[MUSIC PLAYING]

-[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-wood,

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?

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.

You know what these are?

They're suitcases.

But I'm not going away.

No.

I'm using them to carry things.

You want to guess what
might be inside the big one,

this big one down here?

Wanna guess what
might be in there?

You wanna guess what might
be inside this little one?

I'll show you.

This little suitcase
has little hats in it.

Mm-hmm.

Look at those little hats.

Look at that.

Aren't they great?

Now the big suitcase
has big hats.

Mm-hmm.

Do you like to get
dressed up and play?

I always like to do that.

Children have so many
good ideas for play.

[SINGING] Who can
crawl under a table?

Who can sit under a chair?

Who can fit their feet in little
shoes and sleep most anywhere?

Who can play very
much longer, play

much harder than
grown-ups ever dare?

You're a child,
so you can do it.

You can do it everywhere.

Roll in the grass.

Squoosh in the mud.

Lick an ice cream cone.

Sing to a bass.

Splash in a flood.

Buy a stepping stone all alone.

Who can put your hand
in my hand and be

ready to feel all
safe and strong?

You're a child,
so you can do it.

Children do it all life long.

Ooh.

I like these hats.

I like these hats.

Look at this one.

[KNOCKING]

Ooh.

There's somebody at the door.

Let's see who that is.

Oh.

It's Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy delivery.

-Hi, Mr. McFeely.
-Oh.

You're wearing a propeller hat.

-I certainly am.

-Well, I finally got the
pictures put into the book.

-Oh, good.

You mean the ones with the hats?

-Yes.
Would you like to see them?

-Oh, I would.

Come on down, will ya?

-All righty.

-I want to, uh, would
you try this one one?

-All right.

Well, they're the hats
I used for the pictures.

Now let's see.

I'll try this one.

Could you hold that?

-Yup.

-There we go.

-Very good.

-This is the hat that Betty
Aberlin wore in the picture.

-Well, do you have time
to look at them with me?

-Oh, I surely do.

Let me put this one back.

-All right.

-I have an extra helper today.

So I have some time.

-Good.

Well, let's just sit on
the couch and look at them.

-All righty.

I'm proud how they turned out.

-Ooh.

I'm anxious to see them.

-Here we go.

MR. ROGERS: "Neighborhood
Photo Album."

Oh.

There you are.

MR. MCFEELY: Wearing a top hat.

That's right.

Well, Betsy took that picture.

MR. ROGERS: That's an
excellent picture of you.

MR. MCFEELY: Now, the
next picture I took.

MR. ROGERS: Maggie Stewart.

MR. MCFEELY: Wearing a fire hat.

MR. ROGERS: Doesn't
she look good there?

MR. MCFEELY: She certainly does.

Now here's another
one that I took.

MR. ROGERS: She's
a good player too.

Oh.

And Chuck Aber.

MR. MCFEELY: Know what
kind of a hat that is?

MR. ROGERS: No.
What is that?

MR. MCFEELY: It's an
old-fashioned straw hat.

MR. ROGERS: Yes.

I tried that on a
little while ago.

MR. MCFEELY: Here
is another one.

MR. ROGERS: Marilyn Barnett.

MR. MCFEELY: You recognize
that hat, don't you?

MR. ROGERS: Yes.

Like the one I have on.

-Propeller hat.

All right.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, she's
a great player too.

MR. MCFEELY: Now
there's Joe Negri.

Now, it's hard to see that hat.

Do you know what kind it is?

MR. ROGERS: Is that a beret?

MR. MCFEELY: A beret.

That's right.

Joe Negri wearing a beret.

Another one.

MR. ROGERS: [SPEAKING FRENCH]

MR. MCFEELY:
There's Audrey Roth.

And she's wearing a fancy hat.

Has some flowers
and some feathers.

MR. ROGERS: Very fancy.

Doesn't she look great in that.

MR. MCFEELY: She certainly does.

Now here's another one.

MR. ROGERS: Bob Trow.

