Big Bird: Hmm, where do you think Mr. Chase is?
Mr. Snuffleupagus: I don't know. But I've got an idea.
Big Bird: What?
Mr. Snuffleupagus: I'll look for him that way (points his snuffle past Big Bird's nest), and you'll look for him this way! (points snuffle past Hooper's Store)
Big Bird: What a brialliant idea!
(they both leave, and as soon as both are out of sight, Chevy Chase, Gordon, and Susan all enter out of the doors)

Super Grover: Oh, yes, except for my head and chest.
(Bruno carries Oscar to the cast)
Oscar: Well, that's what I like about you, Grover, your chrashing. (makes nasty laugh)
Super Grover: I do not see what is so funny.

[minor muppetz]

I wonder if during Chevy Chase's introduction for his cameo, it should have gone like this...

"This movie features many celelbrity cameos. Joe Flaherty and Dave Thomas play the bad guys, and there are also cameos by John Candy, Sandra Bernhard, and Wayland Jennings. Oh, yeah, and I also make a cameo."

I wanted to include a clip with the Sleaze brothers, onyl I couldn't think of a good clip to include (most of their scenes are good, but I wanted somethign good enough for a "sneak peek"). And now I think that I should have included that scene where they use a net to try to get Big Bird.
