B: *yawn* Oh boy...It`s time for nap...am I tired *yawn*
(Bert gets all comfortable in bed and begins to snore)
E: Bert! Oh Bert! Ol` buddy Bert? Hey Bert..Where are ya Bert?
(sees Bert in bed)
Oh! Mmmm...You know it is just possible that my old buddy Bert is asleep.
For one thing, he`s lying down, which he usually does when he is asleep.
For another thing his eyes are closed..yeah.
And for another thing, he`s not answering me when I talk.
So old buddy Bert is probably asleep, but I will check just to make sure.
(pokes Bert)
Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke!
Note how I can poke old buddy Bert is the stomach and he doesn`t complain.
Now when old buddy Bert is awake and I poke him in the stomach, he complains.
(sees Bert`s arm)
Oh looky here. Note how floppy and soggy-like old buddy Bert`s arm is.
When old buddy Bert is awake, he`s not floppy and soggy like.
So, I am quite certain that old buddy Bert is very definitely asleep.
And....(Bert rolls over with eyes open) On the other hand...Now his eyes are open!
My old buddy Bert`s eyes are usually open only when he is awake,
so he`s probably awake, but I will check just to make sure.
Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke!
B: Now cut that out!
E: See, I was right he`s awake!
B: Ernie!
E: Yeah?
B: Why did you wake me up?
E: Did I wake you up old buddy?
B: Yes you did!
E: See, I was right, first he was asleep and now he is awake.
B: Ernie, why`d you wake me up?
E: Uh...Oh!..uh...because I have something very important to tell you.
B: What`s that?
E: Well, you see I just looked at the clock.
B: So?
E: It`s time for your nap.
B: Ahhhhh!
E: Well, sleep tight. Mmmm..Mmmmmm
