WALDORF:
When has there ever been?
KERMIT: Oh, okay, you two.
Take the night off.
Uh, now, we might as well
bring up the house lights
and say good night
to everybody.
Thank you. Thank you.
And, uh, welcome, for the
moment, to "The Muppet Show."
Uh, listen, I really
feel bad about this,
but I have
a special announcement.
[ Mother humming ]
WALDORF: Hey, maybe we've gotten
lucky at last.
STATLER: Yeah, maybe tonight's
show's been canceled.
[ Laughter ]
Uh, tonight's show
has been canceled.
MOTHER: What do you think?
Have I died
and gone to heaven?
I think I could do that.
[ "The Muppet Show Theme"
plays ]
Play as well as you can.
- Go, team. Go.
[ Woman humming ]
WOMAN: Give me a "L."
Give me an "I."
Give me a "V."
Give me an "E."
L-I-V-E.
MOTHER: She's really something,
huh?
- WOMAN: Live.
- I could do that.
Otherwise, you got nothing to
talk about in the locker room.
GEORGE: Clarence! Clarence!
- Help me, Clarence!
[ Mother humming ]
Get me back! Get me back!
MOTHER: Oh, he is my favorite.
I don't care
what happens to me.
- I want to do that.
- Get me back to my --
my wife and kids.
Help me, Clarence, please.
Please.
I want to live again.
[ Indistinct talking on TV ]
Mom, Dad, I want to thank
you both for meeting me here.
Of course.
We live here.
Indeed, you do.
That's great, Dad.
So, I want
to get right to it
because I know you've both
got plenty on your plate.
I've made a very important
life decision.
I couldn't be more excited,
and, frankly, I can only hope
that you will be as enthusiastic
as I am about the prospect.
What is it?
I've decided...
to become...
an actor!
Well...
I, uh --
I think that's a very brave
decision, son.
Being an actor isn't easy.
It's not all fun and games.
It's a lot of work.
I know, Dad,
and that's an excellent point.
I am ready and prepared
to do all the work necessary
to become a fine actor.
Have you given any thought
to what kind of actor
you'd like to be?
What do you mean?
Well, would you like
to be a serious actor
or a funny actor,
a TV actor, a movie actor,
or a theater actor?
- I want to be all of it.

THE MAN IN BLACK: So, things are
very good in our world, huh?
At this rate, you'll never have
to worry about another thing
for the rest
of your life.
You just keep doing
exactly what you're doing,
and I'll take care
of the rest.
Oh. Oh.
Well, that's the thing.
I don't know if I can keep doing
exactly what I'm doing.
See, I'm starting
to get tired.
Tired?
Well, of course
you're tired.
You're the hardest-working boy
in this town.
That's why you are
where you are.
You have to remember,
acting isn't all fun and games.
No, I know.
It's just...
I don't know.
I thought it would be fun
to try something...
different.
Different?!
Son, people don't pay
for different.
They pay for
your greatest hits.
They pay for the flips.
You can never forget
there's a line of boys
winding outside
the studio gate
who would give their left leg
just to be you,
to be doing those flips.
How would they do those flips
with only one leg?
I understand
how you feel.
We all get tired
sometimes.
I know what will do
just the trick.
Garçon.
[ Snaps fingers ]
I'd like you to bring
this special boy
a carton of your finest

Mr. Coleman, Esquire.
We have a Knudsen
and our house blend.
I said the finest!
This is
the Clown Faced Boy.
He's not gonna drink
any g*dd*mn house blend!
WAITER: Yes, sir.
Knudsen it is. Right away.
Now, listen, we've come
a long way together,
and you've got all the toys
a boy could ever want.
I understand that it might
be time to take a little break,
enjoy your life, maybe think
of a new song to sing.
Maybe I could
do a sad song?
Well, let's not
get crazy.
No, it'll be
a funny song,
but it -- it can be a little
less funny if you want,
as long as
it's still very funny.
But let's not
get ahead of ourselves.
What I am proposing
is that we do one last show.
Our biggest yet.
We'll ride that train
to the end of the track
and then hop off right before
it slams into a brick wall.
- That sounds a little risky.
- [ Chuckles ]

to say that last sentence.

