"See, we've got a gofer around here and, uh..." "We've had frogs, chickens and now a gopher?" "Yeah, that's an old theatrical term." "A gofer is somebody you have around to go for coffee." "Isn't that interesting?" "No." "You see, this gofer of ours has found a song he wants you to do on the show." "Kermit, I thought you were more professional than that."

"It's a rather interesting song." "It's got a nice little melody." "[Humming]" " You really hated it, huh?" " Well, uh... yeah." " It can sound different." " It can?" "Yeah, let me show you."

"[Hiccuping]" "Here's the next patient, Dr. Bob." "It's a dog!" "I hope he doesn't have fleas." " Why not?" " I hate to start from scratch." "What kind of dog is he, Dr. Bob?" " Ask him what time it is." " Why?" "He might be a watch dog." "Of course, he could be a guard dog." "You know, I know a woman who was once attacked by her own guard dog." " Doberman pinscher?" " No, Doberman bit her!" "Where did you find him?" "At the lost and hound department." " I wish he was a dachsund." " Why?" "I'd like to get a long little doggy." "[Howling]" "[Announcer] And so once again, Dr. Bob has taken the bulldog by the horns." "Tune in next week when you'll hear Nurse Piggy say..." "Dr. Bob, I think the patient is running a fever."

"That light on the console." "Oh, that light." "That means we've been invaded by alien beings." "[Both] Oh." "[All] What?" "Yes, even now hideous creatures of some sort are roaming the ship!" "Oh, help!" "Do something, Miss Piggy!" "If they're like snakes I'll scream!" "You're the captain, fatso!" "According to the sensors, there are two creatures." "Two?" "Two snakes?" "I'll just die!" "Will you please?" "Yes, here's the read-out." "One is very frightened and has feathers." "The other speaks some sort of strange Scandinavian tongue." "[All screaming]" "[Dr. Strangepork] Aliens!" "Alien beings in the control room!" "Alien beings in the control room!" "Help!" "Oh, they're hideous creatures loose in the control room!" "[Clucking fades]" "Well, they're gone."

"[Shouting in mock Swedish]" "[Loud clucking]" "Kermit." "About this Elton John." "Yeah?" "I have seen some pretty weird guests on this show, but this Elton John borders on the revolutionary." "Well, Sam, Elton John is a very important musician." "Then why does he dress like a stolen car?" "Sam, musicians have always been fancy dressers." "Mozart wasn't." "Mozart wore high heels and wigs and silk stockings." "Hold your little green tongue!" "It's true, Sam." "If Mozart wore high heels, wigs and stockings, I'll eat my hat." "And give Elton John a big introduction?" "That, too." "Look at this great picture of Mozart Elton John gave me!" "Love those high heels and silk stockings." "What?" "Sam, you know you'd look great in a powdered wig." "Good grief!" "I've been hornswaggled." "OK guys, come on in!" "[Talking and commotion]" "Do I have to do this?" "Yes, you do, Sam." "A bet is a bet." "All right." "Um, let's see." "I am proud to introduce one of the great names in popular music." "One of my all time favorites," "Elton John." "And?" "All right." "All right!" "There's a wonderful lady that I have always wanted to work and sing with." "So will you please give a great reception to the fantastic Miss Piggy!" "Oh, thank you!" "Kissy, kissy!" "Kisses to you all!" "Oh, Elton, have you been waiting long, poopsie?" " It seems like an eternity." " Of course it does." " Ready!" " Um-hmm!" "[# Don't Go Breaking My Heart:" "Elton John]" "Eat your heart out, Kiki!" "[Cheering]" "Hey, we look like members of the rock age." "No, we look more like members of the Stone Age." "Well, that's about all the time we have." "Boy, are we gonna have some wardrobe bill." "But we're gonna save on the light bill." "That's true." "Once again, let's bring out our special guest star and the man who caused all this, Mr. Elton John!" "Boy, Elton, you look weird!" "Well, you guys are all dressed like stolen cars." "Hey, we'll see you next time on The Muppet Show!" "Well, what did you think?" "[Shouting in mock Swedish]" "I hate running gags."
