Ralph Kramden, a NY NHL fan (Part 12)

[Frank Gannucci]

(The NY Rangers beat the Washington Capitals 1-0.)

(Ed gets on Ralph's bus.)

Ed: "Hey Ralph, what a Rangers game yesterday. The Raners won by one goal."

Ralph: "That one goal saved me. Remember that bet between Harvey and me that YOU orchastrated behind my back? If the Rangers lost, Harvey would kill me than I would KILL you."

Ed: "I guess the Rangers also saved me. They are part of nature's noble men."

Ralph: "Yes, I bet that Harvey is sweating bullets now. Hey, I bet those dumb Capitals players are swaeting bullets now. Ha ha ha."

Ed: "The Capitals are going down Ralph. I can feel it."

Ralph: "Oh, here comes Harvey and George now."

(Harvey and George come on the bus. They sit behind Ralph.)

Harvey: "So Ralph, you remember our bet? You were probably sweating like a pig. It's easy to sweat when you are that fat."

Ed: "Don't you worry. My boy Ralph, will give you the money. As a matter of fact, he says that the Capitals are going down."

Harvey: "Oh he does? I will up the ante. If the Rangers lose and don't get the cup, he pays ME $300. If they don't and do get the cup, I will pay him the $300."

Ed: "Deal."

Ralph (yells): "NORTON!"

George: "This is our stop Harvey."

(Harvey gets up.)

Harvey: "If you don't give mt the money, I will come get you."

Ed: "Ralph, you will become rich."

Ralph (yells): "GET OFF THE BUS! END OF THE LINE FOR YOU!"

(Ed leaves.)

(Jackie Gleason walks on stage. Audience applauds.)

Jackie: "Thank you. The MiamI Beach crowds are the BEST! GOOD NIGHT!"

(Audience cheers.)
