Frank Gannucci 04-12-2017, 10:29 PM (The NY Rangers beat the Montreal Canadiens 2-0.)
(Ralph & Ed get onto the subway.)
Ralph: "Wow! What a game Norton. Those Rangers made Montreal look like idiots."
Ed: "They are already idiots for spelling Canadians on their jerseys wrong. It's c-a-n-a-d-I-a-n-s. Not c-a-n-a-d-I-e-n-s."
Ralph: "You can say that again Norton. They say that hockey is the national past time in Canada."
Ed: "You are right there Ralph. I always wanted to go to Canada just so I can see what the Canadian sewers look like."
(Ralph rolls his eyes.)
Ralph: "What a great Easter present it would be than us watching the game in your apartment and watching the Rangers win game 2."
Ed: "In other words Ralph, you will be the Easter bunny in my house. But, knowing you, YOU would eat all the candy."
Ralph: "Oooooh, you are a REAL RIOT Norton."
Ed: "I think the Rangers will win and I think after you celebrate, you would get a heart attack from all the candy you ate."
(The doors open.)
Ralph (yells): "GET OUT! GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET OUT!"
(Ed leaves.)
(Jackie walks on stage. Crowd cheers.)
Jackie: "Thank you. GOOD NIGHT!"
(Crowd cheers.)
Frank Gannucci 04-14-2017, 10:39 PM (The Montreal Canadiens beat the NY Rangers 4-3.)
(Ralph just watched the game with Ed at the Raccoon Lodge.)
Ralph: "What a louse game Norton. How could the Rangers let that one slip away and with 17 seconds left?"
Ed: "Ralph, it was a dark, dark day."
Ralph: "I thought for a second that the Rangers would win it and go into game 3, two games ahead."
Ed: "Now, the odds are even. I wonder how that Rangers goalie feels about letting that puck slip away."
Ralph: "If I was a goalie, I would be the best goalie in hockey. No puck would ever get past me."
Ed: "Yeah, your whole body would cover the goal. Hahahaha!"
Ralph: "Do you wanna fat lip Norton?"
Ed: "That goalie letting that puck slip by with 17 seconds left reminds me of another person who that situation would happen to."
Ralph: "Who?"
Ed: "You."
Ralph (yells): "ALL RIGHT NORTON! PUT 'EM UP! PUT 'EM UP!"
(People try to separate the two.)
(Jackie walks on stage. Crowd cheers.)
Jackie: "Thank you. The Miami Beach crowds are the BEST! GOOD NIGHT!"
Frank Gannucci 04-16-2017, 09:56 PM (The Montreal Canadiens beat the NY Rangers 3-1.)
(Ed meets Ralph for lunch at the Gotham Bus Company locker room. He goes inside. Crowd cheers. Ralph comes in. Crowd cheers.)
Ed: "Hiya Ralph-ie boy! How was your Easter?"
Ralph: "Terrible. I had to spend it with my blabbermouth of a mother-in-law but also I had to learn that the Rangers got clobbered by the Canadiens."
Ed: "3 goals to 1."
Ralph: "Don't remind me Norton. I thought that the Rangers had this series in the bag."
Ed: "You mean the hockey net."
Ralph: "Yes, I do. What a bad game. To make matters worse, I think that that BUM Joe Fenstablau is on his way over. He is going to toot his horn about the Rangers losing."
Ed: "I can tell what he is going to say: 'Those Rangers are LOSERS Ralph. They will never win.'"
Ralph: "I don't think he will sway that."
(Joe Fenstablau comes in.)
Joe: "Hey you two. Those Rangers are LOSERS Ralph. They will never win.'"
Ralph (looks at Ed): "Don't smirk. Joe told you."
Ed: "He did not. If you want proof, I can take a lie detector test."
Joe: "Looks like those Rangers will get destroyed."
Ralph: "I beg to differ. I think that Montreal will be in for a big surprise. I would love for the Rangers to win the round at Montreal's home arena: 'The Bell Centre."
Ed: "I like to point out that whoever made that name made a typo. They spelled center wrong."
Ralph: "You stupe Norton. That is the way Canadians spell that word."
Ed: "Oh."
(Ralph rolls his eyes.)
Joe: "How about another bet Ralph? If the Rangers get ousted out of the first round, you have to wear a dress. If the Rangers don't, I will."
Ralph: "You got yourself a bet. But, I am telling you. I am not going to wear a dress because the Rangers will not get ousted."
Ed: "Are you sure it isn't because you won't be able to fit in a dress?"
Ralph (yells): "GET OUT! GET OUT! GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET OUT!"
(Ed leaves.)
(Jackie walks on stage. Crowd cheers.)
Jackie: "Thank you. GOOD NIGHT!"
(Crowd cheers.)
Frank Gannucci 04-18-2017, 10:02 PM (The NY Rangers beat the Montreal Canadiens 2-1.)
