Kermit

Hello there, and welcome to tonight's show!

Leon

Kermit, my cuz, have I got an act for you! 

Kermit

Oh, well, that's very nice of you, Leon, but everything's booked for tonight. The show is complete!

Leon

Except for one thing! Rhonda, honey -- c'mere! Boy, this lady has a set of pipes you wouldn't believe! 

Kermit

Uh, Leon -- I've got all the singers I need! Digit -- roll the opening!

Leon

Just show him what you can do, honey. 

Kermit

What?

[ Rhonda lets out a piercing high note, which shatters most of the monitors behind them. Kermit looks at her in disbelief. ]

Rhonda

[ deep male voice: ]  Does this mean I don't get the job? 

Henson

Good evening, and welcome to our show. 

Dog

Woof! 

Henson

Wait a second. You're not the lion. 

Dog

No. I'm the Dog. I work with the Storyteller.  

Henson

Oh, yeah. Later on, the Storyteller's going to tell an eerie tale called "The Soldier and Death." 

[ clip of the Soldier playing cards with devils ] 

Dog

That was eerie! 

Henson

So, listen, where's the lion?

Dog

Your frog got him a job in front of the public library. 

Henson

Well, that's strange. Kermit, is everything okay?

Kermit

Uh, don't worry, Jim. Except for a small monitor problem, I've got everything under control. Our guest stars are the Nylons, and Fozzie Bear's going to pay a visit to the Today Show. 

Lindy

So, chief... how did this happen?

Kermit

Oh, well, uh... oh, I'll show you. Instant replay! 

[ The earlier scene appears on one of the monitors; Kermit narrates as they watch it. ]

Kermit

See, here I am doing my introduction... and then Leon shows up with this woman, and she went --  

[ On the instant replay, Rhonda hits her high note. The last remaining monitor smashes. ] 

Lindy

Yup. That'll do it.

[ Cut to commercial. ]
