Ralph comes home to tell Ed some great news. While he was working, he got a call from "The Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler." (Ed refers to him as "The Emperor of All Racoondom.") He doesn't believe it. Ralph: "Sure, you don't believe it because he has never called you." Ed: "He doesn't have to. He works right beside me in the sewer." Ralph continues with his news. He said the ruler asked him to make a speech tomorrow night at the Raccoon banquet when they announce who the Raccoon of The Year is and he was never told to whom the speech is for. Ralph thinks he knows who the Raccoon of The Year is and he is standing right in this room. Ed thinks that it is him but Ralph says that it is Ralph. Ralph plans on taking the award and making a speech. Alice comes in and Ralph says: "Something has happened to me today that is without a shadow of a doubt, one of the finest things that has ever happened to me in my life. If you guessed for a million years- for a million years, you won't be able to guess what happened to me today." Alice: "You have been elected Raccoon of The Year in that silly lodge of yours." Ralph: "What's so silly about them?" Ed says that The Raccoons do a lot of good things like the charity to collect old clothes. Ed: "Where do you think I got this cashmere vest?" Gee, with the way Ed is talking about the Raccoons, you think the Raccoons would give old clothes to non-Raccoon members and not vice-versa. Ralph mentions all the benefits of being Raccoon of The Year, which are: The honor of opening the first clam at the annual Clam Bake, navigating the boat on their boat ride up the Hudson River as they pass Raccoon Point, an undisclosed honor at the annual Raccoon Convention and free burial in the Raccoon National Cemetery in Bismarck, North Dakota.
Alice's response to the third benefit is: "I always dreamed about going out west and with a chance to go to Bismarck, North Dakota, I can't make up my mind wherever I want to live or die." She leaves. In real life, in N.Y.C. there is a place called The Raccoon Lodge but according to Yahoo! Yellow Pages, there isn't a Raccoon National Cemetery in Bismarck. Ralph wonders if he is worthy of the honor of being the Raccoon of The Year. Ed thinks that he is and hopes that he won't get conceded and stuck up. Ralph: "If there is anything you should know now Norton is that I can accept an award gracefully." He can? Ralph: "When I am elected, Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler, the very first duty that I will use my influence on is to get you buried in Bismarck, North Dakota." Ed is all happy.
In the next scene, Ralph is rehearsing the speech "that he didn't have time to prepare." Ralph (reading his speech): "What do I have that stands out?" Alice points to her stomach as if to say that is what Ralph has that stands out. Alice is knitting some of Ralph's clothes. Ralph goes into the bedroom. Ed comes in and knows what Ralph is doing. Alice: "I don't think it matters what you say tonight Ralph. Those lodge buddies are going to be so full of beer tonight, they won't hear a word your saying." Alice brings up a story on Ralph coming home and being drunk, opening up the window and yelling: "Hey Mrs., Gallagher, what's your cat doing in this apartment?" Ralph: "What was the cat doing in this apartment?" Alice: "It wasn't her cat. You had your Raccoon hat on backwards." This whole exchange was also shown in "Guest Speaker." Ralph tires to rehearse his speech but every time, he gets interrupted by Alice & Trixie who just came in. When he reads his speech, he tires to memorize it and when he gets interrupted, he has to stop and start from the beginning. Finally, he asks the girls to shut up. He gets so aggravated, that he gets the hic-cups. He walks into the bedroom. Ed puts down some Rock Candy, so Ralph will get so scared that his hic-cups will be gone. Ralph slips and falls on the Rock Candy. He knows Ed did it and kicks him out.
A few hours before the speech, Alice is ironing his cap. Ralph added a joke to the speech and reads it to Alice. The joke is very LONG and I heard that Jackie forgot his lines when he said this "joke" when they taped this episode live, but it culminates with: "King Arthur says: That won't be necessary Sir Lonchlit. I wouldn't send a night out on a dog like this." Ralph thinks it's funny, but Alice doesn't and if he switched the words 'dog' and 'night', then it might be funny. Ralph goes over to Nortons to shine his shoes. He leaves and then the G.H.E.M.R. comes in. G.H.E.M.R. (to Alice): "I am Morris Fink. The G.H.E.M.R. of the International Order of The Friendly Raccoons." His outfit is probably laughable considering the studio audience laughs when they see him. He gives Ralph's speech to Alice which says: "It gives me great pleasure to introduce the Raccoon of The Year award to Brother Edward Norton." D'oh! Not something that Ralph wants to hear. He leaves. Ralph comes in and reads the speech that Morris sent him. He reads it and is upset. Alice says in a VERY calm voice that Ralph will always be Raccoon of The Year in this house. Ralph leaves to go upstairs to Ed. He wants him to read the joke tonight in his respective speech.
