I'll bet the nervous piggy was trying extra hard to convince himself of that, too!

Lol, so true, so true. How they couldn't consider possible goat involvement is beyond me! :wink: At least they sure learned from that, though!

Took their new found knowledge with them to the grave.

Oh wait. Muppets cannot die can they?
Well they rested and recuperated at the bottom of the mountain and were all the wiser for their experiences when they "rose from the dead". :wink:

Lol, oh yeah. Took their newfound knowledge to their rest and recuperation, I guess you mean, then! :wink:
That sure is great that they came out so knowledgable. Who knew this experience of theirs would be so educational for them!

Evil goats are by far the best teachers concerning mountains. Even though they are a little rough. :wink:

Lol, you're not kidding. The piggies never would've learned to seriously watch their step or have goat repellent perfume in their jet-propelled knapsacks if the goats hadn't been there to teach 'em! :wink:

And speaking about the female piggies again I thought as a new discussion topic I'd mention a thought I had regarding the script I wrote.

I was wondering if a slight change in the dialogue could be made after the first lady piggy falls to her death. Perhaps the line "Oooohh. Watch your step" could be changed to "Ooooohh. Mind your step".
Well it does sound different. What do you think my friends? Which line do you prefer?

That is interesting, Marty. And you're right, it does sound quite different.

The first thing that came to my mind was that "Mind your step" is not very commonly said at all, so while it might be kind of cool to have something like that in the sketch, it does seem a bit unnatural to say. Also, I do think saying "Watch your step" sounds a little bit more caring. To me, the word "watch" is a little bit of a stronger word so it would make a bit more of an impact. Like saying "mind your step" seems like something you'd say if the situation were smaller (like, if there was something on the ground you'd want your friend to notice and maybe walk around to avoid, like a puddle or something) while saying "watch your step" sounds a bit more nurturing. ... Even though technically, no matter what word you say, you're saying the same thing, I do think "Watch your step" is the best choice! :smile:

But that's just my weird opinion, hehe. I'd be interested in hearing others' opinions as well!
