-Chugga chugga, chugga chugga choo-choo. -FOZZIE: Choo-choo.

Ooh.

PIGGY: It's sparkly.

-The wheels are so shiny. Yay. -They're so... Oh, wow.

(CHOMPING) Mmm. Muffin.

Yummy for bunnies.

(CHOMPING, GASPS)

Look, Buddy. Train.

Isn't it cool?

Miss Nanny brought it for us.

Thank you.

Wow, Animal.

That blueberry muffin is turning you blue.

(CHOMPS) Ah. (LAUGHS)

(CHUCKLES) It's turning Buddy blue too.

Uh-oh.

Don't worry, Animal.

I'm an expert at getting out stains.

Buddy just needs a bath and he'll be good as new.

This is a great train, Miss Nanny.

I'm glad you like it.

That engine is mine from when I was a little girl.

What's an engine?

NANNY: It's that machine at the front

that pulls all the other cars behind it.

Huh. They don't look like cars to me.

Train cars aren't like the cars

that you drive on the highway.

They're more like rooms that move.

NANNY: There are cars for people to sit in,

cars you can visit to buy snacks, even a fancy car.

(GASPS) Ooh. The fancy car is where I'd sit.

Who sits in the engine, Miss Nanny?

The engineer.

They get to drive the train.

Boy, I'd love to do that.

I think you'd make a great engineer, Kermit.

But you'll need a conductor.

They're the one who announces all the stops

and helps the people get on and off the train.

That's the job for me.

I love helping people!

And we can all be your passengers.

Buddy ride train. (LAUGHS)

What do you say, Miss Nanny,

wanna take a train ride with us?

NANNY: Maybe later, Kermit.

I've got some extra chores to do today.

If you need me, I'll be outside.

Well then, what are we waiting for?

All aboard the Muppet Express.

KERMIT: Yay!

GONZO: This is the Muppet Express

on the way to Drum Set Junction

and Arts and Crafts Crossing.

(LAUGHS) Pretty.

Look, Buddy.

Huh, Buddy?

Buddy. Buddy.

-Buddy! -Hmm.

(PANTING)

What's the matter, Animal?

Buddy missing!

Well, he couldn't have left all by himself.

And you and I are the only ones in the car.

(GASPS) You know what that means?

Animal stinky?

No.

It means we've got a mystery on our hands.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

What we do?

Don't worry, Animal.

Summer Penguin, PI, is on the case.

(WHISPERING) The PI stands for "Penguin investigator."

I'll help you find Buddy.

We just need to keep calm

and think things through.

"Think things through?"

I'll show you.

The last time I remember seeing Buddy

was when we were all singing

that song about the train.

But that was a while ago.

When was the last time you remember seeing Buddy?

Uh...

(WARBLING) Can't remember.

Gotta find Buddy.

Wait. If you can't remember,

maybe we can use my magnifying glass

to find some clues.

Clues, what that?

Clues are like little hints.

They help you solve the mystery.

Oh.

-Is this your seat? -Yeah.

Let's look for some clues here.

Hmm. Aha!

Our first clue.

SUMMER: There are animal crackers under your seat.

But where did they come from?

From snack car. (SNIFFS)

They Buddy's favorite food.

Animal, did you take Buddy

to the snack car to get him crackers?

Yeah. (GASPS) Oh, yeah!

See how it works?

Let's look for Buddy in the snack car.

GONZO: Drum Set Junction!

Anyone getting off at Drum Set Junction?

-(TRAIN HORN TOOTS) -Buddy!

Buddy! Buddy! (GROANS)

Two milk's please.

And make his a large.

He's having a rough day.

Buddy not here either.

It's okay, Animal.

We just have to "keep calm and think things through."

Here you go.

Fozzie, have you seen this rabbit?

Buddy? Oh, sure.

I noticed him sitting all alone here

after Animal went back to the passenger car.

He looked kinda lonely so I got him a nice, tall box of milk.

(GASPS) Buddy here?

Well, he was.

But when I turned around to get him a straw,

the little guy was gone.

(SIGHING) Aw!

Don't worry.

That just means we need more clues.

(HORN TOOTS)

GONZO: All aboard.

-Hmm. Ah! (GRUNTS) -(SCREAMS)

Aha. Another clue. A scarf.

Fozzie, is this yours?

That's Piggy's scarf.

She must have dropped it

when she was here getting pretzels.

If Piggy was here getting pretzels,

then she might have seen where Buddy went.