MR. MCFEELY: And he's wearing
sort of a Western hat.

MR. ROGERS: Mm-hmm.

MR. MCFEELY: I think
you'll recognize--

MR. ROGERS: Fine person he is.

Oh.

There's Betty.

MR. MCFEELY: Betty Aberlin.

And that hat I tried on.

MR. ROGERS: Just a
little while ago.

MR. MCFEELY: That's like
a yellow straw sun hat.

MR. ROGERS: I like these
pictures, Mr. McFeely.

MR. MCFEELY: Thank you.

I enjoyed taking them.

-You have many
talents, Mr. McFeely.

-But the Speedy Delivery
Service is my main business.

And I'd better be on my way.

-I know that.

-And remember, [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.

See you--

-Mr. McFeely.

-Yes?

-Could I borrow the
album for a little while?

-Oh, sure.
Keep it as long as you like.

-Oh, sure.
Keep it as long as you like.
And I'll be back some
day to pick it up.

And I'll be back some
day to pick it up.

All right?

-OK.

I like to look at pictures
over and over again.

-Well, I hope you enjoy it.

Speedy delivery.

-Good day.

MR. MCFEELY: Bye bye.

-Bye.

[SINGING] Speedy
delivery to you.

Do you ever put on
different clothes

and have your picture taken?

You know, you can make books out
of pictures, books and stories.

Let's have some make-believe.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Trolley.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

You know, this
propeller hat reminds me

of Lady Elaine Fairchilde in the
Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

Last time she had
gotten into a helicopter

and gone up and down just fine.

But then she did it again.

And she went up and up and
up and didn't come down.

Well, let's think more
about that, as well as hats,

as the Trolley goes into the
Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

BETTY TEMPLETON: Well,
I just go on over there.

And of course--

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

-Oh, excuse me, Betty.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh, please Trolley.

Let us know if you do find her.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

Thank you.

Now, what were you
saying, Mrs. Templeton?

BETTY TEMPLETON: Oh,
I'm Betty to you, dear.

You know that.

-Oh, yes of course.

BETTY TEMPLETON: I've
got this new chapeau

and I wanted to
show it to Lainie.

Do you like it?

-Oh, most becoming.

BETTY TEMPLETON: Well, I
went over to her museum

and couldn't find her anywhere.

You know what it's like when
you have something that pleases

you, you just want to
share it with your friend.

At any rate, why are you
dressed up like that?

-Oh.

I'm a yo-yo guard.

BETTY TEMPLETON: I see.

I always liked yo-yos myself.

I used to twirl a mean
one, I'll tell ya.

It's sweet of you to
want to guard them.

Don't think I've ever heard
of a yo-yo guard before.

That's why I like to come here,
always something interesting.

[TRUMPETS]

-Oh, here he is.

I've been waiting for him.

[TRUMPETS]

KING FRIDAY: Lady Aberlin and
Mrs. Templeton, I presume.

-Correct as usual, Uncle Friday.

BETTY TEMPLETON: You could
call me Betty, if you like,

King Friday.

KING FRIDAY: I shall
call you Mrs. Templeton.

BETTY TEMPLETON:
Well, that's fine too.

After all, it's my name.

It's just more formal and--

-Uh, Uncle Friday.

I have been calling you
because I need your counsel.

KING FRIDAY: What about?

-Well, this may come as
a shock to both of you.

BETTY TEMPLETON:
Is it about Lainie?

KING FRIDAY: What has
Lady Elaine done now?

-Well, she has gone up in
the air in a helicopter.

BETTY TEMPLETON: Oh!

That sounds wonderful!

Was she wearing a hat?

-I don't remember.

All I know is that she
calls her helicopter Yo-Yo.

KING FRIDAY: Yo-Yo, you say?

-Yes.

That's, that's her name
for her helicopter.

KING FRIDAY: Doesn't
anybody remember my rule?

No yo-yos in this neighborhood.

-Well, yes.

But that is not
the major problem.

