• Pops : Oh, I love to boogie. Boogie-woo- Hey. Hey, who are you?

  Buddy Rich : I'm Buddy Rich, world famous drummer.

  Pops : We already got one. Ever hear of a drummer called Animal?

  Buddy Rich : Are you kidding? All drummers are animals.

• Beauregard : [after singing a duet with Buddy Rich]  Wow, thanks Mr. Rich. I feel a lot worse.

  [leaves] 

  Buddy Rich : [turns to camera]  I like to help.

• Miss Piggy : I, I just had to come in and tell you that I think you're a truly great drummer.

  Buddy Rich : Why, thank you, Miss Piggy. I think you're a very large singer.

  Miss Piggy : I beg your pardon?

• Beauregard : Everybody's out to get me. Could I use your window?

  Buddy Rich : Well, I know it's bad, Beau, but don't jump.

  Beauregard : Jump? I was just going to take a nap on the fire escape.

• Buddy Rich : [Buddy Rich and Animal have agreed to a drum battle]  He looks like a sore loser.

  Floyd Pepper : Heh. If this chain breaks, you'll be a sore winner.

  Kermit the Frog : Uh, listen, uh, I'll just go ahead and introduce you. Floyd, get Animal ready.

  Floyd Pepper : Animal. You ready?

  Animal : [looks at Buddy]  Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

  Buddy Rich : Yeah. He's ready.
