09x01 - King Daniel for the Day

[bunniefuu]

Hi, neighbor.

Guess what?

Today, King Friday is letting
me be king for the day.

I'm going to find different
ways to be kind to my neighbors.

I'll be right back.

[THEME - "DANIEL TIGER'S
NEIGHBORHOOD"]

THEME SONG: It's a beautiful
day in the neighborhood,

a beautiful day for a neighbor.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

Won't you be my neighbor?

It's Daniel Tiger's
neighborhood, a land of make

believe.

Won't you ride along with me?

Ride along.

It's Daniel Tiger's
neighborhood.

So much to do, so much to see.

Won't you ride along with me?

Ride along.

I've got lots of friends for
you to meet in this land of make

believe, a friendly face
on every street just

waiting to greet you.

It's a beautiful day
in the neighborhood,

a beautiful day for a neighbor
in Daniel Tiger's neighborhood.

Hi, neighbor.

Hi, there.

We're looking at a book
about kings and castles.

Look with us.

Here's a king.

He lives in the castle.

He has a shiny crown.

And he's the boss of everyone
He says, bring me a royal snack.

Um, do a silly dance for me.

Go get me my Tigey.

Well, kings don't have
a Tigey like mine.

Do they, Mom?

(LAUGHING) Well, some
kings might have had

a Tigey when they were little.

But you know, Daniel,
kings don't just

tell other people what to do.

What else do they do?

Let's see if we can find out.

[FANFARE MUSIC]

Huh?

A king.

Look!

It's King Friday.

Maybe King Friday can tell
us about being a king.

Well, good day.

Good day, Tiger family.
- Hello.

- Hello, King Friday.
- King Friday!

King Friday!

Yes, Daniel?

I was wondering, what
is it like being king?

I really want to know.

Well, if you
really want to know

what it's like to be king--

I do.

I hereby declare
you King Daniel.

Just for today.

Oh!
Really?

Me?

King of the whole
Neighborhood of Make-Believe?

Well, if your mom and
dad say it's all right.

- Oh, well--
- I mean--

- Of course.
- Yes.

Hurray!

Wow.

What would you do if you
were a king or a queen?

King Daniel, now
that you are the king,

I'll need you to do everything
left on this royal list.

Whoa.

That's a long list.

King Daniel, first go
to Baker Aker's Bakery

and pick up the most royally
delicious treat you can find.

Next, go to Music
Man Stan's music shop

and get the instrument that
makes the loudest sound for all

to hear.

Last, come back to the
castle with those two things.

So I need to get a sweet
treat, a loud instrument,

and I need to bring
them to the castle.

There you are, King Daniel.

Thank you.

Mom, will you help
me do everything

on King Friday's list?

Of course I will.

Even kings need help sometimes.

Grr-ific!

Let's go.

Oh, wait!

I haven't told you
the most important

thing about being a king.

What is it?

You must be kind.

Kind?

Yes.

Being kind is doing a nice thing
for someone, like helping them.

[BABY SQUEAL]

Or giving them a hug.

[BABY LAUGH]

(SINGING) You can
choose to be kind.

You can choose to be kind.

It's great to be kind,
makes everyone feel happy.

It's great to be kind.

Makes the world
a better place.

When you've helped
your friend feel better--

You're being kind.

ALL: Oooh.

Hold the door
open for each other.

You're being kind.

I see.

ALL: It's great to be kind,
makes everyone feel happy.

It's great to be kind, makes
the world a better place.

When you help one
another with clean up--

--you're being kind.

ALL: Ooh.

Share your toys with
all of your friends.

ALL: You're being kind.

I love being kind!

ALL: It's great to be kind,
makes everyone feel happy.

It's so great you will
find, so go and be kind.

Well, then.
Off you go, King Daniel.

And please bring everything
I need back to the castle.

And don't forget to be kind.

OK.

Come on, Mom.

Let's go.

OK, King Daniel.

Good day, good day, Trolley.

[TROLLEY CHIMES]

I'm King Daniel today.

See my crown?

[TROLLEY CHIMES]

Trolley, please take
us to Main Street.

[TROLLEY CHIMES]
BOTH: Bye!

Look at the little bird!

Hi, birdy.

Did you know that I'm
king of the Neighborhood

of Make-Believe today?

[BIRD CHIRPING]

Are you the king
of birds, birdy?

