THEME SONG: 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?

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.

Do you change your
shoes when you

come in from playing or working?

Change into comfortable clothes?

Inside clothes?

I want you to see something.

This is an old homemade
toy that a neighbor of mine

loaned to me.

It's been in the Paulson
family for many, many years.

I'll just show you how it works.

I think maybe I'll
take it over here.

Put it on this.

You see it OK now?

It has some marbles.

And you put the marble in
there and watch the marble.

see it go?

Here's another one.

It comes right out here.

Now you can put a
whole lot together.

Isn't that fun?

Now I want to show
you something else.

Here.

Here's a big ball.

How far do you
think that will go?

Just that far.

Because it's bigger
than a marble.

And the marble-- it's
made for marbles.

Now look at this.

This is a square marble.

Let's see if that goes.

Another square marble.

See?

They don't roll
because they're square.

But the round ones
roll, don't they?

I thought you might enjoy that.

Now I have another friend who
makes very fancy machines.

They remind me a
little of this one.

He calls them ball machines.

I'm going to show you a
video of one of his machines.

We'll just look at it
together on Picture Picture.

See the ball machine.

Isn't it wonderful?

Now my friend's name
is George Rhoads.

And he creates ball
machines of all sizes.

But this is one of his biggest.

Isn't that fun to watch?

Now I thought you might like
to see some other ones that Mr.

Rhoads is working on
and to meet him as well.

He has such great ideas.

But let's just go right
away and visit the place

where George Rhoads
manufactures his ball machines.

I'll return this tape to him.

Come along.

Here we are.

Let's go inside.

Hello, George.

-Hello, Fred.

-I'd like you to
know my television

neighbor, Mr. George Rhoads.

-Hi, neighbor.

-Thank you very much
for loaning me this.

That's really fun to see
what you've created there.

-Oh, you're welcome.

-Now, this is the gentleman
who created all those things

that we just saw on the tape.

But now, you're working on this?

-Yes.

This is a-- this is
the newest piece.

Would you like to see it go?

-Oh, yes.

-Just plug that blank
plug-in in the yellow socket.

-Like this?

-Mhm.

-I see those balls moving up.

-They move up, yeah.

[BELLS AND CHIMES]

-These sound so much like music.

-Yes, I try to make
them like music.

-Oh, it's beautiful.

Now kind of quiet.

-Yeah.

-Bum bum.

[BELLS AND CHIMES]

This seems to be the beginning
of the ball's travel there.

-And this is the end.

And it comes--

-And it comes right back here.

-Yeah.

-What does it sound like?

I mean, it's so
musical, all of this.

But what does it sound
like when you turn it off?

-Well, let's find out.

-OK.

-Go ahead and unplug it.

-Because the balls have to go on
their way after it's unplugged.

-Yes.

They have to finish
their business.

Yeah.

-And that's the last one.

-The last one.

-Wonderful, George.

Oh, look who's here.

-Oh, hi, Bob.

-Hi, guys.

-Hi, Bob.

-Fred, nice to see you.

-Glad to see you.

-Hi.

-I'd like you to
know my television

neighbor, Mr. Bob McGuire.

-Hi there.

-This is the man that
builds all these machines.

-And you think them up?

-I think them up, yeah.

-Do you just tell Bob,
now, I'd like something

to go like this and something
to go around like that.

-I have to-- I
have to plan ahead.

I have to think it up first.

And then draw some pictures.

Then we converse a little.

Then I draw some more pictures.

Would you like to
see what I draw?

MR. ROGERS: I surely would.

-All right.

I'll go find it.

MR. ROGERS: Well,
thanks, George.

-Be right back.

-Meanwhile, let me take you and
show you what we're working on.

-All right.

-Over here, d*ck
has just finished

putting in the xylophone
and is adjusting it.

See?

It hits the bar.

And the whole idea is that
a ball comes in, activates

the xylophone, and
then rolls out.

And what d*ck has to do next
is build a piece of track

that will carry the ball
from the xylophone hammer

around a couple of curves, and
back down to the home track

where it goes all the way
back to the beginning.

It starts over again.

-That fun for you, d*ck?

-This is great fun.

-Yeah, and great work.

Thank you for showing us that.

What's this here?

-Ah, these are the augers.

An auger's like a drill bit.

And d*ck, would you turn
these on for us, please?

-Sure.

-Wait 'til you see
what happens here.

-Wow.

Looks like it's
going up to the sky.

-It looks like it.

But it's not really
going anywhere.

-It's not?

-All they're doing is
turning around and around.

It's an illusion.

-Isn't that fun?

Boy, I could watch
that for hours.

-And when we're all
done, these will

be painted different
colors, and it

will be even more
bright and cheery.

-Do you-- do you do
the painting here?

-Yes, we do.

It's out in the back room.

And I'd like to go and show
you that if you'd like.

-Oh, sure.

-Fine.

Let's go take a look.

-See you later, d*ck.

-Thank you.

-Bye bye.

-Hi, there.

-Hi.

Fred, I'd like you
to meet Spider.

