All language subtitles for I Love Lucy S06E18 Lucy Gets Chummy with the Neighbors 1080p BluRay FLAC2 0 H 264-BTN_track4_[eng]

Breakfast ready, honey?

Lucy?

- Oh, there you are.
- Oh, good morning, darling.

Where you been?

Well, we were out of bread,

so I went next door
to the Ramseys' to borrow some.

Oh.

Oh, gee, that Betty Ramsey
is a nice person.

And so is Ralph, her husband.
You're just gonna love him.

We're sure lucky to have
such good neighbors.

Look, honey, uh...
I don't think it's a good idea

to get too friendly
with the neighbors too fast.

Why not? We're gonna be living here
the rest of our lives.

Why shouldn't we get friendly
with the neighbors right away?

That's just it.

We are gonna be here
for the rest of our lives,

so I think that we should
get chummy gradually.

Oh, well, maybe you can
get chummy gradually.

With me, it's instant chummy.

Well, I still say
that you shouldn't rush into friendships.

Oh, pish-tush.

There you are,
some nice, neighborly toast.

I'll have some nice, unneighborly jelly.

- Okay, dear, I'll get it.
- Thank you.

Gee, you should see the Ramseys' house.

It's all done in the most
beautiful Early American.

I'm getting some
wonderful ideas from Betty

for redecorating our house.

In the far distant future, of course.

Here you are, doll.

Thank you.

Blech!

Tush-sheesh!

Ugh!

Why don't you ask me what's the matter?

I can't afford to ask you
what's the matter.

Honey, our old furniture looks just awful
in our beautiful new house.

What are you talking about?
When we bought this house,

you said that our furniture
would look perfect in here.

Well, we haven't got enough furniture
for this big place.

Aw, gee, honey, please,
can't I buy just one new thing?

All right, I guess we could afford
one new thing. What's it gonna be?

One house full of furniture.

One downstairs full of furniture?

One living room full of furniture?

Oh, if you put some seeds in your head,
you could use it for a maraca.

Look, Lucy, we just cannot afford
a lot of new furniture right now.

But this stuff looks so awful.

Look, why can't we put all this in the den

and then all we'd need
is just a few basic things,

you know, like a--
a table and a lamp and a little old rug.

Oh, please, honey, please?

All right, all right.

You can buy $500 worth of furniture
and not a penny more.

- Oh, thank you, honey. Thank you so much.
- All right.

- Well, good morning, Bruce.
- Hello.

Hi. Honey, you know Bruce Ramsey?

Oh, yeah. Hi, Bruce.

Hi. Is Little Ricky here?

Yes, sweetheart. He's here.
He's upstairs. Go on up.

Little Ricky, Bruce is here!

Hi, Ramsey.

Hi, Ricardo.

Oh, isn't that cute?

Ramsey and Ricardo.

How about that?

I got to go.

I got to catch the 9:20.

Oh, okay, darling.

Bye-bye, sweetheart.

Good-bye, honey.

Now, only $500.

I know, $500.
I have it engraved right here.

All right.

- Bye-bye.
- Bye.

Oh!

Come on in, Betty.

- Hi!
- Hi, dear.

- Lucy, guess what.
- What?

You remember you were telling me about
wanting to buy new furniture?

- Yes.
- Well, I just talked to Ralph on the phone

and he's arranged for us

to go to a wholesale furniture place
this afternoon.

Oh, how wonderful!

And I just talked to Ricky,
and he said, "Go ahead, buy a few things."

- Oh, good!
- How about that? You want some coffee?

I'd love some.

Oh, really, they have simply
gorgeous things at this place,

and I can get you 40% discount
on everything you buy.

Oh, that's great!

Let's see, 40% of five...

of, uh... of what Ricky said I could spend ...

Why, I can get almost twice
as much as I thought I could.

Oh, you're so lucky, Lucy.

You know, most husbands
would raise quite a fuss

if their wives wanted to redecorate.

Ricky must be very generous.

Oh, yes, he is very generous
in his own little way.

Of course, someone in Ricky's position
doesn't have to worry about money.

No.

Well, now, let's see.

Um...

