I’m trying my best to upload these photos.

Sorry! I do not know how some of the images are sideways. I swear. I am not an idiot. I will see if I can fix this.

Well, I finally managed to fix the images using my iPad. I can see them right side up in my IPad. I hope it’s the same for everyone else.

"A Little Man Who Wasn't There":

According to John K’s book “To The Moon”, this episode’s title is: “The Little Man Who Wasn’t There.”

In 1988, the Honeymooners comic books did this episode in comic book form (complete with black & white images). Not all the dialogue from the episode made the comic though. This was the only episode that got this treatment.

MPI Video says that this episode goes down as one of the funniest Honeymooners episodes ever made. I disagree with that because although this episode is funny, it isn't one that will make you laugh until your eyes water (because of laughter.)

Ed comes into the unlocked empty Kramden apartment. Ralph comes home all steamed up. Some passengers on Ralph's bus who have been offended by him have complained to the bus company, so Ralph's boss orders him to see the company psychiatrist. Ralph thinks that the boss thinks he's crazy, and that this is the end of his career as a bus driver. So Ed decides to give Ralph a knee test (i.e. letting one person hitting your knee to see if it will go up.) Ed hits Ralph in the knee with a small hammer but his knee didn't go up. Both Ed and Ralph say that it should and that Ed should hit it harder. He does it, but it doesn't work. So he tries to hit his knee unexpectedly. He does and Ralph groans in pain and walks around in pain. Jackie's facial expressions and hollering in fake pain is funny if you know what I mean. Ed leaves. Alice enters and sings: "Crazy people" much to Ralph's chagrin. Today, she might have sung: "You Drive Me Crazy" by Brittney Spears. Ralph: "I hit my leg with a hammer but it won't go up." Alice: "If you keep talking like that, you will be taken away." Ralph explains what happened to him today and that Alice says that Ralph isn't crazy just because he is going to see a psychiatrist. Ralph calms down.

Ralph takes Norton with him to the psychiatrist's office and within minutes they're fighting (because Ed said that there would be no way that Ralph would be taken away in a straitjacket because there is no one straitjacket big enough. The doctor enters the room and finds Norton standing on a desk and Ralph threatening to beat him up. The doctor thinks that Ed is Ralph, but Ralph says that he is Ralph and that Ed is his friend. The doctor sits down and notices Ralph walks with a slight limp. Ralph says that it isn't because he let Ed hit his knee with a hammer today to see if his knee would go up. Yeah, the doctor doesn't think that Ralph is crazy at all. The doctor brings out a game for Ralph to play. He has to put shapes into their appropriate holes on a board. Ed: "Can three people play?" Ed also says: "You can't put a square box into a round hole?" Ralph: "No, then how did you get your head in your hat?" Ralph is getting frustrated with the game and when Ed leaves the room (after saying that Ralph is a sick boy), Ralph is able to concentrate. Ralph says that he has known Ed since childhood (despite the fact that in "Kramden vs. Norton" that they have known each other since the Kramdens moved in.) The doctor says that Ed is his problem and that if he hung around him any loner, he would get a nervous breakdown. Ralph leaves the place (without telling Ed what the doctor told him.)

At home, Ralph is thinking about how he should get rid of Ed. Writing a letter and slipping it under Ed's door is his only good option (or so he thinks). When Ralph is in the other room, Ed comes in with a friend to pick him up to go bowling. Ed sees the letter and thinks that Ralph will commit suicide. He decides to stick to Ralph like glue, to prevent him from killing himself. The friend leaves, saying that he can't bowl at a time like this, so he will play pool. In "Pardon My Glove" something similar happened. In that episode, when Ralph thinks that Alice is seeing a man behind his back, Ed asks Ralph to bowl and Ralph says he can't bowl at a time like this. So Ed asks for a game of pool. Ralph tries putting things together and when Ed comes down to go bowling, Ralph tries to get him mad so their friendship would be dissolved but to no avail. So when Ed leaves, Ralph is even more upset.

At a pool hall, the next day, Ralph is talking to a friend of his and explains that even though he hasn't been seeing him, he has been seeing him. Ralph: "I see him but I know that he is at work." The friend explains something similar that happened to a friend of his and his dog when the dog got sick. He kept on seeing the dog, even though he was at home, so the friend ended up being put away. Ralph tries to play pool and when he sees Ed, he is convinced (or so he thinks) that he is crazy.

Ralph races home and explains the whole situation of him seeing Ed but he knows that he is at work. Alice is convinced that Ralph needs medicine to calm him down and when Ed comes in, Ralph thinks it is her. Ed leaves. Alice comes in and Ralph said that she looked like Norton. The doctor comes in and gets told of the whole situation, so he thinks that Ralph is crazy. Ed comes in and explains that he has stuck to Ralph like glue because he didn't want to commit suicide like he said in the letter. Ralph explains that the letter was to tell him not to see him (Ralph) again because the doctor said that was made him (Ralph) crazy. After hearing this, the doctor says that Ralph and Ed need to remain friends so that Ralph can keep an eye on Ed at all times. The doctor leaves and Alice lies down. A man comes by dressed as Norton. Ralph sees the man and perhaps feels that maybe he is crazy after all.

"Unconventional Behavior":

To see the finished script, click here: http://www.springfieldspringfield.co...episode=s04e33

On my 16th birthday on June 23, 1996, I got this tape. I told everyone that I wanted the tape that has the episode where Ed & Ralph are handcuffed (I didn't know the title of the episode yet.) It was the first of a WHOLE LOT of Honeymooners things that I would collect.

In the same episode, particularly the first half, there is someone in the audience with a real noticeable and obnoxious laugh. Trixie comes in and she talks to Alice. They talk over the upcoming Raccoon convention in Minneapolis. Ed saved a lot of money where Ralph saved about 50 cents and that Ralph is going to ask Alice for the money. But, she will give it to him. Trixie brings up the fact that she was at the butcher's and how the people running the place are not nice. (One of them called her "sweetie-pie" and the other one called her "honey.") Ed comes down and Trixie explained what happened to her at the butcher's. Ed is upset, but not because of the name-calling but because of the prices they offer for meat. The girls go upstairs as Ed tires to set his watch. Ralph comes in. Ed just set his watch by the nearby Chinese restaurant which opens at 5pm every day. Ed: "I can prove it to you. They start cooking the egg foo young at 5:26. The first whiff reaches my apartment at 5:28. The first whiff reaches your apartment at 5:26:56." Ed's watch malfunctions a lot so he sets his watch by the Chinese restaurant a lot. Ralph: "Would it be easier to get a new watch?" Ed says that there is nothing works with his watch except it needs a new something and he will write a letter to Walt Disney tonight. Ralph shows Ed all the toys he's going to bring to the convention. Ralph & Ed plan on using a lot of gags at the convention. Everything from false faces (masks) to bags for filling up with water so they can throw them out of the hotel window. Ed: "Remember last year at the convention when the police were cracking down on the people who were throwing water bags out of the hotel window? That didn't stop me, I kept on throwing." Ralph: "What happened?" Ed: "I almost drowned the window was closed." Ralph: "That figures, with you doing it." Ed said an almost exact same story in "The Hypnotist." Ralph says that he doesn’t have the money for the convention, so he will ask Alice for it by asking her to come along. Ed doesn't like that at all because Trixie come. Alice comes down and Ralph asks her to come along and for the money. Alice says yes to both and says that she was going to offer to give him the money anyway. Ralph is angry because now she is coming and he didn't have to ask her. Alice: "We are going to have so much fun." Alice goes into the bedroom. Ed says that they will have a lot of fun with the wives along. Ed: "How do you get us into these fixes?" Ralph: "Very simple." (yells): "I HAVE GOT A BIIIIIG MOUTH!"

