03:12Hi, me! Can you tell the difference between a train track and a T-set?
03:18Um, yeah.
03:19Well, you can't boost, Kent! Try to be more careful!
03:23Okay?
03:24Yeah!
03:25Would you please?
03:27But I didn't urge!
03:29Thanks a lot, Gonzo.
03:30Hiro!
03:31Hiro!
03:32He-he-he! Come on, you guys! I think Kermit wants to be alone!

03:48Beep-beep!
03:49Fire!
03:55Huh? What are you guys doing out here?
03:58Just offering you the chance to have the fastest, most powerful dump truck in the world!
04:04Whoa! Hop in!
04:06Ha! I thought you'd be interested!
04:09Here we are!
04:10Um, are you sure you won't mess up my truck?
04:15Us? No way! Just pull into Big Daddy Gonzo's speed shop!
04:19A speed shop? Gonzo, this is the closet!
04:23Uh-uh!
04:24Hans! Inisu!
04:26Roblo!
04:33Okay, buddy! Now relax!
04:36Strip it!
04:37Strip it, but...
04:43Ta-da!
04:44Oh, no!
04:46Oh, look, I know what you're thinking, but you're wrong.
04:49This is gonna be great!
04:54Now what?
04:56Here's the plans, animal.
04:58Okie-dokie.
05:01Now the fun begins.
05:05They know what they're doing.
05:07Sure, they're following my plans.
05:10Tell you what, why don't you wait in the waiting room?
05:12I'm sure you'll be a lot more comfortable in there.
05:15But...
05:16We'll call you when it's ready.
05:18Here, read a comic book.
05:20Oh, brother.
05:25She's ready. You wanna take a look?
05:27Sure.
05:29Ta-da!
05:30That's my truck?
05:31Uh-huh. Come on, hop in. Let's go for a test ride.
05:35Whoa!
05:38That's a way!
05:40Stop!
05:45Stop!
05:48Stop!
05:48Stop!
05:53What a motor!
05:54What a monster!
05:56What a mess!
05:58Huh?
06:02Oh, great.
06:04Sorry, Rolf.
06:05Uh, listen, Gonzo.
06:07Do you think you could take it a little easier?
06:10And clean up all this racing junk?
06:12But...
06:12And be a little more careful.
06:14You could get hurt.
06:16Oh, me?
06:17Ha!
06:17No way!
06:19I...
06:19Where's going, Gonzo?
06:21But Rolf, I...
06:22Oh, gee.
06:24They just don't understand speed, that's all.
06:28Hey!
06:29That's it!
06:30What?
06:31If we build the fastest, most powerful car in the world out of this junk, they'll have to understand.
06:38They'll...
06:38They'll even be proud of me!
06:42Hmm...
06:42Let's see, uh...
06:43Uh, we'll need trike wheels in the back, and, uh, skateboard wheels in the front.
06:48We need to learn their food up, but they're ready to learn about them.
06:52Yee-yee!
06:54Well, she's almost done, guys.
06:57Hee-hee!
06:57Soon I'll be the fastest weirdo on the planet!
07:01Ooh!
07:02Whoa!
07:03Whoa!
07:04Ooh!
07:05Someone's coming!
07:07Quick!
07:07Cover this up!
07:11Shhh!
07:14Yeah?
07:16Oh, Zo!
07:17It's me!
07:17Hey!
07:18Open up!
07:18We'll just...
07:22Okay, okay.
07:24Um...
07:25You haven't seen the back wheels to the tricycle, have you?
07:28Ooh, what?
07:29Ha-ha!
07:30Trike wheels?
07:31Nah.
07:32I haven't seen any.
07:33Have you, Animal?
07:35Uh-huh.
07:37Um...
07:37Uh-uh.
07:38What?
07:39Ha-ha!
07:40Kids, they're so silly!
07:42They don't know what they've seen!
07:44Well, you'll stop by again soon, okay?
07:45We love seeing new faces in here!
07:48Bye-bye!
07:48But, Gunzel!
07:50I...
07:50Uh...
07:51I've been on in sports and...
07:53Uh...
07:54Couldn't even pedal this thing!
07:56We gotta hurry now, Animal!
07:58Before they notice all the stuff we borrowed!
08:00Huh?
