Muppets Most Wanted (2014) - full transcript

Flush with their revival's success, Kermit the Frog and his friends are approached by Dominic Badguy to go on a world tour. Unknown to them, this is all part of the sinister plan of Constantine, the world's most evil frog, to become the greatest thief of all time. After making sure that Kermit is jailed as himself, Constantine impersonates him to use the Muppets' tour as cover for his scheme. While Sam the Eagle and Inspector Jean Pierre Napoleon investigate, the Muppets find their boss seems strangely changed even as Kermit desperately attempts to escape to stop the impostor. Only when Walter, Fozzie and Animal realize the truth is there a chance to prevent Constantine from pulling off the crime of the century.

(CHEERY WHISTLING)

MAN: And cut!
(EXCITED CHATTER)

Wow. That was so amazing!
Walter, you did
a wonderful job.

Thank you, Kermit.
Did we get that?

MISS PIGGY: We got it.
We got it, yup.

Movie's over, people.
Go home. That is a wrap.

Okay, nice work, everyone.

So, uh...



What do we do now?

Well, we're together again.

We got the theater
and all our fans are back.
Yeah!

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

Actually, those were extras.

I saw a few
tapping their toes.

Yeah, those were paid dancers.

Oh.
MISS PIGGY: Or...

Maybe since we're all here,

now could be the perfect time
for you and me
to tie the knot, Kermie!

(STAMMERING)
Well, I mean,
maybe I could.

Hey, what's the camera
still doing here?

Oh, no. Disaster!
That can only mean one thing.

Doggone it, you're right!
Mmm-hmm.

Does anybody
have any other ideas?

Oh! Oh! It's about
getting the Muppets

to stop an evil oil baron

from demolishing
the old studio!

Fozzie, did you
even watch our last film?

It's about a frog

who marries a beautiful,
perfect pig.

And they have to
kiss each other a lot!

Uh...

(SPEAKING MOCK SWEDISH)

How about a film about
the existential conundrum

of religious faith?

I don't think Americans
watch subtitled films. (SIGHS)

Kermit, how about the Muppets
go on a world tour?

That's perfect!

Hey! Pepperoni!
(WHOOPING)

(WIND HOWLING)

(ACCELERATING BEEPS)

(GRUNTS)
(GROANS)

(GRUNTING)

(BLARING)

(LAUGHS) Come on!

(ALL YELLING)

(WITH RUSSIAN ACCENT)
Let's dance.

(GUARDS GROANING)

(YELLS)

(ALARM BUZZING)

(PRISONERS SHOUTING)

It's time to light the lights.

(EXPLODING)

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.

Wow.

Thanks for seeing me
at my regular booth, Muppets.

(MUPPETS MURMURING)

Big fan. Huge.

Dominic.
International tour manager.

"Dominic Badguy"?

It's pronounced "Bad-gee."
(CLEARS THROAT) It's French.

MUPPETS: Ah!

It means "good man."

Oh, yes.
Oh!

Listen up.

You're hot.
You're having a moment.

But what is inevitable
about a moment? It ends.

I don't want
this moment to end!

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.

(EXCITED CHATTER)
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.

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.

(EXCLAIMING IN AWE)

Wow, that's a good list!

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.

Sure.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Uh... Oh! (SCOFFS)

President Clinton?

(MUPPETS GASPING)
What?

I'm on my way, Number Two.

Great,
they're taking the bait.

Well, he seems
like a nice guy.

ROWLF: Yeah.

Humble and honest.

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.

DOMINIC: See you in Berlin.

CONSTANTINE:
Yes. Auf Wiedersehen...

Number Two.

(CHUCKLES EVILLY)

So...

What's it gonna be, Muppets?

Ready to be world famous?

No pressure,
but I am a very busy man.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Oh! That's Rihanna.

I really should take this.

(MUPPETS TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

World tour! World tour!

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!

(INDISTINCT TALKING CONTINUES)

Okay, let's do it.

Dominic, you're hired.
(CHEERING)

Thanks, Kermit.
I mean, boss.

