"That's telling her!" #ilovelucy Now Streaming on #PlutoTV and Paramount+ #shortsAdded:
You hire her, you fire her.
>> Oh, I tried to and I couldn't. Well, why not? I got waterlogged.
>> [laughter] >> Huh? You you'll do it for me, won't you, Ricky? Honey, I haven't even met her.
Well, that's perfect. I'll introduce you. I'll say, "Mrs. Porter, this is my husband." You say, "How do you do?
You're fired."
Now, don't be silly. I told you I want you to run this house like a business.
Well, if you're afraid.
Me?
Afraid?
>> [laughter] >> Why, I could go in there right now and fire her just like that.
>> Well, go ahead. I will. I'll tell her.
Go right in there now.
That's telling her.
