Ford...

and the Ford dealers of your community present

the new Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show.

With guest star...

Fernando Lamas.

And, of course, Vivian Vance, William Frawley and Little Ricky.

What are you doing?

I'm looking for something.

Well, what in the world are you looking for?

A new set of guitar strings I put in this closet in here.

Why do you have to keep this closet in such a "hush-push"?

It's not in such a "hush-push."

I know exactly where everything is.

All right then. Find my guitar strings.

Gladly.

Honestly.

Why all of a sudden do you need your guitar?

Because all of a sudden I may be doing a television show this week.

I thought that fell through.

Well, it hasn't fallen through. My agent's still working on the deal.

- So just in case, I want to be ready. - All right.

Oh, look, honey.

What's all that junk?

Junk?

These are mementos.

Souvenirs of our courtship and our wedding and everything.

Oh.

- What about my guitar strings? - Look.

- Look, honey. - What's that?

Don't you remember the night we first met in Havana,

you gave me this corsage?

I gave you a corsage of old tobacco leaves?

These are violets.

Violets?

Well, they looked a little better 17 years ago.

Yeah, well, we all did.

Oh, honey, look at this picture of us.

- What's so funny? -

We look like two scared rabbits.

- When was that taken? - The day we got married.

I think it's a very sweet picture of us.

Honestly, Ricky, where's your sentiment?

Isn't there anything in there that's dear to your heart?

Yeah. Here's something that's dear to my heart.

- Well, good. What is it? - My guitar strings.

- Hi, honey. - Hi, Ethel.

I'm returning your iron.

- Fred finally fixed ours. - Okay.

What's all this junk?

Ethel, this junk happens to be some of my most treasured keepsakes.

Oh, sentimental junk.

Gee, Ethel. Ricky didn't even remember what these things were.

Little things like this used to mean a lot to him.

When we were first going together, we were so lovey-dovey.

I just can't believe he's forgotten

all the little things that meant so much to us.

I guess he was just preoccupied with that television show.

Sure, that's it. He was just preoccupied.

Why, the romance hasn't gone out of our marriage at all.

Are you trying to convince me or you?

I'm trying to convince you. I haven't doubted it for a minute.

- Okay, if you say so. -

Oh, look.

Here's the record Ricky made for me of our song.

What happened to it?

Well, it got sort of broken.

How?

- I sort of sat on it. - Oh.

"Bells."

"Jingle."

Your romantic song was "Jingle Bells"?

Yeah, well, Ricky proposed to me on Christmas Eve.

Besides, it was the only song he knew in English.

Aw, he was so cute when he used to sing it to me.

♪ Yingle bells, yingle bells ♪

♪ Yingle all the way ♪

♪ Oh, what... ♪

Oh, that's very romantic.

Well, it was to us.

And I know this is one thing Ricky will never forget.

I wouldn't count on it if I were you.

Let's face it, Lucy. Men are all alike.

They're just not sentimental.

Ricky is.

He would remember this.

I'll prove it to you.

Hi, Rick.

Oh, hi, Ethel.

Honey, will you stop doing that in my ear? I'm trying to tune up my guitar.

Ricky, darling, please listen.

Now, you know what that is, don't you?

You're imitating a bumblebee?

Don't you remember that song?

- Oh, that song? - Yes.

"Yingle Bells"!

You will never forget that, will you?

How could I?

Little Ricky drove us crazy last year rehearsing it for the Christmas pageant.

Ethel Mertz, if you say one word, I'll never speak to you again.

I wasn't going to open my mouth.

Ethel was right.

Ricky Ricardo, you're-- you're nothing but a man!

I am not.

I am too.

What are we talking about?

We're talking about the fact

that the romance has completely gone out of our marriage.

Now, how did you arrive at this conclusion?

I'll tell you how.

You didn't remember the first flowers you gave me.

You didn't remember our wedding picture. You didn't even remember our song.

Hi, Mommy. Hi, Daddy.

I'll bet you don't even remember him!

Now, Lucy, don't you think you're being a little silly?

No, I'm not being silly.

Our marriage used to be romantic, and now it's just plain stale.

Now, honey, wait a minute.

Oh, sweetheart, I didn't...

Oh, there. Oh, baby, you know,

I didn't realize you were serious about this.

- Yeah, well... - I'm sorry, honey.

