with special guest stars Ida Lupino,

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

And now, let's return to today's episode of...

- -

... Hope Springs Eternal.

Will Hope call off her marriage date with mild-mannered Rodney?

Will Rodney cancel his impending departure so that wedding bells may ring?

Or will he let his inability to make a decision

stand in the way of true happiness?

Let's listen.

[Rodney] Hope, darling, don't take it so hard.

[Hope] But, Rodney...

[Rodney] It's not forever, Hope.

[Hope] Must you leave just now,

now that we've found true love?

[Rodney] I...

I must have time to think.

[Hope] Rodney, I want you to know

I'll always be waiting for you.

[Rodney] This isn't goodbye, Hope, my love.

It's just farewell.

Does Rodney really mean farewell?

Will he return?

Tune in tomorrow at the same time for

- Hope Springs Eternal. - I will. I will.

- Bravo! Bravo! - Thank you.

That sounds real good, honey.

- Mommy? - Yes, dear.

Can I take my drum with me to Scout camp?

Oh, I don't know about that, honey.

I could wake up the kids every morning.

But camps usually have a bugler for that.

Oh.

Then I could wake up the bugler.

Please, Mommy.

Well, all right, I guess you can take it.

Where are you and Daddy going for your summer vacation?

Same place we went last year.

But you didn't go anyplace last year.

Well, that's where we're going this year.

Gee, Mommy, that's too bad.

Yeah, well.

Look, honey, you take these upstairs and put them next to your suitcase,

and I'll pack 'em later.

That's a good boy.

- Oh, hi there, partner. - Hi, Daddy.

Are you getting ready to go to Scout camp?

Daddy, can I take Mommy along with me?

Well, I'm afraid not. Mommies don't go to Scout camps.

Oh. Sorry, Mommy.

I wonder if the Cub Scouts have a camp for den mothers.

Well, I got good news for you.

Don't tell me you know of one.

No.

You remember Harry Bailey,

the guy that books all the acts at the club?

Oh, yeah, Harry Bailey. I never cared much for him.

Well, he came over today.

Somehow or other, we started to talk about summer vacations.

He never remembers my name. I bet he's met me a hundred times.

Well, he's a little absent-minded, but he's a nice guy.

I think he's a big bore.

- All he ever says is, "How do you do? - He has this place up--

- Very pleased to meet you." - Will you let me finish?

Every time, he says, "How do you do?"

- Lucy. - What?

Harry has a lodge up in the mountains,

and he's invited us to use it next week.

Well, good old Harry Bailey!

He's a real sweetheart.

Can we really go?

Sure. I'm gonna take the whole week off.

Well, good old Ricky Ricardo!

He's a sweetheart too.

- I thought you'd be happy. - Where is this place?

Mmm, it's in Vermont someplace.

He gave me the name.

Got it right here.

It's called Lake "Wasa-hasa-gata-cockapoo."

Lake Wasa... Wha-- what?--

Let me see that.

That's Lake Wotchasocapoo.

Well, anyway, I got Vermont right.

Gee, if we're going next week, I'd better start getting my things together.

And, you know, the best part about it is that there's plenty of room up there,

so we can ask the Mertzes to go with us.

Oh?

Yeah. He said that the-- the fishing is just great.

He said it's loaded with fish over there. Fred and I can have a ball.

I think I'll go tell him right now.

Wait a minute, honey.

Do we have to ask the Mertzes to go with us?

What do you mean?

Well, just this once, couldn't we go without them?

Why, honey, we haven't taken a vacation without the Mertzes in years.

I know, I know, but I thought just this once it might be fun

and-- and a lot more romantic if we just went away by ourselves.

You know, just the two of us.

Well, you don't look very happy about the idea.

Oh! Oh, I'm-- I'm happy about, you know, being alone and everything like that.

It's just that, uh...

Well, who am I going to go fishing with?

Me. I love fishing.

You hate fishing.

Well, I know,

but if I'm all alone with you, I'll force myself to love it.

Oh, honey, if we don't ask the Mertzes, we're gonna hurt their feelings.

Oh, honey, they'll understand.

All you have do do is tell them why we're not asking them.

Me? Why should I tell them? You're the one that doesn't want them.

Oh, now, honey, it's easy.

All you do is tell them that a friend of yours has asked us

up to his lodge at Lake Wotchasocapoo.

How can I tell them? I can't even pronounce it.

Well, tell them we're going to Vermont.