You won't regret this.

(WOMAN ANNOUNCING
INDISTINCTLY OVER PA)

KERMIT:
Is everybody here? Yeah?

Okay, guys, guys.
Get them up and move them out.

All aboard, Dominic.

I didn't know
there was still third class.

Third class?
How about no class?

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

Oh! Watch the heels!

Piggy, why do you need
so much luggage?

For our honeymoon, of course!

For our what?
(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS)

BEAUREGARD: Let's go, guys!

Oh! Oh.

That must be reverse. Um...

Oh, well.
This way looks good, too.

♪ Down around the corner
A half a mile from here ♪

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!

Hmm?

Uh...

Was that supposed to happen?
Got me.

KERMIT: Oh, you guys
are gonna love this place.

Hmm?
Uh...

Okay, here we are, guys.

The Hole in the Wall Club!

"Die Muppets"?

Looks like they
put the reviews up early.

Yeah, or is that
the suggestion box?

(BOTH LAUGHING)

MISS PIGGY:
"Hole in the Wall Club"?

More like
"Hole in the Ground Club."

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.

Poopenburgen?

Fozzie, we have a solid week
booked in Poopenburgen. Huh?

(ALL MOANING)

DOMINIC: This looks great.

And I think we should
commend Kermit on his efforts.

KERMIT:
Thank you, Dominic. Thanks.

Or, if I might be so bold...

KERMIT: Uh-huh?

...maybe we could consider
another venue.

Another venue?

To be precise,
this other venue.

MUPPETS: Whoa!
Look at that theater!

KERMIT: What? No, no.

We don't have the money
to rent
the Berlin National Theatre!

We'll make our money back
when we sell it out.

Kermie, I've always dreamed
of playing
the Berlin National Theatre.

"Ich bin ein Berliner."

More like, "Ein frankfurter"!

(MUPPETS CHUCKLING)
Watch it, buster.

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.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)
That's not what I'm saying.

And all those in favor
of just giving up.

(SIGHING) I can't believe
I'm voting for giving up.

Good. Well, I'm glad
we made this decision.

Oh, wonderful!

So cool!

WALTER: Isn't that exciting.
I can't believe it.

All right, gather round,
troops. Everybody?

(ALL TALKING INDISTINCTLY)
Okay, guys.

Since we're playing
such a big theater,

let's stick with what we know.

We'll open with
a cabaret number...

Kermit, when do I do the
indoor running of the bulls?

(BULL BELLOWING)

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

Mr. Kermit, sir?

I would very much
like to demonstrate

my magnetic
bomb-attractor vest.

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

Bunsen, why would you even
invent one of those?

Why did I invent
the unexpectedly
exploding cupcake?

(SCREAMS)
(ALL GASP)

Hey, what about
Muppet Ladder?

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.

Yeah, good times.

MISS PIGGY:
Kermit, what if I do

four or five
Celine Dion songs?

You know Celine Dion,
she works in Vegas.

No, Piggy,
there's no time for that.

What about the band's
marathon jam session?

Drum solo! Drum solo!

No drum solo!

(ALL TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

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.

(ALL GASP)
GONZO: What?

And maybe the end of us.

Great news, Muppets.
We're sold out.

What?

(ALL TALKING EXCITEDLY)

Fine.

I mean, great, great.
Well done, Dominic.

Hey, I have an amazing idea
for an act.

It's called "The Indoor
Running of the Bulls."

Gonzo, I've told you,
that act is far too dangerous.

Actually, Kermit, I was asking
Dominic what he thinks.

Good grief.

MISS PIGGY:
Dominic, Dominic! Five songs.

(ALL CLAMORING)

"Sold out." Like we've sold
out a show in 30 years.

Ahem.

Is this a good time to discuss
our upcoming European wedding?

No, actually,
I'm kind of busy right now.

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 flies.

Piggy, what are you
talking about?

I'm just trying to
involve you in some of
the decision-making, dear.

