Kermit: It's The Muppet Show with our special guest star, Sir Paul McCartney! YAAAAAYY!
(theme plays.
STATLER AND WALFORF'S PART
Statler: How much longer can we take this?
then Gonzo slips and falls before he can blow his Trumpet.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(applause)
Kermit: Thank you, Thank you. Hi Ho and welcome again to The Muppet Show. Tonight we have an amazing show lined up for you all.
Statler: You say that every week.
Waldorf: Yeah, when can you get off the stage?
Both: DO HO HO.
Kermit: Good grief. Anyway, tonight is one of the biggest shows that we have ever had. In our opinion at least because tonight, we have the Former Beatle himself and lead singer of Wings, Sir Paul McCartney!

Kermit: Someone call an ambulance.
Paul: Is she alright?
Kermit: I'm sure she is. With meeting someone so famous as you, there's no way she wouldn't faint.
Paul: Come over here Kermit.
(he walks to where Paul is)
Paul: A lot of teenage girls used to faint when I was with The Beatles.
Kermit: I'm sure some still do to this day.
Paul: I'm sure.
Kermit: No one has fainted from meeting me yet.
(A whatnot comes over, looks at Kermit, and then faints)
