[bunniefuu]

-[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 beauty would,

a neighborly day for a beauty.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

-[SINGING] 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?

Could 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.

Glad we're together again today.

Yeah.

How are you?

Have any idea what
might be in this box?

It says "ball float."

I'll show it to you.

It looks a little like
a ball, but it's not.

In fact, it's not a toy.

It's something I need to fix
my toilet in the bathroom.

I asked a plumber
friend of mine,

and he told me how to do it.

Said, just get a ball float
and replace the old one.

So if you like, you can
come and watch me fix it.

I'll just take it
to the bathroom.

Hi, fish.

Think I'll just put
this new one up here.

And now I'll show you
what I have to replace.

This is the old ball float.

You see that?

It's broken there
and around there.

And I'll put this on here,
and I'll see if it works.

You see, the water goes
from here down into here,

and then flushes down the drain.

And then this
fills up with water

and the float helps it to stop.

I think it's going to be OK.

There.

I'll see if there's a way
to recycle this old one.

Before I throw
something away, I always

think about recycling it.

Now, in this room
there are three

places that water goes down.

This sink here, and the
toilet that we've seen,

and the bathtub.

This bathtub drain.

See this little drain?

See that?

I'm going to put
some water in here.

And now I'll pull the
plug on the drain.

See it going down?

Now, when I was a little
boy, I would hear the rush

of the water going
down the drains

and I was afraid if I got too
close I might go down, too.

But my grandmother helped
me to understand that people

can never go down
bathroom drains.

That's why when I
grew up to be a man

I decided I'd write
a song about that.

-[SINGING] You can never
go down, can never go down,

can never go down the drain.

You can never go down,
can never go down,

can never go down the drain.

You're bigger than the water.

You're bigger than the soap.

You're much bigger
than all the bubbles,

and bigger than your telescope.

-[SINGING] So you see, you can
never down, can never go down,

can never go down the drain.

You can never go down,
can never go down,

can never go down the drain.

The rain may go down,
but you can't go down.

You're bigger than
any bathroom drain.

You can never go down,
can never go down,

you can never go down the drain.

I mean, you're much bigger than
this drain, or this drain--

[KNOCKING]

I think I hear someone knocking.

[KNOCKING]

Yes, I do.

Let's go see who
has come to visit.

Just remember, no one can ever
go down any bathroom drain.

[KNOCKING]

Coming.

Coming.

Let's see who's here.

Oh, it's Maggie Stewart.

Maggie, come in.

-Hello.

How are you today?

-Glad to see you.

-Oh, good.

I'm glad to see you.

-What do you have?

-I borrowed a copy of
this book for you, Fred.

-Oh, good.
Would you come in?

-Certainly.

I know you wanted to
learn more sign language.

-That's for sure.

"Signs For Us."

-Yes, so I brought this along.

-I remember one you
taught me some time ago.

-Oh, yes.

That's a very popular
sign for "I love you."

-I have another one.

-Another sign for "I love you?"

-I'll show you.

-OK.

Hm, one, four, three.

-I L- O- V- E Y- O- U.
It's a kind of a code.

-I see.

I like it.

I'll try it.

One is for "I."

-Uh huh.

-Four is for "love."

-Uh huh.

-Three is for "you."

-Right.

-I'll remember that.

-Good.

How would you sign "you can
never go down the drain?"

-Oh.

Would you hold this for me?

-Sure.

-Thank you.

-I think I better
start with "hello."

-Good idea.

Hello.

-Hello.

Could we look at this together?

-Yes, let's.

-Good.

We'll just sit here.

-All right.

-"Signs For Us."

-"Signs For Us."

And let's see, the
first sign is--

-Hello.

-"Hello."

-"Hello."

-Just what you were saying.

-That's wonderful.

And the next one-- oh,
this is such a nice sign.

The sign for "friend."

-"Friend."

-It's like two people
and they hug each other.

-Oh, that's beautiful.

-Uh huh.

