Bert: (reading an oatmeal recipe book, Cooking With Oatmeal)
You take four cups of oatmeal...two pitted mangoes...
Ernie: Hey Bert!
B: ...buttermilk...
E: Hey Bert! It`s time for the rhyming game Bert!
B: Oh, no Ernie, thanks, I don`t want to play a game, I`m reading my book.
E: Oh, but you`ll love this game, Bert! See all you have to do is, you say something, and then I`ll say something that rhymes with what you just said!
B: Uh-huh, yeah, but I really don`t want to play a game.
E: Maybe not Bert, but we`ll do it all the same!
You see that, you said game and I said same, and game and same both rhyme!
B: Yeah, uh-uh, rhyme, I know. But Ernie, it`s just not what I want to do.
E: Wiggle your finger, and waggle your shoe!
(drums start)
B: Uh, Ernie, I`d much rather sit and read my book.
E: With ears you hear, and with eyes you look!`
B: Now come on Ernie, cut this out.
E: Easy old buddy, no need to shout!
B: I don`t want to play a game with rhymes!
E: Nice going Bert, oh ring my chimes!
B: I don`t wanna do it!
E: There`s really nothing to it!
B: It`s so silly.
E: A boy named Billy.
B: Stop it, please!
E: A dog has fleas!
B: Oh!
E: Mow!
B: Ernie, please this has got to stop!
E: Some people like to jump and hop!
B: I don`t wanna do it (Ernie interrupts)any more.
E: What what hmmm? (I like this part because here Jim H. messed up and they were able to recover wonderfully)
B: What what hmmm?! I don`t want to do it anymore!
E: Oh. One and two and three and four.
B: Ernie!
E: Bernie!
B: Stop it!
E: Mop it!
B: Stop!
E: Flop!
B: No!
E: Flow!
B: Mmmmmmm....Hippopotamus!
E: Ahhhhh...rhipototopus!
B: Egh! Alright, alright! I give up!
E: Eat from a plate and drink from a cup!
B: I guess I`ll just have to play along.
E: It plays like a game and sings like a song!
B: You may be right, I may be wrong.
E: A clock goes tick and a bell goes bong.
B: This game is really kinda kicky!
E: Sugar`s sweet and glue is sticky.
B: Yeah, water is wet and dust is dry!
E: Dogs gotta walk and birds gotta fly!
B: It`s a great kind of game to play with a friend!
E: And now old buddy we`ve come to the end!
(drums stop)
B: Yah! You`re right Ernie, that`s a great game ... you (still in rhythm)
E: Ah...w-well Bert see, I think I`m gonna go read my book now, okay? Hmm hmm hmm...
B: ...... Hey there lamp, that`s a nice shade .... you .... it`s not the same.
