Operator, are you sure
you're calling the right number

in New York City?

Murray Hill 5-9-0-9-9.

Well, I don't understand it.
They should answer.

Ay, mira que tienen cosas
los periódicos estos aquí.

What's the matter, dear?

La señora esta, la señora Hedda Hooper--

Nunca me pone el nombre
a mi en el periódico.

Nunca la señora Hedda Hooper
me pone el nombre en el periódico a mi.

Look, Ricky, I lied to you
before we were married.

I really don't understand Spanish.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Now, what's the matter with Hedda Hooper?

We've been here five whole weeks,

and she hasn't had my name
in the paper once.

And neither has Louella Parsons.

All they talk about

is Marilyn Monroe,
Marilyn Monroe, Marilyn Monroe.

What has Marilyn Monroe got
that I haven't got?

Well, I'm sorry, dear.

But you'll get your own publicity
in due time.

Yeah, well, I'm gonna get
my own publicity agent.

That's what I'm gonna do.

- That's a good idea.
- Yeah.

Yes? Oh.
Well, thank you very much, operator.

They don't answer.

I wonder where Mother
and little Ricky are.

I've been calling the apartment
all morning.

Maybe they went to the park.

They wouldn't stay in the park this long.

You don't think something
could have happened.

Oh, I don't know.

Your mother in the park
with all those squirrels running around ...

Oh... stop it.

Hey, maybe they're on their way out here.

In her last letter, she said
they were getting ready.

Oh, don't you think she
would have let us know?

Well, you know how Mother is.

Yeah.

You take that back.

What?

What you were thinking
when you said, "Yeah."

Anyway, Mother wouldn't forget
to send a wire.

Oh, no?

Let's hope that she doesn't forget
to bring the baby with her.

Oh, honey.

Morning.

- Hi. Come in.
- [Lucy] Hi.

Oh, I don't care. I know one thing.

If we don't hear soon,
I'm gonna call Mrs. Trumball.

- What's the matter, honey?
- I've been calling New York all morning.

There's no answer in the apartment.

Well, maybe your mother
took the baby to the park.

-
- They wouldn't stay in the park

for four hours.

[Ethel] You're worrying
'cause you're so far away.

It's cold back there now, you know.

It's the middle of winter,
you don't stay in the park...

- Oh, hi, Bobby.
- Hi.

Telegram for me?

I don't know whether it's for you or not.

We've been trying to figure it out
down at the desk.

It's either for you,
or we'll have to forward it to Japan.

Why?

Who is it addressed to?

Mrs. Mickey Mikado.

It's from your mother.

[Ricky] What's it say?

"Arriving 9:30 with little Ricky.
Love, Mother."

Hmm. He's little Ricky,
and I'm big Mickey.

Well, at least, she sent us a wire,
told us she's arriving at 9:30.

Hooray for Mother.

AM or PM?

She doesn't say.

What day?

She doesn't say.

What airline?

She doesn't say.

Whatever happened to that woman's brain?

She doesn't say.

Come on. Give it to me.
Maybe I can figure it out.

They sent the wire last night,

so they must be arriving
at 9:30 this morning.

I'll call the airport.

National Airport, please.

Gee, maybe they're waiting
for us out there right now.

Uh, flight information.

Oh, why didn't they deliver
that telegram sooner?

Just be thankful you didn't have to wait
till it came back from Japan marked

"not known at this pagoda."

Oh, Fred.

Hello.

Will you please tell me

if any of the airlines
have a flight due in

at 9:30 this morning?

Well, how about 9:30 tonight?

No, huh?

Well, thank you very...

Wait a minute.
Maybe there's a flight number 930.

Hold it. Okay.

Uh, any of the airlines
have a flight number 930?

Yes?

What time is it due in?

1 :55.

Good!

From Bombay?

Bombay?

Well, with your mother, it...

No, no, even she wouldn't go

from New York to Los Angeles
by way of India.

Thank you very much.

Don't say it.
You're right, but don't say it.

What are you going to do now, Rick?

We'll just have to stay here
and wait for her to find us.

