A Honeymooners Income Tax Day:
(Ralph & Ed are doing their taxes in the Kramden apartment and looking like they are stressed out. The wives come by. It’s 5p.)
Alice: “Ralph & Ed, why don’t you two take your taxes down to H&R Block?”
Ralph: “Because we can do this Alice. I refuse to be defeated by these IRS forms.”
Ed: “So do I.”
Ralph: “The IRS is gonna beat me over my dead body.”
Ed: “They can’t do that because they aren’t mountain climbers.”
Ralph: “Ooooh, you’re a riot Norton.”
Trixie: “You two weren’t exactly class valedictorians. Go to H&R Block.”
Ralph: “We will not. We will not be defeated.”
(Later on. Ralph & Ed are sleeping with their heads on the table due to exhaustion. They wake up just as the girls arrive.)
Ralph: “Norton. Where’s our taxes? It’s 9p on April 15th.”
Alice: “Ralph and Ed, what is wrong?”
Ralph: “Huminahumina.”
Alice: “You don’t think that your taxes could’ve been already been done and sent to the IRS?”
(The girls laugh.)
Alice: “We took our taxes to H&R Block while you two were sleeping and they got sent to the IRS.”
Ralph: “How could you do this?”
Alice: “We both are getting a $1,000 refund.”
Both men: “You are the greatest.”
(They hug their respective wives and both couples kiss.)
(Jackie walks on stage. Crowd cheers.)
Jackie: "I hope you all notice that we got a bunch of service members in the front row.”
(Audience cheers.)
Jackie: “Time to introduce the cast. First: Jean Kean."
(Audience cheers as Jean Kean comes on stage.)
Jackie: "Audrey Meadows."
(Audience cheers as Audrey comes on stage.)
Jackie: "Art Carney."
(Audience cheers as Art comes on stage.)
Jackie (yells): “GOOD NIGHT!”
