Quotes 

• [everyone prepares to help Nanny make a "Garage Sale" sign] 

  Nanny : What's the matter, Piggy?

  Piggy : Well, I... I, uh... Well, I never got to finish my show.

  Kermit : Gosh, Piggy. Well, why don't you just tell us how it ends?

  Piggy : Can I?

  Kids : Sure!

  Fozzie : Why not?

  Animal : Me listen.

  Piggy : Okay, here goes.

  [takes a deep breath and talks rapidly] 

  Piggy : I land on the ground and I'm safe, but I get hit in the head, forget who I am, and I lose my job. Oh, and all my hair falls out, but, um, I get a new job at a nightclub and Kermit is there and as soon as I see him, I know who I am, but he doesn't. So he runs away and... and I have to go find him and then I do and we go to Miami and we talk to each other and then we get married and they make me a star and we live happily ever after. Oh, and all my hair grows back. The end. How'd you like it?

  [Kermit and the other kids stare, clearly unimpressed] 

  Kermit : Good show, Piggy. We go to Miami? Sheesh.

• Fozzie : [while eating his Floppy Flakes cereal]  When it comes to flops and flakes, I'm an expert. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

  Piggy : I couldn't have said it better myself.

• Rowlf : [after Nanny walks in with some old materials]  Gee, wonder what all that stuff is for.

  Fozzie : What stuff?

  Rowlf : That old tire, the fake flamingo, the ball, and the crutches.

  Fozzie : Well, maybe her flamingo sprained his ankle changing a flat tire on his way to play soccer.

  Kids : Fozzie!

  Fozzie : Water polo?

• Scooter : Hey, I know. Maybe Nanny's taking up flamingo polo.

  Kids : What?

  Scooter : Sure. Flamingo polo is a great game.

  [starts daydreaming] 

  Scooter : The players ride on flamingos and try to hit a soccer ball through a spare tire. Olé!

  [dances around as his fantasy ends] 

  Rowlf : I think you've been hanging around Gonzo too long, Scooter.
