The Missing Muppet Movie

Too little SHIFT key.

Nice update and I must say it does seem kind of nice to gain a view of the vactional spot before they get inside, because I have a weird feeling that it maybe chaotic inside the place than outside.

Still Please do keep up the good work upon such a great storyline.

I'm sorry to report that part seven won't be here for quite a while now.

Something got onto my computer. The file is fine but, after needing to go to such lengths as wipe the hard drive, I no longer have a word processor capable of running it.

I say a deep 'sorry' to the seven or eight of you that are actually reading my script.

That was supposed to be an exlamation point. not an eleven

Good things come to those that wait. When you're ready to post more you'll have an appreciative audience.

I usually read the fanfics with a bit of trepidation so when i come across one i really enjoy i try to pipe up - i'm finding this a great read and can easily see this being an actual (and welldone) Muppet movie.

Thanks for that.

BUT, part seven will take even longer than I thought. What ever it was came back the other day and I have a sneaking suspicion that whatever it is got onto the flash drive I backed the computer up on. Meaning I can't retrieve the file without infecting the computer all over again. I (really, really!) hope that this is not the case.

I will try to get part seven up soon, even if it means making a whole new separate file on the WordPad.

Keep your eyes peeled till then!

(On second thought, don't. That REALLY hurts!)

Dissapointing mbmfrog and proving me a liar in one fell swoop , it's:

FROGNAPPED
Part 7​

INT: CAR - DAY
A stressed out Steve sits behind the wheel while Bobo slowly looks around while drumming his fingers on the arm rest. After a few tense moments Bobo decides to speak:
　

BOBO
Sooooo...How 'ya been?
　
STEVE
Horrible.
　
BOBO
Well...okay. Umm...how's your wife?​

　
STEVE
I'm not married.​

　

BOBO
Well, how's your mother?​

　

STEVE
Old and annoying.​

　

BOBO
I'm sensing some tension in your voice.​

　

STEVE
(Sarcastically)
Noo-oo-oo! I'm not stressed! I'M JUST PEACHY!​

　

BOBO
Well, if you say so.​

　
Steve rolls his eyes as Bobo goes back to drumming his fingers on the arm rest.
　

CUT TO​

INT: HOTEL ROOM
The lights flicker on revealing a hotel room. Nice, but not too fancy. It has a single bed, armchair, table with a phone on it, fridge, microwave, TV set and the customary Mr. Coffee.

Kermit, Piggy, Tanya and a bag laden Harold stand just inside the door.
　

KERMIT
Wow.​

　
Kermit and Piggy take a few steps in and the lights flicker off.
　

HAROLD
Sorry ‘bout that.​

　
Harold gives the wall above the light switch a good smack and the lights flicker back on.

HAROLD
I have a guy comin’ in tomorrow to take care of that.
Where do you want your bags?​

　

PIGGY
Just dump ‘em on the bed.​

　
Harold dumps all the bags on the bed, including one that is too large to be either Kermit’s or Piggy’s.
　

KERMIT
This one’s not mine.​

　

PIGGY
It isn’t moi’s either.​

　

HAROLD
It’s not? Then whose is it?​

　
Harold opens the suitcase revealing a large sunhat, a flower print dress, a tea kettle, three bags of beef jerky and a taxidermy dog. Upon seeing the horrified reactions of Kermit and Piggy, Harold slams it shut again.
　

HAROLD
I…(clears throat)…well.​

　

TANYA
That must be Ms. Anderson’s other bag, dear.​

　

HAROLD
Yeah…(clears throat)…I’ll just go give it to her.​

　
Harold drags the suitcase off the bed and hurriedly shuffles out of the room.

　
　

TANYA
Enjoy your stay.​

　
Tanya leaves, shutting the door behind her. Kermit turns to Piggy.
　

KERMIT
Well, what do you think?​

　

PIGGY
I’ve stayed in better. But, as long as were together,
I can deal with them not having room service.​

　

KERMIT
That’s nice to know.​

　

CUT TO​

INT: CAR
　
Steve seems to have lightened up a bit as Bobo leads him in a game of ‘I Spy’.
　

BOBO
I spy with my little eye something that is green.​

　

STEVE
The trees?​

　

BOBO
You’re good at this. Your turn.​

　
Steve looks at Bobo out of the corner of his eye.
　

STEVE
I spy with my little eye something that is brown.​

　
Bobo looks around for something brown.
　

BOBO
Let’s see…is it the trees?
　
STEVE
No.​

　

BOBO
Is it the upholstery?​

　

STEVE
No.​

　
Steve is getting a kick out of this. He hide his sly smile when Bobo suddenly jumps in his seat.
　

BOBO
OH! I almost forgot.​

　
Bobo starts looking through the many pockets of his jacket.
　

