Ralph Kramden, a NY NBA fan? (Part 9)

[Frank Gannucci]

(The Brooklyn Nets won the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, 4 games to 1, by beating the Boston Celtics 123-109.)

(Ralph & Ed are on the subway.)

Ralph: "Wow! The Nets have advanced to the next round. What a romp."

Ed: "Yes. They really beat the Celtics like it was no tomorrow."

Ralph: "Now they will face the Milwaukee Bucks. Those Bucks will get what is coming to them."

Ed: "Yes, a loss."

(They both laugh.)

Ralph: "Remember that bet I made with Joe Fenstablau? There he is on the subway." (yells): "HEY JOE!"

(Joe sees Ralph.)

Joe: "Well Ralph, I see that the Nets advanced. Looks like I owe you some money...unless you want to increase the bet."

Ralph: "Well, I don't know."

Ed: "Oh come on Ralph. You know you want to do it."

Ralph (sarcastically): "Okay. I bet $200 that the Nets will beat the Bucks and you have to give me $100."

Ed: "It's a bet."

Ralph (yells): "NORTON!"

Joe: "Okay. This my stop see ya."

(Joe leaves.)

Ralph (pointing to the door): "You know what this means don't you Norton? You know what this means."

Ed: "Yes."

(Ed leaves.)

(Jackie walks on stage. Crowd cheers.)

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

(Crowd cheers.)
