OVEJITA: La gente en tu barrio!

MURRAY: Yes-- the people in your neighborhood!

OVEJITA: Uh-huh!

MUSIC PLAYING]

MURRAY [SINGING]: Who are the peeps

that you meet when you're walking down the street?

Oh, who are the people in your neighborhood?

Gotta say right away, without delay,

there are people that you meet each day.

MURRAY: Hi!

I'm Murray!

TERRY MILLIGAN: Hi, Murray.

MURRAY: And this is Ovejita.

TERRY MILLIGAN: Oh, Ovejita!

MURRAY: Well, what's your name?

TERRY MILLIGAN: Terry Milligan.

MURRAY: Terry, are you one of the people in my neighborhood?

TERRY MILLIGAN: I am indeed.

I'm a paleontologist.

MURRAY: Ooh, what's a paleontologist?

TERRY MILLIGAN: Paleontologists are

people who like to study the things that

lived in the past, I mean way, way in the past.

MURRAY: You mean like last Tuesday?

TERRY MILLIGAN: No, millions of years ago.

MURRAY: How in the world can you find out what

happened millions of years ago?

TERRY MILLIGAN: We do that by going

around looking for fossils.

MURRAY: Fossils-- what are fossils?

TERRY MILLIGAN: Fossils are actually

things that lived long ago, or marks

and other things that were made by things that lived long ago.

MURRAY: Oh, I wish I could see some fossils right now.

TERRY MILLIGAN: I just happen to have some.

MURRAY: What kind of fossils did you bring?

TERRY MILLIGAN: Murray, I've got a part

of the rib of a triceratops.

MURRAY: A triceratops?

Is that a dinosaur?

TERRY MILLIGAN: That is a dinosaur.

That's the one with three horns on top of his head

up there like that.

MURRAY: Well, how do you know that's a triceratops?

TERRY MILLIGAN: It's got these little holes

that we see here and these lines that we see here.

MURRAY: Ooh.

TERRY MILLIGAN: This one is interesting.

MURRAY: What is that?

TERRY MILLIGAN: This is called a trilobite.

Here's its eyes right here--

MURRAY: Oh, I see the eyes.

TERRY MILLIGAN: And this is its forehead right here.

MURRAY: And how old is that one?

TERRY MILLIGAN: This one is about 300 million years old.

MURRAY: 300 million years old?

TERRY MILLIGAN: It's older than the oldest dinosaur.

Here we're looking at a fossil of a tree.

MURRAY: A tree?

That's a tree?

TERRY MILLIGAN: You can see the stem here,

and you can see a branch coming out of the stem here.

MURRAY: It seems like a rock.

TERRY MILLIGAN: It is a rock because when

something fossilizes, it gets buried first.

And then rain soaks down into the ground

and picks up minerals.

And then those minerals soak into the wood,

and the wood eventually changes to rock.

MURRAY: Whoa!

Whoa, what is that?

TERRY MILLIGAN: This is dinosaur poop.

MURRAY: What?

[LAUGHS]

And how old is that poop?

TERRY MILLIGAN: Maybe 100 million years old.

MURRAY: OK, Terry, I'm ready to look for some fossils.

What do I do?

TERRY MILLIGAN: If we're looking for dinosaurs,

we need to find rock that's at least 65 million years old.

MURRAY: No problem, Terry.

I'm on it.

MURRAY [SINGING]: Looking around for some fossils.

Oh!

I found one!

Check it out, Terry.

It's a fossil.

TERRY MILLIGAN: No, I don't think so.

I think that's just a regular rock.

MURRAY: Aww, darn.

Well, I'll keep looking.

Oh!

I think I found one!

What's that in your hand?

Is it a fossil?

TERRY MILLIGAN: It is a fossil.

MURRAY: Oh, boy!

Ooh, can we try to figure out what it is, Terry?

TERRY MILLIGAN: You can.

MURRAY: OK.

I'm going to look closely at it.

TERRY MILLIGAN: Check out the shape of it first.

Look how it's nice and round.

And it's got little cracks all over it.

[GASPS]

MURRAY: Hey, Terry!

You know what I think that fossil is?

TERRY MILLIGAN: What?

MURRAY: I think it's an egg fossil!

TERRY MILLIGAN: You're right.

MURRAY: I am?

[LAUGHS]

I make a good paleontologist!

Wow!

TERRY MILLIGAN: It's a dinosaur egg.

MURRAY: How old is that dinosaur egg?

TERRY MILLIGAN: This one is about 100 million years old.

MURRAY: 100 million year old egg?

Wow!

You're an awesome paleontologist!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MURRAY: Thanks, Terry.

I love meeting peeps in my hood.

[GRUNTS]

[SIGHS]

BERT: Good night, Ernie.

ERNIE: Good night, Bert.

[SIGHS]

ERNIE: Hmm?

What's that?

BERT: Hmm?

ERNIE: You need an extra blanket?

BERT: No, I'm fine, Ernie.

ERNIE: OK.

All right.

Here you go.

BERT: Hmm?

ERNIE: There you go.

Have a good night.

Hmm?

You want a teddy bear?

Aww, that's so sweet.

Sure, here's one for you.

There you go.

Have a good night now.

BERT: Ernie?

Are you OK?

ERNIE: I'm fine, Bert.

BERT: Well, who are you talking to?

ERNIE: Oh, I'm talking to a dinosaur, Bert.

BERT: A dinosaur.

ERNIE: Yup, a dinosaur.

BERT: Ernie, you know there are no dinosaurs in our bedroom.

ERNIE: Oh, don't be silly, Bert.

Of course I know that.

That's why I'm imagining a dinosaur here in the bedroom.

BERT: Oh, you're imagining a dinosaur.

ERNIE: Yeah, that's right.

BERT: OK, fine.

Good night.

ERNIE: You know, it's a lot of fun, Bert.

BERT: Fine.

ERNIE: Yeah.

I mean, at first, you have to think really hard

about the dinosaur, you know.

And uh-- a tall dinosaur-- m-hmm, yes,

a tall dinosaur with blue skin, a tall,

blue dinosaur with pink polka dots--

[LAUGHS]

And then, Bert, then you have yourself

one great imaginary dinosaur, m-hmm.

BERT: Fine, Ernie.

Fine.

[SIGHS]

Now go to sleep, OK?

ERNIE: Oh, no, Bert.

I think you should give it a try.

BERT: No, not me.

ERNIE: Come on, Bert.