08:01Uh-oh!
08:02Uh-oh!
08:03Uh-oh!
08:04Has anyone seen the steering wheel to the fire truck?
08:08Would you care for some tea, my sweet little dolly?
08:11Aaaaaah!
08:13Who took my dolly's hair?
08:16Aaaaaah!
08:16Mama!
08:18Whoa!
08:20Animal!
08:20Are you sure this is the closest thing you could find to a helmet?
08:24Uh-huh!
08:25Huh?
08:25Sorry, Camilla!
08:27Ooh!
08:28Cute chicken!
08:30La-la-la-la-la-la!
08:32Are we ready?
08:34Um...
08:34Rubber?
08:36Bumble?
08:37Giver?
08:38Yup!
08:39You go check the ramp, Animal, and signal me when you're ready!
08:43Okey-dokey!
08:44Bumble!
08:50Bumble!
08:51Bumble!
08:53Start your motor!
08:55HOT TACK!
08:56Bumble!
08:57Bumble!
08:59Bumble!
09:00Bumble!
09:01Now what?
09:02T minus one!
09:04Oh, no!
09:053, 2, 1!
09:08Blast them!
09:10Blast them!
09:11Bumble!
09:12Bumble!
09:39What's the matter with that little bird-o?
09:42Want me proud?
09:48We're gonna do it, Camilla!
09:53Daddy, look out!
09:57We're gonna crash!
10:07Sky Show!
10:09There we go!
10:12World rocket?
10:14Come on, animal!
10:22Oh, my! Gonzo, are you alright?
10:25Sure, Nanny.
10:26I think I just broke the world speed record.
10:30In my hallway?
10:31Well, you're lucky you didn't break your neck.
10:34I know what you're gonna say, Nanny.
10:36Oh, you do, do you?
10:38Uh-huh. I was breaking the house rules, and you're right. I shouldn't have done it.
10:42And I'll never do it again, I promise! I promise! I'm honest, okay? Huh?
10:47Well, that might be alright for you, Gonzo, but I'm afraid it's a little too late for Camilla.
10:53Huh? Camilla?
10:56Where is Camilla, Nanny?
10:57Right here, Gonzo. Under the vacuum.
11:01Under the vacuum!
11:02Camilla!
11:04Oh, no!
11:06Oh, my!
11:08Well, what are we gonna do, Nanny?
11:11I don't know, Gonzo. She looks pretty bad.
11:17Orange, are you alright, Gonzo?
11:20Yeah, but Camilla's not. See?
11:24You see, kids? This is what can happen when someone thinks safety rules are just for other people.
11:31Gonzo, you knew this wasn't a safe thing to do, didn't you?
11:36Uh-huh.
11:37Then why'd you do it, Gonzo?
11:39Because I wanted to show you guys I could be the best at something.
11:45This is the best wreck I've ever seen.
11:49Fozzie?
11:50Huh?
11:50I was just trying to make him feel better.
11:54It's okay, Fozzie. I don't deserve to feel better. Huh, Nanny?
11:59Well, Gonzo, carelessness does have a price.
12:03Unfortunately, yours seems to have cost you Camilla.
12:06Huh?
12:07Well, what do you mean, Nanny?
12:10Camilla's gonna be okay, isn't she?
12:12Well, I don't know, kids. It'll be a miracle if I can sew her back together.
12:18A miracle?
12:20Oh, boy.
12:21Sorry, Gonzo.
12:23In the meantime, why don't you kids help Gonzo clean up that mess?
12:27And see if you can't teach him why it's always better to be safe than sorry.
12:32That's okay, you guys. It's my mess. I'll clean it up.
12:36Oh, dear.
12:49Wouldn't this be easier to lift if two of us did it, or three?
12:55Huh? Kermit? Rolf? You're gonna help me?
13:01You're silly. Just because you're loud.
13:04And weird. And you act crazy.
13:07And you drive us all nuts.
13:09And you stole my family's hair!
13:13Does it mean we can't love you? Right, Kermit?
13:17Really?
13:18No, really. Yeah, it's a troll, right?
13:21But Nanny's right. You need to go to, um, some kind of safety school.
13:26Huh?
13:30Welcome to Officer Kermit's School of Safety,
13:33where even you can learn to be safe and sane.
