Lucy?

Oh, good morning, dear.

Good morning.

Lucy, what are you doing?

Lucy?

Pardon me, dear.

A refrigerator,
a deep freeze

and a chrome dinette set.

- Hi, Rick.
- Hi, Fred.

Where're you going?

I want to find out
what's going on with her.

She keeps running out
into the back porch,

and then she comes in here

and talks to somebody
on the phone.

Well, I'll tell you
what's going on.

- What?
- Some new tenants are moving in.

Oh, who's she talking to
on the phone?

Ethel. There's two
moving vans down there,

one in front
and one in back.

She's hanging out
the living room window

with our phone in her hand.

Ethel's the advance scout
and Lucy's covering the rear.

Oh, those two characters.

Yeah. Nothing gets by
the snoopers' patrol.

Could I have a bite
of breakfast with you?

Ethel's too busy
to make mine.

Sure.

Sit down, Fred.
Help yourself.

- Thank you.
-

An automatic washer
and an automatic dryer.

A fox stole
and a full-length mink coat?

How do you know it's mink?

Has a Saks label in it, huh?

Ethel must be using
my binoculars.

Uh-huh. A green couch
and a modern desk.

Got it. Over and out.

- Lucy.
- What?

Don't you think you're
being a little nosy?

Can I help it
if the moving men

happen to be bringing
something in

while I just happen to be
on the back porch?

Besides, a little
friendly inventory

never hurt anyone.

Now, what are
you gonna do?

Don't fight it.

Nosiness is just part
of a woman's charm

like hanging stockings
in the bathroom and nagging.

[Ethel] Lucy!

There's the other one.

- [Ethel] Lucy!
- [Lucy] Yeah?

That does it. They're all
moved in in front.

Yeah, they're finished
out here, too.

Oh! If I could just have
seen that mink coat.

- It was just gorgeous.
- Was it?

What do you suppose was
in all those big boxes?

I don't know. Isn't it sneaky of them

bringing things in in closed boxes,
so we can't see what's in them?

I'll say it is.

- Honest to goodness...
- Lucy?

What?

How do you feel?

Fine.

Are you all right, Ethel?

Sure. Why?

Fred, I'd like to report to you

that contrary to what
you've always been told,

curiosity does not kill a cat.

Oh, you think
you're so smart.

What else do you know
about them, Ethel?

All I know is that
their name is Johnson.

I didn't get a chance
to ask her anything else.

Well, let's go up and
give her the third degree.

I mean, pay her a visit.

You know, if I didn't
live here already,

I sure wouldn't move in.

I wonder who that is.

Pardon me, could you tell me
where I could find Mrs. Mertz?

She isn't in her apartment.

Yeah, she's here.
Won't you come in?

Oh, thank you very much.

I'm Mrs. Johnson,
the new tenant.

Oh, Mrs. Johnson!

Oh, come over
and sit down, dear.

Why, thank you.

I hate to bother you all,

but I just wondered
if Mrs. Mertz

had an extra set of keys
for our apartment.

Yeah, yeah, I'll get her,
I'll get her.

- Ethel, she's here.
- Who?

I got her right in there,
Mrs. Johnson.

- Mrs. Johnson?
- Yeah, come on.

- Lucy!
- What?

What are you gonna
do, grill her?

Like a cheese sandwich.

Come on, Rick,
we'd better watch this.

Oh, hello, Mrs. Johnson.

I'm glad to see you.

I'd like for you
to meet Mr. Ricardo.

And this is my husband,
Mr. Mertz.

How do you do?

Charmed, I'm sure.

Mrs. Mertz, honey,

could you let me
in my apartment?

I'm such a cotton-headed ninny,
I locked myself out.

Why certainly, dear.

Fred, go get the other key
to Mrs. Johnson's apartment.

I've got a key right here
in my pocket.

The one that's
in our apartment.

- All right.
- And don't hurry.

This will give
us a chance

to get acquainted
with Mrs. Johnson.

Yes, Mrs. Johnson,

if you're going to live here,
we should know all about you.

Now, we'll tell you
all about us,

and you tell us
all about you.

I'll go first.
What does your husband do?

Why, he's in oil.

Hair, suntan,
cod liver or castor?

