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 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?

-Hello, neighbor.

Feel like playing
peek-a-boo today.

Do you ever do that?

Just hide behind something
and then come right back out?

Here's something I
could do that with.

Fact, I could even
get under this thing.

[LAUGHING]

-It's an old towel.

Feels good.

You ever notice the
different feel of towels?

Some that are-- are worn
so well they feel so soft.

If you saw somebody
with a towel,

what would you think that
person was going to do?

Some people might
think that person

was going to take a bath.

Other people might think
that person was going

to wash a car, if it was an
old towel, or do the laundry.

Or some people might think
that person was going swimming.

Especially when they saw some
swimming trunks with the towel.

Last time I promised I'd show
you where I sometimes swim

and how I swim.

I like to keep my promises.

In fact, a long time
ago-- many years

ago-- I promised
myself that I would

try to swim a certain
length of time each day.

And I've done that almost every
day for more than 10 years.

Now, I usually swim
at an indoor pool.

MISTER ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
When I get there,

I go to the locker room.

And I open my locker
and get undressed.

I put my clothes in the locker
and my swimming suit on me.

And I take a quick shower.

And I go to the pool.

Jump in.

And then I swim,
and swim, and swim.

I swim back and
forth about 25 times.

That's a long, long swim.

Back and forth.

And back and forth.

After that, I swim just for fun.

It feels so good.

Mr. Saunders is sure people
are safe in the pool.

He's always there to help.

Then I get out and I
have a longer shower.

Then I dry my hair.

Comb it.

I even use a hairdryer in the
winter so I won't get cold.

And then I get dressed.

Then I come back to my place.

-Do you like to swim
or play in the water?

Is water sometimes scary to you?

Big waves can be scary.

But you can talk with
the people that you

love about things like that.

I like to swim.

But there are some days I just
don't feel much like doing it,

but I do it anyway.

I know it's good for
me, and I promised

myself I'd do it every day.

And as I told you, I
try to keep my promises.

That's one of my disciplines.

When I was a little
boy, my parents said,

Fred when you promise
to do something,

you must keep your promise.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

-Oh, there's somebody
knocking at the door.

CHEF BROCKETT [AT
DOOR]: Speedy delivery!

-Speedy delivery?

Somebody's saying
speedy delivery.

But it didn't sound
Mr. McFeely to me.

Did it to you?

What did you say?

CHEF BROCKETT [AT
DOOR]: Speedy delivery!

-Who do you think
that sounds like?

Chef Brockett.

It is Chef Brockett.
CHEF BROCKETT [AT DOOR]: Hey.

MISTER ROGERS: Speedy delivery.
-How you doing?

I got a delivery for ya.

Try that.

-Oh, thank you.

I thought it was Mr. McFeely
at first, but then you-- Mm!

Is that good.

Is that oatmeal raisin cookie?

-Yeah, it's a new combination.

I just added nuts
for the first time.

-So it's oatmeal
raisin nut cookie.

-Yeah.

It's a good
combination, isn't it?

-It's very good.

And you know what else
was a good combination?

-What?

-That banana and cheese
that you sent me.

-Isn't that great together?

-Uh-huh.

-You know, I-- I, I practice
to try to figure out

interesting and
new combinations.

-It takes a lot of practice
to be a good chef, doesn't it?

-Oh, it takes a lot of
practice to be a good anything.

Speaking of practice, I
do have a delivery for you

from Negri's Music Shop.

-Just what I've
been waiting for.

-Wait, there's a
music book, too.

-You know what this is?

It's a clarinet.

-Yeah, I'm helping.

Mr. McFeely is busy
with deliveries.

Now, if you'll sign here.

He asked me to get,
get your signature.

-Uh-huh.

So that he'll know
I've received it.

-Right.

OK, and I'm busy, too.

So I've gotta get
back and practice

some more at the bakery.

I'll see ya.

-Thank you, Chef Brockett.

-OK.

Buh-bye.

-Thank you for this.

My clarinet.

I'll take it right out here.

I'll eat that later.

Oh, boy.

When I was young, about
eight or 10 years old-- ooh,

this is nice.

I was trying to learn so many
things all at once-- things

like the piano, and organ,
and algebra, and cooking,

and typing, and I even started
to take clarinet lessons.

Yeah.

But I just didn't
practice the clarinet.

So I didn't learn.

I think I wanted
to learn by magic.

I think that I had the idea
that if I got the clarinet,

I would somehow
know how to play it.

It doesn't work that way.

Magic doesn't work
with learning--

not with anything
really worthwhile.

Anyway, ever since
that time, I've

had the idea that
I'd like to have

another chance to
learn the clarinet.

So now I'm going to do it.

A little bit at a
time, but do it.

[SINGING] You can make
believe it happens,

or pretend that
something's true.

You can wish or
hope or contemplate

a thing you'd like to do.

I hope I remember how
to put this together.

[SINGING] But until
you start to do it,

you will never see it through.

Cause the make-believe
pretending

just won't do it for you.