On the train that they think is going to Minneapolis and near the births (bunks) that Ralph & Ed will use, Ed wears a mask and scares Ralph. Ralph: "What is the matter with you?" Ralph goes over how much fun this convention will be. The boys are concerned that the girls haven't arrived yet. They think it is terrible that if they miss the train because they will now have more fun. They laugh at the terribleness of the girls missing the train. The conductor yells: "ALL ABOARD!" Some train noise is heard. Ed shows Ralph some of the other toys he brought, like trick handcuffs. He puts them on himself and Ralph and when he says: "Boomph!” they will fall off. He says the word a few times, but it doesn't work. Uh oh! They try to get out of the handcuffs. Ed tries to break them by stepping on them, but it doesn't work. Ralph is upset. They will go to sleep now and tomorrow they will get a hacksaw and get out of the cuffs. They will now have to sleep on the bottom bunk. For some reason, no train noise indicating that it is moving is heard. You think that there would be. Ed says that it's hot sleeping with the jacket on and they both try to take the jackets off but they can't because of the cuffs. Oh God! They put on the coats. I guess they didn't want them to get wrinkled. Then Ed wants to sleep on the other side of the bed because he is getting claustrophobic. He moves to the other side and accidentally knees Jackie in the groin causing Jackie to say: "You're breaking my arm!" That wasn't supposed to happen. He then asks Ralph if he can sleep on the top bunk because he can't sleep on his back. Ralph is now more upset. But orders Ed to go up there and sleep on his stomach. Ralph's handcuffed arm is now in pain due to the blood running. Ralph: "Reach down a little!" Ed: "Reach up a little!" Ed then says: "I wonder where the girls are because if they missed it, I'm glad because they would have been nothing but trouble. They would be huh? More trouble then him and Ralph being handcuffed? Ed asks Ralph if he can smoke. Ralph: "I don't care if you burn!" Ed says they are some cigarettes underneath his bunk. Ralph orders Ed to get down and get the cigarette and asks Ed if he's hungry, thirsty and if everything is fine. Everything is. Ed goes back up and asks Ralph if he has a match. A studio audience member says: “Ha ha! A match.” Ralph is now angry. He gets Norton down and the conductor asks what the trouble is. Ralph explains what happened. Ralph (yells): "I HAVE TO BE HANDCUFFED TO THIS IDIOT ALL THE WAY TO MINNEAPOLIS." Conductor: "Gentlemen, we are going in the other direction to Norfolk, Virginia." D'oh! Not something that Ralph & Ed wanted to hear. They sit down on Ralph's bunk as the episode ends.

In a 1988 issue of The Honeymooners comics series, the writers wrote a continuation of this storyline. Ralph & Ed, while still being handcuffed, get on the right train to Minneapolis with Ed annoying Ralph all the while. The girls get to Minneapolis and see a whole lot of Raccoon members in the hotel acting crazy and yelling: "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Funny hi-jinks are that Trixie gets doused with water from a flower on one of the Raccoon jackets and the girls deciding to have some fun by dropping bags of water out the hotel window (with the window open of course) and the bag landing on Ralph.

"Boys & Girls Together":

When I recorded this episode in 1997, I really thought it was a two-parter, but I was proved wrong. Also, you want to talk about edits, nearly half this episode is cut when it is shown on TV.

Alice is planning to go out to dinner with Ralph. Ralph has other plans. He and Ed are bowling for The Hurricanes. If they win this "very important" game, the team will tie another team for eighth place. Alice is upset. Another family (the Fallons) move in. Ralph welcomes Mr. Fallon by inviting him to join him and Norton for pool, bowling, and lodge meetings, but Fallon is busy all the nights Ralph and Norton go out together--he spends all those nights with his wife. Later, Trixie tells Alice that she read in a magazine that the reason men spend so much time apart from their wives is because the wives let themselves go and allow their marriages to become dull and predictable. The girls make a pact to bring romance back to Chauncey Street.

This is the first scene that you will see on TV. The next day, Alice is all dressed up and turns of the lights, lights a candle and welcomes Ralph. Ralph: "So you forgot to pay the electric bill, huh?" That is funny. Alice says that with the lights off and a candle lit, it is romantic. Ralph: "Who do you think we are, Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds?" Alice tries to do more romantic things for Ralph like hugs and kisses, a bushel of compliments, a roast-beef dinner, and romantic music, but Ralph doesn't change. Alice dances and offers Ralph to dance with her. He doesn't and says to Alice a line that would be repeated in "Mama Loves Mambo": "You want to wiggle? Wiggle over to the stove and get my supper." Soon each is pouring out fourteen years of frustration. Alice is complaining about him playing Skee-Ball tournaments. Gee, a Skee-Ball tournament. I didn't know that they EVER existed. Ralph: "It's the money that I won in the Skee-Ball tournaments that practically furnished this whole apartment. It's the prizes that I won in the pie-eating contest that got you that dress. What do I have to show for it?" (yells): "DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT!"

Then Alice lays down the law: Ralph will be allowed out alone one night a week; any other night he goes out he has to take her with him. Alice: "From now on, you are going to act like Mr. Fallon." Ralph: "So that's the bum that's behind all this." Since this is the first scene that you will see on TV, the viewer will say: "Who's Mr. Fallon?" Ralph objects but it falls on death ears.

Ralph talks to Ed the next day. After four nights out with Alice, Ralph is invoking the Constitution and his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Ed: "But the marriage license is an amendment to the Constitution." Ed has an idea: They will walk faster than the girls and eventually the girls will lose them." Ralph thinks that that idea is stupid. Alice and Trixie have said they want to spend time with their husbands but not spoil their fun, so Ralph figures the way for him and Norton to win back their freedom is to keep the girls out so late that they ask to go home, thus "spoiling" their husbands' night out and disqualifying themselves from participating in the boys' activities. When I watched this episode with a friend of mine, he said that Ed's idea was better.

Hours later--after pool, rowing boats, visiting Roseland and Coney Island, and bowling--the girls are invigorated and the boys are walking zombies. They stop in a restaurant and Ralph and Norton can't even stay awake. Ralph: "We are going to stay out and enjoy ourselves." Half asleep, Ralph and Ed wind up dancing together (which gets an ovation from the crowd), and then fall asleep standing up. The girls give up trying to keep them awake. Alice: "All right Bellows and Yolanda." They ask to go home. Ralph and Norton drag themselves home, victorious, but not before Ralph has trouble going through the revolving door because of lack of sleep.

"Ralph's Sweet Tooth":

In 1986, for the reboot of the Honeymooners comic book series, this storyline was used for the first story of the first issue of the rebooted comic book series and it was printed in color (unlike the other lost episode storyline, "A Little Man Who Wasn't There", which was printed in B&W.)

Alice is cleaning the floor when Trixie comes in. Trixie gets told not to step on the floor so Trixie has to do her best not to get the floor dirty. According to her, it's like she is playing Potsie. Trixie asks Alice for shoes for Ed. Ed wants them to be yellow because they will go great with his Bermuda shorts. Alice doesn't have any. After this, Trixie leaves. Ralph comes in with the news. Alice tells him to stay on the paper not once, not twice, but three times. Ralph gets upset and says he will never tell Alice what happened to him today. This lasts for a few seconds when Ralph says: "You got to ask me what happened to me today." Ralph tells Alice that he is going to be on the Choosy Chew Symphony Hour and he is going to be interviewed by the Choosy Chew Roving Reporter about how he likes Choosy Chew Candy (something he has never tasted before). Every week the roving reporter asks a different type of person like a railroad conductor etc. Ralph is getting paid $100 for this. I wonder if that money would be increased if something like this was being done today. As Ralph is explaining the news, his thermos bottle almost rolls of the table causing Ralph to catch it before it falls off. I wonder if that was in the script.

