(note: characters will be refered to by their Muppet names. The cast list, with the exception of Jack Sparrow, was to show how the characters relate to those of the film)

MUPPETS of the CARIBBEAN​

SCENE ONE

EXT. SHIP'S BOW - EARLY MORNING

It is a foggy morning. A young pig by the name of BABY PIGGY stands at the bow of the ship, singing...

BABY PIGGY​
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot. Drink up me hearties yo ho! We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot. Drink up me hearties yo ho! Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.​

FOZZIE BEAR enters.

FOZZIE BEAR​
(nervously) Miss Piggy! Don't do that! There are... c-c-c-cursed pirates out here!​

LINK HOGTHROB enters.

LINK​
(to FOZZIE) Quiet, you! You'll scare the fish away!​

FOZZIE​
(covers his face with his hat) Oh, I'm sorry, sir. But- but- but-​

LINK​
Well, spit it out, sailor!​

FOZZIE​
She was singing about... pirates!​

Dramatic music plays. The three characters look around to find out where it came from.

LINK​
Yes, well... That'll do, Mr. Bear!​

FOZZIE​
*sigh* Yes, sir.​

FOZZIE walks to another part of the ship.

PIGGY​
I think it would be exciting to meet a real pirate!​

LINK​
(snaps at her) Well, think again, little missy! Pirates are such icky people. I'll see to it that those pirates get just what they deserve.​

ROWLF enters.

ROWLF​
Now, Mr. Hogthrob, I don't think I like where this is heading.​

LINK​
The ship's heading where you told us to go!​

ROWLF​
I meant the conversation.​

LINK​
Oh, right.​

ROWLF​
I don't think I like you talking to my daughter about... pirates!​

Dramatic music plays. All the characters look to find where it's coming from.

ROWLF​
Would ya cut it out with that old gag! Now, where was I?​

LINK​
You're on the boat.​

ROWLF​
I know I'm on the boat, I meant in the conversation!​

PIGGY moves to look over the side of the ship. She sees a parasol floating in the water, and then a piece of wreckage with a rather "green looking" BOY on it in the water.

PIGGY​
*gasp!* Look! A boy! A boy in the water! (to the camera) And, boy, is he cute!​

The crew quickly pulls the BOY aboard.

They all look out into the distance to see another ship mostly destroyed and in flames.

While the others look out at the wreckage, PIGGY goes to the young BOY, who we can now see is a FROG, BABY KERMIT.

KERMIT awakens, panicked.

PIGGY​
It's okay. My name is Miss Piggy.​

KERMIT​
I'm Kermit... Kermit the Frog.​

KERMIT passes out again.

PIGGY notices a medallion around his neck.

PIGGY​
You're a... pirate?​

Dramatic music plays.

End scene.

Good start. Could do without all the block quotes though. Interested to find out where this goes, the story not the boat, as I've never seen any of the POTC movies.

Ah, sorry. I was doing that because that's typically how a script is written, though if it makes it easier to read, I could change that.

I just did a test, and it's actually easier for me to read with it centered. Maybe because I'm just used to reading it like that. I'd be interested to know if the majority would prefer it like this, though:

ROWLF: Would ya cut it out with that old gag! Now, where was I?

LINK: You're on the boat.

ROWLF: I know I'm on the boat, I meant in the conversation!

Thanks for the comments, everyone!

SCENE TWO

INT. MISS PIGGY'S BEDROOM - MORNING

MISS PIGGY, now an adult, awakes from her dream as depicted in the last scene. She stands, and moves to her bureau where she has kept hidden the pirate medallion that she found around KERMIT'S neck. She hold it up in front of her to admire it.

PIGGY​
(to camera) What? Can you blame moi?​

She puts it on.

There is a knock at the door. PIGGY jumps, surprised by the knock.

ROWLF​
(o.s.) Oh, Miss Piggy? Are you decent?​

PIGGY​
(to herself) Not if I can help it. (calling out) I'll be right there, Daddy, dear! Ah, ha ha ha ha!​

PIGGY hides the medallion in her nightgown, and quickly throws on a robe.

ROWLF enters.

