Subtitles: (WHITE)

(On a night sky background, we see a star, a la Pinocchio. Then, some clouds appear, a la Mary Poppins, and a pirate ship, a la Peter Pan. We then see the castle, a la Cinderella, done in CGI, while different fireworks are appearing. A circular line is drawn over the castle (in the same vein as the previous logo), then the castle enters many dots from the bottom of the screen to reveal "DiSNEY", in the post-1979 Disney script logo font, albeit slightly revised. The circular line is nearly staying visible on the logo. Cantus, the Norwegian female choir and Frode Fjellheim performs "Eatnemen Vuelie" lullaby and plays it over the logo)
(A gold paper flips in the logo onto screen, drawing a red outline of Mickey Mouse wearing a steamboat hat. The paper finishes flipping as an outline of Mickey turns into a scene from the 1928 Disney cartoon Steamboat Willie, and below the picture, the words "WALT DiSNEY" write themselves in the signature corporate font (with a slight modification), with "ANIMATION STUDIOS" fading in underneath. Cantus, the Norwegian female choir and Frode Fjellheim performs "Eatnemen Vuelie" lullaby and plays it over the logo)
(On a black background, a blue laser carves out a line across the screen. The line flips towards the screen, revealing a blue outline of Kermit the Frog, who is then filled with color from left to right. Kermit shines brightly, then he is swallowed by a dot of light that dances across the screen, which from left to right sweeps out the words. The television logo would either be still or it would have the dot for the i flying on top of the text: Jim Henson PICTURES then flies back to the logo to dot the "I". Cantus, the Norwegian female choir and Frode Fjellheim performs "Eatnemen Vuelie" lullaby and plays it over the logo)
(The message reads: Dedicated to Jerry Nelson (1934-2012). The message appears with clips from The Great Muppet Caper, The Muppet Movie, Muppet Treasure Island, and The Muppet Christmas Carol with characters played, including Floyd Pepper, Lew Zealand, Pops, Robin the Frog, Crazy Harry, Camilla the Chicken, Statler as the Ship Figurehead and Jacob Marley, Mad Monty, Blind Pew, and the Ghost of Christmas Present. Cantus, the Norwegian female choir and Frode Fjellheim performs "Eatnemen Vuelie" lullaby and plays it over the logo)
(EXT. MELINDA'S PALACE – NIGHT. The fireworks exploded, marking "The End." "When Will My Life Begin? (Finale/Reprise)" ends)
MAN: And cut!
(KERMIT THE FROG, the Muppet star and the captain of the Muppets, MELINDA (age 19), and MISS PIGGY, the diva superstar were so happy that the events of Give a Day. Get a Disney Day. was finally over)

(But there was no one here)
Rowlf: Actually, those were extras.
Fozzie: I saw a few tapping their toes.
Scooter: Yeah, those were paid dancers.
(Fozzie was disappointed)
Fozzie: Oh.
(Miss Piggy saw her moment and seized it)
MISS PIGGY: Or… Maybe since we're all here, now could be the perfect time for you and me to tie the knot, Kermie!
Kermit: (STAMMERING) Well, I mean, maybe I could.
(Melinda turned her attention to the camera)
Melinda: Hey, what's the camera still doing here?

Zucchini Brother 2: Hey!
Zucchini Brother 3: Pepperoni!
(The smoke rings pass by and confetti rains down while the title: GIVE A DAY. GET A DISNEY DAY., dropped in)
(The title still reads: GIVE A DAY. GET A DISNEY DAY. But the 2 freezes next to it)
(ICE. We're underwater looking up at it. A saw cuts through, heading right for us)
(EXT. SNOW-CAPED MOUNTAIN – DUSK. ICE HARVESTERS, dressed in traditional clothing, score a frozen lake)
Ice Harvesters: (SINGING) Born of cold and winter air
And mountain rain combining,
This icy force both foul and fair
Has a frozen heart worth mining.
(The men drag giant ice blocks through channels of water)
Ice Harvesters: Cut through the heart, cold and clear.
Strike for love and strike for fear.
See the beauty sharp and sheer.
(A young royal gramma fish, CHLORINE (8) and his reindeer calf, SVEN, share a carrot as they try to keep up with the men)
Ice Harvesters: Split the ice apart!
And break the frozen heart.
Hup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go!
Hup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go!
(Chlorine struggles to get a block of ice out of the water. He falls, ends up soaked. Sven licks his wet cheek)
Ice Harvesters: Beautiful! Powerful! Dangerous! Cold!
Ice has a magic can't be controlled.
(A sharp ice flows overtakes the workers, threateningly. They fight it back)
Ice Harvesters: Stronger than one, stronger than ten
Stronger than a hundred men!
(Massive seahorses drag heavy ice plows)
Ice Harvesters: Born of cold and winter air
And mountain rain combing
(The sun sets. Lanterns are lit)
Ice Harvesters: This icy force both foul and fair
Has a frozen heart worth mining.
Cut through the heart, cold and clear.
(In the dark, Chlorine and Sven finally manage to get a single block of ice out of the water)
Ice Harvesters: Strike for love and strike for fear.
There's beauty and there's danger here.
Split the ice apart!
Beware the frozen heart.
(The workers pile onto the giant horse-drawn ice sled as it pulls away)
(Left behind, Chlorine and Sven push their ice block onto a dinky little sled then head off)

(EXT. NURSERY, THE WINTER WOODS PALACE – EVENING. GROTTO (age 8) and SEA SALT (age 8) sleep in their bed. Their little roommate, CLAMINA (age 5) pops up beside them)
Young Clamina: Grotto. Psst! Grotto! Psst.
(Grotto doesn't stir. Clamina sits on Grotto and bounces)
Young Clamina: Wake up. Wake up. Wake up!
Young Grotto: (grumbling) Clamina, go back to sleep.
(Clamina rolls onto her back and spreads all her weight on Grotto)
Young Clamina: (SIGHS) (drama queen-ish) I just can't. The sky's awake, so I'm awake. So we have to play.
Young Sea Salt: Go play by yourself.
(Sea Salt shoves Clamina off the bed)
(Clamina lands butt to floor, sighs, defeated. But then she gets an idea. She hops back on the bed and lifts one of Grotto's eyelids)
Young Clamina: (mischievously) Do you want to build a snowman?
(Grotto's eyes both pop open. She smiles)
(INT. CASTLE STAIRCASE – EVENING. Clamina, now wearing her winter boots, pulls Grotto and Sea Salt by their hands)

(INT. BALLROOM – EVENING. The girls sneak into the ballroom. Sea Salt shuts the door)
CLAMINA: Do the magic! Do the magic!
(Grotto laughs and waves her hands together. Snowflakes suddenly burst forth and dance between her palms, forming a snowball)
Young Clamina: Oh…
Young Grotto: Ready?
Young Clamina: Uh-huh. (CHUCKLES)
(Grotto throws the snowball high into the air. Snow bursts out and flurries around the room. Clamina dances, about, catching flakes in her palms and mouth)
Young Clamina: This is amazing! (SCREAMING EXCITEDLY)
Young Sea Salt: Watch this!
(Sea Salt stomps her little foot and a layer of ice suddenly coats the floor, forming a giant ice rink. Clamina slides off, giggling)
(PLAY MONTAGE. -Clamina, Grotto, and Sea Salt roll giant snowballs and build a snowman together. Grotto moves his sticks arms around)
Young Grotto: (goofy voice) Hi, I'm Calypso and I like warm hugs.

(-Clamina and Calypso appear to be dancing. REVEAL: Grotto and Sea Salt is actually propelling them across the ice floor with her magic)
CLAMINA: Calypso…
(The girls slide down snowbanks together!)
Young Clamina: Tickle bumps!
(Clamina fearlessly jumps off a snow peak into mid air)
Young Sea Salt: Hang on!
Young Clamina: Catch me!
(Grotto makes another peak to catch Clamina)
Young Grotto: Gotcha!
(Clamina keeps jumping. Sea Salt keeps casting magic)
Young Clamina: (jumping faster) Again!
Young Sea Salt: (struggling to keep up) Wait! Slow down!
(Sea Salt suddenly slips)
Young Sea Salt: Clami!
(Her magic accidentally STRIKES Clamina in the back. Clamina tumbles down a snowbank and lands, unconscious. Grotto and Sea Salt run to Clamina and Grotto takes her in her arms)
Young Sea Salt: Clami!
(Her wings were born in Clamina's back, like growing flowers, and it began turning blue)
Young Sea Salt: Mama! Papa! (SOBBING) No, no…
(The room around them fills with frightening ice spikes, causing the snowman to fall apart)
Young Sea Salt: You're okay, Clami. I got you.
(The parents, KING AGDAR and QUEEN IDUN burst through the frozen door. GASP at the sight of the room)
King Agdar: Sea Salt, what have you done? This is getting out of hand.
Queen Idun: (seeing Clamina) Clamina!
(King Agdar and Queen Idun rush to Clamina and take her in their arms)
Young Sea Salt: It was an accident. I'm sorry, Clamina!
Queen Idun: (about Clamina) Oh. She's ice cold.
King Agdar: I know where we have to go.
(INT. DARK ROOM – NIGHT. King Agdar sifts through a shelf to find an ancient book inscribed with Old Norse runes. He opens the book, scrambles to a page with an ancient map)
(When the map falls from the page, it reveals the drawing of a troll, which seemed to be holding the lights in its hands. In front of of the troll, a wounded human lay quiet while the troll used the magic of the lights to heal him)
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – NIGHT. Carrying the girls, King Agdar and Queen Idun ride their horses out of the kingdom. Snow streams from Clamina's hands, leaving a trail of ice behind them)
(EXT. FJORD MOUNTAIN FOREST, THE WINTER WOODS – NIGHT. A sleepy Chlorine and Sven travel alone through the dark valley. All of a sudden, King Agdar and Queen Idun race by with the girls, leaving the wake of ice)

Young Chlorine: Faster, Sven!
(EXT. THE VALLEY OF THE LIVING ROCK, THE WINTER WOODS – NIGHT. Chlorine and Sven stops at the edge of a deep valley. They hide behind a rock and peek out)
Young Chlorine: (WHISPERS) Sven!
(Down below, King Agdar holds a frightened Grotto and Sea Salt. Queen Idun holds the still unconscious Clamina)
King Agdar: Please! Help! It's my daughter.
(Suddenly, a bunch of rocks tumble down the valley toward them. It looks as though they'll be crushed!)
(But, luckily, the rocks stop at their feet. The rocks then unfold, revealing bright faces)
Troll: It's the King.
(The crowd parts for a troll as old as the Earth. They call him GRAND PABBIE. He approaches arthritically, but determined. Chlorine and Sven behind the crowd and peek out)
Young Chlorine: Trolls?
(A rock in front of them wakes up. Meet BULDA)
Bulda: Shush. I'm trying to listen.
(She grabs Chlorine and Sven by hands and hugs them close. She eyes them)
Bulda: Cuties. I'm gonna keep you.
(Grand Pabbie nods respectfully to King Agdar)
Grand Pabbie: Your Majesty. (referring to Grotto and Sea Salt) Born with the powers or cursed?
King Agdar: (STAMMERING) Born. And they're getting stronger.
Grand Pabbie: Here, here.
(Grand Pabbie then motions to Queen Idun to bring Clamina to her. She does. He examines her)
Grand Pabbie: (about Clamina) You are lucky it wasn't her heart. The heart is not so easily changed, but her wings could be grown and wilted.
King Agdar: Do what you must.
Grand Pabbie: I recommend we remove all magic. Even memories of magic to be safe. But don't worry. I'll leave the fun.
(Grand Pabbie pulls out a glowing blue energy from Clamina's grown wings. We see her memories floating right above her. Grand Pabbie changes all of her magical memories to ordinary memories – snowy play indoors with the girls in their nightgowns changes to outdoors on the winter fjords with the girls in winter gear. He puts the ordinary memories back in her head)
Grand Pabbie: (SIGHS) She will be okay.
Young Sea Salt: But she won't remember I have powers?
King Agdar: It's for the best.
Grand Pabbie: Listen to me, girls. Your power will only grow.
(As he speaks, he conducts the Northern Lights to show a silhouette of an adult Grotto and Sea Salt creating magical snowflakes)
Grand Pabbie: There is beauty in it… But also great danger.
(The snowflakes turn into a tornado)
Young Sea Salt: (GASPS)
GRAND PABBIE: You must learn to control it.
(In the Northern Lights, the tornado cause the dam to break and cause and flood)
Grand Pabbie: The deluge will be your enemy.
(Sea Salt gasps and buries her face in King Agdar's chest. King Agdar wraps his arms around Sea Salt, protectively)
KING AGDAR: No! We'll protect her. She can learn to control it. I'm sure.
(Over King Agdar's words we… The snow curtain falls)
King Agdar: (O.S.) Until then, I will make sure that the Winter Woods will be off-limits for Warm Citizens at International Global Pavilion Incorporated. And for the Cold Citizens, IGP Inc. is also off-limits. Every citizen needs to be kept safe, including Clamina.

Teen Clamina: Hang in there, Joan.
(-INT. EMPTY LIBRARY – DAY. Looks like no one's around)

All these empty rooms.

Teen Clamina: (MIMICKING TICKING)

Please let me in.
(Clami slides down against the door and sits with her head against it)

It's just you and me.
What are we gonna do?
(Weak, internal) Do you want to build a snowman?
(We move through the door…)
(-INT. GROTTO AND SEA SALT'S ROOM – DAY. Grotto and Sea Salt were sitting in the exact same pose as Clami. Their bedroom is frozen with ice. Snowflakes hang in the air, suspended by grief)

(It typed: GULAG 38B, SIBERIA, RUSSIA. 02:42)
(INT. PRISON HALLWAY, GULAG 38B – SNOWY NIGHT. Although armed guards and watchful dogs patrolled the prison, it was no match for one criminal mastermind: CONSTANTINE, the world's most dangerous frog. Looking almost exactly like Kermit the Frog, Constantine had one distinguishing mark: a mole on his upper lip)
(Peter Serafinowicz and other Gulag officers dine in a security room)
Peter Serafinowicz: Exactly why do we have an "Open All Doors" button? Seem kind of dangerous.
Guard: Eat your goulash.
(Suddenly, Constantine bursts in and attacks them)
(Constantine karate-chopped his way out of the cell)
Constantine: (WITH RUSSIAN ACCENT) Let's dance.
(Sirens blared and searchlights were activated. But he still escaped)
(EXT. GULAG 38B – SNOWY NIGHT. From a safe distance, he turned and looked at the prison camp. A wicked smile crossed his face as he held up a detonator)
Constantine: It's time to light the lights.
(BOOM! Part of the Gulag blew up!)
(INT. MUPPET NEWS FLASH)
Newsman: Muppet news flash. Constantine, the world's most dangerous frog, has escaped from a maximum security gulag in Siberia, Russia. This move has leapfrogged Constantine to the number one most wanted criminal in the world, one place ahead of the mysterious Lemur.
(EXT. DOWNTOWN DRIVE – DAY. KERMIT THE FROG putters into view)
Kermit: Kermit. Kermit the Frog, that's who is here to help you!
(He approaches TRAVIS on the side of the sidewalk. He turns around to the front, catching Travis' face for the first time)
Kermit: Hey, Travis!
Travis: Hey, Kermit. Gosh, I'm so sorry. I thought I could make it this time, but… (he tries to get up, freezing) Smooth like pudding, huh? Ah, who am I kidding? I'll always be a Winter Citizen.
(Kermit swoops up Travis on the wheelbarrow)
Kermit: Well good grief, you're crossing the border again. Must be our guests. Hey, look on the bright side: This is your tenth citizen this month, so that means it's on the house.
Travis: You're the only one that's nice to Winter Citizens like me, Kermit.
Kermit: Don't sweat it. These things happen to everybody, Travis.
Travis: But you never cross the border.
Kermit: Yeah, but I am not perfect. Don't tell nobody, but I think my face is starting to show through.
(Kermit and Travis passed the sign that read WELCOME TO DISNEYLAND RESORT. It has been amended to say: Home of Kermit the Frog and the Muppets!)
Travis: Hey, is Miss Piggy back yet?
Kermit: Not yet.
Travis: She must be crazy-excited when she has four basketball trophy four! Wow!
Kermit: Yeah, we're so good grief proud of him. But I sure wish she'd hurry up and get back because we got a whole summer's worth of best friend fun to make up for. Just me and–(GASPS)
(Ahead of them, a half-mile off, a pig is visible)
Kermit: Piggy!

Miss Piggy: Kermit!
Kermit: Piggy!
Miss Piggy: Kermit!
Kermit: Piggy!

Travis: Woaahhhhh!
(--- right through the Neverland Pool entrance ---)
(EXT. NEVERLAND POOL, HAPPINESS HOTEL – DAY. --- where he land perfectly on the water. BIG DADDY LABOUFF carries the water hose, routine)
Big Daddy: Hey! How far did you make it this time, Travis?
Travis: Halfway to the county line.
Big Daddy: Not bad.
Travis: I know, I can't believe it either!
(EXT. HAPPINESS HOTEL ENTRANCE – DAY.)
Kermit: Piggy, welcome back!
Miss Piggy: Oh, Kermie, it's so good to see you.
Kermit: You too, dear.
(Kermit and Miss Piggy do a kissing style)
Kermit: Oh, man. You ain't gonna believe the things I got planned for us.
(Everyone watches as the fist bump continues)
Marleen: (to Bupkus, an aside) These best friend greetings get longer every year.
Kermit: (to Miss Piggy) You ready to have some serious fun at the parks?
Miss Piggy: Well, actually Kermit I've got something to show you first.
(INT. BEDROOM, PENTHOUSE – DAY. CLOSE ON A SNAPSHOT shows the Muppet Squad with their trophy. It has now changed)
KERMIT: Wow. I can't believe they renamed the trophy after our very own Muppet Squad.
(Miss Piggy and Kermit are alone. Miss Piggy approaches a wall with the trophies, framed articles, other sporting ephemera)
Miss Piggy: I know the Muppet Squad said these things were just old trophies, but to have someone else win it just didn't feel right, you know?
Kermit: Well, the Muppet Squad would've been real proud of you. That's for sure.
(Miss Piggy takes this in)
(INT. HALLWAY, HAPPINESS HOTEL – DAY. Miss Piggy and Kermit exit the penthouse)
Miss Piggy: All right, dear. I've been waiting all summer for this. What've you got planned?
Kermit: You sure you can handle it?
Miss Piggy: Come on, you know who you're talking to? This is Miss Piggy. I can handle anything.
(EXT. FRONTIERLAND, DISNEYLAND PARK – DAY. Miss Piggy and Kermit roll on train tracks of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. They're on the mine cart)
Miss Piggy: Uh, Kermit?
Kermit: Just remember, your brakes ain't gonna work work on these!
(As they head into a dark tunnel–)
Miss Piggy: (O.S.) Piggy!
Kermit: (O.S.) Relax, these train tracks ain't been used in years!
(From inside the tunnel a loud TRAIN HORN. The two friends emerge, going as fast as they can on train tracks, uphill, on the mine cart)
Miss Piggy: Come on, come on! Faster, faster!
(Moments later, the harmless MINER appeared on the cart, oversized horn visible, laughing at his prank)
(EXT. SNOW WHITE WISHING WELL – DAY. Miss Piggy and Kermit sneak up to the well)
Kermit: This is gonna be good!
(They dropped the time bomb into the well with the splash. They laugh at the gag, but soon realize the water was bubbling)
KERMIT: Uh-oh. This ain't gonna be good.
(The big squirt BELCHES. Miss Piggy and Kermit are BLASTED out of view)
(EXT. DOWNTOWN DISNEY, DISNEYLAND RESORT – DUSK. The sun sets. Kermit and Miss Piggy roll into town, exhausted. Kermit is still full of energy)
Kermit: Boy, this was the best day ever! And my favorite souvenir?
(Kermit proudly shows off a dent)
Kermit: This new dent!
Miss Piggy: Oh, Kermie. Today was, uh…
Kermit: Shoot that was nothing. Wait until you see what I got planned for tonight.
Miss Piggy: Kermie, Kermie. Whoa. I was kind of thinking of just a quiet dinner.
Kermit: That's exactly what I was thinking.
Miss Piggy: No, I…I meant with Melinda.
Kermit: Even better! You, me and your friends going out for supper.
(Miss Piggy pulls around in front of Kermit, stops)
Miss Piggy: Kermit, I meant it would be just moi and Melinda.
Kermit: Oh.
Miss Piggy: It's just for tonight. We'll do whatever you want tomorrow.
Kermit: (disappointed) Okay.
Miss Piggy: Thanks for understanding.
Kermit: Yeah, sure. You go on and have fun now.
Miss Piggy: All right, then. See you soon!
(Miss Piggy walks off. Kermit watches her go)
(EXT. MELINDA'S PALACE – NIGHT. It's been converted into a white-tablecloth, with citizens dining inside)
(MISS PIGGY and MELINDA have a prime table)
MELINDA: Ah, this is so nice.
Miss Piggy: I can't tell you how good it is to be here alone. Just the two of us, finally. You and moi.
KERMIT: Ahem. Good evening.
(Kermit is at their table, dressed as a waiter)
Kermit: My name is Kermit, and I'll be your waiter. (to herself) Kermit the Waiter. That's funny right there.
Miss Piggy: Kermit? You work here?
Kermit: Yeah, I work here. What did you think? I snuck in here when nobody was looking and pretended to be your waiter, just so I could hang out with you?
(Miss Piggy and Melinda exchange a look)
Miss Piggy: Oh, yeah. How ridiculous would that be?
Kermit: Now, can I start you two girls off with a couple drinks?
Miss Piggy: Yes. I'll have my usual.
Melinda: You know what? I'm going to have that too.
(Kermit blinks)
Kermit: Uh, right. Your usual.
(INSIDE AT MELINDA'S PALACE – The Nerdlucks watch as the Swedish Chef mixes drinks, ala "Cocktail.")
Blanko: Thanks, dude.
Pound: Thank you, Chef.
(Kermit arrives)
Kermit: Chef, what's Miss Piggy's usual?
Swedish Chef: (SPEAKING GIBBERISH) (subtitles appear: How should I know?)
Kermit: That's perfect! Give me two of them.
Bang: Quiet! My program's on.
Mel Dorado: (O.S.) Tonight on The Mel Dorado Show.
(ON THE RESTAURANT TV – "THE MEL DORADO SHOW", begins with file footage of DOMINIC BADGUY)
Mel Dorado: (On TV) His story gripped the world. Oil billionaire, Dominic Badguy, in an attempt to become the first man to circumnavigate the globe without GPS, ironically ran out of energy and found himself himself trapped in the wild.
(We see images of newspaper headlines, search crews)
Mel Dorado: (On TV) Feared dead, he emerged 36 days later, running on a fuel he distilled himself from the natural elements! Since then, he's sold his talent fortune, converted himself from a wild man into a fresh person and has devoted his life to finding a new company.
(Images of oil derricks torn down; Dominic getting converted to companies; lab scientists testing chemicals)
Mel Dorado: (On TV) Now he claims to have done it with his Badguy Talent.
(Images of villians all combining to form the Badguy Talent Management)
Mel Dorado: (On TV) And to show the world what his new talent can do he's created a world's fair like no other, inviting the greatest citizens around the globe to travel in the first ever International Global Pavilion, Incorporated. Welcome, Sir Dominic Badguy.
(DOMINIC BADGUY arrives, sits across from Mel Dorado's desk)
Dominic: Thank you, Mel. It is very good to be here. Now listen to me. Big oil. It costs a fortune. Pollution is getting worse. I mean, come on. It's a fossil fuel. Fossil. As in dead dinosaurs. And we all know what happened to them. Alternative energy is the future. Trust me, Mel. After seeing the international world tour in action at IGP Inc., nobody will ever go back to gasoline again.
Kermit: (to Blanko) What happened to the dinosaurs, now?
Mel Dorado: (On TV) And on satellite, Smalltown resident and one of the characters from the last film, Walter.
(Across the screen: LIVE FROM SMALLTOWN. We meet the Muppets fan WALTER)
Walter: It is an honor, Mr. Dorado. For you.
Mel Dorado: (On TV) Dominic, why not invite the Muppets.
(Kermit, collecting his drinks, looks up, half-intrigued)
DOMINIC: Of course we invited them. (On TV) But apparently after a very long touring season he is taking some time off to rest.
Walter: (On TV) The Muppets would not have a chance with Walter.
(Kermit doesn't like this)
Walter: (On TV) I can drive the car over 300 kilometers an hour! In miles, that is like... way faster than Mr. Kermit.
Mel Dorado: (On TV) Let's go to the phones. Baltimore, Maryland, you're on the air.
Caller: (On TV) Am I on? Hello?
Mel Dorado: (On TV) You're on. Go ahead.
Caller: (On TV) Hello?
Mel Dorado: (On TV) Go ahead, caller.
(Dial tone. LINE GOES DEAD)
Mel Dorado: (On TV) Let's go to Disneyland Resort. You're on, caller.
KERMIT: That Smalltown feller you got on there can't talk that way about Miss Piggy. She's the bestest woman in the whole wide world.
(Bang and Blanko look around. Kermit is visible in the back of the restaurant on an office phone)
Bang: Uh-oh.
Walter: (On TV) If he is, how you say "the bestest woman," then why must he rest?
KERMIT: 'Cause she know what's important. Every now and then she prefers just to slow down, enjoy life.
Walter: (On TV) Ah, you heard it! Miss Piggy prefers to be slow! Of course, this is not news to Walter. When I want to go to sleep I watch two many shows. After two shows I am out cold.
(Audible people from the restaurant. A crowd has been forming ever since Kermit started talking)
KERMIT: That ain't what I meant.
(MISS PIGGY AND MELINDA – They hear the commotion inside)
MISS PIGGY: What's going on over there?
(MELINDA'S PALACE – Miss Piggy and Melinda push through the crowd, see that they're watching Walter on the television)
WALTER: He is afraid of Walter.
MISS PIGGY: That's that Smalltown Muppet fan. (to Melinda) His name is…
Melinda: Walter. No wonder there's a crowd.
(When Melinda says his name, she enunciates each part)
Miss Piggy: Wait, why do you know his name? And don't say it like that. It's three syllables, not ten.
Melinda: What? He's nice to look at. You know, open-wheeled and all.
Miss Piggy: What's wrong with fenders?
Melinda: Nothing.
Miss Piggy: I thought you like my fenders.
Kermit: (V.O.) (On TV) Let me tell you something else, Mr. Walt Disney.
Miss Piggy: Piggy?
KERMIT: The old gang can put on a show during winter.
Walter: (On TV) Putting on a show is all they can do, right?
KERMIT: No! I mean yes. I mean he could perform anywhere, anytime, any theater.
(Miss Piggy looks at the Swedish Chef who gives a nod over to --)
(-- Kermit, turned away from the crowd, still on the phone)
Walter: (On TV) Mel, can we move on? Walter needs a caller who can provide a little more intellectual stimulation. Like a frog.
(ON Miss Piggy. He doesn't like this at all)
Kermit: That shows what you know. Frogs is dumb.
(Suddenly, Kermit is YANKED from the booth by the lasso and replaced by Miss Piggy)
Miss Piggy: Yeah, hi, this is Miss Piggy.
Walter: (On TV) The Miss Piggy, huh?
Miss Piggy: Look, I don't appreciate my Kermie being insulted like that.
Walter: (On TV) Miss Piggy! That was your best friend? This is the difference between you and Walter. Walter knows how good she is. She does not need to surround herself with frogs to prove it.
Miss Piggy: Those are strong words from a Muppet that is so fragile.
Walter: (On TV) Fragile? He calls Walter fragile? Not so fast, Mrs. Pig!
Miss Piggy: "Not so fast." What is that, your new motto?
(Walter goes ballistic in language. They cut his mic)
Dominic: (On TV) Well, this sounds like something that needs to be settled during winter. What do you say, Miss Piggy? We've still got room for one more performer.
Miss Piggy: Well, I would love to. But the only thing is Kermit's crew is off for the season so…
(A sound off-screen. Miss Piggy turns to see Scooter, Fozzie, and Gonzo flank a tablecloth which is hanging off the dining table. Rowlf backs away, having spray painted "THE MUPPETS: ALL SETTLED FOR WINTER" on it. The Swedish Chef quickly pops three wine bottles)
Swedish Chef: Chicky!
(Miss Piggy turns back to the phone)
Miss Piggy: You know what? They just got back. Deal us in. Yay!
(The place ERUPTS IN CHEERS)
(MOMENTS LATER – General excitement as Miss Piggy exits the phone booth where Melinda waits. Off her look:)
Miss Piggy: I know. I just got back. But we won't be long and…
Melinda: Oh, no, don't worry about me. I've got enough to do here. Kermit's going to have a blast. (off Miss Piggy's silence) You're being Kermit, right? You never bring him to any of the shows.
(Miss Piggy turns to the bar where Kermit privately tries their drinks, hates it, spits it back in the glass)
Melinda: Just let him sit in the dressing room, give him a headset. Come on, it'll be a thrill of a lifetime for him.
(Kermit arrives)
Kermit: Your drinks, ma'am.
Miss Piggy: Piggy.
Kermit: I didn't taste it!
Miss Piggy: How'd you like to come and see the world with me?
Kermit: You mean it?
Miss Piggy: Yeah. You got me into this thing. You're coming along.
Kermit: All right!
(BEGIN MONTAGE:)
(-Miss Piggy is given a new suitcase by Big Daddy. Walter, now sporting a "Team Muppets" emblem, seems psyched as well)
(-Orange County's John Wayne Airport's DEPARTURES SIGN advertises the next flight: Oslo, Norway)

