Kermit

Yeah, well, I tell you, Charlie, if she's able to do this, I'll eat my -- what? Oh. Ahem. Hello there, Kermit the Frog here, to report on one of the world's greatest athletic events -- for in just a few moments, you are going to see an actual cow jump over the moon!  [ Cheer ]  Yes! That's what you're going to see right here, folks! Uh, maybe you've heard about this classic feat before, you know, they wrote a poem about it, it went: Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon.  [ Cheer ]  The crowd is roaring, here they come now! 

Cat

Make way for the cow! Make way for the jumpin' cow! And here she is, folks -- the jumpin' COW!  [ Cheer ]

Kermit

Listen to that crowd roar!

Cat

Stand over there, Natalie...

Kermit

Uh, pardon me, may I ask the cow a few questions?

Cat

I'm her manager, frog, what do you wanna know?

Kermit

Well, uh -- just why is it, Ms Cow --

Cat

Call her Natalie!

Natalie

Call me Natalie.

Kermit

Oh, okay... uh, well, how come, Natalie, how come is it that you want to jump over the moon, how come.

Natalie

Because it's there. Because I want to prove that we cows can do anything we set our minds to. 

Cat

Terrific answer, kid.

Natalie

People think we do nothing but moo and give milk all day -- but they're wrong. We can do anything we set our minds to.

Kermit

Well, I believe it. 

Cat

Yeah, yeah! All right, everybody, stand back, it is time for the jump! Ready, sweetheart?

Natalie

All systems go, Cat!

Cat

Then let's have a fanfare, please!  [ The Cat plays a fanfare on his fiddle. ]  All right! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Countdown for the moon!

Kermit

This is a very exciting moment, folks.

Cat

All right! Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Good luck, baby! Five! Four! Three! Two! One! BLAST OFF!

Natalie

Moo-OO-OO-OO!

[ Natalie blasts off into the sky. The Cat accompanies her flight with a rendition of "Wild Blue Yonder" on the fiddle. ]

Kermit

WOW! There she goes! It looks like a beautiful jump... She's thirteen miles down range now... All systems green... Approaching first stage shutdown...

Cat

Atta way, baby!

Kermit

The G-forces are decreasing... We have escape velocity and trans lunar injection... and THERE SHE GOES!

Kermit

Lunar gravity is taking over... She's reaching apogee... She's over the moon!

Cat

She did it! She did it! 

Kermit

And now she's starting her return flight! Or should I say PLUNGE! Here she comes, folks, she should be contacting Earth at any moment... Her retros are firing...

Natalie

[ falling ]  Eeeeeeeee-YAAAAAAAAA!

[ C-RASH!!! Natalie falls, smashing into the platform and knocking Kermit and the Cat to the ground. Kermit struggles to get up. ]

Kermit

SPLASHDOWN! There you have it, folks! The cow jumped over the moon!

Natalie

Oh, my! A small jump for cow, a giant leap for cowdom!

Cat

You all right, sweetheart?

Natalie

Phew! You don't know the hoof of it.

Kermit

Well, that's all from here... Kermit the Frog reporting... Tune in next week for the first annual Jack and Jill hill climb!

Cat

Let's get outta here...
