How are you?
Oh, I'm so glad to see you.

I was walking down the street
and three different friends

walked up to me and said,
"Here. Something for you."

I put them in here.
This is called a briefcase.

"Brief" is another word
for letter,

so it's really a letter case,
or a case for your letters.

But it wasn't letters
that they had given me.

No. I'll show you.

Mister Rogers.
Mm-hmm.

[ Chuckling ]
Here's another one.

You see?

That's the traffic light,
isn't it?

Here we are, standing
right in the room.

And then one great big one.

And on the other side,
the trolley.

[ Trolley dinging ]

See the trolley?

Most of the pictures
that you send me

I have in a great, big book
at my office where I work.

Oh, boy, do I like them. Yep.

Of course, you know today
is a very special day,

not only because
of these nice pictures,

but because there's
going to be an opera

in the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe.

♪ Today is a very special day ♪

♪ It is ♪

♪ A very, very, very
special day, yes sir ♪

♪ A very, very, very, very,
very, very, very, very ♪

♪ very, very, very
special day ♪

And I hope it'll be
a good opera, too.

[ Knocking at door ]

Somebody at the door.
Let's see who it is.

Who is at my door?

[ Trumpet fanfare ]
Are you
Mister Rogers?

Yes, I am.

A message to you

from his Royal Highness,
Friday the 13th.

Oh, thank you very much.
How is King Friday?

He's very well,
thank you.

Oh, we've been
missing him.

You know, he's been away
for quite a while.

Would you tell him
that we've missed him?

I will.
Farewell, sir.

Farewell to you.
Thank you.

Whew.

Doesn't King Friday have
fancy people

to deliver his mail?

Let's see what it says.

Another envelope inside.

"Dear Mister Rogers,
if it were not for me,

you would not be
reading this letter."

[ Chuckles ]
Well, that's true.

"Your beloved king
is enjoying an extended stay

at Sara Saturday's house.

We have cup custard
and root beer every day.

I haven't heard
from my subjects

in the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe.

I trust that all is well there.

Of course, my castle is fine.

You know that
nothing must go on there

without my permission.

I trust you are the same.
Your king, Friday the 13th."

Oh dear. What about the opera?

He hasn't given
his permission for that.

Let's tell Miss Paulificate
that we've got this.

Hello,
MissPaulificate?
[ Tinkling ]

Yes, it's Mister Rogers.
How are you?
[ Tinkling ]

Oh, we have a note
from King Friday,

and it's a little disturbing,
Miss Paulificate.

[ Tinkling ]

Oh, well, we could
send it on, yes.

Who will receive it?
[ Tinkling ]

Oh, Reardon
will pick it up.

Alright. We'll put it on
the trolley, Miss Paulificate.

Okay?
[ Tinkling ]

Fine. And you'll have
Mr. Reardon receive it.
[ Tinkling ]

Good. We'll do that now.
Thank you.

Reardon can read it
and see what he thinks about it.

[ Trolley dinging ]
Oh, there's the trolley now.

Oh, Trolley, would you
please take this

to Make-Believe for us?

It's a very
important note.

Thank you very much.
Let's see what happens.

[ Dinging ]

Oh, Trolley,
stop, dear.

Yes. I just take
this, uh, little note here.

Yes. You can
go on now, dear.

Thanks very much.
Just take it.

Oh, stop, Trolley, please.
Stop. Oh, thank you.

I've got to find
this little note here

that's for me but, well,
I don't seem to see it.

Huh. Miss Paulificate
must have been mistaken.

Well, thank you, Trolley.
Thank you.

[ Dinging ]

♪♪

♪♪

Hello, Ben Franklin.

Oh, I'm tired, Reardon.

Are you? Why?

I dreamed and dreamed
the whole night long.

You did. Were they
good dreams or bad dreams?

Bad dreams.
Bad dreams.

Well, would you like
to tell me about them?

Yeah. Well, they all
had to do with King Friday,

and he was
angry with us

for using his garden
for the opera.

Mmm. Mmm. Well, I've been
a little worried

about that myself, X.

I mean, I don't like to use
other people's things

when they don't know
about it.

Yeah. Well, what
can we do, Reardon?

The opera's
supposed to be today.

Maybe we could call him.
That's a great idea.

I've got a long-distance
can in my tree.

I'll go get it.
You do? Fine.

Uh-huh. Yeah.
Just a minute.

A long-distance can,
that's just what we need.

Here it is.
There is is.

"Long Distance".

Right. Pull out
a good length of wire.

Oh, I will, because
it's a long distance

to Sara Saturday's house.

Long shot.
There, let's see.

Do you think that's about
as far as Sara Saturday lives?

One little bit more.
One more. Alright.

There.
There.
That should be it.

Now, let's see.
Uh, hello, operator?

[ Tinkling ]

Uh, can I make
a long-distance can
call, please, to...

[ Tinkling ]
Yes. I want to speak
to King Friday the 13th

please, at
Sara Saturday's house.

[ Tinkling ]

Yes. Yes. Yes.
I'll wait.

[ Tinkling ]

They're ringing.
Good.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]

Whoa! Oh, hello, King Friday,
Your Majesty.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]
How are you?

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]
It's King Friday.

Well, that's fine.
This is Reardon.

Uh, are you having a good time
there at Sara Saturday's?

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]
Oh, that's fine.

He's having a good time,
so he's in a good mood.

Ask him.
Uh, may I ask you
a favor, please?

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]

Yes. Well,
the favor is this.

