00:00The Lucy Show Starring Lucille Ball
00:16Co-Starring Gail Gordon
00:31Brought to you by
00:32Lucy?
00:33Yeah?
00:34What was so important you had to give up your lunch hour for Mr. Mooney?
00:37Well, Mr. Barmash, the jeweler, is bringing a present over here that Mr. Mooney bought
00:42for his wife.
00:43Mr. Mooney bought a present for his wife?
00:46He had a ring made for her.
00:49What'd she catch him at?
00:52Nothing.
00:53It's their wedding anniversary.
00:54Well, Lucy, from what you've told me, I didn't even think Mr. Mooney was fond of his wife.
01:01He's fond of anything that's deductible.
01:06This is the check that I have to give to the jeweler.
01:10How much is the check for?
01:11I don't know.
01:12It's sealed in this envelope.
01:13Well, let's open it and take a peek.
01:16Mary Jane!
01:17Well, aren't you curious how much Mr. Mooney's spending on a present for his wife?
01:22It's none of my business.
01:24Mr. Mooney wanted me to know he wouldn't have sealed the check in an envelope.
01:29You can steam it open.
01:31Mary Jane!
01:32That's unladylike and unethical.
01:36Turn up the heat under that kettle.
01:42There.
01:43Now put it right over it.
01:44Is that the way to do it?
01:45Right back there.
01:46See how it's doing?
01:47Oh, yeah.
01:48There it's going.
01:49Now turn it off.
01:50Oh, I feel just like James Bond.
01:55What's that?
01:56It's another sealed envelope with some writing on it.
01:59What does it say?
02:01If you open this one, Mrs. Carmichael, you're fired.
02:06How do you like the nerve of that man?
02:09After knowing me all these years, he doesn't trust me.
02:22Mrs. Carmichael?
02:23Yes, sir?
02:24Did you ever get here with the ring yet?
02:25No, sir, he didn't.
02:26Here's the check.
02:36What are you doing?
02:37I'm giving the envelope a rubdown.
02:39It's all right.
02:40They had a steam.
02:44Mr. Mooney, are you insinuating that...
02:47Yes.
02:49I won't even dignify that with a denial.
02:54Come in.
02:56Oh, Mr. Beaumont, I've been expecting you.
02:59I regret I was unavoidably detained.
03:01Mr. Mooney, the ring turned out more beautifully than I anticipated.
03:06Oh.
03:08Oh, it's absolutely gorgeous.
03:11Oh, Mr. Beaumont, that is really a work of art.
03:16Oh, Mr. Mooney, your wife is a lucky woman to be married to a man like you.
03:21I know.
03:24I can hardly wait to see her face when I give her this at the party tonight.
03:28Oh, is the ring a surprise?
03:30Surprise nothing.
03:31She designed it herself.
03:32Oh.
03:33Oh, here's your check, Mr. Beaumont.
03:35Oh, thank you.
03:37Well, this seems to be in order.
03:38Six thousand dollars.
03:44Now you know, nosy.
03:49I beg your pardon.
03:50Oh, I was just... I had to tell my secretary.
03:52And here is your receipt.
03:53Oh, thank you very much.
03:54Good day, sir.
03:55Oh, Mr. Beaumont.
03:56Yes?
03:57Aren't you forgetting something?
03:59Forgetting something?
04:00Oh, yes.
04:01I thought with a purchase this size, well, at least you could...
04:03Mr. Mooney, when you ordered the ring, I made it quite clear.
04:07We do not give trading stamps.
04:13My, this certainly does sparkle, doesn't it?
04:16Oh, it's absolutely scrumptious.
04:18Oh, Mr. Mooney, that...
04:21Mr. Mooney, would you do me a favor?
04:23What's that, Mrs. Carmichael?
04:25Would you let me try the ring on?
04:27Why?
04:28Well, I'll never be able to afford a thing like that.
04:33And I just like the thrill of seeing how it looks on me.
04:36That's all.
04:37Well, of course, you may try it on.
04:39Thank you, sir.
04:40Be very careful.
04:41Oh, I will.
04:42No, don't.
04:43No, sir.
04:44Oh, it is so beautiful.
04:46Yes, it is.
04:47Oh!
04:48Oh, it's heavy.
04:49It's really heavy.
04:51Oh, my dear.
04:53Oh, what is this?
04:55Oh, oh.
04:57Oh, how do you do?
04:59It's so good to see you, Duchess.
05:01Oh, nice of you to come to my little soiree.
05:05Oh, Elizabeth and Philip.
05:08Oh, yes.
