01:10The best of Ernie and Bert.
01:18Hi, I'm babysitting Ernie's little cousin Ernestine and Big Bert's helping me.
01:27Yeah.
01:33And right here I have Ernestine's favorite book, you see?
01:37Mm-hmm.
01:38And do you know why it's her favorite book, Big Bert?
01:40Gee, I give up.
01:41Because Ernie and Bert are inside this book.
01:44Ernie and Bert are inside this book?
01:47I don't think they'd fit.
01:48Well, Bert, maybe.
01:49He's pretty skinny.
01:50No, really, they are.
01:52Look.
01:53Oh, it's a picture of Ernie and Bert.
01:57Gee, I remember when Olivia took that picture one day.
02:01Ernie and Bert were at the movies.
02:09It's a good movie, isn't it, Bert?
02:11Yeah.
02:13Huh?
02:14It's a good movie.
02:16Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:18Excuse me, please.
02:20Excuse me.
02:21Oh, I'm sorry.
02:23Excuse me.
02:34Hey, Bert.
02:35Yeah?
02:35A lady just came and sat down in front of me with a big tall hat.
02:38Now I can't see the movie.
02:39What'll I do?
02:40Uh, I don't know.
02:42Figure it out yourself, Ernie.
02:44I'm trying to watch the movie.
02:45Shh, shh, shh.
02:46Oh.
02:48Let's see.
02:50What'll I do?
02:51Hmm.
02:52Hmm.
02:54I know it.
02:55Bert?
02:56Bert?
02:57What?
02:57What are you doing?
02:59I'm going to chase seats with you, Bert.
03:00No, you're not, Ernie.
03:01Come on.
03:01You can see it.
03:02I'm watching the movie.
03:03Shh, shh, shh.
03:04I'm sorry.
03:04I'm sorry.
03:05Come on, Ernie.
03:06Okay.
03:07Let's see.
03:09Uh, I guess I'll have to think of something else.
03:13Hmm.
03:16See, Bert can see.
03:18Because he's sitting in a seat where he can see.
03:20Hmm.
03:22I know what.
03:23I'll sit on Bert's lap.
03:26But what are you doing, Ernie?
03:28Ernie, get off my lap, Bert.
03:29Ernie, get off my lap.
03:31Shh, shh.
03:31Come on.
03:31I'm sorry.
03:33Come on.
03:34Now sit down and be quiet.
03:36But Bert, how am I going to see the movie, Bert?
03:37I don't...
03:38I can't think of anything, Bert.
03:40Look, Ernie, what is the trouble?
03:42I can't see the movie, Bert.
03:43What'll I do?
03:45Just...
03:45Uh, just ask the lady nicely.
03:48Please, lady, will you please take off your hat so I can see?
03:51Now leave me alone so I can watch the movie.
03:54Okay, Bert.
03:55Ah!
03:57Uh, excuse me, miss.
04:01Mm-hmm?
04:01Uh, lady?
04:02Mm-hmm?
04:02Uh, would you mind taking off your hat so I can see the movie?
04:04Oh, not at all.
04:06I'm sorry.
04:07That's very nice of you.
04:16Oh.
04:17Is that better?
04:19That's fine.
04:19Thank you very much.
04:23Thank you, too, Bert.
04:39Gina, that sure is a nice book.
04:42Oh, look, Ernestine.
04:44Here's a picture of Cousin Ernie when he went camping with Uncle Bert.
04:50Oh, listen to that.
04:53We don't hear that on Sesame Street.
04:56What do you think that is, Bert?
04:58Oh, Bert!
05:02Where am I?
05:03We're camping out, remember?
05:05Hey, listen, Bert.
05:06Oh, yeah.
05:11Bert?
05:13You don't hear that on Sesame Street.
05:15Do you know what that is, Bert?
05:17Ernie, I've just finished a five-mile hike.
05:21I need my sleep.
05:24Yeah, but it's fun to guess, Bert.
05:31An owl!
05:32An owl!
05:33That's what that is, Bert.
05:34That's an owl.
05:35You know how an owl goes.
05:37Owl goes, ooh, ooh, just like that.
05:39That's an owl, Bert.
05:40That's what that is.
05:43Ernie, please.
05:50And listen, there's something else.
05:56Hey, Bert, do you suppose that's a bird?
05:59Ernie, most of the birds are asleep.
06:05I wish I was a bird.
06:07I guess you're right, Bert.
06:10Well, if it's not a bird, what is it?
06:15Bert?
06:20Hmm?
06:22It's a cricket.
