"The Muppet Show" Lola Falana (TV Episode 1979) - Jim Henson as Kermit the Frog, Waldorf

Gonzo : Oh, please, Kermit! Kiss kiss, grovel grovel!

Kermit the Frog : Stop kissing my flipper! Gonzo! Have you no dignity?

Gonzo : Of course not. How long have we worked together?
Waldorf : You know, it's too bad Gonzo's leaving the show.

Statler : Yeah. I can think of some other people I'd rather see leave the show.

Waldorf : Who?

Statler : Me.
[Gonzo is singing "My Way" as his finale song before leaving for a film career in Bombay, but he breaks down crying]

Kermit the Frog : Gonzo? Are you okay, Gonzo? It's just a song.

Gonzo : I know. It's not the song. I just don't want to go.

Kermit the Frog : But you're going to go out and make movies.

Gonzo : I want to go there. I just don't want to leave here.

Kermit the Frog : You had a choice to make, Gonzo, and you made it, and it was a good choice.

Gonzo : I know.

Kermit the Frog : I don't like long goodbyes, Gonzo, so...

[reaches his hand out to shake Gonzo's; Gonzo hugs Kermit]

Kermit the Frog : Take care of yourself, Gonzo.

Gonzo : You, too.

[sniffles]

Kermit the Frog : [to camera] We've had a little change of plans. I think we better just take a break.

[leaves with his arm around Gonzo's shoulder]
Statler : You know, Gonzo would have been perfect for that movie he was going to star in.

Waldorf : What movie was that?

Statler : "The Revenge of the Little Blue Geek".

[both laugh]