It's just-- I had so many things on my mind lately,

I haven't been very thoughtful.

Yeah, you can say that again.

Well, I-I-I promise you that from now on,

I am going to be the very, very romantic husband.

Really?

And just to prove it, you know what I'm gonna do?

What?

Next week I'm gonna take you on a second honeymoon, just the two of us.

Where?

Well, you know where we always wanted to go

and we could not afford on our first honeymoon?

Sun Valley.

- Sun Valley? - Right!

Oh, honey, how wonderful!

- - Oh.

- ♪ Yingle bells, yingle bells ♪ - ♪ Yingle bells ♪

♪ Yingle all the way ♪

♪ Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh ♪

Hey, is it Christmas again?

Is it Christmas again?

Oh, hi, Fred.

Hi. Lucy asked me to bring this up from the basement.

Oh. Where is she?

She's gone into town to get some clothes for Sun Valley. Ethel went with her.

Oh, well, thanks a lot, Fred, but we're not gonna be needing this.

That's what you think.

When she gets through picking those department stores clean,

you'll need a dozen of those things.

Well, you don't understand, Fred.

The television show came through, so we can't go to Sun Valley.

Oh? Does Lucy know?

Well, so long, Rick.

Where you going?

Down to the storm cellar until this blows over.

Oh, now, Fred, come back here.

- It won't be so bad. - No?

No. When Lucy comes home, I'll just say, you know, that the...

Well, I'll-- I'll-- I'll tell her exactly what the...

I'll just simply...

Is there room for both of us in the storm cellar?

Rick, I think you'd better call the television show off.

- I can't. I signed the contract already. - Oh.

No, Fred, believe me.

When I explain to her what happened, she'll be very understanding.

Oh, by the way,

they were looking for somebody to sing an old-fashioned ballad.

So I mentioned your name. Are you interested?

Well, you're darn tootin'. Ha-ha!

I knew if I waited long enough, my type would come back in style.

Little Ricky's going to be in the show too.

- Oh, fine. - He's gonna play the drums.

- Great. - Isn't that nice?

Hi, fellas. Oh, Ricky, wait till you see what I bought!

Some of the cutest outfits you ever laid your eyes on.

- Sweetie... - Look at this turtleneck sweater.

- Goes with the ski pants I bought. - Sweetie...

And, of course, this peasant cardigan.

- Isn't it out of this world? - Honey...

And this Italian silk scarf-- What's the matter?

Wh-Wh-What makes you think that anything's the matter?

Two "sweeties" and a "honey."

Well ...

about Sun Valley.

What about Sun Valley?

Now look, Lucy, I know that you are mature enough

to take a little disappointment.

Now, the fact of the matter is that, well,

the television show came through

and we cannot go to Sun Valley.

Oh.

Well, that's all right, dear.

Certainly, I'm mature enough to take a little disappointment.

I'm not a child.

Good girl. I'm proud of you.

See, I told you that if I explained it to her,

she would be very understanding.

What were you saying, Rick?

You don't love me anymore!

- Now, honey. - Don't "honey" me.

Business means more to you than our marriage.

All you think about is the almighty peso!

That's not so!

Now, honey, no, don't cry like that.

I didn't think you'd be the kind of husband

that would let our marriage get stale and humdrum

like some other husbands I know.

Now wait a minute.

I never let our marriage get stale and humdrum.

Did I, honeybunch?

How could you? It started that way.

Now, look, honey. Honey, I got an idea, dear.

Now wait a minute. Wait a minute, sweetheart.

I got an idea. Look, the week after next I can get away.

And then we'll go to Sun Valley.

We'll really get to go?

You bet, sweetheart. I'll call Union Pacific.

- I'll change the reservations. We'll go. - All right.

That's a good idea. Week after next. That's...

Oh, no. Oh, dear.

What's the matter?

Oh, I just remembered something.

Week after next I-I got to do a show for the Press Club.

Oh, honey, don't worry.

We'll go sometime.

When?

Well, maybe next month.

- Next month? - Yeah.

- Next month, it'll be the next month. - No, no.

Then the month after that it'll be the next month after that.

Oh, maybe the only way I'll get to go on my second honeymoon

is to go without you.

All right, if that's the way you feel, maybe you should go without me.

Maybe I will.

Maybe it's a good idea for husbands and wives

to take separate honeymoons.

Why didn't we think of that?

Oh, dry up.