06:24It's a cricket, Ernie.
06:26Please go to sleep.
06:26It's a cricket.
06:27Oh, a cricket!
06:29Yes.
06:29Wow, you're a good guesser, Bert.
06:38Listen, there's something else.
06:41Bert, does that remind you of anybody we know?
06:45Hmm?
06:51It's a frog.
06:54It's a frog.
06:55Right, Bert.
06:56Yeah.
06:58I guess you're right, Bert.
06:59I guess that is a frog.
07:01It's a frog, all right.
07:04Gee, there are a lot of noises here.
07:07Huh.
07:10Why?
07:12Oh, great.
07:13Now I'm not sleepy.
07:14All I hear are those noises.
07:15Ernie, I could sleep before you pointed out those noises.
07:18Ernie?
07:20Ernie?
07:38I always bring this with me when I'm babysitting Ernestine.
07:41Oh.
07:41Did you ever do any babysitting, Big Bird?
07:44Yeah, once, sort of.
07:45My cousin Phoebe asked me to take care of her baby while she went to the mall.
07:49Hey.
07:50It's a big responsibility.
07:52Yeah.
07:52Were you nervous?
07:53No.
07:55So what did you do with Phoebe's baby?
07:56I sat on her.
07:58You what?
07:59You were supposed to be babysitting and you sat on the baby?
08:02Yeah, yes, yes, yes.
08:04You see, it was an egg.
08:06All I was supposed to do was keep the egg warm until Phoebe got back.
08:11Oh, an egg.
08:14Oh, look at this one, Big Bird.
08:15Do you remember this?
08:16This was the day Ernie had to call the doctor.
08:19What was wrong with me sitting on Phoebe's egg?
08:22Nothing, Big Bird.
08:24Look.
08:25Come in.
08:27Oh, hi there, doctor.
08:29Gee, thank you very much for coming over.
08:31Oh, sure thing, Ernie.
08:32Open your mouth.
08:33Yeah, but you see, doctor, I think I should...
08:35Ernie, open your mouth.
08:36Hmm?
08:36Yeah.
08:37Huh?
08:38Listen, Ernie, would you mind stepping over here into the light?
08:40Yeah, just right down here.
08:43Okay.
08:44Yeah, that's good.
08:45Right there.
08:46Fine.
08:46Let's see.
08:47Okay.
08:47Close your mouth, Ernie.
08:48Yes, but you see, doctor...
08:49How about your fingers?
08:50What about my fingers?
08:51Yeah.
08:51Can you wiggle your fingers, Ernie?
08:52Well, of course I can wiggle my fingers.
08:54Sure.
08:54How about the wrist now?
08:56My...
08:56Oh, yeah.
08:56I can wiggle my wrist, too.
08:58Good.
08:58Good.
08:58Sure.
08:59Okay.
08:59The arm?
09:00Yeah, but...
09:00Well, yeah, yeah, sure.
09:03My arm is fine, doc.
09:04Okay.
09:04But you see, that's not...
09:05Keep it okay, huh?
09:06How about the shoulder?
09:07Been throwing the old ball around too much, huh?
09:09No, no.
09:09My shoulder's fine, doc.
09:11But you see, that's not the reason that I should...
09:13Now, let's see.
09:15Twist your neck, Ernie.
09:16My neck?
09:17Like that?
09:17Twisting it like that?
09:18Fine, fine.
09:18Okay.
09:19Now, let's see the eyes.
09:20My eyes are fine, doc.
09:22Okay, right.
09:22Actually, there's nothing wrong with my eyes, you see.
09:24Okay.
09:25The reason that...
09:25I want to listen to your heart now, Ernie.
09:27But...
09:28Shh.
09:28But, doctor, I...
09:29Shh.
09:30All right.
09:32Good.
09:33Good.
09:35Okay.
09:35But you see, doctor, the reason that I...
09:36Now, let's see about your ears, Ernie, and your nose.
09:39My ears are okay, sure.
09:40My ears are okay.
09:40Sure, my ears are okay.
09:41And the nose.
09:41My nose.
09:42My nose.
09:43My nose is fine.
09:43Ernie, you're in fine shape.
09:45Why'd you call me?
09:46Hmm?
09:46I say you're in fine shape.
09:47Why'd you call me?
09:48I called you because my friend Bert has a tummy ache!
09:52Right this way.
09:54Okay, Bert.
09:55Open your mouth.
09:57Let me see another one of those pictures.
09:58Shh, shh, big bird.
09:59Look.
10:00Ernestine's asleep.
