Oh, sweet little thing.

You're sleeping for two now, you know. Yeah, I know, but this is very

See, the doctor gave me this book, and it's all about infant care, and you have

to practice with the doll so you know everything there is to do before the

gets here. Ah.

You have to practice, too.

Really? Yeah.

Isn't it cute?

Is this little Scott or Pamela Ricardo?

Scott or Pamela. Do you really like those names, Ricky?

Now, Lucy, for weeks we've been going on...

and over thousands of names.

I'm so confused I don't know what my name is.

Now, last night we decided, finally, both of us, that the baby's name is

to be Scott if he's a boy and Pamela if he's a girl. I know, I know, but I went

over those names today and they just don't go with Ricardo.

All right, then, let's change Ricardo.

That'll be easier.

Now, look, there's nothing to joke about, Ricky. It's a terrible thing to

through, go through life with the wrong name.

The poor little baby.

All right. All right. What are the names now?

Gregory or Joanne.

Good. Gregory or Joanne.

Isn't Gregory a beautiful name?

Yeah, honey, beautiful.

So is Joanne.

Joanne.

Joanne.

Ricky, do you really think Joanne... Gregory or Joanne.

Now, Lucy, I don't care what you name the baby, but we got to get it settled.

Well, I'm not going to settle on just any old thing. I want the... names to be

unique and euphonious. Okay.

Unique if it's a boy and euphonious if it's a girl.

For your information, those are not names, they're words.

Well, they're the prettiest ones you mentioned yet.

How about Gregory if it's a boy and Cynthia if it's a girl?

That's fine, honey.

Still, I always like the name Philip for a boy.

How about Philip for a boy?

And Morris if it's a girl.

Oh, Ricky.

Now, honey, forget about the names. You're going to go to bed. Come on. No,

not. Not till we get this settled. I'll sleep late in the morning. Lucy, you're

going to bed.

No, no, honest. I'll go back to bed right after I get your breakfast.

You're not going to get my breakfast.

Who is?

I am.

And what's more, I'm going to get your breakfast, too.

Oh, really?

Absolutely.

There's nothing too good for the mother of my child.

Oh, honey. Come on, honey. You gotta take it easy. Now, come on. You gotta go

bed. Come on. Okay.

Hey.

Oh, Ricky.

I've got the perfect name. Something very simple.

John or Mary.

That's fine, honey.

John or Mary. Oh, I'm glad that's settled.

Good.

about that.

Well... Are you hungry?

Oh, starved. After all, I'm eating for me and little Romeo or Juliet.

Romeo or Juliet?

Yeah, aren't they beautiful names?

What happened to John and Mary?

Well, I got to thinking last night. Mary's all right, but every Tom, Dick,

Harry's named John.

All right, I give up.

What do you want for breakfast?

bother. But you like him so much. Oh, but they're too much trouble.

Well, there won't be any trouble for you.

You just stay right here and take it easy, and I'll take care of everything.

Oh. I want you to have your favorite breakfast, waffles.

Okay.

I'll have them for you in a jiffy. All right.

You just stay there and rest now. I will, dear. All right.

Are you sure, dear?

Yeah. Do you look way in the back?

Yeah, I look all over the place. Not there.

Well, I must put it up here.

Hey, honey, wait, wait, honey. You can't climb up.

You're supposed to be resting.

Okay.

I know I saw her in here this morning someplace.

I just blocked the coffee pot.

Oh.

Well, uh, you go on up to bed. I'll fix you waffles. Okay.

You looked up in here behind the cage. I looked up in there and every place, but

not there. Oh, I don't know where else it could be.

What's this?

A waffle mix.

How did I get there?

Don't cook breakfast for me this morning.

I'm not strong enough.

I was cooking breakfast for Lucy.

Attaboy. We got to take care of Lucy, little Fred.

Well, don't count on the baby being called Fred.

She's changed her mind every three seconds.

Actually, that's because she's going to have a baby.

Do they all act that way? Of course.

Expectant mothers are the most unpredictable creatures in the world.

Well, Lucy sure is. You know, I got up this morning and I offered to cook her

waffles. And then suddenly, for no reason at all,

She said she doesn't want me to cook her breakfast.

No?

I'm telling you, being an expectant father is pretty tough on a man. Yeah, I

know, but you've got to go along with it. Sure.

In a minute or so, she probably says that she wants breakfast, so I'll just

forget her unpredictable behavior and turn the other chick.

Chick?

Yeah. Is that what you're having for breakfast?

Chick, chick, the outside of your face.

That's what I said.

You want to help me?

Sure, I'll help you. Get me some milk and some eggs there, will you? Sure.

Lucy?

Lucy?

Hi. Hi, having breakfast in bed.

Yeah, Ricky and Fred cooked waffles for me this morning.

They did?

Yeah. How were they?

Well, I don't know. You want to try one?

would be good for the baby's teeth i suppose they left a few dishes in the

kitchen come on let's see okay

to get your rest.