I wonder if there is a king of
birds or a queen of squirrels.

Hey!

Do you want to make
believe with me?

Let's make believe
we can play with all

the different kings and queens!

(SINGING) While I'm
king for the day

I do declare kings and
queens are everywhere.

Deep in the forest,
they're dancing and hopping

all around the rabbit king.

He's watching over
all the bunnies.

In her royal hive,
buzzing in a tree,

there's a mighty
queen bee watching

honey bees make sweet honey.

While I'm king for the
day I do declare kings

and queens are everywhere.

Ah, wasn't that grr-ific?

[CHUGGING NOISES]

We're almost at the bakery.

I wonder what
royally sweet treats

Baker Aker will have today.

(LAUGHING) Me too.

PRINCE TUESDAY: Ouch.

- Look, it's Prince Tuesday.
- Ouch.

[TROLLEY CHIMES]

Oh, no.

Prince Tuesday looks hurt.

(SINGING) You can
choose to be kind.

Let's go and help
Prince Tuesday.

Then we can go to the bakery.

Oww.

DANIEL: Prince
Tuesday, are you OK?

Hi, little D. Hi, Mrs. Tiger.
I'm OK.

I just-- well, I--

I hurt my ankle
playing baseball.

I'm on my way to Dr. Anna's now.

Ouch!

I think I need to
sit down and rest.

Prince Tuesday, you can rest.

And I'll go get Dr.
Anna and bring her here.

Good idea, Daniel.

I'll stay with Prince Tuesday.

I'll be so, so, so
fast, Prince Tuesday.

Dr. Anna?

Dr. Anna?

Oh my, Daniel.

Is everything OK?

Dr. Anna, can you help
Prince Tuesday, please?

He hurt his ankle.

OK, Daniel.

I'm coming right now.

I got Dr. Anna.

Oh, thank you.

Now let's take a
look at this ankle.

Ouch.

I'll just bandage this up.

Prince Tuesday, you're
going to be just fine.

Phew.

Thank you for taking
care of me, Dr. Anna.

And Daniel, thank you
for getting Dr. Anna.

That was a very
kind thing to do.

You're welcome,
Prince Tuesday.

Hope you feel better soon.

I'm glad we chose to stop
and help Prince Tuesday.

It felt good to be kind.

(SINGING) You can
choose to be kind.

Maybe we can find other
ways to be kind today.

But first, we need to get the
most royally delicious treat

from Baker Aker.

And here we are at the bakery.

Oh, I'll hold the
door for you, Mom.

Thank you, King Daniel.

[BAKER HUMMING]

And put these there.

OK.

Greetings, Baker Aker!

Hello, Baker Aker.

Oh, Mrs. Tiger
and Daniel Tiger.

What a nice surprise!

And Daniel, what a nice crown.

(LAUGHING) Thanks, Baker Aker.

I'm King Daniel, just for today.

And I need to get
the most royally

delicious treat in your
bakery, please and thank you.

Oh, my!

Well, just one
minute, King Daniel.

I need to put all of these itsy
bitsy blueberry rolls in boxes

before Mr. McFeely gets here.

There are a lot
of itsy bitsy rolls.

I can help you if you want.

Oh, that is very kind.

I would love your help.

(SINGING) You can
choose to be kind.

You can choose to be kind.

Work together and
help one another.

ALL: You're being kind.

Oooh.

Love your friends and
make them feel happy.

ALL: You're being kind.

And it's great to be kind,
makes everyone feel happy.

It's great to be kind, makes
the world a better place.

[LAUGHTER]

We packed up all
the itsy bitsy rolls.

I couldn't have
done it without you.

You are very kind, Daniel.

I mean, uh, King Daniel.

Speedy delivery.

Speedy delivery.

I'm here to pick up
some itsy bitsy rolls.

Daniel, is there something
different about you?

I'm King Daniel,
just for today.

I'm glad to see
you, King Daniel.

King Daniel helped
me pack these rolls

to get them ready for you.

My, my, my.

How kind!

Well, I better be going.

I have a speedy
delivery to make.

I'll hold the door for you.

Why, thank you.

Bye now!
- Bye, Mr. McFeely.

Bye.

Now then, King Daniel.

What brought you
to my bakery today?

I'm here to--

[TIMER DINGS]

Just one minute, King Daniel.

