MISS NANNY: I found the clay, Summer. Here, I'll scoop you a piece.

Oh, that's not gonna work.

Icicles, Miss Nanny. That clay looks really hard.

MISS NANNY: Yeah, it's pretty old.

I'll look for some new clay after I finish making lunch.

Thanks, Miss Nanny.

(WHISTLES) Would you look at that!

That looks just like the Spoon in the Stone.

-FOZZIE: The what? -(ALL GASP)

You guys never heard The Spoon in the Stone?

Classic story.

Right up there with Little Red Riding Fork.

or Goldilocks and the Three Spatulas.

-Well, how does it go? -(ALL CHATTERING)

I'll show you.

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago,

there was these knights

roaming the land on a quest to find something special.

Ooh, like treasure?

Even better!

A magical spoon stuck in a stone.

Its name was Spooncalibur!

ALL: Whoa!

And only the greatest knight in all the land

could pull the spoon free.

What made that knight the greatest?

Eh, I don't know, Rowlf, but one of 'em did it.

Wow. I'd love to be a knight and go on a quest.

I would make a great knight.

No one would be as stunt-acular as me.

Oh, I think moi would make an even more fabulous knight.

No! Animal the greatest knight.

We can't all be the greatest knight,

but how do we know which one of us is the greatest?

-(ALL CHATTERING) -RIZZO: Beats me.

There's only one way to find out.

You'll have to quest for the Spoon in the Stone.

-(ALL CHEER) -ANIMAL: Animal quest!

All right, then let the story begin!

(VOCALIZING)

Hi-ho. Kermit the bard here.

That's an old-timey way of saying "storyteller,"

and I think the very best way to tell this story

is to sing it.

♪ Four brave knights rode into town ♪

♪ So very far from home ♪

♪ They thought they were the greatest knights ♪

♪ The world had ever known ♪

(VOCALIZING)

-Greetings, villager. -Hiya, brave knights.

I'm Fozzie, owner of Ye Olde Joke Shoppe.

Who might you be?

'Tis I, Piggy the Pink Knight.

I put the "fab" in fabulousness.

Wow!

And I'm Sir Gonzo-lot the Stunt-acular!

Whoopee! (LAUGHS) Ta-da!

Wow!

I Sir Animal the Loud.

-Huzzah! -(BIRDS SQUAWKING)

Whoa!

-And I'm Penguinevere the Kind. -Nice to meet you.

Good sir, do you know the way to the Spoon in the Stone?

The Spoon in the Stone?

They say it's down that path by the Bouncy Pond Lake.

But you don't wanna go there.

Why not?

-(CREATURE ROARING) -(ALL GASP)

(BIRDS SQUAWKING)

That's why.

There's a loud, angry dragon

that lives right beside the Bouncy Pond Lake.

A dragon, you say? (SCOFFS)

Knights never get scared.

Onward, knights, to the Spoon in the Stone.

ALL: Huzzah!

Hey, before you go,

can you knights help me find my barrel o' laughs?

I misplaced it somewhere inside Ye Olde Joke Shoppe.

Oh, I would love to help,

but looking around a dusty old shop

might mess up my fabulous armor.

Ta-ta!

How about you, Sir Gonzo-lot?

Sorry, pal. I only do spectacular knight stuff.

Looking for your barrel sounds a little bit, uh,

humdrum.

-Oh. How about you? -(SHOUTING) Animal charge!

Spoon, spoon, spoon, spoon! (LAUGHS)

MISS PIGGY: Come on, Penguinevere the Kind.

Let's get back to questing.

I think I'll stay here and see if I can help.

I'll catch up with you as soon as I can.

Suit yourself.

♪ Penguinevere, of all the knights ♪

♪ Stayed in the town alone ♪

♪ To help the villager ♪

♪ Before she sought the Spoon in Stone ♪

♪ She knocked his barrel off the shelf ♪

♪ And helped him with his jokin' ♪

♪ While meanwhile all the other knights ♪

♪ Approached a wagon broken ♪

(VOCALIZING)

Hey, youse knights,

how 'bout lending a rat a helping hand?

My cart broke,

and I gotta get this cheese to Ye Olde Cheese Shoppe.

Alas, kind rat, we are much too busy to stop and help.

We're on a quest to find the Spoon in the Stone

and prove moi is the greatest knight in the land.

No. Animal pull spoon. Animal is greatest!

Let's agree to disagree, shall we?

-Onward, brave knights. -Tallyho!

Huzzah! (LAUGHS)

Gee, thanks for nothing.

(HORSE NEIGHS)

Good day, sir. Are you all right?

No. I gotta get my cheese to town,

but my cart is broken.

