Lucy, if you're going to watch television, go in the living room. If

going to eat your dinner, sit down and eat it.

If you'd gotten home on time, we could have finished dinner before this program

started. Well, I'm sorry, but I have to earn a living.

Hi, folks. Hi. Hi, kids. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you'd be through dinner.

Oh, Ricky had to work late.

Want some coffee?

Just coffee?

Ethel, you can't be hungry again.

I just want a little sweet taste. I have some brownies, but I'm afraid they're

pretty stale.

Stale brownies taste better. Okay.

Just coffee will be fine.

All right, we'll have it in the living room.

Go on, for the rest of the night. Can I help you?

Yeah, I got me a couple more dennycats up there. How are you, Rick? How you

been, friend? Fine, thanks.

How are you?

Okay, boy.

Hey, who's going to win that fight Wednesday night?

I don't know. I haven't decided yet.

Say, how about me getting a couple of tickets and we're going to see it, huh?

How can you go? Don't you have to work?

Oh, didn't I tell you?

They're painting the club. I got a week off.

Oh, great.

A whole week off? Well, how come you didn't tell me before?

Well, I guess I figured that Lucy would tell Ethel and Ethel would tell you.

Ethel didn't say a word.

I wonder why old Blabbermouth kept it a secret.

Here's your coffee.

Uh -oh. Good, good.

There we are.

There you are, Fred.

Ethel, why didn't you tell me Ricky had a week off?

What?

Lucy, why didn't you tell me Ricky had a week off?

Why didn't you tell me Ricky had a week off?

They're painting the club so everybody gets a vacation. They're painting the

club so everybody gets a vacation.

They're painting the club. I heard, I heard.

Oh, honey, that's sensational. When does it start?

It's already started. They're beginning to paint tomorrow.

Oh. Oh, boy, Ricky. What are you going to do with all that time off? Oh, don't

worry about that.

I should say not.

Fred and I are going to see the fights Wednesday night.

On Thursday night, I got a poker game.

And some of the boys are lining up a hunting trip for the rest of the week.

Oh, haven't you forgotten something, dear?

No.

Are you sure?

Mm -hmm.

Well, I hate to tell you this, but the Lucy Ricardo Travel Bureau has made

reservations for you.

Such as what?

I can arrange for you to spend seven glorious days at 623 East 68th Street.

The cuisine is wonderful, the rates are reasonable, and we have facilities for

all... the popular sports, such as vacuuming, washing dishes, hanging

out to dry.

Now, Lucy... Besides, there's a gentleman who lives in this neighborhood

just dying to meet you. He's heard a lot about you, and I think it's high time

you two got together.

Who's that?

His name is Ricky Ricardo Jr.

You mean Little Ricky?

Oh, then you have heard of him.

Now, look, I don't want to start any... Let's go, Fred. Yeah.

We'll go through the kitchen and pick up those brownies on the way out. That so?

Well, I'm not going to eat them. I'm afraid they're going to start throwing

things. If they use those brownies, they'll kill each other.

Now, just a minute. Nobody has to go anyplace.

There's not going to be any arguments.

Lucy's absolutely right.

Oh, yeah.

I am.

Yes, you are. I'm going to cancel everything and stay right here at home

child. It's a boy, you know.

Down, you two. Oh, honey, that's just great.

I'll go get little Ricky. He should be through with his book by now. All right.

Book?

Yeah, he likes to spend about an hour with a good book before he goes to

Reading it? No, tearing it.

He sometimes heats a page or two.

Oh, you're crazy.

Imagine that, a whole week off with nothing to do, just hanging around the

house. Yeah.

I ought to take a week off myself sometime.

From what?

You've been hanging around the house for 23 years.

I wish you'd take a week off and go someplace.

Has it only been 23 years?

Say goodnight to Aunt Ethel. Goodnight, darling. Say goodnight to Uncle Fred.

Goodnight, son.

Say goodnight to... Well...

You know, I heard a lot about you. We're going to be spending a lot of time

together from now on.

Well, I'll tuck him in, tell him his bedtime story. Hey, let me do that.

Do what?

Tuck him in and tell him his bedtime story.

Come on.

Well, okay.

Give me his bottle here.

