Bert: Ernie, it's time to go to sleep now. You can do that in the morning
Ernie: It's pretty messy in there, Bert
Bert: Well, Ernie, you're just a little messy. I've learned that. I'm used to it. Let's go to sleep
Ernie: You know, Bert, you're a real friend. I'm messy and you don't like it messy, but because I'm your friend you don't mind too much if I'm messy
