[MUSIC - "WON'T YOU BE MY
NEIGHBOR?"]
-[SINGING] It's a beautiful
day in this neighborhood,
a beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
It's a neighborly day
in this beautywood,
a neighborly day for a beauty.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
I have always wanted to have
a neighbor just like you.
I've always wanted to live
in a neighborhood with you.
So let's make the most
of this beautiful day.
Since we're together, we might
as well say, would you be mine?
Would you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please,
won't you please?
Please won't you be my neighbor?
Hi, neighbor.
See what I brought today?
What do you think
might be in that case?
Does it look like a violin?
Or a viola?
Well, it's really a ukulele.
That's what this is, a
ukulele with a broken string.
I'll show you.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
But this string is broken.
I saw Joe Negri a
little while ago.
He said he'd come over
and help me fix it.
Did you ever break anything?
I mean, did you ever have an
accident and break something
of yours or-- or something
that belongs to someone else?
That can give you
a scary feeling,
even if you didn't
mean to do it.
[KNOCKING]
-Oh, that may be Joe now.
It is.
Hi, Joe.
-Hi, Fred.
-Thank you for coming.
You know my
television neighbors.
-Oh, sure.
Hi.
-Well, here is the instrument.
-So this is the ukulele.
-Yes.
Come on down.
-Yeah.
Yeah, it looks like
it's the B string.
-This one, yes.
-Right.
-Would you be able to fix it?
-Well, yeah.
You want me to fix it here
or take it to the shop?
-Would you mind doing it here?
I'd like to watch you.
-No, I'd like to try to do it.
Do you happen to have the peg?
-Oh, it's probably in the case.
Let me see.
-It's very important.
-Here.
Here's one.
-Very good.
-That's it.
-OK.
Can we-- can we go over here?
-Sure.
-All right.
-Now you tell me
what to do to help.
-All right.
Maybe you can help--
help me to hold it.
Now I'm going to put the
string in there like that,
and try to get the peg.
Now, you want to
hold that, Fred?
-Sure.
-OK.
Now I want it to come up here.
Got it?
MR. ROGERS: Mm-hmm.
-Very good.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-Now--
-Why, you--
-Maybe we could just-- I
have my screwdriver with me.
-Do you always carry that?
-And we can snug this up a bit.
Oof.
Let's see.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-You have a talent.
-Try it.
See what you think.
You can play, don't you?
-Well, just a little bit.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-Nice ukulele.
-Would you play it?
-Sure.
For sure.
I used to play one
when I was little.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-[SINGING] I think I'm
going to like today.
I think I'll call it fine.
I'll wrap it in ribbons
and make it mine.
I got an idea.
-What?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-Would you play
the piano with me?
-Sure.
OK.
-You mean you'll play that
and I'll play the piano?
-Right.
-Certainly.
Do you wan to sing
some more of that song?
-OK.
[SINGING] I think I'm
going to like today.
It's very plain to see.
I like every moment.
And it likes me.
It's the nicest day in the
neighborhood, the nicest day
in the calendar, the nicest
day in the hemisphere for me.
You try one.
-[SINGING] I think I'm
going to like today.
And when today is
through I'll catch it
and keep it as good as new.
There it will be.
I'll have the nicest
day in the neighborhood,
the nicest day in the calendar.
The nicest day will just
stay at home with me.
I think I'm going to like today.
Ah, Joe.
You've always liked
music, haven't you?
-Ever since I was a little boy.
-And now you have
your own music shop.
-Yeah, and I think I better
be getting back to it.
-Well, you certainly
repaired this in good order.
-Well, I hope it's-- I
hope that does the trick.
-Thank you very much.
-Let's see.
I have my screwdriver.
OK.
Well, good seeing you.
-[SINGING] I think I'm going
to like today, thanks to you.
-I always like fixing
something when I can.
-Thanks for doing that.
-OK.
Goodbye.
