All language subtitles for I Love Lucy s06e02 little ricky learns

Thank you.

What do we say when someone gives us
something?

You know, Ricky, you remember what Daddy
always said when somebody gives him

something? Process!

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Don't do that at the table, dear.

Do that again, son.

Ricky! Just a minute.

Listen to that beat.

What? It's a wonderful beat. Listen to
the rhythm.

Hey!

Looks like he's going to be a drummer.

Well, he certainly is not. That's the
last thing in the world I want him to

What's so bad with being a drummer?

It's just not good enough for a son of
mine.

Well, he's good enough for a husband of
yours. Well, that's different.

How is it different?

He's my flesh and blood. You're just a
close relative.

Well, what do you want him to be?

Well, I don't know. I'd like to see
him...

Wouldn't you like to go in your room and
play, darling?

Okay, Mommy. All right, sweetheart. Take
your toast with you. Let me wipe off

your mouth a little bit.

There you are. Run along.

I'd like to see him get into a dignified
profession.

I'd like to see him be a doctor.

A doctor? Mm -hmm.

Well, that's fine, honey.

Being a doctor is great, but I just
thought that he should be a drummer

he's short of ability.

You heard him.

That's natural talent. Oh, natural
talent, my foot. He's trying to get the

oatmeal off his spoon.

He was not.

He was too.

I don't care. I think he should be a
doctor.

Well, I think he should be a drummer.

A doctor.

A drummer.

Doctor. Drummer. Drummer.

Doctor. Ah, fine, you agree. He's going
to be a doctor.

You tricked me. I did not.

He's going to be a doctor and that's
that. Well, that is not that at all.

it is now, Ricky, just because I want...
No, I'm fine. I don't want... We'll

just see. Oh, dear,

they're having a fight.

We'll see you later.

They're not having a fight. Come on back
here. It's just that I write and he's

too stubborn to admit it. It's not bad
at all.

No, just because you want the kid to be
a doctor...

Would you stop not fighting for just a
minute?

Lucy, I came over to see if I could
borrow your black fox stole to wear at

theater Saturday night. Sure, honey.
It's in the living room closet. Oh,

you.

Oh, Fred, I got the theater tickets.

Oh. Here's your pair.

Oh, thank you, Rick. It was mighty nice
of you to invite us. That's all right.

What's the matter with you?

For a minute, I thought you were being
strangled by a giant caterpillar.

Oh. Lucy, this is a beautiful stove.
Thank you. Come on, Fred.

You can go back to not fighting now. We
weren't fighting. We were just trying to

decide what little Ricky should be when
he grows up.

Hey, why don't we ask them? After all,
they're his godparents.

All right. What do you think he should
be?

A wealthy, distinguished doctor or a
crummy, out -of -work drummer?

Well, thanks for putting it so
impartially.

Oh, that's all right.

Uh, why don't you let him decide for
himself?

Yeah. Who never thought of that?

What about it?

We'll let him decide for himself.

Okay.

And neither one of us will try to
influence him.

No, neither one of us will try to
influence him. We will let him decide

himself. Yeah, we'll let him decide for
himself. All right.

Hey, Fred, did they deliver a package
here for me? Yeah, I was just going to

take it over to your apartment.

Oh, well, I don't want you to do that.

I want you to keep it here for a while.
But what are you doing, surprising Lucy

with a new hat?

Well, uh, it's not exactly a new hat,
no. It's a sort of a drum.

How can it be a sort of a drum?

It's either a drum or it isn't.

Well, it is. That's what it is. It's a
drum, all right.

Now, Fred, I know what you're thinking.

But look at it this way.

I just want to have it there in case the
child decides that he wants to play the

drum someday. That's all, just to be
prepared, you know.

Well, you should have heard or seen the
other day at the breakfast table. He got

the thing and he go, ding, ding, top.

Oh, the boy has a tremendous amount of
talent, really.

Stop hamming and hawing. I'm not Lucy.

Well, then, will you keep it here until
the time is ripe? Sure, I'll keep it.

Thanks a lot.

playing doctor, huh?

Little Ricky, you better get out of that
outfit, dear. You know, we want to

surprise Daddy, and he's going to be
home any... Oh, dear.

Yes, oh, dear.

I thought we weren't going to try to
influence him.

I thought we were going to let him
decide for himself.

Yes, now, we did say that, and he did
decide for himself.

This afternoon, we just happened to be
in a toy store, and he took me by the

hand and dragged me over to the counter
and pointed to the little doctor's kit.

He dragged you.

Daddy,

are you sick?

Yes, everything's fine, yeah.

They got your tongue in there.

