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.
