"Yes, and, Kermie, I am going to stay here with you." "You really..." "Oh, that's very nice of you, Miss Piggy." "Kermie, my loyalty is here..." "with my frog." " You really mean it?" " Mmm-hmm." "Pigs in Space on next." "You have to cancel it." " I remain with my sweetheart, Kermie." " Oh, gee, Miss Piggy." "OK, we'll just get someone to take your place." " Take my place?" "!" " If you wanna stay here with him." "Well..." "Bye." "That's showbiz, pal. [laughs]" "[Man] And now, Pigs in Space!"

" One, two, three, four..." " No, no, you twit!" "Don't you understand?" "That is the chopped-liver monster from the galaxy Zabor." "It's hideous." "Hideous?" "For 1.69 a pound, you want beautiful?" "[Man] Tune in, again, next time for another digestive episode of Pigs in Space!" "Pigs may have taken over, but there's one thing they haven't changed." " What's that?" " It's still not funny." "[Gonzo digging]" " How's Gonzo doing?" " Pretty good, I guess." " I can't even see him anymore." " [Keys jangling]" " Hey, Kermit, we're free!" " Really?" "What happened?" "Someone next door was holding a hog-calling contest, so they all heard it and ran off." "What a plot twist!" "How amazing!" "How unbelievable!" "How convenient." "I'll get on stage." "You tell Gonzo." "Yes, sir." "[Echoing] Hey, Gonzo!" "He's made a lot of progress with that teaspoon." "I'm coming!" "Well, things have been a little bit strange here tonight, but someone we can always depend on is the wonderful Miss Cloris Leachman."

"Ah-ha!" "Pretty blonde lady!" " [Chuckles]" " Hello." "Pretty blonde lady make good fondue?" "That depends." "Are you thinking of me as the cook or the dish?" " Well, you're quite a dish." " That does it." "I'm leaving." "Where nice lady come from?" "Didn't you see that shipwreck out there?" "I caused that shipwreck out there." " [Chuckling]" " I believe it." "With breath like that, you could sink an armada." "Oh, look." "Water." "Oh, good." "Sweetums thirsty." " Oh, I'm so thirsty." " Tough luck, kid." "Look, up there!" "Quick!" "Sweetums not fall for that old gag." "Oh!" "Oh!" "That does it!" "Sweetums and nice lady not be friends after all!" " Now, now, hold on." "Wait a minute." " [Growls]" "Hold on." "Hold on!" "Hold on." "Just a moment." "[Screams]" "Hey, someone call for help?" "Oh, thank heavens." "Oh, your timing is perfect." "[# Just in time]" "No." "[Applause]" " That's lovely." "Only got one question." " What's that?" "Sweetums, is this the cook or the dish?" "Dish!" "What?" "Oh!" "Help!" "[Applause]" "That's about all the time we have, but before we go, let us have a warm thank you for our very special guest star, ladies and gentlemen, Miss Cloris Leachman!" "[Applause]" "Thank you." "Oh, Kermit, I've had a wonderful time." " Oh, good." " Thank you so..." "Freedom is mine!" " What are you doing here, Kermit?" " Never mind." "I'll tell you later." "Oh, boy, Kermit." "It certainly has been different around here tonight." "I don't know how to explain to you about those pigs." " Where did those pigs come from?" " And where did they go?" "Who would organize a hog-calling contest?" "It was amazing." "It was bizarre." "It was easy." "Cloris, you did that for us?" "Well, I'm from Iowa." "You must be a great hog-caller." "Soo-eee!" "Piggy, piggy, piggy!" "We'll see you next time on The Muppet Show!" " That was weird." " I'll tell the world." " Go ahead." " That was weird." " Weird!" "Weird!" " Weird!" "Weird!"