13:37Really? Me?
13:38Hey, it's worth a try, isn't it?
13:40Ahem. May I have your attention, class?
13:43Oh! Say, who's in this class, anyway?
13:47You are!
13:50Oh!
13:51Now, the first thing we're teaching today is, um...
13:54Wheel safety!
13:56Officer Fozzie will demonstrate.
13:58Officer Fozzie? Right!
14:00When a trike or a skateboard or a wagon has a certain kind of wheel on it,
14:05that's because that's the right wheel for that toy.
14:08If you switch it around, you can make the toy more safe and even dangerous.
14:12Mm-hmm!
14:13Thank you, Officer Fozzie.
14:15Uh, Officer Piggy?
14:18The next part of the lesson has to do with borrowing things, asking permission, and putting their back.
14:24That's practice, okay?
14:25Gonzo, come here.
14:27Now, ask Skeeter if you may borrow her skateboard wheels.
14:31Really?
14:32Uh, Skeeter?
14:34Uh, may I please borrow your skateboard wheels?
14:37Okay, but you gotta put them back on when you're done.
14:41Gosh!
14:41She said okay!
14:43Right!
14:44And now, since you're done with him, put him back on.
14:52I'm having a little trouble.
14:53Then you shouldn't have taken it off, Gonzo.
14:57Sorry.
14:58Uh, Piggy, what does this borrowing stuff have to do with safety?
15:02I'm getting to that part, Kermie.
15:04Now, Gonzo, ask me if you can borrow my dolly's hair and bonnets.
15:09Okay.
15:10Piggy, may I borrow your dolly's hair and bonnets?
15:13No!
15:14And if you ever catch my dolly again!
15:17Mama!
15:18Quiet!
15:19I'll...
15:20It's just not safe!
15:22Get it started!
15:23Good!
15:24See, Kermie?
15:25The safety part came at the end.
15:28Sheesh.
15:33Hey, where's Scooter and Skeeter?
15:35They probably went to see how Nanny's doing with Camilla.
15:39I wonder how she is doing.
15:40You guys go back to the nursery.
15:42I'll go check.
15:44She's my best friend.
15:45Sure.
15:46Alright.
15:46Bye-bye.
15:47Bye-bye.
15:49Please be okay, Camilla.
15:53Please be okay.
16:00Uh, excuse me.
16:02I'm here to visit Camilla.
16:04Camilla?
16:05Hmm.
16:05Oh, she's in the injured chicken wing down that way.
16:09You can't miss it.
16:11Chicken wing.
16:13Oh, well.
16:15When out of nowhere, this little chicken hawk walks up and says he's gonna have me for supper.
16:21Huh?
16:25Oh, yeah?
16:26If you ask me, a pretty duck was driving that truck, Granny.
16:30Oh.
16:36Camilla?
16:37May I help you?
16:38Well, uh, um, I just wanted to know how Camilla is doing, Nanny.
16:44Donzo, I'm sorry, but it's, it's still too early.
16:47I just can't tell.
16:49Oh.
16:49Oh.
16:49Now, why don't you go back to the nursery and I'll come and get you as soon as I know
16:54what's
16:54what.
16:55Uh, okay, Nanny.
16:57Ah.
17:01If I could make a wish, and have that wish come true, I'd take us back to yesterday,
17:10when you were good as new.
17:12Until we meet again, you're still my closest friend, and I'll be blue for you.
17:25When I say I'm sorry, it's coming from my heart.
17:31I mean it, I really, truly do.
17:36Oh, I'll be blue for you.
17:42I remember taking walks, you'd always hold my hand.
17:49I didn't have to talk too much, and you'd still understand.
17:55We have memories, and I'll take special care of these.
18:01I'll be blue for you.
18:04Oh, please get better.
18:07I'll be blue for you.
18:15Hi, kids.
18:17Hi, Nanny.
18:18Thanks for cleaning up the hallway.
18:20You're welcome.
18:21We've almost got the rest of these toys put back together too, Nanny.
18:25Huh?
18:26I guess this one isn't quite done yet.
18:28I see.
18:30Where's Gonzo?
18:31Gosh!
18:32We thought he was with you, Nanny.
18:34Oh no!
18:35He left me a long time ago.
