<Wanda is walking past the kitchen when an arm suddenly shoots out a snags her>
Wanda: Eeek!
Leyla: Shh! Shh!
Wanda: <breathing heavily> Leyla! You scared me!
Leyla: <secretively> Spss... listen...
Wanda: Are you going to try to sell me the letter 'H'?
Leyla: <dropping the secrecy> That's exactly what Hilda said to me too. Jimmy just asked if I could fix the leak in his tires. Robot Kermit asked me if I was trying to get him alone... oy...
Wanda: Isn't that Lisa's word?
Leyla: Sha!
Wanda: Isn't that Prawnie's word?
Leyla: Indubitably.
Wanda: Who's word is that?
Leyla: Sherlock Holmes's I suppose, and perhaps Sherlock Hemlock's... I don't know. I haven't visited the Street in awhile. Anyway it's vaguely British sounding and also long which reminds me of Beau.
Wanda: It does?
It: I do not! How dare you say such a thing!
<long pause as the anthropomorphic It bolts out of the room giggling.>
Leyla: Weird. It's a weird place, Muppet Central.
Wanda: You think? I've never noticed. Though that Eagle guy who's been following me around lately is always complaining...
Leyla: Wait... Sam? Sam the Eagle? He follows you around?
Wanda: <nods sulkily> Ever since Wayne and I called it quits, he's been asking me to reconsider, 'for the good of the nation'.
Leyla: <cautiously> Are you... thinking about it?
Wanda: <getting upset> No! Of course not! I don't even miss him or the way he was always there for me when our acts fell apart!
Leyla: Okay, okay. Easy now.
Now: Why thank you. I try to be helpful.
Wanda: Is it easy being Now?
Now: Not if you're green. <Now, who is, in fact green, begins to whimper and races off.>
Wanda: Hmm... I guess that was a little odd. Another Beau reference, Leyla?
Leyla: Yes, but I suppose that just about covers it for the MSN writers I know well.
Wanda: Well, I suppose you could reference Catherine.
Leyla: <shifts awkwardly> Well, I would but I would have to borrow Kermit and Piggy and well... I wouldn't want to put any ideas in Robot Kermit's head.
Wanda: <haughtily> Goodness knows he's got enough of them!
Leyla: Yeah... I didn't really expect him to be quite so...
Wanda: Annoying?
Leyla:... flirtatious. It's a surprising quality in a robot. I thought he'd be a little more like Kermit.
Wanda: <shrug> He was built to be a TV show host, so he's sort of a look at Kermit if the fame ever got to his head.
Leyla: Personally, I think he was built to irritate the actual Kermit. Maybe we can work on that a bit...
Wanda: Listen, I've got to get to my Jilted Girlfriends Anonymous meeting so if you could just tell me what you want...
Leyla: Oh! I nearly forgot! It turns out that it's Grover's birthday today! We have to throw him a big bash, especially since his roomate's away. I thought about it and I decided we could have it here.
Wanda: Another party? Great! So what should I do?
Leyla: Well, Hilda and Jimmy took Grover and Herry out to the park so we can surprise him when he gets back. I've been baking all morning so everything will be ready for everyone to arrive. Kermit is out spreading the word that the party will be here this afternoon. But we need to get a gift for the birthday monster. I was thinking he'd like a picture of his mommy in a frame. Would you mind-
Wanda: Oh, sure! I'll pick up the frame and picture after the meeting. Will you be alright here?
Leyla: Oh, sure... if I can cook for Piggy, and can cook for anyone! Um... don't mention I said that to her, will you?
Wanda: I won't. I like you in one piece.
Leyla: <laughs> Oh, good. That's nice to hear! Now... I've got a cake to ice!
