Fluffo-- the fluffy, rich, golden yellow shortening

for a new kind of baking in prime.

Better in every way presents

the Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz show I Love Lucy.

And now, I Love Lucy.

Shall we say goodbye from here?

Huh? What you say, Mother?

Shall we say goodbye from here?

No! Come on. You can come on the boat.

Sure! Go ahead!

- Oh, bye! - [Ethel] Goodbye!

This is ours, right?

Oh, honey! Look at the beautiful stateroom!

- [Ricky] Hey, how about this, huh? - Look at the things everybody sent us.

- Yeah. - Oh, look at this extravaganza.

"Bon voyage from Billy, Danny and little Jerry Asher."

Isn't that nice?

Gosh. What a boat this is!

It has a ballroom, a theater, some shops

- and even elevators! - I know. Isn't it great?

It's just like a big hotel floating along on the waves.

Oh, that reminds me, Lucy.

I brought the bottle of-- of seasick pills you wanted.

- Oh, thank you, Mother. - Here you are.

[Ricky] Oh...

You won't need those.

Well, I know, but my stomach will rest easier if my mind knows they're here.

- Uh, Mrs. Ricardo? - Yes, dear?

I wonder if you'd do me a little favor while you're in Paris.

Well, of course, I will, Mrs. Trumbull. What is it?

Will you buy me a bottle of French perfume?

You know I will, but it'll be a present from us.

Oh, no.

Now, I insist. What kind of perfume do you want?

My Sin?

Oh!

Now, Lucy, I want you to just enjoy yourself

and don't worry about a thing.

Oh, I can't see Lucy not worrying about the baby.

Well, I'll relax if you promise to cable me if he even sneezes.

What you gonna do, cable back "gesundheit"?

Well, I just want to know, that's all.

Oh, we have a phone! You can call me every day.

Oh, I can't call you when you're at sea.

Oh, yes, you can, but it's pretty expensive.

Well, make it station-to-station. That way, it'll be cheaper.

And I know I'm-- I'm always gonna be home.

- - What's the number?

There's no number, Mother.

You call the marine operator and ask for the Constitution.

But let me put it this way: don't call us, we'll call you.

Well, maybe not for just a sneeze, but anything important, huh, Mom?

- Okay. - Okay, okay.

- All ashore that's going ashore! -

- Oh, dear. Let me kiss him goodbye. - Uh-oh. Come on, son.

- Give us a kiss goodbye, honey. - Goodbye.

Goodbye? Goodbye? Where's everybody going?

- Huh? - Where's everybody going?

Well, the man says, "All ashore who's going ashore."

Oh, they start that long before you have to get off.

Oh. Honey, he said they start that long before they have to get off.

Oh, well, good, that'll give me a few more minutes with the baby, then.

- Say, how you like your stateroom? - Oh, it's just gorgeous!

- It's right down the hall. -

Band manager reporting, sir. All members present and accounted for.

At ease, Mr. "Manayer."

Ah, did you hear that, honey?

Your papa has a band "manayer."

For heaven's sake, Ethel, can't you wait?

You've been spoiling the looks of the basket.

Oh, I can't help it. This sea air makes me hungry.

We haven't even left the dock.

Well, we haven't even left the dock.

Wait till she finds out the food's free.

Could be the biggest bundle Britain's ever seen.

- All ashore that's going ashore. -

Uh-oh, I think this is it, honey. We'd better go.

- Yeah, we'd better go now. - Oh, come on, dear.

[Ricky] All right.

Goodbye, son.

- Goodbye. Aw, I hate to see him go. - It's all right, Mommy.

- Aw, goodbye. - Honey, we can say goodbye from the deck.

We can wave from the deck.

- We'll wave goodbye from the deck. - All right.

- Oh, goodbye, Mrs. Trumbull! - All right, goodbye, Little Ricky!

- Goodbye, honey! - Goodbye, sweetheart!

Goodbye, honey!

Hey, who are you waving at?

That tall blonde down there.

You don't know her.

Well, I can dream, can't I?

- Bye! - Oh, Fred!

- [Lucy] Goodbye! - Bye, Mrs. Trumbull!

Now, that's more your speed.

Goodbye!

- Bye, son! - [Fred] Bye.

Well, honey, your dream's come true.

You're going to Europe.

How about that, eh?

It's wonderful.

- Oh, Mr. Ricardo. - Yes?

The purser would like to check your schedule. It'll only take just a moment.

All right. Fred, will you come with me? See you in a minute, honey.

- [Fred] Okay, Rick. Come on. - Oh, Lucy, isn't this great?

