- [Fozzie, Kermit, and Gonzo look at what Nanny was mixing in a bowl]
- Fozzie: Gee, this must be what Nanny made for our snack.
- Kermit: Oh, what is it, Fozzie?
- Fozzie: Gosh, I don't know.
- Kermit: Let me see.
- [smells it]
- Kermit: Phew! This stuff smells bad.
- Gonzo: Oh, yeah? Heh! Let me see.
- [smells it]
- Gonzo: P.U.! What is this stuff?
- Kermit: Shh! Listen, you guys.
- Nanny: [on the phone] Uh-huh. I followed the recipe exactly, but it looks a little strange.
- Gonzo: You can say that again, Nanny.
- Kermit: Gonzo, what are you doing?
- Gonzo: Let's face it, men. We gotta get rid of that stuff.
- [gives everyone coats]
- Gonzo: Here, put these on.
- Kids: Huh?
- Scooter: Gonzo, what's this stuff for?
- Gonzo: A dangerous mission requires proper equipment, Scooter. Now suit up and follow me.
- [heads to the door]
- Gonzo: Okay, men, let's go!
- Piggy: Stop calling us men, Gonzo. Skeeter and moi are ladies.
- Gonzo: Sorry.
- [the kids imagine themselves as poor kids in the Oliver! film]
- Scooter: [after getting his gruel] Ew!
- Skeeter: [after getting her gruel] Gross!
- Animal: [after getting his gruel] Yucky.
- Fozzie: I'll have a tuna sandwich and a glass of milk, please.
- [gets served gruel]
- Fozzie: [dissatisfied] Wha? Thanks.
- Kermit: [gulps as he is getting served his gruel] Thank you.
- Rowlf: [sniffs his gruel after it is served] Man, this smells worse than yesterday.
- Piggy: [after getting her gruel] I hate this stuff.
- Mr. Bumble: WHAT?
- Piggy: Um, I said, "My plate feels rough."
- Gonzo: [after getting his gruel] Hey, kinda skimpy, isn't it? How about some more?
- Mr. Bumble: MORE?
- Gonzo: Okay, okay! Boy, what a grouch.
- [while watching the other kids eat their gruel]
- Piggy: Yuck-o! Blech! Ptu! How can they eat this stuff?
- Rowlf: Gee, Piggy, maybe if you pretend it's something you like, it won't taste so bad.
- [Rowlf pretends his food is a bowl of dog biscuits and eats it]
- Piggy: Okay. I'll pretend mine is a chocolate sundae.
- [Piggy's gruel turns into a chocolate sundae]
- Piggy: Woo-wee! It worked!
- Kermit: Hey, neat! I'll pretend mine is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
- [Kermit's food turns into a peanut butter and jelly sandwich]
- Gonzo: Wow! I'll have bologna and marshmallows on rye with pickles.
- [Gonzo's food becomes a sandwich with bologna, marshmallows, and pickles]
- Scooter: Hey, this is great! I want a bucket of ice cream!
- Nanny: Hi, kids.
- [the fantasy ends as Nanny enters the nursery with a bucket]
- Kids: Hi, Nanny.
- Skeeter: [smells the inside of Nanny's bucket] Phew! What's in the bucket, Nanny?
- Scooter: Yeah, it doesn't smell like ice cream.
- [while fleeing in their fantasy, the kids approach a man]
- Man: What's the matter, kids?
- Gonzo: [panting] Nanny's slop! It's after us!
- Man: Nanny's slop? Oh, no! Head for the hills!
- [a crowd of people run away screaming]
- Man #2: It's Nanny's slop!
- Nanny: Okay, kids. Dinner's ready.
- Kids: Uh-oh.
- Nanny: And I have a special surprise for you.
- Gonzo: I-Is it in that bowl, Nanny?
- Nanny: Why, yes it is, Gonzo.
- Gonzo: That's what I was afraid of.
- Nanny: And as a special treat, we're going to have a picnic right here in the nursery.
- Fozzie: Gee, I wonder why we're eating in here.
- Rowlf: Are you kidding? Probably won't be able to walk after we eat this crud.
- Fozzie: Oh.
- Scooter: Well, at least we don't have to worry about picnic ants.
- Skeeter: Yeah. No way any bugs will touch that stuff.
- [the kids are surprised that their dinner is really a bowl of fried chicken]
- Skeeter: What a relief!
- Nanny: What do you mean, kids?
- Gonzo: Well... Well, we thought we were gonna have to eat that smelly stuff you were mixing in the kitchen today.
- Nanny: What? Ho ho! Gonzo, that was your after-dinner surprise.
- Kids: Huh?
- Gonzo: Oh, no. It's dessert.
- Nanny: Come on. I'll show you.
- Rowlf: We're done for.
- Skeeter: Yeah, this is probably our last meal.
- [Nanny takes the kids to the bathroom]
- Nanny: Well, kids, what do you think?
- [the kids are amazed at what they see]
- Skeeter: Gee!
- Kermit: Look!
- Piggy: Ooh! Nanny made new walls for the bathroom.
- Nanny: No, Piggy. I put up new wallpaper. That stuff I was mixing today was wallpaper paste.
- Kids: It was?
- Nanny: Uh-huh. It holds the paper to the wall, kind of like glue.
- Kermit: Gee!
- Piggy: Wow!
- Skeeter: Neat-o!
- Kermit: Gee, Gonzo, that stuff wasn't dinner after all.
- Gonzo: Aw, I knew what it was all the time, Nanny.
- [Gonzo trips and falls backwards, landing in the bucket of wallpaper paste]
- Gonzo: Ho-ho! Oh, no! It's got me! Help! Let me go!
