FOZZIE: "The Karate Cub."

(SINGING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

May I have your attention?

(MUPPETS GASPING)

Welcome to the most amazing martial arts show

you've ever seen!

Starring us!

(CHICKENS CLUCK)

The Kickin' Chickens!

Wow, Gonzo. I didn't know you knew karate.

The Kickin' Chickens don't do karate.

We specialize in

the ancient feathered art of Camilla-rate!

(CLUCKS)

Yeah, Camilla!

Show us some Camilla-rate moves!

(CLUCKS)

First, Priscilla and I will demonstrate the Rooster Kick!

(BOTH GRUNT)

-ALL: Wow. -Wow! How'd he do that?

Next, Beep will block flying bouncy balls

with a little move we like to call

The Wings of Fury!

Whoa! Did you see that?

Yeah, it was super cool!

If you think that's something,

watch as Camilla performs the mighty Chicken Chop

to break this cookie in half.

(CLUCKING)

ALL: Whoa!

That was so cool.

I'll bet I could be a Kickin' Chicken.

But, Fozzie, do you know any Camilla-rate?

Of course I do.

I just watched a whole demonstration.

And I love cookies.

That practically makes me an expert.

Gee, I don't know.

Don't worry, Kermit. How hard could it be?

Oh, Gonzo!

I want to be a Kickin' Chicken, too.

Well, that's amazarrific.

But it's not up to me. It's up to Camilla.

(CLUCKS)

She says no one can join the Kickin' Chickens

without knowing Camilla-rate.

Oh, uh, but I do know Camilla-rate.

I'll show ya.

Hiyah! Whoa...

(CLUCKS)

Sorry, Fozzie. But Camilla doesn't think

you're ready to be a Kickin' Chicken yet.

But don't worry!

You can try out again after you've practiced more.

Speaking of which, I'd better get back to it! (GRUNTS)

Oh...

Aw. Don't feel bad, Fozzie.

Learning something new takes time.

I know. But if I can't learn Camilla-rate,

then I'll never be a Kickin' Chicken.

Aw. If only you could find someone to teach you.

(MISS PIGGY CLEARS THROAT)

Moi heard a story once about a martial arts teacher

who lives on the very tippy-top of a mountain.

And they call this teacher

The Master!

(ALL EXCLAIM)

If Fozzie wants to learn Camilla-rate,

I'm sure The Master can teach him.

What do you say, Fozzie?

I say, let's go find that... Whoa...

Icicles!

That's one tall mountain!

Piggy said The Master lives at the very tippy-top,

so we better get climbin'.

But, Kermit, won't climbing all the way up

to the tippy-top be, you know, hard?

KERMIT: Looks like it. But it's the only way to reach The Master

and learn Camilla-rate.

Oh, okay.

(ALL PANTING)

(FOZZIE GROANING)

Maybe we should find a master who lives closer to the ground.

(GONG SOUNDS)

MISS PIGGY: (HOARSE VOICE) I knew you would come.

(COUGHING)

(NORMAL VOICE) Excuse me.

(COUGHS) Sorry, scratchy throat.

ALL: Piggy?

You're The Master?

Of course.

I'm strong, talented,

and I know all the martial arts.

Fozzie, you have come to me

because you want to learn Camilla-rate.

Oh, yes. I want to learn more than anything!

Then I, Master Piggy, will teach you.

But before we begin,

you must know that learning Camilla-rate

will take lots of hard work

and practice!

Uh-huh, right, yeah. Sounds good to me, Master Piggy.

(CLUCKS)

Now, Fozzie, to learn Camilla-rate,

you must first master the Rooster Kick.

Do you know the most important part of the Rooster Kick?

Uh, the kick?

-No. -The rooster?

The "the"?

Wrong! It's balance.

That means keeping your body steady,

so you don't fall over.

But I don't want to learn balance.

I just want to learn the Rooster Kick. Oh!

(CLEARS THROAT) If you can't keep your balance,

then you can't do the move.

Animal, hand me the popcorn, please.

-(LAUGHING) Here. -Merci.

Now, watch as I keep the popcorn on my head

by standing perfectly balanced.

Hiyah!

Now let me show it to you again.

Uh, that's okay, Master Piggy.

It looked easy.

Whoa... (GRUNTS)

Oh...

