Quotes 

• Skeeter : [looks at a travel sticker with a parrot on it]  Ooh! Polly want a cracker?

  Parrot : Awk! No! 50 years and all I ever hear is "Polly want a cracker? Polly want a cracker?" Well, the name's Ed and I don't want a cracker! I want a piece of gum! Awk!

  Skeeter : Brother, a bird with an attitude.

• [the kids are terrified after discovering a bug from a bug collection inside the trunk is missing] 

  Piggy : Well, don't just stand there, Kermie. Go find it.

  Kermit : [gulps]  Um, right. Come on, Scooter.

  Scooter : Huh? W-Why me?

  Skeeter : 'Cause you're the bug expert, silly.

  Scooter : Oh, yeah. B-But I'm only good with ones that don't move.

  [everyone stares at him] 

  Scooter : Okay, okay. I'm going.

• [Gonzo leaves, hoping to find the missing bug before Kermit and impress Piggy] 

  Piggy : Boob.

  Skeeter : Yeah, he'll probably need my help.

  [does backflips as she follows Gonzo] 

  Skeeter : Hiya! Hiya! Ho-yo! Ho ho! Ya!

  Piggy : Oh, brother. Birds of a feather...

  [Skeeter crashes into a bush] 

  Piggy : Flock together.

  Skeeter : Stupid bushes.

• Kermit : We've been searching for months. Or was it days? Well, at least a couple of minutes anyhow. Still, no sign of that missing bug, but we were sure collecting a lot of stickers.

• Gonzo : [narrating]  I could tell that the pig and the missing bug would soon be mine. Very soon.

  [Kermit, Scooter, and Animal crash into the wall with their plane. Kermit falls out of the plane and lands in between Gonzo and Piggy] 

  Kermit : Uh, hello there.

  [Piggy giggles] 

  Gonzo : Well, maybe not that soon.

• Statler : [gives the bug to Waldorf]  Here. Happy birthday, you old codger.

  Waldorf : Well, heck. The kids here spent so much time looking for it, I think they ought to have it.

  Kids : Huh?

  [the kids are hesitant] 

  Waldorf : [gives the bug to Kermit]  Here. Happy birthday, Kermit. Frogs like bugs, don't they? Ha ha ha.

  Kermit : Well... um, I... um...

  [gives the bug to Gonzo] 

  Kermit : Here, Gonzo.

  Gonzo : Huh? Uh... Oh, uh...

  [gives the bug to Rowlf] 

  Gonzo : Here, Rowlf. You haven't done much in this episode.

  Rowlf : Swell.

  [Rowlf looks at Piggy] 

  Piggy : Don't even think about it.

  [everyone walks away, refusing to take the bug] 

  Bean Bunny : I know. Why don't you pretend you're Beetlejuice and eat the bug?

  Rowlf : That's gross.