05:09How are things at the palace?
05:11Oh, that's nice.
05:13Oh, this?
05:14Oh, it's just a new little bauble I picked up.
05:18I see you're still wearing that same old crown.
05:23All right, Mrs. Carmichael.
05:27Fun time's over.
05:28Oh.
05:29Yes, let's get back to work now.
05:30Yes, sir.
05:31And I want to thank you very much for allowing me to put it on.
05:34That's all right.
05:35It was nice seeing you.
05:36It's a thrill, I can tell you that.
05:38Yes.
05:45Here.
05:47Oh, no.
05:50Oh, no.
05:51No, don't.
05:52Don't tell me that you can't.
05:54I won't.
05:57But I can't.
05:58Mrs. Carmichael, if this is one of your practical jokes.
06:01No, sir, it's not a joke.
06:02The ring is really stuck.
06:03This is what I get for being nice to people.
06:05Get it off.
06:06Get it off.
06:07I'm trying.
06:08I'm trying.
06:09Try harder.
06:10Try harder.
06:11Here, here, let me try.
06:12Let me try.
06:13Here, I'll get it off.
06:14Mr. Mooney, Mr. Mooney, be careful, please.
06:17Mr. Mooney.
06:18Mrs. Carmichael.
06:19What?
06:20Brace yourself.
06:21Really?
06:22Oh, when you got it on, you get it off.
06:24All right.
06:25You're ridiculous, idiotic, stupid, horrible.
06:28Don't yell, don't yell.
06:29You'll make my fingers swell.
06:31You'll make your fingers swell?
06:33Yes, it's a condition I have.
06:35When I get nervous, my fingers swell.
06:37See, it started already.
06:39Well, I should have known a fat head would have fat fingers.
06:43Now, don't make it worse for heaven's sake.
06:46Just give me a minute, I'll get it off.
06:48Oh, you know, I think I know how.
06:51Oh, what, what, what?
06:52Well, they say sometimes when you get a ring stuck,
06:54if you put soap and water on it, it'll just slip right off.
06:57That's right, that's right, yes.
06:58All right, I'll be right back.
06:59Hold it!
07:02I'm not going to let you out of my sight.
07:04I'm going with you.
07:05To the ladies' room?
07:06Did you get it off?
07:07No, but I've got the fattest wrinkled fingers in town.
07:11Oh, no.
07:13Now, now, Mr. Mooney, don't give up.
07:16There must be a way.
07:18Remember, I'm not going to let you out of my sight.
07:20I'm going with you.
07:21To the ladies' room?
07:22No, but I've got the fattest wrinkled fingers in town.
07:26Oh, no.
07:28Now, now, Mr. Mooney, don't give up.
07:30There must be a way.
07:32Remember, I'm not going to let you out of my sight.
07:36Remember, if at first you don't succeed,
07:38try, try again.
07:40Slow and steady wins the race.
07:43He who gives up...
07:44Oh, be quiet!
07:47I'm trying to think.
07:48All right, all right, now think, too.
07:50After all, two heads are better than one.
07:52Normally, yes, but in this...
07:54Oh.
07:56Wait a minute.
07:57Ah, that's it.
07:58What?
07:59What's it?
08:00I'm going to call the hardware store
08:01and have them send over a hacksaw.
08:03A hacksaw?
08:04Oh, Mr. Mooney,
08:05it'd be a shame to cut a beautiful ring like this.
08:08I wasn't thinking of cutting the ring.
08:13Well, you certainly can't be thinking of cutting...
08:15Oh, no, no, I guess not.
08:18Although the way you type with fewer fingers
08:21you'd make fewer mistakes.
08:23Oh, Mr. Mooney!
08:25Now, Mrs. Carmichael,
08:26you get that off or you are fired!
08:28I am sick and tired of your ridiculous...
08:31Oh, don't cry.
08:33I feel bad enough without you yelling at me.
08:37Well, don't cry, don't cry.
08:39Well, don't yell, don't yell.
08:42The more you yell, the more nervous you make me
08:45and the more nervous I get,
08:46the more my fingers swell.
08:48I got a condition.
08:50Why don't you see a doctor about that condition?
08:53I did and he gave me some pills for it.
08:55Oh, what kind of pills?
08:57Relaxing pills.
08:58I think I'd better take some right now.
09:00Well, please do, please do.
09:02You make me so nervous, Mr. Mooney.
09:03I'll get some water.
09:05You always yell.
09:06You never wait for anybody to explain.
09:08Take it easy, take it easy.
09:09If you have to take pills, take pills.