What about being involved
in the decision

to get married
in the first place, huh?

Oh, Kermit, you never
let me do what I want!

Oh, yeah?

Well, what about what I want,
huh? What about that?

I haven't even proposed yet.

You can do that
on our honeymoon.

What?
(STAMMERING)

That's insane! Do you hear
what you're saying?

Insane? How dare you call
your fiancee insane?

You are not my fiancee!
We are not engaged!

And, as a matter of fact,

the way this
particular conversation

is going right now...
Well...

I'm fine with that!

(GASPS)
(FOO FOO GROWLING)

KERMIT:
Piggy, wait! I'm sorry!

(FOO FOO BARKING)
Get out!

(KERMIT SIGHS)

(DOMINIC SIGHS)

Don't take it personally.
They still love you.

They just prefer me now.

Uh, thank you, Dominic.
That's very comforting.

Do you know what
I think helps sometimes
in situations like this?

What?

A walk alone in the fog
in former East Berlin.

Maybe along a deserted canal.

Well, I guess a quiet stroll
is not a bad idea.

Let the others know
I've gone, will you?

Sure. I promise.

Thanks. Ah.

(MAN SHOUTING IN GERMAN)

WOMAN: Corrine, come here!

(GIRL GASPING)

(SIGHS)

Boo.
(KERMIT SCREAMS)

(GROANS)

(GRUNTING)

What just happened?

(WOMAN SPEAKING GERMAN)

It's him, he's here.
The evil frog.

The Evil Frog!!

(IN ENGLISH)
What?

That's him.
That's Constantine!

Wait a second.

(ALL CLAMORING)

Hold on, hold on!
There must be some mistake!

Don't you know me?
I'm Kermit the Frog!

Silence, Constantine.
The game is up.

Who?

(GASPS AND SCREAMS)

No, no! Wait a minute!
I'm Kermit the Frog!

Guys, this is a mistake!
I'm telling you! (SCREAMS)

Hey, hey! Hello! Somebody!

Open up!

(SIREN BLARING)

I'm an Amphibian-American!

It's not easy being mean.

(SNICKERING)

(MUPPETS TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

Has anyone seen Kermit?

Whoa!

It's 15 minutes to curtain.

Hi, guys. Look, it's Kermit,

just back from
his afternoon stroll.

Hi-lo! I am Kermit.

What...
Hmm.

DOMINIC: He's got a cold.
That's why his voice

sounds a little bit different
at the moment.

(ALL AGREEING)
(COUGHS)

See? Just calm down.
Just relax.

You are right.

Dominic is terrific!
Aw.

From now on, let's do
whatever he says. Hmm?

ALL: All right. Yeah.

Wow, that walk must
have really helped.

Miss Pig, I have wronged you.

I humbly beg your forgiveness.

You're not getting off
that easy, bucko.

Come on, Foo Foo.
(HARUMPHS)

(SNIFFING)
Bad frog! Bad frog!

(YELLING)

What is this?
Let go, dog!

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...

I am Kermit.
Definitely.

Let's go and hang out
backstage, yeah?

Okay, all right.

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?

Um...

Right, Kermit. Uh...

Sure.

Flawlessly executed. Bravo.

What did you expect from
world's most dangerous frog

and number one criminal,
Number Two?

Yeah, I know. You're
number one, I'm number two.

I think you mentioned
that before.

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...

"Burglary."
Yes.

...of all time, and pin it
on those gullible Muppets,

who will spend the rest
of their miserable lives
behind bars.

Hmm.
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 greatest thief of all time!

You mean our names, right?

Of course.

My name first, then spacebar,
spacebar, spacebar, your name.

DOMINIC: Sure.

Right,
now to cover our tracks.

(ALARM RINGING)
(GASPS)

Let's get out of here!

(PANTING)

(POLICE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY
OVER RADIO)

CIA.

Interpol!

What is the CIA doing here?
This is my jurisdiction.

Not to mention,
my badge is bigger.

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.
Oh.

You must have been
looking at the wrong...

