Together again

- Thank you very much.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

- They like it!

- They love it!

They're still applauding. Kermy,

you have to go out and take a bow.

- Yeah.

- Take a bow.

Go.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, uh... I really don't know

what to say except, uh...

Well, we're really glad

you liked Manhattan Melodies...

because we all worked so hard to make it

the best Senior Variety Show ever.

Hey, Kermit, next time

we'll see you on Broadway!

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

That's a great idea. Why don't we

take Manhattan Melodies to New York?

What?

Broadway'd be dying to get

a great musical like this.

Broadway?

We'd just like to thank everybody

for having so much faith in us.

It's not often that a frog

and a bear and a pig...

and a chicken and a whatever

even get accepted into college.

We're all so proud to be

graduating now, some with honors...

Woman! Woman!

Some with the help of

daily psychological counseling.

Anyway, anyway,

thank you again.

Thank you for everything, guys.

Thank you. Yeah. Thank you.

- Broadway?

- Yeah!

But this show's not

good enough for Broadway.

The script needs work. I think

there's something missing.

Remember you said we could not

get married until we had enough money?

Yeah.

Well, we'd have enough

if we had a hit on Broadway.

- That's right.

- Yes, yes.

Broadway of what city?

Aw, come on. Come on.

Even if the show was good enough,

we're just graduating.

What about our future plans?

- Well, this could be our future.

- Yeah! Yeah!

If we don't do it, we just

say good-bye to each other.

- Oh.

- Broadway! Broadway, Broadway!

What are we waiting for?

Let's go to Broadway!

- Yeah! Yeah!

- Broadway!

- New York!

- Look at everything there!

- We made it, guys.

- We're really here.

What a great-looking place.

It's filled with New Yorkers.

Look at 'em all.

Look how gorgeous everything is.

We'd better dump our stuff

and find a place to stay.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Okay, Scooter, break out the quarters.

- Yes, sir.

You all right down there?

How about up there?

- What do you think, guys?

- What?

- I say, how do you like it?

- Oh, it's great.

Much better than that cement

mixer I used to live in.

I'll trade with anyone

that has a Jacuzzi.

Come on.

It's just for one day.

- We'll all be on Broadway tomorrow.

- Yeah.

- We'd like to see Mr. Price.

- Do you have an appointment?

No, but we saw his name in the paper.

We've got this show...

called Manhattan Melodies he's gonna

want to produce on Broadway.

It's about a couple of kids that

come to New York City to get married.

It has a wonderful opening

number. It goes like this.

Hold it. Hold it.

What's going on out there?

Just a frog

with a musical, Mr. Price.

Musical? Send him in.

Net. I'm talking net.

You've gotta be kidding with gross.

- Nice upholstery.

- Hold it a minute. I'll get back to you.

Mr. Price, I'm Kermit,

and these are my friends.

We've got a show called

Manhattan Melodies...

we think you're gonna

want to produce on Broadway.

It's about a couple of kids that come

to New York City to get married.

It opens with a great number

that goes like this.

Look at me

Here I am...

Frog. Frog.

No singing, okay?

- Give me the general idea.

- It's all about life in the big city.

Big city, huh? Cops? Shootings?

Car chases? That kind of thing?

No shooting stuff.

It's more like songs and dances.

- Songs and dances?

- Mm-hmm.

That might be interesting.

Nobody cares about

shootings anyway.

What are you thinking about?

Big-name stars?

We're gonna be the stars.

That's what I was about to say.

You be the stars.

Unknowns...

songs, dances, shootings.

- No. No shootings.

- Uh-uh.

You know what?

I smell something.

Why does everyone

always blame dogs?

- What I smell is a hit.

- A what?

- A hit.

- You mean...

Absolutely. I'd be proud

to produce your show.

Fellas, you're gonna

be on Broadway.

- Oh, oh, oh.

- Kermit, we did it!

We did it!

Thanks a lot, Mr. Price. I really

would like you to read the script.

- There's still something missing.

- No, Frog, Frog.

We fix all those things in the previews.

I've got a million things to do.

Call the papers, rent a theater,

and all I need from you is $300.

- Three hundred dollars?

- Yeah. Apiece.

- Apiece?

- Today. Yeah.

What?

Look, fellas, that's

standard Broadway procedure.

You give me the money, and we start

the rehearsals tomorrow.

- But we don't have...

- I don't think that's right.

Yeah, now I smell something.

- Fellas...

- Mr. Price.

There are two police officers outside.

They'd like to speak to you.

That's him.

That's Murray Plotsky.

I gave him my life savings.

Murray? I thought

his name was Martin.

Let's go, Murray. You've

pulled your last con job.

I don't want any trouble.

Get back or the chicken gets it.

- That's a threat?

- Please don't hurt her! Take me!

Whatever you say, pal!

Get away from that door.

Move!

Let go!

Let go of my nose!

Watch it! You too!

Bad man!

Easy!

Bad man!

Back!

Get this chicken off my ear!

Take it off my ear!

Take it off! Oh!

Get it off!

Get it off my ear!

Bad man! Bad man!

- Way to go, everybody.

- Where were you when I needed you?

- Murray?

- Animals! You're crazy... all of you!

I want my money back!

Gonzo, are you okay?

I just saw my whole life

flash before my nose.

Camilla!

She's hyperventilating!

She needs mouth-to-beak

resuscitation!

Kermit, he never wanted our show.

He just wanted our money.

- Yeah.

- Gonzo, is Camilla all right?

Yeah, but I think we're engaged.

Come on, everybody.

We're gonna get this show on Broadway!

- Right!

- Yeah, let's go, guys!

You can't take no for an answer

You can't take no

You can't take no

No, no, no

Whenever there's a dream

worth a-dreamin'

And you wanna see that dream come true

There'll be plenty of people talkin'

Say forget all about it

All the trouble

- You can't take no for an answer

- You can't take no

- You can't take no for an answer

- No, no, no, no

You can't take no for an answer

What ya gonna do

And the world's

You gotta hang on to