Ralph rehearses his speech and says the parts that he put in, which is: "Yummy-yum-yum!" Alice doesn't like that part as well as the other part of the speech Ralph put in which is: "It's goody-good-candy!" Ralph goes into the bedroom just as Ed comes in with shorts on and loud socks which causes Alice to scream. When I saw this episode on WPIX, I thought that Alice screamed about the fact that Ed was wearing shorts and loud socks. When I saw this episode on tape, I found out that in the beginning (before Ralph came in), Trixie asked Alice for yellow shoes. So now Ed is also wearing yellow shoes. With all of that, why is that enough to scare Alice? Ralph comes in, sees Ed, and says that Ed is nuts for wearing that. Ed leaves but comes back when girls outside of the apartment look at Ed and scream when they see him. Ed: "The neighborhood isn't ready for this yet." Ralph: "They will never be ready for that."

Ralph explains the good news to Ed about him being on the Choosy Chew Symphony Hour. He rehearses his speech but has a lot of trouble so Ed helps out by reading the reporter's script. That doesn't help. Ed tries to study the reporter's script. Ralph explains that he has to know his script and Ed doesn't have to study anything Considering that the reporter's script is shorter, he says Ralph should memorize the reporter's script so he will have less to learn. Ralph of course probably thinks that Ed is dumb for saying that. Ralph rehearses the script himself but Ed thinks the "yummy-yum-yum!" part is funny and he would like to meet the guy who wrote that. Ralph kicks him out after that.

The night before of the show, Ralph gets a bad toothache so he wears something around his head to protect the tooth. He makes so much commotion that McGarrity from upstairs tells him to shut up. Ralph yells to McGarrity for that comment. Ed comes down and Ralph explains that he has a toothache. Ralph: "Why do you think I have this thing on for?" Ed: "I thought you was going to be a bunny rabbit on that TV show tomorrow." Ha! Alice says that since Ralph is afraid to go to the dentist, Dr. Durgeom, how is he going to go on the show? Ed offers buy giving him a drink that he thought was going to cure his pain but gives him the hiccups instead. So Ed gives him some water. Ralph drinks it. Ralph (yells): "OW! THE WATER IS COLD!" Ed (yells): "THE WATER WAS FOR YOUR HIC-CUPS, NOT YOUR TOOTH." Ed devises a plan to get rid of Ralph's tooth. He will tie one string on Ralph's tooth and tie the other end around a door knob and when he closes the door, the tooth will come out. Alice doesn't want any part of it. Ed does his plan, but it doesn't work, as the door knob falls out. Ralph now has a door knob hanging out of his mouth. Ed thinks of another similar plan. Only difference is the other end of the string will be on the back end of his car. Ralph: "You are an idiot." Ed: "Maybe I am an idiot, but I don't have a door knob hanging out of my mouth." This whole scene was shown on NBC's TV's Funniest Friends and Neighbors in 1995. Ed leaves. Ralph complains about the toothache more and says that a Choosy Chew will increase the pain. McGarrity (from upstairs, yells): "GIVE HIM A CHOOSY CHEW!" Ralph goes to the window and asks McGarrity who's late with the rent, who leaves his garbage outside in the hall etc and a lot of people shout with this answer: "RALPH KRAMDEN!"

The next day at the dentist, Ed accompanies Ralph. Ralph says that there is no pain, but to no avail. Ed tries to help Ralph too, but it doesn't work. The dentist wants to pull Ralph's tooth out and to do so, he puts some pain killer on the tooth to temporarily get rid of the pain. The dentist steps out for a moment, so Ralph grabs that pain killer and scrams. To make up for it, he gives the dentist's secretary $5. Yeah, he ain't robbing the dentist's office. The secretary explains to Dr. Durgeom what Ralph did. Dr. Durgeom: "What Ralph plans to do won't do him any good. In order for that pain killer to work properly, it must be refrigerated." D'oh! This is going to be a big surprise for Ralph.

The night just before the TV show, Ralph is rehearsing his lines with the Choosy Chew Roving Reporter and the show's director. It occurs to me that for anybody to rehearse this type of scene, it would be hard if they were reading the script, showing each food separately, holding the lunch box and biting into the Choosy Chew. When Ralph mentions the "yummy-yum-yum!" part, the director says he wants to see the guy who wrote that in his office on Monday. Ralph, of course doesn't mention that it was him and when he read the "it's goody-good-candy!" part, the director says nothing. The show is starting to start and Alice wishes Ralph good luck. She leaves. Ralph puts the pain killer on. He probably didn't tell Alice what he did. The show starts. When the show starts, you can see old CBS camera with their trademark logo on them. When the show goes to the Choosy Chew Roving Reporter part, at first it's a bad camera angle. Just watch this scene and you will know what I am talking about. But, that error disappears within seconds. Ralph, nervously, tries to open the door but he can't get in so the Roving Reporter (played by George Petrie by the way), opens it for him. Ralph messes up his lines a bit. (This was in the original script of this Honeymooners episode). As Ralph is reading his lines, a cue card lady helps Ralph by giving him the cue cards to read. Ralph says to the reporter that for lunch, he eats a slice of cake and some other foods. All of those foods combined would make a very big lunch. (This was in the original script of this Honeymooners episode). When Ralph bites into the Choosy Chew Candy Bar, the fun begins. Ralph walks all over the set, disrupting the Choosy Chew Orchestra, while screaming in pain: "OW! MY TOOTH! MY TOOTH! MY TOOTH!"

When you watch this episode on TV, the dentist scene is cut completely. That to me doesn't make any sense. It's like when Ralph bites into the candy during the last scene, anybody can say: "Why is Ralph screaming in pain when that medicine he took was supposed to work?" Also, during the last scenes, Jackie forgot which side of his mouth his character is supposed to have the toothache.

"A Little Man Who Wasn't There":

According to John K’s book “To The Moon”, this episode’s title is: “The Little Man Who Wasn’t There.”

In 1988, the Honeymooners comic books did this episode in comic book form (complete with black & white images). Not all the dialogue from the episode made the comic though. This was the only episode that got this treatment.

In 2020, this episode was colorized and put on YouTube. It has since been taken down.

MPI Video says that this episode goes down as one of the funniest Honeymooners episodes ever made. I disagree with that because although this episode is funny, it isn't one that will make you laugh until your eyes water (because of laughter.)

Ed comes into the unlocked empty Kramden apartment. Ralph comes home all steamed up. Some passengers on Ralph's bus who have been offended by him have complained to the bus company, so Ralph's boss orders him to see the company psychiatrist. Ralph thinks that the boss thinks he's crazy, and that this is the end of his career as a bus driver. So Ed decides to give Ralph a knee test (i.e. letting one person hitting your knee to see if it will go up.) Ed hits Ralph in the knee with a small hammer but his knee didn't go up. Both Ed and Ralph say that it should and that Ed should hit it harder. He does it, but it doesn't work. So he tries to hit his knee unexpectedly. He does and Ralph groans in pain and walks around in pain. Jackie's facial expressions and hollering in fake pain is funny if you know what I mean. Ed leaves. Alice enters and sings: "Crazy people" much to Ralph's chagrin. Today, she might have sung: "You Drive Me Crazy" by Brittney Spears. Ralph: "I hit my leg with a hammer but it won't go up." Alice: "If you keep talking like that, you will be taken away." Ralph explains what happened to him today and that Alice says that Ralph isn't crazy just because he is going to see a psychiatrist. Ralph calms down.

Ralph takes Norton with him to the psychiatrist's office and within minutes they're fighting (because Ed said that there would be no way that Ralph would be taken away in a straitjacket because there is no one straitjacket big enough. The doctor enters the room and finds Norton standing on a desk and Ralph threatening to beat him up. The doctor thinks that Ed is Ralph, but Ralph says that he is Ralph and that Ed is his friend. The doctor sits down and notices Ralph walks with a slight limp. Ralph says that it isn't because he let Ed hit his knee with a hammer today to see if his knee would go up. Yeah, the doctor doesn't think that Ralph is crazy at all. The doctor brings out a game for Ralph to play. He has to put shapes into their appropriate holes on a board. Ed: "Can three people play?" Ed also says: "You can't put a square box into a round hole?" Ralph: "No, then how did you get your head in your hat?" Ralph is getting frustrated with the game and when Ed leaves the room (after saying that Ralph is a sick boy), Ralph is able to concentrate. Ralph says that he has known Ed since childhood (despite the fact that in "Kramden vs. Norton" that they have known each other since the Kramdens moved in.) The doctor says that Ed is his problem and that if he hung around him any loner, he would get a nervous breakdown. Ralph leaves the place (without telling Ed what the doctor told him.)