Oh, heavens.

We don't mess
with any of them in Texas.

He's got oil wells.

- Oil wells?
- Oil wells?

Well, just a couple
of those little bitty ones.

Well, uh, those little bitty
ones, they do pump oil?

Well, not as much
as you're pumping her, dear.

Mrs. Johnson, I-I-I must
apologize for my wife.

Apologize? Oh ...

Why, we in Texas,
just call that being neighborly.

Oh, yeah.

Nancy? Nancy?
Where are you?

Oh, I'm in here, Sam.

Oh, there you are, my!

Pardon me, folks,

I-I don't mean
to-to barge in.

That's all right.

Sam, I want you to meet
the nicest people.

This is Mrs. Mertz.

- How do you do?
- How do you do, Mr. Johnson?

And this is Mrs. Ricardo.

- How are you, ma'am?
- How do you do, Mr. Johnson?

And Mr. Ricardo.

- How are you, sir?
- How do you do?

And this is
Mr. Mertz.

- It's my pleasure, sir.
- How are you, sir?

Mr. Johnson, your wife tells us

that you dabble in oil wells.

Now, Nancy, honey,

I told you not
to go around

telling people that.

It's not that I'm ashamed of it,

but it's just that everybody's
always pestering me

to-to buy into my new well.

Well, I can certainly
understand that, Mr. Johnson.

Yeah, I guess
everybody

likes to get in on a
sure thing like that.

Oh, uh-huh.

But I don't like
to-to build up

all those nice
people's hope

and then have to
disappoint them.

You see, I only have
a few shares left.

Oh?

I wouldn't be selling any shares

only, well, doggone it,
I like people.

And as long as we had to go
extra deep for this gusher,

I says to myself,
"Sam, why don't you give

somebody else a chance
to be rich, too?"

Well, come on,
Nancy, honey.

We've got to
start unpacking.

- Here's your key, Mrs. Johnson.
- Oh, thank you.

You're very nice people.

Nice meeting you.

- Good-bye.
- Bye, sir.

Good-bye.

He's got shares to sell.

Wait a minute,
everybody!

Now, just hold it a minute, everybody.

Let's not get excited over nothing.

Nothing? Mr. Johnson

has shares to sell
in his oil well.

- So?
- So get your checkbook!

Are you crazy or something?

Do you think that
I'm gonna buy oil stock

from a perfectly stranger?

Oh, now listen, he looks honest.

I can tell.

He has a kind face
and nice eyes.

He's got a kind face
and nice eyes.

- Yeah.
- Well, he has.

Look, if he's a millionaire,
what is he doing living in this dump?

- Dump?!
- Dump?!

Yeah, to a millionaire,
this is a dump.

I accept that.

What's he doing
living here?

He already told us
why he's living here.

If he lived in a fancy hotel,
people would pester him.

Nobody'd think of
looking for him here.

Look, honey,
I don't care what you say.

I don't want any part
of any oil stock.

Oh!

Tough luck, Lucy.

Fred, this is our
one big chance.

What are you going
to do about it?

Are you going to be
a dumb bunny, too?

Uh, what's up, Doc?

- Oh...
- Oh ...

Let's face it, Ethel.

This is our one chance
to move on easy street

and we're married to
a couple of roadblocks.

- Now Ricky, listen!
- Now listen, Fred!

Where have you been?

Oh, eh, out getting a paper.

Oh.

- Ricky?
- Yeah?

About that oil well ...

Oh, no. I thought
we dropped the subject.

Well, I'm picking it up again.

Listen, I've been thinking...

maybe that oil stock

wouldn't cost us
as much as we think.

Now, look, you could
take our savings,

then I'll pay you
back out of the money

that I save out of
my household account.

Lucy, with the money you save
out of your household account,

we couldn't buy enough oil
for a salad.

Oh...

Are you gonna sit there and
let this opportunity slip by?

Do you think
I like being poor?

Do you think I like living
in this little apartment

doing my own housework?

Washing and ironing and cleaning
and sweeping and cooking.

♪ La de da da.... ♪

I wouldn't mind
if you couldn't help it,

but when I think how
you're throwing away

the one chance in our lives
to become millionaires...

♪ La de.... ♪

Well, I don't care.