Maybe Little Ricky would like to go with me.

He can't go either. He's also gonna do the show.

Ethel, would you care to join me on my second honeymoon?

Sure. It's got to be better than my first.

Now, hold it. Hold it.

Who's paying for this crazy trip?

I asked her. I'll pay for it.

- Fred, where are you going? - To pack your bags.

Come on.

You're really gonna go to Sun Valley without me, huh?

I certainly am.

Unless, of course, you change your mind and cancel the show and come with me.

I can't do that! I gotta stay here and do that show!

All right, then I'm going without you.

All right, go ahead.

Don't worry, I will.

Okay.

And I'll have a wonderful time too.

- All right. - So, there.

All right!

Pretty.

Oh, look, Lucy, a polar bear made out of ice!

Isn't that fantastic?

It's okay, if you like polar bears made out of ice.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

Honestly.

Oh, look, honey, a real live antelope!

Even you oughta get a kick out of him.

Gee, isn't he cute? I wish I had something to feed him.

I've got a bag of potato chips in my pocket. Here.

I thought maybe you might have.

You go feed him, and I'll get your picture, honey.

Okay.

[Ethel] Oh, this is gonna make a--

Oh, honey!

I'd have gotten that.

Now kneel down.

Get a little closer.

Now hold it.

What's the matter now?

He's got big brown eyes just like Ricky.

Did you ever see such scenery in your life?

This place is just fabulous.

Yeah, fabulous.

Snow everywhere you look.

As far as the eye can see, pure, sparkling snow.

Isn't it beautiful?

It's all right, if you like white.

Lucy, let me take a picture of you against this background.

Oh, you're too close.

No, I'm not.

Get over there.

Oh, come on now, give me a nice smile.

Can't you do better than that?

This is my smile. Take it or leave it.

Oh, isn't this beautiful?

No, it's cold.

Oh, honestly.

Lucy, guess who just walked in the door.

Who?

Fernando Lamas.

Oh, that's nice.

Did you ever see a more gorgeous hunk of man?

Yes.

- Who? - Ricky.

Gee, I wish he was here.

I'm glad Fred isn't here. I'd throw rocks at him.

- Lucy. - What?

Let's take pictures of each other with him.

Please, Ethel, I'm too upset about Ricky to care anything about movie stars.

Why would I possibly want a picture of myself with Fernando Lamas?

After all, I have a whole...

Wait a minute.

Ethel, you just had a great idea.

- I did? - Yes.

Listen, if you took a picture of me with Fernando Lamas,

I could mail it to Ricky and just casually mention in the letter

that I've been seeing a lot of him.

I get it.

He looks at the picture, reads the letter...

His eyes bug out with jealousy.

He yells, "¡Mira que tiene cosa!"

He rushes out here...

And punches Fernando Lamas in the nose.

Yes!

No, Ethel, not at all.

He rushes out here, sweeps me into his arms

and never lets me out of his sight again.

That sounds pretty good.

Now, look, I'll just sort of wander over there

and stand close to him so it'll look like I'm with him.

- And you snap the picture. - Wait a minute.

Wouldn't it be simpler just to ask

to have your picture taken with him like we did with the stars in Hollywood?

And get turned down like we did with the stars in Hollywood?

Now get ready. When I nod my head, you take the picture.

Oh, I was never so embarrassed in my life.

Did you get a good one?

Well, if Ricky will get jealous

over a picture of Fernando's Adam's apple, you're in.

- Oh, Ethel. - I couldn't help it.

Just as I snapped it, he leaned back.

Oh, well, let me try again. And this time, make sure.

Okay.

Well?

Now we have a picture of his Adam's apple and one of you going like this...

I couldn't help it. I got pepper in my nose.

Let me try once more.

Okay.

- May I have more coffee, please? - I'll be right back, Mr. Lamas.

Madam, what do you think you're doing?

Oh!

Oh, Mr. Lamas, I'm terribly sorry.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

Oh, that's all right.

I always dunk my salami sandwiches.

- Oh, you do? - Yes.

Mr. Lamas, she wanted to have her picture taken with you.

- Yes. - Oh? Well, why didn't you ask me?

Oh, would you?

Of course. I'd be glad to.

- Oh! - Yes.

We can do it while my sandwich is drying out.

Oh.

Um, would you mind taking it outside?

Not at all. We can take advantage of the beautiful scenery.

