The 'R' Machine
Bert (fixing the machine)：'Ha! Well, this machine knows what letter comes next. I put this here...'
Ernie: 'Hi there, Bert. What's that machine you're working on?'
Bert: 'Oh hi, Ernie. This is my latest invention, my automatic 'R' detector.'
Ernie: 'No kidding.'
Bert: 'Yeah. Anytime this machine hears an 'R' or an 'R' word, it rings a bell. I'll start it up for you now....'
(sound of machine starting)
Ernie: 'Wow! Look at that machine go.'
Bert: 'Now if you'll just say something that begins with 'R'...' (bell rings)
Ernie: 'What was that?'
Bert: 'Oh, I just said 'R'. (bell rings) And when you say 'R' (bell rings), the bell rings.' (bell rings)
Ernie: 'Hey! You said 'rings' (bell rings) which begins with 'R'.' (bell rings)
Bert: 'Right.' (bell rings)
Ernie: 'Why, that's remarkable! (bell rings) Hey! (Ernie laughs) Keeheehee! That's fun. Let me tell it an 'R' riddle.' (bell rings twice)
Bert: 'O.K. Just don't go too fast. I don't know what'll happen if the machine gets going too fast.'

Ernie: 'O.K. Listen to this, machine: Roscoe really raised rabbits while Ruth rode the red reindeer. If Roscoe's rabbits raised a racket, why did Ruth's reindeer run the rabbits ragged?'
(bell rings 17 times)
Bert: 'Hey, hey! Don't talk so fast. The machine is beginning to smoke.'
Ernie: 'Well, I only have one last poem here.'
Bert: 'Yeah, yeah, but listen..'
Ernie: 'Robert rolled reddish radishes around the ring of rubber rubbish...' (The bell rings seven times and the machine makes a 'Moooooooo!' sound)
(The machine explodes and makes a whistling sound)
Bert: 'Hey, hey, wait! Hold it!....Wait!....Now look what you did!'
Ernie: 'Oh my! The machine looks ruined.'
(The bell rings and the machine makes another whistling sound)
Bert: 'Rats!'
(The machine pops out a spring)