Okay. What's your favorite bedtime story, huh? Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood. Little Red Riding... Oh, yeah.

You sure you know it? Of course I know it. My mother used to tell it to me when

I was a little child.

Oh. We have bedtime stories in Cuba, too, you know.

You just rest your mind at ease.

Yes, sir. Come on, boy. Come on.

I'll tell you your favorite bedtime story.

Caperucita Roja.

Oh, isn't it wonderful seeing them together?

Gee, you know what?

Capuracita Roja. What's that?

I don't know.

Maybe it's Little Red Riding Hood in Spanish.

Oh! Oh, this I got to see. Can we come along? Sure. Come on. Hurry up.

Oh, he's pushing the door for Papa and everything. Boy, you're a big, strong

boy. Come on now.

Come on.

Now you'll be a good boy.

Here we go.

Okay. Look at this.

Come on.

Okay, I'm going to tell you your favorite bedtime story, Caperucita Roja.

Now, once upon a time, había una muchachita muy bonita que le decían

Roja, porque siempre tenía un red bonnet.

Una mañana, su mamá le dio un básquet, y en el básquet puso frijoles,

tortillas, y también le puso ahí vino.

Y le dijo, Caperucita Roja.

Lleva este básquet a tu gran mamá que está en su casa. Y tu gran mamá está

feeling lousy.

Caperucita Roja cogió el básquet y dice, All right, mamá. Adiós, mamá. Y se fue.

Y entonces

miró y allí estaba el lobo.

Y el lobo dijo, buenos días, caperucita roja.

Y el caperucita dijo, buenos días, señor lobo. Y el lobo dijo, ¿qué tienes ahí

en el basque?

Y el caperucita dijo, aquí en el basque tengo frijoles, tortillas y vino.

Que se lo voy a llevar a gran mamá que está feeling lousy.

Y el lobo dijo, muy bien.

¿Por qué no vas por el jardín and pick some flowers?

Y Caperucita dijo, all right, muy bien. Y después por el jardín to pick the

flowers.

Y entonces el

lobo dijo, ajá, gran mamá en la casa. Boom, boom, boom.

Y gran mamá dice, hello, ¿quién está ahí? Y el lobo dijo, Caperucita

Roja. Y gran mamá dice, venga, entra, entra.

Y el lobo abrió la puerta y entró.

Y estaba la gran mamá en la cama.

Not bad.

Y entonces se metió en la cama y cogió el blanket y se cubrió.

¿Sí? Y Caperucita estaba por allá, por el bosque, picando de flowers. And the

lion!

And the lion!

And the lion!

And the lion!

And the lion! And the lion!

And the lion!

And the lion!

What big ojos tú tienes.

Y el lobo dijo, sí, para verte mejor, my dear.

Y Caperucita dijo, gran mamá, qué boca tan grande tú tienes.

Y el lobo dijo, tweet, tweet.

Y entonces vino ya el

hunter. Y el hunter hizo, pum, pum, pum.

Y el lobo se cayó a muerte.

Good night, old man.

Good night.

Wasn't that cute?

El Lobo.

Well,

how'd it go, dear?

Oh, fine. Real good.

Isn't it fun telling him a bedtime story?

Oh, yeah.

Did you see the expression on his face when I did El Lobo?

Yeah, wasn't that the... What do you mean, did I see the... Did you know we

out there?

Well, I didn't know it all the time. At first, I thought it was mice.

But I never heard a mice giggle before.

I didn't know you were there till the very end.

Jeez, wonderful taking care of the baby.

Why don't you let me take complete charge while I'm home?

You mean everything?

Yeah, all day, everything.

That means getting up at six o 'clock.

So, that's not so tough.

Well, I don't know if you know this working nights are and all, but there's

o 'clock in the morning, too.

I know, I know.

Now, look, starting tomorrow morning, you don't have to worry about anything.

I'll get up and take care of the baby, and you can stay in bed and sleep as

as you want.

Are you ready for your breakfast?

With green onions, green peppers, and mushrooms.

Spanish omelet?

Come on, you've got to eat all of your oatmeal.

All your oatmeal. Come on. Come on. Then you grow big and strong and you can

have a Spanish omelet like your old man.

Come on.

Listen, we better put a napkin on you because if you get... Don't get any

like that.

