MISS PIGGY: The Great Muppet Cook-Off.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(SNIFFS) Mmm. What's that yummy smell?

It's cookies! Voila!

SUMMER: Cookies, cookies, cookies!

Ooh. What's the occasion?

We have a new friend visiting the playroom today.

So I wanted to bake him some cookies.

These are the yummiest cookies ever.

How did you make them so tasty?

Well, we worked together and followed a recipe.

Uh, what's a recipe, Miss Nanny?

It's a list of all the steps you need to follow to bake cookies.

Yes, yes. But I didn't really need a recipe.

Some of us are just talented in the kitchen.

Yes, Piggy.

But it is important to follow a recipe when you're cooking.

-(DOORBELL RINGS) -Looks like our guest is here.

(ALL CHEERING)

I'd like everyone to meet Chef!

(SCATTING)

(CAR ALARM BLARING)

Hoodee whoo.

Hiya, hiya, hiya!

You kids get acquainted while I clean up the kitchen.

Welcome, Chef! I made cookies.

Holda vorke mee maka da cookie, too!

Um, what did he say?

He said it's nice to meet so many new friends,

and he made us some cookies, too.

Wow. You can understand him?

Hey, I understand anyone with cookies.

Beholda-da cookie.

ALL: Ooh!

Yummy-yummy for you and you. And you and you. And you too.

Mmm, these are the yummiest cookies ever.

Uh, but I thought mine were the yummiest cookies ever.

They're both good, Piggy.

Hmm. Moi is the best chef in the whole wide world.

And I can prove it.

We'll have a cook-off.

Great idea. Wait, what's a cook-off?

It's a cooking contest.

Whoever makes the yummiest food wins.

What do you say, Mr. Yummiest Cookies Ever?

You think you can handle a little heat in the kitchen?

Hmm. Verda nernee.

He said, "It's on!"

Mmm-hmm.

So let the competition begin!

Yay!

Welcome to the Great Muppet Cook-Off.

Where we'll see who wins the title of "Best Chef In the Whole Wide World"!

Yay!

Let's meet our first contestant.

She loves all things fabulous, including herself. It's Piggy!

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

Our next contestant has a cooking style all his own and a real way with words.

It's Chef!

Hello!

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

Each of you will cook three dishes with the help of a cooking assistant.

Piggy's assistant is Summer.

Hi!

And Chef's assistant is... Animal.

Animal get to cook!

Our contestants will compete in three rounds,

each decided which is yummiest by our celebrity judges.

Fozzie Bear!

Wocka wocka!

The Great Gonzo!

And Camilla!

For round one, our contestants

will be cooking a dish that's cheesy and noodley and oh-so-yummy.

It's... macaroni and cheese!

Now, let's get cooking!

KERMIT: Animal starts by dropping a whole block of cheese into the bowl.

All done!

Hmm. (SPEAKS GIBBERISH)

That means you have to follow the recipe and go step-by-step.

(SPEAKS GIBBERISH)

GONZO: Step one, you have to cook the noodles.

Summer! Milk and cheese, stat!

Uh, Piggy? I don't think all that stuff should go in the pot.

Shouldn't we follow the steps?

We do not need to follow any silly steps.

Moi is a kitchen artiste.

Yeppy doopy! Merkidy deerpidy cheesy soos-ah.

GONZO: Step two, you have to make the cheesy sauce.

(LAUGHS)

But Piggy, noodles are really crunchy and hard before they're cooked.

Especially with the box in there.

I know what I'm doing.

Step three, you add the cheesy sauce to the tender noodles.

There, done. Just wait till the judges try my mac and cheese.

I guarantee they've never had anything like it.

It's all clumpy!

Let me. Hi-yah!

See, Summer? Perfect macaroni and cheese in no easy steps.

Bon appetit!

Let's see what the judges think.

Uh, the noodles are a bit, um, crunchy for my taste.

Ah! This mac and cheese is kinda hard to appreciate.

Get it? Hard like the noodles?

(CLUCKS)

Uh. Thanks, Piggy.

Your macaroni and cheese was, uh, interesting.

Hmm!

Now, here comes Chef with his mac and cheese.

Mmm. Oh, perfectly cooked noodles!

(CLUCKS)

What do you think, Fozzie?

Um, Fozzie?

Huh? Uh, oh! Uh, delicious!

Judges! What is your decision?

Oh, we totally think Chef made the best mac and cheese.

KERMIT: And Chef wins the first round!

You may have won this round, Chef.

But, I'll win the next round.

And for the next round, our chefs will be making...

Meatball pizza!

Now, let's get cooking!

(SPEAKS GIBBERISH)

(LAUGHS) Yeah!

Time-a de-di cooking.

Okay, my family has a pizza recipe.

The first step is to...

Oh, we don't need a recipe.

I'm already making the meatballs.

But Grandpa Pepper Penguin always said...

Pepper! That's what this recipe needs to add some zing.

Piggy! You can't put that much pepper in.

It'll make everyone sneeze!

It'll be fine. Let's cook 'em.

-(TIMER DINGS) -Ooh, looka da wookadee boo-tiful pizzie.