At home, Ralph is thinking about how he should get rid of Ed. Writing a letter and slipping it under Ed's door is his only good option (or so he thinks). When Ralph is in the other room, Ed comes in with a friend to pick him up to go bowling. Ed sees the letter and thinks that Ralph will commit suicide. He decides to stick to Ralph like glue, to prevent him from killing himself. The friend leaves, saying that he can't bowl at a time like this, so he will play pool. In "Pardon My Glove" something similar happened. In that episode, when Ralph thinks that Alice is seeing a man behind his back, Ed asks Ralph to bowl and Ralph says he can't bowl at a time like this. So Ed asks for a game of pool. Ralph tries putting things together and when Ed comes down to go bowling, Ralph tries to get him mad so their friendship would be dissolved but to no avail. So when Ed leaves, Ralph is even more upset.

At a pool hall, the next day, Ralph is talking to a friend of his and explains that even though he hasn't been seeing him, he has been seeing him. Ralph: "I see him but I know that he is at work." The friend explains something similar that happened to a friend of his and his dog when the dog got sick. He kept on seeing the dog, even though he was at home, so the friend ended up being put away. Ralph tries to play pool and when he sees Ed, he is convinced (or so he thinks) that he is crazy.

Ralph races home and explains the whole situation of him seeing Ed but he knows that he is at work. Alice is convinced that Ralph needs medicine to calm him down and when Ed comes in, Ralph thinks it is her. Ed leaves. Alice comes in and Ralph said that she looked like Norton. The doctor comes in and gets told of the whole situation, so he thinks that Ralph is crazy. Ed comes in and explains that he has stuck to Ralph like glue because he didn't want to commit suicide like he said in the letter. Ralph explains that the letter was to tell him not to see him (Ralph) again because the doctor said that was made him (Ralph) crazy. After hearing this, the doctor says that Ralph and Ed need to remain friends so that Ralph can keep an eye on Ed at all times. The doctor leaves and Alice lies down. A man comes by dressed as Norton. Ralph sees the man and perhaps feels that maybe he is crazy after all.

"Unconventional Behavior":

On my 16th birthday on June 23, 1996, I got this tape. I told everyone that I wanted the tape that has the episode where Ed & Ralph are handcuffed (I didn't know the title of the episode yet.) It was the first of a WHOLE LOT of Honeymooners things that I would collect.

In the same episode, particularly the first half, there is someone in the audience with a real noticeable and obnoxious laugh. Trixie comes in and she talks to Alice. They talk over the upcoming Raccoon convention in Minneapolis. Ed saved a lot of money where Ralph saved about 50 cents and that Ralph is going to ask Alice for the money. But, she will give it to him. Trixie brings up the fact that she was at the butcher's and how the people running the place are not nice. (One of them called her "sweetie-pie" and the other one called her "honey.") Ed comes down and Trixie explained what happened to her at the butcher's. Ed is upset, but not because of the name-calling but because of the prices they offer for meat. The girls go upstairs as Ed tires to set his watch. Ralph comes in. Ed just set his watch by the nearby Chinese restaurant which opens at 5pm every day. Ed: "I can prove it to you. They start cooking the egg foo young at 5:26. The first whiff reaches my apartment at 5:28. The first whiff reaches your apartment at 5:26:56." Ed's watch malfunctions a lot so he sets his watch by the Chinese restaurant a lot. Ralph: "Would it be easier to get a new watch?" Ed says that there is nothing works with his watch except it needs a new something and he will write a letter to Walt Disney tonight. Ralph shows Ed all the toys he's going to bring to the convention. Ralph & Ed plan on using a lot of gags at the convention. Everything from false faces (masks) to bags for filling up with water so they can throw them out of the hotel window. Ed: "Remember last year at the convention when the police were cracking down on the people who were throwing water bags out of the hotel window? That didn't stop me, I kept on throwing." Ralph: "What happened?" Ed: "I almost drowned the window was closed." Ralph: "That figures, with you doing it." Ed said an almost exact same story in "The Hypnotist." Ralph says that he doesn’t have the money for the convention, so he will ask Alice for it by asking her to come along. Ed doesn't like that at all because Trixie come. Alice comes down and Ralph asks her to come along and for the money. Alice says yes to both and says that she was going to offer to give him the money anyway. Ralph is angry because now she is coming and he didn't have to ask her. Alice: "We are going to have so much fun." Alice goes into the bedroom. Ed says that they will have a lot of fun with the wives along. Ed: "How do you get us into these fixes?" Ralph: "Very simple." (yells): "I HAVE GOT A BIIIIIG MOUTH!"

On the train that they think is going to Minneapolis and near the births (bunks) that Ralph & Ed will use, Ed wears a mask and scares Ralph. Ralph: "What is the matter with you?" Ralph goes over how much fun this convention will be. The boys are concerned that the girls haven't arrived yet. They think it is terrible that if they miss the train because they will now have more fun. They laugh at the terribleness of the girls missing the train. The conductor yells: "ALL ABOARD!" Some train noise is heard. Ed shows Ralph some of the other toys he brought, like trick handcuffs. He puts them on himself and Ralph and when he says: "Boomph!” they will fall off. He says the word a few times, but it doesn't work. Uh oh! They try to get out of the handcuffs. Ed tries to break them by stepping on them, but it doesn't work. Ralph is upset. They will go to sleep now and tomorrow they will get a hacksaw and get out of the cuffs. They will now have to sleep on the bottom bunk. For some reason, no train noise indicating that it is moving is heard. You think that there would be. Ed says that it's hot sleeping with the jacket on and they both try to take the jackets off but they can't because of the cuffs. Oh God! They put on the coats. I guess they didn't want them to get wrinkled. Then Ed wants to sleep on the other side of the bed because he is getting claustrophobic. He moves to the other side and accidentally knees Jackie in the groin causing Jackie to say: "You're breaking my arm!" That wasn't supposed to happen. He then asks Ralph if he can sleep on the top bunk because he can't sleep on his back. Ralph is now more upset. But orders Ed to go up there and sleep on his stomach. Ralph's handcuffed arm is now in pain due to the blood running. Ralph: "Reach down a little!" Ed: "Reach up a little!" Ed then says: "I wonder where the girls are because if they missed it, I'm glad because they would have been nothing but trouble. They would be huh? More trouble then him and Ralph being handcuffed? Ed asks Ralph if he can smoke. Ralph: "I don't care if you burn!" Ed says they are some cigarettes underneath his bunk. Ralph orders Ed to get down and get the cigarette and asks Ed if he's hungry, thirsty and if everything is fine. Everything is. Ed goes back up and asks Ralph if he has a match. A studio audience member says: “Ha ha! A match.” Ralph is now angry. He gets Norton down and the conductor asks what the trouble is. Ralph explains what happened. Ralph (yells): "I HAVE TO BE HANDCUFFED TO THIS IDIOT ALL THE WAY TO MINNEAPOLIS." Conductor: "Gentlemen, we are going in the other direction to Norfolk, Virginia." D'oh! Not something that Ralph & Ed wanted to hear. They sit down on Ralph's bunk as the episode ends.

In a 1988 issue of The Honeymooners comics series, the writers wrote a continuation of this storyline. Ralph & Ed, while still being handcuffed, get on the right train to Minneapolis with Ed annoying Ralph all the while. The girls get to Minneapolis and see a whole lot of Raccoon members in the hotel acting crazy and yelling: "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Funny hi-jinks are that Trixie gets doused with water from a flower on one of the Raccoon jackets and the girls deciding to have some fun by dropping bags of water out the hotel window (with the window open of course) and the bag landing on Ralph.

