Lucy Builds a Rumpus Room

[chedderchester]

Watching that episode right now--hysterical.

 

I love how when Lucy uncovers all the stuff hidden around the house, she pulls out the trout from inside a baguette with this big smile. I love it. Her timing is perfect when Viv arrives home and Lucy gets startled and throws the ice. Hiding all the stuff around the house is exactly like Lucy & The Paris Gown when she was on the "hunger strike."

 

I can imagine the script for this.

 

EXIT VIVIAN. LUCY IS NOW ALONE AND GETS READY FOR HER DATE. SHE RUNS INTO THE CLOSET AND REMOVES HER SKIRT TO REVEAL PANTS. SHE PUTS ON HIGH HEEL SHOES. SHE RUNS OVER TO THE TABLE AND PULLS OUT A TABLECLOTH. SHE PUTS THE TABLE CLOTH ON THE TABLE AND GRABS CANDLES, SILVERWARE, SALT & PEPPER SHAKERS, SALAD DRESSINGS. SHE LIGHTS BOTH THE CANDLES. SHE RUNS OVER TO THE LAMP AND REMOVES THE SHADE TO REVEAL A SALAD BOWL. SHE PUTS IT ON THE TABLE AND RUNS INTO THE KITCHEN AND PULLS A BAGUETTE OUT FROM THE FRIDGE--AND INSIDE IS A LARGE TROUT. FEELING ELATED, SHE PUTS THE TROUT IN A ROASTING PAN THAT HAS BEEN IN THE OVEN, AND ADDS ALMONDS, SALT, PEPPER, COOKING SHERRY, AND PUTS IT BACK IN THE OVEN. SHE RUNS BACK INTO THE LIVING ROOM CLOSET AND PULLS OUT A LARGE RUBBER BOOT, CONTAINING A BOTTLE OF WINE AND ICE. SHE REMOVES A FERN FROM IT'S POT, WHICH IS THE ICE BUCKET--AND POURS THE ICE INSIDE, AND THE WINE BOTTLE TO CHILL. JUST THEN SHE HEARS A CAR PULL UP, ITS VIV. LUCY POURS THE WINE AND ICE BACK INTO THE BOOT, PUTS THE FERN BACK IN THE BUCKET, THROWS THE BOOT BACK IN THE CLOSET AND PUTS HER SKIRT BACK ON. SHE QUICKLY RUNS OVER TO THE TABLE, PUTS THE SALAD BOWL ON THE BUFFET AND SCOOPS UP THE TABLECLOTH, CANDLES AND ALL, AND THROWS IT IN THE CLOSET. SHE GRABS THE SALAD BOWL AND PUTS IT BACK INSIDE THE LAMP. FINALLY, SHE GRABS A CAN OF PINE SCENTED AIR FRESHENER OUT OF THE CLOSET AND SPRAYS IT--TO REMOVE THE SMELL OF FISH BAKING IN THE OVEN. LUCY DUCKS INTO THE KITCHEN. ENTER VIVIAN AND EDDIE.

 

Does that sound right?
