00:00The Lucy Show
00:10Starring Lucille Ball
00:17Co-starring Gail Gordon
00:30It's 10.30, where have you been?
00:49Oh, everywhere, this certainly has been a busy morning
00:52Don't give me that
00:55Now is the moment you came to work
00:58Yes, sir
00:59Yes, sir
01:01Where are you going?
01:18Mrs. Carman
01:19If you are ready, I would like you to take some dictation
01:24Yes, sir, I'm ready
01:25I have to get a note out with these contracts that I have to get out this morning
01:28Now then, this note goes to Mr. John Wayne
01:32John Wayne
01:33Mrs. Carmichael
01:39Yes, sir
01:40Mr. Wayne is a client
01:42And when I dictate correspondence to him
01:44I wish you would refrain from going
01:46I can't help it, he's my all-time favorite
01:51Nevertheless, I wish you wouldn't fall apart every time I mention his name
01:55I just wish he was here to pick up the pieces
01:57I am not interested in whom you would like to be picked up by
02:03Now, Mrs. Carmichael, let's get busy, please
02:06Will you sit down? You can't take dictation standing up, I can say
02:09Yes, sir
02:09All right, now then, are you ready?
02:11Yes, sir
02:12All right
02:12Dear Mr. Wayne
02:14Dear Mr. Wayne
02:16Enclosed herewith is the movie script you sent us
02:20Along with the final contract regarding our financing of your current production
02:25The one about the war wagon
02:27The war wagon?
02:30Yes
02:30What's a war wagon?
02:32Well, it's a large armored wagon
02:34And in this picture, it's transporting gold across dangerous, hostile territories
02:39Oh, are there Indians in it?
02:42Yes
02:42Who else is in the picture with you?
02:43I don't know, let's get on with the dictation, please
02:45I haven't finished the note
02:46He always gets the girl, doesn't he?
02:48Yes
02:48That's good
02:49The girl's usually Maureen O'Hara, you know
02:51I'd like to be in it
02:54Just take that
02:55Yes, I have
02:56Now, let me see
02:56Yes, we are very pleased to participate in a venture that has already made your company so prosperous
03:03Prosperous?
03:07Yes, prosperous
03:08Couldn't we just say rich?
03:12Mrs. Carmichael, if you don't know how to spell prosperous, you can look it up in the dictionary
03:17Well, you have to know how to spell it before you can look it up
03:20Besides, I think Mr. Wayne would say rich, I don't think he'd say prosperous
03:25Oh?
03:27Well, now, maybe Mr. Wayne would say rich
03:30All right, put down rich, then sign it, uh, yours truly, second letter
03:34Yes, sir
03:34Mr. Mooney
03:36Hmm?
03:36In, instead of signing the letter yours truly
03:39I think, uh, Mr. Wayne would like it better if she said something like
03:43Until our trails cross again
03:46May your grazing be the greenest
03:49And your waterhole never run dry
03:52I remain yours till the feathers of the red man turn gray
04:00Just sign it, your bronco-bustin' buckaroo, Tex Mooney
04:05And how would I send it, Pony Express?
04:12Well, I just thought that you...
04:13Never mind, Mr. Carmichael, just sign it, yours truly, and sign Theodore J. Mooney
04:18All right
04:18Oh, here
04:19These are the contracts that go with the note
04:21I want you to take them to the studio immediately
04:23Oh, yes, sir
04:25Yes, sir, I'll see that Mr. Wayne gets them personally
04:27Oh, no, you don't
04:30Just take them to the entrance and leave them with the receptionist
04:33But, Mr. Mooney, it wouldn't be any trouble at all
04:35Uh, my girlfriend, Mary Jane, works at that studio
04:38And I could have lunch with her
04:39No, Mrs. Carmichael, just leave them with the receptionist
04:42And don't bother Mr. Wayne
04:44Oh, Mary Jane, I just saw some Indians
04:59Oh, gee, look at all these wonderful costumes
05:04Oh, it must be fun working in the studio
05:07With all kinds of glamorous stars around all the time
05:10Yeah, it is fun
05:11Hi, Bill
05:12Hi, Ed
05:13Hi, Mary Jane
05:15Oh, hi, Ed
05:16Ed, I'd like you to meet a friend of mine
05:18It could be Carmichael
05:19This is Ed Nelson
05:20Doesn't that hurt?
05:22Not me
05:23But it sure bothers my wife when we're dancing
05:26That's funny
05:31Oh, that's funny
05:33Hi, Mary Jane
05:34Oh, hi
05:35Oh, that was Burt Lancaster, wasn't it?
