Olivia: I'm Olivia Newton-John. I'm your guest star on The Muppet Show tonight.

Kermit: What do you mean, Gonzo?
Gonzo: I want some of it.
Kermit: Some of what?
Gonzo: Whatever Floyd's having.
Kermit: Gonzo, did you poison Floyd!?!?
Gonzo: Nope. He's been going gaga since you said Olivia Newton John was going to be on the show.
Kermit: Oh?
Gonzo: Yeah, he might as well be the president of her fan club. -laughs and goes off-
Kermit: Floyd! Floyd!
Floyd: -humming "Hopelessly Devoted To You", ignoring Kermit-
Kermit: FLOYD!
Floyd: Huh? What? Oh, hey my little green amigo. What's up?
Kermit: Gonzo just told me your lovesick.
Floyd: Lovesick? Me? Ha! Gonzo doesn't even know what he's doing or saying half the time.
Olivia: -comes out of dressing room- Oh, Kermit.
Floyd faints at the sight of Olivia. Olivia then rushes over to where Kermit is and where Floyd fainted.
Olivia: Is he alright?
Kermit: Yeah. He's just lovesick.
Olivia: Lovesick?
Kermit: It's a term we use around here meaning "overly in love to the point where your throwing up and fainting in front of people." For Floyd...he faints.
Olivia: Has he always been like that?
Kermit: Nope. Not since I told everyone you're going to be on the show.
Olivia: Oh.
Kermit: Hey, listen. Are you ready for your number, Olivia?
Olivia: Ready whenever you are.
Kermit: Oh good. At least someone isn't sick around here. -Olivia goes on stage-
Floyd: -wakes up from his faint- Ohhhhh. Man what just happened?

Greased Lightning, but the Greaser whatnot soon escapes from Patrol Bear and the Chief being too caught up in the song.
UK SKETCH: NEWSFLASH:
Newsman: Here's a Muppet Newsflash! Dentists have been cracking down on their candy eating policies! They have now officially decided to pull all the teeth of those who have eaten any sort of candy, chocolate, taffy and tapioca in the past 12 hours when notified quick enough.
A dentist whatnot sneaks up behind the Newsman.

