Today's show was written entirely by Bert, and was directed by Bert, and stars none other then our old friend Bert. If the play was just wonderful, you can thank Bert, but if the play was horrible, you have no one but Bert to blame.
Bert : [after appearing from behind the curtain] Prairie, will you stop that? Just go to the piano and start the play!

Bert : [Bert has reluctantly agreed to have Ernie give him a haircut...] Ernie. I'm bald.
Ernie : Um... well, I wouldn't say that, Bert.

[explodes]
Bert : No, but it's true!
Ernie : Well, I know it's true, I just wouldn't say it, Bert.
Bert : [hysterical] You cut all my hair off!
Ernie : Yes, well, I 'm sorry about that...
Bert : Ernie!
Ernie : But, but it will grow back again, you know...

Bert : It'll take a *month* for it to grow back, Ernie!
Ernie : [plaintively] A whole month?
Bert : A whole month! What are you gonna do about it?
Ernie : Uh... Bert! I have just the thing for you. Just a second.
[ducks off screen]
Bert : Oh, my hair.
Ernie : [reappears carrying a large book] Here you go, Bert.
Bert : What is that, a book?
Ernie : Mm-hmm.

Grover : Gladly, sir. If you do not mind waiting.
Fat Blue : Waiting? Waiting for what?
Grover : 'Til I get my car fixed. It is broken.
Fat Blue : I can't wait 'til your car is fixed. I'm in a hurry!
Grover : Oh alright, sir, if you are going to be difficult.

Fat Blue : Oh no, it's you!
Grover : Yes it is I, your furry blue taxi driver. What can I do for you, sir?
Fat Blue : I want to go to the library.
Grover : Oh a very wise choice. The library is a wonderful place with books to read and you can listen to records like "The Air is Alive with the Sound of Music."
Fat Blue : I know that. Let's go.
Grover : You know you can take home books from the library too, if you bring them back of course.
Fat Blue : I know. That's why I'm going there.
Grover : Of course you could also go to the zoo.
Fat Blue : I don't want to go to the zoo!
Grover : Why? There are lions and tigers there. And the lions go Rrrrroar! And do not forget the monkeys, they are so cute, they go "Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!" And you can buy a balloon there.
Fat Blue : I don't wanna hear "Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!" I don't want a balloon, I want to go to the library!
