Hurry up, Ricky! You'll be late for work!

Goodbye, honey. You got
five minutes to get to the station.

Hi, honey.

Oh, hi.

How's Ricky enjoying his vacation?

Oh...

Vacation?

Honey, could you move down a little?

- Where you going to sweep next?
- I'm all through.

Good.

Why don't you come over
and talk to me, honey?

Talk?

Sure, you don't have to do
all that dustin' and "swippin'" now.

Well, I'm afraid I do, dear.

The house gets pretty dirty if I don't
do my "dustin' and swippin'" every day.

- Honey?
- Yeah?

You missed a spot here.

Right along the edge there, see?

Right along that edge there.

Thanks.

Look, honey, this is your vacation.
Wouldn't you like to be doing something?

No, no, I just want to sit here and relax.

Psst.

Top of the picture there.

Honey, why don't you call up
little Freddie Mertz

and ask him to come over
and play with you?

- Fred is in town for the morning.
- Oh.

- He's in New York, remember?
- Yeah.

Psst.

- What is that?
- A piece of lint.

You must have missed it
with the carpet sweeper.

Thank you very much.

What do you want me to do with it?

Why don't you get yourself a scrapbook
and start a lint collection?

Look, honey, why don't you go for a walk
or go out to the village

or go out and talk to the chickens
or something?

No, I don't want to do anything.
This is my vacation.

I just want to sit here and relax.

How comes there's no cigarette
in the cigarette box?

Well, I haven't had time to
fill them yet this morning, dear.

- There's a whole drawerful in the kitchen.
- Oh, thank you.

Whew. A whole week
with the Cuban kibitzer.

You say something?

A whole drawerful in the kitchen, dear.

Cigarettes. Loaded with them.

- Lucy?
- What?

What's the meaning of this?

- What's the meaning of this?
- Yes.

Well, this is my wedding ring.
It means that we're married.

It means you're my husband, I'm your wife,
and we have a child by this union.

- I know all of that.
- Oh.

What is it doing in the windowsill
on top of the kitchen sink?

Well, that's where I put it every morning.

You see, every morning after breakfast
I take it off, I put it on the windowsill.

Then I wash the dishes.
Then I come in here and I do my housework.

I go back into the kitchen,
I take it off the windowsill

and put it back on my finger.

Well, that's the easiest way in the world
to lose your wedding ring.

Well, I've been doing it for 16 years,
and I haven't lost it yet.

Why you have to take it off?

Because dishwater is very hard
on diamond rings.

When we got married, you said
you will never take your ring off.

When we got married, you said
that dishwater would never touch

these lily white hands.

Well, I bought you
a pair of rubber gloves, didn't I?

Right.

That's the easiest way to lose a ring
is to take it off and leave it someplace.

You forgot you put it there
and then you lose it.

I don't know if you realize it or not,
but ever since you started your vacation

you've done nothing
but pick on me and criticize.

Daddy, let's fly my new kite.

Yeah, go fly a kite.

All right, son. Come on.

- Hi, honey.
- Oh, hi.

What are you doing?

- Trying to keep Ricky out of my hair.
- What do you mean?

I don't know what I'm gonna do
with him home for a whole week.

He's driving me crazy.

Oh, now you know how I feel every week.

I'm going to have to cook up a project
to keep him occupied.

- A project, huh?
- Yeah.

Well, how about that barbecue he and Fred
are planning to build out on the patio?

Gee, I don't know. That sounds like work.

All he wants to do is
sit around and relax.

I don't know how I'd get him
to build a barbecue.

Why don't you use the method I always use
when I want Fred to do something?

What's that?

Well, I start the project myself,
and then Fred sees me and he says,

"Ethel, that's not the way to do that."

And then he goes ahead
and does it himself.

Ethel, you're getting to be
a pretty tricky thinker.

Well, I've been around
the old master for so long,

I guess some of you has rubbed off on me.

Well, Ethel, I guess
we're ready to build the old barbecue now.

Yeah, we've never built one before,
but let's give it a try.

Yeah.

- I don't think he heard us.
- Make a lot of noise.

Here he comes. Guess you
better put the cement in there, Ethel.

- Might as well look like we're starting.
- Oh, okay.

