The Ricardos and Mertzes go to Miami Beach:

(The Ricardos and Mertzes get on the train.)

Ricky: “Is the band here Mr. Manayer?”

Fred: “Yes it is.”

Lucy: “You heard the band MANAYER Ricky.”

Ethel: “This will be so nice.”

Lucy: “Ricky?”

Ricky: “No.”

Lucy: “You haven’t even heard my question.”

Ricky: “I know what it is. It is: ‘Ricky can I be in the show on the train?’”

Lucy: “Well, why not?”

Ricky: “Do I have to remind you of all the times you embarrassed me?”

Lucy: “Oh come on. Out of 100 times, I embarrassed you only 97.”

Ricky: “The answer is no. Come on Fred. Let’s play some gin rummy. Come on Little Ricky.”

Little Ricky: “Ok.”

(They leave.)

Lucy: “Cone on Ethel. Help me. I’m going to be in Ricky’s show if it’s the last thing I do.”

Ethel: “It will be.”

Lucy: “Come on.”

(Ethel helps Lucy. Later on, they are in the Ricardo compartment.)

Lucy: “I got my costume on. It’s time for the show.”

(They try to leave but the door can’t be opened.)

Lucy: “Oh, this is a fine fix. Ricky locked the door. I guess I will have to break it open otherwise we will suffocate.”

(She does and the alarms go off. The conductor comes by.)

Conductor (yells): “WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?”

(Ricky comes by.)

Lucy: “Ricky, my husband locked the door so I couldn’t be in the show. I turned the knob to the left and it didn’t open.”

Conductor: “Ma’am, you are supposed to turn it to the right. That will cost you $3,000.

(Ricky does a facepalm.)

Ricky: “Lucy that money is coming out of my wallet.”

Lucy: “Ewwwww!”

(The end.)