09:10Here's the water.
09:11There you are.
09:12Oh, that's good.
09:13That's fine.
09:14Oh, you're doing very well.
09:15Good.
09:20Now, do you feel any better?
09:22No, I don't feel better yet.
09:24I gotta have time to relax and be quiet a little more.
09:28Oh, all right.
09:29We'll have you relax in no time at all.
09:31We'll do that now.
09:32Just take it easy.
09:33Here we are.
09:34Now, come on, sit down.
09:35That's easy, easy, does it?
09:38Now, lie back, lie back.
09:40That's right.
09:41Now, put your head back.
09:42There you are.
09:43Close your eyes.
09:45There we go.
09:47Rock-a-bye, baby.
09:52If you relax, the swelling will stop.
09:58Rock-a-bye, baby.
10:02Oh, that's a telephone bell.
10:04Hello.
10:05Yes, Miss Jones, yes.
10:07All right, Miss Jones.
10:09Yes, yes, I'll take care of it.
10:11Okay, thank you very much.
10:13That bell scares me to death every time.
10:15I've asked them to change that bell.
10:17If you'd asked them, maybe they'd make a softer bell on there.
10:21I get scared all day long with that bell.
10:24No, no, no, relax, relax.
10:26You're not going to sing anymore, are you?
10:32Mrs. Carmichael.
10:33What?
10:34How long will it take for those pills to take effect?
10:37I don't know.
10:38I never took them before.
10:40Well, I hope they work fast,
10:42because if I don't get that ring to my wife at that party tonight,
10:45she'll kill me.
10:46She'll bite my head off.
10:48And with her big mouth, she can do it, too.
10:50Oh, that woman, when she gets mad, she'll hurt me.
10:53Mr. Mooney, Mr. Mooney.
10:55Mr. Mooney, it's hard for me to relax here
10:58with the phone ringing and you talking all the time.
11:01I think really that I'd get more rest
11:03if I went home, if you don't mind.
11:05Oh, all right, all right.
11:06It might be good for your condition.
11:07Yes, it would help, it would help.
11:09I think I'll take one for the road.
11:13All right, now, let's see if you get home all right.
11:16That's a good girl.
11:19I forgot my bag.
11:25All right, we're at your apartment, Mr. Carmichael.
11:41Mrs. Carmichael?
11:44Mrs. Car...
11:47Mrs. Carmichael?
11:49Mrs. Carmichael?
11:51Mrs. Carmichael?
11:53Mrs. Carmichael?
11:54Mrs. Carmichael?
11:57Ah, there we go.
11:59All right, there we go.
12:01That's...
12:02That's...
12:16Mrs. Carmichael?
12:18That's a daisy.
12:20That's a daisy.
12:22Oh, Mrs. Carmichael, that's a daisy.
12:25That's a good girl.
12:26There, you see now, isn't it?
12:34Mrs. Carmichael?
12:39There!
12:40Oh, you're doing very well.
12:48This way.
12:49Oh, that's...
12:50That's good.
12:52Come on.
12:53Oh, there we go.
13:10Mrs. Carmichael?
13:12Oh, forget it.
13:13Oh, you...
13:29There we go.
13:31Oh, that's it.
13:35Oh, that's...
13:36There!
13:41Oh, that's...
13:42There!
13:46Isn't it weird?
13:47Isn't it weird?
13:48And there's a curb now.
13:49And there's a curb now.
13:50We'll just throw our foot up on the curb
13:52We'll just throw our foot up on the curb
13:53and away!
14:04Oh, my.
14:05Oh, my.
14:06Oh!
14:07Oh!
14:09I didn't realize those pills were so powerful.
14:15There we go.
14:16There we go!
14:26Oh, that's...
14:27Oh, that's...
14:28That's...
14:29That's...
14:30That's...
14:31That's...
14:32That's...
14:33That's...
14:35What?
14:42And they worry about our generation.
14:53Oh, no.
14:55Oh, no.
14:55That's...
14:56That's...
14:56That's a good girl.
14:57We're almost there.
14:58We're almost there.
15:01Right.
15:02Left.
15:03Oh...
15:04Oh...
15:06Oh...
15:07Oh...
15:08Once more!
15:09Oh...
15:14Oh...
15:25Miss. Kallman, if you can hear me...
15:27I-I have to get into your purse
15:29and get your tea to your apartment.
15:30Alright?
15:31What do you think you're doing, mister?
15:52What do you think you're doing, mister?
16:00What do you think I'm doing, you idiot?
16:03I'm going through her purse.
