gets the hurricane lamp out How hard du yu think der hurricane will hit us?
To be honest Chef , think we'll just be hit with some rain and that's it. The newscasters scare the poop out of us for nothing. A few years ago with Hurricane Earl they kept saying "Look Out!! Look Out!!" And all we got was just some bad rain .
Robin: Sounds kinda like the story "Chicken Little" .You know "The sky is falling!"
Yeah! Good comparison Robin!
Prairie: But hopefully not like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"
Prairie!!
: You think we should tape up the windows just in case?
You want to be the one to take all that tape off the windows?That stuff is murder to get off!
: Kathy...I think Rowlfie is right. Better to be safe than sorry..
OK..we'll put tape on the windows. I know that it's hitting Ed. I hope he's doing OK.

(The "pigeons" just about stop flying around Bert's head as he comes to.)

Ernie: Bert, are you okay?
Bert: Ernie...
Ernie: Oh, Bert! I'm so glad you're okay! Gosh I feel awful. Maybe we should wear these helmets. (He holds up typical mining helmets with a light on the front)
Bert: Ernie...why didn't we wear these before?
Ernie: Well, I couldnt find them. It's dark in these caves, Bert.
Bert: (sigh)
Ernie: They were in the backpack.
Bert: Well, whatever. Let's just put them on and keep going. You know where we're going?
Ernie: Trust me, Bert!

 

[BEAR 2]

(In darkness, with the exception of the bit of light from their helmets...)

Bert: I feel like we've been digging forever. Hey, Ernie, what's that?!

Ernie: I dunno...

(They say just a bit of light shining in the near distance.)

Bert: I think we found our way out!

Ernie: just a little dig...

(They find themselves above ground alright.)

Ernie: This place looks familiar. There's Hooper's Store!

Bert: Ernie, we're on Sesame Street.

Ernie: Oh, yeah...(Waving) Hi, Alan!

Alan: Morning, Ernie! Morning, Bert!

Bert: Morning? It's morning?!

Ernie: Beautiful morning. A little on the stinky side.

Bert: Ernie, do you know what this means? We have been digging all night just to arrive at Sesame Street!! We're not near Ed's or Kathy's at all!!

Ernie: Maybe we took a wrong turn at Whitmire Way...

Bert: ERNIE! From now on, I am leading the way! I was a Homing Pigeon Scout Leader and I will get us back safely!

Oscar: Hey, what are you two doing in my trash can?!

Bert: We were just leaving. Come on, Ernie!

(Bert and Ernie go back down into Oscars can...)

In Suite 3...

Bryan: (walking into the living room) Hey, Big Bird. Have you seen Bert and Ernie at all? I haven't seen them lately.
Big Bird: Me neither.
Bryan: Maybe we just keep missing each other. I was hoping they took those cupcakes to Ed and Kathy that I brought home from work.

Meanwhile, somewhere underground...

Bert: okay, now...all we need to do is retrace our steps. That way we'll be able to go back to where we came from. Well, that's easy! We dug one tunnel. We just have to follow it back.
(The lights from their helmets reveal more than just one tunnel.)
Bert: What?

Ernie: Well, other things can make tunnels, Bert. Gophers, snakes, rats...

Bert: (sigh of fright) Well how do we know which one is ours?

Ernie: No problem! There were some cakes in the backpack. I just a little trail of crumbs to lead us back to our livingroom.

Bert: You are a genius, Ernie! Let's go!...umm...where are the crums?

 

[Katzi428]

Prairie eating a cupcake Mmmm!!! Yummy!!
Hey! Where'd you get the cupcakes?
Prairie: Bert and Ernie brought some over.from Bryan Want some? offering me a chocolate frosted one.
Eh...I think I'll pass for tonight If I eat chocolate or have any type of caffeine at night , I'm not able to sleep. .I'm going to hide it from someone though.
Prairie: Yeah...I would too. That kid can be a little stinker sometimes.
Well I wasn't just thinking of him. I was thinking of a certain Swede!!
Prairie: Naaahh! Not our Chef!!
You betcha!putting my cupcake in a styrofoam box & labeling it with a BIG K

Bryan notices a huge hole in the floor in the corner of the living room area...

Bryan: Big Bird, what is this?!
Big Bird: Why, it's a big hole!
Bryan: I see it's a hole, but...Barkley hasn't been over lately, has he?
Big Bird: Bryan, don't be silly. Dogs can't dig through hardwood floors.
Bryan: Well, we don't live with any Fraggles. So how did it get there?!