Yeah.

See how it works?

To the fancy car!

-Yeah. Yeah. (LAUGHS) -Hey. Wait for me.

Buddy. Buddy.

Wow. The fancy car sure is fancy.

Next stop, Arts and Crafts Crossing.

-Buddy. Buddy. -(SNORES)

-(SNORES, SCREAMS) -Buddy!

Oh, sorry.

ANIMAL: Buddy!

Here's your scarf, Piggy.

You dropped it in the snack car.

Oh, thank you, Summer.

Oh. Buddy not here either.

It's okay, Animal.

So what do we do?

Uh...

BOTH: "Keep calm and think things through."

Piggy, have you seen this rabbit?

Buddy? Of course.

I found Buddy all alone in the snack car

and brought him here.

I thought he would enjoy the view

from the fancy car.

Just like the chicks were.

So, where is he now?

What do you mean? He's right there.

(MUPPET BABIES GASPS)

No, he's not.

But I left him in that seat with the chicks.

They must have moved him while you were asleep.

But where did they go?

Hmm... Aha. A clue.

Chicken feathers?

And they lead in a trail to...

The engine!

See how it works?

Come on, everyone.

(HORN TOOTING)

See, it takes a steady hand.

Buddy.

Hi, Kermit.

Hey, guys. What're you doing here?

We're looking for Buddy.

Have you seen him?

Yeah, he's right here.

Aw.

Gee, how weird.

He came up here with the chicks

so they could all watch me drive the train.

I didn't see him leave though.

-Did you? -(CLUCKS)

Well, he's got to be here.

We looked everywhere.

Isn't there anyone

who knows what's going on

on this train?

Next stop, Arts and Crafts Crossing.

Aha. Gonzo, have you seen Buddy?

Yeah. He got off the train.

ALL: What?

Well, the train was getting close to

Drum Set Junction so I said,

"Anyone getting off at Drum Set Junction?"

And as soon as Kermit stopped the train,

he got up to leave.

So, as the conductor,

I picked him right up,

helped him onto the platform

and sent him on his way.

That is my job after all.

(GASPS)

Gonzo, Buddy would never get off the train without Animal.

I don't know. He look pretty happy to me.

ALL: GONZO!

Okay. I, I'm sorry.

But we can't go back now.

We're due at Arts and Crafts Crossing by snack o'clock.

We can if the engineer says we can.

And that's me.

Hang on, everyone.

(WHEELS SQUEAKS)

Next stop, Buddy.

-FOZZIE: Yeah! -(MUPPETS CHEERING)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

(LAUGHING)

I'm coming, Buddy!

(MUPPETS CHEERING)

KERMIT: Drum Set Junction.

-Yay. Yay. -Buddy. Buddy.

-We're here, Buddy. -(LAUGHS)

I knew we could do it.

We kept calm.

We thought things through

and now Buddy is right... here.

Summer, he's not here either.

But he's gotta be here.

All the clues lead here.

I'm sure this is where I left him.

Now what do we do?

I, I, I guess there's only one thing left to do.

-(INHALES DEEPLY) Keep... -Buddy!

-Buddy! -Buddy!

Buddy!

Buddy, where are you?

Buddy!

PIGGY: Buddy, get out here right now. Buddy!

(SIGHS)

Gotta "keep calm

"and think things through."

Huh?

Hmm.

Hmm. Muffin.

Yummy for bunnies.

(CHOMPING) Uh-oh.

NANNY: I'm an expert at getting out stains.

Aha!

What is it, Animal?

Muffin crumbs from Buddy.

Oh, yeah. I remember.

Buddy dirty.

Yes, so?

Buddy need to be cleaned.

Where's he going?

So,

who best at cleaning Buddy?

MUPPET BABIES: Miss Nanny.

NANNY: Oh hi, Animal. Are you looking for this?

Buddy. (LAUGHS) Oh.

Miss Nanny, you took Buddy?

I did.

I saw Buddy sitting by the drum set

when I came inside to check on you.

So I thought that might be a good time to clean him.

But it took longer than I thought.

See how it works?

You did it, Animal.

You cracked the case

by keeping calm

and thinking things through.

Summer show Animal how.

ALL: Aw!

(CHUCKLES) Nice work, you two.

Well, now that the case of the missing Buddy is solved,

where should we go for our next train ride?

Oh. Oh, I know!

We can go to Dress Up Clothes Corner.

I'm already wearing my faboo scarf!

