00:00The Lucy Show
00:12Starring Lucille Ball
00:17Co-starring Gail Gordon
00:30Good morning, Mr. Mooney.
00:53Good morning, Mrs. Carmango.
00:54Would you like some coffee in Danish?
00:56No. This morning, let's pretend that this is a bank and not a snack bar.
01:02Yes, sir.
01:04Now, would you kind of get busy and make a list of the appointments I have away from the office today?
01:10Yes, sir.
01:14What's the matter, Mr. Mooney? Did you get any sleep?
01:16I drove Mrs. Mooney to the airport at 5 o'clock this morning.
01:21Oh, I thought her flight was this afternoon.
01:24I wanted to make sure she wouldn't miss it.
01:30How long is she going to be gone?
01:32Well, she'll be visiting her mother for about a month.
01:35I arranged the whole trip as a birthday present.
01:38Oh, I didn't know it was her birthday.
01:40It's my birthday.
01:42Oh.
01:43Well, congratulations.
01:45Say, you just might get a big surprise for your birthday.
01:51What do you mean?
01:52Well, last night when I went to deliver some papers to Mr. Cheever's office, he wasn't there, see?
01:58And there just happened to be a letter on his desk.
02:02And I just happened to let it catch my eye, you know?
02:07And my eye just happened to catch what it said.
02:11And it said...
02:12Mrs. Carmichael, snooping like that is unethical and moral and downright dishonest.
02:19And you don't want to know what the letter said?
02:23Every word.
02:26It said that the president of our San Francisco bank is retiring at the end of this month.
02:32And that it's up to Mr. Cheever to select a replacement for him.
02:37President of the San Francisco branch.
02:41That job could only be handled by an outstanding executive.
02:45A man of integrity and intelligence.
02:48Oh, then you don't want the job?
02:52I was talking about me.
02:54Oh!
02:55Oh, well, then before he considers anyone else, why don't you go to him first and tell him how much you'd like the opportunity?
03:01Because if I bring it up, he'll know that somebody was snooping around his desk.
03:07Well, you could do it without him knowing that you know about the letter.
03:10How?
03:11Well, just drop little hints, you know, when you're around him.
03:14Like how you'd love to head up a bank and how you'd love to be a wonderful executive like he is.
03:20Mrs. Carmichael, I am not the kind of man who would stoop to hinting or deviousness.
03:26I just thought if you'd butter him up a little...
03:28And I am too proud to butter up the boss.
03:32Now, Mooney!
03:33Oh, Mr. Cheever!
03:35How about you, sir?
03:37Mooney, I have just closed the Benson deal.
03:40And on our terms.
03:41Incredible!
03:43Mr. Cheever, you certainly know how to get things done.
03:47It is amazing that just one man could have so much vitality, perseverance, and executive ability.
03:56Well, Mooney, I've never been showered with such praise.
04:00Or butter.
04:03Just keep busy.
04:05Get these contracts in the mail.
04:08You know, Mr. Cheever, it's executives like you who inspire ambition in others.
04:15You make a man like me want to be like you, doing what you're doing.
04:20Doing what I'm doing.
04:22Being president of a bank.
04:24Running the whole show.
04:26Mooney, if you're thinking of taking over my job, forget it.
04:29You and your advice.
04:34Now he thinks I'm after his job.
04:37Well, I was only trying to help.
04:38Oh, never mind.
04:39I didn't expect you to say anything like that.
04:40I've got to get out of here.
04:41I have an appointment.
04:42Oh, and don't forget your luncheon engagement with your old fraternity brother or Mr. Williams.
04:47Oh, yes.
04:48Ernie.
04:49Oh, good old Ernie.
04:50What a card he is.
04:51I haven't seen that rascal for ages.
04:52Oh, golly, Ernie.
04:53I'll see.
04:54Just because I want to get out of here.
04:55You and your advice.
04:56Now he thinks I'm after his job.
04:57Well, I was only trying to help.
04:58Oh, never mind.
04:59I didn't expect you to say anything like that.
05:00I've got to get out of here.
05:01I have an appointment.
05:02Just because I won't be here, that doesn't mean that you can take a two-hour lunch break.
05:09Oh, don't worry, Mr. Mooney.
05:10I've got so much work, I'll probably just have to skip lunch.