-Spider, I'm glad to meet you.

-How do you do, Fred?

It's nice to meet you.

-What a pleasure to see
you spray painting here.

-Oh, this is a lot of fun.

I enjoy it.

-What are you making?

Is that red you put on?

-Right.

I'm putting red on
the loop de loop.

-Now, is that something that
you would have decided to do?

-Oh, no.

George chooses the colors.

That's all part of his design.

-I see.

And why is that part
over there covered

with-- it looks like paper.

-This part is covered up because
it's already painted yellow

and we don't want any of the
red paint or other colors

to get on the yellow.

-Oh, I see.

Wow.

Hi, George.

-Hi, Fred.

-Just watching Spider
doing for painting here.

-Yeah.

-You found the design?

-Yeah, I found the drawing.

And it's of a piece
we've completed.

-You mean there's
a chicken in it?

-Yes, there's a chicken.

-And a cat.

-We'll go see that if you want.

-Oh, I'd like to see it.

-All right.

Come this way.
-Thanks, Spider.

-Nice to meet you.
-Good to meet you.

Oh, this is a fully
painted piece, isn't it?

Wow.

There's the face of the cat.

-There's the chicken.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-What does the chicken do?

-Well, the chicken
swallows the ball.

Do you want to see that?

-Sure.

-OK.

Turn the blue knob.

-This one?

-Yeah.

-Just turn it like that?

-Yeah.

[LAUGHTER]

GEORGE: There we go.

-Oh, that is so playful.

Have you always been
interested in things like this?

I mean, even when you
were a little boy?

-Yes, I've always
thought up things.

I couldn't always
bring them to reality,

but a few things, I did.

Like the Ferris wheel I built.

-You built a Ferris wheel?

-Yeah, a two-seater,
people at either end.

-You mean, one
here and one here?

-Yeah.

-How old were you
when you did that?

-I was about 12.

-12?

-Mhm.

Of course, now, I can bring
all my thoughts into reality

because I have this
whole family of workers.

We're one big happy
family having fun.

-And making fun for
lots of other people.

Thank you, George.
-That's right.

-Great to be with you.

-Thank you, Fred.

-Thank you, Bob.

-Thanks for coming by.

-You bet.

See you soon.

-Bye bye.

-Goodbye.

-George, come here.

I want to show you something.

-OK.

-Isn't that fine?

Let's go back to my place.

You see, Mr. Rhoads
was a child once too.

And now you've seen and heard
some of the wonderful things

he has made with
his imagination.

Let's get the Trolley
and use our imagination

for some make-believe.

Come on, Trolley.

[BELL]

We've been pretending that the
Royal Hula Mouse, HM, has been

planning a surprise with
Lady Elaine Fairchilde.

But since King Friday
doesn't know where HM is,

he has decided to fly
all over the world

in his purple jet
looking for that mouse.

Well, let's just pretend more
about that now as the Trolley

goes into the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe.

[BELL]

-Hi, Trolley.

-Hey, Trolley.

-Where did you get this?

-A friend of mine
made it for me.

-It looks like there's a
round rainbow at the top.

There's red, green,
blue, yellow.

What do you do with it?

-Oh, well, you watch it
and like it, if you chose.

-It is fun to watch.

-And when it's
night time, you can

turn on the little flashlight.

-Wow, that's fancy.

-Do you think your daddy
would like to see it?

-Oh, I think he would.

But he's flying around
the world looking for HM.

-The Hula Mouse?

-Yes.

-But aren't he and
Lady Elaine working

on some sort of
surprise or something?

-Yes, but Daddy
doesn't know that.

I sure hope he'll
come back soon.

[AIRPLANE OVERHEAD]

-Well, that sounds very
much like the purple jet.

[TRUMPETS]

-Oh, Daddy must be back.

-Wow.

-That's my Daddy.

-Yes, perfectly beautiful.

Yes.

Lady Aberlin and Prince
Tuesday, I presume.

Correct as usual, Daddy.

-Correct as usual, Uncle Friday.

-From my airplane, I
could see our mouse.

-At the Museum-Go-Round?

-Exactly.

So I came by
immediate parachute.

-I don't remember
ever seeing you

parachute before, Uncle Friday.

-Only on rare occasions.

Now, you may bring
the Royal Mouse to me.

-Oh, but Uncle Friday--

-No but's about it, Niece.

I shall store my
gear and count to 11.

-I'll try.

See you, Tuesday.

-Bye, Cousin.

-Look at it.

Isn't that beautiful?

Wow.

Oh, you're-- [LAUGHTER] OK,
now you blow on it, Hula Mouse.

-Uno.

-Whee.

Wow.

-Dos.

-It just goes all over
the place, doesn't it?

-Si.

Tres.

-Oh, bendicion, Hula Mouse.

Hey, Lady Elaine.

-Hola, Lady Aberlin.

-Lady-- Lady Aberlin, hi.

-Oh, how does that
beautiful ball

just float in the air like that?

-Es una sorpresa.

-Yes, surprise.

We're got lots of surprises.

You want to try it?

