An I Love Lucy New Year’s Eve:
(Lucy is running after Ricky all over the house.)
Ricky: “For the last time Lucy, you can not be in my New Year’s Eve Show at the Club Babalu.”
Lucy: “But Ricky, I’m so talented.”
Ricky: “You? Talented? Ha.”
Lucy: “Lots of people will want to see me ring in 2022. I bet Ryan Seacrest would.”
Ricky: “Lucy, Ryan Seacrest could not care less. For the last time, you CAN’T be in the show…and that’s final.”
(Ricky leaves. Lucy calls Ethel on the phone.)
Lucy: “Ethel, please come over. I need your help. I’m going to be in Ricky’s New Year’s Eve Show if it’s the last thing I do.”
Ethel (over the phone): “If you do, that WILL BE the last thing you do.”
Lucy: “I know the place where they sell those revealing costumes. Come on.”
(They go to the shop in New York where they sell the costumes.)
Lucy: “I only have so much. How much did Fred leave you?”
(A pause.)
Ethel: “One cent.”
Lucy: “I will put it on my credit card.”
Ethel: “I would hate to be Ricky when he sees the bill.”
Lucy: “Don’t worry. He won’t. I’ll think if something.”
(Lucy buys the costume. It has a revealing thong.)
(At the Club Babalu, Ricky is with Fred & Ethel.)
Ricky: “Fred & Ethel, Lucy has been in my case about wanting to be in the New Year’s Eve Show.”
Ethel: “What a surprise.”
Ricky: “The Kardashian sisters are here. Here they come.”
(Kim, Kourtney & Khole Kardashian cone by. Crowd applauds. Ethel is starstruck.)
Ricky: “The Mertzes, say hello.”
Fred (with eyes popping out of his head): “HOW DO YOU DO?”
Ricky: “Fred, don’t push your luck.”
Ethel: “Come on Fred. Back to the old people’s table you go.”
Kim: “Where is your wife Ricky?”
Ricky: “I don’t know. The show will be starting soon.”
(Meanwhile Lucy gets Ethel to come into the dressing area.)
Lucy: “Ethel, don’t say a word to Ricky. I finally managed to get into this thong.”
Ethel: “I hope you don’t suffer a wardrobe malfunction.”
Lucy: “I won’t.”
(The show begins. Ricky somehow doesn’t see Lucy’s face. At 11:59:50, they count down.)
All (yell): “10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…”
(To be continued.)
