Dr. Van Neuter

Let's see here... Have you ever experienced any achiness in your tentacles?

I don't have tentacles!

Dr. Van Neuter

Good, no achy tentacles, good... Head ever come off?

No, I don't think so.

Dr. Van Neuter

Good, good, good. Any gingivitis?

No.

Dr. Van Neuter

Great. What about problems with that beaky thing you've got there? Itching, swelling, flaking?

Well, some flaking a couple years ago-

Dr. Van Neuter
[throws away clipboard]

Oh, who cares? It's showtime! Here we go.

Oh, brother.

Dr. Van Neuter

Excellent, excellent.

What's that thing?

Dr. Van Neuter

I don't know. Here we go. Here we go. Just stay like that.

Okay.

This way.

Whose bright idea was this, anyway?

Which way, Kermit?

Kermin! Kermin! This way.

I can't breathe!

Come on, Kermin!

Dr. Van Neuter

Okay. Here we go.

Wait, wait.

Dr. Van Neuter

What is it?

Are you sure this is covered by my HMO?

Dr. Van Neuter

Good question. I'll check.

Gonzo.

Rizzo. You're alive. Where have you been?

You don't want to know. Sit tight while I chew through these straps.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Dr. Van Neuter

Good news. You're covered with a $10 co-pay. Okay, hold still. And remember, if you experience any unpleasantness, please let me know. I'd hate to miss it.

Do you mind?

Dr. Van Neuter

Excuse me. Wait! Oh, good Lord! A rat! I hate rats!

Then today ain't your lucky day, Doc.

Rat #1

Ready for an operation?

Rat #2

A little experiment.

Forward, Piggy. Forward.

Doctor.

Doctor.

Doctor.

Doctor.

Just a couple of doctors.

Doctors in the hallway. That was close.

To the right, Fozzie.

Forward, Piggy. Too fast, too fast. The door. Stop!

What in the world?

This is big, general. I think we should notify the president.

General Luft

I'll be the judge of that.

As always, sir.

Dr. Van Neuter

No, don't tickle me!

What do we do?

Will you please get me out of here?

Dr. Van Neuter

No, no, no! I can't breathe!

Hey, guys. Quick, get me out of here!

Today, sir... ...we must think with a big mind. Behold. Irrefutable evidence of extraterrestrial life.

Dr. Van Neuter

Release me...

This looks worse than it is, general. Obviously, the...

Dr. Van Neuter

Get off of me, you vermin!

The alien is loose in the building. But not to worry, because...

General Luft

Don't bother. You're terminated.

When you say "terminated"...

General Luft

YOU NEED HELP, SINGER! FIND SOME!

Agent Rentro

Well, how'd that go for you, then? Okay?

So sorry I got you into this mess. Anyway, thanks for coming to save me.

You can thank us once we're out of here. All right, everybody, quietly now.

Woman in Security Guard

Stop! Come back here!

Animal

Help! Mommy!

Woman in Security Guard

Please, please. Listen to me. You can't leave me. I need you.

Animal

I go now.

Woman in Security Guard

Fine. Go on, go. You're all alike. Animals. Call me.

Animal! Animal!

Come here!
Way to go, Romeo. Now let's get out of here.

Let's go, let's go.

I'm gonna kill somebody.

Agent Rentro

Now, now. Remember, calm blue ocean. You let it go. Baby steps, remember? Baby...

FIND THE ALIEN! NOW!

Agent Rentro

Yes, sir.

[to himself]

Where is he?

Agent Rentro

I didn't overhear anything...

[looks up]

Did I ask you if you overheard anything?

Agent Rentro
[guilty]

No, sir.

Because if you did overhear anything, l'm sure you would tell me.

Agent Rentro

Yes, sir.

Or do I have to remind you of Mr. Jumbo's Circus Town and Wild Animal Revue? [Rentro looks afraid] [angrily] Where's he going?! [Rentro stays silent] Oh, look; Sunday's half price at the petting zoo...!

Agent Rentro

Okay, okay! They're going to Cape Doom!

Good, good. Get me the Subatomic Neutro-Destabilizer. [Rentro looks at him blankly] The Subatomic Neutro... [gives up] Oh, the really big gun.

Agent Rentro

The really big gun! Yes, sir! The really big gun... [retrieves it from a secret compartment, and hands it to Singer] Really big gun.

[holds out hand]

Clip.

Agent Rentro
[hands it to him]

Clip!

[Singer loads the gun]

Let's head for my car.

Agent Rentro
[stops]

Oh. Problem there, sir. [Singer stops] Remember those parking tickets you asked me to take care of for you? And I said that-

Oh, just say it.
Agent Rentro ...Car's impounded. [Singer glares at him] Oh, we can take my company car!

...Fine.

Agent Rentro

Great! ♪Sixty-six bottles of beer on the wall, Sixty-six bottles of beer...♪

Excuse me. Excuse me! Can this thing go any faster?

Agent Rentro

I'm doing 30. You want to slow down there, buddy? A lot of traffic tonight, sir. Safety first.

[After Singer's gun fails to fire at Gonzo and his family] [relieved]

That was a close one.

Agent Rentro

Not as close as you think, my friend. [holds up gun clip] [imitating gun:] "Please load weapon"!

No, no. You said you going to tell him, okay?