- Oh, yeah. - We can be on our skis.

Oh, Lucy does--

Uh, splendid.

On our skis, yes, sir.

Well, fine, then.

- I'll meet you right outside, eh? - Okay.

All right?

There you are, honey.

- You're all ready. - Okay, thanks.

Where is he?

Over there.

Come on, let's get a good picture.

Oh, Ethel!

- Ethel! - Huh?

Oh! Help me.

This one's wrong.

- No kidding. Get me out of this. - This one has to come over there.

Oh, honey.

Ow! Oh!

- Come here and help me. - Okay.

What do I do?

This is certainly a lot harder than it looked in the newsreels.

- Are they together? - Yeah.

- Now wait a minute. - Whoa! Whoo!

- Wait till I straighten up. - Okay.

Whoa!

Now point me in the right direction.

Hi.

Hello.

You don't ski?

Oh, yes, I'm quite a skier.

Ethel's my... caddie.

Yeah.

Shall we take the picture?

[Ethel] Yes, let's get the picture.

How do you like this beautiful background?

Oh, it's wonderful.

- I can see the whole valley. - Yeah.

- Now stand real close to him, honey. Okay. - Yeah.

That's it.

Now get in closer.

Closer. I can't see you in the camera.

There, if you get in real close,

that will make a better picture.

Now lean forward so you'll look professional.

[Fernando] Ay-ay-ay!

Hang on, honey!

Hang on!

Oh, Mr. Lamas, Mr. Lamas, please stop this thing.

- I want to get off. - I can't. We're going too fast.

Do you plan to go around those trees?

I plan to try.

Good.

You're--

You are choking me.

Slow down! I'm scared!

So am I.

You can't be scared. You're driving.

Oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh!

Mr. Lamas?

Mr. Lamas?

Ew.

- Oh, good morning, Mr. Lamas. - Oh, good morning.

Are you going skiing today?

I'm afraid not. I had an accident skiing yesterday.

I bruised some ribs. I'm all taped up.

Oh, I'm sorry. How'd that happen?

Well, some crazy redhead wanted to have her picture taken with me.

So, there we were on top of Mount Baldy, posing.

Next thing I knew, she pushed me off, jumped on my back,

covered my eyes and we skied up a tree.

Mr. Fairchild, telephone.

- Excuse me, Mr. Lamas. - Yes, of course.

- It's you. I should have known. - Yeah. Mr. Lamas, I'm terribly sorry.

I'd like to apologize.

Oh, that's perfectly all right. I'm sorry I lost my temper.

Oh, that's all right.

I rather enjoyed being balled out in Spanish again.

What?

My husband is Cuban.

Oh, Cuba, such a lovely place.

- Yes, Havana is particularly beautiful. - Just beautiful.

It's been wonderful seeing you, Mrs...

Ricardo, Lucy Ricardo.

- Ricardo? - Yes.

- Cuban? - Yes.

Not Ricky Ricardo!

Yes. You know him?

Of course. We worked together at MGM.

Really?

Yes. When we left the studio,

the lion was roaring with a Spanish accent.

Oh... Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

I forgot about your ribs.

That's all right. That's perfectly all right.

- I'm terribly sor-- - Goodbye.

[Lucy] Goodbye.

- Lucy? - Hmm?

Was that Mr. Lamas?

Yes, and I apologized for yesterday, and he couldn't have been nicer.

Well, that's good,

because I'm afraid we're going to have to prevail upon his services again.

What do you mean?

Well, uh, I don't think the picture I took yesterday

is gonna make Ricky very jealous.

Oh, Ethel, what happened? This is just a picture of snow.

Where are we?

Well ...

I think about halfway down Mount Baldy.

Oh, Ethel.

I'm sorry, honey. I sure goofed.

Oh, well, let's go home.

We'll never get Ricky out here.

Oh, now, Lucy, don't give up.

- We'll think of some way. - How?

Uh, oh, um...

Why don't you call Ricky and tell him you've been seeing a lot of Mr. Lamas?

He'd never believe me. He'd know it was one of my tricks.

I guess you're right.

I know. I'll call Fred and have him tell him.

Do you think he'd believe Fred?

Of course! Fred may be grouchy and he may be tight,

but somehow he's got "honesty" written all over his sour little face.

- That's true. - Yeah.

- Well, go ahead. Give it a try. - Okay.

