Waldorf: Why is that?

Statler: To keep me from sleeping through this show.

Both: Dohohohoho!

Miss Piggy and Floyd enter, bickering.

Kermit: Oh no...not again. -to the bickering Miss Piggy and Floyd- STOP IT!!! Now, Floyd, Piggy, what's the matter this?

Miss Piggy: Floyd lied to me, Kermit! This isn't coffee!

Floyd: Get a grip, woman, it's just a number!

Miss Piggy: It's WATER! HOT WATER!

Floyd: So what? Hot water....you need it with coffee, Piggylocks. -laughs-

Miss Piggy throws the water at Floyd.

Floyd: -angrily blinks- That.....burned. -walks off-

Miss Piggy: Kermie, I want that Beatles Wannabe fired! FIRED! Moi has been FED UP with him and his snarky comments.

Miss Piggy: Don't push it, frog. -leaves-

Both: Dohohohohoho!

BACKSTAGE:

Kermit: Excellent job out there, Michele.

Michele: Thank you, Kermit. -to Geri and the Atrics vocalist- Hey, is there anything I can do for you, kindly lady?

Fozzie: -rushes over to Kermit- Hey, Kermit! Kermit!

Kermit: Yes, Fozzie?

Fozzie: Will sign this petition?

Kermit: YOU wrote a petition? For what?

Fozzie: Not me, silly. Floyd wrote a petition to convince the producers to fire Miss Piggy.

Kermit: -gasp- Fozzie, I thought I was the producer of this show.

Fozzie: You are? Since when?

Gonzo: -rushes over to Kermit- Hey, Kermit! Will you sign this petition?

Kermit: Don't tell me....

Fozzie: You can tell me, Gonzo. What is it for?

Gonzo: Miss Piggy wrote a petition to convince the producers to fire Floyd.

Kermit: I knew it....

Random Business Whatnot (from the Opening Number): Dearest good sir, will you sign my..............

Kermit: NO!

MUPPET LABS: Bunsen invents a remote control operated parrot that repeats back every word either him or Beaker say. Unfortunately, when Beaker says "Mee mo mo mee mee (I am an idiot)", the parrot replies "You are an idiot."

UK SKETCH: NEWSFLASH:
Newsman: Here's a Muppet News Flash! The world's most ugliest surfer has just broken the record for the world's ugliest person to have absolutely no occupation whatsoever. That record was previously broken by a Mr. Harry Foot, whom had the occupation of being a bum walking the streets of Kentucky.

Mr. Harry Foot then approaches The Newsman and knocks him out with his bag.

Mr. Harry Foot: -with a British accent- Loose to a bumbling surfer? Never, my good sir.

Michele is putting her makeup on when there's a knock on the door.

Michele: Come in.

Floyd and Miss Piggy enter at the same time.

Floyd and Miss Piggy: MICHELE! MICHELE! MICHELE! MICHELE!

Michele: One at a time, one at a time.

Miss Piggy: Ha! Moi got here first.

Floyd: That's 'cause you were running too slow. I, on the over hand, was walkin' fast.

Michele: Is this about your stupid petitions to get each other fired?

Floyd and Miss Piggy: Yes! I mean....no!

Michele: Have some maturity, you two. I mean, c'mon, a petition?

Miss Piggy: Better than fighting, must vous agree, Michele?

Michele: Yes, I do agree, Miss Piggy.

Miss Piggy: Of course, if we did fight, I'd CRUSH Floyd.

Floyd: You're only sayin' that.....

Miss Piggy: Ah ah ah, boys don't hit girls......chicken.

Floyd: Look who's talkin, you hog.

Miss Piggy: OH YEAH?!!??!?!!

Michele: Okay, break it up! You two are acting like a married couple right now.

Miss Piggy and Floyd: Marry him/her!?!?

Michele: Guys, you two shouldn't be fighting over something like this. Are you two friends at all?

Miss Piggy and Floyd: No!

Michele: Really?

Miss Piggy and Floyd: Yeah....kinda.

Miss Piggy: Well....Floyd did help moi give advice for writing angry fan letters.

Floyd: Yeah, and they all kept their mouths shut after those letters. And Piggy here did help make arrangements for me and my main squeeze to get into that fancy Italian restaurant just a few months ago.

Miss Piggy: Moi never asked you, but how was it?

Floyd: Let's just say.......Lady and The Tramp would be proud of us.

Michele: See you two are getting along much better now than before. Do you forgive each other now for everything that's happened?

Miss Piggy: -sigh- Yes. Moi forgives you, Floyd.

Floyd: And...I forgive you, too, Piggy.

Miss Piggy: Oh forget that silly petition, mon capitan. Moi and Floyd...made up!

Kermit: Really?

Floyd: She said it, Green Stuff. The rivalry between me and Miss Piggy have come to a close.

Kermit: Oh thank goodness.

Floyd: All you gotta do now, man, is sit back, relax......and sign this document stating that "Me and Miss Piggy shall prevent any further arguments from this moment on."

Kermit: Yeesh. So many documents on this show tonight. -signs document- There, now I gotta go introduce Michele for her final number. -leaves-

Scooter: Apple siding, of course.

Ann-Margret: Apple siding? What's that?

