  Pops : Very popular choice.

• Pops : [banging on bathroom door]  Hey! What's goin' on in there? Lotta folks out here need to use the restroom!

  Kermit : Well, we're developing these pictures, we'll be out as soon as we finish. We're trying to catch a jewel thief.

  Fozzie : A jewel thief!

  Pops : Well, catch him in another room, people are dancing up and down on one leg out here!

• Fozzie : [shouting]  Hold it!

  Fozzie : [the room grows quiet]  Sha-ame on you! I thought we were in this thing together. I'm just as scared as you are, but this has to be done! We don't want the bad guys to win. We gotta do this,. for- for- for justice! For freedom! For honesty!

  Pops : Me, too. I feel like two cents.

  Rowlf : I'm back in.

  Dr. Bunsen Honeydew : You can count on me!

  Floyd : [with a mix of sarcasm and sincerity]  Oh, hey, I was only joking. Yeah, it'll be a lot of fun to go out there and risk our lives.

  Fozzie : Peanut butter?

  Floyd : Animal ate it.

  Animal : Sorry!

• Kermit : Now, we're about to embark on a potentially dangerous mission. There could be physical violence, there could be gunplay, and there is the slightest chance that somebody might even get killed. So if anybody wants out, now is the time to say it.

• Fozzie : [sighs]  It was nice of the Chronicle to pay for our flight home.
