[Beakerfan]

Sweetums: Hey, Alex, I know something that might make you feel a little better......

Alex: *sniffles* What's that?

Sweetums: A certain someone has finally moved in..........

Alex: Are... are you serious? You mean...... *runs out the door*

Bean: *walks in eating baby carrots* Where's she goin?

Sweetums: I think to room #9.......

Bean: Carrot? *holds out a carrot*

Sweetums: Carrot.... *eats the carrot*

Tony (looks at watch) I think it's too late to go furniture shopping.

Newsman: Really? I've lost all track of time. This story I'm writing is quite fascinating.

Tony: What is it?

Newsman: Apparently a local farmer's cows are producing ping-pong balls instead of milk.

Tony: Hey, I've been meaning to ask you...(gestures with head to Crazy Harry, still giggling in the corner) He playing with a full deck?

Newsman: Crazy Harry? He's harmless. Worked with him for years. He's our pyrotechnics expert at the Muppet Theatre.

Tony: Yeah, but...it seems he enjoys his work a little too much...

Newsman: It's best not to dwell on it...

Lefty: Hey, did I hear ya guys need some furniture?

Tony: No. We like sitting in an empty room.

Lefty: 'Cause I kin get ya some.

Tony: Really? Are you in the furniture business?

Lefty: No...not exactly...but I have contacts. I kin fill dis room up in no time.

Tony: How much?

Lefty: I'll make a deal with ya. If I kin crash here fer a while, I'll give ya da furniture for next ta nothin'.

Newsman: What happened to that dive you call a home, Lefty?

Lefty: I don't have it no more.

Newsman: Were you late with the rent?

Lefty: Nah. I had Crazy Harry over for lunch dis afternoon. I tink dat explains everything. So whaddaya say? I'll get ya furniture, if ya let me stay here fer a while.

Tony: Doesn't bother me.

Newsman: I could care less.

Lefty looks down at Crazy Harry, who frantically shakes his head, while laughing maniacally.

Lefty: Den it's settled. I'll be back in a few...

Lefty slowly opens the door and looks right, then left.

Lefty: I tink dat punk is gone...

Lefty whisks out the door.

Tony (sighs) And then there were four...

Bean: *watching tv with Sweetums*

Sweetums: That Patrick always cracks me up!

Bean: Yeah, but I like Spongebob better.... he's almost as cute as me!

Sweetums: Yeah.....

Bean: Jerky? *holds out a bag of jerky*

Sweetums: Jerky. *takes some jerky*

Alex: *riding down the elevator, which plays "Mahna Mahna"* Mahna mahna........ mahna mahna.......... mahna mahna.............................. mahna mahnamahnananaa *goes crazy* *the elevator opens and she regains her composure*

 

[Winslow Leach]

Tony: I hear "Mahna Mahna" playing in the elevator...I think it just stopped on this floor, actually. Should I be scared?

The Newsman and Harry don't hear--or ignore--Tony. They continue with their work, the Newsman typing, Harry banging his sticks of dynamite together.

Tony paces around the room, his hands in his pockets.

 

[The Count]

Nah... The elevator has a direct feed to Muppet Central Radio piped in. It's mostly instrumental versions of all the songs though.
*Goes back to room to read the great new fanfic noone's heard of, Gold Demona by the authorof the same name.

Man, muppetwriter should read this stuff, he'd love it!

 

[Beakerfan]

Bean: So...... you thinkin what I'm thinkin?

Sweetums: Totally! *runs over and turns on the stero, which begins to play "Tequila"

*Bean and Sweetums begin to dance*

Meanwhile, a light knock is heard on the door of room #9......

 

[Winslow Leach]

Tony hears a knock on the door. Company already? He looks at his two roomies, who are still off in their own little worlds.

Tony opens the door.

The beautiful Alex stands there.

Tony: Alex ? ! Wow! Wonderful to see you!

Tony embraces Alex, and kisses her on the cheek.

Tony: Come on in. Um, we don't have any furniture yet, but you're more than welcome to hang!

Tony takes Alex's hand, and leads her into the room.

 

[Beakerfan]

Alex: No furniture? That...... ROCKS! Get some rugs and bean bag chairs and you're good to go! Seriously, the floor is my favorite place to sit. So.... I don't think I've met your roomies yet?

Sweetums and Bean: TEQUILA! *they continue to dance*

 

[Winslow Leach]

Tony: Oh...yeah...that fellow sitting on the windowsill there is the Muppet Newsman. You probably see him on TV. Last week he was attacked by a runaway buzzsaw on the air.

Newsman: No, that is not true! It was two runaway buzzsaws, thank you very much!

Tony: And this guy over here is, er, Crazy Harry. I dunno about him, but the Newsman says he's okay. I dunno. From the looks of him, he seems to have a short fuse...

Crazy Harry: Did somebody say short fuse?

Tony: NO!

(Tony grabs the dynamite from Harry; luckily it's still unlit)

Tony: Play nice. And then there's Lefty. You actually just missed him. I'm not sure what he does, but he promised to bring back some furniture tonight, so we're waiting on that. Um...the ceiling seems as if it's about to come crashing down on us. Are we okay down here? Who are your roomies anyway?

 

[Beakerfan]

Alex: Nice to meet all of y'all..... I'm rooming with Sweetums and Bean Bunny. What the hey are they doing up there? They told me they were going to watch TV.... *realizes they're playing Tequila* Ohmygosh! Come ON! *grabs Tony and they both run up to her room*

Sweetums: *sees Alex and Tony run in and stops* Uhhhh...... hi? *sheepish grin*

Alex: Sweetums, don't be rude! *turns the music up and begins to mash-potatoe* And while you're at it, go get everyone else! Man, this is gonna be a PARRRRR-TAY!

Sweetums: Uh, ok..... *leaves to go invite everyone else to come party*