ROWLF​
Oh, dearest daughter! (to camera) Piggy's my daughter in this picture, folks. I know, it doesn't make sense to me either. (to PIGGY) Oh, dearest daughter! It's almost noon, and you're still in bed. Are you that lazy?​

PIGGY​
Watch it, buster! *ahem!* (sweetly) That is, whatever are you doing, Daddy dear?​

ROWLF​
Uh, oh, yes! I have a gift for you!​

Two MAIDS enter with a brand new dress.

PIGGY​
A gift for me? Well, how we sweet! And unexpected, too.​

ROWLF​
I did hope it would be a surprise. After all, you begged for it for months.​

MISS PIGGY and the MAIDS go behind a curtain to put the dress on.

ROWLF​
I, uh... I had hoped you might wear it for the ceremony today.​

PIGGY​
What ceremony?​

PIGGY screams as the MAIDS pull the corset tight. ROWLF jumps back at this.

ROWLF​
Uh, well, the, uh... Captain Hogthrob's promotion ceremony.​

PIGGY​
(to the MAIDS) Pull it tighter!​

ROWLF​
You know, he's being made a Commodore, right? (to MAIDS) You're gonna need to put your backs into it in there! (laughs)​

PIGGY​
Grr!​

ROWLF​
*ahem!* That is to say, Captain Hogthrob is a pretty decent sort of fella, and... kinda slow-witted, maybe, but he's a good guy, I guess.​

PIGGY​
There!​

ROWLF​
What's that?​

MISS PIGGY comes out wearing the dress.

PIGGY​
What do you think?​

The corset is MUCH too tight, and obviously so.

ROWLF​
Well, uh... You, uh...​

FEATHERSTONE enters.

FEATHERSTONE​
Excuse me, sir, but there's someone here to see you.​

ROWLF​
Hallelujah! Saved by the bell! Excuse me, daughter.​

ROWLF exits quickly.

PIGGY​
Well, what do you think, Featherstony?​

FEATHERSTONE​
... Oh, my.​

INT. FOYER - IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING

KERMIT stands alone, holding a sword, and admiring some of the decorations. He looks at a sconce, and upon touching it, it breaks off in his hand. Looking around to see if anyone had noticed, he tosses it over his shoulder.

ROWLF comes down the stairs to meet him.

ROWLF​
Ah, Kermit! Good to see you again!​

KERMIT​
Good day, sir. I have your order for you.​

KERMIT presents him with the sword.

TWO GUARDS come out of nowhere and immediately attack KERMIT! They tackle him to the ground.

ROWLF​
Hey, it's all right, fellas. He's just bringin' the sword to me.​

The TWO GUARDS get up off of KERMIT and leave.

KERMIT stands, shaken and squished. He straightens himself out.

ROWLF​
They're good kids, but a little dull. Now, let's see this sword.​

ROWLF pulls the sword from it's sheath, and starts swinging it around. KERMIT has to duck a few times to avoid it until, finally, ROWLF returns it to it's place.

ROWLF​
Hey, that's a darn good sword, kid. Commodore Hogthob'll love it!​

KERMIT​
Well, thank you, sir.​

ROWLF​
Pass my appreciation on to your master, would ya?​

KERMIT​
(disappointed, since he actually made it) Er, yeah. Yeah, sure.​

MISS PIGGY enters. The dress has been adjusted for a better fit.

PIGGY​
Hello, Kermie! Oh, it's so good to see you! I had a dream about you last night.​

KERMIT​
Er, about me?​

ROWLF​
Creepy, ain't it?​

PIGGY​
About the day we met, Kermie.​

KERMIT​
Oh. Oh, of course, Miss Piggy.​

PIGGY​
Oh, do not be silly, Kermie! How many times do I have to ask you to just call me Piggy?​

KERMIT​
Yes, Miss Piggy. Er, that is... at least once more, Miss Piggy.​

ROWLF​
See, Piggy? At least this boy knows what's what!​

ROWLF slaps KERMIT on the back.

ROWLF​
Come along, dear!​

PIGGY​
(disappointed in KERMIT) Good day, Mr. Kermit.​

PIGGY and ROWLF exit.

KERMIT​
(as they leave) Uh, goodbye... Piggy.​

End scene.

Oh, hey, I'm sorry. I didn't see this till after I posted my next scene... I'm sorry, but, I think I'm going to leave it like this. Like I said, scripts usually have the dialogue centered. Unless... Does it make it really hard to read, though? I suppose that's the important thing.

What does anyone else think?
