- Oh, well I would say
that I sound like angels singing on high
when I'm happy, at least.
If I'm unhappy I sound like this, hi ya!

You know, funny story,
when I was a tadpole, they called me Kermit the Tadpole,
but then I dropped my tail
and when I became a frog,
then my name became Kermit the Frog.

What was Kermit the Frog's original color?
You were a different color?

Frogs in my family only come in one color,
even when my tadpoles, just green.

And then you decided that I was going to be a big star
on the Muppet show.
- Well, you know,
I mean, that is where you kind of joined us.
I mean, you kind of-
- I mean, I could tell,
I could just tell by the look in your eyes
that you wanted moi in your life
for the rest of your life.
- Okay, alright.
You know, memory is a funny thing.
We all have our own memories.
Right?
Okay, next question.

In our movie, "The Muppets take Manhattan,"
we filmed a flashback to when we were babies
and that's what that's referring to.
Yeah, that's what that's about.
- Oh, yes, yes.
I was so cute then.
And I just keep getting cuter, don't I, Kermit?

It's Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy drop the mic.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
You remember that, Piggy?
We had a lot of fun doing drop the mic, didn't we?
- You were too nice though.
- Well, I was too nice?
I can't help it, that's my style.
- Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy wedding? [cooing]
- [stammering] Actually, you know, that,
well, you see, in "The Muppets take Manhattan," our film,
we had a big wedding scene and, but-
- Yes, we did, Kermit.
- You know, it was all a fantasy.
It was just Hollywood magic, you know?
It was just written in a script-
- But magic nonetheless, wouldn't you say?
- It was a nice, there was a nice scene
performed by two actors.
- Sometimes lovers.
- Okay, here's another one.
Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy singing "Rainbow Connection?"

Yeah, what the heck is that, Kermit?
- That's my collar, yeah.
- Collar.
- Yeah, it's my collar.
- That is something you put on in the morning?