ALL: Mmm.

Banana bread muffins.

I was saying, I need to get
the most royally delicious

treat to take to the castle.

And I already know what to get.

A banana bread muffin, please.

Good choice.

Here you go, King Daniel.

Thanks, Baker Aker.

Have a royally good day.

Where to next, King Daniel?

Let's see.

We needed to get a sweet treat--

done-- a loud instrument, and
then take them to the castle.

(LAUGHING) Let's go.

Oh, there's my friend, O the
Owl, and his Uncle X. Hi, O!

Hi Mr. Owl!

Hi, Daniel.

Hoo-hoo.

I like your crown.

[SPLATTING]

Oh, no!

My ice cream!

It's all over the ground.

Oh, I'm sorry, O.

(SNIFFLING) That
was my special treat.

Oh!

How would you feel if
you dropped your treat?

O looks so sad.

But if he had a new treat,
he would feel better.

I'm supposed to bring
this banana bread muffin

to the castle, but
I want to give it

to O so he's not sad anymore.

(SINGING) You can
choose to be kind.

I think it would be kind to
give O the banana bread muffin,

don't you?

I'm going to choose
to give it to O.

O, I'm sorry you
dropped your ice cream,

but do you want this treat?

It's a banana bread muffin.

Really?

And you want to give it to me?

Uh-huh.

Oh, thank you, thank
you, thank you, Daniel.

You're welcome, O.

That was very
kind of you, Daniel.

Thank you.

[SIGHING]

Now I don't have a treat
to take to the castle.

Well, at least I can get a loud
instrument at the music shop.

Duh duh duh da!

Here we are at Music
Man Stan's music shop.

And look, here's
Music Man Stan.

Hi, Music Man Stan.

Well, hi there, Daniel.

[WIND WHISTLING]

Oh, no!

The wind.

Oh!

Come back here!

(SINGING) You can
choose to be kind.

Thanks a bunch, Tigers.

Oh, there!

Phew!

I think we got them all,
thanks to your help.

Wait a second, Daniel.

There's something
different about you.

(LAUGHING) I'm wearing
King Friday's crown.

I'm King Daniel, just for today.

King Daniel, you
were very kind to help

me pick up all that paper.

Come on in.

And tell me how I can help you.

I'm here to pick
out the instrument

that makes the loudest
sound to take to the castle.

Pick out any instrument
that you would like.

Thanks!

Which instrument do you think
makes the loudest sound?

I think we should play
some of them and see.

Look!

The triangle.

Do you think the
triangle will be loud?

[SOFT HIGH-PITCHED NOTES]

I like this sound, but
it's not that loud.

Let's try something else.

Ooh, the maracas!

Do you think the
maracas will be loud?

Let's play them and see.
[SOFT RATTLING]

Uh, shake, shake, shake,
shake, shake-a shake-a.

You play too!

Shake-a, shake-a, shake-a,
shake-a, shake-a, shake-a!

I like shaking the maracas, but
they're not that loud either.

Oh, the cymbals!

[SOFT MUSICAL CRASH]

Do you think the
cymbals will be loud?

[LOUD MUSICAL CRASH]

[LAUGHTER]

That was really loud.

I choose the cymbals.

The cymbals are Miss
Elaina's favorite too.

I know.

Let me check if we got
everything we needed.

We needed to get a sweet
treat, and a loud instrument,

and then take them
to the castle.

Well, we don't have
the sweet treat,

but we can bring the
cymbals to the castle.

Let's go!
Thank you!

Thanks, Music Man Stan.

Have fun, Tigers.

BOTH: (SINGING) We're
on our way to the castle

on this royal day.

Won't you walk along with--
Oh, look.

It's Miss Elaina.

[GIGGLING]

[SPLASH]

(GASPING) Astrid!

Oh, no!

Oh, no.

Miss Elaina's sad.

Mom, I want to go
help Miss Elaina.

That's very kind
of you, Daniel.

Hi, Miss Elaina.

Uh, what happened to Astrid?

I-- I was hugging her, but
then she fell in a puddle

and got wet and dirty.

My mama's going to clean
her up, but I'm so sad.

I'm sorry you're sad.

Maybe I can cheer you up.
Look!

[CYMBALS CRASH]

It's the cymbals, your favorite.

I love the cymbals.

