Here’s an oldie that I hope will soon be posted in English:
Actually, this is only Part Two of this sketch. In Part One, Bert holds a number 4 and asks Ernie if he knows what it is. Ernie says it’s a chocolate pie. Bert decides to show a film about the number 4 so Ernie can get a clue.
Here’s a rough translation of Part Two. Tell me if I’m anywhere near right...
Bert [
holding up the number 4]: Okay, Ernie, now do you know what this is?
Ernie: Yeah, yeah, of course! That’s a cream pie.
Bert: If this is a cream pie [
puts down the 4 and holds up a cream pie], then what is this?
Ernie: That? That's a 4! [
Laughs.]
[
At that, Bert pushes the pie into Ernie’s face.]
Ernie [
to camera]: I knew it was a pie. But who wants to be hit in the face with a number 4? Yum!
