Quotes
-
Fozzie Bear : Hey, did you know that George the Janitor is so cheap that his wallet has an unlisted pocket? Am I too hip for the room?

Miss Piggy : Scooter, Scooter? Oh, dear nephew of the theater owner?
Scooter : Well, yes, Miss Piggy?
Miss Piggy : Would you do Miss Piggy a favor?
Scooter : Oh, sure. Why not?
Miss Piggy : Ahem. Well, you may have noticed, I have given my love to Kermit. You may also have noticed his reluctance in returning same.
Scooter : Oh, so you want me to get your love from Kermit and give it back to you. Oh, okay, where does he keep it?
Miss Piggy : Amusing little twit, isn't he? NO, BONEHEAD! I WANT YOU TO MAKE HIM JEALOUS!
Scooter : Ah, I see.
Miss Piggy : I want you to tell him that Avery Schreiber is simply mad about me.
Scooter : Oh, you want me to lie.
Miss Piggy : Just do it.
Scooter : And if I refuse?
Miss Piggy : Well, then I will karate chop you until the only thing you'll be able to go for... IS DOWN FOR THE COUNT!
Scooter : Uh, one jealous frog coming up.

Avery Schreiber : [after tricking Kermit] Just like I said. It worked, didn't it?
Miss Piggy : Yes! Yes! He really loves me. Oh, thank you so much. How about a smacker right on these porker lips, hmm? Kissy, kissy.
Avery Schreiber : Well, I-I... Now, don't... don't... don't take it personally, now, I can't kiss you. You see, I mean no offense, but my... my family never even touched a pig, much less put their lips to one.
Miss Piggy : Well, put your lips to THIS! Hiii-ya!
[karate-chops Avery]

Miss Piggy : Aw, Kermit, my love, my life, I am sorry if Avery made you jealous.
Kermit the Frog : Uh, Fozzie Bear, stand by!
Scooter : Fozzie Bear, stand by!
Miss Piggy : Well, you are jealous, aren't you?
Scooter : Fozzie, stand by!
Kermit the Frog : Uh, no, I'm not.
Miss Piggy : But why?
Scooter : Uh, Fozzie, stand by!
Kermit the Frog : Well, Scooter told me it was all a trick.
Miss Piggy : Scooter, stand by! Hiii-ya!

Kermit the Frog : Well, that's it for tonight. We'd like to thank our very special guest star Mr. Avery Schreiber.
Avery Schreiber : Thank you, Kermit, thank you. Listen, it was a ball. I hope I didn't get you upset. Boy, Miss Piggy has a bad temper, doesn't she, huh?
Kermit the Frog : Aw, listen, don't worry, I can handle Miss Piggy. You know, she's just putty in my hands. I say "Jump", she says "How high?" I crack the whip, she jumps through the hoop.
Miss Piggy : [suddenly appears] You open your mouth, my fist goes south. Hiii-ya!
[karate-chops Kermit]
Avery Schreiber : Gee, I love to see a man in control, Kermit.
Kermit the Frog : [weakly] We'll see you all next time on The Muppet Show.
[Piggy karate-chops Kermit again]