(-- the rest of the Anaheim gang watches them board the plane)
(-IN THE JET, LATER. Kermit and Miss Piggy are the only ones awake, watch an insane Norwegian game show)
(OSLO AT NIGHT. A stylish Oslo cityscape of neon, glamour, scrolling billboards, vending machines and high-tech skyscrapers)
(-INSIDE A SOUVENIR SHOP loaded with fairy tale toys: Miss Piggy and Kermit enter. A tourist sees Miss Piggy and faints)
(-AN ASOLO THEATER. The Muppets watches a folk dance. Kermit, dressed in Sami makeup, arrives. He looks insane)
(-A HOCKEY GAME - The hockey players make a goal. Kermit, now in his moment, cheers)
(The MONTAGE ENDS on this high note as we CUT TO ---)
(INT. LOBBY, INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL PAVILION INC. – NIGHT. The Muppets, as they walk up)
(INT. INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL PAVILION INC. – NIGHT. The Muppets enter via a second floor landing which overlooks a massive indoor party in a converted museum. As they walk down a ramp to the party, they are awed)
Pound: Fellas, look. Cosmos and basketball. Let's go!
(Kermit can't help)
Kermit: (SINGING) The window is open!
So's that door!
I didn't know they did that anymore.
Who knew we owed 8000 salad plates?
(-Kermit slides along the floor of the museum in his socks)
Kermit: For years I have roamed these empty halls
Why have a ballroom with no balls?
Finally, they're opening up the gates!
(-He shakes hands with a suit of armor. Breaks it. Hides the evidence)
Kermit: There'll be actual, real live people
It'll be totally strange.
But wow! Am I so ready for this change!
(-Kermit comes to a window and jumps out onto a window washer's pulley. He raises himself up to see the ships arriving in Oslo)
Kermit: 'Cause the first time in forever,
There'll be music, there'll be light.
For the first time in forever,
I'll be dancing through the night.
(-Kermit walks through the garden and follows a family of geese)
Kermit: Don't know if I'm elated or gassy,
But I'm somewhere in that zone
'Cause for the first time in forever,
I won't be alone.
(SPOKEN) I can't wait to go on a world tour! (GASPS) What if I can go into the Winter Woods?
(-Kermit twists himself in a velvet drape like it's a tuxedo. He acts like she looks handsome, but he looks ridiculous)
Kermit: Tonight, imagine me gown and all
Fetchingly draped against the wall.
The picture of sophisticated grace.
(-He notices the bust of a lady across the room)
Kermit: (google-eyed) I suddenly see him standing there,
A beautiful stranger tall and fair.
(mouth full of chocolate) I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face!
(-He grabs the bust of the lady and swings it around)
Kermit: But then we laugh and talk all evening,
Which is totally bizarre.
Nothing like the life I've led so far.
(The bust goes flying and lands on the top of the cake)
(-Kermit bursts into the portrait room, bounces on the furniture, and interacts with the paintings)
Kermit: For the first time in forever,
There'll be magic, there'll be fun.
For the first time in forever,
I could be noticed by someone.
And I know it is totally crazy
To dream I'd find romance.
But for the first time in forever,
At least I've got a chance!
(-INT. BEDROOM, CASTLE. CLAMINA, now 18, watches out the window)
Clamina: Don't let them in.
Don't let them see.
Be the good girl
You always have to be.
(Clamina moves to a painting of her father)
Clamina: Conceal. Don't feel.
Put on a show.
Make one wrong move
And everyone will know.
(She tries to reassure herself)
Clamina: But it's only for today.
(We cut between Kermit's excitment and Clamina's nerves)
Kermit: It's only for today!
Clamina: It's agony to wait.
Kermit: It's agony to wait!
Clamina: Tell the citizens to open up the gate.
KERMIT: The gate
(-Kermit moves through the crowd, admiring the people around him)
Kermit: For the first time in forever.
Clamina: Don't let them in
Don't let them see
Kermit: I'm getting what I'm dreaming of
Clamina: Be the good girl you always have to be
Kermit: A chance to change my lonely world
CLAMINA: Conceal
Kermit: A chance to find true love
Clamina: Conceal. Don't feel.
Don't let them know.
(-Kermit hurries over the bridge and into the party square)
Kermit: I know it all ends tomorrow,
So it has to be today!
'Cause for the first time in forever
For the first time in forever!
Nothing's in my way!
(Kermit slams right into the door of the bar)
(INT. BAR, INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL PAVILION INC. – NIGHT. The Muppets (Janice, Floyd, Walter, Gonzo, Fozzie, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Rowlf, Behemoth, Scooter, Beaker, Bunsen, Zoot, Animal, Sweetums, Rizzo, the Swedish Chef, Pepé, Dr. Teeth, Camilla) accept the meeting at the bar in IGP Inc. They sat in a booth across from Dominic)
Dominic: Wow. Thanks for seeing me at my regular booth, Muppets. Big fan. Huge.
(MUPPETS MURMURING)
Dominic: Dominic. International tour manager.
(He handed Fozzie his business card)
Fozzie: "Dominic Badguy"?
Dominic: It's pronounced "Bad-gee." (CLEARS THROAT) It's French.
MUPPETS: Ah!
Dominic: It means "good man."
Kermit: Oh, yes.
Miss Piggy: Oh!
Scooter: That's a cool name.
(Dominic got right down to business)
Dominic: Listen up. You've conquered IGP Inc.
Kermit: Not really. We only did one show and…
(Dominic kept going)
Dominic: You're hot. You're having a moment. But what is inevitable about a moment? It ends.
Fozzie: I don't want this moment to end!
Dominic: That's why we got to get out there now and capitalize on this moment with a capital "C," yeah? I want you to conquer the world. Do an international tour. Show a global audience what you can do.
Muppets: (EXCITED CHATTER)
Kermit: Yeah, that sounds great but I'm just not sure… Wait a second, guys, listen. I'd love to do that, too. But we've barely gotten back together. We don't want to mess that up.
(Dominic crossed his arms)
Dominic: Okay, I am inundated with offers of management at the moment. One Direction, U2, Cirque du Soleil. Just some of the acts I can list.
Fozzie: Wow, that's a good list!
Pepé: Does that mean you've tour managed?
FLOYD: Yeah, you heard the man, Pepé. What else do you want?
Dominic: And now, I wanna tour manage you guys. I know you're the boss, Kermit. I wouldn't interfere with that. We would share our managerial roles because you've got a special bond with these little guys.
Kermit: Sure.
(Just then, his phone rang)
Dominic: Uh… Oh! (SCOFFS) President Clinton?
(MUPPETS GASPING)
(EXT. SAMI NORWAY – NIGHT. Constantine was on the way to IGP Inc.)
Constantine: I'm on my way, Number Two.
(INT. BAR, INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL PAVILION INC. – NIGHT. Dominic excused himself to another room to take the call)
Dominic: Great, they're taking the bait.
(He was out of earshot)
Gonzo: Well, he seems like a nice guy.
(Rowlf agreed)
ROWLF: Yeah. Humble and honest.
Kermit: I just… I think we have to get settled first, you know? Hone the show, get some new material, and then maybe go on a world tour.
(The other Muppets didn't agree)
Fozzie: But, Kermit!
Dr. Teeth: I want to go on a world tour now!
Rizzo: World tours are easy.
Janice: You know, like, Katy Perry just did one.
DOMINIC: See you in Berlin.
CONSTANTINE: Yes. Auf Wiedersehen…
(EXT. SAMI NORWAY – NIGHT.)
Constantine: …Number Two.
(Constantine hang the phone up, held up the detonator and blew up the booth)
(INT. BAR, INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL PAVILION INC. – NIGHT.)
Kermit: Look, we can't just blindly jump at the the first offer that comes along!
(Miss Piggy piped up)
Miss Piggy: Kermit, weren't you listening? We're having moment. This may be our only chance to become world famous.
BUNSEN: That's right, Mr. Kermit, sir. Now it's our chance.
Beaker: (SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
(Dominic returned)
Dominic: So… What's it gonna be, Muppets? Ready to be world famous? No pressure, but I am a very busy man.
(The phone rang again)
Dominic: Oh! That's Rihanna. I really should take this.
(All the Muppets begged Kermit)
(MUPPETS TALKING INDISTINCTLY)
Animal: World tour! World tour!
Swedish Chef: (SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
(Kermit was still reluctant, until Walter came up with an idea)
Walter: Well, I mean… I guess we could always hone our acts on the road, and that would be okay. Wouldn't it, Kermit?
ANIMAL: World tour! World tour! Come on, froggy!
Muppets: (INDISTINCT TALKING CONTINUES)
Animal: World tour!
(Finally, Kermit agreed)
Kermit: Okay, let's do it. Dominic, you're hired. Welcome aboard!
Muppets: (CHEERING)
Dominic: Thanks, Kermit. I mean, boss. You won't regret this.
(Miss Piggy rushed over and hugged Kermit)
Miss Piggy: Oh, Kermie. This is so exciting. There's nothing more romantic than a European wedding. Paris, or Rome, or London, or…
Kermit: Wedding? Piggy, what are you talking about?
(Scooter got in between them)
SCOOTER: There's no time to explain, chief. We've got a Muppet world tour to plan!
(INT. TRAIN STATION, INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL PAVILION INC. – DAY. Bright and early the next day, all the Muppets (Animal, Rowlf, Walter, Thog, Lew Zealand, Janice, Fozzie, the Swedish Chef, Gonzo, Dr. Teeth, Scooter, Zoot, Beaker, Floyd, Bunsen, Wayne, Sweetums, Lips) gathered at the train station)
KERMIT: Is everybody here? Yeah?
(Kermit stood in front of a beautiful, brand-new train)
Kermit: Okay, guys, guys. Gather round and listen up. If we're going to go on a world tour, I thought we should travel in classic style. So… I've booked us a tour train!
(Everyone was really excited. Kermit turned around and shook his head)
Kermit: No, guys, not that train. This train.
(He pointed behind the brand-new train, where a dingy steam train stood. The dining car had no roof, and when the whistle blew, the smokestack fell off!)
Kermit: Isn't she a beauty?
(But the others didn't agree)
(BEAUREGARD the janitor leaned out of the engine car)
Beauregard: All aboard, guys!
Scooter: Beauregard's licensed to drive a train?
Beauregard: It's like a big car, but with no steering wheel, so it's easier.
Kermit: Get them up and move them out.
(Dominic boards the train)
Kermit: All aboard, Dominic.
(That didn't really comfort him. Or Scooter. Or Statler and Waldorf)
Statler: I didn't know there was still third class.
Waldorf: Third class? How about no class?
(BOTH CHUCKLING)
(Just then, Miss Piggy arrived, carrying her little dog, FOO FOO. Behind her, a porter pushed a huge cart of luggage)
Miss Piggy: Oh! Watch the heels!
Kermit: Piggy, why do you need so much luggage?
Miss Piggy: For our honeymoon, of course!
Kermit: For our what?
(As she passed, Kermit raised a finger to object, but Foo Foo growled fiercely at him. Kermit decided to keep his mouth shut for the moment)
(Fozzie peaked out the train window)
FOZZIE: Hey, guys! The dining car has an observation deck.
(He checked the roof)
Fozzie: Oh, wait, the dining car doesn't have a roof.
(Beauregard leaned out of the engine car)
BEAUREGARD: Let's go, guys!
(The train started moving backwards)
Beauregard: Oh! Oh. That must be reverse. Oh, well. This way looks good, too.
(Before long, the train departed and the Muppets were en route)
KERMIT: Okay, Dominic, I thought we could start our world tour in London.
DOMINIC: Or how about the world capital of comedy? Berlin, Germany.
(MUPPETS CHEERING)
ANIMAL: Germany!
(First up on their world tour: Berlin)
(INT. HAUPTBAHNHOF STATION, BERLIN – DAY. After several travel days, they disembarked from the train. The wall in the train falls out, showing Link Hogthrob, Mildred Huxtetter, Sweetums, and Walter)
Walter: Uh… Was that supposed to happen?
(EXT. BERLIN – DAY. SHOTS of Berlin)
KERMIT: Oh, you guys are gonna love this place.
(EXT. BERLIN – DAY. The group (Miss Piggy, Dr. Teeth, Gonzo, Walter, Fozzie, Waldorf, Statler, Janice, Kermit, Rowlf, Floyd, Scooter, the Swedish Chef) followed Kermit to a tiny club. It was called the Hole in the Wall Cabaret)
Kermit: Okay, here we are, guys. The Hole in the Wall Club!
(The marquee read DIE MUPPETS, AS SEEN ON TV!)
Rowlf: "Die Muppets"?
Statler: Looks like they put the reviews up early.
Waldorf: Yeah, or is that the suggestion box?
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Scooter: It's actually "The Muppets" in German!
(INT. THEATER IN RUINS – DAY. Everyone looked doubtful as they headed inside. There, they found a theater in semi-ruins)
MISS PIGGY: "Hole in the Wall Club"? More like "Hole in the Ground Club."
(Kermit tried to rally the others (Fozzie, Dr. Teeth, Walter, Janice, Waldorf, Miss Piggy, Floyd, Statler, Gonzo, Rowlf, the Swedish Chef, Scooter))
Kermit: Okay, everybody. So, we'll start at the bottom and work our way up. I've booked us into cabaret bars and coffee houses all across the industrial cities of Northern Germany. Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Mudburg, Vomitdorf.
Fozzie: Poopenburgen?
Kermit: Fozzie, we have a solid week booked in Poopenburgen.
Miss Piggy: Kermit, we are professional performers. "Actors, musicians, and… Others.
Kermit: Gee, guys, nobody ever said this would be easy. We have to start small.
Fozzie: Then go huge?
Kermit: Well, then go slightly less small. And then a touch less small until we're small-to-medium-small.
(The others looked dejected and disappointed. Right then, Dominic stepped forward)
DOMINIC: This looks great. And I think we should commend Kermit on his efforts.
(He clapped and got the others to clap, too)
KERMIT: Thank you, Dominic. Thanks.
Dominic: Or, if I might be so bold…
Kermit: Uh-huh?
Dominic: …maybe we could consider another venue.
Kermit: Another venue?
Dominic: Follow me, Muppets.
(EXT. BERLIN – DAY. Dominic led the others (Gonzo, Fozzie, Rowlf, Miss Piggy, Dr. Teeth, Floyd, Kermit, Animal, Janice, Walter, the Swedish Chef, Scooter) outside)
Dominic: To be precise, this other venue.
(He gestured to the grand building before them: the Berlin National Theater)
MUPPETS: Whoa! Look at that theater!
Kermit: What? No, no. We don't have the money to rent the Berlin National Theater!
(Dominic waved him off)
Dominic: We'll make our money back when we sell it out.
Miss Piggy: Kermie, I've always dreamed of playing the Berlin National Theater. "Ich bin ein Berliner."
Floyd: More like, "Ein frankfurter"!
(MUPPETS CHUCKLING)
Miss Piggy: Watch it, buster.
Kermit: Guys, I'm not sure we can do this, you know?
DOMINIC: Okay, let's put this to the vote. All those in favor of believing in ourselves, raise your hands.
(Most of the Muppets raised their hands)
Muppets: (INDISTINCT TALKING)
Gonzo: Me, me, me.
Kermit: That's not what I'm saying.
Dominic: And all those in favor of just giving up.
Kermit: (SIGHING) I can't believe I'm voting for giving up.
(But he knew it was hopeless)
(Dominic beamed)
Dominic: Good. Well, I'm glad we made this decision.
(The Muppets were thrilled)
Miss Piggy: Oh, wonderful!
Gonzo: So cool!
WALTER: Isn't that exciting. I can't believe it!
(As the Muppets all headed inside, Dominic stole a quick glance at the building next door: the German National Treasure Museum. He absently rubbed a lemur charm on his bracelet as a wicked smirk crossed his face. So far, all was going according to plan…)
(INT. BACKSTAGE, BERLIN NATIONAL THEATER – DAY. Kermit presented the set list to the other Muppets (Rowlf, Gonzo, Janice, Animal, Pepé, Foo Foo, Miss Piggy, Zoot, Fozzie, Floyd, Sweetums, Walter, Lew Zealand, Rizzo, Dr. Teeth, Bunsen, Beaker))
Kermit: All right, gather round, troops. Everybody?
Muppets: (TALKING INDISTINCTLY)
Kermit: Okay, guys. Since we're playing such a big theater, let's stick with what we know. We'll open with a cabaret number. Then we'll warm up with some comedy from Fozzie, then the guest star, followed by Piggy's number, and then the finale.
(Gonzo raised his hand)
Gonzo: Kermit, when do I do the indoor running of the bulls?
(He pointed to some large crates, from which a lot of angry grunts could be heard)
Kermit: Sorry. Gonzo. Not this time.
(As Gonzo turned away, clearly disappointed, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew jumped into the fray)
Bunsen: Mr. Kermit, sir? I would very much like to demonstrate my magnetic bomb-attractor vest.
Beaker: (SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
(Kermit swiveled around)
Kermit: Bunsen, why would you even invent one of those?
Bunsen: Why did I invent the automatic drowning helmet? The extra sharp chair? Or the unexpectedly exploding cupcake?
(Beaker, in the bomb-attractor vest, holds the cupcake, which explodes. And so does Beaker)
Bunsen: Because it's there, Kermit. Because it's there.
(Gonzo raised his hand again)
Gonzo: Hey, what about Muppet Ladder?
Kermit: Muppet Ladder? That's never, ever worked, Gonzo. Last time we all tried that was 20 years ago and you ended up in a cast for six months.
Gonzo: Yeah, good times.
(Miss Piggy ran up)
Miss Piggy: Kermit, what if I do Celine Dion's four or five musical numbers? You know Celine Dion, she works in Las Vegas.
Kermit: No, Piggy, there's no time for that.
Floyd: Hey, Kermit! What about the band's marathon jam session?
Animal: Drum solo! Drum solo!
Kermit: No drum solo!
(But the Muppets began shouting over one another, asking for their acts to be included)
Kermit: Guys, guys, guys! We can't just do whatever we want. This is our opening night. Let's play to our strengths, because… (SIGHS) Well… Look, I didn't want to worry you guys but if we don't sell this theater out, it would mean the end of the tour.
(The Muppets gasped)
GONZO: What?
Kermit: And maybe the end of us.
(Dominic walked in with box office receipts in his hand)
Dominic: Great news, Muppets. We're sold out.
(Everyone cheered. Everyone except Kermit, who looked at Dominic in disbelief)
Kermit: Fine. I mean, great, great. Well done, Dominic.
(Gonzo walks forward one last time)
Gonzo: Hey, I have an amazing idea for an act. It's called "The Indoor Running of the Bulls."
Kermit: Gonzo, I've told you, that act is far too dangerous.
Gonzo: Actually, Kermit, I was asking Dominic what he thinks.
Kermit: Good grief.
MISS PIGGY: Dominic, Dominic! Five songs.
(While the Muppets were asking Dominic for their acts to be included, Kermit was starting to feel like he was the odd one out)
(INT. DRESSING ROOM, BACKSTAGE – DAY. He was alone)
Kermit: "Sold out." Like we've sold out a show in 30 years.
(Miss Piggy barged into Kermit's dressing room, holding Foo Foo in one arm and her wedding folder in the other)
Miss Piggy: Ahem. Is this a good time to discuss our upcoming European wedding?
(Kermit shook his head)
Kermit: No, actually, I'm kind of busy right now.
Miss Piggy: Perfect! I have 23 swatches for the seat covers for the reception, eight font choices for the menu, which, by the way, we are not serving files.
Kermit: Piggy, what are you talking about?
Miss Piggy: I'm just trying to involve you in some of the decision-making, dear.
Kermit: What about being involved in the decision to get married in the first place, huh?
(Miss Piggy put her hands on her hips)
Miss Piggy: Oh, Kermit, you never let me do what I want!
Kermit: Oh, yeah? Well, what about what I want, huh? What about that? Well, that's because you always want too much, Piggy. I haven't even proposed yet.
Miss Piggy: You can do that on our honeymoon.
Kermit: What? (STAMMERING) That's insane! Do you hear what you're saying, Piggy? That's crazy!
Miss Piggy: Insane! How dare you call your fiancée insane?
Kermit: You are not my fiancée! We are not engaged! We never got engaged. How can we get married if I've never even asked you to marry me? And, as a matter of fact, the way this particular conversation is going right now… Well… I'm fine with that!
(Miss Piggy was furious. She stormed toward the door, Foo Foo barking angrily at Kermit the whole time. Miss Piggy whirled around dramatically, her chin trembling)
Miss Piggy: (heartbroken) You never loved me, Kermit!
Kermit: I do love you, Piggy. But sometimes you drive me crazy!
(Miss Piggy marched off in a huff, slamming the door)
Foo Foo: (GROWLING)
(She walked right past Dominic, who was lurking in the shadows)
(Back inside his dressing room, Kermit called after Miss Piggy)
KERMIT: Piggy, wait! I'm sorry!
(But she didn't hear him)
Foo Foo: (BARKING)
Dominic: Get out!
(INT. STAGE, BERLIN NATIONAL THEATER – DAY. Kermit moped in his dressing room for a while, and then moped on the empty stage. He wasn't only bothered by the Piggy situation. He also felt somewhat abandoned by the other Muppets)
(Dominic sat down next to him)
Dominic: Don't take it personally, Kermit. They still love you. They just prefer me now.
Kermit: Uh, thank you, Dominic. That's very comforting.
(Dominic tried to lighten the mood)
Dominic: Do you know what I think helps sometimes in situations like this?
Kermit: What?
Dominic: I find a walk alone in the fog in former East Berlin. Maybe along a deserted canal, tends to calm the mind.
(He handed Kermit a map with a circle around the words DESERTED CANAL)
(Kermit turned to him)
Kermit: Well, I guess a quiet stroll is not a bad idea. Let the others know I've gone, will you?
Dominic: Sure. I promise. I promise I'll do that.
Kermit: Thanks. (CLEARS THROAT) Ah.
(EXT. CANAL, BERLIN – FOGGY DAY. Kermit left the theater and was soon walking along a foggy canal)
Kermit: (to the chickens) (GREETS IN GERMAN)
(He didn't notice the WANTED posters of Constantine plastered around)
WOMAN: Corrine, come here!
(As the thickness of the fog increased, Kermit discovered he was all alone…until Constantine appeared right in front of him!)
Constantine: Boo.
(KERMIT SCREAMS)
(Constantine quickly applied a fake mole onto Kermit's upper lip, then he disappeared into the fog)
Kermit: What just happened?
(Just then, a GERMAN WOMAN washing clothes noticed Kermit. She looked at him, then at the Constantine posters)
Berliner at Window: (SPEAKING GERMAN) (subtitles appear: It's him, he's here. The evil frog. The Evil Frog!!)
Kermit: (IN ENGLISH) What?
(That caused a group of Germans to gather, all pointing to Kermit, thinking he was Constantine)
Germans: (subtitles appear: That's him. That's Constantine!)
(A German police van pulled up, sirens blaring)
Kermit: Wait a second.
(Officers ran to Kermit and grabbed him)
Kermit: Hold on, hold on! There must be some mistake! Don't you know me? I'm Kermit the Frog!
German Cop: Silence, Constantine. The game is up.
Kermit: Who?
(He turned and saw and noticed the WANTED posters)
Kermit: (GASPS AND SCREAMS) No, no! Wait a minute! I'm Kermit the Frog! Guys, this is a mistake! I'm telling you! (SCREAMS)
(Before he could protest, Kermit was thrown into the back of the van)
Kermit: Hey, hey! Hello! Somebody!
(The van's destination sign quickly changed from DISNEYLAND PARIS to ALPINE LEDERHOSEN FACTORY)
Kermit: Open up! I'm an Amphibian-American!
(As the van drove away, Constantine watched from the shadows. He expertly applied some green makeup to his face to cover up his own hole)
(He smiled evilly)
Constantine: It's not easy being mean. (SNICKERING)
(EXT. ALPINE LEDERHOSEN FACTORY, BERLIN – SUNNY WINTER DAY. They were expecting a very special arrival in the Alpine Lederhosen Factory!)
TULIP: Look sharp, everyone! The snowy owls will soon be arriving to take the snowflake baskets to the Winter Woods.
(She looked around and noticed that LUCY were not focused on her job)
Tulip: Lucy, stop noodling and start building.
(Then she walk off to check on the basket production. Nearby, 80's Robot was struggling with the cart. It was filled with bundles of reeds, and it was a bit too heavy for him to pull. Suddenly, a lasso appeared out of nowhere and picked up a bundle of lunch from the cart, making the load lighter. 80's Robot looked left and saw Kermit the Frog was holding on to a pole attached to a rope. Leave it to Kermit to create an invention like a pole with a swinging lasso to help a friend in need!)
Kermit: Is that the last load?
80's Robot: This would do it, Mr. Kermit.
Kermit: Okay. Thanks, 80's Robot!
(Kermit waved and walks off to help the Nerdlucks)
Pound: Basket weaving is my favorite thing, Nawt.
Nawt: Really? I'm partial to macramé.
(Kermit reached the basket depot. The aliens were busy weaving long reeds into sturdy baskets. He placed the new bundle on a pile in front of them)
Kermit: Guten Tag, Nerdlucks.
Nerdlucks: Morning!
Kermit: That should be enough to finish the snowflake baskets.
Bang: Yes, sir, that'll do.
Pound: Thanks.
(He accidentally wove the reeds right over Bang's hands!)
Bang: (GASPS) (WHISPERS) Nawt.
Nawt: Oh! Sorry. (CHUCKLES)
Blanko: Are we there yet?
(Kermit looked around at the towering piles of baskets that were ready to be collected by the snowy owls)
Kermit: (SIGHS) I can't believe we make the baskets but don't get to take them to the Winter Citizens. I mean, wouldn't you want to go into the Winter Woods?
(The Nerdlucks stopped their work and stared at Kermit in disbelief)
Bang: Oh, we wouldn't last a day in the cold.
Pound: Besides, I'm afraid of glaciers.
Kermit: Glaciers?
Pound: They're known for their stealth.
Blanko: He's never actually seen one.
Pound: You never do!
(Suddenly, a loud horn sounded)
TULIP: The snowy owls!
(All the villagers looked up to see a flock of SNOWY OWLS rapidly approaching)
Tulip: Places, everyone! Nerdlucks, get that basket up.
Pound: Right! Got it, Tulip!
Tulip: Start the pulley!
(Instantly, the villagers began operating a large pulley that hauled the freshly woven baskets up to a delivery tower)
(One by one, each of the snowy owls dove down and snatched a basket in its talons. Then, together, the flock soared back into the sky. Kermit watched, his eyes wide with excitement. The large white birds were so graceful and strong!)
(A young owl approached the basket pickup. He swooped down to grab one of the baskets. But it was a little too heavy for him. He wobbled as he lifted back into the air)
Tulip: Ooh! Newcomer!
(After struggling for a moment, the young owl gained speed and flew to join his brothers. Before the flock left, one of the owls dropped a note made of ice down to Tulip. It floated softly on a frozen parachute. The second it touched her hands, the ice began to melt. So she had to read it quickly)
Tulip: The final shipment order! Oh, goodness! They need 20 more baskets for tomorrow's pickup.
(But Kermit was only half listening. He couldn't help watching as the owls head for the horizon. They were flying back to the cold mountain of the mysterious Winter Woods)
Kermit: There's a whole other world over there.
Tulip: Well done, everyone! The first shipment is headed for Winter. But there's much more to do for tomorrow's pickup, so this is no time to rest on your laurels. Lucy, get off your laurel and get to work.
(Kermit couldn't explain it, he felt drawn to the Winter Woods. It was as if there were a secret buried there, deep in the snow, just waiting to be discovered)
SCOOTER: Look out!
(Kermit turned at the same time. Scooter was chasing a BUNNY as it scampered through the workshop)
Scooter: Runaway bunny!
(The bunny bounded through the workshop, scatting reeds and supplies everywhere. Baskets went flying through the air!)
Scooter: No!
(In the flash, Kermit zipped over and used his special lasso to grab hold of the renegade bunny)
Kermit: Got you!
(The bunny wriggled its nose. It was not happy to have been caught)
Scooter: Thanks, chief.
Kermit: No problem, Scooter.
(Scooter reached over and tried to calm the bunny down)
Scooter: Come on, little guy. It's still a long way to the Winter Woods.
Kermit: Oh, you're taking the mammals today?
Scooter: Trying to. It's time for them to cross the border, but this little guy is a handful.
(Kermit was excited. This was his chance to see the Winter Woods up close)
Kermit: Hey, uh, how about if I help?
(EXT. BERLIN – DAY. Kermit and Scooter were racing through the Berlin street with the mammals. Scooter was guiding several weasels, a few bunnies, and a marmot. Kermit was trying to steer the youngest bunny by using his invented lasso as a leash. But the rabbit was so fast that he kept moving along behind it instead)
Kermit: Slow down! Slow down!
Scooter: Need some help?
Kermit: Nope. Doing fine.
SCOOTER: That thing really is handy.
Kermit: Yeah. Heel, Hoppy, heel! Slow down!
(EXT. BOUNDARY, BERLIN – DAY. Finally, they reached the border between Berlin and the Winter Woods. Kermit was just settling his bunny down when he looked up and saw the border for the first time. He gasped. It was amazing! A wide chasm separated the two seasons, and a thin curtain of soft, shimmering snow fell down from the center, marking the divide. Down at the bottom of the trench, a rushing stream babbled on the summer side. But once it reached the winter side, the water froze solid. A long bridge connected the two season. Half of it was a log, and the other half was ice)
Kermit: It's the dividing line.
(The bunny beside him trembled nervously)
Scooter: Oh, don't scared, little fellow. We'll let the weasels go first.
(Scooter guided the weasels to the bridge)
Kermit: Come on. Come on. (STRAINING) Come on! So, how far do we take the mammals in?
Scooter: Uh, chief, we don't cross the border.
Kermit: Huh?
Scooter: We just help the mammals cross.
Kermit: But I thought citizens got to cross with the mammals.
Scooter: Kermit, it's freezing over there. Besides, no Warm Citizens are allowed in the Winter Woods. Just like Winter Citizens aren't allowed over here.
Kermit: Who made up that rule?
Scooter: I think it was the lord of winter.
Kermit: Winter has a lord?
(Scooter turned to the weasels)
Scooter: All right, guys. You ready?
(The weasels chattered their agreement. Then they skipped up the log. One at the time, they leapt over into winter. As they crossed the border, each of the weasels' coats magically turned from brown to white!)
Kermit: Wow.
Scooter: Pretty great, huh?
Kermit: It's incredible.
SCOOTER: They get their winter coats to protect them from the cold. (CHUCKLES) Your turn. Go on.
(Next, three baby bunnies crawled up to the bridge. They bounded over the border and their fur also quickly transformed from brown into brilliant white)
Scooter: Go on, now. Follow your brothers.
(The bunny's ears perked up. He didn't seem as afraid now that the other mammals had all crossed. He hopped to the edge of the bridge and stretched out his ears until they just reached across the border. The tips turned white! Then he spun around and wiggled his tail on the winter side. It turned white, too! Then the bunny finally hopped all the way into winter)
Kermit: Bye-bye!
(Kermit walked closer to the curtain of falling snow. What was it like over there? he wondered. Had any citizen ever tried to cross?)
Scooter: All right, big guy. (GASPS)
(It was the marmot's turn to go but he didn't answer. He was already starting to hibernate, right here in the street)
Scooter: Oh, no.
(He gets closer to the sleeping marmot)
Scooter: No hibernating yet. You do that in winter!
(The marmot yawns)
Scooter: Come on. Come on! Wake up. Wake up.
(Meanwhile, Kermit was scanning the crisp, white snow that stretched far out on the other side of the border. It shimmered and sparkled in the winter sunlight. Kermit couldn't help it. He just had to see what winter was like!)
(Remembering what the bunny had done, he reached his hand over the border. Then he quickly drew it back. Nothing!)
Kermit: Oh…
(He glanced over his shoulder to see if Scooter was watching. But the sleepy marmot distracted him)
Scooter: Come on. Wake up. Rise and shine.
(Now was Kermit's chance)
(Gaining confidence, Kermit leaned over the border and stuck his mouth across)
Kermit: Oooh.
(He felt the tingle of cold air. His mouth was chilly. It didn't hurt at all)
(With a deep breath, Kermit frog-hopped over the border!)
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. Instantly, the frosty air surrounded him. Kermit shivered. But the snow are magnificent! Tiny flakes swirled everywhere, glistening like pixie dust. Kermit opened his mouth and let one land right on his tongue. It was deliciously cold)
Kermit: Ooh!
(Suddenly, Kermit felt a very strange sensation in his skin. He turned around and gasped. His wings were growing and it began sparkling! It shimmered with a brilliant burst of colorful light he had never seen before. He could even see all their delicate patterns illuminated. What was causing them to shine so brightly?)
(As if from far away, Kermit heard a baby's laugh. It was very soft. But the sound echoed in his ears)
Kermit: Oh…
SCOOTER: Kermit!
(Scooter's call was distant and faint)
(Kermit's wings stopped sparkling)
Scooter: (O.S.) Kermit! Kermit the Frog!
Kermit: What?
(Before Kermit knew what was happening, a lasso sailed over his head and tightened around his waist)
Kermit: Aaagh!
(EXT. BOUNDARY, BERLIN – DAY. He is yanked back past the border into Berlin)
Scooter: Oh, chief! I told you, we're not allowed to cross.
(He took the lasso off Kermit and brushed his hand against his friend's grown wing)
Scooter: (GASPS) Your wings.
Kermit: I know! They were sparkling.
Scooter: They're freezing! We'd better get you to the healing-talent citizen.
(Scooter dragged Kermit away from the border)
Kermit: But…
Scooter: Come on!
(Scooter knew that Kermit's wings were in great danger. They had to get help–and fast!)
(INT. URGENT CARE, BERLIN – DAY.  There were many patients inside waiting to be seen by healing-talent citizens. But some were not so patient. Mellow music is playing. The rainbow Berliner pushes the buzzer. BUZZ!)
Receptionist: May I help you?
Rainbow Berliner: How much longer?
Receptionist: I told you, a rainbow collision is not an emergency.
Rainbow Berliner: But the purple is starting to itch.
Receptionist: Take a seat.
(The rainbow Berliner left and another BERLINER is next. He is stuck in the snapdragon. He pushes a buzzer! BUZZ!)
Receptionist: Oh. Snapdragon, right?
Snapdragon Berliner: Mmm-hmm.
Receptionist: Not an emergency. Plant it over there.
(Just then, the Muppet gang (Floyd, Beaker, Dr. Teeth, Janice, Zoot, Rowlf) zoom in. They had heard the news about Kermit and were very concerned about their friend)
ROWLF: Hurry, guys. What if we're too late?
(The receptionist saw them ran right by his check-in desk)
Receptionist: (CLEARING THROAT)
(There was nothing that annoyed the receptionist more than Muppets not following proper procedure)
(The Muppets stopped. They hadn't even noticed the receptionist)
Rowlf: Oh. Sorry. Do you know…
Receptionist: Window.
(The Muppets forget to check in and they pushed the buzzer. BUZZZZZZ!)
Receptionist: Uh, uh, uh, uh!
(The Muppets stopped pushing the buzzer)
Receptionist: Patient's name?
All: Kermit the Frog.
Receptionist: Oh, yes. The border crosser. He's…
Rowlf: Frozen solid?
Receptionist: Room two.
FLOYD: Oh, man.
DR. TEETH: Thank you.
Receptionist: Mmm-hmm.
(INT. HALLWAYS, URGENT CARE – DAY. The Muppets zipped up and down the hallways of the hospital, looking for the right room)
ROWLF: This way!
FLOYD: Come on, guys. Hurry.
ROWLF: He's right over here. Room two.
Dr. Teeth: There he is.
ROWLF: Kermit!
(INT. EXAMINING ROOM, URGENT CARE – DAY. Kermit was sitting on a table with a lamp shining down on his grown wings. The HEALING BERLINER was studying his wings closely while Scooter stood off to the side)
Floyd: We got here as quick as we could.
Dr. Teeth: We did have to stop at reception.
Rowlf: Did you really cross?
(Kermit was touched that his friends had dropped everything to come see him. He couldn't wait to tell them how his wings had sparkled!)
(But he didn't get the chance to answer, because the healing Berliner cut off their chatter)
Healing Berliner: (SHUSHES)
(The Muppets (Rowlf, Floyd, Zoot, Beaker, Dr. Teeth, Janice) nodded and grew quiet. Still, Rowlf couldn't stand not knowing what had happened. Rowlf leaned in close to Kermit)
Rowlf: Well, did you?
Healing Berliner: Shh!
(He made the light brighter and moved his magnifying glass over Kermit's wings)
(Just then, Gonzo sped into the room. When he saw Kermit's wings magnified against the glass)
Healing Berliner: Hmm…
Gonzo: Whoa.
All: Shh!
Healing Berliner: Mmm-hmm.
(Finally, the healing Berliner took a step back)
Healing Berliner: Okay. You're all warmed up. Let's test your wings.
Kermit: Oh. Sure.
(He sat up a little straighter)
Healing Berliner: Open. Close.
(Kermit did as he was told)
Healing Berliner: And try a little flap.
(Kermit quickly flapped his wings)
Healing Berliner: Can you give me a flitter?
(Kermit took a deep breath and flittered his wings. They felt perfectly normal)
Healing Berliner: Okay. Well, I don't see anything unusual. Your wings appear to be fine.
(The Muppets (Camilla, Gonzo, Rowlf, Floyd, Zoot, Beaker, Dr. Teeth, Janice) sigh in relief)
(ALL SIGH IN RELIEF)
Kermit: But what about the sparkling?
Healing Berliner: It must have been the light reflecting off the snow.
(Kermit tried to protest)
Healing Berliner: You should have never crossed the border. Winter is too cold for our Warm Citizen wings. Now, to be safe, I want you to take two pearls and come back if there is any problem.
Janice: Thank you.
Healing Berliner: Mmm-hmm.
(EXT. BERLIN, JUST OUTSIDE THE URGENT CARE – DAY. The Muppets (Janice, Zoot, Floyd, Rowlf, Camilla, Gonzo, Beaker, Scooter, Dr. Teeth) led Kermit out of the hospital. They were all relieved that Kermit was okay)
Dr. Teeth: We were worried, Kermit.
Scooter: Oh! You are so lucky nothing happened to your wings.
Floyd: Can you imagine?
(Kermit looked around at his friends)
Kermit: But something did happen. It sparkled!
Rowlf: But you heard him. It was just the light reflecting off the snow.
Kermit: No, it wasn't. It actually lit up. It was brighter than a thousand fireflies. You saw it. Didn't you, Scooter?
Scooter: No.
Kermit: You don't believe me?
Gonzo: Who…Um…
Rowlf: Uh. No?
Kermit: Look, you guys, it happened. It felt like…like…
Dr. Teeth: Like what?
Kermit: Like the Winter Woods was calling me. You know?
(His friends all looked at one another anxiously. Now Kermit was really acting crazy!)
Floyd: (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Not really. (WHISPERING) Get the doctor.
(Kermit sighed. It didn't matter what the healing Berliner had said. He knew his wings had sparkled. He wished his friends believed him. And more than anything, he wanted to know what the sparkling had meant)
(INT. STATE LIBRARY, BERLIN – DAY. Later that day, Kermit went off to the library. He had a feeling that he might be able to find the answer to his question there)
(The library was a cozy little place in Berlin. As he entered, Kermit passed by for fuzzy bookworms carrying stacks of books to reshelve)
(Soon he found himself flying down a long row of shelves crammed with dusty books. Under his breath, he read the titles aloud:)
KERMIT: Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin, Golden Goose… There's got to be a wing book here somewhere. The Six Swans. No, not that.
(His finger trailed along the row of spines as he scanned each title, looking for the right one)
(Suddenly, a tattered-looking book caught his eye. He opened it and found that the pages had been chewed through)
Kermit: Hey. Someone's been eating the books!
(Nearby, a chubby BOOKWORM looked up guiltily. A half-eaten page was sticking out of his mouth. He quickly gulped down the paper and inched away)
Kermit: Bookworms.
(Kermit kept searching)
Kermit: Light reading. Dustology, windology…
(Finally, he struck gold)
Kermit: A-ha! Wingology. That's got to have it.
(Kermit reached for the book. It was shaped like wings. But before he could grab it, the book magically took flight! Kermit chased after it, causing a commotion throughout the library. The book slammed into stacks and shelves, knocking other books all over the floor. Finally, Kermit pinned it down on one of the sturdy tables)
Kermit: Gotcha!
(A READING BERLINER wearing thick glasses at the next table cleared his throat. He seemed annoyed)
Kermit: Sorry.
Reading Berliner: Mmm-hmm.
Kermit: Okay, let's see. Wing care. Wing washing. Wing tips. Don't get it wet. Everybody knows that. Sizes, shapes, flapping, fluttering. (GASPS) Sparkling! I knew it!
(The book took advantage of his distraction and tried to fly off once more. Kermit slammed it back down)
Kermit: Oh!
(Again, the reading Berliner shot Kermit a warning look)
Kermit: Sorry. Found it! Huh? Oh, no.
(The page that had the answer to Kermit's question was chewed up. The bookworm must have gotten to it first)
Kermit: Thanks a lot.
(The bookworm gave him another guilty look. He had just started munching on a tasty paper snack. He slid away, taking the snack with him. Kermit tried to make sense of the words that were left on the page)
Kermit: Hmm. Okay. "Sparkling wings. When a most incredible…" "…That the sparkle…there was two." Huh? "That the sparkle…there was two." Two wings? Two feet? (SIGHS) Two what?
(Frustrated, he moved over to where the reading Berliner was reading)
Kermit: Psst.
Reading Berliner: Oh! Yes?
Kermit: Hey. Do you know anything about the sparkling wings?
Reading Berliner: No. The bookworm ate the page.
Kermit: Yeah, I know.
Reading Berliner: But the Keeper does.
Kermit: The Keeper? Who's the Keeper?
(The the reading Berliner pushed his glasses up higher on his nose and pointed to the author's name on the front cover of the book. In small letters, it read, BY THE KEEPER)
Reading Berliner: (CHUCKLES) He writes the books. He is the keeper of all citizen knowledge.
Kermit: That's perfect. Is he here? I have to talk to him.
Reading Berliner: (CHUCKLING) I would give anything to talk to him. But you can't.
Kermit: Why not?
Reading Berliner: Because he's a Winter Citizen. In order to talk to him, you would have to go to the Winter Woods  And that's impossible. Your wings will freeze and…(Snaps a pencil) Chapter 16.
Kermit: Hmm. The Winter Woods.
(He quickly thanked the the reading Berliner and started to walk home)
(I have to see the Keeper! he thought eagerly. Somehow, there has to be a way to cross the border safely. He's the only one who can tell me why my wings sparkled!)
(INT. TOUR TRAIN – DAY. Kermit was hard at work in the penthouse. Using scissors, he snipped a thick green leaf into pieces. Nearby, two rats turned a spinning wheel to make thread. Kermit carefully stitched the pieces of the leaf together to make a warm winter coat. Then he started to make snow boots. He hammered and cobbled until they were just right. He even added his signature pom-poms to the toes. When he was done, he tucked earmuffs and woolly gloves into his satchel, along with the Wingology book. He looked at himself in the mirror)
(Not bad! he thought. He was ready for winter! Smiling, he turned to fly off on his adventure…and fell flat on his face!)
Kermit: Agh!
(He'd forgotten that with his warm coat on, he couldn't flap his wings)
Kermit: Can't fly.
(Luckily, with the plan he had in mind to get to the Winter Woods, something else would be doing the flying for him!)
(INT. CHURCH CHAPEL – DAY. Clamina stands at the alter. Sea Salt stands off to one side. She peeks out to the audience)
(Grotto waves at her from the pews)
(The crown is placed on Clamina's head. The scepter and orb are presented to Clamina on a pillow. She slowly reaches for them)
Bishop: (CLEARS THROAT) (a whisper) Your Majesty, the gloves.
(Clamina hesitates. She breaths nervously, removes her gloves, places them on the pillow. Her hands shake. She takes the orb and scepter, and turns to the people)
Bishop: (formal, in Old Norse) Sehm hon HELL-drr IN-um HELL-gum AYG-num ok krund ee THES-um HELL-gah STAHTH, ehk teh frahm FUR-ear U-thear…
(The scepter and orb start to freeze over)
Bishop: Queen Clamina of the Winter Woods.
Crowd: Queen Clamina of the Winter Woods.
(Just in time. Clamina manages to set the orb and scepter back down the pillow before anyone notice the ice. She picks up her gloves and slips them on. She made it)
(EXT. BALCONY – DUSK. Sea Salt takes her hand. Leans in close)
Sea Salt: I would never shut you out.
Clamina: Okay, can I just say something crazy?
Grotto: I love crazy.
("Match is an Open Door")
Clamina: (SINGING) All my life has been a series of doors in my face.
And then suddenly I bump into you.
Grotto: I was thinking the same thing, because like…
I've been searching my whole life
To find my own place.
And maybe it's the party talking,
Or the chocolate fondue.
Clamina: But with you
Grotto: But with you,
I found my place.
Clamina: I see your face.
All: And it's nothing like I've ever known before.
(They jump to the neighboring balcony and enter a door)
(They come out on top of one of the house's towers)
All: Love is an open door!
Love is an open door!
(Cut to them sliding across an empty hallway in their socks)
All: Love is an open door
Clamina: With you!
Grotto: With you!
Clamina: With you!
Sea Salt: With you!
All: Love is an open door.
(They hop up on the house roof and watch a moon)
Sea Salt: I mean it's crazy.
Clamina: What?
Sea Salt: We finish each other's
Clamina: Sandwiches!
Grotto: That's what I was gonna say!
(They slide down the back of the roof out of sight)
(We next find them strutting on a bridge ledge)
Clamina: I've never met someone
All: Who thinks so much like me.
(SPOKEN) Jinx! Jinx again!
(Are they doing the robot? No. They're imitating the mechanical figures on the clock tower)
All: Our mental synchronization
Can have but one explanation,
Sea Salt: You
Clamina: And I
Grotto: Were
Clamina: Just
All: Meant to be.
(Clamina, Grotto, and Sea Salt dance on top of the roof and cast dancing shadows across the ice)
Clamina: Say goodbye
Sea Salt: Say goodbye
All: To the pain of the past.
We don't have to feel it anymore!
Love is an open door!
(They play hide and seek amongst the stable doors)
All: Love is an open door!
(They climb to the waterfall looking out over the Winter Woods)
(Clamina raises up her hands to frame the moon. Grotto puts his hands on top of hers. Together their hands form a heart)
All: Life can be so much more
Clamina: With you!
Sea Salt: With you!
Clamina: With you!
Grotto: With you!
All: Love is an open
Grotto: Door.
Clamina: Door.
Grotto: Can I say something crazy? Will you be our friend?
Clamina: (GASPS) Can I say something even crazier? Yes!
(INT. BACKSTAGE, BERLIN NATIONAL THEATER – NIGHT. The Muppets (Animal, Rizzo, Floyd, Beaker, Camilla, Lew Zealand, Walter, Foo Foo, Miss Piggy, Sweetums, Gonzo, Scooter, Rowlf, Fozzie) ran around and rushed to be ready in time for the big show)
(MUPPETS TALKING INDISTINCTLY)
Scooter: Has anyone seen Kermit?
Floyd: (being pulled by Animal) Whoa!
Scooter: It's 15 minutes to curtain.
(Dominic walked out, with Constantine close behind)
Dominic: Hi, guys. Look, it's Kermit, just back from his afternoon stroll.
Constantine: Hi-lo! I am Kermit.
Miss Piggy: What…
DOMINIC: He's got a cold. That's why his voice sounds a little bit different at the moment.
Muppets: (AGREEING)
Constantine: (COUGHS)
Dominic: See? Just calm down. Just relax.
Constantine: You are right. Dominic is terrific! From now on, let's do whatever he says. Hmm?
(The Muppets all cheered)
All: All right. Yeah.
Fozzie: Wow, that walk must have really helped.
(Constantine turned and bowed to Miss Piggy)
Constantine: Miss Pig, I have wronged you. I humbly beg your forgiveness.
(Foo Foo wagged her tail and licked Constantine's hand)
(But Miss Piggy wasn't as immediately impressed)
Miss Piggy: You're not getting off that easy, bucko. Come on, Foo Foo. (HARRUMPHS)
(As she sauntered away, Animal sensed something was off about Kermit)
Animal: (SNIFFING) Bad frog! Bad frog!
(Then he bit Constantine's arm!)
Constantine: What is this? Let go, dog!
(Floyd had to pull Animal off of him)
Floyd: Animal, stop it! Kermit has agreed that Dominic is right all the time, man.
DOMINIC: Good. So, now that Kermit agrees with me on everything…
Constantine: I am Kermit.
Dominic: Definitely. Let's go and hang out backstage, yeah?
Scooter: Okay, all right.
Constantine: (to Walter) Come, little friend. Let us get on with the show and enjoy our family-style adventure during which we shall bond and learn heartwarming lesson. Perhaps about sharing, or waiting your turn, or the number three. Hmm?
Walter: Um… Right, Kermit. Uh… Sure.
(INT. DRESSING ROOM, BERLIN NATIONAL THEATER – NIGHT. Dominic commended his partner in crime, Constantine)
Dominic: Flawlessly executed. Bravo.
(Constantine shrugged casually)
Constantine: What did you expect from world's most dangerous frog and world's number one criminal, Number Two?
Dominic: Yeah, I know. You're Number One, I'm Number Two. I think you mentioned that before in a few times.
Constantine: Now that we control the Muppet tour, Number Two, phase one of our plan is complete. We are now positioned to carry out greatest… (MUMBLING) Burgle… Blurgh-el… Burgle…
Dominic: "Burglary."
Constantine: Yes. …of all time, and pin it on those gullible Muppets, who will spend the rest of their miserable lives behind bars. Tonight, we steal the painting and then we'll have all we need to steal the unstealable, the Crown Jewels of England. Ensuring that my name goes down in history as the greatest thief of all time!
Dominic: You mean our names, right?
Constantine: Of course. My name first, then spacebar, spacebar, spacebar, spacebar, your name.
DOMINIC: Sure.
Constantine: (SINGING) I'm Number One, you're Number Two
We're criminals at large, but I'm at larger than you
I'm Number One, you're Number Two
I believe in equality as long as you get less than me
I'm one
Dominic: You're one
Constantine: You're Number Two
Dominic: I'm Number Two
Constantine: You may think that you're smarter, but I'm smarter-er than you
I'm Number One, you're Number Two
You're lucky to be Number Two not Number Three
I can see by the look in your eye
You want to get a bigger piece of the pie
One day you'll get your chance
But in the meantime you've got to dance monkey dance!
Dominic: Really? I'm not a dance major.
Constantine: Do it, dance monkey dance!
A-ha!
Dominic: I'm Number Two, he's Number One
I can't believe I'm working for an amphibian
I'm Number Two, he's Number One
Constantine: I'M NUMBER ONE!
Dominic: You know life's gone to the dogs, when your boss is a frog
I can see it's just a matter of time
Before he's gone and I'm at the front of the line
It won't be long 'til I'll get my chance
But in the meantime, I've got to dance monkey dance
Constantine: Dance monkey dance!
I'm Number Two
Dominic: He's Number One
Constantine: You're Number Two
Dominic: I'm Number Two
Constantine: That's it kid, there you go. Now step aside this ain't your show!
I'm Number One
Dominic: I'm Number One
Constantine: I'm Number One
Dominic: Yes, we know
Both: I'm/He's Number One
Constantine: That's how it's done
(Suddenly, someone was knocking on the door. It was Scooter)
Scooter: 15 seconds to curtain… Kermit?
Dominic: Sure.
Scooter: Uh… Okay.
(Dominic rolled his eyes. In order to get to the Crown Jewels, hidden in the Tower of London, they'd have to steal a map, a key, and a locket, located in museums all over Europe. This would require a lot of planning. He held up a bunch of Muppet VHS tapes)
Dominic: Have you studied your Kermit tapes yet?
Constantine: Of course. This is child's play for frog of my talent. (GRUNTS)
(Full of pride, he walked out of the dressing room)
(INT. STAGE, NATIONAL BERLIN THEATER – NIGHT. Constantine got into position for the opening number. It was showtime!)
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your host, Kermit the Frog.
Constantine: "Study Kermit tapes." Nonsense.
(A drumroll began…)
(Constantine opened the O of the MUPPET SHOW sign. He stuck his head out, looked at the audience…and froze in terror)
Dominic: Oh, no.
(Constantine had the worst stage fright of all time!)
(Scooter whispered from the side of the stage)
Scooter: Kermit! Introduce the show.
(But all Constantine could manage to say was:)
Constantine: Ahhhrrgghghh.
(Then he passed out!)
(The audience gasped, and Scooter jumped onstage to announce the show, in the same manner as Kermit normally did)
Scooter: (STAMMERING) It's the Muppet Show! With our very special guest star, Christoph Waltz! Yay!
(The music plays "The Muppet Show" as the sign goes up with Constantine hanging)
Constantine: What is happening? Why am I flying?
(Constantine is slumped through the hole and falls into the stage)
(The audience gasped)
Miss Piggy: What the…
Scooter: We gotta do something!
(Sweetums pulls Constantine off the stage while the curtains close. They skipped the opening theme. Scooter appears on stage)
Scooter: (STAMMERING) (SPEAKING IN GERMAN) Please welcome our first act, Australian superstar…
(The celebrity guest host CHRISTOPH WALTZ popped out from the curtains)
Christoph Waltz: Not Australian. Austrian. Austrian.
Scooter: Yeah, of course. Yes, right. Cancel the Waltzing Matilda opening Australian number.
(The kangaroo, the koala, and Beauregard gasped)
Beauregard: But we rehearsed it.
Koala: What?
Kangaroo: Jeez Louise.
Scooter: Sorry. Austrian superstar, Herr Christoph Waltz dances the waltz!
(The show began with an elegant ballroom number. Christoph Waltz danced the waltz with Sweetums, along with the others (Wayne & Wanda, Link Hogthrob & Mildred Huxtetter, the Newsman & Annie Sue))
(INT. BACKSTAGE – NIGHT. Dressed head to toe in black, Dominic looked ready for a burglary)
(INT. STAGE, NATIONAL BERLIN THEATER – NIGHT. The waltz continues)
Christoph Waltz: Darling, you set my world on fire.
Sweetums: Oh!
(This caught Crazy Harry's attention)
Crazy Harry: Did somebody say "explosion"?
Sweetums: No! He says I set his world on fire.
Crazy Harry: There it is again!
(Then he start blowing up the scenery to the beat of the music! Everyone panicked)
Annie Sue: Wait for me! Please! Wait for me.
(With each loud explosion onstage from Crazy Harry, Dominic hammered through the basement wall to reach the museum on the other side)
Crazy Harry: One more!
SWEETUMS: Keep waltzing, Mr. Waltz!
(Crazy Harry blew up the last bit of onstage. The audience applauded)
(INT. BACKSTAGE – NIGHT. The wall had broken down)
Constantine: It was, uh, a stomach bug and vertigo. That's not a stage fright, if that's why you're thinking, Number Two.
Dominic: Sure.
(They climbed through the hole into the museum!)
(INT. NATIONAL TREASURE MUSEUM – NIGHT. From the museum basement, they headed up to the first floor. They walked past oil portraits, stopping in front of a painting of Colonel Thomas Blood, an angry-looking-17th-century Muppet)
DOMINIC: Colonel Thomas Blood.
(He lifted the painting off the wall and cut it from its frame with a knife)
Dominic: Right, now to cover our tracks.
(He grabbed some priceless paintings, which set off the museum's alarm system. He hoped that would give the police the wrong idea: that the burglars were after the priceless paintings, not the Colonel Blood one)
Constantine: Let's get out of here!
(He headed for the door)
(Behind him, Dominic took a coin out of his pocket, left it on the floor, and fled)
(INT. UNIVERSITY OF WINTER – NIGHT. A royal gramma ice harvester chatting with his reindeer assistant. We recognize them as Chlorine and Sven, all grown up. Sven hops around excitedly like a dog and nuzzles Chlorine's chest)
Chlorine: (CHUCKLES) What do you want, Sven?
(Chlorine leans in and speaks for Sven, as if he can)
Chlorine: (as Sven) "Give me a snack." What's the magic word? (as Sven) "Please."
(Chlorine pulls out a carrot and hands it to Sven. Sven tries to bite the whole thing)
Chlorine: Uh! Uh-uh-uh. Share.
(Sven takes a smaller bite. Chlorine then has a bite himself, not seeming to care that it's covered in reindeer slobber)
(Well behind the door, a figure enters. It's Clamina. Finally, she stops, looks around. Catches her breath and sings…)
("Let it Go")
Clamina: The snow glows white
On the mountain tonight,
Not a footprint to be seen.
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the Queen.
The wind is howling
Like this swirling storm inside.
Couldn't keep it in,
Heaven knows I tried.
Don't let them in,
Don't let them see,
Be the good girl you always have to be.
Conceal,
Don't feel,
Don't let them know.
Well, now they know.
(Clamina takes off her gloves and throws it into the air)
Clamina: Let it go. Let it go.
Can't hold it back anymore.
(Clamina and her teacher, PROFESSOR WAVE creates a snowman, just like the one she made with Grotto and Sea Salt when they were children)
Clamina: Let it go. Let it go.
Turn away and slam the door.
I don't care what they're going to say.
Let the storm rage on.
The cold never bothered me anyway.
(Clamina lets her cape fly back into the wind)
Clamina: It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small.
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all.
It's time to see
What I can do,
To test the limits and break through.
No right, no wrong,
No rules for me. I'm free!
(Clamina creates ice steps and climbs them)
Clamina: Let it go! Let it go!
I am one with the wind and sky.
Let it go! Let it go!
You'll never see me cry.
Here I stand and here I'll stay.
(Clamina slams her foot down and forms a giant snowflake)
Clamina: Let the storm rage on…
(In a flurry of creative release, she raises the snowflake on ice beams, builds walls, archways, a glistening chandelier, and an intricate ceiling that leaves the sky visible)
Clamina: My power flurries through the air
Into the ground.
My soul is spiraling in frozen
Fractals all around.
And one though crystallizes like
An icy blast-
(Standing firmly, Clamina removes her crown and throws it)
Clamina: I'm never going back,
(back to resolve) The past is in the past!
(She creates her hair curly and creates a new strapless dress made of ice)
Clamina: Let it go! Let it go!
And I'll rise like the break of dawn.
Let it go! Let it go!
(The sun rises. Clamina struts onto out onto a balcony and into the light. She's free)
Clamina: That perfect girl is gone.
Here I stand in the light of day.
Let the storm rage on!!
The cold never bothered me anyway.
(She turns and slams her ice door on us)
(INT. NATIONAL TREASURE MUSEUM – DAY. The newspaper headline told the story: Priceless German and American portraits stolen from German National Treasure Museum!)
(Police barricaded the crime scene. SAM THE EAGLE, an interested party, flashed his CIA badge)
Sam the Eagle: CIA.
(Interpol agent JEAN PIERRE NAPOLEON flashed a larger badge)
Jean Pierre: Interpol! What is the CIA doing here? This is my jurisdiction. Not to mention, my badge is bigger.
Sam the Eagle: One of the stolen paintings was on loan from the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. So, this is CIA jurisdiction. Also, this is my travel badge. Here's my real badge.
(He removed a gigantic badge from a suitcase)
Jean Pierre: Oh. You must have been looking at the wrong. Badge!
(He ripped open his shirt, revealing his entire chest covered in a badge)
(Sam the Eagle nodded)
Sam the Eagle: What? (SIGHS) You've won this round, Pierre.
Jean Pierre: My name is "Jean."
Sam the Eagle: Okay, Shawn. It looks like we're gonna be working together. But that doesn't mean I have to like you.
Jean Pierre: I didn't like you first.
Sam the Eagle: I didn't like you before I met you.
(He looked around the crime scene)
Sam the Eagle: So, what have we got?
(Jean Pierre looked at his notes)
Jean Pierre: Two priceless paintings stolen and one average painting of an obscure English colonel stolen.
Sam the Eagle: Hmm.
Jean Pierre: This has all the markings of the work of the Lemur.
Sam the Eagle: What's a lemur?
Jean Pierre: Only the second most wanted criminal in the world. And my personal nemesis. Unfortunately for me, his identity is a mystery.
(Sam the Eagle shook his head)
Sam the Eagle: No, literally, what is a lemur?
Jean Pierre: Oh. It is also a rat-monkey from Madagascar.
(Then he spotted a coin on the floor and bent down to pick it up)
Jean Pierre: A-ha! Just as I suspected.
(He showed it to Sam the Eagle, noting the lemur that was embossed on the face of the coin)
Jean Pierre: This coin is his calling card. The Lemur, he is playing with us.
(The UPS delivery man came in with the package)
USP Guy: I have a delivery here for Mr. Eagle.
Sam the Eagle: Right here.
(The UPS guy hands Sam the Eagle the rope)
USP Guy: And here's your rope.
Sam the Eagle: Mmm.
(He pulled the rope and the cloth falls off to reveal a biggest CIA badge)
Sam the Eagle: You were saying?
(Jean Pierre pulled out a folder and handed it to Sam the Eagle)
Jean Pierre: Here's the Lemur file. It's everything we have on him.
(Sam the Eagle opened it to find it full of Lemur coins. And nothing else)
(EXT. ALPINE LEDERHOSEN FACTORY, BERLIN – DAY. Kermit cautiously peeked out from behind a village. He saw Tulip and the other villagers hard at work. Slipping his hood on his head. Kermit quietly tiptoed into the workshop)
TULIP: Hurry, now, hurry! Let's finish up. Stand by with the pulley. All right! It's this season's final pickup, so let's make it our best. Lucy, let's leave the loafing for the Baking Berliners.
(Kermit hid behind a large bin and spied on the Nerdlucks. They were testing out the basket they just made)
BANG: Okay, Poundy.
Pound: Right!
(He pulled down on a large lever, and the bottom of the basket opened up. The Nerdlucks fell through it and onto the ground with a loud thump!)
BUPKUS: Ouch.
Pound: Snowflake release system working!
BLANKO: Maybe you should be the test snowflake for a while.
(Without a sound, Kermit pulled a small grappling hook attached to a rope out of his satchel. Quickly, he tossed the hook toward the top of the basket. It caught hold. Pleased with himself, Kermit began to climb up and into the basket. He was so close to getting a ride to the Winter Woods!)
Pound: Kermit?
(Uh-oh! Kermit thought. He'd been caught!)
Nawt: We already checked that basket.
(They thought Kermit was helping them prepare for the final pickup)
Kermit: Right. Uh…
Pound: Why are you dressed all cozy?
Kermit: I'm going to the Winter Woods.
(ALL GASP)
Bang: (LOUDLY) The Winter Woods?
Kermit: Shh!
(Thankfully, Tulip was busy on the other side of the factory, counting the last batch of baskets)
Bang: (WHISPERING) The Winter Woods?
(Kermit was about to explain when suddenly a loud horn sounded)
TULIP: Places, everyone!
Kermit: The snowy owls. They're here!
TULIP: Start the pulley!
(The baskets that the employees had been making all day started to move along the rope up to the delivery tower. Kermit didn't have time to think. It was now or never)
Kermit: Bye!
(Before they could stop him, Kermit hoisted himself into a moving basket and began rising into the air)
POUND: Kermit! Wait!
(They ran after him. The pulley was carrying baskets up to meet the snowy owls as they swooped down. Kermit's basket was nearing the top)
Nawt: You can't cross the border, Mr. Froggy. Your wings!
Kermit: Don't worry. They're in my coat.
Pound: Does this have to do with the…(GASPS)
(They turned their attention to the owl as he whoosh by and picked up the basket)
Pound: The sparkling?
Kermit: Yes. There's somebody in winter who can tell me what it means.
Tulip: Nerdlucks! Is something wrong with that basket?
Bang: What? Oh.
(They turned their attention again to the owl as he picked up another basket)
(ALL STAMMERING)
BUPKUS: Snowy owls!
(Bang shot Kermit a nervous glance. Sh looked at him pleadingly. They couldn't give him away now!)
Bang: Kermit?
Kermit: I just have to do this.
(They heard another whoosh of the owl)
Blanko: Uh, no. Everything is, uh, fine. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Pound: We're just sad to see it go. Pretty basket.
Tulip: Oh! Honestly. Let it go!
(They released their hold on the basket, and one by one the snowy owls swooped down to collect the deliveries. Kermit peeked over the edge. His basket was next for pickup!)
(Just then, the young owl from the previous day came into view. He was assigned to collect Kermit's basket)
Tulip: That's the new one.
Bupkus: Uh, new one?
Tulip: Mmm-hmm.
(A new owl wouldn't be as steady when picking up a heavy basket as the other, more experienced owls. They hoped the bird wouldn't drop Kermit!)
(A moment later, the young owl flew past and grabbed the handles of Kermit's basket. He wobbled a little. The he flapped his wings hard, trying to keep up with his brothers)
(Kermit smiled. They were on their way…)
(…and heading straight for a wall! Panicking, Kermit crouched against the side of the basket and braced for impact. But at the second, the determined little owl gained enough momentum to lift the basket up and over the wall. They just missed it)
(Back on the ground, the Nerdlucks let out a sigh of relief. That was close!)
(Kermit sneaked a look back at his friends one last time and then he quickly ducked down)
Tulip: Excellent work, everyone. They're off to the cold of winter. Well, that's that until next year.
(As Tulip left, the Nerdlucks continued watching Kermit's basket disappear over the horizon. Even 80's Robot)
80's Robot: Stay warm, Mr. Kermit.
(EXT. BERLIN AND BOUNDARY – DAY. Inside the basket, Kermit was nervous and excited. There was no turning back now. He was going to the Winter Woods!)
(Peering over the edge, he saw the border between Berlin and winter rapidly approaching. It grew closer, and closer, and then …)
(Fwoom!)
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. The moment they crossed over, a burst of cold air hit Kermit hard. He shivered and opened his eyes. He was in winter!)
(The snowy owl flew on at top speed. Kermit held tight and watched as a world of white whizzed past him. Winter was incredible! They dipped under a sparkling ice bridge and then pulled up high over a magnificent snowy valley. Kermit's breath came in short puffs of frosty air. It was like nothing he had ever seen or felt before. No stories about the Winter Woods could have prepared him for this)
Kermit: I made it.
(Up ahead, a handsome winter citizen named CALYPSO (23), who is the frost prince and Clamina's imaginary snowman, flew over to greet his owl)
CALYPSO: Welcome back.
(Kermit ducked down inside the basket, hiding)
Kermit: A Winter Citizen.
CALYPSO: You ready for the drop-off?
(OWL SQUAWKS)
Calypso: Come on. You did it yesterday. You'll be fine.
Owl: (SQUAWKS)
Calypso: All right then. Here we go.
(As Kermit watched, Calypso flew ahead and spiraled down to a hilltop covered in snow. He realized that the owls were going to drop the baskets onto a long icy slide that would take them to a factory similar to the basket depot back in Germany. Kermit gulped. This was going to be a bumpy ride!)
(On Calypso's signal, the owls swooped forward one by one and let go of their baskets. Kermit's basket lurched to one side as his owl got ready to release it. Kermit was thrown against the edge, and he accidentally hit the snowflake release lever!)
(Instantly, the trapdoor at the bottom of his basket sprang open. His satchel started to slide toward it. Quickly, Kermit snatched it up. But the basket rocked to and fro. He started to roll toward the open trapdoor himself!)
(Kermit grabbed the edge of the opening just before he would have fallen through, and with all his strength, pulled himself back up and closed the trapdoor. Whew!)
(But Kermit wasn't out of trouble yet. His owl had been thrown off balance by his tumbling. Startled, he accidentally released the basket too soon. It careened out of control)
(EXT. SNOWFLAKE DEPOT, THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. A winter citizen below spotted the renegade basket)
SNOW CITIZENS: Look out!
(Kermit's basket slid down the chute and smashed into a pile of bins already loaded with snowflakes. Frosty crystals flew everywhere! As his basket rolled to a stop, Kermit remained perfectly still. The winter citizens were scampering to clean up the mess)
CALYPSO: Sorry about that.
(Thankfully, no one had spotted him. Kermit quickly started to gather all the things that had fallen out of his satchel. But wait – something was missing)
Kermit: Oh, no.
(Kermit peeked around the rim of his basket. The wing book was lying out in the open!)
(Just then, a large shadow passed overhead. A massive snowy owl, whooshed by, and a powerful-looking person wearing a cape leapt down to the ground)
Calypso: Lord Milori.
(Kermit knew that must be the Lord of Winter Scooter had told him about. The one who had made the rule those citizens couldn't cross the border. Now Kermit really needed to stay hidden!)
Lord Milori: And what happened here?
Calypso: A bit of a bumpy landing. It's only his second drop-off.
(The owl gave the lord a sheepish grin)
Lord Milori: As long as the basket made it, I'd say he did just fine.
(As Lord Milori and Calypso were talking, Kermit moves the basket closer to get the book back)
Lord Milori: How was the crossing?
Calypso: Four bunnies, two weasels, and a marmot.
Lord Milori: And they all crossed safely.
Calypso: Yes, I met up with them on the north side.
Lord Milori: The snowflakes are looking quite beautiful.
Female Winter Citizen: (CHUCKLES) No two alike.
(Kermit tried to reach the wing book with his foot. But it was too far away. He stretched just a little bit more…and accidentally knocked the book with his toe)
Kermit: No, no, no.
LORD MILORI: Ambitious.
(It slid out of reach, and right into Lord Milori's boot!)
Lord Milori: Hmm. (Picking up the book) Now that is odd.
Kermit: Oh!
(Kermit smacked his hand against head. This was a disaster!)
(Lord Milori studied the book carefully)
Lord Milori: It must have been left in the basket by accident. Return this to the Keeper.
Kermit: (GASPS) The Keeper.
LORD MILORI: He can send it back to the warm side with his next delivery. (URGES OWL)
(He mounted his owl and took off into the sky. Once he had left, Calypso picked up the book and headed out of the snowflake depot)
(Kermit watched him go. If he was off to see the Keeper, then there was only one thing to do. He was going to follow him)
(EXT. CHAMBER DOORS, THE HALL OF WINTER – DAY. In the Hall of Winter, just outside the Keeper's chamber doors, Kermit listened carefully. He had followed Calypso all the way there, and he was speaking with the Keeper now)
CALYPSO: It must have come from the warm side. In one of the baskets.
(He turned to walk off)
Calypso: Thanks.
(Once Calypso was out of sight, Kermit quietly stepped inside the chamber)
(INT. CHAMBER, THE HALL OF WINTER – DAY. But the floor was slippery. It was made entirely of ice. Kermit could barely stand up)
(He clung to a wall and struggled to get his balance. As he steadied himself, he noticed a soft purring noise coming from behind him. Slowly, he turned around…)
(An enormous lynx named FIONA was just inches from his face! Kermit clapped his mouth over his mouth. But when the creature snored, he realized it was asleep. Sighting with relief, Kermit backed away…)
(…and slipped on the ice!)
Kermit: Ahhh!
(He slid down into the frozen depths of the hall. He kept sliding and sliding, until finally he crashed into a large stack of ice books against the wall)
(INT. LIBRARY, THE HALL OF WINTER – DAY. This was not going as well as he'd hoped. He staggered to his feet and looked around)
(What he saw took his breath away. He was in a grand library, bigger than any room he had ever seen. Thousands of books lined the wall, and stacks of frosty parchments towered in every corner. Several large ice tablets teetered on the edges of their shelves, held in place by even more books and papers piled on top. It was incredible!)
(Across the room, Kermit spotted the wing book that Calypso had dropped off. He began to inch over to it when suddenly a slender, elderly person walked in. He had gray mustache and toupee and small, round spectacles. Kermit could hear him mumbling to himself)
TRIDENT: That's the end of that chapter. Boy, that's a beauty. Flora and Fauna of the Citizens.
(That must be the Keeper, Kermit thought. He couldn't believe it. He had found him!)
Trident: Put a period there, then we are pretty much done. Wait. I forgot to number the pages. Oh! I'm going to have to start all over on this large book.
(He was just about to step out from behind the ice books when a young winter citizen, who is Clamina, came whizzing by)
CLAMINA: Keeper. Keeper!
Trident: Yes, what…
CLAMINA: The most amazing thing happened. You'll never believe it.
Trident: Okay, I'm coming. I'm coming.
CLAMINA: I've never felt anything like it! My friends didn't believe me, but how could they because it's so…
TRIDENT: Slow down. I can only listen so fast.
(Kermit watched as Clamina paused to catch her breath. As Kermit listened, a tingling sensation suddenly overwhelmed him. He looked over his shoulder and saw that his wings were shimmering so brightly he could see them right through his coat)
CLAMINA: Yesterday, at the border, my wings. They actually…they lit up. It's happening again!
(Kermit watched as Clamina paused to catch her breath. The commotion had woken Fiona from its nap, and wandered into the room. Clamina greeted the large cat)
Clamina: Hi, Fiona.
(Then she turned back to the Keeper)
Clamina: You've got to tell me what it means!
(She turned so that the Keeper could see his wings were sparkling)
Trident: Oh…Well, I'll be a yeti's uncle.
(Kermit peeked out from his hiding place and got a good look at the winter princess's face for the first time. His stomach did a little flip. Something felt so familiar about the princess! She had short, brunette hair and aqua eyes. Her dress was made from a delicate material that glistened like frost in the sunlight. Kermit was positive that he had never met this girl. But he couldn't help feeling drawn to her. He took off his coat and stepped out of hiding)
(The princess turned and stared at Kermit. They began drifting toward one another, as if an invisible force guided them)
Trident: In all my years.
Clamina: Your wings. They're sparkling.
Kermit: Like yours.
Trident: (LAUGHS INCREDULOUSLY) I've written about the sparkling, but I've never seen the sparkling with my own peepers! (CHUCKLING EXCITEDLY) Oh, uh, follow me!
(EXT. THE HALL OF WINTER – DAY. The van transporting Kermit arrived at the main hall)
KERMIT: You've got the wrong frog!
(EXT. MAIN HALL, THE HALL OF WINTER – DAY. Kermit was put in the main hall with the worst of the worst: the LIBRARY KING, MISS POOGY, DANNY TREJO, and BIG PAPA)
Library King: It's Constantine.
Kermit: What?
Library King: He's back.
(All the librarians kneeled and bowed down to Kermit)
(Kermit looked at all the down and dirty folks around him)
Kermit: What are you doing? I'm not Constantine. I don't know who that is. My name is Kermit.
Danny Trejo: Constantine, always with the jokes!
(The librarians all thought that was hilarious)
Miss Poogy: Good old Constantine. Always trying to pull a fast one. (LAUGHING)
(The Library King stepped up to Kermit)
Library King: Old friend, it's been too long. Since you are back, I guess you are in charge of library again. Here, take library crown.
(He held out a handmade crown made of sporks)
Library King: We have to readjust it again. Sergei, you get on that. Take, take.
(They all left)
Kermit: Oh, thank you. Uh… (CLEARS THROAT)
(The librarians all fell silent, in shock)
(Uh-oh, though Kermit. What did I do wrong?)
(Finally, Big Papa spoke up)
Big Papa: Wait a minute. I've known Constantine for years.
Library King: And he has never…
Danny Trejo: Ever…
Miss Poogy: Said, "Thank you."
Kermit: Because I am not Constantine.
Danny Trejo: Who would do such a thing?
(The Library King stepped up again and sniffed him)
Library King: How dare you?
(He took the crown from Kermit. The librarians went wild)
MISS POOGY: He's not Constantine!
Big Papa: Let's throw him in the recycling compacter!
(Kermit screamed as the librarians rushed toward him)
MISS POOGY: Throw him in the compacter!
Kermit: But I'm always green!
MISS POOGY: Squash that frog!
(Suddenly…)
TRIDENT: Put the frog down.
(He turned to discover that the voice belonged to Trident. He held his staff and used it on the other librarians)
Trident: Or I will deploy.
(Kermit was dropped on the ground)
(Trident helped Kermit up)
Kermit: (WHIMPERING) Where am I?
Trident: The Hall of Winter.
Kermit: The Hall of Winter?
Library King: Hall of Winter. The Big House.
Danny Trejo: Casa Grande!
All: The Big House!
Trident: Hit it, boys.