Pepe, will you listen to me, the Jacuzzi thing was your idea, and you have to tell him!

[beat]

Si, I will tell him, okay?

Right.

They're calling me!

Here he comes. Hey, Gonzo!

I can't talk now, guys.

You should've told him.

I wasn't supposed to! You were!

No, you said you'd tell him.

I said, you! I meant you.

Hi, guys. I'm here. Just leave the tractor here in front, okay?

And that's the way it is. This is Miss Piggy saying good night, and have a great...

Man

Hey! Where's my coffee?

Uh, uh... I'm... Coming! Coming! Coming! Coming.

Man

Hey, Piggy, I'll take one.

In a minute.

Man

Light, no sugar.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Woman

Shelley's stuck at the airport. She won't make it on time.

Martin

Okay, I am not gonna panic. Who am I kidding? Yes, I am. No? No, I'm not. Okay, I'm panicking. Who can we possibly get at the last minute? Who?

Cappuccino?

Woman

Stand by, everybody.

Martin

Roll tape, please! And cue I.D.

Woman

We're on in 5, 4, 3, 2...

Hey, look! It's Piggy's new show.

Martin

Read. Read.

Oh, oh, oh. Um... Um... "Hello again. I'm Shelley Snipes." Mm. Uh... Uh... "Today on UFO Mania, flying saucers and their extraterrestrial pilots."

Wish I could find my pants.

Kermit, you should come to see this.

"I'm sure you've often wondered what might those alien creatures look like?"

Piggy!

People of Earth, do not be alarmed. My message will be brief. I am Gonzo.

Gonzo? Hmph?

Uh... Piggy?

Man

I don't have a Gonzo.

There seems to be some mistake.

[Gonzo appears on TV]

Dang! You better get down there, Kerm.

Relax, no one is going anywhere, okay?

[on TV]

You see, I was contacted through my breakfast cereal, and it was confirmed by the Cosmic Fish that I am from outer space.

[to Kermit]

So, you wanna go now, or wait for the commercial?

...Now. [gets off the couch] come on.

What are you doing here?

Huh? I'm making contact. What are you doing?

Um...

Martin

Interview him.

I'm interviewing... I'm interviewing you!

Great! What would you like to know?

The whole tearful tale of your inner struggle, Gonzo.

Oh. I want my people to know I've received their messages, and my response is: "I am here."

"I am here." Bingo.

I'm at 44 Bronson Lane, and I can't wait to meet you.

And I can't wait to meet you.

Agent Rentro

Me too. He's very charismatic, don't you think?

Freeze that! I want him here and I want him now.

Agent Rentro

Yes, sir.

So you're our fancy little landscaper.

Woman

Rap it out. We're gonna take a break.

Oh, oh, oh. Yes. We are going to pause here, and we'll be right back with Gonzo the geek who fell to Earth with moi, Miss...

Woman

And we're out. 90 seconds, folks.

Martin

Now that is TV. The phones are lighting up like Vegas. What power, what heat. You're a hit!

Thank you, thank you.

Martin

Not you. Him.

Me?

Martin

Gonzo, you've got it.

Sure wish we could find a cure for it.

Rizzo?

Gonzo?

Kermie?

Piggy?

Martin

What the heck is going on here.

Listen, Gonzo, aren't you taking this alien thing a little too far?

Kermit, I realize that it may be hard for you to accept me as an alien, but I didn't choose to be one. Well, I've always had alien tendencies. This just makes sense to me.

Martin

Beautiful, big G. I see a follow-up episode here.

Me, too. "The Alien in My Life." A Miss Piggy special report.

Martin

What are you talking about? You're the coffee pig.

Who?

Martin

Now, you see...

Kermit, he's such a joker.

We'll take this from here.

What?

We're with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Aliens. We feel your pain, Gonzo.

They feel my pain.

I got a paper cut that's a doozy. You feel my pain too?

Can you help me make contact with my alien tribe?

Yes, we can, Gonzo.

Well, somebody believes me. Come on, fellas. Take me to my leader.

But, but... Gonzo.

I don't like the look of them. This rat smells a rat.

The limo's right this way.

Thank you.

Did he say limo? Wait a second, I'm his translator.

Martin

Wait! You know this Gonzo, right?

Um, if the price is right.

Martin

The price?

Look. I deliver Gonzo's exclusive life story, okay? If you make moi your new anchorwoman.

Woman

We're back in 15 seconds.

Martin

Well, what about Shelley?

Shelley, shmelly.

Martin

Yes, yes! Go.

All right! Excuse me. Excuse me. Hey, studmuffin, hold it.

I'll deal with her.

You'll deal with moi? Look, chumpo, I'm just trying to get a story, okay?

How about this story? It's about a big bad wolf and a little pig.

No, that's three pigs, okay?

Not in this version.

Hey, wait a minute. You're not part of that alien-protection agency. Who are you? WHERE ARE YOU TAKING GONZO? Hey...

I'm impressed. Black belt, third degree.

Platinum belt, with an unlimited line of credit.

I like this party.

Tough guy. TOUGH GUY! Come on. Show me! Show me! Look! Cindy Crawford.

Where have you been all my life?

Is that all you got? IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?! Is that all you got? Is that all you got? NOT THE NOOGIE! MAMA!