Badge!
What?

(SIGHS) You've won
this round, Pierre.

My name is "Jean."
Okay, Shawn.

It looks like we're gonna
be working together.

But that doesn't mean
I have to like you.

I didn't like you first.

I didn't like you
before I met you.

So, what have we got?

Two priceless
paintings stolen

and one average painting
of an obscure English colonel.

This has all the markings
of the work of the Lemur.

What's a lemur?

Only the second most wanted
criminal in the world.

And my personal nemesis.

Unfortunately for me,
his identity is a mystery.

No, literally,
what is a lemur?

Oh. It is also a rat-monkey
from Madagascar.

Oh.
A-ha!

Just as I suspected.

This coin is his calling card.

The Lemur,
he is playing with us.

I have a delivery here
for Mr. Eagle.

Right here.

And here's your rope.
Mmm.

You were saying?

DOMINIC: Look at that.

"Muppets sell out in Berlin."
Five stars!

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

Kermit the Frog
is liking this news.

Choo-choo, yeah!

(CHUCKLES) Ooh, tunnel.

(GRUNTS)

Ooh!

(MUFFLED YELLING)

CONSTANTINE: (GROANS)
It's not there.

You were wrong!

Not so fast.

Oldest trick in the book.

Write it in lemon juice,

then simply apply heat

to reveal Colonel Blood's map.

Mmm...

Of course, today,
the Crown Jewels lie behind

the most sophisticated
security system on the planet.

And this map, along with
Blood's key and locket,

is the only way
to get close to them.

Good work, Number Two.

What does it say
about location of Blood's key?

Right.

Something, something.

"Finest wooden teeth."

That is not helpful.

Wait.

There's the name
of a city here.

Madrid.

(MAN SHOUTING IN RUSSIAN)

KERMIT:
You've got the wrong frog!

(PRISONERS CLAMORING)

(MUFFLED WHIMPERING)

Hey, hey, hey!

Ah! Ow.

(MUFFLED TALKING)

(GASPING)

It's Constantine.

What?
He's back.

What are you doing?

I'm not Constantine.
My name is Kermit.

Constantine,
always with the jokes!

(ALL LAUGHING)

Good old Constantine.

Always trying
to pull a fast one.

(LAUGHING)

Old friend.

Since you are back,

I guess you are in charge
of prison again.

Here, take prison crown.

We have to readjust it again.
Sergei, you get on that.

Take, take.

(SIGHS)

Oh, thank you.
Uh... (CLEARS THROAT)

Wait a minute.

I've known Constantine
for years.

And he has never...

Ever...

Said "Thank you."

Because I am not Constantine.

(WHIMPERS)

How dare you?

MISS POOGY:
He's not Constantine!

Let's throw him
in the recycling compacter!

Yeah!

MISS POOGY:
Throw him in the compacter!

But I'm already green!

MISS POOGY: Squash that frog!

NADYA: Put the frog down.

Or I will deploy.

(KERMIT YELPS)

(WHIMPERING)

Where am I?

The Gulag.

A gulag?

Gulag. The Big House.

Casa Grande!

ALL: The Big House!

you've got the wrong frog!

If you are not Constantine,
why do you have that mole?

It's not real.
Someone glued it to my lip.

As far as authorities
are concerned,

you are Constantine.

Glue or no glue.

You're going

I wouldn't be so sure.

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.

Yeah, it's not that simple.
You see, no one knows

what Godfrey
the Unknown looked like.

Of course not. He was second
in command, so no one cared.

And there's 250 statues
in that room.

That may be problem.
Let me think, huh, Number Two?

(BREATHES DEEPLY)
Hmm...

Excusez-moi, Kermie.
Do you have a moment?

Kermit.

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 our wedding...

Pig, I have question.

Am I wearing sign
that says "Bother Me"?

(GASPING)

(MISS PIGGY SOBBING)
What was that? What was that?

Uh... I was in the middle

You can. Who cares?

We don't have time

We're up to a three-hour show,
Kermit.