We'll do the whole living room
and dining room in Early American.

We will? The whole thing?

Oh, well, I, uh...

I kind of wanted to keep
a couple of the old pieces

for sentimental reasons, you know.

Oh, no, no, no, dear,

you don't want to mix
this beat-up old stuff

with your lovely new things.

Well, I don't want to, but...

You know what we should do with this?

Set fire to it?

No, trade it in,
get an allowance on the new furniture.

That way, you'll save even more money.

Trade it in! That's a great idea!

Now, I think we should put
two wing chairs here.

Two wing chairs, yeah.

And a big sofa here--
Maybe even two sofas.

- Two sofas?
- Yes.

[Betty] Now, let's see. We picked out
the whole dining room set,

the buffet, the two chairs,
the couch, the bench, end tables...

Uh, now, we decide on a coffee table.

Uh-huh.

Well, how about this one?

Yes, yes. That's very nice.

How about that one over there, Betty?

Could be.

Uh, yeah, now that I get
a better look at this, this is fine.

Yes, I like that.

I like the shape there.

Mm-hmm. Now, lamps.

That's attractive.

- Oh, isn't it? Yes.
- Yes, that's nice.

Uh, how about that one over there?

Sometimes at parties,

our friends like to try on
lampshades for hats.

I was just making sure
it was the right size.

Oh, Lucy, you're such a clown.

Yeah, well ...

Say, you know, Betty,

I can't get over how inexpensive
all this furniture is.

What do you mean, dear?
Mr. Perry hasn't quoted prices yet.

Oh, well, I just casually
happened to glance

at some of the price tags,

and there's some real bargains here.

Price tags?

Yeah. You know, like, for instance,
here's one right here.

See, this table is $10.62.

Oh, Lucy, there you go clowning.

Those aren't price tags.

They're stock numbers.

Stock numbers?

- Uh, Mrs. Ramsey.
- Yes.

I've, uh, been going over
Mrs. Ricardo's purchases,

like you asked me to,

and the furniture
that she has selected so far

less the 40% discount, of course,

and the allowance on her old furniture

comes to exactly $1,875.50.

We like to do these little
favors for our friends.

$1,875.50?

That price is fantastic.

You can say that again.

Now, Mr. Perry, do you have
any more lamps besides these,

because I don't think any of these
are right for Mrs. Ricardo.

- I have just the thing for you.
- Oh, good.

Look, Betty... Betty...
maybe I shouldn't have rushed into this.

Maybe I shouldn't buy so much all at once.

Maybe I should just buy
a-a chair or a lamp

or a little old table or something.

But, dear, why not buy
everything all at once?

Yeah, why not?

Well, because... I sort of like
to have furniture trickle in

one at a time, you know.

Like a Chair-Of-The-Month Club.

Stop clowning, Lucy.

Here we are.

Oh, that's very nice.

Uh, to tell you the truth, Betty,

I-I-I need everything by Saturday night.

Yeah, we're having some friends in
Saturday night,

and if we can't have everything
by Saturday night--

And I know that's impossible--

Why, then I'm afraid
I won't be able to take any of it.

But just so the afternoon
won't be a total loss, I'll, um...

I'll take this little footstool here.

Saturday night?

Oh, my, that is awfully fast.

Yes, I knew it would be,
so if you'd just wrap it up...

But since you are such a good friend
of Mrs. Ramsey's, I'll do it.

Thanks a lot.

Er, this is $24.50.

I'll just put it
with your other furniture.

Thank you so much, Mr. Perry.

Oh, come on, Lucy,
we've got lots of other things to look at.

We haven't even started
on the den yet, dear.

Yeah, why not?
What have I got to lose except my life?

What?

Oh, there I go, clowning again.

Well, here it is, Lucy,
all your new furniture.

Yeah, here it is.

I'll bet Ricky raves when he sees this.

He'll rave all right.

Of course you'll still need
a few knickknacks and things,

but we can get those next week.

Listen, I have to run now, dear,
but I'll see you later.

- Okay. Okay, Betty. Bye.
- Bye.

Operator, can I have Schuyler 4-8098,
New York City, please?

Hello?

