Original subtitles

Lucy, if you're gonna watch television, go in the living room.

If you're gonna eat your dinner, sit down and eat it.

If you'd gotten home on time, we could have finished dinner

before this program started.

Well, I'm sorry, but I have to earn a living.

- Hi, folks! - Hi.

- Hi. - Hi, kids.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you'd be through dinner.

Oh, Ricky had to work late.

Want some coffee?

Just coffee?

Ethel, you can't be hungry again!

Oh, I just want a little sweet taste.

I have some... some brownies, but I'm afraid they're pretty stale.

Stale brownies taste better.

- [Fred chuckling] - Okay.

Just coffee will be fine.

All right, we'll have it in the living room.

- Come on, Federico. - All right.

Can I help you?

Yeah, get me a couple more demitasse cups there, will you, dear?

How've you been, Fred?

Fine, thanks. How are you?

Okay, boy.

Hey, who's going to win that fight Wednesday night?

I don't know. I haven't decided yet.

Say, how about, uh,

me getting a couple of tickets and we go and see it, huh?

How can you go? Don't you have to work?

Oh, didn't I tell you?

They're painting the club.

I got a week off.

Oh, great! A whole week off?

Well, how come you didn't tell me before?

Well, I guess I figured that Lucy would tell Ethel

and Ethel would tell you.

Ethel didn't say a word.

I wonder why old blabbermouth kept it a secret.

- Here's your coffee. - Oh, oh.

[Ricky] Good, good.

There we are.

There you are, Fred.

Ethel, why didn't you tell me Ricky had a week off?

What?

Lucy, why didn't you tell me Ricky had a week off?

Why didn't you tell me Ricky had a week off?

I tol' you.

No, you didn't "tol" me.

- Well, I guess I thought I did. - Well, you didn't.

They're painting the club, so everybody gets a vacation.

- They're painting the club... - I heard, I heard!

Oh, honey, that's sensational.

- When does it start? - It's already started.

- They're beginning to paint tomorrow. - Oh.

Oh, boy, Ricky. What are you going to do with all that time off?

Oh, don't worry about that.

I should say not.

Fred and I are going to see the fights Wednesday night,

on Thursday night I got a poker game,

and some of the boys are lining up a hunting trip for the rest of the week.

Well, haven't you forgotten something, dear?

No.

Are you sure?

Mm-hmm.

Well, I hate to tell you this, but the Lucy Ricardo Travel Bureau

has made other reservations for you.

Such as what?

I can arrange for you to spend

seven glorious days at 623 East 68th Street.

The cuisine is wonderful, the rates are reasonable,

and we have facilities for all the popular sports

such as vacuuming, washing dishes,

hanging diapers out to dry.

Now, Lucy...

Besides, there's a gentleman who lives in this neighborhood

who's just dying to meet you.

He's heard a lot about you

and I think it's high time you two got together.

Who's that?

His name is Ricky Ricardo, Jr.

You mean Little Ricky?

Oh, then you have heard of him!

Now, look, I don't want to start any...

- Uh, let's go, Fred. - Yeah.

We'll go through the kitchen, pick up those brownies on the way out.

- Ethel! - Oh, I'm not gonna eat them.

I'm afraid they're gonna start throwing things.

If they use those brownies, they'll kill each other!

Now, just a minute.

Nobody has to go anyplace.

There's not going to be any arguments.

Lucy's absolutely right.

Oh, yea--

I am?

Yes, you are.

I'm going to cancel everything

and stay right here at home with my child.

It's a boy, you know.

- Oh! - I've heard.

Isn't that wonderful!

Sit down, you two.

Oh, honey, that's just great.

I'll go get Little Ricky. He should be through with his book by now.

- All right. - Book?

Yeah, he likes to spend about an hour with a good book

before he goes to sleep.

Reading it?

No, tearing it.

He sometimes eats a page or two.

Oh, you're crazy.

I'll be right back.

Imagine that!

A whole week off with nothing to do but just hang around the house.

Yeah, I ought to take a week off myself sometime.

From what?

You've been hanging around the house for 23 years.

I wish you'd take a week off and go someplace!

Has it only been 23 years?

Time to go beddy-bye.

- That's a fella. - Aw...

Say good night to Aunt Ethel.

Good night, darling.

- Say good night to Uncle Fred. - Night, son.

Say good night to...

Well, look who's here!

