"Life's like a movie; write
your own endings.
Keep believing, keep
pretending…"
-
Jim Henson
Author's Note: The Muppet show ran for 5 seasons from 1976
to 1981 and was shown in more than 100 countries. Guest appearances included Christopher Reeve, Gene Kelly, Dizzy
Gillespie, Lynn Redgrave, John Cleese, Alice Cooper, Julie Andrews, Rudolf
Nureyev, Diana Ross, and Steve Martin to just name a few of the varied stars
that visited.
Which leads us to this bit of
whimsy, a magical, silly what if… Just
suppose it had been on in 1971 and two certain actors in a new hit western got
a chance to visit?
Suspend belief, disconnect common
sense and just imagine…
"Kermit! KERMIT!" Fozzie races backstage clearly distraught. Not that Fozzie isn't always distraught, but
at times even he out does his sense of panic.
"Fozzie
calm down what is it?" Kermit says more exasperated than worried. You can't lead the Muppets and put on a show
each week without gaining a little perspective.
"Outlaws! They just rode up! They're after the payroll!
We gotta hide!"
"Fozzie
we don't have any payroll, well none worth robbing are you sure it was
outlaws?"
"Of
course I'm sure!"
Seemingly
Peter Duel aka Hannibal Heyes and Ben Murphy aka Kid Curry come up behind
Fozzie in costume from their series right down to the hard wear. Heyes pushes back his hat and listens with
Kid.
"Were
they about this tall?" Kermit says pulling out two wanted posters and then
looking directly at the two men and indicating the height of the two men. "With six guns and chaps and
bandannas…" 'Murphy' and 'Duel'
check out each other nodding in agreement.
This does sound like outlaws.
"Yes! Yes!
That was them!"
"They
have horses?" Kid asks trying to
help.
Fozzie
looks at him, doesn't register they are the men he just saw ride up, "I
think so."
"Sound
wanted to me," 'Peter' says nodding.
"What else does that wanted poster say?" He and 'Ben' lean over Kermit's shoulder
reading.
"Wanted
Dead or Alive…" Kermit reads.
"Were
they alive?" Kid asks sincerely.
Fozzie
thinks, "Yea, I'm pretty sure."
Leans over and begins reading wanted posters himself. "Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry…"
starts reading descriptions to himself as he mentions certain words aloud he
looks up at the two men. '…dark
hair…brown eyes,…….blond hair…blue eyes…"
Both
men smile.
Fozzie
puts down wanted posters smiles turns and suddenly gets it.
"KERMIT
IT'S THEM!"
"Fozzie
those aren't outlaws! There are guest
stars tonight Mr. Peter Duel and Mr. Ben Murphy."
"Kermit
that is Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry."
"Fozzie
they're just actors that play outlaws," Kermit says putting a friendly arm
around the two men who smile innocently….way too innocently. "Now don't worry! Oh I gotta open the show!" Kermit races off excited, Fozzie back off
suspicious.
'Duel'
and 'Murphy' stand there, 'Duel' waves friendly as Fozzie looks back.
"Imagine
thinking were outlaws," Heyes says amused.
"Completely
ridiculous," Kid agrees.
"Got
the dynamite?" Heyes says.
Kid
grins and holds it up, "Got the floor plan of the bank next door?"
Heyes
holds it up. They both grin at each
other and then the camera and then walk off.
"Funny
us looking like those two actor fellas," Heyes says cheerfully. "You think they can get out of that
closet we locked them in?"
"Shouldn't
be a problem," Kid says back just as cheerfully. "At least in an hour
or two!"
****************************
Kermit runs on stage waving
his arms, "It's the Muppet Show
with our Very Special Guest Stars Mr. Peter Duel and Mr. Ben Murphy!"
MUSIC COMES UP…
Females: It's time to play the music It's time to
light the lights It's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight.
Males: It's time to put on makeup It's time to dress
up right It's time to raise the curtain on the Muppet Show tonight.
Waldorf: Why do we always come here
Statler: I guess we'll never know
Waldorf: It's like a kind of torture
Both: To have to watch the show
Muppets: And now let's get things started
Audience: Why don't you get things started
Kermit: It's time to get things started Muppets: on
the most sensational inspirational celebrational Muppetational this is what we
call the Muppet Show!
(Gonzo blows his trumpet)
************************
Fozzie
comes on catches Kermit as first act goes out.
"Kermit
are you sure this is such a good idea?"
"Fozzie
Mr. Duel and Mr. Murphy are very fine actors.
This is a coup having them on the show."
Heyes
and Kid go by for their number, Heyes catches Kermit's arm.
"Oh
Kermit were expecting some associates of our could you look after them when
they arrive if were on stage?"
"Associates?" Kermit asks.
"Just
the Devils' Hole Gang," Kid says cheerfully and they exit.
Kermit
looks worried for the first time.
"The
Devil's Hole Gang?"
Fozzie
gives him a look. "Coup or
Coocoo?"

