March
7, 2005: When you get right down to it, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
is a two-hour show, which masquerades as two one-hour shows. In the first
hour, Ty Pennington and his team rebuilt the Harris family's home, and
then in the second hour, they kinda did the same thing again, but with
different footage. The Muppets were featured again, wreaking havoc in the
name of a good cause...

|
|
(In
her trailer, Miss Piggy has worked herself up.)
|
|
Kermit |
Piggy,
what's wrong?
|
|
Piggy |
Oh,
Kermie... We're on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and they won't give me a
script!
|

|
Kermit |
Piggy,
there is no script. It's a reality show!
|
|
Piggy |
Ah
ha ha ha! Reality?
|
|
Kermit |
Mm
hmm.
|
|
Piggy |
Kermie,
I'm from Hollywood. I don't do reality.
|

|
Kermit |
No,
no, no. It just means that there's no script. We just say whatever we want,
and they tape it!
|
|
Piggy |
Whatever
we want?
|
|
Kermit |
Whatever
we want.
|
|
Piggy |
Dear,
come in for a close-up.
|
|
Kermit |
Uhh...
|
|
Piggy |
Yes.
That's good.
|

|
Piggy |
Hello,
ABC! This is Miss Piggy! And I think it's about time I got my own show!
Something classy -- yet steamy! Oh, I know... Desperate Divas! Yes! Ah ha ha
ha!
|
|
Kermit |
Piggy,
will you come on? We've got to get to work. There's a house to build!
|
|
Piggy |
Kermie,
we're divas. We don't build homes -- we wreck 'em!
|

|
Kermit |
Ty's
waiting...
|
|
Piggy |
Outta
my way!
|
|
|
(Piggy
charges right over Kermit, out the door and into a montage.)
|

|
Animal |
Oh,
my hand, my hand...
|

|
Kermit |
I'm
a frog in a T-shirt!
|

|
Kermit |
How'd
they do that?
|


|
Constance |
It
was so great having the Muppets with us this week.
|
|
Animal |
MAKE-OVER!
MAKE-OVER! HA HA HA HA HA... Cut.
|


|
Ty |
We
had the Muppets, they came to help, and they were awesome...
|
|
|
(Kermit
barks at a dog outside the trailer. Then he hears a motorcycle revving up.)
|
|
Kermit |
Oh!
My hog.
|
|
Piggy |
But
I'm your hog, Kermie!
|

|
Paul |
There's
no one like the Muppets.
|
|
|
(Fozzie
struggles with a large box.)
|


|
|
(He
drops the box with a loud, horrifying crash. He looks down at the wreckage,
then turns to the people standing nearby.)
|
|
Fozzie |
Hey,
you guys are doing great. Keep up the good work!
|

|
Michael |
I'm
not exactly sure those little critters actually helped us. But it was fun,
having them around.
|
|
|
(Michael
surveys Kermit's look.)
|
|
Michael |
You
need a tan.
|
|
Kermit |
Yeah...
Well, I have to be careful. I have very sensitive skin.
|
|
Michael |
Do
you burn?
|
|
Kermit |
Oh,
yeah. Bright red.
|

|
Kermit |
Well,
I tried to pitch in wherever I could, y'know? Fozzie and I, and Miss Piggy's
around...
|

|
Kermit |
(shrieking
into his megaphone:) Come on, come on, come on, we only have TWO HOURS TO
GO!
|
|
Kermit |
Y'know,
we're fairly handy.
|

|
|
(Fozzie
approaches Paul at the workbench.)
|
|
Fozzie
|
So,
Ty...
|
|
|
(Paul
reacts.)
|
|
Fozzie
|
No,
you're not Ty! You're the other guy!
|
|
Paul
|
I'm
Paul.
|
|
Fozzie
|
Sorry!
|

|
Paul
|
What's
amazing about Fozzie is everybody thinks, oh, you know, he's not real smart,
Fozzie's not -- he's very, he's a bright guy.
|
|
Fozzie
|
Ty
told me to come over and help you.
|
|
Paul
|
Yeah,
so what can you do?
|
|
Fozzie
|
I
can tell jokes.
|
|
Paul
|
You
know what, how about a picture frame? You put a picture in it, give it to
Michael, and they'll hang it in the house.
|
|
Fozzie
|
I
like it!
|

|
Kermit
|
You
know, Paul was very, very nice to Fozzie.
|
|
Paul
|
You
need to borrow any of my tools? What do you need --
|
|
Fozzie
|
Oh,
no, no. I got my own tools right here.
|


|
Ty
|
Fozzie
Bear and Paul ended up working on a project together, and it's kinda funny, Fozzie's
a comedian.
|
|
|
(Fozzie
starts unpacking his tool box.)
|
|
Fozzie
|
Rubber
chicken...
|
|
|
(He
pulls an egg out of the box.)
|
|
Fozzie
|
Ah
ha ha! I guess the chicken came before the egg, huh?
|
|
|
(Paul
looks up from his work. Fozzie tosses the egg over his shoulder, and goes
back to the box.)
|


