[the Goodies have been told there's half an hour to go before the end of the world]

Tim:
At least there's time to do the ironing. [Brings in the ironing board and a basket of laundry] Just think, this is the end of Derby County... and the Muppets!

Graeme:
The Muppets?

Tim:
Yes, when we go, they'll go too, you know... oh, I do hope they don't suffer.

Graeme:
They're not real, you know!

Tim:
Well, of course they're real!

Graeme:
Don't be silly... the Muppets are just dollies!

Tim:
If they're "dollies", how come they can sing and dance and make sophisticated funny remarks?

Graeme:
Look, Kermit the frog is a green sock.

Tim:
[suddenly disturbed] What?

Graeme:
Kermit the frog is a man on his knees with a green sock on his hand! [to demonstrate, he uses a green sock as a glove puppet and imitates Kermit] "Hello frog lovers, and welcome to the Muppet Show! I'd like to welcome our very special guest, Miss Piggy. Yay-ay-ay-ay!"

Tim:
Well she has GOT to be real.

Graeme:
Pair of old y-fronts and a mop head. [He holds up a pair of underpants and a mop head, and speaks like Miss Piggy] "Hello Kermit, spawn of my heart, frog of my dreams!" [as Kermit] "Hi there Miss Piggy, and what can I do for you?" Fozzie Bear is a brown woolly jumper with a hat on! [Holds up a brown pullover and a hat and speaks like Fozzie] "Oh boy, funn-y! Oh Kermit, I hope those two old guys don't heckle me!" [Holds up two sponge balls and imitates Waldorf and Statler] "Boo boo, the bear's a comedian, the comedian's a bear! Boo, boo!" [Waves a feather duster in Tim's face and bellows] "A-NI-MAL!"

Tim:
[Nearly hysterical] No, stop it! Lies! LIES!

Graeme:
[holds up the green sock again and sings] "Halfway up the stairs is the stair where I"...

Tim:
NO! [runs into the kitchen, screaming]

Graeme:
I'll release his inhibitions through anger and violence! My life's work is at an end. I can die a happy man.

[Tim emerges screaming from the kitchen and throws the gas cooker at Graeme]

Graeme:
You shouldn't have hit me with that! You'll ruin the cake!

Graeme Garden:
[after the boys have convinced the Detective's Club the train is real, Graeme and Tim convene in the livestock car] Now the problem is, we need a crime. A crime for them to solve.

Bill Oddie:
[Comes in, inexplicably wet] That's easy - I'm gonna kill you!

Graeme Garden:
[Pinches his nose to block a bad smell] Whoo! Dear...

Bill Oddie:
What? It's not me! It's not me! It must be the goat! You naughty goat, what have you done? You...

Tim Brooke-Taylor:
[pinches his own nose when Bill comes close] Bill, eeew...

Bill Oddie:
Oh, shut up! Come on, please! Honestly! It was snowing, wasn't it? It was snowing! So I have to shelter somewhere, don't I? So what do I do? I climb under the train, don't I? And while I'm there under the train, all of a sudden, SWOOSH! I get a ruddy great load of...!

Graeme Garden:
Shhh, shhh, shhh...! [the train engine starts chugging]

Bill Oddie:
Don't shush me, mate! I've had enough, I tell you! And you can have your train record back! [Hands it to him] No more "Woo-Woo!" No more running up and down in trees! I'm fed up!

Graeme Garden:
Bill, this is my train record!

Bill Oddie:
Yes it is! And no more humping cows up and down, or I shall kill you! I...

Graeme Garden:
Bill, my train record is in here, and yet I can still hear the sound, as of a moving train!

Bill Oddie:
Listen, I don't care about that, mate! As far as I am concerned, the "Orient Express" stops RIGHT HERE! [Goes to step outside and as the train is indeed moving is thrown out onto the side of the tracks]

Bill & Tim:
[as rabbits] Nnnyeeehh

Graeme Garden:
[Serves them a whole lot of carrots] There we are eat 'em all up. [Bill and Tim refuse, showing a great dislike for the carrots] Aw c'mon, if you're real rabbits you can't get enough of those.