Curtain closes.
****************************
Kermit is checking clipboard when Wheat (Earl Holliman) and Kyle
(Dennis Fimple) enter.
"Hey frog."
Kermit turns and stares into the
barrel of Wheat's gun.
"Ah yes?" he says in a
polite but shaky voice.
"Were the Devil's Hole Gang,
well the most important part, rest is out back."
"Ah yes sir Mr. Heyes, I mean
Mr. Duel…I mean…we have a rule around here about shooting frogs."
"A talking frog, Wheat you ever
seen anything like it?" Kyle says impressed.
"Kyle, Wheat stop scaring
Kermit," Heyes says coming off stage.
"Ah I'd better introduce the
next act!" Kermit says hurrying off.
"Heyes how come were talking to
frogs?"
"Because the bank is next door
to his theater," Heyes explains.
"He thinks were a couple of
actors," Kid says.
"You two? Actors?" Wheat
makes a rude noise.
"Yea well let's just let him go
on thinking that until you and the boys finish digging the hole from our
dressing room into the safe," Heyes says pushing them up the stairs.
Several cows dressed as cowboys go
by and say excuse me.
"This place is like a dream
after a bottle of bad whiskey," Wheat says disgusted.

AS KID SHOOTS,
MISS PIGGY COMES UP BEHIND HIM AND STARTS TO SING…
'THE BADDER-BUT-WANTED GUY'
(From Music Man - Meredith
Wilson aka the Sadder but Wiser Girl for me)
MISS PIGGY
No proper, wholesome non
lethal milk toast proclaimer of love for me
That kinda boy puts me to
bed…to sleep...
Listen girls...
A boy flashing all that
purity
Don't make me feel as safe
as gun on bedpost security!
I want a man with lust to
rile
Who carries me off and
demands in style!
I swoon; I twirl for the
fella who takes down my curls
I pounce; I slip for the
fella who can bodice rip
I melt; I please, for the
outlaw who won't let me tease
The badder, but wanted guy
for me!
No boring, correct boy who
kisses on the cheek, no ma'am!
I want a man who hunts and
peeks!
Who carries off and makes
knees weak
And like a safe knows just
how to tweak…
I snarl, I hiss, if the
hands roping me aren't gloved and his
I spark, I fizz, for the outlaw who knows where each barn is
I cheer, I rave, for the
virtue he don't want to save
The badder but wanted guy
for me
No shy and quiet pillar of
society, no thanks!
who sets me on a pedestal of
piety instead of eyeing me up like a
bank!
Me, I need, the outlaw hot
with lustful deeds,
Whose hands betray this
seductions gonna last all day
Who grabs assured… and pulls
me in
Like a poker pot he had to
win!
Keep your Byrons with
trembling lips
I prefer a man that can
shoot from the hip!
The badder but wanted guy
for me.
No inexperienced, just hand
holder
I want a man who throws over
the shoulder!
Sweaty fumbling hands I have
no trouble resisting
I prefer the outlaw who's
grins insisting
No wide-eyed, sanctimonious
collector of women, No Sir!
Why, he's mounting me as a
trophy, with an outlaw I could be
snuggling closely…
I flinch, I shy when the boy
with the delicate air goes by
I smile, I grin when the man
with a touch of sin walks in
I hope, I pray for Kid or
Heyes to come this way
The badder but wanted guy's
the guy for me
The badder but wanted guy
for me!
KID TWIRLS GUN BACK INTO
HOLSTER, MISS PIGGY POUNCES.
THEY GO DOWN IN A HEAP AS
CURTAIN CLOSES.

