The Lucy Show (1962–1968): Season 2, Episode 15 - Lucy Goes to Art Class - full transcript

Starring Lucille Ball.

Costarring Vivian Vance.

Brought to you by...

Jell-O gelatin,

the light dessert with
new fresh fruit taste.

From General Foods.

Well, I guess that's it.

You get everything you
wanted, Mrs. Carmichael?

I think so, yes.

Oh, would you ladies like
to enroll in our new art class?

Art class?



Yes. They meet here
every Thursday night.

I'll bet you two
have a lot of talent.

Oh, are you kidding?

I can't even draw
a straight line.

I can't even draw
a crooked line.

But I thought you two
were always enrolling

in night school classes.

Well, we did, but we stopped.

We didn't seem to be
getting anything out of them.

We haven't met a bachelor yet.

Well, let's see,
that'll be, uh...

Oh, wait a minute.

I just thought of something
else I have to get.

- Lucy?
- What?



- I better go on to the market.
- Okay.

May I use your back door?

- Be my guest.
- Thank you.

I'll see you at home.

All right, dear.

Harold, do you
have a world atlas?

Oh, I certainly do.
They're right over there.

Oh.

Jerry will get a lot
of use out of an atlas.

Well, it's not for
Jerry, it's for me.

He was doing a
project last week,

and he wanted to know what
was England's chief export.

All I could think of
was Richard Burton.

Good morning, Harold.

Good morning, Mr. Brooks.

How are you today?

Fine, thank you.

This'll do.

That'll be $4.85 altogether.

Okay... Oh!

- Oh, dear.
- Allow me.

I'm terribly sorry.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, thank you very much.

Oh, that's... that's
my sandwich.

I was eating it in the car.

I didn't want it all.

Well, I hated to be a litterbug.

Oh, I didn't want
the apple, either.

A mousetrap?

Sure. With all
that food in there,

she's bound to have mice.

I was taking it back
to the hardware store.

It didn't work.

I know this looks
like a lot of junk,

but it's all stuff that I need.

Well, I guess that's all of it.

Well, thank you very much.

Not at all.

I hope I wasn't any bother.

Oh, you weren't any bother.

Really?

Shall we start over?

That'll be $4.85.

Oh, yes.

Say, Harold, has
that print of mine

been framed yet?

Yes. It's all ready.

- I'll get it for you.
- Good.

Oh, I see you have
some new prints.

Yes. They just came in.

Here you are.

Thank you.

His name is John Brooks Ill.

I wasn't looking for his name.

I was looking at the picture.

My, what a lovely smile.

Yes.

Would you like to be
formally introduced?

- No, no, that isn't necessary.
- Well, okay...

Well, if you insist.

Mr. Brooks, here's your picture.

Oh, say, you did
a fine job, Harold.

That looks just great.

Yes, that frame is
very becoming to Mona.

Yes.

Isn't it amazing what
a $15 frame can do

for a one dollar print?

True.

Say, you two haven't
actually met, have you?

Uh, no, so we haven't.

Mrs. Carmichael, may
I present Mr. Brooks.

How do you do? Glad to know you.

Oh, nice to know you.

That'll be $16 and 32 cents tax.

Oh, yes, I've got it right here.

Oh, say, a beginner's
art class, eh?

Can I still enroll?

You sure can.

Class starts tomorrow night.

Would you like an application?

Oh, I certainly would.

I've been meaning to enroll
in an art class for years.

So have I.

But, Mrs.
Carmichael, you just...

Never mind, Harold.

Give me an application, please.

Oh, would you like to
share my little desk?

Oh, thank you.

Uh, you know, you know, the
reason I have never enrolled

in an art class before, is
because I've been so busy

raising my two
children all alone.

Oh.

Of course, you probably...

Your wife takes care
of your children and all.

Oh, no, I'm not married.

Oh, oh.

Well, have you ever
enrolled in an art class before?

Oh, no. I don't even
know if I have any talent.

But I do believe that all of us

have some sort of creativity
bottled up inside of us.

I feel the same way.

I fact, I think this class
might be just the thing

to pop my cork.

Well, there you are.

Yes, there you are.

Well, very nice meeting you.