You've got to do it,
every little bit.

You've got to do it,
do it, do it, do it.

Then when you're through,
you can know who did it.

Cause you did it.

You did it.

You did it.

It's not easy to keep trying,
but it's one good way to grow.

It's not easy to keep learning,
but I know that this is so.

When you've tried
and learned, you're

bigger than you were a day ago.

It's not easy to keep learning,
but it's one way to grow.

You've got to do it,
every little bit.

You've got to do it,
do it, do it, do it.

And when you're through,
you can know who did it.

Cause you did it.

You did it.

You did it.

I remember.

Oh, that feels good
to try that again.

Well, I'll keep
working with that.

Let's have a little
make-believe.

A little food for the fish,
and then some make-believe.

Listen, fish.

Hey, trolley!

Got my clarinet, trolley.

In Make-Believe last time we
pretended that Corny was making

dolls that look
like King Friday.

And Lady Elaine
thought that there

should be dolls
that look like her.

[CLARINET]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-[LAUGHING] Thank you, Trolley.

[CLARINET]

-Well, why don't we pretend
some more about that now?

Because you know, the
Neighborhood of Make-Believe

is all pretend.

So let's pretend about what
Lady Elaine might be doing

about those dolls that
look like King Friday.

Ready for the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe?

OK, Trolley, I will try to--
to do this while you leave.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

KING FRIDAY: Greetings, Trolley!

QUEEN SARA SATURDAY:
Hello, Trolley!

Trolley is so pretty somehow.

-Yes.

Everybody I know likes Trolley.

KING FRIDAY: Uh,
Mr. Pecially is even

making little models of Trolley.

-Yes, exactly like
Trolley, but much smaller.

KING FRIDAY: Mr. Pecially
makes things that people like.

-Yes, but, uh, he
gets them mixed

up pretty much because
he's been trying

to do too many things at once.

KING FRIDAY: I know one thing
he couldn't get mixed up with.

QUEEN SARA SATURDAY:
What's that, dear?

-What's that, Uncle Friday?

-A new doll that he's making.

-Oh, what does the
doll look like?

-It looks like
your husband, dear.

-I doll that looks
like you, Friday?

-None other!

-Oh, how splendid!

I'd love to see one.

-Uh, Lady Aberlin, would you
kindly fetch a Friday doll

so that the Queen might see it?

-Of course I will, Uncle Friday.

I'd be glad to.

-See you later, dear.

-Very good, Aunt Sara.

QUEEN SARA SATURDAY: What
a lovely idea, Friday.

LADY ABERLIN: Hm.

Rocking chairs, trolleys,
Friday dolls, pretzels-- Corny!

Cornflake S. Pecially?

CORNY: Uh, yes?

Is there something the matter?

Oh, Lady Aberlin.

Uh, what can I do for you?

LADY ABERLIN: Well, I
know you're very busy,

but I'd like to have one
of those King Friday dolls

because Aunt Sara would
very much like to see one.

-Oh, well, you're
welcome to take one.

Should be in one of those
boxes labeled "Friday Dolls."

Uh, just help yourself.

-Oh, thank you very much.

-I must get back to work.

-Oh, I understand completely.

CORNY: Yes.

See ya.

-Trolleys, pretzels, rocking
chairs, Friday dolls.

Oh, I hate to bother him
again, but I-- I think I'll

just have to.

LADY ELAINE: Oh, Lady Aberlin!

Lady A!

Lady A!

LADY ABERLIN: Yes, Lady Elaine?

LADY ELAINE: Uh,
come over here, dear.

I want to show you something.

LADY ABERLIN: But I have
business here at the factory.

LADY ABERLIN: I might
be able to help you.

Just come to the Museum
and come on the double.

Hello, toots.

-Hello, Lady Elaine.

I haven't got time to chat.

I'm on a royal mission.

-Looking for a
Friday doll, are you?

LADY ABERLIN: How did you know?

-Lady E knows E-verything.

-There wasn't one
Friday doll in any

of the boxes at the factory.
LADY ELAINE: That's right.

That line of dolls
has been discontinued.

-Discontinued?

Does that mean Corny isn't
going to make them anymore?

-Correct as usual, Lady A.

-Well, that's probably just as
well because he has been trying

to make too many things at once.

But Aunt Sara did so want to
see one of the Friday dolls.

-Oh, well, then, why
don't you just, uh,

take one of these to show her?

-Lady Elaine!

LADY ELAINE: Mm-hmm?

LADY ABERLIN: This doll looks
a whole lot more like you

than it looks like Uncle Friday.

-Uh-huh, that's right.

You sure are good
at telling things.

Nobody wants to
buy a Friday doll.

But wait till they
see this kind.

Don't you just love it?

-I am not so sure.

In fact, this
looks like a crown.

Lady Elaine Fairchilde,
what have you been up to?

-Just a little mischief, dear.

-I'm sure you don't have
permission to do this.

I'm going to have
to check on this.

-Easy does it, Aberlin.

-You're the one who has
to go easy for awhile.