(INT. VAST HALL, THE HALL OF WINTER – DAY. The Keeper ushered Kermit and Clamina through the vast hall. He pointed his cane toward a great room with a giant snowflake pattern on the floor)
Kermit: Listen, I'm telling you, you've got the wrong frog!
Trident: If you are not Constantine, why do you have that mole?
Kermit: It's not real. Someone glued it to my lip.
Trident: Sure, frog. Everyone is innocent in the Hall of Winter. As far as authorities are concerned, you are Constantine. Glue or no glue.
Kermit: Who is this Constantine guy anyway?
(Trident took a deep breath and explained)
Trident: Abandoned as tadpole by his mother, Constantine was adopted by owner Russia's largest bomb factory, which he subsequently blew up. He is world's foremost explosives expert and number one criminal. He blows up the scenes of his crimes to cover his tiny frog-sized tracks.
Kermit: Well, listen, I can assure you I'm terrified of bombs. Especially on stage. (CHUCKLES)
(He instantly realized his joke bombed)
Trident: That was bad on two levels. We'll call this main hall, "Disco Plaza." Technically, we haven't actually had a party here yet. But when we do, we'll be ready.
(The Keeper presses a remote and a disco ball drops from the ceiling on a cord. The cord snaps and the disco ball smashes onto the floor)
Trident: (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Now, step the footsies on the snowflake.
(Kermit place his suit on top of his cane and rushed with Clamina to the middle of the snowflake. The Keeper tapped his cane on the floor, and the room went dark. Instantly, the snowflake Kermit and Clamina were standing on lit up and rose off the ground. Amazed, the two citizens held perfectly still)
Trident: Just put your wings into the light!
(Together, the citizens lifted their wings into the sunlight streaming down from an opening in the ceiling. The rays shone through their wings. Then an incredible thing happened. The light began projecting images from their pasts on the icy chamber wall. The first picture was of Big Ben, the clock tower in London)
Kermit: London.
(The scene switched to a baby laughing for the first time. The citizens watched as the laugh split in two and landed on a dandelion. Two wisps from the flower took flight and danced across a night sky. But before they could reach over the ocean, one got caught in the water. The other traveled on. A strong gust of wind came and and blew the tangled wisp in the opposite direction, toward IGP Inc.)
KERMIT: Oh, no.
(Images of the citizens arriving in Los Angeles, California, United States and the Winter Woods, Oslo, Norway appeared–Kermit in the dry land at Los Angeles)
Young Kermit: Hi-ho.
CITIZENS: Hi-ho.
(And the other citizen in the nursery at the Winter Woods who is Clamina (age 5))
Young Clamina: Hi-ho.
Kermit: Two people born of the same laugh. So that means…
Clamina: You're my…
Both: So we're…Sisters.
(The Keeper nodded and gestured to the citizens' wings)
Trident: Yes! And your wings are identical. That is why they sparkle.
(Turning their backs to each other, Kermit and Clamina lined up their wings. The Keeper was right–the patterns marched perfectly! A bright spark of light suddenly burst forth when their wings touched. It created a beam that shone all the way to the ceiling)
Both: (EXCLAIM) Jingles! (LAUGHING)
Trident: Ah… Oh, boy. Maybe you shouldn't do that.
(Kermit turned to Clamina and introduced himself)
Kermit: Um, I'm Kermit the Frog.
Clamina: I'm Clamina.
(Kermit thought back to how his wings had sparkled the first time he jumped into winter)
Kermit: So you must have been at the border.
Clamina: Yeah. I was hoping to see the mammals cross.
Kermit: I guess I didn't see you.
Clamina: (CHUCKLES) Me either. (GASPS)
(She looked at the frog's pointed necklace)
Kermit: What?
(With an excited squeal, she reached into her pocket and pulled out two identical pom-poms)
Clamina: (GASPS) I usually just wear them at home.
(She puts them on her toes. She looked beautiful)
Kermit: Wow.
(At that moment, a voice bellowed through the chamber)
LORD MILORI: Hello. Keeper, are you in?
Trident: Yipping yetis, Lord Milori!
Clamina: If he sees you, he'll send you back.
LORD MILORI: Keeper? Are you here?
Trident: Don't worry. I'm going to take care of this.
Lord Milori: Where are you?
Trident: Ah. Come back later!
Lord Milori: Keeper?
Trident: Whoa, boy. Can't get that one back.
Lord Milori: I need to speak with you. It's important.
(Kermit and Clamina crouched down on the large, hovering snowflake. As long as they stayed there, Lord Milori wouldn't be able to see them from down below)
Trident: I'll be right back.
(He flew down to see Lord Milori. He greeted the royal citizen)
Trident: I'm right here, Lord Milori.
Lord Milori: Did you receive the wing book?
Trident: You know, once upon a time, you'd stop by just to say hello and how do you do.
Lord Milori: (SIGHS) I'm sorry. Hello.
Trident: How do you do?
Lord Milori: (SIGHS) How do you do. This book has me worried. What if a Warm Citizen brought it here?
TRIDENT: Well, that might be nice, then, meeting a Warm Citizen. Especially one with such good taste in books.
Lord Milori: It's too cold.
Trident: Maybe if they were wearing a coat, or one of them little sweater vests. They're nice.
(The look that crossed Lord Milori's face made it clear that he was losing his patience)
Lord Milori: I'll remind you. Crossing the border is forbidden.
Trident: There was a time when it wasn't.
Lord Milori: The rule is there to keep people safe. That will never change.
Trident: But I…
Lord Milori: If a Warm Citizen comes here, you will send them back.
Trident: Of course.
(Up above on the floating snowflake, Kermit and Clamina exchanged a worried look. This didn't sound good)
Lord Milori: Thank you. (Turning to leave)
(Once he was out of sight, the snowflake Kermit and Clamina were on descended to the floor)
Trident: Well, you heard the Lord Milori. He said you must go back home. Of course, he didn't say when.
(The sisters hugged and cheered, happy to have more time to spend together)
Trident: Now, listen, you two, it gets colder in three days' time, so it's best to get Kermit the Frog home.
(Clamina gave the Keeper a big hug)
Clamina: Thank you, Trident.
Kermit: Trident.
Clamina: That's his real name.
Trident: It's what my friends call me.
Kermit: Thank you.
Trident: Trident.
Kermit: Trident.
(They started to leave the palace)
Clamina: So, um, I'm a Frost Princess.
Kermit: Oh. I'm a Muppet Frog. I…
Clamina: Sing "Rainbow Connection."
Kermit: Yep. I even made this coat.
Clamina: Oh, I like it.
Kermit: Thanks.
CLAMINA: You're welcome.
Trident: (CHUCKLES) Sisters.
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. It seemed even more spectacular to Kermit now that his sister was showing him around. They went to see Pixie Dust Well at the University of Winter where Clamina is taught by Professor Wave)
Clamina: It's amazing. The pixie dust travels all the way from IGP Inc. Kind of like you did.
(Then they visited the icicles)
Kermit: Melinda and I help us out for the intergalactic basketball game against the MonStars from Moron Mountain!
Clamina: Is she your girlfriend?
Kermit: Uh…
(They came to the ice skating area)
Clamina: So Tex Richman is an evil oil baron?
Kermit: Yeah. He even plan to tear down a theater. That's how I met him. You see, me and Walter…
(He slipped on the ice and he and Clamina laughed)
(INT. BEDROOM, CASTLE – DAY. Clamina showed Kermit her room, and opened a drawer full of lost objects that she had collected. Kermit pulled a skate from the treasures)
Kermit: You collect lost things, too?
Clamina: I call it them found things.
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. The two sisters went ice skating. Kermit wasn't very steady on his feet, but Clamina was patient and helped her sister glide across the pond. Later, they tried snowboarding…and wound up landing in a heap among the trees)
McClain Sisters: (SINGING) I never knew I lost you till I found you
And you'd never guess how close you are to me
Now I want to throw my arms around you
Tell a thousand tales that will astound you
Everything about you tells me this was meant to be
(When the two citizens grew tired, they sat on a branch to rest. Down below, a snowflake citizen was busy twirling a handful of snow high in the air as if it were a pizza. Then he expertly poked out a pattern in the frosty crystal. Each flake she made floated gently past Kermit and Clamina, and no two were alike. Kermit sighed. This was the best day ever!)
McClain Sisters: Don't you see? I'm on your side
Let's take this ride
And together we're facing the world
Doing things nobody's done before
And the great divide
Doesn't seem so wide
Anymore
(EXT. FROST FOREST, THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. Clamina took Kermit to see Grotto and Sea Salt, now 21)
Clamina: This is the Frost Forest.
KERMIT: Wow.
Clamina: That's Grotto.
(She pointed to a citizen a short distance away. The two sisters didn't want to get caught, so they were hiding behind a snowy branch where the other citizens couldn't see them)
Grotto: Come on, Sea Salt. Practice.
Sea Salt: Okay, okay. Practicing.
Clamina: And that's Sea Salt. She's a bit…
(Just then, Kermit slipped and fell onto a snowdrift below. Clamina flew to catch him, and they both wound up sliding right into Grotto and Sea Salt's arms!)
Clamina: Hi.
Sea Salt: Sisters?
Grotto: Well, I think it's fantastic! Wow, you two look exactly alike! I mean, expect for your clothes and your hair and Clami's a bit creamier. But your noses are very similar.
SEA SALT: Forget their noses. He's a Warm Citizen. In winter!
Grotto: (GASPS) You're right. We got to show him around! Oh, oh, oh! Let's take him ice-sliding! Come on, Sea Salt!
Clamina: You are going to love this!
Kermit: It sounds fun.
Sea Salt: Yeah. Great idea. Push the Warm Citizen down a hill of ice. Okay, well, wait for me, you guys.
(Soon, all four citizens were teetering at the top of a high frozen waterfall aboard a toboggan)
McClain Sisters: (SINGING) And if you'll be there beside me when I falter
Then whatever comes I know we'll take it all in stride
Clamina: Ready, set, slide!
(Kermit shrieked in delight as they went racing down the icy hill. He couldn't remember ever having this much fun in his life)
McClain Sisters: I'm on your side
I'm on your side
Let's take this ride
And together we're facing the world
Doing things nobody's done before
And the great divide
Doesn't seem so wide
Anymore
(INT. PENTHOUSE, TOUR TRAIN – DAY. As the train pulled away from the Berlin station station en route, Dominic read the newspaper)
DOMINIC: Look at that. "Muppets sell out in Berlin." Five stars!
(The Muppets (Walter, Animal, Fozzie, Floyd, Miss Piggy, Janice, Zoot, Rowlf, Link Hogthrob, Gonzo, Scooter) all cheered)
Constantine: Kermit the Frog is liking this news.
(INT. INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL PAVILION INC. – DAY. Beauregard peeks out the engine car)
Beauregard: Choo-choo, yeah! (CHUCKLES) Ooh, tunnel.
(He gets hit by a sign, a sack, and a pigeon)
(INT. ENGINE CAR – DAY. Meanwhile, the crooks hid in a car on the Muppet train. Constantine removed the painting of Colonel Thomas Blood from his bag and turned it over. It was blank)
CONSTANTINE: (GROANS) It's not there. You were wrong!
Dominic: Not so fast. Oldest trick in the book.
(He pulled an iron from his bag. Once hot, he ironed the back of the painting. An ancient-looking map slowly appeared)
Dominic: Write it in lemon juice, then simply apply heat to reveal Colonel Blood's map.
(Sure enough, the map was entitled "How to Steal the Crown Jewels of England. Secret Tunnels of the Tower of London, drawn by Thomas Blood, Colonel 1670." Underneath the diagram, a set of symbols read: KEY + LOCKET + JEWELS)
(Thomas Blood nearly stole the Crown Jewels. His second-in-command, Godfrey the Unknown, betrayed him)
Constantine: Mmm…
Dominic: Of course, today, the Crown Jewels lie behind the most location security system in the world's fair. And this map, along with Blood's key and locket, is the only way to get close to them.
Constantine: Good work, Number Two. What does it say about location of Blood's key?
Dominic: Right. Something, something. "Finest wooden teeth."
Constantine: That is not helpful.
(He scanned the page and found something)
Dominic: Wait. There's the name of a city here. Madrid.
(As soon as he was able, he booked the next one on the Muppet tour–in Madrid, Spain–and made the announcement to the group)
(EXT. A SMALL BUILDING AND STABLE – NIGHT. Kermit and Clamina shuffle up to the building, his coat frozen stiff. Clamina shakes the snow off a sign and reads:)
Clamina: "Wandering Oaken's Trading Post".
(Snow drops off a smaller sign. She reads it, happily)
Clamina: Ooh. "And Sauna"!
(INT. WANDERING OAKEN'S TRADING POST & SAUNA – NIGHT. Kermit and Clamina step cautiously through the door--which hits their frozen backs and knocks them into the center of the shop. They look around, sees only summer supplies)
OAKEN: Yoo-hoo.
(Kermit and Clamina turn to see a bright-faced fellow sitting low behind the counter, fingers tapping tip to tip)
Oaken: Big summer blowout. Half off swimming suits, clogs, and a sun balm of my own invention, yah?
Clamina: Oh. Great. For now, um, how about boots? Winter boots and dresses?
Oaken: (slight disappointment) That would be in our winter department.
(The winter department contains one outfit, a pick ax, and a lonely pair of boots)
Kermit: Oh. Um… I was just wondering. Has another young winter citizen. Her friends perhaps, I don't know, passed through here?
(He brings the clothes and boots to the counter)
Oaken: Only one crazy enough to be out in this storm is you, dear.
(The front door suddenly blows open and in walks a mass of a gramma fish covered in ice. Underneath is CHLORINE)
Oaken: You and two fellows. Yoo-hoo. Big summer blowout.
(Chlorine walks right up to Kermit and Clamina)
CHLORINE: Carrots.
Clamina: Huh?
Chlorine: Behind you.
Clamina: Oh! Right. Excuse me.
(Clamina moves out of Chlorine's way. He grabs a bunch of carrots, tosses them on the counter, then moves through the place, gathering other supplies)
Oaken: (to Chlorine) A real howler in July, yes? Wherever could it be coming from?
CHLORINE: The Tower of London.
Kermit: (to himself) London.
(Chlorine brings his supplies to the counter. Oaken counts on his fingertips)
Oaken: That'll be 40.
Chlorine: Forty? No, 10.
Oaken: (sweet as pie) Oh, dear, that's no good. See these are from our winter stock, where supply and demand have a big problem.
Chlorine: You want to talk about a supply and demand problem? I sell ice for a living.
(Chlorine motions out the window, where we see the blocks of ice on his sled, covered in snow)
Clamina: Ooh. That's a rough business to be in right now. (CHUCKLES) I mean, that is really… (he shoots her a look) (CLEARS THROAT) That's unfortunate.
Oaken: Still 40. But I will throw in a visit to Oaken's sauna. Yoo-hoo! Hi, family.
(Chlorine, Kermit, and Clamina turn to see a naked family waving through the window of the steaming sauna)
Naked Family: Yoo-hoo!
Chlorine: Ten is all I got. Help me out.
Oaken: Okay. (isolating the carrots) Ten will get you this and no more.
(Chlorine seethes. Stalemate)
Kermit: Okay, just tell me one thing. What was happening in London? Did it seem magical?
(Chlorine pulls down his scarf and gives Kermit a firm answer)
Chlorine: (EXHALES) Yes! Now, back up while I deal with this crook here.
(Oaken stands up, revealing his seven-foot stature)
Oaken: What did you call me?
(EXT. WANDERING OAKEN'S TRADING POST AND SAUNA – NIGHT. Oaken stomps out the door, carrying Chlorine with one arm)
CHLORINE: Okay, okay, I'm out. Whoa!
(Oaken throws Chlorine, who face-plants in the snow)
Oaken: Bye bye.
(Oaken slams the door. Chlorine sits up. His reindeer, Sven, canters over)
Chlorine: No, Sven, I didn't get your carrots.
(Sven huffs in his face. Chlorine turns away and sees something. He points to a dilapidated barn)
Chlorine: But I did find us a place to sleep. And it's free.
(INT. WANDERING OAKEN'S TRADING POST AND SAUNA – NIGHT. Kermit and Clamina stand watching Oaken and all his great height as he squeezes behind the counter and sits down low again)
Oaken: (teddy bear) I'm sorry about this violence. I will add a quart of lutefisk, so we'll have good feelings. Just the outfit and boots, yah?
Both: Uh…
(Kermit and Clamina look between Chlorine's supplies and the door)
(INT. OAKEN'S STABLE – NIGHT. Chlorine relaxes on a bed of hay, playing his lute and singing to (and for) Sven)
Chlorine: (SINGING) Reindeers are better than people
Sven, don't you think that's true?
(throwing his voice) (as Sven) "Yeah, people will beat you and curse you and cheat you"
"Every one of them's bad, except you"
Oh, thanks, buddy.
But people smell better than reindeers
Sven, don't you think I'm right?
(as Sven) "That's once again true, for all except you"
You got me. Let's call it a night
(as Sven) "Good night"
Don't let the frostbite bite
(The door opens. Kermit and Clamina enter)
Clamina: Nice duet.
(Chlorine sits up with a start…sees who it is)
Chlorine: (SIGHS) It's just both of you. What do you want?
Kermit: I want you to take us up London.
Chlorine: I don't take people places.
(He lays back down, closes his eyes)
Kermit: Let me rephrase that.
(A sack of supplies lands in Chlorine's lap)
Chlorine: (GROANS) Hey.
(He sits up. Looks in the bag)
Kermit: Take us up London. Please.
(He eyes them. He clearly doesn't take orders)
Clamina: Look, I know how to unlock this secret.
(He considers, lies back down, pulls his hat over his eyes)
Chlorine: We leave at dawn. And you forgot the carrots for Sven.
(A bag of carrots hits Chlorine in the face)
Chlorine: (GRUNTS)
Clamina: Oops, sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't… (CLEARS THROAT) (catching herself) We leave now. Right now.
(She steps back outside and waits, anxiously. Annoyed, Chlorine offers Sven a carrot. Sven has a bite. Then Chlorine has a bite, contemplating)
(EXT. MOUNTAIN HIGH, THE WINTER WOODS – NIGHT. Sven races, top speed, up a narrow cliff, pulling the sled, which skids precariously. Chlorine mans the reins. Clamina and Kermit sit beside him)
Chlorine: (trying to scare Clamina) Hang on! We like to go fast.
Clamina: (fearless) I like fast.
(Clamina leans back and puts her feet up on the dashboard)
Chlorine: Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa… Get your feet down.
(He pushes her feet down)
Chlorine: This is fresh lacquer. Seriously, were you raised in a barn?
(Chlorine spits on the dash to clean it. The spit flies back and hits Clamina in the face)
Clamina: (grossed out) Ugh! No, I was raised in a castle.
(She wipes off her face)
Kermit: And I was raised in the swamp at Los Angeles.
Clamina: Hmm.
CHLORINE: So, uh, tell me, what made the evil frog go all criminal-crazy?
Kermit: Oh. Well… It was all my fault. I was helping the mammals cross, but then he freaked out, because I'd only just met him, you know, that day. And Scooter said I wouldn't cross the border, and…
Chlorine: Wait. You help them cross the border with someone you just met that day?
Kermit: Yeah. Anyway, my wings sparkle, and so the evil frog pushed me, and then Scooter tried to pull back into Berlin, and my wings are freezing…
Chlorine: Hang on! You mean to tell me you help them cross the border with someone you just met that day?
Clamina: Yes. Pay attention. But the thing is, he wore the mole all the time, so I just thought, maybe she has a thing about dirt.
Chlorine: Didn't your parents ever warn you about strangers?
(Kermit eyes Chlorine up and down, then slides)
Kermit: Yes, they did. But Constantine is not a stranger.
Chlorine: Oh, yeah? What's his last name?
Kermit: (SCOFFS) "The World's Most Dangerous Frog."
Chlorine: What's his favorite food?
Kermit: Goulash.
Chlorine: Best friend's name?
Clamina: Probably John.
Chlorine: Eye color?
Kermit: Evilly.
Chlorine: Foot size?
Clamina: Foot size doesn't matter.
Chlorine: Have you had a meal with him yet? What if you hate the way he eats? What if you hate the way he picks his nose?
Clamina: Picks his nose?
Chlorine: And eats it.
Kermit: Excuse me, sir. He is a number one criminal.
Chlorine: All men do it.
Clamina: Ew. Look, it doesn't matter. It's true enemy.
Chlorine: It doesn't sound like true love.
Clamina: (SCOFFS) Are you some sort of love expert?
Chlorine: No. But, uh, I have friends who are.
Kermit: You have friends who are love experts? I'm not buying it.
(Sven suddenly stops, ears perked in alarm)
Chlorine: (to Kermit and Clamina) Stop talking.
Kermit: No, no, no. No, no. I'd like to meet these…
(Chlorine clamps his hand over Kermit's mouth)
Chlorine: No, I mean it.
(Chlorine stands, looks into the dark woods surrounding them. Sensing them behind them, he holds up his lantern. Its light reflects off…EYES. Several)
Chlorine: Sven, go. Go!
(Sven takes off)
Clamina: What are they?
Chlorine: Wolves.
(Flashes of white dark through the woods. Chlorine hops into the sled, grabs a torch. Lights it)
Kermit: Wolves? What do we do?
Chlorine: I got this. You just… Don't fall off, and don't get eaten.
Clamina: But I want to help!
Chlorine: No.
Kermit: Why not?
Chlorine: Because I don't trust your judgment.
Clamina: Excuse me?
Chlorine: Who made the frog cross the border?
(Kermit grabs the lute, swings it right at Chlorine's head)
Kermit: It's true enemy!
(He screams, as he…BAM!…swings past Chlorine and knocks a wolf away)
Chlorine: (shocked) Whoa!
(Just then, Chlorine is yanked off the sled by another wolf. The torch goes flying. Clamina catches it, shocked)
Clamina: Christopher!
(Chlorine grabs onto a loose rope hanging from the back of the sled and holds on for dear life as he's dragged behind)
Chlorine: It's "Chlorine"!
(A wolf jumps on Chlorine's back)
Chlorine: Ow! (YELPS)
(Kermit thinks fast, uses the torch to light a blanket on fire)
Kermit: Duck!
(Kermit throws the flaming blanket right at him. He ducks. The blanket hits the wolves. They tumble off Chlorine)
Chlorine: You almost set me on fire!
(Clamina reaches out a hand, pulls Chlorine back onto the sled)
Clamina: But I didn't.
(Sven cried out. There is a massive gorge ahead)
Kermit: Get ready to jump, Sven!
Chlorine: You don't tell him what to do.
(Chlorine shoves a satchel into Kermit and Clamina's arms then scoops them up)
Chlorine: I do!
(Chlorine tosses Kermit and Clamina onto Sven, then unhooks Sven's harness from the sled)
Chlorine: Jump, Sven!
(Sven jumps the gorge with Kermit and Clamina on his back)
(Chlorine goes flying off behind them, still on the sled)
(Kermit, Clamina, and Chlorine land safely on the other side of the gorge)
(Chlorine's sled loses momentum. It's not going to make it. He leaps off. He flaps his fins, claws at the air)
(He slams into the snowy edge of the cliff. Hanging by his hands, he looks down to see his sled hit the ground far below and burst into flames)
Chlorine: (shocked sadness) But I just paid it off.
(Suddenly, he starts to slip. He claws at the loose snow, but it's clearly hopeless. He's going down)
Chlorine: Uh-oh. No. No. No!
(To make matters worse, an AXE comes flying right at his face)
Chlorine: Ah! No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
(The axe slams into the snow, inches from his nose)
CLAMINA: Grab on!
(Chlorine grabs on)
Kermit: Pull, Sven. Pull!
(REVEAL: The axe is tied to a rope, then wrapped around Sven. Clamina and Kermit help Sven pull Chlorine to safety)
(Chlorine rolls onto his back, exhausted. Clamina peeks down at the burning sled)
Kermit: Whoa.
(CHLORINE GROANS)
Clamina: I'll replace your sled, and everything in it.
Kermit: And I understand if you don't want to help me anymore.
(Kermit and Clamina walk off, sadly. Sven comes over and nuzzles Chlorine)
Chlorine: Of course I don't want to help them anymore. In fact, this whole thing has ruined me for helping anyone ever again.
CLAMINA: It's this way?
Chlorine: (as Sven) "She'll die on her own." I can live with that.
(Through their conversation, they watch Kermit and Clamina go the wrong way…turn, go the other wrong way, turn, trip…)
CLAMINA: Here we go.
Chlorine: (as Sven) "But you won't get your new sled if she's dead."
CLAMINA: I think, actually, it's up.
Chlorine: (knowing he's got a point) Sometimes, I really don't like you.
(Sven licks Chlorine happily)
Chlorine: (to Kermit and Clamina) Hold up! We're coming.
Clamina: (excited) You are? I mean, sure. I'll let you tag along. (CHUCKLES)
(INT. OFFICE, TOUR TRAIN – NIGHT. Dominic and Constantine figured out their next step)
(Dominic read from the back of the painting)
DOMINIC: Okay. It seems that Blood's key is hidden in a marble bust of his accomplice, Godfrey the Unknown, which is kept in the Statue Room at the Prado Museum.
CONSTANTINE: Perfect. We break in, steal the bust, destroy it and grab key.
(Dominic shook his head)
Dominic: Yeah, it's not that simple. You see, no one knows what Godfrey the Unknown looked like.
Constantine: (LAUGHS) Of course not. He was second in command, so no one cared.
(Dominic, being second-in-command himself, didn't like the sound of that)
Dominic: And there's 250 statues in that room.
Constantine: That may be problem. Let me think, Number Two. (BREATHES DEEPLY) Hmm…
(Just then, Miss Piggy and Foo Foo interrupted)
Miss Piggy: Excusez-moi, Kermie. Do you have a moment?
(Constantine just stared out the window, thinking)
Dominic: Kermit.
(Miss Piggy began)
Miss Piggy: I just wanted to say that I accept your apology and I'm ready to put our little disagreement or whatever it was, behind us. And, perhaps, I was a little too eager about the wedding. So for the next few weeks, maybe we should just…
Constantine: Pig, I have question. Am I wearing sign that says "Bother Me"?
(In shock, Miss Piggy burst into tears and slammed the door on her way out)
Dominic: What was that? What was that?
Constantine: Uh… I was in the middle of evilly plotting. I do not like to be interrupted while evilly plotting.
(Dominic sighed)
Dominic: If we're to get away with this, you've got to keep up appearances.
Constantine: I am keeping up appearances.
Dominic: If you want the Crown Jewels, stick to the plan. Do whatever the pig wants. Keep her happy. Whatever she asks of you.
Constantine: I'm not worried. What can she do?
(The door flew open. Miss Piggy stood there, and she was fuming)
Miss Piggy: Okay, buster. You've gone too far this time. I was trying to make nice, and you threw it right back in my face. I quit!
(When Constantine saw that many of the Muppets were watching, he realized that Dominic was right. He had to keep the pig happy. He decided it was time for Phase Two: Romance)
(INT. MISS PIGGY'S ROOM, TOUR TRAIN – NIGHT. Miss Piggy was packing)
Miss Piggy: Stupid frog! Stupid train!
(Constantine walked in)
Miss Piggy: I don't want to talk to you, Kermit. I said, I want you out!
(Constantine stepped forward anyway)
Constantine: I don't think you know what you want.
Miss Piggy: Yeah, I do. I just told you, I…
Constantine: Shh. You're my lady and I'm your man, baby. And that's why, if you stick with me, I'll make your dreams come true. I can give you what you want. Hmm?
(And with that, Constantine won her over. Too bad she didn't know it wasn't the real Kermit the Frog)
Constantine: (SINGING) Baby, stop right there
Let me clear the air
Baby, look into these eyes
Let me apologize
I know what you're thinking of
You're thinking where's the love

