01.35 Ricky Asks for a Raise

Lucy Ricardo shows that sometimes she’s the reasonable one in this marriage when Ricky hears an offhanded comment and takes it way too far.

When Lucy finds her marriage license and sees a typo in Ricky’s name, she’s concerned that the Ricardo marriage might not be legal. So how does Ricky help that situation?
