00:00The Lucy Show
00:12Starring Lucille Ball
00:16Co-starring Vivian Banks
00:30Good morning, Mr. Mooney.
00:50Good morning. I see you finally got here.
00:53Oh, I had to stop and pick up the mail.
00:55Well, let me have it, please.
00:56Oh, no. This is all for me, sir.
00:58All for you?
00:59Yes. I put an ad in the paper.
01:02An ad?
01:03Yes. You know, I have done something that's going to make you very happy.
01:09You're looking for another job.
01:13Mooney, no. I'm advertising for a roommate.
01:17Why would that make me happy?
01:19Well, you're always criticizing me for spending so much money.
01:22And if I have a roommate, I'll cut my expenses right in half.
01:25Just think, half of the utilities, half of the rent, half of the groceries.
01:28And half of the morning has gone by and you haven't done any work yet.
01:33Well, I have to read these letters very carefully.
01:36You know, it's a big decision picking a roommate.
01:38It's very difficult for two people to live together.
01:41Those are the very words I said to my wife this morning.
01:44Out of all these, I should be able to find a roommate.
01:49Yeah.
01:54Wait a minute.
01:56You hardly glanced at that.
01:57Why did you throw it away so quickly?
01:58Because I don't want a roommate named Irving.
02:01I am a college graduate and presently employed as a librarian.
02:08Here's truly Carol Bradford.
02:09Oh, she sounds just perfect.
02:12How do you do?
02:25How do you do?
02:28I'm Carol Bradford.
02:29I answered your aunt.
02:31Yes, yes.
02:31And I'm Lucy...
02:33I'm Lucy Carmichael.
02:36I was expecting you.
02:38Can I help you with your thing?
02:40May I take that?
02:46Oh, no, no, no.
02:47I'll just put it right over here.
02:50Oh, okay.
02:57Come on, don't you come in?
02:59Oh!
03:02Oh, I'm terrible.
03:04Gloria, I should have warned you about that step.
03:06No, I'm all right.
03:07I'm just glad it happened here instead of at the library.
03:10Oh.
03:11They're very strict about noise.
03:13Yeah.
03:13Oh, look, you broke your glasses.
03:16Oh, no, I always wear them like that.
03:19Without lenses?
03:21I have on contact lenses, see?
03:23Oh, well, then why do you wear the, uh...
03:27So people won't think I'm vain.
03:33Oh, I don't think you can ever be vain.
03:35You're much too refined and dignified for that.
03:38Well, that's my library training.
03:41Oh.
03:41Believe me, it isn't always easy.
03:43You know, especially when you get some of those people in the library who are looking for a book
03:48and they can't remember the title or the author's name
03:51and you go through shelf after shelf after book after book
03:56and you want to say that them drop dead!
03:59But you don't dare because it's a library.
04:06Well, it must be very difficult to control yourself at times.
04:10Yes.
04:10Well, I'm very dedicated.
04:12Oh.
04:12One time, I was way up high on a ladder putting a book back on a shelf.
04:18Yeah, look.
04:18And somebody came along and took the ladder right out from under me
04:23and let me hang.
04:26Do you know something?
04:28What?
04:29I waited until that library closed before I would yell,
04:32HELL!
04:36Why?
04:37Well, you certainly are dedicated.
04:40I like to be considerate of other people.
04:43Oh, well, that's good.
04:44That's just the kind of girl that I was hoping to have for a roommate,
04:47I can tell you.
04:49Well, that's the kind of girl you got.
04:52Oh, I'm so glad.
04:54Why don't we...
04:57You know, even though we just met,
05:03I have a feeling that just by little things,
05:07that we're going to be very compatible.
05:10Well, you know, the little things are important.
05:12Yeah, you said it.
05:14Some things can really drive me batty.
05:16Oh, I know what you mean.
05:17You know, one of the little things that drives me crazy at the library,
05:21it's when we get one of those loud finger wetters.
