Emmet:  I think they're from Riverbottom! Chuck:  Look at the birds up in the tree. Harvey:  Yeah? Well, we're not birds, we're a jug band! Charlie:  Yeah! Practicing for the talent contest! Stanley:  Oh, sure! They're gonna win the talent contest, right, boss? Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha! Chuck:  Shut up. Wendell:  What was that all about? Ma Otter:  Emmet, what do you say? Sounds better than selling snake oil. Emmet:  Why, sure. Nobody wants to oil a snake these days! (laughs) Kermit the Frog:  And so, Ma, Emmet, and the boys started to make a little regular pay, and playing a lot of really fine music. And from then on, Christmas is a little merrier on the river.