(Mayhem was brewing among the Muppets (Penguin, Link Hogthrob, Gonzo, Janice, Floyd, Walter, Scooter, Fozzie) (and not the Electric kind!))
Miss Piggy: Kermie. You are what I've always wanted.
(All the Muppets kept asking Scooter what the set list was going to be for tomorrow's show. But he didn't know. So finally, he asked Constantine)
Scooter: Uh, excuse us.
Constantine: Hmm?
Scooter: But we are all wondering, what's the set list for tomorrow, chief?
Constantine: I don't care. Do whatever you want.
MISS PIGGY: What?
Scooter: Wait. What?
FLOYD: Is he serious?
Walter: That's not what…
(Gonzo's eyes grew large)
Gonzo: Uh, Kermit, could I do indoor running of the bulls?
Constantine: Sure, Zongo. Who cares?
Gonzo: Wow! Thank you, Kermit!
(Miss Piggy put her hands on her hips)
Miss Piggy: Kermie, if he can do his thing, why can't I sing my five songs?
Constantine: Well… You can. Who cares?
Miss Piggy: Oh! Really?
(Scooter interrupted)
Scooter: We don't have time for all this stuff. We're up to a three-hour show, Kermit.
Constantine: You are forgetting one thing, small man with glasses. I can give you what you want.
Floyd: All right!
Scooter: Okay. Indoor running of the bulls.
(The Muppets were happy with the new show idea and ran off to get ready)
Walter: Won't the show be terrible? Uh… Guys?
(But they didn't answer)
Walter: (SIGHS) I'm so confused.
(INT. ICE CAVE – NIGHT. As the stars twinkled overhead and the Northern Lights are bright, Clamina and Kermit sat by a small campfire on the ice crest in front of the ice cave)
KERMIT: Um… I know. Favorite star?
CLAMINA: Second Star…
Both: To the right.
Clamina: Okay. Favorite drink?
Kermit: Hot chamomile tea.
Clamina: Iced chamomile tea!
(He and his sister had so much in common!)
Kermit: Okay, my turn. How about favorite bug?
Clamina: Bug? It's too cold for bugs over here, but in one of Trident's books, I read about butterflies.
Kermit: Oh, in Dublin, there are hundreds of them. It's in summer. It's right over…
(He looked out toward where he thought the center of the pavilion world's fair would be. He scanned the horizon, but all he could see was the frozen land of winter)
Kermit: Um…Hmm. I guess you can't see it from here.
Clamina: (SIGHS) No. You can't. What's it like over there?
Kermit: Warm.
Clamina: And the colors? The sounds? All the mammals? And the fish! It floats in melted ice, right?
Kermit: Water.
Clamina: (SIGHS) I wish… I wish I could go there.
(The two citizens sat side by side, watching the night sky. Then Kermit looked at the campfire that was keeping him comfortably warm. It gave him an idea)
Kermit: Clami?
Clamina: Yeah?
Kermit: I made it warm over here. Maybe I could make it colder over there.
Clamina: Are you… (GASPS) are you saying I could cross?
(The winter princess' heart leapt. Crossing the border was something she had never thought was possible)
Kermit: Yeah!
Clamina: Oh, Kermit. You could show me your world. I could meet your friends. Do you think I could see a butterfly?
Kermit: There's a pretty good chance.
Clamina: Oh!
(His mind was racing with ideas about how he could bring Clamina over to the dry land. This would be his biggest inventing challenge yet!)
(The door opens and Chlorine flipped the off switch)
Chlorine: Lights out.
Kermit: Boy, I sure wish my friends could see me now.
(EXT. SMALL TOWN OF SANTA ACAPULCO, SPAIN – DAY. A quaint Spanish piazza. A pristine FOUNTAIN, looms in our view)
(Pepé and Rizzo walk into view)
PEPE: Rizzo, your eyes do not deceive you. We are in Spain. We are home.
(The Muppets (Penguin, Link Hogthrob, Gonzo, Janice, Floyd, Walter, Scooter, Fozzie, Miss Piggy) exit a tour train)
Floyd: Hey, Pepé. Which way to the hotel, man?
Pepé: What? No friend of mine will stay in a hotel in my village, okay. You will stay with my… Uncle Caballero-o-o!
(UNCLE CABALLERO steps forward)
Uncle Caballero: Pepé! Rizzo! (SPEAKS SPANISH)
(He greets them warmly with affectionate Spanish salutations as word of Pepé and Rizzo's arrival spreads. The square FILLS with family and friends)
(EXT. PIAZZA – DAY. A festive homecoming party. Lights strung across the square. Music and dancing. Dr. Teeth and Floyd are at a dining table)
Dr. Teeth: How do they do it? These are the same ingredients as back home, but it tastes so good.
Floyd: It's organic, man.
Dr. Teeth: Treehugger.
(MISS PIGGY steps along the periphery of the square, seems lost in thought)
UNCLE CABALLERO: Hey, Miss Pig.
(Uncle Caballero beckons Miss Piggy over)
Uncle Caballero: You look so down, so low. Is like you have sore slippers.
(MAMA CABALLERO, a hefty Spanish grandmother pips up)
Mama Caballero: (SPEAKS SPANISH)
(A mile a minute then walks off, now a citizen on a mission)
Uncle Caballero: She said you look like you are starving, that she's gonna make you a big meal and fatten you up.
Miss Piggy: Oh, no. Mama Caballero, please, you don't need to make a fuss.
(Too late. She's disappeared inside her kitchen)
Uncle Caballero: Entiendo. I understand. Is a problem, yes, between you and a friend?
Miss Piggy: How did you know that?
Uncle Caballero: A wise citizen hears one word and understands two.
(Miss Piggy takes this in, impressed)
Uncle Caballero: That, and Pepé told me. While Mama cooks, come and take a stroll with me.
(They amble forward, Uncle Caballero setting the pace)
Miss Piggy: I brought my Kermie along the trip and I told him I need to act different, that we weren't in Disneyland Resort.
Uncle Caballero: This Kermit is a close friend?
Miss Piggy: He's my boyfriend.
Uncle Caballero: Then why would you ask him to be someone else?
(Miss Piggy considers this - a realization)
Miss Piggy: What did I do? I said some things during our fight.
Uncle Caballero: You know, back when Rizzo and Pepé used to work for me, they would fight over everything.
(IN THE SQUARE – Rizzo dances with a boyfriend. Pepé suddenly CUTS IN. They begin to ARGUE)
Uncle Caballero: They fight over what amigo was the best amigo, which one of them looked more like an amigo. There were even some non-amigo fights.
(Rizzo now LIFTS Pepé, cuts BACK in)
Uncle Caballero: So I tell them, "es bueno, it's OK to fight. Everybody fights now and then, especially best friends."
(Miss Piggy takes this in. Seems to take some small comfort)
Uncle Caballero: "But you got to make up fast."
(Miss Piggy's comfort quickly evaporates)
Uncle Caballero: "No fight more important than friendship."
(Rizzo and Pepé now dance together with the girl and her friend who has just arrived. All having a great time. They dance past us, crossing in front of MISS PIGGY AND UNCLE CABALLERO. We STAY WITH them)
Uncle Caballero: (SPEAKS SPANISH)
Miss Piggy: What does that mean?
Mama Caballero: (arriving) Whoever find a friend, find a treasure.
(Mama Caballero drops a tray of food in front of Miss Piggy)
Mama Caballero: Now, comer. Eat!
(ON MISS PIGGY, distant, taking all of this in, lost in thought as, in the background, Uncle Caballero and Mama Caballero talk, then argue, then make up (all in Spanish) all while we stay on Miss Piggy's pensive face---)
(EXT. GLACIER, THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. Using their claws as ice picks, the SCRAT scaled the glacier. He stabbed the tip of the overhang with his teeth. He gets his tongue stuck before he could fall. He uses his long tongue to swing to the ice wall and gets free by pulling out his long tongue. Scrat found his acorn embedded in a wall of ice. He hoisted himself up on top of the glacier to eventually reach the acorn. But it was stuck as it was also in the ice wall. Scrat, with much effort, then pulled the gun loose from the ice. Pop! At that moment, however, a faint rumbling sounded from behind the ice and a small trickle of water squirted in Scrat's face The squirrel blocked it with his hand. Three more trickles of water all squirted out and Scrat blocks them all with each of his other limbs)
(Crrrrrraaaaaaaaakkkkkk! Pop! One trickle popped through the ice and Scrat, having no other choice, plugged the hole with his snout. But this caused the trickle to fill him up with water like a water balloon)
(Psssssshhh!!! Scrat was propelled back by the water still in his body away from the ice wall with his acorn)
(Scrat then falls down the ice wall…)
(EXT. ICE – DAY. …crashing into several pieces of ice on the way until they hit one smooth section of ice. Scrat picked himself up. Abruptly, they heard a young voice calling out and the squirrel was swept aside by a young shovelmouth, who was sliding down the ice as a slide while Scrat tried to move out of the slide's path. All of them shot out of the slide into…)
(EXT. GLACIER FOUNTAIN, THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. The vast water park. The warm sun glinted on the sheer white sides of the glacier as pretty blue waterfalls trickled down the side of them. In the water park below, a boisterous group of baby creatures splashed happily in the little pools. Every summer, the creatures flocked to this sparkling valley, The glacier's slopes and fissures made the best waterslides for miles around)
Mr. Tapir: Oy, this global warming is killing me.
Mrs. Tapir: This is too hot. The Winter Woods was too cold. What would it take to make you happy?
(The ice broke and the tapir fell in)
Mr. Tapir: This I like.
(Two rambunctious kids chased each other across the beach and trampled a little beaver's sand castle under their feet. The little beaver wailed)
(Kermit noticed that one of the prettiest girls in the Winter Woods was looking in his direction. Trying to act the part of a real lifeguard, he raised his shell whistle to his lips and blew)
Kermit: No running, Pitchers. Camp rules.
Pitchers: Make me, frog!
(The hefty aardvark kid ran right past Kermit at top speed and did a cannonball into the kiddie pool. Kermit glanced at the pretty girl)
Kermit: "Make me, sir!" It's all about respect.
(She rolled her eyes scornfully as she strode away)
(Completely out of control, Kermit barked out orders)
Kermit: Jared, you just ate. Wait an hour. Hector, no, no. You can't pee-pee there. Okay. There is fine. Ashley, stop picking your… (YELLS)
(A bunch of kids grabbed him by the feet, and before he knew it he was dangling upside down from a branch)
Kid 1: Piñata!
(Someone whacked him with a big stick)
Kermit: Stop! You're supposed to wear blindfolds.
Ashley: Okay. You're in no position to make the rules.
Pitchers: Hey, it's my turn to hit the frog!
Ashley: Mine!
Pitchers: Mine! Mine!
Ashley: Mine!
(They fight over who would be next to swing. Whack! Whack! Whack!)
Kermit: Whoahhhhhhhhhhh!
(He fell to the ground with a thud)
Ashley: Hey! You didn't have any candy in you.
Kermit: Not even a little.
Shovelmouth Boy: Let's bury him.
(A few husky glyptodon kids dug a hole in the ground, while the others dragged Kermit toward it)
(Boing! Boing! Boing! The kids stamped the dirt down around his body and bounced on his head)
Kermit: Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
(Suddenly, Pitchers had another idea)
Pitchers: Fire ants!
(ALL CHEERING)
(But a female voice interrupted their wild cheers)
CLAMINA: What's going on here?
(The kids froze in their tracks)
CHLORINE: And how can we make it more painful?
(Putting on their most wide-eyed, innocent-looking faces, the kids stared up at the two imposing citizens who had just arrived. It was Clamina and Chlorine)
Clamina: Who said you kids could torture my sister?
Chlorine: Clami, don't squash their creativity.
Kermit: Hey, Clami! Chlorine! My bad citizen jettisons! Want to give a frog a hand?
(Clamina used her ice powers to pull Kermit out of the hole)
Kermit: Look, I opened my camp. (brushing the dirt off his skin) Campo del Kermit. It means "Camp of Kermit."
Chlorine: Congratulations. You're now an idiot in two languages.
Kermit: Shh. Not in front of the K-I-D-Z. These little guys love me. Right, Billy?
Billy: Don't make me eat you.
Kermit: Ah, they kid. That's why they're called "kids."
Clamina: I told you, Kermit, you're not qualified to run a summer camp.
Kermit: Oh, since when do qualifications have anything to do with child care? Besides, these kids look up to me. I'm a role model to them.
(As he was saying this, two kids wrapped vines around his legs and pushed him over)
Chlorine: I can see that.
Kermit: You guys never think I can do anything, but I'm an equal member of this team. I made this team, so you need to start treating me with some respect.
(Kermit hopped away with his legs still tied together)
(Clamina and Chlorine glanced over their shoulders at the mischievous crowd of youngsters)
Clamina: Come on, Kermit!
Chlorine: Kermit! We were just kiddin'.
ASHLEY: Hey! Let's play Pin the Tail on the Princess. Yeah!
(Yikes! Clamina and Chlorine exchanged a worried look)
Both: Kermit!
(But Kermit was already halfway across Glacier Fountain. He had wiggled his way out of the ropes and was storming off bravely toward the highest, twistiest, most treacherous water slide in the Winter Woods)
Kermit: I can do stuff. (GRUNTS) Won't give me no stupid respect. Get the… (GRUNTING) I'll show them.
(By the time Kermit steeled himself for the steep ascent up the glacier, Clamina and Chlorine had finally begun to establish some order at the summer camp)
(Clamina decided to tell the kids a story about a little burro and his mommy. Everyone listened with rapt attention)
CLAMINA: And so, in the end, the little burro reached his mommy, and they lived happily ever after.
(The kids cheered and applauded)
(Chlorine gave Clamina a nod of approval)
Chlorine: Good job.
(But the order didn't last for long. The kids began squirming and raising their hands with questions)
ASHLEY: Question. Why does the burro go home? Why doesn't he stay with the rabbits?
Clamina: Because… Because he wanted to be with his family.
Bird: I think he should go with the girl burro. That's a better love story.
Clamina: Okay. Well, when you tell your burro story, that's what he'll do.
Elk Boy: "Burro" is a demeaning name. Technically it's called a "wild ass."
Clamina: Fine. The wild ass boy came home to his wild ass mother.
(The kids fell over laughing)
Clamina: See, that's why I called it a burro!
Rhino Boy: Could the burro have a grazing problem? That would make him more relatable.
Tapir Kid: Boring!
Billy: It's not believable.
PITCHERS: Do burros eat their young?
Ashley: It's not a very satisfying ending.
Tapir Girl: Sometimes I throw up.
(Clamina was losing patience)
Clamina: "They lived happily ever after." You can't get more satisfying than that. One big, happy family. That's the way it's supposed to be.
(The young bird girl cocked her head and stared at her)
Bird: Then where's your big, happy family?
(The question hit Clamina like a ton of bricks. She stood there speechless, lost in her own sad thoughts)
Chlorine: Then the hungry piranha ate the pesky little kids. (ROARS)
(He came to Clamina's rescue. He made mock lunges at the kids and shooed them away)
Chlorine: You okay, buddy?
Clamina: Sure. Why not?
Chlorine: I just thought you…
Clamina: Story time's over. The end.
(She turned and walked away)
(All Clamina wanted was a little time alone to think. But she and Chlorine were soon distracted by a strange, low rumbling sound in the distance. Before they knew it, hundreds of panicky creatures were packing up their things and hurrying out of Glacier Fountain)
TAPIR BOY 2: Get out of the way!
TAPIR BOY 1: Run for your live!
Clamina: Hey, watch it.
Chlorine: Where's everybody going?
Tapir Boy 1: The world's coming to an end!
Clamina: What are you talking about?
Tapir Boy 2: Fast Tony, he says the world's gonna flood!
(FAST TONY was a shady, fast-talking armadillo. Clamina and Chlorine found Fast Tony giving a sales pitch to a crowd of mammals and winter citizens. At his feet was a pile of useless-looking reeds)
Fast Tony: Folks, I hold in my hand a device so powerful, it can actually pull air right out of the sky. (CHUCKLING) Gather around. Gather around.
(A female aardvark listened attentively)
Fast Tony: Pardon me, do you have gills, ma'am?
Aardvark Mom: Nuh-uh.
Fast Tony: So you can't breathe underwater?
Aardvark Mom: Nuh-uh.
Fast Tony: Aha! My assistant here will demonstrate.
(Fast Tony handed the reed to his lackey, a slow-witted glyptodon named STU)
(Stu stuck the think up his nose)
Stu: Hey, I can smell the ocean.
(Fast Tony grabbed the reed back in annoyance)
Fast Tony: Oh! What are you doing? I can't sell that now. You suck air through your mouth, you moron!
(He shoved the tube in Stu's mouth and dunked his head in a puddle)
(Fast Tony turned back to the crowd and continued his sales pitch)
Fast Tony: (To the crowd) Through its tensile design and sturdy construction, he'll have plenty of air for eons to come! Of course, results may vary.
(Clamina moved in, swooped up the shifty armadillo by her ice powers and dangled him in the air)
Fast Tony: Hey!
Clamina: Why are you scaring everybody with this doomsday stuff?
(Fast Tony gave the audience a sheepish laugh. Then he scowled at Clamina)
Fast Tony: I'm trying to make a living here, pal.
(He rolled himself up into a ball and bounced back to the ground)
Fast Tony: It's all part of my accu-weather forecast. The five-day outlook is calling for intense flooding followed by the end of the world! And a slight chance of patchy sunshine later in the week.
(The crowd were growing more alarmed by the minute)
Clamina: Come on, don't listen to him. Fast Tony would sell his own mother for a grape.
Fast Tony: Are you making an offer? I mean, no, I would not.
Tapir Dad: Haven't you heard? The ice is melting.
Clamina: You see this ground? It's covered in ice. A thousand years ago, it was covered in ice. A thousand years from now, it will still be ice.
(One of the aardvarks stepped up)
AARDVARK DAD: Say, buddy… Not to cast aspersions on your survival instincts or nothin', but haven't Frost Citizens pretty much gone extinct?
Clamina: What are you talking about?
Aardvark Dad: I'm talking about you being the last of your kind.
Clamina: Ah, your breath smells like ants.
(The aardvark smells his mouth to check and cringer in embarrassment. His breath did smell like ants!)
Aardvark Dad: (EXHALES) Whoo! Be that as it may, when's the last time you saw another Frost Citizen?
Chlorine: Ah, don't pay any attention to him, Clami.
Clamina: Frost Citizens can't go extinct. They're the coldest people on Earth.
Diatryma Mom: What about the dinosaurs?
Clamina: The dinosaurs got cocky and made enemies.
(Suddenly, a macrauchenia mammal pointed to the glacier)
MACRAUCHENIA: Look. Some idiot's going down the Eviscerator!
(Everyone looked up at the death-defying glacier)
Clamina: Oh, please tell me it's not our idiot.
FAST TONY: Did he just say Eviscerator?
(High atop the glittering glacier, Kermit was waving his arms)
KERMIT: Okay. I'm gonna jump on the count of three! One, two…
Clamina: Kermit, don't move a muscle! We're coming up!
All: Jump! Jump! Jump!
Chlorine: Jump! Jump! Jump!
(Clamina shot him a look)
Chlorine: Sorry.
(By the time Clamina and Chlorine reached the top, Kermit was standing there, petrified and still counting)
Kermit: Two and 3/1,000th. Two and 4/1,000th…
CLAMINA: Kermit! What are you doing? Get down from there!
Kermit: No way! I'm gonna be the first to jump off the Eviscerator and then you guys are gonna have to start showing me some respect.
Clamina: You jump off this, the only respect you're gonna get is respect for the dead.
Chlorine: Come on, Clami. He's not that stupid.
(Kermit tucked into position for the slide)
Chlorine: But I've been wrong before.
Kermit: Geronimo!
(He plummeted off the edge. Clamina flew over the icy precipice and caught Kermit in midair. Thrown off balance by the catch)
Chlorine: Hey, watch it.
(Clamina teetered and stumbled backwards into Chlorine, sending him sliding across a wet slick of ice. Then Clamina toppled over! Kerplop! Right on top of Kermit!)
KERMIT: (MUFFLED) I can't breathe.
(He poked his head from under Clamina's back)
Kermit: (GRUNTS) I think I just coughed up my spleen.
(As they righted themselves, they realized they had fallen onto a wide frozen lake. And the ice was very thin. As Chlorine paddled back toward them, cracks began to form around his feet wherever he took a step. He could see bubbles moving just under the surface)
(The ice was giving way! He made a desperate dash for safety. As one last crack snapped and boomed behind him, he leaped toward Clamina and attached himself to her dress)
Clamina: Uh, Chlorine? Retract the fins, please.
Chlorine: Oh. Right. Sorry.
(Chlorine is still hyperventilating)
Kermit: If I didn't know you better, Chlorine, I'd think you were afraid of the water.
(Chlorine grabbed Kermit by the throat and eyeballed him threateningly)
Kermit: Okay! Okay! Good thing I know you better.
CLAMINA: Guys. Fast Tony was right. Everything is melting.
(Chlorine hurried to Clamina's side. The princess was gazing out over the wide expanse of ice with a stunned expression on his face. The whole lake had begun to thaw! And the glacier they were standing on was the only thing holding all that water back)
(The three citizens turned and looked out across their land of winter)
Clamina: It's all gonna flood. Come on. We gotta warn them.
(She gazed at the youngsters who had gone back to frolicking in the water park below)
Kermit: Hmm. Maybe we can rapidly evolve into water creatures.
Chlorine: That's genius, Kermit.
Kermit: Call me "Squid."
(As they traversed a narrow bridge of ice, Kermit easily broke off a piece)
Kermit: Eesh! This whole thing's a piece of junk. I can't believe I live here.
(Crrrrraaaaaakkkkk! The ice began to collapse!)
(Clamina and Chlorine shot Kermit an accusing look)
Kermit: What?
(Before they could answer, the whole shelf of ice crumbled beneath them and sent them flying at breakneck speed down the dreaded Eviscerator)
(As they shot down the gorge, Fast Tony continued his sales pitch below)
Fast Tony: Forget reeds! That is so five minutes ago. I present you with this revolutionary gizmo we call bark! It's so buoyant, it actually floats!
Tapir Dad: I'll show you something that floats.
Fast Tony: All right. It's your funeral.
(Kermit, Clamina, and Chlorine skimmed across the surface of a pool like four skipping stones and crashed–Whop! Smash! Kablam!–into Fast Tony's podium)
FAST TONY: Incoming!
(Fast Tony curled up in a ball to protect himself)
(He slowly uncurled after they had settled down)
Fast Tony: You see? This is exactly what I'm talking about! Giant balls of furry lava the size of Frost Citizens raining from the sky!
Shovelmouth Male: Ah, go suck air through a reed!
TAPIR DAD: Hey, Fast Tony! The snakes called. They wanted their oil back.
(Nobody believed Fast Tony anymore! Kermit regretted that he had convinced the citizens they had nothing to fear)
Clamina: We gotta listen to him. He's right about the flood.
Fast Tony: I am? I mean, yes, I am.
Elk Dad: Wait a minute. You're the one who said there wasn't going to be a flood. Why should we listen to you?
Clamina: Because we saw what's up there. The dam's gonna break. The entire world fair's gonna flood.
(The crowd just laughed in his face)
LONE GUNSLINGER VULTURE: Flood's real, all right. And it's comin' fast.
(The crowd looked around to see where the voice was coming from. The source was the LONE GUNSLINGER VULTURE perched in a branch)
Lone Gunslinger Vulture: Look around. You're in a bowl.
(The crowd looked around)
LONE GUNSLINGER VULTURE: Bowl's gonna fill up. Ain't no way out.
(The crowd started to panic. Quiet murmurs could be heard as the mammals and winter citizens turned to one another with fearful eyes)
Doe: (GASPS) What are we gonna do?
(The Lone Gunslinger interrupted the crowd with his assured tone)
LONE GUNSLINGER VULTURE: Unless… You can make it to the Tower of London. There's a boat. It can save you. And it's real. I've seen it myself.
(The crowd breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed. An aardvark dad sat down on a log)
Tapir Dad: I don't see anything.
LONE GUNSLINGER VULTURE: But… Y'all better hurry. World fair's changing into a savage beast. Ground's meltin', walls tumblin', rocks crumblin'. Survive that, and you'll be racing the water 'cause in four days' time, it's gonna hit the geyser fields. Boom!
(The mammals and winter citizens gasped)
LONE GUNSLINGER VULTURE: There is some good news, though.
(The mammals and winter citizens gave the Lone Gunslinger a hopeful look)
Lone Gunslinger Vulture: The more of you die, the better I eat.
(The mammals and winter citizens trembled in fear)
Lone Gunslinger Vulture: I didn't say it was good news for you.
(The Lone Gunslinger flapped his big, ugly wings and took off over the Winter Woods)
Kermit: Ooh. He must have been a pleasure to have in class.
Clamina: All right, you heard the scary vulture. Let's move out.
(Just as the Lone Gunslinger vanished over the horizon, an enormous chunk of the glacier broke off and came rumbling and tumbling down into Glacier Fountain. The mammals and winter citizens fled in terror)
(The giant ice boulder crashed into a deep pool)
Beaver Dad: Dam!
Chlorine: Clami, you really think there's a boat?
Clamina: I don't know, but in a few days this place is gonna be a mile underwater. If there's any hope, it's that way.
(But Clamina thought she could see something strange inside. But the ice was cloudy, and Chlorine hurried her away)
Chlorine: Clami, let's go!
(The three citizens made their way out of the valley, just behind the rest of the winter citizens. Not one of them noticed two huge, mysterious forms thawing out of the ice and slowly coming to life)
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. The fleeing herd of mammals and winter citizens was too busy pushing and shoving, forming a bottleneck in the narrow passage that led out of the park)
(Two vultures hovered overheard like helicopter pilots doing the nightly traffic report)
VULTURE: We got an overturned glyptodon in the far light lane. Traffic backed up as far as the eye can see.
Lone Gunslinger Vulture: Ooh, and it looks like there might be a fatality.
Vulture: (SLURPS)
Lone Gunslinger Vulture: I call the dark meat!
(Forgetting all about the report, they swooped down for the meat)
(The creatures were frantic to escape the flood and avoid the looming vultures)
Diatryma Mom: Come on, everybody. Let's go. Come on. Come, come, come. Get in.
(She herd her baby chicks and ran)
(Nearby, a family of molehogs desperately tried to coax their grandpa out of his hole. The grabbed his tail and pulled)
Molehog Kid 1: Come on, Grandpa. Come on!
Molehog Kid 2: We have to go.
Grandpa: Well, I'm not leavin'! I was born in this hole, and I'll die in this hole!
(A dung beetle family rushed past)
Dung Beetle Dad: (GRUNTING) Do we have to bring this crap? I'm sure there's crap where we're going.
Dung Beetle Mom: Ah! This was a gift from my mother.
(Clamina shook her head in dismay. She tried to get the migration flowing smoothly)
Clamina: Okay. Keep it moving. Keep it moving.
(Kermit trotted up, stuffing berries in his mouth)
Kermit: Clami, Clami! I-I just heard you're going extinct. Mmm!
Clamina: I am not going extinct!
Kermit: Oh, well, if you do go extinct, can I have you spot on the food chain?
(The green skin around his mouth was turning purple from the dripping berry juice)
Chlorine: Hey, if you ever master hygiene, try working on sensitively.
Clamina: What part of not going extinct do you not understand?
Kermit: I'm having trouble with the not part. I think you are, too.
Clamina: I told you, I'm not going extinct!
(Until, the aardvark family appeared in front of Clamina)
Aardvark Dad: Kids, look! A Frost Princess.
Aardvark Kids: Wow!
Aardvark Dad: Well, you probably won't see another one of those again.
(Kermit gestured toward the kids to prove his point)
Kermit: See?
(The aardvark dad glanced at his kids fondly, and then did a double take. Something was amiss! He began counting heads. He counted again)
Aardvark Dad: Okay. One, two, three… Where is Pitchers?
(EXT. GLACIER FOUNTAIN, THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. Pitchers was at the pool where the giant ice boulder had crashed. He was leaning over to take a drink of water when a scary face popped out of the water right in front of him. Pitchers screamed and sped off to catch up with his family. It was the dim-witted Stu, which had been hiding underwater with his reed)
(He laughed and ducked back out of sight underwater. The two huge, sharp-toothed water reptiles moved silently in the water underneath him. Not one of the other citizens noticed when Stu's reed was suddenly yanked down under the surface)
FAST TONY: Stu!
(Fast Tony appeared, looking for his assistant)
Fast Tony: Stu! Come on, Stu! Let's blow this ice cube stand.
(Pftooot! One of the scaly monsters spat Stu's shell out of the water. It landed upside down at Fast Tony's feet and spun around like a trash can cover)
Fast Tony: (SCREAMS) Stu!
(He picked up the shell and wiped away a tear. Then he considered the shell's potenial value. Fast Tony's face brightened)
FAST TONY: Folks! Be the first in the valley to have your very own mobile home!
(He rehearsed his new sales pitch as he jogged back to join the others. Behind him, two water reptiles named CRETACEOUS and MAELSTROM stick their heads out to watch them go and went back underwater. They swim away in a cold water of air)
(Scrat was walking across the frozen lake. He spotted the acorn floating across the water)
(He sticks his teeth through the ice but it didn't work. Scrat growls and stomps in frustration, causing him to fall underwater while the acorn pops out)
(Scrat tries to push the ice, but he went through and underwater again)
(He tries to stop the spinning to get the gun, but it was too strong because of his small weights. The acorn flies out of the ice and slides across the ice. Scrat was underwater. He swam for it, stick his nose out in order to keep the acorn sliding away, but it didn't work anyway. Scrat sticks his head out)
(He uses his teeth to cut the ice round. Scrat gets closer to the acorn, but he falls and the round ice rolls. Scrat uses his teeth to grab for the gun, but due to the round ice plate, he gets himself squished, making the gun fall into the ice floe)
(Scrat moved himself forward but he lost his balance and falls into the ice floe, making the acorn go up onto the ice tower)
(Down underwater, Cretaceous and Maelstrom, two evil sea reptiles see some bubbles in the water and gets an idea)
(EXT. ATOCHA STATION, MADRID, SPAIN – DUSK. The train finally arrived in Madrid)
(INT. DRESSING ROOM, TEATRO COFIDIS, MADRID – NIGHT. Constantine is karate-chopping wood. Scooter poked his head into Constantine's dressing room)
Scooter: Okay, Kermit, five minutes till showtime.
Constantine: (BREATHING DEEPLY)
Scooter: Uh… Kermit? Chief?
(When Scooter gives Constantine a tap on his shoulder, he instinctively grabbed Scooter's arm and flipped him over his shoulder with his best karate move)
Scooter: Whoa! (GROANS)
(Luckily, Dominic was nearby and stepped in to help)
Constantine: Sorry.
(Scooter slowly got up)
Scooter: Oh, uh, no problem, chief. Are you coming?
Constantine: No. I refuse to perform. Do show without me.
Dominic: Sorry, one second. Can I just have a quick word?
CONSTANTINE: No.
DOMINIC: It's just, uh…
Constantine: What?
(He pulled Constantine into the bathroom and shut the door. Scooter could hear the whole conversation)
DOMINIC: Okay, you have to go, Number One.
CONSTANTINE: No, you cannot make me go. You're the one who must go, Number Two.
DOMINIC: I can't go. I don't need to go. You're the one who needs to go, Number One.
CONSTANTINE: I have idea.
Dominic: (O.S.) What?
CONSTANTINE: We will both go together.
DOMINIC: That would look weird. I'm begging you, go. Go, Number One.
(Constantine put his head in his hands)
CONSTANTINE: I cannot. Not after what happened last time.
(He thought of the horrible stage fright he experienced)
(Outside the bathroom door, Scooter shook his head and walked away, thoroughly confused (and perhaps a little grossed out))
(Dominic looked him squarely in the face)
DOMINIC: Look at this. This might help.
(INT. DRESSING ROOM, TEATRO COFIDIS, MADRID – NIGHT. To study Kermit's speech patterns, Constantine sat himself down in front of a TV and watched a VHS tape of the opening to The Muppet Show Episode 323: Lynn Redgrave)
Kermit (On TV): It's The Muppet Show, with our very special quest star, Lynn Redgrave. Yay!
(Constantine hit the STOP button and tried to mimic him)
Constantine: (IMITATING) Yes!
(Next, he flips the channel to the Reporter Kermit from the News Flash sketch: Nursery Rhyme: Little Miss Muffet from Sesame Street Episode 0680)
Kermit (On TV): Oh. Hi-ho! Kermit the Frog, here.
(Constantine hit the STOP button again)
Constantine: Hi-lo. Kermit the Frog here.
(Next, he flips the channel to the "Rainbow Connection" musical number from the 1979 film The Muppet Movie)
Kermit (On TV): (SINGING) The lovers, the dreamers and me
(Constantine hit the STOP button again)
Constantine: The lovers, the dreamers and cheese.
(Constantine had no expression whatsoever and got the words wrong)
Constantine: Nailed it.
(He left the dressing room and headed toward the stage)
(INT. STAGE, TEATRO COFIDIS – DAY. In the wings, Scooter looked on as the Muppets took their positions for the opening number. It was chaos)
Scooter: (covering his eyes) I can't watch!
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your host, Kermit the Frog.
(Nearby, Constantine peeked out at the audience. Suddenly, he started to feel woozy. He tried to snap out of it)
Constantine: (to himself) You are the world's most dangerous frog. Now act like it.
(It worked. He snapped into focus, opened the "O" in the Muppet Show sign and announced the show)
Constantine: It's El Muppet Show, with our very special guest, Salma Hayek. Hey!
(The audience cheered, which made Constantine feel good. The Muppet Show sign raises and the curtains open. Two Mutations, Thog, and Sweetums appeared onstage)
Female Muppets (Afghan Hound, Sheep, Annie Sue, Janice, Bird, Atric Player, Camilla or Chicken, Wanda): Que empiece ya la musica
Que empieze el festival
Ya están aquí los muppets
Este show va a comenzar
Male Muppets (Dr. Julius Strangepork, the Swedish Chef, Lew Zealand, Crazy Harry, Beauregard, J.G., Wayne, Link Hogthrob, Beaker): Ya toca maquillarse
Hay que vestirse bien
Que empiece ya la fiesta
Pepé: ¿Por qué venimos siempre
A este terrible show?
Esto es una tortura
Y a casa yo me voy
Statler: Would you look at that?
Waldorf: No.
Statler: Good idea.
Constantine: Que empiece ya la fiesta
All: Es el más sensacional
Espetacular
Supercolosal
Megapopular
El show de Los Muppets va a empezar
(The Muppet Show sign appears again and Gonzo's trumpet gag consists of the trumpet squirting snow and Gonzo subsequently shooting it towards the audience)
(Constantine came back out onstage)
Constantine: Yes! Hello and welcome to El Muppet Show. Please welcome our opening act, the Great Gonzo and the indoor running of the bulls!
(As the audience clapped, Constantine stood there, enjoying the applause)
Constantine: Yes, yes. I am Kermit. Mm-hmm. Yes.
SCOOTER: Okay, chief. Wrap it up.
Constantine: One minute, please. (to audience) Let me drink it in. Ah…
(INT. BACKSTAGE, TEATRO COFIDIS – NIGHT. Salma Hayek and Gonzo were all dressed up)
Salma Hayek: Gonzo? Gonzo, I don't want to do this.
Gonzo: What? This is gonna be great.
Salma Hayek: Are you sure about this?
Gonzo: Nope. Come on. Let's go.
(INT. BASEMENT, TEATRO COFIDIS – NIGHT. Dominic waited impatiently for Constantine. It was the same plan as before: Go from the theater basement into the museum basement next door)
Dominic: Where have you been?
Constantine: On stage.
Dominic: Why did the…
(Just then, they started to hear the bulls running above them)
(INT. STAGE, TEATRO COFIDIS – NIGHT. The bulls ran around the stage. Gonzo rides on one of the bulls. However, they throws him off them)
(INT. BASEMENT, TEATRO COFIDIS – NIGHT. As the noise level rose, Constantine used dynamite to blow a hole in the wall)
(INT. BACKSTAGE, TEATRO COFIDIS – NIGHT. Gonzo and Salma Hayek ran backstage)
Gonzo: The bulls are out of control! Who could have foreseen this?
Salma Hayek: Me. I did.
(Abruptly, she hear the bulls coming backstage)
Salma Hayek: Here they come again!
(She hurried away as fast as she can)
(INT. PRADO MUSEUM – NIGHT. Soon, Constantine and Dominic were inside the famed Prado museum, searching among 249 busts)
Dominic: Thomas Blood's key is hidden in one of these busts.
Constantine: It's time to get things started.
(INT. STAGE, TEATRO COFIDIS – NIGHT. Scooter walked into the stage)
Scooter: Okay. Sorry about that, folks, but now put your hands together for Miss Piggy. Olé!
(The audience applauded as Miss Piggy appears, vocalizing "Macarena")
Carlo & Manolo Flamingo: Ay! Ay! Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegria cosa buena
Dale a tu cuerpo alegria, Macarena
Hey Macarena
Ay! Ay!
Miss Piggy: (SINGING) Don't you worry about my boyfriend
The boy whose name is Kermitino
(Walter couldn't believe it. Neither did Statler and Waldorf)
Statler: I don't believe it. They've managed the impossible. What an achievement! Bravo! Bravo!
Waldorf: What? You mean you actually like this show now?
Statler: No! They've made the show even worse!
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Statler: Bravo! Bravo!
Waldorf: Amazing!
(INT. PRADO MUSEUM – NIGHT. The smashing began)
DOMINIC: Where is it?
CONSTANTINE: It's got to be here somewhere. Keep smashing, Number Two.
DOMINIC: What do you think I'm doing? I'm smashing.
CONSTANTINE: Where is that key?
(But there was no key. Dominic picked up the last one)
DOMINIC: The last one. It better be in here. This one says "A Man Forgotten by History." And he looks annoyed.
Constantine: He looks a little bit like you, Number Two.
(Dominic lifted up the bust and, with a whole lot of anger, smashed it. Among the debris, he found a large iron key. On it was written COLONEL BLOOD'S KEY)
DOMINIC: Colonel Blood's key.
CONSTANTINE: Nice of him to label it.
Dominic: (reading) "With Colonel Blood's key, the jewels may set you free. But it is Colonel Blood's locket that you will need in your pocket. To capture the jewels."
Constantine: That doesn't even rhyme.
Dominic: He was a thief, not a poet. Give him a break.
Constantine: So, where is the locket?
Dominic: There's more.
(Dominic read the back of Blood's portrait)
Dominic: (reading) "To him that seeks the locket faire look beneath the vaults of eire" Of course. Blood was Irish. And that's where Blood's locket is. In the vaults of the Irish National Bank.
(Constantine's lips twitched into a smile)
Constantine: Then I know where Muppet tour must stop next. Dublin.
(INT. STAGE, TEATRO COFIDIS – NIGHT. The Electric Mayhem (Animal, Floyd, Janice, Zoot, Lips, Dr. Teeth) are in the jam session)
Animal: Drum solo!
(The Electric Mayhem played until the session ended. The audience woke up and cheered)
Dr. Teeth: I knew audiences dug jam sessions.
(Walter watches from backstage)
Walter: A standing ovation?
CONSTANTINE: I am Kermit. I hope you enjoyed my show. I love you, Madrid!
(He moonwalked offstage, and the audience went wild)
(INT. BACKSTAGE, TEATRO COFIDIS – NIGHT. All the Muppets (Fozzie, Foo Foo, Miss Piggy, Scooter, Walter, 80's Robot, Rizzo, Pepé, Janice, Rowlf) were surprised and buoyed by the applause. They were not used to such a great crowd)
Fozzie: Wow, what an audience! Great show, Kermit!
(Fozzie congratulated his friend once they were offstage)
Miss Piggy: They loved me, Kermie! They loved me!
(Walter scratched his head, thinking about the runaway bulls and Miss Piggy's five musical numbers)
WALTER: Guys? I'm not sure that was such a great show.
Janice: Like, what are you talking about? That jam was, like, totally epic.
Dominic: Exactly. And I'm glad to say the Spanish reviewers disagree with you as well, Walter. They loved us. Five out of five jamón serranos.
(Walter couldn't believe it)
Walter: Those reviews really came out fast.
(In his head, he thought it was too fast. Something was fishy)
Pepé: And Citizen Kane only got four jamón serranos.
80'S ROBOT: You know something, Mr. Kermit. Back to the Future got five jamón serranos too.
(Miss Piggy picked up the paper)
Miss Piggy: Oh, Kermie. Look at these reviews. I've never been happier. Thank you, Kermie. Thank you.
(She covered Constantine's face in kisses)
Constantine: I do it all for you, my dear. Because you and me, we are meant to be together forever.
(Before anyone could say another word, Dominic announced)
DOMINIC: And more good news. Pack up, everyone. I've booked our next gig. In Dublin.
(Walter thought that was great news, since it would take some time to travel to Dublin)
Walter: Oh, great! Now we all have time to rehearse.
(He certainly didn't want another show like the one they just had)
Dominic: Rehearse? Let's celebrate.
Rizzo: Yeah!
(Constantine looked at the assembled Muppets)
CONSTANTINE: Yes! You deserve it, comrades! Go do whatever you want.
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – MORNING. All around the Winter Woods, the glacial dams were weakening. Glacier Fountain was already underwater, and throughout the Winter Woods, the ground was becoming soft and mushy. The winter citizens, the creatures, and warm citizens on the other side of the border had to press on toward the boat the Lone Gunslinger had spoken of, trying to avoid the sinkholes and falling debris)
(Kermit serenaded them with his silvery voice)
Kermit: (SINGING) Some day, when you're gonna sing
When you make us sing
Clamina: Shut up, Kermit.
Kermit: Okay.
(Kermit switched to a perkier tune)
Kermit: (SINGING) Stop, hey-hey, what's that sound?
All the citizens are in the ground
Clamina: Stop singing, Kermit!
(Kermit kept pestering her)
Kermit: (SINGING) If your species will continue, clap your hands
(Clap, clap)
If you species will…
Clamina: Kermit, I'm gonna fall on you again, and this time I will kill you.
Kermit: Okay. Someone doesn't like the classics.
(Clamina stopped and gazed at multiple reflections of her face in the dripping icicles on the branches of a tree)
Clamina: What if they're right? What if I am a Frost Princess?
Kermit: But, Clamina, look at the bright side. You have us!
Chlorine: Not your most persuasive argument, Kermit.
(Suddenly, Clamina's ears perked up. Could it be? Was that a familiar sound she heard in the distance?)
(Chlorine and Sven heard it too)
Chlorine: Frost Citizens?
Clamina: I knew he couldn't be the last one! I felt it in my gut!
(She grabbed Kermit, plunked him on her back, and charged through the forest, with Chlorine and Sven galloping close behind)
Kermit: (BLUBBERING) Whoa! Whoa!
(Kermit ducked to avoid crashing into low-hanging branches)
(Clamina plows down down bushes and small tree in her path)
Clamina: Extinct! Come on!
(Kermit crouched against Clamina's back like a jockey in the final stretch of the big race)
Kermit: She's coming around the corner, and he's up by a couple of fifths. He's ahead by wings! Oh, she's beating Chlorine! Chlorine's gonna go to the corner!
(Clamina screeched to a stop, and Kermit was catapulted through the air. He landed on his face and slid through the mud)
Kermit: Ow! Ow! Ooh! (GROANS)
(The horn sounded again just inches from his face. He looked up to see a wide-angle view of a bear's rear end. It was CHOLLY the chalicotherium with a bad case of gas!)
Cholly: Sorry. My stomach hates me.
(The trumpet sounded again)
(Chlorine and Sven coughed and sputtered in disgust)
Chlorine: Oh. Phew!
Kermit: Eew! Don't that put the "stink" in "extinction." Whoo! Sheesh! Eww! Nasty!
(Clamina turned away in despair, her last glimmer of hope extinguished)
KERMIT: Clami?
Clamina: I, uh… I need to be alone for a while. You go on ahead. I'll catch up.
(Kermit, Chlorine, and Sven hated to see their friend suffering)
Kermit: One truly is the loneliest number.
(As he and Chlorine walked away, a barrage of pebbles began whizzing toward them)
Kermit: Ow!
Chlorine: Ow! Hey!
(Chlorine looked over his shoulder and spied Grotto and Sea Salt, hanging from a branch like possums. They each had one of Fast Tony's dried-out reeds, and they were using them like pea shooters)
Grotto: Ooh! These work great!
(Whap! He hit the fish again)
Sea Salt: Cool.
(Chlorine leaped toward them)
(The girls jumped down from the tree and dove into a nearby burrow)
Sea Salt: Missed me! Missed me! Now you gotta kiss me!
Kermit: I'll get them.
(He dive head first into the hole)
(EXT. ICY BURROW – MORNING. Grotto popped up out of a hole nearby, studied Kermit's rear end)
Grotto: Which end is up?
Sea Salt: I'd hide that face too.
(She went under and popped her head out of the burrow's exit)
(Kermit sprinted after Sea Salt. Too late! Sea Salt dove back down and popped up again out of another hole)
(Grotto sprang out of yet another hole behind them)
Grotto: Hey, ugly.
(Kermit had poked his head down in the tub looking for Sea Salt, and his backside was up in the air again. The perfect target! Grotto shot another pebble)
Kermit: Ow! I gotta sit on that!
(The two girls vanished and popped up again in different holes. They took aim and started pelting Kermit with pebbles again)
(Chlorine came up behind them)
Chlorine: Boo.
(BOTH SCREAM)
(Grotto and Sea Salt quickly shoots at him and ducking back underground)
Kermit: Okay, I'm going in!
(But before he could reach the hole, the girls stretched their bungee cords across the ground and tied them together. Kermit tripped over the makeshift rope and landed on Chlorine)
Chlorine: Mr. The Frog!
Kermit: What?
(Up and down the girls went, with frog and fish in hot pursuit)
Grotto: Nice miss!
Kermit: Cover your side.
Grotto: Ooh! I felt some breeze on that one.
(Finally, they heard Grotto call out)
Grotto: Over here!
(The two friends sprang toward him at once and collided, head-to-head, just as the wily winter citizen disappeared down the hole again)
Grotto: Surrender?
Both: Never!
Sea Salt: Cool!
(There was a long pause while Grotto and Sea Salt stayed hidden underground. Kermit, Sven, and Chlorine looked at each other, wondering if the game was over. Suddenly, Grotto and Sea Salt sprang out of the ground)
GROTTO: Smoke them!
(They pelted them with a rain of pebbles as the girls somersaulted over their head like gymnasts)
(Kermit, Chlorine, and Sven made a lunge for them, but the two girls darted out of reach and ran up a nearby hill, laughing)
(Chlorine, Sven, and Kermit collapsed on the ground in exhaustion)
Chlorine: Anyone asks, there were 50 of them… And, uh, they were rattlesnakes.
Sea Salt: (LAUGHS) Here, kitty, kitty.
Chlorine: Big mistake, you miscreants.
Sea Salt: Miscreants?
(BOTH GIGGLING)
Kermit: Uh, Chlorine, they're possums.
(Chlorine rolled his eyes)
(From their hilltop refuge, Grotto and Sea Salt began making chicken noises at them)
(The royal gramma sprang after them, with the slightly slower frog right behind them)
Grotto: Retreat!
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. Completely oblivious to the Whack-a-Girl game going on in the meadow, Clamina stood forlornly on the riverbank gazing at the water)
Clamina: I guess it's just you and me now.
(In her own lonely visage, she could see the face of her mother and father she had missed)
(But her sad memories were interrupted by the sound of a large branch cracking in the tree above. Suddenly, a shape plummeted down and stopped just before it hit the ground. There, right before her eyes, was Calypso bobbling up and down as if he were hanging at the end of a bungee cord)
Clamina: (GASPS)
Calypso: (SCREAMS)
(BOTH SCREAM)
(The branch gave way, and Calypso crashed to the ground)
Clamina: I knew it! I knew I wasn't the only one!
Calypso: Me too! Everyone falls out of the tree every now and then. They just don't admit it.
Clamina: Wait. What?
Calypso: Some of us have a tough time holding on to branches.
Clamina: Branches?
CALYPSO: It's not like we're bats or something. We don't have wings to keep us up.
(Clamina looked at her best friend, more perplexed than ever)
Clamina: And you were in the tree because…
CALYPSO: Um… Oh, I was just looking for my friends. They are always getting into trouble.
Clamina: Friends? You mean there's more?
Calypso: Sure! Whoa! There's lots of us.
Clamina: Where?
Calypso: Uh, everywhere? Under rocks, in holes in the ground. Usually we come out at night so birds don't carry us off.
(Clamina was wondering what in the world he was talking about, when suddenly his friends burst out of the bushes)
GROTTO: Help! Help! Help!
(They ducked behind him)
(Chlorine, Sven, and Kermit leapt out of the bushes close behind them)
(When they saw Clamina face-to-face with Calypso, they stopped in their tracks)
Kermit: Well, shave me down and call me a mole rat! You found a Frost Prince!
CALYPSO: Where? Wait a minute. I thought Frost Citizens were extinct.
(He looked around anxiously until she realized everyone was staring at him)
Calypso: What are you looking at me for?
Clamina: I don't know. Maybe because you're a Frost Prince?
Calypso: Me? Don't be ridiculous. I'm not a Frost Prince. I'm a snowman.
(Kermit, Chlorine, Sven, and Clamina stared at him blankly)
Clamina: Right. Good one. I'm a newt. (points to Chlorine and Sven) This is my friends, the badgers. (points to a Kermit) And my other friend, the platypus.
Kermit: Why do I gotta be the platypus? Make him the platypus.
(Grotto stepped up to them, putting on her toughest gunslinger attitude)
Grotto: This guy giving you trouble, sis?
All: "Sis"?
Calypso: That's right. These are my inventors, possum, possum, possum.
(Clamina leaned over and whispered to Kermit)
Clamina: I don't think his tree goes all the way to the top branch.
Kermit: Clamina, think of extinction's a bad time to be picky. Hey, he should come with us.
Clamina: Are you insane? No way.
Kermit: Okay. Clami wants me to ask you if you'd like to escape the flood with us.
CLAMINA: What?
(But the girls didn't want anything to do with Kermit and his pals)
Sea Salt: I'd rather be roadkill.
Chlorine: That can be arranged.
Calypso: (LAUGHS) Funny! Let me have a little word with my inventors.
(He took them aside)
Sea Salt: Calypso, are you crazy? We're not going with them!
Calypso: Look, we'll never make it in time if we only travel at night. These guys can protect us out in the open. What do you say?
Sea Salt: I'd rather grow hair on my wings.
(At the same time, Clamina was arguing with Kermit)
Clamina: Why did you invite them?
Kermit: 'Cause you might be the only two Frost Citizens left on Earth.
Chlorine: He has a point.
Clamina: I'm sorry. When did I join this dating service?
(Calypso returned with Grotto and Sea Salt trailing behind him, grumbling. Calypso addressed Clamina and Kermit with a haughty air)
Calypso: My inventors and I would be delighted to come with you.
Clamina: (GROANS)
Grotto: If you treat us nicely.
(Sven leaned toward Grotto and bared his teeth)
Grotto: That there. See that? That's the total opposite of nice.
Chlorine: Maybe we'll have ourselves a little snack before we hit the road.
Sea Salt: You want a piece of us? Let's go.
Grotto: Banzai!
(The two girls jumped on Kermit, Chlorine, and Sven, and the four of them swirled into a chaotic ball of punching and biting and scratching)
Kermit: I got him! Ow!
Sea Salt: Back! Back! Yah! Yah!
(Grotto paused for a second and lifted Sven's head from the fray)
Grotto: You know the best part? We're carrying diseases.
(Kermit and Chlorine jumped back)
Both: Ew!
(Sea Salt and Grotto hissed and spat at them)
Grotto: Here's a little plague, fuzzface.
(All around them, the huge glacial dams cracked and boomed. Chunks of ice came crashing down)
(The pumped-up citizens stopped and held their breath. It seemed like the whole world's fair was falling down on top of them!)
Clamina: Okay. Thanks to Kermit, we're now traveling together and, like it or not, we're gonna be one big, happy team. I'll be Kermit's sister, Calypso will be my creative snowman, and Chlorine and Sven will be our tour guides who eats his inventors who get on my nerves.
(No one made a peep in objection)
Clamina: Now, let's move it before the ground falls out from under our feet!
Calypso: I thought fat guys were supposed to be jolly.
Clamina: I'm not fat. It's this wings. It makes me look big. It's poofy.
Calypso: (CHUCKLING) Oh. Okay. She's fat.
Chlorine: When we unlock our secret, we'll bring summer.
Calypso: (shocked) Summer? (sinking into wistfulness) Oh, I don't know why but I've always loved the idea of summer, and sun, and all things hot.
Chlorine: Really? I'm guessing you don't have much experience with heat.
Calypso: Nope. But sometimes I like to close my eyes and imagine what it'd be like when summer does come.
(CALYPSO'S FANTASY WORLD – PERFECT SUMMER DAY. Calypso walk through a grassy meadow with the sun shining behind him)
Calypso: (SINGING) Bees'll buzz
Kids'll blow dandelion fuzz
And I'll be doing whatever the snow does in summer.
(-Calypso now lays in the sand on a beach)
Calypso: A drink in my hand
My snow up against the burning sand
Prob'ly getting gorgeously tanned in summer.
(-Calypso sails in a boat)
Calypso: I'll finally see a summer breeze
Blow away a winter storm
(-Calypso floats in the water)
Calypso: And find out what happens to solid water
When it gets warm.
(-Calypso tumbles on a sandy beach with sandmen)
Calypso: And I can't wait to see
What my buddies all think of me
Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer!
(-Calypso and the seagull break out into a tap-dance)
Calypso: (VOCALIZING)
(-Calypso and another winter citizen drink hot chocolate in the hot tub)
Calypso: The hot and the cold are both so intense
Put them together, it just makes sense!
(-Calypso tap dances with a gaggle of seagulls)
Calypso: (SCATTING)
(-Calypso bounds down a grassy hill)
Calypso: Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle
But put me in summer and I'll be…
(He stops at a puddle, looks down at it. Smiles. Hops over it)
Calypso: Happy snowman!
(-Calypso runs with a checkered blanket that he spreads out. He relaxes and stares at the blue sky)
Calypso: When like get rough I like to hold on to my dream
Of relaxing in the summer sun just letting off steam!
(Kermit, Clamina, Sea Salt, Grotto, Sven, and Chlorine have a picnic)
Calypso: Oh the sky will be blue
And you guys'll be there too
When I finally do what frozen things do in summer!
Chlorine: I'm gonna tell him.
Clamina: Don't you dare.
Calypso: In summer!
(Calypso sings the final note. We swing around him and return to:)
(REALITY. They then straighten up and smile)
Calypso: So, come on! London's this way. Let's go bring back summer!
(Calypso grabs Clamina's hand and pulls her along)
Clamina: (laughing) I'm coming!
(Chlorine watches both of them like they're nuts)
Chlorine: Somebody's got to tell him.
(EXT. GLACIER FOUNTAIN, THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. Cretaceous and Maelstrom, two sea reptiles discuss their plan to melt the glacial wall quickly by placing lava tubes)
(Already high above them, Scrat grab his stick, using it as as a pole)
(He takes a deep breath. Scrat ran with the stick and he climbs the stick in order to reach the acorn. However, he missed the catch and falls into the water)
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. Fast Tony's endless sales pitch droned on as terrified creatures and people their way over piles of loose debris and around treacherous rock slides)
Fast Tony: Folks! Escaping the flood is the perfect time to shed those unsightly pounds with Fast Tony's Disaster Diet!
(The winter citizens and creatures were so busy trying to escape the oncoming flood that nobody gave Fast Tony the time of day. Fast Tony spotted a winter citizen, which is a character from The Snow Queen, GERDA coming his way)
Fast Tony: You, ma'am! You look like a big, fat hairy beast! How'd you like to lose a ton or two, eh?
Gerda: Would I ever!
Kai: Don't listen to him, Gerda! You're already thin as a twig.
(The pair continued on with the rest of the winter citizens)
Fast Tony: Oh-ho! I also have the perfect cure for your eyesight, my blind friend.
(As he scanned the horizon, he saw Clamina and Chlorine in the distance. This time the fast-talking hawker decided to move his act to another corner of the herd before the annoying heavyweights arrived)
(The girls kept under cover, scurrying from bush to tree. Calypso tried to camouflage his massive bulk with a few twigs and branches)
(Clamina rolled her eyes, watching him try to hide behind a tree that was way thinner than he was)
Clamina: Oh, we'll never make it at this pace. Calypso, it's okay! You can lose the camouflage! You're safe!
Calypso: Okay! Safe? Please.
(But he checked with his friends just to be sure)
Calypso: Grotto, Sea Salt, you two scope it out.
(They peeked out from behind the leaves)
Grotto: What you got?
Sea Salt: Perimeter looks to be all clear, Captain.
Grotto: Roger that. One-niner, over.
Sea Salt: Roger. Over, victor…
(Grotto whacked her in the head)
Sea Salt: Ow!
(Grotto began to laugh, but Sea Salt grabbed her by the throat)
CALYPSO: Guys!
Grotto: All clear!
(Finally, Calypso dared to step out from behind the tree. Grotto and Sea Salt tumbled out of the branches beside him. But just as they emerged from under cover, Sea Salt spotted something in the sky overhead)
