Good morning, Lucy.

Oh, hi, Ethel.

Where are you going so early?

Oh, I thought I'd go down and see the doctor.

What's the matter, honey, are you sick?

No, I just want to get a checkup.

I need a tonic or something.

I need a tonic or something.

I've been feeling real donsey.

Donsey?

Yeah. That's a word my grandmother made up

for when you're not really sick, but you just feel lousy.

Oh.

Oh, I-I don't know what's the matter with me.

I've been getting a lot of rest, and then

I wake up feeling all dragged out in the morning.

I don't have much energy,

and yet I've been putting on a lot of weight.

I just feel blah.

Well, maybe you need some vitamin pills

or a liver shot or something.

Yeah. Listen, don't tell Ricky that I went to see the doctor.

No sense worrying him.

Okay.

Gee, I-I'm going to have to go on a diet.

You know, I could hardly get into my dress this morning.

Hey, Lucy...

Hmm?

Wait a minute.

You don't suppose...?

I don't suppose what?

You don't suppose you're going to have a baby?

Oh, of course not.

For heaven's sake.

A baby?!

Yeah. Baby.

That's a word my grandmother made up

for tiny little people.

That's the silliest thing I ever heard of.

I've been married 11 years, Ethel.

I know it.

Now, get that look off your face.

You were a lot closer

when you said I needed liver shots.

Well, we'll wait and see what the doctor says.

Oh, I got to go.

I'll see you later.

Good-bye, mummy.

I'm going to wait right here until you come back.

Go on.

Now, cut that out.

Let's have no more kidding about me having a baby.

The whole thought is utterly ridiculous.

Lucy?

What did the doctor say?

Lucy?

Oh, hi, Ethel.

Hi, Lucy.

What did the doctor say?

Ethel... we're going to have a baby.

We are?!

Oh...

oh, isn't that wonderful?

I... I never had a baby before.

I mean, I've never been let in on it so soon.

Let in on it?

Why, you knew it even before I did.

This whole thing was practically your idea.

Aw!

Gee...

just think, Ethel.

I'm going to be a mother.

And I'm going to be a...

I am going to be something, aren't I?

Oh, sure, sure.

Y-You and Fred will be the godparents.

Oh, isn't that exciting?

Did the doctor say what it's going to be?

It's going to be a baby.

No. I mean, I wonder

if it's going to be a boy or a girl.

Oh, I can't wait to find out

whether I'm going to be a godmother or a godfather.

Wait till I tell Fred.

He's going to be so excited!

Oh, Ethel, Ethel, don't tell Fred.

Why not?

Because I haven't told Ricky yet,

and he'd feel awful if Fred knew before he did.

Why haven't you told Ricky?

Well... because I-I want to tell him

in a very special way.

All my life, I've dreamed

about how I was going to tell my husband

when we were going to have a baby.

I've known exactly what I was going to say to him.

I've dreamed about it a million times.

Aw...

Now it's going to come true.

See, h-he'll be sitting right here, see?

And then... and then I-I'll come over,

and I'll... I'll sit on his lap.

And I'll put my arms around his neck,

and I'll say

Ricky... darling...

our dream has come true.

You and I are going to be blessed with something

that means more to us

than anything in the whole world.

Oh, I shouldn't be here at a time like this.

What?

Uh... I mean,

I'll come back after you've told Ricky.

Oh, he ought to be home for lunch any minute.

He's going to be so thrilled!

Oh, Lucy! Oh!

Hi, honey.

Oh, hello, Ricky.

Uh, I thought you'd never get here.

What are you talking about?

I'm ten minutes early.

Oh, yeah.

H-How's everything, darling?

Everything's terrible.

Oh, good.

Good?

I said everything was terrible.

Huh? Oh, terrible.

Yeah, terrible.

I don't think I'll ever put on

another nightclub show as long as I live.

The lights are all wrong.

The costumes are all wrong.

Nobody knows their number.

Nothing good happened today.

Well, it will, dear.

You come over here and sit down.

See? I fixed lunch in here.

It's cozier and comfyer.

Oh, gee, honey, that looks wonderful.

Yeah, well, just relax, dear.

I'm all right, honey.

I'm just hungry.

Sit back, dear. Sit back.

Yes, dear.

Ricky...

Ricky, darling...

What is it, honey?

Give me that.

Now, swallow.

There.

Ricky, do you have to eat now?

Well, honey, it's lunchtime.

You fixed me a beautiful lunch.

Well, stop for a minute.

Now, swallow that.

My stomach is going to think I lost my teeth.

All right, honey.

Now, what is it?

Ricky... darling...

Honey, the phone is ringing.

I know it.

Well, honey, one of us has to get up

and answer it.

No!

Lucy...

- Let it ring. - Oh, honey, come on.

It might be important, honey.

Oh...

Come on, sweetheart.

Hello?

Oh, hello, Marco.

What?!

What do you mean, they can't have the costumes there

till tonight?

Now, look, you tell that guy

that he has to have those costumes there

by 2:00 this afternoon or I'm going to sue him.

That's what I said-- I'm going to sue him.

And-and look,

will you have the orchestra there

on time for a change?

I don't care how you do it.

Just get 'em there, eh?

Thanks. Good-bye.

Oh, what a business.

Sometimes I think I'll go back to Cuba

and work in a sugar plantation.

Just the two of us.

Just the two of us?

Yeah.

I don't mind to get you all involved

in my affairs, honey,

but you should be happy you're a woman.

Oh, I am, I am.

Oh, you-you think that you know how tough my job is,

but believe me, if you traded places with me,

you'd be surprised.

