Previous episode: Lucy Learns to Drive Next episode:First Stop http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s29/ABMfisher/ConfusingMap.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s29/ABMfisher/CarSinging.jpg Plot[]Lucy gets a letter from her mother, saying that she wants to accompany the Ricardos on their road trip to California. Ricky is so mad about the prospect of Lucy's mother coming along that he refers to the Mertzes as "tagging along." Ethel overhears this comment, and soon, she and Fred announce that they don't want to go on the trip, either. Soon everybody makes up with one another, and the big day arrives! Fred and Ricky pack the car with the suitcases, but the women want to add a bunch of new junk. In the end, Ricky says that they can send the excess luggage ahead to California. When it's time to leave, Mrs. McGillicuddy announces that she gets carsick, and she had no idea that it would take 2 weeks to get to Hollywood from New York. It's decided that Lucy's mother will stay with Little Ricky in New York until the Ricardos and Mertzes arrive in Hollywood, then fly out when they're settled. Finally on the road, the foursome happily sing "California, Here I Come" while driving across the George Washington Bridge. Trivia[]
Quotes[]
Lucy: She never remembers Ricky's last name. Ethel: Well, that isn't even close! Lucy: Yeah, but she's getting better. She refused to admit I was married at all until after the baby came.
Ethel: Oh, just wait 'til Mickey Richardson hears about THIS!
Ethel: "Mrs. McGillicuddy"? That's kind of formal, isn't it? Lucy: Well, sometimes, she forgets who she's writing to.
Mrs. McGilicuddy: That's what the bus driver tried to tell me. He seemed so ridiculous. It was only two blocks out of his way, and all he had to do was turn the steering wheel. Lucy: Do you mean to tell me you got the bus driver to leave his route and bring you right to our door? Mrs. McGillicuddy: I made a bargain with him. He promised to bring me here, and I promised never to ride on a New York bus again.
Ricky: No, I didn't even know that you could read... Lucy: Ricky!
Fred: Bon voyage!
Lucy: Our nice Pontiac- it looks like a laundry wagon!
Fred: Well, RIcky, you said you wanted to leave around 6, and I think we can just about make it!
