  • Miss Piggy : Methinks thou doth protest too much.

    Kermit : What?

    Miss Piggy : Shakespeare.

    Kermit : Sounds more like Bacon. From a ham.

    Miss Piggy : How would you like a pork chop? Hi-yah!

    [karate chops Kermit] 

    Miss Piggy : You always hurt the one you love.

  • Miss Piggy : But I love him.

    Rowlf : How could you love him? You're a nurse.

    Miss Piggy : That may be true, but I am a woman first.

    Rowlf : No, you're not. You're a pig first. Nurse second. I don't think woman made the top 10.

  • [the Swedish Chef is cooking, Miss Piggy appears] 

    Miss Piggy : I'm looking for Foofoo! Foofoo my dog, you idiot!

    Swedish Chef : [cooking hot dogs, misunderstands]  The dog is in the pot!

  • Miss Piggy : [as Nurse Piggy]  It's too late, Doctor Bob. We've lost him.

    Rowlf : [as Doctor Bob]  Well, he couldn't have gone far. He was under the sheet just a second ago.

  • Robot Kermit : Hey, listen you, how about you and me getting together and makin' some ste-e-e-am heat. Huh, snuggle bunny?

    Miss Piggy : Snuggle bunny? Why, uh...

    Robot Kermit : Yeah. Look, let me take you away from all this. Aaah, a marriage made in heaven. A frog and a pig. We can have bouncing baby figs.

  • Fozzie : Kermit. Kermit. This time I have really got it. I have re-mastered the art of handling hecklers.

    Kermit : Oh, you think so, huh?

    Fozzie : Oh, I know so. I know so.

    Kermit : OK, I tell you what - you tell a joke and I will heckle you.

    Fozzie : Great.

    Kermit : But, Fozzie - I expect a great comeback.

    Fozzie : Right.

    [clears throat] 

    Fozzie : Ahh, my cousin's so dumb he thinks Eggs Benedict's a mafia gangster.

    Kermit : I've seen cheeseburgers funnier then that.

    [Fozzie pounds Kermit with a rubber chicken] 

    Fozzie : What do you think, huh? Too subtle?

  • Fozzie : Hey, did you hear the one about the kangaroo that comes into a store, and a hippopotamus comes out and he says to the kanga

    [curtains close] 

    Fozzie : HEY I WASN'T FINISHED!

  • Kermit : [the phone rings]  Fozzie, will you get that?

    Kermit : Fozzie, who was that?

    Fozzie : [Coughing]  The fire department.

    Kermit : [Towards the camera]  I think this is what's called a running gag.

    [At that the Muppet Newsman runs by towards the stage] 

    Fozzie : [Pointing at him]  No, THAT'S what's called a running gag.

  • Fozzie : [Phone rings]  I'll get it!