(Ralph & Ed just watched the game from Norton's apartment.)
Ed: "That was a close game Ralph-ie boy."
Ralph: "You said it Norton. Aren't these games reminding you of the hockey game that us Raccoons had against each other. The other team showered me with praise."
Ed: "The fact that you scored for them thinking it was your team's goal did you no harm."
Ralph: "Oh yes. Don't remind me of that moment Norton. That has got to be embarrassing for anyone to accidentally score for the other team."
Ed: "How about the time that you threw your bowling ball so hard that it ended up in the other lane?"
Ralph: "All right pal. All right. Back to hockey. Now we got a series. That Joe Fenstablau is going to lose. I am going to have some fun at Joe's expense because he would have to wear that pink woman's clothing. Nothing will be funnier than that."
Ed: "I know of something that would be."
Ralph: "What?"
Ed: "YOU in that outfit. Hahahaha!"
Ralph (yells): "OK! PUT' EM UP NORTON! PUT 'EM UP NORTON!"
(Trixie tries to separtate them.)
(Jackie walks on stage. Crowd cheers.)
Jackie: "Thank you everyone. GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE."
(Crowd cheers.)
Frank Gannucci 04-20-2017, 10:32 PM (The NY Rangers beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-2.)
(The girls are at in the Kramden apartment sewing.)
Trixie: "Alice, be prepared. One boys are going to come home any minute, hootin' and hollerin' that their Rangers won."
Alice: "Oh, I am prepared. As matter of fact, one...two...three."
Ralph & Ed (from hallway, yells): "THE RANGERS WON! THE RANGERS WON! WHOOOO! BOY!"
(They enter. The crowd cheers.)
Ralph: "That was a great game Alice & Trixie. It went into overtime and it looked like it was going to go into a second overtime, but it didn't."
Ed: "I thought Ralph was going to get a heart attack during those times that Montreal threatened to win."
Ralph: "The game was in Montreal, so when the Rangers won, the crowd didn't care."
Ed: "The crowd was so quiet."
Alice: "I wish you two would quiet down. People are sleeping."
Ralph: "I don't care if Garrity wakes up. I so want to upset him by telling him that the Rangers won."
Ed: "There was this bet that Ralph made with Joe Fenstablau. If Ralph loses, he has to wear a PINK dress."
(The girls laugh.)
Ralph: "Big deal. I am not the first man to ever cross-dress."
Alice: "No, but you will be the fattest cross-dresser of all time."
(Ed & the girls laugh.)
Ed: "Wait, I got to go home and call WFAN's Steve Sommers."
Ralph: "Why?"
Ed: "So I can tell them all about you and the bet you made. He will get a great kick out of it."
Ralph (yells): "GET OUT! GET OUT! GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET OUT!"
(The Nortons leave.)
(Jackie walks on stage. Crowd cheers.)
Jackie: "Thank you. GOOD NIGHT."
Frank Gannucci 04-22-2017, 11:15 PM (The NY Rangers won the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, 4 games to 2, by beating the Montreal Canadiens 3-1.)
(Ralph & Ed are in the pool room when they have watched the game.)
Ed: "What a game Ralphie. The Rangers took the Canadiens to town. How about that empty net goal that really sealed the win."
Ralph: "Now that Joe Fenstablau is going to be a riot in a pink dress. Har! Har! Har!"
(Joe enters the pool room.)
Ralph: "Hey Joe! I hope you are ready to wear a pink dress. You will look great in that color."
Joe: "I will wear that dress Ralph but I got another deal for you."
Ralph: "Oh you do?"
Joe: "If the Rangers win the next round, I will wear the pink dress and if the Rangers lose, you will."
Ed: "Ralph accepts."
(Harvey and George enter.)
Harvey: "I so would love to see you Ralph in a dress. You would look funny. Do you think so George?"
George: "Ha ha. Yes."
Ralph: "Now wait a minute."
Ed: "Ralph, the Rangers will win. They got a perfect plan."
Joe: "Good. See you."
(Joe leaves.)
Harvey: "Oh, and if you back out, I will come get you."
(Harvey & George leave.)
Ed: "Ralph, I know that you are a smart person. Why did you take Joe's bet for?"
Ralph: "Get out." (yells): "GET OUT! GET OUT! GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET OUT!"
(Ed leaves.)
(Jackie walks on stage. Crowd cheers.)
Jackie: "Thank you. GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE."
(Crowd cheers.)
Frank Gannucci 04-27-2017, 10:20 PM (The Ottawa Senators beat the NY Rangers 2-1.)
(Alice is home. The boys arrive. They are depressed.)
Alice: "I take it that the Rangers lost."
Ralph: "You bet. They let this one slip through their fingers in Ottawa."
Ed: "What a sad, sad day."
