Quotes

Kermit : [during Talk spot] Well, Rita, what we have now is what we call our 'Talk Spot', where the guest star sits and talks casually with the frog.
Rita Moreno : Yeah, yeah, I know, Kermit. But can I say something? Haven't you noticed that on all these variety shows, the guess stars always come off so phony? I mean, you KNOW that they're rehearsed. You KNOW that they are reading cue cards.
Kermit : But, Rita, on our show...
[looks past the camera as if reading cue cards]
Kermit : But, Rita... wait a minute... But, but Rita on our show WE do not use any cue cards, Rita... On our show... we do not...
Rita Moreno : KERMIT!

The Newsman : Dateline: Fresno. Mr. Thomas Gally... or Galley... spent the last 27 months teaching his pet chicken to dance classical ballet. Last Saturday, the chicken passed her auditions and became a member of the Royal Copenhagen Ballet. Unfortunately, Mrs. Galley didn't wish to move to Denmark, so she fricasseed the ballerina for lunch.