[ Sniffs ]
I guess I used to think
that I could do anything,

And now I don't even know
what I'm supposed to do next.
Like, literally.
Like, when I walk out this door,
I don't know
what I'm supposed to do.
[ Breathes deeply ]
And for the past 20 years,
what I would do
is I would make a bunch of jokes
and make you all like me.
Um, but I don't think
anything is funny right now.
And I don't like myself.
I don't expect you to like me.

I don't want to be here.

that I ended up in this room.
[ Sighs ]
I...wish that I had
something inspirational
to share for the newcomer.
Nope.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Sighs ]
Sorry.
That's my share for today.
- Thank you, Jason.
- Thank you, Jason.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Hey. Jason.
Sorry.
For what?
I don't --
Uh, I don't know.
I know it's just a habit, but
you should try not to apologize
when you haven't
done anything wrong.
You'll like yourself
better.
Okay.
Thank you.
Uh, I related
to what you said.
Obviously, it wasn't
the same as you,
but, uh, I know what it feels
like to be emptied out.
Yeah.
Sorry that you had to
deal with that, too.
And I also know
what it feels like
to not know
what to do next.
I am a grown woman, and I once
had to ask another grown woman
what to do on a Sunday.
[ Chuckles ]
I had no idea.
I had seen things
in movies and TV,
like picnic in the park
or museum,
but I just had no experience
with a sober Sunday.
What do you do
on a Sunday?
Picnic in the park.
Museum.
[ Chuckles ]
Okay. Thanks.
Anything you want,
really.
I started making stuff again,
so that keeps me busy.
Turns out my life
is pretty simple,
and there's a lot of beautiful
cheap junk laying around
waiting to be made
into something cool.
Well [Clears throat]
I-I hope to see that someday.
Now?
What does -- What do you mean?
Right now?
Why not?
It's always now.
Now.
Now.
Now.
[ Chuckles ]
And...now.
[ Chuckles ]
What, do you
have somewhere to be?
No.
I have nowhere to be.
Okay.
Hey, uh,
what's your name?
Simone.

Wow.
[ Chuckles ]
Is this where you work?
It's where
I everything.
Wow.
Is this yours?
SIMONE: No.
[ Chuckling ]
No, I-I work on the farm.
I...scoop up horse sh*t
and whatnot.
[ Chuckles ]
But they let me
live here, so...
And I get to make stuff,
so it's worth it.
Yeah.
That's my

Are there any pictures
you're in?
Oh. No, no.
I, uh --
I take the pictures.

Oh.
[ Spooky voice ] So you'll
never find me in there.

God, to have a conversation
with my younger self.

Yeah?

the old spin-a-roo?
SIMONE: Spin-a-roo.
[ Music box plays ]
- JASON: Hmm.
How do you come up with
all this different stuff?
I don't know.
It comes to me in dreams a lot.
It's like echoes
of a former life.
I don't sleep
very well.
I'm lucky if I make it
to 3:00 a.m.
That'll get better.
I keep hearing that.
Don't really know where to start
at the moment.
It's always best to start
at the beginning.
With you.
And, like, what you like.
[ Chuckles ]
What do you like?
Uh, I have no idea
at the moment.
It was a lot easier
when I was drunk guy.
Hmm.
Sit down.
If you want to.
Don't think.
Just write.
What do you like?
[ Pen clicks ]
[ Pen clicks ]
What?
Nothing.
It's just...
This is stupid.
My list.
My list is stupid.
Can I see?
You want to see?
Yeah, prepare to be wowed.
Here you go.
"Spooky."
And "surprises."
These are two great things.
I love these things.
I love them, too.
Um, but I'm also a grown man.
You asked me to make a list
of things I like.
I came up with two things.
One was "spooky"
and one was "surprises."
And that's it.
So I would call that...
pretty humiliating.
Jason, I have an idea, but
you're gonna need to trust me.
I'm open to anything
at this point.
I-I don't know what I'm
supposed to do with this.
Take a chance.
Mr. Segel.
We've been expecting you.

bought a postcard
to give away.
That's how this works.
You pass it forward.
Do you understand?
What you were saying on there
is about me.
Well, it's about
all of us.
Honestly,
that's the point.
Jason, your pain,
whatever it is, is 0% unique,
as hard as that might be
to believe.
You are special
but not because
you're unique.
You're special because you're
exactly like everyone else.
Perfect.
I don't understand
what's happening.
Ohh.
[ Sniffles ]

about life.

