Ah. Who are you?
Well, I'm tonight's guest star, Roger Moore.
That's funny, I could have swore you were that James Bond fella from the movies.
Him. You mustn't believe everything you see in the movies.
All that secret agent spy stuff is only make-believe.
Okay, young fella, if you say so.
Hello, this is Agent Pops to control. Do you read me?
MAN: Go ahead, Agent Pops.
Yeah, 007 just passed checkpoint Able, headed your way--
All right, who are you working for?
The frog! The frog!
Oh. That's funny. So am I.
It's The Muppet Show, with our very special guest star, Roger Moore!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, and welcome again to The Muppet Show.
And it's going to be a wonderful show tonight,
because our special guest is James Bond, secret agent 007,
known secretly to his millions of fans as movie star Roger Moore!
[AUDIENCE GASPS]
Yes! But first, meet the Vikings,
those cruel, heartless Scandinavian marauders,
whose savage brutality earned them the reputation:
"Worst Human Beings in History."
[CHEF SHOUTING GIBBERISH]
Uh, I'm sorry about that.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, uh, the Vikings.
Those gentle, quaint, fun-loving old charmers.

Tell me, Statler, did you ever have any Naval experience?
Well, I once saved a rat from drowning.
Really? How?
I gave him mouse-to-mouse resuscitation!
Okay, Roger Moore's number is next. On-stage, Roger and Miss Piggy.
Way to go, Vikings. Nicely pillaged.
[SPEAKING GIBBERISH]
Mm. Tell that to the Chef!
Hey, Kermit, you want us to put these pies on-stage?
Uh, no. Why?
Don't you remember? When I asked you what we were gonna do
for that big James Bond number with Roger Moore, you said:
"Use pies."
No, no, no. Not "pies." I said "spies."
Oh. How embarrassing.
Oh, yes, never mind, listen, I gotta introduce Roger's first number.
Just get rid of those pies.
-You mean throw them away? -Yeah.
Okay.
Wha--? Oh! Watch out!
Uh, excuse the pie, folks. It's all part of the show. Ahem.
Um... And now a man who needs no introduction...
So, what am I doing out here?
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, Roger Moore! Yay!
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Come sit, Roger.
Ah. Roger, I'm so glad you asked me up here.
Well, actually, I didn't ask you.
Oh. Well, Roger, mon amour, you know we are meant to be.
Vous et moi.
Vous et moi? Nous?
-Who? -"We."
Oh, oui, oui, oui, oui.

[DOORBELL RINGS]
Roger, I'm here!
-Annie Sue, how lovely you look. -Oh!
This is your date?
Yes, we're going to the opening of Hamlet.
Put off the lights, will you?
Hi-yah!
Quite a touching scene. 007 and 700.
-700? -Mm-hm.
Is that Miss Piggy's code name?
No, it's her weight!
Her weight!
Okay, nice number, nice number.
-Thank you, Annie Sue. -Thank you!
-Roger, you were great. -Oh, thank you, Kermit.
By the way, do you use pies on the show?
Spies?
No, pies.
Uh, well, maybe down in the canteen.
On-stage.
I don't think so. Why?
I just trod in one.
Gee. He's so suave, I never would have noticed unless he mentioned it.
Okay, Lew Zealand, you're on.
[LAUGHS]
Yeah, here I am, Lew Zealand and my fabulous singing fish!
[LAUGHS]
With our rendition of "You Light Up My Life."
Maestro, please.

Listen, fish freak, we are trying to put on a classy show here.
You can't treat me like that! I'll sic my pet barracuda on you!
Get her, Fred!
Aah! Get that smelly thing away from me!
Okay, Vet's Hospital on in three minutes!
Kamikaze attack! Banzai!
Oh. Ha, ha.
Roger, how was Hamlet?
Oh, it was canceled. We saw Pygmalion instead.
[PIGGY GRUMBLES]
Good riddance, suet snout!
Kermit, is it always like this on the show?
Uh, wow do you mean?
Well, all this craziness.
Well, this is a rather quiet show for us. No unforeseen disasters so far.
JANICE: Hurry up, guys!
All right, all right. I just hit the frog.
PIGGY: Watch out!
[KERMIT YELLS]
Unforeseen disasters?
Uh, well, that's a disaster we knew about all along.
NARRATOR: And now, Veterinarian's Hospital.
The continuing story of a quack who's gone to the dogs.
Well, Nurse Piggy, ready to save another life?
-Yes, Dr. Bob. -Good.
Send the patient to another hospital.
Dr. Bob, this is a special patient. Can't you tell by looking at him?
Yes, he looks like a very unlucky bullfighter.
-Gored right through the gourd. -Oh!
Down, boy!
-Dr. Bob. -Hm?
That is a helmet and he is a Viking.
I know all about them. They come from Denmark.
One of my ancestors was a Viking.
Oh, this isn't going to be a Great Dane joke, is it?
Well, it's a Dane joke, but I wouldn't call it great.
Dr. Bob, no more jokes just because he's Danish.
Well, don't blame me. I ordered a roll, not a Danish.
Oh, brother.
Gotta keep them coming fast and furious.
Why not try fast and funny?
Just hurry it up, will you?
I gotta get back to my plundering and pillaging.
Down, boy! Listen, my ancestor the Viking was terrible at plundering and pillaging.
-He was? -Yes.
He blundered his plundering and he was stupid with his pillaging.
ALL: How stupid was he?
They called him the pillage idiot.
NARRATOR: And so we come to the end of another Veterinarian's Hospital.
Tune in again next week, when you'll hear Dr. Bob say:
Good night, and may the good Lord take a Viking to you.
"Viking to you"!

