Transcript

We present my favorite husband starring Lucille Ball with Richard Denny. This is the story of Mr. and Mrs. Cougar, the record of a Happy Mary. Two people who live together and like it. The comfortable front bedroom of the comfortable suburban home of the Cougar doesn't look very comfortable this morning.

Articles of clothing are strewn about the floor and across the bed. George hurriedly plows through the debris, getting dressed, while Liz tries to cram all of their things into three suitcases. Liz, dear, what's on Liz's stuff you're packing? We're only spending the weekend at your mother's, not the whole summer.

Well, I'm only taking the bare necessity slack, sun-suit, a few dresses, shoes, cosmetics, hoes, undies. Well, what have you packed for me? You're tooth-brushing trunks. Is that all? I want you to get a good tan.

Pack some clothes for me, scatterbran. I wish you were driving out to Mother's with me, George. No, it's impossible, darling. Can't miss my board meeting. I wonder what the surprise can be that Mother's been telling us about.

I'm afraid to guess. Her last surprise was the wrestler she was sponsoring. Remember him? He called himself the hawk. Oh, what a wrestler. And his first match, the hawk flew clear out of the ring.

Well, if she is another wrestler, I'll just throw him out of the house. Goody? Evidently, you've never heard of gorgeous George. You are gorgeous, George. Finish your packing. Where's my new bathing suit? I can't find it.

Your new bathing suit? Well, maybe a moth had a spare second to knead it. Here it is, and it isn't that skimpy. It's shameful. You're too prudish. You're too nudish. You should see Alastairm's bathing suit. She got arrested at the beach.
