And now, I Love Lucy.

Boy, these English people are sure friendly.

What a party.

I'm glad you had a good time.

Did you? If you ask me, the English people are a little too friendly.

Especially that drooling debutante you danced with all night.

All night?

How many times did I dance with her? I'm sure I didn't count.

Three times.

Five.

Three times.

You danced with her three times. You intermissioned her twice.

Now, it is very flattering of you to be jealous, but I didn't ask her to dance.

She asked me.

Can't you say no?

Of course not. It's not polite.

Don't forget what gets here in London.

You better learn how to be rude before we get to Paris.

Ah, honey, that girl is just a fan.

She saw my last performance at the Palladium.

I have to be nice to my public. Oh, sure, you're pretty young public.

You weren't being very nice to all those ugly old publics sitting around.

Angela Randall is just a nice stage -struck girl.

Aha!

Uh -huh, what? You know her name.

Of course I know her name. Yeah, well.

So what's wrong with asking her name?

The first time you danced with me, you asked me my name. And look what

Well, everybody makes a mistake once in a while. What?

Honey, I danced with a girl.

Three times.

I'll probably never see her again. You don't have to start an international

incident. I'll start over what I want with an international incident. I can do

what I want about it. You woke up everybody in the hotel already. I don't

who I woke up. Hello.

Yes, speaking.

Who?

Oh.

Oh, yes.

Yes, sir. I have certainly heard of you, sir.

Well, I'd be delighted to.

Tomorrow morning?

Wonderful.

Goodbye.

Who was that?

That was Sir Clive Richardson.

The Sir Clive Richardson?

Yeah, he once talked to me about a picture deal.

Oh, for heaven's sake, you know, there's a whole layout of him on the London

Times today. Really?

On his country estate. It's called Berkshire Manor. See, that's Sir Clive

there on its horse.

Sir Clive Richardson, well -known cinema producer, is pictured above just after

Riding to Hounds.

Riding to Hounds? What's that?

Oh, honestly, Ricky, don't they do anything in Cuba?

That's what they call fox hunting.

Oh, oh.

Oh, gee, what I wouldn't give if Sir Clive would invite us to his country

for the weekend.

Ricky, you've just got to get us an invitation.

I don't got to do nothing. I haven't even met the man.

Oh, but it would be so easy. He'll be right here. All you have to do is ask

Oh, honey, don't be ridiculous. I couldn't do a thing like that.

Well, I could.

Lucy, you don't want to be a moocher, do you?

Just call me Minnie.

Now, look, I forbid you to ask him. Oh, I won't come right out and ask him. I'll

just hint around, you know.

Nothing doing. Just forget it.

But, honey, it's such a big estate. 300 acres. They wouldn't even know we were

there. Now, Lucy, American tourists have a reputation for being pushy. And I

don't want you to add to that reputation.

Oh.

Now, listen, promise me.

No hinting, no word, no nothing.

Oh. Promise?

All right, I promise.

Don't be so pushy.

Is the coast clear? Yeah, Ricky's getting dressed. He's been trying to get

of me all morning. I'll bet.

Did you get it? I did.

Right size? I know your size.

Now, you know the plan. Yes. We telephone you at exactly 11 .30. Right.

What's the matter with you?

How come we always get sucked into Lucy's wild schemes?

Because we're a couple of schnooks, that's why.

Okay, I just wanted to know.

Lucy? Yeah?

Uh, honey, do you think you could get us invited for the weekend, too? No. Now,

Ethel, I can only wangle for two.

Well, as long as you're wangling for two, it wouldn't be... No, no, honey.

is just right. Four would be over -wangling.

Oh, hi, Rick. Hi, Rick. Hi. Uh, we just, uh, dropped in to say goodbye. We're

going someplace.

Good. I was expecting a guest. Why don't you take Lucy with you?

Oh, I've already been there.

Well, why don't you go again, dear?

Well, I didn't like it the first time.

What didn't you like the first time?

Wherever they're going.

No, she didn't like it. No, I didn't. No, she didn't.

Well, goodbye, Rick.

We'll see you later.

Sorry. We'll talk to you later. Okay. Come on. Bye. Bye.

