"I'm so sorry if I kept you waiting." "It was won'th it." "How charming of vous." "I took the liberty of ordering us some wine." "Oh, waiter." "Yes?" "May I help you?" "The wine, please." "You mad, impetuous fink." "It's champagne." "Not exactly." "Sparkling muscatel." "One of the finest wines of Idaho." " You may serve us now, please." " May I?" " Look how he does that." " Yeah." "Pretty suave." "Don't you want to smell the bottle cap?" " Smells good." " Yeah." "Would you like to taste it first?" "Well..." " I think he's supposed to." " Would you taste it for us, please?" "Excellent choice." "Should be for 95 cents." " And may we have straws, please?" " Yes." "I expected that." "Thank you." "That'll be all for now." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "Thank you!" "Here's to you, Miss Piggy." "Drink up." "Makes me giggly." "The wine?" "Everything." "It's a beautiful evening, isn't it?" "Uh-huh." "And the moon is just lovely." "But you know, Miss Piggy... the moon doesn't look like you." "Miss Piggy!" "Miss Piggy!" " Are you Miss Piggy?" " Yes?" "Telephone." "I did place one phone call to my agent." "It'll only be an eensy-teensy moment." "What the hey." "Evenin'." "Rowlf." "Rowlf the Dog." "Sit yourself down." " Kermit." "Kermit the Frog." " Pleased to meet ya." "I'm no Heifetz, but I get by." "That was..." "That was very nice." "Whoa, hey, broken heart, right?" "Does it show?" "Listen, when you've been ticklin' the ivories as long as I have... you've seen a broken heart for every drop of rain." "A shattered dream for every fallen star." "Exactly." "She just walked out on me." " Typical." "That's why I live alone." " You do, huh?" "You bet." "I finish work, I go home, read a book... have a couple of beers, take myself for a walk and go to bed." "Nice and simple." " Stay away from women." "That's my motto." " But I can't." "Neither can I. That's my trouble." "You can't live with 'em" "You can't live without 'em" "There's something irresistible-ish about 'em" "We grin and bear it 'cause the nights are long" "I hope that somethin'better comes along" "I see what you mean." "It's no good complainin' and pointless to holler" "If she's a beauty she'll get under your collar" "She made a monkey out of old King Kong" "I hope that somethin'better comes along" "Still, it's fun when you're fetchin'" "And agree to see an etching" "That you keep at your lily pad" "There is no solution It's part of evolution" "The pitter patter of soles" "The little feet of tadpoles" "Rowlf, tadpoles don't have feet."

" You Kermit the Frog?" " Yeah." "Phone." "It's not that often you see a guy that green have the blues that bad." "Kermie, please!" " Piggy, is that you?" " Yes, that's her." "And this is Doc Hopper." "Now you listen, frog, and listen good." "Step outside the motel right now." "My guys'll meet you there." "Well, what if I don't?" "Then your girlfriend will be ham hocks by breakfast." "Kermie, don't, don't!" "Are you the guys I'm supposed to meet?" "Good, Glen." "That's good." "Nice and tight." " The professor's here, Doc." " Show him in." "Show him in." "Kermie, I'm not a bit worried." "I know you're planning something bold and clever." "Well, I got us this far, didn't I?" " How are you?" " Professor Krassman." "It's good to see you, Doc, you little rustic devil, you." "Where's my victim?" "I mean, patient." " Step this way, Professor." " Of course." "Let me introduce you to your patient." "Prof. Krassman is the world's leading authority... on mind control in frogs." "It's a very rapidly growing field." "You like garlic, don't you?" "Tell us what you're gonna do to our little Kermit." "Well, we're going to perform an electronic "cerebrectomy."" " A what?" " An electronic cerebrectomy!" "What's that?" "It's something so sensational that you'll have to hold on to your hat." " Yes?" " When a German scientist says..." ""Hold on to your hat," it's not casual conversation." "Hold on to your hat!" "Hat, hold!" "Good!" "Now, what we're going to do is bring out a machine that's going to wow you." "Bertram, Bertram, bring