This is Let's Talk to Lucy starring Lucille Ball. A very warm welcome to you all. I'm Gary Morton,

and now let's talk to Lucy. Hi, this is Lucy. If you were in California, wouldn't you like to visit

Gypsy Rose Lee? Well, that's what I'm doing today.

The incomparable Gypsy invited me to her hillside Mediterranean castle in the air.

And I always love to visit Gypsy anywhere in the world

because it's always like a day at Disneyland plus the zoo.

You see, Jip never travels alone, always with her menagerie. And Jip never just

settles in an ordinary house. It's always a fantastic, out of the way, out of the ordinary,

fabulous something or other. Hi, Gypsy doll. Hello, Lucy. I'm very pleased to be up here today.

This is my first visit to your Mediterranean castle, your Italian Riviera abode.

I like what you call it.

I have other names for it, of course.

I call it early glorious Watson or sort of a cross between Mediterranean Gothic.

How do you find these wonderful places?

I was visiting a friend of mine up in Truesdale.

That's the hill over from me at dinner one night,

and she pointed down the hill and said,

Gypsy, right down there is the most wonderful, dilapidated,

beat-up mansion of a place, gypsy, it looks just like you.

She was so bright.

Oh, dear.

What descriptive adjectives.
