muppets

Yonatan is on video conference. Joby stands behind the small portable video conference unit and bends over it so that the tips of his hair fall over the camera.

Yonatan: Joby, I can only see the top of your head! You look like a muppet!

Alipé: In England, "muppet" is an insulting term. It means "fool".

Yonatan: Well, in the US, it's the Jim Henson pupp --

Alipé: Yes, I know what muppets are. [pause] Animated fools.

Everyone: [laughing]

Alipé: [turns to Joby, now serious] Joby, I don't mean to say that you're a fool.

Joby: That's good.

Alipé: Only Yonatan is saying that.