05:28Loud finger wetters?
05:30You know the kind I mean.
05:34Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:37Yeah, I knew a girl like that in school,
05:40and we never knew whether she was going to read the book or eat it.
05:53Oh, I'm so glad you have a sense of humor.
05:56I don't dare laugh down at the library.
05:59I can understand that.
06:03You know, I think I'll just clear this off a little bit
06:05and make us some coffee.
06:07Excuse me.
06:08Bless you.
06:13Bless you.
06:13I think I better close the window.
06:15Maybe you're catching cold.
06:16Oh, no, no.
06:17It's all right.
06:17It's just an allergy.
06:19Oh, what are you allergic to?
06:20Well, we found out it's something in the air.
06:23What?
06:24Oxygen.
06:24I think I better close the window.
06:33Oh, no, no.
06:33Leave it open.
06:34Harvey likes it open.
06:36Who's Harvey?
06:38My goldfish.
06:40Oh, you have a goldfish?
06:42Oh, I hope he's welcome here.
06:44Oh, of course he is.
06:45Of course.
06:46Well, actually, the manager doesn't allow pets,
06:49but as long as he's housebroken.
06:54Oh, you have a wonderful sense of humor.
07:00Oh, thank you.
07:01I'll get the coffee.
07:02All right, and I'll get Harvey.
07:04He doesn't like to be left out of things.
07:05No, you bring him in.
07:14Well, I forgot about that step again.
07:16I'm so embarrassed.
07:17Well, don't be embarrassed.
07:18I do it all the time.
07:19I'm going to have to put in a ski lift.
07:24Harvey's going to love you.
07:27He's a little baby.
07:29Oh, well, that's Harvey.
07:30Yeah.
07:31Yeah, but you better let me carry him.
07:33I wouldn't want any...
07:34Eddie!
07:34Hey!
07:35Oh!
07:40Oh, I hope Harvey's all right.
07:42Oh, he's fine.
07:43He likes to play rock.
07:44Oh, good.
07:46Make him feel right at home.
07:47I'll get the coffee.
07:48All right.
07:48I'll just put him on this table.
07:52This place is so nice.
07:54I know I'm going to love it here.
07:56I'm glad.
07:57Oh, is it all right if I hang something up?
07:59You bet it is.
08:00This is your home, too, you know.
08:13Let's see.
08:15Oh, that looks so much better.
08:34Don't you think so?
08:36Now, what else do you think we should do?
08:38Well, I know.
08:39We can put this nice chair right over here, like that.
08:44And then we can take this table with the flowers on it.
08:48And we can put that right over here.
08:51And make that a nice, cozy little corner, like that.
08:56And don't you think that looks better?
08:57Well, I think the room could be angled a little.
09:01For more than it.
09:02Now, let me see.
09:03We'll take this couch.
09:04And we can move that back here, like that.
09:07Doesn't that look better?
09:09Yeah.
09:10And now we'll put this chair.
09:12And we can put that right back up.
09:14Oh, thank you.
09:15Right here, like that.
09:17And let's see.
09:18One more thing.
09:19Okay.
09:20We'll take Harvey.
09:22And we'll put him right over here.
09:27What?
09:28He likes to watch television.
09:32He's crazy about flipper.
09:34He's being right near, sweetheart, while Mommy has her coffee.
09:39No.
09:48That table should be centered.
09:58Hi, Lucy.
09:59Hi.
10:00Well, I came over to meet your new roomie.
10:05Where is she?
10:07She's in taking a shower.
10:09Oh, Lucy, you've rearranged your furniture.
10:13Yeah, my new roomie rearranged my furniture.
10:16I love it.
10:19Oh, look at that.
10:23Yeah, how about that?
10:24That's some more of her handiwork.
10:26Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know.
10:33No, that's all right.
10:34Come here.
10:34I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Mary Jane.
10:37Carol Bradford, Mary Jane Lewis.
10:40Hello, Carol.
