare you say that?

I'll make her a star.

Then she'll really find out what hard
work is.

Ricky, you can be a meanie when you want
to be. Listen, I'll tell you what.

Go over to your apartment and call me on
the telephone, will you? Okay, who am I

supposed to be? It doesn't matter. Just
ring me and then I'll take you from

there. All right. Okay? All right. Thank
you, Fred.

You're welcome.

Hurry up. I will.

Thank you.

I mean, I need one more dancer.

Oh, I see.

Well, what do you want, a blonde or a
brunette?

Oh, a redhead.

I see.

Redhead.

Well, I don't know. I think I'd rather
have a brunette.

Maybe a redhead will be better.

Listen, how tall a dancer do you want?

Small one?

Oh, a tall one, huh?

Well, look, in comparison to my height,
where should she come to? Here or here?

I mean, I don't see exactly what you
mean.

Oh, right about here.

If I can think of anybody, I'll give you
a ring.

All right, goodbye, Jerry. Goodbye.

Look, Ricky, medium height, red hair,
and a dancing fool.

You couldn't possibly mean you for the
dancing part in the show. Ricky, please,

please, baby doll, please.

Oh, no, no, honey, that's completely out
of the question.

I must admit that physically you were
just right for it.

No. But you just said I was just right.

Yeah, I know, but honey, it's a big
part.

It's a lot of dancing in it. A lot of
hard work.

You couldn't take it. Oh, yes, I could.
I'll work day and night. I know I could.

It's what we call a challenge routine.

What? A challenge routine.

You see, I do a step, and then when I
finish, I go like this, and that means

take it. Then you do a step, and when
you finish, you go like that, and that

means that I take it, and so on. Oh,
I've seen them do that. Well, there's

nothing to it. Yeah.

Okay, are you ready?

Uh -huh. Okay.

All right, boys, we start the challenge
routine now from the very top. Come over

here.

Bien, because you stand behind me, see,
and you start with the right foot. Yeah.

You are the star.

Oh, that's right.

I'm fine.

Well, that's good. You know, we've got
to learn this number today. We've got

about two more hours of rehearsal yet.

That's all right. Go ahead. I'm ready.

All right.

Okay, on your feet now. Let's go.

All right.

Okay, here. I'll help you, honey. Up you
go. Come on. Up you go.

Up. Up you go. Here.

You all right?

Yes, sir.

Okay.

There's no use, boy. I can't do it.

Here, honey, I'll help you up.

Now, you see, honey, I was afraid of
this, you see.

All you were thinking was about the
glamour and the stardom. You never

how much hard work goes into show
business. Yeah, I guess you're right.

Sorry I let you down. I'd just like to
go home and rest, thank you. All right,

honey.

Look, now, don't forget.

Don't forget I gave you your big chance.
Oh, yes, honey. You were wonderful. I'm

poof.

Honey, I... I wish there were something
else for you to do in the show, but

there isn't, you know. Oh, that's all
right. I understand.

You still need a girl in that balcony
during the Spanish scene.

What girl? What balcony?

Honey, honey, honey, look, look, look.
Honey, you won't like it. Look, all she

does is just sit in the balcony there
and hold a rose in her teeth.

All she does is just sit there?

Yeah.

Can I do it, Ricky?

Oh, you wouldn't want to do that, honey.
Oh, yes, I would. Yes, I would.

Really. I told everybody I was going to
be in the show, and I promise if you let

me do it this time, I'll never ask you
again.

Oh, hi, honey. Hi, what are you two
doing here?

Where's Mrs. Trumbull? She had to go
visit her sister, so Fred and I are

babysitting. Oh, swell.

How is the baby? He's fine. He's still
asleep.

Oh, that's good.

Hello.

How's the rehearsal going?

Fine.

What's that for?

My part in the show. See, I sit up on
the balcony and hold a rose in my teeth

and Ricky sings the number to me.

Is that all you do in the show?

Well, it's a very important part. The
whole number revolves around me.

I didn't think he'd have nerve enough to
go through with it.

Go through with what?

Well, he was going to pretend to star
you in a big dance number and then

rehearse you so hard you'd get tired and
quit.

What?

Don't get sore. He didn't do it. The
heck he didn't.

And thanks for telling me.

Me and my big blabbermouth.

So he let me do all that dancing and he
had no intention of putting me in the

show, huh?

But you said you were in the show.

Oh, sure. All I do is sit there and hold
a rose. I might as well be a vase.

But you said you had a big important
part and you said you were doing all

in the bum.

Oh, Lucy, do me a favor, will you?

Don't tell Ricky I told you.

Fred, I'll do you a favor on one
condition.

What's that, I'm afraid?

You will help me get even with him. Uh
-oh.

Listen, I remember you told me about a
vaudeville act you used to have. Now,

there's a certain part of that act that
I think I can use.

If you will enlighten me on a few
facts...