(GASPS) It's gone. My scarf is missing.

You must have left it somewhere

on the train again.

You know what that mean.

We've got another mystery on our hands.

Summer Penguin, PI.

And Animal.

BOTH: Are on the case.

All aboard.

ALL: Chugga chugga, chugga chugga.

Woo, woo! (ALL LAUGHING)

PIGGY: Mr. Manny.

(ALL CHUCKLING, CHEERING)

Hey, guys. I've got a big surprise for you today.

-A surprise? -Ooh.

I've got to run an errand this afternoon,

so a very good friend of mine

is coming over to keep an eye on the playroom.

Oh, well you don't need to do that, Miss Nanny.

Moi, will watch the playroom for you.

Aw, thanks, Piggy.

But I think we still need a grown-up here.

Uh, but if you leave the playroom,

everything will be different.

I know different can be a little... well, different.

But trying something new can be fun.

Now, I'd better go get ready,

because our new friend will be here soon.

(ANNOYED GRUNT) This new Miss Nanny

better not try anything different while I'm around.

But, Piggy, our new nanny could be someone really cool.

Yeah.

What if our new nanny is a penguin?

(LAUGHING, GIGGLING)

(CHEERING)

Who wants hot cocoa?

-(CHEERING) -Hooray! Hooray!

Ooh. She'll be amazing.

No, she won't. Because she won't be Miss Nanny.

But what if the new Miss Nanny isn't a penguin?

What if she's a clown?

(SQUEAKS)

(SINGING) ♪ Hey, why'd the clown go to the doctor? ♪

(GIGGLES) I don't know, Fozzie.

Why did the clown go to the doctor?

Because she was feeling a little funny, huh?

-(LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY) -(SCOFFS)

Now, who wants popcorn and rubber chickens?

MUPPET BABIES: Hooray!

Oh, she's going to be the most joke-tastic nanny ever.

But I don't want a joke-tastic nanny.

But what if the new Miss Nanny isn't a clown?

What if she's a... Purple Mecha Robo Nanny?

(ROBOTIC VOICE) Alert Gonzo.

We must save the universe together.

Woo-hoo!

Best nanny ever!

Isn't she glorious?

Not as glorious as Miss Nanny.

(DOOR BELL RINGS)

Looks like our new friend is here.

Oh, boy! We're gonna meet the new Miss Nanny for real!

-(CHEERING) -Oh, boy. Oh, boy...

(PIGGY SIGHS)

Everyone, this is my good friend...

A clown?

A penguin?

A Purple Mecha Robo Nanny?

MISS NANNY: Mr. Manny!

Hey, guys.

The new nanny is a... Manny?

I did not see that coming.

Mr. Manny, these are the friends I told you about.

MUPPET BABIES: Hi!

(ANNOYED GRUNT)

I hope you have a great time getting to know each other.

-See you soon. -MUPPET BABIES: Bye, Miss Nanny.

So, who's ready to have a...

groovy day?

(MUPPETS GIGGLING)

First, let's get to know each other.

Kermit. Fozzie.

Heard you two groovy guys love pizza.

What's your fave?

Half olive.

And half meatball.

Hey, those are my favorites too.

-Awesome! -Cool!

And you must be Animal.

Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

I hear you're quite the drummer.

Maybe we can jam later?

I play a wicked guitar.

(IMITATES GUITAR)

(LAUGHS)

Rock n' roll!

And you must be the Gonzo the Great.

I hope we get to do some stunts together today.

I don't know.

How do you feel about landing in a dump truck filled with spaghetti sauce?

-Sign me up! -(CHUCKLES) Oh, it's on!

And you're Summer Penguin.

I'm a big fan of your finger paintings.

Actually, they're flipper paintings.

(SINGSONG) Groovy!

(LAUGHS)

Hey, Piggy. Check us out.

We both love... (SINGSONG) pink!

Oh, uh, really?

Now, who's ready for snack time?

KERMIT: I am. SUMMER: Snack time.

Groovy!

No, Mr. Manny.

Snack time always happens after story time.

Well, I thought we could have snack time now

so we could have more fun later.

Be right back... with a snack. (CHUCKLES)

But, but...

Well, Mr. Manny's no Purple Mecha Robo Nanny.

But I think he's still pretty cool.

Yeah. I think he's... groovy. (LAUGHS)

Well, I don't.

Why not, Piggy?

Three good reasons.

He's not Miss Nanny. He's not Miss Nanny and...

Let me guess, "he's not Miss Nanny"?