Oh, oh.
Mm, well, maybe
I'm really proud.
- You finished?
- [ Imitates expl*si*n ]
Ohh, snap!
It -- It's really beautiful,
Jason.
I'm proud of you.
You really found yourself.
Yes. Thank you.
No, that's what
you want me to say.
I know because you literally
wrote it in there.
[ Chuckles ]
I like it a lot.
I think it's really cool
and inventive.
But the parts about you
are just...
sort of lacking
any personal responsibility.
Huh. Huh.
You're really hard on
all the other characters,
and then you paint yourself as,
like, a...victim.
Okay. I didn't -- I mean,
I-I didn't see it that way,
but I think it's great --
it's good to have outside eyes
on something.
I just think
it's missing something,
like it needs another scene
- or a line?
- Yeah.
It doesn't have to be
a whole big thing.
I mean, it could be, you know,
like, short and to the point.
It's just your whole thing
is about finding yourself,
so that really means you have to
own your sh*t, you know, man?
Totally.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
- Are you mad?
- Am I mad?
No, I'm the opposite
of mad.
I'm a -- I'm -- couldn't --
No, um, that's a good note.

keep saying that?
Sorry. I was just trying
to get your attention.
Okay, well, you have it.
What do you want?
I want you
to grow the f*ck up.
You watch your mouth.
You're just a boy.
Oh, bullshit!
I'm not a boy.
I'm you.
That's the problem.
I'm you, and you are not
a g*dd*mn boy.
You're a 40-year-old adult,
and this man-child victim sh*t
has got to end!
- Can you just --
- THE BOY: No!
Release me, man,
for the love of God!
No one force-fed you
chocolate milk.
No one made you do anything
you didn't agree to do.
You got drunk, you got rich,
and you stopped being...you.
You're a weird dude.
You made a Dracula
puppet musical.
And then instead of letting
your freak flag fly,
you filled your fat face
with cake and whiskey
and tried to stay famous.
Own it, dude!
[ Knock on door ]
Go away.
[ Knock on door ]
Go away, God damn it!
I'm sleeping!
This script is horrible.
How much?
Yeah, I'll take it.
Okay.
[ Coughing, retching ]
So I was a selfish,
self-centered, entitled,
spoiled guy
who lost his way.
No victim, no villain.
Just me and my choices.
Is that right?
There you go.
You're cured.
I am?
No, you're
a g*dd*mn mess.
But it's a start.
I gotta go now.
Time to grow up.
If you need to write another
Muppets movie, I'll be back.
[ Door opens ]
- [ Sighs ]
[ Door closes ]
I know it's a lot to digest.
Um, you probably want me
to explain more
of what's going on in the show.
FREDWYNN: No, I understand
what's going on in the show.
I think it's interesting.
And strange.
And hopeful.
And a little sad
in a way I like.
It's like "Fight Club"
on acid,
written by someone
who likes life.
[ Chuckles ]
But what I want to know is,
why do you want to do it?
Why is this
important to you?
I used to think
I could do anything.
And then I lost
that part of myself.
So I went on this search.
I didn't always know
what I was looking for
or even why, exactly.
I don't know
if I found myself again
or if this is something new,
but I know that I want
to write about it.
Also, I just think the whole
thing is fun [Chuckles]
and weird and -- and dark
and hilarious,
and I want it to be
all those things.
[ Breathes deeply ]
Because I am all those things.
This experience
helped me remember that.
And I just think maybe
it might be helpful
to anybody who is as confused
as I was -- am.
I think that maybe
underneath all of our stuff,
we're just not
nearly as different
as we choose to believe.
Maybe I am Jason
and I am you.
The end.
FREDWYNN: And you think
you can pull this off?
No.
No, no.
Not on my own.
But maybe
if I had some help.
It took me a long time
to learn that.
Let's get you some help.
[ Laughs ]
I thought it was
really beautiful.
Lovely.
It was just lovely.
Way out there.
I felt it was
well-ex*cuted.
Most of the time.
Some moments dipped
into self-indulgence,
which is not my taste,