I think this is
a good opportunity.

Now, look, the subject
is closed.

I don't want to hear
another word.

The man doesn't have
any more stock to sell

and that's the end of it.

Why I can't make you see

that just maybe...

How do you know he doesn't have
any more stock to sell?

Oh, yeah, well, uh ...

I-I didn't think it would hurt
anything to find out

a little more about the stock,
you know.

So, uh, this morning I-I went
upstairs and I talked to him

and he said that he doesn't
have any more left.

That means he must have sold
those shares to someone

between last night
and this morning.

Now, who in the world
could it have been?

Fred!

Howdy, partner.

Could you all, uh, spare
a dish of coffee

for an oil tycoon?

Well, a fine friend you are!

Now, what's the matter?

We wanted to buy
that stock.

Well, you didn't sound
like it last night.

You didn't either.

Did you tell them, Fred?

Well, Ethel, I hope you're happy
now that you jumped our claim.

What are you
talking about?

We wanted to buy that stock,
as if you didn't know.

How could we know?

Then why did you rush in
and change your minds

just before we did?

What a sneaky thing to do.

Oh, for goodness sake.

Well, Ricky, when
money comes into it,

you certainly find out
who your friends are.

I wouldn't be surprised if they
refused to split with us now.

- Split?
- Split?

You had just as much chance
to buy it as we did.

Yes, Lucy, Fred is right.

We had just as much chance
to buy it as they did.

We just have to face it, honey,

the Mertzes will be rich,
and we'll still be poor.

Oh, now, don't go putting
on a poor mouth.

Well, maybe someday

they'll invite us
to their penthouse.

'Course I don't mind
so much for myself.

I was just thinking
about poor little Ricky.

That money could have gone
for his college education.

Well, that's certainly

hitting a rich godmother
below my money belt.

Poor little Ricky.

Yeah.

My son.

Yeah.

Oh, all right, all right.

We'll split it with you.

- That's wonderful!
- Fred, you're a pal!

That's the least
I could do, I guess.

Now, we've got ten shares,
and we'll give you one.

That really is
the least you can do.

All right, two.

Okay, three.

We have three.

Do I hear four?

Four.

We have four.
Do I hear five?

Five.

- Oh, now, just a minute.
- Oh, come on, Fred.

Yeah, Fred.

What's five shares
to a big oil typhoon like you?

That's tycoon.

All right, then,
you can have five.

Do I hear six?

- Lucy...
- Oh, I'm just kidding.

That's really very
generous of you, Fred.

I wish there were some way
that we could repay you.

Well, there is.
You can pay me for the five shares.

Oh. Write him out
a check, Ricky.

How much is it, Fred?

$600.

$600?

Oh, what's the
difference, honey?

In a week or so, we'll
all be millionaires.

Sure.

- All right, partner!
- We'll all be rich.

In a week or so!

Good mornin', Lucy-Lu.

Hi, Ethel, honey.

Are those new furs?

No. They're yesterday's.

Oh.

How much did they cost?

Does Rockefeller tell DuPont?

I got them on approval just
like you did that mink coat.

- Yeah.
- How do you like my hat?

Oh, I like it. It's dreamy.

I got a new hat, too.

Let me see it.

Aw...

Oh, that is really wonderful.

My, let me see the top of...

That's great.

Howdy, folks. Howdy.

[Lucy] Hi, Fred.

How do you like those furs?

Pretty classy, huh?

Oh, yeah. They're wonderful.

You know, I think I'm gonna
like being a millionaire.

Millionaire, millionaire.

You know,
I've said it so often

that it doesn't
mean much anymore.

- You know something?
- What?

We might even get
to be billionaires.

Yeah, or even trillionaires.

Or even zillionaires.

Yeah, or even ...

What comes after zillionaires?

The income tax department.

Oh, Fred.

[Ricky] Lucy!

Yeah, we're in here, Tex.

- Tex?
- I mean Cube.

[Fred] You drill any more wells today, partner?

- Hiya, partner.
- Good mornin', Ricky.

Don't you think you're going
a little too far?

Well, now, how do you
expect us to dress

if we're going to be
Texas oillionaires?

Well, I don't know,

but my father always told me,
"Never cross your chickens

before your bridges is hatched."