Nice meeting you.

I'll see you in class.

Oh.

Thank you.

- Good-bye.
- Good-bye.

Harold, I forgot to have you
validate my parking ticket.

May I help you?

No thanks. I can...

Oh... oh, yeah, maybe
yes, you may help me.

There you are.

There's your ticket.

What ticket?

Oh, thank you.

Not at all.

Oh, here's your
change, Mr. Brooks.

Oh, thank you.

And I know you're going
to get a lot of pleasure

out of that art class.

Oh, I'm sure I will.

And it may give me a chance

to meet some interesting people.

I'll wrap this up for you.

Oh, thanks.

- Pardon me.
- Hmm?

Dare I presume that
you are new in town?

That's right.

Oh, well, I'm in charge of
the Danfield Welcome Wagon.

I can't imagine how we
happened to miss you.

I'll bring the wagon over

if you'll just tell me when you
and your wife will be home.

But I'm not married.

Oh, I'll bring my
wagon right over.

Thank you.

My name is Vivian Bagley.

I'm John Brooks Ill.

Here you are, Mr. Brooks.

Oh, thank you, Harold.

I'll be seeing you.

Oh, you bought a picture, huh?

Yeah. Good-bye, Mrs. Bagley.

Good-bye.

Harold, I wonder if I could...

Here.

Oh, Viv, I almost
forgot to tell you.

I'm going out tonight.

Will you do the dishes?

I was just going to ask you to.

I'm going out tonight, too.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

Well...

Oh, I'm afraid I
can't do the dishes.

Cynthia's coming over and
we're studying French together.

Well, merci beaucoup a lot.

Sorry. I have a Spanish test.

Oh...

Well...

I'd love to do the dishes.

Well, now how come you're
so eager to do the dishes?

I thought you had
homework to do.

Yes, but I'm willing
to forget it if you are.

Never mind, young man.

I could sure use the practice.

For what?

For when I get married.

A good husband knows
how to wash dishes.

Well, a good husband
doesn't flunk the fourth grade.

You go on and do your homework.

That's a boy, Jerry.
Good husband.

Come on, we'll stack them

and then we'll do them
later when we come home.

Okay.

I didn't know you
were busy tonight.

What are you doing?

Oh, I enrolled
in that art class.

You did?!

- Yes.
- So did I.

Well, good for you.

You know, Viv, I
just got to thinking...

There's going to be a
big cultural explosion

in America, and I
want to be a part of it.

I met a cute man
who enrolled, too.

Oh, what a coincidence.

Two cute men in the same class.

Uh-huh. What's yours like?

Well, he's kind of tall
and terribly handsome.

So's mine.

And he has beautiful manners
and a wonderful personality.

So's mine.

And he's just the
perfect age for me.

So's mine.

And his name is John Brooks Ill.

So's mine.

How about that?

- John Brooks Ill?!
- John Brooks Ill?!

Now look, Viv, I'll
make you a deal.

You give me John Brooks
Ill, and you can have

John Brooks IV, V, VI and VII.

Nothing doing.

All right, if that's
the way you want it,

then it's every
woman for herself.

You bet it is.

All right, and no holds barred.

- No holds barred.
- That's right.

Why, hello there, Mr. Brooks.

Oh, hello.

Oh, you remember me?

We met her yesterday.
I'm Vivian Bagley.

Yes. Nice seeing you again.

Oh, it's nice to
see you again, too.

You've got your pad
and all ready to start?

Yes, all my equipment.

Oh, that's nice.

Hello there, Mr. Brooks.

Oh, hi there.

Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

- Good evening.
- Hello, Professor.

I am Mr. Guzman, your teacher.

Welcome to our
beginner's art class.

Now, tonight, we're
going to start out

with sketching in charcoal.

I just want you to go ahead
and draw this bowl of fruit.

Now, don't be inhibited.

Sketch any way you see it.

Then we'll talk
about your drawings

and learn as we go along.

All right, class, start drawing.

Would you mind changing
seats with me, please?

Well, I...

I'll be glad to change
with you, Mrs. Carmichael.

Of course that
changes my perspective.

There.

Well, that looks
pretty good, Vivian.

Well, thank you.