KING FRIDAY: It is for me.

I suggest that you do
your job, Lady Aberlin,

and get rid of all reference
to yo-yos in this neighborhood.

-But Uncle Friday--

KING FRIDAY: No buts about it.

Carry on with your work.

Good day to you both.

-Oh, honestly.

BETTY TEMPLETON: What is
the major problem, dear?

-Lady Elaine got
into her helicopter.

BETTY TEMPLETON: Yes?

-And then she went up and down.

BETTY TEMPLETON: That's good.

Just like a yo-yo.

-Yes.

But then she went up again.

And that time, she
didn't come back down.

BETTY TEMPLETON:
You mean Lainie's

still flying up in the air?

-That's what we think.

-Come with me, you two.

Come on.
Come on.

Come on.

-Where, Bob Dog?

-To the Museum-Go-Round.

BETTY TEMPLETON: Have
you found Lainie?

-Oh, well, you'll find out.

Just come over.

Hurry up.

BETTY TEMPLETON: Oh, I'll
meet you both over there.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-What's that?

-It's a hat

BETTY TEMPLETON: It's
a real pretty hat.

But I don't see why it has
to go up and down like that.

Maybe it's a piece of the
moving art collection here.

Do you think?

-I think it may be attached
to Lady Elaine's helicopter.

BETTY TEMPLETON: Oh, of course.

You are so smart.

That's why it's going
up and down like that.

Oh, clever Lainie, always
thinking of something.

-I think she's trying
to tell us something.

Be careful there, Bob Dog!

BETTY TEMPLETON:
What do you think

Lainie's trying to tell us?

-She probably wants
some pilot advice.

Watch out there, Bob Dog!

Careful, Bob Dog.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

BETTY TEMPLETON: Oh, my mercy!

-Lady Elaine!

Bob Dog's on your rope.

Bring him down!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

BETTY TEMPLETON: Well,
what's that thing?

-It looks like a message
for Handyman Negri.

[SINGING] Da da da
da da da da da da.

Please won't you be my neighbor?

BETTY TEMPLETON: I'll stay here.

You go get him.

-All right.

BETTY TEMPLETON: My, this is
turning into quite a drama.

-Hold on tight, Bob Dog!

We'll help you!

BETTY TEMPLETON:
Yes, we surely will.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Oh!

Miss Paulificate, I'm
so glad to see you.

-You look so worried.

-Do you know where
Handyman Negri is?

-Last time I saw him
he was in the end room.

-Oh, thanks.

I just have to find him.

-Oh, OK.

I'll guard for yo-yos out here.

-Oh, very good.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

That's right.

Betty Templeton's here.

And Bob Dog is there.

And there's lots to do.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

Hopefully we'll all
see you next time.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

-That certainly is
pretend, isn't it?

Bob Dog going up on that rope
like that, that would never

happen in our real neighborhood.

Next time we can make-believe
that Handyman Negri helps

them all somehow with his music.

Right now the fish
need some food.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I was just thinking
[SINGING] it's you I like.

It's not the things you wear.

It's not the way
you do your hair.

But it's you I like, the
way you are right now,

the way down deep inside you,
not the things that hide you.

Not your toys.

They're just beside you.

It's you I like, every part
of you, your skin, your eyes,

your feelings,
whether old or new.

I hope that you'll remember
even when you're feeling blue,

that it's you I like.

It's you yourself.

It's you.

It's you I like.

[KNOCKING]

Ooh.

There's somebody at the door.

Let's see who it is
we like at the door.

Oh.

It's Maggie Stewart.

MAGGIE STEWART: Hello, Fred.

-Hi, Maggie.

Speedy delivery.

-How are you?

Yes, indeed.
Speedy delivery to you.

-You're the one
helping Mr. McFeely.

-Yes, I am helping them today.

And I have here a
videotape about how

people make grape
jelly in a factory.

-Oh, could we see it?

-Oh, yes.

-And will you watch it with us?

-I would like to.