We're probably gonna need
a lot more cement, too, don't you think?

- I got plenty of bricks though, I think.
- What are you doing?

We're building the barbecue, dear.

Wait a minute. Fred and I
are gonna do that next month.

I know, but the weather's so warm,
we got anxious to have it built,

so Ethel and I thought
we'd just go ahead and do it.

Just because we've never built one before
doesn't mean we can't build this one.

No. Now here's where
I thought we'd put it, Ethel.

Right over here.
This seems like the best place, see?

Then I figure that the grill
should be up, say, about that high,

to keep the smoke out of our eyes.

Now, won't that make it
kind of awkward for cooking?

Well, we'll get a little stepladder
and stand on that.

- Oh, a stepladder, sure.
- Wait. Where are the blueprints?

- Blueprints?
- The plans.

Oh, who needs plans?
We'll just create as we go along.

We thought we'd just ad-lib this barbecue.

Now, just a minute, girls.

It is very obvious that
you don't know what you're doing.

I better do this job myself.

Well, Ethel, I guess that's right.

I guess they do know more
about it than we do.

Yeah, building a barbecue is man's work.

[Lucy] Yeah.

Well, let us know how you're doing, dear.

Hold on. I'll need some help.

- Help?
- Help?

Yeah. While I'm doing the brickwork,
you two can be mixing the cement.

Pour the water in there and get going.
I'll go get the blueprints.

Well, you pour the water right in there.

- That's what he said.
- I know what he said.

Doesn't seem to be
mixing together very well.

Maybe we're supposed to help it along.

Oh.

Well, all right.

Oh, my ring.

Oh.

Well, don't just stand there. Come on.

Oh, Lucy.

Eww.

- What are you doing now?
- Mixing the cement like you told us to.

You're not supposed to
put your hands in there.

You're supposed to mix it
with that hoe over there.

Now he tells us.

- [Fred] Hey.
- Hi, Fred! Hi!

- [Ethel] Oh, hi, Fred.
- [Lucy] Hi.

What in Sam Hill's going on around here?

We're gonna build the barbecue.

I thought we were
gonna do that next month.

I know, but the weather got so nice,
we thought we'd start right away.

Well, then, I'll put on my working clothes
and come back and help you.

- Thank you.
- [Fred] You're welcome.

- [Ricky] Okay, Fred.
- [Fred] All right.

As long as you have Fred to help you,
guess you won't be needing us, dear.

No, we'll just go on in the house.

Now, just a minute.

For a job like that, it's very good
to have some helpers.

You can mix the cement and hand us
the brick while we're doing the work.

Now, go on, get going. Mix the cement.
And put some more water in there, Ethel.

Lucy, you pile all these bricks over there
in a nice little pile over there.

All the bricks over there. Nice and neat.

- Keep it moving, Ethel.
- Yes, sir.

Hurry up, honey.

Well, Fred, how about it, huh?

Well, if I do say so myself,
it looks pretty good.

Pretty good? Why, it's a work of art.

I hope the gals got dinner ready.
I'm starved.

Yeah, me too.

Well, we get--

- Ay, mira que tiene cosa...
- What's wrong? What's wrong?

Oh, Lucy. I never seen anyone
as careless as she is.

Look where she left her ring.

Well, that's one problem
I'll never have with Ethel.

She's careful, huh?

No, her fingers have gotten so fat
she can't get her ring off.

- You know what I got a notion to do?
- No.

I'm going to hide this ring in my pocket.

And let's see how long it takes her
to find out that it's missing.

- Surprise!
- Surprise!

[Ricky] Surprise. Hi!

- Honey, don't--
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Honey, don't put it there.
That's still wet, dear.

- Don't do that.
- Oh, I'm sorry. Gosh.

What were you going to do?

- We're gonna initiate our new barbecue.
- We were gonna cook hamburgers.

Oh, well, you'll have
to wait till tomorrow.

You see, this needs about 12 hours,
at least, before it sets.

- Oh.
- [Ricky] Gotta dry.

Well, honey, save it for tomorrow.

- Well, okay.
- We can cook them tomorrow.

- We'll make something else tonight, then.
- All right. I'll go home and clean up.

Wait a minute, Fred.

