(There is a sort of manic attitiude of purposeful cheerfulness in room 20, led by Catherine, who is sortof manic and cheerful herself. She has a mailer wrapper in her hand, and the coffee table has been mysteriously covered with a tablecloth. Underneath the tablecloth are some mystifying lumps. Kermit is back, but being treated like a piece of shabby furniture by Piggy. Kermit seems grateful for the acknowledgement.)
Piggy: Can you tell us what the big surprise is already?
Catherine: Okay roomies--this is it!
Fozzie: What? What's it?
Catherine: I finally got a copy of "Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas." I've never seen it before. Everybody grab a slice of a chair.
Fozzie: Can I grab a slice of cheesecake, too?
Catherine: (whipping off the tablecloth) Of course! And there's popcorn and pretzels and a cheese ball, and some marinated mushrooms, and some little chocolates and a whole bunch of fresh fruit and some baby carrots and raisens and all sorts of things. I thought we could have a little movie party and, you know, celebrate all the fun stuff that has happened this year. Oh, and there's more cheesecake.
Piggy: (noncommittally) Mmmm
Kermit: This is, um, nice, Catherine. I think this will be fun. (He is trying so hard it is almost painful to watch.)
Catherine: Come on, people--plant yourselves. I want to start the movie.
(Gradually, everybody finds a place to sit. Fozzie is stretched out on one of the loveseats. Piggy is sitting regally in one of the lime tweed recliners. Catherine is sitting on the other loveseat. Kermit hesitates for a moment, finally taking the other lime tweed recliner beside Piggy.)
Fozzie: Everybody's ready!
Catherine: (hits the remote) It's showtime!
Fozzie: (sitting up) Um, is this movie scary?
Catherine: Nooo. It's family entertainment.
Fozzie: Oh good.
Piggy: Shhhh!
Catherine: Shushing now.
(The movie plays.)