05:14Well, it won't do you any harm.
05:32Ernie!
05:33Cherry boy!
05:34You old alpha beta gamma, you!
05:35Alpha beta gamma!
05:39Oh, oh!
05:40Oh, oh!
05:41Oh!
05:42Oh!
05:43Oh!
05:44Oh!
05:45Oh!
05:46Oh!
05:47Oh!
05:48Oh!
05:49Oh!
05:50Oh!
05:51Oh!
05:52Oh!
05:53Oh!
05:54Oh!
05:55Oh!
05:56Oh!
05:57Oh!
05:58Oh!
05:59Oh!
06:00Robity gay.
06:01Rooty choot-toot.
06:02We are the boys from the institute.
06:03Elephant hide and tiger meat, don't fall out of the rumble seat!
06:09Oh, my. Gee, it's good to see you.
06:23Long time, no see.
06:25Yeah, long time, no see.
06:30Or, as the sailor said when his watch fell overboard,
06:34Long see, no time.
06:36Long see, no time.
06:39Oh, I like that, long see.
06:42Pardon me. Wouldn't you gentlemen care for a drink?
06:45Oh, yes, indeed. What'll you have, uh...
06:47Ernie, Ernie, how about our old fraternity special?
06:53Good idea.
06:54All right.
06:56Uh, we'll both have slow gin and root beer.
07:05Slow gin and root beer?
07:07No ice.
07:15Ernie, you rascal, you, you haven't changed a bit since college.
07:20Oh, college, college, those were the fun days.
07:26Oh, yeah.
07:26See, you remember that time I fixed you up with a blind date?
07:30I told you it was with the homecoming queen,
07:32but instead it was with that girl shot putter
07:35with the butch haircut and the buck teeth.
07:39Yeah, yeah.
07:40Oh, she had a kooky name.
07:42I can't think of it now.
07:45Klottendorf.
07:47Klottendorf.
07:49Klottendorf.
07:51You'd think with a name like that, she'd have changed it.
07:54She did.
07:54It's now Mrs. Mooney.
08:05I didn't know.
08:09I'm sorry.
08:10You're sorry.
08:18Well, let's get to something else.
08:21Now, how about having some lunch, Ernie?
08:24Let's look at this over.
08:25Oh, that looks good.
08:26Ernie.
08:27What?
08:27Listen to this.
08:28Enter our contest for Boss of the Year Award.
08:34The title will be awarded on the basis of the best letter
08:37singing the praises of the contestant's boss.
08:43Anything I'd write about my boss, I'd have to write on a wall.
08:49Yeah, yeah, I feel the same way.
08:52But I'm being considered for an important job in San Francisco.
08:55If I could get this award for my boss, I'd be set.
09:01Well, maybe have somebody down at the bank who majored in literature.
09:05And as a talent for writing could help you out.
09:07Oh, no, no, no.
09:07I wouldn't want anyone at the bank to know that I'd enter this contest.
09:12Why not?
09:12Well, they'd think I was buttering up the boss.
09:16Besides, if I lost, I'd be the laughingstock of every coffee break.
09:20Well, if you'd won, they'd have to know.
09:22If I won, it wouldn't matter.
09:24I'd be on my way to San Francisco.
09:27Oh, of course.
09:29Well, let's work on it.
09:30Here you are, gentlemen.
09:32Hmm.
09:33Slow gin and root beer.
09:36Ah.
09:42Only a coward won't drink it down.
09:44I'd forgotten how good that is.
10:01Oh, hi, Mary Jane.
10:17I thought you were Mr. Mooney.
10:18You ready to leave?
10:19No, I can't leave until Mr. Mooney comes back, but he ought to be here in a few minutes.
10:22What are you trying to hide?
10:24Oh, I was just writing a letter.
10:26Well, the Business Men's Club is having a contest for Boss of the Year.
10:31And I was hoping I could write a letter that could win it for Mr. Mooney.
10:36But I don't want him to know about it.
10:38You see, he's up for a big job in San Francisco.
10:41And I thought that this award might impress Mr. Cheever enough to get Mr. Mooney that job.
10:45The way he treats you and you want him named Boss of the Year, boy, that's loyalty.
10:51Loyalty schmoyalty, Mary Jane.