Oh, I really don't mind.

Ricky meant well. It's just the idea that counts.

Yeah. This shows how much he loves me.

You know, it's amazing the way he fusses over me and takes care of me since

we've been expecting the baby. Well, that's one thing you can be sure of.

really loves you all right.

Yeah.

Ethel. What?

Now that I think of it, he never... treated me this nice when it was just

What do you mean?

It's just the baby he loves.

Oh, don't be silly.

It is? It's little Sharon or Pierpont.

That's all that counts.

Oh, Lucy, you're just being crazy.

I am not. You are too.

He's only taking care of me because of the baby.

He doesn't love me. Now,

That's not true.

I've been trying to get hold of you all afternoon.

Oh, I was out shopping all day. I brought Lucy some presents.

Lucy? Oh, thank goodness for that.

Well, what's the matter? She's been moping around all day. She's got a crazy

idea that instead of being... Hiya, honey.

Hello.

I brought some presents for you.

I should have read. Oh, oh, then these are for me.

No, no, honey. Those are for the baby, too.

You don't seem to get the idea. I get the idea, all right.

Thanks for the present.

Well,

now what's the matter? I can't figure her out these days. She's upset. She

thinks all you care about is the baby and that you don't love her anymore.

What?

Only this morning I fixed the breakfast in bed.

That's because she's going to have a baby. She wants you to do something for

her.

What do you mean?

Well, why don't you take her out for an evening? Take her dining. Take her

dancing.

Dancing? In her condition?

Sure, why not?

Well, all right, if you think it's the thing to do.

Sure, I'd love to take her out dining and dancing.

I'll take her down to the club tonight. Oh, that's great.

to take another couple along.

You know, just to make it a real happy foursome.

Anyone special you have in mind?

We'd love to.

would be half as lovely as you.

I wonder who it's from.

Isn't it signed?

Yeah, it says Ricky, but Ricky who?

Ricky Ricardo.

Oh.

Well, then it must be for the baby.

Now, Lucy, stop being silly. You know this is for you.

sweet, devotedly lover boy.

Aw, isn't that cute?

I wonder who this is from.

Now, Lucy?

Well, I suppose it's from Ricky. You know darn well it is.

Well, it could be from somebody else, you know, except that I happen to

recognize his handwriting and I don't know any other lover boy.

Hello?

Hello, sweetheart.

How is my beautiful girl?

The same crazy fool who sent the flowers and the candy.

What were you calling about, please?

I just miss you, that's all.

Do you?

Yeah. I want to talk to you.

How are you?

I'm fine. How are you?

Fine, honey.

Listen, I hate to think of not seeing you tonight, so why don't you come down

the club and have dinner with me, yeah?

You want me to come down to the club and have dinner with him?

Oh, I'd love to, dear.

afterwards and we can dance for a while. And dancing afterward.

Oh, that would be wonderful, darling.

Good. You want to ask Fred and Ethel to be with us? Okay.

Ethel, we'd love to.

You'd love to what? I haven't asked you anything yet.

Oh, well, what were you going to ask me?

Would you like to go with us? Yes, we'd love to. They'd love to.

Good. I'll see you around 8 o 'clock, huh?

All right.

Goodbye, Angel.

Goodbye, sweetheart.

He loves me Me!

Isn't this fun? I haven't been dancing in ages.

Oh, we ought to do this more often.

Oh, boy, I love to dance, but I haven't danced in a while and I'm a little out

of condition.

A little out of condition?

He puffs so much it's like dancing with a steam engine.

Steam engines always puff when they're pushing a heavy load.

You do no bickering. I'm having a wonderful time and I don't want anything

spoil this evening.

We're not bickering. That's how we make love.

Lucy, this is our dance.

Oh, if you mind, I'll go. No, go ahead. Except the heavy fantastic.

Essel, I gotta hand it to you.

You sure were right.

Yeah. All she wanted was a little attention. She's so happy.

Yeah.

Listen, do you think Fred will mind if I caught in on him?

This is our favorite number. No, go ahead.

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing cheek to

cheek Heaven, I'm in

heaven

And the cares that hung around me through the week seemed

to vanish like a gambler's lucky string.

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.

Oh, I love to climb a mountain and to reach the highest peak.

But it doesn't...

Have as much as dancing cheek to cheek.

Oh, I love to go out fishing on a river or a creek.

I don't enjoy it. Have as much as dancing cheek to cheek.

Dance with me.

I want my arms around you.

The charm about you will carry me. through

heaven I'm in heaven

and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

and I seem to find the happiness I

seek when we're out together dancing

cheek to cheek

You were the handsomest couple on the floor.

Well, that's because I was dancing with my lovely wife.

Honey, what's the matter?

Oh, she's crying because she's so happy.

Are you?

No.

Honey, what's wrong?

My Love, Lucy is a Desilu production.
