The Goodies · Season 1, Episode 15

Tim and Graeme in “Unfinished Business”

[the Goodies have been told there's half an hour to go before the end of the world]

Tim

At least there's time to do the ironing.

[Brings in the ironing board and a basket of laundry]

Tim

Just think, this is the end of Derby County... and the Muppets!

Graeme

The Muppets?

Tim

Yes, when we go, they'll go too, you know... oh, I do hope they don't suffer.

Graeme

They're not real, you know!

Tim

Well, of course they're real!

Graeme

Don't be silly... the Muppets are just dollies!

Tim

If they're "dollies", how come they can sing and dance and make sophisticated funny remarks?

Graeme

Look, Kermit the frog is a green sock.

Tim

[suddenly disturbed] What?

Graeme

Kermit the frog is a man on his knees with a green sock on his hand!

[to demonstrate, he uses a green sock as a glove puppet and imitates Kermit]

Graeme

"Hello frog lovers, and welcome to the Muppet Show! I'd like to welcome our very special guest, Miss Piggy. Yay-ay-ay-ay!"

Tim

Well she has GOT to be real.

Graeme

Pair of old y-fronts and a mop head.

[He holds up a pair of underpants and a mop head, and speaks like Miss Piggy]

Graeme

"Hello Kermit, spawn of my heart, frog of my dreams!"

[as Kermit]

Graeme

"Hi there Miss Piggy, and what can I do for you?" Fozzie Bear is a brown woolly jumper with a hat on!

[Holds up a brown pullover and a hat and speaks like Fozzie]

Graeme

"Oh boy, funn-y! Oh Kermit, I hope those two old guys don't heckle me!"

[Holds up two sponge balls and imitates Waldorf and Statler]

Graeme

"Boo boo, the bear's a comedian, the comedian's a bear! Boo, boo!"

[Waves a feather duster in Tim's face and bellows]

Graeme

"A-NI-MAL!"

Tim

[Nearly hysterical] No, stop it! Lies! LIES!

Graeme

[holds up the green sock again and sings] "Halfway up the staircase..."

Tim

NO!

[runs into the kitchen, screaming]

Graeme

I released his inhibitions through anger and violence! My work is at an end. I can die a happy man.

[Tim emerges screaming from the kitchen and throws the gas cooker at Graeme]

Graeme

You shouldn't have hit me with that! You've ruined the cake!