out the machine!" "Wait till you see this." "You think we're sleeping in Dusseldorf?" "You think we're taking a nap in Cologne?" "No, we're working at night." "Each night, a new dial, a new knob, a diode." " Electronic ce..." " Cerebrectomy." " Electronic cerebrectomy." " What does it do?" "What does it do?" "It turns the brains into guacamole." "First of all, I'll pull out of this, okay?" "Wonderful." "Second?" "Halt!" "I detest the surfeit of provincial laughter." "Now, we take your friend, the little "F-O-R-G"... put him in the chair, clamp on the terminals... drop the electronic yarmulke... and throw, what we call in German, the switch." "Yes, you little green devil... soon it'll be a hot time at the old skull tonight." "Thank you, Herr Machine." "Now, the frog will do your bidding." "He will do your every whim, He will do your television commercial, yes." "He will sell your frogs' legs." " Zaparooni." " Head full of jelly." " A noggin full of library paste!" " Let's fry them brains!" " You've got a fun job." " I love it, I love it." "If I could inflict a little pain during the afternoon, I sleep good at night." " We'll let you get on with it, then." " My pleasure." "Max." "I'll be back later to pick up what's left of the frog." ""What's left of the frog." You can have everything, excuse the brain." "All right." "Bring over the frog." "Kermie, whatever happens next..." "I wouldn't give up this evening together for anything." " Would you?" " Make me an offer." "Okay, I got him." "I got him." "Good, good." "And why don't we take a little seat, Kermit?" "Hold his hands down." "Get your feeties in place." "Will you stop whimpering?" "Go out like a frog, not a little toad." "Okay, Herr Machine, this is big time here." "Ready to go to work?" "Hand clamps!" "Foot clamps!" "You can struggle all you want now, frog." "It'll do you very little good." "All right." "And now it's time to drop... the electronic beanie." "Soon there'll be enough voltage coursing through your little frog brain... to light up Cincinnati." " Here we go." " Oh, please!" "Not my frog, please!" " Say good-bye to the frog, pig." " Why should I?" "Because in ten seconds, he won't know you from kosher bacon." "That does it!" "What the heck's goin' on here?" "A pig that goes bananas?" "What is this, a luau?" "Where'd she go?" "Oh, boys." "There she is!" "Get her!" "I must reach the switch." "I must!" " Switch..." "I must reach..." " Oh, no." " Now, Kermie." " Thank you." "Well... shall we go now, Kermie?" "Well..." "Just a second." "What?" "Piggy, it's your agent." "Thank you." "Yeah, Morty." "What have you got?" "Commercial?" "How much?" "When?" "Take it." "Good-bye!" "What happened?" "Flip, flip, flip, flip." "Don't worry, Animal." "Your big scene is coming up." "Yeah, yeah." "Just be cool and eat another seat cushion." "Seat cushion!" "Well, how do you like the film?" "I've seen detergents that leave a better film than this." "I don't care what anybody else says." "I'm having a great time." "Oh, good." " The "flim" is okey-dokey." " Good." "Roll film." ""Flim" is "rooling."" "Quiet, quiet." "This is the patriotic part." " Should we stand up?" " No." "Oh, beautiful for spacious skies" "For amber waves of grain" "For purple mountains'majesties" "Above the fruited plain" "America, America" "God shed His grace on thee" "And crown thy good with brotherhood" "From sea to" "Shining sea" "Patriotism swells in the heart of the American bear." "Hold it, boys." "Hold it!" "Hold your fire!" "Now, boys, no reflection on the job you been doin'... but I decided to bring in a specialist." "Now, boys, this is Snake Walker." "Tell 'em what you do, Snake." "Kill frogs." " How long is it to Hollywood?" " We gotta be there by tomorrow." "Hey, Kermit!" "Are you going to get an agent like that pig had?" "Gonzo, you know he's touchy about that." " Hey, who's that?" "I don't believe that." " Oh, no." " That's Piggy." " Yeah, I know." "Do you think we should help her with her bag?" "Oh, Kermie!" "What an unbelievable coincidence!" "Hello again." "It's me!" "Would you hold my