I wonder if I might have
your permission, please,

to use your castle garden
for an opera?
Yeah.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]

Oh, I may. Thank you.
Thank you.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]

Well, there's
one condition.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]

Oh. Oh, that someone take
pictures of the whole opera

so you can see
what happened.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]
Uh-huh.

Well, Your Majesty,
that's easy

because we have
a lady in the opera

who takes pictures
of everything.
The whole thing.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]
[ Chuckles ]

Well, no, we haven't
thought of quite everything,

but we've done
pretty well, I think.

I'm going to be
Ben Franklin.

Tell him that.
Oh, yes, yes, I will.

He just asked.
Oh, good.

Yes. Yes, X is in the opera,
and he's playing -- guess what?

Ben Franklin.
[ Grand piano-music
plays ]

Would you like
to talk to him?
Yep. Yep.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]
Alright.
Just a minute.

I'll talk to him.
He wants to talk to you.

Hi, King Friday.
[ Grand piano-music
plays ]

Yeah. I am Ben Franklin.
I am he.

I am Ben Franklin.
I am he. [ Laughing ]

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]

Yeah. I'll do my best.

Thank you so much for letting us
use your garden, King Friday.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]

Are you enjoying
your vacation?

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]

He's delighted
we called him.

Oh good, I'm so glad.
Yeah. We've been
missing you, King Friday.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]
Okay. Bye.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]
Goodbye,
King Friday.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]
That's great.

Now we can do it without
feeling bad about it at all.

Yes. I feel so much
better about that.

Boy, so do I.

Get in this
long-distance rope here.
Here it goes.

Just about there.
Right. Here it is.

Oh, Lady Aberlin!
How are you?

Oh, man.

Lady Aberlin,
you're not ready.

Well, I...

I-I just don't think
we ought to do it.

Not do the opera?
No.

Why not?

Well...

We've got to do it,
Lady Aberlin.

I mean, it will be fun.
You're taking pictures and all.

Well, I know -- I know
it will be fun, X,

but without
Uncle Friday's permission,

I-I just don't
want to.

But we have your
uncle's permission.
Yeah.

You do?
Yeah. We do.Yes.

How did you get it?

On this
long-distance can here.

Do you want to
talk with him, too?

Oh, could I?
Yeah, sure.
Just call long-distance.

Oh, I've really
missed him.

I-I-I-I'd love to
talk with him.

Yeah. Pull out
the cord.
You hold
the can while

I pull out
the long-distance.

Alright. Right?

Alright.
That should be it.

Hello, operator?
[ Tinkling ]

X the Owl: Yeah.

I'd like to speak to
King Friday the 13th, please.

He's at
Sara Saturday's place.

[ Tinkling ]

Oh, thank you.
Yes, I'll hold on.

[ Tinkling ]
Yeah. He sounded
so good.

Hello, Edgar?
[ Tinkling ]

How are you?
[ Tinkling ]

Edgar Cooke.
Oh, grand.
Is -- Is Uncle Friday there?

[ Tinkling ]

Oh, he isn't there.

He -- He's walking with
Sara Saturday in the garden.

Oh.
He's walking
with Sara Saturday.

Well, Edgar? Uh,
would you tell Uncle Friday

that -- that -- that
we're going to

take lots of pictures
of the opera,

and you can see
just what it's like?

[ Tinkling ]

Oh, grand. I'll congratulate
everyone. Bye.
[ Tinkling ]

X the Owl:
Okay, opera-whoppers.
Let's go do it.
I feel better.

Well.
Yeah.
Are you ready, Reardon?

Well, I'm ready.
Are you ready?

Oh, almost ready.
Sure we are.

I'll be ready
in a minute.
Yeah.

Get ready, Lady Aberlin,
and we'll be right over there.

Off we go.
Okay, come along,
opera lovers.

Oh, here I am all dressed
and everything.

Where is everyone?

It's time for the opera
to begin. Where is everybody?

Here I am,
Lady Elaine.

Oh, good. What's
been keeping you?

Oh, we've just been
talking to the king.

You squealed on me...
Oh, no.

...and I wanted to --
Wait. Wait, Lady Elaine.

Yes.
The king said it's
alright to have the opera.

Alright?
Yeah.

Alright. Well, what about
all of the tents?

The tents?
Yeah.

Well, they're just here
for the opera, aren't they?

Mm. Beautiful camp sites,
beautiful tents.

Alright. Time for
the opera now.

I'll announce it.
Remember,

you're the
Hobby Horse Express Rider.

Yes.
Do you have your horse?

Well, yes. It's right
behind the castle.

Good. And where
is Lady Aberlin?

Oh, she's there, too.
And X the Owl?

I am Ben Franklin,
you can see.

I am Ben Franklin.
I am he.

I know that, dear.

You wait 'til
it's time to come in.

Okay.

Now, first you go
riding across the front

and sing your
Hobby Horse Express song.

Yes.
And I'll wave to you,

and when you pass
my castle campsite,

you'll give me my mail.

Oh, fine. Alright.
Are we ready to begin?
Mm-hmm.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Where's my covered wagon?

Chef Brockett:
Here I am, my lady.
Oh.

I was looking
everywhere for this wheel.

Well, why
do you need a wheel?

Well, I thought I could
make the wheel go around

when we were traveling,

and then I would hold it still
when we were stopped.

-Oh, that's an excellent idea.
-Oh, an excellent idea.

Lady Elaine Fairchilde:
Good. Alright.
Now on with the opera.

Reardon is first.
You two come in later.

-Alright.
-Okay.

Okay. On with the opera.
On with the opera.
