An I Love Lucy beach vacation:
(The Ricardos and Mertzes arrive on a cruise to Cozumel, Mexico.)
Lucy: “Ricky, it’s so good that you are performing on this ship.”
Ricky: “And that it’s even better with you not on the show.”
Lucy: “Oh.”
Ethel: “Lucy is in a castle making contest with Carolyn Appleby.”
Lucy: “Yeah, she thinks she is so good. I will make a spectacular castle…Ricky?”
Ricky: “Absolutely not. You have made the sheets and the blankets now go take a nap.”
Ethel: “What does he mean?”
Lucy: “You made your bed now lie in it.”
Ricky: “Never mind. Come on Fred. Mr. Band Manager.”
Fred: “Ok. I don’t want to see what Ethel looks like in a bathing suit.”
(They leave.)
(It’s 12a. Six hours before the contest. Lucy bangs on the Mertzes door.)
(Ethel answers it.)
Ethel: “Lucy.”
Lucy: “Ethel will you help me make the castle?”
Ethel: “Lucy why did you wait until the last minute?”
Lucy: “Because I was tired and I forgot.”
Ethel: “Ok. At least I won’t have to listen to Fred snore.”
(They make the castle. It’s morning just before the contest. Lucy & Ethel are covering the castle. The men are there.)
Fred: “Let’s see the creation.”
(They do. It’s like their poor excuse for a barbecue grill in “Building A Barbecue.” The boys laugh their heads off. Lucy cries.)
(The judge sees this.)
Judge: “The winner is Lucy because Carolyn’s castle was washed away due to the tide.”
Lucy: “Oh my.”
(They celebrate as Lucy is awarded the prize.)
Lucy: “Since Ethel was allowed to help, she gets this too.”
Ethel: “Oh.”
(The end.)
