Look at this. Isn't it beautiful?

Oh, Lucy, I never saw anything like this in my whole life.

Oh, Ricky, the studio must take a lot of you to get you a suite like this.

Hey, not bad, huh, Fred? Hey, this is some class.

Did you see Van Johnson? Where?

He got in the elevator just as we got off. That wasn't Van Johnson. It was,

It was not.

Wasn't that Van Johnson that got in the elevator?

No, ma 'am, that was the house detective.

just like him.

Everybody looks like a movie star to my wife.

Your room is down the hall.

Okay. We'll see you later. Oh, Ricky, this is so wonderful. I hope you like

place. I hope it's half as nice as this.

Bye. See you later.

Oh,

honey, I can't believe it. We're really here.

And none of this would have happened if you hadn't been so talented, darling.

Oh, at least I know one movie star.

Wait a minute. I better call the studio and tell them we're here.

Where's the phone?

Here. Oh.

Here you are, sir.

Thank you.

Oh, Ricky, look.

Hollywood's out there.

Operator, Hollywood 3 -3 -4 -4 -9, please. Ricky, come here.

Just a minute, honey.

Mr. Sherman, please.

Mr. Sherman, please. Ricky Ricardo calling. What's your room like? Oh, it's

lovely, but it doesn't have a view like this. Look, there's the Brown Derby. Oh,

it is.

Yeah, and Brahman's Chinese Theater's right up there, see? Oh, my.

Mr. Sherman, this is Ricky Ricardo.

We just got in.

Yeah. Oh, yes, we had a wonderful trip. Thank you.

Oh, by the way, Ben Benjamin told me to give you his regards.

He's talking to the studio.

Oh, well, that sounds fine.

what the studio looks like.

At the commissary at 12 for lunch.

All right, I'll see you there. Thank you. Goodbye.

Well, let's go.

Let's go where?

That's his idea of a Hollywood outfit.

Fred, I thought I took that stuff out of the bag in New York.

Well, I put them back.

I've seen pictures of how they dress in Hollywood, and I want to fit in.

I don't want to be conspicuous.

You go take that off. I am not walking down the street with you in that

nightshirt.

Now, Fred, you better go change because we're all going to the studio for lunch.

No kidding? Yeah, Ricky just talked to the producer.

Well, honey, he didn't invite all of us.

in my big mouth. I'm sorry, Ethel and Fred. I thought you were going to get to

go, too. Oh, darn it. Well, that's the way the ball bounces.

Well, honey, you're not going either.

Why not?

Well, because he just invited me.

Oh, darn it.

Well, that's the way the ball bounces.

This is business today.

Oh, here we are in Hollywood and I don't get to do anything.

What am I going to do this afternoon?

Well, for one thing, I need a clean shirt, so why don't you start unpacking?

And after the fun of unpacking wears off, what then?

Well, I'll tell you what.

You drop me by the studio, and then you can have the car for the rest of the

afternoon and do whatever you like.

All right?

I'll go get ready. Hey, that's a wonderful idea, huh?

Well, I suppose we could just drive up and down the streets and hunt movie

stars.

Why not?

Although tracking them down one by one takes so much time.

I wonder if there's any place where they get together in a big herd.

Well, maybe at sundown they all gather at the same watering hole.

That's it. That's where we'll go. Where? The watering hole.

Fellow hunters, we're going to the Brown Derby.

Oh, it's just like I imagined it.

Yes.

Well, come on, let's sit down.

I never really thought I'd be here. Me either.

Come on, let's sit down, will you?

All right.

Oh, look, Eddie Cantor.

Oh,

look at Jimmy Durante. Oh, for heaven's sake, they've used two frames for a

schnozzola.

There's Cary Grant.

Quick.

Right there.

It is.

Oh, you finally saw one. Congratulations.

Thanks. I have a feeling we've run into a whole nest of them.

Will you sit down and stop gawking? You're acting like a tourist.

Well, I am a tourist.

Well, get a hold of yourself.

Okay. Oh, look at the salads.

Look at the pastries. Look at the prices.

Oh, that's different. Now I can look at this side of the menu.

Telephone for Gregory Peck.

Gregory Peck, where is he? I don't see him. We must be here. He got a telephone

call.

There he is. There he is right in there. See?

Oh, isn't he handsome?

Look, he's smiling.

Fred, what's the harm? They're movie stars. They're used to being stared at.

Well, I guess he's right. I guess if they come here to eat, they'd like to

in peace.

Telephone for Walter Pidgeot.

If you two Johnny jump -ups don't sit down, I'm going to eat by myself.

He isn't here.

Why do you have to be such rubbernecks?

They're just people like you and me.

Yeah, I guess we better.

Eat, huh?

Yeah. Might as well decide what we want before the waiter gets here. Yeah.

Oh, boy, I'm going to have a piece of that.

Telephone for Ava Gardner. Where?

Fred.

Fred, sit down.

Remember, she's just people like you and me.

She might be people, but she's not like you and me.

Now, have you decided what you're going to have?

Oh, it's so hard to decide. Everything is so tempting.

What is this derby toss salad?

Anybody knows that, Lucy. You just take some salad and toss it in the derby.

It's a mixed green salad in a foil press. Oh, well, I'll have that, please.

then I'd like the spaghetti and meatballs.

Oh, that sounds good.

I'll have that, too. And lots of meat sauce, please. Yes, ma 'am. I'd like the

veal cutlet Marco Polo. Veal cutlet. Very well.

Have you been in pictures?

No, ma 'am.

Ethel, that picture on the end down there, is that a picture of Shelly

or Judy Holliday?

