The next morning the Muppets got up, ate breakfast, and left. The Electric Mayhem bus pulled right next to the building where Ed Zwellen's office was. Sweetums, being to big and all, rode on top of the bus.
The Muppets hopped out of the bus and went inside the building. The building was full of people. Towards the left was several televisions mounted in the wall where people were watching the stock market. Also were a few small businesses by the television screens. To the right and behind the reception desk were 8 elevators. They walked up to a lady, about 30 in age, at the reception desk.
"Can I help you?" asked the woman at the reception desk.
"Ed Zwellen's office please." asked Kermit.
"Do you have an appointment." questioned the lady.
"No, not exactly." said Kermit.
"I'm sorry but Mr. Zwellen is busy. You have to call and make an appoitment with him." said the woman.
Sweetums finaly walked inside the building. He joined his friends. The woman at the reception desk looked at Sweetums, frightened of him.
"Um, is he with you?" asked the lady who was refering to Sweetums.
"Yes he is." said Kermit.
"Will he get angry?" questioned the woman.
"Only if you don't let us get to Zwellen's office. He can get quite fussy if he doesn't get his way." Kermit responded.
"He's on the 57th floor." said the lady.
"Why thank you." said Kermit.
The muppets walked past the lady and headed towards the elevators, except for Pepe.
"Say miss, are you single? Because Pepe would like to take you out to dinner and possibly get to know you a little more intimately if you get my drift, okay? said Pepe.
"Pepe!!!" yelled Kermit. "Stop seducing women!"
"Gotta go, but think about what I said. I'll be back for you later." Pepe said.
The woman looked at Pepe and shook her head.
"So how'd it go?" asked Clifford.
"Oh she wants me. They all want a piece of Pepe." exclaimed Pepe.
"You're a pretty sick prawn, you know that don't you?" said Clifford.
Some of the Muppets got in one elevator and the others got in another elevator. They all headed to the 57th floor.
Back in Zwellen's office, the Electric Mayhem were in a meeting with Zwellen.
"You want us to do what?" questioned Dr. Teeth.
"Country rap. It's pretty hot with the young crowd." exclaimed Zwellen.
"Country rap is hip? Man I must be getting old." Floyd remarked.
"No way we're going to do this thing." said Lips. "We don't sing that stuff."
"Well whether you like it or not, you're going to sing it." said Zwellen.
"Why because we're under a contract?" yelled a furious Dr. Tetth.
"Yes you are. You're under my contract and you do exactly what I tell you to do." Zwellen yelled back at Dr. Teeth.
"Like this is a total drag." said Janice. "It was bad enough when we couldn't sing at the Muppet theater but at least when we did Kermit would let us sing out songs when he got around to us."
"If you want to get out of this you can, but you have to go to jail for breech of contract." Zwellen added.
"Oh man, that's heavy." said Floyd.
"I think I need to go back to sleep. This whole reality thing ain't working for me." Zoot said.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!" yelled a frustrated Animal.
"You better get your drummer away from me." said Zwellen.
Meanwhile, Kermit and company arrived on the 57th floor. They got out of the elevator and walked towards Zwellen's office only to be stopped by Bryan and Ryan, Zwellen's two goons.
"Stop right there." demanded Bryan.
"You're not supposed to be up here. We're calling security." said Ryan.
Piggy got an idea. She walked up and tried to play cool with the two assistants.
"Oh boys, it seems to me you've been working too hard in this big ol office." said Piggy trying to seduce Bryan and Ryan. "Why don't you take the day off and take me somewhere and spoil me."
"Ughhh...spoil you, a pig?" said Bryan
"What we need to do is spoil you with a diet. You're looking flabby around the stomach." added Ryan.
"You two are in big, big trouble." said Kermit.
"I'd run for my life if I were you." added Scooter.
Piggy got angry and karate chopped and "hi yaaad" Bryan and Ryan to the other side of the office. Both men hit the wall.
"Nobody tells me to lose weight." Piggy remarked.
Back at Zwellen's office as the converstation continues....
"Get Animal away from you? He's not going to do anything." said Janice.
"What are you going to do, sue us if he bites you?" Dr. Teeth yelled at Zwellen.
"I'd pin you 6 down to the floor so hard that it would take 50 years before you have a parole hearing." Zwellen said.
Suddenly Zwellen's doors slammed open.
"Nobody talks to my friends that way." said an angry Kermit.
The band couldn't believe that Kermit and the rest of the Muppets were right there.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Kermit the frog." remarked Zwellen. "There is nothing you can do for your friends. They're mine now."
"That's the same kind of nonsense you told me when I was working for you." Rowlf said.
Everybody looked at Rowlf. They couldn't believe he had worked for Zwellen.
"Rowlf the dog. I should have known you'd be here." remarked Zwellen.
"Rowlf, you worked for Zwellen." asked Dr. Teeth.
"Unfortunately I did." replied Rowlf. "It was 1990, when everything went bad for us. I decided to take the time to explore other things so I decided to work with Zwellen at Cartier records to get new singers and bands under the label."
"That explains why you told me you wanted to have a cameo in the Muppet Christmas Carol and in Muppet Treasure Island." said Kermit.
"Hold on a minute, there were two Muppet movies after the Manhatten movie? I always thought Muppets From Space was the first movie after the Manhatten movie." said Scooter. "Why did somebody not tell me this?"
"Yeesh, we'll save that discusion for another time." said Kermit.
"Along with the dreadful Muppets From Space movie discussion." added Piggy.
"I tell you that movie was a classic!" Gonzo said trying to give his opinion.
"Uh guys, like we're in the middle of something here." said Janice.
"Sorry Janice." said Piggy and Gonzo.
"And I thought I said useless things that did not add to the plot of the story, like people taking pictures of me naked in the back of alleys." said Janice.