Look, if it's that simple, you tell them, huh?

You're the man in the family. You wear the pants.

What do you call those things you're wearing?

Pedal pushers.

[Ethel] Lucy, are you home?

Oh, yes, Ethel, dear. We're out in the kitchen, honey.

- - Now you tell them.

- I can't do it. - You're much better at this--

I am not gonna tell any-- Hello! How are you? Nice to see you.

- Hi. - Well, hi.

Uh, we were just talking about you.

- Yeah. - You were?

- What about? - Uh...

Uh... Well, uh, we were just saying that, um...

What were we saying about them, dear?

About who?

The Mertzes.

The Mertzes?

Ethel and Fred.

Oh!

Oh, the Mertzes. Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, we, uh...

Oh, just saying, uh, what great friends we are.

Yeah.

And, uh, how we've never been apart and, um ...

How does the rest of it go, dear?

And the rest of it?

Don't you remember?

Me? You're the one with the memory.

I get the feeling they're trying to tell us something.

That's funny. I get the feeling they're trying not to.

Look, uh,

we're going to a lodge in the mountains next week.

Uh, uh, yeah.

Uh, I-I was invited by a friend of mine.

Harry Bailey.

Oh, that's wonderful.

We're going to Atlantic City.

- Great. - Swell!

Yeah, I was invited by an enemy of mine.

- Who? - Ethel Mertz.

The hotel is costing us 50 smackers, in advance yet.

That's a lot of money, 50 bucks a day.

That's 50 bucks a week.

Oh.

Well, so you're going to Atlantic City, huh?

Well, what a shame.

We were just going to ask you to go to the mountains with us.

Aw, thanks, anyway, honey, but we kinda got our hearts set on the seashore.

Oh, what a crime.

It's a beautiful lodge, and Ricky says that the fishing is great.

- Good fishing, huh? - Yeah.

Hey, why don't we go to the mountains with them?

We can go to the seashore next year.

[Ethel] That's a great idea.

[Fred] I'll write the hotel and get my money back.

Oh, Fred, remember what the man said-- no refunds.

Like I was saying, this is the year for the seashore.

Ah, it's too bad we can't spend our vacations together.

Yeah, it sure is.

Gee, Ethel, I've never been so disappointed in my whole life.

[Ethel] We'll see you later.

Ah, you got lucky again. Everything worked out all right.

Some friends those Mertzes turned out to be.

Huh?

All this time planning their vacation.

They weren't even going to ask us to go with them.

Ay-ay-ay.

Honey, where are you?

Right here, putting the groceries away.

Oh.

What are you doing in your pajamas?

What else am I going to wear if I'm going to go to sleep?

Sleep? At this hour?

It's only 8:30.

Well, I know that, but we got to get some rest

if we're gonna get up at 5:00 in the morning to go fishing.

Good night.

- Honey? - Hmm?

I thought maybe we could take a moonlight stroll along the lake.

Maybe tomorrow night. I'm pretty pooped.

Pretty pooped?

Whatever happened to that hot-blooded Latin I married?

Latins can have tired blood too.

Ricky Ricardo, you come here.

- - Just come over here.

Look at that beautiful moon.

Look at the way it shines on the lake. Doesn't that mean anything to you?

- Yep. - What?

It means it's gonna be nice and clear tomorrow for fishing.

Oh, honestly.

- You should have married a fish. - Oh, now, honey.

If it's going to be like this, we might as well go right back home.

Now, look, dear,

I would love to take a moonlight stroll with you

if I wasn't all dressed up for bed.

Well, I'll fix that.

You just put this on and you won't have any excuse why you can't take...

- What are you doing? - ...a little moonlight stroll with me.

What's my guitar doing here?

Oh, uh, I just thought maybe sometime when we were out on the lake together,

- you could serenade me. - Oh, no.

Why not?

That'd scare the fish away.

Oh, honestly.

Well, just a minute, will you? I don't want to get a "shill."

Oh, it would be too bad if you got a "shill."

Come on, houseplant.

Sweetie, how did you get in?

Always check for unlocked windows--

A little trick I learned when I used to play Sam Spade.

Good old absent-minded Harry Bailey.

He was going to leave the key on the ledge above the door.

Yeah, good thing for us he is absent-minded.

Otherwise, he would have locked the window.

Harry isn't the only absent-minded one.

If you'd remembered to fill the gas tank,

we wouldn't have had to walk these last two miles.

Okay, okay, so I forgot.

