Muppets Most Wanted

Synopsis: Flush with their revival's success, Kermit the Frog and his friends are approached by Dominic Badguy to go on a world tour. Unknown to them, this is all part of the sinister plan of Constantine, the world's most evil frog, to become the greatest thief of all time. After making sure that Kermit is jailed as himself, Constantine impersonates him to use the Muppets' tour as cover for his scheme. While Sam the Eagle and Inspector Jean Pierre Napoleon investigate, the Muppets find their boss seems strangely changed even as Kermit desperately attempts to escape to stop the impostor. Only when Walter, Fozzie and Animal realize the truth is there a chance to prevent Constantine from pulling off the crime of the century.

And cut!

- Wow. That was so amazing!

- Walter, you did a wonderful job.

Thank you, Kermit. Did we get that?

- We got it.

- We got it, yup.

Movie's over, people.

Go home. That is a wrap.

Okay, nice work, everyone.

Make sure to fill out your I-9s,

and we'll see you on the next one.

So... What do we do now?

Well, we're together again.

We got the theater

and all our fans are back.

Yeah!

Actually, those were extras.

I saw a few tapping their toes.

Yeah, those were paid dancers.

Or...

Maybe since we're all here,

now could be the perfect time

for you and me to tie the knot, Kermie!

Well, I mean, maybe I could.

Hey, what's the camera still doing here?

Oh, no. Disaster!

That can only mean one thing.

Doggone it, you're right!

It looks like they've ordered a sequel.

We're doing a sequel

We're back by popular demand

Come on, everybody,

strike up the band!

We're doing a sequel

That's what we do in Hollywood

And everybody knows

That the sequel's never quite as good

A sequel

Another feature attraction

Places, please

Light the lights

Roll camera, "Action!"

I thought it was the end

But no, my friends, this is when

We get to do it all again!

Do it all again

Until the credits roll

We got another go to show them

We can do it all again!

We're doing a sequel

There's no need to disguise

The studio considers us

a viable franchise

We're doing a sequel

The studio wants more

While they wait for Tom Hanks

To make Toy Story 4!

I thought it was the end

But no, my friends, this is when

We get to do it all again!

Do it all again!

Until the credits roll

We've got another go to show them

We can do it all again!

We're doing a sequel

Let's give it a go

With Hollywood stars

And more one-liner cameos

We're doing a sequel

I don't mean to be a stickler

But this is the seventh sequel

To our original motion picture

We're doing a sequel

Let's give it a shot

All we need now is a half-decent plot

Got it. An epic love story

between a very handsome,

long-nosed purple thing

and a beautiful chicken.

Gonzo with the Wind.

Does anybody have any other ideas?

It's about getting the Muppets

back together again

to stop an evil oil baron

from demolishing the old studio!

Fozzie, did you even

watch our last film?

It's about a frog

who marries a beautiful, perfect pig.

And they have to kiss each other a lot!

I don't think Americans

watch subtitled films.

Kermit, how about the Muppets

go on a world tour?

That's perfect!

I thought it was the end

But no, my friends, this is when

We get to do it all again!

Until the credits roll

We've got another go to show them

We can do it all again!

We're doing a sequel

It's more of the same

Let's give it a name

How about The Muppets Again?

It's the Muppets again

with The Muppets Again

It's the

Muppets

Again!

- Okay?

- I'm okay!

Okay!

Enema-boomed.!

Hey! Pepperoni!

Come on!

Let's dance.

It's time to light the lights.

Muppet news flash.

Constantine, the world's

most dangerous frog,

has escaped from

a maximum security gulag

in Siberia, Russia.

This move

has leapfrogged Constantine

to the number one

most wanted criminal in the world,

one place ahead

of the mysterious Lemur.

Wow.

Thanks for seeing me

at my regular booth, Muppets.

Big fan. Huge.

Dominic. International tour manager.

"Dominic Badguy"?

It's pronounced "Bad-gee." It's French.

It means "good man."

Oh, yes.

Listen up.

You're hot. You're having a moment.

But what is inevitable

about a moment? it ends.

I don't want this moment to end!

That's why we got to get out there now

and capitalize on this moment

with a capital yeah?

I want you to conquer the world.

Do an international tour.

Show a global audience

what you can do.

Yeah, that sounds great

but I'm just not sure...

Wait a second, guys, listen.

I'd love to do that, too.

But we've barely gotten back together.

We don't want to mess that up.

Okay, I am inundated with

offers of management at the moment.

One Direction, U2, Cirque du Soleil.

Just some of the acts I can list.

Wow, that's a good list!

And now,

I wanna tour manage you guys.

I know you're the boss, Kermit.

I wouldn't interfere with that.

We would share our managerial roles

because you've got a special

bond with these little guys.

Sure.

President Clinton?

What?

I'm on my way, Number Two.

Great, they're taking the bait.

- Well, he seems like a nice guy.

- Yeah.

Humble and honest.

I just... I think we have

to get settled first, you know?

Hone the show, get some new material,

and then maybe go on a world tour.

See you in Berlin.

Yes. Auf Wiedersehen,

Number Two.

So...

What's it gonna be, Muppets?

Ready to be world famous?

No pressure, but I am a very busy man.

That's Rihanna.

I really should take this.

World tour! World tour!

Well, I mean...

I guess we could always hone our acts

on the road, and that would be okay.

Wouldn't it, Kermit?

World tour! World tour!

Come on, froggy!

Okay, let's do it.

Dominic, you're hired.

Thanks, Kermit. I mean, boss.

You won't regret this.

Is everybody here? Yeah?

Okay, guys, guys.

Get them up and move them out.

All aboard, Dominic.

I didn't know there was still third class.

Third class? How about no class?

Watch the heels!

Piggy. Why do you need

so much luggage?

For our honeymoon, of course!

For our what?

Let's go, guys!

That must be reverse.

Oh, well. This way looks good, too.

Okay, Dominic, I thought we could start

our world tour in London.

Or how about

the world capital of comedy?

Berlin, Germany.

Germany!

Was that supposed to happen?

You guys are gonna love this place.

Okay, here we are, guys.

The Hole in the Wall Club!

"Die

Looks like they put the reviews up early.

Yeah, or is that the suggestion box?

"Hole in the Wall Club"?

More like "Hole in the Ground Club."

Okay, everybody.

So, we'll start at the bottom

and work our way up.

I've booked us

into cabaret bars and coffee houses

all across the industrial cities

of Northern Germany.

Dusseldorf, Hamburg,

Mudburg, Vomitdorf.

Poopenburgen'?

Fozzie, we have a solid week

booked in Poopenburgen.

This looks great.

And I think we should

commend Kermit on his efforts.

Thank you, Dominic. Thanks.

Or, if I might be so bold,

maybe we could consider

another venue.

Another venue?

To be precise, this other venue.

Look at that theater!

What? No, no.

We don't have the money

to rent the Berlin National Theatre!

We'll make our money back

when we sell it out.

Kermie, I've always dreamed

of playing the Berlin National Theatre.

"Ich bin ein Berliner."

More like, "Ein frankfurter"!

Watch it, buster.

Guys, I'm not sure

we can do this, you know?

Okay, let's put this to the vote.

All those in favor

of believing in ourselves,

raise your hands.

That's not what I'm saying.

And all those in favor of just giving up.

I can't believe I'm voting for giving up.

Good. Well, I'm glad

we made this decision.

Wonderful!

So cool!