Newsman: AAAAAAAAAH!!!!!
BACKSTAGE:
Floyd is gazing at his signed photo of Olivia Newton-John in Grease.
Floyd: Oh, Olivia. I'm helpless without ya, babe.
Kermit and Gonzo are watching over at him.
Gonzo: Yeesh. I was never like that when Madeline Kahn came here. Kermit, I tell you, it's the lovesickness. It spreads real easily.
Kermit: Who had it last week?
Gonzo: Ummmm....remember that one girl Floyd signed an autograph for last week?
Kermit: Yeah.
Gonzo: She was lovesick with him. That's how he must've caught it. From the fan.
Kermit: How long does this lovesickness last till?
Gonzo: How should I know? I'm not a doctor. Ask someone who is. -goes off-
Kermit: -goes over to Floyd- Floyd, are you feeling okay?
Floyd: Never better, my amphibian friend.
Kermit: Well you seemed to be quite uhhh.....in love, there.
Floyd: -sigh- Olivia....
Kermit: Hey, what about your girlfriend?
Floyd: What girlfriend? I never had a girlfriend. -goes off to Olivia's dressing room-
Kermit: Yeesh. Good thing Janice is away this week.....or she'd rip one on him....
Zoot: -passing by- Big time.
BACKSTAGE (Olivia's Dressing Room):
Olivia is reading in her dressing room when there's a knock on the door.
Olivia: Kermit? Is that you?
Floyd enters.
Olivia: -not amused- Oh no. It's Romeo.
Floyd: It's actually Floyd, but who's counting?
Olivia: By all means, I could care less even if your name was Mud.
Floyd: -flirtaciously-You clever woman. -laughs-
Olivia: I didn't mean that as a compliment.
Floyd: Then you're gonna love this! Rowlf, get in here!
Rowlf: -pushing his piano into the dressing room- I'm doing the best I can, Floyd! I'm only one dog! I don't have nine lives like a cat.
Olivia: What...what is this all about?
Floyd: You good, Rowlf?
Rowlf: Whenever you are. -starts playing-
Floyd: I dedicate this one to you, Olivia.
MUSICAL NUMBER: I Honestly Love You, sung by Floyd serenading Olivia, accompanied by Rowlf. Olivia keeps making excuses throughout the song for Floyd to go away such as "I don't think I wanna know," "I honestly don't," and "Didn't Kermit say you had a girlfriend?"
PIGS IN SPACE: A drill sargent pig arrives on the Swinetrek and thinks automatically he's in charge (He even makes Captain Link Hogthrob do 500 push ups, which he can't even do one.) until First Mate Piggy karate chops the Drill Sargent Pig.
BALCONY:
Statler: Boy does this show not know how to take charge like him.
Waldorf: If he was the host of this show, this show would be called "M*A*S*H*E*D Potatoes!"
Both: Dohohohohoho
BACKSTAGE:
Miss Piggy is still hitting the drill sargent pig.
Drill Sargent Pig: OW! OW! OW! OW!
Miss Piggy: -hitting him- NO ONE EVER BOSSES MOI AROUND! YOU TAKE BACK WHAT YOU JUST SAID!!!
Kermit: Good grief.
Scooter: Hey, Kermit, I found that Lovesick Antidote Dr. Bunsen Honeydew whipped up a few months ago. Do you think it'll cure Floyd of his obsessive love for Olivia?
Kermit: Scooter, at this point, anything's worth a shot.
Gonzo: Hold on a second!
Scooter: What's the matter, Gonzo?
Gonzo: Forget the antidote, I found an easier cure for him.
Kermit: Oh good. What does Floyd have to do?
Gonzo: He has to.......
Olivia: -in worry and rushing out of her dressing room- Kermit!
Kermit: Olivia, what's the matter?
Olivia: It's Floyd again. He wants to the last number with me DESPERATELY!
Gonzo: Oh come, Olivia. Your last number can't be that bad to do with him. He can do anything.
Kermit: -checks clipboard but then gasps-
Scooter: What's the matter, chief?
Kermit: I don't think Olivia's going to like this....
Olivia: What's the matter, Kermit?
Kermit: Your last number is.......-gulp-......"You're The One That I Want."
Olivia: -gasp- You wouldn't!
Kermit: Well...I kinda was supposed to do the last number with you, but I guess Floyd might have to do it now....because of his condition.
Floyd: -rushes over- Did I hear you're doing "You're The One That I Want" as the closing number?
Olivia: Unfortunately. -Floyd holds on to Olivia- -to Kermit- Introduce us, already. -goes onstage with Floyd-
INTRODUCTION:
Kermit: And now, ladies and gentlemen, here to sing that rousing duet from "Grease," our very own, currently lovesick Floyd Pepper and our very special guest star, Miss Olivia Newton-John! YAAAAAAAY!!!!!!
MUSICAL NUMBER: You're The One That I Want (from Grease), sung by Olivia and Floyd. Towards the end of the song, a "fed up with Floyd" Olivia knocks Floyd out.
GOODNIGHTS:
Kermit: Well folks, I guess we've all learned a valuable lesson tonight. Don't ever fall in love with anyone who'll knock you out in the end.
Gonzo: -rushes onstage- Hey, Kermit! Great news! Floyd's not lovesick anymore!
Kermit: That's terrific! What cured him?
Floyd: -comes onstage, with an ice pack- A blow to the face from Olivia Newton-John. Good thing my main squeeze wasn't here to see what happened tonight. And let me say right now, Jan, despite everything that happened tonight, let me just say....I HONESTLY Love YOU....not Olivia Newton-John.
Kermit: And speaking of her, let us now thank our very special guest star, Miss Olivia Newton-John! Yaaaaay!
Olivia: -comes onstage- Thank you, Kermit. -to Floyd- I'm glad you're feeling a lot better, Floyd. I'm sorry for knocking you out earlier.
Floyd: Hey no big, Olivia. At least I'm not lovesick anymore.
Olivia: Well...who is?
Link Hogthrob: -comes onstage, infected with lovesickness. singing-
Hopelessly devoted to you.....
Olivia: Oh no.....here we go again....
Kermit: Umm...we'll see you next time on The Muppet Show!
