of your positive state of mind

State of mind, state of mind

State of mind, state...state of mind

- 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

No, no, no

This is turnin' out to be

a little tougher than I thought.

Kermit, I'm not good at this.

I don't take rejection well.

Maybe we could sell the show

if you wrote in special effects...

like exploding socks.

Oh, Gonzo, like that's

a really lame idea.

- Oh, yeah?

- Hey, man, stop yellin' at her.

- He wasn't yelling.

- Yes, I was.

- Oh, Gonzo, don't make trouble.

- Fight! Fight!

Kermit, do you think

we should change the script?

Kermit, what should we do?

I don't know! How should I know?

Why are you asking me?

Can't you take care

of yourselves?

I don't know what to do next.

We failed, okay?

We tried and we failed.

Scooter, how much money

do we have left?

Enough for two nights

unless we find cheaper lockers.

Well, we have to eat.

- Why start now?

- Gonzo!

Gangway! Comin' through.

Hey, watch it, will ya?

Hey, that waiter's a rat!

I'm glad we got no money.

Now I got no appetite.

There you go.

One cheeseburger platter.

- What do you want to drink?

- Glass of milk.

I would like meat in here.

Picky! Hey, Pete,

where's the beef?

It's coming!

Got two hands only!

Okay. What'll you have?

The number for

the Board of Health.

That does it!

Another rat crack, right?

I got feelings too.

Do you think I'm doin' this as a hobby?

You wanna know what I make?

Nothing! Nothing!

I live on tips!

I work hard! I try to get tips

to feed my family and my mother.

It just isn't fair!

We understand.

We don't have any money either.

Sorry. Not my table.

What a rat!

I'll get us something to eat.

Is patty coming.

Is cow juice coming.

Rizzo, whereJenny?

May I see a menu, please?

Special today.

Yankee bean soup, with spoon.

Sorry I'm late, Pop.

Hi, Fran. How are ya?

It went longer than I thought.

You will be so proud of me.

I did great!

It was all essay questions.

No sweat. I know I passed.

Jenny, that's very good.

Is cow juice and patty for lady.

- Rizzo, I'm back.

- It's about time.

I can't handle everybody.

Take the weirdos at table four.

Which one is table four?

I wonder if Kermy meant it.

I mean, about failing.

Those producers looked at us

like we were from outer space.

What?

No, man. Go back to sleep.

Nobody's landed.

- We'll take 11 bowls, please.

- Okeydokey.

But there's just one thing.

We've got this show that's gonna be

a big hit on Broadway...

but, uh, well, uh...

right now we're all broke.

- You don't have any money?

- Not really. No.

We'd work it off.

We promise.

- Waitress!

- Coming.

Hey, I tell you what is.

Big city. Hmm?

Live. Work. Huh?

But, not city open.

Only peoples.

Peoples is peoples.

No is buildings.

Is tomatoes, uh?

Is peoples.

Is dancing. Is music.

Is potatoes.

So, peoples is peoples, okay?

Yeah.

Thanks. That helped a lot.

Where you goin'?

Aren't you gonna

wait for your soup?

But I told you.

We don't have...

I know, but I know my pop.

When he first started out in this city,

he didn't have anything either.

I bet he's back there

getting soup bowls for everybody.

Really?

With soup in them?

Uh-huh. I gotta

get back to work.

I had a test today,

so I came in late.

Yeah. I heard

you passed the test.

I hope I passed it.

It's for acceptance

into a fashion design college.

Oh, yeah? We just

graduated from college.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- My name's Jenny.

- Hi. I'm Kermit.

- Hi, Kermit. Nice to meet you.

- I'm a frog.

No, no, it...

Listen, I'm saying maybe it's time

we went out on our own.

You mean, on our own alone?

Without even each other?

The frog's right.

We do depend on him too much.

Like he feels

too responsible for us.

He'd be better off

if we left town.

I can't leave Kermit.

We're still pinned.

Maybe...

I'm sorry

I blew up outside.

But guess what.

Pete's cooking up some soup for us.

Well, what's wrong?

It's just...

We've had some job offers, right?

- Yeah! Right!

- Job offers!

Yeah!

That's great.

These job offers are...

kinda out of town, right?

- Yeah, yeah.

- They're out-of-town job offers.

- What job did I get?

- Gonzo!

Piggy, are you going too?

Well, Kermy, l...

We go bye-bye?

Kermit, we'll write to you

and let you know where we are.

Yeah, and, Kermit,

we still believe in the show.

Yeah, yeah.

Board!

Saying good-bye

Going away

Seems like good-bye's

Such a hard thing to say

Touching a hand

Wondering why

It's time for saying good-bye

Good-bye, Kermy!

Saying good-bye

Why is it sad

Makes us remember

The good times we've had

Much more to say

Foolish to try

It's time for saying good-bye

Don't want to leave

But we both know

Sometimes it's better to go

Somehow I know

We'll meet again

Not sure quite where

And I don't know just when

You're in my heart

So until then

It's time for saying good-bye

Somehow I know

We'll meet again

Not sure quite where

And I don't know just when

You're in my heart

So until then

Wanna smile

Wanna cry

Saying good-bye

It's time for saying good-bye

Look at all those people out there.

Lots of people.

But my friends...

My friends are all gone.

I'm gonna get 'em back.

I'm gonna get 'em back!

'Cause the show's not dead

as long as I believe in it.

I'm gonna sell that show,

and we're all gonna be on Broadway.

You hear me, New York?

We're gonna be on Broadway!

Because...

Because I'm not givin' up!

I'm still here and I'm stayin'!

You hear that, New York?

I'm stayin' here!

The frog is stayin'!

Rizzo, is bagel ready!

Is hominy grits ready!

- Excuse me, Pete.

- What is?

- I thought you might have work here.

- Rizzo, is ready!

Part-time so I could

keep working on the show.

What is that supposed to be?

Is grits. Hominy grits.

How should I know how many?

Count 'em yourself! Ha-ha.

- What?

- Uh, listen...

Wait! Wait! What is?

Is all morning like this.

You complain. You slow.

You no take orders.

- You lazy rat, you!

- Lazy rat? Okay! Have it your way.

I don't have to

take this abuse!

I quit!

Quit? You no can quit!

Is breakfast crowd!

All right! Don't beg. I'll stay.

But I need some help.

Okay, guys, this is it.

Don't blow it.

Pete, meet your new employees.

- Say hello to Tatooey...

- Yo!

- Masterson...

- Hello.

- Chester...

- I feel terrible!

And Yolanda!

- What a crazy body!

- Yeah.

Pete, about that job...

Wait! Is no good!

Rats want job!

Frog want job!

- What next? Penguins?

- Do you have jobs available?

- No!

- Well, excuse us for living!

Hey, Pop, everybody's

waiting for their food.

Pete, I can work nights.

Come on, Pete. Give these guys

a break, all right?

Hey, I go crazy!

- Okay, rats, you go to work.

- Yea!

Wait! Wait!

Listen. I tell you what is.
