Quotes

The Newsman : Here is a Muppet News Flash. An international spy ring is trying to sneak ridiculous stories into the news. Fortunately, with the tight security in the Muppet Newsroom, it can't happen here.
[picks up another paper]
The Newsman : In other news, a black-and-yellow-striped mackerel was elected king this morning and...
[stops and looks perplexed; Bruno runs up]
The Newsman : Huh?
Bruno : Yes?
The Newsman : Where have you been?
Bruno : Oh, I've been showing His Majesty around the newsroom.
[a mackerel walks up, dressed in royalty; the Newsman sees him]
The Newsman : Holy mackerel!
Mackerel : No, Your Highness will do. Would you like to be knighted?
The Newsman : Oh, well, of course.
Mackerel : Okay. Good night!
[the mackerel hits the Newsman on the head, knocking him out]

Kermit : Thank you, thank you, thank you, and welcome again to The Muppet Show! And it's going to be a wonderful show tonight, because our special guest is James Bond, secret agent 007, known secretly to his millions of fans as movie star Roger Moore!

Roger Moore : Kermit, is it always like this on the show?
Kermit : Uh, well, how do you mean?
Roger Moore : All this craziness.
Kermit : Oh, well, this is a rather quiet show for us. No unforeseen disasters so far.
[He is run over by the Vet's Hospital cast]
Janice : Hurry up, guys!
Rowlf the Dog : All right, all right, all right... I just hit the frog.
Roger Moore : Unforeseen disasters?
Kermit : Uh, uh, well, that's a disaster that we knew about all along.

Rowlf the Dog : [as Dr. Bob treating a Viking pig] I know all about them - they come from Denmark. One of my ancestors was a Viking!
Miss Piggy : Oh, this isn't going to be a Great Dane joke, is it?
Rowlf the Dog : Well, it's a Dane joke, but I wouldn't call it great.

Kermit : And as we explode gently into the West, we hope you got as big a bang out of tonight's show as we did.
