“Oh noooooo! Big Bird is dead!” Ernie rolled his eyes to the heavens and swooned.
“No he’s not.” Bert didn’t even put his newspaper down.
“But he’s laying on the floor with his eyes closed.”
“So? He’s napping. Naaaaaapping.”
“But he’s not breathing.”
“I got news for you, Ernie. None of us are breathing. Not Big Bird, not Oscar, not you, and not me. All of us are just dolls waiting to get the stuffing knocked out of us.”
“Yeah, but most of us still have our tops and our bottoms stuck together.”
