Scene 1: The Muppet Boarding House
Narrator: It was a lovely afternoon here at the Muppet Boarding House, and Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, Walter, Scooter and the rest of the gang were just sitting around, relaxing and having such a wonderful time of their lives, flash backing to the events of their past films, such as The Muppet Movie (1979).
Walter: "Hey, Kermit, Fozzie, guys, do you remember your very 1st movie, The Muppet Movie back in 1979?"
Kermit: "Well, Walter, it all began with my entire life in the swamp right before I met up with Fozzie, Gonzo and the rest of you guys and right before you came along and met all of us."
Janice: "Oh wow, it happened that 1 time."
Floyd: "I remember it like it was a very long time ago."
Beaker: "Mee mo, mo, mee, mo, mee."
Bunsen: "Oh, yes, Beaker, I believe you do have a wonderful memory about it."
Flashback to the scenes from The Muppet Movie (1979)
[Banjo Music Playing In Background]
Kermit: Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Kermit (continued): rainbows are visions
but only illusions
and rainbows have nothing to hide
Kermit: so we've been told
and some choose to believe it
I know their wrong, wait and see
Kermit (continued): some day we'll find it
the rainbow connection
the lovers, the dreamers and me
[Music Continues Playing]
Kermit: who said that every wish
would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star
Kermit (continued): somebody thought of that
and someone believed it
and look what it's done so far
Kermit: what's so amazing
that keeps us stargazing
and what do we think we might see
Kermit (continued): someday we'll find it
the rainbow connection
the lovers, the dreamers and me
all of us under its spell, we know that it's probably magic
Kermit: have you been half asleep?
and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Kermit (continued): is this the sweet sound
that called the young sailors?
the voice might be 1 in the same
Kermit: I've heard it too many times to ignore it
it's something that I'm supposed to be
someday we'll find it
the rainbow connection
the lovers, the dreamers and me
Kermit (continued): la, da, da di da, da, dum doo, da, da, da, dum, di, da, doo
[Music Ends]
Bernie is rowing his canoe over to where Kermit is located.
Bernie: "Hey, somebody, help me, this is a serious call for help!"
Kermit: "Oh, hey, Bernie, what can I do for you here?"
Bernie: "I got myself lost, I was on my way to find somebody very talented and important for a Hollywood movie production, and I'm hoping it's you."
Kermit: "Oh joy, how very exciting, I'll be on my way to Hollywood in a jiffy."
Bernie: "That's good, well, I gotta go, make sure you get there in the nick of time."
Kermit gets up, places his banjo in the basket of his shiny bike and heads off on his journey.
Kermit: [Narrating] And so, I was on my fantastic journey, 'til I saw something up ahead, which was very disturbing.
Kermit stops by and sees that some work men are putting up a Doc Hopper's French Fried Frog Legs business franchise, and he's very nervous, and he's about to turn away from it, but he doesn't notice the steam roller.
Worker Man # 1: "Hey, lay off the asfault, alright?!"
Max: "Hey, you on the shiny bike, watch out for the steam roller!"
Kermit: [Narrating] I turned and began panicking in alarm just as I saw the steamroller coming right behind me, and to make matters worse, I looked up ahead and saw 1 piece of construction equipment blocking my way, and this didn't look good."
Max: "Oh, good grief, no!"
Kermit is now on the steam roller…..
Kermit: "Oh my word, that's very dangerous building a road right in the middle of the street here, I mean, if frogs couldn't hop around, I'd be gone with the schwinn!"
Kermit: [Narrating] Later on, I stopped right by The El Sleezo Café, and I went inside to meet Fozzie onstage, and later on, he and I became real good friends and rode with 1 another in a studebaker that his uncle loaned him, then we collected Gonzo, Scooter, Dr. Teeth, Floyd, Janice, Zoot, Animal and everybody else, and had a showdown with Doc Hopper, himself."
Kermit: "Alright, Hopper!"
Doc Hopper: "Alright, Mr. frog, 1 more chance: you can do my television commercials live or stuffed."
Kermit: "What the heck is wrong with you? you gotta be crazy chasing me
right across the country, why in the world are you doing this to me?!"
Doc Hopper: "Because in my entire life I wanted to own a lot of frog leg restaurants, and you're the key to do them, greenie."
Kermit: "Yeah, well, I've got a dream and vision too, but it's about karaoke singing and tap dancing and making other people cheerful, the kind of dream and vision that gets much better, the more people you share it with, and, well, I've found an entire bunch of good friends who have the exact same dream and vision, and it kind of makes all of us like a close family, you got anybody like that, Hopper? when you get all of those restaurants, who are you gonna share it with? who are your good friends, Doc?"
Doc Hopper: "You mean these guys? I've got lots of good friends: Max, for instance."
Doc Hopper: "Max, get over here!"
Kermit: "I don't really think that you're a terrible man, Doc, I think that if you look right into your heart and soul, you'll find out that you really wanna let me and my good friends go, to follow our dream and vision, but if that's not the kind of man you are, and if what I'm actually saying, doesn't make any sense to you, well, then, go ahead and attack me."
Doc Hopper: "Alright, men, attack him."
Max: "No, wait, stop, please, look behind all of you!"
A giant size Animal emerges from the roof of Bunsen and Beaker's laboratory.
Kermit: [Narrating] "And that's when Animal scared away Doc Hopper and his men, and later on, we all went to Hollywood to become official film stars."
End flashback sequences….
Kermit: "And that's exactly how we all came along to be together as always."
Gonzo: "Wow, even I always remember my plumbing business."
Fozzie: "And driving around in that studebaker which broke down and had to be sold to that used car shop."
Dr. Teeth: "We'll always remember driving over to Hollywood on that bus, ever since 1979."
Scooter: "And we're all gonna be here as always for a very long period of time."
Wayne: "You can always say that again."
Wanda: "True friendship 'til the very end."
Mildred Huxtetter: "The Muppet Show will always live on for life and comedy."