10:41I found this ribbon on your dresser, and I wondered what it was for.
10:45Oh, I've had that thing for years.
10:47I won fourth place in a contest.
10:49What kind of contest?
10:51A beauty contest.
10:51A beauty contest.
10:52A beauty contest.
10:56I don't think I'm going to be able to take much of this.
11:17Carol, are you all right?
11:20I was vocalizing.
11:23Vocalizing?
11:24That's the way I vocalize.
11:26Oh!
11:31I sing in a choir.
11:34Oh, she sings in a choir.
11:37We meet every Saturday afternoon.
11:40Oh, well, that must be very nice for you.
11:42It is.
11:42I don't have much of a social life.
11:45Well, I'm kind of shy around people, but somehow when I'm singing, I feel more at ease.
11:49Oh, well, besides singing, what else do you do for amusement?
11:54Oh, I read a lot.
11:56Oh, well, don't you ever go out after work?
11:59Oh, sure.
11:59Sometimes the girls and I go out after the library closes.
12:03Oh, where do you go?
12:06We know this after-hours library.
12:08What's that?
12:18Well, it's a research library near the university.
12:21It's open till 10 o'clock.
12:24Well, I guess that must give you a chance to meet some of the boys from the university, huh?
12:29No, I haven't met any boys.
12:31You haven't?
12:33Why, I bet there are lots of boys that would like to go out with you, Carol.
12:37Yes.
12:40I'm sorry.
12:41When I get nervous, I get the hiccup.
12:45What are you nervous about?
12:47I think it's the topic of our conversation.
12:51Oh, that's a boy that makes you nervous?
12:53No, not going out with them.
12:58Gosh, I wish those fellows would get here.
13:02I'd like to have the party started before Carol gets home.
13:05Don't worry.
13:06They'll come.
13:06They promised Lucy.
13:08There they are.
13:11Hi!
13:12Hi, Lucy!
13:12Hi, Mary!
13:14Hi!
13:15Hi!
13:18You brought your instruments.
13:20Well, wonderful.
13:21Well, this is a party, isn't it?
13:22Oh, well, I'm so glad you got here.
13:24I was afraid you wouldn't show up.
13:25Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow could keep us from our appointed freeloading.
13:30Not a freeloading.
13:31Here's a pizza and a bottle of Chianti.
13:34Oh, thank you.
13:35That's very nice of you.
13:36Now, where's that swinging chick Mary Jane told us about it?
13:40Swinging chick?
13:41Yeah!
13:42The dollar poses for all those bikini ads.
13:47Oh, Mary Jane.
13:48Well, you wanted them to show up, didn't you?
13:51Oh, really?
13:53Look, fellas.
13:55Carol's not exactly a swinging chick.
13:57She's very nice, but she's rather shy and inhibited.
14:00And I just thought if I had a few people over, it might bring her out of her shell.
14:05Oh!
14:05Mel can handle that.
14:07He's very good at getting girls out of things.
14:09Once he got a girl out of Cincinnati.
14:14Oh.
14:15I did not.
14:17They're just putting me on because I happen to be kind of shy myself.
14:21Oh, well, I'm sure you and Carol will get along just fine.
14:25Look, let's say we get the party started, huh?
14:27How about playing something?
14:28Good.
14:28Okay.
14:29Oh, well, I know you and Carol will get along just fine.
14:38Let it be, fellas.
14:39Just play anything.
14:40I want the party really swinging when Carol comes in.
14:42Get over here, I'll play the whole thing.
14:43Anything at all.
14:45Anything for the big guy.
14:47I've got it, Ruth.
14:49Hey!
14:50Hey!
14:50Oh, there's Carol.
15:15Carol is here.
15:16Come on, Carol.
15:17We're having a party.
15:18No, no, thanks, sir.
15:19I'm not much of a party crasher.
15:21Oh, now, you're not crashing.
15:23Come on, honey.
15:23Lucy, I have this book I have to finish.