I don't suppose youse could help me?

Well...

I don't want my friends

to pull the spoon from the stone without me,

but I really would like to help.

Aha! Me thinks I have a plan.

♪ Penguinevere, she had a plan ♪

♪ As she had plainly spoken ♪

♪ The cheese was round just like the wheel ♪

♪ That on the ground lay broken ♪

♪ They placed it where the wheel had been ♪

♪ To fix up Rizzo's wagon ♪

♪ And while they worked ♪

♪ The other knights drew nearer to the dragon ♪

(VOCALIZING)

At last, Bouncy Pond Lake.

And look, there's the Spoon in the Stone.

MISS PIGGY: Yes, but it's right in front of the dragon's cave.

We better grab it quick,

before the dragon realizes we're here.

You mean, I better grab it.

Stand back, and watch Sir Gonzo-lot prove

that he's the greatest knight in all the land!

(GRUNTING) I'm stunt-acular!

Boy, that's really stuck in there.

Step aside, Sir Gonzo-lot.

You cannot pull Spooncalibur from the stone

because it is moi

who is the greatest knight in the land.

All right. You give it a try.

Super fabulous knight power, go!

(GRUNTING)

(GROANS)

The spoon clearly doesn't know fabulous when it sees it.

Sir Animal got this.

(YELLING) Spoon, get out of stone!

Shh!

(GRUNTING) Spoon still stuck.

I don't understand.

How come none of us can pull the spoon out?

(WATER BUBBLING)

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

Who are you?

I'm Rowlf, the guard doggy of the lake.

My job is to watch over the spoon,

for only a great knight can pull it from the stone.

Well, we're the greatest knights in all the land.

Yeah, and we can't move it an inch.

What gives?

Knights are worthy, kind and true

in all the helpful things they do.

It's not about beauty, brains or might.

A great knight always does what's right.

-Mark well my words. -(ALL GASP)

(SLURPING)

Ah, man. I blew my exit.

Let me try that again.

Mark well my words.

(PANTING) Hey, guys. (GASPS) Is that the Sp...

-Guard doggy of the lake! -Don't leave!

-Where did you go? -Come back, doggy!

Wait, why are you yelling?

The dragon's gonna know we're...

(DRAGON ROARS)

-...here. -(ALL GASP)

-(ROARS) -(ALL SCREAMING)

♪ The dragon was a... ♪

-(ROARS) -(SCREAMS)

Uh, Sir Gonzo-lot, if you are the greatest knight,

I think you should face that dragon.

But... Me? No way.

I think Sir Animal the Loud should do it.

-(MUTTERS) -(DRAGON ROARS)

Then I guess it's up to me.

Penguinevere, what are you doing?

What else? Helping my friends.

-(ROARING) -Dragon, please stop roaring so loud.

You're scaring all of us.

I'm sorry, little knight.

I can't help it. I'm just so sad.

(CRIES AND SNORTS)

-ALL: Sad? -What's the matter?

I made a delicious pot of flaming veggie soup,

but all my silverware melted,

and now I have nothing to eat it with,

and I'm so hungry! (CRIES AND SNORTS)

Don't cry, Dragon.

I'll find something to help you.

Hey! What about this spoon?

(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC PLAYING)

-(GASPING) -Oh, wow!

Here you go.

MISS PIGGY: Penguinevere, you did it.

You pulled the spoon from the stone.

-And you're not stunt-acular. -Or fabulous.

Or loud!

Oh, yeah. I guess I did.

But I was just trying to help the dragon.

-(ALL GASP) -That's it!

Yeah. It's not about beauty, brains or might.

A good knight always does what's right.

-She helps others. -ROWLF: Indeed she does.

-ALL: Guard dog of the lake! -Hey, buddy.

Penguinevere, you helped everyone you met today,

and that's what being a knight is truly all about.

I therefore officially dub thee

the greatest knight in all the land.

-ALL: Huzzah! -Penguinevere!

♪ Her need was sorely pressing ♪

♪ She served them all her flaming soup ♪

(KERMIT VOCALIZING)

-(ALL CHEERING) -RIZZO: Way to go!

Great singing, Kermit.

MISS NANNY: Okay, everyone, lunch time. It's veggie stew.

Summer, it's your turn to put the bowls around the table.

Sure, Miss Nanny.

Better yet, Summer, let us help.

-Really? -Yeah!

It would be our pleasure.

All right, enough singing. Let's eat.

GONZO: "Gonzonocchio."

MR. MANNY: "And then Cassie, the baby kangaroo,

"hopped into her mother's pouch

"and went to sleep.

"The end."

-ALL: Aw! -Books rock!