- Hey, it's a crazy lodge, isn't it? - Yeah.

Boy, am I glad to get here. I'm exhausted.

You're exhausted?

You made me carry the luggage.

So what? You made me carry you.

Oh, sweetheart,

I'm so glad this personal appearance tour is over.

Yeah, I know, honey, it's been a grind,

but we both agreed it's important to keep contact with the public.

I didn't realize we'd lose contact with each other.

Do you know we haven't spent one minute alone since we left California?

Yeah, I know, honey, but thanks to good old Harry Bailey,

- we're gonna be alone for a whole week! - Yeah.

- Uh, sweetheart. - Mm-hmm.

Uh, do you have to keep these things on forever?

It's night!

Well, you're not gonna have to hide behind these things up here.

I'm the only one around and I already have your autograph.

- Come on, let's get organized. - Oh, isn't it exciting?

Just think, the two of us alone together for a whole week in this romantic place.

No people, no press, no photographers.

It's going to be divine.

Howard, look.

- Huh? - A swimming pool.

And it's bigger than ours.

- Honey. - Hmm?

That's a lake.

It must cost a fortune to keep it heated.

Hey, look! Old Harry even left us some food.

- How about that? - Good old Harry.

Now we won't have to hike into the village for breakfast in the morning.

- Well, come on, let's unpack. - Yes.

Uh...

Oh, oh, Howie, we'll take that bedroom over there.

Uh-uh. This one here.

Why?

Because it's closer, and I'm beat.

Come on. Let's turn in.

But, Howie, it's so early.

And this place has such a romantic atmosphere.

So?

Uh, well...

I thought maybe we'd build a fire

and kind of snuggle in front of it.

Oh, honey, I didn't come up here to work.

Since when is snuggling with me work?

Oh, well, honey, of course it isn't,

but, uh, building a fire is.

Besides, I've got to get up at dawn and go fishing, you see.

Oh.

Mmm.

All right.

If you're going fishing in the morning, I'm going with you.

Are you kidding?

You never got up before noon in your life unless you got paid for it.

Sweetheart...

to be alone on a lake with you, I'd get up at dawn for free.

Okay. All right, honey.

We'll get up, at, uh, 5:00.

5:00?

Why so early?

Because that's what time dawn is.

Oh.

You see, Ida, honey, the fish bite best at dawn.

It's when they eat their breakfast.

Can't we catch the ones that eat brunch?

Oh, gee, honey, can't we stay out a little longer?

The moon is so beautiful.

We've been out there for an hour and a half.

How much moon can you take?

I could watch it forever.

Well, maybe we should have spent our vacation at Cape Canaveral.

Oh...

Come on, I got to get some sleep.

Well, come on, honey.

- Up you go. - Huh?

- Come on, up you go. - Huh? What?

- Come on, you gotta get up, honey. -

If you're going to go fishing with me, you gotta get up.

- Fishing? - Yeah.

What time is it?

5:00.

5:00?

Go wake up the fish.

Now come on. Come on.

You said you wanted to go fishing with me, so you got to get up.

Now, I left a cup of coffee and a doughnut for you

- on the breakfast counter. - Where?

On the breakfast counter.

Oh, thank you.

Where are the car keys?

- Huh? - The car keys, where are they?

The car keys, honey. Where are they?

Come on.

Now, listen, don't go back to bed now.

I think I left my sunglasses in the car, so I'm going to look for them.

All right, you get up.

Up, up, up, up, up!

Come on now, get dressed.

Let's go.

Come on, honey, get up. It's 5:00.

How nice.

The cocktail hour.

No, no, no, honey, honey, it's 5:00 in the morning.

Honey, I thought you were going fishing with me.

- Come on. - Go away!

Or I'll report you to the Screen Actors Guild.

Come on. Up, up, up, up.

Yep, yep, yep, yep.

Honey, come on, come on, get up and make me some breakfast, huh?

Oh, I made breakfast hours ago.

I made breakfast, vacuumed the rugs, dusted the woodwork...

Thanks a lot.

Honey?

Sometimes you amaze me.

Huh?

You're wonderful.

Thank you.

Well, I'm going to get dressed now. Come on, up and at 'em!

Yeah. Up and at 'em.

No puedo encontrar los espejuelos en ningún lugar.

What's the matter?

Los espejuelos, my sunglasses. I can't find them anyplace.

Honestly, do you realize you've spent half of our married life

looking for your sunglasses?