-(TIMER DINGS) -Meatballs are done!

Now, where's the dough and sauce?

We don't have any dough or any sauce.

Making those were the first steps.

-Oh. -KERMIT: Chefs!

The judges are ready to taste your pizza.

We'll just improvise.

Uh, Piggy, I think your pizza is missing something.

Yeah, like the pizza.

It's, um, pizza-free pizza.

It's what all the fabulous people are eating.

JUDGES: Oh!

You know, it kinda tastes like... pepper.

Ah...ah... Choo!

Cluck-choo!

Ah... Choo!

Gesundheit.

Thank you.

Uh, Camilla and I think Piggy's pizza needs more pizza in it.

(CLUCKS)

Well, it has to be better than what Chef made.

KERMIT: So, let's see what the judges think of Chef's pizza.

CHEF: Pizza de meets-bally for you.

(GASPS)

Wowza!

Now, this is delicious pizza!

(CLUCKS AND BURPS)

Oh, come on. It can't possibly be that good.

Yeah, it's that good.

JUDGES: Chef wins!

And with two wins out of three,

it looks like there's no way for Piggy to win!

-All right! -Hoodie-doo!

Hmm. I'm a way better cook than Chef!

And I can prove it by winning the last round.

Winner takes all!

(SPEAKS GIBBERISH)

Huh?

He says, "Okay."

The last dish our contestants will be making is one of my favorites...

Cake!

All right, Summer.

We're going to make a cake that really crumbles Chef's cookies.

Great. And this time we're gonna follow the steps, right?

We can't be bothered with steps when it's winner take all.

What? Piggy, that's how Chef and Animal will be doing it.

But if we do it like that, our cake will be just like theirs.

Yes!

No! Ours has to be bigger.

It has to be better!

It has to be super fabulous!

Oh, no!

Let's get cooking!

Hi-ya!

More butter!

I can't see.

Hi-ya!

(GASPS) I forgot the marshmallow filling!

That's because you're not following the step...

Ahh!

Our final challenge is almost done

and things are really heating up!

Who will win the Great Muppet Cook-Off?

Contestants, bring your cakes to the table.

(BUBBLING)

The judges will sample Chef's cake first.

Mmm! Chef's cake is light, airy and delicious!

-What he said. -(CLUCKS)

(SPEAKS GIBBERISH)

And now Piggy's cake.

Um, why is the cake moving?

(BUBBLING CONTINUES)

(ALL GROANING)

Okay, maybe that was too much filling.

Well, judges. Do we have a decision?

JUDGES: Chef wins!

That means the winner of the Great Muppet Cook-Off is... Chef!

Thanka-dinka-do!

Congratulations, Chef. You won fair and square.

I guess even being super fabulous isn't enough to bake a great cake.

Hirka un dirka bakee dee cakkee, enzybody, stepa-da-stepa!

Uh, what he say?

He says anybody can bake a cake if you go step-by-step.

And he wants to help you bake one.

Moi?

(ALL LAUGHING)

GONZO: Wow, I did not get that.

ANIMAL: Animal and the Egg.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(CLUCKING)

Yes! A new cup stacking record.

You didn't see that.

Oh, boy. It's a perfect windy day to make paper airplanes.

(DRUMS PLAYING)

(LAUGHS)

Oh. Animal's drumming is ruining arts and crafts.

Hey, Animal. Wanna come do art projects with us?

No!

I'm making paper airplanes.

(GASPS) Airplane!

Check out this one, Animal. I call it the Froggie Flyer.

Animal love airplanes.

The trick is to be super gentle

when you throw it so it doesn't get crumpled.

Like this.

Ooh!

Animal fly airplane.

Okay. But you've got to handle it really carefully or it'll get...

...ruined. Oh!

Uh-oh. Sorry.

It's okay. I'll make another one.

MISS NANNY: Hey, kids. How are your art projects coming along?

Great, Miss Nanny. I made this flower out of yarn for you.

Oh, it's lovely, Summer.

And look, I even have a pot for it.

Now, we just have to find the perfect place to put it.

Animal help.

Animal put pretty flower in sandbox. Nope.

Animal, be gentle with that.

You might break it.

Animal put flower in chicken coop.

(TWEETING)

Okay, no.

Animal put flower on merry-go-round.

Whee!

(ALL GASP)

Oh, no. Animal break flower.

Oh. It's okay, Animal. I can fix it.

But you need to learn how to be more gentle

with something that can break so easily.

Sorry.

I'll just go inside and get some glue to fix this up.

(SADLY) Oh.

Animal feel bad now.

Oh, poor Animal.

(WIND BLOWING)

Huh?

Hey, Animal. Are you okay?

Whoa. Where'd that egg come from?

From sky.

(LAUGHS) Eggs don't fall from the sky, silly.

At least, I don't think they do.

It must have fallen out of that nest up there.

(GASPS) You know what this means?

There's a baby bird inside waiting to be hatched.

Birdie inside eggie?

Yup. The shell keeps the bird warm and safe

before it hatches.

Animal hug egg.

Careful! You don't want to break it.

Eggs are very delicate. Don't move, okay?

Hey, everybody. Animal found a bird egg.