*Squeak*

(Bryan just stepped on Rubber Duckie, who was under a napkin by the hole). Ernie!!!!!

 

[BEAR 2]

Bert: Ernie, I thought you said you left a crumb trail.
Ernie: I did.
Bert: Then where are they?
Ernie: Maybe someone took them.
Bert: Took them? Who would take them?

(A Rat appears next to Ernie, who's holding a cookie)
Rat: Excuse me. Can I take that?
(Ernie/Bert scream in surprise)
Rat: Hey, nevermind! I'll go somewhere else. Just please don't scream at me!
Ernie: Were you the one that ate the trail of cake?
Rat: And the oatmeal, and the bottle caps. They make great hats.
Bert: But why?
Rat: I have to prepare my family for the hurricane.
Bert: Really?
Rat: Of course! Underground is the best place to be during a storm.
Ernie: Sure, it's like Auntie Em and Uncle Henry in the Wizard of Oz when the tornado blew through Kansas.
Rat: Riiiiight! Say, why don't you come to our home and meet the family...

(In a section of the sewers, Bert is sitting on a pipe surrounded by several young rats. He is in the middle of a story...)
Bert: And then the pigeon turns to the dove and says, "Thank coo to you too!" (Laughs)
(Awkward silence)
Bert: (frowns) tough sewer.
Ernie: So you guys really live down here?
Papa Rat: Sure!
Bert: Really?
PR: It's great down here! I'll bet there are a lot of things you don't know about the world under your feet and below the street...

(The rat chorus starts a song with a scat, sounds like...)
Hey bow-wow-hey-ba-biddy-hey
What's down
What's down below the street
What's under the pavement that's under your feet
What's down, down, down below
Down below the street

Papa Rat: Looking deep down, the first thing you see
Are the wires that bring electricity
The lights light up, the telephones ring
Because of the power all these wires bring

Chorus: All those wires, all those pipes
Different sizes, different types
Bring you water, bring you heat
What's down below the street

PR: What's deeper down, here take a good look
These pipes bring the gas that makes your oven cook
Bert: And what about the water that flows in your sink?
PR: Those other pipes bring you the water you drink

Hey bow-wow-hey-ba-biddy-hey
What's down
What's down below the street
What's under the pavement that's under your feet
What's down, down, down below
Down below the street

So you need these big pipes to bring you heat
And for the water that goes down the drain every day
There are great big pipes that take the water away

What's down below the street
What's under the pavement that's under your feet
That's what's down, down beloooooow
Down below the street

Yeah!

Ernie: Wow, that was really fun! But we really must make our way home now. We have some food to deliver to our friends facing the storm.
Bert: If there's any food left.
Rat: We have some extra fruits and vegetables to spare.
Ernie: Gee thanks!
Bert: Ernie, but we still don't know our way back to Ed's
Papa Rat: Did you say "Ed"? Is that Ed from Hensonville?
Bert: Yes.
PR: I know that guy!
Bert: You do??
PR: Sure! We play canasta with his bats every Tuesday. We can guide you back.
Bert: Terrific!
Ernie: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!

(Ernie and Bert follow the rats out)

 

[BEAR 2]

(Inside Suite 1, thumping and bumping can be felt and heard from below the floor, until two shovels make their way through and the some floor collapses below creating a big hole and Ernie and Bert's heads pop up)
Ernie: Ed? Count? Hi, Everybody! Bert, we made it!
Bert: I know!
Ernie: Listen, I hope we're not too late, but we came a very long way to bring you what is now some fruits, 2 boxes of oatmeal and 5 and a half cupcakes.
Bert: There's pumpkin, peanut butter chocolate chip, black velvet, vanilla, chocolate, and a bag of crumbs...
Ernie: Sorry.

(A knock on the door, and Bryan pokes his head in)
Bryan: Ernie...Bert...
Ernie: Hi, Bryan! Want some crumbs?
Bert: Ernie.
Ernie: Hey, how did you get in so easily?
Bryan: I walked down the hall and knocked on the door. It's not boarded up!!
Ernie: Oops.
Bert: I knew it.
Bryan: And you know what you guys are gonna do? You're gonna help Biff and Sully repair both floors.
Big Bird: (pokes his head in) Hi, Everybody! Oh look! They have a hole in their floor too! Do you think everyone has that feature?
Bryan: Big Bird!
Big Bird: I'm going to go ask Kathy. See you later!