Yes, and you spend the other half telling me about it.

Come on. I'll help you look.

I could have sworn I left them in the car.

Oh!

Mmm.

You're sweet.

You're sweet too.

Oh, look at that sunrise. Beautiful, huh?

Well, it looks just like a sunset except it goes up instead of down.

Come on, honey, get dressed.

I'm going down to the lake and take a look at Harry's boat.

Come on, get a move on. It's-- it's getting late.

Late? How can it get late so early?

Los espejuelos no los puedo encontrar en ningún lugar.

Tienen que estar en un lugar...

Here are your espejuelos. They were on the counter.

I don't remember leaving them there.

You're getting more absent-minded than Harry Bailey.

Hey, these are not mine. Mine are prescriptions.

Whose are those?

Harry's, I guess. I guess he forgot 'em.

Say, I'll bet you dropped your glasses

in that box of groceries you brought in last night.

I'll look.

I'll-- I'll keep looking through my clothes.

[Ricky] Ay-ay-ay.

I can't find those darn--

Look what I found.

Oh! Yeah, these are mine.

Thank you.

Boy, this mountain air does wonders for your appetite.

Mm-hmm.

I'll go to the car, get the tackle box. Huh?

- All right, I'll get my jacket. - Hurry up.

- [Ricky] Well, we got to go. - [Howard] Let's go fishing.

Who are you?

Ida Lupino and Howard Duff!

Yeah, we know who we are.

Who are you?

Well, I'm, uh...

I'm... I'm his wife.

Oh.

Who are you?

I'm Ricky Ricardo.

Oh! Oh, Ricky Ricardo!

Honey, honey, this is Ricky Ricardo.

Oh!

- Who's he? - The bandleader.

Oh, that Ricky Ricardo.

Yes. How do you do?

Oh, how do you do?

How do you do?

How do you do?

What are you doing he--

Uh, Harry Bailey, the owner of this lodge,

he said that we could use it for the week.

Oh, I see. Well, uh. Harry is our agent,

and he said that we could use the lodge for this week.

Good old absent-minded Harry. He's done it again.

Well, isn't this just peachy?

Howdy.

Don't tell me Harry Bailey invited you here too.

No. I own the general store in the village.

I just got a phone call from Mr. Bailey.

He says to tell the folks who are staying here

that he forgot to say there's another couple coming up.

And he hopes you won't mind.

Okay, I told you.

Thanks. We got the message.

Say, don't I recognize you?

I suppose you do, darling.

Not you, lady. Him.

Ain't you Ricky Ricardo?

Yeah.

Me and the missus to New York once,

and we stopped at your nightclub on one of them $2 tours.

Oh.

I sure like the way you sing "Baby-Lou."

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

I could have listened to you all night, but the bus was leaving for Chinatown.

- Oh. - So long.

So long.

Gosh, wait till I tell the missus about this.

Don't they go to movies on those tours?

Uh...

Uh...

Well, I ...

I guess, uh,

one of us is gonna have to leave.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh, one of us.

Yeah.

Well, I, uh, guess there's only one thing to do,

- and that's, uh, toss for it. - Okay.

- Call it, Ricky. - Heads.

- Oh, I don't think that's a very-- - Heads. Uh, you win.

What were you saying, Mrs. Ricardo?

Me? Nothing.

Well, it's too bad, honey. They won fair and square.

Yeah. I sure feel terrible about this.

Do you feel terrible enough to toss again?

No.

Oh.

Let's pack.

- Yeah. - Wait a minute. Uh...

Gee, we, uh, we don't want to rush you.

Well, if you don't mind, I would kind of like to get in at least one day's fishing.

- Oh, so you two like to fish? - Oh, I love it. She can't stand it.

Neither can Lucy.

Listen, that--that gives me an idea.

Yeah?

This place is big enough for all of us.

Why don't the four of us stay here? You and I can go fishing.

[Howard] Well, that sounds like a wonderful idea.

- Ricky. Ricky. Ricky! - Yes, dar-- Yes?

Can I speak to you for a moment, please?

- Will you excuse me? - Oh, sure.

What's the matter with you? What'd you go and do that for?

We won the toss.

Well, I-I know, honey, but-- but you know how you hate fishing.

And, besides, I thought you'd love spending

a whole week with two big movie stars.

Well, ordinarily I would,

but this week, I was looking forward to being all alone with you.

What-- what's so special about being all alone?

