Ernst Stavros Grouper quotes from Muppets Tonight

[Cheering] Grouper, grouper, give a shout,

Excuse me, but who are you?

We're the corporate majorettes. [One bimbo punches Kermit in the face]

What did you do that for?

This is a hostile make-over.

[Entering] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! That is take-over, you bubblehead! Now get back to the limo. I don't know why I made them senior executive vice-presidents.

Woof!!

Ah, now I remember.

Excuse me, but what are you doing to my office?

It's not your office anymore. Now that I'm in charge, there will be lots of changes, Virgil.

Er, my name is Kermit.

That's one of the changes, from now on you are Virgil the Monkey.

[upon seeing the Two Homies of Verona] This is trash. There is only one way I can see to improve it, and that's not to see it at all!

That's not very nice.

No, this is not very nice: Beavis, intimidate them!

Hello everyone, Kermit the Fr... [Ernst Stavros Grouper coughs] Virgil the Monkey here.

Make the noise

Ee, ee, ee, oo, oo, oo. O.

I love this little monkey.

Anyway: I want to introduce you to the new owner of our station, Mr. Ernst Stavros Grouper.

Now, as your new owner I would like to get to know each of you by name: Who are you?

Well, I'm Rizzo the Rat

Not anymore, now you're Alfred the Worm!

What the...?

And you: Who are you?

Err, I'm Bobo the Bear.

Not anymore, now... you're... Whitley Nibbles the Television Elf.

Alright.

And, er, let's see, who, who are you?

Well, I'm, err,... Bob, and, Err,... raisins come out of my Ears.

No, you are Bill, and bubbles come out of your head.

It worked! YES!

Now, now, now. There will be a few more changes. Number One: Yellow will be known as the official color of naughtiness. Number two: I expect you all to anticipate my needs before they are spoken.

Number three.

Very good, Alfred, my obsiquious little worm.

Err, Mr. Grouper?

Yes, my little funky monkey.

I am a frog, I am not a monkey.

Yes, and the Elephant Man is a human being, what else is new?

Well, I tell you what's new. Just because you bought the company, it does not give you the right to come in here and push the Muppets around.

What are you saying Virgil?!

I tell you what I'm saying: if the Muppets can't be who the Muppets are, then I quit, Grouper, I quit, quit, quit!

[sweet] Virgil, Virgil, my spunky little funky monkey, you cannot quit.

Why is that?

BECAUSE YOU'RE FIRED!! Muhahahaha!