"Boys & Girls Together":

When I recorded this episode in 1997, I really thought it was a two-parter, but I was proved wrong. Also, you want to talk about edits, nearly half this episode is cut when it is shown on TV.

Alice is planning to go out to dinner with Ralph. Ralph has other plans. He and Ed are bowling for The Hurricanes. If they win this "very important" game, the team will tie another team for eighth place. Alice is upset. Another family (the Fallons) move in. Ralph welcomes Mr. Fallon by inviting him to join him and Norton for pool, bowling, and lodge meetings, but Fallon is busy all the nights Ralph and Norton go out together--he spends all those nights with his wife. Later, Trixie tells Alice that she read in a magazine that the reason men spend so much time apart from their wives is because the wives let themselves go and allow their marriages to become dull and predictable. The girls make a pact to bring romance back to Chauncey Street.

This is the first scene that you will see on TV. The next day, Alice is all dressed up and turns of the lights, lights a candle and welcomes Ralph. Ralph: "So you forgot to pay the electric bill, huh?" That is funny. Alice says that with the lights off and a candle lit, it is romantic. Ralph: "Who do you think we are, Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds?" Alice tries to do more romantic things for Ralph like hugs and kisses, a bushel of compliments, a roast-beef dinner, and romantic music, but Ralph doesn't change. Alice dances and offers Ralph to dance with her. He doesn't and says to Alice a line that would be repeated in "Mama Loves Mambo": "You want to wiggle? Wiggle over to the stove and get my supper." Soon each is pouring out fourteen years of frustration. Alice is complaining about him playing Skee-Ball tournaments. Gee, a Skee-Ball tournament. I didn't know that they EVER existed. Ralph: "It's the money that I won in the Skee-Ball tournaments that practically furnished this whole apartment. It's the prizes that I won in the pie-eating contest that got you that dress. What do I have to show for it?" (yells): "DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT!"

Then Alice lays down the law: Ralph will be allowed out alone one night a week; any other night he goes out he has to take her with him. Alice: "From now on, you are going to act like Mr. Fallon." Ralph: "So that's the bum that's behind all this." Since this is the first scene that you will see on TV, the viewer will say: "Who's Mr. Fallon?" Ralph objects but it falls on death ears.

Ralph talks to Ed the next day. After four nights out with Alice, Ralph is invoking the Constitution and his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Ed: "But the marriage license is an amendment to the Constitution." Ed has an idea: They will walk faster than the girls and eventually the girls will lose them." Ralph thinks that that idea is stupid. Alice and Trixie have said they want to spend time with their husbands but not spoil their fun, so Ralph figures the way for him and Norton to win back their freedom is to keep the girls out so late that they ask to go home, thus "spoiling" their husbands' night out and disqualifying themselves from participating in the boys' activities. When I watched this episode with a friend of mine, he said that Ed's idea was better.

Hours later--after pool, rowing boats, visiting Roseland and Coney Island, and bowling--the girls are invigorated and the boys are walking zombies. They stop in a restaurant and Ralph and Norton can't even stay awake. Ralph: "We are going to stay out and enjoy ourselves." Half asleep, Ralph and Ed wind up dancing together (which gets an ovation from the crowd), and then fall asleep standing up. The girls give up trying to keep them awake. Alice: "All right Bellows and Yolanda." They ask to go home. Ralph and Norton drag themselves home, victorious, but not before Ralph has trouble going through the revolving door because of lack of sleep.

"Ralph's Sweet Tooth":

In 1986, for the reboot of the Honeymooners comic book series, this storyline was used for the first story of the first issue of the rebooted comic book series and it was printed in color (unlike the other lost episode storyline, "A Little Man Who Wasn't There", which was printed in B&W.)

Alice is cleaning the floor when Trixie comes in. Trixie gets told not to step on the floor so Trixie has to do her best not to get the floor dirty. According to her, it's like she is playing Potsie. Trixie asks Alice for shoes for Ed. Ed wants them to be yellow because they will go great with his Bermuda shorts. Alice doesn't have any. After this, Trixie leaves. Ralph comes in with the news. Alice tells him to stay on the paper not once, not twice, but three times. Ralph gets upset and says he will never tell Alice what happened to him today. This lasts for a few seconds when Ralph says: "You got to ask me what happened to me today." Ralph tells Alice that he is going to be on the Choosy Chew Symphony Hour and he is going to be interviewed by the Choosy Chew Roving Reporter about how he likes Choosy Chew Candy (something he has never tasted before). Every week the roving reporter asks a different type of person like a railroad conductor etc. Ralph is getting paid $100 for this. I wonder if that money would be increased if something like this was being done today. As Ralph is explaining the news, his thermos bottle almost rolls of the table causing Ralph to catch it before it falls off. I wonder if that was in the script.

Ralph rehearses his speech and says the parts that he put in, which is: "Yummy-yum-yum!" Alice doesn't like that part as well as the other part of the speech Ralph put in which is: "It's goody-good-candy!" Ralph goes into the bedroom just as Ed comes in with shorts on and loud socks which causes Alice to scream. When I saw this episode on WPIX, I thought that Alice screamed about the fact that Ed was wearing shorts and loud socks. When I saw this episode on tape, I found out that in the beginning (before Ralph came in), Trixie asked Alice for yellow shoes. So now Ed is also wearing yellow shoes. With all of that, why is that enough to scare Alice? Ralph comes in, sees Ed, and says that Ed is nuts for wearing that. Ed leaves but comes back when girls outside of the apartment look at Ed and scream when they see him. Ed: "The neighborhood isn't ready for this yet." Ralph: "They will never be ready for that."

Ralph explains the good news to Ed about him being on the Choosy Chew Symphony Hour. He rehearses his speech but has a lot of trouble so Ed helps out by reading the reporter's script. That doesn't help. Ed tries to study the reporter's script. Ralph explains that he has to know his script and Ed doesn't have to study anything Considering that the reporter's script is shorter, he says Ralph should memorize the reporter's script so he will have less to learn. Ralph of course probably thinks that Ed is dumb for saying that. Ralph rehearses the script himself but Ed thinks the "yummy-yum-yum!" part is funny and he would like to meet the guy who wrote that. Ralph kicks him out after that.

The night before of the show, Ralph gets a bad toothache so he wears something around his head to protect the tooth. He makes so much commotion that McGarrity from upstairs tells him to shut up. Ralph yells to McGarrity for that comment. Ed comes down and Ralph explains that he has a toothache. Ralph: "Why do you think I have this thing on for?" Ed: "I thought you was going to be a bunny rabbit on that TV show tomorrow." Ha! Alice says that since Ralph is afraid to go to the dentist, Dr. Durgeom, how is he going to go on the show? Ed offers buy giving him a drink that he thought was going to cure his pain but gives him the hiccups instead. So Ed gives him some water. Ralph drinks it. Ralph (yells): "OW! THE WATER IS COLD!" Ed (yells): "THE WATER WAS FOR YOUR HIC-CUPS, NOT YOUR TOOTH." Ed devises a plan to get rid of Ralph's tooth. He will tie one string on Ralph's tooth and tie the other end around a door knob and when he closes the door, the tooth will come out. Alice doesn't want any part of it. Ed does his plan, but it doesn't work, as the door knob falls out. Ralph now has a door knob hanging out of his mouth. Ed thinks of another similar plan. Only difference is the other end of the string will be on the back end of his car. Ralph: "You are an idiot." Ed: "Maybe I am an idiot, but I don't have a door knob hanging out of my mouth." This whole scene was shown on NBC's TV's Funniest Friends and Neighbors in 1995. Ed leaves. Ralph complains about the toothache more and says that a Choosy Chew will increase the pain. McGarrity (from upstairs, yells): "GIVE HIM A CHOOSY CHEW!" Ralph goes to the window and asks McGarrity who's late with the rent, who leaves his garbage outside in the hall etc and a lot of people shout with this answer: "RALPH KRAMDEN!"

