Spanky's mother:
[ Standing on the stage wings watching the gang assail her son with peashooters and the rising laughter of the audience she very nervously turns to the MC and taps him on the shoulder and says ] They're laughing at him !

Master of Ceremonies:
[Knowing the state she is in he tries to really get her goat ] Laughing at him why they're howling at him !

Spanky's mother:
[the Mother is a wreck ] Well I won't have my son laughed at . Take him off !

Master of Ceremonies:
[ the MC knows the audience loves this kid's act and it great for business there is no way he wants this act to end. He growls at the mother ] TAKE HIM OFF NOTHING HE'S THE HIT OF THE SHOW !

Spanky's mother:
[Now the mother is very angry, she spins around and yells at the MC ] WELL IF YOU WON'T TAKE HIM OFF I WILL! [ the mother starts to run out on the stage but is grabbed by the MC and pulled back ]

Master of Ceremonies:
Now you stay right there till the act is over !

Spanky's mother:
[the mother pleads with the mc for her son to be taken off the stage] I won't stand here as my son is made a laughing stock of ! [She realizes all the pleading won't do any good the MC going to let Spanky out there as the audience is laughing at him so hard]

Master of Ceremonies:
[the MC looks over at the mother ] You can't break up that act lady !

Spanky's mother:
[the mother is furious and yells at the MC ] OH NO ! [ the mother turns and rushes to the back of the stage and grabs a stage pole and she walks behind the stage curtain and takes off her overcoat and violently throws is aside and she gets down on her knees and moves the pole under the curtain to hook her son and pull him off]

Master of Ceremonies:
[ The MC is enjoying to show and laughing with the other mothers and Spanky's grandma.He turns to the other mothers and asks ] Where did Mommy go ? [They inforn him she took the pole and will try to yank Spanky off the stage!] [the mother accidently sticks the pole into an electrical outlet and is given quite a shock whichknocks her back so she is sitting on her heels. The MC lets out a big belly laugh knowing what she did] HA HA HA

Daisy Dimple:
[Daisey is standing watching Spanky's act and turns to the MC and asks] Say Mister do you think he has a chance? [ The MC informs her that Spanky won the prize five minutes ago. Delighted she turns and hugs her mother saying] The dress is in the bag !

Spanky's grandmother:
[Spanky's mother quickly composes herself and hooks Spanky and starts to pull him in as he falls on the stage. The Grandmother is watching and sees here oppourtunity to get even with Spanky's mother for putting Spanky on the stage. She taps the MC on the shoulder and pointing to the curtain ropes says to the MC ] Here's where we stop the show!

Master of Ceremonies:
[Knowing that having the curtain raise and revealing the mother trying to pull her kid off is going to be great the audience will love this and that mother really deserves it to. He turns to the Grandmother and says ] That's great go right ahead!

Spanky's mother:
[the grandma pulls down on the ropes and the backstage curtain begins to rise. We see a curtain hook dangling off the curtain bottom and it is moving up moving up Spanky's mother's legs heading towards her dress hem. The hook gets up under her dress hem and starts to hike up her dress.She is so into her mission that she doesn't even know what is happening.At the point where the curtain is about 1 1/2 foot off the stage she realizes what's happening and rushes her arms back to the back of her dress she lets out a SCHREECH ! The grandmother looks on and can't believe her luck and tries to pull down harder on the ropes to get that dress off her Daughter. The MC can't believe his eyes he must be saying to himself That dumb b*tch mother was right she wanted to stop the crown from laughing at her son and now she is made the laughing stop off.The mother grabs the curtain in an attempt to halt it's rize and looks over to see who's pullimg up that curtain. She must have thought is was the MC .She stands to get a better hold and tries to unhook her dress hem.She begins to wimper ] No please No NO please.

[ The Grandma gets a good hold of the ropes and looks out on stage looking at the dress up to her daughter's waist and gives the ropes a mighty tug which results with a very loud ripping sound as the dress is ripped off Spanky's mother and it's tattered remains heads up to the ceiling.The MC is waching thinking Man this is going to be great for business that is if we aren't raided. Spanky looks on as the dress is hauled upward and looks over at his mom whose kneeling on stage looking up at the remains of her dress. He quickly decides to haul a stage prop over in front of her to protect his mother from the prying eyes of the hysterical audience. He pulls the prop in front of her thinking the audience won't see her in her underwear but the prop is a cartoon caricature of a squatting lion with is mother's head perched on top ]

    would have the curtain come back down snagging her slip. Granny sees a chance for some real comeuppance and yanks it back up ripping off her slip leaving her in a bra and girdle and big ass screaming: " Eeeekkkk!!! My clothes!!"