laundry case?" " Well." " Well what?" "So much has happened to me since I saw you last." "Frankly, Miss Piggy, I don't give a hoot." "My name is Rowlf the Dog, and I was playin' the piano in a..." "Oh, never mind." "I missed you." "Don't I get one kissy-kissy?" "I don't think so, Miss Piggy." "Just one little hug?" "You've been listening to music to hug frogs by... and this is Doc Hopper sayin' that if Kermit the Frog... don't stop right now and call me... and agree to be my national spokesman, he will soon be a frogburger." " We'll be okay." " Oh, mon capitaine." "Oh, boy." "Yeah." "What?" "No problem!" "It's okay, it's okay." "No problem." "Hey, all right!" "We're in trouble." "I wish I still had my Studebaker." "There's probably somethin' broken about the engine." "Hey, don't worry." "Someone's bound to come along." "Yeah?" "Well, I guess we blew it, huh, Gonzo?" "Yeah." "But the sky sure is beautiful out here." "Look at that." "We're gonna miss the auditions tomorrow, right?" "Boy, you could get lost in a sky like that." "I wish I had those balloons again." "So much for Hollywood." "Listen, gang." "I never promised we'd make it." "I never promised anything." "This looks familiar" "Vaguely familiar" "Almost unreal, yet" "It's too soon to feel yet" "Close to my soul" "And yet so far away" "I'm going to go back there someday" "Sun rises, night falls" "Sometimes the sky calls" "Is that a song there" "And do I belong there" "I've never been there" "But I know the way" "I'm going to go back there" "Someday" "Come and go with me" "It's more fun to share" "We'll both be completely" "At home in midair" "We're flyin', not walking" "On featherless wings" "We can hold on to young" "Like invisible string" "There's not a word yet" "For old friends who've just met" "Part heaven, part space" "Or have I found my place" "You can just visit" "But I plan to stay" "I'm going to go back there" "Someday" "I'm going to go back there" "Someday" "I didn't promise anybody anything." "What do I know about Hollywood anyway?" "Just the dreams I got from sitting through too many double features." "So why did you leave the swamp in the first place?" "'Cause some agent fella said I had talent." "He probably says that to everybody." "On the other hand, if you hadn't left the swamp... you'd be feeling pretty miserable anyhow." "Yeah, but then it would just be me feelin' miserable." "Now I got a lady pig and a bear and a chicken... a dog, a thing..." "whatever Gonzo is." " He's a little like a turkey." " Yeah, A little like a turkey." " But not much." " No, I guess not." "Anyhow, I brought 'em all out here into the middle of nowhere." "It's all my fault." "Still... whether you promised them something or not... you gotta remember they wanted to come." "But that's because they believed in me." "No, they believed in the dream." " Well, so do I, but..." " You do?" " Yeah." "Of course I do." " Well, then?" "Well, then..." "I guess I was wrong when I said I never promised anyone." "I promised me." "Hey, now, wait a minute." "Hey, what's happening?" "At the moment, we're what's happening." "Oh, great!" "Wonderful!" "Yeah!" "Zoot!" "Hey, Zoot!" "Hold it, hold it." "Animal, cool it back there." "Yeah." "All right, yeah." "Hey, it's wonderful to see you, but how did you ever find us?" "Oh, easy." "We just read the screenplay you left us." ""Exterior desert, night." We knew right where you were." "Like, can you get behind it?" "Hey, when you dudes have to be at that audition?" " 2:00 tomorrow afternoon." " Well, climb aboard the bus." "We'll have breakfast at Hollywood and Vine." "Movin'right along" "Oh, yeah" "Here we go." "Movin'right along" "Kermie, whisper sweet nothings into my ear." "Motorcycle cop." ""Motorcycle cop" is a sweet nothing?" "A motorcycle cop is chasing us." "Hey, Dr. Teeth, you better pull over." "Hey, easier done than said." " Drag city." " What do we do now?" "Oh, dear." "Hey, hey." "The man with the badge." "The police." "The cops, the fuzz, the P-l..." " Don't you dare." " I wouldn't think of it." "Did we do something