- What's the matter, honey? - I miss the baby.

Oh. Now, it's not gonna be for very long.

I just gotta give him one more kiss.

Lucy, you'd better hurry, 'cause we're gonna take off in just a few minutes!

Hurry, hon!

[Mrs. McGillicuddy] Bye! Goodbye!

What were you saying?

- I can't hear a word you're saying. -

Now, you make sure...

Bye! Goodbye! What are you saying?

- Lucy's coming down there. -

She wanted to kiss the baby. Can't you hear me?

- - What?

She-- What? She's coming down there!

[Mrs. McGillicuddy] Where's Lucy?

Bye-bye!

- How much time do we have? - About two minutes.

[Lucy] Okay.

[Mrs. McGillicuddy] I can't hear what you're saying

- and I know you can't hear me. - Mother, Mother.

- Lucy. - Let me give the baby a kiss.

- What are you doing down here? - Oh, I just had to give him one more hug.

Now, stop being silly. You'll miss The boat.

Oh, you don't know what it's like to be a mother, Mother.

Oh, Sweetheart, that's my good little baby.

Now, you be a good little angel

and I'll bring you lots of things from Europe, honey.

I'm not worrying about him, dear.

I just had to give him one more hug, that's all.

Give me a kiss, sweetheart.

Give me a kiss. Oh! Oh!

Sorry, lady.

Oh, my skirt is caught.

Oh, now hurry up! They're gonna raise the gangplank!

Hold the boat!

Oh! Oh! Get that thing off of here.

- The stand! - Oh, for heaven's sake!

- Oh, come on now. -

Hold the boat! Hold the...

- Hurry up! - Come on!

- I can't get it-- - Oh, somebody help! Lucy, hurry up!

- Come on, honey! -

- Hurry up! - I can't get it unhooked!

You're getting grease all over my skirt, for heaven's sake.

That's my girlfriend, Lucy. She's supposed to be on this boat.

She's stuck in that bike. Lucy! Oh...

- Goodbye! Goodbye, Little Ricky! - Bye!

Goodbye, Mrs. Trumbull!

Bye, Mother!

Bye, Lucy!

Lucy!

Lucy, what are you doing there?

- Rick, what are you doing? - What's she doing down there?

- Wait a minute. -

Somebody hold the boat!

Can't you get that thing off of here?

It's no use. I can't get it unhooked.

Come on now, really try.

Hey, wait a minute!

Where do you think you're going?

- I've got to get on this boat. - Not with my bike, you don't!

Oh, after all, this is just a bicycle, for heaven's sake. I can't miss the boat.

This bike is more important to me than that boat.

- - Hold the boat!

Oh! Have you got a knife?

- No, but here's a pencil. - I don't want to write a letter!

Hold the boat!

Here.

Bye! Bye!

Lucy! Come on, Lucy!

Lucy! Come on, honey!

Come on and what?

- Jump! - Jump?

- Yeah, honey! - Will you catch me?

Yeah, I'll catch you, honey. I'll-- I'll count to three.

One, two...

- Look out, we're moving! - Oh!

- We're moving, honey! - Ricky! Ricky!

- Yeah, honey? - Do something!

- I'll do something. - Turn the boat around!

- Ricky! Ricky! Do something! - Yeah, honey?

- I'll do something, honey! - Tell them to turn the boat around!

Oh, God!

Mother, they sailed without me! The boat went without me, Mother!

There must be something we can do! Somebody will think of something, Lucy!

Officer! Officer! Officer, my wife is on the docks!

- Stop the ship! - Well, now, that's impossible, sir.

- But-- but look... - Everything's gonna be all right, sir.

She can come out on the pilot boat and come aboard when the pilot gets off.

Oh, you can come on the pilot boat!

- Wait a minute. - What?

Come out on the pilot boat, honey! On the pilot-- She can't hear me.

You can telephone the dock agent. He'll page her.

Oh, okay.

Ricky's gonna call somebody to help you!

Oh, these things happen.

Hello? Operator? Operator?

Hagame favor de darme aquí el dock...

Me haga favor-- de darme el dock y que...

Oh...

Give me the dock agent, please.

- - Dock agent speaking.

Say, Doc, will you--

Will you please page Mrs. Ricky Ricardo, please?

Yes, sir. One moment, please.

Mrs. Ricky Ricardo, please report to the dock agent's desk.

Mrs. Ricky Ricardo, please report to the dock agent's desk.

- I'm Mrs. Ricky Ricardo. - It's for you.

Oh, thank you. Hello?