I was watching this episode with a friend of mine and he said that Jackie's hair looks like there is five pounds of gel in it. Just thought I would bring that up. This episode is very similar to the lost episode sketch of "Guest Speaker" which was done a few years earlier.

"On Stage":

This is one of my favorite episodes. Ralph is in the Raccoon Lodge using a typewriter. He is typing a letter to every Raccoon that has not paid his dues. That sort of thing was a tough thing to do back in the fifties. Today, it would be so much easier because of computers and the Mail Merge function of Microsoft Word. Back to the episode, Ralph says that the Raccoon Lodge needs some money or there wouldn't be a lodge. Ralph: "Do you know what happened yesterday? Yesterday the ACME Finance Company took out the pool table. The day before that, they took out the TV set. The day before that, they took out the phonograph (aka record player.) What are we going to do Norton?" Ed: "We can always hold our meetings at the ACME Finance Company. Gee, I can just picture how funny THAT would be. Ralph says that Alice and the rest of the Raccoon Lodge Ladies Auxiliary are helping out. They are thinking about putting on a play. Now didn't Alice say in "Two Men On A Horse" that she hates the Raccoons. Not to mention all the times, she has ridiculed the group. Ralph also says that the only way the Raccoons can make money on a play is to let everyone in for free and charge them on the way out. Ed notices that Ralph is going slowly with his typing, so he helps out. He types fast. Ed: "When I was in the Navy, I studied typing under the GI Bill and happened to be the best in the class and the only reason that I work in the sewer is because I can't stand the thought of being cooped up in a stuffy office all day." Gee, the sewer smells better? Ralph changes his mind about typing and decides to call every member that hasn't paid his dues. He goes to the nearest phone. Alice comes out with a Mr. Faversham. They get Ralph out. They are thinking about putting on a play. Mr. Faversham suggests that Ralph should be the starring role in it. Ralph doesn't like the idea, but changes his mind. Mr. Faversham also talks about the possibility of Ed having a role in the play to Ed. Mr. Faversham says that when Ralph said to him that he won't be in the play, he noticed that he has great acting talent. Ralph says that he's just a bus driver. Mr. Faversham mentions some well-known actors that originally had jobs like Ralph. He also says that Ralph has something that starts on the stage and reaches over the whole crowd. Ralph says that he will be in the play. Ralph (to Ed): "I have this saying: 'Be kind to the people you meet on the way up because you will meet the same kind of people on the way down.'" Ed: "That happens to me every day in the sewer."
At home, the night of the play, Trixie comes down. She is in the Raccoon Lodge Ladies Auxiliary and will be in the play. She says that Ed found out that he won't be in the play because they don't have a part for him. Ralph has been acting like he has a chance of stardom since he is hearing that a famous producer from Hollywood is coming to see the play. Trixie leaves. Alice tries to tell Ralph that since a famous producer from Hollywood is coming to see the play and he isn't looking for new faces. Ralph's attitude isn't changing. Ed comes down with news. He is now going to be in the play since one of the actors is calling in sick. Ralph is now mad. They go over the story line of Ralph and Ed's character trying to win the love of Alice's character with Ed's character winning the love of Alice's character their lines. Ralph: "Now, where are we going to get an audience to believe THAT?" Alice: "In the end, I come back to your character Ralph. Ralph: "Well, they will believe that. Ed's lines include: "I don't possess a mansion, a villa in France, a yacht or a string of pol-op-onies. (He mispronounced "polo ponies.") Ralph is aggravated at Ed's mistake and says he can't go on with Ed. He says he can't go on with inexperienced talent like Ed. Gee, Ralph is an experienced actor? Ed leaves. Ralph and Alice argue over Ralph's acting talent. Ed comes back in and asks which his best profile is. Ralph and Alice continue with their practicing of their lines, but Ralph mispronounces "polo ponies" and gets mad.
The play is over and Ralph has returned to his dressing room. He gets informed that the play was a huge success and that the Raccoons are out of debt by Fred Muller. Fred also tells him that Mr. Faversham and the Hollywood Producer noticed a new face and Ralph thinks that it is him. He says when he gets to Hollywood, he will put in his contract that once a year, he has to come back here and do this how for the lodge. Fred leaves and Mr. Faversham and the producer said that they noticed a new face, that being Alice. Ralph is upset but says that he understands since he is only a bus driver and gives them the okay to ask Alice for chance to become a celebrity. They leave. Alice comes in with the news. She says that she was approached by Mr. Faversham and the Hollywood Producer about getting a chance of becoming a celebrity, but she turned it down. She is no actress. She says that the only part they liked is when her character says to Ralph's character that she loves him. When she said that, she wasn't acting. She was telling Ralph that she loves him. Ralph understands and they get ready to celebrate with the rest of the Raccoons and The Raccoons Ladies Auxiliary at the Hong Kong Gardens.
