Lucy on Weakest Link

I Love Lucy
Weakest Link

"This is the Weakest Link!" Anne Robinson smirks as she smiles at her quiz victims. The light shines on Lucy Ricardo. Lucy looks around in complete shock.

"My goodness! The lights!" Lucy says covering her face with her hat.

"Mrs. Ricardo if you would ever be so kind, please introduce yourself," Anne says.

"But, why are their so bright of lights? And what is up with the sound?" Lucy asks.

"Mrs. Ricardo!" Anne scolds.

"Oh. Are we on television?" Lucy says with a huge smile. Anne nods with a smirk.

"Oh! Hi Fred! Hi Ethel!" Lucy waves to the camera. "What type of camera is this?"

"Mrs. Ricardo! Fred and Ethel Mertz are in this room," Anne says getting very aggravated. "Mrs. Ricardo. Please introduce yourself."

"Okay, okay," Lucy says fixing her hat. "My name is Lucy Ricardo. I'm the wife of Ricky Ricardo. He's right next to me. He is a Cuban singer. He owns a club and-"

"Mrs. Ricardo! Ricky will introduce himself!" Anne says. "Take the light off of Lucy now!" The blue light leaves Lucy and appears on Ricky.

"Uh...Hi. My name is Ricky Ricardo. I am a Cuban singer and I own a club called, Club Babaloo," Ricky says. The light then shines on Ethel. "My name is Ethel Mertz. I am a land lady of an apartment."

"My name is Fred Mertz. I am the land lord of the apartment," Fred says bowing his head. The light shines on Lucy's and Ethel's friend, Caroline Applebee.

"My name is Caroline Applebee. I am treasurer of a small Women's Club," Caroline says. The light leaves Caroline and appears on Marium Strong.

"This light is gorgeous! Hahaha ha!" Marium cackles.

"Oh no. Not another one!" Anne sulks.

"Oh! My name is Marium Strong," Marium says. "I'm a Canasta player."

"Is that all?" Anne says raising an eyebrow.

"Well, I'm a house wife, too," Marium says with a whiny voice.

"Stupid woman," Anne sulks. Marium begins to laugh.

"Will you stop cackling! That wasn't a joke," Anne yells. The light then shines on the guest celebrity Bob Hope.

"My name is Bob Hope. I am 39. I am an actor," Bob Hope says.

"Bob Hope! Oh joy!" Lucy walks away from her stand and walks over to Bob Hope and grabs his hand.

"Lucy! Get back to your spot!" Anne commands.

"But, I want to shake Bob's hand," Lucy whines.

"Go back to your spot!" Anne repeats herself. Lucy sulks and walks back to her spot.

"This is the Weakest Link! You will answer questions. Each question you answer correctly, you get a certain amount of money. If you answer a question wrong, you lose all your money that round. But, if you say bank, that money goes into the next round. Each round, you will vote off one of the players. The person with the most votes is eliminated," Anne explains. "We'll start with Lucy. Lets play, the Weakest Link!" The lights flash and the volume of the sound effects increases. Lucy looks around the room with a huge smile. The other contestants are also surprised with the lights and sound effects.

"Lucy. What cereal uses the slogan, 'We Eat What We Like'?" Anne asks.

"'We Eat What We Like'? Cereal? How about Cracker Jacks?"

"No. The correct answer is Apple Jacks," Anne says. She turns to face Ricky. "Ricky. Who was the first president of the United States?"

"George Washington," Ricky answers.

"Correct," Anne says and turns to Ethel.

"Wait a minute!" Lucy interrupts. "That is an easy question! Why didn't I get that?"

"Mrs. Ricardo! Please don't interrupt!" Anne yells.

"But I don't think it is fair-"

"Honey. Please," Ricky says. Lucy sighs.

"Ethel. In an episode of the 80's TV show, Diff'rent Strokes, who said 'what you talkin' about, Willis'?" Anne asks.

"80's? Aren't we in the 50's?" Ethel asks.

"No, Ethel. It is 2001," Anne answers.

"Wait a minute!" Lucy interrupts again. "I know it is 1954. We are no where near the year 2001!"

"Lucy! Yes we are. Now if you would be so kind, SHUT UP!" Anne says. Lucy drops her mouth wide-open, "honestly!"

"Honestly, I think you're stupid," Anne says. "Ethel. You're answer please."

Ethel opens her mouth, but before she can speak Lucy does.

"I am not stupid!" Lucy walks over to Anne. "Don't you ever call me stupid!"

"Lets take a commercial break," Anne says as Lucy continually yells at her. The lights fade and the sound softens. A commercial takes the screen.