The next day at the dentist, Ed accompanies Ralph. Ralph says that there is no pain, but to no avail. Ed tries to help Ralph too, but it doesn't work. The dentist wants to pull Ralph's tooth out and to do so, he puts some pain killer on the tooth to temporarily get rid of the pain. The dentist steps out for a moment, so Ralph grabs that pain killer and scrams. To make up for it, he gives the dentist's secretary $5. Yeah, he ain't robbing the dentist's office. The secretary explains to Dr. Durgeom what Ralph did. Dr. Durgeom: "What Ralph plans to do won't do him any good. In order for that pain killer to work properly, it must be refrigerated." D'oh! This is going to be a big surprise for Ralph.

The night just before the TV show, Ralph is rehearsing his lines with the Choosy Chew Roving Reporter and the show's director. It occurs to me that for anybody to rehearse this type of scene, it would be hard if they were reading the script, showing each food separately, holding the lunch box and biting into the Choosy Chew. When Ralph mentions the "yummy-yum-yum!" part, the director says he wants to see the guy who wrote that in his office on Monday. Ralph, of course doesn't mention that it was him and when he read the "it's goody-good-candy!" part, the director says nothing. The show is starting to start and Alice wishes Ralph good luck. She leaves. Ralph puts the pain killer on. He probably didn't tell Alice what he did. The show starts. When the show starts, you can see old CBS camera with their trademark logo on them. When the show goes to the Choosy Chew Roving Reporter part, at first it's a bad camera angle. Just watch this scene and you will know what I am talking about. But, that error disappears within seconds. Ralph, nervously, tries to open the door but he can't get in so the Roving Reporter (played by George Petrie by the way), opens it for him. Ralph messes up his lines a bit. (This was in the original script of this Honeymooners episode). As Ralph is reading his lines, a cue card lady helps Ralph by giving him the cue cards to read. Ralph says to the reporter that for lunch, he eats a slice of cake and some other foods. All of those foods combined would make a very big lunch. (This was in the original script of this Honeymooners episode). When Ralph bites into the Choosy Chew Candy Bar, the fun begins. Ralph walks all over the set, disrupting the Choosy Chew Orchestra, while screaming in pain: "OW! MY TOOTH! MY TOOTH! MY TOOTH!"

When you watch this episode on TV, the dentist scene is cut completely. That to me doesn't make any sense. It's like when Ralph bites into the candy during the last scene, anybody can say: "Why is Ralph screaming in pain when that medicine he took was supposed to work?" Also, during the last scenes, Jackie forgot which side of his mouth his character is supposed to have the toothache.

"A Little Man Who Wasn't There":

According to John K’s book “To The Moon”, this episode’s title is: “The Little Man Who Wasn’t There.”

In 1988, the Honeymooners comic books did this episode in comic book form (complete with black & white images). Not all the dialogue from the episode made the comic though. This was the only episode that got this treatment.

In 2020, this episode was colorized and put on YouTube. It has since been taken down.

MPI Video says that this episode goes down as one of the funniest Honeymooners episodes ever made. I disagree with that because although this episode is funny, it isn't one that will make you laugh until your eyes water (because of laughter.)

Ed comes into the unlocked empty Kramden apartment. Ralph comes home all steamed up. Some passengers on Ralph's bus who have been offended by him have complained to the bus company, so Ralph's boss orders him to see the company psychiatrist. Ralph thinks that the boss thinks he's crazy, and that this is the end of his career as a bus driver. So Ed decides to give Ralph a knee test (i.e. letting one person hitting your knee to see if it will go up.) Ed hits Ralph in the knee with a small hammer but his knee didn't go up. Both Ed and Ralph say that it should and that Ed should hit it harder. He does it, but it doesn't work. So he tries to hit his knee unexpectedly. He does and Ralph groans in pain and walks around in pain. Jackie's facial expressions and hollering in fake pain is funny if you know what I mean. Ed leaves. Alice enters and sings: "Crazy people" much to Ralph's chagrin. Today, she might have sung: "You Drive Me Crazy" by Brittney Spears. Ralph: "I hit my leg with a hammer but it won't go up." Alice: "If you keep talking like that, you will be taken away." Ralph explains what happened to him today and that Alice says that Ralph isn't crazy just because he is going to see a psychiatrist. Ralph calms down.

Ralph takes Norton with him to the psychiatrist's office and within minutes they're fighting (because Ed said that there would be no way that Ralph would be taken away in a straitjacket because there is no one straitjacket big enough. The doctor enters the room and finds Norton standing on a desk and Ralph threatening to beat him up. The doctor thinks that Ed is Ralph, but Ralph says that he is Ralph and that Ed is his friend. The doctor sits down and notices Ralph walks with a slight limp. Ralph says that it isn't because he let Ed hit his knee with a hammer today to see if his knee would go up. Yeah, the doctor doesn't think that Ralph is crazy at all. The doctor brings out a game for Ralph to play. He has to put shapes into their appropriate holes on a board. Ed: "Can three people play?" Ed also says: "You can't put a square box into a round hole?" Ralph: "No, then how did you get your head in your hat?" Ralph is getting frustrated with the game and when Ed leaves the room (after saying that Ralph is a sick boy), Ralph is able to concentrate. Ralph says that he has known Ed since childhood (despite the fact that in "Kramden vs. Norton" that they have known each other since the Kramdens moved in.) The doctor says that Ed is his problem and that if he hung around him any loner, he would get a nervous breakdown. Ralph leaves the place (without telling Ed what the doctor told him.)

At home, Ralph is thinking about how he should get rid of Ed. Writing a letter and slipping it under Ed's door is his only good option (or so he thinks). When Ralph is in the other room, Ed comes in with a friend to pick him up to go bowling. Ed sees the letter and thinks that Ralph will commit suicide. He decides to stick to Ralph like glue, to prevent him from killing himself. The friend leaves, saying that he can't bowl at a time like this, so he will play pool. In "Pardon My Glove" something similar happened. In that episode, when Ralph thinks that Alice is seeing a man behind his back, Ed asks Ralph to bowl and Ralph says he can't bowl at a time like this. So Ed asks for a game of pool. Ralph tries putting things together and when Ed comes down to go bowling, Ralph tries to get him mad so their friendship would be dissolved but to no avail. So when Ed leaves, Ralph is even more upset.

At a pool hall, the next day, Ralph is talking to a friend of his and explains that even though he hasn't been seeing him, he has been seeing him. Ralph: "I see him but I know that he is at work." The friend explains something similar that happened to a friend of his and his dog when the dog got sick. He kept on seeing the dog, even though he was at home, so the friend ended up being put away. Ralph tries to play pool and when he sees Ed, he is convinced (or so he thinks) that he is crazy.

Ralph races home and explains the whole situation of him seeing Ed but he knows that he is at work. Alice is convinced that Ralph needs medicine to calm him down and when Ed comes in, Ralph thinks it is her. Ed leaves. Alice comes in and Ralph said that she looked like Norton. The doctor comes in and gets told of the whole situation, so he thinks that Ralph is crazy. Ed comes in and explains that he has stuck to Ralph like glue because he didn't want to commit suicide like he said in the letter. Ralph explains that the letter was to tell him not to see him (Ralph) again because the doctor said that was made him (Ralph) crazy. After hearing this, the doctor says that Ralph and Ed need to remain friends so that Ralph can keep an eye on Ed at all times. The doctor leaves and Alice lies down. A man comes by dressed as Norton. Ralph sees the man and perhaps feels that maybe he is crazy after all.

"Unconventional Behavior":

On my 16th birthday on June 23, 1996, I got this tape. I told everyone that I wanted the tape that has the episode where Ed & Ralph are handcuffed (I didn't know the title of the episode yet.) It was the first of a WHOLE LOT of Honeymooners things that I would collect.

