An I Love Lucy Father’s Day:
(The Ricardo’s and Mertzes are in the Ricardo’s dining room.)
Ethel: “Hey Lucy, what are you and Ricky doing for Father’s Day?”
Lucy: “Ricky’s Uncle Alberto is coming to visit us.”
Ricky: “Yeah, he practically raised me when I was a kid.”
Lucy: “Yes, and me and you Ethel are going to bake a cake for him.”
Ethel: “What?”
Lucy: “Ethel I need some help baking a cake.”
Ricky: “Lucy, wouldn’t it be better if you went to a bakery and have the cake professionally made? Do you agree Fred? Wouldn’t you want Ethel to have the cake made professionally for your Dad?”
Fred: “If it costs me money, no.”
(Ricky laughs.)
Ethel: “Lucy, I know nothing about making cakes.”
Fred: “If you did, you probably would eat them.”
(Ricky laughs.)
Ricky: “Now Lucy, you get that cake made professionally understand?”
Lucy: “Yes sir.”
Ricky: “Fred, let’s go outside to check on the chickens.”
(They go outside.)
Lucy: “Come on Ethel, let’s bake the cake.”
Ethel: “Lucy.”
Lucy: “Cone on Ethel. It won’t cost Ricky a cent with my method.”
(They go and bake a cake. They are baking the cake very badly. On Father’s Day, Uncle Alberto arrives. He is dressed to the teeth.)
Ricky: “Happy Father’s Day Uncle Alberto.”
Alberto: “Thsnk you Ricky. You have a lovely home here.”
Lucy: “I am ready with the cake.”
(Lucy brings it out and it’s sooo big that she trips and falls onto Uncle Alberto who is now a big mess.)
(Ricky is fuming.)
Ricky: “Now Lucy, what’s the ‘splanation?”
Lucy: “Ok, the ‘splanation. You see, me and Ethel baked the cake and we did a great job but if it wasn’t for that rug being there, I wouldn’t have tripped.”
(Everyone laughs, including Uncle Alberto.)
Ricky: “This is so crazy and it could only happen to you.”
(Lucy is now laughing.)
Uncle Alberto: “Let’s dig in.”
(Everyone eats the cake.)