Honey, this is Ricky!

Oh, Ricky!

Now, honey, get-- get a hold of yourself.

I missed the boat.

I'm not gonna be able to go to Europe at all.

- Now, honey, listen to me. - Ricky!

- Lis-- Honey, you can... - Oh, Ricky!

Honey, you can come out on the pilot boat.

I can come out on what?

You can come out on the pilot boat!

The pilot boat?

- Yes. - Well, where do I get it?

Ask the dock agent.

- Oh, okay. - And hurry!

Yeah, honey! Where can I get the-- the pilot boat for the Constitution?

You get down to the end of the pier, turn right,

and then after about 30 yards down,

you'll see a ramp that leads down to a lower level.

On the lower level, you'll see a little pier that has two boats tied to it.

- Yeah. - Those are the pilot boats.

Oh, uh, the end of the pier, uh, lower level, two boats.

You'd better hurry. They'll be leaving...

Pardon me, mister.

Mrs. Ricardo, what happened?

Have you got a pilot boat that goes to the pilot boat?

You didn't miss it?

Oh, didn't I?

Well, what happened?

Well, I'll tell you. You may not believe it, but I'll tell you.

I went down to the end of the pier. I ran 30 yards to the right.

I ran down the ramp to the lower level.

I saw the little pier with the two little boats tied to it,

and one of them was on its way.

So, I raced to the end of the pier

and I made a flying leap across and landed kerplunk on the deck.

Well, then what are you doing here?

That boat was on the way in!

No. What about the other boat?

By the time I noticed my mistake, it was gone.

What do I do now?

The Independence is leaving in a couple days. Maybe you can...

I want to go on the Constitution

so I can be with my husband, so I can be with my friends,

so I can eat my bon voyage fruit before it all gets spoiled.

I'm sorry, lady, but...

- Wait a minute. There might be a way. - How? How?

Just a month ago, we had a passenger miss this same boat.

- He hired a helicopter and flew out to it. - Oh, that's wonderful!

- All right, where do I get one? - Idlewild Airport.

Oh, boy, a helicopter!

A helicopter?

- You see Lucy yet? - No. Wait till they get a little closer.

Lucy's...

- Lucy's not on that boat! - No, she isn't!

Maybe she's in the wheelhouse.

- Ahoy there! - [Ricky] Hey!

Hey!

He hears you.

Have you got a woman on that boat?

What, are you a private detective or something?

Big joker.

No. My wife, she missed this boat!

She missed this one, too, buddy.

How could Lucy miss that boat too?

She's Lucy. Does that answer your question?

Well, there's one other chance, Mr. Ricardo.

- What's that? - About a month ago,

one of our passengers missed the boat and he hired a helicopter and flew out.

A helicopter?

I don't know. I don't like the idea of Lucy taking a helicopter.

- That's too risky. - Yeah, for the helicopter.

Oh, come on now, Ricky. It's the only way.

Well... Where can we get one?

Well, we'll have to call Idlewild Airport.

- Why don't you come with me. - Okay. Yeah, well ...

Oh, Fred, what if Lucy misses the helicopter?

Well, if I know Lucy, she'll grease her body and swim after it.

Yes, madam?

I want to rent a helicopter.

Oh, I'm sorry, our helicopter is being used right now.

Oh, darn it. I should have called.

Isn't it a shame?

It was sitting here all morning,

and now it's just taking off on an emergency call.

Well, I'm an emergency, too. When will it be back?

Oh, I don't know, ma'am.

It's leaving right now

to pick up some crazy dame who missed the SS Constitution.

Well, get it back! Get it back!

- But, ma'am... - I'm that crazy dame. Get it back!

- Come back! - Joe, Joe, radio the copter to come back

- to the field immediately. - Oh, for heaven's sake!

Oh, well, don't just stand there!

Do something! Get that plane back here!

- I just did. - I've got to get on that ship.

My husband's on that ship. My friends are on that ship.

We've planned to go to Europe for...

- You just did? - Yes, ma'am.

Oh, thank you! Thank you!

I, uh, beg your pardon, madam, but, uh, your slip is showing.

Yeah, I know, and I-- I tore it too when I jumped for the pilot boat.

You jumped right out of your skirt?

Uh, no. I had to take it off. I got it caught in a bicycle.

Oh, I see. Uh, would you allow me to get some-- some coveralls?

Oh, would you? I'd appreciate it so much. Thank you.

- Would you make that a size 12, please? - Yes.

And maybe in charcoal gray so it would match what I'm wearing.

Well, this is my first time on a luxury liner,

and I don't-- don't want to look tacky...

going aboard.

