| 1 | * Nick Holiday's crush on Miss Piggy throughout the film was kinda sweet, in an over-the-top weird kinda way, in particular at the end, when he assures her that it was for real and begs her not to hate him. She in turn assures him that she doesn't, even if she doesn't return his romantic feelings. He even felt guilty for having to frame her. |
| 2 | * The reason behind [[http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Christine_Nelson Christine Nelson's]] one-liner part in the movie. Christine, the daughter of Muppet performer Jerry Nelson, was suffering from cystic fibrosis at the time and her dream of becoming an actress was to be cut short. So Henson gave her a speaking part with her father so she could qualify for the Actor's Guild. She died the following year... and Jim attended her funeral. |
| 3 | * A tongue in cheek case, but when Kermit and Miss Piggy break character and get into an argument over Piggy's overacting. This escalates into a very loud row until Piggy turns away genuinely hurt. Kermit instantly softens and apologises and gently asks if they can get back to the movie. |
| 4 | * When the other inmates realize that Piggy is going to break out, they cheer her on and tell her to go for it. In soft voices, so the guard won't hear. |
| 5 | * Piggy is torn between Kermit and Nicky throughout the movie. Then Nicky frames her for theft, and Kermit poses as her lawyer to inform her that the Muppets are heading to the Mallory Gallery to stop Nicky from stealing the Baseball Diamond and to clear her name. This cements her resolve; she breaks out of jail with only her strength and satin gloves, steals a few vehicles, and pulls a BigDamnHeroes moment by driving to the Gallery. She arrives just when Nicky takes Kermit hostage and knocks the thief down before curbstomping his cronies. Later when an arrested Nicky and Piggy talk and he begs her not to hate him, she gently and firmly explains that she doesn't, she's just learned the difference between right and wrong. |
| 6 | --> '''Nicky''': I really did care for you. |
| 7 | --> '''Piggy''': I know. |
| 8 | --> '''Nicky''': We could have had the world on a silver platter. |
| 9 | --> '''Piggy''': That silver's turned to iron bars, Nicky. |
| 10 | --> '''Nicky''': Don't hate me, Miss Piggy. |
| 11 | --> '''Piggy''': I don't. It's just that somehow along the road, I found out the difference between wrong and right. You're wrong. ''(gestures to Kermit)'' He's right. |
