Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[Beakerfan]

Alex: Continues to lipsynch to the opera in a trance-like state....

Sweetums: Hi Tony! *hugs him* Boy am I glad to see you! I think you came just in time, too....

 

[Winslow Leach]

Tony (being hugged by Sweetums) Ooof!

Tony pats Sweetums on the shoulder, and moves to Alex. He sits down next to her, and looks into her eyes. He takes her in his arms, and holds her tightly.

Tony: It'll be okay, sweetie...shhhh...it's okay...

Tony holds Alex.

 

[The Count]

*Leaves four little white boxes at Room #9's doorstep. These are the MC SM Kermit badges with the names of Tony and each of his roomies in silver lettering on the collar. You get these upon becoming a Senior here, but now that he's moved in with roomies, they each get one too by default or association. Take your pick.

*Moves on to get some sleep, long day on campus.
*Thinks how to restart counting as he goes to sleep.

 

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *breaks into uncontrollable sobs*

Sweetums: *frustrated* I'm gonna go.... Bean, keep an eye on her, ok? Tony..... you're on your own.

Bean: Well, not entirely.... carrot? *offers Tony a carrot*

Sweetums: *goes outside to sit on the swing*

Prairie:Kathy and Rosita..I was thinking that we should send Alex a card and some flowers.
That's a good idea,Prairie.I know she has Tony and her roomies to comfort her.But maybe a sympathy card and flowers from us would help too.
Prairie:Wish I'd thought of it earlier.
Rosita:Well,at least you thought of it.We'll go out tomorrow and get the flowers and card.
Wait girls...I have an idea. We can print out a card tonight on the printer.Let's look for some pretty designs.
the three of us look through all the designs for cards until we find one that has all different flowers on it.OK..we've got it. printing it out and writing:
Dear Alex,
We're really sorry to hear about your grandmother.We know how much it hurts.If you need to talk to any of us,let us know.
(((BIG HUGS))))))
Kathy Prairie Rosita and Gaffer

 

[Winslow Leach]

Lefty opens the door and looks down at the boxes on the doorstep.

Lefty: Hey, what's dis?

Lefty carries the boxes into the room, and opens one.

Lefty: Alright! Badges with da frog on 'em!

Newsman: Shouldn't we open those when Tony gets back?

Lefty (already pinning his badge on) Nah! Hey Crazy Harry, look what ya got!

 

[Winslow Leach]

Tony is still sitting against the wall of room 24, holding Alex, gently rocking her. A half-eaten carrot is on his lap, a gift from Bean the night before. He softly sings "Love Me Tender."

Beaker:
(Chews on a celery in a fit of jealousy)

Bunsen:
Aw, you're a strapping young lad, Beakie!
I'm sure there are plenty more to come by, my tall friend.

Beaker:
(Sigh)

Bunsen:
Come now, it's going to be a doozy!
Who can resist two delectable scientists in a Benz?

Claudia:
You can't drive well...

Bunsen:
Oh-ho, isn't she a sweet one?
Let's go out and have a good time!
Come on, don't be shy.
Show your stuff, Beakie!

Beaker:
(Groans)

Guys i heard that one of our fellow dormies isn't having a wonderful day. So let's go cheer her up.

Grover: We are all ready.

Monsters, Birds and Snuffleupgus: Ready!

Good.

We all head over to Alex's room and start our little song for her.

*knock knock* Hello Alex. We are all so sorry to hear about your grandmother Alex.

Big Bird: I know i would be sad too if my grannybird died.

Herry: We want to sing you a song. Hope this helps out a little.

We start to play our little band

Me: When skies are grey and days are dark
And life kinda gets you down
Don't sit, knit your brows and frown
Don't jump in the creek and drown

Cookie M: Reach out one time to find a friend
And then you will understand
That life is worth living
Living fur in fur

Big Bird: When you're feeling downhearted
When you're lower than duuuust
When you're feeling so downright mean
You could practically bust

Snuffy: When your friends have departed
And there isn't a good thing you can see
Reach out your snuffle, baby
You can lean on me

Me and the Gang: The more you want us near you
The nearer we'll be
We're reaching out to cheer you
And you can lean on us
The more the joy of giving
The greater the gift
So share the life you're living
And see your spirits lift

We then repeat the first two verses overlapping each other

Me, Snuffy, Grover and Herry: When skies are grey and days are dark
Big Bird, Cookie M, Bruce and Murray: When you're feeling downhearted
Me, Snuffy, Grover and Herry: And life kinda gets you down
Big Bird, Cookie M, Bruce and Murray: When you're lower than dust
Me, Snuffy, Grover and Herry: Don't sit, knit your brows and frown
Big Bird, Cookie M, Bruce and Murray: When you're feeling so downright mean
Me, Snuffy, Grover and Herry: Don't jump in the creek and drown
Big Bird, Cookie M, Bruce and Murray: You could practically bust

Big Bird, Cookie M, Bruce and Murray: Reach out one time to find a friend
Me, Snuffy, Grover and Herry: When your friends have departed
Big Bird, Cookie M, Bruce and Murray: And then you will understand
Me, Snuffy, Grover and Herry: And there isn't a good thing you can see
Big Bird, Cookie M, Bruce and Murray: That life is worth living
Me, Snuffy, Grover and Herry: Reach out your hand, baby
Big Bird, Cookie M, Bruce and Murray: Living hand in hand
Me, Snuffy, Grover and Herry: You can lean on me

Me and the Gang: The more you want us near you
The nearer we'll be
We're reaching out to cheer you
And you can lean on us
The more the joy of giving
The greater the gift
So share the life you're living
And see your spirits lift

(Sweetums, Bean and Tony join in)

Me, Sweetums, Bean Tony and the Gang: It's beautiful to live your life
With people who understand
That life's worth living
Living hand in hand (living hand in hand)
Yes, life's worth living
Living hand in ...
Living, living, living hand in hand!

(music ends)