You are forgetting one thing,
small man with glasses.

I can give you what you want.

All right!

Okay.
Indoor running the bulls.

Won't the show be terrible?
Uh... Guys?

So, where is the locket?

There's more.

Of course. That's where

I'm not sure
that was such a great show.

Like, what are you
talking about?

That jam was, like,
totally epic.

Exactly.

And I'm glad to say
the Spanish reviewers

disagree with you as well,

They loved us.

Five out of five

Whoa. Those reviews

And Citizen Kane only got

I am doing my job.

All we need to do
is look at the map

with the blinky lights,

This is how it is done
here in Europe.

In America, we use 3-D

Not cardboard with Christmas

This doesn't make any sense.

Why break in,

There must be something bigger
going on.

But what?

Ah, I've got it!

Oh, sorry. 2:00 PM.
My day is over.

Wait.
Those weirdos, the Muppets,

were performing next
to the crime scene in Berlin.

And here they are,

performing right next to the

You know what that means.

Yes, they love museums!

No!

They're suspects!

Okay. Overtime.

We must find these Muppets
before they flee the country.

That's the second escape

Oh, boy.

Oh, no, no, no.

They couldn't.

Listen, Kermit.

We have annual lighthearted
Gulag Revue coming up.

It is that, or they riot.

I thought you might help me.
Uh...

The thing is, Nadya,

I'm sort of done doing that,
but thanks for the offer.

This is not offer.
This is prison.

You are going to help me.

ridiculous crime scene.

(JEAN PIERRE GASPS)

The comedian bear,
he was here.

SAM THE EAGLE:
The Lemur. He, too, was here.

Could the comedian bear and
the Lemur be one and the same?

The comedian bear
is the Lemur.

That is brilliant.

But why would he steal
a bunch of old bones?

The bones apparently belonged
to one Colonel Thomas Blood.

He was the only man to ever

nearly steal
the Crown Jewels of England.

Wait! Where did the frog say
he was getting married?

The Tower of London.

BOTH: The comedian bear
is planning on stealing...

The Tower of London!
The Crown Jewels!

The Crown Jewels.

(SIGHS)

Sir, where would you
like the flowers?

Who cares?

Hey, chief.

Hi-lo.

Uh, we've all been
thinking, and...

Well, after you and Miss Piggy
get married,

what's gonna happen
to the tour?

And to us?

Well, now you guys
have all the freedom you want.

You don't need me.

I'm done with Muppets.

Huh?
(ALL GASP)

But, hey,
it's been a good run, right?

Hmm?

Good luck.

FLOYD: Kermit!

Did he just say
what I thought he said?

What are we gonna do
without Kermit?

The only thing we can do.

Pack up, go to the wedding,

and head back home.

Oh, Foo Foo,
it's always been a fight.

But this is so easy,
it just doesn't feel right.

Lady and gentlemen,

good evening and welcome to
the Gulag Annual Revue Show!

Escapo,
you're up after the ballet.

Okay... Mmm-hmm.

(GASPS)

Kermit! Kermit!

Psst!

Kermit.
(GASPS)

Fozzie. Walter. Animal.

We're here to rescue you.

Yes!
And we've got to go right now!

Yeah!

(SOBBING)

(MELANCHOLY CLASSICAL MUSIC

(GROANING)
Hey!

I can't believe you're here.
It's so good to see you guys!

Kermit, listen.

An evil frog named Constantine

has taken over the Muppets
and replaced you!

What? Constantine replaced me?

WALTER: Yeah.

And he was working
together with Dominic.

They're planning
something terrible,

but we don't know what.

But...

How could you not have noticed
that he'd replaced me, 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 know.

"Animal know"?
Mmm-hmm.

You mean, all this time,

I've been locked
in a Russian gulag,

no one, not one single person

from the Muppets
except Animal

noticed I'd been replaced by
an evil criminal mastermind?

It sounds worse than it was.

No. It's as bad as it sounds.

(SIGHS)

I thought you guys
had forgotten about me.

