Kermit
|
Whoa,
what an opening! Louie, how'd you like it?
|
|
Louie
|
[
reading a magazine ] What? Oh -- I loved it. Now, if you'll excuse
me... I have to get ready for my number.
|
|
|
[
Louie pulls a curtain across his monitor. ]
|
|
Kermit
|
Mm.
Okay. Digit -- are you still picking up television signals from the Andromeda
Galaxy?
|
|
Digit
|
Sssh,
Kermit! The glinstroff is loose! Oh, Lord, he's picking up the cupcakes! DON'T
OPEN THE DOOR!
|
|
Kermit
|
Must
be some sort of intergalactic horror movie.
|
|
Digit
|
Oh,
no -- don't do THAT!
|
|
Kermit
|
What'd
they DO? What'd they DO?
|
|
Digit
|
They
cut to commercial! Don't you just HATE that?
|
|
Kermit
|
Good
grief.
|
|
|
[
The curtain pulls back. ]
|
|
Kermit
|
Oh,
look -- it's our guest star, Louie Anderson! Now here's something we can
actually see!
|

|
|
[
On the screen, Louie is having dinner in a fancy restaurant -- with an
enormous killer lizard. ]
|
|
Louie
|
Geez,
I didn't expect such an elegant place -- no, I was surprised that they made
you put on that tie. I know how you resent that sort of thing. Did it upset
you?
|
|
Codzilla
|
GRRR-AAAAARRRRR-RRRR!
|
|
Annc
|
Coming
to a specially selected theater near you -- Louie Anderson's remake of a
film classic: My Dinner with Codzilla!
|
|
Louie
|
I
really admire the way you can express yourself so freely. I mean, look at
me, here, right now. I really wanted this steak well done. But I have to go
through this whole involved mental process, just to bring myself to send
something back!
|
|
|
[
Codzilla growls and breathes fire on Louie's steak. ]
|

|
Louie
|
Oh,
thanks... but, see? That's what I mean. You can act on your impulses.
While I sit here, I've got my mother's voice in my head, saying: Hey -- what
about your table manners? I mean, do you ever have that kind of inner
conflict when you're stomping down cities?
|
|
|
[
Codzilla growls and tears a chunk out of the wall. ]
|
|
Louie
|
This
was a four-star restaurant... I think you just knocked it down to two.
That's what I admire about you. You're so, I don't know... focused. You know
what you want, and you go after it. Or am I just playing into my need to see
you that way?
|
|
|
[
Codzilla crashes through the roof, showering Louie with plaster. ]
|
|
Annc
|
Perplexing
-- provocative -- challenging: My Dinner with Codzilla.
|
|
|
[
Louie looks at the check. ]
|
|
Louie
|
Let's
see... now, you had Tokyo, right?
|
|
|
[
Codzilla smashes his way out of the restaurant. ]
|
|
Kermit
|
Hmm.
Boy, there's a movie to keep an eye out for.
