A Honeymooners New Years Eve:

[Frank Gannucci]

A Honeymooners New Years Eve:

(The Kramdens and Norton’s are in Miami for the New Year. They are in the Wyndham Hotel.)

Ralph: “For the last time Alice, even though the Norton’s are in the same room as us, I’m the King of this hotel room.”

Alice: “Yeah whatever Ralph. What time are you and Ed going to come down to Miami to watch the ball drop?”

Ralph: “When we feel like it. Good thing that the Raccoons appointed me the chairman of this New Years Convention.”

Alice: “I just hope that you all don’t make a fool of yourselves.”

Ralph: “We never do. If I did, I will admit it. I’m a big fan.”

(Alice looks at Ralph.)

Ralph (yells): “DON’T YOU DARE SAY IT!”

Alice: “I’m going downstairs to meet with Trixie.”

(She does.)

(Later on, Ed is with Ralph.)

Ed: “Ralph, we should be leaving here at 11:50p. Just like we planned. It’s now 11:50p. I will take a look outside.”

(They do. They see a packed street.)

Ralph (yells): “NORTON, YOU IDIOT. THANKS TO YOUR PLAN WE ARE GONNA BE LATE.”

Ed: “We both thought of it.”

Ralph (yells): “YOU SHOULD HAVE TALKED ME OUT OF IT. I’M THE THINKER HERE.”

Ed: “We will go the rest of the way by sewer to the Raccoon stand. I got a map of the Miami sewer system and the Miami Beach sewer system. The greatest sewer system in the world.”

(Crowd claps.)

Ralph: “Norton, you are an idiot. But, I guess we have no choice.”

(They do. Meanwhile the girls and the Head Raccoon are at the Raccoon stand.)

Trixie: “Where’s Ralph & Ed? They should be here. It’s the final countdown soon.”

Alice: “I dunno.”

Everyone (yells): “10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…”

(To be continued.)