Sea Salt: Hawk!
(Grotto and Sea Salt fell to the ground, motionless. Calypso dropped to the ground, too)
(Clamina peered down at him)
Clamina: What are you doing?
Calypso: Playing dead.
Kermit: Clami, why don't you do that?
Clamina: Because I'm a Frost Princess!
Kermit: But you'd do it for treats, right?
(Calypso opened one eye)
Calypso: Is he gone?
Clamina: You're safe. Get up.
Calypso: Whoo! Oh, man. If you weren't here, that hawk would've swooped down and snatched me up for dinner. That's how cousin Wilton went.
(Chlorine and Sven looked at Kermit in disbelief)
(Calypso was still reeling from his narrow escape)
Calypso: Boy, I really feel for you. I do. I can't even imagine what it'd be like to be the last one of your species.
(Clamina gestured toward him)
Clamina: I'm not the last one.
Calypso: Oh, you brave, brave soul. That's right. Don't give up hope.
Clamina: (SIGHS) Calypso? Look at our footprints.
(She looked back and saw Grotto and Sea Salt's little footprints, circling their big round ones)
(Clamina pointed to his footprints)
Clamina: They're the same shape.
(Calypso peered at them suspiciously)
Calypso: Well. How do I know those aren't your footprints?
(Clamina thought for a moment)
Clamina: Well, then, look at our shadows.
(Calypso looked at their twin silhouettes on the ground)
Clamina: We match.
(He studied the two shadows and struggled to figure out what it might mean. Suddenly, his face brightened)
Calypso: You're right. They're the same!
(Clamina beamed, triumphant)
Calypso: You must be part snowman!
Grotto: You wish.
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. Kermit, Clamina, Chlorine, Sven, Calypso, Sea Salt, and Grotto move through hostile terrain. Wind-swept icicles face horizontal)
Chlorine: So, how exactly are you planning to unlock this secret?
Kermit: (confident) Oh. I am gonna talk to the Lord of Winter.
Chlorine: That's your plan? My ice business is riding on you talking to the Lord of Winter?
Kermit: Yep.
(Chlorine, so stunned by Kermit's casual plan, doesn't look where he's going and ends up with an ice-spike to the nose. He stops shorts, GULP, moves carefully around the spike)
Chlorine: So, you're not at all afraid of him?
Clamina: Why would I be?
Calypso: Yeah. I bet he's the nicest, gentlest, warmest person ever.
(Calypso backs right into an icicle. It runs through his torso)
Calypso: Oh. Look at that. I've been impaled. (CHUCKLING)
(He laughs it off)
(EXT. STEEP MOUNTAIN FACE – DAY. Clamina, Kermit, and Chlorine hit what looks like a dead end. The face of the mountain goes straight up)
Clamina: What now?
(Chlorine looks around, sighs. Digs in his rucksack)
CHLORINE: Mmm… It's too steep. I've only got one rope and you don't know how to climb mountains.
CLAMINA: Says who?
(Sven nudges Chlorine, who looks up to see Clamina trying to climb the cliff's flat face)
Chlorine: (finding her ridiculous) What are you doing?
Clamina: (straining) I'm going to see Lord Milori.
Chlorine: You're gonna kill yourself.
(Chlorine watches her searching for footholds and hand-holds)
Chlorine: I wouldn't put my foot there.
Clamina: (O.S.) You're distracting me.
Chlorine: Or there. How do you know Lord Milori even wants to see you?
CLAMINA: All right. I'm just blocking you out because I gotta concentrate, here. (GRUNTING)
Chlorine: You know, most people who disappear into the mountains want to be alone.
Clamina: (O.S.) Nobody wants to be alone. Except maybe you.
Chlorine: I'm not alone. I have friends, remember?
(Clamina kicks a foot above her head to catch a foot hold)
CLAMINA: You mean, the love experts?
Chlorine: Yes, the love experts.
(Clamina realizes she's stuck)
Clamina: (GRUNTS) Ah… Please tell me I'm almost there.
(REVEAL: she's only about six feet up. Her muscles shake)
Clamina: Does the air seem a bit thin to you up here?
(Chlorine smiles, getting a kick out of her)
Chlorine: (CHUCKLES) Hang on.
(He pulls the rope from his bag. Just then, Calypso steps out from behind a rock and waves to Chlorine)
CALYPSO: Hey, Sven? Not sure if this is gonna solve the problem, but the girls and I found a frozen lake that leads exactly where you wanted to go.
Clamina: Ha-ha! Thank goodness. Catch!
(Clamina drops off the cliff. Kermit catches her)
Clamina: Thanks. That was like a crazy trust exercise.
(She hops down, brushes off her dress, and bounds off. Chlorine watches after her, digging her fearless pluck)
(EXT. LAKE, THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. The whole pavilion was quickly turning into one wide lake littered with rocks and giant ice floes. The travelers, hurried on, crossing the water from ice floe to ice floe)
Clamina: Chlorine, there are whole continents moving faster than you. Let's go! We gotta catch up with the others.
(Grotto and Sea Salt were having a blast, slipping and gliding like a couple of ice skaters. But Chlorine was tense)
Chlorine: Hey, knock it off.
Grotto: Oh, cry me a river, blubber-toothed fish. Have some fun.
Chlorine: Can't you see the ice is thin enough without you two wearing to down?
(Everyone looked at the ice floe they were standing on. Chlorine was right)
Kermit: Ah, Chlorine, come on. The ice may be thin, but it's strong enough to hold a 10-ton Frost Citizen and a 9-ton snowman. I even brought my rock collection.
(He held out a pile of pebbles to show Chlorine and Sven)
Chlorine: Get rid of those pebbles.
(He slapped them out of his hand into the water)
Kermit: My feldspar!
(They hurried on across the ice, trying to step lightly)
Calypso: I've got a really bad feeling about this. My snowman sense is tingling.
Clamina: Snowman sense? There's no such thing.
(But at that moment, two immense shadowy shapes were sweeping past them under the ice)
(Before they could take another step, one of the menacing monsters, Maelstrom, burst through the ice, sending everyone careening off the floe)
Kermit: Mammal overboard!
(Kermit flew thought the air)
(Chlorine and Sven were spinning around on a small piece of ice, gripping it with his feet and hanging on for dear life)
(Grotto and Sea Salt spotted Calypso lying unconscious on another foe. They made a dash for him)
SEA SALT: Calypso, get up!
GROTTO: If you play dead, you'll be dead! Look at me!
(Grotto pulled one of his eyelids up. He roused herself and stood. But as he peered into the water he saw a terrifying sight: Kermit was paddling as fast as he could toward Chlorine and Sven, with the immense, sharp-toothed Maelstrom swimming right behind him!)
Kermit: Chlorine? Sven?
(But Chlorine was too petrified to even bat an eyelid. Chlorine's stiff, motionless legs and hauled himself up onto the ice floe. But the water reptile was zooming in fast. Kermit had to think of something quick, or they would both be swallowed up together in the reptile's giant maw)
(Suddenly, a look of inspiration crossed Kermit's face)
Kermit: This might sting a little.
(Sven bit Chlorine's fin. Kermit and Sven darted away, with a furious Chlorine following after him)
(Just in the nick of time! Behind them ice crashed and crunched. They turned to see Maelstrom bursting out of the water and completely obliterating their ice floe with one bite)
(Trapped on another chunk of ice, Clamina looked on in disbelief as Kermit, Chlorine, and Sven sprinted toward shore, with Maelstrom mashing through the ice after them)
(Wham! The other water monster, Cretaceous, suddenly leapt out of the ice, snapping his powerful jaws shut just a hairbreadth from Clamina's hand)
(Clamina watched, terrified, as the monster circled around and came up again on the other side. Suddenly, all Clamina could see was a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth coming at her. Clonk! The powerful jaws slammed shut)
(Argh! Cretaceous was stunned. His mouth had clamped shut on Clamina's strong arms. Clamina shook the reptile off and Cretaceous fell back into the water. Clamina stumbled and nearly toppled into the water herself. But his floe had moved close enough to shore. She pushed off the ice and bounded to safety. Kermit, Chlorine, and Sven stepped up beside her and peered the at the bite mark in Clamina's ice floe)
(Cretaceous and Maelstrom glared at them from the water, sizing them up for their next attack. Then they silently slithered away into the murky depths)
(Kermit's eyes were about to pop out of his head in disbelief)
Kermit: What in the mammal kingdom was that?
Chlorine: I don't know, but from now on, land safe. Water? Not safe. As if drowning wasn't enough.
(Calypso and the girls joined them on the shore)
Calypso: That was the bravest thing I've ever seen.
Clamina: It was nothing really. I, uh…
Calypso: Oh, it's not a compliment. To a snowman, bravery is just dumb.
Grotto: Yeah, we're spineless.
Sea Salt: Lily-liveried.
Calypso: Maybe Frost Citizens are going extinct because they put themselves in danger too often. Maybe you should run away more.
(Clamina could not believe what he was hearing)
Clamina: Good point. Thanks for the advice.
Calypso: Happy to help.
(Calypso sauntered ahead with his girlfriends)
Clamina: Do you believe him? (GRUFFLY VOICE) "Bravery's just dumb. Maybe you should run away more." He's infuriating and stubborn and narrow-minded.
Kermit: He's a Frost Prince, all right. You like him!
Clamina: I do not!
Kermit: Oh, don't worry. Your secret's safe with me. (to Chlorine) Oh, and so is yours.
Chlorine: What secret?
Kermit: You know, the one where you can't swim.
Chlorine: That's ridiculous.
Kermit: Fine, but we're living in a melting world, buddy. You're gonna have to face your fear sooner or later.
(Chlorine and Sven knew Kermit was right. They could see the water rising even as they stood there on the shore. The three pals hurried to catch up with Clamina, Calypso, Grotto, and Sea Salt)
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS, VILLAGE — DAY. A layer of solid ice coats everything. People huddle around weak fires. Anxiety runs high amongst the villagers and guests. We pass two CITIZENS fighting over a woodpile)
Citizen 1: No, no. You've got the bark facing down. The bark needs to be face-up.
Citizen 2: Bark down is drier.
MAN 1: Bark up!
MAN 2: Bark down!
BOY: Papa!
(Like a light in the dark, Lord Milori moves through the crowd)
Lord Milori: Cloak? Does anyone need a cloak?
Gerda: The Winter Woods is indebted to you, Your Highness.
Lord Milori: The castle is open. There is soup and hot glogg in the great hall.
(He hands the stack of cloaks to a guard)
Lord Milori: Here, pass these out.
(Just then, Trident approaches Lord Milori)
Trident: Lord Milori! Are we expected to just sit here and freeze while you give away all of the Winter Woods' tradable goods?
Lord Milori: (tall and confident) Queen Melody has given her orders.
Trident: And that's another thing! Has it dawned on you that your princess may be conspiring with a wicked sorceress to destroy us all?
(Lord Milori's nice eyes turn to threatening slits)
Lord Milori: Do not question the queen. She left me in charge and I will not hesitate to protect Winter from treason.
Trident: (flabbergasted, offended) (STAMMERING) Treason?
(Suddenly, they hear the alarmed whinny of the horse. It returns alone, bucking and kicking. Lord Milori grabs its reins)
Lord Milori: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, boy. Easy. Easy.
MAN: It's Princess Clamina's horse.
WOMAN 1: So, where is the princess?
WOMAN 2: Where could she be?
WOMAN 3: Where is she?
Crowd: (various) Princess Clamina's horse. What happened to her? Where is she?
(Lord Milori steadies the horse, looks up at the mountain. He sees all the panicked faces of the pavilion looking to him)
Lord Milori: Princess Clamina is in trouble. I need volunteers to go with me to find her.
(Volunteers, some from the Winter Woods, some from other lands, rush up to offer their services)
Trident: I volunteer. I volunteer two men, My Lord. (quietly to the inmates) Be prepared for anything. And should you encounter the queen, you are to put an end to this flood. Do you understand?
(The two inmates sneer)
(INT. PRADO MUSEUM – DAY. The guards enter the museum and turns on the lights. The busts were shattered)
Prado Museum Guard #2: (WHIMPERS) Looks like we are busted.
(INT. INTERPOL HEADQUARTERS, GENEVA SWITZERLAND – DAY. Jean Pierre and Sam the Eagle were enjoying tea)
Sam the Eagle: (GRUMBLING) Exactly what are we doing today?
Jean Pierre: I am doing my job. All we need to do is look at the map with the blinky lights. And wait. This is how it is done here in Europe.
Sam the Eagle: In America, we use 3-D satellite LED displays. Not cardboard with Christmas lights stuck through it.
(Jean Pierre notices a blinky light blinking. They heard about the Prado museum burglary)
Jean Pierre: A blinky light! She is blinking! Let's go.
(They sprang into action)
(EXT. INTERPOL HEADQUARTERS, GENEVA SWITZERLAND – DAY. Jean Pierre led the way to their car)
(Sam the Eagle saw Jean Pierre's tiny car)
Sam the Eagle: What is this? A toy? My truck could eat this car for breakfast!
(However, Jean Pierre was very proud of his car)
Jean Pierre: This is my car, Le Maximum. It is illegal now in most of the EU for its massive size.
(They both got into the tiny car)
Jean Pierre: It's so needlessly spacious, I feel guilty.
(He put the siren on top of the tiny car as it rolled off)
Jean Pierre: (YELLS IN FRENCH)
SAM THE EAGLE: I hate Europe.
JEAN PIERRE: Madrid, here we come!
(They went on a crazy and short ride through his home country, France)
Jean Pierre: (V.O.) Ah, this is the life, mon ami. Out on the open road with no schedule at all. Except for Madrid.
(EXT. MADRID – DAY. They drive through the streets, markets, and people)
JEAN PIERRE: Get out of the way.
SAM THE EAGLE: Stay on the road!
JEAN PIERRE: Interpol! Excusez-moi.
MAN: Watch out, everyone!
(They arrived at the museum)
JEAN PIERRE: 37 hours. Not bad.
(EXT. PRADO MUSEUM, MADRID – DAY. It didn't take long for Jean Pierre to discover the Lemur coin)
Jean Pierre: The Lemur. I knew it.
Sam the Eagle: This doesn't make any sense. Why break in, smash some priceless busts and then not steal anything? There must be something bigger going on. But what?
(CLOCK BELL TOLLING)
Jean Pierre: Ah, I've got it! Oh, sorry. 2:00 PM. My day is over.
(All of a sudden, he noticed the Muppet Show poster)
Sam the Eagle: Wait. Those weirdos, the Muppets, were performing next to the crime scene in Berlin. And here they are, performing right next to the crime scene in Madrid! You know what that means.
Jean Pierre: Yes, they love museums!
Sam the Eagle: No! They're suspects!
Jean Pierre: Okay. Overtime. We must find these Muppets before they flee the country. To the train station.
(EXT. ATOCHA STATION, MADRID – DAY. Jean Pierre and Sam the Eagle sped to the train station. They parked)
Jean Pierre: Are you all Les Muppets?
(They flashed their badges at the Muppets (Constantine, Gonzo, Fozzie, Miss Piggy, Foo Foo, Walter, Scooter))
Fozzie: Wow, those are big badges!
Sam the Eagle: Thank you.
Jean Pierre: Merci… Come, come. You must come with us to answer some questions.
(EXT. LOCAL POLICE STATION, MADRID – DAY. Later, Sam the Eagle and Jean Pierre take the Muppets for interrogation)
Sam the Eagle: (SINGING) Kermit, let's begin
Describe the day you played Berlin
Constantine: We rehearsed and then we walked about
We ate bratwurst and sauerkraut
Jean Pierre: That night at 10:03
Were you inside the portrait gallery?
Constantine: From 10:00 to 10:04
Was when we did the show encore
Sam the Eagle: Hmm, Frog we've got our doubts
Can you confirm your whereabouts?
Constantine: My alibi is watertight
The audience saw me sing all night
Jean Pierre: Monsieur we know you did the crime
Constantine: I was on stage that whole time
Ask who sang Rainbow Connection
Sam the Eagle & Jean Pierre (Both): Thank you Kermit, no more questions
Jean Pierre: Allô. I think it's time for good cop/romantic cop.
(SINGING) Miss Piggy, you could end up locked inside
Now's your chance to save your hide
Miss Piggy: Gentlemen, I did not know
It's a crime to steal the show
Sam the Eagle: Tell us how the art was taken
Jean Pierre: If you want to save your bacon
Miss Piggy: I haven't seen your missing art
All I've stolen is audience hearts
Sam the Eagle: We can give you a plea deal
Jean Pierre: All you have to do is squeal
Miss Piggy: I'm not a thief, I don't know how
All I've ever taken is a bow
Jean Pierre: We'll catch the swine that did this job
Miss Piggy: Give up the pig puns, creep!
Go jump in a lake, that's my suggestion
Sam the Eagle & Jean Pierre (Both): Thank you Piggy, no more questions
Jean Pierre: I think she likes me. Huh?
Sam the Eagle: I don't think your puns are helping the investigation.
Jean Pierre: You know, I think they did it
Sam the Eagle: No, they didn't
Jean Pierre: Yes, they did, and we can pin it
Sam the Eagle: If they did, how did they do it?
Jean Pierre: If they didn't, how did they didn't?
Sam the Eagle: If they didn't then it's easy 'cause they simply didn't do it
Jean Pierre: If they did it, then I knew it but we've nothing that can prove it
(CLEARS THROAT) Oh, excuse me
Sam the Eagle: (GROANS)
Jean Pierre: Bring in the purple guy with the schnoz
Sam the Eagle: Do you remember what you did
On the night you played Madrid?
Gonzo: I was hit by a raging bull
And rushed offstage to the hospital
Jean Pierre: Gonzo, what do you know
About the sculpture theft at Madrid's Prado?
Gonzo: I never saw the stolen busts
I spent the night in bed concussed
Sam the Eagle: The truth Gonzo, the clock is tickin'
Gonzo: If you don't believe me, ask the chicken
Camilla was there, she'll co-operate
Jean Pierre: Madam, are you willing to corroborate?
Camilla: (CLUCKING FRANTICALLY)
Sam the Eagle: Will someone get this chicken out of here
Gonzo: Calm down Camilla, it's a routine inspection
Sam the Eagle & Jean Pierre (Both): Thank you Gonzo, no more questions
Jean Pierre: Let's go from the start
What do you know about the stolen art?
Lew Zealand: I didn't know there was a plan
Floyd: Your accusation's far out, man
Bunsen: The chances of us committing a crime
Are less than .009
Swedish Chef: (SPEAKING MOCK SWEDISH)
Jean Pierre: To help with our investigation
Can someone provide a full translation?
Beaker: (SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
Penguins: (QUACKING)
Animal: (YELLING) (LAUGHS)
(Crazy Harry, speechless, pushes the detonator, and disappears)
Fozzie: (SINGING) Uh, I can do an Elvis impression?
Sam the Eagle & Jean Pierre (Both): Thank you Muppets, no more questions!
Jean Pierre: They didn't
Sam the Eagle: No, they didn't
Jean Pierre: There's no way they did the crime
Sam the Eagle: They couldn't, they're too stupid
Jean Pierre: Not criminal masterminds
Sam the Eagle: We do not know who did it
But we know who didn't do it
Sam the Eagle & Jean Pierre (Both): So we know who didn't do it
Yes we know who didn't do it
Jean Pierre: They're incapable of being culpable!
Fozzie: Hi!
SAM THE EAGLE: Come on. Let's go over the files again.
(EXT. GLACIER FOUNTAIN, THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. While Maelstrom and Cretaceous, two sea reptiles plan how they can get the citizens, Scrat are on the glacier slope. He gets into position and slides down the glacier slope, fly up to the ice tower and grabbed the acorn)
(After this, Scrat falls into the water. After he splashed down, he was surrounded by thousands of fish–with huge teeth. They're piranhas)
(Scrat rose to the surface while the piranhas are attacking. He reached the shore, avoiding the piranhas' bites. However, one of them bite Scrat's arm. He charged at them accusingly, using karate to knock the piranhas out cold and get the acorn out of the piranha's mouth)
(As Scrat began to walk away, the condor swooped down and snatched the acorn away from Scrat's hand. They turned and saw the condor set the acorn onto her nest. Scrat was stunned)
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. Calypso, Grotto, and Sea Salt were pushing logs)
GROTTO: Almost there!
(They push them up to the crest of the cliff)
Grotto: OK. Ready, Sea Salt?
Sea Salt: Set. Let's roll.
(She and Grotto let their big hollow log roll down the hill. As it picked up momentum, the two winter citizens jumped inside and tumbled with it like two sneakers in a dryer at the Laundromat)
(Kermit and Clamina watched, speechless)
(As if the winter citizens' log trick was not weird enough, a moment later Calypso zoomed past them, riding atop his own log like a lumberjack in a fast river)
Calypso: (GRUNTS) No brakes! Gotta roll! Meet you at the other end!
Clamina: So you think he's the boy for me?
Kermit: Yeah. He's tons of fun and you're no fun at all. He completes you.
(At the bottom of the hill, Grotto and Sea Salt's log banged to a stop against a big rock. They crawled out and staggered around dizzily, trying to give each other a high five but slamming into one another instead)
(Grotto climbed up a young sapling)
Grotto: Hey! Hey, Clami! Can you pull back the tree and shoot me into the pond?
(Clamina walked past her friend without even giving her a glance)
Clamina: No.
Grotto: Oh, come on!
Kermit: How do you expect to impress Calypso with that attitude?
Clamina: I don't want to impress him!
Kermit: Why are you trying to convince him he's a Frost Prince?
Clamina: Because that's what he is! I don't care if he thinks he's a snowman. You can't be two things.
Kermit: Au contraire, mon "fered." Tell that to the bullfrog, chicken hawk or turtledove.
Chlorine: You're never going to let up on you. It'll be easier on all of us if you just go with it.
(Clamina gritted her hair, took a deep breath to steel herself, and went back to Grotto)
Clamina: So what do you want me to do?
Grotto: Pull the tree and shoot me into the pond.
(Clamina looked from tree to pond)
Clamina: I don't know.
Grotto: Well, if you're too lame to do it, we can get Calypso.
CLAMINA: No, no, no. No, I can do it. I can do it.
(She pulled the tree back with her arm)
Grotto: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
(Grotto assumed a takeoff position and licked a finger to test the wind)
Grotto: Come on. Come on.
Clamina: Have you done this before?
Grotto: Ha! Only a million times. Farther! Farther! Farther! Perfect. Fire!
(Clamina did as she was told. Sprong! The tree snapped upright and Grotto went soaring through the air)
GROTTO: Yeah! I can fly! (SINGS) I believe I can fly…
(Smash! She whammed headfirst into an oak tree and plopped to the ground like a sack of potatoes. Acorns rained down around her)
Sea Salt: (YELLS) Grotto!
Clamina: Uh-oh.
(Everyone ran to her side in a panic. Grotto was curled up in a ball, her legs twitching)
Sea Salt: Oh, Grotto! Grotto! Grotto, are you okay?
(Calypso came back to see what was wrong)
Calypso: What happened?
Sea Salt: Clami shot her out of a tree.
(He looked at Clamina crossly)
Calypso: What's wrong with you?
Clamina: She said she could do it.
Calypso: And you listened to her.
(They heard Grotto moan. Sea Salt fell dramatically to her knees and held her sister in her arms)
Sea Salt: Grotto, whatever you do, don't go into the light!
Clamina: Can I help in any way here?
Calypso: You've done enough. Just go. Please.
(Clamina glared at Kermit, Chlorine, and Sven)
Clamina: Are you happy now?
(They felt terrible)
SEA SALT: Grotto! Grotto, don't leave me! Who's gonna watch my back? Who's gonna be my wingman of mayhem? Who's gonna roll in that dung patch with me?
(At the words "dung patch" one of Grotto's eyes sprang open)
Grotto: Dung patch? Wait! My legs! I can stand!
Sea Salt: She can stand!
Grotto: I can run!
Sea Salt: She can run! It's a miracle!
Calypso: Hallelujah!
(Whooping and hollering, they bounced off to the dung patch, dove in, and began to roll)
(Clamina and Kermit looked at Calypso)
Calypso: Ooh! What can I say? They're girls. They make my life a little adventure.
(Then he stormed over to her friends, glowering)
Calypso: You girls are so dead. Thanks for embarrassing me.
(He loomed over them, threatening to give them both a good thrashing)
SEA SALT: Ow! Not the face!
(Kermit and Clamina winced)
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – DUSK. Clamina watched as Calypso, Grotto, and Sea Salt played with each other, having a fun family moment. Her eyes glazed over as he tilted his head to the side)
CHLORINE: He's not half bad.
(Clamina snapped out of her daze and turned to face Kermit, Chlorine, and Sven. She picked up a log that was in her way and swung it, almost beheading Kermit and Chlorine)
Chlorine: Crazy and confused, but sweet.
Clamina: So?
(Clamina picked up another log and moved it as Kermit, Chlorine, and Sven jumped over it to avoid getting hit again. Kermit stood on one of the logs as Clamina lifted it up)
Chlorine: So, what's holding you back?
Clamina: My family.
Kermit: You can have that again, you know.
Clamina: No, Kermit, I can't.
Kermit: (YELPING) Okay, okay. But think about it. If you let this chance go, you're letting your whole species go… And that's just, uh… That's just selfish.
(Clamina stormed off after tossing the log–with Kermit still in it–out of the way)
Kermit: I think I'm starting to get through to him.
(He noticed his Muppet friends (Dr. Teeth, Scooter, Miss Piggy, Rizzo, Lew Zealand, Janice, Gonzo, Floyd, Pepé, Animal, Walter, Fozzie, Beaker, Zoot, Rowlf, Bunsen) in the newspaper)
Kermit: Hey, wait a second. That's them! That's my friends! What happened to them?
(Clamina came back and read the newspaper)
Clamina: (reading) "Dominic Badguy…"
Kermit: It's pronounced "Bad-gee."
Clamina: (reading) "An interview with the brains behind the Muppets' triumphant comeback world tour."
Kermit: What? We're in the middle of the tour!
Clamina: It seems your friends do not need you anymore. They have forgotten about you.
Kermit: Oh, no, no, no. They wouldn't. They couldn't. We're a family.
(As the sun began to set that evening, Grotto and Sea Salt led the way through a ruined forest. The ground had become mushy, and all the trees were tipped over at odd angles. The nimble girls climbed over them and ducked under them like kids on a playground)
Calypso: Wait, wait. I got you.
GROTTO: Slowpoke!
(Calypso tried to follow, but she was soon wedged under a fallen tree)
(Behind him he could see Clamina trudging through the mess, using her arm to uproot the trees in her way and toss them aside)
CLAMINA: Need help?
Calypso: No. No. Just, uh, catching my breath.
Clamina: You're stuck.
Calypso: I am not.
Clamina: All right. Then let's go.
(She lumbered off again through the swampy forest)
CALYPSO: I can't. I'm stuck.
Clamina: Don't you think that picking them up like this would be easier?
(She lifted the tree and freed him)
(Suddenly, Calypso fell silent and all of his senses snapped alert. He felt as if mysterious but familiar voices were calling to him. He started moving forward, spellbound)
Clamina: Calypso?
(EXT. WILLOW MEADOW – DUSK. Curious, Clamina followed him into a beautiful, wide-open meadow. The setting sun shone behind the trees in deep red and purple hues, lighting them up like stained glass. It was the most magical place she had ever seen)
(The tops of the willow trees swayed in the gentle breeze, taking on the shapes of different frost citizens. Clamina stopped in front of one of the trees. The sun flashed on its branches, lighting up its familiar form)
Calypso: I know this place.
(EXT. WILLOW MEADOW – DAY – FLASHBACK. In a flash, he was looking at himself as a youngster. There was snow on the ground, and he was running around frantically searching for something. He was all alone, shivering in the sharp biting wind. He saw herself huddle up, crying and afraid, under the shelter of a tree. It was this tree! The very same tree he was looking at right now)
(And there, hanging from the branch above, he could see a frost citizen. Calypso saw his infant self wipe away his tears as he looked up into the kindly mama frost citizen's eyes. Two little girls peeked out at her from behind their mother. His friends)
(EXT. WILLOW MEADOW – DUSK. Calypso realized he was seeing a memory from long ago)
(Clamina saw his ashen expression and watched him as he looked back and, for the first time, really noticed his footprint next to her. He studied them for a while, then carefully lifted his foot and placed it in her footprint. He looked up at Clamina with tears in his eyes)
Clamina: A Frost Prince never forgets.
(Then we walked down the meadow)
Calypso: You know, deep down I knew I was different. I was a little bigger than the other snowman kids. Okay, a lot bigger. Oh! Now I understand why the girls didn't find me appealing.
Clamina: That's too bad because as far as Frost Citizens go, you're, uh… You know.
Calypso: What?
Clamina: Well, um… Uh… Well, attractive.
Calypso: Really?
Clamina: Sure.
Calypso: What about me is attractive?
Clamina: Huh? Well… Oh, well, I don't know. Uh… Uh, well, there's your… Uh, hair?
Calypso: What about it?
Clamina: It's… fluffy?
Calypso: Oh, you're just saying that!
Clamina: No. No! No, I mean it. It's fuzzy! Fluffiest hair I've ever seen.
Calypso: Oh! That is really sweet! What a crazy day. This morning I woke up a snowman… And now I'm a Frost Prince.
(Clamina smiled, delighted)
Calypso: Come on. Let's go uproot something. I want to see what this new Frost Citizen body can do.
Clamina: But you've always had that body!
(Calypso had already raced halfway down the hill)
(Clamina shrugged and hurried off after him)
(EXT. GLACIER FOUNTAIN, THE WINTER WOODS – DUSK. Cretaceous moves closer to see where the bubbles are coming from while Maelstrom eyes the hole in the lava tube)
(Back outside, Scrat avoids the fallen ice and water and used the stick to swing himself up to the nest)
(He saw the acorn, ran to it, and grabbed it. Suddenly, he heard a CRACK! He turned to see the large egg break and reveal a CHICK who was smiling at them)
(Scrat looked face-to-face with the chick, who wants to play with it)
Scrat: Bah!
Condor Chick: (SQUAWKS)
(The chick chased Scrat around the nest. He wants to take the acorn from him. He bit Scrat's tail, causing the acorn to fly out of his hands while the chick grabs it with his beak. Scrat got up and charged after him)
(Scrat grabs the chick's talon and he and the chick played tug of war with the acorn to get it back. The acorn flies into the air and landed straight into the chick's throat. Scrat grabs the gun out of his mouth and he ran for his lives)
(The chick charged after them, making Scrat pretend to lose his head. The shadow fell over Scrat, who looks up. It was the condor. She's the mother of the chick)
Condor Chick: (CHIRPS)
Scrat: (PEEPS)
(The mother growled at Scrat and head-butted him off the nest, making a hole. The chick waved goodbye)
(EXT. ICE CAVE – EARLY EVENING. Kermit was setting up camp so everyone could settle in for a much-needed rest. He lit the campfire, and countless little eyes gleamed at her from the surrounding darkness. Chlorine and Sven stepped into the circle of light, and the eyes quickly vanished)
Kermit: Boy, Clami sure took a big leap with Calypso today.
Chlorine: He sure did.
Kermit: Yup. He stood on the shore of uncertainty and dove right in. Splash! Kind of brave, huh, the way he faced his fear?
Chlorine: I wouldn't know. Fish don't feel fear.
Kermit: Oh, come on. All citizens feel fear. It's what separates us from, say, rocks. Rocks have no fear. And they sink.
Chlorine: What are you getting at, Kermit?
Kermit: It may surprise you to know that I, too, have experienced fear.
Chlorine: No! You?
Kermit: Oh, yeah, yes. As impossible as it seems, the frog has natural enemies that would like to harm or otherwise "kill" us.
Chlorine: I wonder why.
Kermit: Oh, jealousy mostly. But the point is that fear is natural.
Chlorine: Fear is for prey.
(Then he stormed away from the annoying frog)
Kermit: Well, then you're letting the water make you its prey.
(The idea hit Chlorine like a splash of cold water in the face. He stopped in his tracks and stared back at his friend)
Kermit: Just jump in, trust your instincts, and attack the water.
(He leapt into the bushes and crouched in diving position)
Kermit: You know, most people can swim as babies. And for a fish, it's like crawling on your belly to stalk cute, innocent, helpless prey.
(Kermit lowered himself down right next to Chlorine on a dangling vine. He swung around on the vine as if he were swimming through the air)
Kermit: But faster, okay? (instructing Chlorine) Now, claw, kick, claw, kick. I'm stalking the prey. Claw, kick.
(He lifted her head to demonstrate)
Kermit: Now, I look back over my shoulder to see if I'm being followed and I'm breathing… (INHALES)
(He made imaginary swimming strokes with his arms)
Kermit: And I'm stalking, and I'm stalking. And I'm… (SCREAMS)
(Chlorine reached up with his knife and sliced the rope)
Kermit: I'm falling.
(Splat! He hit the ground face first)
(Chlorine loomed over her)
Chlorine: Correction. You're sinking, kind of like a rock.
(INT. WILLOW MEADOW – EVENING. At the same time, Clamina was doing a different kind of sinking all her own. She and Calypso continued to marvel over his new identity)
Calypso: Oh! Hey, do we do any special tricks like roll over or do we just throw our weight around? Our species is so powerful! But, then, we're gentle, too.
(He nudged her with his shoulder and nearly knocked her over)
Clamina: (GRUNTS) Whoa!
Calypso: Whoops! Sorry. I don't know my own strength yet.
Clamina: Calypso, do you realize that now we have a chance to save our species?
Calypso: Really? How we gonna do that?
(She was afraid to look him in the eye)
Clamina: Oh, well, you know.
(Calypso thought for a second)
Calypso: Oh, uh-uh. Did you just…
CLAMINA: No, I didn't mean…
Calypso: Unbelievable! I'm not a Frost Prince for five minutes, and you're hitting on me?
Clamina: I wasn't saying… Not right now. Um, in time.
(Clamina tried to backpedal)
Clamina: I was just saying that it's our responsibility.
Calypso: What?
Clamina: Uh, all right. That came out wrong. I… You're very handsome, but we just met and…
Calypso: Responsibility? Just doing your duty, huh? Is that it? Ready to make the ultimate sacrifice to save your species.
Clamina: Uh…
Calypso: Well, I got some news for you. You're not saving the species tonight or any other night.
(He stormed off to find his friends)
(INT. ICE CAVE – EVENING. Clamina slunk over to the campfire next to Kermit, Chlorine, and Sven)
Chlorine: So, how did it go?
Clamina: Mmm. Not bad.
(A few minutes later, Calypso stomped into camp with Grotto and Sea Salt, extinguishing the campfire)
CALYPSO: Okay, let's go. We traveled with you all day. Now you're coming with us at night.
Clamina: But we can't see at night.
Calypso: (stomping off) Then enjoy the flood.
(Sea Salt threw Clamina a disgusted glance)
Sea Salt: I can't even look at her.
Grotto: Pervert!
(POPS the show doorman sticks above Clamina, hanging from the ice)
Pops: Just capture your species. You'll never escape.
(Kermit looked at Clamina and shook his head)
Kermit: Making friends. Everywhere you go, just making friends.
(Clamina shrugged sheepishly, as two sisters lined up obediently to follow Calypso out into the night)
(EXT. LOCAL POLICE STATION, MADRID – EVENING. Sam the Eagle had his head between his wings. Jean Pierre was so frustrated he was literally banging his head against a desk)
JEAN PIERRE: Okay. What about this comedian bear? He is too stupid to be stupid. He must be some sort of genius.
(Finally, Sam the Eagle conceded)
Sam the Eagle: Maybe your "Lemur" hunch is correct. (SIGHS)
(Although Jean Pierre wished it were that simple, he had just discovered a flyer)
Jean Pierre: Except for the fact that Les Muppets play tomorrow night at the Dublin Theatre. Which just happens to be next door to the Irish National Bank! Maybe your Muppet hunch is… Correct.
Sam the Eagle: It's almost as if we're…
Both: Not so different after all.
Jean Pierre: Come, come, mon ami! We must follow the Muppets to Dublin!
Sam the Eagle: To Dublin!
Jean Pierre: Après vous.
Sam the Eagle: No, no, after you.
Jean Pierre: No, après vous.
Sam the Eagle: No, please, after you.
Jean Pierre: Mon cher ami, après vous.
Sam the Eagle: I insist.
(INT. TRAIN CAR – EVENING. As Walter wanders around, he heard a voice)
CONSTANTINE: Kremlin!
(Walter looked out the door and saw that Constantine is karate-chopping wood)
Constantine: Putin!
(INT. PENTHOUSE, TOUR TRAIN – EVENING. Walter walked inside just in time to hear crazy music made by the Muppets (Zoot, Animal, Sweetums, Lips, Thog, Janice, Floyd, Marvin Suggs and his Muppaphone, Dr. Teeth))
MISS PIGGY: No, what are you doing?
(The Electric Mayhem went crazy and destroyed their instruments. Pepé hosted a gambling party)
Sean Combs: Okay, number five, baby. Blow.
Pepé: Come on.
(He blow the dice)
Sean Combs: There you go. You know the routine.
Pepé: Come on, Diddy Daddy!
(The dice show number five. They cheer!)
Walter: Hey, guys? Fellas?
(But things escalated quickly. Gonzo rode his motorcycle. It was absolutely out of control!)
Walter: (ducking) Ah!
(That was a close call!)
ZOOT: Whoa, man!
Sweetums: Hey, did you see that?
Walter: (WHISTLES LOUDLY)
(The music stopped)
Walter: Um, do you guys think that Kermit's been acting a little weird lately?
All: No.
(They were too busy having fun, too busy doing whatever they wanted)
Walter: (SIGHS) You're probably right. It's just me.
(Animal felt bored)
Animal: (SIGHING) Bad frog.
(EXT. MISTY CHASM – NIGHT. As the night wore on, a thick fog rolled in, and Chlorine and Sven took the lead while Grotto and Sea Salt used their agility and keen night vision to help them avoid hazards. Kermit and Clamina brought up the rear. Abruptly, Kermit stubs his toe on the stump)
Grotto: Watch out. There's a stump.
Kermit: (STRAINED) Not anymore.
(Clamina struggled to catch up with Calypso)
Clamina: I, uh… I thought we could walk together.
Calypso: Grotto, ask the Frost Princess why she thought that.
Grotto: He said he thinks you're a jerk and to go away.
Clamina: He didn't say– (Whack! Hits her forehead on a rock) Ow!
(She stopped herself and tried to speak calmly to Calypso)
Clamina: Look, maybe if we spend more time– (hits her leg on something) Ow!
Calypso: Tell her that I need a little personal space right now.
Grotto: He said go jump in a lake.
Sea Salt: And possums rule!
Clamina: I can hear him, you know?
Grotto: What do you want, a medal?
(Clamina shook her head)
(Suddenly, though the dense fog, they had accidentally walked right onto a high pile of tippy rocks!)
(The winter citizens gasped and shuffled to a stop. They felt the whole rock formation shifting under their feet. It was tilting from side to side, like a seesaw, between two cliffs)
All: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Calypso: Let's get off this thing!
(Calypso and the girls ran back back toward one of the cliffs, but the formation leaned and crashed against the cliff wall, sending the wall crumbling down, and leaving them all standing on a high, swaying island of rock)
Grotto & Sea Salt (Both): Aaaaaieeeee!
(Grotto and Sea Salt leaped into each other's arms, causing the formation to wobble even more)
Chlorine: Everybody relax! Stop moving!
CLAMINA: Whoa!
(They froze, and the rocks stopped swaying)
CHLORINE: Thank you.
(With that, the rock under theirs collapsed, and Chlorine, Sven, and Clamina fell to a rock below. Calypso and Kermit and the girls were still clinging to the larger rock above, but it began to tilt)
Chlorine: Clamina, Calypso! Lock arms!
(Clamina and Calypso eyed each other warily)
Chlorine: Now!
(Clamina reached her hand up and locked it with Calypso's. The big rock tipped backward. They anchored their feet and held on for dear life, together just barely keeping the rock in balance)
(Chlorine and Sven eyed the ledge opposite them and thought fast)
Chlorine: Grotto, Sea Salt! Grab on to that ledge!
(Sea Salt and Grotto peered over the edge of their rock. It was a long, long way to the ground and a long distance to the next ledge)
Sea Salt: Funny! Now what's your real plan?
Chlorine: Just do it! What I say!
(Grotto and Sea Salt turned and bade each other a teary-eyed farewell)
Grotto: Bye, Sea Salt.
Sea Salt: Bye, Grotto.
Grotto: Bye, Calypso!
Chlorine: Go now!
(The girls screamed and jumped)
(Sea Salt wrapped her leg around the rock and, holding Grotto by her hands, swung like a trapeze artist toward the ledge, while Clamina and Calypso hung on)
Clamina: Um, uh… I'm sorry if what I said before offended you.
Calypso: What do you mean, "if" it offended me?
(He pulled back, and the rocks began to tip)
(Grotto is desperate to help them patch things up before it was too late)
Grotto: That it offended her! That it offended her!
Clamina: I mean "that." That it offended you.
(Calypso inched closer)
Clamina: You just overreacted, that's all.
Calypso: What?
(He pulled back again and the rocks wobbled)
Grotto: Take it back!
Sea Salt: There are other lives at stake here!
Kermit: Wait a minute. She's got a point.
(The rocks shook)
Grotto: He's got nothing!
Kermit: It was a misunderstanding!
Sea Salt: It was insensitive!
(The rocks were teetering precariously)
Chlorine: Apologize, Clami! Now!
Clamina: Why me? He overreacted!
(The rocks pitched back and forth on the brink of collapse)
Sea Salt: This wouldn't be happening if Dad had let her date Cousin Vinnie.
Chlorine: Just apologize!
CLAMINA: No.
Chlorine: Do it!
Calypso: Okay. I'm sorry.
All: What?
(The rocks stopped wobbling and swaying)
Calypso: He's right. I overreacted.
Clamina: You mean you…
Chlorine: Not another word, or I'll come down there and push you over myself!
(Clamina buttoned her lips. The acrobatic girls were finally able to swing their rock over to the solid ledge. They hopped off to safety, followed by Kermit, then Clamina, Calypso, and Sven. The last one off, Chlorine leaped toward them just as the entire rock formation began to give way behind him. Calypso and Clamina caught him with Clamina's ice powers as the rock formation collapsed to the ground in a great thundering avalanche)
(Calypso glanced at Clamina, exhausted but triumphant)
Calypso: I guess we finally did something right together.
(Clamina stopped and looked at him)
CHLORINE: Hey, don't mind me. Just hanging off the edge of a cliff here. Ho-hoo.
(Clamina and Calypso flipped him up to safety, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief)
(When the fog lifted, they made their way down the hillside)
(INT. STAGE, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT. First, Kermit and Clamina stop by the Hall of Winter for auditions)
Kermit: Turn, turn, out, in, jump, step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch. Got it? From the top. A-five, six, seven, eight.
All: (SINGING) God, I hope I get it
I hope I get it
How many people does he need?
How many people does he need?
God, I hope I get it
I hope I get it
How many boys, how many girls?
How many boys, how many?
Look at all the people
At all the people
MAXIMUM WINTER LIBRARIAN: How many people does he need?
How many boys, how many girls?
How many people does he…
DANNY TREJO: I really need this job
Please, God, I need this job
I've got to get this job
Kermit: Good! Great! That's it, guys, that's it! That's good, guys! Come on! And hit it hard!
(Next is Clamina's turn)
Clamina: (SINGING) I really need this job
Please, God, I need this job
I've got to get this job
(The librarians improved)
Kermit: Okay. All right. Yes. (CLEARS THROAT) Uh, Clamina? I think perhaps we should perhaps, keep it prisoners only.
Clamina: Of course. I just love Broadway. But you are right, Kermit, as ever.
Kermit: Okay. Thank you. (CLEARS THROAT) First of all, I'm not sure if this is the best opening number. It's always good to start with an up-tempo song and dance and then go into a comedy routine. You really want to save your ballad until the end.
Big Papa: But we like Boyz II Men!
Library King: It is Big Papa's favorite song. Lot of emotions in that song for him.
Danny Trejo: I'm not learning no other song. I'm a triple threat! A singer, a dancer and a murderer!
(As the librarians raised their voices in protest, Kermit was reminded of the arguments he used to have with his fellow Muppet performers)
Animal: Drum solo! Drum solo!
Gonzo: When do I do the indoor running of the bulls?
Floyd: What about the band's marathon jam session?
Miss Piggy: Four of five musical numbers.
(Finally…)
Kermit: Quiet! Now, look! This song does not work. It's a six-part harmony, for crying out loud! Forget it, it's not happening. Now you…
(Big Papa stops Kermit by eyeballing him)
Kermit: You're… You're not eyeballing me. Are you eyeballing me?
Big Papa: No, no.
Kermit: Are you eyeballing me? Now, look! We are holding auditions next time. And if any of you have a problem with that, any of you, then my door is always open!
(Clamina was smitten with the stronger side of Kermit)
Clamina: Thank you, Kermit. This is what we've all been waiting to hear.
Kermit: You have?
Library King: Teach us, Kermit. We will do whatever frog say. Put it there.
(EXT. CHAMBER DOORS, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT. Kermit and Clamina got ready to leave. Trident stood beside them)
Trident: Good night, guys. Nice work today.
Kermit: Thanks, Trident.
Trident: Tonight I'm picking the frog up and taking him home. We certainly do.
Kermit: Good night.
(Trident walked off and say good night to the other librarians)
Trident: (O.S.) Good night, Big Papa.
Big Papa: (O.S.) 'Night, Trident.
Trident: (O.S.) Good night, Carl.
Big Mean Carl: (O.S.) Good night, Trident.
Trident: (O.S.) Good night, Library King.
Library King: (O.S.) Good night, Trident.
Trident: (O.S.) Good night, Skullcrusher.
Skullcrusher: (O.S.) Good night.
Trident: (O.S.) Good night, Danny Trejo.
Danny Trejo: (O.S.) Good night, Trident.
(EXT. BASE OF THE CLIFF – NIGHT. Kermit built a campfire. Soon everyone had flopped down around it to sleep)
Kermit: (SIGHS) Remember the good old days?
(He adjusted the rock beneath him)
Chlorine: Which good old days?
Kermit: Oh, you know, yesterday, last week… Back when the trees went up and down and the ground stayed under our feet?
Chlorine: Eww. (CHUCKLES) Yup. Those were the good days. Possums were possums, snowmen were snowmen, and Frost Citizens were Frost Citizens. We should get some sleep.
Kermit: Yeah. Three days' time's the day the vulture said that we're all gonna die.
(And with that, he laid his head on the rock and drifted off to sleep)
(Clamina stirred and peeked up at Calypso as he lifted the sleeping girls and hung them by their legs from a branch, kissed them each good night, and smoothed down the ruffled skin on hop their heads)
(Then he climbed the tree and wrapped his legs around a branch to sleep next to them. His weight bend the limb down so far that his arm was lying on the ground. Clamina fell back asleep, smiling)
(The bed that Kermit was sleeping on suddenly rose up off the ground and began moving away from the campfire)
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – NIGHT. He opened one eye. Either the whole landscape was moving or he was!)
Kermit: Wait a minute.
(He looked down over the side of the fan bed, only to discover that a team of TOADS was carrying it off)
Kermit: Uh, can I help you?
(EXT. FIRE CAMP, THE WINTER WOODS – NIGHT. As they approached a clearing, Kermit could see a whole tribe of toads waiting for them)
(He stared at them, and the toads stared googly-eyed back at him. They all dropped to their knees in unison. One reverent frog held up a large melon)
Kermit: For me?
(Before Kermit could grab it, the frog shoved it into Kermit's mouth, while another handed him a flower)
(He sniffed it)
Kermit: Aaaaachoooo!
(He sneezed melon all over one of the amphibians in the crowd, and she went into raptures of joy)
Kermit: Mmm. Now, that's what I call respect.
(Two toads placed a crown of flowers on Kermit's head)
Kermit: Ooh! Nice.
(The toads turned him so he was facing a gigantic fifty-foot-high sculpture of…himself)
Kermit: Somebody here likes Kermit. Who is your decorator? I mean, this is fabulous.
(The toads dumped him off his fan bed with a thud. The chief of the tribe solemnly pointed to the rocks in Kermit's hand)
Female Toad: Fire King. Rocks.
Kermit: Fire King? Hmm! Well, you know, it's about time someone recognized my true potential. Let there be fire!
(He smashed the rocks together and sparks flew, igniting the bubbling tar pit below the statue. Jets of fire exploded up into the air)
All: Oh!
(Kermit felt the hot sizzle! His feet stepped on the sizzling vine)
Kermit: (GASPS) Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!
Toads: Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!
(Kermit froze. The toads did the pose)
Kermit: Hey!
Toads: Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Kermit: Ahh! (WHOOPING)
Toads: (WHOOPING)
Kermit: (CHUCKLES) Wacka, wacka, wacka, wacka.
Toads: Wackaka, wackaka, wackaka, wackaka, wackaka, wackaka, wack!
Kermit: (HOOTING)
Toads: (HOOTING) (CHANTING, SQUEALING)
Kermit: (RHYTHMIC TONGUE CLICKING)
Toads: (RHYTHMIC TONGUE CLICKING)
Kermit: Humina, humina, humina, humina, humina, humina. (EXHALES)
Toads: Humina, humina, humina, humina, humina, humina, ooh!
(ALL VOCALIZING)
(Kermit strutted across the stage like a rock star, with plumes of fire shooting up all around him)
(A special toad brigade formed a mini pyramid and lifted Kermit up to the pinnacle. Kermit waved and blew kisses. The toads danced and spun through a dazzling display of pyrotechnics until the grand finale)
Kermit: If only the guys could see me now.
(He felt them wrapping a long rope around his body and pulling it tight)
Kermit: This is either really good or really bad.
(EXT. SACRIFICE ROOM, FIRE CAMP – NIGHT. The toads stopped before a deep crevasse, with a seething, bubbling tar pit at the bottom)
(Kermit panicked)
Kermit: (SCREAMS) Oh, no, no, no, no, no! Me Fire King. Why kill Fire King? A thousand years bad juju for killing Fire King.
Female Toad: Superheated rock from the Earth's core is surging to the crust, melting ice built up over thousands of years.
Kermit: You're a very advanced race. Together we can look for a solution!
Female Toad: We have one. Sacrifice the Fire King.
Kermit: Well, that's not very advanced.
Female Toad: Worth a shot.
(The toads pitched him into the pit)
Kermit: No! No! Aahhhhhhhhhh!
(The toads cheered. They lifted their little arms and danced)
(Kermit felt his head burn off in the intense heat as he plummeted down to his fiery doom. But like a natural bungee cord, the rope caught and held him just before he hit the bottom. He grabbed hold of something–a giant dinosaur bone! All around him, dinosaur skeletons gleamed in the flaming mist. As he let go, the bungee vine sprang up, sending Kermit rocketing up out of the pit)
(The amphibians cheered even louder! Then down he plummeted again, this time getting tangled in a big pile of bones)
(With one last hurrah, the amphibians declared the Fire King dead)
(But at that moment, a huge dinosaur skeleton sprang up out of the pit, flew through the air, and crashed on top of the statue of Kermit. The amphibians saw Kermit trapped inside the skeleton)
Female Toad: Bad juju!
(The crowd screamed in terror. Bats flew out of the statue's nose, and Kermit used one of the bones to bat at them. Suddenly, the whole monument began to crumble and the toads scurried for cover)
(Kermit went flying into a deep ravine. He tumbled down the side and landed, hard, on the ground)
(EXT. ICE CLIFF, THE WINTER WOODS – NIGHT. Kermit woke up in the heap of skeleton bones next to the edge of the ice cliff)
CLAMINA: Kermit.
(Clamina found Kermit)
Clamina: Where were you?
Kermit: I was sleep walking.
Clamina: Sleep walking?
Kermit: A tribe of amphibians worshipped me. It's amazing.
Clamina: (cautious, polite) Thank you. I never knew what I was capable of.
(Kermit starts to walk forward)
Kermit: I'm so sorry about what happened. If I'd known…
(Clamina backs up, away from Kermit)
Clamina: (on guard) No, no, no. It's okay. You don't have to apologize, but you should probably go. Please.
Kermit: But the toads worshipped me.
Clamina: You belong in IGP Inc. world tour.
Kermit: So do you.
(Kermit takes another step up. Clamina backs up more)
Clamina: No, Kermit, I belong here. Alone. Where I can be who I am with hurting anybody.
Kermit: Actually, about that…
CALYPSO: Fifty eight, fifty nine, sixty!
Clamina: Wait. What is that?
(Calypso comes running to the cliff. He waves)
Calypso: Hi! I'm Calypso and I like warm hugs!
Clamina: (shocked) Calypso?
(Calypso stops beside Kermit, looks up at Clamina, intimidated)
Calypso: (bashful) Yeah. You built me. Remember that?
Clamina: (astonished) And you're alive?
Calypso: Um… I think so.
(Kermit kneels down beside Calypso)
Kermit: He's just like the one you and Grotto and Sea Salt built as kids. Clamina, we were so close. We can be like that again.
(Clamina smiles, but then a memory returns to her)
YOUNG CLAMINA: Catch me!
YOUNG SEA SALT: Slow down!
(FLASHBACK: Young Clamina is struck by Sea Salt's powers)
Young Sea Salt: Clami!
(Young Clamina falls unconscious. Young Sea Salt races to her)
(THE PRESENT: Clamina's face sinks in pain)
Clamina: No. We can't.
(Clamina turns and heads up the second story steps)
Clamina: Goodbye, Kermit.
Kermit: Clami, wait.
Clamina: (calling back) No, I'm just trying to protect you.
(Clamina continues to flee. Kermit pursues)
Kermit: You don't have to protect me. I'm not afraid. Please don't shut me out again.
(Kermit sings)
("First Time in Forever, Reprise")
Kermit: Please don't slam the door.
You don't have to keep your distance anymore.
'Cause for the first time in forever,
I finally understand.
For the first time in forever,
We can fix this hand in hand.
We can unlock our secret together.
You don't have to live in fear.
'Cause for the first time in forever,
I will be right here.
(They arrive on the top floor, Clamina's main living space. Clamina turns back to Kermit, grateful, but determined)
Clamina: Kermit. Please go back home.
Your life awaits.
Go enjoy the sun
And open up the gates.
Kermit: Yeah, but…
Clamina: I know! You mean well,
But leave me be.
Yes, I'm alone but I'm alone and free.
(Clamina reaches the second cliff)
Clamina: Just stay away and you'll be safe from me.
Kermit: Actually, we're not.
Clamina: What do you mean you're not?
Kermit: I get the feeling you don't know?
Clamina: What do I not know?
Kermit: The Winter Woods' in deep, deep, deep, deep soak.
Clamina: What?
(Clamina looks past Kermit's shoulder out white-peaked mountains)
Kermit: You kind of set off an eternal winter everywhere.
Clamina: Everywhere?
Kermit: Well. it's okay, you can just unlock the secret.
Clamina: No, I can't. I don't know how.
Kermit: Sure you can. I know you can.
(Snow starts to swirl around the cliff)
Kermit: 'Cause for the first time in forever,
Clamina: (panicking) Oh, I'm such a fool!
I can't be free!
Kermit: You don't have to be afraid.
Clamina: No escape from the storm inside of me!
(The snow picks up. Kermit tries to fight through it)
Kermit: We can work this out together.
Clamina: I can't control the curse!
Kermit: We'll reverse the storm you've made.
Clamina: Kermit, please you'll only make it worse!
Kermit: Don't panic.
Clamina: There's so much fear!
Kermit: We'll make the sun shine bright.
Clamina: You're not safe here!
Kermit: We can face this thing together
(But as Kermit sings, we lose sight of him in the thickening blizzard taking over the cliff)
Clamina: No!
Kermit: (O.S.) We can change this deluge weather,
And everything will be…
(Kermit's voice disappears in the storm as Clamina cries out)
Clamina: I can't!
(Clamina's fear, so strong, sucks the blizzard back into her and then it bursts out, unwittingly, like a sharp snowflake)
(Kermit is STRUCK right in the heart. He grasps his chest in pain and stumbles back. He falls to his knees)
(Clamina gasps when sees Kermit. Just then, Calypso and Chlorine rush into the room to Kermit's side)
CHLORINE: Kermit! Are you okay?
Kermit: I'm okay. I'm fine.
(Kermit gets to his feet)
Clamina: (scared) What have I done? (to Kermit, desperate) I'm so sorry, Kermit.
Kermit: I know we can figure this out together.
(Until, they heard a loud crack. The ice crest beneath them was collapsing!)
Clamina: Uh, Kermit?
(But the ice give away and they all plummet. Clamina fluttered into the air. But Kermit panicked)
Kermit: I can't fly!
Clamina: Kermit!
(The frost princess use her ice powers to reach out to rescue Kermit, but her sister's weight was too much for her)
Clamina: Hold on. Hold on!
Kermit: I'm slipping!
(Clamina lost her grip on Kermit, and they both screamed as they tumbled down through the ice and snow. Then, out of nowhere, Fiona the lynx appeared beneath them. The sisters landed on his back with a soft thump, and Fiona skillfully dodged the avalanche flow just in time. He carried Kermit and Clamina to safety)
Trident: That's it, Fiona. That's it. Whoo! Are you guys all right?
Kermit: Yeah.
Clamina: Yeah.
Trident: Are you sure? Nothing broken? Nothing bruised?
Kermit: No. We're okay.
Trident: (SIGHS) This time. Lord Milori was right. Crossing the border is just too dangerous.
Kermit: What are you saying?
