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

for an answer

You can't take no

for an answer

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

Sayin'it isn't worth the trouble

All the trouble

that you're goin'through

- It ain't worth it, no

- What can you do

- 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

What ya gonna do

when the times get tough

And the world's

treatin'you unkind

You gotta hang on to

your optimistic outlook

And keep possession

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!
