Kermit: (struggling under the weight of a trunk) Um, a little help here, please?
Ru: (muffled behind a stack of hat boxes) I think I can open the door with my teeth and then hold it with my foot while I--
Kermit: Piggy? Sweetheart?
Piggy: (looking at her PDA and answering distractedly) Yes, Mon Capitan. Moi is here.
Kermit: Piggy, could you get the door for us? We're trying to get everything into the rooms.
Piggy: But of course, Mon Capitan. How silly of me not to have noticed.
(She steps forward and rings the doorbell. Kermit and Ru exchange glances.)
Piggy: There you go, Dear One. And please be careful with my hat boxes, Ru--I am going to need to look fabulous tonight.
Ru: Piggy--I think we were thinking more along the lines of opening the door for--
(The door opens slowly and a small whatnot muppet edges out, holding it open for the beleaguered roomies.)
Kermit: (calling over his shoulder) Thanks! Thanks a bunch! Here we go!
Ru: Hats on the way up.
Piggy: (still oblivious) I'm so glad to hear it. I think I shall wear my peach chiffon number tonight to the film festival.
(Ru looks at Kermit quizzically and mouths "Film Festival?" Kermit looks blank for a moment and then groans.)
Kermit: The student film festival! Sheesh! I almost forgot! I told Piggy I'd take her to the opening once we...er...once we got everything unpacked.
Piggy: And I'm so glad we made it on time, too. I was worried when the moving van was so late.
Ru: (sighing) You'd better go shower, then, Kermit. I'll finish unpacking the rent-a-truck myself.
Kermit: (Finally trudging up the last steps) Really? I--that'd be swell. (sotto voce) We haven't made the premiere of anything on time in the last 12 years.
Piggy: What was that?
Kermit: Nothing--I was just saying how long it has been since I took to something this special.
Piggy: (still lost in the PDA) Vous are so sweet. I won't be more than an hour getting ready.
(Kermit and Ru exchange looks again.)
Kermit: Um, a few more boxes then. (smiling his lopsided smile) It's good to be getting settled.
Ru: Yes--it certainly is.
