Quotes 

• Floyd : [wearing a suit of armor]  Oh, my little green friend. You have much indeed to learn about today's slang.

  Kermit : How do you mean, Floyd?

  Floyd : Well, when I said I wanted to get into something heavy for the final number, Sir Knight of the Iron wasn't it.

• Kermit : Now listen. This is a great chance for you. Besides, in the same jousting scene, you get to fight the Black Knight.

  Floyd : Who is the Black Knight?

  Kermit : Well, that's part of the fun. You see, no one will know. It's kept a complete and absolute mystery.

  [the Black Knight enters, sporting a distinctive hook-nosed helmet] 

  The Great Gonzo : The world will forever wonder who I am!

  Kermit : Though some may harbor suspicions.

• Floyd : I mean, why cast me? This knight business is an actor's gig. I am a musician, remember?

  Kermit : Well, Floyd, I wanted you to play the knight because you fit the part, you see. You're the only one of us with real gallantry. The only one of us with real honor.

  Scooter : The only one of us who'd fit in that iron suit.

  Kermit : Scooter, I needed that like I need a broken leg!

  Floyd : Okay, you need a broken leg, I'll fall on you again.

• Narrator : [voice over]  Be sure to tune in next week for Pigs... on... Toast!