I mean, just go--

-Oh, yes.

- --like that.

-Yeah.

Nice.

-Es maravilloso.

-Lindo.

-What's that thing
you've got there?

-Oh, it works like this.

It just goes round and round.

-That is perfect.

-Lindo.

Los lo puede prestar?

-Well, first, I
have to borrow you.

-Me?

Por que?

-Because King Friday wants
to see you in the Castle

right away.

-Now what?

-Well, I just have
a hunch that Uncle

Friday doesn't like surprises.

-Unless he thinks
them up himself.

Well, I'll go over there too.

As soon as I put
the ball inside,

I'll meet you two at the Castle.

-The King said he'd count to 11.

-Oh, 11.

OK then.
See you, toots.

-OK then.

Bye now.

-9.





-Here we are, Uncle Friday.

-Hola, su majestad.

-Royal HM, I presume.

-Correcto como
siempre, Rey Viernes.

-I have looked all over
the world for you, Mouse.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Enough.

Basta.

The Royal Hula Mouse
lives in this Castle.

-What's going on here?

-Fairchilde, you're forever
interfering in my business.

-And what is your
business, toots?

-The Castle is my business.

-This is a great mouse here.

-You can say that again.

-And he lives with us.

-Well, we know that.

Listen to the surprise.

-HM lives here.

-Oh, Uncle Friday, we're
not talking about his living

anywhere else.

-What does this contraption
have to do with it?

-Oh, I just thought
you might enjoy it.

-Oh, balderdash!

My rules are my rules.

-Hi, everybody.

-Hi, Tuesday.

-Looks like it fell.

-Your dad got mad
and threw it down.

-Why?

What happened?

-Temo que todo fue culpa mea.

-It's not your fault.

And we're going to go
on with the surprise.

-It might help if
you tell us what

the surprise is, Lady Elaine.

-Well, I'm not telling Friday.

-It seems to me
that we're all going

to have to have a talk if
things are to get better.

-I'll help you try
to fix that, Cousin.

It's scary when
people break things.

Very scary.

-That's for sure.

-I'm out of here.

There's work to do.

[BELL]

-Espero yo tambien.

-King Friday was really
angry, wasn't he?

Can be so scary when
grown ups get angry.

What do you think will happen?

Well, you can make
up your own story

about it or about anything else.

Did you ever know any
big people who got angry?

Did you ever get angry yourself?

When I do, I often
think this song.

[SINGING] What do
you do with the

made that you feel when you
feel so mad you could bite?

When the whole wide world seems
oh so wrong and nothing you do

seems very right.

What d you do?

Do you punch a bag?

Do you pound some
clay or some dough?

Do you round up friends
for a game of tag?

Or see how fast you go?

It's great to be
able to stop when

you've planned a
thing that's wrong.

And be able to do
something else instead.

And think this song.

I can stop when I want to.

Can stop when I wish.

Can stop, stop, stop anytime.

And what a good feeling
to feel like this

and know that the
feeling is really mine.

Know that there's something
deep inside that helps us

become what we can.

For a girl can be,
someday, a woman.

And a boy can be,
someday, a man.

Right now, who do you
suppose needs some food?

They're in the kitchen
and they live in water.

The fish.

There you are, fish.

Do you suppose fish
ever get angry?

Or sad?

Or very, very happy?

There are so many things to
wonder about, aren't there?

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Hm, I wonder who's at the door.

It's Mr. McFeely
with a helmet on.

Welcome.

-I'm wearing my helmet because
I have my bicycle today.

-Oh, good.

-Do you have a moment?

-Oh, I like your
tric-- your tricycle.

-Well, I'd like to show
you this catch game.

-Oh, you have a game?

-Yeah.

You hold that.

And I have this one.

And just press that.

That's how you operate it.

Now you see, I'll
press this one and--

MR. ROGERS: Oh.

-It sh**t up.

There you go.

Want to try catching it?

-Sure.

-There you go.

-Do I do it?

-Yep.

There you go.

One more.

-All right.

-Speedy Delivery.

-You're good at
that, Mr. McFeely.

-Let's just try two.

You take that one and
see if we can do it.

We might be able to do this.

-The same time, you mean?

-Yeah, one, two, three.

Speedy Delivery.

We did it.

-Wow.

-Well, I just thought you'd
like to see the catch game.

-You have the best
deliveries, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, I'm on my
way to the school,

so I'll say Speedy
Delivery to you.

-We'll watch you as you
go off on your tricycle.

-Already.

I'll see you around
the neighborhood.

Bye bye.

Speedy Delivery.

-Oh, Mr. McFeely.

What a joy to live near him.

There's so many
people in the world.

Sometimes, they're happy.

Sometimes, they're sad.

Sometimes, they're angry--
we know about that.

Sometimes, they're busy.

Sometimes, they're funny.

Sometimes, they're tired.

But you know what?

Way down, deep inside,
every one of us

wants to know that
we're a lovable person.

We've just got
that inside of us.

And when we can know it for
sure, it's such a good feeling.

[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.

I'll be back next time.

Bye.