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
NARRATOR: And now...
Ridding the world of evil, here comes Bear on Patrol!
Oh.
Oh, great, you found my Frisbee!
It is not a Frisbee. It is my toupee.
Good thing I ordered a new one.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Oh. That must be the visiting toupee representative,
and you know what that means.
Yes. The wig man!
This could be your lucky day!
Well, I certainly hope so.
Oh, let's see.
These are the very latest.
It is not a wig.
It would look dumb, and they would slide off my head.
No, these will never slide off.
Whoa! Wait! Sir? Sir, you're-- Oh!
Sir, sir, sir! Sir! Sir! Sir!
Yeah! Get the picture?
Yes. You are a handcuff salesman.
I don't think we need any handcuffs today, sir.
See, he loses the key.
-Oh! -Here, you try them.
What are you doing? I don't like this. Wait a min-- Oh!
Whoa! Sir! Whoa! Whoa!
Yeah. They're good, all right.
I don't know, there's something about them I don't like.
Well, they do have some drawbacks.
How do you get them off?
That's one of the biggest.
[BOTH SHOUT]
Wait! Hold it! You can't leave us like this!
You're right. Here's 50 cents.
What's that for?
Get yourself a decent Frisbee.
Hello, Secret Service?
Uh, this is Kermit the Frog, speaking from the Muppet Theater.
Uh, listen, I need to hire a bunch of spies for a closing number.
Mm-hm. How fast can you get here?
[SHOUTS THEN STAMMERS]
Uh, that was pretty fast.
All right, who gave you the Secret Service phone number?
Uh, no one. It's in the yellow pages.
-It is? -Mm-hm.
Listen, all I wanted was some real-life spies for a closing number.
It's a big spy spectacular featuring 007, James Bond.
James Bond?
Don't worry.
We'll fix him.
What?
Yeah, you won't be bothered by him again.
Yeah. At last, a chance to get James Bond!
Hey, guys?
ROGER: Kermit?
Excuse me, everything ready for the closing number?
It's all fixed up. It's going to be absolutely and totally--
Oh, it'll be cute, don't worry.
Cute was the only thing I hadn't worried about.
But, Kermit, I'm going to sing "Talk to the Animals,"
surrounded by oodles of cute, fluffy little creatures.
You'll be surprised.
I'll be surprised?
I already am.
Cute fluffy animals, huh?
Good thing we're masters of instant disguise!
Good thing you're what?
Cute fluffy animals!
What the hey?
[MUPPET SPORTS THEME PLAYS]
This is Louis Kazagger from the Woodland Hills, Nevada, Salt Flats,
where we are now in the fifth week of the annual
Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Cross-Country Billiards Tournament.
Here at the far turn,
it appears that top-seated Rodney Rugg is in the lead.
[PANTING]
However, eager young Swedish hopeful Boo Mortmorkson
is pulling up fast with only three and a half miles to go.
Wait a minute!
What a game, folks!
Boo has overshot the course and landed in a trap!
A moose trap, that is.
I'm not a moose. I'm a deer!
[SHOUTING]
And that's all for now from Muppet Sports.
Here is a Muppet News Flash.
An international spy ring is trying to sneak ridiculous stories into the news.
Fortunately, with the tight security in the Muppet Newsroom, it can't happen here.
In other news, a black-and-yellow striped mackerel
was elected king this morning and--
-Guard? -Yes?
Where have you been?
Oh, I've been showing His Majesty around the newsroom.
Holy mackerel!
No, "Your Highness" will do.
Would you like to be knighted?
Of course.
Okay. Good night!
[CHATTERING]
Don't take that. I don't think Kermit... No, no, please don't touch.
The next musical number is where we get Bond.
Just go down there,
mingle with the other animals, and act cute and cuddly.
Cute and cuddly.
Let go! Let go! Let go!
Uh, Scooter, listen, I gotta go introduce the finale.
Now, some of these animals are spies. You gotta get rid of the spies.
But how?
Tell them there are no spies in the closing number.
You just say, "Spies, go home."
-Uh... -Okay, mingle.
There are no spies in the closing number!
Spies, go home!
Uh, Kermit, nobody's going home!
Uh, well, folks, we were going to do a big James Bond closing number,
with spies and counterspies and action and mayhem,
but we're not going to do that!
Please!
Uh... uh, so, here he is,
that gentle, fun-loving charmer, Roger Moore.

Uh, but before we go,
let us say thank you to a very courageous and brave and foolhardy guest,
ladies and gentlemen, Roger Moore! Yay!

I've had a wonderful time, and I have certainly learnt my lesson.
Uh, well, what lesson is that?
Well, from now on,
I am through with cute, cuddly little animals.
