Like he feels

too responsible for us.

He'd be better off

if we left town.

I can't leave Kermit.

We're still pinned.

Maybe...

I'm sorry

I blew up outside.

But guess what.

Pete's cooking up some soup for us.

Well, what's wrong?

It's just...

We've had some job offers, right?

- Yeah! Right!

- Job offers!

Yeah!

That's great.

These job offers are...

kinda out of town, right?

- Yeah, yeah.

- They're out-of-town job offers.

- What job did I get?

- Gonzo!

Piggy, are you going too?

Well, Kermy, l...

We go bye-bye?

Kermit, we'll write to you

and let you know where we are.

Yeah, and, Kermit,

we still believe in the show.

Yeah, yeah.

Board!

Saying good-bye

Going away

Seems like good-bye's

Such a hard thing to say

Touching a hand

Wondering why

It's time for saying good-bye

Good-bye, Kermy!

Saying good-bye

Why is it sad

Makes us remember

The good times we've had

Much more to say

Foolish to try

It's time for saying good-bye

Don't want to leave

But we both know

Sometimes it's better to go

Somehow I know

We'll meet again

Not sure quite where

And I don't know just when

You're in my heart

So until then

It's time for saying good-bye

Somehow I know

We'll meet again

Not sure quite where

And I don't know just when

You're in my heart

So until then

Wanna smile

Wanna cry

Saying good-bye

It's time for saying good-bye

Look at all those people out there.

Lots of people.

But my friends...

My friends are all gone.

I'm gonna get 'em back.

I'm gonna get 'em back!

'Cause the show's not dead

as long as I believe in it.

I'm gonna sell that show,

and we're all gonna be on Broadway.

You hear me, New York?

We're gonna be on Broadway!

Because...

Because I'm not givin' up!

I'm still here and I'm stayin'!

You hear that, New York?

I'm stayin' here!

The frog is stayin'!

Rizzo, is bagel ready!

Is hominy grits ready!

- Excuse me, Pete.

- What is?

- I thought you might have work here.

- Rizzo, is ready!

Part-time so I could

keep working on the show.

What is that supposed to be?

Is grits. Hominy grits.

How should I know how many?

Count 'em yourself! Ha-ha.

- What?

- Uh, listen...

Wait! Wait! What is?

Is all morning like this.

You complain. You slow.

You no take orders.

- You lazy rat, you!

- Lazy rat? Okay! Have it your way.

I don't have to

take this abuse!

I quit!

Quit? You no can quit!

Is breakfast crowd!

All right! Don't beg. I'll stay.

But I need some help.

Okay, guys, this is it.

Don't blow it.

Pete, meet your new employees.

- Say hello to Tatooey...

- Yo!

- Masterson...

- Hello.

- Chester...

- I feel terrible!

And Yolanda!

- What a crazy body!

- Yeah.