That you didn't
need me anymore.

We'd never forget about you.

We need you
more than ever, Kermit.

Good frog.

(HORN HONKS)

Late extra! Late extra!
Read all about it!

Kermit and Miss Piggy
to be married in London!

(GASPS)

WALTER: What?
ANIMAL: Uh-oh.

Piggy?

Piggy's gonna marry
the world's most
dangerous frog tomorrow?

Piggy and the gang
are in danger!

To London!

ALL: No. Kermit!

(GUNSHOTS)

Oh, yeah, I forgot.
I'm in a gulag.

Sorry about that, Ivan!

It's okay!

No problem, Kermit.
It's easy mistake.

Right.
Thanks for not shooting me!

Sure. No prob...
Hey, nothing personal.

We have to escape, guys.
Tonight!

FOZZIE: But how?

Kermit.
(ALL EXCLAIM)

Do you know where these prop

are supposed to go

KERMIT: Uh...

Nice try, Escapo.

I sure hope
this works, Walter.

I have tried a lot of ways
to get out of here.

This is gonna work, Kermit.
I'll see you on the outside.

KERMIT: We did it!
Great work, guys!

Now put the pedal
to the metal.

We have a wedding to crash!

ALL: Yeah!

(PEOPLE CHEERING)
MAN: Good luck, Kermit!

Thank you very much.

FOZZIE: That's a nice venue.

KERMIT: The main entrance
is too well-guarded.

I'm gonna need to get in
some other way.

Here you go.

(CLEARS THROAT)

You're the new guy?

Yes, I am.

Next time, wear a uniform.

Right.

(WHIMPERING)

Oh, boy.

Wow, Kermit, you were like
James Bond back there.

Thanks, Fozzie.
Okay, listen, guys.

Walter, you and Animal
go look in the chapel.

Right.

Fozzie, come with me.
Yes, sir.

Good luck, guys.

You, too, Kermit.

Piggy?

Where is she?

Kermit,
these are your clothes.

Whoa!
(MIRROR SHATTERS)

Shh!

CONSTANTINE:
This tuxedo is too tight.

Someone's coming! Hide! Hide!

Which room am I
supposed to be in?

Ah, here it is.

I hate weddings.

Hmm?

Hmm...

(GASPS)

Ha!

What the...

Ah. There you are.

Well, don't just stand there
gawping, Number Two.

Come in.

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.

But what will you do
when you're married?

Because the pig
will know everything.

Once she's served her purpose,
kaboom.

It will be bacon
for breakfast.

(GASPS)

(LAUGHING EVILLY)

Champagne fridge delivery.

Put it over there
on the bear-skin rug.

(WHIMPERING SOFTLY)

FOZZIE: Ooh!

Thank you!

It's show time.

Fozzie, are you okay?

Yeah, I think so.
How do I look?

You look fine.
You look fine.

Come on, we have to go
rescue Miss Piggy!

Right! Let's go!

The Lemur!
I have you finally!

And Constantine,

the world's
most dangerous frog!

No, no, no.

As you might say,
case sol-ved!

Perfect! Time for my annual
eight-week paid vacation.

Au revoir.
Au revoir.

No, wait!

What am I
supposed to do with them

until the mobile holding unit
arrives?

On holiday!

KERMIT: And now you've got
the wrong frog.

And stay there! Hmph!

(BOTH WHIMPERING)

Oh, and so you know,
Number Two,

I have hired us help.

The world's smallest team
of jewel thieves.

Babies, meet your new boss.

Genius, I know!
Who would suspect babies
of stealing Crown Jewels?

Look at their sweet faces.

(BLOWING RASPBERRIES)

LINK HOGTHROB:
Let's see. Where am I seated?

I'll need an usher.
Usher? Is there an usher?

Yes. I'm the Usher.

Pig or frog?

What do you think?

I don't know, man. Pig?

No. Frog.
I'm related through marriage.

What kind of an usher are you?

the suspend-y ropey thing.

And my really cool

Yep.