Kermit yelling off stage, "And tell Gonzo not to get
the dynamite wet!"
Sighs heavily and sits down exhausted. Heyes comes up behind him.
"Not easy being leader of the gang is it?"
Kermit shakes his head no.
MUSICAL NUMBER
(IT'S NOT EASY BEING LEADER AKA IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN! - Joe
Rappos)
HEYES…
It's not that
easy being leader;
Having to
spend each day keeping others out of trouble
When I think
of safes dropped off of cliffs and banks blown up to rubble
I wonder about
that.
KERMIT…
It's not easy
being leader.
It seems you
have to do so many things at once.
And people
tend to blame and yell and holler until you would rather not have bothered
And wish you
were just like them
HEYES
But leader's
make things run
And leader's
make sure everything gets done
KERMIT
And leaders
can make a difference and be great
And Leaders
know how to keep going or to wait...
HEYES AND
KERMIT TOGETHER
When leader is
all there is to be It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?
Wonder, I am
leader and it'll do fine, it's beautiful!
And I think
it's what I want to be.
BOTH SMILE AND
SHAKE HANDS, THEY UNDERSTAND EACH OTHERr as Kyle and Lobo start to come down the
stairs arguing. Heyes fires his gun in
the air.
"Get back to work!"
They two run back in and slam the door shut.
"Mr. Heyes the Devil's Hole Gang seems to listen to
you a lot better than my bunch does, do you think you could give me some
pointers?" Kermit asks.
Heyes smiles, "Kermit it would be my pleasure!"

SETTING:
Fozzie, Kermit, Kid and Heyes are trying to rob a train, but it's not going
very well through the whole song. For one thing the train doesn't appear to be
stopping as Gonzo is driving it and Rizzo is having too much fun with the
whistle.
The 4 train robbers proceed
to sing this together as they attempt to dynamite the track and stop the train
before it hits them on the track...which is a real problem towards the end
cause Fozze gets his foot caught.
(YOU GOT A FRIEND IN ME - RANDY NEWMAN…WITH A FEW CHANGES!)
KERMIT AND HEYES:
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Kid, you've got a friend in me
KID AND FOZZIE:
(Kid gingerly takes dynamite away from Fozzie with a smile.Kermit &
Heyes look relieved)
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got troubles then
I've
got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together we can see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
(Yes you do)
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
FOZZIE
Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
KERMIT
Bigger and strong too
Maybe
KID
But none of them will ever put with you
The way I do
HEYES
Just me and you, partner
(REALIZES WHAT HE SAID AND GIVES HIM A LOOK, WHICH KID IGNORES)
HEYES, KID, KERMIT AND FOZZIE
And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see
It's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
Yeah!
Train is about to hit them, Kid fast
draws shoots cardboard train cut out that falls over leaving Gonzo sitting on a
stool looking blank and Rizzo yelling help a train fell on me.
Kid twirls gun back and he and Heyes walk off.
Kermit is impressed and walks off nodding, like that's how you end a western
and Fozzie is frozen in awe.
Rizzo climbing out from under train.
"He killed our train! Can he do
that? Better yet will he let me do that? Mr. Curry? Yo Mr. Curry!"
Rizzo runs off curtain drops.
Robin stands there amazed, "WOW!"

ROBIN, (KERMIT'S LITTLE NEPHEW) IS DRESSED LIKE A COWBOY AND SITTING ON
A FENCE OF A CORRAL OUTSIDE A BUNK HOUSE.
HE BEGINS TO SING…
(MY HEROES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN COWBOYS- REDONE FOR OUTLAWS - ORIGINAL BY
ED BRUCE)
I grew up
a-dreamin' of bein' an outlaw
Lovin' the outlaw ways.
Pursuin' the life of my high-ridin' heroes,
I burned up my childhood days.
I learned all the rules of the six gun
Don't you wait
for the posse too long.
Just take what you need from the trains, then leave them,
With the words of a sad country song.
My heroes have always been outlaws.
And they still are, it seems.
Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of,
Themselves and their fast-movin' schemes.
Outlaws are
special with their own brand of misery,
From being alone too long.
You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare,
Knowin' well your best days are gone.
Pickin' up a bounty instead
of my pen,
I let the words of my years fade away.
Old worn-out saddles, an 'old worn-out memories,
With no one and no place to stay.
My heroes have always been outlaws.
And they still are, it seems.
Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of,
Themselves and their fast-movin' schemes.
ROBIN EXITS AND LIGHTS COME
UP TO REALIZE KID AND HEYES HAVE BEEN LISTENING.
(SONG 'MAMA DON'T LET YOUR
BABIES GROW UP TO COWBOYS, CHANGED FOR OUTLAWS - Willie Nelson)
HEYES…
Mama don't let
your babies grow up to be outlaws
Don't let 'em
pick safes and with posses try their luck
Make 'em be
doctors and lawyers and such
Mama don't let
your babies grow up to be outlaws
They'll never
stay home and they're always alone
Even with
someone they love
KID
Outlaws ain't
easy to love and they're harder to hold
Always casing
a bank and taking the diamonds or gold
Tied down
peacemakerss and old faded Levi's each night begins a new day
And if you
don't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probably
just ride away
KID AND HEYES
TOGETHER
Mama don't let

