  Ernie : Yes! Yes starts with the letter "Y".

  Doc : True.

  Ernie : And true starts with the letter "T".

  Doc : [chuckles]  Hey, what is this?

  Bert : Where we come from, this is small talk.

  Doc : Well, whatever you day, nice to be meeting you, but I'd better go up and build some bunk beds.

  Ernie , Bert : Bunk beds!

  Ernie : B words.

  [he and Bert laugh] 

• Doc : [after the Muppet babies' Christmas home movie]  Aw, that was fun! Even weirdos are cute when they're babies.

  Gonzo : [rushing to Doc]  I knew you'd learn to love us!

  Doc : I didn't say that.

• Doc : Careful, Sprocket. These may be from some foreign planet.

  Emily 'Ma' Bear : Actually, they're from television. I recognize Fozzie's weirdo friends.

  Dr. Teeth : Yeah, and we're proud of it, too!

  Sam the Eagle : Why am I here?

• Doc : There's one worried frog.

  Count : Ah, that's ONE! One worried frog!

  Robin : No, he's not the only one.

  Count : That's TWO! Two worried frogs! Ha ha ha ha!

  [thunder and lightning] 

  Sprocket the Dog : Rrrr?

  Doc : Search me. More "small talk" I think.

• Doc : Excuse me! You promised me a nice, quiet Christmas.

  Emily 'Ma' Bear : You think you're disappointed? I just took three months of surfing lessons for zip.

• Doc : You promised me a nice, quiet Christmas!

  Animal : Peace on Earth! Give me presents!

• Sprocket the Dog : Ruff ruff ruff! Ruff ruff ruff! Ruff ruff ruff!

  Rowlf : Woof woof! Yeah! Bark bark!

  Doc : Don't you hate it when you can't speak the language?

• Doc : [the doorbell rings, then he enters the house as Santa]  Ho ho ho!

  All Muppets : [cheering and shouting indistinctly]  Merry Christmas, everyone!

  Doc : Merry Christmas, everyone!

• Doc : Sprocket and I came here to spend Christmas alone, but this is better!

• Doc : [as the Swedish Chef taps Sprocket with a spiked wooden server between the spokes of a dinner chair]  This is my dog, Sprocket; he is not a Christmas turkey!

  Swedish Chef : Dër schmëcka gøbblä gøbblä fëffernøøse!

  Doc : I don't care if the turkey said the dog is a turkey. The dog is not the turkey; the turkey's the turkey, you turkey! Come on, Sprocket.

  [he takes the chair away as Sprocket barks] 

  Swedish Chef : Schmëcka gøbblä gøbblä gërfëy wërfëy.

  Turkey : [chuckles]  This is startin' to be fun, hee-hee-hee.

  [seeing Camila] 

  Turkey : Whoa, speaking of fun, hey mum, how you doin'?