Are you sure you're a full hot-blooded Latin?

Now, look, honey, it just doesn't seem nice to ask Howard and Ida to leave.

Well, Howard, you ready to go fishing?

Oh, you bet! I've got all my stuff down at the boat.

Well, come on. We're gonna have a great week together.

- Have a good time, girls. - Have a good time.

And for this, I got up at dawn.

I'm sorry if I seemed selfish. I mean, about not wanting you around.

It's just that I was hoping to be alone with my husband.

Oh, I understand, darling.

I was hoping to be alone too.

Well, we're alone all right.

Yep.

Oh, boy. Some vacation.

I bet we've cleaned a million of these in the last two days.

Would have had a better time at the Fulton Fish Market.

Well, anyway, wait till my friends find out

that I spent my vacation cleaning fish with a big movie star.

Yeah.

You'll be the envy of all the alley cats in the neighborhood.

You know, I wouldn't mind the boys fishing all day

if they just didn't spend the evening playing gin rummy.

I wouldn't mind the gin rummy in the evening

if they didn't dash to bed at 9:00

so they won't be too tired to go fishing in the morning.

You know, Ida,

I think it's about time we did something about this.

Please.

You're so right.

What'll we do?

We ought to be able to think of something.

After all, darling, let's not forget,

we still have our womanly wiles.

You're right.

It's been so long since I used 'em, I forgot I had 'em.

Well, let's see. Uh...

I've got it!

Boy, you're fast.

Thank you.

- Now, listen, this is what we'll do. - What?

This evening, when the boys are playing gin, you and I enter

wearing our most glamorous dresses and drenched in exotic perfume.

- Then what? - Then when they see us,

they'll forget all about playing gin because they won't be able to resist us.

- They won't? - Of course not.

And we'll keep them up so late,

they won't even want to go fishing in the morning.

Ida, you may look like a movie star, but you think like a wife.

Gin!

Hey, how about doubling the stakes? Give me a chance to get even?

You're the doctor.

- Honey. - Hmm?

- Smell anything? - Yep.

Well?

Sweetheart, I've been on the boat all day long.

I can't help smelling fishy.

Howie, baby.

[Howard] Hmm?

I thought this evening we'd take a moonlight boat ride.

Sounds like a good idea.

You really think so?

Yeah. You two go right ahead.

I hope one of you knows how to row.

No, no, no. Listen, sweetheart.

I meant you and I.

Ooh, it's such a lovely evening.

Honey, I've been out on a boat all day today.

I'm going to be on it all day tomorrow,

so what do I want to go out on a boat tonight for?

Ricky, darling,

I thought perhaps we-- you and I, not Ida and me--

Could take a moonlight stroll along the lake.

Again? We did that the first night we were here.

Pardon me.

We've had our moonlight stroll for the season.

Uh, listen, sweetheart,

we haven't taken a moonlight stroll.

What do you call that two-mile hike we took when we ran out of gas?

Ricky, darling,

perhaps we could go out and sit on the porch and you could sere...

- Gin! - ...nade me!

Serenade me.

Where's that eight of hearts?

Right on the bottom.

- Wouldn't you know? -

- Oh, boy. - Well, I think I blitzed you.

You sure did.

Uh, uh, does that mean the game's ended?

That's right.

Oh, wait a minute, Ricky. You can't quit now.

You're way ahead of me.

Okay. We'll play some more.

Guess we can play another.

Honey, I'm awfully thirsty.

Would you get us a couple of glasses of beer, please?

What are you doing?

I'm whispering sweet nothings in your cute little ear.

Yeah, well, cut it out, will you?

Ricky will think you're telling me something about his hand.

Honey, you'd better close the window. You're catching a cold.

Thank you, honey.

Ida, while you're up, get us some potato chips, will you?

Yes, of course.

What are you doing?

I just want to sit on your lap.

We're playing gin.

Well, go right ahead. Just pretend I'm not here.

Well, honey, I-I-I can't-- I can't see the cards or anything.

Well, don't you like me sitting on your lap?

Sure, dear, sure.

You want some beer?

- No. - Oh.

Who-- Whose turn is it to discard?

It's yours.

I thought so.

Honey...

- Honey, what are you doing? -

Honey, we haven't finished the game yet, dear.

- [Lucy continues chuckling] - Well, all Howard needs is a ten to gin.

Oh, and Ricky has two of them!

Deal them again.

Oh, not again.

It's 9:30.

- 9:30? - Yes.

