00:00The Lucy Show
00:11Starring Lucille Ball
00:17Co-starring Gail Gordon
00:30Good morning, Mr. Mooney
00:50Well, what a pleasant surprise, Mrs. Carmichael
00:54And how did we manage to get to work on time for once?
00:58Well, I think my clock's broken
01:00Bye, Daddy
01:02Hello, Lucy
01:03Well, get to work on these right away, please
01:05Well, can't I have my coffee first?
01:07No, you can't have your coffee first
01:09You just got here
01:11Now, please, get to work, get to work
01:12Yes, sir, yes, sir
01:13Mrs. Carmichael, turn that radio off
01:24What is that thing doing here?
01:27Well, you see, Mr. Mooney
01:29When I was in high school, I always played the radio while I did my homework
01:33And now that it's hard for me to concentrate with so much quiet going on
01:38I didn't know they had radios when you went to high school
01:43Well, you keep that thing off and you get to work at once
01:48Do you hear me?
01:49Good heavens
01:50Mr. Mooney
01:50Oh, good morning, Mr. Cheever
01:52How are you, sir?
01:54Not very well
01:55Oh, what's wrong, sir?
01:56Well, at the meeting last night, it was brought to my attention that our branch is lagging in the getting of new accounts
02:02It is?
02:03Yes, and it was suggested that perhaps this branch was a bit overstaffed
02:07One vice president, too many, to be exact
02:10And as a vice president, I hope that you can read between the lines, Mr. Mooney
02:15Oh, Mr. Cheever, sir
02:17Are you inferring that unless I get some new accounts
02:20Well, congratulations
02:21At least you can read
02:23Oh, my
02:27I've never seen him so upset
02:30How does he expect me to get new accounts?
02:32Drag people in off the streets?
02:34I don't know why he blames me for everything that goes on around here
02:37Well, I wouldn't worry about it
02:39Well, you better worry about it
02:42You just remember, if I go, you go
02:48Now, I'll be in my office
02:50And I don't want to be disturbed
02:52No, sir
02:52And that, folks, was the latest hit from the nation's number one country singer, Homer Higgins
03:04And here's a little news for you Homer Higgins fans
03:08Homer is about to become a California citizen
03:10He arrives in town this morning
03:12And will check into the penthouse suite of the luxurious Palm Garden Hotel
03:17Now, that's eating pretty high in the hog for a country boy
03:21And he should be eating high in the hog
03:23Because the music industry has estimated that Homer's income this year will exceed $5 million
03:30Wow
03:31And now, folks, we're
03:33Right
03:33Dottie, I'm going out
03:38I'll be back as soon as I can
03:39But what about this work?
03:40If Mr. Mooney comes back and you're not here, won't he be angry?
03:43No, not when he hears about the big new account I got lined up for him
03:47Right this way
03:55Well, if this don't beat off
04:05I hope you will find this sweet satisfactory
04:16Ain't this pretty effy?
04:33Well, it looks like an awful big place to keep clean
04:39Why didn't we take that little room we were just in?
04:43That was the elevator
04:45This penthouse apartment gives you a magnificent view overlooking Los Angeles
04:51Have mercy on us all
04:54On a clear day, you can see Catalina
04:58Well, from what I hear, that's a mighty rare sight
05:01Catalina?
05:03No, a clear day in Los Angeles
05:05Anything else, sir?
05:15Oh, no, no, thank you, but just a minute
05:17Just a minute, sir
05:19Here's a tip for you
05:24Oh, thank you, sir
05:28And all right
05:29I hope you enjoy your stay
05:32Hold on there just a minute
05:33You've been awful nice to us
05:35And Effie, give this nice man some of your duck gizzards
05:39Oh, sure a thing
05:40Give him a whole wad
05:42Here you are
05:43They're awful good, fried and hog lowered
05:46Oh, and by the way
05:49At the end of the week, take out what we owe you
05:52Yes, sir
05:53All right, fine
05:54Oh, by the way, if there's any left
05:56Why, uh, treat your carnation to a sack of fertilized
06:00That's the deal
06:01How do you do, ma'am?
06:14Hello, Mr. Higgins
06:14I, um, I heard on the radio that you were moving here today
06:18And I thought I'd stop by and welcome you
06:20Well, ain't that nice, Effie?
06:23Oh, it sure is
06:23Come in and make yourself to home
06:25Yes, come on in
06:26I want you to meet my kin folks
06:29Get up, cut this crown
06:30Uh, this is, this is my wife, Effie
06:33Hello, howdy
06:34And that's her brother, Effie
06:37Effie?
