Quotes 

• Doc : [after the Muppet babies' Christmas home movie]  Aw, that was fun! Even weirdos are cute when they're babies.

  Gonzo : [rushing to Doc]  I knew you'd learn to love us!

  Doc : I didn't say that.

• Kermit : Don't you think we should've called your mother and let her know we were coming?

  Fozzie Bear : Oh, how little you understand bears, Kermit. My mother loves surprises.

  Gonzo : Well, good, 'cause she's in for a beauty.

• Dr. Bunsen Honeydew : Oh, look. There's Rowlf when he was just a wee puppy.

  Rowlf : Not so wee. I was paper-trained.

• Gonzo : [talking to the Turkey on the porch]  Listen, you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now take a walk, fly south for the winter, anything!

  Turkey : I was in-*vited* for Christmas by some guy who spoke Swedish!

  Gonzo : [mumbling]  Oh, brother.

  Turkey : He had a white chef's hat on; sounds like a nice vacation.

  Gonzo : [nodding]  Mm-hm, mm-hm, listen, that guy *is* a chef. Don't you realize it could be *very* dangerous place for turkeys around here?

  Turkey : Not to worry, I'm a survivor. Now where's my room?

  Gonzo : If you're not careful, it'll be in the oven.

  Turkey : So long, bucko.

  [panting as he heads back inside] 

  Gonzo : See you at dinner.

• Kermit : [halting Gonzo and Turkey's argument]  Hark! What do I hear?

  Gonzo : You're about to hear me make some turkey hash!

  Kermit : No, no, listen: methinks me hears carolers!

• Gonzo : Camila's MY girlfriend!

  Turkey : You've gotta be kiddin'. You're not even a bird!

  Gonzo : Well, nobody's perfect.

• Emily 'Ma' Bear : I'm afraid we're running out of room. Two of you will have to sleep on hangers on a hook on the wall.

  Gonzo : What a fabulous idea!

  Animal : Love hanger! Love hanger!

  [laughs] 

  Floyd : That's the only way Animal ever sleeps, ma'am.

• Gonzo : C'mon, put up your wings, Turkey Toes!

  Turkey : Why're you pulling my leg, Hose Nose?

• Gonzo : What a handsome little devil I was.

• Beauregard : Ooh, going to be lots of snow for me to shovel tomorrow.

  Kermit : It's getting worse and worse out there.

  Beauregard : Aren't you glad you're in here all warm and toasty?

  Kermit : I just wish Miss Piggy were.

• Fozzie Bear : Guys, this is the best idea we've had in years. Christmas at my mother's farm.

  Kermit : That was great, Fozzie, but don't you think we should've called your mother to let her know we were coming?

  Fozzie Bear : Oh, how little you understand bears, Kermit. My mother loves surprises.

  Gonzo : Good thing. She's in for beauty.

  Animal : SURPRISE! SURPRISE!