10:53I figure if he goes to San Francisco, any new boss I get will be an improvement.
10:58Oh, hello, Mr. Mooney.
11:00Oh, hello, Mr. Carmichael.
11:01You know my girlfriend.
11:02Oh, hello, baby Jane.
11:05Mary Jane.
11:06Oh, I'm sorry.
11:08Well, you can run along, Mrs. Carmichael.
11:11I have work to do.
11:12Oh, won't you need me for dictation or anything?
11:14Oh, no, no, no. This work is of a confidential nature.
11:17It's personal, personal, personal.
11:18Oh, okay, Mr. Mooney.
11:19Goodbye, Mr. Manning.
11:20Goodbye, Mary Jane.
11:21Thank you, and good night.
11:22Good night, good night.
11:24To look at my boss, Mr. Cheever, one can see...
11:46To look at my boss, Mr. Cheever, one can see that he is considerate.
12:05To look at my boss...
12:24To look at my boss...
12:26To look at my boss...
12:56Mr. Cheever, one can see that he is a lot like Abraham Lincoln.
13:01Considerate, kind, and intelligent.
13:05A man of great character and dignity.
13:08Although bankers have a reputation as cold, hard businessmen,
13:18our Mr. Cheever operates with great warmth and compassion.
13:23He is admired for his ability to get things done.
13:27Among his fellow workers, he is known as Cheever the Achiever.
13:32The merry twinkle in his eye reflects the glorious sense of humor...
13:36That endears him to those of us who serve this faithful man...
13:42who is for the people, of the people, and by the people.
13:49Well, here are you.
13:55Oh, you're good.
13:56showcase, you're great at sulla anders individualist 일시�로 보� trendfor micro networkku.
13:59Congratulations.
13:59TURCHIC.
14:00Oh, what's the matter, Lucy?
14:08Oh, it's no use.
14:10I can never get this boss of the year letter finished in time for the contest.
14:14Aren't you making any progress at all?
14:16Well, I was going real good, and then I got stuck.
14:19Well, why don't you read to me what you have so far, and maybe I can help you.
14:23All right.
14:25I consider my employer, Mr. Theodore J. Mooney,
14:28a wonderful boss for the following reasons.
14:33Go on.
14:34That's where I got stuck.
14:37Oh, it's no use.
14:38I could never write a good enough letter to win the contest anyway.
14:42Yeah, it's pretty hard to sing the praises of a boss like Mr. Mooney.
14:47Hey!
14:48What?
14:49That's it!
14:50What's it?
14:51Sing the praises.
14:53Maybe I should write my letter in the form of a song.
14:55Oh, you mean like lyrics?
14:57Yeah, that would really be singing the praises of my boss.
15:00That's a wonderful idea, Lucy.
15:02And then we think of songs that describe what working for Mr. Mooney is really like.
15:09How about plenty of nothing?
15:12I mean songs that are complimentary.
15:15Like what?
15:16Well, well, uh, how about who's wonderful, who's marvelous, Mr. Mooney?
15:25Hey, that's cute.
15:26Oh, I write that down.
15:28Yes.
15:29And, uh, when the Mooney comes over the mountain.
15:33Very good.
15:35Yeah.
15:35I don't know about that.
15:35Oh, how about Mooney, how I love you, how I love you, my dear boss Mooney.
15:41Yeah.
15:42That's good, good.
15:44Uh, oh, I'm in love with Mr. Mooney.
15:50Can I be able to use that?
15:52Yeah.
15:52Mooney and Rose.
15:58Oh, yeah.
15:59Is that good?
16:00Yeah.
16:01Oh, and Mooney River.
16:08You know you have a nice voice.
16:09Say, you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me.
16:27Mooney, will you please stop playing games and tell me why you insisted that I come here tonight.
16:45You know how I hate these things.
16:47Well, now, now, Mr. Cheever, you see that sign?
16:50The Boss of the Year Awards?
16:52Huh?
16:53Well, when I got my tickets, they had a little note enclosed, and it said that my presence here tonight would have special significance.
17:03What has that got to do with me?
17:05Well, don't you see, sir, the whole idea of the contest is that the contestants send in complimentary letters about their employers and the best...
17:16Oh, but why spoil the surprise?
17:21Oh...
17:21Oh, Lucy, there's Mr. Mooney and Mr. Cheever.