06:40Uh, yes, ma'am
06:41He was born ahead of her
06:42And his folks call him Effie
06:43Cause, uh, if he was a girl
06:44They was gonna name him Effie
06:45Oh, well, how do you do?
06:50Uh, glad to meet you, Effie
06:51My name is Lucy
06:52Lucy Carmichael
06:54Hi there, Miss Lucy
06:56Gee, you got hair the color of orange juice
07:01Orange juice?
07:03Yeah, and I bet a girl as pretty as you must get squeezed alive
07:08Well, only when the bus is crowded
07:11You sure are pretty
07:14Uh, down, Effie
07:17Down there
07:18Come down
07:19Well, since Effie's pet skunk died last year
07:23He's gotten girl-minded
07:25Would you like to come in and rest your feet a spell?
07:29Thank you
07:29Go right ahead
07:31Oh, Effie, come on, help me with the unpacking
07:33Now the bear
07:34Come on, come on
07:35Get along, get along
07:36Get, get
07:36Bye, Miss Lucy
07:38Bye
07:38Oh, come on
07:39Pick up your feet, boy
07:41Pick up your feet
07:42Oh, that boy
07:44That boy is about as useful as a milk bucket under a bull
07:49Would you like some Effie Sassipras tea?
07:56Well, thank you
07:57But, uh, before I accept your hospitality, Mr. Higgins
08:00I, I think I should explain that my visit is not entirely social
08:05It is not?
08:06No, not exactly
08:07You see
08:08Well, the truth is
08:10Well, uh, what I'm trying to say is
08:14If, uh, well
08:16Why don't you stop spitting on the handle and get to hoeing?
08:22How's that?
08:24Say what you come to say, ma'am
08:26Oh
08:27Oh, well, you see
08:28Uh, I really came here to talk business
08:31I work for a bank, Mr. Higgins
08:33And, well, I, I came to see if we can handle your account
08:37Well, frankly, ma'am
08:38I don't cotton much to banks
08:40Oh
08:41Well, Mr. Higgins
08:42Uh, banks are, uh, very necessary
08:45Especially to a man with your income
08:47You know, a bank offers advice on financial investments
08:51And, well, I just think a person should put his money into something
08:54Oh, I do, ma'am
08:55I, I do
08:56Uh, in boxes
08:57You mean
09:00You mean
09:01All these boxes are full of money?
09:04Yes, ma'am
09:05Oh
09:07You know, I, you know
09:09I keep them in boxes
09:10Oh, for heaven's sake
09:11You mean you, you carry your money around with you all the time?
09:15Well, not all of it, ma'am
09:16I had to leave a whole mess of it at home
09:17We run out of boxes
09:18Well, Mr. Higgins
09:23My, you, you certainly make a lot of money with your singing and your records
09:28Uh, and you know, I also write all my own songs
09:31You do?
09:32Yes, ma'am
09:32You want to see me make up a folk song about you right now, just like that?
09:36Well, I sure would
09:38Alrighty, bye
09:39I didn't know you composed your own song
09:42No
09:43Mm-hmm
09:44Fell in love with a pink-haired gal
09:50Fell in love with a pink-haired gal
09:53Fell in love with a pink-haired gal
09:58Fell in love with a pink-haired gal
10:10Fell in love with a pink-haired gal
10:11Well, is that it?
10:13Yep
10:13Well, that's very clever
10:15Well, that, that last line didn't come too easy
10:18Oh
10:18That was very good, that last line
10:21Well, you were the inspiration
10:22Oh, really?
10:24That's right, and if that's ever a hit, I owe you a favor
10:26Oh, well, the biggest favor you could do for me, Mr. Higgins
10:31Is let me introduce you to my boss, Mr. Mooney
10:34He's the banker I work for
10:35No offense to you, ma'am
10:37But I feel like a worm in hot ashes around them big city bankers
10:41Well, Mr. Mooney's not a big city type banker
10:45He comes from real down-to-earth country folk
10:48He does?
10:49Yeah, yeah, he grew up on a farm
10:50And all his kin were farmers
10:53And all his kin's kin
10:55Sounds like my kind of folk
10:57Oh, I just know that Mr. Mooney is the type of banker that you'd cotton to
11:01Well, I tell you what you do
11:03You bring this Mr. Mooney over here
11:05So that we can at least have a howdy and a handshake
11:08Oh, wonderful, thank you, Mr. Higgins
11:10All right
11:10Oh, I'll bring him over right away
11:12All right

11:25Oh, how do you, Miss Lucy?
11:32Hello, Mr. Higgins
11:32Uh, I'd like you to meet my boss, Mr. Mooney
11:35Well, you sure don't look like no banker