10:01Oh.
10:03Well, can I see another one?
10:05Please, please, please.
10:05Yeah, okay, okay.
10:06Let me see if I can find a quiet one.
10:08Oh, that one.
10:09That one.
10:10No, that one.
10:11No, no.
10:11Wait.
10:11That one.
10:12Here's the perfect one.
10:15Look.
10:16Shh.
10:17Good night, Bert.
10:20Hmm.
10:23Boy, look at that moon.
10:26Isn't that pretty?
10:28Did you ever think you might like to visit the moon?
10:31Well, I did.
10:40Well, I'd like to visit the moon
10:43On a rocket ship high in the air
10:48Yes, I'd like to visit the moon
10:52But I don't think I'd like to live there
10:56Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
11:00I would miss all the places and people I love
11:05So although I might like it for one afternoon
11:08I don't want to live on the moon
11:12I'd like to travel under the sea
11:17I could meet all the fish everywhere
11:21Yes, I'd travel under the sea
11:25But I don't think I'd like to live there
11:28I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
11:33But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish
11:38And an oyster and clam aren't real family
11:41So I don't want to live in the sea
11:45I'd like to visit the jungle
11:48Hear the lions roar
11:50Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
11:54There's so many strange places I'd like to be
11:58But none of them permanently
12:02So if I should visit the moon
12:06Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam
12:09And then I will make a wish on a star
12:14And I'll wish I was home once again
12:18Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
12:23I would miss all the places and people I love
12:27So although I may go
12:29I'll be coming home soon
12:33Cause I don't want to live on the moon
12:36No, I don't want to live on the moon
13:03Well, it looks like my babysitting job is going to be pretty easy today
13:06I'm not going to have to show them any more pictures for a while
13:09But you and I can still look through the Ernie and Bert book together
13:11You want to do that?
13:16Oh, this is my favorite
13:18This is when Ernie and Bert went all the way to Egypt
13:21And visited the pyramids there
13:28Wow
13:30Isn't this terrific, Ernie?
13:31A real Egyptian pyramid
13:35I don't know, Bert
13:36I'm afraid
13:37Afraid of what?
13:38I mean, this is wonderful
13:39Look at all the exciting new discoveries
13:42Yeah, look at all the knowledge here
13:44This pyramid is almost be centuries and thousands even of years old
13:49This is great
13:50Look at these hieroglyphics, all this funny writing
13:53It's pretty spooky to me, Bert
13:55Oh, boy, how exciting
13:57And look at this
13:58Look at this funny statue
14:00Oh, that's a pretty neat statue
14:02Now, this one's a handsome statue
14:04This is nice
14:05I think I prefer this one
14:07I don't know, counting for taste
14:10Why?
14:10Oh, boy
14:11Isn't this exciting?
14:13Well, I don't know, Bert
14:14I'm still...
14:15Let's go home
14:15Why?
14:17Well, because I'm kind of afraid, Bert
14:18Oh, Ernie, this is a wonderful opportunity
14:21We spent all this time getting here
14:23Come on, come on, follow me
14:24Okay?
14:25Let's look around some more
14:26Yeah, Bert?
14:27Oh, Ernie, look
14:28Look at this
14:29There's a spooky, dark tunnel here
14:31You want to join me?
14:32Well, I think I'll wait here, Bert
14:34Okay, I'll take a look
14:35Wow!
14:38Oh, dear
14:39Maybe Bert's right
14:41Maybe there isn't anything to be afraid of
14:43It's all in my imagination
14:45Well, I'll just look at these statues over here
14:50Look at that
14:58Bert?
14:59Bert?
15:00Did you tap me?
15:02Bert's not here
15:03Who tapped me?
15:06Bert?
15:09Bert!
15:10Oh, Bert!
15:11Bert!
15:11What?
15:12What?
15:12What, Ernie?
15:12What?
15:13What is it?
15:13What?
15:14What?
15:14What?
15:15What?
15:15This statue here, Bert
15:16Bert, this statue
15:17It tapped me, Bert
15:19This statue tapped you?
15:20It did, Bert
15:21It just tapped me, Bert
15:22This statue here made of stone
15:24Thousands of years old
15:25It tapped you?
15:26That's right, Bert
15:27Ernie
15:28Ernie
15:29Don't you think maybe
15:30You were using your imagination?
15:32Hmm?
15:33It didn't really tap you
15:34You were just imagining it?
15:35Hmm?
15:36Now, come on
15:36Leave me alone
15:37I'm going to go explore this tunnel
15:39Boy, oh boy
15:41Hmm?