Exactly.

Who wants (SINGSONG) apple slices?

KERMIT: I do.

(ALL GOBBLING)

Um, those are green apples.

Miss Nanny always gives us red ones.

Oh. Well, I think we can do something about that.

Red apple slices, coming right up!

(MOANS) Aw, Piggy, you gotta try these green apples,

they're delicious

And they match Kermit.

(ALL LAUGHING)

-(ANNOYED GRUNT) -There you go, red apple slices.

Just the way Miss Nanny makes them.

But Miss Nanny always puts them in a star shape for me.

A star for a star.

I should have thought of that myself.

There you go.

(GASPS) A star!

Um... I mean, not bad.

Great. So after you finish your apples

let's go outside for a little groovy...

(SINGSONG) nature time.

(CHEERING) Yay!

Oh, wait. What?

Miss Nanny always does arts and crafts after snack time.

And that's what I'm going to do.

(FRUSTRATED GRUNTING)

That's okay, Piggy.

You can do arts and crafts outside

while we explore the back yard.

(CHEERING) Yay!

KERMIT: Yeppie!

(LAUGHING, GIGGLING)

(SIGHS SADLY)

Hey, Piggy. Are you sure

you don't wanna join us for nature time?

It'll be... (SINGSONG) groovy!

Mr. Manny,

it is arts and crafts time now, not nature time.

(EMPHASIZING) O-kay.

But we'll be over here if you wanna join us.

(GRUNTS)

Who's ready for a little nature time?

-(CHEERING) Yay! -SUMMER: Nature!

Shouldn't we wait for Piggy?

She's gonna draw instead.

But I hope she'll join us later.

So, let's see what we can find.

Starting over here.

Ooh, I spy something super (SINGSONG) groovy.

(ALL EXCLAIM)

What is it, Mr. Manny?

That's a caterpillar.

(GASPS) A caterpillar?

I'll bet it's looking for a spot in that bush to build its chrysalis.

Chrysa-wha?

A chrysalis is a caterpillar's home.

Like that one.

He stays inside until one day, he changes.

The caterpillar changes clothes?

Not clothes, Fozzie.

The caterpillar changes into something completely different.

(DRAMATICALLY) A butterfly.

ALL: Wow!

Ooh...

Maybe we can find some around the yard.

Butterflies love flowers.

You guys start looking while I go check on Piggy.

FOZZIE: Okay. GONZO: You got it.

-(ALL LAUGHING) -GONZO: Butterflies.

Hey, Piggy. How you doin' over here?

Terrible. Because Miss Nanny's not here.

Yeah, I know you've been worried about

all the changes since I got here.

But you know something,

I was a little worried about coming here today.

(GASPS) But the playroom is the best place in the whole world.

Why would vous be worried to come here?

Well, I hadn't been here before.

And I hadn't met any of you either.

I knew it would be very different.

But you're not still worried, are you?

Nope. I'm having a great day.

I sure am glad I gave it a try.

You know why?

No.

Because if I didn't try something new,

I wouldn't have met all of you.

(MUPPET BABIES LAUGHING)

Oh, you know what, Mr. Manny?

I don't think I've been very nice to you.

That's okay, Piggy.

You know, it's not too late to help your friends

look for butterflies.

Well, even though it is arts and crafts time,

I'd like that.

But only if you come help!

(CHUCKLES) Groovy!

(LAUGHS, SNORTS)

Hey, guys! Did you find any butterflies yet?

We didn't find any.

Hmm. Maybe we need to try something a little different.

But I thought you were doing arts and crafts, Piggy?

Oh, no.

You can't do the same things all the time, Kermie.

Right, Mr. Manny?

(CHUCKLES) You betcha, Piggy.

So let's look for (SINGSONG) butterflies!

ALL: Yay!

ANIMAL: Miss Nanny. (CHUCKLES)

We missed you.

We ate green apples.

And saw a caterpillar.

And caught a butterfly.

And what about you, Piggy?

How did you handle everything being so different?

It wasn't easy, Miss Nanny.

But Mr. Manny made it... groovy.

(GIGGLES)

Yeah, Mr. Manny's even better than a Purple Mecha Robo Nanny.

MR. MANNY: (CHUCKLES) Okay.

Nothing's better than a Purple Mecha Robo Nanny.

Good point.

Mr. Manny, can you come visit us again soon?

(EMPHASIZING) Please!

Now, that sounds... (SINGSONG) groovy.
