PLOT: Fozzie realizes that he is a distant relative of William Shakespeare, and discovers a lost script to a play that Shakespeare wrote. Bunsen & Beaker create the Text-to-Life machine which transports anybody to any form of literature or script. When Animal is let loose, he takes the script with him, and pushes the button, transporting the Muppets' into characters of the script.
THE MUPPET'S GRAB THE SPEARE
Ext.- Backstage at the Muppet Theater
KERMIT is sitting at his desk, as a few whatnots pass him. Upstairs on the balcony of the backstage where the dressing rooms are, resides the SWEDISH CHEF having a discussion with a PENGUIN (It's not heard just seen), the backstage still looks the same as the original Muppet Show series. FOZZIE BEAR rushes from his dressing room to Kermit holding a huge stack of papers.
Kermit & Sam both look at each other, as the whatnot disappears.

(slams stack of papers on Kermit's desk. Dust blows on Kermit's face as he coughs)
I forgot to show you this! My Ma told me that I am a distant relative of, get this, WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE.

Kermit looks at Fozzie with a smirk.
KERMIT

FOZZIE

SAM
(interupts Fozzie)
Excuse me Fozzie, ahem, how do you know what his signature looks like hmm?
(shifts eyes)
FOZZIE
It has his name in some really curly looking thing, of course!

Kermit & Sam both grunt. All of a sudden a WHATNOT pops up with a British accent.
WHATNOT
Actually Mr. Bear is correct! This play was Sir William's last masterpiece, all though it has been lost for so many years!

Bunsen grabs a large book and throws it in with Beaker as he shuts the door, the lights turn off, and the machine shakes, the machine door opens as Beaker flies out (with a green hat and suit.)
BEAKER

Floyd then walks up next to Fozzie and pats him on the back, while he holds his bass on his other hand.
FLOYD
What's wrong man?
Fozzie starts singing a blues song about how nobody believes him and he feels like a fool. The instruments are backed by Floyd, Janice, Animal and Zoot. He ends the song handing the Shakespeare script to Floyd. As Fozzie walks away.
JANICE

FLOYD
