I Love Lucy (1951) s05e17 Episode Script
Lucy Goes to Scotland
("I Love Lucy" theme song playing) ANNOUNCER: And now, "I Love Lucy.
" (applause) Oh, honey, what a show! That scene where the girl sacrificed herself to save the whole village- well, it was just wonderful.
Isn't that great? Yeah, and weren't those Scotch costumes colorful? The men in the kilts and the bagpipes and the sword dance! Oh, gee, I enjoyed it.
Yeah, I did, too.
Ricky, I've got an idea! No! You don't even know what it is.
Oh, yes, I do.
You want to go to Scotland and look up your mother's relatives.
You think you're so smart.
That wasn't it at all.
That was the farthest thing from my mind.
All right, what was your idea? Well, why can't we go to Scotland? I promised Mother that, that I'd look up some of the McGillicuddy clan.
Maybe bring back a bolt of the family plaid, you know.
Just forget it.
Oh, why, honey? No.
(knock at door) Scotland isn't very far.
Come in! It wouldn't take very long to go to Scotland.
Hi, honey! Oh, hi, hi! We waited up to see how you like the show.
Oh, I just loved it! What is that? Well, it's a dragon.
I bought it to take home for little Ricky.
I thought it was something different.
Well, it's different all right.
Well, I have never seen anything like this before.
Really? Well, when I was a kid, they had toy dragons.
When you were a kid, they had real dragons.
Well, it certainly is a ferocious-looking beast.
ETHEL: Do you think it'll scare little Ricky? Oh, no, he'll love it.
Ethel, how would you like to go to Scotland? Scotland! Yeah.
Yeah, she wants to go to Scotland to look for some of her mother's relatives.
Look, honey, Scotland is a big place.
You can't just get off the train and walk up to someone and say, "Take me to the nearest McGillicuddy.
" I know just where to look.
My great-great-great-grandfather was Angus McGillicuddy.
He lived in the wee town of Kildoonan in Northern Scotland.
It's between Golspie and Ullapool.
Oh, you must have made that up.
I did not.
Now, look, all I want to do is send a wire up there and see if any of our relatives are still around.
All right.
I'd like to hear you explain to the operator about Gillhooly between Galespie and Babalu and the Cranafranz.
Aa-ah! Hello, uh, I'd like to send a telegram, please.
Good night, honey.
Good night, baby.
(makes kissing sounds) (chuckling) Angus McGillicuddy.
(laughing harder) What's so funny about Angus McGillicuddy? Oh, nothing, nothing.
It's a very ordinary, everyday name.
I know a hundred of them.
You should talk.
I'll bet your great-great-great- grandfather's name was probably Enchilada Ricardo.
All right, good night.
'Night.
Oh, you take the high road And I'll take the low road (mimics bagpipes playing song) Lucy, turn off those bagpipes! (song fading out) Now go to sleep.
Aye, laddie! Good night.
Hoot mon! (townspeople murmuring) Calm yourselves, my friends, calm yourselves! Mayor Ferguson, is there noo way to save our happy home? Noo, there's noo way.
As you're all aware, the ferocious dragon comes to Kildoonan every 30 years to eat a McGillicuddy, and for the first time in our history, there's not a single member of old Angus McGillicuddy's clan left to throw to the monster.

RICKY (sotto voce): A McGillicuddy is here.
A McGillicuddy is here.
Are you a McGillicuddy? That's right.
My name is Lucy.
I'm sorry, Miss Lucy.
I kinna let you pass.
Why not? I'm your bodyguard.
I'm Scotty MacTavish MacDougall MacArdo.
You're Scotch? Aye.
My great-great- great-grandfather sailed to Scotland with the Spanish Armada.
Perhaps you've heard of him- Enchilada Ricardo.
Why are you lookin' at me like that, Scotty MacTavish MacDougall MacArdo? Lucy, you gaha maha pihee face.
"I gaha "maha pihee face"? I believe I'm in love with ye.
With me? Aye.
Little old heather-pickin' me? It was love at firrrst sight.
But woe is me! What's the matter? You're in grave danger.
Why? They're going to throw a McGillicuddy to the dragon tomorrow.
They're going to throw me to a dragon? Aye.
Every 30 years, they throw a McGillicuddy to the two terrible two-headed dragon for his dinner.
No wonder I'm the last of the McGillicuddys! I'm in love with the dragon's dinner The dragon's embraceable dinner I'll swear my love will e'er be true I'll serve ye with all me heart But the hungry dragon will serve ye, too He'll serve ye a la carte He'll serve me a la carte?