-Goodbye, Joe.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
It sounds so much better
since he fixed it.
Let's have some make-believe.
[BELL CHIMING]
Speaking of broken things, last
time King Friday got very angry
because the Royal
Hula Mouse, HM,
had been planning a
surprise with Lady Elaine.
Anyway, the king got so
angry, he broke something.
I don't think he
meant to, but he did.
And everybody got pretty scared.
So let's just think more about
that now as the trolley goes
into the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHIMING]
-Yes, Trolley, I was angry.
[CHIMING]
-No, I didn't mean
to break that toy.
[CHIMING]
-Apologize?
[CHIMING]
-Why, that's highly irregular.
[CHIMING]
-But we'll see.
Apologize?
Apologize?
Oh, Handyman Negri, I presume?
-Correct as usual, King Friday.
-Were you able to repair it?
-Well, all but this one part.
-Oh.
So it's not as good as new?
-No, but almost.
-Oh.
What do you think
Lady Aberlin will say?
-Well, why don't you
ask her yourself?
-You mean she's still here?
-Oh, yes.
She's helping with the surprise.
-Uncle Friday, I presume.
-Lady Aberlin, I presume.
-I guess we're both correct.
-As usual.
-Well--
-Is that a-- a sun,
or a moon on a stick?
-It's whatever I
want to make it.
And I trust that
you won't break it.
-Uh, speaking of breaking,
your toy has been repaired.
-Thank you.
-Now you may all carry on.
-Is that all you're going
to say, Uncle Friday?
-Uh, say about what?
-About this.
About breaking this.
About being so mad
that you actually
threw it down and broke it.
-Um, it's fixed . now.
-But people's
feelings aren't fixed.
-Uh, what people's feelings?
-Lady Elaine's.
HM the Hula Mouse's.
Mine.
You hurt all of our feelings.
-Well, um, what
will we do about it?
-What will you do about it?
-Ah.
I know.
Handyman, do you have
your ukulele handy?
-Yes, sire.
-Yeah, very good.
I will need a royal
uke fanfare, please.
-Yes, sir.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-Very good.
I, King Friday the 13th,
do hereby make a new rule.
-A new rule?
-The new rule is that
everyone who had hurt feelings
will now have good feelings.
-You can't order people to have
good feelings, Uncle Friday.
-I just did.
Farewell.
-Oh, honestly.
He is so exasperating.
-Yeah.
-Uh, incidentally--
-Yes, sire?
-Yes?
-One more thing.
-Yes?
-I'm sorry.
Now farewell.
-F-- farewell.
Something tells me things
are going to be better.
-He really said "I'm
sorry," didn't he?
-He really did.
-Well, that's a good beginning.
Now I can carry on
with this at the clock.
-Oh.
And I can take this
over to Lady Elaine.
-The surprise gets
rounder ever minute.
-I'll say.
I'll see you later.
-Right.
-Oh.
Hi, Lady A.
-Hi, Daniel.
Here's the round wood
for you to decorate.
-Oh, good.
I've been thinking a lot
about what I might put on it.
Can you wait a minute?
-Sure.
-OK.
Uh, why don't you
sing something?
And I'll paint as fast as I can.
OK?
-[SINGING] I think I'm
going to like today.
I think I'll call it fine.
I'll wrap it in ribbons.
[GASP]
Wow, you're really fast.
-Uh-huh.
-This is great!
The face of your clock.
-That's it.
And if you turn it
over and upside down--
[GASP]
-The pendulum of your clock.
-That's it.
-Oh, Daniel.
I do love you so much.
-Oh, and I love you.
-I'll take it right away
over to the Museum-Go-Round.
-There's so much that's round.
How about a round ugga mugga?
-OK.
Ugga mugga.
-Ugga mugga.
-I hear Friday
said he was sorry.
-Yes.
It's hard for him to say that.
-Yeah, but is he really sorry?
-I think you'll find that he is.
