Will you please just open the jar?

Hurry, Fozzie.

Come on, throw it!

That's disappointing.

Perfect. Somebody knock

and see if Barbie's home.

Works for me. Adis!

What?!

I cannot believe that

little shrimp left us behind!

I am not a shrimp.

I am a king prawn!

Let's go! Come on!

Hurry, hurry!

Keep going, everybody.

Don't look back. Run!

- Did you have a good time?

- Thank you.

Bye-bye, nice man.

What the heck is going on?

- We did it!

- See that?

When we pull together,

we can do anything.

Now we can go meet my alien

brothers at Cape Doom.

What makes you think that

aliens are landing there?

Oh, a sandwich told me.

Oh, no.

I'd give it a rest there, buddy.

Do you mean that you guys

still don't believe me?

Well...

All right, fine. Stop the bus.

I'll get there by myself.

No, no. Wait, Gonzo.

It doesn't matterwhat we believe.

If you believe that you need

to go and meet your alien brothers...

...then I say...

I say we're going to the beach.

Right, guys?

To the beach, okay.

To the beach.

Great!

Beach ball! Beach ball!

Get the crew to Cape Doom

on the double.

And look, this is my exclusive,

so don't tell anyone.

I got it.

Pack it up, guys! The spaceship

is landing at Cape Doom.

Where is he?

Well, I didn't overhear anything...

Did I ask you

if you overheard anything?

No, sir.

Because if you did

overhear anything...

...l'm sure you would tell me.

Yes, sir.

Or do I have to remind you...

...of Mr. Jumbo's Circus Town

and Wild Animal Revue?

Where's he going?

Oh, look.

Sunday's half price

at the petting zoo.

Okay, okay!

They're going to Cape Doom.

Good, good.

Get me the subatomic

neutro-destabilizer.

The subatomic neutro...

The really big gun.

The really big gun. Yes, sir.

The really big gun.

Really big gun.

Clip.

Clip!

Let's head for my car.

Problem there, sir.

Rememberthose parking tickets

you asked me to take care of for you?

And I said that...

Oh, just say it.

Car's impounded.

We can take my company car.

- Fine.

- Great.

66 bottles of beer on the wall

66 bottles of beer

Excuse me.

Excuse me!

Can this thing go any faster?

I'm doing 30.

You want to slow down there, buddy?

A lot of traffic tonight, sir.

Safety first.

What's with all these crazy people?

Can I help it if moi

has such devoted fans?

Gonzo! Gonzo!

All right, everybody, back off!

Make way forthe alien!

Let His Weirdness through.

Everybody be cool.

Stay back. Be cool, okay.

Get your Gonzo T-shirts right here.

Ten bucks.

Goodbye, Rainbow, and stay groovy.

Got cold.

Sure did.

Midnight. The lone alien

stands before a naked sky.

The mood is tense.

My hair looks great.

I don't believe this!

Shelley! Bonjour.

You backstabbing, underhanded

little coffee pig.

- What?

- This is my show!

My story, my microphone.

Shelley Snipes reporting.

Please ignore the little sow.

Disregard this woman. I...

What am I doing?

You are about to give me your job

and get everyone here coffee.

Oh, yes. Of course.

Right away.

I love this stuff.

How you doing?

Excuse me, buddy.

And a happy Halloween to you as well.

It's all right. Take it easy.

- Yeah, yeah.

- All right.

You don't understand.

We let him slide, and he gave us a ride.

Yeah, yeah.

I love all my new rat friends now.

Come on.

Who wants this next marshmallow?

Can you believe that?

Hey, fellas!

Look who's here over here.

It's too bad Dawson isn't here.

Tell me about it. This is like

one of his sci-fi movies.

But this is a Muppet movie.

It's much more realistic...

...and romantic, okay.

Right.

What's your deal?

Are you an alien or something?

No, baby.

Me and Gonzo are very tight.

We'll be chilling

in our hot tub later on.

Perhaps you'd like

to partake in the party.

Geeks.

All right. Don't answer right away.

We'll be here.

Oh, she'll be back.

One a.m.

The alien is still

standing overthere.

My hair still looks great.

One can only wonder...

...what Gonzo's feeling right now.

They're not coming.

Maybe they're just running late.

It's a no-show.

What?

Hey, wait a second.

I believed you, man.

I stayed up all night dancing...

...and didn't study forfinals

because of you.

I'm cold. Come on, let's go.

I'm out of here.

Look!

Boy!

They're really tiny.

But tiny's not a bad thing, right?

No. Tiny's good.

We came out here in the middle

of the night for a stupid egg?

It could be full of chocolate, okay.

Shoot it! Shoot it!

Please, Big Boss,

I never disobeyed my mother.

And I never carried the plague.

Not even once!

- Are you okay, Gonzo?

- Great. Neverfelt better.

Let the one who is called...

...Gonzo step forward.

That's me!

I'm Gonzo.

Step a little closer.

Come a little furtherforward.

Lean into the light.

There you go.

Lean in a little further.

A little further.

That's him!

Many zotons ago...

... you were lost to us.

We've come a long way looking

for you, little brother.

We know of but one way...

... to express our happiness

at having found you.

Gonzo of Earth, who is this most

entertaining friend of yours?

That's Ed.

as ambassadorto our planet.

You mean you want me to go with you?
