Sesame Street1969

Bert:
[Bert has reluctantly agreed to have Ernie give him a haircut... ] Ernie. I'm bald.

Ernie:
Um... well, I wouldn't say that, Bert.

Bert:
You wouldn't say that? [explodes] No, but it's true!

Ernie:
Well, I know it's true, I just wouldn't say it, Bert.

Bert:
[hysterical] You cut all my hair off!

Ernie:
Yes, well, I 'm sorry about that...

Bert:
Ernie!

Ernie:
But, but it will grow back again, you know...

Bert:
My hair!

Ernie:
- that's one of the great things about hair, you know.

Bert:
It'll take a *month* for it to grow back, Ernie!

Ernie:
[plaintively] A whole month?

Bert:
A whole month! What are you gonna do about it?

Ernie:
Uh... Bert! I have just the thing for you. Just a second. [ducks off screen]

Bert:
Oh, my hair.

Ernie:
[reappears carrying a large book] Here you go, Bert.

Bert:
What is that, a book?

Ernie:
Mm-hmm. [places it on the ledge in front of them]

Bert:
A book won't make my hair grow faster.

Ernie:
No, but it'll give you something to do while you're waiting. [snickers and runs off screen]

Bert:
Errnieee!