15:42Maybe I just
15:43Maybe it was
15:44Maybe it was my imagination
15:46Maybe
15:46Sure, it was
15:47It was my imagination
15:48I'm sure
15:49It was my imagination
15:50That statue didn't
15:51You didn't tap me
15:52Did you, statue?
15:53Sure I did
15:54You were using you
15:57Bert!
15:57Oh, Bert!
15:59What, what, Ernie?
16:00What is it?
16:00What, what, what, what?
16:06The statue just talked to me, Bert
16:08The what?
16:09The statue
16:10It talked to me, Bert
16:11The statue that tapped you before
16:13Now it talked to you?
16:14It talked to me, Bert
16:14Oh, it talked to you?
16:15It talked to me
16:15Oh, well, let it talk then
16:17Come on, let's talk
16:18Come on, statue, talk
16:19What, what's the capital of Delaware?
16:23Okay, um
16:24Go ahead, statue
16:25Say something, Bert
16:26Go ahead, go ahead
16:26Where do I park my bicycle?
16:28Huh?
16:29It, it did talk to me, Bert
16:30Ernie, come here
16:31What?
16:33Don't you think
16:35Maybe, maybe
16:36That was your imagination, too?
16:38Maybe you let your imagination
16:39Just run away from you
16:41Because you were so scared
16:43Maybe, Bert
16:44Okay, good
16:44Why don't you maybe sing a song?
16:46Hmm?
16:46That'll make you feel better
16:47Huh?
16:48Yeah, Bert?
16:49Yeah
16:49Yeah, you won't be that scared then
16:50Okay?
16:51Okay, Bert
16:57Robert, Ducky
16:59You're the one
17:00You make best time
17:03What?
17:04What?
17:04Robert, Ducky
17:06I'm awfully fond of you
17:13Whoa
17:15Oh, Bert
17:29April, Ducky
17:30Hey, Bert
17:31Hey, Bert
17:32What are you doing?
17:34What are you doing?
17:35Me and the statue are dancing, Bert
17:37The statue's a great dancer, too.
17:40The statue's dancing now.
17:42Well, it was, Bert.
17:43It was dancing.
17:44It was dancing, and it was singing, too, Bert.
17:47Ernie, why don't we just go home?
17:50The statue knows Rubber Ducky, Bert.
17:51Sure, sure. Come on.
17:52We were dancing. Honest, we were, Bert.
17:53Sure, we'll just take a rest, Ernie.
17:54Come on. Let's go home. That's it.
17:56Oh, okay, Bert.
17:56Sure.
17:57The statue really...
17:58Mm-hmm.
17:59Bye-bye, statue.
18:01Yeah, uh, bye-bye, statue.
18:04Bye-bye.
18:07Ernie!
18:15Oh, look, Ernestine.
18:17There's your cousin Ernie at the Practical Jokers Convention in Las Vegas.
18:22Oh, and here he's taking Rubber Ducky to the Ducky Daycare Center.
18:29Oh, here he is at the National Association of W-lovers.
18:36Well, because Bert belongs to the Association, so Ernie went with him to the meeting.
18:42Oh, lots of things.
18:46They talk about things that begin with the letter W, and they write Ws on the blackboard,
18:52and they sing songs about the letter W. Stuff like that.
18:55Big Bird, can you really understand what Ernestine's saying?
18:59No.
19:01But it sounded like you were answering her questions.
19:03Well, I just think up what questions she would ask if she were old enough to talk,
19:08and then I answer those.
19:11Sure.
19:22All right, all right, all right, everybody, settle down.
19:27Come on now, now.
19:29Welcome to the weekly meeting of the National Association of W-lovers.
19:35We are gathered here today to pay tribute to that great letter W,
19:41and the wondrous sound it makes.
19:45Isn't that lovely?
19:47Yeah, it makes the heart sound faster.
19:51All right, now, if you'll all turn to page four in the manual,
19:54we will sing the club song.
19:57All right, turn to page four.
19:59That's it.
19:59All right, now, everybody ready?
20:01Here we go.
20:03I'll begin. You can join in later. Here we go.
20:08Ah, what is that letter we love?
20:12What sound are we extra fond of?
20:16It's not any trouble, you know it's a W
20:20When you hear woo-woo-woo-woo-woo
20:23Without this fine letter, you couldn't say wash
20:27Or witch wax or wiggle. My gosh.
20:30Huh. There wouldn't be wet, warm, or walrus.
20:34Oh, wow. There wouldn't be wood, would there now?