18:37Hey, Gonzo!
18:40Hey, wait a minute, Nanny.
18:42I saw Gonzo talking to Fozzy a little while ago.
18:45Me too!
18:46You did?
18:47Where is Gonzo, Fozzy?
18:51Well, he's not in the toy box, and he's not under the rug, and he's not in the...
18:58Fozzy, what's the matter?
19:00Gonzo made me promise not to tell Kermit.
19:03Oh, that is serious, Fozzy.
19:05I wouldn't want you to break a promise.
19:08That's good, Nanny, because if I told you he's in the closet, he'd be real mad.
19:12He's in the closet, Nanny!
19:13Who told?
19:15I'll get him, Nanny.
19:19Donzo?
19:21Donzo?
19:23Is that you, Kermit?
19:25Uh-huh.
19:26Where are you?
19:28On Mars.
19:29Mars?
19:30But this isn't...
19:34Oh, boy.
19:35When a weirdo says Mars, he means Mars.
19:40What are you doing, Donzo?
19:42Oh, boy.
19:43Oh, boy.
19:43Donzo?
19:43I'm wishing real hard for a miracle so Camilla will be okay.
19:48On Mars?
19:49Uh-huh.
19:51Camilla and I used to come here a lot.
19:54Isn't it beautiful?
19:56Well, um, yeah, I guess so.
20:00Um, uh, Gonzo?
20:02Nanny's waiting for you back in the nursery.
20:05She is?
20:06Uh-huh.
20:07Hey, how do we get back from here, anyway?
20:09Simple.
20:11Just go back around the cardboard box.
20:14Simple.
20:17There you are, Gonzo.
20:19Uh, I was wishing for that miracle you said Camilla needed, Nanny.
20:23Really?
20:24Uh-huh.
20:25Well, why don't you tell me all about it in the sewing room?
20:29Uh-huh.
20:29You mean I can come?
20:30Uh-huh.
20:31You can all come, kids.
20:34Oh, yeah.
20:35Manny is good.
20:36Uh-huh.
20:37Uh-huh.
20:37So, do you think if I keep wishing long enough, Nanny, you might be able to?
20:42Uh-huh.
20:44Uh-huh.
20:45Uh-huh.
20:45Go on.
20:48Uh-huh.
20:50Uh-huh.
20:51Uh-huh.
20:52Uh-huh.
20:55Uh-huh.
20:55Oh, Nanny.
20:56Shhh.
20:58Uh-huh.
20:58Milla?
20:59Is that really you?
21:01Um...
21:02Uh-huh.
21:03Nanny said you were gonna need a miracle, so...
21:06I-I wish that...
21:08Uh-I-I'm really sorry about the wreck, and...
21:11Uh-I hope you still like me, and...
21:14Oh, Camilla! I thought I was never going to see you again. I miss you so much. Hey, look, she's
21:24okay.
21:25Yay! Camilla's okay!
21:27All right, Nanny.
21:29Next day.
21:30Yay!
21:30Oh, my. Take it easy, kid.
21:34But, Nanny, you must have had a lot of practice at this kind of stuff, huh?
21:39Well, to be honest with you, kids, Camilla is the first stuffed baby chicken I ever sewed back together.
21:45Gosh, that is a miracle.
21:48Thanks, Nanny.
21:51But, fine.
21:54Animal, no!
21:56Here, Kermit, pull Camilla. I'll handle this.
22:00Hold it! Abort mission! Stop the countdown!
22:04What?
22:05Animal, what are you doing?
22:07World record!
22:09World record! Today?
22:11I don't think so.
22:13Too sunny!
22:14What?
22:15Besides, you're just a kid, see?
22:17Like me!
22:19I don't want to be like them, though.
22:22Yeah, well, uh, all us kids are too little to do stuff like this.
22:27It's just not safe.
22:29Not?
22:30Ooh!
22:32Gosh, Nanny, looks like we got two miracles in one day.
22:36I'll say, Kermit.
22:37Why don't you find something nice and safe to play, like Piddlywinks?
22:41And I'll go get Camilla, okay, Animal?
22:44Okay.
22:45Piddlywinks farm.
22:47La-la-la-la-la-la.

22:51Right, you guys?
22:51And I'll say, Kermit.
