Quotes 

• Ernie : [as Bert reads off from his speech]  Hey, Bert...

  [plucks his nose off his face] 

  Ernie : Your nose is loose, Bert.

  [laughs] 

  Bert : [muffed voice]  Ernie, that is *not* funny.

  Ernie : But that's the old Nose Joke, Bert. It's been around since Sesame Street started in 1969.

  [puts his nose back on him] 

  Bert : That's true. You *have* been doing that to me for 17 years!

  Ernie : I know, Bert, but don't thank me; it's my job.

• [first lines] 

  Fozzie Bear : Yes, I know it's hard to believe, but the Muppets are thirty years old!

  Waldorf : [to Statler]  That's okay with me. I love being thirty!

  Statler : You old fool, your pacemaker's older than that!

• Fozzie Bear : Oh, excuse me, everybody! Now it is my turn to say something very, very special about our wonderful frog here.

  Kermit the Frog : Uh, Fozzie, let's not get mushy.

  Fozzie Bear : [shocked]  Oh, frog of my heart! Is it mushy to say thank you for the faith that you've had in us all?

  [the huge crowd of Muppets all gather around the two while somber music plays in the background] 

  Fozzie Bear : Is it mushy to say thank you for making us a success in the show business? For all the hours of joy you have brought to the world?

  Kermit the Frog : Uh, Fozzie...

  Miss Piggy : He isn't kidding, you know, Kermit.

  Sgt. Floyd Pepper : Yeah, listen to the bear, my frog.

  Fozzie Bear : [on the verge of tears]  And so, Kermit... I just... I just want to say...

  [he starts sobbing] 

  Fozzie Bear : Oh, I can't go on; would you roll the film?