16:04Well, you're a cool one, and in broad daylight, too.
16:05Officer!
16:06Whoa!
16:07Officer, believe me, this isn't what it appears to be.
16:20I'm not a purse snatcher.
16:21I'm just trying to get a ring.
16:22You knocked the poor girl out to get it, huh?
16:23I did not.
16:24This is my secretary.
16:25I'm trying to get her to her apartment.
16:26You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
16:27Well, if I could explain that.
16:28Well, you're better.
16:29Yes.
16:30Well, you see, I bought a ring for my wife.
16:31Up there, here, here, here.
16:32There it is, right there.
16:33And my secretary tried it on, and it got stuck.
16:34A likely story.
16:35Well, I could use a ring.
16:36I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
16:37I'm sorry.
16:38I'm sorry.
16:39I'm sorry.
16:40I'm sorry.
16:41I'm sorry.
16:42I'm sorry.
16:43I'm sorry.
16:44I'm sorry.
16:45I'm sorry.
16:46I'm sorry.
16:47I'm sorry.
16:48A likely story.
16:49Well, I can show you the receipt.
16:50I'd like to see it.
16:51You would.
16:52Hold this.
16:53There it is.
16:54There's the receipt.
16:55Here.
16:56Well.
16:57I received $6,000 from Theodore J. Mooney for one ring.
16:58Huh?
16:59Now, how am I supposed to know that you're Theodore J. Mooney?
17:00Oh, for heaven's sake.
17:01I'm sorry.
17:02I'm sorry.
17:03I'm sorry.
17:04I'm sorry.
17:05I'm sorry.
17:06I'm sorry.
17:07I'm sorry.
17:08I'm sorry.
17:09I'm sorry.
17:10I'm sorry.
17:11I'm sorry.
17:12I'm sorry.
17:13I'm sorry.
17:14I'm sorry.
17:15I'm sorry.
17:16I'm sorry.
17:17Oh, for heaven's sake.
17:18Hold this again.
17:19There's my identification.
17:20All right.
17:21Yeah?
17:22I guess you're Theodore J. Mooney, all right?
17:23Of course I am.
17:24Of course I am.
17:25Now, all I want to do is get this poor girl off the street.
17:26You see, she has a condition.
17:27I can see the condition.
17:28Ah.
17:29Ah.
17:30Ah.
17:31Ah.
17:32Ah.
17:33Ah.
17:34Ah.
17:35Ah.
17:36Ah.
17:37Ah.
17:38Ah.
17:39Ah.
17:40Ah.
17:41Ah.
17:42Ah.
17:43Ah.
17:44Ah.
17:45Ah.
17:46Ah.
17:47Ah.
17:48Ah.
17:49All right, now.
17:50Mrs. Carmichael, we don't have too far to go, now.
17:51We just go up the steps like a good little girl.
17:52Huh?
17:53Shall we?
17:54Here we go.
17:55Here, hold tight.
17:56Come on, now.
17:57Let's back up a little bit.
17:58Now then, we put one foot up.
17:59Away!
18:02Oh, that's good.
18:07Now we put another one away.
18:10There's the other one.
18:12Away you go!
18:14How you doing?
18:30Michael, snap out of it, snap out of it.
18:32Time's a wasting.
18:34I've just got to get that ring.
18:36My wife will just kill me if I don't.
18:38Yeah.
18:40Oh, don't.
18:42Don't, don't, don't.
18:44Don't cry.
18:46Don't cry.
18:48Don't cry.
18:50There you are.
18:54Hi, Mr. Mooney.
18:56How are you?
18:58Fine.
19:00How do you really feel?
19:02Fine, fine.
19:04What do you want?
19:06I want to get this ring off.
19:08Remember?
19:10Oh, the ring.
19:12Oh, we've got to go to my apartment.
19:18We're at your apartment.
19:20Oh, are we?
19:22Oh, yes, we've been here for over an hour.
19:24Is that so?
19:26Do you think you can get that ring off now?
19:30No.
19:32It's stuck.
19:34Well, maybe if we put soap and water on it again, it would come off.
19:38Maybe, yes, it could.
19:40No.
19:42No, Mrs. Carmichael.
19:44Please, Mrs. Carmichael.
19:46Oh, Mrs. Carmichael.
19:48Oh, Mrs. Carmichael.
19:50Oh, that's it.
19:52One foot ahead of the other.
19:54Oh, that's good.
19:56Now, we'll go to the sink and get some soap and water.
19:58Oh, you're doing very well indeed.
20:00Oh, that's so good.
20:02There we are.
20:04And over here to the sink.