Oh, I'm in terrible trouble.

Can you come out right away?

- What's the matter? What's up?
- Who is it?

It's Lucy and she's in trouble!

Quick, hang up!

Oh, Fred.

Is it bad trouble, honey?

Well, Ricky told me that I could spend
$500 for some new furniture,

and I got carried away
and I spent over thr...

I... I spent over thr...

How much? How much?

I spent over $3,000.

$3,000?

What-- What-- What about $3,000?

Ricky told Lucy she could spend $500
for some new furniture,

and she spent over $3,000!

Now, Fred ...

Fred, loosen your collar
so you won't faint.

Fred, it's not your money.

Lucy?

What happened to Fred?

Oh, he got light-headed just thinking
about somebody spending $3,000.

Oh, Ethel, can you come out right away?

Maybe Ricky won't be so mad
if you're here.

Sure, honey, we'll get on a train
just as soon as I can revive Fred.

Oh, thank you so much and hurry, hurry!

Okay, we will. Bye.

Fred? Fred?

Fred, come on. Pull yourself together.

We got to go out to Connecticut.

Three thousand dollars...

Oh, good, Fred and Ethel.

- I forgot my key, honey--
-

Hey! What's going on here? Hey, honey!

Lucy!

My foot's stuck!

I know. I want to talk to you
before I let you in.

Now, listen, Ricky,
I've done something awful,

and I want to tell my side of the story

such as it is,

and then when you've had
a chance to calm down, I'll let you in.

Now, listen, honey. Now, listen.

Uh... remember the other day when--

When Betty Ramsey took me
to that wholesale house,

and you said that I could spend $500

and when I came home,
you asked me if I spent it

and I said "yes"?

Well, honey, I... I spent a little more.

I didn't mean to, but, uh,
I-I-I thought that the price tags--

The tags were price tags,
and they were really stock numbers, see?

And, well, honey...

Now, honey, get a grip on yourself.

I-I-I spent over $3,000.

I didn't mean to, Ricky. Really, I didn't.
And I'm not going to let you in now

until you promise to calm down,
be understanding

and talk like a normal human being.

- Now, do you promise that, Ricky, do you?
- Okay, I promise.

Let me out!

Lucy!

You stay right where you are!

Oh, now, honey, you promised
to be calm and understanding.

I am... I am calm,

and I am very understanding.

Now, we go in there.

We go and sit down in there

and-and we'll talk over this whole thing
like two normal human beings.

Honey, isn't this pretty
what we're sitting on?

See, I... I got both,

because the room is so big

and they match the two chairs
and everything.

I bought this 'cause I like
the little railings and it spins.

You can get things from all sides.
And the rug. Did you notice the rug--

Three thousand dollars!

$3,272.65.

How could you do such a thin'?

Well?

Well, um... I didn't mean to, but...

Now, if you look at it another way, dear,

we really saved you money, you see,

because Betty got them to take
our other furniture in on trade,

and Betty got us a 40% discount.

- Betty.
- Yes, Betty.

Do you remember I told you it wasn't right

to get too chummy
with the neighbors too fast?

Oh, you're not gonna say, "I told you so"?

Yes, I am!

Well, I just thought I'd ask.

But, honey, I still say
that Betty did us a big favor.

Uh, do you know how much money
we're saving?

Yeah, exactly.

We're saving $3,292.95.

- Well, not quite--
- Because all this stuff is going back!

Oh, honey, I can't return all this.

What'll I tell Betty Ramsey?

Just tell her the truth.
Tell her we can't afford it.

Oh, I couldn't tell her that.

- Why not?
- Why, I just couldn't, that's all.

Y-Y-You tell her.

You go on over and tell her
you're a tightwad.

I'm a tightwad?

Well, if the shoe fits...

You go right over there,

you go right over there
this minute and tell Betty.

But Ricky...

Right this minute you go over there
and tell her. I'll be upstairs.

Honey?

You, uh, you might notice
a few new things up there too.

Go on!

Go on!

- Hi!
- Hi!

I'm going into town
to pick up a few things.

Anything I can get for you?

No, not another thing.

I saw Ricky come home.