MR. MANNY: (LAUGHS) They sure do, Animal,

and we've got lots of books here at the library

that you can borrow and take home.

Isn't that... (IN SING-SONG VOICE) groovy?

(ALL CHEERING)

MISS NANNY: All right, then.

Let's all go and choose a book.

-ALL: All right! -(ANIMAL LAUGHS)

Hmm.

MR. MANNY: What's wrong, Gonzo?

Well, I've read most of the picture books here,

and I don't know what to borrow.

MR. MANNY: Hmm. Have you tried Pinocchio?

It's a cool story about a little wooden boy.

Hey, he's got a big, beautiful nose like mine.

MR. MANNY: He sure does, but in this story,

Pinocchio's nose grows even bigger

when he tells a lie.

(GASPS) You mean, he said something that wasn't true?

MR. MANNY: Yup. His nose grows so long,

it gets him into a lot of crazy adventures.

Wow, that book sounds great. Thanks, Mr. Manny.

MR. MANNY: Hope you like it.

Miss Nanny, can I take this book home to show Potato?

MISS NANNY: Of course, Gonzo,

but you have to promise

to take better care of this book than you did the last one.

It was a book about stunts.

How was I to know you're not allowed to blast it out of a cannon?

-MISS NANNY: (LAUGHS) Oh, Gonzo. -All right.

This time I promise to take extra good care of my library book.

MISS NANNY: All right, then.

So, if everyone's checked out their book,

let's all get on the bus.

-(HORN HONKS) -ALL: Whoo!

-ALL: Yeah! -(ANIMAL LAUGHS)

Greetings, everyone.

Oh. Hey, Bunsen and Beaker.

We borrowed the book you asked for.

Oh, thank you!

With this book about ping-pong,

we could finish building our ping-pong-playing robot.

(MEEPING)

Yes, it does need a little work,

so we'll be in the lab if you need us.

ALL: Bye-bye.

Well, I'm gonna go read the book I borrowed to Potato.

(CAMILLA CLUCKING)

Sure, Camilla. We'd love to play

hide-and-go-peep with you. Right, guys?

-(ALL CHEERING) -(LAUGHS)

Hide-and-go-peep? That's my favorite.

Ah, maybe I can read Pinocchio to Potato after the game.

All right, Animal. You and Camilla count, and we'll go hide.

Okay.

-One, two... -(CAMILLA CLUCKING)

ANIMAL: Nine bazillion.

Ready or not, here we come!

-Found you, Kermit. -Can't catch me.

-Peep, peep, peep. -(CLUCKING)

Oh, Animal found Fozzie!

I'm not Fozzie. I'm a tomato.

Oh. Ah, Animal find Gonzo!

-Peep, peep, peep, peep. -(ANIMAL LAUGHING)

ALL: Peep, peep, peep!

-(ALL GRUNT AND LAUGH) -Let's play again.

I'd love to, but I really wanna show my new book to Potato.

Hey, Potato. Wait till I read you this!

Wait. Where's my book? Where'd it go?

Oh, Potato, I promised Miss Nanny

I'd take extra good care of my library book this time.

If anyone else finds out I lost it, I'm gonna be in big trouble.

Hey, Gonzo. Can I look at your book with you and Potato?

Um, no, because I... Um, don't have it.

Gonzo, did you lose your library book?

(GASPS) You lost your library book?

Lose it? No, no, no. I didn't lose it.

It was, uh, taken. Yeah.

By, um... Uh... Uh...

-Chickens. -(CLUCKS)

That's it. (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

After we got back from the library,

the Bad Eggs came out of nowhere

and took my library book without even asking.

-(ALL MURMURING INDISTINCTLY) -What are we gonna do?

Yup. The Bad Eggs took my book.

(GASPS) Potato, my nose.

It grew when I told a lie, just like Pinocchio.

-Hey, Gonzo. -(YELPS)

Um, do you look different?

No, uh, maybe you've just never, uh, seen me wear this shirt before.

Ooh, it's nice.

Uh, but anyway, we've decided we wanna go with you

to tell those Bad Eggs to give you your book back.

You are?

Yeah! Come on!

(GONZO YELPS)

FOZZIE: Hey, you Bad Eggs!

(CLUCKS)

Vous need to give our friend Gonzo his book back right now.

Yeah. Bad chickens!

(CLUCKING)

You don't have Gonzo's book?

(CLUCKING)

You've been here playing basketball all day?

Uh, did I say the library book was taken by a chicken?

Uh, I meant it was hidden.

Hidden, chicken.

Yeah, I've made that mistake, too.

Exactly. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

So, there I was with my library book,

when all of a sudden, out jumped a...

