Quotes 

• Bean Bunny : Everybody's gone, Nanny.

  Kermit : I know, Bean. They're building the Transcontinental Railroad.

  Bean Bunny : They are?

  Kermit : Uh-huh, and you can help, too.

  Bean Bunny : I can?

  Kermit : [gives Bean a wagon]  Yup. You can drive the supply wagon. Here. Take this peanut butter to Uncle Statler in Sacramento.

  Bean Bunny : What?

  Kermit : And then take this jelly to Uncle Waldorf in St. Louis. Okay?

  Bean Bunny : Uh, sure thing, Nanny. Guess I'll be seeing you about Easter, huh?

• Statler : Kermit, you and Fozzie start laying tracks. And, Piggy, you and Rowlf get the train ready.

  [Kermit starts carrying the heavy rail, but notices Fozzie isn't helping] 

  Kermit : What's the matter, Fozzie?

  Fozzie : Uncle Statler didn't say "Simon says."

  Kermit : Oh, boy. Simon says let's go.

  Fozzie : Okay.

• Kermit : Which way we going, Uncle Statler?

  Statler : That way, son. East.

  [the kids look to their left and see Nanny's chair] 

  Fozzie : That doesn't look so bad.

  Piggy : [wiping her face]  Yeah. All we have to do is move some of that furniture.

  Statler : Furniture? Look again, girl. Why, those are the High Sierras, toughest mountain range in the world.

  Piggy : Oh, I knew that.

  [the kids now see the High Sierras and are amazed] 

  Fozzie : Boy, Nanny's not going to be happy about this. She really liked that chair.

• Kermit : [while tunneling through the mountain]  Whew! Going through this mountain... is even harder than going over it.

  [lifts a load of dirt] 

  Kermit : Here, Rowlf.

  Rowlf : [takes the load from Kermit]  Ugh, that's for sure. Here, Piggy.

  Piggy : [takes the load from Rowlf]  Ugh, whew! I'll say. Here, Fozzie.

  [Fozzie doesn't take the dirt and Piggy falls over] 

  Piggy : Ooooh!

  Fozzie : You didn't say "Simon says."

  [laughs] 

  Piggy : Can you believe this?

• Scooter : Which way do we go now, Uncle Waldorf?

  Waldorf : Well, hard to tell, son. Map stops right about here.

  Skeeter : Um, maybe we should ask this guy.

  [Animal appears before Waldorf's group as an Indian chief] 

  Scooter , Waldorf : Huh?

  Skeeter : He looks like he knows his way around.

  Waldorf : I'll bet he does, too. Indians were the first real Americans, you know. This land belonged to them before anyone else.

• Scooter : [to Gonzo]  Just ask him the shortest way to the kitchen, would ya? I'm starved.

  Animal : Ooh, me show way! Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya!

  [Animal rides off on his horse with the group following him, then stops] 

  Animal : That shortest way.

  [everyone looks on in shock as they see a huge canyon] 

  Skeeter : Gee, maybe we should ask him for the second shortest way.

  Gonzo : Right. Uh, Mr. Chief, sir.

  [Animal has disappeared] 

  Gonzo : Oh, boy.

  Skeeter : He's gone.

  Waldorf : That's okay. We'll do what the original railroad men did.

  Gonzo : Order a pizza?

  Waldorf : Nope. Build a bridge.

  Gonzo : Oh, that was gonna be my next guess.

• Skeeter : [while hang gliding]  I love doing stuff like this.

  [giggles, then crashes] 

  Skeeter : Hey, what do you want? I'm just a kid, you know.

• [Bean, after just riding through a creepy forest, delivered the jelly to Waldorf's group, then rode off] 

  Skeeter : What's wrong with him?

  Waldorf : Kids, before the railroads, getting stuff around the country was pretty scary business.

  Bean Bunny : [chuckles nervously]  You don't know the half of it.

• Statler : Attaboy, Kermit! Keep going, Fozzie!

  Fozzie : [stops working]  Huh?

  Everyone : SIMON SAYS!

  Fozzie : That's better. Ha ha ha ha ha!

  Kermit : Sheesh.

  Rowlf : Brother.

  Statler : [about Fozzie]  How long has he been like this?

• Nanny : [while watching Statler and Waldorf play with the trains]  My goodness! It's getting hard to tell the children from the grown-ups around here.

  Kermit : No, it isn't, Nanny. We're the kids. The little ones, remember?
