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

[Frank Gannucci]

(The Brooklyn Nets beat the Philadelphia 76ers 111-102.)

(Ralph & Ed watched the game in the pool room.)

Ed: “What a game Ralph. The Nets showed Philly some brotherly looove.”

(Ralph laughs.)

Ralph: “With the Nets as a sixth seed and Lebron James missing the playoffs for the first time in 13 years, the Nets just may win. Scratch that. They will.”

(Ed motions a scratch.)

Ralph: “What are you doing?”

Ed: “I am scratching it.”

Ralph: “You are ready for Bellevue pal.”

Ed: “Why is the team called the 76ers?”

Ralph: “Because In 1776 in Philadelphia, that is when this nation was born and it is also the birthplace of the U.S. Constitution.”

Ed: “That ain’t true. This country was born in 1492 when Christoper Columbus sailed the waters that lead into the NYC sewer...”

(Ralph rolls his eyes.)

Ed: “....and the Constitution is in Washington D.C. The birthplace of this great nation.”

(Ed does a salute. Crowd cheers.)

Ralph: “Yeah you are sooooo ready for Bellevue pal.”

Ed: “The Brooklyn team will win. OUR hometown team will win.”

(They sing a song about a hometown team.)

(Jackie walks on stage. Crowd cheers.)

Jackie: “GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE.”

(Crowd cheers.)