15:25Oh, come on now.
15:26You're the guest of honor, Carol.
15:28Come on.
15:38Honey, I want you to meet the fellows.
15:40Fellas, this is Carol.
15:41I've been here for the whole time.
15:43I've been here for the whole time.
15:43I've been here for the whole time.
15:44Yeah, we thought we'd have a little get-together tonight.
15:47And these fellows...
15:48They brought pizza and wine.
15:50Yeah, help yourself, everybody.
15:51Oh, wonderful.
15:52Oh, salute.
15:53Oh, salute.
15:53Salute, salute.
15:55Salute, Lucy.
15:56Aren't you going to have some, Carol?
15:57No, thank you.
15:58I don't drink.
15:59Oh, well, this is just wine.
16:01It goes with the pizza that the fellows brought.
16:04In Italy, they drink this just like water.
16:06I'm a firm believer in drinking a lot of water.
16:28Carol, this is Mel.
16:30Hi, Carol.
16:32I'm Mel.
16:33Uh, Carol works in a library.
16:37Oh, that's very interesting.
16:39Yeah, well, tell her what you do, Mel.
16:41I don't work in a library.
16:46That's very interesting.
16:47Look, why don't you two go over there and talk a little while,
16:51and we'll get the stuff ready for the party,
16:53and you just enjoy yourself now.
16:55Uh, uh, did you know that there are 6,950,000 books
17:10in the New York Public Library?
17:13No.
17:13No.
17:13Did you know that, contrary to popular belief,
17:21the first public library was not founded in Boston, Massachusetts,
17:25but in Peterborough, New Hampshire?
17:28No.
17:28Did you know that more than 42,000 library books are stolen annually?
17:55I didn't know that.
17:57Well, that's classified information and shouldn't be given out.
18:00I'm going to my room.
18:01Oh, no, Carol.
18:02Don't go to your room, darling.
18:03Now, stay here.
18:04Come on now, honey, and enjoy yourself.
18:06Oh, I can't.
18:06Now, listen.
18:07Stop.
18:07Just try to relax.
18:08I can't.
18:09Don't be so self-conscious.
18:10I'm so nervous when I get around men,
18:12and you know what happens when I get nervous?
18:14I guess I'm...
18:15Carol, for heaven's sake, just try to relax.
18:23Listen, honey, you said sometimes when you sing,
18:25you feel more at ease.
18:26That's true.
18:26Yeah, well, then, come on.
18:27Why don't you sing a song?
18:29Yeah.
18:33Yes, you can.
18:34Didn't pretend that you're singing with your choir.
18:36Choir?
18:36Yeah, come on.
18:37Try it, honey.
18:38Come on.
18:38Come on.
18:39Yes.
18:42Carol said that she likes to sing a song.
18:44She wants you to accompany her.
18:47Come on, Carol.
18:48Well, what do you want to sing, honey?
18:50They wouldn't know anything I know.
18:52Oh, don't you worry about that.
18:54You just start the melody, and we'll jump in.
18:56Anything.
18:56Go ahead.
18:57Go ahead, honey.
18:58Go ahead.
19:02Can I have a little more of that Italian water?
19:14Oh, please gather round me, brethren, and listen to this hymn about how evil battles virtue and
19:34in the fight to sink or swim.
19:43There's a lost sheep that I know of, caught in Satan's web of sin.
19:49And I sing for the forgiveness of the evil plight she's in.
20:02They call her hard-hearted Hannah.
20:06She's a girl who loves to see men's son.
20:12She's a girl who loves to see men's son.
20:25From her at the seashore with the great big pan mayor, with Hannah pourin' water on a drownin' man.
20:47It's a brand of, it's a brand of TVA.
21:17Oh, what a fuck.
21:21Oh, you're just wonderful.
21:25Like I said, music does something to me.
21:29Lovely, we got her out of her shell.
21:31Yeah, way out.
21:47Yeah, way out.
