ERNIE: [SINGING] Every night when I lie in bed--
BERT: Ah, oh, no.
ERNIE: --I see pictures dancing in my head.
BERT: Picture sleep.
ERNIE: Buddy, Bert.
BERT: What?
ERNIE: Buckle up and we'll fly away.
BERT: Whoa!
ERNIE: Yeah, we're aventurin' every time the bed starts
nappin'.
Something special's gonna happen.
BERT: [LAUGHING] This is kind of catchy.
ERNIE: My favorite kind of travelin'.
BERT AND ERNIE: [SINGING] Yeah, we're adventuring.
Come along with Bert and Ernie.
We're gonna take a little journey-- Bert and Ernie's
great adventures.
BERT: [SPEAKING] Look at all those wonderful seagulls,
Ernie.
They're the pigeons of the sea.
ERNIE: [SPEAKING] Bert, I just saw the biggest fish ever.
BERT: That's nice.
Here, gully, gully.
ERNIE: Whoa, the big fish is a mermaid.
BERT: Ernie, the only big thing around here
is your imagination.
ERNIE: But I saw her, Bert.
There she is, look!
BERT: Ernie, there's no such thing as mermaids.
ERNIE: Yes, there is, Bert.
I'll go get her and prove it to you.
ETHEL MERMAID: Ahh!
Ahh!
ERNIE: Where'd she go?
ETHEL MERMAID: Ahh!
Hi, there.
I'm Ethel Mermaid.
ERNIE: I'm Ernie.
Hey, it's great to meet you.
ETHEL MERMAID: Want to play some more hide and seek?
ERNIE: Sure.
ETHEL MERMAID: OK, tag-- yay, huh.
BERT: Whoa.
SKIPPER: [HUMMING]
BERT: Hey, you scared away the seagull.
SKIPPER: Yeah, well, you're in my parking space.
BERT: Your space?
The ocean's humongous.
SKIPPER: Then why don't you go someplace else?
BERT: Look here, I was having a nice, lovely time,
and then you came along, and-- Hey, cut that out!
The ocean isn't a trash dump.
SKIPPER: Oh, go back to feeding pigeons.
BERT: They were seagulls.
SKIPPER: Whatever, mm.
ETHEL MERMAID: [LAUGHING] Oh, gotcha.
ERNIE: [LAUGHING].
ETHEL MERMAID: Hey, you're pretty cool, Ernie.
ERNIE: Aw, you too, Ethel Mermaid, but, you know,
my buddy Bert doesn't believe you exist.
Would you swim up to the surface so he can meet you?
ETHEL MERMAID: Sure thing-- race you to the top.
ERNIE: OK.
ETHEL MERMAID: Oh.
ERNIE: Bert, you're about to believe in mermaids,
'cause here's Ethel.
BERT: Where, Ernie?
ERNIE: Gee, she was right behind me a second ago.
ETHEL MERMAID: Help!
ERNIE: Uh-oh, sounds like Ethel's in trouble.
Come on, Bert, we've got to help her.
ETHEL MERMAID: Help!
BERT: Huh?
But, Ernie, wait!
I'm coming.
A mermaid!
ERNIE: Hurry, Bert, help me.
You pull on that end, and I'll pull on this, OK?
BERT: Right.
ERNIE: One, two-- pull.
ETHEL MERMAID: Ow, ow, ow!
BERT: Wow, a mermaid!
I didn't think there was such a thing.
ETHEL MERMAID: Well, here I am, and I'm stuck!
ERNIE: Come on, Bert, think-- what else can we do?
Nothing is working.
BERT: I have an idea, Ernie.
Don't go anywhere.
ETHEL MERMAID: Where am I going to go?
BERT: Hey, you, there's a mermaid down there stuck
on a piece of your trash.
SKIPPER: [LAUGHING] Yeah, right.
ETHEL MERMAID: Help!
SKIPPER: What was that?
BERT: The mermaid, and she's in trouble because of you.
ETHEL MERMAID: Help!
SKIPPER: Huh, she is?
Gee, I had no idea.
BERT: Well, there's something you can do to help.
If we hook your anchor to that piece of plastic,
maybe you can pull it off with your boat.
SKIPPER: Just say when.
ERNIE: That should do it.
We're ready.
BERT: Let's give the signal.
Help me tug on the anchor line, Ernie.
ERNIE: OK.
ETHEL MERMAID: I'm free!
SKIPPER: Is that the last of the trash?
ETHEL MERMAID: [SINGING] Yes, it is!
ERNIE: Thanks for helping us clean all this up, Skipper.
BERT: And for taking it back to the dump, where it belongs.
SKIPPER: Boy, I'll never throw trash in the ocean again.
ETHEL MERMAID: And never say [SINGING] there's no mermaids.
SKIPPER: Oh, whoah, you better believe it.
[LAUGHING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ERNIE: Good night, Bert.
BERT: Good night, Ernie.
[THUMPING]
Uh-oh.
[CLOCK TICKING]
ERNIE: Hey, well, what do you know?
A little crabby is welcoming us.
Hi, little crabby.
[GULP]
BERT: Hey!
ERNIE: Oops!
BERT: Now what?
