Stop mentioning that, it makes me feel guilty.
Aw, Peppi... *Huggles* If you were guilty, I'd be sending you straight to the cops... I mean, I'd be doing it for you, you know? It'd be for your own good! IT IS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, PEPPI! I'M CALLING OFFICERS RENEELOUVIER AND FURRYREDMONSTER ON YOU!

Chapter 3: Off to See the World
Bert took Ernie, Elmo, and Cookie Monster by surprise when he seemed to have appeared out of nowhere on the train.
BERT: What is this so-called adventure you're think you're trying to have, Ernie?
ERNIE: I can't tell you, Bert.
BERT: Give me one good reason why you shouldn't tell me! JUST ONE!
ERNIE: Because you'll laugh at me.
BERT: (Remorse) Aw, Ernie, I'd never laugh at you... NOW WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? !
ELMO: Elmo and Ernie and Cookie are looking for the Giant Sesame Seed of Sesame Street!
BERT: The Giant Sesame Seed of Sesame Street? !
ERNIE: (Sighs) The Giant Sesame Seed of Sesame Street.
BERT: The Giant Sesame Seed of Sesame Street? !
ELMO: The Giant Sesame Seed of Sesame Street!
BERT: THE Giant Sesame Seed of Sesame Street?
COOKIE MONSTER: Me notice there's an echo in here...
Awkward pause.
BERT: Well, Ernie, why wasn't I invited?
ERNIE: (Gasps) You... you mean YOU believe in the Giant Sesame Seed of Sesame Street? !
BERT: "Believe"? Ernie, I'm POSITIVE the Giant Sesame Seed of Sesame Street exists! Why, if it didn't, we wouldn't be living on Sesame Street this very day!
ERNIE: Wow... boy, Bert, you never stop amazing me!
BERT: (Laughs) So, where are we going?
ELMO: ITALY!
BERT: Ah, I see, well, this WILL be an adventure, I can hardly wait to go to... ITALY? !
COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah-yeah-yeah, you know? The country that shaped like giant boot?
Bert slowly turned around to face Ernie.
BERT: So THAT explains why you were suddenly so interested in reading about Italy, huh, Ernie?
ERNIE: Well...
BERT: (Sighs) Well, I guess we're on our way to Italy, then!
Ernie, Elmo, and Cookie Monster all started cheering.
BERT: Boy, if I knew we were going to be gone this long, I would've gotten a house-sitter...
ERNIE: Aw, Bert, that's just silly movie Frank Oz directed!
BERT: Who?
ERNIE: Never mind.
BERT: At least Bernice knows where I keep her food, I wouldn't want her to go hungry...
Just then, Cookie Monster's tummy started growling.
COOKIE MONSTER: Oh, me can't wait to get to Italy... me eat pizza, spaghetti, and Italian COO-KIES! Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!
The train sped off into the night, and pretty soon, the gang found themselves at the airport, where they got their tickets for their non-stop flight to Italy.