How come you don't draw

what the rest of
the class is drawing?

Oh, I broke my pencil.

Oh, that's all right.
Get one off the table.

- There are plenty of them there.
- Oh, thank you.

My, that's nice.

That looks real...

Sit down, dear.

Ooh, that's nice.

Yes, well, that really
has the form, though.

Now that I've seen what
you can do with a still life,

I'd like you to try
drawing from life.

But we need a model.
Who will be a model?

Would one of you
like to pose for us?

Someone volunteer, please.

One of the ladies
or gentlemen...

Makes no difference.
Don't be shy.

Lucy, is that a
tear in your dress?

Where?

Under your arm there.

- Professor.
- Thank you, Mrs. Carmichael.

Very nice of you to volunteer.

Well, I, uh, I
really didn't. I, uh...

Oh, it's nothing.

All you have to do is sit still
so the class can sketch you.

Well, I don't know, I...

Oh, go ahead, Mrs. Carmichael.

You have such
wonderful cheekbones.

Really?

Mrs. Carmichael, will
you sit here, if you please?

Let me take your pad.

Now, Mrs. Carmichael, will
you strike a natural pose?

Better make it
something comfortable

because you'll
have to sit quite still

and not move for
about half an hour.

A half an hour?

- Mr. Brooks?
- Oh?

Could you see my
cheekbones from there?

- Oh, yes.
- Don't move.

That's it, class. Start drawing.

Lucy, did I tell you
that I'm having dinner

with John Brooks tonight?

Did I tell you I'm tired
of hearing about it?

Oh, come on now.

Just because he asked
me for a date instead of you,

is that any reason
to be a big sorehead?

You bet your sweet life it is.

What an underhanded thing
to do, tricking me into modeling

just so you could spend all
that time with him yourself.

Oh, now, don't blame me.

Blame your wonderful cheekbones.

Yeah. Well, if you
hadn't been so sneaky,

I'd be the one going
out with him tonight.

Well, while I'm out
with him tonight, dear,

why don't you amuse yourself by
sketching a bowl of sour grapes?

Yeah, well, you're right, Viv.

I shouldn't be a sore loser.

And just to prove
to you that I'm not,

I'll clean up the kitchen while
you go get ready for your date.

I am ready.

You're gonna wear that?

Yes.

Oh.

I wonder how late Flo's
Beauty Shop is open.

I don't know. Why?

I just thought perhaps
you'd have time

to go and get your hair done.

I had my hair
done this afternoon.

Oh. I'm sorry, Viv.

Yes, I see you did.

Well, I guess even
Flo has her off days.

Well, I thought it
looked pretty good.

Of course, Flo did squeeze
me in between appointments.

Yeah. Look, dear.

Now, you don't want
to go out with him

unless you're looking
your best, now do you?

Well, no. But...

Now, why don't you call him.
Tell him you have a headache.

I'd be very glad
to go in your place.

Well, I thought...

Oh, no, no.

No, no. I'm keeping that
date and that's all there is to it.

But that was a nice try, Lucy.

Oh, dear. Dress and hair.

Oh, honestly, Lucy.

Why don't you give up?

What's that?

That is an apple pie for Johnny.

"That's an apple
pie for Johnny."

It's our dessert for tonight.

We're going to dinner and then
we're going to an early movie.

And then we're going to have
pie and coffee at his apartment.

His apartment?

Uh-huh. He has to
work late, so I'm going

to take this pie over
and put it in his oven

to keep warm.

And then I'm going to
pick him up at his office.

He has left the key
under the mat for me.

Don't wait up for me, dear.

I may be very late.

Jerry?!

Yeah, Mom? What do you want?

Come in here!

Yeah, Mom? What do you want?

I want you to go to the store

and get me three
jars of hot peppers...

Oh.

Two cans of anchovies,

and one bottle of Tabasco sauce.

I am going to bake an apple pie.

An apple pie?!

♪♪

♪♪

Ah!

Ah! Oh!

Oh...

Oh, John. You're so funny!

Oh, my.

Can't you find the key?

I know. I don't
know where I left it.

- I put it under the mat.
- Oh, yes.

Oh, here it is.

Fine.

Oh, dear.

