Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: Right, okay...one raspberry, one orange and a mint chip. (goes to freezer to dish up ice cream)
Erin: Did you want anything else, Scooter?
Scooter: No, thanks.
Erin: Okay, then, just settle back and make yourself comfortable.
Scooter: (doing so) Okay.
Storyteller: (looks up) I think that's Sal Manilla I hear.
Beige: (finishing last bit of raspberry ripple) That soup must be awfully popular - hope Ed and the Count made a large enough batch.
Storyteller: But considering some of the appetites in this dorm...
Beige: My mother could make a Doozer stick soup that would make Fraggles salivate from ten miles off.
Nora: (entering with ice cream) Kathy? Rosita? Prairie? Ice cream's up.

Clifford: Hey hey Ry-guy!
Ryan: Oh hey Cliff, what's up?
Clifford: Was just about to ask you the same thing.
Ryan: Oh?
Clifford: Yup.
Ryan: Cool.
Clifford: So... what's up?
Ryan: Not much.
Clifford: Cool, man.
Ryan: Uh huh. ...So what's up with you?
Clifford: Not much.
Ryan: Awesome.
Clifford: Yup.
Ryan: I'm glad we had this talk.
Clifford: Anytime, man, anytime.

 

[The Count]

Uh-oh... Sounds like Prawny's skipped a groove again. Uncle Deadly, you'd best get up there and give the lad a pert little shock to get him back to his senses... Not to mention posting the next ten Muppets in the countdown.
UD: Fright, be back in two shakes of a salamander's tail.
Count is occupied serving and counting five bowls of soup with some garlic breadsticks for Sal to take upstairs to Room #17.

Mmmmm.....thanks!
Prairie:This is very refreshing! Thank you.
Rosita:Ahhh...hits the spot!Muchas gracias!That means thank you in Spanish.

Gonzo: *sitting on the couch watching TV with Camilla*
Ryan: *comes stumbling out of bedroom, charred* *coughs*
Gonzo: Ryan? What happened to you? ...And why wasn't I in on it?
Ryan: Even though he's moved out... *coughs* Uncle Deadly still haunts me...
Gonzo: *sigh* Some guys have all the luck...

 

[The Count]

Another thing I wonder... Why hasn't Prawny seen the new two chapters of Kermie's Girl? The last one at least had some good lines by some Muppet fan-type folks. BTW: We need a nickname for Layla to make her part of the trio.
Oh well... *Goes back to watching Monday Night TV before resuming his resume.

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: So then, I said, "Okay, Matt, sweetie, if you can't do that then..."
Beige: Oh, come on, we've all heard the story before.
Nora: What time is it?
Erin: Half past ten. (gets up) I guess I'd better give Scooter his evening medication before he falls asleep. (retrieves medicine bottle and spoon from kitchen and heads off to Scooter's room)