What did he have to say
when he saw all the new things?

Couldn't you hear him over at your house?

No. What do you mean?

Well, as a matter of fact, Betty,

I was just on my way over to talk to you.

I'm afraid we're going to have
to return all these things.

Return them? Why?

Well, we just can't...

I don't think that, uh...

Well ...

We-- We just don't think we should ...

We should look at some other furniture
before we plunge into buying all this.

Well, Lucy, you might
at least have told me this

before we took up Mr. Perry's time
and had everything set out.

Yeah, well ...

You know, Betty, now that I see
all this furniture here,

I don't think it suits the house.

Doesn't suit it?

It's an Early American house.

This is Early American furniture.

That's just it, it's too pat.

What?

Well, you know what this house needs?

What?

Chinese modern.

Yeah, low black tables and bamboo mats

and cushions thrown all around.

We love to eat on the floor.

And-and-and lanterns and screens

and a built-in mah-jongg set.

All right, Lucy, why don't you
just come right out and say it.

- Say what?
- You don't like my taste.

Oh, no, Betty, I didn't mean that. No.

What else could it be?

I'm only trying to be helpful.

Well, that's what I get.
My husband warned me not to get too chummy

with the new neighbors,
and he was so right. Huh!

Oh, Betty, but I didn't say that.
I didn't mean that.

You don't understand, Betty.

Betty, listen...

Oh, dear.

Oh, dear.

What's the matter?

Betty Ramsey was just here.

So, did you tell her
we can't afford the furniture?

Oh, I couldn't bring myself
to tell her we couldn't afford it,

so now she thinks
that we don't like her taste

and everything's a big mess.

Oh, fine, leave it to two women
to get everything fouled up.

All right, I'll go next door

and have a man-to-man talk
with her husband

and just tell him
that we cannot afford it, that's all.

All right.

And don't cry on that sofa.
That's going back.

Oh!

- Mr. Ramsey?
- Yes.

I'm Ricky Ricardo from next door.

Our wives have already met.

Oh, hi! Come on in.

Thank you.

Call me Ralph.

Thank you.

Let's go in the den where we can sit down.

Uh, I haven't got much time.
I just want to talk about something.

Oh? I was telling the boys
down at the agency

that I live next door
to a big celebrity now.

Uh, what agency are you with?

Burton, Warshman & Ramsey.

Oh! Are you that Ramsey?

Well, yes, I guess I am.

Talking about you last week
out at the country club.

- You were?
- Mm-hmm.

Proposed your name
to the membership committee.

- No kidding.
- Yeah, of course the dues,

the initiation fee are pretty high,

but I told them that money
doesn't mean a thing

to a big star like Ricky Ricardo.

Yeah, well, uh...

Oh, yeah!

Yeah!

Sure.

Yesterday, down at our weekly
Think Conference at the agency,

I suggested your name
for a guest shot on a TV show.

- You did?
- Yes, and the reaction was tremendous.

- Well, isn't that nice?
- Are you interested?

Why, sure, I'm always interested
in doing guest spots.

Oh, good, good.

Uh, what was it you wanted
to talk to me about?

Oh, well, I just wanted to talk to you

about the furniture
that your wife picked up.

Oh, that's all right.

You don't have to thank me.

I was glad to set it up for you.
How do you like it?

Fine, fine. Only that, uh...

Well, it's a little bit high...

High-priced?

No, no, no, it's not that.

It's just... high-class, you know.

We, uh ...

We're very earthy people.

You mean you don't like it?

Oh, no, no, it's not that.
It's fine. It's just that...

Well ...

it's not for us.

What you mean is, it doesn't suit you.

Yes, that's it.

In other words,
you don't like my wife's taste.

Oh, no, I didn't say that.

Well, that's what you were inferring.

Well, no, I... I didn't infer-- I didn't.

Well, I got you a wonderful discount,
so it can't be the price. What is it?

We just want to return it, that's all.

Well, it's impossible.

Why?

Well, I went to a lot of trouble
to set up that deal.

I can't ask those people to take it back.

- Why not?
- Well, I just can't, that's all.

Are you by any chance getting a kickback
from this furniture store?

