Editing Ash's Adventures of The Muppet Movie/Transcript (section)

== Standing up to Doc Hopper ==
(cars approach into town)

* Scooter: Oh, no!
* Alpha 5: Ay-yi-yi! Ash, Kermit! Here comes Doc Hopper!
* Misty: And Hopper's got your mom!
* Ash: I know. We'll be ready for him.
* Doc Hopper: Okay, kid. Where are ya?
* Ash: We're here. We'll meet you in the middle of the street.
* Doc Hopper: Oh, yeah?
* Kermit: Man to heroes.

(clock strikes 12:00 as Ash, Pikachu, and Kermit head toward Hopper)

* Kermit: All right, Hopper.
* Doc Hopper: All right, frog. 
* Ash: Where's my mother?
* Doc Hopper: Max!
(Max brings Delia)
* Delia: Ash, help!
* Ash: Mom!
* Doc Hopper: First things first. (to Kermit) One last chance. You can do my TV commercials live or stuffed. (to Ash) And you, kid. One last chance. You gonna give up your silly dream and be my heir? Or kiss your Mommy good-bye.

(gang chucks up their guns)

* Kermit: Hopper, what's the matter with you? You gotta be crazy chasin' me halfway across the country. Why are you doin' this to us?
* Pikachu: Pikachu!
* Doc Hopper: 'Cause all my life I wanted to own a thousand frog-leg restaurants and you and the kid are the key, greenie.
* Kermit: Yeah, well, I've got a dream too. But it's about singing and dancing and making people happy.
* Ash: And I have a dream as well. Even though I am quite fond for what I did at the Masters 8 and being world famous, being Champion isn't my goal. The thing is, I still think of myself as a challenger. I want to go on a lot more adventures, meet lots more Pokémon and friends, and take everything I learn every day and put it to good use.
* Pikachu: Pika.
* Ash: Thing is...I want to be friends with all of the Pokémon and everyone in the world. That's what it means to be a Pokémon Master.

(While Ash talks, The New United Alliance of Evil hears this and cry tears of happiness)

* Kermit: Ash is right you know, Hopper. That's the kind of dream that gets better the more people you share it with. And, well, Ash and I've found a whole bunch of friends who have the same dream. And it kind of makes us like a family. You have anybody like that, Hopper? Once you get all those restaurants, who're you gonna share it with?
* Ash: Who are your friends, Doc? Those guys?
* Doc Hopper: Max! (Max approaches) I got lots of friends. Max, for instance. Max.
* Ash: We don't think you're a bad man, Doc. I think if you look in your heart, you'll find you really want to let me and my friends go...to follow our dream. But if that's not the kind of man you are, and if what I'm saying doesn't make any sense to you...well, then, go ahead and kill us.

(Doc Hopper brushes his hair and makes up his mind)

* Doc Hopper: Alright, boys. The boy first.

(everyone gasps)

* Delia: Ash, run!
* Max: No wait, please.
* Bowser: Don't you dare!
* Pikachu: (sparks fly from his cheeks) PIKA PIKA!!!
* Ash Ketchum: Pikachu, use thunderbolt!

(Pikachu shocks Doc and his henchmen except Max. The Muppets and Max are amazed upon seeing it.)

* Negaduck: D'oh! We’ll get him, Doc! (grabs chainsaw) Boys!
(The Crime Empire walks closer)
* Harley Quinn: Negaduck, Mr. J, no!
*Poison Ivy: Don’t do this!

(just then a rumbling occurs as two blue claws appear out of a roof to Doc Hopper's horror, then a familiar lizard face appears)

* Aisling: Joanna!

(the heroes gasp in amazement)

* '''Iago:''' Oh, oh! Three, two, one!
* Joanna: (Animal VO, roars)

(Doc Hooper, his gang, and the Crime Empire runs away as Harley, Ivy, and Max waves our heroes good luck)

* Bowser: That's right, run you traitorous cowards!
* Joanna: (laughs)
* Bowser: (to Kamek) Release her.
(Kamek frees Delia)
* Delia: (gets close to Ash)
* Ash: Thanks, Bowser.
* Mewtwo: Yes. We own you a debt of gratitude.
* Zordon: If there's anything you want, just ask.
* Bowser: Well, how about we get you to Hollywood?
* Kermit: On one condition: if we make a movie, you and your team get involved. Deal?
* Bowser: Deal!

(everyone even the New United Alliance of Evil cheers)

* Kermit: Everyone, on to Hollywood!
* Bowser Junior: We know a shortcut. Ready, guys?
* Everyone: Yeah!
