Doc Hopper : Max, I've done my best with that frog, now's the time to do my worst. Open the door.
Max : No, YOU open the door!
Doc Hopper : What?
Max : I'm through, Doc. The frog is right. You're asking him to do something terrible. I can't be a part of it. It's a moral decision and I'll stand by it.
Doc Hopper : I'll double your percentage.
Max : I'll open the door.

Doc Hopper : And remember, this frog does everything: he talks, he sings, he dances, he tells jokes, he even rides a bicycle. Max, find me a frog and a bear in a tan Studebaker.

Dr. Teeth : It's only an old ghost town.
Kermit : Right.
