JIM
Hello there, my name is Jim Henson, and I’m the director of a movie called E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial. You’ve probably heard of it since it won a whole bunch of awards and made a lot of money and everybody liked it. Now, when Steven Spielberg first told me that he was directing something called The Dark Crystal, I told him, “Stevie, that is a bad idea. Audiences won’t understand it.” But he made The Dark Crystal anyway, while I was making E.T. To prove it to you, here he is now: Steven Spielberg.
FRANK
I don’t wanna do this. The beard itches.
JIM
It’ll be good for the company, Frank.
FRANK
(sighs)
HI, I’m Steven Spielberg. I made The Dark Crys–
JIM
With feeling!
FRANK (CONT’D)
HI I’M STEVEN SPIELBERG I MADE THE DARK CRYSTAL AND PEOPLE DIDN’T LIKE IT AND JIM HENSON MADE E.T. AND EVERYBODY LIKED IT AND JIM THIS IS EMBARRASSING. Can I please just go direct movies now?
JIM
Yeah, sure, you can do the next Muppet movie if you want.
FRANK
Really?
JIM
Sure, I don’t care – I’m the guy who made E.T., motherfrogger!