Why does it always have to be a McGillicuddy the dragon eats? Oh, that's life, lassie.

Boy, am I starved! Me, too! Mmm Won't it be good to sink our teeth into a nice, fresh McGillicuddy? Aye, yummy, yummy, yum! How will we have it this time? How about a McGillicuddy burger? Nah, no.
Well, what about McGillicuddy foo yong? Oh, no! Why not? Well, we only eat once every 30 years.
You know how that Chinese food is- you eat it and a year later, you're hungry.
Well, I still want a McGillicuddy foo yong.
Well, I don't! Well, I do! Well, I don't! I do! Oh, who ever said two heads are better than one? Aah (music begins) Two heads are nae better than one, than one They're not even better than none, than none So pity a two-headed dragon Two heads are nae better than one Hoot mon! Hoot mon! Whenever I come to a fork in the road My heads have a terrible fight My right head wants to go to the left And my left wants to go to the right! I want to go this way! I want to go that! You see, we could never agree.
Oh, I wish we had another head to be the referee! Hoot mon! Hoot mon! However, there's one good reason for an extra head to keep.
When I'm too tired to stay awake, I sing myself to sleep.
Sleep gently, sweet dragon Just close your wee eyes And dream of a dinner Of fresh people pie The dragon is dreaming In slumber so deep Now get up! Why did you wake me up? Because I want to sleep and you I don't want you sleeping.
I want to sleep.
Oh LADY DRAGON: Shh! I think I hear somebody coming! Fee, fi, foe, fuddy, I smell the blood of a McGillicuddy! Ha! (growling and snarling) (roaring) Hi.

Well, then I guess tomorrow you're you're really going to eat me.
(ravenous growling) (wolf whistle) What are you whistling at? Get a load of those drumsticks! I kinna let you go, Lucy.
I will fight the dragon with my bare hands.
You'll fight the dragon for me? For bonnie Annie Lucy, I will lay me doon and dee.
(music begins) There are moments in a maiden's life when her days are pure as bliss.
But the moment of them all, the moment I'll recall, the blissest of the bliss is this.
For today you will slay me a dragon, my darling, my hero, I'm thrilled.
Ah.
It's like we're in a fairy tale, except you'll probably get killed.
But for 32 bars, let's sing and act merrily.
Life is ours Temporarily.
(upbeat music playing) TOWNSPEOPLE: It's time for romance, so darling let's dance The dragon waltz Your life is nill till you know the thrill Of the dragon waltz.

Didn't you, Scotty? Well What do you mean, "well"? You just said for bonnie Annie Lucy, you would lay you down and die.

Oh, I wish we had another head to be the referee! Hoot mon! Hoot mon! However, there's one good reason for an extra head to keep.
When I'm too tired to stay awake, I sing myself to sleep.
Sleep gently, sweet dragon Just close your wee eyes And dream of a dinner Of fresh people pie The dragon is dreaming In slumber so deep Now get up! Why did you wake me up? Because I want to sleep and you I don't want you sleeping.
I want to sleep.
Oh LADY DRAGON: Shh! I think I hear somebody coming! Fee, fi, foe, fuddy, I smell the blood of a McGillicuddy! Ha! (growling and snarling) (roaring) Hi.
Hi! Hi.

I will fight the dragon with my bare hands.
You'll fight the dragon for me? For bonnie Annie Lucy, I will lay me doon and dee.
(music begins) There are moments in a maiden's life when her days are pure as bliss.
But the moment of them all, the moment I'll recall, the blissest of the bliss is this.
For today you will slay me a dragon, my darling, my hero, I'm thrilled.
Ah.
It's like we're in a fairy tale, except you'll probably get killed.
But for 32 bars, let's sing and act merrily.
Life is ours Temporarily.
(upbeat music playing) TOWNSPEOPLE: It's time for romance, so darling let's dance The dragon waltz Your life is nill till you know the thrill Of the dragon waltz.

Didn't you, Scotty? Well What do you mean, "well"? You just said for bonnie Annie Lucy, you would lay you down and die.