17:35Oh, yes.
17:36You didn't tell him you entered him in the contest, did you?
17:39Of course not.
17:40Come on.
17:41Hello.
17:42Hello.
17:43Oh, hello.
17:44Hello, Mrs. Carmichael.
17:46What are you doing here?
17:47Well, I thought some of the gang from the bank might be here.
17:49Would you like to join us?
17:51Oh, thank you.
17:55Very nice.
17:56Oh, very nice.
17:57A place of wonderful.
17:59Would you?
18:01Oh, that's all.
18:01Oh, thank you.
18:03Oh, thank you.
18:06Oh, thank you.
18:06Oh, thank you.
18:16Oh, thank you.
18:52Now, ladies and gentlemen...
18:54Ladies and gentlemen, the moment we've all been waiting for...
18:58The Boss of the Year Award.
19:03The winning letter was received from an employee of the Westland Bank.
19:09Now, I would like the contestant who wrote the winning letter to step this way, please.
19:14Lucille Carmichael.
19:17When our contestants were invited to sing the praises of the boss, Mrs. Carmichael took us literally.
19:37And since her words are set to music, we think it would be a good idea to let her sing them to you herself.
19:45Oh, really?
19:46Oh, yes.
19:47Oh, no.
19:48I'd like to pay my boss a tribute.
19:55Sing his praises loud and clear.
19:58As a banker, Mr. Mooney has a record you should hear.
20:06The Boss of the Year Award.
20:07The Boss of the Year Award.
20:08The Boss of the Year Award.
20:09The Boss of the Year Award.
20:10That's not what we've done.
20:11The Boss of the Year Award.
20:12That were new
20:13Followed by mortgage deeds
20:16Springing up like weeds
20:18For clothes when they were overdue
20:21There were Christmas clubs
20:24And savings plans he improvised
20:26Compounding, compounding
20:29Interest all the way
20:30New interest rates and tax rebates
20:33He organized
20:34Highly prized by MCBA
20:38He bought 50 big computers
20:41For the auditing
20:42Computing, computing
20:45With no time to lose
20:47Big machines of every size
20:49One human man who multiplies
20:51In case the darn machine
20:53Should blow a fuse
20:54Oh, thanks
20:59For the memory
21:01Of a boss I think is great
21:05Not a single cranky trait
21:07He doesn't even holler
21:10On the days I come in late
21:12How lovely he is
21:16Oh, thanks
21:18For the memory
21:20Of the patience that he takes
21:24Overlooking my mistakes
21:26He even buys the donuts
21:29When I take my coffee breaks
21:31How thoughtful he is
21:35Many's the time that we quarrel
21:39And many's the time that he'd fire me
21:44But then, in the end, he'd rehire me
21:49You'll never find a boss so kind
21:55So thanks
21:57For the memory
21:59Of comforts he installed
22:03Like hi-fi in the walls
22:06Not going out to lunch
22:08So he'll be there to take my calls
22:10I thank you
22:12So much
22:16It's six short years
22:19That I hope for him
22:20Seventy-two great months
22:23Filled with cheer
22:24There were happy days
22:27He surprised me
22:28Till the rays
22:29Let's salute
22:30The
22:31Balls
22:32Of the year
22:34And now, let's get the man up here
22:51Of the boss of the year
22:52Mr. Theodore J. Mooney
22:54Mr. Mooney, I bet I know how you feel
23:05Oh, you have no idea
23:07Folks, I think it would be appropriate
23:11To have the boss of the year
23:12Trophy presented by his boss
23:14Mr. Winfield Cheever
23:16I consider it a privilege and an honor
23:28To present this award to this employee of mine
23:31In whom I have had such confidence and faith
23:35As a matter of fact, only this morning
23:38I dictated a letter
23:39Appointing Mr. Mooney
23:41The president of the Westland Bank
23:44In San Francisco
23:45However
23:53As we all know
23:56There are bigger things in life
23:58Than business achievements
24:00And material success
24:01And seeing this bond of loyalty
24:04Between this secretary and her boss
24:08I am going to see that Mr. Mooney stays with us
24:12So that our happy family
24:14At the Westland Bank
24:16Can remain together
24:18Okay, everybody
24:23Let's hear it for Mr. Mooney
