Muppet Movie question

I was watching the Muppet Movie, and I think a key scene was missing from the dvd. It's not like it skipped tracks or anything the scene just wasn't there like I had remembered it.

For those of you who know---when Kermit is bicycling and almost gets flattened, the guy/assistant for the Frog Legs thing sees him. But there's no exchange or anything after that it just cuts right to El Sleezo. I thought that after Kermit's "Gone with the schwin line" there was an exchange between the two where the assistant tries to convince Kermit to become a spokesfrog for the chain of restuarants.

It just cuts right from that line to Kermit at the front of El Sleezo.

In fact I got so distracted by that I turned off the movie and tried to watch Johnny. Which was weird and I wasn't in the right mindset for that. At all.

I remember that! Yes, it was there in the theatre.

I thought so! The change is so abrupt and there's no reason given as at to why Kermit and Fozzie are being tailed by those two guys. I wonder what happened to that scene, it's pivotal to the story line.

Bad editing? I have no idea. And yes, that scene is important to the story.