wrong, Officer?" " Kermie, it's him!" " Okay, gang." "Let him explain." "This whole disguise is only so I could warn you." "Yeah." "Sure, sure." "I never thought Doc would hurt Kermit." "I thought he was gonna lean on him." "But now he's got this frog killer in from the coast... and the man is deadly!" "Oh, no." "Kermit, what are we gonna do?" "It's time to beat feet, green stuff." "I love it." "Chase music is one of our best riffs." "Hold it, Dr. Teeth." "What's up ahead?" " Only an old ghost town." " Fine." "Listen, you go tell Doc Hopper I'll be waiting for him there." " What?" " Kermit, you'll get killed!" "Listen, guys." "Listen." "I can't spend my whole life running away from a bully." "It's time for a showdown." "Chugga, chugga." "Hey, listen." "I'm gonna check things out." "Everybody stay on the bus, okay?" " Hey, Kermit?" " Yeah?" "Can I take Animal for a walk?" "He needs some exercise." "Yeah, sure." "What is that?" "That's one of my latest inventions..." "a musical rotating rain barrel." " Oh, yeah." " You see..." "I'm Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, and this is my assistant, Beaker." "We live here, perfecting useful inventions." "Come in, come in." "Welcome to our laboratory." "Please don't touch anything." "Is this the only street into town?" "Yes, yes." "Hey, what are you dudes doin' in here?" "I'm so glad you asked!" "We're perfecting our latest invention... insta-grow pills." "Well, what in the name of Fats Waller is that?" "A four-foot prune!" "A four-foot prune." "Yeah, man." "Well, what else do these pills make big?" "They work on anything." "But the effect is, sadly, temporary." "Sadly temporary." "Hey, Kermit!" "Here comes Doc Hopper!" "I know." "I'll be ready for him." "Okay, frog." "Where are ya?" "I'm here." "I'll meet you in the middle of the street." " Oh, yeah?" " Man to frog." " All right, Hopper." " All right, frog." "One last chance." "You can do my TV commercials live or stuffed." "What's the matter with you?" "You gotta be crazy chasing' me halfway across the country." "Why are you doin' this to me?" "'Cause all my life I wanted to own a thousand frog-leg restaurants... and you're the key, greenie." "Yeah, well, I've got a dream too." "But it's about singing and dancing and making people happy." "The kind of dream that gets better the more people you share it with." "And, well, I've found a whole bunch of friends who have the same dream." "And it kind of makes us like a family." "You have anybody like that, Hopper?" "Once you get all those restaurants, who're you gonna share it with?" "Who are your friends, Doc?" "Those guys?" "I got lots of friends." "Max, for instance." " Max." " I don't think you're a bad man, Doc." "I think if you look in your heart... you'll find you really want to let me and my friends go... to follow our dream." "But if that's not the kind of man you are... and if what I'm saying doesn't make any sense to you... well, then, go ahead and kill me." "All right, boys." "Kill him." "No, wait, please!" " Everybody goin' to Hollywood?" " Yeah!" "Next stop is Hollywood and Vine." "Look at the ocean!" "The ocean!" "Yes, Mr. Lord." "I'll have those deal memos for you in a jiffy." "I'm sorry." "Mr. Lord can't be disturbed by anyone." "He's packaging a blockbuster." "Look!" "It's wonderful!" "Like a dream come true." "Don't count your tadpoles until they're hatched." "I still have to audition." "Hey, ain't nothin' to it but to do it." "And where do you think you're going?" "Hi, there!" "I'm going to audition for Lew Lord." "You can't just walk in here off the street, you know." "Especially not with all these animals." "Animals?" "What's wrong with animals?" "This is a movie studio, not a zoo!" "Besides..." "I'm allergic to animal hair." "Now, get along, all of you." "Now, wait a second." "See here, miss." "I may not be one of your fancy Hollywood frogs, but I deserve a chance." "We're going to stay here until you let us in to see Lew Lord, aren't we, gang?" "Yes!" "Yes!" " Yeah, come on!" " We're gonna sit right down and wait." "Yes, Security?" "Miss Tracy."