Believe me, if I traded places with you, you'd be surprised.

Uh, honey, what is this all about, huh?

What's the matter?

Nothing, dear.

I just love you, that's all.

Uh-oh.

How much are you overdrawn?

I am not overdrawn.

I want to tell you something.

Lucy, what did you buy?

Nothing!

Ricky... darling...

Oh, I'll get it.

Who was that?

Nobody.

Now, how can nobody ring the doorbell?

Well, I think it was probably...

Nobody's necktie is caught in the door.

I'll get it.

Nah, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.

I'll get it.

Whose father got...

It's Ricky. Hi, Ricky.

Hi, Rick.

Now, what's going on here?

Why'd you slam the door in their face?

- Well, I... - [Ethel] Oh, that's all right.

I-I don't think you should be disturbed

while you're eating your lunch.

- No, Ricky, go ahead and have your lunch. -We can come back.

- We can come back later. - Oh, come on, will you?!

Come in. Why everybody acting so silly?

Now, come on and sit down.

I want to talk to you. Come on.

Come on, will you?

Sit down, Fred.

All right.

Fred, I want to tell you something.

You don't know how smart you are

that you got out of show business.

Oh?

You should have been at the club today.

Everything went wrong.

First of all, you know that costume shop...

...and not only that,

but the guy in the spotlight

has the nerve to tell me

that I told him not to light me during my number

but to go around looking for interesting faces

in the audience.

Oh, no.

Yeah, well, do you folks really have to go?

- Oh, yes, we really do. - Yeah, I guess.

We'll see you later, Ricky.

Come on, Fred.

Yeah, okay.

Good-bye.

Hey, Fred, how about the fights?

Everything's all right.

I've taken care of it, Rick.

I told...

Honey, he was still talking.

Honey...

Honey, I-I want to talk to you.

Lucy, what do you sit on when I'm not home?

Ricky... darling...

Darn that thing!

Lucy, you're sure acting strange.

What's the matter, honey?

Come on, let me answer the phone.

- Maybe it's important. - Oh...

Hello?

Yeah, yeah.

What?!

What do you mean?

Of course the club has

an automatic dishwashing machine.

We just put it in.

What?!

I got to pay for standby dishwashers?

Aw, now, wait a minute.

No-no-no, d-don't do anything, would you?

I'll be right down.

Just hold everything. I'll be right down.

Good-bye.

But Ricky, can't you stay a few more minutes?

Honey, I'm sorry, honey,

but this is union trouble I got to take care of.

Standby dishwashers they want, yet.

Thanks for the lunch, honey.

Yeah, but, Ricky, Ricky,

I want to talk to you about something.

Well, look, sweetheart, whatever it is,

use your own judgment.

Now, if... if you think it's a good idea,

go ahead with it.

I just saw Ricky leaving.

That didn't take long. What did he say?

Nothing. I haven't told him yet.

You haven't? Why not?

Because I kept being interrupted

by telephones, sandwiches, and...

certain busybodies.

Well, thanks.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.

Oh, that's all right.

You're bound to be a little cranky

in your condition.

I am not cranky!

Of course not.

Well, I'm not!

That's right.

Come on. I'll help you with the dishes.

Fred, what is all that?

Well, I want to get the little fella

started off right.

Oh, Fred, for heaven's sake.

Here, Lucy. For my godson.

Oh... gee, thanks, Fred.

Oh, she doesn't want all that junk.

Junk? Do you realize

that that's an honest-to-goodness

Yankee ball cap?

Huh! Junk...

And wait till you see the name on this.

That's the name of the best ballplayer

the Yankees ever had.

Oh. "Spaulding."

No, honey, turn it around.

Oh! "Joe DiMaggio!"

You betcha.

Old Joltin' Joe himself.

Ah, gee, Fred.

I bet these things meant a lot to you.

You shouldn't be giving them to us.

Aw, why not? There's nothing too good for little Freddie.

Aw...

You mean, there's nothing too good

for little Ethel.

That baby's name is going to be Fred.

How can they call little Ethel "Fred"?

Oh, now wait a minute. Just a minute.

We're getting a little ahead of ourselves, aren't we?

The baby won't be here for quite a while, you know.

That's right.

Yeah, I guess you're right there.

There's plenty of time to name him Fred.

Yeah.

Ah, I bet Ricky was thrilled, huh, Lucy?

She didn't get a chance to tell him.

You didn't?

No.

I'm going down to the club and tell him.

Oh, Lucy, that won't be the way

you've always planned it.

Well, I can't help it. Ricky's got to know.

And if I don't tell him soon,

I might as well wait and let the baby tell him.

All right, all right. All right, fellas.

Let's, uh, let's try "Granada," huh?

You got it in there?

What's the number of that?

And listen, I want to check this mic, too--

Be sure the balance is right.

Wait a minute, everybody!

Now, stand still! Don't make a move.

My wife came down here

That's the only thing that counts right now.

I don't even want to hear a pin drop.

Please be quiet.

All right, honey. What is it?

Do you have the right time?

What?!

What time is it?

Oh, now, honey, you didn't come down here

to ask me that, did you?

Yes, I... Have you got the time?

Oh, now, honey, now tell me, honey,

What is it?

Nothing...

Oh, honey, Lucy!

Honey, sweetheart.

Honey, please, now what is it?

- What's the matter? - Nothing!

Leave me alone.

I'll be all right.

Honey...?

Now, you go and try to figure out a woman.

Come on, fellas.

We got a lot of work to do. Let's go.

Hey, you just gave us five.

All right, I'm taking it back.

Let's go, eh? Come on.
