After hearing Louie tell a fantastical story to his friends on the playground, Miss Kinney the drama teacher managed to talk him into auditioning for her version of Sleeping Beauty. Deciding, "eh, whatever," Louie attends the prince auditions. At the end, there were only 4 finalists: both Melvins, Glen Glenn, and Louie. Pick your poison. So she chose the best of worst and so Louie is now the prince. I bet you can guess who's going to play the princess. It's Jeannie, of course. This is probably why Glen Glenn wanted to play the prince, so he would have a chance to kiss her. Anyway, when Louie tells Ora the news, she's so thrilled she calls Andy at work, but the noise of the tractor factory totally makes him misinterpret the news. Then he complains to his co-workers, Earl and Gus, that the problem with the plant is management, and he boasts he could do his boss's job better... something we pretty much all feel. But suppose your boss asks you to put your money where your mouth is? That's what happened the following day, as Mr. Applegate called Andy into his office and told him he'll be in charge of the plant while Applegate takes a vacation to Hawaii. At first, Andy is thrilled to be in his boss's chair, but by the end of the day, he's exhausted and doesn't mince words telling his family when he gets home. Still, he (begrudgingly) helps Louie rehearse for the play. However, deciding he needed to brush up on his kissing, Louie decided to practice on the TV (during a romantic late night movie), his teddy bear, and even spy on his sister Laura and her date. As expected, Andy caught them, teaching Louie another important lesson in romantic moments: timing. So, Louie pressed on, really having his work cut out for him. Not to mention, Glen Glenn was appointed his understudy, and he's determined to put the smooch on Jeannie, so he keeps picking on Louie. Geez, Louie, just punch him already, or if he wants to kiss something, tell him to bend over and kiss your... er, sorry, got carried away. Where was I? Oh, he wimps out when it's time to practice kissing Jeannie. Man, I wish this kid had a backbone. Probably traded it for a dozen donuts.
After yet another failed rehearsal, Jeannie starts to blame herself for Louie's lack of desire to kiss her. In fact, butterball wants to outright quit the play. Oh, that's nice, you gonna let your enemy have your girlfriend? Anderson, you're killin' me. Fortunately, Jeannie managed to set him straight, so he'll stay. For her. I dunno, while I really dislike that Glenn kid, at least he seems to WANT to be in the play. Anyway, what happened next was fate playing a very cruel joke, as when Louie got a nutty bar from the school vending machine, he broke a tooth and had to be numbed with novocaine, so how he's a drooling, babbling mess. The dentist said the effects would wear off in a few hours, but probably not in time for the play. Speaking of which, do you think Andy the Boss will make it? Luckily, old man Applegate returns from the islands and Andy happily leaves the rest of the mountain of paperwork on his desk for him. Well, on to the theater. Unfortunately, he forgot to use the restroom, so by the time he gets to his seat, Andy's back teeth are floating like pickup trucks in a tsunami. Miss Kinney's production of Sleeping Beauty opened with Melvin as the witch, poisoning an apple that will make Sleeping Beauty sleep forever... er, poison apples are from Snow White. Sleeping Beauty was cursed to prick her finger on a spinning wheel. Miss Kinney has her fairy tales mixed up. So, after Jeannie eats the apple and falls asleep, Prince Louie rides atop his noble steed and babbles about seeing his duty clear to try and awaken the fair maiden. All the while poor Andy is crossing his legs and holding the floodgates closed as hard as he can. Man, I know what that feels like, and it's torture. When you REALLY have to pee, but you have to hold it in. Back on stage, Louie's incoherency makes Miss Kinney call in the understudy: Glen Glenn. This forces them to cut the intermission short, so poor Andy will have to hop around on one foot a little longer. The waterfall on stage didn't help him either. Fortunately, Louie's voice returned to normal just in time for his big scene. Without hesitation, Louie took hold of Jeannie and kissed her smack dab on the lips. Hooray, way to go, Lou! Jeannie even returned the favor at curtain time. Anderson's a player. So, at long last, Andy could go to the latrine... but there's a line. This is torture, alright. But, sooner or later, he got to drain the ol' lizard. It was truly a happy ending for all.
Ah, Louie's first kiss. Well, technically, he kissed Kelly Bassett in Lake Winnibigoshish, Jeannie kissed him on the cheek in A Fish Called Pepper, though this is the very first time the two of them touched lips. I think most of us can relate to Louie in getting stage fright, both in doing a play and kissing a girl we like. We can probably also relate to Andy, thinking we can do our bosses' jobs better than they can, only to realize it's much harder than it looks. First and only appearance of Andy's boss, Mr. Applegate, played by Ed Asner. As stated above, Miss Kinney did get her fairy tales mixed up, because a poison apple is what put Snow White to sleep. I guess they could've done a play on Snow White, but they didn't have characters to play the dwarfs. So in closing, I recommend The Kiss is the Thing. It's very touching, heartwarming, and extremely effective in making you recall times when you've had to use the bathroom, but something always stopped you.