The one on the end on the bottom.

I can't see the signature. I think it's Shelly Winters.

Well, it looks more like Judy Holiday.

Well, what's the difference?

Ask that lady in the next booth. Maybe she can tell.

Oh, for corn's sake.

Miss, I'm sorry to bother you, but my friend and I can't see the signature on

that last picture. Is that Shelly Winters or Judy Holiday?

Either. That's Eve Arden. Thanks.

Yeah, Gus, I'd like to start off with a...

A Cobb salad.

Yes, sir. And, uh...

You know, they say when they stop looking, that's the time to worry.

Yes, sir.

If

I

get another book, Mr. Holden... Don't worry about it.

You know, I sometimes wonder how a person like that would feel if the shoe

on the other foot.

Wait a minute, that's an idea.

For once, I'm going to turn the tables.

and take it with you.

Good, Bill. Glad you like it.

Oh, Mr. Holden, wardrobe had to send your coat out to be cleaned, but they

this one up for you to wear home. Oh, good.

Thank you.

How did you get covered with all that pie?

Were you on a television show?

No.

Oh, by the way, Ricky Ricardo's here. He wants to show you his Don Juan costume.

Oh, fine. Come on in, Ricky.

Sherman, it doesn't seem to me that this is quite the way to... I don't

think that this is going to work.

This isn't right, is it?

Of course not, Ricky.

Don Juan never wore armor like that.

He was supposed to be a great lover, wasn't he? That's right.

Well, if I ever kissed a girl in this thing, I'd cut her nose off.

Don't worry about it, Ricky. I'll straighten it out with wardrobe.

Oh, meet William Holden, Ricky.

This is Ricky Ricardo, Bill. Oh, how you doing, Mr. Holman? Very glad to know...

Excuse my glove.

Ricky's doing Don Juan for us. Oh?

Say, I think that's one of my old suits.

Yeah? Only I hope you have a lot better luck with it. You see, one day on

location it rained, and on the way back I rusted shut.

And when they got back, they called me and said, Come down to wardrobe.

We're opening a canned ham.

Could I use your telephone a minute? Yeah, help yourself.

I'd like to call my wife and have her come over to pick me up. Sure.

What number do you want to dial?

Oh, uh,

the Beverly Palms Hotel. I'll help you. Wait a minute, Ricky. I go right by

there. I can drop you off.

Oh, no, that'd be too much trouble. Right on my way.

Are you sure?

Sure. Gee, thanks.

Say, if you're not in a rush, could you stop by for a moment?

Sure, I'd love to.

My wife is just dying to meet you.

Ah, here we are, Bill.

Ah, very nice.

Isn't it nice?

The studio got it for me. When you make yourself at home, I'll go get Lucy.

Okay, fine.

Oh, hi, honey.

Hi there.

How was the studio?

Oh, wonderful.

How's the brown dairy?

But I bet you didn't bring one home with you.

What do you mean?

Well, one of the biggest stars in the whole picture business is sitting in our

living room right now.

Who?

William Holden.

What's he doing here?

I thought you'd be pleased.

I met him at the studio, he drove me home, and he wants to meet you. Well, I

don't want to meet him.

What are you talking about?

Are you sick or something?

Yeah, that's it. I'm sick.

Got a headache?

Yeah, I mean... Well, is it your head or is it your stomach? Yeah, well, it sort

of jumps around.

Now, look, Lucy, what's going on? Why don't you want to meet Bill Holden?

Well... I know you're not...

and was nice enough to drive home and come all the way up here to meet you,

you're going to go out there and meet him. But I just can't. Why not?

I just can't.

Why not?

Well, he never did appeal to me very much.

Told me to come out and make the picture.

Well, I certainly want to wish you luck.

Thank you, Bill. It's a wonderful studio to work for. Well, that's good to hear.

You want some more coffee?

Yeah, a little more, and then I'm going to have to run.

I don't know what's keeping Lucy.

Oh, here she is. Honey, I want you to meet William Holden.

Lucy?

How do you do, Mr. Holden? How do you do? You'll have to excuse my appearance.

just washed my hair, and I can't do a thing with it.

It's very exciting meeting you, Mr. Holden.

You're my favorite movie actor.

Thank you, Lucy.

I've seen you so many times, I feel that I know you.

You know, I have a funny feeling I know you, too.

Haven't we met somewhere?

Oh, no. No, that's impossible.

Yeah, I guess it is, but...

Something about you that's so familiar.

Oh. Especially around the eyes.

Here's your coffee.

Bill,

what's the last picture you made?

Well, we just finished shooting The Country Girl with Bing Crosby and Grace

Kelly. Oh, gee, that sounds wonderful. I hope I get to see it. Well, I hope if

you do see it, you enjoy it. Oh, well, I'm sure I will.

Would you like to watch it?

What was that?

I said, would you like to watch a shoot sometime?

Oh, could I?

Sure. Next time we have, you know, something interesting going on, I'll

arrangements and...

Anything

wrong, Mrs. Ricardo?

My nose itches.

makes your skin soft.

Ricky, do you know yet who your co -star will be?

No, no, I don't know. No, they haven't decided that yet.

All they told me was that there was supposed to be five very beautiful

I guess I might as well tell you.

I went to the Brown Derby today. That's it. That's where I told you.

The Brown Derby.

She was sitting in the next booth, and I asked the head waiter who the beautiful

redhead was.

You did?

Yes, I wanted to find out your name and come over and tell you that you should

be in movies, but you left before I had a chance.

close to a movie star before.

Yes, you have to forgive me, Mr. Holden. I... I... I kissed Bill Holden!