20:06This is my kitchen.
20:08There we are.
20:10There we are.
20:12You're good.
20:14Now, we get some soap and some water.
20:16And we get your hands all soapy.
20:18And then the ring will come off.
20:20Oh, you want to get the ring off?
20:22Yes.
20:24Yes.
20:26There we go. That's it.
20:28Now, that loosens it, doesn't it?
20:30Oh, slippery.
20:32Yes.
20:34Now, how is it coming along now?
20:36It's off.
20:38It's off. Oh, wonderful. Let me have it.
20:40What?
20:42Let me have it.
20:44Oh.
20:50Can you find it?
20:52No, I can't find it.
20:54Oh, let me get a...
20:56Let me just get these suds out of here.
20:58Oh, for the love of...
21:00Get these suds out of here.
21:02Oh, okay.
21:04That's right. Get them out.
21:06No, there are the suds.
21:08The suds.
21:10Don't touch me. Don't touch me.
21:12Well, I didn't mean to.
21:16Hurry up. Hurry up.
21:18There we are.
21:20The suds are all gone.
21:22So is the ring.
21:24It went down the drain.
21:26Down the drain.
21:28Down the drain?
21:30Sometimes when things get stuck in there,
21:32I just turn the switch on.
21:34Don't turn that on.
21:38I wasn't going to turn it on
21:40when your hand was in there.
21:42You think I'm stupid or something?
21:44Don't tempt me with obvious questions.
21:46Don't turn that switch on.
21:48I don't want a $6,000 ring
21:50ground up into garbage.
21:52Of course you don't.
21:54No, of course I don't.
21:56Well, have you got a plumber?
21:58Yes, but he doesn't make house calls.
22:00Well, have you got some tools?
22:02Yes, I have.
22:04Get them. What have you got?
22:06What?
22:08What have you got in the way of tools?
22:10Oh, I've got a hammer and I've got a thingamajig
22:12and a doohickey.
22:14What's a thingamajig and a doohickey?
22:16That's a doohickey and that's a thingamajig
22:18and that's a hammer.
22:20Let's see if I can do something here.
22:22That's a garbage disposal.
22:24I know it's a garbage disposal.
22:26Hey, give me a wrench.
22:28A what?
22:30A thingamajig.
22:32Well, why didn't you say so in the first place?
22:34Now, if I just get this pipe loose here
22:36we might be able to see what's going on here.
22:38You think you know what you're doing?
22:40Of course I know what I'm doing.
22:42There we are. Look through that.
22:46No, there's nothing there.
22:51Will you get the hammer and help me now?
22:53Yes, sir. What do you want me to do?
22:55Well, now, I'm going to try and get this fitting loose,
22:57this gooseneck here.
22:58What?
22:59This gooseneck.
23:00I'm going to loosen the fitting around it
23:02and then when I get the wrench on it,
23:03you hit it with the hammer
23:04and that'll break it loose.
23:05All right.
23:06Now, there we go. Now, hit it now.
23:07All right.
23:08That's good. One more.
23:09That's good. Another one.
23:11Yeah!
23:14I got it loose.
23:16I got it loose.
23:18Lucy, Lucy, Lucy.
23:20The most amazing thing just happened.
23:22I was down in the laundry room
23:23doing my Hello, Mr. Mooney laundry
23:25and I was using that washing machine
23:26that they're fixing the pipes
23:27and I reached down and got my laundry
23:28and look what I found.
23:30My ring. My ring.
23:33What do you mean your ring?
23:35It is his ring.
23:36I mean his wife's ring.
23:37Remember, it's his wife's ring.
23:39It's his wife's ring.
23:41I mean his wife's ring.
23:43Remember the ring I told you about
23:44in the office?
23:45Yeah.
23:46Well, Mr. Mooney let me put it on
23:48and it got stuck on my poor little finger
23:50and we had to get some soap on it
23:52and it slipped off
23:53and it went down in the drain.
23:54I guess it went all the way to the laundry.
23:56Yeah.
23:58Mr. Mooney has been so upset.
24:00Just give it to me, please.
24:01He can't take it.
24:02Thank you very much.
24:03Oh, what we went through.
24:04I know.
24:05But it's all right now?
24:06Yes, it is.
24:07We can get that office out.
24:08I can't get it off.
24:09What?
24:10I can't get the ring off!
24:11Oh no!
24:12You're kidding!
24:13Oh no!
24:14You're kidding!
24:15Oh no, not again!
24:17Not again!
24:18Oh that's what I get for being nice to people.
24:21All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
24:51All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