- Lucy?
- Hmm?

Uh, be sure that when you're ready
to give Fred a ring.

Yeah, Lucy, give me a ring.

What are you talking about?
I'll call you on the intercom.

Why should I give you a ring?
We have an intercom now.

Lucy, you can cook macaroni and cheese
for me anytime.

Oh, thanks, Ethel.

- I'll wash, you dry.
- No, I'll wash, you dry.

Okay.

What's the matter?

- Oh, no.
- What's the matter, Lucy?

My ring is missing. I've lost my ring.

Oh, now, Lucy, are you sure?

Yes. And it couldn't have happened
at a worse time.

This morning Ricky found my ring
lying here and just about hit the ceiling.

Think, girl.
When do you remember wearing it last?

Let's see now.

After Ricky gave it back to me, I put it
on my finger and I left it on until...

I took it off to mix the cement.

I remember. I saw you put it on the bench.

It must be still on there.

I left it right here.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear. It isn't here.

No, it isn't.

Maybe it fell through the slats.

Oh, Ethel, I don't see it.

Maybe it fell in one
of those pails of water.

And we used that water to mix the cement.

Oh, Ethel.

My wedding ring
is someplace in this barbecue.

- What are you gonna do?
- What else can we do?

Now, Lucy, I'm not going to start
taking this whole barbecue apart.

Neither one of us are, right now. We're
gonna wait until the boys are asleep.

No, Lucy, I'm just not gonna do it.

Now, Ethel, I'd do it for you
if you'd lost your wedding ring.

If I lost my wedding ring
we wouldn't have to find it.

We'd just have to buy
another box of Cracker Jack.

Ethel, it's my wedding ring,
the one that I've had for 16 years.

The one that Ricky slipped on my finger
when we promised to love, honor and obey.

When the minister said,
"Do you take this woman--"

Look, before you start singing
"O, Promise Me," I'll help you.

Oh, thanks, Ethel.
I just gotta find that ring.

Now, after Fred gets to sleep,
you meet me out here.

Okay.

You know, it's times like these
I wished I'd have kept a diary.

Why?

Just so I could write, "Dear Diary,

tonight I went out in the backyard
in my nightgown and felt wet cement."

Oh, now, Ethel ...

Oh, Lucy, that's the last of it.

Where can your ring be?

I don't know.

Now, honey, it'll turn up someplace.

Oh, gee, it's 2:30.
I gotta get some sleep.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm beat, too.

What are you doing?

I'm putting the barbecue
back together again.

Lucy, that'll take you all night.

I'm gonna be in enough trouble when
Ricky finds out I lost my wedding ring.

I'd hate to think what he'd do
if he sees this.

I could have been in a nice,
quiet apartment in New York.

No, I had to move to Connecticut
so I could be near you.

I don't blame you for the way you feel.
You go on to bed. I'll do this.

Good night.

Good night. Sleep tight.

Oh, gee, Ethel, thanks.

It's times like this
when you know what friends are for.

If I'd known this is what friends are for,
I'd have signed up as an enemy.

[Ricky] Morning!

Oh, hi, honey.

Hi! Where's Ricky?

Oh, he's out flying his kite.
How do you want your eggs?

Hold it for a minute. I want to
go out and see the barbecue.

- You don't want to look at the barbecue.
- Why not?

Well, uh, y-you shouldn't look
at a barbecue on an empty stomach.

Hey, that's very funny.

I'll be back in a minute.

Lucy, everybody, hurry!
Come out here and look!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

What happened? What happened?

Oh, my goodness, how terrible!

Oh, isn't that awful?

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle.

Never mind about your relatives!

- How did this thing happen?
- How should I know?

That's not the barbecue we built!

Of course it isn't! This is a monstrosity!

I'll say. I've seen better things built
by a beaver with his tail in a sling.

It looks like somebody took it apart
a-and put it back together again.

Oh, for heaven's sake,
who would do a thing like that?

Well, what else could have happened?

- Well, any one of a number of things.
- Like what?

Well... like maybe an earthquake.

- An earthquake last night.
- Yeah, that's it.

They don't have earthquakes
here in Connecticut!

That's not it!

It looks like it was hit by a tornado.

