Kermit the Frog: What? You kidnapped Jack Black? That's illegal!
Fozzie Bear: What's more illegal, Kermit: briefly inconveniencing Jack Black, or destroying the Muppets?
Kermit the Frog: Kidnapping Jack Black, Fozzie!
[Waldorf finishes explaining the contract]
Statler: If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were reciting some sort of important plot point.
Waldorf: I hope so. Otherwise I would've bored half the audience half to death.
Statler: You mean half the audience is still alive?
Jack Black: I'm being held captive by these weirdos!
Statler: Now you know how we've felt for the last forty years.
Walter: But Kermit, you have to try! The Muppets are AMAZING! You give people the greatest gift that can ever be given!

Walter: No, no, after that...

Jack Black: Animal, what are you doing here?

Miss Piggy's Receptionist: She has an opening in early September.
Walter: Early September? But that's in six months!

Fozzie Bear: Wow, that was an expensive looking explosion! I can't believe we had that in the budget.
Statler: I always dreamed we'd be back here.
Waldorf: Dreams? Those were nightmares!
Walter: ...and then, when he thought they were alone, he said, "There's oil under this theater, see! I'm gonna tear it to the ground, see! Sweet, sweet oil, see!"
Mary: People still talk like that?
Walter: Maybe that's just how he sounded in my head.

Tex Richman: To the end of the Muppets!
[Uncle Deadly grabs the boltcutters to stop Tex]
Tex Richman: Deadly! What are you doing?
Uncle Deadly: Enough! Just because I have a terrifying name and an evil English accent, does not preclude the fact that, in my heart, I am a Muppet, not a Moopet! Looks like it's I who will have the last laugh!
Tex Richman: What does that mean?
Uncle Deadly: It's an idiom, you idiot, because you cannot laugh! Ha ha!
[Tex falls off the roof and lands on the ground with a thud]

[cut back to the car]
Rowlf: Heh heh. Classic.
Tex Richman: The show's over!
Fozzie Bear: But we were so close!
[bangs his head against the score board, which suddenly goes from reading, "$9,999,999" to "$99,999.99"]
Fozzie Bear: Or... not. Eh, kinda makes me feel better, actually. We were nowhere close at all!
Lew: We all agreed that a celebrity isn't a people.
[from trailer]
Gary: Whoa whoa whoa, wait wait wait, stop!
[looks directly into the camera]
Gary: Are there Muppets in this movie?
Jack Black: Where am I? Why am I so fancy? This is not good for my image!
[as Gary and Walter prepare to leave for Los Angeles]
Walter: Maybe Kermit will be there!
Gary: I wouldn't get your hopes up, buddy. The Muppets haven't put on a show together in years. I don't think they use the studios for anything but tours anymore.

Gary: Walter, how many times do we have to go through this? Turkey is a real place!

Miss Poogy: Who are you calling 'sister', sister?
Miss Piggy: Oh, look! An omelette station.
Miss Poogy: Where?
Miss Piggy: HIYA! There's only room for one Miss Piggy. And that's moi.
Miss Poogy: Yeah? Well, you ain't seen the last of me. I'll be back.
Miss Piggy: Yesh, yeah, ever heard of mouthwash?
Kermit the Frog: Listen everybody, we've got nothing to be ashamed of. And you know why? Well because, thanks to Walter here we tried. And if we failed, we failed together and to me that's not failing at all. And I don't care what anybody says, I don't care if no one believes in us because... I believe. I believe in you. And you. And you. You know what's important isn't this building or name, it's each other. So I say fine, let's just start from the bottom and work our way back up to the top. Let's all walk out through these doors with our heads held up high, as a family because that's what we are.
Gary: It sounds like you guys aren't getting back together any time soon.

But, I guess that's okay, 'cause maybe someday... I know just how it's going to be. He'll ride up on a steed, get down on one knee, and say, "Mary, will you marry me... please?"
Kermit the Frog: [singing] Was there more I could have said?/Now they're only pictures in my head/That's why my green is feeling gray/Even frogs have rainy days
Bobo: I love geriatric humor...
Walter: Either way, we've got to find Kermit! He'll know what to do.
Mary: How do we find Kermit? Nobody's seen him in years.