-Good.

Let's see it on Picture Picture.

Come along.

How people make grape jelly.

Oh, I've been hoping for that.

Will you tell us about it?

-I'd like to do that to.

-Good.

How people make grape
jelly in a factory.

MAGGIE STEWART: People
make grape jelly

from grapes that grow
on vines like these.

MR. ROGERS: What's that?

MAGGIE STEWART: Oh.

This machine is the harvester.

It picks the grapes
off of the vines.

MR. ROGERS: Aha.

Oh, there they are, the grapes.

MAGGIE STEWART: Yes.

They go on that conveyor belt.

And this woman pulls out
some of the stems and leaves.

Then down into these bins they
go, and off to the factory,

where they're dumped
into an even bigger bin.

MR. ROGERS: I have never seen
so many grapes all at one time.

MAGGIE STEWART: It
takes lots of grapes

to make jelly for people to eat.

Next they go through
this stemmer.

It takes off the rest
of the stems and leaves.

And they're taken away
on this conveyor belt.

The juice and the grapes travel
to the stemmed grape t*nk.

MR. ROGERS: It looks like
there's just juice in there.

MAGGIE STEWART: It does.

But there are
grapes in there too.

The grapes are cooked.

And as they cook, they
travel over these screens.

The juice, which will
be made into jelly,

drips down through the holes
in the screen as the seeds

and the rest of the grapes keep
moving on top of the screen.

MR. ROGERS: Oh.

So it's the juice
that's made into jelly.

MAGGIE STEWART: Right.

MR. ROGERS: Aha.

MAGGIE STEWART: While the
juice is being squeezed out

of the grapes, this man
adds something called pectin

to some water that's
already in this t*nk.

All that will be added to
the juice to make the jelly.

MR. ROGERS: What's pectin?

MAGGIE STEWART: It helps
make the juice thick.

And when it cools,
it will become jelly.

MR. ROGERS: So that's the
pectin and the water cooking?

MAGGIE STEWART: That's right.

On to the cook room, where
the juice, pectin, and water

and some other ingredients
are mixed together and cooked.

It's becoming jelly now.

Here are the jars that
will be filled with jelly.

This is really fun to watch.

MR. ROGERS: They get
filled up so fast.

Look at that.

MAGGIE STEWART: They do.

But watch carefully.

The lids for the jars
are put on even faster.

MR. ROGERS: So those are the
lids coming down the slide?

MAGGIE STEWART: Yes.

To go right on top of the jars.

MR. ROGERS: Hmm.

What fun.

MAGGIE STEWART:
Next, the filled jars

are heated in this
machine, and then cooled.

It's not juice anymore.

The pectin and the
cooling work together

to make the juice thick
so it becomes jelly.

This woman sets up
the labeling machine.

The jars of jelly pass through
it and get a label added.

MR. ROGERS: It reminds
me of a merry-go-round.

MAGGIE STEWART: Yes.

Me too.

MR. ROGERS: There they go.

MAGGIE STEWART: And
that's how people

make grape jelly in a factory.

MR. ROGERS: Those are
big jars of jelly.

So interesting.

-Yes.

Indeed they are.

And I have one of those big
jars of jelly right here.

-Oh, you have it.

-I do.

And if you have the time, I'd
like to show you a little treat

that my mother used to make for
me when I was a little girl.

-Of course I have the time.

Wanna do it in the kitchen?

-Yes, I do.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

All right.

Oh, thank you so much.

Have a seat there.

And I have everything I
need right here in this bag.

I have graham crackers.

-Oh.

Graham crackers.

-And I have a little Kn*fe here.

There it is.

And if you could get
me a paper towel--

-Oh, sure.

---while I clean my hands
just a little bit before

I start working with this food.

I like to have my
hands nice and clean

when I'm working with food.

That's very important.

-You need this for your
hands or something else?

-Well, I'd like you
to put it down there

so it's a little
place mat for us.

-Oh, I see.

-All righty.

And the graham crackers.

