"Friends of the Friendless" speech - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ian1 · 06-11-2002, 08:13 PM

Hi-

A friend and I are desperately looking to find Lucy's "Friend of the Friendless" speech from episode #60, Lucy's last birthday.

We found the FOTF song online, but we cannot find the speech anywhere.

Can anyone please help?

THANKS!

...but I did a search with the 'FOTF' as a keyword, and there really IS a 'Friends of the Friendless' church!

FOTF

Sorry Ian1 I can't answer your question, but I always thought the name was very absurd...and was surprised to see SO MANY matches!

Plus, I wanted to bump this thread...'cause I would like to see the speech myself. It was hysterical!

The funny thing was HOW MANY times they said 'fotf'!

C'mon 'die-hard' Lucy fans...we know you're out there sitting on that speech! Give it up, OK!

Thanks for trying, but yeah... I'm really hoping someone does know the speech.

My friend Michael and I are going nuts trying to find it before the other one does, and it doesn't look like that ep will be on TV any time soon.

I'm guessing only a person who has it on tape will be able to find the speech... there's just NOTHIN' on the web.

(crossing fingers, hoping someone can help!)

Thanks!

I don't know the speech myself, but I'll stick this topic so it will stay at the top and hopefully you'll get a response.

Ooh! Ooh! I do have the speech on tape and I'm going to watch it so that I can tell you it, okay? Might be a while, but I have it readily availible.

I taped this episode last night. Here’s what I come up with:

Man:

I would like to tell you of something that happened to me. And the lesson I learned, and the meaning of true friendship.

I didn’t have a friend in the world. I was just a bit of flotsam in the sea of life. A pitiful outcast, shunned by my fellow man. I was a mess. And then, one day they came along, these good people… unasked. The Friends of the Friendless. And they put their arm around my waist and they said “We will be your friend, because you are friendless, and we are the Friends of the Friendless. And if you accept our friendship you will never again be friendless, for we are the Friends of the Friendless, and you will have friends.”

To this day I have never been friendless. I have friends. Friends in the time of joy; friends in the time of sorrow. Real friends. True friends. Friends.

Lucy:

I want to tell you all something that happened to me. The lesson I learned tonight, and the true meaning of friendship.

These people are my friends. The Friends of the Friendless. And I was friendless. I was just a bit of flotsam in the sea. A pitiful outcast, shunned by my fellow man. I was a mess.

The people I thought were my friends forsook me. Even my own husband proved he was just a “husband,” and not a friend. Today was my birthday, and do you think anybody remembered? Nobody remembered. Nobody did a thing about it. Nobody even as much… not a s…

Ricky: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I FINALLY got this episode a few months ago, and it was so nice to see it again after all those years!
