- Pops: Oh, who're you?
- Gladys Knight: I'm the guest on The Muppet Show this week. I'm Gladys Knight.
- Pops: Yeah, me, too. I'm always glad it's night, it's too hot during the day.
- [laughs]
- Pops: Oh, I hope you didn't mind that.
- Gladys Knight: It's okay. I allow one per show.
- Gladys Knight: Oh, that's a nice blues, Rowlf.
- Rowlf: Mmm. It's easy to have the blues when you don't have a roof over your head.
- Kermit the Frog: Okay, well folks, it's time now to meet our very special guest. So, here she is putting the show on the right track and choo-choo'ing into your station, let's say "all aboard" as we stop, look, and listen to Miss Gladys Knight, yaaay!
- Fozzie Bear: Oh, boy. Look at this. Oh, Scooter, Scooter. Do you think there's room for my monologue in the show?
- Scooter: Oh, afraid not, Foz. Uh, but you can be in the next number. Yeah, Signor Baffi's assistant didn't show up.
- Fozzie Bear: Oh, terrific. You won't be sorry. What do I do?
- Scooter: Well, uh, can you go out and stand on stage and smile?
- Fozzie Bear: Can I! Can a fly bird?
- Scooter: And now, the act you've all been waiting for: the one and only Signor Baffi and his flashing knives of death!
