(Ernie walks past Lefty)
Lefty: Hey, bud.
Ernie: Who, me?
Lefty: Shhh!!
Ernie: (whispering) Who, me?
Lefty: Riiiight.... I've got something to sell you.
Ernie: Really? What?
Lefty: Shhhhh!! I've got the biggest thing I've ever attempted to sell to anyone... so far.
Ernie: So far?
Lefty: Shhh! Come here.... (Lefty leads Ernie to the object) The thing for me to sell you is....
Ernie: Yes?
Lefty: Right over here! (points to a telephone booth)
Ernie: Oh, that's a telephone booth.
Lefty: riiight.
Ernie: Do they still make those? I thought that cell phones put them out of buisness.
Lefty: Well, suppose you are a super hero....
Ernie: I'm not a super hero, but my friend Grover is. You might want to sell it to him.
Lefty: Well hypothetically speaking, if you were a super hero, and you needed to change, you'd need this telephone booth. Or suppose you wanted to call somebody, and a monster ate your home phone.
Ernie: That's happened before.
Lefty: Well, then you'd have an extra phone. And buy it from me now, and you'll never have to pay to use the phone.
Ernie: Really?
Lefty: Really. It'll cost you just a nickle.
Ernie: Oh. Well, just to make sure that you aren't just trying to rip me off, do you mind if I use the telephone booth to make a call?
Lefty: Go ahead.
(Ernie goes into the booth, shuts the door, and makes a free call)
Ernie: Hello? Oh, it's still ringing. Oh, it's an answering machine. I'll just leave a message. Hello, Bert? I'm buying a telephoen booth. Now we have our own phones. Bye. (hangs up) This is really cool. (Ernie tries to open the door, but it is stuck) Oh, no! the door's stuck!
Lefty: What?
Ernie: I can't get out!
Lefty: This is terrible! You can't give me the nickle while you are in there!
Ernie: I'll just phone the police. They can get me out...
Lefty: No, that phone can't get the police! Oh, I know who can get you out of there. (Lefty picks up the booth) Hold still.
(Lefty has trouble keeping balance, buthe carries it off-screen, and we then hear a crashing sound)
