Bad Hair Day/Transcript

(Theme Song intro)

[After the theme song intro, the title card appears]

[After the title card, the Muppet Babies friends are seen playing just as Skeeter interupts playtime]

Skeeter: "Hey guys! Watch this." [does a flip]

The Muppet Babies gang applauds.

Kermit: "Wow Skeeter, that's amazing! How did you learn to do that?"

Skeeter: "Uh, I'm not sure, but I've been pretty great at it."

Kermit: [shrugs]

[Nanny walks into the room]

Nanny: "Hi, kids, I've got some good news and bad news."

Gonzo: "Oh no, space monsters are attacking, I knew it!"

Nanny: [Chuckles A Bit] "No, Gonzo, space monsters don't even exist."

Gonzo: "Oh good."

Piggy: "So what's the good news, Nanny?"

Nanny: "The good news is that there's an inspector coming to investigate the nursery house."

Fozzie: "What's an inspector?"

Scooter: "An inspector, Fozzie, is a person who comes to your house and investigates to see if you have any weapons, and if you do, you'll go to the jail house."

Nanny: "That's exactly right, Scooter."

Fozzie: "Oh, I thought he was some type of comedian."

Piggy: "Silly Fozzie, an inspector can't be a comedian if he investigates."

Fozzie: "Or maybe he could be an investigating comedian!

[Fozzie Chuckles A Bit]

Piggy: [Groans A Bit]

Walter: "Well, Nanny, you can always count on all of us even when the inspector comes."

Nanny: "That's good, Walter, just try to keep outta trouble, okay?"

Rowlf: "Okay, Nanny, we'll all keep outta trouble."

Nanny: Okay, the inspector should be here soon.

All Muppet Babies friends: "Bye, Nanny!"

Nanny exits the nursery.

Scooter: "Hey, you guys, while the inspector arrives, let's play a real good game."

Kermit: "What game should we play, you guys?"

Piggy: "I have an idea, let's play a game called Hair Cuttery Shop, I'll be the hair cutter, and 1 of you can be my customers."

Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, Rowlf, Scooter, Skeeter, Walter, Bean, Bunsen and Beaker are in a straight line.

Piggy: "Now which 1 of you will be my customer? how 'bout you, Rowlf?"

Piggy points at Rowlf.

Rowlf: "Huh? what? me? well, alright."

Rowlf goes right over to Piggy's pretend hair cutting chair.

Piggy: "Now stay very still, Rowlf, and don't move 1 single muscle."

Rowlf doesn't move 1 single muscle while an imaginary clip of a real hair cuttery shop occurs.

Piggy is still cutting a little bit of Rowlf's hair, but eventually something very disturbing happens.

Piggy: "There, all finished, what do you think, Rowlf?"

Piggy gives Rowlf a portable mirror, and Rowlf looks at his reflection in it.

Rowlf: "I think it looks....it looks...terrible, horrible, my hair looks disturbingly awful!"

Kermit: "Oh gee, Rowlf, we're terribly sorry it happened."

Rowlf: "Hey, Skeeter, do you happen to see any caps lying about someplace?"

Skeeter sees a nice blue baseball cap on the arm of the futon.

Skeeter: "Here's 1, Rowlf."

Rowlf puts the blue baseball cap on his head.

Rowlf: "Thanks, Skeeter, now Nanny will never even notice what just happened."

[Sounds Of Door Opening]

Nanny: "Oh, Mr. Inspector sir, you made it just in the nick of time."

Inspector: "I know, Miss Nanny, now can you please let me through so that I can investigate this nursery house to see if any of the young kids have weapons?"

Nanny: "Why sure, of course."

The Inspector walks around to see if Kermit and the other Muppet Babies friends have any weapons.

Inspector: "So, do you kids have any weapons?"

Kermit: "No, Mr. Inspector sir, we're innocent kids, we don't have any weapons."

Gonzo: "Just some of our fun toys and games and picture books."

Inspector: "Oh good, so you guys aren't criminals after all."

Fozzie: "Wow, that was a real close call."

Scooter: "I thought we were gonna get sent to the jail house."

Inspector: "Well, I'll see all of you next October."

The Inspector leaves the nursery house.

Piggy: "Rowlf, I'm terribly sorry about that bad hair cut I gave you this morning."

Rowlf: "Oh, it's no big deal, Piggy, at least we can apologize about it with a real good song on my piano."

Fozzie: "What a good idea."

Kermit: "Hit it, Rowlf."

Rowlf: [Playing Music On Toy Piano Keys]

Rowlf: It all began on a beautiful day not too far away, when I sat in that chair, down from mid-air, I was perfectly fine, waiting in line, but then with 1 snip and clip, something drove me mad, and right now, my hair is very, very bad

Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Animal, Bean, Scooter, Skeeter, Bunsen (except Beaker) and Walter: his hair is very, very bad

Rowlf: it's just a tad bit sad, my hair is very, very bad

Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Animal, Bean, Scooter, Skeeter, Bunsen (except Beaker) and Walter: his hair is very, very bad

Rowlf: My hair is very, very bad

Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Animal, Bean, Scooter, Skeeter, Bunsen (except Beaker) and Walter: his hair is very, very bad

Rowlf: very, very bad....

[Toy Piano Music Ends]

Gonzo: "Hey don't worry about it, Rowlf, we're pretty sure your hair will be back to the way it was by tomorrow morning."

Rowlf: "Thanks, you guys, I really appreciate what you just said to me."

Kermit: "That's good, now let's all go to the dining room, I think Nanny just prepared a real good dinner meal for all of us."

Kermit and his Muppet Babies friends go right into the dining room, and they're later eating their dinner meal at the dining room table.

Later, everybody's now asleep, and Rowlf is hoping his hair will be back to the way it was by tomorrow morning.

The very next morning, the Muppet Babies gang and Nanny are now awake, and Rowlf takes off his blue baseball cap and looks at his reflection in the bathroom mirror.

Rowlf: "Hey, my hair's not so bad anymore, it's back to the way it was before."

Kermit: "Congratulations, Rowlf."

Fozzie: "Now we don't need to worry about Nanny freaking out over that bad hair cut you've had yesterday morning, afternoon and evening."

Gonzo: "And you don't even need another baseball cap."

Piggy: "I promise myself I won't give you a bad hair cut ever again."

Rowlf: "Thanks a bunch, what a relief."
