Steve Whitmire: Ernie

Quotes 

• Ernie : [Benny Rabbit is taking a nap, when Ernie comes to greet him]  Hi there, Benny old bunny!

  Benny : [startled awake]  Hey, what?

  [stammers] 

  Ernie : Oh, I'm sorry, Benny, I didn't realize you were on your break.

  Benny : Would I waste time sleeping if I were on my break? Now leave me alone! I'm working here!

  Ernie : [Benny goes back to sleep]  Oh well.

• [the Dinger has dinged fourteen times. Benny comes in carrying fourteen suitcases] 

  Benny : It better not be him, it better not be him, It better not be...

  [Sees Ernie and assumes it's him who dinged the order] 

  Benny : It's Him!

  [to Ernie] 

  Benny : It's You!

  Ernie : It's me?

  Benny : It's you! It's you!

  Ernie : [slightly amused]  It's me?

  Benny : [shouts]  It's you! You dinged again! You never stop dinging! You dinged once, then twice! Three, four, five, on and on! You just keep on dinging! The Dinging Never Stops! I can't believe you dinged fourteen time! I can't...

  Ernie : Benny, Benny... it wasn't me who dinged this time. It was the Dinger who dinged.

  Benny : [flabbergasted]  Uh... * The Dinger Dinged*... why didn't you say so?

  [With a groan, Benny collapses underneath the weight of the mountain of luggage] 

  Ernie : [genuinely worried]  Benny, are you okay?

  Benny : [groans; muffled]  Leave me alone... I'm on my break!