Mr. Ricardo.

How do you do, my boy!

You know I heard a lot about you.

We're going to be spending a lot of time together from now on.

Well, I'll tuck him in and tell him his bedtime story.

- Hey, let me do that. - Do what?

Tuck him in and tell him his bedtime story.

- Come on, my man. Up you go. - Well, okay.

- Give me his bottle here. - Okay.

What's your favorite bedtime story, huh?

"Little Red Riding Hood."

"Little Red Ri..." Oh, yeah!

You sure you know it?

Of course I know it.

My mother used to tell it to me

- when I was little child. - Oh.

We have bedtime stories in Cuba, too, you know.

- You just rest your mind at ease. - Yes, sir.

Come on, boy, come on.

I'll tell you your favorite bedtime story,

"Caperucita Roja."

Oh, isn't it wonderful seeing them together?

Gee, you know, I ...

"Caperucita Roja. " What's that?

I don't know.

Maybe it's "Little Red Riding Hood" in Spanish.

Oh, this I got to see!

- Can we come along? - Sure. Come on, hurry up!

Oh, he's pushing the door for Papa and everything.

Boy, you're a big, strong boy.

Come on, now, come on.

Now, you be a good boy.

Shh... I'm gonna bring your favorite toy.

- Here we go. -

Okay, look at this!

Whoo!

Come on!

Okay, I'm going to tell you your favorite bedtime story,

"Caperucita Roja."

Now, once upon a time,

había una muchachita muy bonita que le decían Caperucita Roja,

porque siempre tenía un red bonnet.

Now, una manaña, su mamá le dio un basket,

y en el basket puso fríjoles, tortillas,

y también le puso allí vino.

Y le dijo, "Caperucita Roja, lleva este basket

"a tu granmamá que está en su casa y tu...

"y tu.. . granmamá está feeling lousy."

Caperucita Roja cogió el basket y dice,

"All right, Mamá, adios, Mamá, " y se fue.

Y entonces miró, y allí estaba el lobo.

Y el lobo dijo, "Buenos días, Caperucita Roja."

Y caperucita dijo, "Buenos días, Señor Lobo."

Y el lobo dijo, "Qué tiene allí en el basket?"

Y Caperucita dijo, "Aquí en el basket

"Tengo fríjoles, tortillas y vino

"que se lo voy a llevar a granmamá

"que está feeling lousy."

Y el lobo dijo, "muy bien.

Eh, porque no vas por el jardín and pick some flowers?"

Y Caperucita dijo, "All right, muy bien."

Y se fue por el jardín to pick the flowers.

Y entonces el lobo dijo, "Aha! Granmamá en la casa!"

Boom, boom, boom!

Y granmamá dice, "Halo, quien está allí?"

Y el lobo dijo, "Caperucita Roja."

Y granmama dice, "Venga! Entra, entra!"

Y el lobo abrió la puerta y entró

y estaba la granmamá en la cama.

Mmm... mmm-mm, mmm!

Mmm. Not bad!

Mmm...

Y entonces se metio en la cama y cogió el blanket y se cubrió.

Y Caperucita estaba por allá por el bosque pickando the flowers.

Y llego a la casa de granmamá y abrió la puerta,

"Buenos días, Granmamá."

Y el lobo dijo, "Buenos días, Caperucita."

Y Caperucita dijo, "Granmamá! What big orejas tu tienes!"

Y el lobo dijo, "Sí! Para oírte mejor, my dear."

Y Caperucita dijo, "Granmamá! What big ojos tu tienes!"

Y el lobo dijo, "Sí! Para verte mejor, my dear."

Y Caperucita dijo, "Granmamá!"

"Que boca tan grande tu tienes!"

Y el lobo dijo, "To eat you with!"

Y entonces vino ya el hunter

y el hunter hizo boom, boom, boom!

Y el lobo se cayo muerto.

Dead!

Y Caperucita, "Gracias, Señor Lobo.

"Gracias Señor. Gracias Señor El Hunter.

"Gracias por matar el lobo."

Y el Señor Hunter dijo, "No hay de que, Caperucita Roja."

Y entonces se sentaron para comer el dinner

y se comieron las tortillas, los fríjoles y el vino

y todo el mundo vivió happily ever after!

Now, good night, old man. Good night.

Wasn't that cute!

- El lobo! - Shh!

Stop! He was cute!

Fred.

