I HAVE A NICE, QUIET SPOT FOR YOU.

BERT: YOU DO?

ALAN: YEAH.

COME ON.

BERT: OH, WATCH THE BED LEGS, ALAN.

THEY KIND OF STICK OUT A LITTLE.

ERNIE: OHH, BOY, I MISS OLD BUDDY BERT.

I CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHY HE GOT SO ANGRY.

CURLY: WELL, MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE YOU PLAYED THE TRUMPET AND KEPT HIM FROM NA-A-A-A-APPING.

BLACK SHEEP: AND BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT US IN.

ERNIE: BUT I NEVER THOUGHT OLD BUDDY BERT WOULD GET THIS ANGRY.

DOES IT MEAN WE CAN’T BE FRIENDS ANYMORE?

WHITE SHEEP: OF COURSE YOU CAN STILL BE FRIENDS.

ERNIE: WE CAN?

BLACK SHEEP: SURE.

WHEN I HAVE A FIGHT WITH MY FRIEND CURLY HERE, I THINK ABOUT WHAT I DID AND HOW I MADE HER FEEL, AND THEN I TELL HER I’M SORRY LIKE THIS.

BAA BAAAA.

ERNIE: AND WHAT DID YOU SAY?

BLACK SHEEP: OH, I SAID, "I’M SORRY I MADE YOU ANGRY "AND WE GOT IN A FIGHT.

I WON’T DO IT AGAIN.

CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS?"

CURLY: BAAA BAA BAA BAAA.

BAA BAA BAA BAA BAA BAAAA.

BAA BAA BAA BAA, BAA BAAA.

ERNIE: AH, AND WHAT DID SHE SAY?

BLACK SHEEP: YES.

ERNIE: WOW!

THAT GIVES ME AN IDEA.

I SHOULD GO AND FIND BERT AND TELL HIM I’M SORRY, TOO.

WHITE SHEEP: I THINK THAT’S A GREAT IDEA.

ERNIE: OH, HERE I COME, BERT.

BLACK SHEEP: GO GET HIM, ERNIE.

WHITE SHEEP: YEAH.
