KermitThey don't call me the fastest gum in the west for nothing, ya know.
[After the chase of the slime monster]
Kermit[sighs, opens the fence board to check] I think we lost it. [closes it, sees someone in a ghost costume which makes 11 of the kids] Hey, wait a minute. 1, 2, 3...that's funny. How many of us were there when we started the story?
10. Why?
Kermit10? Why, uh, [points at someone in a ghost costume] I think we picked up a stray.
[Gonzo removes the sheet and it turns out to be the slime monster, who growls]
Slime monster!
Let's get outta here! Help!
[about Robin] He's adorable, just like his Uncle Kermie.
KermitUncle Kermie? I never asked to be an uncle.
Kermit! Nobody asks to be an uncle. Your big sister had babies, that makes you an uncle, and the babies are your nieces and nephews.
KermitOh, that's different.
[The Muppets are making a movie; Gonzo is directing]
And I'm going to be the producer.
KermitGee, what do producers do, Piggy?
THEY FIRE DIRECTORS! [lunges at Gonzo]
[After the Muppets decide to make a Star Wars movie]
Oh, I know who I can play! [grabs two belts] I could play Whewbacca the Cookie!
KermitUm, that's Chewbacca the Wookie, Fozzie.
That's what I said, Cuchacca the Bookie.
KermitOh Gee.
I know what Kermit's wish is. It's that we get married.
KermitI don't wanna waste a wish.
WHAT?!
KermitUh, on something that's gonna happen anyway.
Abraham Lincoln was president during the Civil War. He helped free the slaves and wrote the Gettysburg address.
KermitUm, what is the Gettysburg address?
[comes to life] Why, 227 Gettysburg Road of course.
[The kids scream in terror and run]
[Kermit is dreaming he is resting on a lily pad in a pond. Suddenly he is abducted by a submarine full of frogs like him wearing his sailor outfit]
Enemy sighted, Captain!
You are just what we need for our submarine!
Kermit[salutes] I will do my best, Captain.
Oh, we do not need another sailor. We need a torpedo!
[Two frog sailors load Kermit into the torpedo tube, which then jars him awake from his nightmare]
Whatcha lookin' for, Kermit?
KermitThis, we can use it like a road map.
Yeah, but how will we get around once we're inside Scooter’s body?
Me know, me know, wawawawawawa.
KermitQuick, follow Animal.
Animal, where are you?
KermitHe disappeared.
Submarine, wawawawawawa.
KermitThat's perfect, Animal, this'll work great, come on, let's go.
Hey, where do we get into Scooter's body when we're tiny?
There’s only one place that I know, his bellybutton.
Huh?
Are you sure, Gonzo?
Of course.
[chuckling] Hey, that's cold. [sneezes again]
KermitOkay, guys, let's do it. Okay, here we go.
[In a Pied Piper parody]
Once upon a time, there was a little town called Hamster.
I have heard this one. The town is named Hamlin, not Hamster!
This is my story and the town is Hamster! Anyway, it was ruled by a nice mayor who gave all the kids hamsters.
Hamsters, get your free hamsters!
KermitPiggy, they are rats. Besides, in the original story, the mayor is supposed to be the bad guy.
Eek, rats! No, my story has a kind mayor and hamsters! Anyway, there were so many hamsters they needed someone to cajole them out. Along came the Pied Piano Player!
Rowlf is hauling a grand piano
UGGG! Sure wish I had learned how to play the flute!
