An I Love Lucy Mothers Day:
(Lucy & Ricky are walking down the stairs.)
Lucy: “Now Ricky.”
Ricky: “Absolutely not. I am not going to perform at your Wednesday Afternoon FANG & CLAW Society’s Mothers Day luncheon with your mother. I have a prior engagement to work at the Club Babalu.”
Lucy: “But Ricky, I told them that you were going to be there.”
Ricky: “Why didn’t you ask me first?”
Lucy: “Well…”
(Fred & Ethel come in.)
Fred: “Hi folks!”
Ethel: “Hi Lucy!”
Lucy: “Fred & Ethel, talk some sense into Ricky. Tell Ricky to break off his prior commitment at the Club to help out the Wednesday Afternoon Fang…I mean Fine Arts Society’s Mothers Day luncheon.”
(They fold their arms.)
Ricky: “Now, you see? Now, I have to go to rehearsal.”
(Ricky leaves.)
Lucy: “Fred & Ethel, I got an idea. We will get a person to wear a Ricky mask that was made and I will play a CD so he can lip sing.”
Ethel: “Good girl.”
Fred: “This is a bad idea. We don’t want ‘Ricky’ to do a Ashlee Simpson. Ashlee.”
(Fred whistles.)
Ethel: “Fred.”
Lucy: “This will be a great gift to all the mothers in our group.”
(On Mothers Day, Lucy puts on the Ricky mask and dresses as Ricky. She’s backstage with Ethel.)
Lucy: “I was unable to get a man so I will dress as Ricky and mouth his songs while you play his music. Fortunately, this mask is the kind that sticks to your face so my mouth can move.”
(Ethel plays the CD and Lucy mouths Ricky’s songs. It goes well for about three seconds as the CD skips. The crowd boos. They throw eggs at Lucy. Ricky comes by.)
Ricky: “Hi Fred! My Mothers Day concert got canceled.”
Fred: “Oh gosh!”
Ricky: “Whats the matter?”
(Ricky sees what is going on and is FUMING. He goes on stage and peels off the mask to see that it’s Lucy. They get pelted with eggs.)
Ricky (yells): “LUCY!”
Lucy: “Ewwww!”
(The end.)