05:38Oh, no, Lucy
05:39That's Mr. Simon
05:40He's the director
05:41Oh, sure looked like Burt Lancaster
05:44Hi, Mary Jane
05:45Hi
05:46Oh, I recognize him
05:49That's Richard Chamberlain
05:51Well, Lucy, that's a studio doctor
05:54Oh, really?
05:56Really?
05:56Really?
05:57Who was that?
06:11The janitor?
06:14That was Milton Berle
06:16Milton Berle?
06:18Oh, for heaven's sake
06:19What did I tell the girls?
06:20I nearly saw Milton Berle
06:23Really, Milton Berle?
06:25Listen, honey
06:26Oh, Lucy
06:26We have to order
06:27You're going to be late getting back to work
06:29Oh, I don't care if I am late getting back to work
06:31I'm still so mad at Mr. Mooney
06:33For insisting that I leave those contracts with a receptionist
06:36You think a man would understand how much a woman would like to meet John Wayne personally?
06:42Yes, you certainly would
06:43Do you know John Wayne?
06:45Not personally
06:46Well, then I think I'll introduce you
06:49Do you know it?
06:51No, but I will when I give him these contracts
06:54Lucy, I thought you gave those to the receptionist
06:58Not on your life
07:00You think I was going to give up a chance like this?
07:02I'm going to give these to Mr. Wayne personally
07:04Now, do you think he'll be in here for lunch?
07:06Well, he usually is
07:08But sometimes he has lunch in his dressing room
07:10Oh, really?
07:11Hi, Virginia
07:11Oh, hi, Joyce
07:12Hey, Joyce
07:13Yeah?
07:13You know where Mr. Wayne is?
07:15No, I don't
07:15Anything I can do?
07:16Well, my friend's looking for him
07:18Oh?
07:18Yes, I work in the bank
07:20And I have some very important contracts for Mr. Wayne
07:23Oh, yes
07:24We've been expecting those
07:25Thank you so much
07:27The receptionist
07:31The receptionist
07:32Oh, no
07:33Hi, honey
07:56Hello
07:58I thought you didn't know him
08:00I don't
08:01Well, he said hello to you
08:03At least there's a hello to everybody
08:05He called you honey
08:06He doesn't know my name
08:08Gee, that's even better than a name
08:12Oh, if he ever called me honey
08:14Wow
08:14Very friendly
08:16Oh, he's so nice
08:18Mary Jane
08:18You want it on the phone
08:19Oh, okay
08:20Here's your usual, Mr. Wayne
08:22Thank you
08:23Oh, bring me some ketchup
08:25Right
08:26There you are, sir
08:35Thank you
08:36Anything else I can get for you, sir?
08:38No, I'm fine
08:39Howdy
08:40Hi
08:44I'm Lucy Carmichael
08:46Oh, well
08:48I'm John Wayne
08:51Oh, I know you are
08:55Oh, it's nice meeting you, Mr. Wayne
09:00I work at the bank
09:02And I brought some contracts over here for you today
09:04Well, thank you
09:05I thought about bringing them to you in person
09:08But I realized that you're a very busy man
09:10And I didn't want to bother you
09:11Oh, I'm never that busy
09:13Yeah, well, whether you're busy or not
09:14I just thought there's no reason for people to bother you
09:17And that's why I left the contracts outside with the receptionist
09:21So I wouldn't bother you
09:22Well, that's very considerate
09:23It must be very bothersome
09:25People bothering you all the time
09:28Like when they ask you for your autograph and everything
09:30Well, I never considered that a bother
09:32Oh, can I have your autograph?
09:35Well, of course
09:36Thank you
09:38Uh, did you bring a piece of paper?
09:43No
09:43Oh, I didn't want to bother you
09:46But I
09:46Oh, could you
09:47Could you maybe put it on the back of this?
09:50Well, this is a page out of my script
09:52Oh, I would love to have a page out of your script
09:55Well, it's
09:56I would love that
09:57Would you care for something?
10:02Well, would you like something?
10:04Well, just a cup of coffee if it's no bother
10:06Now then, just say to my dear friend Lucy Carmichael
10:13To my dear friend Lucy Carmichael
10:18C-A-R-M-I-C-H-A-E-L
10:20I always spell it for people because sometimes they spell it E-A-L
10:24And we have the Scotch clan spelling A-E-L
10:27My maiden name used to be McGillicuddy
10:30That's how Scotch I am
10:31Um, let's see
10:34Who I enjoyed having lunch with in person
10:37I mean you in person, not me
10:42Who I enjoyed having lunch with in person
10:46Uh, together, today, alone
10:49Together, dash, today, dash, alone
10:54Together, today, alone
10:57Alone
10:57Yes, now if you just put the date down there in the corner
11:00The date?
11:00Yeah, when I get back to the bank I'm going to have it notarized
11:03Notarized?
