• Doc Hopper : Max, I've done my best with that frog, now's the time to do my worst. Open the door.

  Max : No, YOU open the door!

  Doc Hopper : What?

  Max : I'm through, Doc. The frog is right. You're asking him to do something terrible. I can't be a part of it. It's a moral decision and I'll stand by it.

  Doc Hopper : I'll double your percentage.

  Max : I'll open the door.

• Doc Hopper : And remember, this frog does everything: he talks, he sings, he dances, he tells jokes, he even rides a bicycle. Max, find me a frog and a bear in a tan Studebaker.

  Max : [Fozzie and Kermit appear in Fozzie's Studebaker, now rainbow-colored]  Gee, Doc, all I can see is a frog and a bear in a *rainbow*-colored Studebaker.

• Kermit : Did we do something wrong, Officer?

  All Muppets : [Shocked when it reveals that the police officer is Max] 

  Kermit : Okay, guys, let him explain.

  Max : This whole disguise is only so that I can warn you.

  Fozzie : Okay, sure, sure.

  Max : I never thought Doc was going to hurt Kermit; I thought he was going to lean on him a little. But now he's got this frog killer in from the coast, And the man is DEADLY!

  All Muppets : [Everybody gets shocked about the frog killer] 

  Kermit : Hold it, Dr. Teeth, What's up ahead?

  Dr. Teeth : It's only an old ghost town.

  Kermit : Right.

  [to Max] 

  Kermit : Listen, you go back and tell Doc Hopper I'll be waiting for him there.

  Max : What?

  Fozzie : [as everybody get scared and concerned]  Kermit! You'll get killed!

  Kermit : Listen. Listen, guys, I can't spend my whole life running away from a bully. It's time for a showdown.

• Dr. Teeth : Hey, hey hey! It's the man with the badge! Police, The Fuzz, The P.I... .

  Miss Piggy : DON'T YOU DARE!

  Dr. Teeth : I wasn't gonna think about it.

  Kermit : Uh, Did we do something wrong, Officer?

  [Everybody gets shocked when they found out that the police officer reveals to be Max] 

  Kermit : Okay, Guys. Let him explain.

  Max : This whole disguise is only so that I can warn you.

  Fozzie : Oh, Okay. Sure.

  Max : I never though Doc is gonna hurt Kermit. I thought he's gonna lean on him a little. But now he has hired a frog killer in from the coast. And the man is DEADLY!
