Elmo Visits the Firehouse (2002 Video)

Steve Whitmire: Ernie

Quotes 

• Ernie : Oh! Ahem... hi there, everybody! Hey, I bet you're wondering, what is Ernie hiding behind his back? Well, I'll give you a clue: it's small and yellow.

  [scene shows a picture of Big Bird] 

  Ernie : No, no, I said "SMALL and yellow."

  [a picture of a banana is shown] 

  Ernie : Nope, it's not a banana. Here's another clue: it's small and yellow, and you squeeze it.

  [a picture of a lemon is shown] 

  Ernie : Nope, it's not a lemon.

  [laughs] 

  Ernie : But that's a good guess. It's small, it's cute, it's yellow, and it puts out fires. That's right, folks!

  [reveals his Rubber Duckie, wearing a firefighter's helmet] 

  Ernie : It's Firechief Rubber Duckie, the brave, endearing firefighter! Oh, Firechief Rubber Duckie, you are a credit to your community.

  [squeaks his Rubber Duckie repeatedly] 

  Ernie : I guess you get your water from the tubby, huh?

  [guffaws, then charges off. The segment then makes a fire truck transition over to the next segment, which opens with an outline of a person, scrawled over a patch of sand] 

  Quizzing lady : Let's draw a firefighter.