Lucy,

why don't you go shopping or, you know, go sightseeing? Take a bus right here.

Spend some money. Go ahead.

You wouldn't by any chance be trying to get rid of me, would you?

Who, me?

Mr.

Clive is coming over, and there'll be a lot of boring talk, you know. Well, I

have to be very fond of boring talk. It's one of my hobbies.

I took it in high school. Boring talk, 1A.

Yes?

Mr. Clive?

Oh, ask him to come out, please. Thank you.

Lucy. Hmm?

Remember your promise.

No hinting about a weekend invitation.

I won't say a word.

Mr.

McCullough? Mr. Coif, how are you, sir? I'm very glad to see you. May I help you

with your coat? Thanks, Mr. McCullough. Yes, sir. Come right in, please.

Oh. Oh, Sir Clive, this is my wife, Lucy. Good night. Oh, it is indeed an

to meet you, Sir Clive, sir. Oh, no, sir, no, sir. Will you be seated? Thank

you, thank you, thank you.

Sir Clive, you know, I want to tell you something. Last night when you called

me, after you revealed you the identity, I was completely flabbergasted. You

could have knocked me over with a feather.

I beg your pardon?

Oh, Ricky said last night when you called and revealed your identity, he

completely flabbergasted. You could have knocked him over with a feather.

He was that surprised.

Oh, oh, quite, yes.

Yes, I must explain that call.

My daughter's idea, you know.

She's quite a fan of yours. She thinks you'd be absolutely smashing in a

cinema. Oh, yeah.

Oh.

Oh, Mr. Clyde said that he wanted to explain about the call. It was his

daughter's idea.

She's a fan of yours, and she thinks you'd be a big hit in British movies.

Oh.

He says, oh.

Oh. He says, oh.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I know you both have scads of things to talk about,

so I'll see you a little later, perhaps.

Very good, yes.

Mr. Ricardo, my daughter tells me that you just recently finished a cinema in

America.

A cinema in America?

Yes. She just completed one.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. I just completed a cinema in America.

I beg your pardon.

I beg your pardon.

What you just said. I did it.

So

that

after we finish this European tour, I don't have any other engagements.

Splendid. Splendid.

Say, I must be doing better. I must be talking a lot better. You understood the

last two things I said.

I say.

What? You know, I must be improving, too.

You understood me.

Yes.

Well, you know, just give us a little time. We'll get along fine.

I'm sure we will. Yes, indeed.

Tally -ho.

Lucy, what's that?

What's what?

That.

This is my new outfit for the weekend.

Charming. Thank you, Sir Clive. But we are not going anyplace for the weekend.

Oh, didn't I tell you?

Tell me what?

Well, you know, my fondest dream has always been to spend a weekend in one of

those fabulous English country estates.

Well, my dream has finally come true. The Earl has invited us.

The Earl?

What Earl?

Didn't I tell you?

It seems to be a lot of things that you didn't tell me.

Well, Fred and Ethel, they're our friends, the Mertzes, met this Earl in

lobby. The Mertzes met an Earl in the lobby?

Yes. And one thing led to another. Before they knew it, the Earl had

to his country estate for a ripping weekend of riding and shooting, just

do at home. Oh.

I see.

Which Earl is it?

I mean, what's the chap's name?

How was that again?

He wants to know the Earl's name. I heard him.

Well, what is his name?

You know, I know most of the fellas down there.

Earl of Gloucester.

Earl of Twickenham.

Earl of Chichester.

No, no, I think it's the Earl of Wilson.

Yes,

he's a new one. He's just been promoted from assistant Earl.

You know, country down there, simply crawling with earls, isn't it? Yes,

it?

By the way, evidently, you must be quite a horsewoman, Mrs... Oh, how quite.

Oh, what a shame. If I'd only known, you could have come down to my place for

the weekend.

Oh, well, that's very sweet of you, Sir Clyde, but thanks just the same.

I'll get it. I'll get it, dear. I'll get it.

Oh, you don't say.

Oh. Oh, well, give him my best.

Another time?

Well, I'm afraid that would be impossible. You see, we're leaving the

It's quite all right. Goodbye.

Dress the luck.

The earls got the gout and had to cancel our weekend invitation.

