DVD Opening of Kermit’s Swamp Years/Transcript

## Transcript

* **Isabella:** Phineas? I knew you were right. Maybe I should have been a better friend in the first place. (Realizes that Phineas is still not here, and sighs) Who am I kidding? How am I supposed to tell him? What am I going to do? I guess I never should’ve said bad things about… You know what? Just forget it. Wario’s never gonna change. He’s just going to remain the jerk who tricks us into falling for his actions. Oh wait. I should be going over this. (She remembers a flashback from the DVD opening of G-Force) Oh, Phineas. If only you knew how much I missed you. (To herself) But… (sniffles) I… I guess he’s never coming back. (Crying)
* (someone knocks at the door. Isabella stops crying and notices)
* **Isabella:** Phineas? (She opens the door. It’s SpongeBob, Lightning, Mike, Sally, and Kermit. She feels sad) Oh, hi, guys.
* **Sally:** (worried upon seeing Isabella sad) Oh, my.
* **SpongeBob:** (concerned) Isabella?
* **Lightning:** Hey. What’s wrong?
* **Mike:** Yeah, and why are you so sad?
* **Isabella:** (tearfully) Oh, guys. This is all my fault. I just feel like I’m a terrible friend to Phineas, and now he won’t forgive me.
* **Sally:** Terrible friend? Come on, Isabella. You know that’s not true.
* **Isabella:** But what if it could be?
* **Kermit:** Are you all right?
* **Isabella:** No, I’m not. (Sobs) These DVD openings can’t be the same without him. If Phineas were gone, I’d never forgive myself. (She breaks down crying. Her friends feel sympathetic)
* **Lightning:** Isabella, look. We know how upset you feel about Phineas, and we’re sorry that happened to you, but sometimes you can still do DVD openings even without him.
* **Isabella:** (still in tears) But how? Phineas and I have been friends for years. And some might even say a couple.
* **Mike:** You know, Lightning’s right, kid. Remember, in the Fraggle Rock: Animated Series DVD opening, you said you could do some DVD openings even without Phineas? Maybe you could try that.
* **SpongeBob:** Yeah. So you see? You can do it with *us*, even if Phineas isn’t here.
* **Kermit:** Exactly. You did the DVD opening for Twister too, and besides it’s you who makes these DVD openings special. You’re the shining star who doesn’t give up.
* **Lightning:** Yeah, and besides if it wasn’t for Phineas, you could’ve still had your hiccups. It’s a good thing you didn’t for long. It wouldn’t hurt to wait until he comes back. (Isabella stops crying and calms down)
* **Sally:** So, what do you say?
* **Isabella:** (takes a deep breath) You’re right. I can do this. (Hugs her friends) Thanks guys. I guess it really does help to show that taking a little break from Phineas could work even until he comes back. You know what they said before? The show must go on.
* (her friends are in relief to hear her say such empowered words)
* **Lightning:** Way to go, kid!
* **SpongeBob:** All right!
* **Mike:** Now that’s the Isabella we know!
* **Sally:** So, what do we do first?
* **Isabella:** Great question. Come on, everybody! Let’s go and I’ll show you. Follow me. (Her friends follow her)
* **Isabella:** OK, so I haven’t been with Phineas in the DVD openings of Toy Story 3, WALL-E, and The Incredibles. But this time that’ll be different now that I have Lightning, Mike, Sally, SpongeBob, and Kermit with me. And even though a certain little thing just happened in the DVD opening of G-Force, we should just forget about it and move on. Maybe Phineas will be back soon. So, let’s be patient. With that being said and with that out of the way, hey, everyone, this is Isabella Garcia-Shapiro here!
* **Lightning:** Hey, everyone, this is Lightning McQueen.
* **Mike:** What’s up, you peoples? Oh, that was bad. (Clears throat) Anyway it’s Mike Wazowski back once again.
* **SpongeBob:** Hello. This is SpongeBob. And it’s been quite awhile since I did DVD openings.
* **Sally:** This is Sally. And even I haven’t been in DVD openings for awhile. But now I’m back.
* **Kermit:** And this is Kermit the Frog here! Hi ho, how do ya do?
* **Isabella:** And for today’s DVD opening, we are going to…
* **Wario:** And guess who’s back! Does anyone have a dime? I wanna dime! I wanna dime! I wanna…
* **Mike:** Will you shut up?!
