Be there or be...not...there.

FROGNAPPED!
Part 6
INT: BUS - TEN MINUTES LATER
Harold is behind the wheel, humming along as ‘Java’ plays on the radio. Kermit and Piggy are in the seat behind him and Tanya is in the seat across from them. Kermit is watching the island go by out the window, Piggy is flipping through an issue of “Porcine Fashion Monthly”.
KERMIT
Wow, this place sure is beautiful.
TANYA
That’s why we decided to retire here.
HAROLD
If you can call running a hotel ‘retirement’.
TANYA
Harold.
HAROLD
Just saying.
CUT TO
INT: RENTAL CAR
Steve is trying to catch up with the bus and failing miserably. He is getting more and more miffed by the second. His phone rings again and he erupts. He rips the phone from his pocket flips it open and shouts:
STEVE
WILL YOU STOP BUGGING ME!
The person on the other end says something inaudible and Steve suddenly looks embarrassed.
STEVE
Sorry, mom. (beat) Yes, I made it alright. (beat)
No, I didn’t need my airsickness pills. (beat)
Yes, I have my sweater. (beat) I’m going to have
to get back to you later, I’m on a mission right now.
(beat) I’m trying to kidnap Kermit the Frog. (beat)
Yes, I’ll try to get you an autograph. Love you. Bye.
Steve hangs up and it is only then that he realizes that he has drifted into the wrong lane and that another car is coming right at him! Steve quickly swerves onto the right lane and comes to a screeching halt on the side of the road.
STEVE
(Relieved sigh) Missed him.
BOBO THE BEAR suddenly flops onto the windshield upside down.
BOBO
You call that a miss?
STEVE
(Shocked)
Bobo! What are you doing here?
BOBO
Besides reusing an old gag?
Bobo loses his grip and, with a yell, rolls off the hood of the car and onto the ground. Steve jumps out of the car as Bobo stands up, a little dazed and rubbing his head.
STEVE
Are you alright?
BOBO
Next movie we do I’m playing a good guy.
Steve rushes Bobo and starts pushing him towards the passenger’s side door.
STEVE
Quick! Get in! We need to catch up with that bus!
Bobo swats him away.
BOBO
Don’t rush me! I’m going!
Bobo stops at the door and points at the ad.
BOBO
Hey, look, a running gag!
STEVE
(Shouts)
Will you just get in the car!
Bobo is startled by Steve’s shouts.
BOBO
Okay, yessir! Getting in the car.
Bobo yanks the door open and clambers inside as Steve runs back around to the driver’s side.
CUT TO
EXT: HOTEL - FIVE MINUTES LATER
CLOSE UP of a large and welcoming sign reads ‘The Gull’s Wing Inn : Vacancy’. PAN OVER to reveal the hotel itself, two parallel two story buildings with the beach visible just beyond the end of the parking lot. A sign points out that the lobby is located in the building on the right.
The hotel bus comes sputtering into the parking lot and stops in front of the right building. The door opens and Harold steps out. He opens a compartment in the side of the bus and begins to unload baggage as Kermit and Piggy get off with Tanya close behind. Kermit takes a look around.
KERMIT
Nice.
PIGGY
Quaint.
Harold stops unloading for a second.
HAROLD
Yeah, (deep sigh) prime real estate.
He continues with the unloading.
HAROLD
Ya’ know, a couple of those big companies have
been beatin’ down our door for years, trying to get us
to sell it so they can tear it down and put up one of
their big ol’ fancy resorts. (laugh) But if we did that
there’d be no place for the people the other resorts kick out.
TANYA
There’s no need to bore them with our life story, Harold.
HAROLD
Alright, honey.
They share a quick kiss and Piggy’s eyes light up. She cozies up to Kermit.
PIGGY
You know, Kermie, doing something like that would be a good way to spend OUR golden years.
Kermit looks a little embarrassed.
KERMIT
Right.
Two things:
1. Sorry for the short length, but it is going to pick up in the next part.
2. For those of you who have seen the movie Gremlins, Tanya and Harold are suppoed to be read like the Futtermans.
Why? I don't know, he's on third and I don't give a darn!
