Lee	In March, Miss Piggy had stars in her eyes at Tiffany’s…
Piggy	Oooh!
	[ cut to: Kermit ]
Kermit	No comment!
	[ Piggy watches a fashion show on TV. ]
Lee	In April, she shopped for a Halston trousseau… by television.
Piggy	That’s a nice dress. I could use that for my pre-nuptials.
	[ cut to: Kermit ]
Kermit	No comment! Aaah!
	[ Piggy talks on the telephone. ]
Lee	In May, she planned a honeymoon… through travel agent.
Piggy	Moi is looking for a vacationne…
Lee	All the while, Kermit refused to confirm that he’s the lucky frog.
	[ cut to: Kermit, a microphone stuck in his face ]
Kermit	Well, uh, no comment!
	[ Piggy meets with a fashion designer. ]
Lee	In June, she met with designer Ron Lavice.
Piggy	Moi am ready to peruse the wedding apparel.
	[ Piggy looks over a model, wearing a wedding gown. ]
Piggy	It is in a smaller size for moi, isn’t it?
Ron	Well, we would do a custom fitting for you, so it would fit perfectly…
Piggy	Yes. I have a daintier figure. Nothing personal, Diane.
	[ Piggy looks at a wedding cake. ]
Caterer	There is something we would be happy to do for you, and let me show it to you.
Piggy	What’s that?
	[ The caterer shows Piggy a wedding cake topper with a frog and a pig. ]
Caterer	This would just be for you on your wedding, from the Plaza.
Piggy	Ooooh! Now you are talking.
	[ Cut to: Kermit and Piggy, interviewed together. ]
Lee	When Entertainment Tonight last spoke with both stars, we learned about their wedding scene in the new movie The Muppets Take Manhattan. But Miss Piggy confused the issue by claiming it was a real wedding. So we asked them back to clear it up, once and for all.
Piggy	Kermie knows that we were married in The Muppets Take Manhattan.
Kermit	You’re still saying that! You’re not supposed to be talking like that.
Piggy	Why?
Kermit	How many times have I told you? It’s just a wedding in a movie. I’m — I’m tired of the news press just asking questions like that. And I wish you wouldn’t keep harping on this, Lee.
Piggy	The simple fact is… that Kermie and moi were married by a real minister in the movie, The Muppets Take Manhattan.
Kermit	PIGGY! How many times have I told you! Can you — can you just take your cameras out of here. I’m not talking anymore in this kind of thing. I’m sorry. I’m gonna have to just leave. [ Kermit exits. ]
Piggy	Lee? You should feel very proud. You — and the world — have just experienced our first marriage tiff.
Kermit	[ offscreen ] WHAT?
Piggy	I’ll be home soon, dear! He’s cooking.