Uh, they'll be rehearsing at the studio. I'd better call there, huh?

- Yeah. - All right.

- Ethel? - Hmm?

Tell Fred to tell Ricky that I'm having a wonderful time.

Perfectly wonderful.

You be sure and tell him.

Show's going along great, huh, Rick?

Yeah, I guess so.

Oh, come on, snap out of it. Don't be so down in the dumps.

I'm not down in the dumps.

You're giving a great imitation.

You're a disgrace to red-blooded husbands everywhere.

Married 17 years, your wife's away and you miss her.

I do not miss her!

Oh, Fred, there's a long-distance phone call for you.

- For me? - Yeah. Your wife from Sun Valley.

Oh.

I wonder why Ethel is calling you from Sun Valley.

I don't know, but at these prices,

she'd better have a broken leg or something.

Uh, Rick, I'd like to get a balance on Little Ricky's number, okay?

All right.

Where you want it from?

- You want it from his drum solo? - Yeah, yeah.

All right. We'll take it from your drum solo, Vernon.

I'll give you the tempo, all right?

Here we go. One, two...

Ay!

That's very good, partner.

Thanks, Daddy.

That was wonderful, Ricky.

- Let's go check your costume, huh? - Okay.

Come on.

How about that, huh?

[Fred] Excuse me, fellas.

Oh, uh, why-why did Ethel call you?

Um, are they really having a good time?

Did she say anything about...

How is Ethel anyway?

Just the same. How do you like that?

She had the nerve to call me all the way from Sun Valley,

and she hasn't got a broken bone in her body.

Aw, come on, Fred, admit it.

You enjoy talking to her.

Oh, it's all right, I... guess.

Now, listen, Rick.

I know it's none of my business,

and I probably shouldn't even tell you this,

but Ethel says that actor, that, uh, Lamas...

What's his name?

- Fernando Lamas? - That's the guy.

He's up there, staying at the hotel where the girls are.

And Lucy's spending a lot of time with him.

- Oh? - Yeah, they're thick as thieves.

Skiing, skating, sleigh riding.

Well, what's so funny?

Don't you see?

She's just trying to make me "yealous"

so I'll go up there.

It's another one of Lucy's hairbrain schemes.

Oh, no, it isn't.

It's one of Ethel's hairbrain...

- I knew it. - I told her you wouldn't fall for it.

- Of course I wouldn't fall for it. - Oh, come on, Rick.

Can't you swallow your pride and run out there for the weekend?

Nothing doing.

If there's any pride to be swallowed, let her swallow hers and come home.

Okay, everybody.

Fred, you want to dress your number for camera?

Yeah.

Perry, you want to get in front of pickup?

Harry, look, pull way back in this camera shot here.

Way back. I want to come in nice and long on this shot.

Okay, Fred.

♪ Come to me, my melancholy ♪

♪ Baby ♪

That was great, Fred.

Well, thanks, Rick.

- What's the matter with you? - Oh, I don't know.

The song really got me, I guess.

That... That gulp you just heard was me swallowing my pride.

- Then you're going up to see Lucy? - You bet your life.

Aw, good boy!

I'll fly out there, surprise her for the weekend.

Good!

And I'll say hello to Ethel for you.

- You won't have to. I'll say hello myself. - Huh?

Can I help it if I sang that song so good, it got me too?

Listen, they said someone wanted to see us here in the lobby.

- You know anything about it? - Oh, yes. They'll be right down there.

- Surprise! - Surprise!

- Oh, Ricky! - Oh, Fred!

Oh, honey, am I glad to see you!

Oh, gee, I was lonesome.

You were?

Yeah. Where's Little Ricky?

- He's staying with your mother, honey. - Oh.

Fred and I thought we'd surprise you for the weekend.

Oh, well, you sure did.

I bet you're sure surprised, Ethel.

Surprised? I'm flabbergasted.

To think you'd spend all that money to come way out here

just to see little old me.

Well, I figured coming out here was cheaper

than those long-distance phone calls.

Oh, Fred, sometimes you're awful cute.

You really are.

Now look at you. I missed you. I'm here.

Now take your hands off me.

Well, Ethel, I guess our little scheme worked, huh?

Honey, now that you're here, I want to confess something.

- What? - I haven't really been seeing him at all.

Him who?

Fernando Lamas.