Oh, brother, it's time for us to go to bed.

You know it!

- Good night, dear. - Good night, sweetheart.

Shall we?

Why not?

What'll we play?

What else? Old Maid.

Well, I'll say one thing--

Either we're getting used to the smell or the boys are catching sweeter fish.

And Ricky said this was going to be like a second honeymoon.

So did Howard.

If there was only some way we could keep 'em

from going fishing every day.

How are you going to do that? Drain the lake?

- Hey. - Oh, come on.

No. No, no, no, I saw some tools out in the garage.

Yes?

We could drill holes in their boat.

When they go out tomorrow morning to get in,

it'll be three feet under water.

Brilliant idea.

Thank you.

It's brilliant,

but it may be a little too nasty.

Yeah. I guess it is too nasty.

Well.

It is not too nasty.

You know, Howard,

I think we should pay a little more attention to the girls.

I had a feeling they were kind of hinting at it last night.

You may be right, Rick.

Ida hasn't bitten my ear since our honeymoon.

I tell you what.

Why don't we row them over to the island tonight for a picnic supper?

- It'll be a beautiful moonlight night. - Great idea.

We'll go into town and get some food so the girls won't have to cook.

Good.

You know, I may even break down and shave. This thing is getting pretty itchy.

Yeah, mine too.

I don't know how those Cubans can stand it.

Say, let's surprise them.

We won't tell them until we come back from town.

How are we gonna keep the girls from going into town with us and finding out?

Don't you worry about a thing.

This ought to take care of it.

- Did you drill the holes yet? - Oh, yeah.

Yeah, two in front and two in back.

It's beginning to look like a piece of Swiss cheese.

- I was afraid of that. - What do you mean?

The boys just got back from the village with a basket full of food, champagne.

They're taking us on a picnic supper over to the island.

The island? How do they expect to get us over there?

On the SS Swiss Cheese.

Oh!

Ah, I suppose we'll just have to move the picnic to the lodge.

Oh, no. No, I don't want to miss this opportunity with Ricky.

The moonlight and that romantic island.

How do you expect to get over there? Have Alec Guinness build us a bridge?

Oh...

- Look... - What?

...you go stall the boys.

I'll figure out some way to plug up these holes.

Good luck.

I never saw it with that moonlight, you know?

[Ricky] This is really gorgeous with the moonlight.

- Isn't that where we fished over there? - [Lucy mouthing words]

Chewing gum?

Want some chewing gum? I got plenty of chewing gum.

- No. - No.

You sure you don't want some?

- You want some? - No.

Yes, sir, you know, we should do this every night.

- It's really beautiful. - That's for sure.

- Where you going, dear? - I'm starved.

This sea air gives me an appetite. I'm gonna get a sandwich.

Oh, you darling boys.

I'm just crazy about this picnic idea.

[Ricky] Oh! Thank you.

Yeah. We decided you girls deserved it.

We ought to do it more often.

Where's your sandwich, dear?

I already ate it and washed my face.

Oh.

[Ricky] Hey, isn't that the place over there where you caught that big one?

- [Howard] Yeah, I think so. - Come on, boys, let's get going.

[Ricky] What's the rush? Let's stay here.

- [Howard] Yeah. - Stay here? How long?

Oh, just for a little while.

It's so pretty, you know. The moon is so beautiful.

I'm so tired of rowing all day long, aren't you?

- Yeah. - Come on, let's change seats

and just stay here for a while.

- [Howard] Yeah. Ida, honey... - [Ricky] Come on.

All right.

[Howard] Come up here and sit next to Daddy, huh?

- Sure. - [Howard] Come on, dear. Come on.

- [Ricky] I'll help you. - Oh, thanks, thanks, Ricky.

- Oops, steady. - Here we are.

Don't tip the boat. You don't want to get wet.

- Isn't this fun, huh? - [Ricky grunts]

Hey, uh, uh, Ricky, how about a little serenade, huh?

Well, all right.

What would you like to hear?

Something short.

And sweet.

All right.

What are you doing, honey?

Kiss me.

Okay, honey. Sure.

- Honey, throw that thing away. -

The gum.

All right. Ida, would you throw my gum away, please?

Why can't you throw it away?

Well, Ida's a much better gum thrower than I am.

Oh, yeah, she's right.

Listen, I'm the greatest little gum thrower in the whole world.

Oh.

Uh, we're drifting, Ricky.

Uh, help me with the anchor, will you? Excuse me, Lucy.