What was that?

What was that again?

You know what it means.

It means, tha-that--
don't go spending your money

before you get it.

"Don't go spending your money
before you get it."

"Don't go spending your money
before you get it."

Hello.

Oh.

Oh, yes, I see.

Oh, yes, I'll tell Mr. Ricardo.

Yes.

Well?

That man wanted me to tell you

that your custom-built,
periwinkle-blue Cadillac

would cost $12,000.

And, yes, they could fix
the horn to play "Babaloo."

Oh, look who isn't
spending his money.

Well, I was just digging up
a little bit of information,

that's all.

You don't see me
spending my money before...

I know, I know.

"...Before your bridges is hatched."

-
- $12,000!

Periwinkle-blue.

How do you like that?

Somebody's at the door.

- Good afternoon.
- Oh, hello.

Say, do you know where
I can find the mana...?

- Hi, Fred. Hi.
- Oh, hi, Ken.

Say, have you got a fella
living in the building

by the name of Johnson?

Yeah, he's upstairs in 4-B.

I rang there. I guess
they must not be home.

Well, is there anything
I can do for you?

No, no. I just want
to talk with him

about some oil stock.

- Oh?
- Yeah. I'll catch him later.

So long, folks.

- So long.
- So long.

[Ethel] Hey, he looks familiar.

[Lucy] Yeah, who is he?

- Yeah.
- He's a detective.

We must be in on
a pretty good deal.

If he's going to buy
some of the stock,

it must be okay.

Suppose he doesn't want
to see Mr. Johnson

about buying the stock?

Well, what other reason
would he want to see...

We have been swindled!

Sure!

I knew the minute
I laid eyes on that man

that he was a crook.

You said he had a kind face!

Yeah, I didn't say what kind.

Well, there goes all
our hard-earned money.

How do you like that?

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
There must be some way out of this.

After all, he promised us

a big gusher
would come in any day.

- Yeah.
- Well, we don't have any proof

that he said that.
We have to have evidence.

- Evidence?
- Evidence?

That's what we got
to get-- evidence.

Oh, that's gonna to be
a little hard to find.

We got to get some.

What do I know about oil?

I got to get mixed up
with this character here.

We got to prove
what he said right...

Watch out where you're going!

Well, don't get mad at me.

I'm in this just as much as you are.

You are in this
exactly as much as we are.

No wonder you wanted to unload
all those shares on us.

- Unload?!
- Unload?!

Well, maybe unload
is not the right word.

But, after all, Fred,

we all know how you are
with your money.

And it was pretty obvious
the way you begged us

to take the stock off your hands.

We begged you?!

See, he admits it.

Come on, Fred. Let's get out of here.

- That's the thanks we get.
- Yeah.

If you're the kind of people

we would have had
to associate with

if we were millionaires,
I'm glad we were wiped out!

Ethel.

I'm not speaking to you.

I know, I'm not speaking
to you either,

but this is an emergency.

Can we have a five-minute truce?

I know how we can get
our money back.

How? How?

- See this tape recorder?
- Yeah.

Ricky said we needed evidence.

Now, I am going to get
Mr. Johnson

to repeat everything

that he promised us
about the oil wells.

Oh, he won't say a word
if he sees that recorder.

Naturally.

You are going
to hide out in the hall

and run the recorder.

Now, look.
See this microphone?

I have it hidden right here.

Yeah.

- Look at that.
- Uh-huh.

I have the wire run down

inside my slacks, see?

Like this.

Gee.

- Oh.
- Listen, Ethel,

if this works,

we won't have any reason
to be mad at each other anymore.

Shall we do it right now?

Yeah. Come on. I have to carry
this up in the hall...

There. It's all plugged in.

Now I have to put this in here.

Now, when I get inside,
you press this button

and turn this to this side.

- Okay.
- Okay.

And then let the cord out

as I move around
the apartment.

Now, when I get all
the evidence I need,

and I'm ready to leave,

I'll jerk on the cord
twice like this.

- Yeah.
- See? And then you

reel me in fast because
I'll be ready to come out.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Now, listen.

Keep the cord very taut

so that you'll know
when I'm ready.

- Keep it taut.
- Okay, all right.

