Ralph Kramden, a NY NHL fan? (Part 1)

[Frank Gannucci]

(The Pittsburgh Penguins beat the NY Islanders 5-0.)

(Ralph & Ed meet for lunch at the bus company locker room.)

Ed: "What a bad hockey game last night. The hockey team that calls themselves the Islanders lost to the Sydney Crosbyless Penguins. How bad is that?"

Ralph: "Very bad."

Ed: "Those Penguins must be as bad as the Penguin in the Batman comics. They are that tough."

Ralph: "Ooooh, they ain't that good. The Penguins got lucky. We want to see the Rangers meet the Islanders meet in the third round. Those games will be hot tickets."

Ed: "That's true Ralph. For game 2, we will have to really show our support for the Islanders. Hey, in 2015 they are going to move to Brooklyn and play at the Barclay Center. They will be hometown boys like the Nets. I can even try to introduce them to the sewers like I did with the Nets. The Nets said that they had other plans though."

Ralph (sarcastically): "Gee, what a surprise."

(Ralph rolls his eyes.)

Ed: "We should be there at the arenas when our teams advance to the third round. As a matter of fact, we can go on the ice and skate."

Ralph: "Norton, if they ever ask you to donate your brain to science, do it. But, those Islanders better shape up."

Ed: "But, if the Penguins win, I won't mind. I like the fact that the team took the Penguin name. I liked Penguins the first time I saw Happy Feet."

(Ralph stands up, looks at Ed and points to the door.)

Ed: "This is no way..."

Ralph (yells): "OUUUUUUUUUUUUT!"

(Ed leaves.)

(Jackie Gleason walks on stage. Audience applauds.)

Jackie: "Thank you. The Miami Beach audiences are the BEST! GOOD NIGHT!"

(Audience cheers.)
