Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[The Count]

*Comes in, already changed into casual room clothes... Ed gets into bed, slips his arms through the now raised restraints on the sides of his bed, reaches to press a button or two to make the closet wall move in on itself as the bed flips up and closes shut. Ed has his arms crossed as he sulkily falls asleep vampirelike.

Peter: What'cha guys up to

ZOE: How about we go swimming and meet with the other dormies, and I began Ballet Practice tomorrow

Peter: Sounds Good and Congradulations

Baby Bear: Good for You

Little Bird: Wow!

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: Long day?
Nora: (slinking off to room) The usual.
Beige: I went to a meeting of security Fraggles - just a lot of empty talk.
Scooter: I'm going to do some music practice, is that okay?
Storyteller: Have at it, I think we could all use a bit of musical therapy.

(Scooter sits down on the common room sofa with his guitar, and starts to play, slowly - the tune in question is "Why Worry," by Dire Straits.)

Scooter: (singing, slowly and quietly) Baby...I see this world has made you sad...some people can be bad...the things they do, the things they say. But, baby...I'll wipe away those bitter tears...I'll chase away those restless fears...that turn your blue skies into gray. (pause) Why worry...there should be laughter after pain...there should be sunshine after rain...these things have always been the same, so why worry now...why worry now...

Nora: What's he playing?
Erin: Shhh...I love this one.

Scooter: Baby...when I get down I turn to you...and you make sense of what I do...and no it isn't hard to say. But, baby...just when this world seems mean and cold...our love comes shining red and gold...and all the rest is by the way. (pause) Why worry...there should be laughter after pain...there should be sunshine after rain...these things have always been the same, so why worry now...why worry now...

Beth: Hey Big Bird? I think Bryan's back
Big Bird: REALLY? Oh boy! Thanks for letting me stay again
Beth: Anytime *gives Big Bird a hug and then he leaves*
Abby: It was fun having him here
Beth: It sure was
Mokey: I never took him to the park! We were going to watch birds!
Beth: I bet you could still do that, just ask Bryan sometime if it's ok
Mokey: I could probably do that
Red: Could you guys keep it down, I'm trying to sleepBeth: Sorry

*The bed lowers back into place, as Ed awakens hungry for his breakfast... And to finally get the list updated with all the Season 38 entries.

Claudia:
(Runs out of the room wildly)
FIRE IN THE HOLE!

Bunsen:
OH DEAR!

Beaker:
MEE MEE MEEE!

Dr. Van Neuter:
GOOD JOB!
(Glares)

(Explosions are heard within their room. They turn to see it in horror)

Claudia:
(Huffs)
Sorry.

Bunsen:
No one ever listens to me.
(Shakes head and sighs)

Claudia:
The button was pretty though!
It was sparkly...
(Looks childish as she speaks)

Bunsen:
It was a SELF DESTRUCT BUTTON!

Dr. Van Neuter:
UM...why would you have that?

Bunsen:
(Looks to the floor)
Well, I thought it would...
(Realizes)
I'm not too sure...

Beaker:
Meesheesh..

Claudia:
(Fiddles with her necklace innocently)

Bunsen:
Ohhhh...

 

[BEAR]

Big Bird: I'm so glad you're back, Bryan!
Bryan: Did you have fun with Beth and her roomies?
Big Bird: Yeah, I always do. They're all so nice.
Bryan: You okay?
Big Bird: Well, you see...Mokey was going to take me to the park to go bird watching and we never did.
Bryan: Oh, well what do you say we get Snuffy and Mokey and we'll grab a picnic lunch and all go to the park?
Big Bird: Really?
Bryan: Uh huh!
Big Bird: Oh boy! (jumps up and down)

 

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Grumpy)
Doc, stop mumbling...UGH!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Yes your grace.
(Rolls his eyes)

Claudia:
(Sinks her head into the softness of the pillow)
Ergh...

Beaker:
Mee mee mee...meemeemee (Pats Claudia's back)

Claudia:
(Whips out a remote and presses a suspicious button)

---

(Bunsen, Beaker, and Van Neuter are ensnared by wires)

Bunsen:
This is uncomfortable, I can't move as freely as I'd like...

Dr. Van Neuter:
Oh, yeah, um...
that's because the little pipsqueak is being a total drag major!

Beaker:
Meeemeeemeee!

Claudia:
(In demonic voice)
Claudia NEED SILENCE!
CLAUDIA WANT SILENCE!
CLAUDIA SMASH!
BIG HEADACHE! NO GOOD!

Bunsen:
You heard the girl...
(Whimpers)

Beaker:
(Shakes)

Dr. Van Neuter:
(Faints)

Gonzo: *darts in* Maneuver 81A?
Ryan: Are there any other maneuvers?
Gonzo: *shrug*