The tree then gives Ann-Margret a glass of apple cider.

Ann-Margret: Now I gotta get an apple siding tree.

THEME SONG
TRUMPET GAG: Gonzo is unaware that he's using Zoot's saxophone. Zoot then comes up and returns Gonzo his trumpet.

Audience: Ooooooh.

Kermit: Yes. That Ann-Margret, ladies and gentlemen.

Anne Margaret (an old lady/ possibly a member of Geri and the Atrics) comes onto the stage.

Anne Margaret: What about me, sonny? My name is Anne Margaret, too.

Kermit: But you're Anne Margaret, not Ann-Margret.

Dr. Teeth: Absolutely we did, my friend!

Zoot: I didn't hear any lions.

Animal: TUTTI FRUTTI! TUTTI FRUTTI!

Sam: Ugh, this repulsive yelling.

Kermit: Oh, Sam! You've returned early from your vacation in Philadelphia. How was it?

Sam: Sick and weird....it wasn't like it used to be. Calm and peaceful and patriotic....now it's infested with weirdos like yourselves.

Kermit: Oh.

Sam: And I specifically request a patriotic closing number for tonight's show.

Kermit: I wish I could do that, Sam, but I promised Ann-Margret the closing number.

Sam: Anne Margaret?

Kermit: Yeah. Ann-Margret.

Sam: Oh...well that's perfectly fine. She is a very patriotic lady like herself.

Kermit: I'm sure she is, Sam.

Sam: In fact, I've known Anne Margaret for years.

Kermit: YOU know Ann-Margret?

Sam: Of course. We used to talk about politics all the time in the community center.

Kermit: Ummm....and how long ago was this?

Sam: Years ago, Kermit. Years ago.

Kermit: Now listen, I have to go introduce Ann-Margret for her first number.

Statler: The right thing she should do is leave now!

Both: Dohohohohoho

BACKSTAGE:

Kermit: Excellent job out there, Ann-Margret.

Ann-Margret: Thank you, Kermit.

Sam: What did I just watch?

Kermit: Ann-Margret, Sam.

Sam: But YOU, sir, said Anne Margaret. This, my good man, is NOT Anne Margaret.

Ann-Margret: But, Sam, I AM Ann-Margret.

Sam: You are not Anne Margaret! You are an abomination to America, with their sultry blues numbers and tight dresses. Humph!

Ann-Margret: Did you have any idea what he just said, Kermit?

Kermit: Do you want me to get Miss Piggy to karate chop him?

Ann-Margret: It's fine.

Miss Piggy: Bonjour, Ann-Margret!

Ann-Margret: Hello, Miss Piggy. Oh, you look absolutely ravishing tonight.

Miss Piggy: Awww, merci bocoup, Ann-Margret. Listen, moi happened to hear about your situation with Sam.

Ann-Margret: Yeah. Is there really another woman named "Anne Margaret" on this show?

Miss Piggy: Unfortunately yes, and she's not the brightest "Anne Margaret" either.

Ann-Margret: What is she? A showgirl? A monster? A pig?

Miss Piggy: Ahem. Moi is the only pig female on this show.

Ann-Margret: What about Annie Sue? She's a pig, and she's female.

Miss Piggy: Oh forget her. She's not worthy enough to meet a super celebrity like yourself.

Ann-Margret: But what about "Anne Margaret?"

Miss Piggy: What about vous, Ann-Margret?

Ann-Margret: I really have to meet this "Anne Margaret" woman. And fast.

Miss Piggy: Why's that?

Ann-Margret: So I can prove that I'm the only here.

MUSICAL NUMBER: I'm Still Here (from "Follies"), sung by Ann-Margret and Miss Piggy

SWEDISH CHEF: Anne Margaret (the old lady) assists The Swedish Chef, but says he's doing everything wrong.

BACKSTAGE:

Sam: Ahhh. Now with that abomination who calls herself "Anne Margaret" has gone, we shall now continue with Anne Margaret's patriotic closing number.

Kermit: Well....I guess. I mean, I did promise it to you.

Anne Margaret: I'm doing a number?

Sam: Yes, you are, Anne. Now go! Go! Go onstage! -Anne Margaret goes onstage-

Kermit: Oh where's Ann-Margret?

Sam: Onstage.

Kermit: Now I mean..."Ann-Margret." "Viva Las Vegas," "Bye Bye Birdie," you've never heard of Ann-Margret, Sam?

Sam: I do not know of this other Ann-Margret you speak of.

Kermit: SHE'S OUR GUEST STAR!!!!!!

Sam: Yelling is something I will NOT tolerate. Introduce the closing number.

Kermit: I will! -goes onstage-

GOODNIGHTS:

Kermit: Well folks, I think tonight was a VERY confusing night for a lot of us, if you know what I mean. But before we go, let us say thank you to our guest star, ladies and gentlemen, the REAL Ann-Margret! YAAAAAAAAAY!

Ann-Margret: Kermit, thank you so much. I hope no there was real confusion on tonight's show.

Kermit: As long as there's no two Kermits, we're perfectly safe, Ann-Margret.

Karmit (a random old frog): Wait....my name is Kermit.

Ann-Margret: Oh no......not again.

Kermit: Uhhh, we'll see you next time on The Muppet Show!
