And now, I love Lucy.

Hi.

Hi. Oh, Ethel, isn't that the greatest sight you've ever seen? Imagine having

elf right outside your window.

Oh, Lucy, it's all... so beautiful it leaves me absolutely speechless.

Yeah, why'd you have to louse it up, Lucy? That's the first time she's

talking since we've been married.

Fred, you haven't even looked out the window.

Haven't you any appreciation for beauty?

What are you doing, Ethel? Fishing for insults?

Oh, Fred, now come on. Isn't Switzerland the most breathtaking country you've

ever been in? Well, I'll admit the scenery around Steubenville, Ohio is not

pretty as it is here in Locarno.

Locarno? Yeah.

even know where you are. This is Lucerne.

Ethel, we're in Locarno. No, Fred, we're in Lucerne.

Now, don't tell me. After Paris, Ricky and the band were booked into Locarno.

It's right here on the schedule.

What does that say?

Lucerne.

Now, put your glasses on. You know you can't read without them.

And you're the one that sat on my glasses in Paris.

Lucy, does this really say Lucerne?

Yes, Fred.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

Well, what's the matter? We're in Lucerne.

Yeah, we're in Lucerne, but I sent the whole band to Locarno.

What? Fred, did you read that schedule without your glasses on? Yes, I read

schedule without my glasses on.

What are you going to do with it? If you sent the band to Locarno, why did you

buy us tickets for Lucerne?

I didn't. Ricky bought our tickets. I had a headache, and, oh, I'm getting out

of here. Why?

I'm not going to hang around here and explain this to Ricky.

Oh, forget it. me right in the nose. Oh, he will not punch you in the nose. Now,

listen, all the times Ricky's been mad at me, he never once struck me.

Well, you're bigger than I am. Oh.

Don't let that Latin temperament scare you. Ricky's bark is worse than his

Don't tell me he bites, too.

Now, Fred, you've got to tell him sometime.

Well, I'll tell him all right in a year or two. No, sir, you're going to go

right in there and tell him that. Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Ethel. We'll

help you, Fred.

We'll... go in there and we'll get ricky in a gay happy carefree mood and when

he's sort of off his guard we will laughingly let the bad news sneak in huh

all right but what a way to go come on

Whether gay and carefree.

Yeah, yeah. Lucerne certainly is everything everybody said it was going

information, please.

Have you got a train from Locarno to Lucerne?

All right. How long does it take?

Four hours?

I'm going to send a wire right away.

To the Ricky Ricardo band.

Where are they? I told them to meet us at the American Express office.

That was clever.

Hello. At the American Express office in Locarno. That's right.

Here's the message.

Mistaken booking.

Take the next train to Lucerne.

Signed, Ricky.

Right. Thank you very much.

Now you see how simple it is?

Everything's going to be all right, huh?

All right, you're not fired.

But that band better get here.

For heaven's sake, Ricky, you can't stay in this room all day worrying.

I can't help it. I'm nervous. If the band doesn't get here, I have to cancel

show.

Well, at least stop pacing.

When I'm nervous, I pace.

Well, do your pacing outside. Let's go climb a mountain or something.

I'm not in a climbing mountain mood.

Come in.

Rick, our troubles are over. What happened? What do you mean?

In case the band doesn't get here on time... Yeah? I lined up a local outfit

that'll play with you tonight, and they're right outside.

A local outfit? Yeah. Are you kidding? How can a Swiss band play Latin rumbas?

Well, they've been practicing for an hour. Oh, Chris.

Come on, honey. At least you can listen. He's right, Rick. They're musicians,

and music is the universal language.

They can play anything.

Well, all right, all right. Oh, goody, goody.

Come on in, fellas. Come on.

Hello. Couldn't talk.

Couldn't talk.

Couldn't talk.

All right, fellas, let's go to Russia.

Give them the beat, Rick.

One, two.

Try, I'm swine.

I'm swine? Ja.

La cucaracha.

No? No.

That is not la cucaracha.

Is it not a cucaracha?

Nein. That sounds more like the schnitzelbank. A schnitzelbank, yes.

Here they are. I'm getting out our hiking outfits.

We are going to climb a mountain.

I am not going to let you sit around here all day worrying.

Don't on me. I better hang around here. What for? You can't rehearse without the

band, and they can't possibly get here till tonight. Now, come on, honey. It'll

do you good.

Well, where's Fred and Apple?

They're out renting some outfits, and the hotel's packing us a great big fat

lunch. Now, come on. Hurry up and change.

Didn't you ever see Swiss mountain climbers before?

Oh, Fred, those are not mountain climbing outfits. You look like you came

a Swiss...