I'll see you later.

LADY ELAINE: Not
if I see you first.

Hm.

Well, I must make some more.

KING FRIDAY: I think you'll
find it quite a lovely doll.

QUEEN SARA SATURDAY: Does it
really look like you, dear?

KING FRIDAY: I think so.

I'll be anxious to
hear what you think.

Oh, here comes Lady Aberlin now.

Uh, Niece Aberlin, I presume?

-Correct, as usual,
Uncle Friday.

-And you have the
Friday doll, I presume?

-Well, that will be
for you to decide.

-What do you mean by this?

-Why this doll looks more like
Lady Elaine than you, Friday.

-There must be some mistake!

Where are the King dolls?

-There aren't any, Uncle Friday.

They all look like this one.

-Call Mr. Pecially at
the factory and tell him

I would like to see
him immediately.

-Uh, oh, Corny.

Uh, it's Lady Aberlin
over at the castle.

Uncle Friday would like
to see you immediately.

Oh, I know you're very
busy, but it-- Yes, yes.

But it's very important.

But Corny it's very,
very important!

-And what is so very, very
important, Lady Aberlin?

-This is.

-Why this looks
like Lady Elaine.

Where did you find it?

-Lady Elaine took all
your King Friday dolls

and made them into dolls
that look like her.

-So that's where
they've been going!

-Yes, I'm sorry to
to have to report.

KING FRIDAY: Uh,
Mr. Pecially, uh,

what do you suggest that
we do about this situation?

-Well, King Friday, I'm so
busy with so many other things,

I'd like to leave
that up to you.

-You want me to handle
the doll situation?

-If you would, please.

I'll see you all later.
LADY ABERLIN: Goodbye, Corny.

QUEEN SARA SATURDAY:
Goodbye then, Corny.

Well, Friday, uh,
what are you going

to do about this misdemeanor?

-Misdemeanor.

That's exactly what Lady
Elaine has committed.

Thank you, Queen Sara.

-What is a misdemeanor?

QUEEN SARA SATURDAY:
A bad thing, dear.

A certain naughtiness.

-Oh.

But what are you
going to do about it?

-Summon the Chief Of Discipline.

[HORNS BLOWING]

-You called, sire?

KING FRIDAY: A misdemeanor
has been committed.

What is your advice,
Chief Of Discipline?

-I recommend that
we conduct research

and apply appropriate
discipline.

KING FRIDAY: Very well.

You are in charge.

You and Lady Aberlin.

LADY ABERLIN: Oh, very
well, Uncle Friday.

CHIEF OF DISCIPLINE:
Very well, King Friday.

-Imagine making a Friday
doll look like a Fairchilde.

-Come, dear.

You and I have a meeting
of the conservation

committee in three minutes.

-Oh, uh, farewell assembled duo.

TOGETHER: Farewell,
royal couple.

-And now?

-Well, I'll explain
the whole thing to you.

Lady Elaine Fairchilde
did something

she wasn't supposed to do.

-A misdemeanor?

-Yes.

She took all the Friday
dolls and changed

their faces to look like her.

-I see!

-And we are to decide
the discipline.

-That's my specialty.

-See you tomorrow, Trolley.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-King Friday was really angry.

Lady Elaine had been naughty.

What happens when
you do something

you've been told not to do.

Do you know that mothers and
fathers tell their children not

to do some things
because they don't

want their children to get hurt?

Do you know that?

[CLARINET]

-Oh, boy, that takes a lot
of practice to do that right.

Do you sometimes get angry?

Do you ever go like that?

That's one way to blow out
some feelings, isn't it?

I have an idea.

Show you how you might make
your own pretend clarinet.

Yep.

I think I have--

Yes, you could use either
a toilet paper roll--

you know when the toilet
paper is all gone,

there's that roll inside of
it-- or a paper towel roll.

You could use
either one of those.

[CLARINET NOISES] Either one.

And you could use a
marker-- if you wanted

to-- to put little
marks on there.

You know for your-- to pretend
that those are for your finger.

[CLARINET NOISES]

You could put that
many on this one.

And play it like this.

[CLARINET NOISES] And you--
you could even sing a song

like-- [SINGING] what
do you do with the mad

that 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 do 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

and 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 and stop

when I wish-- can stop,
stop, stop any time.

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
some day a woman,

and a boy can be some day a man.

That's right.

If you were born a girl baby,
you'll grow up to be a woman.

If you were born a boy baby,
you're growing up to be a man.

You know, when mothers and
daddies love their children,

they try to help them know
what to do and what not to do.

Very important.

It's very important.

I'll take my clarinet
with me so I can practice,

and my cookie, and my book.

I'll need to read that
book about the clarinet.

Fish don't need towels or
swimming suits, do they?

That's fun to think about.

In fact, you could even make
up a pretend story about a fish

who wore a swimming
suit and used a towel.

All underwater.

There's lots that's fun to
think about in the world.

I'm glad you're in
the world with me.

[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.

-I'll be back next time.

Bye.