Ralph: "You can say that again."
Ed: "What a sad, sad day."
Ralph: "Norton, you are going through a very trying time. Now, those Senators in Ottawa think they deserve to beat the Rangers. They are wrong."
Ed: "Well, I kind of want the Senators to win."
Ralph: "Why is that Norton?"
Ed: "If the last year in sport has shown us, championship droughts have got to end. The Cubs ended their 108-year-old drought and so did the city of Cleveland when the Cavs won their first NBA title since 1963. The city of Ottawa hasn't had a championship team since the 1920s. They deserve it."
Ralph: "Norton, you are telling me that you WANT the Senators to BEAT the Rangers because of the city's 90-year-old championship drought? What about my drought? I am hungry for another NY team to win a title."
Ed: "Judging by the looks of you, it's hard to imagine that you would BE hungry."
Ralph (yells): "OKAY NORTON! PUT 'EM UP! PUT 'EM UP! LET'S GO!"
(Alice tries to separate them.)
(Jackie walks on stage. Crowd cheers.)
Jackie: "Thank you. GOOD NIGHT!"
(Crowd cheers.)
Frank Gannucci 04-29-2017, 07:55 PM (The Ottawa Senators beat the NY Rangers 6-5.)
(Ralph & Ed just watched the game at the ESPN Zone.)
Ralph: "What a bum of a game Norton."
Ed: "I agree. How could those Rangers let this one slip away?"
Ralph: "I don't know. But, I think that those Senators are going to face those rabid MSG fans. I know that I will be rabid."
Ed: "Me too. I can't stand bad ends to seasons."
Ralph: "Now it's getting more likely that due to the bet that I have with Joe Fenstablau, I might have to wear a pink dress."
Ed: "I know that McGarrity would LOVE seeing you in a pink dress."
Ralph: "That is not going to happen boy. Do you know why?"
Ed: "Because they don't make them that big?"
Ralph: "No, stupid. The Rangers will win the Cup. I can feel a championship. How about you Norton?"
Ed: "Sure."
(They both sing a song about feeling a championship. After that, the crowd cheers.)
(Jackie comes on stage. Crowd cheers.)
Jackie: "Thank you. Of course, the Miami Beach crowds are the BEST. GOOD NIGHT."
(Crowd cheers.)
Frank Gannucci 05-02-2017, 09:55 PM (The NY Rangers beat the Ottawa Senators 4-1.)
(Ralph goes to Ed's sewer to have lunch.)
Ralph (yells down the sewer): "HEY NORTON! NORTON!"
Ed (from sewer, yells): "ARE YOU READY FOR LUNCH RALPH? I KNOW THAT I CAN TAKE MY TIME COMING UP. I CAN TAKE A THREE HOURS CLIMBING UP AND YOU STILL WON'T BE FINISHED WITH LUNCH."
Ralph (yells down the sewer): "VERY FUNNY NORTON! YOU ARE LUCKY THAT I DON'T KNOCK YOU OUT."
(Ed comes out.)
Ralph: "Hey Norton! Did you see that Rangers game?"
Ed: "I certainly did Ralph. The Rangers stopped their slump."
Ralph: "They really beat those pesky Senators 4-1."
Ed: "Now, we know that the series will go to at least five games."
Ralph: "What do you mean five game? It will go six games with the Rangers winning the next three. They will extend Ottawa's drought."
Ed: "Those Senators will be so upset when they lose especially if they lose at home."
Ralph: "Imagine being on a team and losing a world championship at home."
Ed: "I can think of the the last time that happened. It happened to a person I know."
Ralph: "Oh yeah? Who?"
Ed: "Well, it was you when you caused the Hurricanes to lose their bowling championship due to the fact that you bowled while you were hung over and looked like you were going to throw up due to all the food you ate. You were the one responsible for us losing."
Ralph: "ALL RIGHT! ALL RIGHT!"
Ed: "Everyone seems to think that the Rangers will lose."
Ralph: "Not us. They are the greatest NHL team. You know I wish I was able to play in the NHL. I would make history."
Ed: "You certainly would Ralph. You would not only be the fattest goalie ever, you would be the first person to not wear the team uniform and play in your street clothes since I don't think they can make hockey uniforms that big."
Ralph (yells): "OKAY NORTON! LET'S GO! PUT UP YOUR DUKES!"
(Ed does. People try to separate the two.)
(Jackie comes on stage. Crowd cheers.)
Jackie: "Thank you. GOOD NIGHT!"
(Crowd cheers.)
Frank Gannucci 05-04-2017, 10:30 PM (The NY Rangers beat the Ottawa Senators 4-1.)
(Ralph & Ed just watched the game at the Kramden apartment.)
Ralph: "What a great game Norton. The Rangers have evened the series."
Ed: "I agree Ralph-ie boy. Pal 'O Mine."
