Bert (writing a letter with a pencil): Dear Mister Rogers, I wish you would send me ...
Ernie (entering): Boy, it`s a hot one today, Bert! (Bert doesn`t answer) Bert? Oh, he`s writing a letter. I won`t bother him. (Louder) I won`t bother you, Bert! (Bert looks up, sighs, and continues writing) I`ll just get the electric fan and turn on some cool air. (Gets the fan and turns it on) Oh, there, that`s better. (Pause) If some cool air feels good, I`ll bet more cool air would feel even better. (Turns it on higher; it`s starting to get really breezy now!) Oh, the more air this fan blows, the cooler I feel. I bet if I turned it on all the way, it`d get really cool! (Does so, and papers start blowing around everywhere.) Oh, wow!
Bert: Ernie! The fan! Turn it off!
Ernie: What`s that, Bert?
Bert: Turn the fan off!
Ernie: I can`t hear you, Bert!
Bert: I said, TURN THE FAN OFF!
Ernie: TURN THE FAN OFF?
Bert: TURN THE FAN OFF!
Ernie: Oh, okay. (Turns it off)
Bert: Ernie ...
Ernie: Yes, Bert?
Bert: WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? I HAVE BEEN SITTING OVER THERE, TRYING TO WRITE A LETTER, AND ALL YOU DO IS BOTHER ME WITH THAT FAN! I AM SO HOT AND BOTHERED!
Ernie: You`re hot and bothered, Bert?
Bert: YES, I AM HOT AND BOTHERED!
Ernie: Oh, I have just the thing for someone who`s hot and bothered.
Bert: What`s that?
Ernie: Cool air, Bert! (Turns the fan on all the way. Papers blow around, and Bert starts yelling.)