- Sit down. - Sit down.

Well, how did it go, dear?

Oh, fine, real good.

Isn't it fun telling him a bedtime story?

Oh, yeah. Did you see the expression on his face when I did el lobo?

Yeah. Wasn't that the cute...

What do you mean, did I see the ex...

Did you know we were out there?

Well, I didn't know it all the time.

At first I thought it was mice, but I never heard a mice giggle before.

I didn't know you were there till the very end.

It's wonderful taking care of the baby.

Why don't you let me take complete charge while I'm home?

You mean everything?

Yeah, all day, everything.

That means getting up at 6:00.

So? That's not so tough.

Well, I don't know if you've noticed, working nights and all,

but there's a 6:00 in the morning, too.

I know, I know.

Now, look, starting tomorrow morning, you don't have to worry about anything.

I'll get up and take care of the baby,

and you can stay in bed and sleep as long as you want.

Sleep as long as I want!

Oh, honey, that sounds so wonderful!

Isn't that great!

Ricky! Ricky!

Ricky! Ricky!

Ricky, the baby's gone!

Ricky! Ricky...

[Ricky] Okay, my boy, are you ready for your breakfast?

[Ricky] Yes, sir,

nothing like a big breakfast!

Spanish omelet with green onions,

green peppers and mushrooms.

Spanish omelet!

Come on, you got to eat all of your oatmeal.

All your oatmeal, come on.

Come on. Then you grow big and strong

and you can have a Spanish omelet, like your old man.

Come on, there you go.

[Ricky] There you are.

Listen, we'd better put a napkin on you because if you get some...

[Ricky] Mommy will get mad.

Don't you want any more?

Okay, you had enough.

Come on. We go get dressed for the day, eh?

We're gonna go out and play football and we're gonna box

and we're gonna have a wonderful time. Come on.

Up we go! Up we go!

That's a boy! That's a boy!

Yes, sir!

Shh!

We don't want to wake Mommy up.

This is the first good rest she's had in a long time.

Lucy, will you stop pacing back and forth!

I'm getting a crick in my neck.

Sorry, I guess I'm a little nervous.

After all, this is the first time Ricky's had to take care

of the baby all day all by himself.

- Now, listen, Lucy. -

- What's that? - What's what?

- I heard a cry. - Oh, wait a minute.

That was Mrs. Trumbull's cat.

Are you sure?

I am, unless Little Ricky's sitting

on the windowsill going "meow."

Come on, sit down, relax.

All right.

Oh, go get your hat and coat. We're going shopping.

Oh, yeah, I guess it would be better if I got away from here.

Sure. This is your big day off, remember?

Oh, yeah. I'm just being silly.

I'll go get my things.

Look, Ricky.

- - Hey, Rick.

How about that?

- Hi! - Hi!

- Oh, hi. - How are you doing?

- Fine. - Just fine.

Uh, Ethel and I thought we'd go shopping.

- Good, honey, go ahead. - Fine.

Uh...

He likes this horseback-riding business, you know?

Yeah, what a jockey he'd make.

Who do you like in the fifth at Santa Anita?

If you'd rather I didn't go shopping, I don't have to go.

Oh, now, honey, stop being a worrywart.

I'm not a worrywart!

Well, you run along. We'll be just fine.

Say goodbye, Mommy.

- Okay, bye. - Goodbye, Mommy.

- Bye-bye, darling. - Goodbye, Mommy.

Bye-bye, darling.

- Say "Bye-bye, Mommy." - Bye-bye, darling.

Bye-bye, Mommy.

- Oh, baby. - Yeah.

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye, Mommy.

- [Fred] Hey, Rick. - Yeah?

- What's the matter with this set? - Oh, I'll tune it, Fred.

- Oh, I can fix it. - No, no, no, no, Fred.

Wait a minute. I'll do it, I'll do it.

Let me do it, wait, hold it. No, hold it.

Wait a minute. This is a very funny thing here.

You got to know how to do it.

[Fred] Coming in now.

[Ricky] It is?

Yeah, that's the game. There you are.

[Fred] Well, get over there. Sit down. Let's watch it.

This is the big game, yeah.

Oh, kickoff.

Wow, wow, wow, what's he doing?

Well, I'm ready.

I'm sorry I took so long.

I wasn't going to...

Lucy, you going to look like that all afternoon?

Probably.