11:06Yeah, well, I'll never believe this back home
11:09Thank you so much
11:11Oh, I'll cherish this
11:12Thank you
11:13You know, Mr. Wayne
11:16I watch all of your old pictures on television
11:19Do you?
11:20And even though I know you started out quite a long time ago
11:23You still look so handsome and so young
11:26Well, thank you
11:27I'd like to have that notarized
11:28Well, it's true
11:30Most actors don't look anything like they do in their old pictures on television
11:34Well, you know what I think ages them?
11:37What?
11:38Staying up all night watching their old movies on television
11:41Oh, you're funny
11:49You know, I think I've seen every picture you ever made
11:52Really?
11:53Mm-hmm
11:53Some of them eight or ten times
11:55Well, thank you
11:55That's very nice
11:56Oh, you know you were such a sensational army general
11:59In a picture called Cast a Giant Shadow
12:02An army general
12:04And what a dashing naval officer you were
12:07In In Harm's Way
12:08Remember that?
12:09Yes
12:09Yeah, did you enjoy making that?
12:11Very much
12:12Did John Ford direct it?
12:13No, he didn't direct it
12:15He directs most of your pictures, doesn't he?
12:16Yes, he does
12:17And most of the time you have Maureen O'Hara in your pictures
12:20That's right
12:21Yeah
12:21She has beautiful red hair
12:23Yeah
12:24You know something?
12:27You were the greatest Marine of all time
12:30In the sands of Iwo Jima
12:32Just the greatest
12:33Well, thank you
12:34Gee, you've been in every branch of the service
12:37No wonder we won the war
12:39Well, I know
12:39I never thought of it that way
12:42Yeah, you've been in the service so long
12:44I think Bob Hope should play a Christmas show just for you
12:47Yeah, I'm in trouble with that
12:55Here, let me help
12:55Here, let me help you
13:04No, don't help, please
13:05Oh, I'm terribly sorry
13:06Well, Miss Carmichael
13:07I think that I'd better get back to the dressing room
13:10And study my lines
13:11Oh, I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Wayne
13:13Oh, here, you haven't even touched your...
13:15Well, I'll take it with me
13:16Oh, okay
13:17Oh, and Mr. Wayne
13:19Here
13:19You might want that
13:21Where it belongs
13:22Now, Lucy
13:37They don't usually allow visitors on the set, honey
13:40But I'll talk to the assistant director
13:42Oh, Brian
13:43Oh, hello, Mary Jane
13:45Hi
13:45Listen, Brian
13:46This is my friend, Lucy Carmichael
13:48How do you do?
13:48And she wants to see John Wayne shoot
13:50Well, we don't usually allow visitors on the set
13:53Well, I told her that
13:54I'm a personal friend of Mr. Wayne's
13:57As a matter of fact
13:58I just had lunch with him
13:59Oh, well, in that case
14:01I guess it will be all right
14:02Oh, good
14:03Thank you
14:03And I'll see you later
14:05Have fun
14:06Okay, places, everyone
14:09Getting ready to roll, huh?
14:11John, you ready?
14:13I was born ready
14:14Uh, lady
14:17Uh, lady
14:18Uh, would you mind stepping over a bit?
14:21Oh, you're right in front of my camera
14:23Oh
14:23Oh, is that the cat?
14:27Ah, buddy
14:28Excuse me
14:30All right, now
14:32All right, let's get ready
14:34Rolling
14:35Royal Arden Company, scene 53, take one
14:39Action
14:42Tall, we better get out of here
15:06This place is loaded with Paris' men
15:08The way I look at it
15:10This place is loaded with
15:11Two of our men
15:13But, tall, there's ten of
15:14Pierce's men here
15:15And there's only two of us
15:16Couldn't we pick a time
15:17When the odds are more even?
15:18Okay, let's wait around
15:20Until six or more
15:22Pierce's men come in
15:23Ha ha, you tell them
15:25That's right
15:25Who's that?
15:32Someone in the bank sent over
15:33Not to bother me
15:34Is she a friend of yours?
15:36Seems that way
15:37Look, I want absolute quiet on the set
15:42Quiet!
15:43Absolute quiet!
15:45Ah!
15:46Oh, my
15:47That is a hot light
15:49Oh, my
15:54Did you have a lot of those hot lights
15:55Around here like that?