There, you see, the natural -born
doctor.

Come on.

Now,

Ricky. Of all the law tricks influencing
behind my back.

Oh, shame.

Well, he will make a good doctor. Ricky.
This package is for you, but it came

over... Give me that package.

What is it? Let me see it. Nothing
there. Well, what is it? Nothing at all.

it something for me? For me? I guess
I'll throw it to me, honey. Is it for

Is it?

Well, it was supposed to be a surprise
there. Oh, really?

Believe in doing my Easter shopping
early, you know that.

Hat from Shermer's Music Company?

Oh -ho!

From Shermer's Music Company, huh?

Well,

well, well. Oh, has a very good tone for
a hat.

Yes, very well now.

I'm just going to be the grandest lady
in the Easter parade.

anybody must have taken the... Uh -oh.

Well... Leave it to you, Miss United
Parcel. I don't know.

Come on, let's get out of the combat
zone.

Well, I guess the shame is on the other
foot. Well, you did it too.

I don't care. This drum goes back first
thing in the morning. All right. So does

that junior Dr.

Kildare kid.

Okay, scratch.

Okay. All right. All right, sir.

Honey, honey, let me take that now,
darling. He has to go back to the store

the morning. No, Mommy.

Now, come on, give it to Mother. Come
on. I'm going to play the drums. Oh,

honey, wouldn't you rather play with
your little doctor's kit?

a pretty good beat.

Wow,

what are you doing up so early?

Well, little Ricky has a great beat, but
he's not too good for sleeping.

No. What time is it?

7 .30.

7 .30?

Yeah, yeah. You must be a sound sleeper.
He's been playing for the last hour.

He's been playing for the last four
days.

Did I ask him to stop, honey? No, no,
no, no, no. If he wants to play, we

let him play.

Yeah, that's the way I feel about it.

I said, oh, we don't want to inhibit
him.

What?

We don't want to inhibit.

Let me get you some breakfast, honey.

but your ears get hotter than blazes.

Oh, we gotta do something about this.
You bet your boots we do.

Let's go over there and ask them if
they'd mind restricting little Ricky's

playing for just an hour or two a day.

An hour or two? How about a minute or
two?

Now, Fred, none of that, none of that.
If we go over there, you gotta be

what you say.

Parents get awful touchy when you're
talking about their children.

I'm sure that if we're nice, and
diplomatic.

They'll be reasonable.

Let's go.

You know something?

Maybe he should be a doctor when he
grows up.

I just can't stand it anymore. Neither
can I. He's just going to have to cut

down on his practicing, that's all.
Okay.

Hi, fellas. Oh, hi.

Listen, I'm awfully sorry about the
noise.

Noise? What noise?

Little Ricky's drumming.

Oh, that.

Well, we never noticed it, right, Ethel?
Right.

My, he certainly loves to play.

My, we certainly love to listen.

He has such a nice, steady beat.

Yeah, steady.

We're glad it didn't bother you.

Yeah, me too.

Bother us? Oh, don't be silly.

Well, now that you brought it up, we
thought it might not be a bad idea if

cut down a little.

Just a bit.

Just to give his little hands a rest.

Yeah, we're only thinking of the child.

Well, we were thinking of asking him to
just... What's that?

He stopped.

What a relief. I thought he'd never
quit.

What did you say?

Oh, nothing.

He's just amazed at the child's stamina.

He didn't think anybody could keep up
that racket for four whole days.

That is not a very nice word to use
about my son's playing.

We were under the impression that it was
rhythm and music.

Well, rhythm it might be. Music it
ain't.

How would you know? You got a thin ear.

Is that so?

Yeah, that's so. Why don't you go ahead
and say it? Go ahead. Come right out and

say it. Say you can't stand Little
Ricky's drumming. All right.

We can't stand Little Ricky's drumming.

How dare you say a thing like that?
Because it's true.

Oh. Come on, Fred, let's get out of here
before that pounding starts again.

Oh, what's the use? It's just the same
over in our place.

Well, don't blame that on little Ricky.
Blame it on your cheap, thin walls.

Yeah. As the owner of these cheap, thin
walls, I might have you evicted for

disturbing the peace.

You wouldn't. Oh, wouldn't we?

How'd you go unless you put a muffler on
that baby bongo beater?

Just a minute.

Just a cotton -picking minute.

anybody. I got a piece of paper here.

Two years ago, we wanted to move. You
were so crazy about us as tenants that

gave us a 99 -year lease.

Yeah. That means for 97 more years,
little Ricky can play the drum. Yeah.

Go ahead and play, son.