Trident: I'm sorry, guys, but I'm afraid this isn't going to work out like you hoped. We have to take Kermit the Frog home.
(Kermit and Clamina looked at Trident, stunned)
Kermit: Good grief.
Trident: Let's go, Fiona.
(Fiona led the way, with Kermit and Clamina riding on his back. The sisters held hands and Fiona brought them to the border)
(EXT. BOUNDARY, INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL PAVILION INC. – NIGHT.)
Trident: It's… It's for your own good.
(When they reached the edge, the two citizens remained quiet for a moment. They watched the soft snow curtain falling between IGP Inc. and winter)
(Kermit looked sadly at his sister. He gently pulled her hand away and began to walk back over the border. Clamina, with tears in her eyes, rushed to embrace her sister before he could cross. Trident sniffled and turned to face the other way)
Trident: (WHIMPERING) I can't watch, Fiona. (SNIFFLING) I promised myself I wasn't going to do this.
(Kermit peeked over Clamina's shoulder to make sure Trident wasn't paying attention)
Kermit: Okay. Here's the plan. Meet me in Dublin tomorrow.
Clamina: Oh, thank goodness. I thought you were really saying goodbye.
Kermit: No! I just met my sister and went on the journey to escape the flood I never knew I had and I'm going to say goodbye forever? Are you kidding? So…
(Kermit whispered his plan. Whatever his sister needed, he would get it. He wasn't going to let her down!)
(INT. TOUR TRAIN – NIGHT. Kermit knocked on the penthouse door)
Kermit: Pound? Nerdlucks?
(There were sounds of scuffling inside, followed by the door slowly opening. Kermit peered around the train)
Kermit: Guys?
(Foomp! A net suddenly shot out and wrapped around him)
Kermit: Aagh!
(Pound stepped out with her spring-loaded troll-stopping gun in hand. A look of surprise crossed her face when she saw Kermit trapped in a net)
Pound: Oopsie.
(Bang, Nawt, Bupkus, and Blanko stepped out too)
Bang: (GASPS) Kermit! You're back!
Kermit: Yes. (CHUCKLES)
(He is slightly annoyed by the unexpected greeting. He wriggled against the net)
POUND: Sorry! We thought you were a troll.
Kermit: A troll?
Nawt: I knew we shouldn't have used the troll stopper.
Pound: What if it was a troll? You'd be saying something different, wouldn't you?
Kermit: Guys. It doesn't matter.
Pound: Oh, right.
Kermit: I need your help.
Pound: Is it about a glacier?
Kermit: No. But it's kind of a secret. I don't want everybody to know.
(The Nerdlucks exchanged a glance. They looked at him with interest. When Kermit had a secret plan in mind, they knew something exciting was about to start)
(INT. PENTHOUSE, TOUR TRAIN – NIGHT. Soon, Kermit and the Nerdlucks were busy at work. Kermit, Bang, and Nawt hammered away at a mysterious-looking contraption, while Pound, Bupkus, and Blanko went to collect parts for them to use)
Kermit: I'm pretty sure these buttons will work, but we're going to need more of them.
Bang: Yeah, unless we use a couple of pipes.
Kermit: Right! Good idea.
Nawt: Now where is that Poundy?
POUND: Oh, yes, I'm right here.
Kermit: Oh!
(Pound, Blanko, and Bupkus wheeled the cart of extra supplies. Kermit looked up to see what he had brought…and instead saw Dr. Teeth, Scooter, Janice, Gonzo, Floyd, Beaker, Zoot, and Rowlf standing next to her)
Pound: I didn't tell everybody. Just Dr. Teeth, Scooter, Janice, Gonzo, Floyd, Beaker, Zoot, and Rowlf.
Gonzo: So there's another you.
Floyd: Gonzo!
Kermit: Yeah. I've got a sister.
Pound: (CHUCKLES) I told you!
Floyd: Bust my drums.
DR. TEETH: Amazing!
SCOOTER: It's fantastic!
Gonzo: I can't believe this is happening.
Rowlf: But how?
Pound: They were born of the same laugh! Tell them, Kermit, what you told me and Nawt.
(Kermit stepped forward)
Kermit: Her name's Clamina. She's a Frost Princess, and she's just amazing. I'm making this machine so she can come to Dublin and meet you all, and after that we'll go straight to Queen Melody!
(The Muppets (Zoot, Beaker, Scooter, Rowlf, Floyd, Gonzo, Camilla, Dr. Teeth, Janice) exchanged worried glances)
Dr. Teeth: Oh…
Gonzo: Um, have you thought this through? "Hi, Queen Melody. Meet the winter princess I smuggled over the border."
Floyd: Gonzo!
Kermit: When Queen Melody hear how we found each other, and that we're sisters, she will change Lord Milori's rule.
Floyd: Oh, of course she will.
Rowlf: She'd never want you to be apart.
Dr. Teeth: It's like you found the perfect lost thing.
Kermit: And I'm never, ever going to lose her.
Rowlf: Well, then, let's get to work!
Scooter: Just tell us what to do.
Kermit: Great! Okay. We need to place that wheel right here.
ROWLF: Got you, Kermit.
Kermit: And let's get that propped up over there.
FLOYD: I feel so inventive.
Kermit: Nerdlucks…
Blanko: Wait, wait. Finish up the chassis?
Kermit: Exactly.
Nawt: Come on, Poundy!
Pound: Nawt! Perhaps you and I are partners! It's possible. We look almost exactly alike.
(He was so happy that his friends were going to help him with his plan. With everyone working together, he just knew everything would turn out perfectly. He had the best friends from Moron Mountain!)
(And soon his friends would see that he had the best sister in IGP Inc., too)
(INT. BASE OF THE CLIFF – MORNING. By the time the sun was up, the team's campsite was getting soggy)
(Chlorine leapt up from his sleep)
Chlorine: (GROANS) Water? Water!
(Before he even knew what he was doing, he'd jumped up on Clamina's back)
(Clamina woke up, startled, and they tipped over against the winter citizens' tree. Grotto, Sea Salt, and Calypso splashed down, one, three, three)
(Sea Salt rolled his eyes at her sister)
Sea Salt: Grotto, I told you not to drink before bed.
Grotto: I didn't do this! At least not all of it.
Calypso: What's happening?
Clamina: We overslept. We need to move.
Sea Salt: What if we're the last citizens left alive? We'll have to repopulate the Earth!
Grotto: How? Everyone's either a dude or our brother.
Clamina: What a night. You'll never guess what happened to Kermit.
Chlorine: I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Kermit was sleepwalking.
Clamina: Oh, no, no, no. He was kidnapped by a tribe of amphibians.
Chlorine: That was gonna be my second guess.
Clamina: And they worshipped him! I mean, sure, they tossed him into a flaming tar pit, but they worshipped him.
Calypso: He was dreaming.
Clamina: The water's rising faster than we're moving. Kermit wants me to meet him at Dublin. We're going to the University of Winter and get the ice block from my frost professor, Wave. Next, I'll visit Dublin, and I'll meet Queen Melody. After this, she'll put an end to Lord Milori's rule before the flood comes in two days' time.
Calypso: Then let's get going.
(INT. BEDROOM, CASTLE – MOMENTS LATER. They didn't know it, but Clamina had a locker full of Kermit pictures and memorabilia)
Clamina: You are always right, my beautiful amphibian prince. I will never let you go.
(Sea Salt interrupts to alert her)
Sea Salt: Hurry up! There is an earthquake.
Clamina: Can't you see I'm busy?
(Sea Salt leaves and Clamina kisses the Kermit picture)
(EXT. BOUNDARY, DUBLIN – DAY. All was silent at the border between Dublin and winter. Not a single citizen was in sight. Quietly, a large shamrock from Dublin and a large snowflake from winter drifted closer to the dividing line. Then the shamrock and the snowflake began to glow. It was Kermit and Clamina!)
Kermit: Anyone see you?
Clamina: No. I can't believe we're doing this!
(The two friends tossed aside their disguises)
Kermit: So, did you bring it?
Clamina: Yes. (WHISTLES)
(A moment later, her friends Grotto, Calypso, Sea Salt, Chlorine, and Professor Wave came out of hiding. They were holding ropes that were tied securely around a huge block of ice)
Calypso: Watch the branch.
(ALL GRUNTING)
Calypso: Careful. More to the right.
Sea Salt: For the record, we shouldn't be doing this, whatever it is we're doing.
(But the other citizens seemed more cheerful. They set the heavy block of ice down on the bridge that connected the two seasons)
Calypso: As ordered. One big block of ice.
Grotto: Courtesy of the resident ice professor.
Wave: Hey.
Clamina: So, what do you think?
Kermit: It's perfect! (WHISTLES)
Sea Salt: Uh, are you sure he's not luring you into a trap?
(A moment later, the Nerdlucks rolled out a large contraption on wheels. It was covered with tubes, pulleys, ropes, and spinning fans)
Grotto: Oh! It's one of those…
Sea Salt: Things we shouldn't be doing?
(The Nerdlucks popped out from behind the giant invention)
Bang: It's the snowmaker!
Pound: It makes snow!
Kermit: Yep, this is your ticket to the warm side of Dublin.
(Clamina couldn't believe it. She was actually going to be able to travel to the warm seasons! She took a step forward but then felt Sea Salt pull her back)
Sea Salt: Wait a second. This is crazy! You don't even know if this thing works!
Pound: (LAUGHS) Oh, it works, all right.
Nawt: Yeah, we made it ourselves!
Sea Salt: Of course you did. Just walk away.
Clamina: How does it work?
Kermit: Guys?
Pound: Pull.
(Pound moved a lever on the cart and the machine turned around)
Bang: Move this around here.
Blanko: You might want to step aside for this part.
(In a flash, a large claw on the back of the snowmaker lifted the cube of ice)
Winter Citizens: (ALL EXCLAIM)
CALYPSO: Ha! They're serious.
(The Nerdlucks reeled the ice in. Bang stepped onto the bike and start pedaling. A sharp grater on the machine began shaving off thin chips from the block. Soon, snowflakes began pouring out of a tube at the top)
Clamina: (GASPING) Snow!
Calypso: Wow.
Clamina: You did it! You actually did it!
(Kermit felt the flurry of snowflakes)
Kermit: Ooh! It's cold. So?
Sea Salt: Hmm.
Grotto: Go, go on.
Wave: Live it, man.
(Cautiously, Clamina flew over the border and into the column of snow. She looked unsteady for a moment. But then the cold flakes from the snowmaker swirled around her, making her feel right at home)
Clamina: Whoa!
(It was as cold as winter, even though she was on the other side of the border)
POUND: Welcome, Miss Winkle.
Clamina: Thank you.
(Pound adjusted a few levers on the snowmaker)
Pound: All right! Your tour begins with Trinity College. Next it's a quick stop in the Christ Church Cathedral. And finally, the Dublin Theatre, which, as you know, makes all show life possible.
Bang: Yes, that's where you'll be meeting her majestiness, the queen.
Clamina: The queen?
Grotto: They're going to see the queen!
(Kermit hadn't told Clamina about this part of the plan. The frost princess glanced nervously at Kermit)
Kermit: She's very wise. And if we tell her we're sisters, she'll change Lord Milori's rule.
Grotto: That is so exciting! Say hi for me, or curtsy, or whatever it is you do.
Clamina: Sure.
Grotto: And bring me back an acorn. A big one!
Kermit: After you.
Clamina: Thank you. Bye!
(And she headed off with Kermit and the Nerdlucks into Dublin)
GROTTO: (SQUEALS) I can't believe I'm going to get an acorn! Finally! That is so exciting!
(As the friends left, no one noticed a large, snowy owl watching them from high above on a tree branch. The owl waited until the citizens had disappeared. Then with a soft hoot, it quickly took flight to warn his master of what it had witnessed)
(INT. BEDROOM, TOUR TRAIN – DAY. As the train pulled into the Dublin station, Walter spotted Dominic out the window, looking shifty)
WALTER: Well, well, well. What's he up to?
(He grabbed a trench coat and followed Dominic to Dublin, careful to keep himself hidden)
(EXT. DUBLIN – DAY. Walter followed Dominic as he went down an escalator, ice-skated across a pond, and even had his portrait painted by a street artist. Finally, Dominic entered a garden gnome warehouse)
(INT. GARDEN GNOME WAREHOUSE – DAY. Creeping into the warehouse, Walter saw Dominic sitting with two men. Walter hid behind a corner, but close enough so he could hear what was being said)
DOMINIC: Gentlemen. I need this review to go into Friday's paper. Super positive. Five stars.
Irish Journalist: I won't be paid off for a review. I'm a journalist. I'm joking, of course. Cash or credit?
(Walter tries to get closer, accidentally knocking over the garden gnome statue. The three men looked back while Walter poses the statue)
Irish Journalist: What was that?
Dominic: Rats. Who cares?
(He handed the man a suitcase full of cash. Then he turned to the other man, a theater manager)
Dominic: Hand these tickets out to anyone who will take one. In fact, you may have to actually pay people to come.
(He slid another suitcase of cash to the theater manager)
(Walter covered his mouth so they wouldn't hear his gasp!)
Theater Manager: It's the Muppets. It's not gonna be easy. Last time they were here, they sold eight tickets. I'm a theater manager, not a miracle worker.
Dominic: Mmm. Oh. And I want a standing ovation.
(He slid a third suitcase of cash over to the men)
Irish Journalist: Oh, dear.
Walter: (to himself) Where does he keep all those suitcases?
(INT. FOZZIE'S TRAIN CAR, TOUR TRAIN – DAY. While Fozzie was munching on his cheeseburger from McDonald's, he read a newspaper. On the front page, it read: EUROPE'S MOST WANTED FROG: CONSTANTINE, BACK BEHIND THE BARS)
FOZZIE: Hmm. Let's see here.
(The cheese is dropped from the cheeseburger and into Kermit's picture)
Fozzie: What's Kermit doing on the cover of this newspaper?
(He wiped the cheese off of the picture. Fozzie SCREAMS! I knew it! He thought. It's Kermit's resemblance when the mole was covered!)
(Silently slipping away, Walter made it back unseen to the train station)
Walter: (PANTING) Oh! Ow! Dominic's the bad guy! Dominic's the bad guy!
(He barged into Fozzie's train car)
Walter: Fozzie! Dominic's the reason we've been selling out our shows! He's been giving away tickets and bribing journalists to write great reviews!
Fozzie: (GROANS) Why didn't we ever think of doing that?
(He saw Walter's horrified look)
Walter: Huh?
Fozzie: I mean, that's terrible!
Walter: The question is, why? And could it have anything to do with why Kermit's been acting so weird lately?
Fozzie: You think he's been acting weird?
Walter: I've only known Kermit a few months, but hasn't he been doing a lot more karate than normal?
(Fozzie shook his head dismissively)
Fozzie: It's probably Dominic's influence. Hey, wanna see something funny?
(He showed Walter a newspaper)
Walter: Yes, Constantine, the world's most dangerous frog. Fozzie, what does he have to do with what I just told you?
Fozzie: Nothing, but check this out. A-ha!
(He put his finger over the mole on Constantine's picture)
Walter: Oh, look, it's Kermit.
(Fozzie nodded)
FOZZIE: A-ha!
(He removed his finger from Constantine's picture)
Walter: (SHRIEKS) What did you do with Kermit?
(Suddenly, Walter had a thought)
Walter: Wait a minute. Fozzie… What if Kermit has been replaced by this Constantine guy?
(Fozzie considered it. Then he frowned)
Fozzie: Nah, that's impossible. We'd all notice! Wouldn't we?
(INT. OFFICE, TOUR TRAIN – DAY. Just to make sure, he and Walter knocked on Kermit's door)
Walter: Kermit? Are… Are you there? Hello?
FOZZIE: Kermit?
(There was no answer)
Fozzie: Everything's fine. Let's get out of here.
(He was scared and certainly didn't want to find out that their suspicions might be right)
(But Walter held on to Fozzie)
Walter: Wait! We should look around.
(They entered the room. Fozzie went left; Walter went right. Fozzie opened a suitcase–it was full of guns! Walter opened a dresser drawer–it was full of knives and explosives!)
Fozzie: Huh. Kermit's got a big bomb collection.
(Fozzie noticed a portrait on the table labeled "Madrid Prado Museum Heist")
Fozzie: Looks like he's planning some sort of comedy heist bit.
Walter: I hope not. Those never work.
Fozzie: Mmm.
(Walter notices something on a table)
WALTER: What's that?
(He headed over to a table and discovered a tub of green makeup)
Walter: (GASPS) Oh, no.
Fozzie: What, what, what? What?
Walter: Oh, no.
(Walter stuck his finger in the makeup and put it over the mole in the newspaper photo. He and Fozzie looked at each other)
Both: Ahhhrrrggghhhhh!!
Fozzie: We got to get out of here!
Walter: Yeah!
(Fozzie and Walter turned to see Constantine standing at the door, glaring menacingly. His mole was showing, making it clear who he was)
Constantine: Not so fast.
Walter: Where's Kermit? And why are you here?
Fozzie: What do you want?
Constantine: You have wocka-ed your last wocka, bear.
(Was this the end for Fozzie and Walter?)
(Suddenly, Animal came out of nowhere and tackled Constantine)
Animal: Bad frog!
FOZZIE: Animal! Oh, good boy!
Walter: Great job!
Animal: Thank you.
(But it wasn't over yet, Constantine woke up and put jaws in his mouth)
(On a nearby track, a freight train trundled past. Walter spotted it)
Walter: Quick! The freight train!
(He and Fozzie jumped, with Animal following behind. They all landed safely)
(INT. FREIGHT TRAIN – DAY. As the two trains became farther away from each other, Walter looked back and saw Constantine looking menacingly at them)
Fozzie: We got to go back! Warn the others!
Walter: I tried. Thy didn't believe me. It's our word against his and, well, he's fooled them all.
(Fozzie thought for a moment)
Fozzie: Should we go to the police?
(Walter shook his head)
Walter: We don't have any evidence! (SIGHING) I feel terrible. I'm the one who talked Kermit into doing this tour in the first place.
Fozzie: Oh, I wish Kermit was here! He would know what to do.
(Walter looked up, then stood, suddenly determined)
Walter: You're right. There's only one guy in this world who can save us. Only one frog who can restore order, bring justice, and set things right!
Fozzie: (unsure) You are talking about Kermit, right?
Walter: Yes, Fozzie. Kermit. Besides, he has a sister from winter!
(EXT. DUBLIN – DAY. The warm side at Dublin amazed Clamina. Everything was so different than in the Winter Woods. So lively! Guests of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Scampered about. But the best part was seeing the fish. They really did swim in the ocean!)
CLAMINA: Wow.
McClain Sisters: (SINGING) Just when we thought life couldn't get much better
(EXT. RIVER LIFFEY – DAY. The Nerdlucks kept the snowmaker cranking a steady stream of snowflakes over Clamina everywhere she went–even while she floated down the river on a canoe)
McClain Sisters: A wish we never knew we made came true
Worlds that were apart have come together
(As they drifted down the stream, Kermit glanced up the boardwalk overhead. The Muppets (Zoot, Rowlf, Janice, Floyd, Beaker, Dr. Teeth, Scooter) were hiding there with Gonzo and Camilla on the cannon)
FLOYD: There she is!
Rowlf: She's so wintery.
McClain Sisters: We'll be friends no matter what the weather
Dr. Teeth: This is so exciting!
Scooter: Wait for the signal.
McClain Sisters: Wait until you see the wondrous things that we can do here with you
(Kermit winked, giving them the signal. It was time to show his sister what the warm-weather citizens could really do)
Scooter: That's it. Operation Clamina in effect.
(Dr. Teeth lit the fuse and BOOM! Gonzo and Camilla blasted through on the magical jet pack and made the smoky arc above the sisters' heads. When Clamina looked up, she was delighted to see fish swimming in a bubble of water right over her)
McClain Sisters: We're on your side
We're on your side
(EXT. DUBLIN – DAY. Beaker was up next. They flew the magical jet packs and made fireworks of stars. Clamina gasped when she saw all the colors)
McClain Sisters: Let's take this ride
Let's take this ride
And together we're facing the world
Doing things nobody's done before
(Kermit motioned Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. At the signal from Floyd and Janice, hundreds of butterflies filled the air)
McClain Sisters: And the great divide
Doesn't seem so wide
Clamina: Butterflies!
(The Muppets (Janice, Gonzo, Camilla, Dr. Teeth, Floyd, Beaker, Rowlf, Zoot, Scooter) came walking down at once)
All: Surprise!
Clamina: Oh! Your friends did all this?
Kermit: They wanted to surprise you. Everyone, this is Clamina, my sister.
ROWLF: This is so exciting.
Dr. Teeth: Oh, wow!
Rowlf: Can you believe it?
Floyd: Hey. It is nice to meet you. I am Floyd Pepper. This is…
Gonzo: Floyd, she's a Winter Citizen. She's not from the moon.
Floyd: Oh, right. I know, I know. I'm just so excited!
Clamina: It’s great to meet all of you.
Dr. Teeth: This is so remarkable! You two are sisters!
Gonzo: Yeah. A little citizen-to-citizen advice. Kermit can be tricky to get along with at times.
Kermit: Yeah. Look who's talking?
Scooter: We can't believe you're over here!
Rowlf: So… Are you cold enough?
Clamina: Oh, yeah. It's perfect.
(She did a little spin inside her cone of snow. Oops)
Clamina: Oh! (CHUCKLES)
(She went back into the cone of snow)
All: Aw!
(Floyd brought something for her)
Floyd: Oh, I nearly forget. This is for you, man. It's called a clamina also.
(He hands the winter citizen over the delicate blue flower)
Clamina: Thank you. I'll keep it forever.
(She waved her hand across the flower and instantly it was encased in a thin layer of frost. The warm-weather Muppets were amazed)
Floyd: Look at that!
Kermit: It's frost. She and her friends practice in the Frost Forest. You should see it!
Clamina: Oh, you should see Kermit on ice skates. (CHUCKLES) She's a natural.
Kermit: It's only because you had that lost thing.
Gonzo: Uh, she collects lost things, too?
Both: Yeah!
DR. TEETH: You guys are so alike.
(They couldn't believe Kermit actually had a sister)
Kermit: I know. Even our wings are identical. That's why they sparkle. Let's show them.
(Suddenly, the frost princess sank to the ground. They notice Clamina's wings slowly beginning to droop)
Clamina: I don't feel so…
Kermit: Oh! Clamina!
(Kermit rushed to his sister's side)
SCOOTER: Is she all right?
Floyd: I think she's getting a little too hot.
Clamina: My wings… I can't feel them.
(The frost princess's wings were beginning to wilt)
Clamina: I think they're too warm.
(Bang and the Nerdlucks looked up at the snowmaker. He was pedaling quickly to keep the snow coming. But he realized that the snowflakes were starting to dwindle)
Bang: Oh, the snowmaker!
(Pound checked the grater at the back of the snowmaker. The cube of ice is melting!)
Pound: It's running out of ice!
Scooter: We have to get her back to the border!
Clamina: Kermit, what about the queen?
Kermit: There's no time. Pound, grab some ice. We'll wrap her wings.
(Everyone sprang into action, scraping up fallen snow to surround Clamina's drooping wings)
Kermit: Be careful. Gentle. Easy.
(The Muppets wrapped and tie it up in plastic wrappers)
Kermit: Okay. Let's go. Hurry!
(MOMENTS LATER. Together, they (Dr. Teeth, Pound, Scooter, Beaker, Nawt, Rowlf, Janice, Bupkus, Floyd, Zoot, Blanko) all pushed the snowmaker toward the border)
POUND: All together. All together.
FLOYD: All together.
DR. TEETH: Hurry!
(Dr. Teeth and Pound push the back of the machine. Rowlf pushes the left side of the machine)
Rowlf: Come on! We can do this!
(The Muppets push the machine down the Dublin road. Scooter pushes the melting ice cube against the grater)
Scooter: Hurry!
(Bang pedals as fast as his legs could go but the snowflakes are dwindling faster)
Bang: Go, go, go!
(Kermit, Gonzo, and Camilla carry Clamina and fly as fast as Bang can pedal)
Kermit: Hold on. We're almost there.
(He turned to Clamina. But his heart sank when he saw the strained look on Clamina's face. They were running out of time)
BUPKUS: Hurry! It's nearly out of ice!
KERMIT: Not much further.
(Lord Milori was waiting with his snowy owl from above)
(EXT. BOUNDARY, DUBLIN – DAY. As the machine used a last bit of ice and the snowflakes stopped coming…)
Kermit: Don't worry. We're almost there.
Gonzo: We're going to make it. We're going to make it!
(Kermit, Gonzo, and Camilla tumbled back with Clamina across the border. The winter citizen fell to the ground in the minute they crossed the bridge. Clamina is too weak to even stand)
Kermit: Let me help you.
(Kermit helped unwrap his sister's wings. When the snow fell away, Kermit's hands flew to his mouth. Instead of being iridescent and sparkling, Clamina's wings were brown and wilted)
Kermit: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
(Just then, the Muppets (Scooter, Kermit, Gonzo, Camilla, Rowlf, Janice, Floyd, Beaker, Dr. Teeth, Zoot) caught sight of Lord Milori as he hurried toward the injured frost princess)
Kermit: Please, can you help her?
Gonzo: Kermit.
(It was getting too cold for them. Gonzo pulled Kermit back across the bridge to safety)
(Lord Milori knelt down beside Clamina and placed his hands on her shoulders)
Lord Milori: Gently. Lift your wings. Let the cold surround them.
(Slowly, Clamina woke up and raised her wings. Little by little, as the cold air swirled around her, Clamina's wings began to regain their shimmer and color. She tried to flutter them, and sighed with relief when they worked)
Kermit: You're okay. Your wings are okay.
Clamina: Yeah. Yeah.
Lord Milori: This is why we do not cross the border.
Clamina: No, it could've worked! We just needed a bigger piece of ice!
Lord Milori: And when that was gone? Your wings could have broken.
Clamina: But they didn't. I'm fine. Thanks to them.
(She pointed to Kermit and his friends on the other side of the bridge. Lord Milori looked at Kermit and the other warm-weather citizens. His expression grew harder)
Lord Milori: The rule is there to protect you. I'm sorry. You two may never see each other again. (He stood to leave)
Clamina: Please don't do this. We really belong together.
Kermit: We're sisters. We were born of the same laugh.
(At this, Lord Milori paused. Then he looked back)
Lord Milori: All the more reason you should want to keep each other safe. Return home.
(A tear escaped from Clamina's eye. How could the best day of her life be ending so horribly?)
Gonzo: Come on, Kermit. Let's go back to the train station.
(Kermit felt angry and hurt)
Kermit: No!
(He glared at Lord Milori)
Kermit: Lord Milori, your rule will not keep us apart.
QUEEN MELODY: Kermit the Frog.
(Kermit turned. It was QUEEN MELODY who is standing a short distance away)
Queen Melody: This is not Lord Milori's rule. It's mine.
Kermit: Queen Melody?
(He couldn't believe that the queen of Disneyland was keeping him from his sister)
Queen Melody: I'm sorry.
(Kermit and Clamina looked at one another across the bridge. Their plan to be together was falling apart)
Lord Milori: You should get deeper into the cold. Back to the north side of the mountain.
(But Clamina couldn't bear it. She rushed to the edge of the bridge and threw her arms around Kermit. They had been so happy together during the day, and now they weren't sure if they'd ever see each other again. Clamina squeezed her sister tight, and they hugged for a long while. Then Clamina flew away. Kermit watched her go. With slumped shoulders, he followed his Muppet friends back down into Dublin)
(Queen Melody and Lord Milori were left alone on the bridge. The princess looked up at him, and her eyes grew sad. She turned to walk away)
(Without a word, Lord Milori mounted his owl and rose high into the air. But before he headed deeper into winter, he steered his owl to swoop down and knock the snowmaker off the bridge. The machine tumbled into the riverbed below. He wanted to be certain that no citizen would ever try such a dangerous stunt again)
(His owl flapped its wings, and they flew off into the cold. As the Lord of Winter disappeared over the horizon, he didn't see the machine land next to a gullfoss waterfall at the bottom of the riverbed. One by one, large chunks of ice began to feed into the grater. And little by little, the ice turned into frosty snowflakes that quietly blew across the border and into London on the other side)
(INT. LIBRARY, THE HALL OF WINTER – DAY. The Keeper was in the library, trying hard to keep his focus)
TRIDENT: Speaking of sparkling, we can conclude that it spreads in a spiral and circles the center. Oh!
(He was supposed to be writing, but he was distracted. He put down his pen and glanced at an open door a short distance away. Clamina had been inside that room for most of the day. He went over and poked his head in to check on her)
(INT. VAST HALL, THE HALL OF WINTER – DAY. She was sitting in the middle of the large snowflake, mesmerized by the images projected on the icy walls. Again and again, she watched the story of how she and Kermit had been born)
Young Kermit: Hi-ho.
Young Clamina: Hi-ho.
(Just then, the visions fade)
(INT. OFFICE, TOUR TRAIN – DAY. At the same time, on the warm side of Dublin, while Fozzie, Walter, and Animal set off to find Kermit, Constantine sat in his train compartment. He was fuming. And knitting)
Constantine: This is better.
(Dominic stopped by and immediately knew something was up)
Dominic: Oh… What's wrong? You only ever knit when you're stressed.
(Constantine stopped knitting an incredibly long scarf)
CONSTANTINE: The bear, the little guy and their dog, they are onto us. They got away.
(Dominic tensed up)
Dominic: How are we gonna spin this?
(It didn't take them long to come up with a plan until Dominic begin to ask)
Dominic: Is that a scarf?
Constantine: Mmm.
Dominic: Is it a present for someone?
Constantine: Yes.
Dominic: Who?
Constantine: Not important.
(Dominic smirks)
(INT. STAGE, DUBLIN THEATRE, DUBLIN – DAY. Constantine and Dominic stood before the Muppets)
CONSTANTINE: Comrades, I'm afraid I have bad news. Walter and Fonzie had quit the Muppets.
(The Muppets (Lew Zealand, Camilla, Gonzo, Scooter, Miss Piggy, Thog, Waldorf, Statler, Sweetums, Wanda, Beaker, Wayne, Robin, Rizzo, Bunsen, the Swedish Chef, Rowlf, Link Hogthrob, Janice, Dr. Julius Strangepork, Floyd) couldn't believe it)
LEW ZEALAND: Wait. You can quit the Muppets?
(Rowlf thought that didn't make any sense)
Rowlf: Wait a second. Walter quit the Muppets? We just did a whole movie where he joined the Muppets.
Janice: And I like totally cried when he joined the Muppets.
Floyd: Yeah, we sure spent a lot of time on it.
RIZZO: Ha! I'll say. Maybe even at the expense of other long-standing, beloved Muppets. Come on, Robin.
(Rizzo walks off, with the long-standing, beloved Muppet frog, ROBIN, who is Kermit the Frog's nephew following him behind)
Robin: (SIGHS) Coming.
Dominic: Can I be honest? The show will be better without them.
Statler: Couldn't get any worse.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
(Constantine tried to wrap up the discussion)
Constantine: Well, as the old saying goes… The show must continue, in a timely fashion.
GONZO: Wait. Fozzie and Walter are part of our family. We can't let them go without a fight. Right, Kermit?
(Constantine made a very dramatic sigh)
Constantine: I know this is hard, Gonzo. Walter and Fonzie were my best friends. But Dominic is right. We're better off without them.
Dominic: Exactly.
Link Hogthrob: Well, that's true.
Floyd: No, it ain't.
Link Hogthrob: No, no, it ain't. It's not.
MISS PIGGY: Kermit… are you sure you're okay?
Constantine: Yes, I'm fine, pig. The important thing is you and I are together. I could never lose you. You complete me.
(Miss Piggy blushed)
Miss Piggy: Oh, Kermie.
DOMINIC: Guys, come on! This is gonna be fantastic. We should be celebrating!
Constantine: Yes. Remember, I can give you what you want.
Dominic: Yeah?
Rowlf: Yeah, right.
(The Muppets disperse)
Link Hogthrob: I'll keep that in mind.
Floyd: Say, has anyone seen Animal?
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – DUSK. Fozzie, Walter, and Animal trudged through rugged, snowy mountains, searching for Kermit. It was so cold Animal had icicles hanging from his fur. Then they trudged through snow)
(INT. BACKSTAGE, DUBLIN THEATRE – DUSK. The Muppets (Lew Zealand, Camilla, Gonzo, Scooter, Miss Piggy, Beaker, Rizzo, Bunsen, Rowlf, Link Hogthrob, Zoot, Janice, Floyd, Dr. Teeth) were back, having fun)
Gonzo: Maybe it's just me. But I'm doing whatever we want to do not as much fun as we thought it would be?
(The other Muppets nodded sadly)
Rowlf: You know when you're a kid and you want a cool dad and then you hang out with your friend's cool dad and it is weird and then you miss your normal dad who made all the rules?
Scooter: Does anyone else feel like… Maybe Walter was right, and maybe Kermit's acting different on this tour?
JANICE: Yeah. Something is weird and, like, not in a good weird way. Like, in a bad weird way.
(Miss Piggy didn't agree)
Miss Piggy: That's ridiculous! Kermit could not be more himself! He has never been more caring or devoted to me than he has been over the past few weeks!
Rizzo: Yeah, that's what we're saying. He hasn't been acting himself.
(Miss Piggy fell silent. Could that puny rat be right?)
Floyd: That's kind of our point.
(INT. STAGE, HALL OF WINTER – DAY. Librarians were packed inside a makeshift theater. There was a dingy curtain made from blankets, and four flashlights taped together for a spotlight)
(The guards clapped politely from the audience as the music began. Danny Trejo came out onstage wearing a hat with a flower)
Lord Milori: Wow.
(He began to tell some jokes)
Danny Trejo: What do you call a clairvoyant dwarf that escaped from the Gulag? A small medium at large. But seriously, folks, it wasn't me.
(LIBRARIANS LAUGH)
Danny Trejo: Wocka, wocka, wocka.
(Everyone laughed, not noticing Lord Milori peering in. He went around the side)
(INT. VAST HALL, THE HALL OF WINTER – DAY. Lord Milori walked past Trident and up to the edge of the snowflake)
LORD MILORI: Clami?
(Clamina turned to him, her eyes filled with tears. Trident ducked out of the room. He hoped that Lord Milori would be able to comfort the young frost princess)
(EXT. DRESSING ROOM, DUBLIN THEATRE – DAY. Queen Melody was at the dressing room. Kermit stood beside her)
Kermit: Queen Melody. Why?
Queen Melody: Kermit… Long ago, when the Magic Kingdom was very young, two people met and fell in love. One of them was a Winter Citizen…
(INT. VAST HALL, THE HALL OF WINTER – DAY. Lord Milori was telling Clamina the same tale)
Lord Milori: …and the other was from the warm seasons. The two citizens were enchanted with each other, and every sunset, they met at the border…
Queen Melody: …where Spring touches Winter. But as their love grew stronger, they wished to be together…
Lord Milori: …and share each other's worlds. So they disregarded the danger and crossed.
Queen Melody: One of them broke a wing.
Kermit: (GASPS)
Queen Melody: For which there is no cure.
Lord Milori: From that day forward, Queen Melody decreed that citizens must never again cross the border. And I agreed that our two worlds should forever remain apart.
(Clamina wiped a tear from her cheek)
Clamina: And the two people?
(INT. DRESSING ROOM, DUBLIN THEATRE – DAY.)
Kermit: What happened to them?
Queen Melody: They had to say goodbye.
(Kermit's shoulders slumped. It was no use. He would never see his sister again)
(INT. STAGE, HALL OF WINTER – DAY. A prisoner named ESCAPO shuffled onto the stage in manacles and cuffs. He tried to escape them...and succeeded! The guards applauded wildly as Escapo ran through the audience toward the exit)
(Trident stood up)
Trident: Oh, no, you don't.
(He shot Escapo with his staff)
Trident: Nice try, Escapo.
(Behind them, Lord Milori waves his arms and builds a giant, menacing snowman. We'll call him MARSHMALLOW)
(EXT. CHAMBER DOORS, THE HALL OF WINTER – DAY. Marshmallow holds Clami and Chlorine by the scruff of their necks in one hand and Calypso in the other)
CLAMINA: Stop! Put us down!
Marshmallow: (like a bouncer) Go away.
(Marshmallow tosses Chlorine and Clami down the steps. Clami and Chlorine slide past Sven, who's got his tongue stuck to the ice railing)
Calypso: (O.S.) Heads up!
(Calypso's head smashes into a snowbank nearby)
Calypso: Watch out for my above!
(Clami and Chlorine duck as the rest of Calypso slams into the snowbank)
(Marshmallow turns to go back into the castle)
(Incensed, Anna tries to march back up the stairs)
Clamina: It is not nice to throw people!
(Chlorine grabs her, pulls her back)
Chlorine: Whoa, whoa, whoa, feisty-pants. Okay, relax. Just calm down! Calm down!
Clamina: Okay! All right! I'm okay.
Chlorine: Just let the snowman be.
Clamina: I'm calm.
Chlorine: Great.
(Clami backs down...for a moment. Then she grabs a snowball and throws it at Marshmallow)
Chlorine: Oh! Come on!
(The tiny little ball hits Marshmallow's back, not making even the slightest dent. But it's enough to infuriate him. He ROARS. Spikes shoots out of his joints)
Chlorine: Oh. Look, see? Now, you made him mad.
Calypso: I'll distract him. You guys go.
(Chlorine pushes Clami along. Sven runs off in the opposite direction. Calypso's body fall and follow Sven)
Calypso: No, no! Not you guys!
(Marshmallow goes charging after Clami and Chlorine as Calypso's head falls and lands face down in snow)
Calypso: (MUFFLED) This just got a whole lot harder.
(Clami and Chlorine leap and slide down a steep slope)
CHLORINE: Look out!
(They tumble to a stop at the bottom just as Marshmallow lands hard right behind them. They're off again...through a maze of conifers that sag under the weight of the snow, Marshmallow hot on their trail)
CHLORINE: Run! Run!
(Clami grabs a branch of a sagging trees and releases all of the snow)
CHLORINE: What are you doing?
(The tree snaps upright, knocking Marshmallow back)
Chlorine: (impressed) Ho-ho-ho!
Clamina: I got him! (LAUGHS)
(Clami and Chlorine burst out of the conifer forest and almost run right off a cliff. They stop short, toes on the edge)
CHLORINE: Whoa! Stop!
CLAMINA: It's a 100-foot drop.
CHLORINE: It's 200.
(Chlorine ties the rope around Clami and pulls tight)
Clamina: Ow!
(He drops to his knees and starts digging a u-shape in the snow with a pick axe)
Clamina: What's that for?
Chlorine: I'm digging a snow anchor.
Clamina: (not trusting) Okay. What if we fall?
Chlorine: There's 20 feet of fresh powder down there. It'll be like landing on a pillow. Hopefully.
(They hear an angry ROAR coming closer)
Chlorine: Okay, Clami. On three.
CLAMINA: Okay.
CHLORINE: One...
Clamina: You tell me when. I'm ready to go.
Chlorine: Two...
Clamina: I was born ready! Yes!
Chlorine: Calm down.
(A huge tree flies through the air toward them)
CLAMINA: Tree!
(Clami jumps and pulls Chlorine over the edge with her. They hang upside down over the cliff by the rope. The rope catches their fall)
CHLORINE: That happened.
(Back on top, Calypso emerges from the woods. He's a complete mess, all his body parts are in the wrong places. He huffs and puffs, struggling to run)
Calypso: (PANTING) Man, am I out of shape.
(He stops. Puts his body back together in the right order)
Calypso: There we go. Hey, Clami! Sven! Where did you guys go? We totally lost Marshmallow back there.
(Marshmallow steps up behind Calypso. Calypso turns to face him)
Calypso: (happily) Hey! We were just talking about you. All good things, all good things.
(Marshmallow roars and approaches Chlorine's snow anchor)
Calypso: No!
(Calypso jumps onto Marshmallow's leg trying to stop him, but not making much of a difference)
Calypso: This is not making much of a difference, is it?
(Marshmallow flicks Calypso off his leg and right over the cliff)
Calypso: (SHRIEKS)
(Calypso passes Clami and Chlorine)
Clamina: Calypso!
Calypso: Hang in there, guys!
Clamina: Go. Go faster!
(Marshmallow starts yanking Chlorine and Clami's rope up)
Clamina: Wait, what?
CHLORINE: Hey!
(Chlorine's head hits the cliff)
Chlorine: Ow!
(Chlorine passes out and hangs like a rag doll)
Clamina: Chlorine!
(Marshmallow pulls them up. He roars and breaths snow all over them)
Marshmallow: Don't come back!
Clamina: (grossed out by his snow breath) We won't.
(Anna whips out a knife and cuts the rope. Kristoff comes to just as they fall. They both SCREAM!)
(SLAM!)
(BLACKOUT)
Clamina: Hey, you were right. Just like a pillow. (CHUCKLES)
(INT. STAGE, DUBLIN THEATRE – NIGHT. Sam the Eagle and Jean Pierre pulled up in front of the Dublin Theater for the Muppets' show. The two detectives noticed the marquee read SOLD OUT! As they took their seats, Constantine walked onstage)
CONSTANTINE: Welcome, folks, to Kermit and His Friends, The Muppets. Tonight's guest, Saoirse Ronan, will come out shortly. But first, a few moments with me.
(MOMENTS LATER. Scooter and the penguins sing "Moves Like Jagger")
Scooter: (with penguins) (SINGING) Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me by the cheek
And I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the…
(INT. VAULT, IRISH NATIONAL BANK – NIGHT. Constantine finally left the stage and met up with Dominic in the vault)
Constantine: I had to sing Danny Boy. The audience demanded it!
(Dominic wasn't really buying the story, but he didn't say anything. He finished applying explosives around an unusually large, antique safe-deposit box labeled T. BLOOD)
Constantine: Do you have evidence to frame the bear?
(Dominic held up a rubber chicken, one of Fozzie's props)
Constantine: Excellent. Our plan is coming together, Number Two. Where are the guards?
Dominic: They're actually leprechauns. One thing I don't understand. Even once we have the key and the locket, how do we actually break in to the Tower of London.
Constantine: Leave that to me, Number Two.
Dominic: Is there a secret phase three?
Constantine: I'm not telling.
(He took out the detonator for the explosives, then looked at the box again)
Constantine: Hmm, seems like a big box for just one little locket.
(INT. STAGE, DUBLIN THEATRE – NIGHT. The ballerina, who is played by the show's guest star, Saoirse Ronan, performed the "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.", featuring clips from the Nutcracker Sugar Plum Fairy scene in Fantasia. The leprechaun guards laughed out. Sam the Eagle and Jean Pierre watches from behind with the audience. Sam the Eagle knew there was something going on in the vault)
Sam the Eagle: Stay here. I'm going to check on the vault.
Jean Pierre: Oui.
(The two Mutations jackhammered)
Saoirse Ronan: Whoa! Whoa! Stop it!
(INT. VAULT, IRISH NATIONAL BANK – NIGHT. BOOM! The box blew open. Once the smoke cleared, Thomas Blood's skeleton fell out! Constantine and Dominic screamed. Then they noticed that the locket was around the skeleton's neck and that the skeleton was clutching the locket with both bony hands)
DOMINIC: Colonel Blood's locket.
Constantine: Of course. Now grab it.
(They each tried to pry out the locket until they heard a noise)
SAM THE EAGLE: Shawn.
Constantine: Someone's coming. Abort!
(Then he yanked hard on the locket, finally detaching it from the skeleton, and the pair ran out)
(Sam the Eagle, who had left the Muppets' show to check on the bank vault, stepped into the light. When he saw a shadowy figure in the distance, his knew his suspicions were right. He pulled out his walkie-talkie and radioed Jean Pierre)
Sam the Eagle: I think I just saw something. It's headed back towards the theater!
(INT. STAGE, DUBLIN THEATRE – NIGHT. Miss Piggy is in the middle of her Celine Dion song "My Heart Will Go On", with the curtain projecting images from James Cameron's 1997 Academy Award-winning film, Titanic)
Miss Piggy: (SINGING) Near, far
Wherever you are…
(INT. BACKSTAGE, DUBLIN THEATRE – NIGHT. Constantine and Dominic safety returned backstage at the theater)
Dominic: That was close.
Constantine: Too close. We need to move to final phase three. "Wedding."
(INT. STAGE, DUBLIN THEATRE – NIGHT.)
Miss Piggy: You're here
(INT. BACKSTAGE, DUBLIN THEATRE – NIGHT. Constantine headed toward the stage–even though the show was still going on)
Scooter: Hey, Kermit, you can't go out there. It's Piggy's Celine Dion number.
(Constantine didn't let that stop him. He grabbed Scooter's arm and flipped him into the ground)
(INT. STAGE, DUBLIN THEATRE – NIGHT.)
Miss Piggy: And I know that my heart will…
(Sam the Eagle returned to the seat)
Sam the Eagle: Did you see anything?
Jean Pierre: Not a thing. It is my lunch hour. It lasts six hours.
(Constantine marched onto the stage and faced the audience)
Constantine: Excuse me. Ladies and gentlemen! I have an announcement!
Miss Piggy: What?
(The music stopped playing)
Janice: Oh, wow. It's like, totally, like, a new era or something. And, like, I'm feeling very anxious right now.
MISS PIGGY: Kermit, I'm in the middle of a song here!
Constantine: (to Miss Piggy) Miss Piggy. I have very important question for you.
(Miss Piggy took a sharp breath in)
Miss Piggy: Yeah? What are you doing?
(The audience woke up)
Constantine: Do you wish to become Mrs. Piggy? Or rather, Mrs. The Frog?
(He held up the ring)
(The Muppets (Marvin Suggs, Wanda, Wayne, Quongo, Beautiful Day Monster, Penguin) and the people in the audience nudged one another and tried to get a look at the ring. Miss Piggy started to tremble)
Miss Piggy: Oh, Kermie, I thought you'd never ask. I really thought you'd never ask!
Constantine: So? What do you say?
Jean Pierre: (WHISPERING) It's beautiful.
Miss Piggy: (SCREAMS) Yes! Yes! Of course! Yes!
(The audience broke into wild applause and cheers, and Constantine slipped the ring on Miss Piggy's finger)
Miss Piggy: I can't believe this! After all this time, it was finally just so easy!
(Constantine turned to the audience)
Constantine: (to the audience) That right, folks, it's the Muppet wedding the world has been waiting for. We're putting our tour on hold…
All: What?
Constantine: (to the audience) …to be married in two days' time at the world's most romantic location, the Tower of London.
(Offstage, the other Muppets (Afghan Hound, Scooter, Gonzo, Mildred Huxtetter, Camilla, Beauregard) were pretty shocked)
Scooter: Oh, my gosh.
Gonzo: Kermit's really doing it, isn't he?
Camilla: (CLUCKING) (subtitles appear: What about us, Gonzo?)
Gonzo: I told you, when I'm a millionaire. Again.
(They all watched as Miss Piggy hugged Constantine)
Constantine: Yes, pictures now.
Miss Piggy: (SIGHS) This ring. It's so… So black. It's a little ominous, to tell the truth.
Constantine: It's a very rare black diamond. That ring is priceless. Like you, my dear. Now you have everything you've ever wanted. And so do I.
Miss Piggy: Oh, Kermie, you've never said that to me be… …fore.
(Miss Piggy paused. What did Kermit mean?)
(The incoming paparazzi interrupted)
Paparazzi: Over here, Piggy! Over here!
(Constantine grabbed Miss Piggy, and found himself enjoying the spotlight)
Miss Piggy: What's gotten into you?
Constantine: Love, my dear. Love.
(Miss Piggy narrowed her eyes at him. Something was not right, she thought)
(INT. BACKSTAGE, DUBLIN THEATRE – NIGHT. Moments later, when Constantine exited the stage, Dominic pulled him aside)
Dominic: So… Secret phase three, proposing to the pig?
Constantine: Keep up, Number Two. In Tower of London, you cannot put on stupid variety show, but you can get married.
(He unrolled Thomas Blood's map of the Tower of London)
Constantine: You see, Blood's passageways are located directly below Saint John's Chapel. I realized months ago that our only chance of pulling this off was a Muppet wedding.
(INT. BEDROOM, CASTLE – NIGHT. Clamina paces, distraught. She talks to herself)
Clamina: (mantra-style) Get it together. Control it. Don't feel. Don't feel. Don't feel. Don't feel!
(She hears ice cracking. Stops. Looks around. She's left a sharp wake of ice spikes behind her on the floor. They grow up the wall, taking over the room)
(INT. VAULT, IRISH NATIONAL BANK – NIGHT. The leprechauns and the security guard enter the vault)
Leprechaun 1: Well, at least they didn't get the pot of gold.
Leprechaun 2: No, they did not.
(Sam the Eagle walked through the Irish National Bank vault, shaking his feathered head)
Sam the Eagle: I have never been to a more ridiculous crime scene.
(Under some rubble, Jean Pierre spotted a rubber chicken)
Jean Pierre: (GASPS) The comedian bear, he was here.
(At that precise moment, Sam the Eagle discovered a coin)
SAM THE EAGLE: The Lemur. He, too, was here.
(He looked at Jean Pierre)
Sam the Eagle: Could the comedian bear and the Lemur be one and the same?
Jean Pierre: The comedian bear is the Lemur. That is brilliant. I knew he's a genius.
Sam the Eagle: But why would he steal a bunch of old bones?
Jean Pierre: The bones apparently belonged to one Colonel Thomas Blood. He was the only man to ever nearly steal the Crown Jewels of England.
(Sam the Eagle's eyes widened)
Sam the Eagle: The Crown Jewels? Wait! Where did the frog say he was getting married?
Jean Pierre: The Tower of London.
(The realization hit them both at the same time)
Both: The comedian bear is planning on stealing the Tower of London/Crown Jewels!
Jean Pierre: The Crown Jewels.
Sam the Eagle: (SIGHS)
(It didn't take long before the news was announced around the world)
(INT. MUPPET NEWS FLASH)
Newsman: Here's a Muppet newsflash. The years of waiting are over. The biggest "Will they, won't they?" of all times has been answered with a firm, "They will." Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy are to be married! That's right, folks. They're finally tying the knot.
(Suddenly, the bull head-butted him out of the frame, which is a more Muppet Show-like ending to one of the Newsman's reports)
Bull: (MOOS)
(EXT. SECURITY CHECKOUT – NIGHT. IRISH SECURITY GUARDS stand guard)
Kermit: Let me through! Let me through! (to security) Let me in! I got to get through to warn the police!
(Security eyes one another. This is serious)
Irish Security #1: You cannot come through here! Back up.
Irish Security #2: (into a walkie-talkie) We have a lunatic at gate 9.
Kermit: I was making a snowmaker so my sister can visit the city and meet the queen so she will put an end to Lord Milori's rule and the flood what I'm saying!
Irish Security #1: Lunatic at gate 9.
(Kermit spots Jean Pierre and Sam the Eagle far off in the distance)
Kermit: Police! Police!
(JUST OFF THE PRESS STAGE – Jean Pierre and Sam the Eagle are led toward the lobby)
Reporter: You are the champion!
Press: This way, laddie.
KERMIT: Police!
Sam the Eagle: Kermit?
(Sam the Eagle looks up but can only see A SEA OF PEOPLE and cameras spindle toward the sky…)
(BACK AT THE SECURITY BARRICADE – Kermit, like a nimble running back, dances around to avoid capture by security)
KERMIT: Police.
Reporter: Give us a pose!
Kermit: Police!
Irish Security #1: Stop moving. Stop!
(Kermit head fakes them and pushes through, into the crowd--)
Irish Security #2: Where you going? Stop!
(IN THE CROWD – Kermit shoves his way through. He's still far in the back)
Kermit: Police!
(ON JEAN PIERRE AND SAM THE EAGLE)
Sam the Eagle: That really sounded like… Kermit!
Jean Pierre: Kermit?
Press: (to Sam the Eagle and Jean Pierre) Laddie?
(ON KERMIT, getting CLOSER…)
KERMIT: Police! They're gonna kill us!
(ON SAM THE EAGLE AND JEAN PIERRE – Okay, he's positive that was the frog at Madrid, but where is he?)
JEAN PIERRE: Kermit!
(Sam the Eagle and Jean Pierre spot a GREEN HAND, moving through the crowd toward him, "Jaws"-like)
Jean Pierre: Excuse me.
(Sam the Eagle and Jean Pierre disappear into the press crowd)
Press: No, where are you going?
(Sam the Eagle and Jean Pierre push through the press)
Sam the Eagle: Excuse me. Kermit!
Jean Pierre: Mon ami!
Kermit: Police!
(Sam the Eagle and Jean Pierre track the green hand, get closer. They push through the last few people---)
Sam the Eagle: Kermit, where have you been.
(It's NOT KERMIT. It's THE LONE GUNSLINGER)
Lone Gunslinger Vulture: Sam the Eagle! I am a huge fan.
Sam the Eagle: (confused) I'm sorry, I thought I heard…
Lone Gunslinger Vulture: That was me. I said, "You killed out there today. You're the best."
Jean Pierre: What? I mean, thanks.
Press: Right this way, laddie.
(Now the press were pushing Sam the Eagle and Jean Pierre back in the other direction ---)
Sam the Eagle: I really thought I heard the frog.
(As they're pulled away, press and onlooker start to come between them and the Lone Gunslinger, who hasn't moved)
Lone Gunslinger Vulture: In England, he'll be finished! At the geyser fields.
(The Lone Gunslinger is now obscured again)
Sam the Eagle: Wait, what?
(The IRISH PRESS being to swarm)
Press: The press is waiting. Come with me, please.
(Sam the Eagle and Jean Pierre is pulled back---)
(EXT. STREET – DUBLIN – MOMENTS LATER. ---just as Kermit, now BOUND and with HIS MOUTH TAPED, is pulled away and thrown into the back of a transport vehicle. He lands hard on his side, spits out his TAPE)
Kermit: Let me go!
Lord Milori: You actually care about that Winter Citizen. A pity you didn't warn her in time.
(As the doors close on Kermit --- PHHHHHSSSSSSTTTTTTT! A thick, noxious gas starts to fill the truck)
(On KERMIT as the knockout gas works its magic. HIS EYES CLOSE)
(BLACK SCREEN)
KERMIT: Queen Melody. Why?
QUEEN MELODY: Long ago, when the Magic Kingdom was very young, two people met and fell in love. One of them was a Winter Citizen.
(FADE IN on Kermit, back at the tour train, eyeing on Queen Melody. It's the same moment from before except now we are watching it from a DETACHED, FLOATING PERSPECTIVE)
Queen Melody: The two citizens were enchanted with each other, and every sunset, they met at the border where Spring touches Winter. But as their love grew stronger, they wished to be together and share each other's worlds. So they disregarded the danger and crossed. One of them broke a wing. For which there is no cure.
LORD MILORI: And then from that day forward, Queen Melody agreed that citizens must never cross again. And I agreed that our two worlds should forever remain apart. Apart... (ECHOES)
(Kermit's thoughts drifted back to the days when he and Clamina were just kids and nothing had gotten in the way of their fun times together. Kermit could even remember when Clamina was born! It seemed as if the entire kingdom of the Winter Woods had celebrated their arrival)
(It had been nighttime when Kermit was finally allowed to see Queen Idun and her new baby sister. The fjord was filled with ships and boats. They were lit up to celebrate the birth of the tiny new princess. Some of the people of the Winter Woods even launched fireworks into the night sky. The fjord seemed to sparkle with delight)
(The first thing Kermit noticed about his little sister was her thick crop of brunette hair)
KERMIT: Her head is so bright! Will it shine at night?
(His parents had laughed softly)
QUEEN IDUN: No, no. Clamina had brunette hair. That's all.
(As Clamina grew, so did her friends' powers. Sea Salt and Grotto loved to make ice crystals that danced in the sunlight and cast sparkles on the ceiling over baby Clamina's crib. Sea Salt delighted her little sister. She painted the little girl's windows with snowflakes and turned her fruit juices into icy parfaits)
(Over time, Clamina learned to walk and talk. The three girls began to make snow angels in their bedrooms, and later, they sneaked downstairs to play in the amazing winter wonderlands that Sea Salt made in the ballroom)
(Then the accident had happened)
(- IN THE ASOLO THEATER IN OSLO – Again, from before. Kermit makes a spectacle of himself, WHOOPING AND HOLLERING in the stands with the Sami clothing on)
Kermit: (IN NORWEGIAN)
(The Muppets and patrons eye Kermit, embarrassed and angry)
(- IN THE ALPINE LEDERHOSEN FACTORY IN GERMANY – The moment of Kermit talking to the Nerdlucks)
Kermit: (SIGHS) I can't believe we make the baskets, but don't get to take them to the Winter Citizens. I mean, wouldn't you want to go into the Winter Woods?
(The Nerdlucks eye Kermit, scared with glaciers)
(We now REVEAL that this FLOATING, THIRD PERSON PERSPECTIVE is KERMIT. He's inside his past, watching it from others' point of view. He doesn't like what sees)
(- ON KERMIT, now at the hospital)
Kermit: What about the sparkling?
Healing Berliner: It must have been the light reflecting off the snow.
Kermit: But…
Healing Berliner: You should have never crossed the border. Winter is too cold for our Warm Citizen wings.
(- OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL, as Kermit talks to the Muppets)
Kermit: But something did happen. They sparkled! It was brighter than a thousand fireflies. You saw it. Didn't you, Scooter?
(- ON LORD MILORI, scolding Trident at the Hall of Winter)
Lord Milori: I'll remind you. Crossing the border is forbidden.
Trident: There was a time when it wasn't.
Lord Milori: The rule is there to keep people safe. That will never change.
(- IN THE BOUNDARY IN DUBLIN, after Kermit and the Muppets had taken Clamina back to the border)
Lord Milori: This is why we do not cross the border. You two may never see each other again.
Kermit: Lord Milori, your rule will not keep us apart. Apart... (ECHOES)
(Now BACK AT OSLO, a moment we didn't see before but which presumably happened. Kermit is BANGING a GONG, to the horror of Oslo guests)
Kermit: Bang the gong. Get it on!
(GONNNNNNG!!! ---)
(On the BERLINERS, THEATER GUESTS, WINTER CITIZENS – they're all laughing at Kermit as Clamina's final words blend in, making a DISSATISFIED CACOPHONY)
CLAMINA: I'm not going extinct. I'm just trying to protect you.
(Off the GONG ---)
(INT. BIG BEN – DAY. --- to the GONG of a CLOCK)
(CLOSE ON KERMIT as he OPENS HIS EYES)
(All around him, all he sees are GIANT PIECES OF MECHANIZED CLOCKWORK)
(Fozzie, Walter, and Animal are here, too, strapped in the divots of large clock movements)
Kermit: Fozzie! Walter! Animal! Where are we?