-Well, you two know him best.
So it looks like
the round time's on.
-Here's Daniel's offering.
-Oh.
This is perfect.
Perfect.
Wow.
I'll put it in the R room.
It's going to be
a fine surprise.
-And do you like
mine, Lady Elaine?
-Oh, it's great.
Yours is great.
-A certain handy
person repaired it.
-Oh, you're something
else, Handy.
I bet you even know round music.
See you.
-Hey, I bet we could come
up with some round music.
Let's see.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-There will be lots
of round things.
Lots of round surprises too.
[SINGING] There will be
lots of round things.
-[SINGING] There will
be lots of round things.
-[SINGING] Lots of
round surprises.
-[SINGING] Lots of
round surprises.
-[SINGING] There will
be lots of round things.
-[SINGING] There will
be lots of round things.
-[SINGING] Lots of
round surprises.
-[SINGING] Lots of
round surprises.
[CHIMING]
[CHIMING]
-What do you think
the surprise will be?
With all those round things?
Now, we'll think more
about that next time.
Right now there are some
fish who need some food.
Mm-hmm.
And here they are.
How about some
food for you fish?
King Friday tried to make a
rule saying that everyone's hurt
feelings had to turn
into good feelings.
But nobody can order
anybody else how to feel.
And when he said
"I'm sorry," well,
that was a good beginning.
But he has to show how
kind he can really be.
That's what's most important.
[KNOCKING]
Oh, let's go see who that is.
It's Marilyn Barnett.
Hi, Marilyn.
-Hi, Fred.
How are you?
-Good.
You have something for us?
-Yes.
Do you have time
for some exercises?
-Sure.
Inside or out?
-Let's try it outside.
-OK.
Do you have any round exercises?
-Round exercises?
Yes, I do have round exercises.
Would you like to try some?
-Yeah, I would.
Yeah.
-OK.
Before we do those,
we always warm up.
-Oh, that's right.
-OK, try this one.
Just take a step.
And back together.
And another step.
And back together.
Bend your knees.
Step.
Together.
-Can you do that?
-Step.
Together.
Now move the arms.
That's it.
-It's like a dance.
-You'll master it.
Step.
That's it.
That's it.
That was a little warm-up.
-Oh, I'll say.
-Let me show you
this round exercise.
Now, this is for the sides where
you really need to stretch,
especially when you
wake up in the morning,
and also for the
back of the legs.
-OK.
-Watch me first.
Arms overhead, feet
just a little bit apart.
Stretch.
Just feel the stretch.
Now lean to one side.
Now let's try leaning
to the other side.
Do you feel that stretch?
-Yes.
-OK, now we're going
to start around.
Bow your arms all the way out.
-Oh, you mean the
whole way around.
-Bend.
Now bend to the front.
Good.
That's it.
Stretch.
All the way up.
Did you see that circle?
-I saw your circle, yeah.
-Great.
-Mine looked more like a square.
-No, yours was very good.
Stretch the other way.
-Oh, the other way?
-I'm going to help
you a little bit.
That's it.
That's it.
Stretch down.
That's very nice.
All the way up.
Phew.
Was that a nice stretch?
-Very good stretch.
-Good.
All right, now let's
do some toning.
Let's strengthen our muscles.
-All right.
-Now you're going to see
these little circles.
Let me-- you're
going to help me.
-All right.
-I'm going to use your arm.
I'm going to bend both legs.
And I'm going to extend
this leg to the side.
The knee stays forward.
And I'll make little circles.
Do you see those little circles?
MR. ROGERS: Isn't that hard?
-That is hard.
But it's really
good for the legs.
And I'm exercising some
muscles we don't normally use.
That's what makes it so hard.
And then back down.
Do you want to try it?
-Sure.
-Yes.
Use my arm.
-OK.
Should I do this one?
-OK.
Now what-- first you
want to bend both knees.
That's it.
Now extend it out.
OK.