Don't let 'em

Make 'em be

Mama don't let
your babies grow up to be outlaws
They'll never
stay home and they're always alone
Even with

HEYES
Outlaws like
smoky saloons and clear mountain morning's
Sleepy
sheriff's and greenhorn poker games lasting all night
And them that
don't know him won't like him
KID
And them that
do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong
he's just different but his pride won't let him do things to make you think
he's right
KID AND HEYES
TOGETHER
Mama don't let
your babies grow up to be outlaws
Don't let 'em

SONG ENDS, KID AND HEYES EXIT.
KERMIT LOOKS AT THEM, HE'S FIGURED IT OUT.
"If you don't mind my saying so Mr. Curry, Mr.
Heyes? I don't think you are cut out to be outlaws."
"Well we did have this little old lady tell us about
this amnesty offer…" Kid says thoughtfully.
"Were just not sure it would work," Heyes
explains.
"Well we'd be happy to put a good word in with the
Governor for you," Kermit says.
Kid and Heyes look at each other.
"Might work, he might listen to a frog," Heyes
says thoughtfully.
"Send the pig, he'll listen," Kid says with
great conviction
"We'll think about it," Heyes smiles, "And
don't worry about the bank we'll call the boys off."
They leave.
Kermit frowns, "Bank?"
Fozzie comes on holding a shotgun on Pete Duel and Ben
Murphy in street clothes.
"I got them Kermit!
They were fixin to rob the bank!"
Kermit looks at him, "Fixin?"
"Ah sorry were late it was the strangest
thing…." Thinks about it and decides he really doesn't want to try and
explain. "Ah, I'm Pete Duel this
is Ben Murphy," Peter says slightly confused.
"Your bear told us to stand and deliver," Ben
says giving Fozzie an annoyed look.
"Kermit what is going on?" Fozzie asks.
"It's a long story, but it doesn't matter you're
just in time for the finale!" Kermit says happily.

"Cue the sunset! Cue the sunset!" Kermit bellows, always the optimist.
Beeker runs out sunburnt and screaming as Professor
Honeydew yells for him to come back while muttering about nuclear explosions
sort of looking like sunsets.
Kermit sighs, "Well
there went our big finale."
Ben and Peter look at each
other as suddenly from off stage someone throws Gonzo a lighted bunch of
dynamite. Gonzo stands there grinning
until Kermit sees it and grabs it from him and throws it to Fozzie who tosses
it to Ben who throws it to Peter who heaves it over his shoulder.
"Hit the deck!" Peter orders.
Everyone dives down and as
the smoke clears slowly gets up to see a beautiful real Wyoming sunset behind
them now that the wall is gone.
Only Kermit sees Kid and Heyes wave and ride off,
there work here now done.
"That must have been some
fake dynamite," Peter says a little shell shocked.
Ben merely grins back,
"I guess it wasn't wet!".
Kermit meanwhile is
overjoyed, "WE'RE SAVED!!! CUE THE MUSIC!"
ALL THE MUPPETS GATHER AROUND PETER, BEN AND THE OTHER ACTORS FROM THE GANG.
EVERYONE BEGINS TO SING...

**************************
Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry are
sitting around a campfire in the middle of nowhere drinking coffee. It is late at night and they have been
talking for some time.
"All right we'll go see Lom in
the morning and find out about this amnesty," Heyes says decision made.
"I sure hope were doing the
right thing Heyes."
They roll over and go to sleep.
There is a stirring in one of the
saddle bags and Rizzo peeks his head out.
"Aw come on guys one more job,
I know this cheese factory…guys?
Guys?"
They are either asleep or ignoring
him.
Rizzo sighs then brightens.
"Hey with you guys leaving the
gangs gonna need a new leader! I can
see it now Rizzo the Rat and the Swiss Cheese Hole Gang!"
Pulls out his water pistol and goes
off firing.
"Puuu Puuuuu!"
Life's like a
movie write your own ending, keep believing, keep pretending…
We've done
just what we set out to do!
Thanks to the
lovers, the dreamers…and you!