Catherine: Oh for heaven's sake, Piggy. You won't get the toast flu just by taking something to Erin's room.
Piggy: (wailing) But you know how susceptible I am to flu!
Catherine: (sighing) Okay--look. I'll take the food down--you think of something else that might make Scooter more comfortable while he's stuck in bed.
(Kermit and Fozzie poke their heads into the kitchen in after coming back from the pool. Fozzie's fur is slightly damp, and they both have towels around their necks.)
Catherine: Well, hello you two! How was the pool?
Kermit: Great!
Fozzie: (knocking water out of his ears) Wet.
Kermit: Won't be many days left of outdoor swimming, so I figured we'd better make the most of it.
Fozzie: Watcha making?
Catherine: Cookies. Scooter's sick.
Kermit: Yeah, we heard--I have a stack of "Pond Living" magazines that he might enjoy leafing through.
Fozzie: Cookies make you feel better when you're sick?
Catherine: Well, actually they're more to feed the helpful--and hungry--hordes of folks that are stopping by. But these might actually make you feel better--they're home-made ginger snaps, and people used to give ginger tea to folks with fevers.
Piggy: What's ginger tea?
Catherine: Well, I like tea with ginger--that is, I like cut black pekoe with a little ginger spice added, but actual ginger tea is made from the ginger root, hot water and suger. Some people add lemon.
Kermit: And it makes you feel better?
Catherine: It's a little intense, but it was an early medicine for cough and flu-like symptoms. Sometimes it helped bring down a fever. (smiles) We could make some if you like--there's ginger root in the pantry.
Fozzie: Let's make some and take it to Scooter.
Catherine: Okay--we'll pepper them with ginger in Erin's room.
Piggy: (rolling her eyes) Vous are soooo droll.
Catherine: Hey--stop standing around being ornamental and think of something to take Scooter. Don't you have that book of Sudoku you got for Christmas? I know it's not your thing, but Scooter might enjoy it.
Piggy: (sighing) I'll go look.
(Kermit helps make ginger tea while Fozzie dries off and Piggy gathers some time-passers for Scooter. When everything's ready, Catherine starts out the door.
Catherine: I'll take these cookies and tea over to Erin's room.
(She turns at the door to see everyone in step behind her.)
Catherine: Or....we could all go? (lots of head nodding) Okay--together we go!

Storyteller: All right, those of you not afflicted with Toast Flu, up and at them!
Beige: (muttering) Awfully chipper this morning, aren't we?
Nora: (picking up book bag) That finance author is doing more lectures at the shop...
(knocking at door)
Erin: I'll get it. (opens door) Hello, Catherine...and Kermit, Fozzie and Miss Piggy, what brings you here?
Beige: I smell something gingery.
Erin: Let's see...ginger snaps and ginger tea. These must be for Scooter, I take it?
Storyteller: How is he feeling, by the way?
Erin: I'll have to check on him. Guys, thanks a lot, and I'll tell Scooter you said get well soon.

(Scooter's room)

Scooter: (muffled) What's going on?
Erin: Catherine, Kermit, Fozzie and Miss Piggy stopped by with some ginger snaps and ginger tea for you. And they said get well soon.(sets plate and mug down on night table) How are you feeling?
Scooter: Really sore...and my throat still hurts.
Erin: Let's see...hmm, your forehead's still really hot...say aah. (Scooter does so) Throat still purple and swollen. Still having the green and orange flashes?
Scooter: Yeah.
Erin: What about the numbness?
Scooter: No.
Erin: Well, at least that's gone...here, Dr. Prell wants you to take one of these in the morning. (gets a glass of water and a pill bottle; Scooter swallows one of the pills with water) Need anything else?
Scooter: (quietly) No, thanks.

(common room, a bit later)
Nora: How's he doing?
Erin: A little less sick...but I think he's also a little glum today.
Storyteller: Goodness, why?
Beige: Oh, come on, that's nothing to fret over...in Fraggle Cave it's usual for us to be glum...
Erin: I think the thing is, since he's sick, he can't work at the theater for a while. I think he's a little sad about that.

(Scooter's room)

Scooter: (sitting up, pretending to hold a clipboard) Fifteen seconds to curtain...fifteen seconds to curtain...(gets overcome by dizziness and lies back down)

 

[Beakerfan]

Alex: Good morning guys! Hey, Scooters sick. We should bring him something to make him feel better.

Elmo: Ooh, can Elmo make him a card? *holds up a box of crayons and some paper*

Alex: I bet he'd love for you to make him a card! Bean, you can help me in the kitchen. Hey, where'd Sweetums go?

Bean: Oh, he said he had to go to the store. He'll be back!

*a loud thudding noise can be heard coming down the hall*

Sweetums: *bursts in the door* Oh hey guys! I was just getting Scooter a get well present! *holds up a brown teddy bear*

Alex: Oh, how nice Sweetums! Bean and I will be in the kitchen, okay?