[CYMBALS CRASH]

Oh, loud!

That made me feel a
little bit better.

I'm supposed to take
the cymbals to the castle,

but they make Miss
Elaina so happy.

Do you think I should give
the cymbals to Miss Elaina?

Miss Elaina, do you want to keep
the cymbals for a little while?

Oh, thank you,
thank you, thank you!

You're a good friend.

Thanks, Miss Elaina.

(SINGING) You can
choose to be kind.

[TROLLEY CHIMES]

Hear ye, hear ye!

King Daniel has to go now.
Bye!

[CYMBALS CRASH]

Bye, King Daniel!

Thank you!

[CYMBALS CRASH]

MOM TIGER: To the
castle please, Trolley.

[CYMBALS CRASH]
[TROLLEY CHIMES]

Well, King Daniel, are you
ready to go to the castle?

I guess.

Hmm.

Why don't you sound
happy, Daniel?

I don't have any of
the things that King

Friday asked me to get.

I guess I didn't
do my job as king.

[TROLLEY CHIMES]

Welcome, King Daniel.

Did you bring
everything I asked for?

No, King Friday.

I-- I don't have anything.

I guess I didn't do
a good job as king.

Well, Daniel, what
I heard was that you

did do a wonderful job as king.

I did?

You did.

But how?

I don't have anything
you asked for.

Daniel, being king is about
helping others and being kind.

And I heard from the neighbors
that you found lots of ways

to be kind today.

[GIGGLING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

(SINGING) It felt so great
when you chose to be kind.

It put a smile on my face
when you chose to be kind.

When you're kind
to your friends

it makes your love shine.

You cheered me up when
you chose to be kind.

ALL: You can choose to be
kind, so let your love shine.

You can choose to be kind.

Being kind is the
right thing to do.

Being kind to
others feels good too.

ALL: You can choose to be kind.

Any place or any time,
you can choose to be--

you can choose to be kind,
so let your love shine.

Oh, can choose to be--
- --kind.

King Daniel, I hereby declare
that you have done your job.

And you have done it very well.

Thank you, King Friday.

Let's hear it for King Daniel.

ALL: Hurray for King Daniel!

Thanks for letting me be
king today, King Friday.

Being king was very
different than I thought.

And I learned a lot.

I'm so glad that
you are our king.

Thank you, Daniel.

It was fun being
the king for a day.

Did you know there are
so many ways to be kind?

Even the little ways
make people so happy.

Be kind.

Ugga mugga.

[MUSIC - "IT'S SUCH A GOOD
FEELING"]

(SINGING) It's such
a good feeling to play

with family and friends.

It's such a happy feeling
when they lend you a hand.

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,

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.

Because it's you I like.

Let's go see some neighbors.

ALL: Hi, neighbor!

We're going to
go around town--

--and do something
nice for our neighbor--

--and families.

Come on!
- Hi.

I'm Ryan.

I'm going to collect
food and blankets

for my local animal shelter.

Hey, Ryan.
Thanks for all these donations.

The animals are
going to love them.

You're welcome.

Hi.
My name is Jasmine.

And I'm going to make
some feel-good notes

and pictures for Mom.

All right, Mom.

I'm ready.
MOM: OK.

Just let me get my
lunch box first.

Hi.

And I'm going to help my
neighbor rake up her leaves.

Hi, Jocelyn.

want me to start?

Right this way.
GAVIN: OK.

JOCELYN: Thanks, Gavin.

You're welcome.
Bye.

JOCELYN: Bye.

My name is Thomas.

And today I'm going to
help my grandparents.

OK, Thomas.
Let's get this stuff put away.

OK.

You did a good job
carrying them up for us.

THOMAS: Where do these go?

In the refrigerator.

I'll put them in.
Thank you.

[INAUDIBLE]

Thomas, honey, thank you
so much for helping us.

- You're welcome.
- Hi.

My name's Anesha.

And I'm going to make
cookies for my new neighbors.

Hello.
ANESHA: Hi.

My name's Anesha.

And I made cookies
for you to welcome

you to the neighborhood.

Well, that's so nice.

Thanks, neighbor.

ANESHA: You're welcome.

Bye.

Bye.

Now you can choose
to do something

nice for your neighbor.

Thanks for coming
with us, neighbor.

ALL: Bye!

I like these visits with you.