In the same episode, particularly the first half, there is someone in the audience with a real noticeable and obnoxious laugh. Trixie comes in and she talks to Alice. They talk over the upcoming Raccoon convention in Minneapolis. Ed saved a lot of money where Ralph saved about 50 cents and that Ralph is going to ask Alice for the money. But, she will give it to him. Trixie brings up the fact that she was at the butcher's and how the people running the place are not nice. (One of them called her "sweetie-pie" and the other one called her "honey.") Ed comes down and Trixie explained what happened to her at the butcher's. Ed is upset, but not because of the name-calling but because of the prices they offer for meat. The girls go upstairs as Ed tires to set his watch. Ralph comes in. Ed just set his watch by the nearby Chinese restaurant which opens at 5pm every day. Ed: "I can prove it to you. They start cooking the egg foo young at 5:26. The first whiff reaches my apartment at 5:28. The first whiff reaches your apartment at 5:26:56." Ed's watch malfunctions a lot so he sets his watch by the Chinese restaurant a lot. Ralph: "Would it be easier to get a new watch?" Ed says that there is nothing works with his watch except it needs a new something and he will write a letter to Walt Disney tonight. Ralph shows Ed all the toys he's going to bring to the convention. Ralph & Ed plan on using a lot of gags at the convention. Everything from false faces (masks) to bags for filling up with water so they can throw them out of the hotel window. Ed: "Remember last year at the convention when the police were cracking down on the people who were throwing water bags out of the hotel window? That didn't stop me, I kept on throwing." Ralph: "What happened?" Ed: "I almost drowned the window was closed." Ralph: "That figures, with you doing it." Ed said an almost exact same story in "The Hypnotist." Ralph says that he doesn’t have the money for the convention, so he will ask Alice for it by asking her to come along. Ed doesn't like that at all because Trixie come. Alice comes down and Ralph asks her to come along and for the money. Alice says yes to both and says that she was going to offer to give him the money anyway. Ralph is angry because now she is coming and he didn't have to ask her. Alice: "We are going to have so much fun." Alice goes into the bedroom. Ed says that they will have a lot of fun with the wives along. Ed: "How do you get us into these fixes?" Ralph: "Very simple." (yells): "I HAVE GOT A BIIIIIG MOUTH!"

On the train that they think is going to Minneapolis and near the births (bunks) that Ralph & Ed will use, Ed wears a mask and scares Ralph. Ralph: "What is the matter with you?" Ralph goes over how much fun this convention will be. The boys are concerned that the girls haven't arrived yet. They think it is terrible that if they miss the train because they will now have more fun. They laugh at the terribleness of the girls missing the train. The conductor yells: "ALL ABOARD!" Some train noise is heard. Ed shows Ralph some of the other toys he brought, like trick handcuffs. He puts them on himself and Ralph and when he says: "Boomph!” they will fall off. He says the word a few times, but it doesn't work. Uh oh! They try to get out of the handcuffs. Ed tries to break them by stepping on them, but it doesn't work. Ralph is upset. They will go to sleep now and tomorrow they will get a hacksaw and get out of the cuffs. They will now have to sleep on the bottom bunk. For some reason, no train noise indicating that it is moving is heard. You think that there would be. Ed says that it's hot sleeping with the jacket on and they both try to take the jackets off but they can't because of the cuffs. Oh God! They put on the coats. I guess they didn't want them to get wrinkled. Then Ed wants to sleep on the other side of the bed because he is getting claustrophobic. He moves to the other side and accidentally knees Jackie in the groin causing Jackie to say: "You're breaking my arm!" That wasn't supposed to happen. He then asks Ralph if he can sleep on the top bunk because he can't sleep on his back. Ralph is now more upset. But orders Ed to go up there and sleep on his stomach. Ralph's handcuffed arm is now in pain due to the blood running. Ralph: "Reach down a little!" Ed: "Reach up a little!" Ed then says: "I wonder where the girls are because if they missed it, I'm glad because they would have been nothing but trouble. They would be huh? More trouble then him and Ralph being handcuffed? Ed asks Ralph if he can smoke. Ralph: "I don't care if you burn!" Ed says they are some cigarettes underneath his bunk. Ralph orders Ed to get down and get the cigarette and asks Ed if he's hungry, thirsty and if everything is fine. Everything is. Ed goes back up and asks Ralph if he has a match. A studio audience member says: “Ha ha! A match.” Ralph is now angry. He gets Norton down and the conductor asks what the trouble is. Ralph explains what happened. Ralph (yells): "I HAVE TO BE HANDCUFFED TO THIS IDIOT ALL THE WAY TO MINNEAPOLIS." Conductor: "Gentlemen, we are going in the other direction to Norfolk, Virginia." D'oh! Not something that Ralph & Ed wanted to hear. They sit down on Ralph's bunk as the episode ends.

In a 1988 issue of The Honeymooners comics series, the writers wrote a continuation of this storyline. Ralph & Ed, while still being handcuffed, get on the right train to Minneapolis with Ed annoying Ralph all the while. The girls get to Minneapolis and see a whole lot of Raccoon members in the hotel acting crazy and yelling: "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Funny hi-jinks are that Trixie gets doused with water from a flower on one of the Raccoon jackets and the girls deciding to have some fun by dropping bags of water out the hotel window (with the window open of course) and the bag landing on Ralph.

"Boys & Girls Together":

When I recorded this episode in 1997, I really thought it was a two-parter, but I was proved wrong. Also, you want to talk about edits, nearly half this episode is cut when it is shown on TV.

Alice is planning to go out to dinner with Ralph. Ralph has other plans. He and Ed are bowling for The Hurricanes. If they win this "very important" game, the team will tie another team for eighth place. Alice is upset. Another family (the Fallons) move in. Ralph welcomes Mr. Fallon by inviting him to join him and Norton for pool, bowling, and lodge meetings, but Fallon is busy all the nights Ralph and Norton go out together--he spends all those nights with his wife. Later, Trixie tells Alice that she read in a magazine that the reason men spend so much time apart from their wives is because the wives let themselves go and allow their marriages to become dull and predictable. The girls make a pact to bring romance back to Chauncey Street.

This is the first scene that you will see on TV. The next day, Alice is all dressed up and turns of the lights, lights a candle and welcomes Ralph. Ralph: "So you forgot to pay the electric bill, huh?" That is funny. Alice says that with the lights off and a candle lit, it is romantic. Ralph: "Who do you think we are, Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds?" Alice tries to do more romantic things for Ralph like hugs and kisses, a bushel of compliments, a roast-beef dinner, and romantic music, but Ralph doesn't change. Alice dances and offers Ralph to dance with her. He doesn't and says to Alice a line that would be repeated in "Mama Loves Mambo": "You want to wiggle? Wiggle over to the stove and get my supper." Soon each is pouring out fourteen years of frustration. Alice is complaining about him playing Skee-Ball tournaments. Gee, a Skee-Ball tournament. I didn't know that they EVER existed. Ralph: "It's the money that I won in the Skee-Ball tournaments that practically furnished this whole apartment. It's the prizes that I won in the pie-eating contest that got you that dress. What do I have to show for it?" (yells): "DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT!"

Then Alice lays down the law: Ralph will be allowed out alone one night a week; any other night he goes out he has to take her with him. Alice: "From now on, you are going to act like Mr. Fallon." Ralph: "So that's the bum that's behind all this." Since this is the first scene that you will see on TV, the viewer will say: "Who's Mr. Fallon?" Ralph objects but it falls on death ears.

Ralph talks to Ed the next day. After four nights out with Alice, Ralph is invoking the Constitution and his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Ed: "But the marriage license is an amendment to the Constitution." Ed has an idea: They will walk faster than the girls and eventually the girls will lose them." Ralph thinks that that idea is stupid. Alice and Trixie have said they want to spend time with their husbands but not spoil their fun, so Ralph figures the way for him and Norton to win back their freedom is to keep the girls out so late that they ask to go home, thus "spoiling" their husbands' night out and disqualifying themselves from participating in the boys' activities. When I watched this episode with a friend of mine, he said that Ed's idea was better.