Oh, honey, she might never find us.

Yeah.

She's got the baby with her.

I'll get it, honey.

[Ricky] Thanks.

I'm telling you.

Hello?

This is Lucy.

Oh, it's Mother. Mother?

Mother!

Mother, where are you?

- She's here.
- Good.

[Lucy] How's the baby?

Did he-- Did he like the plane ride?

Oh-- Oh, well, Mom,
I'm awful sorry we didn't meet you,

but we didn't understand your wire.

Tell her to stay there.
We'll come get her.

Yeah, Mom, listen,
you-you stay right where you are.

We'll come and get you.

No, now, Mother, please do just as I say.

Stay where you are. We'll come
and get you as soon as we can.

Okay, dear. Bye.

Come on. Let's all go out
to the airport and get them.

Yeah, come on. I don't want your mother
running around loose too long.

- Come on. Let's go.
- Here we go.

Well, I still say we should have
waited out at the airport.

I'm sure Mother was out there somewhere.

Well, honey, we were there a whole hour.

Yeah, and we looked every place
but in the wind sock.

Oh, Fred, don't make jokes. I'm serious.

I'm worried sick.

Well, what are we gonna do, Rick?

I don't know, Fred. I'm whipped.

Keep your voices down.

- [Fred] Hey!
- Mother!

- For heaven's sake.
- Mrs. McGillicuddy...

- How are you, dear?
- Oh, am I glad to see you.

Well, long time, no see, Mickey.

[Lucy] Honey,

what are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

Why, you asked me
to come out to California.

Oh, what-- Where's the baby?

I just put him down,
but he's not asleep yet.

Oh, honey, we told you to stay there.
What happened?

Oh, well, I got so terribly bored
just sitting there.

Well, look, Mrs. McGillicuddy,
why didn't you stay where you were?

I mean, we've been looking
all over the airport.

- Uh, what for?
- For you.

Well, now, Mickey,
that wasn't very bright.

I wasn't at the airport.

Well, where were you when you called?

Down in the lobby.

Down in the lobby? Why don't you say--

Why didn't you tell Lucy?

She didn't ask me.

Oh, no!

Ay-ay-ay.

[Lucy] Well, am I glad to see you.

Oh! Ricky!

Come here, honey.

Give him to me.

Hello, sweetheart.

We had a wonderful time, didn't we?

- [Fred] Look how big he's grown.
- You bet he's grown.

Come on, let me have him.

You want him?

There you go.

Oh, doesn't he look wonderful, honey?

Wonderful.

Mother, what time did your plane get in?

- 12:30.
- When was it due in?

12:30. Didn't you get my wire?

Well, yeah, we got your wire,
but it said 9:30.

- Well?
- Well?

Please. Um, uh, Mother,
why did you tell us 9:30

if they told you 12:30?

Well, I thought everybody knew

that there were three hours'
difference in time

between here and New York.

Oh, that does it, brother.
Now I've heard everything.

Don't you let him talk like that about me.

Ricky, now, look, Mother is right.

There is three hours' difference in time.

- Nyah!
- Uh...

Come on, darling.
We'll have our nap. I know you're tired.

[Ethel] We'll show you California
when you get up.

- Bye, baby. I'll see you later, Son.
- [Fred] Bye, champ. See you later.

[Ethel] Bye, honey.

[Lucy] You're such a good boy.

Yes, you are. Yes, you are.

Look, Mrs. McGillicuddy.

I would like to explain something to you.

In the first place,
they meant Pacific Coast time.

And in the second place,

if you wanted to allow for the time,

you should have added three hours.

You did the whole thing backwards.

You should have said, "Arriving at 3:30."

Oh, poo!

Now, look, I'm just
trying to explain to you

- what you should have said--
- I can't hear a word you're saying.

You see, it's only quarter past 3:00.

So, according to you,
I'm not even here yet.

Ha!

Now, how do you like that?

I'm only trying to get
her straightened out

and all I get is "poo" and "ha!"

Now just a minute, Ricky.
I think she's right about the time.