Now, look here, Mr. Ricardo,

I don't have to stand here
and be insulted.

First you don't like my wife's taste,

now you call me a crook.

I think you'd better get going.

Are you throwing me out?

I said, I think you'd better get going.

Who's going to make me?

I am.

- You are?
- Mm.

Hah!

Would you care to step outside?

- I'd love to.
- So would I.

Good.

Good!

And you can forget about that TV show.

We'll get Cugat.

That does it. Come on, let's go.

[Ethel] Don't bother to knock.

Just use your key, Fred.

Hurry up. Hurry up, Fred.

[Fred] All right.

- Do you suppose we beat Ricky here?
- I guess so. There's nothing broken.

My, Fred,
isn't all this new furniture beautiful?

Beautiful it is.

$3,000 worth it ain't.

Oh, Fred.

It's too quiet around here.

I don't like it.

¡Mira que cosa!

Hi!

¡Mira que cosa!

Oh, my goodness!

If he looks like that,
what must Lucy look like?

Oh, Fred and Ethel, you're here!

Not a scratch on her.

Honey! What happened?

Don't you know?

No! Honey, what happened to you?

¡Yo te voy a decir lo que ha pasado

y que es esta señora
y que es Ralph Ramsey!

What about Ralph Ramsey?

¡Que nos pusimos en un peleado
y me empujo en un rosebush!

What's he saying, Lucy? What's he saying?

Well, as near as I can tell,

our next-door neighbor Ralph Ramsey
pushed him into a rosebush.

Why did he do a thing like that?

Well, Ricky went over to tell
Ralph Ramsey-- that's Betty's husband--

That we couldn't afford
all this furniture,

because when I told Betty
we couldn't afford it,

she thought that I thought
that she had bad taste.

What'd she say?

I got it. Didn't you?

No. I was doing better with his Spanish.

What happened to you?

I had a fight with Bruce.

You had a fight with Bruce? What about?

He said his daddy beat up my daddy.

Is that so?

Honey, honey, now calm down.

I'm not going to calm down!

- I'm going to...
- Honey, honey...

I thought people moved to the country
for peace and quiet.

Honey, we'll get cleaned up.

Ricardo, I think you owe us an apology!

Look what your boy did to our boy!

What do you mean I owe you an apology?

You owe us an apology!

Look what your boy did to our boy!

I'm not apologizing until you do!

Well, I'm not apologizing until you do.

Well, you started the whole thing.

I did not. My wife did.

- I did?
- You inferred you didn't like my taste.

I did not.

And you called me a crook.

- No, I did not...
- I didn't call you a crook.

- Fellas, keep quiet, please.
-

You didn't give me a chance!

- Lucy...
- What?

Aren't you going to introduce us?

These are our friends, the Mertzes.

Our enemies, the Ramseys.

You didn't give me a chance!

Oh, you fellas, quiet.

This is all a big misunderstanding.

The real reason for all this trouble is

that the Ricardos simply cannot afford
all this new furniture.

Is that all?

Why didn't you say so?

Yeah, why didn't you say so?

Yeah, why didn't you say so?

Me? I'm just a little boy.

Oh, Lucy,
why didn't you tell me the truth?

Well, I was too embarrassed to admit it.

Yeah, me too.

We would have understood.

I've been wanting to redecorate
our house for years,

but we just couldn't...

Go ahead, honey. Tell them.

We couldn't afford it either.

Hey, Bruce, how about being friends?

Sure. Want to be mine?

Sure. Let's go out and play.

[Betty] Aw...

Lucy...

- I'm sorry.
- Sorry, pal.

We had a nice workout, anyway.

We sure did.

Forget what I said about Cugat.
If you want that job, it's yours.

Well, thanks. I'll take it.

- Hey, Lucy.
- Yeah.

Ralph is going to give me
a television job in one of his shows.

A guest appearance.

- A television job!
- Yeah.

Oh, boy, that's wonderful!

- Yeah.
- It pays $3,500.

- $3,500?
- Mm-hmm.

$3,500!

Honey, that'll just about, uh...

Yeah, I know, pay for the new furniture.

Yeah.

All right, all right.