Yes.

Wonderful.

And let's see, what's
next is "splendid."

-"Splendid."

-Yes, I like that sign.

"Splendid."

-You're splendid.

-Yes.

"Splendid."

And the sign for "book."

Just like opening a book.

There you go.

-OK now, what's the next one?

-Ah, swimming things.

We like swimming things.

The sign for "fish."

-I like that.

-Yes, uh huh.

-Either way?

-Either way.

You can have fish swimming
all over the place.

Splendid fish.

-Splendid fish.

-Yes.

That is splendid.

And the next sign is
the sign for "house."

-House.

-And you just draw a house
in the space in front of you.

It's a nice house, big house.

-Oh, like this?

-Big house.

That's very nice.

Or a little, tiny house.

-Can you do it like this?

-Yes, or medium sized house.

A splendid house.

-What else so you have here?

-Let's see the next sign.

Oh, this is another
sign for "love."

-Oh, another one.

-It's like giving
yourself a big hug.

Yes, that's a very nice sign.

-Yeah, I like that.

-Mm hm.

And at the end of the book, we
have the sign for "goodbye."

-"Goodbye."

-Uh huh, "goodbye."

-Before you go, if you
are going after "goodbye."

-Yes, I am going after goodbye.

-Would you do something for me?

-Surely.

I have another
couple of minutes.

-Would you, uh,
sign while I sing,

uh, "Let's Think of Something
to do While We're Waiting."

-Of course.

-That song.

And then, just join in
whenever you want to.

-Oh, yes.

I'd be happy to.

-[SINGING] Let's think
of something to do while

we're waiting,
while we're waiting

for something new to do.

Let's try to think up a
song while we're waiting,

that's liberating and
will be true to you.

Let's think of something
to do while we're waiting,

while we're waiting
for something new.

You know it's really
all right, in fact

it's downright quite bright,
to think of something

to do that's specific for you.

Let's think of something
to do while we're waiting.

Oh, I loved that.

-I love this language.

Ah, "splendid."

-Splendid to you.

-Yes, indeed.

-Thank you, Maggie.

-Oh, and thank you for
singing and signing with me.

Enjoyed this lesson.

You know, it takes practice
to learn anything well.

-I'll try to practice.

-OK.

-Have a good day.

-Thank you.

See you soon.

-"Hello," "goodbye."

Oh, I love learning
those things.

Let's have some make-believe.

[TROLLEY BELL]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

You know, in make believe
we pretend that Maggie

Stewart is Mayor
Maggie of Westwood.

So let's make believe that she
finally finds Purple Panda,

and they're able to give him
his mysterious package that

keeps changing
design and color, OK?

Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

[TROLLEY BELL]

[TROLLEY BELL]

-Bonjour, Trolley.

Bonjour.

Au revoir, Trolley.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

-Does that mean neighborhood?

-Oui.

[SPEAKING FRENCH], neighborhood.

-Well, my question
for you, Grandpere,

in this [SPEAKING FRENCH],
have you seen Purple Panda?

-Oh, [SPEAKING FRENCH].

-Oui.

We've been looking for
him [SPEAKING FRENCH].

-[SPEAKING FRENCH].

-He's not at your tower?

-No.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

-Well, thanks anyway.

We're trying to find
him because there's

a special package
waiting for him.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

-Let's see, who else
haven't I asked?

Maybe the Platypuses would know
something about Purple Panda.

Hello!

-Who is it?

-It's Lady Aberlin here.

-Hello, Lady A.

-Hi, and I hope I'm
not disturbing you.

-Oh, no.

I just came back from
a swim, and now I'm

going to take a shower.

-Oh, did you have a good swim?

-Oh, yes.

It was such a good time and I
love being with Purple Panda.

-You were with Purple Panda?

-Yes.

He even took me for a ride
on his back in the water.

You know, he is so very big.

-Yes, I know.

You know, we've been
looking for him everywhere.