Oh, oh, oh, yeah, that's right. I was supposed to be "yealous."

I'm not "yealous."

- You're not? - No.

Well, then, why did you come all the way out here?

Well, 'cause I was lonesome. I miss you.

Is that all?

You mean you didn't believe that story?

Course not, honey. I came here because I love you.

What kind of a reason is that?

Why didn't you believe that story about Fernando Lamas and me?

Well, honey, after all... I mean, you and Fernando Lamas.

I mean, it's... you know, it's...

It's so ridiculous, I mean...

I don't see what's so ridiculous about it.

Honey, you just said you made the whole thing up yourself.

All right, I made it up, but it could have happened.

Just because you think of me as a-a-a wife

doesn't mean that Fernando Lamas couldn't find me attractive.

I didn't say that he couldn't find you attractive.

- Yes, you did. - No, honey, I did not.

Oh, now, just a minute, you two.

- Let's not all get hot under the collar. - Oh, never mind.

Now, look, Lucy. I came here because I was lonesome.

Isn't that enough?

No, it's not enough.

Anyway, how could you be lonesome for an unattractive old frump like me?

I didn't say that you were an unattractive old frump.

You implied it.

- I did not imply it. - You did too.

Oh, brother.

Sometimes I wonder why did I come up here at all.

Well, so do I. As far as I'm concerned, you can spend the weekend by yourself!

Oh, Lucy!

Oh, dear.

Ay-ay-ay. Just a minute!

But...

what are you going to do?

- - Just a minute.

- Ricky! - Oh, Fernando!

Hey, hombre. ¿Cómo te va? ¿Qué dice de bueno?

- Fine, amigo. ¿Cómo estás? - Encantado de la vida.

- Boy, I haven't seen you in a long time. - That's right, yes.

Listen, Fernando, I-I-I, I, um...

- You know, I just got here yesterday. - Mm-hmm.

And, uh, I got a little problem. I-I-I wondered if you would help me out.

Fine, fine.

I understand you met my wife, Lucy.

Yes.

Well... Uh, you see, we had a fight, you know, so...

And she came up here alone, you know.

And then she saw you and she got an idea,

and she-she got somebody telling me

that you were seeing a lot of each other

so I would come up here because I was "yealous."

Uh, "yealous"?

Sí, celoso.

Oh, "yealous"!

"Yealous."

Well, I didn't believe it, you know,

and then I laughed at her and I hurt her feelings.

- Oh. - So now I'm in the doghouse.

So, I thought maybe, you know, you could, uh...

Well, this afternoon we're gonna be down in the skating rink.

- Ah, I get it. I get it. - Come over.

Do you want me to make a fuss over her, and you pretend to get mad?

- All right? - I'll do it.

- Well, thanks a lot. - That's all right.

I mean, you know, this might sound a little silly, you know,

but, well, Lucy's a...

well, she's a little... you know...

- Yes, I know. - Well...

I sure appreciate it.

That's all right.

So I'll see you in the ice-skating rink this afternoon.

- Wonderful. - And you dance with her...

Wonderful. Perfect.

Ah, but remember, this is "yest" between us.

"Yest" between us.

Sí. Bye.

All right. Bye.

Qué cosa bárbara. ¿Se puede bañar por aca?

- - Just a minute!

¡Qué cosa bárbara!

- - Yes! Yes!

¡Qué cosa bárbara! Dime la gente los interro...

Mr. Lamas, remember me? I'm Ethel Mertz, who took the picture.

Yes, I remember.

- From the mountain. - Yes.

Could I talk to you?

Well, I'm afraid I don't have any time now.

You see, I have an interview in a few minutes. An appointment.

Well, this'll just take a minute.

I know it's terrible of me to ask you a favor,

but you're the only one who can help.

I understand you met Ricky out in Hollywood.

- Yes, yes. - Well, Lucy and Ricky had a fight,

and I thought maybe if you could act kind of interested in her,

it'd make Ricky jealous,

and then she could see that her husband wasn't taking her for granted.

The whole thing, um...

What's the matter?

I never saw a movie star in his bathrobe before.

Oh, we wear bathrobes.

Oh, yeah. Well.

This afternoon we're gonna go skating,

and I thought maybe if you'd just drop by the table and...

Oh, Mr. Lamas.

Madame, please, control yourself.

Yes, I-I'm all right.

I have a shower to take, and we have a marriage to save.

