The babies are pretending to be surgeons, operating on Fozzie (complete with an orange juice IV drip)), where he is diagnosed with having "Bad-joke-itis" by Dr. Gonzo. When he has a relapse, Gonzo decides to become a different doctor, which leads to the other babies discussing what they want to be when they grow up. Kermit can't figure out what he wants to be, so his friends help him decide what he should do. Nanny gives them a book to help with Kermit's job search. Among the possibilities are a firefighter with Fozzie, a professional bowler (Gonzo's ideal job), a movie star with Piggy, or an Olympic champion like Skeeter. When all seems hopeless, Kermit ultimately decides that he wants to be a cab driver.