Tim Brooke-Taylor:
Course we're not real rabbits; [suddenly realise] Oh, did I say that?

Graeme Garden:
[Pleased, and slightly cocky by this reaction] It's wearing off isn't it?

Bill Oddie:
No it is not!

Graeme Garden:
[Adamant] In that case eat your carrots!

Bill Oddie:
Naw, c'mon, even rabbits need a change of diet now and again.

Graeme Garden:
All right then, 2 tons of lettuces. [Further disgust and refusal from Bill and Tim]

Tim Brooke-Taylor:
Why not... Fish and chips?

Graeme Garden:
[Again pleased by the response] It is wearing off isn't it?

Tim Brooke-Taylor:
No! We're still the sworn servants of Big Bunny. [Bill and Tim raise their arms in a 'Heil Hitler' gesture] .

Graeme Garden:
Aw well, if you're still the sworn servants of Big Bunny, you probably won't want a slice of this delicious pie. [Affirmative murmurs from Bill and Tim, a few words such as "pie?" and "scrummy" can be heard] Oh all right, there you are [serves them slices of pie] eat up. Nice isn't it?

Tim Brooke-Taylor:
Great, what is it?

Graeme Garden:
[Triumphantly as he shows them a pie with rabbit ears sticking out of it] . Rabbit pie!

Tim Brooke-Taylor:
Oh no! You mean like... you made us cannibals? [Feigned sobs from Bill and Tim. The door opens to reveal a rabbit]

Big Bunny:
Stop! Stop!

Bill Oddie:
Huh? Who said that?

Big Bunny:
It is I your leader.

Bill & Tim:
Big Bunny.

Graeme Garden:
[Indicates Big Bunny] Well?

Tim Brooke-Taylor:
Well... [Bill and Tim pick up cutlery from the table]

Bill & Tim:
Dinner! [the two of them chase after Big Bunny,then the end credits start to roll as they chase Big Bunny down the road]

Tim:
IWill you please stop just going round in circles?

Bill:
Well, not much else to do in a lighthouse, is there, mate? I mean, everything's round in a lighthouse. Look at it. The room, carpet, chairs, window - it's all round! I can't stand it much longer! Five years? I'm in here five minutes and I've had enough! It's round, it's round, it's round, it's round, IT'S ALL ROUND! It's round!

Tim:
Well, put on a nice record, then.

Bill:
[Picks up record] It's round! [Smashes it to pieces]

Tim:
All right, I'll give you a game of chess.

Bill:
[Picks up - oddly enough - a round chessboard] ROUND! [Throws it away]

Tim:
Here's your supper... [mutters indistinctly to himself as he puts the plate down]

Bill:
[Proceeds to throw each item across the room or onto the floor in turn] Look at this. Hamburgers - ROUND! Peas - ROUND! Carrots - ROUND! The plate! A ROUND PLATE! What about this? Look at that tray! You know what shape the tray is? The shape! Of the tray! Is ROUND! The table! The table... now let me guess, let me guess, don't tell me, I bet it's round, I bet it. OH-HO! What a surprise! [Proceeds to bang fists on table in a tantrum] IT'S ROUND! IT'S ALL ROUND!

Tim:
Well, you can't complain about this - your favorite pudding! Lemon meringue pie!

Bill:
What shape's that?

Tim:
[Suddenly afraid]... Square...?

Bill:
No it isn't. It's round.

Tim:
Square-ish!

Bill:
It is not. It's round. Give me that. [Takes pie] It's round, isn't it? And it's going right in your round face!

Tim:
[as Bill chases him around the table] It's not round! It's square! It's not round! It's not round! It's not round! [Gets the pie right in the face]

Bill:
You know, I feel curiously better for that...
