 * [After the chase of the slime monster]
 * Kermit: [sighs, opens the fence board to check] I think we lost it. [closes it, sees someone in a ghost costume which makes 11 of the kids] Hey, wait a minute. 1, 2, 3...that's funny. How many of us were there when we started the story?
 * Gonzo: 10. Why?
 * Kermit: 10? Why, uh, [points at someone in a ghost costume] I think we picked up a stray.
 * [Gonzo removes the sheet and it turns out to be the slime monster, who growls]
 * Kids: Slime monster!
 * Gonzo: Let's get outta here! Help!


 * [In the haunted house]
 * Skeeter: [comes out of the sheet] Are you sure you saw the slime monster in that closet, Gonzo?
 * Gonzo: [comes out of the sheet] I don't know. Maybe it was my imagination.
 * Fozzie: [comes out of the sheet] That's right. That's all it was. There aren't any slime monsters around here, uh, are there? [the slime monster comes out of the sheet, roars] That's good. For a minute there, I was getting worried. [gives a shocked look] Slime monster!
 * Kids: [run away] Slime monster!
 * Animal: Monster! Aah!
 * Beaker: Slime monster!