* **Lightning:** Yeah you better scoot over, bub!
* **Wario:** I just want to borrow a dime.
* **SpongeBob:** Trust me. You wouldn’t wanna mess with me. It could get ugly when even nice guys can have limits.
* **Wario:** Hey, bro!
* **Isabella:** Ah, ah, ah. (Clears throat) Well, sorry for that interruption. Anyway this is Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, and of course, Lightning, Mike, SpongeBob, Sally, Kermit, and, sadly, Wario are here.
* **Wario:** Hey, bro!
* **Isabella:** Just in case you didn’t notice, you and Waluigi are just partners, and besides Waluigi isn’t even watching this. But today we’re going to do the DVD opening of Jim Henson’s Kermit’s Swamp Years. And, yeah, we got this on DVD 10 years ago at FYE, long before it closed down, which would eventually force us to have to buy movies on DVD online.
* **Wario:** Oh, my gosh! Why is there an intellectually disabled bullfrog?
* **Isabella:** Please don’t.
* **Wario:** And why is there a toad with glasses on the cover?!
* **Toad:** (offscreen) I heard that! You better not be talking about me!
* **Isabella:** Uh, sorry.
* **Toad:** (offscreen) No, not you! Wario!
* **Isabella:** Oh. And, Wario, I don’t really care.
* **Lightning:** Yeah, that’s Blotch and Goggles, and those two are part of the movie, you idiot.
* **Isabella:** Well, anyways,
* **Wario:** Now, let’s see if they got any previews. (Sees "trailers" on the menu) Well, what do you know! OK, so we have Kermit’s Swamp Years, even though it’s not supposed to have a trailer if it’s on the same DVD… (Isabella joins in) Stuart Little 2, Stuart Little, The Muppets Take Manhattan, Muppets from Space, Madeline (which the live action one is **not as good as the animated one!**), and Matilda.
* **Isabella:** Wait a sec… Oh, my gosh! A live action Madeline? Are you serious? Wow! I… I thought the animated movie, Madeline: Lost in Paris, was the only Madeline feature film ever made. I totally forgot they made another!
* **Lightning:** You know, most live action films that are based on cartoons and books are pretty good. I guess the live action *Madeline* kinda counts?
* **Isabella:** Yeah. (Sees the Kermit’s Swamp Years trailer) Wait a minute, I think I know this trailer. OK, Jim Henson Home Entertainment.
* **Kermit:** Wait, I was never a tadpole. I was just a young frog!
* **Isabella:** Yeah.
* **Mike:** Oh, I bet we never knew *this* Kermit before.
* **Lightning:** Wait, did they just use an actual dog?
* **Isabella:** Looks like it.
* **Young Kermit: (on TV)** Warts and all!
* **Isabella:** OK.
* **Narrator:** Available only on VHS and DVD summer 2002.
* **Isabella:** Which it’s already available, because it’s been twenty years since the movie’s release, and we still have this DVD even after an entire decade.
* **Wario:** OK, next preview.
* **Isabella:** They could have at least used a play all feature on this. Wow, they don’t usually use this kind of rating screen on a Sony DVD or VHS. But I kinda like it this way.
* **Stuart:** (on TV) WATCH OUT! (**SpongeBob:** Oh, look, it’s Stuart Little!)
* **Lightning:** (sees Stuart on the plane accidentally tearing up the roses) Oh, now he does it.
* **Isabella:** (reading) Coming summer 1998.
* **Wario:** I doubt we’ll ever get this movie because it’s not the best live action adaptation…
* **Isabella:** OK, OK, that’s enough. I get it. So help me, I don’t care what you think. I heard critics actually liked it, as proven by a Rotten Tomatoes review about it. After all, not all live action adaptations are bad. Except for the Last Airbender. Boy, that movie was terrible. What was M. Night Shamalyan thinking? Note to self: don’t hire a horror movie director to direct a live action movie based on a kids’ cartoon. Still, you can’t talk trash about the movie every time. All right, let’s do the last one.
* **Isabella:** Gosh, I hate Mrs. Trunchbull. She’s so cruel. I wouldn’t have her as a principal if I were at school.
* **Kermit:** Yeah she’s the worst.
* (Isabella hums to the tune of Together Again after the trailer of The Muppets Take Manhattan)