My dream bubble has burst.

Well, now, perhaps not.

What do you mean, Sir Clyde?

Oh, you're perfectly free to come to my place for the weekend. Oh, no, no, Sir

Clyde. Oh, no, no. We wouldn't think of barging in. My goodness. Not at all, I

insist. And bring your friends, too.

Four strangers dropping in on you for the weekend. A glorious weekend where I

would have the most memorable experience of my life.

I wouldn't hear of it. Oh, no trouble at all. No trouble. No, no. It's too

pushy. Oh, well, of course, if you feel like it, I mean, I... If you

insist. Good show.

You'll have the most ripping weekend.

Oh, righto.

And by the way, we can talk business down there, too, you know. Oh, yes, sir,

yes. That'll be fine. Thank you.

I'll get it, dear.

Hello?

Yes, Sir Clive is here.

Oh, by all means, send her up.

Your daughter is here.

Oh, yes, yes. I asked you to pick me up here. We are lunching together.

Oh. Oh, well, if you'll excuse me, then I'll be right back.

Charming woman, your wife.

Your wife, I'm very anxious to meet your daughter. You said she's a fan of mine?

But you have already met her. You danced with her last night.

Richardson? No, no. Angela doesn't use her family name.

She's an actress, you know.

Uses stage name.

Randall.

Your daughter is Angela Randall?

Brother?

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.

I beg your pardon?

Oh, oh, uh, uh, that's an American expression.

It means blimey.

Oh!

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, blimey.

I thought she must be here.

Hello, Angela.

Hello, Mickey.

Hello, Father.

Hello,

I believe we met last night.

Uh, she's your daughter?

Yes, Angela Randall is her stage name. I just found out. Isn't that funny?

Hilarious.

Father, did you have your little business talk with Ricky?

Well, only partly.

Yeah, we didn't get quite to finish, but it's all right, because your father has

asked us over to your place for the weekend.

Oh, yes, but unfortunately, we will not be able to accept.

Oh, but you accepted just now, you know. Yes, but dash it all, I just

remembered. We're scheduled to go to the cricket matches this weekend.

At this time of year, cricket's out of season.

Well, these are young crickets.

is a Clive. We'll be there. Oh, marvellous, Ricky. It'll be such fun.

just ripping.

Come along, Father. Yes, thank you. Goodbye.

It'll be fun to have you down the country. Well, I'd love to. Well,

I'll be seeing you all on Saturday.

Bye. Goodbye.

Cheerio.

going. I will want to burst your dream bubble. My dream did not include a

-out blonde named Angela Randall. You knew she was Sir Clive's daughter all

along. I did not know any such thing. I didn't know anything, but you accepted

and we're going.

You open your big mouth and you put your foot in it.

Yeah,

I think he's out with Angela someplace.

I know that, but where are they this time?

I think she's showing him the rock garden.

Yesterday it was the rose garden. This morning it was the stable, then the

arbor. What's she doing, auditioning him for caretaker?

Oh, honey, you're making too much out of this. Well, how long does it take to

look at a rock garden? What are they doing, prospecting for uranium?

Lucy, you're being silly. Tell me about this. Listen, if she was monopolizing

Fred and you never got to see him, what would you say?

I'd say, jolly good show, Angela Old Bean. Have at it.

You would not. I'll tell you one thing. I'm not letting them out of my sight

again. Oh, Lucy.

Oh, there you are, Lucy. We looked all over for you. We wanted you to see the

rock garden with us.

Sure you did.

Hello, stranger.

I didn't realize it, but... I guess I've been monopolizing Ricky ever since he

got here. What must you think?

Did you really like to know?

Oh, it must be time for tea.

I just famished. Where are Sir Clive and Fred?

Oh, they're down by the stable. Well, now let's all go down there and get

huh? Ricky, be a dear and show her the way. I've been wanting to chat with

All right.

Lucy, dear.

Yes, Angela?

My dearest friend, Cecily Higgins, is having a lawn party tomorrow.

And I was wondering, might I borrow Ricky?

Well, yes, you might borrow him, if I could go along as collateral.

Well, that's kind of embarrassing.

You see, Father's car is in the shop, and all we have is my little sports

runabout. And it only seats two.

