• Fozzie : Hey, why don't you join us?

  Gonzo : Where are you going?

  Fozzie : We're following our dream!

  Gonzo : Really? I have a dream, too!

  Fozzie : Oh?

  Gonzo : But you'll think it's stupid.

  Fozzie : No we won't, tell us, tell us!

  Gonzo : Well, I want to go to Bombay, India and become a movie star.

  Fozzie : You don't go to Bombay to become a movie star! You go where we're going: Hollywood.

  Gonzo : Sure, if you want to do it the *easy* way.

  Fozzie : [to Kermit]  We've picked up a weirdo...

• Miss Piggy : Oh Kermie, you were so courageous, so magnificent!

  Kermit : Gee, I don't know what to say.

  Fozzie : Say the bear was magnificent. After all, I did the driving.

  Gonzo : And I took a hundred-foot belly flop onto a moving car!

  Miss Piggy : Yes, but Kermit assumed the awesome responsibility of command!

  Kermit : Gee.

  Fozzie : Oh, brother.

  Gonzo : About seven knots!

• [the members of The Electric Mayhem are introducing themselves one by one]

  Animal : Ah-ha-ha-ha.

• Floyd Pepper : [about the Insta-Grow pills]  Yeah, man, well, what else do these pills make big?

  Dr. Bunsen Honeydew : Oh, they'll work on anything, but the effect is, sadly, temporary.

  Beaker : Sadly temporary.

  [sighs] 

• Gonzo : [to Miss Piggy]  If you were a chicken, you'd be impeccable.

• Gonzo : All right, Camilla, I'll get you a balloon, but *you* have to pick the color: red or green?

  Balloon Vendor : Can I give you a word of advice?

  Gonzo : What?

  Balloon Vendor : Why not take both?

  [smiles encouragingly] 

  Gonzo : [gasps]  What a wild idea!

  Balloon Vendor : Yeah, a beautiful chicken like that deserves two balloons.

  Gonzo : You're right.

  Balloon Vendor : I have guys come in all the time. Sometimes, they'll get a buncha balloons for their girls, and they go gaga for it.

  Gonzo : Gaga? I'll take the whole bunch!

  Camilla : Gaga! Gaga!

• Gonzo : Wow, nice looking chickens.

  Camilla : What?

  Gonzo : Oh, no hard feelings, dear.

  Rowlf the Dog : Yeah, whatever.