I'll put one, two, three.

I'll put this one over
here out of the way.

MR. ROGERS: Three little
graham crackers, huh?

MAGGIE STEWART: Yes, indeed.

And I'll open the grape jelly.

There it goes.

Put a little grape
jelly right there.

There's one.

And we'll put a little
less on this one.

Two.

MR. ROGERS: And you
don't have any on there?

MAGGIE STEWART: No
grape jelly on this one.

And we'll put this
one on top like that.

And then we'll take
the two of them

and put it on top like that.

And there we have it,
a triple-decker grape

jelly graham cr*cker sandwich.

-Oh, what a good idea.

-It's a great treat.

-Could I make one?

-Yes, please.

I'll move this one out
of the way for you.

And there are some
graham crackers.

-Oh, I'd better wipe it.

-Oh, yes.

Indeed.

That's very, very important.

I'll help you with this.

-Thank you.

-There you are.

-It is important to
have your hands clean

when you work with
food, isn't it?

-Yes, it is.
I'll take it.

-Thank you.

-Mm-hmm.

-All right.

One, two, three.

MAGGIE STEWART: Oh, we
have this one broken.

I'll put it out of the way.

-OK.

Grape jelly on the first one.

Grape jelly on the second one.

And nothing on the third one.

-There you go.

-OK.

This one goes on here.

MAGGIE STEWART: That's right.

MR. ROGERS: It squishes
out to the side.

MAGGIE STEWART: That's fun.

That's the fun part.

MR. ROGERS: Triple-decker grape
jelly graham cr*cker treat.

Is that what you call it?

-Sandwich.

-Oh, sandwich.

-Treat.

It is a treat.

-Do you think you could give
that treat to the McFeelys?

-I'd be happy to.

-Oh, thank you.

-I'll put this one in here.

-What a good idea.

-I'll put the one I made
right there next to it.

-And your mom always
made those for you?

-Yes, indeed.

She's a good mom.

And we had a lot of fun
making these little treats

in the kitchen like this.

It's nice time together.

And I will do quick clean
up with our little Kn*fe.

-I'll put this on for you.

-Thank you so much.

And I will get this
out of the way.

-And to think that we
saw people making that.

-We certainly did.

-People and machines.

-We made our own little
grape jelly sandwiches too.

-Thank you for that.

-Well, I have lots of deliveries
yet to make, so I will--

-Well, I'm grateful for you.

---be on my way.

-Oh, I wanted to
show you something.

Here.

Do you remember having--

-Oh yes!

---your picture taken with this.

-Yes, indeed.

May I try it on again?

-Of course.

-Thank you.

This is a great hat.

I'm a fire person.

-There you go.

-That's a good one, huh?

-Mm-hmm.

-How about that one with
the big, big flowers on it.?

-Would you like to try that on?

-Yes.

Do you mind?

-That's the one
that Audrey used.

I like that.

-Oh, that is a grand hat.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Have you always like
getting dressed up

and playing like that?

-Yes, indeed.

I have.

-Even from the time
you were a little girl?

-Ever since I was a
very, very little girl.

I liked to dress up.

And I'm still doing it today
with my speedy delivery hat.

-Of course.

-[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.

-To you.

-Yes.

-And this is how
you say delivery.

-It's from here to here to you.

That's right.
-Can you do that?

-Just like you're
giving it to somebody.

-Delivery.

-Perfect!

-Thanks, Maggie.

-Very nice visiting
with you today.

-Good to see you.

-Thank you.

-Give the McFeelys my best.

-I will.

And our treats.

I'll see you next time.

Bye for now.

-Bye.

Don't we have special neighbors?

Mm.

We surely do.

I love our neighbors.

And I like being with
you, doing little things,

little things and big things.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

There's so much to
remember, isn't there?

About every one of our visits.

You can just sit and think about
all the things that we've done

and said.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[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, [SNAPS]

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.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Little bag.

Big bag.

I'll be back next time.

Goodbye.