Now, listen, honey,

you got to get used to being separated from your son.

That's part of being a mother.

I don't see why.

Well ...

it just is.

Uh, first, he'll go to school,

and then he'll go away to college,

and then he'll get married and leave home altogether.

Oh... no!

Oh, don't cry. He'll come home for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Oh.

That is, if his mother-in-law doesn't mind.

Oh...

Come on, you'll feel better when we get in the stores.

Well, maybe you're right.

Oh!

Oh, Little Ricky!

What was he doing in the hall?

That's what I'd like to know!

Honey, are you all right?

- Lucy! - Honey...

- What? - Your door's open!

He must have crawled out and they didn't even miss him!

Oh, no!

Oh, no, honey, sneak... sneak down and close that door.

- Okay. - I've got an idea.

I closed the door.

Listen... listen, you take care of the baby.

I'm gonna give a certain absent-minded Cuban

a lesson he'll never forget.

Okay. Come on here, darling.

Yes, it's all right, sweetie pie.

Come on, sweetie. Here we are.

Turn that down a little bit, will you, Fred?

Yeah.

Hello.

Oh, hello, dear.

Oh, hi, honey.

Ethel and I were just getting ready to leave

and I thought I'd check and see how Little Ricky was.

Oh, honey, stop worrying.

He's fine.

He's just... fine.

Oh, is he?

Sure, sure.

Uh, well, uh, put him on, dear.

I'd like to say goodbye to him.

Wait a minute!

Fred, where's Little Ricky?

- I don't know. - Look in the bedroom, will you?

Little Ricky?

Little Ricky!

Little Ricky?

He's not in there, Rick.

Uh... uh...

Honey, Little busy's Ricky right now.

What's that?

Little Ricky's busy right now.

Busy doing what?

He's... watching the-the football game

- with-with his Uncle Fred. - Oh.

Yeah, I'll have him call you right after the game.

Gee, I didn't want to upset Lucy.

Fred, where is he? Where is he?

I haven't got him!

He-He couldn't have left. The door is closed.

He's got to be in the apartment someplace.

Maybe he's hiding.

Yeah, he's playing hide-and-seek. That's it!

- Little Ricky! - Little Ricky!

- Little Ricky! - Little Ricky?

- Little Ricky! - Little Ricky?

Olly olly oxen free!

Little Ricky? Little Ricky?

Little Ricky!

Fred, he must have gotten out in the hallway someplace.

I'll go get him.

I'll call the police.

Call the police? What for?

Well, every time a kid wanders away,

you go down and look in the police station,

and you find them there eating an ice cream cone.

Okay, call the police.

Hello-o-o!

Hello.

I forgot my gloves.

Oh.

Where's Little Ricky?

Uh... he-he's taking a nap.

Oh, another nap? He already had one, dear.

I-I-I know, yeah, but his little eyes got very tired

watching television, and he wants to take another nap.

Oh, well, maybe I'd better take a look at him, then.

No!

- Lucy... - Why not?

Uh, uh, uh, well, uh. ...

You see, his team lost, and he's pretty upset.

That's right, yeah, his team lost, he's very upset.

- Oh, well... - Yeah.

You-you run along, dear.

No, no, I-I think I'll wait and see him when he wakes up.

- I miss him, darling. - Oh.

I'd better go look at the furnace.

Yeah, look at the furnace. It's cold in here. Go ahead, Fred.

Goodbye.

He-He-He might sleep for a long time.

He was very tired.

- I'll wait. - Oh.

Anything wrong?

Wha-Whatcha...

Nothing's wrong. Everything is fine.

I want to see my baby.

Now, Lucy, wait a minute.

I don't like the way you're acting. I'll bet he isn't even in there.

Now, honey...

[Ricky] Now, honey, don't be silly.

He couldn't possibly be...

Aha!

Aha.

He's here!

I mean, he's here.

Hel-Hel-Hello, Son!

Hello, sweetheart.

How wonderful ...

Uh, uh, come here, come to Mama, darling.

Hello, baby.

Hi, baby.

- Hello. - Hi, sweetheart.

Hello, dear. Hello, Honey.

[Ethel] Lucy! Lucy!

- Lucy! - Yeah?

- He's gone! - Who's gone?

Uh... uh... uh, Fred.

I can't find him anywhere.

- Here I am! - Fred's here.

Hello, son.

Did you have a nice nap?
