"This is bad." Said Marc. "This is really bad."
"What were they talking about with a machine?" Asked Splurge.
"Who cares?" Answered Marc.
"Look," Explained Splurge. "All we have to do is call her door down and return her home."
"You're right." Said Marc. We're just two regular joes on our way to work." Marc and Splurge then greeted the other Muppets on the scare floor.
"Top of the morning, fellas!" Said Splurge.
"What's shaken', bacon?" Said Marc.
"Did you lose weight or a limb?" Said Splurge. "You have her card key, right?"
"Of course I have her card key." Lied Marc, slyly taking someone else's card. "I told you I'd get her card key. And now I have her card key." He swiped the card into the scanner and down came a brown door with black pointy hinges.
"Marc, that's not her door." Protested Splurge. "Her door was white and had flowers on it."
"It must've been dark last night because this is her door." Marc opened the door, and yodeling could be heard. "Hear that? It sounds fun in there!" He tried to persuade Boo into the door, but Splurge closed the door.
"Marc, this isn't Boo's door." Said Splurge.
"Boo? What's Boo?" Asked Marc.
"That's what I decided to call her." Said Splurge.
"Splurge, you're not supposed to name it." Said Marc. "Once you name it, you start getting attached to it! Now put that thing back where it came from, or so help me..." This caught the attention of the other Muppets.
"Oh, hey!" Said Marc. "We're rehearsing a scene for the upcoming play called 'Put That Thing Back Where It Came Or So Help Me'. It's a musical."
Marc: Put that thing back where
It came from or so help me
Get that thing away from me, you guys!
Put that thing back where it came from
Or I'll poke myself in the eye!
"It's a work in progress." Said Marc. "It's gonna get better. Splurge, I've had enough. Now say good-bye to..." He noticed Boo was gone. "Where did it go? She got away from you again?! Well, that is just... Wait a minute. The sun is coming up. This is perfect! She's gone!" Splurge went off to find Boo again, but Marc was holding onto his leg.
"Splurge, please don't blow this." Pleaded Marc. "Not when we're so close to breaking the record. She's out of our hair!" Suddenly, Splurge bumped into Lenny.
"What are you too doing?" Asked Lenny.
"They're rehearsing a play." Said a dog with glasses.
"She's out of our hair..." Sang Marc, but Lenny wasn't falling for it.
"Can it, Fazakas!" Said Lenny. "What do you think of that kid getting out, Splurgenson? Pretty crazy, huh?"
"Quite crazy." Answered Splurge.
"Word on the street is the kid's been traced back to the factory. You haven't seen anything, have you?" While Lenny was talking, Splurge saw Boo in the hallway running down a different hall. Once again, Splurge stuttered.
"No, no way!" Said Marc, saving Splurge's skin. "But if I were to put my money on someone, it would be Thingy-Thing. You know, that yellow guy with the snail-like eyes?" With Lenny distracted, Splurge got a chance to find Boo, again. However, Marc heard a familiar voice.
"Marcus Fazakas!" Said Miss Piggy, wearing a dog cone. "Last night was one of the worst nights of my entire night, bar none! I thought you cared about me."
"Honey, I thought you liked meatballs." Said Marc.
"Meatballs?!" Screamed Piggy. "You think this was about meatballs?!"
"Yes." Muttered Marc.
"Well, meatball this! Hi-ya!" He karate chopped him silly. After he got up, Marc ran off to find Splurge. While the feud was happening between Marc and Piggy, Lenny noticed a familiar face on the paper: Marc Fazakas! So he ran off to find him.
Author's Notes: The dog with glasses is Baskerville the Hound. He first appeared in Purina Dog Chow commercials in the early 60s with Rowlf the Dog, and would later appear on The Muppet Show.
