Quotes 

• Reporter : [on TV]  After weeks of searching, Princess Diana still cannot find a nanny to take care of her two little boys.

  Piggy : Oh, poor Princess Di.

  Reporter : Informed sources say it's getting harder and harder to find a good nanny these days.

  Kids : It is?

  Reporter : Yes, it is. There just don't seem to be many good nannies around.

  Rowlf : I guess we're pretty lucky. We got the best nanny in the whole world.

  Fozzie : Maybe we could give the princess our nanny.

  Kids : Fozzie!

  Skeeter : If we do that, then we won't have a nanny anymore.

  Fozzie : Oh, yeah.

• [the kids imagine themselves in Buckingham Palace] 

  Rowlf : Hey, this place is pretty wild.

  Fozzie : Yeah, it even reminds me of a joke. What time is it when Sir Lunchalot looked at his bellybutton? It was the middle of the knight! Get it? Middle of the knight? Bellybutton? Ha ha ha!

  Piggy : [sarcastically]  Very funny, Fozzie.

  Fozzie : You really mean it? Gee, maybe I could tell it to the princess? Do you think she'll like it?

  Piggy : I certainly do not. Just don't say anything and you won't embarrass me.

• Piggy : Are you sure this alien detector of yours is gonna work, Rowlf?

  Rowlf : No problem. The minute an alien gets close, it'll start ticking faster and faster, uh, I hope.

  Piggy : Well, judging from Scooter, it looks like we'll have plenty of time to test it.

  Scooter : Come on, Piggy. I'm working as fast as I can. I've never shut off an alien spaceship computer before.

• [Rowlf's "alien detector" starts to tick very fast] 

  Rowlf : Uh-oh. Alien approaching!

  Scooter : Oh, no!

  Piggy : They're coming?

  Rowlf : Uh-huh.

  Scooter : What are we gonna do?

  [the door begins to open] 

  Scooter : Please don't hurt us, Mister... .

  [Gonzo appears] 

  Rowlf , Scooter , Piggy : Gonzo?

  Rowlf : [about his alien detector]  Hey, this thing does work!

  Piggy : I always said he was an alien.

• [Gonzo is playing tic-tac-toe with the alien leader] 

  Gonzo : Ha! I win! Now it's my question. Why are you taking away all the nannies?

  Alien Leader : Ah, we don't need the nannies. We need their socks.

  Gonzo , Rowlf , Scooter , Piggy : Their socks?

  Alien Leader : Yes. Uh, we use striped socks as fuel on our planet and we need them to power our spaceship so we can go home.

• [Gonzo's group returns] 

  Gonzo , Scooter , Rowlf , Piggy : We did it!

  Skeeter , Kermit : You did?

  [every cheers, Nanny enters with a drowsy Fozzie] 

  Nanny : What's all the commotion about, kids?

  Kids : Oh, nothing, Nanny.

  Nanny : Well, that's good because it's time for bed.

  [Nanny walks off with Animal] 

  Piggy : I can't believe it. We saved all the nannies.

  Fozzie : We did?

  Scooter : Yay!

  Kermit : And the aliens went home.

  Fozzie : They did?

  Gonzo : Uh-huh.

  Fozzie : [points to the window]  Then who's that?

  Kids : Huh?

  [everyone sees a spaceship fly by outside] 

  Kermit : Oh, no! I wonder what they want.

  Gonzo : Ooh! Maybe they're from a planet that collects shoes instead of socks!

  [everyone gasps] 

  Gonzo : Quick! Hide your shoes!