Ethel, Ricky is right.

Ethel, how could she be right?
I'm telling you,

If it's 3:30 there...

If you come from New York...

- Well, what do you call gain or lose?
- You listen to me. Look.

The sun opens in the east,
and it closes in the west.

There's the Brown Derby right there, see?

And right over in there
is the Hollywood Bowl.

Oh, oh, isn't this exciting?

And, Mother, this afternoon,
we're gonna take you all around

and you will just be amazed.

Every time you walk down the street,
you see movie stars walking right along.

Really? Oh, I hope I see
some of my favorites.

Have you seen Ramon Novarro
or Francis X. Bushman?

Well, no, I don't think I've seen them.

Oh, and I must see the house
where Rudolph Valentino lived.

Oh, I'll never forget him in The Sheik.

♪ I'm the Sheik of Araby ♪

♪ Your love belongs to me.... ♪

Yeah, well, that's very nice, Mother.

You know, they're grooming Ricky
to be another Rudolph Valentino.

Ricky? Ricky who?

Ricky me. That's who.

You?

Oh, dear.

Why, you're not fit
to touch the hem of his burnoose.

What did she say? What did she say?

¿Qué quiere decir burnoose?

Now, look, cut it out, you two.

We're all here in California together.

Now, let's be friends.

Well, all right. I'm sorry, Mother.

Oh, that's all right, Mickey.

Uh, Mother, you haven't told us
a thing about your trip.

Who did you meet on the plane?
Anyone interesting?

Oh, oh, yes, I met some lovely people.

The lady next to me was just
as sweet as she could be.

Her daughter wants to get into the movies.

I told her to call you
at the studio, Mickey.

Oh, you did, eh?

And the man across the way,

he owns an amusement park
in Red Bluff, California,

and, oh, if we ever get up there,

little Ricky can ride
the merry-go-round free.

Oh, well, that's nice.

And the woman behind me was, uh,

oh, some kind of a newspaperwoman.

Uh, she said she might like
to do a story on you.

I invited her over to tea
tomorrow afternoon.

Now, look, Mrs. McGillicuddy,
I wish that--

Mother, if you're going sightseeing,
you'd better get your coat on, dear.

All right.

♪ I'm the Sheik of Araby... ♪

Please, honey.

Why do you have to get so mad?

- Oh...
-

I'll get it.

Hello?

Oh, come right up, Mr. Pomerantz. Yes.

Who's that?

My new press agent.

Do you have to see him now?

Yeah, honey, this is business.
I got to see him now.

You go take your mother out.

- Oh, honey...
- Okay, I'm ready.

Mother, you go over
and pick up the baby at the Mertzes'.

- I'll be with you in about five minutes.
- Oh, all right, dear.

Goodbye, Mickey.

Goodbye, Mother.

Hi, Ricky. I'm Charlie Pomerantz.

Oh, hello, hello.

Come in, Mr. Pomerantz.

Oh, now, Ricky, just call me Charlie.

Okay, Charlie.

Now, then, you're looking
for someone to give you

a real good publicity buildup, right?

Well, I need something, boy.

I don't seem to get a thing
in the motion picture columnist.

Is that accent for real?

What accent?

Good. Good.

Let me take a look at you.

Yeah, handsome, good build.

Hey, you know, Ricky,

with your looks and talent
and my know-how,

we're going places.

We are?

Dad, I'm going to make you
the Cuban Liberace.

Well, I don't know about that, but, uh,

I'd like to see my name
in a few of the columns.

Well, let's see, you're doing
the lead in Don Juan.

The studio plans to make you
the great lover type, huh?

- Well, I guess that's right.
- Yeah, well, that's always a good angle.

We'll start out by linking your name
with glamour girls.

You'll be seen at restaurants
and nightclubs,

holding hands, dancing cheek to cheek.

Hold it. I am married.

Married?

Yeah.

Oh, what did you go and do that for?

Well, I'm sorry,

but I've been happily married
for 14 years.

Say, that might be an angle in itself.

No, who would believe it?

No, we got to find something
for you, Rick. Something good.