Uh... Uh... Uh...

A whale!

ALL: A whale?

Yup. I was getting off the bus,

when a mean old whale came out of nowhere and hid my book in its mouth.

The last thing I saw was its polka-dotted tail as it swam away.

Uh, Gonzo, did your nose just get bigger?

What? (CHUCKLES) Don't be ridonculous.

Uh, what say we just forget about that silly old book,

am I right?

Of course we're not going to just forget about it. We want to help.

Come on, crew. Let's set sail and find that whale.

ALL: Aye-aye, Captain Kermit.

Whale-ho, Captain Kermit.

-Wait, what? -(SEAGULL SQUAWKS)

Oh, that can't be the same whale that took my book.

We should just go home.

SUMMER: And he's got a polka-dotted tail.

(GROANS)

Ahoy there, mateys.

Wow, I love your pirate ship!

For a big, mean old book-stealing whale, he sure is friendly.

Friendly or not, we came to get Gonzo's book back.

He says you hid it in your mouth.

Me? I don't have your book.

See for yourself. Ah!

He's right. It's not in there.

But, Gonzo, you said the whale hid your book.

Uh, did I say whale?

No, no, no. I meant...

Uh... Um... Uh...

A rowboat! I mean, robot. Yeah.

It was a robot. It took my book and flew away.

Look! Gonzo nose grow.

-(LAUGHS) Well, it's probably... -ALL: Whoa!

-...all that milk we're drinking, right? -ALL: Whoa!

And since that robot is long gone,

let's just go home

-and have some more, huh? -ALL: Whoa!

(LAUGHING NERVOUSLY)

Wait, weren't Bunsen and Beaker building a robot?

Wait, what?

I bet it's the same one. Let's get it!

-ALL: Yay! -ANIMAL: Robot!

(GROANS)

One more adjustment, Beaker, and our robot is finished.

-(MEEPING) -KERMIT: Bunsen, Beaker.

We need to talk to your robot about taking Gonzo's library book.

ALL: Yeah!

What? That's impossible.

Our ping-pong robot has been here with us all day.

-Gonzo. -Yup?

It sounds like the robot didn't take your book.

Or the whale.

Or Bad Eggs.

Are you sure you've been telling us the truth?

You think I would lie to you guys? No way!

Uh-uh!

Oh, no. You turned on

the ping-pong robot's ultra-mega challenge mode.

Uh-oh.

Run for your lives!

(ALL SCREAMING)

(SCREAMS) Bunsen, how do we turn the robot off?

Oh, it's easy. You just have to hit the button again.

Well, maybe not that easy.

So, how do we get to the button?

I don't know!

(GROANS) I've gotten my friends into a real ping-pong pickle,

and no one knows what to do.

(GASPS) Wait.

I knows what to do!

ROBOT: A new challenger approaches.

Game...

Set...

Gonzo!

(GRUNTS AND SHOUTS)

-ROBOT: Good game. -(GRUNTS)

You did it, Gonzo.

You beat the Ping-Pong-O-Bot with your

absolutely gi-huge-ic nose.

Yeah. Why is your nose so big?

Well, uh, what happened is, um...

Well, uh... My nose is so big because...

(SIGHS) I lied!

I lied about the Bad Eggs,

I lied about the whale, and I lied about the robot.

And every time I lied, my nose grew like Pinocchio's.

But, Gonzo, why would you lie to us?

Because I didn't want you to know the truth,

that I lost my library book.

Gonzo, look!

What? Is my nose getting even bigger?

No. It's going back to normal.

It is, because I finally told the truth.

But, Gonzo,

what are you going to do about your lost library book?

The only thing I can do.

Go tell Miss Nanny the truth.

MISS NANNY: Hey, is everybody ready for apple slices?

Actually, Miss Nanny, no.

Because I have something I need to tell you.

I lost my library book.

MISS NANNY: Oh, no. Do you remember where you had it last?

Well, I had it when we were playing hide-and-go-peep,

and then I went behind the chicken coup and... (GASPS)

My book! I must have left it here when we were playing.

MISS NANNY: I'm glad you told me the truth, Gonzo,

but from now on, you really need to take better care of your things.

I sure will, Miss Nanny.

MISS NANNY: Okay. Well, I'm gonna go get milk boxes for snack time.

Now that I have my book back,

I can finally show it to Potato.

You guys wanna come?

ALL: Yeah!

"And after Pinocchio the puppet told the truth,

"his nose went back to normal.

"The end."

Pretty amaze-arific story, eh, Potato?

Ooh, you look like you could use a snack.

Hey, what happened to my apple slices?

Uh, Buddy eat them?

(LAUGHS) It was Animal!
