Lucy Plays CupidEpisode Number: 15 Season Num: 1 First Aired: January 21, 1952 Prod Code: 015 |
Miss Lewis, the Ricardo's elderly neighbor, requests Lucy's assistance in getting the attention of Mr. Ritter, the elderly grocery man whom she is sweet on. Lucy readily agrees to give Mr. Ritter a dinner invitation for Miss Lewis. The first complication arises when Lucy shares the news with Ricky, who spanks Lucy for interfering and makes her promise to give the note back to Miss Lewis. But, when Lucy proceeds to give Mr. Ritter the note anyway, he misunderstands and thinks the invitation is from Lucy herself. This leads to an unsuccessful plan by Lucy to discourage Mr. Ritter and Ricky's telling Mr. Ritter that he can have her. In spite of all these unintended mishaps, Mr. Ritter and Miss Lewis do in fact wind up together, never to be seen on any future episode.

Mr. Ritter: Steak, haven't had it for months. We have them down at my store, but I can't afford to buy them.

Miss Lewis: Look, elderberry wine. I made it myself. It's been fermenting since I was 21 years old.
Lucy: Twenty-one! Must have quite a tang by now.
Miss Lewis: I thought Mr. Ritter and I could have a couple of belts before dinner. (edit) Miss Lewis: I thought that we'd eat by candlelight, because they say it makes you look younger.
Lucy: Oh, yes, that's right.
Miss Lewis: Maybe I'll look like a girl of 50 again huh?
Lucy: Oh, easily. (edit) Lucy: They might even get married, and then they'll thank me.
Ricky: She'll thank you; he'll sue you.
Lucy: Well is that the way you feel about marriage?
Ricky: No, honey of course not. I think marriage is wonderful. Why, I think marriage is the greatest thing in the whole world. It's the only way to live. But if the guy had been clever enough to escape it this long, why louse him up now?
Lucy: What?
Ricky: Honey, I didn't mean it.
Lucy: I suppose you weren't clever enough.
Ricky: Well, honey,... now, ... I mean, uh...Well I could have been clever enough, but you were so cute I decided to play dumb. (edit)
