- Can you believe it, Bert?

We're out in space exploring alien planets.

- Yeah, but I'm getting kind of hungry, Ernie.

Did we bring any oatmeal?

- Of course we did, Bert but we're astronauts

and all our food comes in squeezy tubes.

Let me get you the oatmeal one.

Ooh. (laughs)

Hey, look at this, Bert, I'm floating.

- Ernie, we're in space, everything floats.

- Ah.

Oops.

- Oh.

- Look at me, Bert, I'm swimming in oatmeal.

- Ernie, get back in your seat and buckle up.

Hurry, we're about to land.

- Roger, Bert.

(spaceship crashes)

- I don't think that's how we're supposed to land, Ernie.

Now how do we get off?

- Well, we'll jump.

- Jump?

Not me.

You jump if you want.

- Okay, Bert.

- Wow, look at that.

- Grab on, Bert. (giggles)

(upbeat music)

(creatures chatter)

- Uh-oh, what was that?

- Gee, must be the locals.

Come out, come out wherever you are.

We're friendly.

Hey, look how cute those little guys are, Bert.

They kind of remind me of somebody. (giggles)

- But are they friendly?

- Let's find out.

Greetings space creatures, we come from earth

in the spirit of fun.

(creatures honks)

Gee, I think they wanna be friends with us, Bert.

Say hello to 'em.

- I, uh.

(creatures speak)

Why'd they move away, Ernie?

Oh, maybe they don't wanna be my friend.

- Oh come on, of course they do Bert,

but maybe they're shy.

Go on, say something to them.

- Ah, um, ah.

(creature speaks)

- Okay, sure.

- Oh.

Come on Bert, this is really fun.

- Oh, but I don't know what to say to those space creatures.

Hello there space creatures.

- Ooh, ha ha.

- You like my socks?

- Wee.

What's keeping you Bert?

Come on.

- Look, here's a picture of my oatmeal dish.

You fellas like oatmeal?

Ah, ah.

And here's a picture of my favorite pigeon, Bernice.

Oh, but I don't suppose you care about pigeons either.

(creatures gasp)

- Hey Bert, I think the space creatures like pigeons.

- I can't believe this.

(creatures speak)

But, but where are you taking me?

- Oh, look at that.

(creatures speak)

Coo, coo.

Coo, coo.

Well, what do you know, Ernie?

These space creatures have great taste.

(creatures speak)

- Coo coo.

- I told you my old buddy Bert was really cool.

And if you love pigeons, wait till you see his pigeon dance.

Go on Bert, show it to 'em.

- Oh, I think I will.

Ah, ah, ah.

Ah, ah, smooth moves, huh?

(creatures speak)

You know Ernie, these space creatures are a lot cooler

than I thought, too.
