Episode 4425

Bert is quietly reading his new book, when Elmo and Ernie come by with movie equipment. They have found their movie star and hero, Bert! He is very hesitant to be in the movie, but Ernie and Elmo talk him into it. Ernie explains that in the first scene of the movie, the hero is a cowboy. But Bert doesn’t know how to pretend to be a cowboy because he doesn’t know what they do. Ernie and Elmo explain that he just needs to think it through and use his imagination. They help Bert think of three things cowboys do and he acts them out. The next scene is about a pirate, but Bert has trouble again pretending. Ernie and Elmo help Bert think it through and come up with three things pirates do. Bert acts them out and they move on to the final scene, the outer space scene. The hero is an astronaut who meets an alien on the moon. Bert wants to first plan out what to do, but he doesn’t want to play the astronaut. Bert wants to pretend to be the alien! He thinks it through by himself and uses his own imagination to come up with three things an alien would do and ends the scene with an alien dance. Ernie and Elmo wrap the film up, but Bert wants to make another movie! He has so many new ideas now that he knows how to use his imagination.
