- Oh, Ernie?
I'm going to the store now to get our food for supper.
- Oh good, Bert.
I'll be right here when you get back.
- Oh good, because see, I don't know where my keys are,
and I'm sure I'll find them later,
it's just that I wanna go shopping now.
And you'll be here, right?
- Oh, yeah.
- Well good, when I come back, I'll be outside
the door, and you can listen for me, and let me in.
- Listen Bert, would you like to borrow my keys?
'Cause I could go and get 'em for you?
- Oh no, that's okay, Ernie.
Ernie, I don't want to disturb your reading.
- Oh, that's nice, Bert.
- You just listen for me, okay?
- Righty-o, Bert.
- Okay, fine.
I mean, I'll just ring the bell or I'll knock on the door,
or something, and then just let me in, okay?
- No trouble Bert, old buddy, I will be listening.
- Okay.
Maybe we should practice, hmm?
- Bert?
- Yeah, I tell you what.
I'll pretend like I'm going to the store now.
I won't be really going to the store,
but I'll pretend I will.
And I'll knock and do things,
and then you listen for me, - Bert.
- and let me in, - No, no, no.
- and then I'll know it's okay.
- Listen, don't worry, Bert.
I'll be listening, you see?
You don't have to practice.
You can just count on me, Bert.
- Okay.
I trust you.
- Thank you, Bert.
- Okay, fine.
So you'll be listening, right?
- I will, Bert.
- Okay, fine.
Then, I'm gonna get some food for supper.
- [Ernie] Okay.
- And you'll be listening.
- [Ernie] Sure.
- Okay! - Okay.
- [Bert] Bye! - Bye!
Boy, it sure is nice to have a
friend who will go get food for supper.
- Let's see.
Door's closed.
Ernie's inside.
Going to the store.
I know what I wanna get.
Oh, I forgot my money.
Oh, I'm gonna have to get Ernie to open the door for me now.
- Yup.
Bert is off to go shopping, and when he gets back,
I'll be listening.
- Ernie?
Ernie?
Ernie, will you let me in?
- Did you hear that?
That sounded like Bert.
Why, he must have decided he wants to practice after all.
So, that he'll be sure I'll be listening when he gets back.
I hear you, Bert!
I'm listening!
- Good, Ernie.
Will you please let me in now?
- That sounds great, Bert.
Don't worry, I'm listening.
I'll let you in when you get back.
- Ernie!
I want you to let me in now.
Please!
- [Ernie] Bert, if you just call like that,
when you get back, that'll be fine, Bert.
- Ernie!
(Bert knocks on the door)
This is me, knocking on the door and yelling,
because I want you to let me in.
- That's great, Bert.
Knocking on the door and yelling together.
Okay, I'm listening, Bert.
That's fine.
That's enough practice, Bert.
- Aaaagh!
Ernie, this is me kicking,
kicking on the door, and yelling,
and losing my patience, and telling you to let me in!
- [Ernie] Terrific, Bert.
That's enough!
- Argh!
Ernie!
(rings the doorbell)
Ernie!
Ernie, let me in!
I'm losing my temper.
I want you to let me in.
Now!
- How 'bout that?
Now he's ringing the doorbell, and knocking, and yelling.
Okay, Bert!
That's enough.
Practice makes perfect.
Enough is enough!
- Ernie, let me in!
Let me in, I can't take it!
Let me in, let me in, let me in, let me in,
let me in, let me in!
(Bert screams) - Oy, that Bert.
He's really practicing until he gets it right.
I'll have to tell him he's doing it good enough.
- Ernie!
Ernie!
Let me in, let me--
(Bert pants)
- Bert?
That was really great practicing, Bert.
I was listening.
I heard your voice calling.
I heard you knocking.
I heard you kicking the door.
I heard you ringing the doorbell.
And all of that works just fine.
It's gonna be great when you get back from the store.
- But Ernie-- - But now,
while you go shopping, Bert,
I'm gonna take a nice long bath with Rubber Ducky,
and then I will sit down, and listen for you
to come back from the store, okay?
- But Ernie, I haven't even got--
- I'll see you later, Bert!
- But, Ernie!
I'm gonna move out.
(silly orchestral music)
- See, right here, we have the
different symbols of the weather.
- Different symbols?
- Yes, right.
Now, this thing here,
that's the sun.
You see that?
That's the sun.
- [Cookie Monster] That look like cookie.
- No, it's not a cookie.
It's the sun.
- You sure that not cookie?
- No, no, it's not a cookie.
It's the sun! - Okay.