Fozzie: We're in London, Kermit, inside Big Ben.
(EXT. BIG BEN – CONTINUOUS. The BIG HAND finishes ADVANCING one minute. It's 3 PM)
(INT. BIG BEN – CONTINUOUS. Suddenly, Kermit DROPS QUICKLY down toward ---)
(--- whirring, scary machinery)
Kermit: Whoa!
(WHAP! The chain yanks to a STOP)
(Kermit, instead of being 30 feet from death, is now 20)
(Fozzie, Walter, and Animal are only a few clicks closer to being crushed themselves. The clocks ticks to 3:01)
Kermit: Oh, this… This is all my fault.
Fozzie: Don't be a fool, Kermit.
Kermit: But I am, remember? You said so.
Fozzie: When did I… Oh. Kermit, I was complimenting you on what Clamina's good sister you are.
Kermit: I'm not her sister! (ECHOES)
(This echoes throughout the clock)
Kermit: I've been trying to tell you that the whole time. I really am just an Amphibian-American.
(Fozzie, Walter, and Animal take this in)
Walter: Fozzie, he's not joking.
Fozzie: I know.
Kermit: Queen Melody was right, Fozzie. I'm a Warm Citizen. And what's happened to Clami is 'cause I'm such a big one. This is all my fault.
(The LIBRARY KING, DANNY TREJO, and BIG PAPA arrive)
Library King: Good. You're up.
Big Papa: And just in time.
Library King: Milori wanted you to have a front row seat for the death of your frost princess sister tomorrow.
Kermit: (hopeful) Clami's still alive?
Danny Trejo: Not for much longer.
(The inmates whip a sheet away, revealing small snowflakes falling from the heavens. Kermit DROPS down again ---)
(FOZZIE, WALTER, AND ANIMAL CLICK FORWARD)
(EXT. LONDON – DAY. Big Ben's big hand CLICKS ahead another minute)
(INT. BLOOMSBURY CORNER HOUSE, LONDON – DAY. It also didn't take long before the Muppets (Floyd, Scooter, Beaker, Rowlf, Gonzo, Janice) had some questions. They gathered together and found Constantine)
Scooter: Hey, chief.
Constantine: Hi-lo.
Scooter: Uh, we've all been thinking, and… Well, we were wondering, after you and Miss Piggy get married, what's gonna happen to the tour?
Gonzo: And to us?
(Constantine faced them and made himself sound upbeat)
Constantine: Well, now you guys have all the freedom you want. You don't need me. I'm done with Muppets.
Gonzo: Huh?
(ALL GASP)
Constantine: But, hey, it's been a good run, right? Hmm? Good luck.
(Constantine walked away)
FLOYD: Kermit!
(The Muppets (Floyd, Beaker, Scooter, Gonzo, Rowlf, Janice) looked at one another, stunned)
Rowlf: Did he just say what I thought he said?
Scooter: What are we gonna do without Kermit?
Floyd: The only thing we can do. Pack up, go to the wedding, and head back home. Looks like it's the end of the road.
(EXT. NURSERY, BLOOMSBURY CORNER HOUSE – DAY. Miss Piggy and Foo Foo sat in the mirror)
Miss Piggy: Oh, Foo Foo, it's always been a fight. But this is so easy, it just doesn't feel right.
Foo Foo: (WHIMPERING)
Miss Piggy: (SINGING) This is my dream come true
The day has come for us to say "I do"
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Nothing in the world means more to me than you
I've waited so patiently, I knew you were the only frog for me
Always knew this day would come
It's written in the stars, it's destiny
So how can something so right feel so wrong tonight?
After all we've been through, why do I feel I don't know you?
Miss Piggy & Kermit: We'll settle down and start a family
Have a mini you and a mini me
A little pink frog and a little green piggy
They'll learn to say hello and say goodbye
We'll grow grey and old, and live the quiet life
Just you and I
Hand in hand we'll stay together
Forever and ever
Miss Piggy & Celine Dion: So how can something so right feel so wrong tonight?
After all we've been through, why do I feel I don't know you?
(In the bedroom, the Muppets are packing things up for their trip back home to Anaheim)
Dr. Teeth: How can something so right feel so wrong inside?
Floyd: How can something so good, leave me feeling so bad?
Pepé: How can my dreams coming true, leave me lonely and blue?
Lew Zealand: How come the happiest day of my life is so sad?
Rowlf: How can I feel the high when I feel so low?
Scooter: After all we've been through after coming so far
Link Hogthrob: Is this my destiny?
Beaker: Mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi
Miss Piggy & Celine Dion: Where is the love that's written in the stars?
Miss Piggy, Floyd, Link Hogthrob, Scooter, Beaker, Lew Zealand, Pepé, Rowlf, Dr. Teeth, and Celine Dion (All): So how can something so right feel so wrong tonight?
Celine Dion: Hey-hey-hey
Miss Piggy: After all we've been through, why do I feel I don't know you?
Celine Dion: (VOCALIZING)
Miss Piggy: Oh, Kermie.
(As night arrives, Kermit reached out of his sister and tried to hug her while she disappeared into the swirl of sparkling stars)
(Quietly, he walked to the window. As he looked outside, he saw a tiny snowflake fall down from the sky. He drew in a sharp breath)
(Oh, no, he thought)
(EXT. GLACIER FOUNTAIN, THE WINTER WOODS – NIGHT. Cretaceous and Maelstrom, two sinister reptiles saw that the lava tubes with small holes are not strong enough to melt the glacier. They manage to break open all the lava tubes, using their tails, jaws, and teeth. Soon, all the jets squirted out from the damaged lava tubes. Hopefully, the glaciers will melt and recede really faster and quickly)
(EXT. BLACK MOUNTAINS – NIGHT. The Northern Lights are bright. Calypso, Grotto, and Sea Salt stare at them in awe as they ride on Sven's back)
Calypso: Look, Sven, the sky's awake.
(Behind Calypso, Sea Salt, Grotto, and Sven, Clamina walks with Chlorine. She shivers)
Chlorine: Are you cold?
Clamina: A little.
(He reaches like he might put an arm around her, but decides against it. He looks around as if he doesn't know what to do, then gets a thought)
Chlorine: Wait. Come here.
(He takes her hand and pulls her around a bend into a rock-lined pass)
(Steam vents, powered by the volcanic activity, dot the path. He holds her hands over one of them)
Clamina: Oooh… That's nice.
(They continue on the path, walking from vent to vent)
Chlorine: (taking a deep breath) So, uh, about my friends. Well… (CHUCKLES) I say "friends"… They're more like family. Anyway, when I was a kid, it was just me and Sven. Until they, you know, kinda took us in.
Clamina: (moved) They did?
Chlorine: (nervous ramble) Yeah. I don't want to scare you. They can be a little bit inappropriate and loud. (CHUCKLES) Very loud. They are also stubborn at times, and a little overbearing. And heavy. Really, really heavy. (STAMMERS) But you'll get it. They mean well.
(Clamina touches Chlorine's arm, reassuringly)
Clamina: Chlorine, they sound wonderful.
(Chlorine smiles, appreciating her sincerity)
Chlorine: Okay, then.
(Mustering the courage, Chlorine steps forward and with a wave of the arms announces--)
Chlorine: Meet my family.
(REVEAL: he's surrounded by rocks)
Chlorine: (to the rocks) Hey, guys.
(As Chlorine move through the rocks, waving and greeting, Calypso and Clamina stand frozen, dumbfounded)
Clamina: (to herself) They're rocks.
CHLORINE: You are a sight for sore eyes.
Calypso: (realizing) (WHISPERS) He's crazy.
Chlorine: Rocko's looking sharp, as usual. Clay, whoa… I don't even recognize you. You lost so much weight.
Calypso: (covertly, to Clamina) (WHISPERS) I'll distract them while you run. (Loud and slow to a rock) (IN LOUD VOICE) Hi, Sven's family! It's nice to meet you. (quietly to Clamina) (WHISPERS) Because I love you, Clami, I insist you run. (to the rock) (LOUD NOISE) I understand you're love experts! Ooh! (to Clamina) (WHISPERS) Why aren't you running?
(Clamina snaps out of her shock and starts backing away)
Clamina: Okay. Um. I'm gonna go.
CALYPSO: Go.
(Just then, the rocks around her start rolling)
Chlorine: No, no, no. Clami, wait.
Clamina: (panicking) Chlorine!
(Calypso lights up and chases the rocks)
CHLORINE: Whoa! (CHUCKLING)
(The rocks surround Chlorine and unfold as trolls)
Bulda: Chlorine's home!
Trolls: (various) Chlorine! Chlorine's home! It's been too long! Chlorine's home!
TROLL 1: Chlorine's here!
(Grotto jumps around all excitedly)
Grotto: (excitedly) Chlorine's home.
(Sea Salt was confused, and look to one of the trolls)
Sea Salt: Wait, "Chlorine"?
(Clamina watches, shocked and confused)
(The trolls all want Chlorine's attention. One trolls yanks Chlorine down with a boulder's strength)
Troll 1: Ah, let me look at you.
(Another troll tries to pull him)
Troll 2: I'll wash you.
Chlorine: No! No, thank you. Look, it's great to see you all, but where's Grand Pabbie?
TROLL KID: He's napping. But, look, I grew a mushroom.
Troll Scout Kid: And I earned my jewelry.
Kidney Stone Troll: I passed a kidney stone.
Pick Me Up Troll: Chlorine, pick me up.
(The kid troll jumps up on Chlorine's arm. Chlorine sinks under the weight of her)
Chlorine: (GRUNTS) You're getting big. Good for you.
(Clamina still stares, confused, then realizes…)
Clamina: Trolls. They're trolls!
(Silence. All trolls eyes turn to Clamina. Blink. Blink)
Bulda: He's brought a girl!
Trolls: (CHEERING) A girl!
(Suddenly, Clamina is surrounded by trolls. They body-surf/roll Clamina over to Chlorine. She falls into his arms)
TROLL 2: Is that a real girl?
TROLL 3: She's like a little cupcake.
Clamina: What's going on?
Chlorine: I've learned to just roll with it.
(Bulda climbs on top of her husband, CLIFF, to get a good look at Clamina. She studies her like she's a piece of cattle)
Bulda: Let me see. Bright eyes, working nose, strong teeth! (CHUCKLES) Yes, yes. He'll do nicely for our Chlorine.
Clamina: Wait, wait, wait. Oh, um, no.
Chlorine: You've got the wrong idea. That's not why I brought him here.
Clamina: Right. We're not… I'm not…
(Bulda laughs, uncomfortable, not knowing what to say)
Bulda: (to Clamina) What's the issue, dear? Why are you holding back from such a man?
(SINGING) Is it the clumpy way he walks?
Cliff: Or the grumpy way he talks?
Female Troll 1: Or the pear-shaped, square-shaped
Weirdness of his feet?
CHLORINE: Hey!
Male Troll 1: And though we know washes
Well, he always ends up sort of smelly.
Bulda: But you'll never meet a fellow who's as
Bulda & Cliff: Sensitive and sweet!
So he's a bit of a fixer-upper,
So he's got a few flaws.
FEMALE TROLL 2: Like his peculiar brain dear,
MALE TROLL 2: His thing with the reindeer.
Troll Duet: That's little outside of nature's laws!
Chlorine: This is not about me!
Small Group of Trolls: So he's a bit of a fixer-upper,
But this we're certain of
You can fix this fixer-upper
Up with a little bit of love!
Chlorine: Can we just stop talking about this? We've got a real, actual problem here.
Bulda: I'll say. (to Clamina) So tell me, dear
Is it the way that he runs scared?
Male Troll 3: Or that he's socially impaired?
Troll Child: Or that he only likes to tinkle in the woods
Clamina: I did not need to know that…
Cliff: Are you holding back your fondness
Due to his unmanly blondness?
Female Trolls: Or the way he covers up that he's the honest goods?
All Trolls: He's just a bit of a fixer-upper,
He's got a couple of bugs
Chlorine: No, I don't.
All Trolls: His isolation is confirmation
Of his desperation for healing hugs
So he's a bit of a fixer-upper,
But we know what to do
The way to fix up this fixer-upper
Is to fix him up with you!
(The girl trolls sweep Clamina, Sea Salt, and Grotto away. The boys take Chlorine, Sven, and Calypso)
Chlorine: (to the male trolls) Stop it, stop it, stop it! Enough! She is engaged to someone else, okay?
(TROLLS beat. Blink. Blink. The boy trolls turn, huddle…)
Cliff: So she's a bit of a fixer-upper,
Male Troll 4: That's a minor thing.
Male Troll 5: Her quote 'engagement' is a flex arrangement.
Troll Child: And by the way, I don't see no ring!
Male Trolls: So she's a bit of a fixer-upper,
His brain's a bit betwixt.
Get the fiancée out of the way
And the whole thing will be fixed.
Bulda: We're not sayin' you can change him,
'Cause people don't really change.
We're only saying that love's a force
That's powerful and strange.
People make bad choices if they're mad,
Or scared, or stressed.
Throw a little love their way.
Female Trolls: Throw a little love their way.
Bulda & Female Trolls: And you'll bring out their best.
All Trolls: True love brings out their best!
(Clamina looks over at Chlorine. She actually looks shockingly beautiful dressed in moss, lit by shimmering crystals)
All Trolls: Everyone's a bit of a fixer-upper,
That's what it's all about!
Cliff: Father!
Female Troll 3: Sister!
Male Troll 6: Brother!
All Trolls: We need each other
To raise us up and round us out.
(By this time, Chlorine and Clamina are being ushered into a pit by the sheer force of numbers)
All Trolls: Everyone's a bit of a fixer-upper,
But when push comes to shove.
Calypso: The only fixer-upper fixer
That can fix up a fixer-upper is
Trolls: True! True!
True, true, true!
Love (True love)
Love, love, love, love, love
Love! (True love!)
True…
(During this last bit, Clamina and Calypso are looking at each other differently. Hmmm. Maybe those trolls are right? Sparks! Chemistry!)
Troll Priest: Do you, Clamina, take Chlorine to be your trollfully wedded?
Clamina: Wait, what?
Troll Priest: You're getting married.
Trolls: Love!
(Just then, Clamina collapses. Chlorine catches her. She's shivering something fierce)
Chlorine: Clami?
(She pulls off her cape and hat)
Chlorine: She's as cold as ice.
(Just then, Grand Pabbie pushes his way through the troll crowd. Troll clear the way for Grand Pabbie. He stops at the edge of the pit)
Grand Pabbie: There's strange magic here.
Chlorine: Grand Pabbie!
Grand Pabbie: Come, come. Bring her here to me.
(Chlorine helps Clamina over. Grand Pabbie looks into her eyes)
Grand Pabbie: Clamina, your sister's life is in danger. There is ice in his heart put there by you. If not removed, to his wings will he break, forever.
Clamina: What? No.
Chlorine: You can remove it, right?
Grand Pabbie: I cannot. I'm sorry, Chlorine. If it was his head, that would be easy. But only an act of true love can heal a broken wing.
Clamina: An act of true love?
Bulda: (googly, to her hubby) A true love's kiss, perhaps.
(A bunch of trolls give each other kisses)
(Clamina shivers again, collapsing into Chlorine's arms. More of her wings turns blue)
TROLL 1: Something's wrong.
TROLL 2: Are you all right?
Chlorine: Clami, we've got to get you back to Trident.
Clamina: (still weak) Trident.
Chlorine: Pull us out, Sven.
(Chlorine grabs Sven's antler. Sven pulls them out)
(Chlorine helps Clamina, Sea Salt, and Grotto onto Sven and hops up behind her)
Chlorine: Calypso, come on!
(Sven takes off. Calypso grabs Sven's tail, rides with them)
Calypso: I'm coming! Let's go talk to Trident! Who is this Trident?
(EXT. CHAMBER DOORS, THE HALL OF WINTER – DAWN. Lord Milori and the men tread cautiously towards the chamber doors)
Lord Milori: We are here to find Clamina. Be on guard, but no harm is to come to the queen. Do you understand?
SOLDIER 1: Yes, Your Grace.
(The library inmates exchange a look. Suddenly, a mass of snow rises from the ground behind Lord Milori. It's Marshmallow, his snow guard. He slams a fish inches from Lord Milori. Lord Milori deftly dodges out of the way. All of the guards take up arms against Marshmallow, who quickly knocks them over)
(Marshmallow throws down a guard and his horse, who topple over Lord Milori. Marshmallow raises his foot to stomp on Lord Milori, but Lord Milori barrel-rolls himself to safety. He sees his sword, leaps, and grabs it)
(Just then, Clamina peeks out the front doors)
(The Library King and Big Papa see her)
Library King: The Frost Princess.
(The thugs charge up the stairs)
BIG PAPA: Go, go! Come on!
(INT. CHAMBER, THE HALL OF WINTER – DAWN. The inmates bursts through the ice doors)
BIG PAPA: There!
LIBRARY KING: Up there!
(INT. VAST HALL, THE HALL OF WINTER – DAWN. They trap her on the top floor, raise their crossbows)
BIG PAPA: We got her.
Clamina: (scared) No. Please.
(Library King shoots an arrow right at Clami. At the last moment she creates an ice wall. It stops the arrow, inches from her face)
BIG PAPA: Go around. Toss it.
(The thugs reposition to take another shot)
Clamina: Stay away!
LIBRARY KING: Look out!
BIG PAPA: Fire! Fire!
(Clami shoots ice at the inmates. They duck out of the way and continue the attack. Now it is now a riot)
Library King: Get her!
(BACK OUTSIDE: Lord Milori is nearly crushed by Marshmallow. He rolls away. Jumps to his feet. And with agile might, he slices Marshmallow's leg off with his sword. Marshmallow stumbles back, off balance. And falls of over the cliff, but not before striking Lord Milori. Lord Milori goes over the edge)
(REVEAL: Lord Milori clings to the ice steps)
SOLDIER: Grab his arm.
(His men help him up and they rush into the ice palace)
(INT. VAST HALL, THE HALL OF WINTER – DAWN. Clamina is surrounded. It's do or die)
BIG PAPA: Aim...
(In two swift moves, Clami traps Big Papa in a cage of spikes that threaten his neck. The Library King she pushes back with a wall of ice...up against the hall's balcony doors...which BURST and CRACK)
(OUT ONTO THE BALCONY... The balcony doors shatter. The Library King is pushed to the edge. He's inches away from falling to his death)
(BACK INSIDE: Lord Milori and his men run in. See the destruction and the inmates near death)
SOLDIER 1: This way, this way!
SOLDIER 2: Whoa!
Lord Milori: Princess Clamina! Don't be the monster they fear you are.
(Clami snaps out of her rage. She sees the inmates, frightened, moments from death. She stops. Clami looks to Lord Milori, overwhelmed, frightened)
(The wall retreats from the Library King on the balcony. The ice spikes lower from Big Papa's neck. He takes advantage and aims his crossbow at Clami's back)
(Seeing it. Lord Milori runs and pushes the crossbow up just as the arrow releases. The arrow hits the ice chandelier, hanging directly above Clami)
(The chandelier comes CRASHING DOWN)
(Clami dives out of the way but she falls in the blast)
(All we see is ice smashing like glass, and all we hear is the sound of it shattering as it rings out)
(Clamina's face as her eyes flutter open)
(She sits up. She's surrounded by stone)
(INT. CASTLE, DUNGEON – DAY. Clami looks to the nearby window. Tries to rush to it. She's pulled taut by giant shackles that fit like iron gloves. She's chained to the wall)
(INSET WINDOW: The Winter Woods are outside, windy and getting further buried under the ice and snow that is falling)
Clamina: Oh, no. What have... What have I done?
(Trident enters. He hangs a torch by the door)
Clamina: Why did you bring me here?
Trident: I couldn't just let them kill you.
Clamina: But I'm a danger to the Winter Woods. And IGP Inc. Get Lord Milori.
Trident: Milori has not returned.
(Clami looks to the storm with worry)
Trident: If you would just stop the flood. Change the Lord Milori's rule, please.
(Clami meets his eyes, desperate)
Clamina: Don't you see? I can't.
(Trident sees the sincerity in her eyes)
Clamina: You have to tell them to let me go.
(Trident walks to the door. He takes the torch)
Trident: I will do what I can.
(He opens the door and leaves)
(Clami, distraught, hears cracking. She looks down as her shackles begin to freeze over. The storm outside picks up)
(EXT. BLOOMSBURY, LONDON – DAY. In the flash, Queen Melody and Kermit race through Bloomsbury on their jet packs. His other friends followed, including some of the Muppets, Rowlf, Gonzo, Floyd, Beaker, and Janice. Snowflakes were falling rapidly now)
Rowlf: We saw the snow.
Irishman: Queen Melody, something's wrong!
(It was the dignitaries)
Spanish Dignitary: The temperature, it seems to be plummeting!
Irishman: The hibiscuses are halfway to hibernation!
Queen Melody: Now, now, dignitaries, let's not panic.
German Dignitary: Absolutely right. (SCREAMS) Snow!
(They reached the steep hill near the border and looked into the distance. They couldn't believe their eyes. Snow was billowing up into the sky from the edge of the border, and it was beginning to blanket the warm seasons of London. Just then, Kermit heard the Nerdlucks)
BUPKUS: Heave!
POUND: Ho!
BANG: Heave!
Pound: Ho!
(They were struggling down below in the riverbed by the border. He flew toward the sound of their voices and found them on a ledge near an icy waterfall. They were trying to move the snowmaker)
BANG: Put your muscle into it, Poundy!
Pound: I'm trying, Guys!
Bang: Heave!
Pound: Ho!
Kermit: What happened? How did this get here?
(The last time he did see the snowmaker; it had been on the bridge back in Dublin)
Pound: We don't know, Mr. Froggy, but it's stuck real good!
Nawt: Yeah, and it's making that thing bigger by the minute!
(Nawt pointed to the mound of snow piling high into the sky. Kermit turned to the other Muppets)
Kermit: Guys, down here!
Floyd: Come on!
Blanko: Got it!
(The Muppets flew to help move the snowmaker)
KERMIT: Okay, push!
(With all their might, the Muppets pushed and shoved)
Pound: All together. All together! Upsy-daisy.
(Finally, the machine broke free. It tumbled deeper into the riverbed and splashed into the water)
BUPKUS: We did it!
(ALL CHEERING)
Pound: We did it!
Kermit: It's over.
Gonzo: Uh, I don't think it is.
(Gonzo pointed up at the sky. Though the machine was gone, the snow was still coming down. A cold breeze ruffled the Muppets' (Floyd, Beaker, Janice, Gonzo, Kermit, Rowlf, the Nerdlucks) bodies and sent chills to the skin)
QUEEN MELODY: Oh, my goodness. The seasons have been thrown out of balance.
GERMAN DIGNITARY: But if the temperatures continue to drop, it will freeze all of IGP Inc.
(All the Muppets looked to Queen Melody for guidance. But she remained silent. Just then, a sharp boom behind them grabbed their attention. The Muppets watched as a large spout squirted into the street)
Queen Melody: Oh, no.
Spanish Dignitary: Queen Melody, the Bloomsbury corner house.
(The princess's eyes grew wide)
(Immediately, she flew her magical jet pack back to the corner house as Kermit, the dignitaries, and the other Muppets followed)
Queen Melody: We must hope the hotel survive. Otherwise there will be no more pixie dust. Life in Oslo will change forever. And no citizen will ever fly again.
(The Muppets all gasped, picturing life without pixie dust. The princess motioned to them)
Queen Melody: Hurry. We must do everything we can.
(INT. BLOOMSBURY CORNER HOUSE – DAY. Everyone in London began to prepare for the coming freeze. The citizens needed to make sure that they would be able to stay dry and warm until the wet and cold had passed)
Nawt: Get as many as you can, evacuate, and head for the boat at the Tower of London!
(Scooter escorted a group of penguins out of the penthouse)
Scooter: Hurry, guys! This way! Hop to it! That's it!
(Gonzo took Camilla and an armful of chickens and placed into the kennel, which Rowlf filled it up around them)
Rowlf: Snug as a bug.
(Dr. Teeth is directing the Electric Mayhem players (Janice, Lips, Floyd, Zoot))
Dr. Teeth: Come on, that's it. Just a little faster.
(EXT. BLOOMSBURY, LONDON – DAY. Meanwhile, Tulip was directing the citizens of the London to the boat)
TULIP: That's it, folks. Warp the blankets around the bodies, as many as you can! We must head for the boat!
(The Nerdlucks saw Kermit pass)
Pound: Mr. Froggy!
Blanko: Kermit! Do you need any help?
Kermit: No! This is my last run! I'll meet you at the Tower of London!
(Fozzie, Walter, and Animal watches them from the other side)
WALTER: Let's go get him.
(INT. TOUR TRAIN – DAY. Kermit were in the tour train in the London underground. He was checking that the several Muppets are all out)
Kermit: Rowlf, check! Gonzo, check! Scooter, check! Bunsen, check! So all of the gang is gone. Everybody's going to be fine.
(Suddenly, a twinkle caught Kermit's eye. He turned to see Clamina's frosted blue flower resting on the table at the living room. Floyd must have brought it to the tour train after they had taken Clamina back to the Winter Woods. Part of the frost casing had broken away. He couldn't believe what he saw. The flower's petal stretched wide in full bloom)
Kermit: It's still alive.
(Slowly, an idea began began to form in his mind. If the frost had helped keep the flower alive, then maybe…)
(Kermit looked out the window, in the direction of the Winter Woods)
Kermit: Clami.
(Fozzie, Walter, and Animal peered in)
Walter: Kermit! Kermit! Psst!
Fozzie: Kermit!
ANIMAL: Kermit.
(Kermit looked under his desk and was quite surprised)
Kermit: Fozzie. Walter. Animal.
Fozzie: We're here to look you you.
Walter: Yes! And we're got to go right now!
(Kermit takes the flower, just in case he wants to go into the Winter Woods)
(INT. LONDON UNDERGROUND – DAY. He led them outside where they could talk, even though it was freezing cold)
(Kermit was ecstatic to see his friends)
Kermit: Hey! I can't believe you're here. It's so good to see you guys!
(Fozzie put his hand on Kermit's shoulder)
Fozzie: Kermit, listen. An evil frog named Constantine has taken over the Muppets and replaced you!
Kermit: What? Constantine replaced me?
WALTER: Yeah. And he was working together with Dominic. They're planning something terrible, but we don't know what.
Fozzie: Kermit's back. Let's go.
(But Kermit didn't move)
Kermit: But… How could you not have noticed that he'd replaced me, Fozzie?
Fozzie: He looked like you and he talked like you. Okay, he didn't talk that much like you, come to think of it. But he said he had a cold.
Animal: Animal know.
Kermit: "Animal know"?
Animal: Mmm-hmm.
(Kermit couldn't believe what he was hearing)
Kermit: You mean, all this time, I've been on this incredible journey with the Winter Citizens to escape the flood, no one, not one single person from the Muppets except Animal noticed I'd been replaced by an evil criminal mastermind?
(Fozzie grimaced)
Fozzie: It sounds worse than it was.
Walter: No. It's as bad as it sounds.
Kermit: (SIGHS) I thought you guys had forgotten about me. That you didn't need me anymore.
Fozzie: We'd never forget about you.
Walter: We need you more than ever, Kermit.
Animal: Good frog.
(Suddenly, a newspaper girl skipped past them)
Newspaper Girl: Late extra! Late extra! Read all about it! Kermit and Miss Piggy to be married in the Tower of London!
(A bundle of newspapers was tossed to the ground. Kermit and the others could see the headline: KIND OF ROYAL WEDDING AT TOWER OF LONDON: KERMIT TO MARRY PIGGY TODAY AT 3 PM)
WALTER: What?
ANIMAL: Uh-oh.
(Kermit stared at the paper, stunned)
Kermit: Piggy?
(His friends were just as shocked)
(Kermit bent down and picked up a newspaper)
Kermit: Piggy's gonna marry the world's most dangerous frog today?
(Immediately, Kermit made a decision)
Kermit: Piggy and the gang are in danger! To London!
All: No. Kermit!
(There was only one problem: Gunshots!)
Kermit: Oh, yeah, I forget. I'm in a station. Sorry about that, Ivan!
Ivan the Guard: It's okay, Kermit! No problem, Kermit. It's easy mistake.
Kermit: Right. Thanks for not shooting me!
Ivan the Guard: Sure. No problem… Hey, nothing personal.
Kermit: We have to escape to the Winter Woods, guys. Today!
(Fozzie, Walter, and Animal looked at one another)
FOZZIE: But how?
Kermit: Well, the weakest point of crossing the border is over there by the fourth wall.
Walter: Okay. We're gonna have to break the fourth wall.
(Then Kermit, Fozzie, Walter, and Animal look at the audience, silence)
Fozzie: I don't think is gonna work, guys.
Kermit: I'm afraid you're right.
(Just then, a company worker walked up to them)
Company Worker: Kermit. Do you know where the vultures are supposed to go in the musical number?
KERMIT: Uh…
(Walter noticed the "Winter Woods" poster)
Walter: Wait! I've got it!
Fozzie: Bingo.
(A plan began to form…)
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. Clamina raced through the Winter Woods ahead of Trident. The elderly person was doing his best to keep up with her, but the blustery wind was strong and made it difficult for him to float)
Clamina: Trident, you've got to see this. There must be something wrong with IGP Inc.
Trident: Now don't worry… (EXCLAIMS)
Clamina: Whoa! Careful.
Trident: I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.
(As they reached the place where Clamina was taking him, he stopped short)
Trident: Oh! Oh, dear.
(EXT. PIXIE DUST WELL, UNIVERSITY OF WINTER – DAY. Clamina joined her friends Grotto, Sea Salt, Calypso, Chlorine, Sven, and Professor Wave at the edge of the Pixie Dust Well at the University of Winter. Normally, there would be a steady stream of pixie dust flowing from the pipe above it. But there was no flow of pixie dust now. There was nothing–not even a trickle)
(Trident examined the pipe and tapped his cane on it. One last speck of dust fell into his palm. He furrowed his brow)
Trident: Okay, you might want to worry just a little bit.
(At that moment, Clamina's wings began sparkling)
Clamina: Kermit?
(Clamina flew up and looked out over the white landscape. On the horizon, racing straight toward them was Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear, Walter, and Animal! He was carrying his winter coat so that his wings were exposed and he could fly. But they were quickly icing over)
Kermit: Clamina!
(He fought against the freezing gusts that whipped past him. There was no time to lose. Kermit had to reach his sister. All of London was counting on him! But the cold was just too strong. Before he could get there, Kermit fell to the ground in a heap. Clamina, Trident, and her friends rushed to where Kermit had fallen. Meanwhile, Kermit lifted his head from the snow. Something was wrong. He looked back at his wings. They had turned ice blue! Quickly, he hid them under his coat so Clamina wouldn't see how cold they had become)
(Clamina and her friends helped Kermit sit up)
Clamina: Kermit the Frog! Are you okay? Why would you fly here?
Kermit: I had to.
Clamina: Your jacket. Put on your jacket.
Kermit: IGP Inc.'s in trouble. There's a freeze and flood moving in, and the Tower of London is in danger.
Trident: Oh, that explains it.
Clamina: The pixie dust here, it already stopped flowing.
Kermit: I think there's something you can do. Can I have the flower, Fozzie?
(Fozzie handed Kermit the blue flower he'd brought with them)
Kermit: Your frost, it kept the flower alive.
Grotto: Oh! Oh! Oh! Frost does that. It's like a little blanket. It tucks the warm air inside and keeps out the cold.
Clamina: We could frost the boat before the freeze hits it.
(Kermit smiled. He had known that his sister would understand)
(But Sea Salt seemed doubtful)
Sea Salt: Uh, one question. What about our wings?
Trident: If it's a freeze and a flood, it will be cold and wet enough to cross.
(The citizens all looked at one another)
Sea Salt: Then what are we waiting for?
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. Minutes later, the citizens were flying back across the border. Fiona carried Kermit, Fozzie, Walter, and Animal, while the winter citizens zoomed overhead)
Kermit: We're almost to the border!
(As they passed through to Bloomsbury, they all stared in shock)
Clamina: Bloomsbury.
(Kermit gazes at the frozen landscape)
KERMIT: The freeze. It's moving so fast. Come on! We have to get to the boat!
(EXT. LONDON – DAY. Kermit, Walter, Animal, and the winter citizens were heading for the boat. Fozzie was being his best to keep up)
Fozzie: Can… Can we slow down a little? I'm dying here.
(Until, a vulture appeared)
Fozzie: It was just a figure of speech!
(Soon, all of vultures began surrounding them)
Clamina: They just sit there, watching us.
Kermit: I wish I knew what they were thinking.
Lone Gunslinger Vulture: (SINGING) Food, glorious food… we're anxious to try it
Female Vulture 1: Three banquets a day, our favorite diet!
Condor Chick: Just picture a citizen steak, fried, roasted or stewed
All Vultures: Oh, food, wonderful food, marvelous food, glorious food!
Food, glorious food,
Male Vulture 1: Poached bear served flambe,
Female Vulture 2: Broth made from a frog,
All Vultures: Or a princess-tooth souffle,
Why should we be fated to,
Do noting but brood,
On food, magical food, wonderful food, marvelous food?
Food, glorious food,
Flesh picked off the dead ones,
Rank, rotten, or chewed,
Soon, we'll be the fed ones!
Male Vulture 2: Just thinking of putrid meat
Female Vulture 3: Puts us in a mood for
All Vultures: Food, glorious food, marvelous food, fabulous food, beautiful food,
Condor Chick: Magical food,
All Vultures: Glorious food!
(Kermit, Fozzie, Clamina, Calypso, Chlorine, Sven, Sea Salt, Grotto, Walter, and Animal went hanging from a branch)
Clamina: There. Now you know what they were thinking.
(The branch finally broke and the friends fall to the ground)
WALTER: I can't believe that worked!
KERMIT: We did it! Great work, guys! Now put the pedal to the metal. We have a wedding to crash!
All: Yeah!
(EXT. MINEFIELD, LONDON – DAY. The whole landscape had changed, but with a little luck the exhausted group managed to make it to the top of a hill)
Kermit: (SINGING) Food, glorious food
CLAMINA AND CHLORINE: Kermit!
Kermit: What? It's catchy.
(Finally, they spied the floating thing the creepy vulture had described. It was a huge ark boat perched high atop a distant mountain at the middle of the Tower of London. They could see many different kinds of creatures and citizens streaming toward it from all directions)
CALYPSO: There it is.
Chlorine: We made it.
Walter: Yeah, we showed those scary vultures!
(They cheered, "Whoo-hoo!" Sea Salt tossed a big handful of snow in the air. It plopped down on Grotto's head. Grotto picked up another handful and slung it at her sister. Within seconds they were all laughing and tossing snowballs at each other in celebration)
Clamina & Calypso: (LAUGHING)
SEA SALT: Hey! (WHOOPING)
(Clamina and Calypso reached down into the snow for more ammo and accidentally touched arms. They looked into each other's eyes and were surprised by the deep connection they felt. Their hearts melted like the glaciers. Calypso flashed Clamina a mischievous grin and Clamina read her mind. They formed a big snowball and... Rat-tat-tat-tat! They shot quick rounds at Grotto and Sea Salt, Kermit, Fozzie, Walter, Animal, and Chlorine and Sven)
(Before the pals could retaliate, the whole hillside they were standing on suddenly gave way with a big whoosh)
All: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
(They were carried down by the mudslide and landed–Splat!–in a big hole, each one of them sticking out of the mud at a different angle, like a handful of tossed pickup sticks)
(Kermit, Fozzie, Walter, Animal, Grotto, and Sea Salt hauled themselves out of the hole first)
Chlorine: We raced the water and lost.
KERMIT: Question. Did the scary vulture say anything about exploding geysers?
(Before them lay a treacherous minefield pocked with steaming vents. Every now and then, seemingly without any rhyme or reason, one of the vents would blow, sending boiling hot water spouting high into the air)
Fozzie: Oh, it's just a little hot water and steam. How bad could it be?
LONE GUNSLINGER VULTURE: It's very simple.
(The LONE GUNSLINGER flies over the geyser field)
Lone Gunslinger Vulture: There's no escape.
(He swooped down and landed in front of them)
Lone Gunslinger Vulture: You're going to be boiled alive. It will be an instant of pain that feels like an…
(Before the Lone Gunslinger could finish its sentence, a geyser went off and blasted the bird to smithereens. Feathers drifted down around them like snow)
Walter: Now, that's a visual aid!
Fozzie: I just did something involuntary… and messy.
(Clamina stepped forward in an attempt to investigate the situation)
Clamina: Okay, come on.
(A geyser blew up right next to her)
Chlorine: Clami, get back! It's a minefield out there!
(Clamina stepped back and surveyed the land before her, as geysers blew up all around the group)
(One by one poles began to lose their grip and fall)
Sea Salt: Grotto, I'm too young to die!
Grotto: Actually, we have really short life spans, so you're kinda due.
Clamina: There's only one way to go… Straight through.
Calypso: Straight through? We'd like to keep the frosts on our bodies, thank you. We'll head back and go around. That's safer.
CLAMINA: No. No. There's no time. The dam will burst before we make it. We'll drown!
(She walked up to Calypso and started his right in the face)
Calypso: If we go through this, we get blown to bits.
(As the two fought, water started to seep into the ground, covering the citizens' feet. Blasts of steam and water continued to shoot up all around them. Chlorine, Kermit, Sven, Animal, Fozzie, and Walter exchanged nervous glances)
Clamina: We go forward.
Calypso: We go back!
Clamina: Forward!
Calypso: Back!
Clamina: Forward!
Calypso: Back!
(Clamina stood up straight to tower over Calypso, hoping to assert some authority. Calypso responded by straightening himself up as well, standing eye to eye with Clamina. The tension was rising as the group stood still, scared to move for fear of walking right into an active geyser)
Chlorine: Can I say something?
Both: No!
Clamina: You are so stubborn and hardheaded!
Calypso: Well, I guess that proves it. I am a Frost Prince!
(He turned to leave)
Calypso: Come on.
(He started to walk, and Grotto and Sea Salt followed close behind him)
Clamina: Fine.
(Clamina hung her head in frustration and breathed a sigh. She walked away angrily with her group, as Calypso walked away with his)
(Clamina marched right into the geyser field, without hesitating to plan out a route. Kermit, Fozzie, Chlorine, Animal, Sven, and Walter just followed right behind her, trying to stay as close as possible to their leader. Geysers shot up all around them)
Kermit: I don't know. Drowning sounds like a much gentler way to go. Blown to bits sounds so… sudden.
(Kermit continued to shriek at random moments while geyser shot up all around him. As the group made their way through the geysers, Clamina lost in her frustration and anger, kept on walking. Kermit stopped to tiptoe around the geysers, and after a few minutes at this pace, Clamina was way ahead of him)
Kermit: She's gonna get herself killed! Clami, wait! Clami!
(Clamina marched on, paying no attention to the explosions surrounding her, when a geyser erupted, blowing her backwards. Stunned, she listened to the voices repeating in her head)
AARDVARK DAD: Kids, look! A Frost Princess!
KERMIT: I just heard you're going extinct.
CALYPSO: Bravery is just dumb.
CLAMINA: You can't be two things!
GROTTO: He thinks you're a jerk and to go away!
BIRD: Where's your big happy family?
Clamina: (V.O.) What if I am a Frost Princess?
CALYPSO: What's wrong with you? (VOICE ECHOING)
(Chlorine and Sven ran up to Clamina and snapped her out of her stupor)
Chlorine: Hey, come on! We gotta go! Now!
(Clamina watched as more and more geysers exploded into the air. How would they get out of this mess?)
CALYPSO: Hey, guys! Head out from the tree, pass three geysers, and then go left.
(Clamina glanced up. She saw Calypso perched on the branch of a tree)
Clamina: What are you doing up there?
Calypso: The geysers are blowing in a pattern. I can see it from here.
(Calypso promised to guide his friends through the exploding geyser field. He would then follow his own directions to safety)
Calypso: As you said, a Frost Prince never forgets.
(Clamina helped herself up. She wasn't crazy about Calypso's plan, but there was no other way. So with Chlorine, Sven, Kermit, Walter, Fozzie, and Animal behind her, Clamina moved out)
Chlorine: That way!
Calypso: Go left! Good! Now cut right! Awesome!
(The group zigzagged through the exploding maze. The group ran out of the geyser field into safe territory. They were almost at the boat. After a few close calls, they were home free)
Calypso: You did it!
(He was about to climb down from the tree when–)
(Boom! Boom! Boom!)
(Calypso froze. A bunch of geysers were exploding all around him!)
Calypso: Oh, boy.
(The tree underneath him burst into splinters. He had to get out of the field fast!)
(Calypso could hardly see through the thick mist. He could hear the guys cheering him on as he crisscrossed the exploding geysers)
(The ground rumbled and began to split. On one side of the deep crack stood Clamina, Kermit, Walter, Animal, Fozzie, Chlorine, and Sven. On the other side stood Calypso and Grotto and Sea Salt)
Calypso: We're okay!
(Clamina stared at the crack. It was too deep for them to cross)
Clamina: Calypso, go around the city. We'll meet you at the boat!
CALYPSO: Last one there is a fossil!
(By now, boiling water was pouring through the world fair and heading for the dam)
Clamina: The worst is behind us. But it's catching up to us quickly.
(Time was running out for the migrating citizens. Would they make it to the boat and the Tower of London? Or would the raging flood waters halt them permanently?)
(EXT. ENTRANCE, TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. The guests entered the waiting line at the Tower of London. Crowds gathered as policemen with dogs patrolled the surrounding streets)
FOZZIE: That's a nice venue.
(Nearby, Kermit, Walter, Fozzie, and Animal looked out from the truck)
(Kermit frowned)
KERMIT: The main entrance is too well-guarded. I'm gonna need to get in some other way.
(He scanned the area and noticed a service entrance, where caterers and florists were making deliveries)
Young Florist: Here you go.
(Quickly, Kermit got in line to pick up a flower bouquet)
Young Florist: You're the new guy?
Kermit: Yes, I am. The new guy.
Young Florist: Next time, wear a uniform.
Kermit: Right.
(He took the flowers and hid behind the bouquet as he made his way inside the Tower)
(EXT. TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. Everything looked good–until Dominic stopped him)
Dominic: What are you doing here?
(Kermit jumped in surprise)
Dominic: You're supposed to be getting ready, Number One.
(He thinks that Kermit was Constantine)
Dominic: And also, your mole thing is showing.
(Kermit quickly launched into a Constantine impression)
Kermit: (as Constantine) Ah, yes. Yes, of course. I know that, you complete idiot. Why do you think I am walking around with these flowers to cover my face?
(Dominic was confused)
Dominic: All right. Calm down.
Kermit: Thank you. (as Constantine) For nothing!
(He left and walked inside the gates of the Tower of London)
(INT. MISS PIGGY'S ROOM, TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. Melinda, flanked by Orchid, Lily and Big Daddy, are in front of----)
(---Miss Piggy and the rest of the Muppets)
Melinda: We came as soon as you called.
Miss Piggy: I called to talk to Kermit. It never occurred to me he wouldn't be there.
Big Daddy: Orchid is talking to Scotland Yard now.
Lily: And the Nerdlucks are in touch with their friends in the British military.
Melinda: You just need to focus on the wedding.
Miss Piggy: I know but, Melinda with everything going on, I'm not sure...
(Someone's entering the bedroom. Everyone parts, revealing CONSTANTINE)
Miss Piggy: Kermit.
Constantine: I'm sorry to interrupt.
Miss Piggy: It's all right.
Constantine: I just wanted to personally thank you. Because after Ireland, I was finished, and then you gave me one last shot.
Miss Piggy: Listen...
Constantine: I probably shouldn't be saying this, but I hope you marry today.
(Miss Piggy takes this in. She looks at Melinda)
Melinda: Kermit would want you to marry.
Miss Piggy: All right. For Kermit.
(INT. HALLWAY, TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. Kermit opened a side door and let in Fozzie, Animal, and Walter)
Fozzie: Wow, Kermit, you were like James Bond back there.
Kermit: Thanks, Fozzie. It felt pretty good, actually.
(Kermit knew there was no time to waste. They had to find Miss Piggy!)
Kermit: Okay, listen, guys. Walter, you take Animal and go look in the chapel at the boat.
Walter: Right.
Kermit: Fozzie, you come with me.
Fozzie: Yes, sir.
Kermit: Good luck, guys.
Walter: You too, Kermit.
(The two groups split up)
(INT. CONSTANTINE'S ROOM, TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. Fozzie and Kermit headed for Miss Piggy's dressing room. But she wasn't there. So they headed to the groom's dressing room)
KERMIT: Piggy?
(But she wasn't in there, either)
Kermit: Where is she?
(Fozzie noticed)
Fozzie: Kermit, these are your clothes.
(He reached for one but slipped, knocking over a full-length mirror. It fell and shattered!)
Kermit: Shh!
CONSTANTINE: This tuxedo is too tight.
Kermit: Someone's coming! Hide! Hide!
(Fozzie dropped to the ground and pretended to be a bear rug)
CONSTANTINE: Which room am I supposed to be in? Ah, here it is.
(Kermit picked up the frame from the mirror and put it back on its stand–just as Constantine walked through the dressing room door)
(Kermit noticed that Constantine was wearing a tux and quickly put on one himself)
Constantine: Ach, I hate weddings.
(He looked in the mirror. But the mirror wasn't there! Instead, Kermit imitated each movement. When Constantine looked left, Kermit looked the same direction. When Constantine combed his hair, Kermit combed his own. When Constantine put on a hat, Kermit grabbed a hat that didn't match. But Constantine wasn't tipped off. He leaned close to the "mirror" to inspect the hat. Kermit moved closer, too. Their noses almost touched. Constantine was about to say something when Dominic walked through the door)
Constantine: What the… Ah. There you are. Well, don't just stand there gawping, Number Two. Come in.
Dominic: How did you do that?
CONSTANTINE: Do what?
(Dominic took a step forward, right onto Fozzie)
Fozzie: Ow! I mean, nothing.
(Luckily, Fozzie's comment was ignored)
Constantine: Whatever. Let us take this convenient opportunity to review our plans, hmm? Once you've stolen the Crown Jewels and framed the Muppets, ring the tower bell five times and we will rendezvous on the roof and make our escape in the honeymoon helicopter.
Dominic: But what will you do when you're married? Because the pig will know everything.
(Constantine shook his head)
Constantine: Phase four. I do not plan to be married for long.
Dominic: Yeah, but if you get divorced, you have to share the Crown Jewels with her fifty-fifty.
Constantine: I will not be getting divorced, you idiot. As soon as she's served her purpose, kaboom. It will be smoked ham and bacon for breakfast. No one, no one can stop me, now. (LAUGHING EVILLY)
(The champagne delivery man arrived)
Delivery Man: Champagne fridge delivery. For Mr., uh… The Frog.
CONSTANTINE: Ah, yes. Put it over there on the bear-skin rug.
(They moved the champagne fridge and putted it right on top of Fozzie!)
FOZZIE: Ooh!
Constantine: Thank you! (to Dominic) It's show time.
(After Constantine and Dominic left, Kermit helped Fozzie up from the floor)
Kermit: Fozzie, are you okay?
Fozzie: (flat) Yeah, I think so. How do I look?
Kermit: You look fine. You look fine. Come on, we have to go rescue Miss Piggy!
Fozzie: Right! Let's go!
(INT. HALLWAY, TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. He and Fozzie ran out of the dressing room–and right into Sam the Eagle and Jean Pierre)
Jean Pierre: The Lemur! I have you finally!
(Sam the Eagle jumped in)
Sam the Eagle: And Constantine, the world's most dangerous frog!
Jean Pierre: This game is finally over between us, and I am the winner!
Sam the Eagle: Captured together. We are victorious, my French friend.
Kermit: No, no, no.
Sam the Eagle: As you might say, case sol-ved!
(Jean Pierre has instantly changed into beach clothes)
Jean Pierre: Perfect! Time for my annual eight-week paid vacation. Au revoir.
French Woman: Au revoir.
(As Jean Pierre left, Sam the Eagle shouted after him)
Sam the Eagle: No, wait! What am I supposed to do with them until the mobile holding unit arrives?
(But he didn't hear him)
Jean Pierre: On holiday!
(They were already in vacation mode. So Sam the Eagle had no choice…)
(EXT. THE TOWER OF LONDON – MOMENTS LATER. But to stuff Kermit and Fozzie into the tiny Le Maximum. He handcuffed them to the steering wheel so they wouldn't escape)
KERMIT: No, you've got the wrong frog.
Sam the Eagle: And stay there! Hmph!
(Sam the Eagle left)
(INT. HALLWAY, THE TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. Constantine and Dominic walked down a hallway)
Constantine: Oh, and so you should know, Number Two, I have hired us help, to keep you honest. Number Twos have a habit of betraying their Number Ones. Here, meet your accomplices. The world's smallest team of jewel thieves.
(They stood a Muppet named BOBBY BENSON, surrounded by his band of babies)
Bobby Benson: Salutations. Babies, meet your new boss.
(Constantine smiled wryly)
Constantine: Genius, I know! Who would suspect babies of stealing the Crown Jewels? Look at their sweet faces.
Babies: (BLOWING RASPBERRIES)
(Dominic looked closely at their smushed faces, but didn't think they were sweet at all. But he knew he had no choice. He headed off with the Babies)
Constantine: Good luck, Number Two.
Dominic: You too, Number One.
(INT. CHAPEL, BOAT – DAY. Link Hogthrob finds the seats in the pews)
LINK HOGTHROB: Let's see. Where am I seated? I'll need an usher. Usher? Is there an Usher?
(The Usher appears beside him)
Usher: Yes. I'm the Usher. Pig or Frog?
Link Hogthrob: What do you think?
Usher: I don't know, man. Pig?
Link Hogthrob: No. Frog. I'm related through marriage. What kind of an usher are you?
Usher: (SIGHS)
(Scooter and Rowlf greeted the Disney Channel stars: Bridgit Mendler, Debby Ryan, Tyrel Jackson Williams, and Jake Short)
Scooter: Hey, there. Can we help you guys?
Tyrel Jackson Williams: Yeah, we're the Disney synergy invites. This is out row.
Rowlf: What's synergy?
Jake Short: It's the interaction of multiple elements in a system.
Scooter: Okay, see you soon.
(EXT. THE TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. Kermit gagged, gargled, and coughed. Then he did it again. And again. And again!)
Fozzie: Kermit, are you carsick?
Kermit: (COUGHS) I swallowed a hairpin months ago, in case something like this should happen. It's one of those things you learn in winter, Fozzie.
Fozzie: Hmm.
(He coughed up a hairpin and secured it with his lips)
Kermit: Give me your paw.
Fozzie: Huh? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
(Kermit then skillfully maneuvered it down to Fozzie's cuffed hand)
Fozzie: Ew, that's slimy.
(And then he dropped it)
Kermit: Fozzie! I had that in my gullet for three months.
(He looked for it on the floor, but it was out of reach)
Fozzie: I'm sorry, but that was just gross.
Kermit: Good grief.
(INT. HALLWAY, THE TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. Dominic and the Babies turned a corner and reached a dead end. Dominic looked at the map, confused. Then he brushed away some dirt on the wall, revealing an ancient-looking keyhole. He took out Thomas Blood's key, put it in the hole, and turned it slowly. Down by his legs, a small hidden doorway opened)
Dominic: Wow, people really were smaller in the old days. You're up, little dudes.
Baby Boss: Go, go, go.
(The Babies crawled down the dusty, cobwebbed passage. It was clear they had done this kind of thing before as they moved in strict formation. One of them made a hand signal and popped out a stone block. Then they threw down a rope made of baby blankets. One by one, and in complete silence, they climbed down into the lobby where the Crown Jewels were kept)
(Once the Babies were all in the lobby, they crawled toward the front door. The door's lock was far above their heads. What to do? They quickly formed a baby pyramid, and the top baby opened the lock. Dominic was on the other side of the door. Once he heard the click of the lock, he dashed inside, closing the door behind them)
(EXT. THE TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. The two friends were still handcuffed inside Le Maximum. In the distance, they could hear Big Ben chime. It was three o'clock)
Kermit: The wedding, it's starting.
(He notices that Miss Piggy is wearing her wedding gown)
Kermit: She looks beautiful.
(Fozzie looked at his friend)
Fozzie: Sorry, Kermit. We tried. We really did.
(Kermit hung his head. How was he going to save Miss Piggy now?)
(Kermit was going crazy. Things were getting worse)
Kermit: Fozzie, we got to do something.
Fozzie: Oh, this is so frustrating!
(In protest, he banged his foot on the floor of the car–and his foot went right through!)
Fozzie: Wow, would you look at that? Now that's a poorly made car.
(Kermit looked down and pushed both his feet through the floor)
Kermit: Let's get out of here!
(Through the car's now-open floor, the pair used their feet and "walked" the car closer to the Tower)
Kermit: Bear left.
Fozzie: Right, frog.
(With some pulling and pushing, they extracted themselves from the car but were still attached to the steering wheel)
Fozzie: Wait a second, it's made of marzipan!
(He took a bite of the steering wheel, quickly freeing them both)
(Nearby, a basement window in the Tower opened and Walter stuck out his friend)
WALTER: Psst! Kermit! This way.
(EXT. WAITING LINE, THE TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. Chlorine, Fozzie, Kermit, Animal, Clamina, Sven, and Walter made to the trail to the boat. It was chaotic. Hordes of people and creatures pushed and shoved and spat and hissed at one another. Two vultures fly above the crowd, making announcements)
VULTURE: Do not leave your children unattended. All unattended children will be eaten.
(Chlorine, Sven, Fozzie, Kermit, Animal, Clamina, and Walter pressed through the crowd, searching for Calypso. Clamina asked he passed)
Clamina: Have you seen a Frost Prince?
Male Shovelmouth: No. Sorry.
Clamina: Have you seen a Frost Prince?
Female Macrauchenia: No. No, I haven't.
Chlorine: Snowman about 11 foot tall?
Aardvark Mom: Uh-uh.
(Clamina makes her way through the crowd until she finds the glyptodon)
Clamina: Hey, buddy, have you seen a Frost Prince?
Glyptodon: I sure have. Big as life.
Clamina: Where?
Glyptodon: I'm looking at him.
Clamina: Not me.
(The glyptodon leaned over to his wife)
Glyptodon: Poor guy. Doesn't know he's a Frost Citizen. Hey, I saw another one.
(A loud, thundering rumble came from across London and the Winter Woods. Everyone turned toward it at once)
Glyptodon: Hey, I saw another one.
Clamina: Where?
Glyptodon: It's you again.
(EXT. THE TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. Sam the Eagle was still standing guard until he spotted Kermit and Fozzie fleeing)
Sam the Eagle: What! (yelling into his radio) Code Red! Code Red!
(INT. THE TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. A Baby tossed a sack of dust in the air, revealing a terrifying spiderweb of security lasers)
Dominic: Oh, come on. Not a laser web.
BABY: Ooh, pretty.
Dominic: Right. Go and get the suspend-y ropey thing. And my really cool skintight outfit.
Baby Boss: Yep.
(EXT. LONDON – DAY. Sam the Eagle was trying to reach Jean Pierre)
Sam the Eagle: Shawn, come back from vacation! Constantine and the Lemur have escaped. They're on the loose! The Crown Jewels are in danger!
(INT. THE TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. The Babies did what they were told, soon Dominic was all decked out in his special outfit. Attached to a wire from above, he elegantly danced through the web of lasers, careful not to set one off)
(EXT. WAITING LINE, THE TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. Clamina found Chlorine and Sven)
Clamina: I don't see him anywhere!
Chlorine: Maybe he's already on board.
(The rumble echoed off the sides of London and the Winter Woods, increasing steadily in volume and intensity. The terrified citizens pushed and shoved to get near the boat)
(Kermit, Fozzie, Walter, and Animal looked shocked)
Walter: Oh, no.
Kermit: The dam must have been a nightmare.
(Robin, the one Rizzo said about the expense of other long-standing, beloved Muppets appeared next to to his uncle)
Robin: Uncle Kermit!
Kermit: Robin!
Robin: There's a guy that getting on the boat wasn't easy, Uncle Kermit.
Walter: Who?
Robin: It's the picky gatekeeper bird named Gustav.
Chlorine: Wait a second, who's Gustav?
(INT. THE TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. When he was at last in front of the Crown Jewels, he fit Blood's locket into an ancient coat of arms in the wall. There was a whirring and a clicking…then…silence)
(Then all the glass case holding the jewels opened! Dominic dropped down next to the Crown Jewels)
Dominic: Thank you, Thomas Blood.
(EXT. WAITING LINE, THE TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. An officious secretary bird named GUSTAV manned the entrance. Two big rhinos stood behind him like linebackers)
Gustav: Passengers, please! Rub your bellies, roll over on your backs, do whatever you do to calm yourselves down.
(Clamina, Chlorine, and Sven tried to push past the beefy bodyguards)
CLAMINA: Let us through. We have to find someone.
Chlorine: A snowman about 11 feet tall.
(Kermit saw that the ENTIRE ANAHEIM GANG is here)
Kermit: What are you guys doing here?
Melinda: We're here because of you, Kermit.
Lily: Is everything okay?
Kermit: No, everything's not okay. The dam is bursting. Let us though, now.
(Gustav pinned them with his beady eye)
GUSTAV: Attention! This is the pre-boarding announcement.
(A huge flock of birds whooshed overhead, heading out of the dangerous valley at top speed)
Gustav: And you must have missed it. At this time, we're only boarding passengers with mates.