BOBO
I know it’s in here somewhere.​

　
Bobo finds the right pocket and pulls out a folded manila envelope.
　

BOBO
Here it is!​

　

STEVE
What is it?​

　

BOBO
Several over elaborate plans that the boss
cooked up. Wanna read ‘em?​

　

STEVE
Not while I’m driving, ya’ loon!​

　

BOBO
But I’m a bear.​

　

CUT TO​

　​

INT: HOUSE - DAY
　
CLOSE UP of the telephone on the table in the hallway as it begins to ring. From the sound to be heard the house is in utter chaos, to say the least. Animal is shouting joyously accompanied by the sound of a jingling chandelier. Crazy Harry as somehow gotten a hold of his plunger again. Feathers are flying and the smoke alarm is going off. A shrieking Beaker rushes by, his eyes alight and his hair on fire. There is a loud CRASH as Fozzie runs in.
　

FOZZIE
Beauregard! Get the broom!​

　​

Gonzo runs in after him.

　
　
GONZO
He can’t!​

　

FOZZIE
Why not?​

　

GONZO
His head is stuck in the banister!​

　
A new noise joins the cacophony:
　

BEAUREGARD
Help! Get me out of here!​

　

FOZZIE
Well, get some butter, or a saw, or something
and get him out!​

　
Fozzie wipes his brow with his tie and answers the phone.
　

FOZZIE
Muppets’ residence, Fozzie Bear speaking.​

　

KERMIT
(Over phone)
Hi, Fozzie.​

　

FOZZIE
Kermit!​

　
Fozzie looks around nervously as though he believes Kermit can see through the phone before leaning on the table real casual like and continuing his conversation.
　

FOZZIE
So, how’s Puerto Rico?​

　

KERMIT
(Over phone)
It’s really beautiful…​

　

CUT TO​

INT: HOTEL ROOM
Kermit is seated at the table. The sound of running water can be heard, as can Miss Piggy singing in the shower.

KERMIT
(CONT’D)
…I wish you could be here to see it.​

　

FOZZIE
(Over phone)
Just make sure you take a lot of pictures.​

　

KERMIT
We don’t have a camera.​

　

FOZZIE
(Over phone)
Oh, right.​

　

ROBIN
(Over phone)
Is that Uncle Kermit?
　
FOZZIE
(Over phone)
Yes it is and I…​

　
Over the phone suddenly comes the sound of a motor revving. Kermit looks a little shocked to hear it.
　

FOZZIE
(Shouting, over phone)
I didn’t mean the chainsaw!​

　

KERMIT
Fozzie, what was that?​

　

FOZZIE
(Casually, over phone)
Just the lumberjack. How are you doing?​

　

KERMIT
I’m fine. Piggy’s getting a shower and then
we’re going out to dinner.​

　

FOZZIE
(Trying to remain calm, over phone)
Yeah, uh-huh, listen, Kermit, it’s getting late
and I need to get up bright and early for
another day of doing absolutely nothing that will
destroy the house. So I…(Shouts)​

　
The chainsaw is heard revving again and there is a sudden CLUNK and Fozzie’s panicked shouts fade. Then comes the sound of someone else picking the phone up.
　

ROBIN
(Over phone)
Hi, Uncle Kermit!​

　

KERMIT
Hello, Robin! How are you?​

　

CUT TO​

INT: HOUSE
　
The situation has not improved. There is now a cloud of smoke hanging in the air and Animal runs rampant, having somehow gotten his hands on the chainsaw.
　

ROBIN
I’m great…given the circumstances.​

　

KERMIT
(Over phone)
Listen, Robin, I need you to do something for me while I’m here.​

　

ROBIN
What’s that?​

　

KERMIT
(Over phone)
Make sure I have a home to come home to.​

　

ROBIN
I’ll do my best.​

　
There is an explosion and the ever resilient octopus whizzes over Robin’s head, closely followed by The Swedish Chef and his arsenal.
　

ROBIN
But I’m not sure my best is good enough.​

　
A terrified Chef, octopus and Animal run by again closely followed by the renegade chainsaw.




A note to the readers of this:

Starting this Thanksgiving I'm going to start posting a Muppet Christmas special, at the moment titled:

"The Muppet Christmas Show!"

So, if you like this, keep an eye out for that (and part 8 (and my missing sneaker)).​

 

[mbmfrog]

Well I know when I'm wrong and you proved it to me.

Great update chapter and nice way of showing that when the Frog is away the rest of the Muppets will play. However, let hope that they can keep the house in one piece before Kermit gets back.

I loved Bobo, simple and often naive Bobo, a real laugh for a serious moment.

Please do keep up the good work upon such a great story as I also can't wait for your Christmas story.

 

[Scooterthegofer]

Hmm... I know I saw a sneaker somewhere... I'll check.

 

[Muppetfan44]

Great update. excited to see what's coming next! Post more soon!