Little circles.
Good.
Oh, that's nice!
-Is that too big?
-Make them loose.
That's it.
-Ooh, I can feel
that right here.
-Oh, can you?
Good.
-Yeah.
-That's where you're
supposed to feel
it, right against the side.
Let's try the other leg, OK?
Now--
-This way?
-We're going to go this way.
I'll hold you here.
Can you make your circles?
That's it.
-Oh, I'm glad you're holding me.
I'd fall over.
-I was going to try it with
you, but I can't do it.
I have to watch you.
That's it.
-Can you do that?
You need somebody to hold onto.
-OK, you don't want to bounce.
Just calm-- that's it.
Very nice.
OK, that's about
all I have time for.
Will you work on
those exercises?
-I sure will.
You have to get back to school?
-I have to get back to school.
MR. MCFEELY: Speedy Delivery.
-Oh, there's Mr. McFeely.
-I don't want to
interrupt your exercises.
-No, I was just
leaving, Mr. McFeely.
-Back to your school?
-Yes.
-Alrighty.
-You have a nice day.
-You too.
Bye-bye, Marilyn.
Oh, we were doing all
sorts of round exercises.
-I'll bet.
Well, I have a video
here to show you.
-What is it?
-It's how people make bread.
You know, they make bread
in many different ways,
but I thought you'd like
to see how people make
bread in lots of
bread at one time.
-Oh, you mean in
a bread factory.
-In a great big bakery.
-Oh, in a great big bakery.
-That's right.
-Will you watch it with me?
-I will.
I have some time.
-Good, come on in.
-And I can explain it.
-Right after you.
-Thank you.
Put it in Picture Picture.
How people make bread.
-Lots of bread, all at one time.
-All at one time.
When people make
bread like this,
they start by putting all the
ingredients into a big mixer.
Flour comes out of this hopper.
MR. ROGERS: You mean
there's flour in there?
MR. MCFEELY: Mm-hmm.
There's flour,
water, shortening,
yeast, and other ingredients.
They all go into the mixer.
And this man sets the
controls for the mixer.
You see the ingredients?
MR. ROGERS: I see
flour, I think.
MR. MCFEELY: And
there's some water.
MR. ROGERS: Water, uh-huh.
MR. MCFEELY: Then he
closes it and turns it
on to mix the dough.
MR. ROGERS: You
mean it's getting
all mixed up in that machine?
MR. MCFEELY: It's going to open.
You'll-- you'll see
the blades mixing.
You see?
MR. ROGERS: Oh, yes.
Isn't that fun to watch?
MR. MCFEELY: When
it's finished mixing,
he sets the controls
to dump the dough
into a big trough behind
the mixing platform.
MR. ROGERS: Oh.
What-- what's a trough?
MR. MCFEELY: Oh, it
rhymes with "dough."
It-- it's a big container.
MR. ROGERS: Look at that.
MR. MCFEELY: Here it comes.
MR. ROGERS: And it all goes
out into that place, huh?
MR. MCFEELY: That's right.
After it sits for
a while, the trough
brings it to this hopper,
where it's dumped again.
MR. ROGERS: Wow.
That looks very heavy.
MR. MCFEELY: Well, I'm told
it weighs 2,500 pounds.
MR. ROGERS: My.
MR. MCFEELY: It comes
out at the bottom.
And it's cut into little
balls by this machine.
And that machine's
called a divider.
MR. ROGERS: Isn't
that fun to watch?
That big batch of
dough makes lots
of balls of dough, Mr. McFeely.
Are they going to be
round loaves of bread?
MR. MCFEELY: Well, wait 'til
you see what happens next.
The round balls of dough go for
a little ride to this machine
that this man's checking.
And here the dough
gets flattened.
MR. ROGERS: Oh.
They look like pancakes.
MR. MCFEELY: And next on to
this machine to get rolled.
And then each one drops
into its own baking pan.
