Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[RedPiggy]

Kelly: Well, I --.

Spike: Kel's had some family t'ings come up today. Oh, before we forget -- in case we don't see ya on da day in question -- Kudos for aging.

Kelly (shakes head, embarrassed): Uh ... yeah ... Happy Birthday, Kate.

 

[Fragglemuppet]

Me: Gee, as if I didn't already feel myself getting older... But
Wembley: But I thought you were still young?
Me: Yeah, that's what everyone keeps telling me. Anyway, thanks Spike and Kelly, I appreciate it.

 

[RedPiggy]

Cotterpin (to Kate): Well, age is all relative, right? You humans seem to last awhile. I mean, you don't live as long as GORGS, but it's better than the poor fruit fly ... twenty-four hours and *acts like she's choking* erk ... erk ... *sighs and plays dead*

 

[Fragglemuppet]

Me: *grinning* Have you been taking drama lessons from Mokey? Yeah, oh, to have the lifespan of a gorg... Bright side, you'd get to see a lot of history in the making. Dark side, you'd be making all that history yourself, including the not-so-nice stuff. Hmmm, our order should be comming...
Waiter: Here we go. A portobello rap, Greek salad, steak with loaded mashed potatoes, and food pellets. I'll be right back with the rest. *walks away, and returns with two other waiters, carying Spike's order* Waiter 1: And here's your order sir.
Me: Thanks.
Gobo and Wembley: Thanks. Yeah, thanks.

Kelly: Ooh ... cool.

Cotterpin: Yum!

Spike: I t'ought I said I wanted BBQ ribs wit' dry rub. Dis has sauce on it. Do it ovah.

Kelly (elbows him): No it doesn't. Don't be a jerk. I used to work in food service before. They don't deserve your attitude.

Spike (to Kelly): What about dat Sarah Connor chick?

Kelly (shrugs): VCR. That's what it's for.

 

[RedPiggy]

Cotterpin (to the Fraggles): Did you know Kelly broke my scooter?

Kelly (rolls eyes): Cotterpin ....

Cotterpin (nods): She did. She made Spike kick a hole in the wall, which weakened a Doozer bridge. One day I was driving over it when I fell off. It got really messed up. But now it's even better than it was before. So ... she's forgiven ... for now.

Kelly: Lucky me ...

Cotterpin: Of course, once she finishes that stupid story about me, I'll have whole new reasons to be mad at her.

Spike (scarfs down food at an amazing rate)

 

[Fragglemuppet]

Me: Well..I'm sure anything Kelly might have..done..was an accident. *smiles at Kelly* Maybe I shouldn't ask this, but would you like anything else, Spike? Oh, and how were those ribs after all that?
Gobo: *whispering* Wow, that's a lot of food!
Wembley: Yeah, well, it was a lot...

 

[RedPiggy]

Spike (leans back, grinning): I gotta hang out wit' you more, Kate. *burps loudly* You know da best eatin' joints.

Kelly (smiles at Kate): Even HIS huge stomach gets filled EVENTUALLY.

Cotterpin: Hey Wembley, Gobo ... you guys come here often?

 

[Fragglemuppet]

Gobo: Oh, I'd say we've been here a fair bit. Haven't been in a while though.

 

[RedPiggy]

Kelly (to Kate): So, do we pay here ... or do we sneak out in the middle of the night?

Spike (happily drapes his arms around both human ladies): Girls, girls ... it's on me.

Kelly (stares): Seriously?

Spike (grins): Oh, yeah ... I mean, I'm gonna give da boss o' dis place somethin' he really needs.

Kelly: Such as?

Spike: A chance ta keep breathin'. It's amazin' how persuasive dat is. Heheheh.