-Mmm. -Hmm...

Maybe we should start with a move

that keeps both feet on the ground.

(CLUCKS)

Now, the most important part

of the Wings of Fury is timing.

Allow me to demonstrate.

Kermie, would you be so kind?

Of course, Master Piggy.

Now, Fozzie, watch as I get ready,

get set, and...

Okay. I could do that.

Remember, Fozzie,

you have to time the move just right,

or you'll miss.

Pshh. I don't need to practice timing.

Let's just get to the blocking.

Okay.

Watch me do a flying block.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...

-Whoa! -(ALL GASP)

Maybe we should move on to something else.

(CLUCKS)

Okay, Fozzie, let's try breaking a cookie in half

using the Chicken Chop.

It's one of Camilla-rate's most important tests.

Moi will demonstrate.

(GRUNTS)

(ECHOING) Hiyah!

Fozzie, you should first practice without the cookie.

Oh, I don't need to.

I can break that little cookie easy-peasy.

Come on, Fozzie. You can do it.

Wocka wocka!

Hi-wocka!

Hmm. Hiyah, hiyah, hiyah!

Aw, this is too hard!

I can't do the Rooster Kick or the Wings of Fury,

or even Chicken Chop a cookie.

I don't think I'm ever

going to be a Kickin' Chicken.

Aw, don't worry, Fozzie.

Yeah, you can't expect to be good at something

the very first time.

You still have more training to do.

I just don't think I can do it.

Thanks for everything, Master Piggy.

But learning Camilla-rate is just too much work.

I give up.

Give up? Fozzie, wait.

(YELPS)

Ah!

ALL: Kermit, look out!

Hiyah!

(ALL GASP)

Kermit, are you okay?

That was incredible, Fozzie.

You just used Camilla-rate.

I did?

Yes! Your training is finally starting to pay off.

But it will take even more hard work

to become a Kickin' Chicken.

Let's do it!

Fozzie, you have worked very, very hard.

Now all you have to do is show Camilla what you've learned.

Let's do it!

Camilla, after a lot of hard work,

I'm ready to be a Kickin' Chicken.

(CLUCKS)

She says then show her a Rooster Kick.

It's all in the balance.

Yeah! Wocka!

(CHEERING)

Good one, Fozzie!

Now show us the Wings of Fury!

Timing. Gotta block at just the right moment.

Ah! Wocka!

(CHEERING)

That was great!

Now, the final test.

Break this cookie in half

using a perfect Chicken Chop.

Let's do this.

Wocka wocka!

What?

-ALL: What? -The cookie didn't break.

Oh.

I guess this means I can't be a Kickin' Chicken, Camilla.

But if I keep training, maybe one day I will be.

(CHEERING)

(CLUCKS)

Fozzie, wait.

Camilla says she wants

to make you a Kickin' Chicken after all.

But I didn't break the cookie.

Camilla says you proved you know something more important,

that being good at something can take a lot of hard work.

(CLUCKS)

And she wants you to be in our big Camilla-rate show!

(GONZO GASPS)

Everyone, look.

-(CHEERING) -You did it!

Wow, I really did!

(CLUCKS)

-(YELLS) -Hiya, hiya, hiya!

How does a Kickin' Chicken say hello?

ALL: How?

By saying, "Hiya!"

MISS PIGGY: "Don't Over Duet."

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Party Animal! Whoo-hoo-hoo!

I sure hope Miss Nanny likes these decorations for her birthday party today.

Yeah. And Piggy and Rowlf's special birthday song.

BOTH: ♪ Clap your hands and get happy ♪

♪ Today's your day Happy Birthday, Miss Nanny ♪

-All right! -Yeah!

Sounds great, Piggy.

Miss Nanny is gonna love our birthday song.

But my dance moves aren't quite perfect.

Let's play it one more time to get it just right.

Oh, you guys, here she comes.

GONZO: Boy, I knew it.

MUPPETS: Happy birthday, Miss Nanny!

MISS NANNY: Wow! It looks like

this is gonna be one special birthday party!

Piggy and I have something to make it even more special.

We wrote you a birthday song.

We've been practicing and practicing.

It's going to be... (COUGHS)

(HOARSE VOICE) ...perfect.

That's great, Piggy. But you should take a break.