Well, Charlie, you're the publicity agent.

You're supposed to dream it up.

Hey, hey, wait, wait a minute.

That pool gives me an idea. Can you swim?

Now, wait just a minute.
I don't want to dive off that balcony.

This is the third floor.

No, no, no, no. Listen, this is the bit.

Tomorrow afternoon,
the Motion Picture Mothers Club

is having their annual tea
here at the hotel.

Now Hedda Hopper always covers it.

- She's always here.
- Well?

They're having it on the terrace
down by the pool.

Now, suppose I arrange for you
to sing at that tea.

- Yeah?
- And suppose one of the guests

accidentally falls into the pool
and she can't swim?

Yeah?

And suppose you jump in
with your clothes on and save her life?

Well, you might got something there.

Might got?

It's absolutely inspired.
It's the greatest.

You'll be the lead item
in Hedda's column the very next day.

- We'll try it.
-

- Oh, hi, honey.
- Oh, hello.

Charlie, this is my wife.
Lucy, Charlie Pomerantz.

- Nice to meet you.
- How do you do, Mr. Pomerantz?

It's very nice to meet you.
I'm sorry I have to pop off like this.

- Goodbye, dear.
- Goodbye, honey.

Now, what we need
is a good-looking young girl

- who could use some publicity.
- [Ricky] Uh-huh.

Yes?

You wanted a young girl that...
was good-looking?

Well, I'm...

I'm...

I want some publicity.

Oh, no.

No, no, no, you can't save your own wife.

- Nobody would ever believe it.
- Yeah.

Wait, wait, wait. Wait a minute.

Hey, that might be a wonderful gimmick,
saving your own wife.

Might be just daring enough to make it.

- Oh, I don't know, Charlie.
- Oh, come on, Rick. Let's give it a try.

Well, I ...

- All right.
- Good! What do I do?

It's easy. All you do is fall in a pool
with your clothes on.

Well, I think I can-- What?

Look, Ricky is gonna be singing
at the tea. He'll jump in and save you.

You will?

Well, all right. I'd like to do that.

Besides, I told all my friends in New York

I was going to make
a big splash in Hollywood.

Oh!

Oh, my. You look lovely, dear.

Thank you, Mother.

You didn't have to get that dressed up
just for my company.

Your what?

My company, dear.

That nice lady I met on the plane.

I told you I invited her to tea
this afternoon.

Oh, Mother, I'm sorry,

but Ricky and I can't be here
this afternoon.

Well! Well, this is
a pretty kettle of fish.

And I was only doing it for Mickey's sake.

Oh, well, I'm sorry, Mother,
but Ricky made plans to sing at a tea

down by the pool this afternoon,
and I'm going to...

Well, I-I have to be with him.

I told you yesterday I'd invited her.

Oh, dear.

Well, come on, honey.

We got to get downstairs.

Well, if it isn't Mr. Ingrate!

I wish that just once
your mother would get my name right.

Mother... Mother, couldn't you tell the lady
that we're busy

and we'll see her another day?

I certainly could not.

What's the problem now?

Oh, well, the lady that Mother
met on the plane

is coming to tea this afternoon,

and Mother's upset
because we're not going to be here.

And I only invited her
to meet you, Mickey.

She's in the newspaper business.

What does she do, sell 'em?

Oh, Ricky!

Now, look, Mother,
we appreciate your trying to help,

really we do, but there's
nothing we can do about this today.

Oh, horsefeathers!

Oh, dear. I'm afraid we hurt her feelings.

Well, honey, I'm sorry.
Nothing we can do about it.

- Come on. Let's go.
- Oh ...

Where's Hedda Hooper?

She'll be here.

She'll be here. Now relax.

You know, Charlie,
I'm not sure I'll recognize Hedda.

- I've never seen her in person.
- You can't miss her.

You just look for the craziest hat
you ever saw,

- and Hedda will be underneath it.
- I've heard that about her.

Are you sure she's coming?

Oh, now, keep cool.
Just trust old Charlie.

She'll be here. Maybe you'd better play
another number, huh, Rick?