I hope you didn't mind
not going to the movies.

I hate to wait in line.

Oh, I didn't mind
missing that movie at all.

My, this is the
darlingest apartment.

Oh, it'll be a lot nicer when
I get those pictures hung.

It's still a little messy.

Say, Viv,

would you just throw
these into the bedroom

while I turn on some records?

- I'd just love to.
- Thank you.

- Oh, say, Viv?
- Yes?

There's something I want to
tell you about my Mona Lisa.

What's that?

Well, you remember that
day we met in the art store?

Do I?

Well, when I first saw
the frame Harold put on it,

I thought it was great.

But now that I have it
here in my apartment,

I think the frame
should be darker.

So, I'd like you to take a look
at it and give me your opinion.

Tell me what you
think of it, huh?

Well, now, tell me
what you think of it.

What was that?

I said, "What do
you think of it?"

Think of what?

The-The frame.

Oh, yes.

Oh, I think it's lovely. I
wouldn't change a thing.

Oh, good. I'm glad you like it.

Now, where do you
think I should hang it?

What do you think
about that wall?

Oh, that-that wall
will just be fine.

Or maybe this wall over here.

Oh, I think it would look
beautiful on that wall.

Except maybe the
light might be too dark.

Oh, yes. The light
might be too dark.

Let's not worry about
it. I certainly don't have

to think of where I'm
going to hang it tonight.

No, you don't.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

Wouldn't you like for me
to serve the pie and coffee?

Oh...

No, no, no, no.

No pie and coffee for me.

I had just a little
too much dinner.

Oh, my. That was
a wonderful dinner.

Wasn't it, though?

It's just too bad you
couldn't talk your friend

Mrs. Carmichael into joining us.

Oh, I tried to.

I just begged her to come along.

But you know, lately,

she doesn't seem to
care much about going out.

Oh?

She seemed perfectly
content just to stay at home

with her two children

and her cats and her parrot.

Would you show me
the rest of the apartment?

I've only seen the living
room and the bedroom.

And I noticed you
have a terrace.

I'd like to see your terrace.

Well, I... I...

Take another
look at that picture.

What?

Mona Lisa is Mona Lucy.

- What?
- Shh!

Do you mind if I
have a little fun?

No. Go ahead.

Oh, that really is
a lovely terrace.

Yeah. A lovely view, too.

I love the whole apartment.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

You know something I've
always had a mad desire to do?

What's that?

Paint a mustache on Mona Lisa.

Go right ahead.

You don't mind if I do?

Well, the print
only cost a dollar.

Oh, you are the
best sport, Johnny.

Oh, now, let's see here.

Oh, I've always
wanted to do this.

I cannot tell you.

How's that?

Oh, that's quite an improvement.

How do you think Mona would look

with big, bushy, black eyebrows?

Be my guest.

- Shall I?
- Sure.

Why not? Why not?

Isn't that great?

And there. Now, how's that?

Oh, how about a beard?

A beard. A beard.

Let's do it.

All right, Viv! That's it!

I've had it!

That's about it!

Lucy, what are you doing here?

Well, the children were asleep,

and the parrot was
telling stories to the cat.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

What happened to my Mona Lisa?

Well, it's a long story.

I'll tell you about
it some other time.

Oh, no. I'd like to
hear about it right now.

Well, I wouldn't want to
tell it right now. Good night.

Oh, now, just a moment.

Now, I don't know what's
going on between you two,

but as long as you're here,
why not stay for the dessert?

Oh, oh, no.

She wouldn't want to
do that. Would you, Lucy?

I'd love to.

Good. Go ahead
and serve it, Viv.

You know...

I've been wanting to meet
some interesting people

in this town, but I
sure hit the jackpot.

Well,

let me tell you, there are
some very interesting people

in Danfield, but I just have
a feeling that you are going

to be a very fascinating
addition, Johnny.

Oh, thank you.

That...

What's so funny, Johnny?

Well, you...

What is it?

You're about the prettiest girl

I've ever seen in a mustache.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

I forgot all about it.

There's your pie, Lucy.

Oh, thank you very much.

Johnny, dear.

Thank you.

I-I'd completely forgotten it.