I don't want you to lose your voice.

That's a good idea, Piggy. Take a break.

That way you'll be ready to rock

when the birthday cake comes out.

MISS NANNY: Oh, that reminds me.

I was going to put strawberries on the cake.

(NORMAL VOICE) Stars do not need breaks.

What I need is for this song to be perfect.

Happy Bir... (COUGHING)

Piggy, your voice. What happened?

(STAMMERS HOARSELY) I don't know.

Maybe she lost it like Miss Nanny said.

Or maybe she's speaking hippopotamus.

I happen to know a few words myself.

(IMITATES HIPPOPOTAMUS)

Well, if Piggy lost her voice, how do we find it?

I don't know.

But I know someone who might.

ALL: Bunsen and Beaker!

-Meep, meep. -Yes.

Guys, Piggy lost her voice

and we don't know what to do.

Can you two help her?

With science, there's always a way to help.

ALL: Wow!

Welcome to Muppet Labs,

where the future is being made today.

Please follow me to the See-Inside-anator.

The what?

The See-Inside-anator will give us a picture

of what's happening inside Piggy's body.

(MEEPS)

That's right. It won't hurt a bit.

ALL: Whoa!

BUNSEN: There's her funny bone

and her heart and her tummy,

which means her voice box should be right... (GASPS)

Piggy's voice box is missing!

Ugh, I knew it.

Wait. What's a voice box?

A voice box is,

well, it's what gives you your voice.

Without it, you can't talk or shout.

(BOX SINGING)

Or sing.

Well, if you take a break like Miss Nanny said,

maybe it'll come back.

But if it's not back by the time

Miss Nanny brings the cake out,

we can't do our song.

Isn't there another way?

Hmm.

Well, we might have something else that can solve the problem.

Behold!

Uh, Bunsen, there's nothing there.

So it would seem.

But look through this magnifying glass.

(ALL EXCLAIM)

BUNSEN: It's a spaceship so small,

you could fly it inside of Piggy

and find her voice box.

We'll have you ready to sing

just in time for cake-o'clock.

But, Bunsen, we're too big

to fit inside that teeny, tiny ship.

No problem.

Beaker and I will use our Shrink-O-Ray

to make you teeny-tiny, too.

And I'll stay here with Piggy to keep an eye on her.

BUNSEN: Excellent.

Beaker, activate the ray.

Mee, mee.

-(COIN CLINKS) -(RAY POWERING UP)

ALL: Whoa!

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

(HEAVY FOOTSTEPS STOMPING)

Mee, mee, mee!

ALL: Yay!

BUNSEN: (OVER RADIO) Testing. One, two.

Can you hear me?

SUMMER: Roger that, Bunsen.

We can hear you loud and clear.

Excellent. I'm sending you the map of Piggy now.

-Got it. -Okay, crew. Let's get that voice box.

-Hit it, Animal. -Okay.

(BUZZING)

Piggy, say, "Ah!"

Ah!

MUPPETS: Whoa!

SUMMER: It worked! We're inside of Piggy!

And right where the voice box should be.

GONZO: Bunsen was right though. It's gone.

Don't worry.

We'll bring it right back here when we find it.

FOZZIE: But how do we do that?

Uh, Piggy, try reciting something, uh, but gently.

Oh, um...

♪ Old MacDonald had a farm ♪

♪ E-I-E-I-O ♪

-FOZZIE: There it is! -SUMMER: Bunsen, we've sighted the box.

On our way to get it back.

Well, Piggy,

it sounds like you'll have your voice back in no time.

(MEEPING)

Oh, fiddle-faddle.

My gooey glue is bubbling over.

-Summer, I'm handing you off to Rowlf. -SUMMER: Copy that.

According to the map, we're approaching the funny bone.

FOZZIE: Ah! My favorite place!

SUMMER: And there's the voice box.

-Ready on the Catch-O-Matic, Gonzo? -You bet.

SUMMER: Just keep Piggy still and we'll have it back in no time.

GONZO: Nice and easy...

Hey, since we're at the funny bone,

I should tell a funny joke.

Hey, Piggy.

What kind of bone can you play as an instrument?

A trombone.

-Get it? Trombone? -(GIGGLING)

SUMMER: Uh, guys.

That's a good one, Fozzie. But I know a better one.