All: Mates?
(Two frizzy-furred females immediately began to quarrel over a scrawny male mammal of the same species)
Frizzy Female 1: He's mine!
Frizzy Female 2: I saw him first!
(Kermit looked at Gustav)
Kermit: What if you don't have a mate? We're looking for Miss Piggy.
Gustav: Then you must travel standby.
Chlorine: What's standby travel?
Gustav: You stand by, and we travel.
(Suddenly, the pavilion shook with tremors)
ROBIN: Isn't there anyone else we can talk to?
GUSTAV: Mother Nature will be here any moment to field questions.
(EXT. GLACIER FOUNTAIN, THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. Scrat climbed back onto the nest. They finally got his acorn back)
(Abruptly, he heard the bird squawk. Scrat saw that the mother condor is carrying her son and head to the boat at London. The chick looks at Scrat for the last time and did the cut throat face. How funny is that?)
(Suddenly, Scrat heard the rumble. He turned his attention and saw the cracks on the dam. A spout burst through the wall. Another spout came out. And another. And another. Just then, a spout pushed Scrat off the nest)
(Boom! At that moment, the entire ice dam exploded. The rushing, churning flood pounded through the Winter Woods, obliterating everything)
(EXT. WAITING LINE, THE TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. Clamina knew they had to get on the boat before the dam broke, or else)
Clamina: What about you? You don't have a mate!
Gustav: Okay, okay, the rule does not apply to me. But I do have power. So whatever I say goes!
(That was a bad answer!)
(The citizens and creatures glared at Gustav)
(But while they argued, the glacier at the end of the Winter Woods had begun creaking and booming and cracking and splintering under the tremendous pressure of the water behind it. The ground shook)
(Just then, the boarding alarm went off)
Robin: Boarding with mates might be a bad idea, Uncle Kermit!
Clamina: Attention! At this time, we want everyone boarding now!
Citizens: Yeeeeeaaaahhhhhh!
(The hundreds of panicked creatures and citizens scrambled onto the boat)
GUSTAV: Me! Me! I'm in charge here!
Clamina: Hurry! This way! Come on! Get going!
(EXT. TOWER BRIDGE, LONDON – DAY. Calypso, Grotto, and Sea Salt rode Fiona as a shortcut to the boat. Fiona stopped and they saw the boat in the distance)
Calypso: There it is.
(Suddenly, they heard the ominous rumble of a landslide)
GROTTO: Calypso… Help, whoa!
(A boulder crashed down and landed inches from Fiona. Then more rocks rained down making a tunnel)
SEA SALT: Whoa!
Calypso: Come on, come on, run!
(As when they reached the end of the tunnel, the giant boulder landed beside them, trapping them inside a cave)
(INT. CAVE, TOWER BRIDGE, LONDON – DAY. Calypso and his friends tried to shove a boulder out of the cave's opening)
Sea Salt: Push.
(It was too heavy and more debris was accumulating behind it by the second)
Calypso: You guys gotta go.
Grotto: We're not leaving you!
(Calypso dragged Grotto and Sea Salt outside)
Calypso: I'm not asking.
Sea Salt: Calypso, no.
(Calypso stuffed Grotto and Sea Salt through the one remaining crack in the opening)
(EXT. LONDON – DAY. Grotto pointed to the boat nearby)
Sea Salt: Calypso, don't worry! We're going for help!
Grotto: Stay here!
CALYPSO: Duh!
(The waves roared and crashed through the streets of London. Cretaceous and Maelstrom, the horrible water reptiles were swept up in the cresting wave)
(EXT. WAITING LINE, THE TOWER OF LONDON – DAY. Grotto and Sea Salt's voices rang out loudly above the roar of the crowd)
Sea Salt: Help us!
Grotto: Help!
Sea Salt: Somebody help…
Grotto: Clamina!
(The two winter citizens ran through the crowd)
SEA SALT: Clami!
(Clamina looked around and spotted the two winter citizens elbowing their way toward her)
GROTTO: Clami!
SEA SALT: It's Calypso!
Grotto: He's trapped in the cave!
(At once Clamina raced off the boat, down the trail, and across a rickety bridge toward the cave)
(EXT. LONDON – DAY. Clamina crossed first, with Kermit, Robin, Fozzie, Chlorine, Sven, Walter, and Animal sprinting to catch up. Clamina looked and saw that the flood had finally arrived. Balancing rocks toppled like marbles in the ocean. Geysers became underwater jets. In a matter of seconds, everything was changed. But just as the winter citizens hit the bridge, a giant wave swept it away, dumping them all into the rising water)
ROBIN: Get back, Uncle Kermit!
(INT. CAVE, TOWER BRIDGE, LONDON – DAY. Meanwhile, the water level in Calypso's cave had risen in his feet)
(EXT. LONDON – DAY. Grotto and Sea Salt grabbed onto a tree)
Grotto: Go save our snowman, Clami!
(Clamina grabbed a tree and jammed it into the small cave opening from where Grotto and Sea Salt had escaped)
Clamina: Calypso!
Calypso: Clami?
(She pushed and pulled on tree trunk, trying to dislodge the boulder)
(Grotto and Sea Salt were in trouble)
Grotto: Help!
(Kermit, Fozzie, Walter, and Animal noticed their friends clinging to a tree)
Kermit: We Muppets will save you!
(He and the three Muppets dove off the ledge of the boat and Kermit promptly clonked his head on a block of ice, knocking himself out)
Grotto: Great. Who's gonna save them?
(They try and fish Walter, Kermit, Animal, and Fozzie out of the water, grabbing him by Kermit's mouth)
Sea Salt: You really need to brush.
(Chlorine and Sven looked at Kermit, Fozzie, Walter, and Animal. He looked at the winter citizens clinging to their tree for dear life. If he didn't save them, no one would. He mustered all his fish courage and crouched to spring)
Chlorine: (GROANS) Okay, okay, okay. Jump in… now!
(But nothing happened. His fins refused to move)
Chlorine: (GROANS) Come on, fraidy fish. Come on! You can do this, you can do this, you can do this.
(The winter citizens tried to keep Kermit, Fozzie, Walter, and Animal from floating away)
SEA SALT: No!
(Still he remained frozen in place, coiled to spring, eyes closed)
Chlorine: Trust your instincts. Attack the water. I am not your prey. I am not your prey. I am not… your… prey!
(He leaped!)
Chlorine: Ahhhhhhhhh!
(The gramma splashed into the water, all fins flailing. The winter citizens saw him go down. They shook their heads, imagining the worst, when suddenly Chlorine burst up through the surface of the water, gasping for breath)
(INT. CAVE, TOWER BRIDGE, LONDON – DAY. Meanwhile, the water level in Calypso's cave had risen nearly to the top of his raised arm. His head bumped against the ceiling. More and more water kept rushing in!)
(EXT. LONDON – DAY. Clamina continues to dislodge the boulder while the winter citizens are still keeping Kermit, Fozzie, Walter, and Animal from floating away)
(Chlorine wasn't sinking!)
Chlorine: Uh-huh. Attack the water. Stalking the prey. Claw! Kick! Even babies can do it! Come on! Claw! Kick! Claw! Kick! Hey! I'm stalking the prey!
(It was working! Chlorine grabbed Grotto, Animal, and Fozzie. But Walter, Kermit, and Sea Salt floated away from her)
GROTTO: Sea Salt!
(Chlorine placed Grotto, Fozzie, and Animal on his back and paddled after Kermit, Walter, and Sea Salt. He helped Grotto, Animal, and Fozzie onto his head alongside Walter and Sea Salt, but Kermit was sinking before his eyes. He took a deep breath and dove for him. After a few seconds he rose up out of the water, the two winter citizens and three Muppets still clinging to his back. Kermit was hanging limply from his arms)
(Sven and Robin helped Chlorine set Kermit gently down on the ice and then collapsed next to him, breathless and sputtering. Kermit's eyes popped open)
Kermit: You did it, buddy. You kicked water's butt.
Chlorine: Nothing to it. Most people can swim as babies, you know.
Kermit: Yeah, but not fish. I left that part out.
(EXT. LONDON – DAY. The water was nearly over her head now, and the big rock wasn't budging)
(INT. CAVE, TOWER BRIDGE, LONDON – DAY. Just as the water was about to reach the ceiling inside the cave, cutting off Calypso's air completely, he managed to stick his arm through the opening for another breath)
(EXT. LONDON – DAY. Clamina continued to try and pry the boulder out with the tree trunk. She came up for air for a second while Fozzie, Kermit, Robin, Sea Salt, Animal, Chlorine, Sven, Grotto, and Walter watched in horror)
Kermit: There she is!
(Clamina swam to the cave's opening where Calypso's arm is sticking)
Clamina: Calypso! Hold on to me!
(She took Calypso's hand. Abruptly, she was instantly pulled underwater by Cretaceous. The villainous reptile was back!)
(INT. CAVE, TOWER BRIDGE, LONDON – DAY. Soon Calypso's eyes were bulging and his cheeks were turning blue. He couldn't hold his breath much longer)
(INT. LONDON – DAY. Cretaceous had her by the tail. Maelstrom joined his buddy and the two of them zeroed in for an underwater attack. They banged and bit and fin-smacked Clamina from all angles)
(Wham! Clamina landed a deft kick on Maelstrom's monstrous head. It dazed the reptile just long enough for Clamina to swim free. She popped up and gasped for air. She paddled against the current, trying to keep her head above water)
Kermit: Clami! Clami, behind you!
(Back underwater, Clamina could see the cave with the log still jammed in the opening. She swam toward it, the nasty water reptiles right behind her. Just as they were about to ram into Clamina with all their strength, she swam out of the way, leaving them to smash into the tree, dislodging the boulder. The giant boulder rolled on top of Cretaceous and Maelstrom, pushing them far beneath the surface)
(Calypso floated out of the cave, unconscious. Fozzie, Kermit, Robin, Sea Salt, Animal, Chlorine, Sven, Grotto, and Walter were waiting for them from the cave. Where are they? Suddenly, Clamina and Calypso's arms stick out from the water!)
Grotto: There they are!
WALTER: Whoo-hoo!
SEA SALT: They made it!
(They cheered and whooped as Fiona carried Calypso and Clamina gently to shore where Kermit, Chlorine, Sven, Animal, Fozzie, and Walter helped him pull Clamina and Calypso out of the water)
(Grotto and Sea Salt hugged Calypso)
Sea Salt: We thought we'd never see you again.
(Calypso opened her eyes and looked at the smiling Clamina. He rose to his feet to stand beside her)
Kermit: We're gonna live!
(Until, he saw his feet getting wet. The water is continuing to rise all around them)
Kermit: We're gonna die!
(The group climbs onto Fiona and rode to the boat)
(EXT. DECK, BOAT – DAY. Back at the boat, Queen Melody, the Nerdlucks, Tulip, the Muppets, and all the citizens were hard at work trying to protect the boat)
Bang: That's it, Poundy.
(They passed thick, mossy blankets to one another and carefully laid them along the decks. But for every blanket they put in place, the cold wind whipped another one off)
Pound: Queen Melody, it's not working.
Nawt: The wind, it's too strong!
(The princess's face was etched with worry. Suddenly, they heard a growl behind them. Everyone turned and watched in disbelief as Kermit, Clamina, Fozzie, Walter, Animal, Robin, Chlorine, Calypso, Grotto, and Sea Salt rode up to them on Fiona's back)
Queen Melody: Kermit.
Kermit: Queen Melody! They can help.
Clamina: Our frost, it covers like a blanket. It can protect them.
(Queen Melody studied Kermit's face for a moment. Then she turned to Clamina, Grotto, and Sea Salt)
Queen Melody: Do it.
(The warm-weather citizens and creatures all watched hopefully as Clamina and her friends began frosting the boat as quickly as they could. But the freeze was advancing fast)
Robin: It's getting colder.
Kermit: Let's hand out the blankets. They'll keep us warm! Hurry, Clami. Hurry!
(They began distributing blankets to all the warm-weather citizens. One by one, everyone began hurrying inside the boat. It would be warm and safe in there until the freeze passed)
(Meanwhile, up above, Clamina, Grotto, and Sea Salt were growing tired)
Kermit: That's it. There you go! Make sure to cover your bodies!
Sea Salt: The boat! It's too big. We're never going to make it.
(It was getting closer by the minute)
Clamina: I'm sorry.
(Just then, far off in the distance, an owl screeched. Everyone (Tulip, Gonzo, Janice, Queen Melody, Sea Salt, Walter, Fozzie, Animal, Clamina, Kermit, Scooter, Beaker, Floyd, Grotto, Lily, the Nerdlucks, Zoot, Dr. Teeth, Rowlf) turned toward the sound. Lord Milori was flying in on his majestic snowy owl! Beside him, Trident was perched on the back of the young owl that had first carried Kermit into the Winter Woods)
Trident: Whoopsie! Ha!
(And together, they were leading an entire squadron of winter citizens toward the boat! There were hundreds of them)
(Clamina flies up to the crowd of flying winter citizens to meet up with their leader)
Clamina: Lord Milori.
Lord Milori: We've come to help.
Trident: Now, you didn't think I was going to let you do this all by yourself, now did you?
Clamina: The boat should be our top priority. But any citizen we can spare should try to frost the other pavilions.
(Lord Milori faced the army of winter citizens)
Lord Milori: Start at the freeze line and spread out to Spring and Summer. The rest of you, cover the boat!
(Instantly, the winter citizens sprang into action. Lord Milori directed the citizens blanketing the boat from atop his owl)
TULIP: Oh, my goodness!
Pound: Look, Bupkus! The snowy owls!
(The blanket blew away from Lily)
Lily: Ah!
(Calypso grabbed the blanket and give it to Lily)
Lily: Thank you!
Calypso: Stay warm.
(Then he flew off to join the other winter citizens)
Lily: Oh.
(Calypso led a group of winter citizens to get all the warm citizens and creatures into the boat while the others frost the boat)
Calypso: Now!
(The frost citizens frost London. Soon, all of IGP Inc. was a glittering landscape of frost. The last brown patch in the boat was covered)
Lord Milori: We're done all we can. Join the others.
(Already high above them, on the steep icy wall of London, the rejected, dejected Scrat was pounding his acorns into the wall, one by one, creating their very own escape ladder)
(Lord Milori, Clamina, and the group of frost citizens swooped down to the ground and he looked at Kermit and his friends (Tulip, Gonzo, Janice, Queen Melody, Walter, Fozzie, Animal, Clamina, Scooter, Beaker, Floyd, Lily, the Nerdlucks, Zoot, Dr. Teeth, Rowlf))
Lord Milori: The freeze is upon us. You must take cover.
Pound: Follow me.
Walter: Hurry.
(Clamina looked at Kermit)
Clamina: Oh, I hope it works.
POUND: Kermit!
(Kermit and the other Muppets left)
(Queen Melody and Lord Milori are left behind when she looked at Lord Milori and shivered)
Queen Melody: Will everything be all right?
(Lord Milori gazed at the queen for a long time)
Lord Milori: I don't know. I've never seen anything like this.
(Queen Melody shivered again. Lord Milori took off his cloak and gently placed it around her shoulders)
Queen Melody: Thank you, Milori.
Lord Milori: Please take cover.
(When her old friend turned, she could see his broken wing. The legend that she had told Kermit was in fact the story of her love for Lord Milori. Without another word, she joined the others in the depths of the boat on top of the mountain to wait for the freeze to arrive)
Lord Milori: Winter Citizens, stand guard.
(Lord Milori and the winter citizens stood watch as the freeze took hold of IGP Inc. Arctic winds swept across the buildings, and icy cold enveloped the pavilion world. Deep inside the boat, Kermit and his friends huddled together for warmth. They couldn't see the frozen and soaked world outside, but they could hear the howling winds and feel the giant mountain creaking and swaying around them)
(Darkness spread throughout Oslo, Norway)
(INT. CHAPEL, BOAT – DAY. After a long, long while, Kermit peered out of his hiding place and gasped. Everything was covered in snow and ice!)
(Cautiously, all the citizens (Human, Human, Human, Human, Mutations, Human, Human, Human, Human, Human, Human, Human, Human, Human, Human, Human, Human, Human, Human, Human, Human, Human, Sweetums, Beautiful Day Monster, Droop, Old Lady, Nigel, Pokey, Gorilla, Blustering Bellowpane Monster, Quongo, Snowth, Mahna Mahna, Snowth, Carter, Behemoth, Frog, Frog, Frog, Croaker, Frog, Robin, Pig, Spamela Hamderson, Howard Tubman, Pig, Captain Pighead, Dr. Julius Strangepork, Link Hogthrob, '80s Robot, Annie Sue, Waldorf, Statler, Afghan Hound, Pepé, the Swedish Chef, Wayne, Wanda, Zoot, Beaker, Bunsen, Scooter, Camilla, Gonzo, Floyd, Janice, the Newsman, Dr. Teeth, Crazy Harry, Rowlf) began to emerge from the boat and into the pews while the "The Wedding March" begins to play on the organ)
(Constantine waited at the altar. As the music played, Miss Piggy walked down the aisle toward him, looking nervous)
(The organ was played by UNCLE DEADLY. BOBO THE BEAR watched him play)
Bobo: (SOBBING) I'm just happy for them. Really happy for them.
Uncle Deadly: Would you please stop talking?
Bobo: Okay. (SNIFFLES) (BLOWS NOSE)
(The vicar stepped up in front of them)
Beefeater Vicar: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of this pig and this frog in Holy Matrimony before the presence of God.
(Miss Piggy looked at Constantine; he just looked at her watch)
Beefeater Vicar: Do you, Kermit the Frog, take Miss Piggy to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, so help you God?
Constantine: Yes. Yes, I do.
Beefeater Vicar: And do you, Miss Piggy…
Miss Piggy: Hmm?
Beefeater Vicar: …take Kermit the Frog to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, so help you God?
(Miss Piggy hesitated)
Miss Piggy: I…
Muppets: (leaning forward) (ALL GASP)
Miss Piggy: I…
Muppets: (leaning forward) (ALL GASP)
(HOBO JOE eats a bag of popcorn, eager to hear her say, "I do.")
Constantine: (WHISPERING) Just say "I do." This is what you've always wanted, right?
Miss Piggy: I do?
Beefeater Vicar: I'm sorry, is that a question? Because if it's posed with an up inflection, and it doesn't legally count.
Constantine: No, it was not a question.
Beefeater Vicar: Let the lady answer.
(Miss Piggy hesitated again)
Miss Piggy: Something didn't feel right. This is so easy.
(She looked at Constantine, who forced a Kermit-like smile at her. She smiled back, then turned to the vicar)
Miss Piggy: Could you repeat the question? I think I'm ready now.
(Down below, Kermit, Fozzie, and Walter think of something to stop the wedding)
Kermit: We have to do something, guys.
Walter: Kermit, we've got to get you close to Miss Piggy!
(Fozzie noticed the lever)
Fozzie: Huh. What does this do?
(He pulled the lever)
(On top, a trapdoor in the floor opened (thanks to Fozzie!), and Constantine fell through. Kermit then took Constantine's place at the altar)
Miss Piggy: What the…
Kermit: Piggy, it's me, Kermit. Come on, we have to get out of here! The wedding is off.
Janice: Oh, wow! Like, I kind of knew he'd get cold flippers.
(Back underground, Constantine gets to his feet and glared at Fozzie, Walter, and Animal)
Fozzie: Huh? (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Excuse us.
(They ran for their lives)
(Back on top, Kermit reached for Miss Piggy's hand, but she recoiled)
Miss Piggy: No, Kermit! What are you doing?
(She thought Kermit was getting cold feet)
Kermit: Piggy, I will explain later.
Miss Piggy: I cannot believe…
(Just then, a small door in the altar opened up, and a green hand reached out)
CONSTANTINE: Come here, frog!
(It grabbed Kermit and pulled him through the opening)
Miss Piggy: Where you going?
(Then Constantine took Kermit's place)
Constantine: (bowing) I'm sorry, my dear, forgive me.
MISS PIGGY: What is going on at my wedding?
CONSTANTINE: Nothing, darling. Let's continue.
(Suddenly, Walter swung through the air on a rope. He picked up Constantine and dropped him into a net on the rafters)
WALTER: Animal, pull!
(Animal pulled on a rope–now Constantine was trapped)
CONSTANTINE: What is happening here?
Animal: Catch froggie! Catch froggie!
Hobo Joe: Well, this is the best Muppet wedding ever!
(Kermit reappeared through a side door and ran toward Miss Piggy)
Kermit: Piggy, listen! That's not me! I'm me!
(Constantine chewed through the net)
Kermit: He's Constantine, the world's most dangerous…
(Miss Piggy spun around and saw Constantine fall directly on top of Kermit)
(Miss Piggy gasped as she stared at the two frogs)
(The Muppets in the pews gasped, too)
Scooter: Two Kermits? Well, that explains a lot.
Rowlf: I knew it. No one could have a cold for that long.
Pepé: Or that bad of an accent, okay.
Statler: Two Kermits!
Waldorf: What a nightmare.
(BOTH CHUCKLING)
(Miss Piggy looked at the two love interests, her mind reeling)
Miss Piggy: How can there be two Kermits? And here I was worrying about rain. Of all the ways to ruin a wedding, this has got to be the most creative. Two Kermits!
(Kermit stepped forward)
Kermit: No, just one Kermit. Me.
Constantine: He's lying! I'm the real Kermit. He's an imposter.
(He turned to the other Muppets)
Constantine: I let you do whatever you want! Because I love you!
(Kermit shook his head)
Kermit: Love isn't about doing what everyone wants. Love is about doing what you know is best. Now I know I can't be loved all the time. Heck, I can't be liked all the time.
(He looked at Miss Piggy)
Kermit: But I love you.
(He turned back toward the other Muppets)
Kermit: All of you. Even when you drive me crazy.
(He took another step toward Miss Piggy)
Kermit: And some of you because you drive me crazy.
(Miss Piggy stared at Kermit, wondering if it was really him)
(Constantine stepped between them)
Constantine: No, no, no. Do not listen to him! I am the real Kermit.
Kermit: That's ridiculous! I am Kermit the Frog!
Constantine: No, I am Kermit the Frog! Hi-lo, Kermit the Frog, here.
Kermit: "Hi-lo?" It's "Hi-ho!"
Miss Piggy: Would every Kermit be quiet!
Both: Huh?
Miss Piggy: I'm going through a lot of emotions right now. I've waited my whole life for this moment, so why aren't I more happy? I mean, I'm not even crying at my own wedding! Is this all just what I thought I wanted? (to Constantine) Are you just the Kermit I thought I wanted?
(She took a deep breath)
Miss Piggy: Well, there's only one sure way to settle this.
(Silence fell upon the chapel. The Muppets all leaned forward with anticipation)
(Miss Piggy turned to Constantine and in a very businesslike tone)
Miss Piggy: First Kermit. Will you marry me?
Constantine: Yes of course, let's go! There's a helicopter waiting, my love!
(Miss Piggy turned to Kermit)
Miss Piggy: And you, the other Kermit… Will you marry me?
Kermit: (STAMMERING) Well, I mean, I… I would. I mean, I could. It's…
(Miss Piggy smiled)
Miss Piggy: That's my Kermit!
(She covered him with kisses as the crowd broke out in applause)
DR. TEETH: That's our frog!
Miss Piggy: (kissing Kermit) Kissy-kissy!
Hobo Joe: This hobo believes in love again.
(Then he kissed the Whatnot hobo)
Whatnot Hobo: What are you doing over there?
(Hobo Joe kissed another one)
(All of a sudden, the tower bell began to ring. Constantine knew that was a signal from Dominic)
(He wiped off the green makeup to reveal a real mole on his lip and stepped forward)
Constantine: That is right, Muppets! I am Constantine, the world's most dangerous frog and number one criminal! And a thousand times more frog better than this Kermit person! You gullible idiots didn't even realize I was setting you up! None of those five-star reviews was real. And those standing ovations? I paid for them!
(The Muppets looked stunned)
Constantine: And now, I have only one more thing to say to you fools!
(He pulled out a detonator that looked like a TV remote)
Constantine: (his best Kermit voice) Good night, folks!
(Pushing a button, he activated it. A beep, beep, beep started sounding from somewhere in the boat)
Constantine: Yay!
Scooter: What is that?
Kermit: It's a bomb!
Miss Piggy: He blows up all his crime scenes.
Kermit: We have to find the bomb!
(The Muppets frantically searched for the bomb inside the Tower boat)
Gustav: We'd better find that bomb or the boat will be blown into smithereens.
Robin: Gustav's right, Uncle Kermit! We'd better hurry.
(Dr. Bunsen Honeydew had an idea)
Bunsen: This is where my patented magnetic bomb-attractor vest can aid us, that Beaker is conveniently wearing.
Beaker: (SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
(Bunsen hit a button, and the magnetic bomb-attractor vest Beaker wore began to hum)
Miss Piggy: What? What's going on?
(She, pulled by the ring on her finger, flew toward the vest and became attached)
(Beep, beep, beep went the bomb)
Kermit: Wait! Miss Piggy's wedding ring is the bomb!
(Kermit yanked on the ring, but it wouldn't budge)
Kermit: Some of you guys grab Piggy, and some of you guys grab me.
(The Swedish Chef rushed over and started buttering Miss Piggy's finger, hoping that would help it slide off. Half of the Muppets (Quongo, the Swedish Chef, Floyd, Scooter) pulled on Miss Piggy, the other half (Kermit, Janice, Rowlf, Walter, Fozzie) pulled on Beaker. The beeps (and meeps) continued. Time was running out!)
(On the count of three, the Muppets pulled hard one last time. The ring came off Miss Piggy's finger with a pop!)
(Beaker fell backward and crashed through one of the boat's stained glass windows)
Beaker: (SCREAMING)
(The vicar put his head in his hands)
Beefeater Vicar: That's only 800 years old.
Beaker: (EXCLAIMING)
(Beaker–and the ring–fell toward the floodwaters below. Once the bomb hit the water, it exploded harmlessly. Beaker wasn't hurt at all and rode the geyser of water created by the explosion)
(From the boat window, all the Muppets (The Swedish Chef, Bunsen, Scooter, Gonzo, Floyd, Kermit, Walter, Fozzie, Sweetums) cheered)
Bunsen: Nicely done, Beaker!
Beaker: (YELLING)
BUNSEN: At no point were you in any danger.
(Then he turned to the Muppets next to him)
Bunsen: (WHISPERING) He was in a lot of danger back there.
(Suddenly, the escape boat soon rocked back and forth on its craggy pedestal where it lay. The citizens screamed as the wave hit the boat and sent it plummeting to the waters, floating about as the other citizens look out astonished, holding to the mercy of the shifting water currents)
WOMAN: This is gonna be a bumpy ride!
(Inside the boat, Uncle Deadly's pipe organ changed and Uncle Deadly and Bobo were being elevated to the control room)
GUSTAV: This is Gustav calling Deadly! Come in, Deadly!
Bobo: He's driving a boat?
(Gustav was speaking into the intercom)
Gustav: Do you copy that?
UNCLE DEADLY: Copy that, Gustav! Everything's under control.
(The Muppets turned away from the window to see Kermit smiling at them)
Kermit: Boy, I missed you guys!
(The Muppets were thrilled to see their old friend)
LEW ZEALAND: Wait a minute. Where did Constantine go?
(Kermit looked around and noticed Miss Piggy was also missing)
Miss Piggy: Kermit! Help!
Kermit: Piggy!
Miss Piggy: Help!
Kermit: She's on the roof!
(EXT. ROOF, TOWER OF LONDON BOAT – DAY. Sure enough, Constantine had tied Miss Piggy's hands together and dragged her to the roof)
Constantine: Shut up and keep moving, pig! You are my insurance policy!
(He leads her toward a waiting helicopter)
(Constantine opened the door to the helicopter. Already sitting inside was Dominic–proudly wearing a furry lemur outfit)
Constantine: Huh? Number Two, you look ridiculous. Why are you wearing that?
(Dominic ignored the insult)
Dominic: Because I am the Lemur. And the world's new number one criminal. That's right. This is where I double-cross you. Good-bye forever, former Number One.
Constantine: First rule of double-cross. You don't announce the double-cross before you double-cross. It's not even a rule because it is so obvious.
(With a devilish grin, Constantine pressed a button on her remote and happily watched Dominic's seat (along with Dominic) eject sideways out of the helicopter)
Constantine: The Lemur is literally the worst bad guy name I have ever heard!
(Then, dragging Miss Piggy, he grabbed the Crown Jewels, jumped in the helicopter, and flipped on the rotors)
(Kermit and the other Muppets (Walter, Wanda, Fozzie, Link Hogthrob, Lew Zealand, Wayne, Beauregard, Gonzo, Janice, Scooter, Sweetums, the Swedish Chef, Animal, Floyd, Rowlf) ran onto the roof just in time to see the helicopter start to lift off)
Fozzie: He's getting away! What are we gonna do?
(Kermit took charge)
Kermit: I'm gonna stop that helicopter.
(He ran toward it, with the Muppets following behind)
Walter: We're coming! Hang on, Miss Piggy!
Kermit: Jump!
(As the helicopter hovered in the air, the Muppets jumped to try and grab any part of it. They all missed and landed safety on the ground–except Kermit. He managed to grab hold of the helicopter)
Miss Piggy: (WHIMPERING)
Constantine: Shut up, pig!
(On the ground, the Muppets (Walter, Fozzie, Lew Zealand, Gonzo, Beauregard, Scooter, Rowlf) looked up)
Walter: Kermit!
Gonzo: We have to do something!
Kermit: (grabbing the helicopter) I got it!
Scooter: We have got to help Kermit!
Rowlf: Quick! Somebody think of a brilliant Kermit-saving idea!
Fozzie: There's only one way we can reach him up there! Muppet Ladder!
(Up in the sky, Constantine looked down to see Kermit holding on)
Constantine: What the…
(Miss Piggy noticed, too)
Miss Piggy: Kermit!
(From below, the Muppets create something. Scooter climbs onto Link Hogthrob)
Scooter: (to the Swedish Chef) Come on up, Chef!
Swedish Chef: Okay, okay.
(Fozzie stepped on Floyd's hair)
Floyd: Watch the hair, bear.
(Even though he was barely holding on, Kermit adopted a brave tone)
Kermit: Give up, Constantine. I've got you now!
Constantine: Bad move, frog.
(He raised his foot and stomped down on one of Kermit's hands)
Miss Piggy: Kermit!
(Now Kermit was hanging on by only one hand)
(From below, Kermit heard a voice: It belonged to Gonzo)
Gonzo: (O.S.) Okay, Kermit, we're coming to get you.
(Gonzo and Scooter and Sweetums stand on one another's shoulders–they had made a Muppet Ladder!)
Gonzo: (to the Muppet Ladder) Now!
All: Whoa!
(That was the signal for the other Muppets (Walter, Animal, Janice, Fozzie, Floyd, Wanda, Wayne, the Swedish Chef, Scooter, Link Hogthrob, Rowlf, Lew Zealand, Beauregard, Sweetums) to hang on tight while Gonzo dived forward toward the helicopter. His hands fells short of the helicopter, but he latched on with his nose instead!)
WALTER: Got it!
Constantine: No, something's wrong. We're not moving.
(That helicopter wasn't going anywhere now!)
Constantine: You're ruining my getaway!
(Beaker bears the full brunt of Constantine's bomb and he turns from the Thames in Bunsen's bomb-attracting suit, the head piece of which has exploded)
Beaker: (SPEAKING GIBBERISH) (GASPS)
(Kermit was dangling by one hand from the helicopter. Constantine looked down)
Constantine: Dasvidanya, Kermit the Frog.
(He stomped on Kermit's other hand)
(Kermit couldn't hold on and fell with a loud "Arrgghh!")
Miss Piggy: No!
(Desperately, she looked down to try and see Kermit landed)
(In the cockpit, Constantine pulled up the steering stick)
Constantine: Checkmate. Let's go, pig.
(As the helicopter began to pull away, Miss Piggy sobbed. Her beloved Kermie was gone)
JANICE: Bummer.
GONZO: Uh-oh!
(As the top of the Muppet Ladder, Gonzo's arms started to grow longer. He held on tightly to the helicopter)
(In the entrance, Gustav looked around and saw Kermit in the water)
Gustav: Man overboard!
(Just then, Sam the Eagle and Jean Pierre, who Sam the Eagle had reached on vacation, appeared on the roof)
JEAN PIERRE: Muppets, you are all under arrest. Wait a second, they're getting away!
(Then the bottom of the Muppet Ladder lifted off the roof)
SAM THE EAGLE: Not so fast! I have you now!
(Sam the Eagle grabbed Sweetums's feet, who was at the bottom of the ladder. But then, Sam the Eagle began to get dragged upward, too)
Sam the Eagle: Help me, Shawn.
(Jean Pierre ran over and grabbed Sam the Eagle's feet)
Jean Pierre: Don't worry! I have you, mon ami!
(Now the two detectives were part of the Muppet Ladder)
(The Muppet Ladder went taut, looking like a kite string stretching across the cloudy sky)
(Up above, the helicopter suddenly halted with a shudder. Constantine pulled on the steering stick, but it was no use. He looked down and spotted the Muppet Ladder, which was preventing him from escaping)
Constantine: Muppets? Don't they ever give up?
(While Constantine was distracted, Miss Piggy stopped crying and began to furiously rub her ropes on a sharp edge she spotted on a column in front of her)
(Meanwhile, Constantine was determined to get away. He opened the throttle even more)
Constantine: Full power!
(The helicopter started to inch upward again, and a grin spread across Constantine's face. The Muppet Ladder was almost at its breaking point)
Fozzie: Can't hold on much longer.
(Then his hand let go and the chain began to fall apart. Camilla and a couple of the chickens fell out of the ladder but flew away to safety)
Scooter: He's going to get away!
(The helicopter lifted slightly)
(And then…)
(A green hand appeared over the top of one of the Tower of London battlements. Then another hand. Then a frog's face. It was Kermit! Since he was falling, Gustav had Kermit caught him. He looked steely and determined)
Kermit: (to the Muppets) Papa's sprung and he's mad.
(Walter looked down from the ladder and spotted him)
Walter: Guys, look! Kermit's alive!
Rowlf: And way badder than before!
(The Muppet Ladder all cheered)
Gustav: Good luck, Kermit.
(Kermit made his way to the Muppet Ladder and started to climb)
Fozzie: Take him down!
(Up in the helicopter, Constantine was still trying to pull away. He looked down and saw Kermit climbing the ladder)
Miss Piggy: You're okay!
Constantine: The frog? But how?
Kermit: Hang on, Piggy! I'm coming!
Gonzo: (holding on to a helicopter) Go get 'em, Kermit!
(Kermit made it into the cockpit)
Miss Piggy: Kermie!
Constantine: Welcome aboard, Kermit.
(Constantine reloaded his gun. He aimed the barrel right at Kermit, who gulped)
Constantine: You don't know who you're dealing with. I am the world's most dangerous frog.
(At that moment, Miss Piggy finally cut through her ropes)
Miss Piggy: Oh, brother! You may be the world's most dangerous frog, but you're still a frog!
(She leaned forward and grabbed Constantine by the legs, smashing him left and right in the cockpit, making the gun fly out of his hands)
Miss Piggy: (a smash with each word) No one tricks me into marrying them and then hurts my Kermie!
(When she let go, Constantine swayed back and forth)
Constantine: What a woman!
Kermit: Yeah. My woman. And I believe this belongs to you.
(Then he pushed Constantine over with the gentlest of taps, causing the criminal to fall backward and crumple on the floor)
(Scaling the pavilion wall above them, Scrat jammed their last acorn into the ice. A treacherous crack spread down through the entire glacier. The ice broke in half. Scrat clung to both sides as the fissure to slowly widen. Water began to gush below them through the growing gap. Scrat struggled to keep his grip on the groaning ice, trying desperately to pull it back together)
(Whoa! His hands slipped and little Scrat tumbled through the air)
Scrat: Ahhhhhhhooooooooooooooo!
(The other citizens heard little Scrat wail as he falls thousands of feet of great heights and–Whoosh! Tons of churning water was sucked into the glacier's deep crack and engulfed him. So were Cretaceous and Maelstrom!)
(From the cockpit, Kermit and Miss Piggy watched as water continued to drain through the gap in the glacier. Kermit turned to Miss Piggy)
Kermit: Well, I'm sorry I ruined your wedding.
Miss Piggy: Oh, Kermie. I'm so glad you did.
(She smiled and hugged him and they shared a kiss)
Kermit: So, uh, how do we land this thing, huh?
Miss Piggy: Oh, that's easy.
(She reached over and pressed the autopilot button)
ROWLF: Okay. Can we get down now?
(The helicopter landed itself)
Kermit: We did it, guys!
(Once Kermit and Miss Piggy disembarked from the helicopter onto the roof, they were met with cheers and whistles)
SCOOTER: What an action sequence!
LEW ZEALAND: You sure look pretty, Miss Piggy.
Miss Piggy: Thank you.
(INT. CHAPEL, BOAT – DAY. Miss Piggy started the wedding over with the right Kermit)
(The vicar stepped up in front of them)
Beefeater Vicar: Do you, Kermit the Frog, take Miss Piggy to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, so help you God?
Kermit: I do.
Beefeater Vicar: And do you, Miss Piggy take Kermit the Frog to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, so help you God?
Miss Piggy: Since I got the right frog. Guess what, I do.
Beefeater Vicar: By the power vested in me by the Tower of London. I now pronounce you frog and pig.
Miss Piggy: I've never been so happy!
(She covered him with kisses as the crowd broke out in applause)
Robin: God bless us, everyone.
(Suddenly, the whole pavilion was dry. They were saved!)
(Gustav manned the entrance. The intercom interrupts him)
UNCLE DEADLY: This is Uncle Deadly calling to Gustav! Come in, Gustav!
Gustav: What?
(INT. CONTROL ROOM, TOWER OF LONDON BOAT – DAY. Uncle Deadly spoke into the intercom)
Uncle Deadly: We have reached our final destination!
(EXT. BUCKINGHAM PALACE – DAY. A great hurrah erupted from the deck of the escape boat, which was now resting next to Buckingham Palace)
GUSTAV: Passengers, here's our final destination. Please exit in an orderly fashion.
Lew Zealand: (throwing Chlorine) No!
(Chlorine punches Gustav off the boat and the bird falls into the ground)
Robin: I don't think so, feathers.
(The citizens, creatures, Muppets, and people stampeded over Gustav's back, flattening him like a pancake in the ensuing stampede)
BEAKER: Oh!
Chlorine: Loser!
Gustav: (GROANING) How about you do it your way?
(The grandpa molehog is grabbing hold of the boat. The kids are trying to pull him away)
Grandpa: I'm not leavin'!
Molehog Kid 1: Grandpa, let go of the boat!
Molehog Kid 2: The flood's over!
GRANDPA: This is my boat now!
(The diatryma herd ran past them)
Diatryma Mom: Come, let's go! Come on, come on!
(Fast Tony, a tree limb stuck to his shell, uses Stu's shell as a raft at Victoria Memorial fountain)
Fast Tony: (LAUGHS) Stu! We made it! We're gonna live! Well, I am, anyway.
(The police guards hold Constantine and Dominic in custody)
Sam the Eagle: Congratulations, weirdos, you've saved the Crown Jewels! Did you know this frog robbed museums in Berlin, Madrid, Dublin, and London?
Walter: All those sound familiar.
(Jean Pierre was proud)
Jean Pierre: And you've caught my nemesis, the Lemur. (to Dominic) Look at his little costume. That's adorable!
Dominic: I'm not adorable.
Sam the Eagle: He is adorable.
Constantine: You're adorable! Did you make that kitty-cat outfit?
(Rowlf pointed to Dominic)
Rowlf: The bad guy is Dominic Badguy!
Gonzo: It's pronounced "Bad-gee."
Jean Pierre: Well, mon ami, I guess this is where we say goodbye. You go your way, and I go mine. (SOBBING) Here comes the rain. Oh, boy. And I said I wasn't going to do this.
(Jean Pierre was heartbroken. Sam the Eagle doesn't like this)
Sam the Eagle: Oh, pull yourself together, man. Stop crying. We're only saying our final farewell. Goodbye, forever! (SOBBING)
(He was heartbroken too as he hugged him)
Sam the Eagle: I'm going to miss you so much! I'm going to miss you, my French friend.
(The Muppets (The Swedish Chef, Wanda, Walter, Link Hogthrob, Gonzo, Camilla or Chicken, Lew Zealand, Scooter, the Nerdlucks, Animal, Rowlf, Janice, Floyd, Beauregard, Fozzie, Wayne, Camilla or Chicken, Sweetums) looked disappointed)
(Dominic steps up)
Dominic: Whenever you're ready.
(Sam the Eagle and Jean Pierre were back to normal)
Sam the Eagle: Yes.
Jean Pierre: Yes, of course. Take them away!
Sam the Eagle: Take them away!
DOMINIC: Thank you.
(As the criminals were taken away, Jean Pierre looked at the Muppets)
Jean Pierre: Au revoir, Muppets.
Rowlf: Bye-bye.
Lew Zealand: See you!
(Jean Pierre noticed Sam the Eagle were busy ushering Constantine and Dominic away)
Jean Pierre: Sam. Sam! Wait for me!
(Dominic and Constantine walk along with the guards)
Dominic: Since I stole the Crown Jewels, guess I'm number one now.
Constantine: But we're going to jail.
Dominic: Doesn't matter. Still counts, still stole 'em. (SINGING) I'm number one, you're number two
Constantine: Shut up. That's my song.
(On one of the police vehicles, Constantine is thrown into a van)
(Kermit turned to Chlorine and Sven)
Kermit: I'm thinking about starting a swim school! Kermit's Squids.
(But Chlorine and Sven were soon interrupted. Kermit turned around and saw his kidnappers–the tribe of toads. He screamed and hid behind Chlorine and Sven)
Female Toad: All hail Fire King!
(The toads bowed. Kermit stepped out from behind Chlorine and Sven)
Kermit: Uh, hi.
Toads: Hi-hi-hi! Hi! Hi!
Female Toad: Fire King avert flood. Join us, O great and noble flaming one.
Kermit: Hmm!
(Kermit started toward them, but Chlorine stopped him. He couldn't let his friend go without a fight)
Chlorine: Ho! No. Not so fast there! Okay? You make a quality offer, but Fire King has a prior commitment. His friends need him. He is the gooey, sticky stuff that holds us together. He made this team and we'd be nothing without him.
(The toads bowed again and turned to go)
Kermit: (smiling at Chlorine) You mean it? Ohh!
(Kermit threw his arms around him)
Chlorine: Kermit! Kermit, I'm… (GROANS) That doesn't mean "want to touch."
(Just then, Miss Piggy and the Muppets (The Swedish Chef, Wanda, Walter, Link Hogthrob, Gonzo, Camilla or Chicken, Lew Zealand, Scooter, the Nerdlucks, Animal, Rowlf, Janice, Floyd, Beauregard, Fozzie, Wayne, Camilla or Chicken, Sweetums) walked over)
Chlorine: (SIGHS) Don't ask.
(He is still trying to push Kermit off of him. But the group did not have time to think and Kermit, Chlorine, and Sven)
(Just then, a whistle was called. Another group of amphibians carried Cretaceous and Maelstrom's lifeless bodies on a tray)
Female Toad: Is that... Bad juju?
Frog: No. Good sushi!
(The reptiles were prehistoric history and become dinner for the vultures, who one of them slurps)
(EXT. PIXIE DUST WELL, BUCKINGHAM PALACE – DAY. Cautiously, all the citizens began to emerge from the boat. One by one, the citizens moved toward the Pixie Dust Well at the center of Buckingham Palace. They gazed in silence at the frozen stream of pixie dust that had stopped in mid flow over the pool. Everyone held their breath. Had their plan worked? Was the pavilion saved?)
(Very slowly, the sun began to melt the ice. The pixie dust began to flow!)
(Everyone burst into loud cheers. Some citizens wiped tears of joy from their eyes)
Bang: What a beautiful sight.
(Clamina turned to Kermit and Miss Piggy, and a wide grin broke over her face)
Clamina: It worked! It worked, Kermit.
Dr. Teeth: Oh, thank goodness!
(Then, citizens flew high into the air, celebrating)
Kermit: We did it.
(EXT. PIXIE DUST WELL, UNIVERSITY OF WINTER – DAY. Professor Wave is left behind, meditating at the edge of the pipe at the Pixie Dust Well until he heard a rumble. He looked up. Pixie dust came out and pushed him off the edge of the pipe. Professor Wave falls to the ground. He rose up and saw that the pixie dust is flowing again)
Wave: Oh!
(EXT. PIXIE DUST WELL, BUCKINGHAM PALACE – DAY – DAY. The people and creatures were safe, even Queen Melody, Lord Milori, and Trident. Their frost had saved IGP Inc.! On the other side of the pavilion floor, Prince Marleen is carrying the sweet air)
POUND: Come on, everyone!
(Then Clamina looked down at Kermit)
Clamina: Kermit! Come on!
(She looked back at Kermit, who is still standing alone)
Clamina: Kermit? What's wrong?
(Kermit smiled sadly at Clamina. Then he turned around so his sister could see his wings)
(One of them was icy blue and torn)
Clamina: (GASPS) Oh!
(MUPPETS MURMURING INDISTINCTLY)
(Clamina remembered how Kermit had flown to get the winter citizens)
Clamina: When you flew to winter, that's why you fell.
(ON Trident)
(ON Queen Melody and Lord Milori)
Queen Melody: Oh, no.
Tulip: Oh, Kermit the Frog.
Clamina: Kermit… Why didn't you tell me?
Kermit: We had to get to the boat. Besides, there's no cure for a broken wing.
Clamina: I'm so sorry.
(She hugged him tight)
(ON the Muppets (The Swedish Chef, Wanda, Walter, Link Hogthrob, Gonzo, Camilla or Chicken, Lew Zealand, Scooter, the Nerdlucks, Animal, Rowlf, Janice, Floyd, Beauregard, Fozzie, Wayne, Camilla or Chicken, Sweetums), Grotto, Sea Salt, and Calypso who watched them sadly. They bowed down)
(Lord Milori stepped forward)
Lord Milori: This happened because we tried to keep you apart.
QUEEN MELODY: But never again. You belong together.
(Trident was standing nearby. Tears began to form in his eyes as he watched the sisters)
(Kermit looked up in the sky)
KERMIT: It's getting warmer.
(He is feeling the growing strength of the sun)
Kermit: You should get back to winter.
Clamina: Yeah.
(She couldn't let go. She turns to leave. She turns around and looked at him)
Kermit: Hey. I'll be okay. I'll meet you tomorrow at the border. Sisters?
Clamina: Sisters.
(She put her wings against Kermit's wings, and gently, the swirling patterns in each of their wings began to glow)
(Then something unexpected happened. A surge of energy rushed between their wings, like a spark. Quickly, the sisters stepped apart)
Both: Jingles! (BOTH LAUGH)
Walter: (to Kermit and Clami) Wait!
(He ran up. He looked at Kermit who felt a tingling in his broken wing. Both sisters watched in awe as a sparkling light began to dance around the torn edges)
Walter: (to Kermit) We're sorry, Kermit. We're sorry that we didn't notice you were missing. We're sorry we didn't tell you often enough how much you mean to all of us. We're sorry we ever took you for granted. But that's never going to happen again. (to Clamina) Because if Kermit wants to visit the Winter Woods, you'll have to take me, too.
(Kermit shook his head)
Kermit: No.
Fozzie: You're my best friend, Kermit. Wherever you go, I go. You'll have to take me, too.
Gonzo: And me.
(ON Queen Melody and Lord Milori)
GONZO: Kermit, we convinced ourselves that evil frog was you because he gave us what we thought we wanted.
Rowlf: When what we really wanted…
Scooter: What we really needed…
Miss Piggy: (to Kermit) Was you, Kermit. The actual, real you.
(Clamina looked at Kermit. Then she looked at the Muppets)
Clamina: It would appear you were right, Kermit. I guess this is your family.
(ON Gonzo, Rowlf, Walter, Scooter, Miss Piggy, and Fozzie)
(ON Kermit)
(ON Camilla, the Swedish Chef, Beauregard, Wanda, Link Hogthrob, and Lew Zealand)
Clamina: And families belong together.
(They looked at one another. Then with a deep breath, they turned wing to wing once more)
(The moment they touched, the sisters' wings burst into a brilliant ball of energy! It was so bright that the two citizens had to shield their eyes from the glow. The light shone high into the sky, reflecting off the melting ice and snow. When the sparkling finally faded, everyone stared in awe)
(Kermit's wing was healed!)
Trident: That's a new chapter.
(Calypso realizes what's happened and Grand Pabbie was right. He's so excited about it, he lifts his head right off his body and exclaims--)
Calypso: (GASPS) An act of true love will heal a broken wing.
(Before he could even hug his sister, the Muppets bombarded him. They cheered and cried. Kermit was safe–his sister had healed him!)
Miss Piggy: Okay, that was amazing.
Pound: Mr. Froggy, you are fantastic!
(Queen Melody and Lord Milori watched happily. The Lord of Winter reached out, took the princess's hand, and gently kissed her)
Tulip: Oh! Queen Melody!
Trident: I didn't know they were going to do the smoochy, smoochity. Guess they're telling people now.
(Trident smiled as the friends, old and new, rejoiced. He would have much more to write about in his books when he returned home)
Clamina: "Love will heal." (realizing) Love. Of course.
(Clamina looks at Kermit with confidence)
Kermit: Clami?
Clamina: Love!
(Cantus, the Norwegian female choir and Frode Fjellheim in "Eatnemen Vuelie" lullaby is heard again)
(Clamina lifts her arms, and the ground shakes. The ice and snow rises high into the air)
(Beneath their feet the ground thaws)
(The entire freeze melts)
(The citizens come out to see the warmth returning)
(In one final wave, Clamina draws all of the snow into a giant snowflake in the sky, then waves it, leaving only a warm summer day. Only the storm cloud can protect the frost citizens' wings from wilting)
Kermit: I knew you can do it.
Clamina: Of course I can.
Calypso: (melting, good-naturedly) Hands down, this is the best day of my life. And, quite possibly, the last.
Clamina: Oh, Calypso! Hang on, little guy.
(Clamina waves her hand and surrounds Calypso with a swirl of cold air. He refreezes. Above his head she leaves a little, perpetually-snowing storm cloud. Calypso loves it)
Calypso: (GASPS) My own personal flurry!
(Clamina comes over to Kermit and hugs him. Over her shoulder, Miss Piggy meets Kermit's eyes. He smiles brighter, happy)
(EXT. BUCKINGHAM PALACE – DAY. A massive crowd packs the adjacent streets and parks)
(INT. BUCKINGHAM PALACE – DAY. Kermit does the requisite "silly faces" in an attempt to break the composure of a Buckingham Palace Guard. It isn't working. Miss Piggy approaches)
Miss Piggy: Kermit, let's go. You're on.
(INT. QUEEN'S CHAMBER – BUCKINGHAM PALACE – DAY. QUEEN ELIZABETH II sits in attention at the front of the Main Ballroom. As Kermit and Miss Piggy approach:)
Lord Steward: Your Majesty, may I present for the investiture of honorary knighthood of the British Realm, Kermit the Frog of Disneyland Resort.
Miss Piggy: Go get 'em, dear.
(Miss Piggy joins her friends from Disneyland Resort. Even the winter citizens from the Winter Woods. Kermit steps forward. He bows, as if he's practiced it all day)
Queen Elizabeth II: I hereby dub thee Sir Kermit the Frog.
(Applause from all around)
Kermit: Sir? You can just call me Kermit the Frog, Your Majesty. I don't wanna hear none of this "sir" business. By the way, have you met each other? Queen, Piggy. Piggy, Queen. Piggy, Clamina. Clamina, Piggy. Queen, Clamina.
(He continues introducing everyone as we CUT TO ---)
(EXT. KENSINGTON GARDENS, LONDON – MOMENTS LATER. Kermit watched the amazing garden covered in snow as Miss Piggy sits next to him)
Kermit: I miss you, Piggy. So much.
Clamina: We too, Kermit.
Melinda: I can just what?
(Kermit and Miss Piggy turn around, shocked to see Melinda, bundled up in the warm clothing, walking down behind him)
Melinda: Careful, Piggy. I was just warming up to you.
(Miss Piggy looks at her awkwardly)
Miss Piggy: (sotto) Sorry.
Melinda: Well, frog and pig, it seems you made the front page again.
(Kermit looks at the picture, smiles sheepishly)
Melinda: The two of you did something together that no one has ever done before. You surprised me. Perhaps I should keep an eye out for more surprises like you in the Winter Woods.
(It's good to hear, but a little late)
Melinda: But as far as you are concerned there is nothing I can do for you now. Except, perhaps, wish you luck.
(Kermit and Miss Piggy are touched)
Melinda: And, Kermit, keep surprising people.
(Kermit had to think fast)
Kermit: (to the others) Hey, guys, listen. We still have to finish our world tour. And I know where we need to play next. For one night only, the Winter Woods!
(The Muppets all cheered)
Miss Piggy: Yes, yes! I'll pack my swimsuit right away!
Clamina: Oh, wonderful! It's terrible. You will hate it. You will hate it.
(TAGLINE: A FEW DAYS LATER…)
RECEPTIONIST: Next!
(EXT. BOUNDARY, LONDON – DAY. Winter citizens took turns frosting warm-weather citizens' wings. Now that they knew the secret of how to cross over the cold without getting hurt, the warm-weather citizens couldn't wait to get their first taste of winter!)
(Gonzo and Camilla had just finished having their wings frosted)
Gonzo: (to the winter citizens) Thanks. Come on, Camilla!
Camilla: (CLUCKS)
(Then he ran across the border to join Scooter and Rowlf on the other side)
Receptionist: Next!
(Tulip was very nervous. Though she was dressed in the warm clothing, she was still unsure about crossing over)
Tulip: (to the Nerdlucks) Uh, maybe you should go first.
Receptionist: (CLEARS THROAT) Next.
Tulip: Ugh! All right.
(Tulip took a deep breath and lifted his wings to be frosted)
Tulip: Ooh! Would you look at that?
(As the cold hit her, she squealed. Then a smile spread across her face)
Tulip: Oh! Ooh! That feels good.
(EXT. THE WINTER WOODS – DAY. Clamina runs through the crowd, pulling a blindfolded Chlorine along behind her. She's so excited she can't stand it)
Clamina: Come on, come on, come on! (STAMMERING) Okay, okay, here I come.
(She runs him right into a pole)
Chlorine: (GRUNTS) Pole!
Clamina: Whoops! Sorry.
(Clamina skips to the perfect spot and stops)
Clamina: (stopping) Okay, Okay. Here we are. Oh!
(She takes off the blindfold. Chlorine opens his eyes. Before him sits the most beautiful, suped-up sled. Sven poses in front of it -- Vanna White-style)
CLAMINA: I owe you a sled.
Chlorine: (blown away) Are you serious?
Clamina: Yes! And it's the latest model.
Chlorine: No, I can't accept this.
Clamina: You have to. No returns. No exchanges. Queen's orders. She's named you the Official Winter Ice Master and Deliverer.
(Sven shows off the Ice-Master-and-Deliverer medal like he's king of the bucks)
Chlorine: What? That's not a thing.
Clamina: Oh, sure it is. And it even has a cup holder. Do you like it?
Chlorine: Like it?
(He sweeps her up high overhead and spins her around)
Chlorine: I love it!
Clamina: Whoa.
(CHLORINE CHUCKLES)
(All over the Winter Woods, warm citizens were discovering the beauty of winter. New friendships were also blooming. Queen Melody and Lord Milori rode their snowy owl. The Muppets (Link Hogthrob, '80s Robot, Pound, the Swedish Chef, Beauregard, Zoot, Beaker, Bunsen, Lew Zealand, Camilla, Gonzo, Floyd, Janice, Dr. Teeth, Rowlf, Sweetums) were ice skating. After so many years of being apart, they were thrilled to be reunited. The bunny played with Travis)
Travis: Watch out! Runaway bunny!
(The bunny ran into Scooter and he hugged him)
Travis: Sorry.
Scooter: It's okay. Hey, little buddy.
(Trident wrote: FROM TRIDENT. The reading Berliner stood next to him)
Reading Berliner: From Trident.
Trident: It's what my friends call me. (CHUCKLES)
Reading Berliner: Wow! (STUTTERING) I love your work. I have so many questions for you.
Trident: Okay, you can let go of my hand now.
(A familiar librarian walks by, reprimanding them. It's OSCAR THE GROUCH)
Oscar: All right, scrums, quit goofing around. I'll have you know tampering with trash is a crime punishable by banishment!
Both: Yes, sir.
(Lily was just admiring their reflection in a big block of ice when Calypso walks up beside her. With his snow cloud safely overhead, Lily had noticed him earlier and wanted to introduce himself)
Calypso: Hi.
Lily: (GASPS) Hello there.
Calypso: I'm Calypso.
Lily: Oh, my. That's perfect! Oh! I'm Miss Lily LaBouff.
Calypso: Miss LaBouff. That's beautiful.
(He took her hand, and together they went to join their friends by the skating pond)
Lily: Oh, my.
(She waited for long to marry a prince of Mississippi and she finally found Calypso)
(Meanwhile, the Nerdlucks had a very special delivery)
Bang: Oh, Miss Grotto!
(Grotto had been standing near the skating pond, chattering with Sea Salt, Walter, Animal, and Fozzie. When she turned around, her eyes grew wide. The Nerdlucks were carrying an enormous acorn!)
Grotto: An acorn!
Blanko: Biggest one we could find.
Grotto: I love it!
Sea Salt: She loves acorns.
Walter: Must be a Winter thing.
Fozzie: Not really.
(And over by the border, Clamina was smiling as she watched the citizens cross over one by one. Suddenly, Clamina's wings began to sparkle. Clamina flew to meet her sister as he entered the Winter Woods)
Clamina: Kermit.
Kermit: You ready?
Clamina: Ready.
(At the same time, the sisters whistled. Instantly, a large flock of snowy owls burst into the sky. They released snowflakes and clamina flowers from baskets they were carrying. All the citizens (Rowlf, Scooter, Zoot, Floyd, Walter, Sea Salt, Fozzie, Grotto, Animal, Beaker, Dr. Teeth, Janice, Camilla, Gonzo, the Nerdlucks, Lily, Calypso, Trident, Reading Berliner, Tulip, Queen Melody, Lord Milori) gazed up in wonder at the incredible sight)
(Kermit and Clamina smiled at one another. It was beautiful, but not nearly as magical as the secret of their wings. The two citizens had discovered that the bond of sisterhood was the greatest magic of all. And they knew they would never be apart again)
KERMIT: Okay, guys, this is it. The Winter Woods Finale! Good luck, everybody. Here we go! A-one, two, three, four!
(INT. STAGE, THE HALL OF WINTER – MOMENTS LATER. The Muppets (Pops, Beauregard, Miss Poogy, Lew Zealand, the Swedish Chef, Rowlf, Bunsen, Beaker, '80s Robot, Rizzo, Link Hogthrob, Wayne, Uncle Deadly, Grotto, Fozzie, Walter, Sea Salt, Kermit, Clamina, Miss Piggy, Calypso, Foo Foo, Floyd, Zoot, Dr. Teeth, Janice, Nigel the Conductor, Wanda, Sweetums, Camilla, Pepé, Gonzo, Scooter, Animal, Bobby Benson, the Babies, Marvin Suggs, his Muppaphone) were in the main hall)

Gee, it's good to be together again again

It's not starting over, it's just going on!
Scooter, Gonzo, Sea Salt, Grotto, Walter, and Fozzie (All Cast): Together again again