but, you know.
Yeah,
come to think of it,
the last episode
is rather self-centered.
I thought the show was
supposed to be about community.
Huh.
Wait, she's right.
Well, Janice
is always right.
Yeah, well,
pretty much.
Simone, do remember that list
you had me make?
Uh, things I like?
[ Chuckling ] Yeah.
How could I forget that?
Right, well, it turns out those
are things I really do like --
spooky
and surprises.
Ohh, I like where
this is going!
- Oh, me too.
- [ Laughs ]
So, we got spooky with the whole
"Clara might be dead" thing.
- That was a nice touch.
- Thank you.
Though I knew she was Lee
very, very, very early on.
Oh.
But, you know, anyway,
what's left?
Surprises?
Hey, everyone.
I hope you've enjoyed our show
so far.
We're not quite finished.
You see, if we ended
on an episode all about me,
that would really miss
the point, wouldn't it?
Uh, well,
that's for sure.
This hasn't been about me or you
or even just a TV show.
It's been about us.
All of us making something
together.
Here, I-I'll show you.
Go up.
Go, go, go.
This is the cast and crew
of "Dispatches from Elsewhere."
We made this together.
Say hi, everyone.
- ALL: Hi!
- JASON: And not just us.
Uh, some of you at home,
you're part of the finale, also.
SIMONE: What?!
But how?!
That would
be impossible!
JASON: No, you see, Simone,
our audience has been part
of this experience all along.
Some of you have been playing at
home with us from the beginning.
To say thank you,
I've included you
in Octavio's final,
emotionally satisfying epilogue.
Don't believe me?
Let me show you.
[ Snaps fingers ]
Hello, my friends.
We have reached the final
moments of our entertainment,
when my intentions become clear
and the veil of metaphor
is lifted at last.
Perhaps you'll recall
that in our first installment,
I proclaimed myself
a reliable narrator,
despite a confession
that I'd lied to you.
Once and only once.
That, too, was a lie.
For, in fact,
I've lied to you myriad times
throughout our journey together,
the most important of those lies
being this --
I once told you
that Peter was you.
Nextly, I proclaimed
Simone was you.
Thirdly, I offered
the possibility
that Janice was,
in fact, your surrogate.
And lastly, I contended
that Fredwynn was, indeed, you.
These are, I regretfully
inform you, lies.
For if there's one thing
I hope you've learned
from our time together,
my friends,
is that you, and only you,
are you.
Don't believe me?
Let me show you.
[ Snaps fingers ]
I am Stevie, and I am you.
I am Scott, and I am you.
I am Melissa, and I am you.
I am Luciano, and I am you.
I am Courtney, and I am you.
I am Tarik, and I am you.
I'm Magnolia, and I am you.
I am Joe, and I am you.
I am Sterling, and I am you.
I am Matthew, and I am you.
I am Luce, and I am you.
I am Michael, and I am you.
I am Kimberly, and I am you.
I am Ouja, and I am you.
I am Yadira, and I am you.
I am Daisy, and I am you.
I am Tom, and I am you.
I'm Nicole, and I am you.
But what else has our story
taught us, my friends?
Surely historians
will have their opinions,
but mine [Chuckles]
well, mine is simple.
It seems to me
that our story taught us
that the answer to change
lies not in a game
or a missing girl
or a clown-faced boy.
Change comes
when we find one another.
For once we have
found each other,
the energy of our collective
spirits can take flight,
and the world around us
begins to change.
We're so convinced
of our separateness,
but what lies within us is all
drawn from the same source.
The water in here is the same
as the water in there.
But the real lesson
is when we realize
that perhaps
the containers, too,
are made from the same stuff.
It is true,
if we limit ourselves
to our tiny mind instruments,
that you are you,
but perhaps if we let our
subtler tools take the lead,
we may glimpse the truth,
even if only for a moment.
There is no you.
And there is no me.
There is only...
ALL: We!
- We!
- We!
ALL: We.
- We.
- We.

[ Echoing ] We.
