Ru: Okay--I'm here, and I brought--waaaahhhh!! (slides on icy patch and falls right into Walter's arms) Er, hello, and um, thank you, Walter. (Stands with difficulty) I, um, brought cookies but Cookie Monster said he'd bring those in for me....
Walter: That's been happening the whole time. Is that another fruitcake?
Ru: Another--oh! This? No! This isn't a real fruitcake--it's my Grandmother's orange-slice cake.
Walter: It's looks yummy.
Fozzie: It is yummy. It has orange candy slices, pecans, coconut--
Kermit: Dates--
Piggy: Yes, Sweetie? Moi is here.
Kermit: What? Oh. Um, not, um, that kind of date, Piggy. Dates like you put into a recipe and eat.
Piggy: I usually try to avoid those types of dates.
Kermit: No--I mean, um--I mean, you and I are one of that kind of date, but Ru's cake has dates in it.
Piggy: Oh. Yes. And and orange juice and brown sugar glaze.
Watler: I can see that. It looks great. Hey, Fozzie--want to put this on the buffet for me?
Fozzie: (saluting) Sure thing, Watler! (takes the cake away)
Walter: Hey, Ru--you want to come over and help me and some of the other guests make a paper chain for the Christmas tree?
Ru: Oooh! I'd love to. (puts her arms through Walter's arm)
Walter: (over his shoulder) Kermit--you and Miss Piggy are welcome to help, but I thought you might want to visit a little first. There's all sorts of fans here...."
Piggy: (perking up) Fans? Here? Our fans?
Kermit: (grinning at Walter) You said the magic word, Walter. We'll circulate a bit and see you all later. Hey look! There's our host! Hey Dwayne!
Piggy: And look--there's Beauregard!
Kermit: Our Beauregard or our fan Beauregard.
Piggy: Both of him. And Mo and Hubert are over at the punch table!
Kermit: And Kim and MissMusical. Hey guys!