Piggy, you shouldn't...

What did the skeleton say before dinner?

Bone-appétit!

(GIGGLING)

I can't get the voice box when Piggy's laughing.

ALL: Aw!

Piggy, telling jokes and laughing isn't taking a break.

-What can I do then? -I don't know.

Just do something that doesn't use your voice, dig?

Now let me get you a glass of water.

Hmm. (GASPS) Oh!

Where are we now, Kermit?

According to the map, we should be approaching Piggy's heart.

ANIMAL: Sound like drums.

SUMMER: That's the heartbeat, Animal.

It's going nice and slow 'cause Piggy's taking a break.

And there's the voice box.

Deploying the Catch-O-Matic.

Come to Gonzo.

-(LOUD THUMPING) -The heartbeat's getting really loud!

Yeah. And why's it speeding up?

(HUMMING)

GONZO: I'm losing it! I'm losing it!

(GONZO YELPING)

How do you get water out of this thing?

SUMMER: Rowlf, what's Piggy doing?

We can't grab the box.

-Huh? -(HUMMING)

Oh, no.

Piggy, stop jumping around.

But you said to do something that didn't use my voice.

And I still need to practice all my dance moves.

There it goes.

-We lost the voice box again. -Oh!

Piggy, dancing around isn't taking a break either.

-But you said... -I know what I said. It's just...

BUNSEN: Uh, Rowlf?

Uh, do you think you might assist us for a moment?

Oh, be right there!

Look, just stay on the bed, don't use your voice,

-and don't jump around, okay? -Okay.

(SIGHS)

(GRUMBLING)

According to the map, we've reached Piggy's stomach.

SUMMER: That voice box has gotta be close.

Take us in, Animal.

Nice and easy.

ANIMAL: Wow!

GONZO: This is making me hungry.

Are you sure we can fly through this, Summer?

All this food is really big.

We'll be okay.

Just as long as Piggy keeps quiet

and takes a break.

-(MEEPING) -(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Oh, boy.

There, I see it!

-All right, crew. You know what to... -(ALL SCREAMING)

What was that?

(PLAYING ROCK MUSIC)

-ANIMAL: Oh, boy. -(SCREAMING CONTINUES)

We're gonna lose it again.

Uh-uh. Hang on!

ALL: Whoa!

Oh, not again.

(ALL SCREAMING)

There's too much food.

We gotta get out until the shaking stops.

Piggy, rocking out on the guitar isn't taking a break either.

-It's not? -No.

Guys, you still there?

-(ALL GROANING) -Yeah.

But we can't get to the voice box with everything shaking around.

We may have lost it for good this time.

Oh, no. I messed up again.

We'll never get it back in time to sing Miss Nanny's birthday song.

(SOBBING)

Hey, hey. It's okay.

It's all gonna be all right.

How can you be so calm?

Don't you care whether we sing the song or not?

Of course I do.

But you know what Miss Nanny wants even more than to hear our song?

-What? -For you to have your voice.

That's why she asked you to take a break,

so you wouldn't get tired out or hurt yourself.

She loves us. And as long

as we're all happy,

healthy, and together,

it'll be the best birthday ever.

Precisely.

-(MEEPS) -(CRASHING)

(SNIFFLES) I understand.

-(MEEPING) -Oh, dear.

That alarm means it's only five minutes till cake-o'clock!

I'm not sure if there's enough time left for the others

-to get Piggy's voice box. -There is.

Because this time

I'm really taking a break.

Hear that, guys. You're all clear.

Roger that. Punch it, Animal.

Four minutes till cake-o'clock.

Voice box sighted.

Deploying Catch-O-Matic.

Three minutes till cake-o'clock.

-GONZO: Steady. -Just keep calm, Piggy.

-(MEEPING) -Two minutes.

-GONZO: Got it! -Go, Animal. Go!

One minute!

We're not gonna make it!

Yes, we are!

Yahoo!

(SINGING)

ALL: Yay!

My voice! It's back!

And just in the nick of time.

(ALARM RINGS)

Who's ready for my birthday party?

BOTH: We are! (LAUGHING)

BOTH: ♪ Happy Birthday, Miss Nanny ♪

♪ Happy Birthday, Miss Nanny ♪

After all that, I think we need a break.
