Voice over intercom Quotes in The Great Muppet Caper (1981)

Lady Holiday: Carla, the neckline on that gown is too high, don't you think?

Carla: I rather like the effect.

Lady Holiday: You like looking like an ostrich?

Carla: [miffed] Of course not, Lady Holiday.

Lady Holiday: And Marla. Too many frills and furbelows, I don't think we should strive for the fan-tailed pigeon look, do you? And you, Darla, that outfit's the pits. Loose where it should be tight and tight where it should be loose, like the folds on a turkey's neck. Why would I design such atrocious looking clothes?

[sitting down with a heavy sigh]

Lady Holiday: I *must* be getting senile.

[she presses a button on her desk]

Voice over intercom: Yes, Lady Holiday?

Lady Holiday: We have to make drastic changes in the new line before the show tomorrow, all my girls are going around looking like barnyard animals.

Miss Piggy: Ahem!

Lady Holiday: Good heavens, who are you?

Miss Piggy: My name is Miss Piggy, and I would like to be a high-fashion model!

Lady Holiday: Doesn't surprise me. Seems to be the way we're headed.