I'll say that outfit you're wearing is rented.

Oh, honey, look how thrilling.

Isn't it beautiful, honey?

I'm sure glad you talked me into coming.

I feel better already.

Look down there. Look how high up we are. Isn't it wonderful?

Hey, is anybody hungry?

Oh, I am. I'm starved. Me too. Listen, it looks like it might snow. You think

it'll be better if we go to that shelter that we pass on the way over here?

Wasn't that a lunch?

Gee, this high altitude sure gives me an appetite.

What's your excuse at sea level?

Boy, they certainly make man -sized sandwiches at that hotel, don't they?

Rick.

That lunch you packed away, I doubt if there's enough rope left to go around

you.

What's the matter with you?

Well, I thought one of those St. Bernards might be going by.

I could use a shot of brandy.

Will you stop that? Come in here and close the door.

All right.

For heaven's sake.

Now, don't make a sound.

What's the matter, honey?

All that snow hanging over our heads. A loud noise would cause an avalanche.

It's true. I read it in a book. And you remember that picture, Seven Brides for

Seven Brothers?

Yeah, that's right.

Somebody shot a pistol and it caused a great...

Big avalanche. Yeah.

Now, don't anybody move.

You don't have to stand around looking like statues.

Just act natural, you know.

Well, okay, but don't make any sharp noise. Not even a sneeze. Whatever you

don't sneeze.

Oh, Lucy, why did you have to say that? You know the power of suggestion. Now

we'll all have to sneeze. Oh, Ethel, just because I said don't sneeze, the

people suddenly go...

Be the dust.

We couldn't get out of there. There's no snow in front of it, too. No snow in

front of the window, too.

Well, how'd they get out in seven brides for seven brothers?

They waited for the spring thaw.

Oh, great.

Well, I wouldn't mind that if we had five more brides.

show to put on tonight.

How can you think about a stale show when we're all about to be turned into

human popsicles?

Well, don't pick on me. You were the one who slammed the door.

Yes, and you were also the one who sneezed. Yeah, and you were also the one

had the hot idea about going mountain climbing.

I'm sorry I blamed you.

Well, I'm sorry. I said your show was stale. I'm sorry.

Britt, I'm sorry I called you a dumb bunny.

I'm sorry you're so fat you broke my glasses.

I'm sorry.

Just a minute, everybody. Please, now.

We have to concentrate.

We have to use our brains.

Well, now, let me see.

You stay out of this.

See what we do. Just take that.

How long is it going to be?

I don't know, but there's nothing we can do about it.

You think anybody knows where we are?

Well, it must be the people at the inn when we come up here.

Well, they'll probably find us. How can they under all this snow?

Well, it may take days or even weeks.

Weeks? Yeah.

Oh, I can't go that long without food. I'm hungry already.

Me too.

Well, we haven't got any food.

Not even one little crumb?

No. You want it to be on top of the mountain? They said, we want to eat at

top of the world. So you ate at the top of the world. Now we got no food, so

forget about the food. Just forget it. We haven't got it.

It's kind of a tough thing to do, to forget about food.

Well, what are you going to do?

What was that?

What was what?

I didn't hear anything.

I didn't either.

Oh, fine.

Now I'm beginning to hear things.

Maybe it's the ice breaking, yeah.

No, that sounded more like paper rustling. Well, it's probably a mouse.

Yeah, a mouse.

The rescuers get here, they can tell how brave we were until the end.

Well, it is mine.

Of course it's you, honey. You have every right in the world to go ahead and

your sandwich. Even though we're standing here in front of your eyes,

to death.

I wouldn't believe the end would be like this. I'm too young to go.

So am I.

Oh, get a hold of yourself. Get a hold of yourselves.

Yep.

If this is it, and I've got to go, I want to go with a clear conscience.

Fred, I've got a confession to make to you.

Well, what is it, honeybunch?

You were 24.

While we're on the subject, I got a confession to make to you.

What's that, Frank? Well, Rick, I've been charging you $10 a month more rent

than anybody else in the building.

I got another confession to make.

that, honey?

I got another old sandwich in my knapsack.

Well, you know, now that I think about it, I do have a confession to make.

While you were taking a nap, we ate your sandwich.

Oh, what a dirty trick. We saved you a quarter, though. Oh, well, what's three

quarters of a sandwich between us and eternity?

That's true.

Shh.

I hear something.

What kind of something?

I hear music.

Some strange, far -off music.

Uh -oh.

Maybe we're closer to eternity than we think.

I hear it, too.

So do I.

Good. At least we're all going to the same place.

we have another chance.

We have been practicing all afternoon the Kakarusha.

and Desi Arnaz will be back next week.
