NEWSCASTER: We take you now to
Kermit the Frog with another
fast breaking news story.
Well, I've never understood
why he goes up the hill to
fetch a pail of water.
I mean, logically, water
would be down at the
bottom of the, uh--
oh, uh, hi ho, this is
Kermit the Frog for
Sesame Street News.
And today I'm speaking to you
from the base of a world
famous hill, and I'm standing
next to a world famous hill
climber whose name is Jack.
Pardon me, Jack.
I was wondering if you could
tell our audience, uh, why is
it you're going to
climb this hill?
JACK: Oh, oh, yeah, to fetch
a pail of water.
KERMIT: To fetch a pail
of water, folks.
And can you tell us, are you
going to make this climb all
by yourself?
JACK: Uh, no, no, I'm taking
somebody with me.
KERMIT: He's taking somebody
with him, folks!
JACK: Yeah, yeah.
Who is the lucky person
going to be?
JACK: Well, uh, gee, I forget.
Let's see, uh, Jack and--
anyway, uh, Jack and somebody
went up the hill to fetch a
pail of water.
I think it's someone who's name
rhymes with, uh, hill.
That's it, yeah.
You know, like still
or thrill?
Chill, something like that.
KERMIT: Yes.
The name rhymes with
hill, folks.
JACK: Yeah.
MERVIN: Hey, how about me?
I'll go.
Listen to this.
Jack and Mervin went
up the hill.
JACK: Let's see, uh, Jack and
Mervin went up the hill to--
MERVIN: Yeah, nice, huh?
JACK: No, that doesn't rhyme.
KERMIT: Mervin, hill.
No, that doesn't rhyme.
You see, your name doesn't
rhyme with hill.
MERVIN: You're smart
for a frog.
KERMIT: Uh-huh.
JACK: Yeah.
Oh, also, it has to be a girl.
FRANCINE: How about me, then?
KERMIT: Uh-huh.
Oh, well, uh, what's,
what's your name?
FRANCINE: Oh, Francine.
KERMIT: Francine.
FRANCINE: Yeah, try it out.
JACK: OK, let's see.
Uh, Jack and Francine went up
the hill-- no, that doesn't
even rhyme.
FRANCINE: Pretty good, huh?
KERMIT: No, I don't think
it rhymes, uh, Francine.
Sorry about that.
FRANCINE: Oh.
Oh, well.
JACK: Yeah.
Yeah.
KERMIT: Francine and
hill don't rhyme.
JACK: No, Jack and Francine.
No, it doesn't work.
It doesn't matter.
KERMIT: Somebody like, uh--
GLADYS: How about me?
I'll go.
JACK: Well, what's your name?
What's your name?
GLADYS: My name is Gladys.
JACK: Let's see, uh, Jack and
Gladys went up the hill.
No, it doesn't rhyme.
KERMIT: Gladys, hill, oh, no.
That doesn't rhyme, either.
JACK: Doesn't rhyme.
GLADYS: Oh, I know.
"Moo"-ove on. "Moo"-ove on.
KERMIT: I think you're running
out of prospects, Jack.
JACK: Was that a cow?
KERMIT: Yes, it was.
JACK: Hm.
Hey, wait.
Wait, there she is.
Hey, there she is.
KERMIT: Who?
JACK: Jill.
Yeah, Jill.
I remember now.
Jack and Jill went
up the hill.
KERMIT: How about that, folks?
Jill and hill do rhyme.
JACK: Yeah.
JILL: I got a scoop for ya.
KERMIT: Oh, yeah?
JILL: Yeah.
I'm not going.
JACK: What?
KERMIT: Really?
Why?
JILL: No, because every time I
go up the hill with Jack, the
same thing happens.
You remember.
JACK: Oh, no.
JILL: It happened last time,
and the time before that.
Sure, yeah, it was Jack and Jill
went up the hill to fetch
a pail of water, and
Jack fell down.
JACK: OK, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And broke his crown, and Jill
came tumbling after.
All right, all right.
JILL: Yeah.
So find somebody else to
take the tumble, Jack.
JACK: Hey.
Get off my case, lady, huh?
KERMIT: Oh, well, Jack, it looks
like you're going to
have to settle for somebody
whose name does not rhyme
with, uh, hill.
JACK: Yeah, I guess so.
OK, who wants to go up with me?
Come on.
Mervin, Francine, Mervin?
MERVIN: No, no, no.
I didn't know about the tumbling
down the hill part.
JACK: How about you?
How about--
FRANCINE: No thank.
No.
Uh-uh.
SIMON: No, not me, either.
Nope.
KERMIT: Well, Jack, listen.
Does this mean you're going to
have to go and fetch that pail
of water all by yourself?
JACK: No.
I just got a new volunteer.
KERMIT: Oh, yeah?
Well, who is that?
JACK: You, frog.
MUPPETS: Oh, yeah.
All right.
Yeah, come on, come on.
Let's go.
Come on, come on.
KERMIT: No, but--
JACK: Go up the hill.
Up the hill, here we go.
MUPPETS: Go.
Move those flippers.
Hey!
Oh, good climbing.
Good climbing.
Get up there.
That's great, fantastic.
Yeah, come on, come on.
You can do it.
You can do it.
I know you can.
Aw, yeah.
JACK: Oh, no!
Ow!
Ow!
Ouch!
Ow!
Ow!
Ow!
KERMIT: This is, uh, Kermit the
Frog returning you to your
regularly scheduled
programming.
JACK: I think I broke
my crown.
KERMIT: Again?