Hours later--after pool, rowing boats, visiting Roseland and Coney Island, and bowling--the girls are invigorated and the boys are walking zombies. They stop in a restaurant and Ralph and Norton can't even stay awake. Ralph: "We are going to stay out and enjoy ourselves." Half asleep, Ralph and Ed wind up dancing together (which gets an ovation from the crowd), and then fall asleep standing up. The girls give up trying to keep them awake. Alice: "All right Bellows and Yolanda." They ask to go home. Ralph and Norton drag themselves home, victorious, but not before Ralph has trouble going through the revolving door because of lack of sleep.

"Ralph's Sweet Tooth":

In 1986, for the reboot of the Honeymooners comic book series, this storyline was used for the first story of the first issue of the rebooted comic book series and it was printed in color (unlike the other lost episode storyline, "A Little Man Who Wasn't There", which was printed in B&W.)

Alice is cleaning the floor when Trixie comes in. Trixie gets told not to step on the floor so Trixie has to do her best not to get the floor dirty. According to her, it's like she is playing Potsie. Trixie asks Alice for shoes for Ed. Ed wants them to be yellow because they will go great with his Bermuda shorts. Alice doesn't have any. After this, Trixie leaves. Ralph comes in with the news. Alice tells him to stay on the paper not once, not twice, but three times. Ralph gets upset and says he will never tell Alice what happened to him today. This lasts for a few seconds when Ralph says: "You got to ask me what happened to me today." Ralph tells Alice that he is going to be on the Choosy Chew Symphony Hour and he is going to be interviewed by the Choosy Chew Roving Reporter about how he likes Choosy Chew Candy (something he has never tasted before). Every week the roving reporter asks a different type of person like a railroad conductor etc. Ralph is getting paid $100 for this. I wonder if that money would be increased if something like this was being done today. As Ralph is explaining the news, his thermos bottle almost rolls of the table causing Ralph to catch it before it falls off. I wonder if that was in the script.

Ralph rehearses his speech and says the parts that he put in, which is: "Yummy-yum-yum!" Alice doesn't like that part as well as the other part of the speech Ralph put in which is: "It's goody-good-candy!" Ralph goes into the bedroom just as Ed comes in with shorts on and loud socks which causes Alice to scream. When I saw this episode on WPIX, I thought that Alice screamed about the fact that Ed was wearing shorts and loud socks. When I saw this episode on tape, I found out that in the beginning (before Ralph came in), Trixie asked Alice for yellow shoes. So now Ed is also wearing yellow shoes. With all of that, why is that enough to scare Alice? Ralph comes in, sees Ed, and says that Ed is nuts for wearing that. Ed leaves but comes back when girls outside of the apartment look at Ed and scream when they see him. Ed: "The neighborhood isn't ready for this yet." Ralph: "They will never be ready for that."

Ralph explains the good news to Ed about him being on the Choosy Chew Symphony Hour. He rehearses his speech but has a lot of trouble so Ed helps out by reading the reporter's script. That doesn't help. Ed tries to study the reporter's script. Ralph explains that he has to know his script and Ed doesn't have to study anything Considering that the reporter's script is shorter, he says Ralph should memorize the reporter's script so he will have less to learn. Ralph of course probably thinks that Ed is dumb for saying that. Ralph rehearses the script himself but Ed thinks the "yummy-yum-yum!" part is funny and he would like to meet the guy who wrote that. Ralph kicks him out after that.

The night before of the show, Ralph gets a bad toothache so he wears something around his head to protect the tooth. He makes so much commotion that McGarrity from upstairs tells him to shut up. Ralph yells to McGarrity for that comment. Ed comes down and Ralph explains that he has a toothache. Ralph: "Why do you think I have this thing on for?" Ed: "I thought you was going to be a bunny rabbit on that TV show tomorrow." Ha! Alice says that since Ralph is afraid to go to the dentist, Dr. Durgeom, how is he going to go on the show? Ed offers buy giving him a drink that he thought was going to cure his pain but gives him the hiccups instead. So Ed gives him some water. Ralph drinks it. Ralph (yells): "OW! THE WATER IS COLD!" Ed (yells): "THE WATER WAS FOR YOUR HIC-CUPS, NOT YOUR TOOTH." Ed devises a plan to get rid of Ralph's tooth. He will tie one string on Ralph's tooth and tie the other end around a door knob and when he closes the door, the tooth will come out. Alice doesn't want any part of it. Ed does his plan, but it doesn't work, as the door knob falls out. Ralph now has a door knob hanging out of his mouth. Ed thinks of another similar plan. Only difference is the other end of the string will be on the back end of his car. Ralph: "You are an idiot." Ed: "Maybe I am an idiot, but I don't have a door knob hanging out of my mouth." This whole scene was shown on NBC's TV's Funniest Friends and Neighbors in 1995. Ed leaves. Ralph complains about the toothache more and says that a Choosy Chew will increase the pain. McGarrity (from upstairs, yells): "GIVE HIM A CHOOSY CHEW!" Ralph goes to the window and asks McGarrity who's late with the rent, who leaves his garbage outside in the hall etc and a lot of people shout with this answer: "RALPH KRAMDEN!"

The next day at the dentist, Ed accompanies Ralph. Ralph says that there is no pain, but to no avail. Ed tries to help Ralph too, but it doesn't work. The dentist wants to pull Ralph's tooth out and to do so, he puts some pain killer on the tooth to temporarily get rid of the pain. The dentist steps out for a moment, so Ralph grabs that pain killer and scrams. To make up for it, he gives the dentist's secretary $5. Yeah, he ain't robbing the dentist's office. The secretary explains to Dr. Durgeom what Ralph did. Dr. Durgeom: "What Ralph plans to do won't do him any good. In order for that pain killer to work properly, it must be refrigerated." D'oh! This is going to be a big surprise for Ralph.

The night just before the TV show, Ralph is rehearsing his lines with the Choosy Chew Roving Reporter and the show's director. It occurs to me that for anybody to rehearse this type of scene, it would be hard if they were reading the script, showing each food separately, holding the lunch box and biting into the Choosy Chew. When Ralph mentions the "yummy-yum-yum!" part, the director says he wants to see the guy who wrote that in his office on Monday. Ralph, of course doesn't mention that it was him and when he read the "it's goody-good-candy!" part, the director says nothing. The show is starting to start and Alice wishes Ralph good luck. She leaves. Ralph puts the pain killer on. He probably didn't tell Alice what he did. The show starts. When the show starts, you can see old CBS camera with their trademark logo on them. When the show goes to the Choosy Chew Roving Reporter part, at first it's a bad camera angle. Just watch this scene and you will know what I am talking about. But, that error disappears within seconds. Ralph, nervously, tries to open the door but he can't get in so the Roving Reporter (played by George Petrie by the way), opens it for him. Ralph messes up his lines a bit. (This was in the original script of this Honeymooners episode). As Ralph is reading his lines, a cue card lady helps Ralph by giving him the cue cards to read. Ralph says to the reporter that for lunch, he eats a slice of cake and some other foods. All of those foods combined would make a very big lunch. (This was in the original script of this Honeymooners episode). When Ralph bites into the Choosy Chew Candy Bar, the fun begins. Ralph walks all over the set, disrupting the Choosy Chew Orchestra, while screaming in pain: "OW! MY TOOTH! MY TOOTH! MY TOOTH!"

When you watch this episode on TV, the dentist scene is cut completely. That to me doesn't make any sense. It's like when Ralph bites into the candy during the last scene, anybody can say: "Why is Ralph screaming in pain when that medicine he took was supposed to work?" Also, during the last scenes, Jackie forgot which side of his mouth his character is supposed to have the toothache.