Don't give me any slack.

No, I won't.

Hello.

Oh, Mrs. Ricardo.

- Won't you come in?
- Thank you.

Sam, we've got company.

You have to excuse
the way I look.

I was just doing some more
of our unpacking.

Well, that's all right.

Well, well, howdy, little lady!

Hello, Mr. Johnson.

I hope you don't mind my
dropping in like this,

but I wanted to talk to you.

Glad to have you
any time at all.

Excuse me.
I'll continue my unpacking.

Certainly.
Mr. Johnson, it's just that

I'm terribly worried about

the oil stock we bought from you.

[Sam] Well, honey child,
don't let it bother

your pretty little redhead.

No, sir, that oil stock
is just as safe

as US government bonds.

And in no time at all, you...

Uh... would you repeat that, please?

Huh?

I said, would you
repeat that, please,

just to reassure me?

Well, I said
those oil stocks

was as safe
as US government bonds.

Uh-huh.

And in no time at all,
you'll be rolling in money.

Oh, that's right.

As soon as that well comes in,

you won't be able to count the money,
it'll come in so fast.

Have you any idea how much
money we'll be making?

Oh, you ought to get back
your investment,

oh, I would say,
a hundred times over.

Why, the fact of the matter
is, Mrs. Ricardo,

I wouldn't worry none.

After all, I wouldn't
let you invest in a well

that wasn't gonna come in.

Uh, Mrs. Ricardo...

are you all right?

Oh, yes, yes, I'm all right.

I'm just a little nervous, I guess,
about all the money I've invested.

Well, now, honey child,

you don't need to worry none.

- No?
- Mercy, no.

You can trust Sam.

Well, I've been in this game
a long time, Mrs. Ricardo,

and I've seen a lot
of wells in my day,

but I look for this well
to be a real lollapalooza.

Why, do you know, Mrs. Ricardo?

Unless I miss my guess...

How's that?

I said unless I miss my guess,

this little baby is gonna gush

like no gusher ever gushed before.

Uh, uh, whoa!

What's going on here?

Well, what's that cord?

Oh, Ethel, all right, Ethel!

Ethel, stop!

Ethel!

I'll tell you what's going on.

We have all the evidence we need

on a tape recorder out in the hall.

- Evidence?
- Yes, evidence.

Evidence that you two
are trying to swindle us.

Swindle?!

Now, wait a minute.

Our money, or we are
going to the police.

Now, you're making
a big mistake.

Our money, please.

Why, that well's liable
to come in anytime.

Are you gonna give us
our money

or will we take this recording
to the police?

Now, just a minute, ma'am.

Down Texas way, a deal is a deal.

Our money, please.

Sam, if that's
the way she feels,

give her back her
nasty little old money.

All right, honey pot.

Thank you very much.

All right, Ethel, reel me in!

Uh...

Ethel, slack up a bit.

Well, here's to the smartest,
cleverest, little wife

in the whole world.

Hear! Hear!

It really wasn't anything.

Oh, let him tell all about it again.
I like to hear it.

Well, so do I.

Well, I tell you, honey,

that was the greatest idea
you ever had.

Oh, thank you.

We're all out of this mess,
and we owe it all to you.

- Well...
- Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Shh...

What's the matter?

Fred, that sounds
like our buzzer.

Go see if somebody's
at our door.

All right.

I didn't know you could
hear our buzzer in here.

Sure. How do we know
when you have company?

[Fred] Oh, Ken.

Oh, there you are.

We're over here.

Oh, say, I wonder if I could use
your phone a moment.

Use ours.

Oh, thanks, thanks.
This one can't wait.

I... I just made the greatest...

greatest buy in my life

from that... from that Johnson fella.

You bought something
from Mr. Johnson?

Yeah, yeah. Oil stock.

Honey, honey, I got it.

Yeah, for a while there,
I thought it was going to be too late.

Yeah, but-but Mr. Johnson said

that some dopes returned
the block of stock to him,

and he sold it to me five minutes

before we got a wire
saying they struck oil.

[Ken] Yeah, you can get
that mink coat now.

Ha, ha, ha!

Yeah, that's right. That's right.

And open up that champagne.
I'll be right home. Good-bye.

Thanks a lot, folks.