Oh, Fred, let's get out of this boiler
factory.

Well, first...

I'm friends.

How did we ever choose them to be our
son's guts? I don't know.

Maybe we can turn them in and get two
new ones.

Shit.

Here are your theater tickets.

I'm afraid we've made other plans.

And here is your moth -eaten furs.

Moth -eaten? I've trapped better looking
things than that.

Watch on that lease.

Landlords have a way of getting rid of
undesirable tenants.

You said it. Yeah, what'd we say?

It's very hard to translate, but take my
word for it, it fits.

Good.

Yes, Mrs. Trumbull, we're leaving for
the theater at 7 .30.

Well, the baby's already had his dinner,
so if you just... You just come up any

time you want.

Okay? Okay, dear.

All right.

Oh, hi.

How did everything go today?

Fine, fine.

Uh, Mr. Merz didn't pull any monkey
business. Haven't even seen him. I knew

was just bluffing.

Well, if we're going to go to the
theater, I better go get cleaned up. All

right, honey. Dinner's almost ready. I
have a delicious roast chicken in the

oven. Good.

I'll just take a quick shave and a
shower. All right, hurry up, huh? Right.

Honey?

What? Something is wrong with the
electricity. My shaver isn't working.

Something's wrong with the gas. My
chicken isn't working either.

What happened? I don't know. It's been
in for two hours.

Funny, the gas and electricity would go
on the fritz at the same time.

Oh, no.

What? I'll bet this is the work of
Freddy the Fritzer.

Oh, he won't go that far.

Well, we'll just see.

We'll just call the gentleman and find
out.

Hello? Mr. Merck, this is your tenant,
Mrs. Ricardo.

The gas and electricity are off. Now, I
know you're mean and sneaky, but you

wouldn't stoop that low, now would you?

Is that mean and sneaky?

I'm going to go over there and punch him
right in the nose. No, now, honey,

that's just what he wants you to do. He
wants to pick a fight so he can ask us

to leave.

Well, what are we going to do?

Now, wait a minute.

The first thing in the morning, I'll
call the Board of Health and report him.

That'll fix him. Yeah, that's a good
idea.

How do you like that gun? Listen, we'll
grab a bite to eat downtown.

All right, dear. What am I going to do
about shaving? Oh, you don't need to

shave. You look wonderful.

I'll just take a quick shower. Okay.

How do you ever forget that?

Hey, honey, I just thought of something.

What are we going to do when Mrs.
Trumbull comes over tonight?

She can't sit here in the dark all night
long.

Honey, there's an emergency valve in the
back porch. Go turn it back on. Honey,

I can't. I can't see.

I can't open my eyes. I'll get soap in
them.

Oh, all right. I'll go get it. I'm
sorry, dear. All right. I'll get it.

Oh. Oh.

Hurry up, honey.

Oh.

Oh. Yes.

Oh, hurry up, honey.

Yes. I'm getting soap in my eyes.

and we've only begun to fight. You got
an idea?

Follow me.

Okay.

Right here.

Here, you take this.

What are we going to do?

They want to be nasty, we'll give them
something to be nasty about.

Oh, a little drum concert, eh? Yes,
we're going to play a little well -known

Latin American tune called Nerds to the
Mertz Mambo.

Let them hear it, boy.

Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.

They're probably having dinner. Let's...
Play the serenade from the kitchen. Oh,

that's a good idea, yeah.

That way they won't miss a single
glorious beat.

What are you doing? Just a little added
sound effects.

I'll have to use that telephone to call
the hospital.

Come on, what happened? Where's the
baby?

I came up to sit with him. He's not in
his room. Are you sure? He's not in his

room. Did you look every place?

Did you look in all the closets?

Oh, the baby. Little Ricky.

Oh, little Ricky. No, he isn't in there.

No. Well, he isn't in there. The door
was open when I came in. The door was

open. He might be outside.

I'll go get him. I'll get my coat.

Operator!

Operator!

Operator! The police!

Give me the police!

Lucy, where do you suppose he went? How
do I know? He's wandering around

outside. Wait, wait, wait. Easy,
everybody.

Everything is all right. Did you find
him?

Follow me. Never mind, operator.

Poor little thing, he couldn't stand all
that noise.

The next time we fight, we'll fight more
quietly.

We're not going to have any more fights,
Ethel. It was all our fault.

No, no, Fred, it was our fault.

We promise you from now on he won't play
the drums so much.

You let him play the drums as much as he
wants to.

You can do half of his practicing right
here in our place.

Fred.

What's the matter, Ethel?

We're only going to be here for 97
years.

I Love Lucy is a Desilu production.

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