Scene 1: The go-kart race track (imaginary universe)/The nursery house
Bean: (speaking through his megaphone) "Attention, go-kart racing fans, the go-kart race is about to begin, on your marks, get ready, get set, go!"

Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Rowlf, Scooter, Skeeter, Janice, Bunsen, Beaker and Walter race around in their go-karts while Animal cheers them on with 2 little go-kart race flags.

Animal: "Go-karts, go-karts, wawawawawawa."

The 11 Muppet Babies friends continue racing around, 'til their imaginary universe disappears back to the nursery house scenery.

Nanny: (off screen) "Oh dear heavens, not again."

Scooter: "I didn't do anything wrong, honest."

Nanny: "No, Scooter, it's just that this tulip house plant has just passed away, and I just can't seem to find a replacement for it."

Walter: "Gosh, Nanny, we're terribly sorry about it."

Animal: "Sorry, Nanny."

Nanny puts the deceased house plant outside on the backyard deck.

Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Animal, Rowlf, Scooter, Skeeter, Walter, Bean, Bunsen and Beaker go right back to the nursery house living room.

Kermit: "So do any of you guys know why Nanny's terribly upset this morning?"

Scooter: "Maybe she just heard some terrible news on television."

Skeeter: "Or maybe she lost something very important."

Fozzie: "Or maybe an earthquake just happened."

Gonzo: "Or maybe space monsters were attacking the entire universe."

Kermit: "Very close, you guys, but the real reason why Nanny's terribly upset is 'cause her tulip house plant passed away, and we need to help her find a replacement for it."

Rowlf: "Hey, that sounds like a wonderful idea."

Piggy: "Oh, yippy skippy!"

Bunsen: "How very exciting."

Beaker: "Mee, mee, mee, mee."

Kermit: "Come on, everybody, we've gotta find Nanny a new house plant."

Animal: "House plant, house plant, wawawawawawa."

The 13 Muppet Babies friends go off on another imaginary journey quest to find Nanny a new tulip house plant.

Imaginary Universe: The house plant fields
Kermit: "Alright, you guys, this is the perfect place to find Nanny a new house plant."

All Muppet Babies friends: "Wow, ooh, wow!"

Janice: "Wow, this place is like, pretty wild."

Fozzie: "Yeah, that's right, it even reminds me of a real good joke."

Fozzie: "Say, why did the duck cross the road?"

Brief pause......

Fozzie: "Because the chicken took a vacation, get it? chicken? vacation?"

Fozzie: [Giggling Sounds]

Piggy: "Oh brother."

Rowlf: "Come on, you guys, let's keep looking for the most perfect house plant."

The 13 Muppet Babies friends continue their search for a new house plant, 'til their new good friends, Thog, Doglion, Beauregard, Sweetums, Li'l Tooth, Floyd, Zoot, Lips, Li'l Chef, Rizzo, Sam and Link Hogthrob show up to help them out.

Li'l Chef: "Hey, vhet ere-a yuoo gooys dueeng here-a?"

Kermit: "We're looking for a new house plant to replace Nanny's deceased tulip."

Fozzie: "Maybe you guys can help all of us out here."

Rizzo: "Dat sounds like a thrillin' idea, we'll come along wid all of you guys."

Sweetums: "I'm coming along with you guys."

The 13 Muppet Babies friends and the other Muppet Babies friends begin their search.

Scooter: "Wow, look at that 1!"

Skeeter: "Whoa, that's the most beautiful house plant I've seen in my entire life."

Gonzo: "Almost as if it can fit in a wagon."

Kermit: "Well, we've gotta keep looking."

Gonzo: "Gosh, there's lots of plants around here."

Scooter: "And there's a giant sunflower approaching."

Skeeter: "Oh my gosh, you're absolutely right, Scooter, that is a giant sunflower approaching."

Bunsen: "Come on, you guys, let's go right under it."

They all go right under the giant sunflower and finally find what they're looking for.