15:57Yes, yes, lady
15:57Oh, I didn't know that
15:58Yes, you see
15:59We have them all over the set
16:00If you look right around
16:01We have them
16:01You have to be careful
16:02Where you stand
16:03Yes, I will
16:03Thank you
16:04Now, look, I must ask you
16:05Please, don't react that way off camera
16:07Oh, I got something to tell you
16:09That's the way they're going to react
16:11To Mr. Wayne
16:12All over the country
16:13In every theater
16:14That he plays in
16:16Yes, I hope so
16:17You better just get used to it
16:18When they hear a line like that
16:20They say, yeah, yeah, yeah
16:21Yes, but that's again
16:22In the theater, ma'am
16:23Here on this set
16:24We can't have that
16:25You see, all these actors
16:26Have to be able to concentrate
16:27Oh, well, let them get used to it
16:29Because if they're in a Wayne picture
16:30They're in the best
16:31And that's the way
16:32They react
16:33Yes, you're right
16:34You're right
16:35And that's what we want
16:36But you'll help us a great deal
16:37If you'll just take it easy
16:39Right?
16:39You just don't get too upset
16:40I react the way I feel
16:41Watch out for those hot lights
16:44John, Burt Lancaster's shooting
16:48On the next stage
16:49Couldn't you send her over there?
16:51Why?
16:51Burt's never done anything to me
16:53Well, all right
16:56If you want a way to stay around
16:57All right
16:59Races, everybody
17:00We'll pick it up
17:01For Mr. Wayne's last line
17:03Roll them
17:04Scene 54, take one
17:06Action
17:09Okay, let's wait around
17:12Until six more
17:13Pierce's men show up
17:26Howdy, Pierce
17:30Howdy, tall
17:37Been a long time
17:41Yeah

18:04What's that, blood?
18:06No, ketchup
18:07No wonder I missed it
18:10There's a page missing
18:11Oh, a page missing
18:12Oh, maybe that's my fault
18:14Perhaps this is a page
18:15That you gave me out of your script
18:17Is that the one?

20:54If you're lookin' for trouble, tall
20:57I got plenty of boys
21:00That can give it to you
21:02Well, I'll let you make
21:03The first move
21:04But you better remember
21:06Maybe you're last
21:07Oh, now, tall
21:11Me and the boys
21:12Didn't mean nothin'
21:13Personal
21:14Take him, boys
21:15Look out
21:22What are you trying to do, lady?
21:31I saw her give him a knife
21:32I saw her give him a knife
21:34He took a knife to Mr. Wayne
21:36Well, I know that we're just trying to
21:38Look at her standin' there
21:39With that silly smirk on her face
21:41Well, you were trying to shoot a picture
21:43Well, you go ahead and shoot a picture
21:44But you make sure that he doesn't get hurt
21:46Good heavens, I've never seen such brutality
21:48They were rough
21:49Lady
21:50Nobody here is going to hurt me
21:53These are all my friends
21:55Why, actually, this fella and I
21:57Started together 20 years ago
22:00Yeah, way over 20
22:02Never mind
22:03I don't know how friends we are
22:05Now, just try and control yourself
22:07Hey, makeup
22:08They certainly didn't look very friendly to me
22:10You know, I've seen
22:12As I told you, Mr. Wayne
22:13I've seen practically every picture you ever made
22:15Here, let me take that
22:16And I tell you, I noticed in every picture
22:19That they sort of gang up on you
22:21You're always outnumbered
22:23You always have a tough time of it
22:25And I don't think it's right
22:26I just don't think it's fair
22:27Thank you
22:30Thank you
22:31We all thank you, lady
22:32But we're trying to shoot a fight scene
22:33Not a beauty contest
22:35Well, then, you just be very careful of him
22:37Remember, he's a star
22:38Yeah, fellas, be real careful of me
22:43Remember, I'm a star
22:45All right, star
22:49Let's get back to work, huh?
22:50Now, look, John
22:51This time I want you to take one of these blood capsules
22:53Put it in your mouth
22:54Bite down on it during the fight
22:55So we get a good shot of the blood, huh?
22:56Okay
22:57I just had no idea that they were so rough
23:00He could really get hurt
23:01I've seen Mr. Wayne get hurt plenty of times
23:04You have?
23:05Sure
23:05Sometimes those stuntmen are so anxious
23:07To make things look good
23:08That they get carried away
23:10I'll say they do
23:11And I think this is one of the times they got carried away
23:13All right, folks
23:13It's a very important scene
23:15I want it to go well
23:16So quiet!
23:17Quiet!
23:18Quiet!
23:20Let's have it quiet
23:21All right, we'll overlap the action
23:25Where Chuck gets the knife from Helen, right?
23:26You ready?
23:27Make it good, gang
23:28Rolling!
23:29All right, I'm sure
23:56All right. All right, lady, that's all. Now you're going to have to leave.
24:17Oh, why should I leave? I'm Mr. Wayne's this fan. I didn't mean to hurt him. I didn't mean to do him any harm.
24:24Say nothing, Mr. Wayne. Goodbye, Emily.
24:30He called me, honey. He called me, honey.
24:54Oh, my God.
25:12Oh, my God.
