Kermit: What the hey! Dr. Honeydew, Beaker what are you doing in that box?
Honeydew: Sneaking past Disney security. (audience laughs) Actually Mr. Frog, I’m terribly sorry we were tardy. We ran into a slight delay at the airport. Well Beakie and I were mistaken for Sigfried and Roy and spent three hours signing autographs.
Kermit: Well could we get this thing started, please.
Honeydew: Absolutely. Mr. Rivkin you did a lovely job on your speech. See you got your lines right after all. And now with the help of my faithful assistant Beaker we will activate Muppet*Vision 3D. Okay Beakie, let ‘er rip! Yes, you Beakie. Pull the chain. You don’t have to be afraid, it won’t hurt you.
(Beaker sighs followed by a flushing noise)
Honeydew: Pardon us, wrong switch there. That was part of an attraction we are working on for Disney’s Flushing Meadow Adventure. Try again Beakie.
(Beaker squeals as steam comes out his ears.)
Honeydew: Oh Beakie. There you go causing another rolling blackout. Shame on you. It appears I will have to take matters into my own hands.
(Bunsen brings out an explosive detonator. )
Kermit: Wait a second, Bunsen.what? What? Are you..?
Honeydew: All right. (clears his throat) I hearby open Muppet*Vision 3D.
Kermit: No, no, no. Bunsen, Bunsen!
(Fireworks explode all around MuppetVision 3*D )
Kermit: Oh, no.
Honeydew: Well, Beakie. I think, uh, why don’t we go somewhere else and do something different.

Kermit: Well, uh, gee, folks, due to an unforeseen circumstance it looks like maybe we won’t be able to open the attraction at all. But if you’d all like to stick around I’ll ask the girls of The View to come over and sing some show tunes. Gee.
Charles: I don’t know, Kermit, but what about this big box marked "Start"?
Kermit: Ooh, look at that. Hey that could work. O.k. guys on the count of three.
Cynthia: o.k.
(They place their hands on the big red button.)
Kermit: One, two, three.

(Confetti covers the crowd and Sweetums bursts through the image of Kermit and the gang and invites the press to follow him into the theater. )
Kermit: Thanks for coming everybody. Make your way inside to see the show. (Muppet theme plays) Come on inside everybody. (Cynthia blows Kermit a little kiss. Kermit helps to direct traffic into the theater.)
Sweetums bursts on the scene
