(The scene is plain red. Ernie and Herry (in a BLUE nose) stand together.)
ANNOUNCER (Jerry Nelson): And now, Ernie and Herry Monster will have their conservation for ten minutes.
ERNIE: Oh, wow. Ten minutes. You know that we're gonna have our conservation yet, right Herry?
HERRY: That's right, Ernie. Now, what do you wanna talk about?
ERNIE: Well, I was thinking if you got the same eyes as I do.
HERRY: Umm..Ernie, I think I have different eyes than you.
ERNIE: Oh, well, I've got my red nose as you do.
HERRY: Oh yeah? I've got my big blue nose.
ERNIE: Well that's too bad...hey, I know,...
HERRY: What's that?
ERNIE: You see Herry, I used to laugh like this: Keeheeheeheehee!
HERRY: Oh, yeah? Well, I used to laugh like this: Keeheeheeheehee! (Laughs like Ernie)
ERNIE: Herry, I think we have our different eyes and noses, but we do things that are the same.
HERRY: You're right, Ernie...oh, hey! I know what! My favorite foods I like to eat are hamburgers and ice cream!
ERNIE: The point is, Herry, I like hamburgers and ice cream too, but I also like pizza and french fries. That's pretty the same. Oh! I've got another question to ask you, Herry, where do you live?
HERRY: Well, I live on Sesame Street.
ERNIE: Well, I live on Sesame Street, too, because I live in my basement room with my ol' buddy Bert.
HERRY: I think that's the same...Wait! My favorite kind of music is punk, what about yours, Ernie?
ERNIE: Well, my favorite kind of music is punk, too, so I can listen to it so loud to bother my ol' pal Bert.
HERRY: Really?
ERNIE: Yeah.
HERRY: Aw, rats! We have to think of the next question on what we do. Oh, I'll tell you what, my favorite sports and hobbies are baseball and weight-lifting.
ERNIE: Well, my favorite sports are baseball and football, and my favorite hobbies are joking around Bert and taking baths with Rubber Duckie.
HERRY: Well, when I take baths, I don't take them with Rubber Duckie!
ERNIE: Too bad, Herry, we've got most of the same things we do and we've got the least things we do something that's different.
HERRY: Oh, no! What are we going to do???
ERNIE: I don't know, Herry, but I think we're the same!
HERRY: You're right! We're the same!
ERNIE: That's so terrible!
HERRY: Me too! Ohhh...(Both hug)
(A pink rod muppet with dopey eyes in a purple suit enters)
CONSERVATION BOSS MUPPET (Frank Oz): Okay, okay. Time's up. You're Ernie and you're Herry Monster. You guys tried to be friendly together, but it doesn't work.
HERRY: Really?
CONSERVATION BOSS MUPPET: Yeah. See, Ernie, your skin is orange and smooth, and you wear your red-and-blue striped shirt, and Herry, your skin is blue and furry, and you wear nothing! I guess you'll find another friend soon.
ERNIE: Another friend? I don't like it! I wish that you'd be my best friend, Herry.
HERRY: Me too! I know we've tried talking together!
ERNIE: Aww, I'm gonna miss you, Herry!
HERRY: And I'm gonna miss you, Ernie!
BOTH ERNIE & HERRY: Ohhhhh...(Both hug again)
(A live and friendly teenaged boy in a T-shirt, jeans, a cap and sandals enter to meet them.)
BOY: Hi, guys! I'll be your new friend!
ERNIE: Herry, I guess we'll just have to do one thing kids do!
HERRY: What's that, Ernie?
ERNIE: We'll annoy him!
HERRY: Annoy about what?
ERNIE: We'll do anything to him. (To boy) Hey! Your hair looks yellow like my ol' buddy Bert!
HERRY: And your cap looked alot like Sherlock Hemlock's!
ERNIE: Your skin looks smooth like the Swedish Chef.
HERRY: I think you wear jeans like Scooter the Go-Fer.
ERNIE: Your T-shirt looked green like Kermit the Frog!
HERRY: You wear sandals like Janice or Zoot the Saxaphonist!
ERNIE: You've got a golden tooth like Dr. Teeth!
HERRY: You've always look alot different, because you're a live boy!
ERNIE: You always greeted us like Sam the Robot!
HERRY: Maybe we'd call him Scooter the live boy.
ERNIE: Or about Bert's New Buddy...
(They grab him off and fade off.)