MR. ROGERS: Yeah.
Are they ready to get baked now?
MR. MCFEELY: No, not yet.
First it has to go into a proof
box for an hour so it can rise.
MR. ROGERS: For a whole hour?
MR. MCFEELY: Yes, it takes that
long for the yeast to make it
rise.
MR. ROGERS: And that's a
proof box they're going in?
MR. MCFEELY: That's what
they call it, a proof box.
MR. ROGERS: And it's
warm in there, I guess?
MR. MCFEELY: That's right.
MR. ROGERS: And
what happens next?
MR. MCFEELY: Well,
the risen dough
is now ready to go in
the oven to be baked.
MR. ROGERS: I really
like watching this.
MR. MCFEELY: There it goes.
It's going to the oven.
MR. ROGERS: Bye-bye, bread.
MR. MCFEELY: Into the oven
MR. ROGERS: Is that
big thing the oven?
MR. MCFEELY: Yes, it is.
MR. ROGERS: Looks like a train.
MR. MCFEELY: Well--
now, she's checking
to make sure the bread
is baking just right.
MR. ROGERS: Looks
mighty good to me.
MR. MCFEELY: Oh, me too.
And when it's finished baking,
it has to come out of the pans.
MR. ROGERS: Well,
how do they do that?
I mean, it-- those pans
are very hot, aren't they?
MR. MCFEELY: Oh, they are.
But wait.
You'll see.
These suction cups gently lift
the bread out of the hot pans.
MR. ROGERS: Look at that.
They come right up
out of those pans.
MR. MCFEELY: After the bread
goes for another little ride
to cool off, it goes
into the slicing machine.
MR. ROGERS: I don't see it--
MR. MCFEELY: You will.
MR. ROGERS: --getting sliced.
MR. MCFEELY: There it is.
MR. ROGERS: Oh, there.
MR. MCFEELY: One loaf
at a time gets sliced.
MR. ROGERS: There you
can see it's sliced.
MR. MCFEELY: And the
last place the bread goes
is the bagging machine.
MR. ROGERS: Bagging?
MR. MCFEELY: That's right.
MR. ROGERS: Putting on the bags.
MR. MCFEELY: And now
it can go to the store
so people can buy and enjoy it.
MR. ROGERS: That
is really beautiful
to see all those
loaves of bread coming
along there in that big bakery.
-Well, I thought you'd enjoy it.
Well, I have more
deliveries to make.
Oh, and speaking of deliveries--
-Yes?
-[SINGING] If there's
anything you want,
if there's anything you
need, McFeely's Delivery
brings it to you
here with speed.
Yes, our Speedy Delivery
is a speedy delivery.
Speedy Delivery to you.
Speedy Delivery!
-Thank you again, Mr. McFeely.
-Oh, you're quite welcome.
I have more deliveries.
See you around the neighborhood.
-All right.
-Bye-bye.
-Bye.
[SINGING] Speedy
Delivery to you.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Our newly-repaired ukulele.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Maybe I'd play "Tree Tree Tree."
Would you sing that with
me, "Tree Tree Tree"?
-[SINGING] Tree tree tree.
Tree tree tree.
Tree tree tree.
Tree tree tree.
We love you, yes we do.
Yes, we do.
We love you.
You know, people can love
you exactly how you look
and sound and feel,
right this minute.
And the more people
love you, the more
you're able to love others.
That's what's wonderful
about real love.
It just keeps growing
and growing and growing.
[SINGING] It's such a good
feeling to know you're alive.
It's such a happy feeling.
You're growing inside.
And when you wake
up ready to say,
I think I'll make
a snappy new day.
It's such a good feeling,
a very good feeling.
The feeling you know that I'll
be back when the day is new.
And I'll have more
ideas for you.
And you'll have things
you'll want to talk about.
I will too.
We will have things to talk
about and things to do.
We always have good
times together, don't we?
I'll be back next time.
Goodbye.