Shawn,
come back from vacation!

Constantine and the Lemur
have escaped.

The Crown Jewels
are in danger!

We are gathered here today
to witness the union

of this pig
and this frog

in Holy Matrimony
before the presence of God.

Do you,
Kermit the Frog,

take Miss Piggy to be your
lawfully wedded wife,

in sickness and in health,

so help you God?

Yes. Yes, I do.

And do you, Miss Piggy...

Hmm?

...take Kermit the Frog

to be your
lawfully wedded husband,

in sickness and in health,

so help you God?

I...

(ALL GASP)

I...
(ALL GASP)

(WHISPERING) Just say "I do."

This is what
you've always wanted, right?

I do?

I'm sorry, is that a question?

No, it was not a question.

(PANTING)

We have to do something, guys.

Kermit, we've got to get you
close to Miss Piggy!

Huh. What does this do?

(YELLS)

(CROWD EXCLAIMING)

Ooh!

What the...
Piggy, it's me, Kermit.

Come on, we have to get out of
here! The wedding is off.

Oh, wow!

Like, I kind of knew
he'd get cold flippers.

Huh?

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Excuse us.

(ALL YELLING)

No, Kermit!
What are you doing?

Piggy, I will explain later.

I cannot believe...

CONSTANTINE: Come here, frog!
(EXCLAIMS)

Where you going?

I'm sorry, my dear,
forgive me.

MISS PIGGY: What is going on
at my wedding?

Gotcha!
What?

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

WALTER: Animal, pull!

CONSTANTINE:
What is happening here?

Catch froggie! Catch froggie!

Well, this is the best
Muppet wedding ever!

Piggy, listen!
That's not me! I'm me!

(CHEWING)

He's Constantine,
the world's most dangerous...

(YELLS)
(ALL EXCLAIM)

(GASPS)

Two Kermits?

Well, that explains a lot.

How can there be two Kermits?

Of all the ways
to ruin a wedding,

this has got to be
the most creative.

Two Kermits!

No, just one Kermit. Me.

No, no, no.
Do not listen to him!

I am the real Kermit.

That's ridiculous!
I am Kermit the Frog!

No, I am Kermit the Frog!
Hi-lo, Kermit the Frog, here.

"Hi-lo?" It's "Hi-ho!"

Would every Kermit be quiet!

BOTH: Huh?

Well, there's only
one true way to settle this.

First Kermit.

Will you marry me?

Yes, of course, let's go!

The helicopter is waiting,
my love!

And you, the other Kermit...

Will you marry me?

(STAMMERING)
Well, I mean, I...

I would.
I mean, I could. It's...

(GASPS) That's my Kermit!

(YELLS)
(ALL GASP)

(ALL CHEERING)
DR. TEETH: That's our frog!

Kissy-kissy!

Hmm...

(ALL GASP)

That is right, Muppets!

I am Constantine,

the world's most dangerous
frog and number one criminal!

And a thousand times more frog
than this Kermit person!

And now...

I have only one thing
to say to you fools!

Good night, folks!

(BEEPING)

(ALL CLAMORING)

Yay!

What is that?

It's a bomb!

This is where my patented

magnetic bomb-attractor vest
can aid us,

that Beaker is
conveniently wearing.

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

What? What's going on?

(SCREAMING)

Wait!
Miss Piggy's ring is the bomb!

Whoa!

Some of you guys grab Piggy,
and some of you guys grab me.

Pull!

(ALL GASP)
(SCREAMING)

That's only 800 years old.

(EXCLAIMING)

Nicely done, Beaker!

(YELLING)

MISS PIGGY: Kermit!

Help!

Piggy!
Help!

She's on the roof!

Shut up and keep moving, pig!
You are my insurance policy!

Huh?

Number Two,
you look ridiculous.

Why are you wearing that?

Because I am the Lemur.

And the world's
new number one criminal.

That's right.

This is where
I double-cross you.

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.

(BEEPING)

(SCREAMS)

The Lemur is literally
the worst bad guy name
I have ever heard!

