though the whole joint's gone to hell

- You guys live here?

- Yeah, but only between gigs.

So that means we've been here

this time five years.

Yeah, but, you know,

our agent, he says...

things are really gonna break

as soon as we get our new glossies.

What's wrong with the drummer?

He looks a little crazed.

He's upset about missing the Rembrandt

exhibit at the National Gallery.

Oh, there are bugs

And there are lice

Sure we have our little problems,

but you'll never beat the price

- You've got every kind of critter

- You've got every kind of pest

But we treat them all as equals

just like any other guest

Though you're cleaner

than the others

Still as far as we can tell

You'll fit right in

to Happiness Hotel

We'll fit right in

To Happiness Hotel

Say cheese!

You are all weirdos.

That's just fine right there.

Thank you.

Not bad!

Are you sure we can afford this?

Kermit, I'm getting hungry.

- Call room service.

- There's no phone.

That's okay.

There's no food either.

- Come on, Rizzo.

- All right.

Why don't we forget about food

and get a good night's sleep?

We have to get up early

to interview Lady Holiday.

I sure could use something from one

or more of the basic food groups.

We'll have breakfast in the morning.

Right now, let's just

be thankful we're here.

- This is nice.

- Can somebody turn out the light?

Thank you.

This is Lady Holiday.

Milan speaking?

Then put him on.

Yes, darling, I'm fine.

I had quite a scare.

Thank God, I wasn't hurt.

Of course,

my diamonds were valuable.

All my diamonds are valuable.

Darling, I want you to call

the United States and tell Vogue...

they can't have the photographs

of the spring line until after the show.

I'm not too happy

with some of the designs.

I still have to make some changes.

I'm looking at three of the gowns now,

and I can see horrendous mistakes.

Of course, Paris should be notified.

- Carla, that neckline is too high.

- I rather like the effect.

- Do you like looking like an ostrich?

- Of course not.

And Marla,

too many frills and fabillose.

I don't think we should strive

for the fantailed pigeon look.

And you, Darla.

That outfit's the pits.

Loose where it should be tight

and tight where it should be loose.

Why would I design such

atrocious-looking clothes?

- I must be getting senile.

- Yes, Lady Holiday?

We have to make drastic changes

in the line before the show tomorrow.

All my girls are looking

like barnyard animals.

Good heavens, who are you?

My name is Miss Piggy...

and I would like to be

a high fashion model.

Doesn't surprise me.

It seems to be the way we're heading.

I have always dreamed

of being a Holiday model.
