Kermit
|
Hey,
that looks like New York City. Fozzie? How's New York?
|
|
Fozzie
|
[
on a monitor: ] Oh, Kermit! Hi! Oh, it's great! Oh, yeah, I've come to
the Big Apple, to showcase my comic a-peel! Get it? Apple? A peel?
Ahhhh!
|
|
Kermit
|
Same
old Fozzie, same old jokes.
|
|
Fozzie
|
No,
no, no, Kermit, you're wrong. I have chosen a new career, with real artistic
integrity.
|
|
Kermit
|
Oh?
And what career might that be?
|
|
Fozzie
|
I
am going to be -- a TV weatherman!
|


|
Kermit
|
A
TV weatherman? Fozzie, are you sure?
|
|
Fozzie
|
Of
course, Kermit! It is time to move on. It's time to leave behind the funny
nose and glasses. [ He tosses them. ] Time to say goodbye to the
childish whoopee cushion. [ Splat. ] And, of course, the tired
old banana peel. [ He drops it. ] Kermit, I am now on my way to
NBC headquarters to meet -- Willard Scott. Yes! Wish me luck!
|
|
|
[
Fozzie turns to go -- and slips on the banana peel he dropped. He falls to
the ground with a crash. ]
|
|
Fozzie
|
Ya-aa-aa!
[ He gets up. ] It was... the banana peel... Forget it.
|
|
|
[
Fozzie exits. ]
|
|
Kermit
|
Well,
I guess if he can slip up there, he can slip up anywhere. Digit -- cue the
soap opera!
|

|
|
[
Soap-opera organ music. ]
|
|
Husband
|
Darling?
|
|
Wife
|
Yes,
sweetiebuns?
|
|
Husband
|
I
just spoke with Mrs Goldfarb.
|
|
Wife
|
Oh...
about my operation?
|
|
Husband
|
Yes...
|

|
|
[
The doorbell rings -- and suddenly, the door blows off its hinges, and
monsters bust in. ]
|
|
Purple
M
|
Hello!
|
|
Pink
M
|
Hi!
|
|
Purple
M
|
May
we come in?
|
|
Husband
|
Oh!
It's monsters!
|
|
Purple
M
|
Actually,
we don't like being called monsters. We prefer the term "cosmetically
challenged." Ha ha ha.
|

|
Pink
M
|
Have
you GIVEN yet?
|
|
Husband
|
What?
|
|
Pink
M
|
TWENTY
BUCKS!
|
|
B-Day
M
|
Thirty
bucks and we'll give you your kid back.
|
|
|
[
The Husband and Wife burst into tears. The monsters laugh. ]
|
|
Husband
|
Wait!
We don't have any kids.
|
|
Monsters
|
Huh?
|
|
|
[
The Beautiful-Day Monster has a baby in his arms. The baby instantly starts
bawling and screaming. ]
|
|
Purple
M
|
FIFTY
bucks -- or we leave him HERE!