The Muppets looked at Janice.
"Like sorry!" Janice said.
Rowlf continued with his story.
"That is also why I wasn't in Muppets Tonight either. I was busy here." Rowlf said.
"What Happened." Kermit said.
"Why did you quit Rowlf?" asked Floyd.
"I got tired of Zwellen's attitude. It wasn't about trying to find good talent anymore. It was about money and not quality and whoever could sell the most records would be a star despite having songs that were horrible, to me anyway." said Rowlf. "He couldn't do anything to me since I wasn't under contract, so I walked out."
"What a great story. Glad I could be apart of it. But if you please, get out of my office now. My band and I were having a meeting." Zwellen said.
Bryan and Ryan came running in the office and stood right next to Zwellen.
"Boys, call security up here. I want these things thrown in jail." said Zwellen.
At the same time, Harry had wrapped explosives around Zwellen, Bryan, and Ryan. Kermit looked at Harry and nodded.
"Harry do your thing." Kermit replied.
Suddenly Harry blasted Zwellen, Bryan, and Ryan, out of the office.
"Where'd you send them Harry." questioned Kermit.
"Some place very far." Harry responded.
"Evil men go bye bye! said Animal.
Kermit then turned his attention to Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.
"Dr. Teeth, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that i couldn't get you guys into the show. I'm sorry I treated you all badly. I should have known better." said Kermit.
"Kermit's regretted his decision ever since. He's been depressed and even quit the show." said Piggy.
"Dr. Teeth, Floyd, Janice, Zoot, Lips, Animal, I can't undo the mistakes I made in the past. I can only learn from them, move on, and improve so that I don't repeat those mistakes again." said Kermit. "I can't guarantee you'll be in every show, but I will make you room for you guys. You will be in the show playing your own music and doing what you guys do best, which is rocking the audience to your music. What do you say?"
Kermit put his hand out asking for forgiveness. Dr. Teeth looked at the band. they all nodded.
"Looks like we're back." exclaimed Dr. Teeth.
Dr. Teeth shook Kermits hand and then hugged him. Sam looked over at Bean.
"You can say it now." Sam said to Bean.
"Awww, how cute." Bean replied.
"Thanks for coming for us." whispered Dr. Teeth.
"I had to get the rest of my family back." Kermit whispered back to Dr. Teeth.
And with that the Muppets got out of the office. They exited the building and approached the Mayhem bus.
"Our bus? Why is it parked here." questioned Floyd.
"We got a call saying that the bus was at the dump." said Fozzie.
"Zwellen that rat. He said the bus will be in the parking lot for us to use if we wanted to ride in it when we're not in the limo." said Dr. Teeth.
"At least he didn't take my saxaphone to the dump. My precious saxaphone." Zoot said while holding on to his saxaphone tightly.
Everybody looked at Zoot.
"Okay I'll stop watching those Lord of the ring movies. Geez..." exclaimed Zoot.
"Come on doc, let's get in the bus and take us home." Kermit said.
"Easier done then said frog." Dr. Teeth joked.
And with that, the Muppets got on the bus and Dr. Teeth drove everybody back to the boarding house.
As for Zwellen, Bryan and Ryan, they finally came falling down in a field. They gathered themselves and looked around and saw several Lions around them.
"Ahhh!! Nice kitty." said Bryan.
"Do any of you want to negotiate a contract?" asked Zwellen.
"I think we're dead." said Ryan.
And with that, we leave Zwellen, Bryan and Ryan with the lions.
The next night, the Muppets were putting on another show at the theater. Kermit walked out on stage.
"Hi ho and welcome again to the Muppet show. We have got a great show lined up for you tonight." Kermit said happily. "And this is a special show because our special guest stars tonight are the Electric Mayehm!"
The audience clapped and cheered.
"So let's get things started with.......Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, yaaaa!!!!!!!!" screamed a thrilled Kermit.
The curtains rose up to reveal the Electric Mayhem. The play "Hello Goodbye" by the Beatles.
"You say yes, I say no.
You say stop and I say go go go, oh no.
You say goodbye and I say hello." sang Dr. Teeth.
"Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello." sang Janice.
"I say high, you say low.
You say why and I say I don't know, oh no.
You say goodbye and I say hello." sang Floyd.
"Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say goodbye." Sang Floyd.
"(Hello goodbye hello goodbye)
(Hello goodbye)
(Hello goodbye hello goodbye)
(Hello goodbye)
(Hello goodbye)" sang Zoot who overlaps with Floyd and the lyrics he sang.
Animal has a drum beak and plays the drums.
"Why why why why why why do you say goodbye goodbye, oh no?" sang Lips.
"You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello." sang Dr. Teeth.
"You say yes" sang Floyd.
"(I say yes)." sang Zoot who overlaps with Floyd.
"I say no." sang Floyd.
"(But I may mean no). sang Zoot who overlaps with Floyd.
"You say stop." sang Floyd.
"(I can stay)" sang zoot still overlapping with Floyd.
"And I say go go go." sang Floyd.
"(Till it's time to go oh)." sang Zoot overlapping with Floyd.
"Oh no." sang Floyd.
"You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello." sang Janice.
"Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello." sang Lips.
"Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hellooohohohooohohohooo." sang Dr. Teeth.
Suddenly the lights went off for a few seconds. The lights then went back on to reveal all the Muppets with the Electric Mayhem.
"Hela heba helloa
Hela heba helloa, cha cha cha
Hela heba helloa, wooo
Hela heba helloa, hela
Hela heba helloa, cha cha cha
Hela heba helloa, wooo
Hela heba helloa, cha cah cah." sang all the Muppets.
The song ended and the audience clapped and cheered including Statler and Waldorf.
