(Ralph comes home from work. He has a bunch of fireworks.)
Ralph: "Alice. I'm home."
(Alice comes out.)
Alice: "Hiya Ralph! What's with all these fireworks?"
Ralph: "Alice, I am entering the Raccoon July 4th contest. The first prize is a trip to Miami Beach. I just bought those fireworks and I am going to buy canon crackers to show the Raccoons how fireworks shows are done."
Alice: "Ralph, I just heard that Norton is entering the contest too."
Ralph (yells): "WHAT? THAT IDIOT IS ENTERING THE CONTEST?"
(Ralph goes to the window and sticks his head out.)
Ralph (yells): "NORTON, HOW COULD YOU ENTER THE RACCOON FIREWORKS AND CANNON CRACKERS CONTEST?"
Ed (from upstairs, yells): "I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU WERE ENTERING TOO. I FIGURED THAT BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR WITH YOU AND ME BUYING WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE ILLEGAL FIREWORKS, YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING WITH THEM."
Garrity (from upstairs, yells): "NOT A SURPRISE THAT RALPH WOULD BUY ILLEGAL FIREWORKS."
Ralph (yells): "SHUT UP GARRITY. I WILL SHOW YOU UP NORTON. FROM NOW ON, WE ARE DEADLY ENEMIES. IF YOU SEE ME COMING DOWN THE STREET, GET ON THE OTHER SIDE."
Ed (from upstairs, yells): "WHEN YOU WALK DOWN THE STREET, THERE AIN'T NO OTHER SIDE."
(Other residents in the building laugh as well as Alice. Ralph slams the window in frustration only for it to break.)
(At the Raccoon July 4th celebration along the East River, Ralph has got his fireworks ready. He is right by Ed.)
Ralph: "Norton, get ready to lose. I have a feeling tonight that when my fireworks fire, they will be on the front page of every paper in the country."
Ed: "Yeah because your fireworks did the worst."
Ralph (yells): "OOOH, YOU ARE GOING TO GET IT NORTON."
Head Raccoon: "All right guys time for the fireworks show. The top prize is a trip to Miami Beach along with their wives."
Ralph: "I am going to party hardy in Miami. I can feel it."
(A while later. It is down to Ed & Ralph. Ed fires his fireworks and they go far into the night sky.)
Ralph: "Ha. Amateur. Watch my fireworks and canon crackers that I bought from a street vendor. He wouldn't sell me anything illegal."
(Ralph fires them and not only do they are the worst ones of the bunch, they hit empty police cars which cause them to explode. Ralph has an "egg-all-over-his-face" look. Cops come by.)
Cop: "Sir, I see that you bought ILLEGAL fireworks and ILLEGAL canon crackers."
(Alice hears about this.)
Alice: "Ralph."
Head Raccoon: "The first place winner is Ed Norton and the last place winner is Ralph."
(Ed laughs.)
Ed: "Good thing no one got hurt."
(Ralph tries to fight Ed. People try to cool their heads.)
(Jackie walks on stage. Crowd cheers.)
Jackie: "Thank you. GOOD NIGHT."
(Crowd cheers.)
Ralph: "Alice. I'm home."
