NEWS FLASH:
Newsman: Here's a Muppet News Flash! "Witches have been popping up all over Even Eye County in Kansas, causing such mayhem as whipping up tornadoes, eating little children by luring them into candy houses, turning the governor into a frog, and offering poisonous apples to the citizens at the farmer's market. If anyone has any information about these witches, please call......"

Witch (disguised as an old hag): Excuse me, sir, but would you like an apple?

Newsman: Why certainly, old lady I've never seen before in my entire life. -eats apple and faints-

Witch: Ha ha. What a buffoon.

The witch in that sketch should be Taminella Grinderfall, in my opinion.

BALCONY:

Statler: Huh. No wonder the pig couldn't catch up.

Waldorf: How come?

Statler: She wasn't born to run!

Both: Dohohohoho!

BACKSTAGE:

Bruce is carrying on the exhausted Miss Piggy in his arms.

Kermit: Bruce, is Piggy alright?

Bruce: Yeah, she'll be alright. She just wasn't used to all that running. She's not born to run like I am.

Kermit: But she's born to attack.

Bruce: You have a point there, Kermit. -goes off with Miss Piggy-

Fozzie: -comes on with a saxophone- Kermit! I found my musical talent!

Kermit: Fozzie, you can play saxophone?

Fozzie: Uhhh....of course! -plays saxophone badly-

Zoot then comes on, takes the saxophone from Fozzie, and then leaves.

Bruce: Come in.

Enter Fozzie

Fozzie: Oh, it's hopeless.

Bruce: What's hopeless, Fozzie?

Fozzie: Finding my musical talent. I wanna be a great musician, like you, Mr. Springsteen.

Bruce: But, Fozzie, what about your talent of telling jokes?

Fozzie: Well.....if being a musician doesn't get me heckled by the two old guys every night.....

Bruce: Fozzie, Fozzie. Talent isn't about trying to make someone else happy. It's about doing what you love best. And what you love doing best is telling jokes, right?

Fozzie: Right.

Bruce: There you go. Now let me tell you something.

MUSICAL NUMBER: Thank You For The Music, sung by Bruce, Fozzie, and other Muppets that join later on.

PIGS IN SPACE: Captain Link Hogthrob and Dr. Julius Strangepork finally wake up the passed out First Mate Piggy (whom was exhausted since Born To Run) using an electric ray gun, that ruins her hair. First Mate Piggy then karate chops Captain Link Hogthrob off the stage.

Statler: Just what the pig needed!

Waldorf: What?

Statler: A static wake up call!

Both: Dohohohohoho!

BACKSTAGE:

Miss Piggy: -still looking for Link- OKAY! WHERE IS HE!?!? WHERE'S THAT LITTLE HOG!?!! WHY I'M GONNA RIP HIM A NEW ONE ALRIGHT!!!!! -goes off-

Kermit: Maybe I should stay away from Piggy for a while until she calms down.

Fozzie: -comes rushing in- Kermit! Kermit! I've changed my mind.

Kermit: About.....

Fozzie: Finding my musical talent. I already have it!

Kermit: Oh good.

Fozzie: Yeah. It's always right inside me whenever I go out and tell my jokes. Thank you, music!

Kermit: And the music thanks you, Fozzie. -Fozzie goes off-

Bruce: -comes on- Hey, Kermit.....

Kermit: Oh, hey, Bruce. What's the matter?

END
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow.....I haven't done an outline in forever. I did this with a headache, too. This outline is alright, although I did like the part where I added Clarence Clemmons in. (R.I.P Clarence). I hope you all enjoyed this outline! There will be more to come!

 

[Piggy The Frog]

Poor Piggy... She's exhausted, then Link ruins her hair! I loved the whole thing, especially Fozzie and the saxophone.

R.I.P. Clarence Clemmons.

 

[Twisted Tails]

This is way so cool, MissMusical12. I can rest to assure you that Miss Piggy is born to attack or even karate chop.

Fozzie... okay so he isn't a musican, but he sings and tells jokes.

I wish I was born to run like Bruce.

 

[LipsGF4Life]

I love it!

 

[MissMusical12]

I love it!

I figured you would like this one, since this was the perfect one to include Zoot in.