- Then you'll do it? - I'll do it.

Oh, Mr. Lamas, you're just wonderful.

- Thank you. - Oh, thank you so much.

Thank you.

Now remember, this is our little secret.

Ay-ay-ay.

Se me a hecho tan tarde. Mira que tiene cosa a gente está.

Qué bárbaridad con las interrupciones

es cierto que ni se baña uno y ni se hace nada.

Qué cosa bárbara...

Just a minute!

Qué cosa bárbara.

Con las interrupciones de la gente todo el mundo...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Yes?

Hi there. My name is Fred Mertz.

I think you met my wife.

Yes, she was just...

Yes, I have.

Well, this might seem a little bit crazy to you,

but I'm gonna ask you to do me a favor, Ferdinand.

Fernando.

Yeah.

You see, my friend, uh...

My friend Ricky Ricardo and his wife have had a fight,

and I was wondering if we couldn't...

You want me to make a fuss over her so he gets jealous,

and she'll realize he's not taking her for granted.

Yeah. Hey, you catch on quick, don't you?

But I don't know just how we're gonna arrange this.

Well, how about this afternoon at the skating rink?

I could ask Lucy to skate with me.

Well, that's swell. How did you happen to think of that?

Well, I don't know.

I guess this is old stuff to you Latin lovers, eh, amigo?

Now, one thing, remember, we got to keep this just between us.

"Yust" between us.

I sure appreciate this, Ferdinand.

Fernando.

Yeah.

Well, gracias.

¡Qué bárbaridad, hombre! ¡Qué bárbaridad!

I'm very sorry to bother you, Mr. Lamas.

It's perfectly all right.

But I have a very, very large favor to ask of you.

You see, my husband, Ricky, uh, got here,

and I had told him that you were interested in me.

And, well, he didn't believe me,

and I thought maybe this afternoon at the skat...

Do you know that you're soaking wet?

Lucy, have you noticed

Fernando Lamas hasn't taken his eyes off you?

Really? No, I hadn't noticed.

Well, I have.

- Hello. - Hi.

Isn't this a beautiful day?

Yeah, nice. Nice.

Say, Ricky, would you mind if I skated

with your beautiful wife?

Mind? Why should I mind?

Go ahead.

Thank you.

May I have the honor?

Thank you. I'd just love to.

Hmph! The nerve of that guy.

Thanks for doing this. Ricky's boiling.

I hope it isn't too boring for you.

On the contrary, I'm enjoying it.

Uh, do you think we could do something a little fancy,

you know, to look good in front of Ricky?

Sure. I'll do a spin with you.

A spin?

Yes. All you have to do is hang on.

I think I can manage that.

All right, now let me take your left hand

and your left ankle...

My left an...

[Lucy] Whoa!

Lucy!

Where have you been?

I guess I... I'd better hang on to you.

Yeah... Yeah, I guess so.

Now, uh ...

Shall we... Shall we skate as partners?

Oh, uh... Oh, yeah.

Yeah. That'd be fine.

Oh, Ricky'll love this.

- Shall we go? - Yeah.

Boy, they're sure skating close together.

Yeah, they sure are skating close together.

Yeah, they're closer than five minutes to 11 :00.

If you ask me, I-I-I think they're skating a little too close together.

And right in front of you too.

Yeah. The nerve of that guy.

He may be nervy, but he's awfully handsome.

Yeah, he sure is handsome, all right.

I'm gonna punch him right in the nose.

Ricky!

Are you really going to punch him in the nose?

Darn tootin' I am.

Oh, but now wait a minute, Rick. Fernando's only putting on an act!

- I told him to so you'd get jealous. - You told him to put on an act?

I told him to put on an act.

Well, I told him to put on an act, too, but he's trying for an Academy Award!

Just a minute.

What's the matter?

I don't like the way you got your arms around my wife.

You're holding her too close.

Well, a woman as beautiful as your wife

cannot be held too close.

All right, let go of her.

I will not!

- Oh, yes, you will. - Oh, no, I won't.

She is coming with me!

She is staying with me!

Oh, no, she's not!

Oh, yes, she is!

I'm not kidding!

I know you're not!

Look, I really mean it!

Sure you do.

¡Estoy diciendo que lo que digo es la verdad!

Oh, dear!

First time in my life two men ever fought over me,

and I can't understand a word they're saying.

