Lucy jumps out of her seat and Ricky asks what is going on. Lucy replies by saying, "just bring a knife and a fork and a _____ and follow me to the biggest barbecue in the world."

Answer: bottle of ketchup

After escaping the freezer, Lucy is warming up in the apartment, when Fred pops in to see how she was doing. Ricky smells something and Ethel says that it smells like a roast.

She tells the other three to follow her to a big barbecue!