Have we left yet?

Left? We're a thousand feet in the air.

Oh. Oh!

Relax, Mrs. Ricardo. Relax.

Well, I'll try, but I've never been up in a helicopter before.

Well, I guess it is a little different from those big airliners.

I got news for you: I've never been up in one of those either.

Now, there's no reason to be frightened.

Please, Mrs. Ricardo, try to relax and enjoy it.

Yeah, I'll-- I'll try to relax,

but I don't think I'm gonna enjoy it.

Where's the door?

The door's gone!

Well, we took it off so it would be easier for you to get out.

Right now, I'm just concerned with staying in.

Well, Mrs. Ricardo, just settle back and take a look at the view.

Gee, all you can see is water.

That's right.

Except for that cigar someone threw away.

Mrs. Ricardo, that cigar is your ship.

That dinky little thing?

It's the SS Constitution.

Gee, the water must have shrunk it.

Well, it will get a little bigger as we get down closer to it.

Oh.

- Pretty good-size cigar, isn't it? - Yeah.

Now it's beginning to look like a ship with little ants running all over it.

You'd better start getting ready.

Oh. Okay.

How do I look?

No, no, no. I mean your harness. Is it on tight?

You mean my safety belt?

Oh, that isn't a safety belt. That's a harness.

A harness? What do I need a harness for? When we land, I just step out, don't I?

We're not allowed to land.

Not allowed to land?

No.

You mean we can't land on that deck?

No, it's against the rules.

I hover over the boat and lower you down on a cable.

You hover over where and lower who on a what?

- Mrs. Ricardo, it's done all the time. - Not to me, it isn't.

You turn this eggbeater around and go back to the airport.

Well, I-I can assure you it's perfectly safe.

It's up to you.

You want to get down to that boat, this is the only way to do it.

You hover over the-- the ship

and-- and-- and lower me on-- on something, and then ...

Either that or back to the airport.

Well ...

Now fasten that hook to your belt.

- What hook? - That hook right out there.

- That one? - Yeah.

I can't reach it.

Wait a minute. I'll release it for you.

There.

You got it?

Yeah.

Don't push! I'm not ready yet!

I was just trying to tell you to throw your legs

over the side and jump out, and I gradually lower--

- I jump out? - Yeah.

Now sit down on the edge, put your feet over and jump out.

I can't do it. I can't do it.

Yes, you can.

No. Are you sure this cable's strong enough?

Yes, of course.

Well, all right.

I can't do it!

So you're gonna have to give me a push.

Okay. I'll count to three.

Okay.

One, two...

Wait a minute! I got an idea. Uh...

What?

Have you, by any chance, got enough gasoline to fly me all the way to Europe?

No, I'm afraid not.

Well, maybe you can borrow some from the captain of the boat.

- I'll pay for it. - Mrs. Ricardo--

I got a credit card. Money's no object.

Mrs. Ricardo, this is the only way.

Now, wait a minute.

Think. Maybe you'll get an idea.

Haste makes waste, you know?

Now, come on. We're almost over the ship.

Now out you go.

One, two, three.

- Are you all right? - Huh?

- You all set? - Yeah.

Okay. Here we go.

- [Ethel shouts] - [Ricky] Lucy!

Honey, hold on to that rope!

Honey!

Fred, look at her hang off of that rope.

Come on!

[Ricky] Honey, over here!

- Come on! - Come on, honey!

You all right, honey?

Whoa!

Come on!

Come on, bring her down!

Honey, are you all right?

- [Lucy] Oh! Oh! - [Ricky] Got it?

- Got it? You got it? You get it? - [Ricky] Huh?

Oh!

Goodbye!

Oh, he was the nicest pilot.

He didn't want me to do that, but I said, "Oh..."

- Are you all right? You all right? - Oh, sure. I'm fine.

There was nothing to it. Well, I'm here, aren't I?

[Ethel] Yeah, yeah.

Oh, the poor thing.

Will Mrs. Anderson please come to the purser's office?

Will Mrs. Anderson please come to the purser's office?

- Hi. - Oh, hi.

- Did you see the ship's newspaper? - No.

They just raved about your new MGM record of "Forever, Darling."

- No kidding. - Yeah.

They say it's gonna be one of the top records of the year.

Well...

- Did you bring any records with you? - Yeah.

Well, let's get them to play it on the public address system.

- Oh, no, honey. - Oh, why not?

- Well, that wouldn't be right. - Oh, now, I know how modest you are,

but think what a treat it would be for the passengers.

Oh, honey...