Oh. Well, maybe you could strap me on the fender like a deer.

Oh, now, Lucy, you aren't going to get into a stew, are you? You could feed the

whole British army on the stew I'm going to get into.

But I promised Cecily I'd be there. She's always managing to get celebrities

her country estate, and I just want to take Ricky down there to show him off.

He's a prize.

Yes, well, that prize belongs in my box of Cracker Jack.

Dear. Well, come on.

Here they are. I found them down at the stable.

And to them, my dear, I've had a perfectly new topping idea.

In honor of our American guests, I've arranged for a fox hunt tomorrow.

Oh, wonderful, Father. How about it, Ricky?

Fine, I'll have to. Will you join us, Lucy?

You just know I will.

Splendid. But, of course, you won't be able to go, Angela. You promised to go

Cecily's party tomorrow.

Oh, silly me.

Cecily's party is the day after tomorrow.

Oh, I can't go to the fox hunt.

Oh, well, friend, that's all settled. Now, how about a spot of tea? Yes, let's

all go have some tea. I'll enjoy that. All right.

All right.

Thank you. Lucy, why did you say you'd go on a fox hunt? You've never been on a

horse in your life.

Well, I don't care. I'm not letting them out of my sight. The fox isn't the only

thing she's hunting.

Lucy, what's the matter with you?

I'm scared.

Well, I should thank you, would we, if you've never been on a horse before?

I don't want the horse to hear that.

Lucy, this is dangerous.

Not half as dangerous as leaving Ricky and Angela alone all afternoon.

Does Ricky know you've never been on a horse before? No, I told him I rode a

in Girl Scout camp.

You needn't be afraid, Mom.

Well, Danny Boy is the gentlest horse in the stable.

He looks kind of ferocious to me.

Well,

haven't you got maybe a smaller horse?

No, ma 'am. Have you got a large lamb?

You better get started, ma 'am.

Yeah, well, how do you get on this animal?

Well, just come right around this side.

Now then, put your left foot up in the stirrup.

That's the stirrup.

Yeah.

There she goes.

There you go.

Again, honey.

Honey!

All right, I'll... Fred will help you. I'll help you. He'll help you now.

Now, wait a minute. Let's get all together, huh, fellas?

You just don't know your own strength. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'll be able to make it.

Shall we try this slippery beast again?

Here we are.

Up you go.

I have to give a big... I'd

like

to oblige, Mom, that I'm a... rotten jumper.

I'm sorry.

Come on now, honey. You'll make it this time. Shall we have another go at it?

Here she goes. Here she goes.

They actually look like Johnny Longdon sitting up there.

They're off and running.

Lucy,

how do you steer this thing?

You steer him with the reins, Mum. You pull on the left rein to go left and on

the right rein to go right. Yeah, well, where are the brakes?

You just pull back on the reins, Mum, like that. Lucy, if you didn't know how

steer, how did you get back here?

Daddy boy always comes back to the stable if you let him have his head,

comes straight in the back way every time.

I gotta go. Oh, you gotta go.

Hang on, now.

Hang on, Lucy.

Hang on. Hang on tight.

How's she doing, Fred? Well, I can't find her. You can't find her? I can't

her. She's disappeared. She's disappeared? Is there a horse without a

Is there a rider without a horse? No. Oh, let me look, Fred.

Don't tear my head off. All right.

I don't know.

How did you ever do that?

Well, believe me, it wasn't easy.

By the way, I can't understand what happened to that fox.

Neither can I. Oh, he must have run to the ground.

That's all.

Hi. Hi.

Isn't Lucy with you?

No, what's the matter?

Well, she didn't come back, but her horse came back quite some time ago.

Yeah, and he was all covered with brambles. The groom's out looking for

Well, let's go get a horse and look for her. Well, now, wait a minute. That

might not be necessary.

Look.

Lucy, are you in there?

Yeah.

I don't know what you see in this fox hunting. Get me out of here.

How do you get in there?

I don't know, but get me out.

How?

There's some clippers inside here. Good. It's kind of spooky in here. I have a

feeling I'm not alone.

I Love Lucy is a Desilu production.

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz will be back next week at this same time.