Let's go!

(STRUGGLING)

Oh, no!

He's getting away!
What are we gonna do?

I'm gonna
stop that helicopter.

(ALL CLAMORING)

We're coming!
Hang on, Miss Piggy!

Jump!

(WHIMPERING)
Shut up, pig!

Kermit!

We have to do something!

I got it!

There's only one way we can
reach him up there!

Muppet Ladder!

What the...?

Kermit!

Come on up, Chef!

Watch the hair, bear.

Give up, Constantine.
I've got you now!

Bad move, frog.

(SCREAMS)
Kermit!

Okay, Kermit,
we're coming to get you.

Now!

ALL: Whoa!
Whoa!

No, something's wrong.

We're not moving.

(ALL STRAINING)

You're ruining my getaway!

(MISS PIGGY GASPS)

Hang on, Piggy! I'm coming!

Go get 'em, Kermit!

(GRUNTS)

Kermie!

Welcome aboard, Kermit.

You don't know
who you're dealing with.

I am the world's
most dangerous frog.

Oh, brother!

You may be the world's
most dangerous frog,

but you're still a frog!

No one tricks me
into marrying them

and then hurts my Kermie!

Ha!

(GROANING)

What a woman!

Yeah. My woman.

And I believe
this belongs to you.

(GROANS)

Well, I'm sorry
I ruined your wedding.

Oh, Kermie...

I'm so glad you did.

ROWLF: Okay.
Can we get down now?

(SIRENS APPROACHING)
We did it, guys!

(ALL CHEERING)

SCOOTER:
What an action sequence!

LEW ZEALAND: You sure
look pretty, Miss Piggy.

Thank you.

Congratulations, weirdos,
you've saved the Crown Jewels!

And you've caught my nemesis,
the Lemur.

Look at his little costume.

That's adorable!

I'm not adorable.
He is adorable.

You're adorable!

Did you make
that kitty-cat outfit?

The bad guy
is Dominic Badguy!

(ALL GASP)

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.

Oh, pull yourself
together, man.

Stop crying.

We're only saying
our final farewell.

Goodbye forever!
(SOBBING)

I'm going to miss you so much!

I'm going to miss you,
my French friend.

(ALL GROANING)

Whenever you're ready.

Yes.
Yes, of course.

Take them away!
Take them away!

DOMINIC: Thank you.
Au revoir, Muppets.

Bye-bye.

See you!

DOMINIC: You're number two.

CONSTANTINE: Shut up.

Sam! Wait for me!

(SIGHS)

You know...

I missed all of you so much.

NADYA:
There he is, right there!

Arrest him! Arrest that frog!

Nadya?
Wait. For what?

For leading the largest

mass break-out
in Gulag history.

You will get 30 years.
Maybe 50.

But...
No "buts," Kermit.

You didn't finish
Gulag Annual Revue,

and you didn't even
say goodbye.

What?
What?

You are coming with me.
Now, move!

(STAMMERING)
Fellas, listen. Easy.

No, no, no! Kermit!

Wait!

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.

Because if Kermit
has to go back to the gulag...

You'll have to take me, too.

No.

You're my best friend, Kermit.
Wherever you go, I go.

You'll have to take me, too.

And me.

Kermit, we convinced ourselves
that evil frog was you

because he gave us
what we thought we wanted.

When what we really wanted...

What we really needed...

Was you, Kermit.

The actual, real you.

It would appear
you were right, Kermit.

I guess this is your family.

And families belong together.

You are free to go.
(ALL GASP)

Forever.

(ALL CHEERING)

Kermit, did you hear that?
We're free!

Nadya, thank you! Great!

That's wonderful!

Wait!

Hey, guys, listen.

We still have to finish
our world tour.

And I know
where we need to play next.

For one night only...

Siberia, Russia!

(ALL CHEERING)

Yes, yes!

I'll pack my swimsuit
right away!

Oh, wonderful!

It's terrible.

You will hate it.
You will hate it.

this is it.