|
Ty |
And,
Paul? Well, he's kinda funny, but he gets tired and grumpy, so seeing those
guys working on a project together was hilarious.
|
|
|
(Fozzie
takes out a mop, a baseball, and juggling pins. Paul struggles to balance
all of this on the workbench.)
|
|
Paul |
You
want me to get you your own table?
|
|
Fozzie |
This
is okay. This is fine.
|
|
Paul |
This'll
work for you?
|
|
Fozzie |
This'll
work for me.
|

|
|
(Fozzie
pulls a plastic pepperoni pizza out of his box, and carefully lays it on the
table.)
|
|
Fozzie |
In
case we get hungry later.
|


|
Kermit |
Paul
was very patient and nice. I don't know what everybody's talking about.
Didn't seem grumpy at all.
|
|
|
(Fozzie
tries to hammer with his rubber chicken. He swings wide, and smacks Paul in
the face.)
|

|
Constance |
Who
knew Fozzie was a carpenter?
|
|
|
(Fozzie
shows off the picture frame he made.)
|
|
Fozzie |
What
do you think?
|

|
Ty |
Now,
it didn't turn out that great, but he really put his heart and soul into
this thing.
|
|
Paul |
I
think it's, it's great. It's great.
|
|
Fozzie |
Yeah?
|
|
Paul |
It's
missing something, aren't we?
|
|
Fozzie |
We
are?
|
|
Paul |
A
picture.
|
|
Fozzie |
Oh,
a picture! Oh, right! A picture. Yes.
|


|
Paul |
He's
just a great guy. He really helped me out a lot. He did a great job on his
little picture frame.
|
|
|
(Michael
grimaces as he hangs Fozzie's picture on the wall.)
|
|
Michael |
Lovely.
Not.
|
|
Paul |
Yeah,
a little narcissistic of Fozzie to put his own picture in the frame, but,
you know... it works.
|


|
|
(The
Muppets and the Makeover team get a picture taken.)
|
|
Photog |
One
more time! One, two, three!
|
|
Michael |
You're
in my LIGHT!
|
|
Piggy |
Oh,
really.
|
|
Michael |
Oh,
really!
|
|
Piggy |
It's
MY light!
|
|
Michael |
MY
light.
|
|
Piggy |
MY
light!
|

|
Ty |
Miss
Piggy was... interesting. She's a bit of a diva.
|
|
Piggy |
For
a makeover show, you sure are shy with the blush. Come on, lay it on thick!
Come on!
|


|
Michael |
That
pig had enough blush on her. But noooo, Miss Piggy wanted more.
|
|
Piggy |
Well,
I would have been here sooner, but I misunderstood! I thought this was
Extreme Makeover: Rome Edition. I just spent the last three days
wallpapering the Sistine Chapel. (She's unsatisfied.) I didn't hear any
laughs.
|
|
|
(Off
screen, people laugh.)
|
|
Piggy |
That's
more like it.
|
|
|
(They
laugh more.)
|
|
Piggy |
Don't
patronize me!
|


|
Ty |
She's
great. Very aggressive. I mean, very aggressive. Very forward.
|
|
Piggy |
Ho-ly
maracas! Who's the guy with the hair!
|
|
Kermit |
Oh,
that's Ty, Miss Piggy. He's the one who invited us here.
|
|
Piggy |
Oh.
Heh heh. Hello, Ty.
|

|
Constance |
She's
got a little thing for Ty.
|
|
Piggy |
Ty
is every girl's dream. He's charming... he's witty... and he knows how to
operate a power saw.
|


|
Ty |
Well,
you look great.
|
|
Piggy |
Because
I'm a fabulous star.
|
|
Ty |
Yes.
|
|
Piggy |
Like
vous. Ah ha ha!
|



|
|
(Ty
cracks up, and it takes a minute for him to get it together. Piggy turns and
walks away.)
|
|
Piggy |
Okay,
let's get this show on the road!
|

|
Kermit |
You
know what? If Piggy wants to throw herself at Ty Pennington, who am I to
stand in the way?
|
|
Piggy |
Outta
my way!
|


|
Kermit
|
Hmph.
Why should I care. I mean, I sorta care, but.
|

|
Constance
|
You
know, those kinds of things should be left off the job site, Miss Piggy.
|
We
meet up with the Muppets again later,
when
the Harris family returns from Disney World
to
see their new house...


|
Kermit
|
You
know, we were sort of honored to be a part of this, to be able to do
something so nice for such a great family. It's wonderful. The Muppets love
to do things like that.
|
|
|
(The
family arrives in their van.)
|
|
Kermit
|
It's
the Harrises! Yaaaaaaaay!
|


|
Ty |
Welcome
home, Harris family!
|
|
Kermit |
Look,
there they are!
|
|
Ty |
And
of course, the sextuplets!
|
|
Kermit |
Wow.
|
|
Piggy |
I
think I want six, Kermie!
|
|
Kermit |
Six
what?
|
|
Piggy |
You
know...
|



|
Kermit |
You
know, it was very touching when the Harrises came home. I personally shed a
small tear. From each eye. One on each eye.
|

|
Piggy |
How
do I look? Do I look good? I'm not shining too much, am I? I mean, I'm a
star, I don't want to shine too much, you know. Yes. I want Ty to really
like me. I want him to like me. Okay. Oh, thank you, dear.
|

That's
Monday's show...