Mommy get mad.

Don't you want any more?

Okay, you had enough. Come on.

We go get dressed for the day.

We're going to go out and play football and we're going to box and we're going

to have a wonderful time. Come on.

Yes, sir.

Shh.

We don't want to wake Mommy up. This is the first good Red's Cheese Hut in a

long time.

and back and forth, I'm getting a crick in my neck. I'm sorry. I guess I'm a

little nervous.

After all, this is the first time Ricky's had to take care of the baby all

all by himself.

Now listen, Lucy.

What's that?

What's what? I heard a cry.

Oh, wait a minute. That was Mrs. Trumbull's cat. Are you sure?

I am, unless little Ricky's sitting on the windowsill going meow.

Come on, sit down. Relax.

All right.

I'm shopping.

Oh, yeah. I guess it would be better if I got away from here. Sure. This is your

big day off, remember?

Oh, yeah.

I'm just being silly. I'll go get my things.

Hi.

Hi. Hi. How are you doing?

Just fine.

Ethel and I thought we'd go shopping.

Good, honey. Go ahead.

horseback riding business, you know? Yeah, what a jockey he'd make.

Who do you like in the fifth at Santa Anita?

If you'd rather I didn't go shopping, I don't have to go.

Oh, I can fix it. No, no, no, no, Fred. Wait a minute. I'll do it. I'll do it.

Let me do it. Will you hold it?

No, hold it. Wait a minute. This is a very funny thing here. You've got to

how to do it.

Coming in now. It is?

Yeah, that's the game.

There you are.

Well, get over there and sit down. Let's watch it.

This is a big game. Yeah.

Oh, kickoff. Wow, wow, wow.

What's he doing?

Well, I'm ready.

I'm sorry I took so long.

I wasn't going to... Lucy, you're going to look like that all... Probably.

Now, listen, honey, you've got to get used to being separated from your son.

That's part of being a mother.

I don't see why.

Why?

It just is.

First, he'll go to school, and then he'll go away to college, and then he'll

married and leave home altogether.

Oh!

Oh, don't cry. He'll come home for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

That is, if his mother -in -law doesn't mind.

You'll feel better when we get in the stores.

Well, maybe you're right.

Oh!

Ricky!

What was he doing out in the hall?

That's what I'd like to know.

Honey, are you all right?

Lucy! Honey, what?

Your door's open. He must have crawled out and they didn't even miss him. Oh,

no. Oh, no, honey, sneak down and close that door. Okay. I've got an idea.

Listen, listen, you take care of the baby.

I'm going to give a certain absent -minded Cuban a lesson he'll never

Okay, come on.

It's all right. Come on, sweetie.

Here you are.

Turn it down a little bit, will you, friend? Yeah.

Hello? Oh, hello, dear.

Oh, I... Ethel and I were just getting ready to leave, and I thought I'd check

and see how little Ricky was.

He's not in there, Rick.

Honey, little business Rick right now.

What's that?

Little Rick is busy right now.

Busy? Doing what?

He's watching the football game with his Uncle Fred.

Oh. Yeah, I'll have him call you right after the game.

Gee, I didn't want to upset Lucy.

Hide and seek. That's it.

Mr. Rickey!

Mr. Rickey! Mr. Rickey!

Olly olly, I'll send free!

Mr. Rickey!

Mr.

Rickey!

I read he must have gotten out in the hallway someplace. I'll go get him. I'll

call the police.

Call the police? What for?

Well, every time a kid wanders away, you go down and look in the police station.

and you find him there eating an ice cream cone.

Okay, call the police.

Hello?

Hello?

I forgot my gloves.

Oh.

Where's little Ricky?

He's taking a nap.

Oh, another nap? He already had one. I know, yeah, but his little eyes got very

tired watching television, and he wants to take another nap. Oh, well, maybe I

better take a look at him. No!

You see, his team lost, and he's pretty upset.

His team lost. He's very upset.

You run along, dear. No, no. I think I'll wait and see him when he wakes up.

I'd better go look at the furnace.

Now, Lucy, wait a minute.

I don't like the way you're acting. I'll bet he isn't even in there. Now, honey.

Uh -huh.

He's here.

I mean, he's here.

You have a nice nap.