Ralph: "How about those Senators? Starting a fight with 25.3 seconds to go and with them down 4-1. The game was practically decided by that point."
Ed: "What a waste of time."
Ralph: "Those Senators would have to be as fast as the Flash for them to score three or four goals in 25 seconds."
Ed: "Or as fast as Barry Allen."
Ralph: "That character's name IS the Flash Norton."
Ed: "Ohhhhh! Well, since this game is this Saturday afternoon, we should watch it in the poolroom."
Ralph: "I bet that Joe Fenstablau is sweating bullets. I wonder what he is thinking."
Ed: "How funny it would be for him to be in a pink dress and how much funnier EVERYONE will think it would be by seeing YOU in a pink dress. Hahaha!"
Ralph (yells): "GET OUT! GET OUT! GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET OUT!"
(Ed leaves.)
(Jackie walks on stage. Crowd cheers.)
Jackie: "Thank you. As always, a Miami Beach crowd is the BEST! GOOD NIGHT!"
(Crowd cheers.)
Frank Gannucci 05-06-2017, 10:10 PM (The Ottawa Senators beat the NY Rangers 5-4.)
(Ralph is shown sitting down at the dinner table all upset. Ed comes down.)
Ed: "It was a dark, dark day Ralph. The Rangers blew a chance to win the game in overtime."
Ralph: "The Rangers had that game in their GRASP."
Ed: "How could they do this to us?"
Ralph: "Now, the chances of me losing that bet with Joe Fenstablau are great."
Alice (coming out): "Hi Ed! What bet Ralph?"
Ralph: "Oh, I didn't bet any money."
Alice: "What was the bet Ralph?"
Ed: "If the Rangers lose their chance to win the Stanley Cup, Ralph has to wear a pink dress."
Alice: "Ralph, you in a..."
(Alice laughs.)
(Ed laughs.)
Ralph (yells): "GO AHEAD! LAUGH ALL YOU WANT! IT AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN."
McGarrity (from upstairs, yells): "HEY KRAMDEN! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU IN A PINK DRESS. YOUR BET WITH JOE IS ALL OVER FACEBOOK."
(Ralph goes to the window and sticks his head out."
Ralph (yells): "MCGARRITY, PREPARE TO GET DISAPPOINTED. I WON'T WEAR A PINK DRESS."
McGarrity (from upstairs, yells): "YOU ARE RIGHT. THEY PROBABLY DON'T MAKE THEM IN XXXXXL."
(Other tenants laugh.)
Ralph (to the other tenants, yells): "SHUT UP!"
(Ralph slams down the window which causes the glass to break. Ed laughs.)
Ralph (yells to Ed): "GET OUT! GET OUT! GEEET OUT! GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET OUT!" (yells to Alice): "WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO TO THE MOON ALICE?"
(Alice continues laughing while Ralph sulks.)
(Jackie walks on stage. Crowd cheers.)
Jackie: "Thank you. GOOD NIGHT!"

(Ed is at the subway station with Joe Fenstablau.)
Joe: "Well, where is Ralph? I want to see him wear what I got for him. Since he lost the bet when the Rangers lost, he needs to wear what I got him."
Ed: "Don't worry. He will be here."
(Ed looks in the distance.)
Ed (yells): "HEY THERE RALPH-IE BOY!"
Joe (yells): "COME ON OVER HERE RALPH! YOU WON'T GET LAUGHED AT."
(Ralph comes by wearing a bright pink dress. Everyone at the station, including Ed & Joe, laugh hysterically at him.)
Ralph (yells): "I HAVE A BIIIIIIIIIIIG MOUTH."
Ed: "You have a big mouth to match your stomach. Now, I need a laugh after the disappointment that the Rangers had last night."
Joe: "I needed some more happiness after the Senators WON last night."
Ralph: "Ohh gosh, everyone has been laughing at me. Those Rangers dissapointed me greatly."
Ed: "They did too Ralph. It was a dark, dark day."
Ralph: "Can this afternoon be any more humiliating?"
(Ralph sees a coin.)
Ralph: "Oh, I see that I got some luck. I am picking up a quarter."
(Ralph bends over and the backside of the dress rips in half. He has a wardrobe malfunction. People are laughing all the more.)
Ed: "Ralph, it looks like we will see a SIDE of you that we haven't seen before."
Ralph (yells): "OKAY NORTON! PUT 'EM UP! I CAN BEAT YOU WITH ONE ARM."
(People go to separate the two.)
(Jackie walks on stage. Crowd cheers.)
Jackie: "Thank you. In case you are wondering, that dress that I wore didn't rip at all. That ripping sound was a sound effect. After all, I don't want any nudity on my family show."
(Crowd cheers.)
Jackie: "As always, the Miami Beach crowds are the BEST! GOOD NIGHT!"
(Crowd cheers.)