- [Ricky] Okay. - [Howard] Take this spot.

[Ricky] You know what we should have done?

We should have brought our tackle and see if we caught any fish tonight.

[Ricky] I bet you the fishing is real good at night here.

There, we got it.

[Howard] We need flashlights or something.

- [Ricky] Yeah. - [Howard] Tie it down.

[Ricky] All right, got it tight?

[Howard] Yeah. Yeah, me and knots are good.

- Okay. And-- - Okay.

Excuse me.

[Ricky] Excuse me, dear.

Be careful now!

Careful. That's it.

Honey, what's the matter?

Oh, I just want you to come closer.

Come here. Come on.

Oh, sure. Sure.

Easy now. Easy.

Oh, hey...

[Howard] Honey!

My heavens.

Honey, what are you doing?

Oh. Honey, you close your eyes for a minute.

- Close your little eyes. - [Ricky] All right.

- What are you doing down there? -

When you serenade me, I just like to have my head in your lap.

Oh, isn't that nice?

♪ Ese lunar que tienes, cielito lindo ♪

♪ Junto a la boca ♪

♪ No se lo des a nadie, cielito lindo ♪

♪ Que a mi me toca ♪

- ♪ Ay-ay-ay-ay.... ♪ - [Lucy wailing]

- What's the matter? - It's your singing.

It sends romantic shivers up and down my spine.

Oh.

Everybody!

♪ Ay-ay-ay-ay! ♪

♪ Canta y no llores ♪

♪ Porque cantando Se alegran, cielito lindo ♪

♪ Los corazónes ♪

- Hey, my girl. -

I think I got some gum on my foot.

[Ricky] Gum?

How you do that?

What are you doing down there?

Oh... oh, I just want to look in those beautiful, blue eyes of yours.

- - Isn't she cute?

Yeah.

Come here.

Hey!

We have sprung a lick!

- Hey, for heaven's sake! - Look out!

Yeah, we sure have sprung a "lick."

Hurry, honey! Hurry!

[Ida] Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, do something!

[Ricky] Honey, look out!

- - Bail! Bail, Ricky, bail!

Bail! Bail!

Bail! Get rid of it!

- Bail! - Oh! Oh!

Bail fast!

- Faster! - It's gaining on us!

- You two-- - Faster, faster!

I think we're losing a fighting battle!

Ah!

I don't think we're gonna...

- Oh, my... - I don't think we're gonna make it!

Don't row with my guitar!

- What's the matter with you? - Ah!

- [Ida] Howard, save me! - [Howard] I'm here, honey.

Hang on to me, sweetheart.

Lucy, you got my guitar all wet.

Lucy, forget the sandwiches!

Achoo!

Gesundheit.

¡Que Dios te bendiga!

Thank you.

Oh, sweetie.

Gee, it's too bad you have to leave before the week is out, Ida.

Darlings, we hate to leave, but we should get back

- so Howard can take care of that cold. - [Ricky, Lucy] Yeah.

Well, I sure had a lot of fun fishing with you.

I had a grand time, Ricky.

Be sure and send me my half of the bill to get Harry's boat fixed.

All right, but I still think I should pay for it.

After all, it was my wife's bright idea to drill the holes.

Now, don't give her all the credit. We collaborated.

Oh, yeah.

Now, well, don't brag about it.

Ricky, I do feel terrible about your guitar.

Oh, don't worry about that. It'll be all right.

Soon as I get home, I'll iron it out.

- Well, we should be going. - Oh, right.

- Goodbye, Ricky, darling. - Thanks again.

Not so close.

Oh, I had a wonderful time.

I sure loved seeing you.

If you're ever out in California, be sure and look us up.

- Thank you. Thank you very much. - We will. You know that.

If you give us a little notice, we'll fill the swimming pool with trout.

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye!

Bye!

Gee, they sure are nice people.

Yeah, they sure are, honey.

But I'm still glad they left.

At last we're alone.

And we're going to spend every minute of it together.

- Really, Ricky? - You bet you, just the two of us.

Surprise!

Surprise! Surprise!

Well, what?-- what are you doing here?

Well, you said you wished we could join you,

and we got to thinking how selfish we were down in Atlantic City

and you two so lonesome up here without us, so here we are.

Oh.

How's the fishing, Rick?

- Oh, it's just great. - No kidding?

All you gotta do is just drop the line in the water.

- Any big ones? - Tremendous.