-Well, after we swam, he said he
wanted to walk over to Westwood

before he went back
to the Planet Purple.

-Oh, Ana, thanks.

You're such a help.

-Oh, I just tell the truth.

-Well, that's really a big help.

Have a good shower.

I'll see you later.

-All right then.

Goodbye, Lady A.

-Goodbye.

Oh, I'd better speak to
someone from Westwood.

I'll call Mayor Maggie.

-Lady Aberlin?

-Mayor Maggie!

-Guess who we found in Westwood?

-Purple Panda,
straight from swimming.

-How did you know?

-Anna Platypus told me.

-Look who's here.

-Oh, hi, Purple Panda.

Is that really
you, Purple Panda?

-I am really Purple Panda.

-We have been wondering
where you were.

-I was swimming and
playing with Anna

Platypus and other friends.

-I told you why we
were so anxious to find

you, Purple Panda.

-You said that there is
some kind of package for me?

-Yes.

It's right back here in the
P-Room-- "P" for package.

I'll go get it right now.

-We'll wait for you right here.

-Good.

Thanks.

-You look splendid in
that swimming suit.

-I love to swim.

[TRUMPETS]

Sounds like King
Friday is coming.

-You're absolutely right.

-Uh, Mayor Maggie and
swimmer, I presume?

-Collect, as usual, King Friday.

-One of you sounds
like Purple Panda.

-I am Purple Panda, sire.

-You are a swimming
Purple Panda.

-Yes, sire.

-Well, you also are the receiver
of a mysterious package.

Attention, world,
bring on the package

from the P-Room
for Purple Panda.

Very good service, niece.

-Thank you, Uncle Friday.

-Attention, niece,
you may present

the package to Purple Panda.

-Thank you, Lady Aberlin.

-You're welcome.

-It is not very heavy.

-Do you see what it says?

-It says, do not open.

I wonder what is inside.

-Oh, no.

-Oh, no.

-Where did the package go?

-Oh, we forgot to tell
you about that part.

Now we'll have to
look for it again.

-Yes, again.

-Again, yes.

Package search party again.

-Thank you, Trolley.

-Thanks, Trolley.

[TROLLEY BELL]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

[TROLLEY BELL]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-They found Purple Panda, but
now the package is gone again.

That's really a
mysterious package.

But, of course, it's
all make believe.

Splendid make believe.

Remember that?

Splendid?

What was the, uh,
sign for "fish?"

This one, wasn't it?

She said we could
do it either way.

Maggie Stewart teaching us how.

We'd better feed the fish.

Want some food, fish?

Are you hungry?

Yeah, you are.

That water.

It was fun to see Purple
Panda in his swimming suit

and goggles.

He looked different at first.

But after a while, I
could tell that it was he.

I'd like to show you something
outside that a young friend

of mine loaned me.

Will you come with me?

Have you ever seen
a wagon like this?

Sometimes it's easier to
carry things in a wagon

than in your arms.

I had a wagon like
this when I was a boy.

I'd take things from
one place to another,

and sometimes I'd
even use it to make

a bed for my stuffed animals.

Yeah.

Why don't you pretend that
your favorite stuffed animal,

or toy, or whatever it is
that you like the best,

why don't you pretend that
it's right in this wagon

and we could sing to it?

I'm taking care of you.

Taking good care of you.

For once I was very little,
too, now I take care of you.

You could make your
wagon into a bed.

Make it roll along.

Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy delivery.

Speedy delivery.

-Hi.

-Well, I finally found it.

There it is.

That's the tape that you--

-Oh, how people make toy
wagons just like this one?

-Just like this one.

It's a popular tape.

-Could we show it
on Picture Picture?

-We can.

We can.

-Good.

I'd like to show my neighbors
how people make toy wagons.

-All righty.

Well, as we're watching
it, I'll explain each step.

-Very good.

-All righty.

I think you'll find
it interesting.

-Oh, I'm glad you found this.

Perfect timing.

You want to hold that?

-All righty.

