Hmm, what's that?

Do you need an extra blanket?

- No, I'm fine, Ernie.

- Okay. All right.

Here you go.

There you go.

Have a good night.

Hmm?

You want a Teddy bear?

Oh, that's so sweet.

Sure, here's one for you.

There you go.

Have a good night now.

- Ernie, Ernie. Ernie?

- Yeah?

- Are you okay? - I'm fine, Bert.

- Who are you talking to?

- Oh, I'm talking to a dinosaur, Bert.

- A dinosaur.

- Yep, a dinosaur.

- Ernie, you know there are no dinosaurs in our bedroom.

- Oh, don't be silly Bert.

Of course I know that.

That's why I'm imagining a dinosaur here in the bedroom.

- Oh, you're imagining a dinosaur.

- That's right. - Okay. Fine tonight.

- You know, it's a lot of fun, Bert.

- Fine. - Yeah.

I mean, first you have to think really hard

about the dinosaur, you know, and ooh!

A tall dinosaur.

Yes.

A tall dinosaur with blue skin.

A tall blue dinosaur with pink polka dots. (chuckles)

And then Bert,

then you have yourself one great imaginary dinosaur.

- Fine, Ernie, fine.

Now go to sleep, okay?

- Oh, no, Bert.

You know, I think you should give it a try.

- No, not me. - Come on Bert.

Give it a try, please.

Please Bert.

Please imagine a dinosaur Bert, please.

- Fine, fine. Fine, fine.

Ernie, Ernie, if I imagine a dinosaur

will you please let me go to sleep?

- Sure, Bert. - Fine, okay.

Imagination, okay.

I imagine a dinosaur imagining a dinosaur

imagining a dinosaur.

Here I go.

Imagine a dinosaur, imagining a dinosaur.

- [Ernie] So what does it look like, Bert?

- It's kind of fuzzy, Ernie.

- Fuzzy? - Yeah.

- Hmm.

Well, I think you probably need to imagine harder, Bert.

- Oh, Ernie.

- You know, put more effort into it.

- Fine. Fine.

Okay. Fine, fine, fine.

Okay. Imagining a, a dinosaur.

He's big. - That's good.

- He is big. - Harder, Bert.

- And he has a long neck.

- [Ernie] You're not doing it hard enough, Bert.

- I'm trying! - Push push push!

- He has a long neck.

- [Ernie] Bert.

Well Bert?

- Nothing.

- Nothing? - Nothing.

- I guess you just need more practice at imagination, Bert.

- Maybe you're right.

- Okay. Well, good night Bert.

- Goodnight, goodnight Ernie.

I was never really good at imagining.

You know that, you're good at it.

I mean, I'd love to imagine maybe a, a big dinosaur

an orange dinosaur with maybe a long neck.

No, I'm just, I don't do that very good.

What, Ernie?

- Excuse me!

- What Ernie?

- Hey hey!

(Bert yells)

Did you imagine a big orange dinosaur with a long neck?

- I did, I did!

- Well here I am!

- Oh boy!

I also imagined that you liked bottle caps.

- Ooh, I do.

- Oh boy!

And pigeons.

- Oh, yeah.

- Well imagine that!

- You just did.

- Oh yeah.