- [Lucy] Play the one I like, doll.
- Okay. Yes.

Hey. Hey, there she is! There's Hedda!

- Where?
- Go! Go! Come on! Go! Go! Go ahead!

Go! Go-go-go-go!

Oh, no, wait!

- Be careful.
- Yes, sir.

- Thank you.
- Better stay away from the edge.

Yeah, I will.

I'm sorry, honey.
I-I-I thought it was her.

- It sure looked like her hat.
- That's all right,

but, uh, what are we gonna do about him?

If I jump in, he'll save me
before I hit the water.

I'll take care of him.

Hi! Uh, now, Burt...

Oh, pardon me.

I thought you were Burt Lancaster.

Well, I've seen you someplace.
You are in the movies, aren't you?

No, but I'd sure like to be.

Well, a guy with your build and looks
shouldn't have any trouble.

Say, you know,
you're just great for the lead

in Esther Williams' new picture.

I am?

Yeah. You don't happen to have
a picture of yourself handy, do you?

Yeah, I got some right in my locker.

I kind of figured you would have.

Why don't you go get me
one of those pictures

and I'll show it to some producers
I know out at Metro, huh?

- Hey, thanks!
- Yeah, pick out a good one.

- Okay.
- Take your time.

Attaboy.

You know, sometimes my brain
amazes even me.

You sure got rid of him.

Had to do it.

Listen, are you sure she's coming?

Now, will you please
not worry about it, Rick?

I said she'd be here, she'll be here.
Trust Charlie, will you? She'll be here.

[Bobby] Telephone for Mr. Ricardo.

- Telephone for Mr...
- Here, Bobby.

- Come and take it in the lobby, sir.
- Okay.

- Hurry it up, Rick, huh?
- Okay.

You know, I just can't understand it.

Hedda has made this function every year
for the last ten years.

I know she's gonna be here.

- She'll be here, Charlie.
- Wait a minute.

There she is. There's her hat!

That's a hat?

I know it's her favorite!

I can't miss it. Now go ahead.
Do your stuff.

- But Ricky isn't here!
- I'll go get him.

Don't worry about a thing.

- But, Charlie, Ricky, isn't here.
- He'll be here in time.

Now you just go-go-go go on! There we are.

Help! Help! I'm drowning!

Help! I'm drowning!

Help! Help! Help!

Help, I'm drowning!

Help! Help! I'm drowning!

Help! Help!

Somebody save me!

Help, help!

Help! Somebody save me!

Help! Get away!
Can't you see I'm drowning?

Help! Help, I'm ...

Help! Help, I'm drowning!

I'll save you, honey!
Honey, I'll save you!

I'll save you, baby!

Get away from me!

Get off me!

Hedda!

I got her! I got her!

Say something to me, honey. Talk to me.

- Hello.
- She's all right.

Kids, kids.

It wasn't Hedda after all.

What? What?

It was just an old potted plant.

What?

Lucy! Mickey! What happened?

Well, we-we had an idea,
but it turned out to be all wet.

Oh, dear. Well, anyway,
you're in time to meet my company.

She's in seeing little Ricky.

Oh!

Mrs. McGillicuddy, what an adorable child!

He's almost cuter than my granddaughter.

Oh, thank you, dear.

Uh, Lucy, Mickey,

I'd like you to meet
my good friend Hedda Hopper.

How do you...

Your mother's told me
so much about you two.

You know, I do wish I could stay and chat,

but I was due at a party
downstairs an hour ago.

Uh, is it raining outside?

No?

And they say I wear crazy hats.

Well, thank you for everything,
Mrs. McGillicuddy.

[Mrs. McGillicuddy] Goodbye, Hedda.

And it's nice meeting you.

Mother dear,

why didn't you tell us
it was Hedda Hooper?

You didn't ask me.

Mrs. McGillicuddy
was played by Kathryn Card.

Charlie Pomerantz
was played by Hy Averback.

The bellboy was Bobby Jellison,

the lifeguard was John Hart,

and Miss Hedda Hopper played herself.
