Mayor's Campaign and Dining Experience Discussed
Leslie
Mr. Mayor! Mr. Mayor, over here! Mr. Mayor! Do you think your recent triple heart bypass affect your campaign strategy?

Ernie
I think so! I think you may be buff! Je suisse enchante pour votre beaute. You know what I mean?
The Mayor's Wife
Oh, Monsieur Ernie...
[chuckles]
Ernie
Excusez-moi. Au revoir, les enfants! The air's not so thin at the top. Just like the old man to die before I hit it big. Remember, everyone. Attention to detail is vital! Presentation is everything. No, no, no, no, no! These I must deliver myself. Duck a I'Orange avec du quack sauce... And for ze Mayor, la specialite de la maison, Lobster Loaf a la Ernest ou la bibliotheque. Bon Appetit.
[enters the kitchen to cook the lobster loaf and sighs; A cockroach in Ernie's father's box of cigars opens the lid, and scurries toward the food; stops the waiter; puts a fire on Duck a l'orange, brings all of the food and places on the table]
Mayor McKrinkle
Oh.
[exhales]

Leslie
Chef Ernie. How does it feel to be serving the mayor on the eve of his campaign reelection?

EW! Look! A cockroach!
[notices the cockroach's body; picks the cockroach's body up with a fork and sees his head missing]
Betty
That's only half a cockroach.
Becky
Daddy, you ate the head!
The Mayor's Wife
Honey, are you OK? Not again!
[clutches the mayor's shoulder; the mayor immediately spits his food and spews the cockroach's head out onto the table and chokes from his vomit as the cockroach's head crawls. Becky and Betty grab knives, and start trying to stab the cockroach's head, which crawls away to avoid getting killed. The mayor holds himself, coughs while clutching his chest in agony until he falls off, then collapses to the floor, screaming, much to his wife's shock, causing her to scream too when the news reporters crowd around him, due to this causing him to have a heart attack from the shock and fall over unconscious when he swallows the cockroach and passes out]
Reporters
Was this an accident or did you murder him...?
[Ernie just stands there, looking quite aghast by this, as the news reporters now crowd around him, demanding to know if he intended to murder the mayor or if it was an accident]
Paramedic
Clear!
Betty
That's it.
Becky
I can do that better!