20:37Uh-uh. Without this great woo sound, well, wink would be ink
20:42And weak would be eek. Don't you see?
20:45Of course. A fine word like waffle would turn out just awful.
20:49Oh, W's grand as can be.
20:52All right, everybody.
20:55So what is the letter we love?
20:58Of the sound that we're extra fond of?
21:02It's not any trouble, you know it's a W
21:06When you hear woo-woo-woo-woo-woo
21:09One more time!
21:10When you hear woo-woo-woo-woo-woo
21:13Oh, wow. That was wonderful.
21:19Oh, Ernestine, remember this?
21:23Okay.
21:25Uh, Bert?
21:26Hmm?
21:26Uh, this may seem like a ridiculous question, but what are you doing?
21:29Oh, I'm teaching Bernice here how to play checkers.
21:32Your move, Bernice. Bernice, your move.
21:34You're teaching a pigeon to play checkers?
21:36Mm-hmm.
21:36Why, that's amazing. That's the most incredible thing I've ever heard of.
21:40Oh, and it's no big deal.
21:42No big deal?
21:43Mm-hmm.
21:43Why, a pigeon that can play checkers, that must be the smartest pigeon in the whole world.
21:49Well, she's really not that smart, Ernie.
21:52Not that smart? Bert, how can you say that?
21:55Well, in the ten games we've played, she's only beaten me twice.
22:01Okay, Bernice, go ahead. Your move.
22:06Oh, why are you crying, little Ernestine?
22:10Do you want your bottle?
22:13Maybe she needs to be changed, Gina.
22:15No, I don't think so.
22:16Well, what do you think she wants?
22:18I don't know.
22:20Wait a second. Wait a second.
22:23Ernestine, Ernestine.
22:25Look, Ernestine.
22:26Look.
22:33How did I know?
22:38Hey, Bert.
22:44What is it, Ernie?
22:46You know, Bert, I just remembered.
22:48I didn't put away all my toys.
22:50I left a big mess in the other room.
22:52Do you think I should get up and clean that stuff up now?
22:55Well, Ernie, it's time to go to sleep now.
22:57You can do that in the morning.
23:00Yeah.
23:01It's pretty messy in there, Bert.
23:04Well, Ernie, you're just a little messy.
23:07I've learned that.
23:09I'm used to it.
23:10Let's go to sleep.
23:12You know, Bert, you're a real friend.
23:16I'm messy, and you don't like it messy.
23:18But because I'm your friend, you don't mind too much if I'm messy.
23:24Well, not too much, Ernie.
23:27Let's just go to sleep.
23:30But that's what a friend is, Bert.
23:33I mean, not minding too much because you like someone.
23:37That's a friend, Bert.
23:39A pal.
23:40Not minding.
23:41That's what friends are for.
23:42I am messy.
23:45Really messy.
23:46But you don't mind if I am messy.
23:49If I'm messy, you don't mind it.
23:53That's what friends are for.
23:56You like pigeons?
23:57I love them.
23:59Well, I don't mind if you like pigeons.
24:02If you like them, I don't mind it.
24:06That's what friends are for.
24:08Or friends, help you put away your toys.
24:13Help, I do it alone mostly, Ernie.
24:15De-dee-doo, friends, don't mind if you make a little noise.
24:21A little noise?
24:22Like what?
24:23Like this, Bert.
24:27You didn't mind that, did you, Bert, old pal?
24:30Oh, not much.
24:33Ernie, I'm tired.
24:34I'm really tired.
24:37You're tired, Bert.
24:39Well, that's okay, old buddy.
24:41You see, I don't mind if you're tired, because you're my friend.
24:44You can be tired if you want to.
24:46You are tired?
24:48Really tired?
24:49Well, I don't mind if you are tired.
24:53If you're tired, I don't mind it.
24:56That's what friends are for.
24:58I'm going to sleep anyway.
24:59Friends always lend a helping, and do-do-dee-doo, do-do-dee-doo.
25:06Friends are the kind of friends that understand, and they don't mind it.
25:15Right, Bert?
25:17Bert?
25:18He's sleeping.
25:20Well, I don't mind if he's sleeping, because he's my friend, because that's what friends
25:24are for.
25:25Bert?
25:26It's okay if you're sleeping, Bert.
25:27I don't mind, Bert.
25:28Bert, it's okay.
25:30What is okay?
25:33You are sleeping, really sleeping, but I don't mind if you are sleeping.
25:39Sleeping?
25:40If you're sleeping, I don't mind it.
