Bert: Hey Ernie! Hey Ern..
Ernie: Hey there, Bert.
Bert: Hi. Listen the radio is playing soft and then loud. Something wrong?
Ernie: That`s the volume control, Bert. See this little button here? That`s the volume control.
Bert: Yeah, you`re the one that`s doin that, huh?
Ernie: And when I turn the knob this way, it makes the radio play louder.
Bert: Yeah, I know. See, I`m tryin to read over there...
Ernie: And then Bert, when I turn the knob this way, it makes the radio play softer.
Bert: Good, I like it just that way Ernie, soft.
Ernie: But I think, I think I like most of all, is when I turn the radio up loud.
Bert: Ernie! Ernie! That`s too loud. You`re making the radio play very very loudly!
Ernie: Bert, don`t yell, I`m tryin to listen to the radio!
Bert: I will yell Ernie! I will yell! I have every right to yell! I`ll yell and yell and yell because I can`t hear myself any other way!
(Ernie turns off the radio)
Bert: Ernie! Now, you really do not care if I want some peace and quiet do you?
Ernie: I wonder what would happen if I took the knob off this radio...
Bert: You know you really have no consideration for people, do you?
Ernie: C`mere Bert.
Bert: What`re you doing?
Ernie: I`m gonna put the volume control on you.
Bert: Wha! I am not a radio, Ernie! Now cut that out!
Ernie: And now I think I`ll turn the volume a little lower...
Bert: (In a softer voice) You know you cannot do that to people, they wanna talk, they`re not radios. And I wanna talk and I`ll tell you one thing....
(Ernie turns the volume up)
Bert: (In a louder voice) I have been trying to read over there! I have been trying to read for so long.......
(Ernie turns the volume down)
Bert: (In a softer voice) And I hear the radio going up and down, up and down, up and down. And I don`t want that. I want.....
(Ernie turns Bert off)
Ernie: Keeheeheehee.
(Ernie leaves Bert there with his mouth flapping and no sound coming out)