A tornado, that's it.
Hit by a big fat tornado.

They don't have tornadoes
in Connecticut either.

Oh, boy, this is a dull state.

- I tell you what I think it was.
- [Ethel and Lucy] What?

- A couple of hurricanes.
- Hurricanes!

Yeah, Hurricane Lucy and Hurricane Ethel!

Whatever makes you think
a thing like that?

I don't know.

But it just so happens that anytime
something goes wrong around here,

I got a pretty good idea
where to start looking.

Well, could we help it
if the cement wasn't--

Aha! Aha! The cement was what?
What did you say?

- I didn't say anything, did I, Ethel?
- No, no. I didn't hear her say anything.

- Daddy, Daddy!
- Just a minute, partner.

We're about to hear
a very interesting story from your mother.

- But, Daddy--
- In a minute, amigo.

All right, Lucy, let's hear it.

I'd rather hear from little amigo.

Lucy!

Well, all right.

We took the barbecue apart
and put it back together again.

- But why?
- Why?

Don't hold back the sordid details.

Because I lost my wedding ring,

and we thought it was in the cement,
but it wasn't.

Oh, no.

- Oh, no.
- Ethel!

Were you really in on the shenanigans?

Yes, I was in on the shenanigans,

and I'm dead tired from being up all night
lifting those heavy bricks.

And if you say one more word to me,
Fred Mertz,

I'm gonna take you apart
and put you back together again.

I just asked, honeybunch.

Ricky, go ahead and get mad
or something and get it over with.

- I'm not mad.
- You're not?

No, I'm not mad at all.

This is all my fault.

- Your fault?
- Yeah.

I found your ring on the bench
here yesterday

when we were building the barbecue,

so I hid it in my shirt pocket.

But why, honey?

To teach you a lesson.

I wanted to find out
how long it would take you

before you realized it was missing.

Oh, dear.

I'll go and get it. It's in the shirt
I was wearing yesterday.

Oh, honey, that shirt
was all covered with cement.

I gave it to Ethel to use as a rag.

Oh, and I gave it to Fred
to use on the lawn mower.

- Oh, for corn's sake.
- What's the matter? What's the matter?

I tore it to pieces to make the tail
for Little Ricky's kite.

Oh. Well, where's your kite?

That's what I been trying to tell you.
It flew away.

It flew away?

- Which way?
- Which way?

- Where?
- That way!

The barbecue may look kind of funny,
but it makes awful good hamburgers, huh?

- Yeah, I'm still going to rebuild it.
- I'll cut it up for you.

It sure is an eyesore.

Here you are, honey.

[Ethel] Mm-mmm!

Mmm. Good.

- [Fred whispers] There you are.
- Honey?

- Come on, eat your hamburger.
- No, thanks. I'm not hungry.

You'd better have one, honey.
They're awful good.

How can I eat when my wedding ring is
flying somewhere over Long Island Sound?

Oh, honey.

I told you I'll buy you a new one.

I don't want a new one.
I want the same one.

I feel so terrible about this.

I'll tell you what.

Look, I'll buy you a new one
with big diamonds all around it.

I don't want one
with big diamonds all around it.

I want mine with the little diamonds
halfway around it.

Oh, honey. I'm sorry.

- Come on, honey.
- Come on, sweetheart.

- I don't want it.
- Oh, it tastes so good.

It's good, really.

[Ethel] Mm-mmm!

Good, huh? Mmm!

- Mmm!
- [Ethel] Hmm, boy.

-
- What? What?

- I found my ring!
- Where'd you find that?

In the hamburger.

- In the hamburger?
- In the hamburger!

- How did it get there?
- I don't know!

Hey, wait a minute. I think I know.

You know, yesterday

when you brought that tray
with the hamburgers and everything?

A-And I pi-pick-- bent down
to give it back to you?

Yeah?

It must have fallen out
of my shirt in the meat.

- Oh, Lucy, oh!
- Oh, boy!

No, no, no, no!

What's the matter?

I want to slip it on your finger,
like I did 16 years ago.

Oh, honey.

-
- There we are.

Aw, isn't that romantic?

Yeah, just like it was 16 years ago,

only then my ring didn't have
mustard and relish all over it.
