Quotes 

• Kermit the Frog : Thank you! And welcome, again, to The Muppet Show, where tonight, we are delighted to have the one and only Miss Raquel Welch...

  Miss Piggy : [clears her throat]  Pity we can't book an important guest star on this show.

  Kermit the Frog : Uh, well, what are you saying, Piggy? Tonight we have an internationally acclaimed actress, singer, dancer and one of the sexiest ladies alive!

  Miss Piggy : You got that every night, Frog!

• Raquel Welch : [reading from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice]  The quality of mercy is not strain'd. It droppeth as a gentle rain upon the place beneath...

  Scooter : Uh, changing your image, huh?

  Raquel Welch : Yes, well, I was toying with the idea.

  Scooter : Well, you do what you want, Miss Welch. On this show, you don't have to dress up in any of those scanty, revealing costumes.

  Raquel Welch : Oh! Thank you, Scooter.

  Scooter : Well, not unless you really want to.

  Raquel Welch : Well...

  Dr. Teeth , Gonzo , Floyd Pepper , Quongo , Green Frackle : [several Muppets appear in the door opening]  Oh, please want to!

• Miss Piggy : [after Raquel's opening number]  Uh... I thought she was going to change her image.

  Kermit the Frog : Well, she might be changing her image, but you wouldn't want her to change the rest of that.