MISS PIGGY: Let me see. Let me see. Let me see.

Hmm. I wonder where its mama is.

I haven't seen any birds in the yard at all.

(CLUCKS)

Well, except for Camilla and the chicks.

Eggie, all alone?

So, what do we do?

We've got to get that egg back in the nest where it belongs.

It's mama is probably looking for it right now.

Yeah. Find eggie mama. Find mama.

Whoa. Whoa. Be careful, Animal.

Let's put the egg in this basket.

The yarn inside will keep it safe

while we figure out a way to get it back in the nest.

And while you're doing that,

we'll go look for the mama bird.

Way ahead of you, Kermit.

Uh. Hey, Camilla. Are you missing an egg?

(CLUCKS)

She says "no."

Nice try, Fozzie.

But I've got a better idea to find that mama bird.

To the tricycles, everyone!

ALL: Yay!

We'll be able to find that mama bird in no time with our tricycles.

Wait. How are we gonna find her

just riding our tricycles around the yard?

Who said we're riding around the yard?

Let's go! Whee!

ALL: Yay!

Bye-bye.

Um, excuse me, Mr. Goose.

Have you by any chance seen a mama bird who's lost her egg?

(HONKS)

Uh. I speak bird. And that's a "no."

Let's move on, people.

Okay. How do we get the egg from down here

all the way up there?

Animal have idea. Throw it.

Wait. What are you doing?

Animal throw egg to nest.

I don't think you can do that.

Animal can. Animal throw lots of things. Watch.

Wait! I mean eggs are very delicate.

If you throw it, it'll break.

Oh. Animal kick.

No! We have to think of a gentle way to get it back up there.

Oh. Okay.

Excusez-moi, Mrs. Owl. We are looking for someone.

Hoo.

A mama bird who lost her egg.

Hoo.

We don't know. We've never met her.

Hoo.

-The bird! -Hoo

That's why we're asking you!

Uh, Piggy.

Maybe we should ask someone else.

Hoo.

(FRUSTRATED GRUMBLE)

(LAUGHING)

Um, so what exactly is this new idea?

Animal bounce egg up to tree. Like this.

(SCREAMS)

Animal bounce too far.

Owie.

I think we need a better way than jumping

to get the egg back in the nest, Animal.

You right.

Hopefully the others are on their way back with the mama bird.

Uh. Excuse me. You guys seen a mama bird looking for a missing egg?

ALL: No. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Okay. Thanks anyway.

So, how are we gonna get the egg

back in the nest this time?

With swing. (LAUGHS)

I don't think putting an egg on a swing is very gentle, Animal.

Animal gentle.

Animal push buddy. See?

Higher.

(CLANKING)

(PINBALL BONUS SOUNDS)

Oh. Sorry, buddy.

Swing not good idea for egg.

Oh. Hello.

(SQUAWKS) "Oh. Hello."

Did you lose an egg?

"Did you lose an egg?"

Hey. Stop saying what I'm saying.

"Hey. Stop saying what I'm saying."

Maybe we shouldn't ask a parrot, Fozzie.

They just repeat everything.

Yeah, you're right.

"Yeah, you're right."

Cut it out!

(SQUAWKS) "Cut it out."

-Come on, Fozzie. -(EXASPERATED SIGH)

This Animal best idea yet.

Shoot egg out of cannon, like this.

Wait, Animal!

No wait. Go!

-Ahh! -(PINBALL BONUS SOUNDS)

(SIGHS) Owie.

You know, Animal, I think we need to work

on what you think being gentle means.

Maybe if you just...

Animal be gentle with egg now.

-(SHELL CRACKS) -(BOTH GASP)

Oh, no! Animal break egg!

Animal break everything because he not gentle.

Animal ruin Kermit's airplane.

Animal brake Summer's yarn flower.

Knock over Gonzo's cups.

No. You didn't break it, Animal.

The egg is hatching.

We've gotta get it back in the nest before it's mama gets back.

Oh, no. What we do? What we do?

(GASPS) Animal know what to do.

Gently.

Oh. I hope the others found the mama bird.

Um, Are you looking for an egg?

Did you lose an egg?

-(SCREAMING) I said, Did you lose... -(LOUD DRILLING)

We've looked everywhere.

And we still can't find the mama bird.

(TWEETING)

No. We're not looking for an egg.

We're looking for a mama bird.

Fozzie. We're looking for a mama bird who's missing an egg.

And she must be it.

(TWEETING)

Yes! We know where your egg is, Mama bird.

ALL: Follow us.

Guys. Guys, we've found the mama bird.

That's great. But the egg is hatching.

We've got to get it back in the nest now.

Animal know how.

You do?

Gently. Watch.

(TWEETING)

(ALL GASP)

(TWEETING JOYFULLY)

Yay!

Oops. I mean, uh, (SOFTLY) yay.

Wow. Great job, Animal.

So very gentle.

(TWEETING)

The mama bird says,

"Thank you for being so tender with her precious baby."

Aw.

(SHELL CRACKING)

(GASPS) It's hatching.

(BOTH TWEETING)

Hi, birdie birdie. Me Animal.

Birdie like drums?