What are we waiting for?

Come on. I'll take you down there and show you where the lake...

I'm telling you, we had a little trouble with the boat,

- so let's try it from the shore. - [Fred] Oh, great.

[Ricky] You've never seen so much trout in your whole life, man.

Well, that's the last we'll see of our husbands until we go home.

Yeah?

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

And a very special thanks to Ida Lupino and Howard Duff

for their wonderful performances tonight.

And now I would like to tell you of our next week Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse--

Come on, Ethel. Come on.

Fred, what are you doing? I'm trying to tell the folks about next week's show.

[Ethel] Come on, give me a hand, will you?

What's going on here anyway?

Well, Ethel's been after me for a long time

to get rid of this old clinkerer

and now that I've heard about the wonderful trade-ins

going on right now,

I agreed to bring this thing down to the store

and see what we could get on it.

Then why aren't you helping her?

You know Ethel, don't you?

What has been in here, is now in there.

So I thought I'd give her a chance to work it off.

Oh, you.

Come on, Ethel, I'll help you.

Well, now, there's a gentlemen.

If I don't do it, I'll never get a chance to tell the people about next week's show.

- Don't go away, folks. -

Take it easy, don't scratch this thing, it's worth money.

Yeah, all right, Fred. All right.

- Hi. - Oh, hi.

Excuse me, I gotta rush back.

- Thanks, pal. - Yeah.

What you got there?

Well, I heard you were giving big trade-in allowances.

Oh! Well, you don't have to bring the old appliances in.

We'll pick them up.

- Oh, fine. - But you're right.

We are having a big summer trade-in sale,

with fantastic allowances on old appliances.

It's all part of Westinghouse Opportunity Days.

How much for this?

Well ...

Oh, well, I can tell by this tiny, old-fashioned freezer,

that this refrigerator is probably about ten years old.

And it cost plenty too.

Well, today, this big two-door, 13 cubic foot Westinghouse,

with the famous cold-injector refrigerating system,

and frost-free automatic defrosting,

plus this huge separate home freezer,

not only costs less than that old one did ten years ago,

but we will give you ...

- ...for your old refrigerator. - You got a deal!

And right now, there are liberal trade-ins too

on new Westinghouse ranges...

Hey! Look at the size of that oven.

...and the new Westinghouse roll-about dishwasher

with the hot water boosting.

Oh, Fred, I want one.

And now, just wait till you see--

Guess who else had a trade-in?

- Bring it here. - Yes.

- Over here! - Okay.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Hi. - Excuse me, I gotta go rest.

And you're right on time.

I was about to tell Fred and Ethel about the wonderful buys

on new Westinghouse laundromats.

Yeah, they're great, Lucy.

That they are.

Right now, for up to $50 less than you paid for that ten years ago,

you can get this beautiful new Westinghouse Program Computer Laundromat.

What's a Program Computer, Betty?

Well, it's like, um, a built-in brain

that automatically sets the correct wash and rinse temperature,

the number of rinses and spins, for the fabric you're washing.

Gee, that's wonderful.

And there's a separate program for

regular fabrics, delicate fabrics, wash-and-wear,

even a new cold-water wash for sweaters and such.

And I heard you were giving big trade-in allowances too.

Sure.

For that old washer.

- Yeah? - [Betty] Mm-hmm.

Why is she whispering about the trade-ins?

Well, if everybody knew how big they are, the stores would be swamped.

Gee, Betty, with these terrific buys and trade-ins,

I don't see why anybody hangs onto their old appliances.

[Betty] I don't either.

I think every gal should get her husband down

to their dealers doing Westinghouse Opportunity Days.

And say, speaking of husbands,

Look, Mommy.

Now who's gonna tell the people about next week's show?

Don't worry, honey, I'll figure something out.

You can be sure.

Like the lady said, "You can be sure if it's Westinghouse."

[Lucy] There we go.

See, I told you we'd think of something. Come on, honey, get up.

Huh?

It's time for you to tell the folks about next week's show.

- Oh. - We're taking this home.

Oh.

Ladies and gentlemen,

now, next week, our star will be Miss Jane Russell,

with Steve Forrest, Jack Haley,

Mischa Auer and Karen Sharpe in Ballad for a Bad Man.

It's a dramatic story of the Old West,

and it centers about this musical troupe, headed by Miss Russell,

I hope that you'll all be with us next week.

When we present Ballad for a Bad Man, starring Miss Jane Russell.
