  • MURRAY: It's time for--

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Give it a try, please?

  • Please, Bert?

  • Please imagine a dinosaur, Bert?

  • Please?

  • BERT [SHOUTS]: All right!

  • Fine, fine, fine.

  • Ernie, if I imagine a dinosaur, will you

  • please let me go to sleep?

  • ERNIE: Sure, Bert.

  • BERT: Fine.

  • OK.

  • [SIGHS]

  • Imagination, OK-- I imagine a dinosaur.

  • Imagining a dinosaur, imagining a dinosaur-- here I go.

  • Imagining a dinosaur, imagining a dinosaur--

  • ERNIE: So what does it look like, Bert?

  • BERT: Hmm, it's kind of fuzzy, Ernie.

  • ERNIE: Fuzzy?

  • BERT: Yeah.

  • ERNIE: Hmm.

  • Well, I think you probably need to imagine harder, Bert.

  • BERT: Oh, Ernie.

  • ERNIE: You know, put more effort into it.

  • BERT: Fine, fine.

  • OK, fine, fine.

  • OK, imagining a dinosaur.

  • He's big.

  • ERNIE: That's good.

  • BERT: He's big--

  • ERNIE: Harder, Bert.

  • BERT: And he has a long neck.

  • ERNIE: You're not doing it hard enough, Bert.

  • BERT: I'm trying.

  • ERNIE: Push, push.

  • [GRUNTS]

  • BERT: He has a long neck.

  • And--

  • ERNIE: Bert?

  • [GRUNTS]

  • ERNIE: Well, Bert?

  • [POP]

  • BERT: Nothing.

  • ERNIE: Nothing?

  • BERT: Nothing.

  • ERNIE: Hmm, I guess you just need more practice

  • at imagination, Bert.

  • BERT: Yeah, maybe you're right.

  • ERNIE: OK, well, goodnight, Bert.

  • BERT: Good night.

  • Good night, Ernie.

  • You know, I was never really good at imagining.

  • You know that.

  • You're good at it.

  • I'd love to imagine, maybe, a big dinosaur--

  • an orange dinosaur-- with maybe a long neck.

  • No, I just-- I don't do that very good.

  • What, Ernie?

  • DINOSAUR: Excuse me.

  • BERT: What, Ernie?

  • [SCREAMS]

  • DINOSAUR: Did you imagine a big, orange dinosaur

  • with a long neck?

  • BERT: I did!

  • I did!

  • DINOSAUR: Well, here I am.

  • BERT: Oh, but I also imagined that you liked bottle caps.

  • DINOSAUR: Ooh, I do!

  • BERT: Oh, boy!

  • And pigeons?

  • ELMO: Yes.

  • Tell them what a paleontologist is, Miss Amy.

  • AMY: Sure, Elmo.

  • A paleontologist is a scientist who looks for

  • and studies things that lived a long, long time ago.

  • ELMO: Yeah.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • Ooh, what kind of things that lived a long, long time ago,

  • Miss Amy?

  • AMY: Well, paleontologists study plants

  • that lived a long, long time ago,

  • and animals that lived a long, long time ago,

  • and even humans that lived a long, long time ago.

  • ELMO: Well, what about dinosaurs that

  • lived a long, long time ago?

  • AMY: Oh, yes.

  • Paleontologists definitely study dinosaurs.

  • ELMO: Oh, boy!

  • Oh, boy!

  • Well, can paleontologist Elmo and paleontologist Amy

  • study a dinosaur right now?

  • AMY: Well, sure, Elmo.

  • Do you have any dinosaur bones we could study?

  • ELMO: Well, paleontologist Elmo has something even better

  • than bones.

  • AMY: What's that?

  • ELMO: A real dinosaur!

  • AMY: Huh?

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • [LAUGHING]

  • AMY: Whoa!

  • You're a real dinosaur!

  • [FOOTSTEPS]

  • ERNIE: Boom, boom.

  • We'll be hiding behind the biggest dinosaur, right,

  • Rubber Ducky?

  • A stream and a bridge-- I can go over it.

  • [BOOM]

  • You hear that?

  • [POP]

  • ERNIE: We'll be behind the biggest dinosaur.

  • BIG BIRD: Oh, yeah.

  • [BOOM]

  • Nothing back here, but a few flattened ferns.

  • BIG BIRD: Oh, well, thanks for your help.

  • DINOSAUR: Keep looking.

  • You know what they say-- if at first you

  • don't succeed, try triceratops.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • [BOOMS]

  • BIG BIRD: I guess Ernie's behind a bigger dinosaur.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • Whoa, it's getting a little hilly!

  • [MUNCHING]

  • BIG BIRD: Hello!

  • Is there a dinosaur in there?

  • DINOSAUR: Hello!

  • BIG BIRD: Oh, wow!

  • And it's definitely bigger than the triceratops.

  • Is Ernie behind you?

  • DINOSAUR: Oh-- behind?

  • BOTH: Behind!

  • BIG BIRD: Is it Ernie?

  • DINOSAUR: No-- leaves.

  • BIG BIRD: Oh, where's Ernie?

  • DINOSAUR: I don't know.

  • That way?

  • BIG BIRD: Oh, well.

  • Better keep looking.

  • [MUNCHING]

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • BIG BIRD: Whoa, this hill is turning into a mountain.

  • [BOOM]

  • Whoa, now the mountain's moving backward.

  • [BOOM]

  • Now, the mountain's moving forward--

  • [BOOM]

  • And backward again.

  • Wait a minute!

  • Mountains don't move!

  • [BOOM]

  • I think I'm on the biggest dinosaur.

  • Ernie, are you behind this dinosaur?

  • ERNIE: Wha-- you called?

  • NARRATOR: There you are!

  • We found him!

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • ERNIE: You sure did-- wow!

  • Ha, ha!

  • BIG BIRD [SINGING]: It's Ernie.

  • ERNIE: Oh, very diplomatic of him, right, Rubber Ducky?

  • [LAUGHS]

  • [LAUGHING]

  • ERNIE: Yeah.

  • DINOSAUR: Oh.

  • ELMO: Did Abby's Mommy pack something for lunch that hops?
