A Merry Muppet Mash-Up

BONUS SCENE

As the screen turns black and the main end credits start to roll, Uncle Deadly suddenly appears on the screen.

Uncle Deadly: "Hold it right there!"

The credits instantly freeze as the music makes a scratched record sound.

Uncle Deadly: [Arms folded with an annoyed expression] "What about my part!? The one where Clara and everyone stopped at my station before continuing to Candyland. Or did no one wonder how Rizzo reunited with them?" [Makes a foot-tapping sound as there's a 5-second pause] "Well?"

The movie quickly rewinds until it gets to the scene Uncle Deadly is talking about.

The Polar Bear Express stops at a station. The bears growl that they need more spirits. Clara and company get off and look for cases of Coca-Cola. Pepe looks inside a window and sees what they're looking for.

Pepe: "Here's some."

Everyone looks in the same window before going inside the station. The inside of the station looked just like a high-end bank with several tellers typing on computers. In other words, everything is precise and clean. And absolutely zero Christmas decorations.

Clara is about to lift the case of soda when she's rudely stopped by Uncle Deadly. He's wearing a station master uniform with a broom in his hands. He had just whacked the case Clara was about to pick up.

Uncle Deadly: [Sharply] "You can't take that!"

Clara: "Why not?"

Marie: "We need that to get to Candyland."

Uncle Deadly: "Not my problem, now shoo!" [Makes shooing gestures] "I'm busy enough as it is. [Sweeps while grumbling] "Rats running all over which way, and snow piling up in places it shouldn't!"

Bean Bunny/Teddy Bear Toy: "Excuse me, but why are you so grouchy?"

Uncle Deadly: [Stops sweeping and looks at Bean Bunny] "The name's Mr. Deadly. Forgive me, but I'm a little miffed that I was passed over for the parts of Crooked Man Barnaby and the Narrator. I didn't even get the parts of Hans Drosselmeyer or the Rat King." [Brief pause] "Though I shouldn't be surprised by that last one."

Uncle Deadly then returns to his sweeping. As Clara and the others are about to discuss what to do, Rizzo shows up on the scene, winded and covered in snow. He shakes the snow off with a sneeze and sees Clara and the gang.

Pepe: "What happened to you?"

Rizzo: "Well, to paraphrase. I got to the rats. Told them Barnaby's plan to erase Christmas and magic. They didn't believe me, called me a traitor, and chased me out." [Brushes leftover snow off his tail] "After that, I've been running to catch up with your train."

Robbin/Jack-in-the-Box Toy: "I guess you lucked out in catching us. But we're stuck here."

Rizzo: "Why?"

Miss Pigg/Sugar Plum Fairy Queen: [Testily while gesturing to Uncle Deadly] "Scrooge over there won't let us refill the bear train."

Uncle had finished sweeping and was now at the station master's stand.

Uncle Deadly: [Without looking up from his paperwork] "Namecalling won't make me change my mind, you piggy pixie."

Miss Piggy/Sugar Plum Fairy Queen: [Angerily while the others hold her back] "Fairy! I'm the queen of the sugar plum fairies!"

Uncle Deadly: [Shouts] "I don't care! Now either leave or make yourselves useful!" [Gestures to the empty teller cubicles]

Marie: [Exclaims] "You don't care that an evil toad named Barnaby is going erase all magic and destroy Christmas?!"

Uncle Deadly: [Without looking at her] "No."

With a sigh of aggravation, she and the others, including Rizzo, walk out onto the platform. As they all sit with their legs over the platform's edge, elbows on knees, they sigh in unison. The bears growl while leftover fizz hisses from their wheels. The growls and hisses start to form a song that Clara and Marie recognize.

They start to sing the song, substituting the original lyrics to match the scene. Over the course of the song, the tellers join in; even Uncle Deadly is happily singing along.

Ensemble: "(Singing/Dancing)"

During the final verses, he and the tellers lift case after case and bring it to bears. By the song's end Clara and her group, plus Rizzo, get on the train and wave to a waving Uncle Deadly and tellers. As the bonus scene ends, the end credits resume. Only this time they're playing a reprise of the bonus scene's song.