-Thank you.

All right, let's watch
on Picture Picture

how people make toy wagons.

-When people make
toy wagons, they

start with big, flat
pieces of metal.

This machine forms
each metal sheet

into the main part of the wagon.

-How does it do that?

-Well, this big
section of the machine

comes down and presses the metal
into just the right shape, see?

-Oh, yes.

-There it goes.

There it is.

Now, this next machine
trims off the extra metal

around the outside edge.

-Oh, it trims it off.

-Now you'll see how it works.

Watch.

Puts it on, see?

-Oh, yes.

There, the extra.

-That's the extra metal.

And you know, the extra metal
is recycled to make more wagons.

-Oh, good.

-Ah.

-That's the part you sit in.

-Uh huh, or put things in.

-Put things in.

Now, these next machines
smooth the rough outside edges

so that people won't get hurt.

-I see.

-And puts some final
touches on each wagon

before it goes to be painted.

That's what these
machines are doing now.

-Oh, look at all of them.

-Uh huh.

They're about to be painted.

-Is that what's happening here?

-That's what's happening here.

The wagons are hung on
hooks, and this spraying

machine paints the
outside of each wagon.

-Oh, look at that red paint
coming out in a spray.

That's fun to watch.

What's happening here?

-This is a special
robotic painter.

It does the inside corners.

They're too hard for the
other sprayer to reach,

so they use this
special painter.

-And it puts on just
enough paint, doesn't it?

-That's right.

-But what about
the middle of it.

-That's next.

That's what's--
well, that's in fact

what's happening right now.

You see, the insides
are being painted

by a sprayer just like
the first sprayer.

Now, next comes the
wheels, and they're

made from this
giant roll of metal.

And the metal moves through a
machine that cuts and molds it

into just the right size
and shape to make wheels.

So that's what's happening here.

-Boy, that machine
works very quickly.

-Oh, it certainly does.

-Oh, I see.

There they are.

There are the wheels.

-So each part is
half of a wheel.

-Oh.

-In fact, here's where the parts
of the wheels are assembled.

This man places one
part on top of another,

and then the machine
presses those two parts

together to form a single wheel.

-Takes a lot of machines
to make one wagon.

-It certainly does.

But it's important to
remember that it takes

people to make
the machines work.

-That's for sure.

Now, what's happening here?

-Well, the wheels are,
need to be painted,

just like the wagons do, only
the wheels are painted white.

-What is that?

-This machine attaches the
rubber tire around the outside

of the wheel and
pops it into a bin.

-Is that fun.

-It sure is, It's my
favorite part of the tape.

-Uh huh.

-Finally it's time to
put the wagon together.

Each person carefully
assembles a different part.

And when the wagon's
all put together,

this man does a final check to
be sure it works just right.

And now the wagon's
ready to roll.

-Oh, Mr. McFeely,
I enjoyed that.

-Well, I knew you would.

Well, I have to get this popular
tape back to the library now.

-I can imagine why
it's so popular.

You know, most
children love things

that have wheels and that move.

-You know, when I
was a little boy,

I used to have a paper route
and I would deliver my papers

in a, a wagon
similar to this one.

-Really?

-And I, that's how I started
my Speedy Delivery Service,

I guess.

-Of course it is.

-Speaking of speedy deliveries,
I'd better make some more.

-Thank you very
much, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, I'll be back another
day with more tapes.

Speedy delivery.

-You make good deliveries.

-Thank you.

Goodbye.

-I like to share all kinds of
things with you-- ball floats,

good friends like
Mr. McFeely, things

and ideas and special times.

You know, that gives
me a lot of pleasure

to be able to share
those things with you.

So naturally, I'll be glad
to be back here next time.

-[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.

-[SINGING] It's such a good
feeling, a very good feeling,

a 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.

You always make it
such a special day.

You know how-- by just
your being yourself.

I look forward to the time
when I'll be saying, hello.

Right now.

I'll be back next time.

Bye bye.