¿A tu de la gana a mi?

¿A tu estás ganando un Academy Award?

No! Academy Award nothing! It's to help you!

Espérate un cotton pickin' minute!

¿Qué?

¡Te voy a dar una trampada! Lo que voy a hacer a ti.

- Oh, honey, be careful! - Oh, Lucy!

Where are you?

Fred, go put your coat on.

Nothin' doing.

Aw, now, why can't we go up on Mount Baldy with Lucy and Ricky?

What's so terrible about a ski lift?

I'm not gonna go hurtling through space in that strung-out Ferris wheel.

Oh, for heaven's sake, Fred.

Hi.

Gee, isn't this exciting? My first ski lesson.

Fred, did you decide to come with us?

Nope. Not unless he can hire a dog sled and mush up.

Oh, Fred.

Oh, you go ahead, honey, and have a good time.

We'll stay here. It's only five hours till teatime.

Oh, well, we'll see you later.

- See you later. Bye. - [Fred] Bye.

- [Fernando] May I have my bill? - Oh, honey, there's Fernando.

I think he's checking out. Let's say goodbye to him.

Lucy, the nicest thing we can do to the man

is to leave him alone.

He already thinks we're a bunch of lunatics.

He does not.

You apologized, he accepted. It's all forgotten.

Come on. Come on.

Hi, Fernando.

Oh, h-hello.

Are you leaving us, amigo?

Yes, I'm afraid so.

- Aw, that's too bad. - Yeah.

- I hope there's no hard feelings. - Not at all.

The doctor says the tape is coming off in a couple of days,

and my eye will be all right in about a week.

He says it'll take about ten days for mine.

Uh, we're sure sorry to see you go, Fernando.

Well, I have to go to Europe. I'm doing a picture there, a musical.

Oh! Are you going to sing?

- And dance! - And dance?

Yes, I'm doing a big samba number.

- Oh, for heaven's sake. - Well, we wish you a lot of luck.

- Well, thank you. - Yeah, we certainly do.

You've been a wonderful sport.

You know, thanks to you, Ricky and I are happier than ever.

Well, I'm very, very glad.

Well, Lucy, uh,

meeting you has certainly been, uh, interesting.

Oh...

Well, thank you.

- ¿Hermano, hasta siempre, eh? - Gracias. Igualmente.

Buena suerte.

Oh, I almost forgot.

I called my mother long-distance last night,

and she said to be sure and get your autograph.

- I hope you don't mind. - Of course not.

- Oh, fine, I'll get a pencil. -

- Oh! - Oh!

Oh, I'm sorry!

Ah, nah, nah, no, I don't care. I didn't want to do the samba anyway.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Oh, what about the autograph?

I'll mail it to you.

- [Ricky] Lucy! - [Lucy grunts]

What's this?

It's our new Ford Country Squire. You know that.

I mean the luggage.

We've got plenty of room inside. Why do you have to put it up there for?

How will people know that we've been to Sun Valley

if they don't see the luggage tags?

Besides, it shows how strong the roof is.

Honey, all Ford station wagon roofs are strong.

- Oh. - You see, they got six steel--

You know, the--

Steel cross braces.

- Oh. Six? - Yeah.

- That's a lot, huh? - Oh, yeah.

That's more roof "reinfursement" than any wagon on the market.

More roof "reinfursement"?

You mean, roof reinforcement?

- That's what I said, yeah. - That's what I thought you said.

How come you're such an expert on station wagons?

Well, I just happen to be very proud of our new Ford station wagon.

You're beginning to sound like a commercial.

Well, why not?

After all, Ford makes the lowest price station wagon

on the low price street, right?

Right.

And let me show you something else.

Look.

One hand.

Say, that's clever.

You can't do that with any other low-price wagon, can you?

- No, sir. - And...

What station wagon offers Thunderbird power?

- Ford? - Uh-huh.

And what station wagon gives you that nice, easy, new ride

like your passenger car?

Ford!

That's why they're America's most popular station wagon.

How come you know so much about station wagons?

Oh, I just know, that's all. I'm clever, that's all.

Come clean.

Well ...

- My Ford dealer told me. - Oh.

Well, I just love our new Country Squire.

I knew you would.

And I know that you will love your new Ford wagons too.

So why don't you pick one out at your Ford dealer soon?

- Goodbye, everybody. - Adios.
