[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.

Mr. McFeely came
over here last night

and asked if he could
do something fun for me.

A kind of secret, he said.

I said, sure.

And now today he
told me what it was.

He has made a treasure
hunt for us in this place.

And the first clue-- he gave me
this just a little while ago.

This is the first clue
to the treasure hunt.

And this says, "somewhere
between picture and picture."

That's where we
find the next clue.

so do you suppose it's
somewhere in here?

These are two pictures.

I don't think so.

I think it's somewhere
else in this room.

Now here's a
picture of trolleys.

But I don't see anything
in between there.

Where would you think, somewhere
between picture and picture?

Picture Picture maybe.

Oh, here!

Look at that.

"Be a sandman in the daytime."

Look at the back of it.

That's sandpaper.

Mr. McFeely, clever, clever.

Well, what would that mean?
"Be a sandman in the daytime."

Maybe the sandbox.

Maybe the next clue's
in the sandbox.

Let's look for it.

Treasure hunt.

He knows I like my sandbox.

And here's the box
I used last time.

What's this?

That must be the clue.

Doesn't say anything
on it, though.

I'll pull this and see if--

VOICE: Fish have to eat.

-Fish have to eat.

What would that mean?

Oh.

Maybe my fish inside.

Let's go see.

Fish have to eat.

Fish have to eat.

I guess that means I
should feed the fish.

Here you are.

I don't see any clue there.

Oh, look here.

Look here.

"Where Where do you
usually keep your milk?"

Mr. McFeely has
clues everywhere.

Where do we usually
keep the milk?

The refrigerator.

Do you see anything
here in the refrigerator

look like a clue to you?

Well, look at that.

It looks like a swing.

Oh, there's something
written on the bottom of it.

"Swing low 'sweet yellow.'"
"Swing low 'sweet yellow.'"

Well, the only swing
I know is the one

that's out on the porch.

Shall we go look there?

This is fun.

Out on the porch
and see if there's

something there at the swing.

Swing.

Swing low, sweet low.

Better look low.

Oh, look.

What does this say?

"Your treasure's in
your sweater pocket."

Not in that one.

Nothing in that one.

Let's just go inside and see.

Might be in a different sweater.

This is about the same color.

A balloon.

"Your treasure's in
your sweater pocket."

It's a balloon.

I'm gonna try to blow that up.

After all that, I can't
even make the treasure work.

Do you ever get angry?

Ever feel mad?

Well, what do you do about it?

[PHONE RINGING]

Oh, there's the phone.

Hello.

Mr. McFeely.

Yeah.

But I can't blow it up.

Both pockets?

No.

Can you hold on?

Just a minute.

He said to look in both pockets.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh.

It's a picture.

It's a picture of
someone with balloons.

Balloon artist?

Any minute?

That's the treasure?

I see.

Well, thank you, Mr. McFeely.

Is this his name
here on the back?

Bruce Franco?

Well, we'll be waiting for him.

Oh, we will.

And thanks again for the
hunt and the treasure.

Bye bye.

This is the person who
makes things with balloons.

So let's just go out
and wait for him.

I imagine Bruce Franco will
be able to use this balloon.

Come along.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Try this once more.

Still can't do it.

Oh.

So you're our treasure.

-Hi, Fred.

-I'm so glad to see you.

-Mr. McFeely said
he was going to give

you a treasure hunt today.

-Well, that's true.

And I'd like you to meet
my television neighbor.

This is Bruce Franco.

-Hello.

-I found this balloon at the
end of the treasure hunt,

as well as your picture.

And I can't blow it up.

-Oh, here let me set
my bag down here.

-Is this one you could blow up?

-Yeah.

These are special balloons.

And they take lots of practice.

-Oh, you stretch it.

-You stretch it first.

Then you take a deep breath.

MR. ROGERS: You must know
a lot about balloons.

-Well, I've been playing with
balloons for a long time.

And I've always loved balloons.

-Even from the time
you were a little boy?

-Ever since I was a little
boy I started with balloons.

And of course, you have to
start with the easy ones

to blow up at first.

MR. ROGERS: I guess so.

-I'd like to make something
out of this for you, if I may.

MR. ROGERS: Would you?

Please.

-This is something that
my son Timmy enjoys a lot.

He's three years old.

It's a simple balloon.

But yet, it's something
that he could play with.

It's a circle.

-Hey.

May I have it?

-You sure can.

-Oh, thank you very much.

-Since this was a
treasure hunt, I

would like to make a few
treasures for you, if I may.

-Please.

-OK.

Let me go down in my bag here.

You maybe could give me a hand.

-Glad to.

-First of all, we
need our balloons.

-Wow.

A lot of balloons.

-Oh, yeah.

I blow up quite a few each day
at parties and schools and all.

You'll notice there's
a lot of colors.

-Uh-huh.

-And plus, something that
you may not think I need.

Gloves.

-Why do you wear gloves, Bruce?

-When I made that
circle, you may

have noticed that it
did some squeaking.

And just rub your fingers.

[SQUEAKING]

And sometimes that's a
little scary, even for me.

And with the gloves, it
makes it a lot quieter.

-Uh-huh.

-Let me stick the other one on.

And we'll make a
special balloon.

-Look at all these colors.

-Well, let's start off
with a yellow balloon.

-All right.

-Right there.

We're just going to blow this
up a little bit, like so.

And give it a little twist.

And now I'm going to stick
my finger down into it

and pull it out.

Give it a twist.

And we have a flower.

There we are.

Now let's find a pink one.

Of the many boys and
girls I make balloons for,

this is actually the most
popular balloon that I make.

-Aren't you afraid
that's gonna break?

-Sometimes they do.

MR. ROGERS: What do you do
with them when they do break?

-I save them.

To me, all the
balloons are special.

And even the broken
ones, I save them.

You could make things.

You may not be able
to make an animal.

But you can make-- sometimes I
take the pieces of the balloon

and I put it over a can or
a jar, make a little drum.

Other times I take
the pieces and make

a collage or a picture
with the balloons.

And no balloons are wasted.

All of them are fun.

And as I was talking there,
I made a little head.

It's gonna be a teddy bear.

MR. ROGERS: A teddy bear.

-And let's see.

We need this flower right
here, because this teddy bear's

gonna be holding a flower.

Right over like this.

Yeah.

Like I mentioned
earlier, the teddy bear

is the most popular balloon.

And just with a few more twists,
we have the whole teddy bear.

MR. ROGERS: Look at that
lovely balloon sculpture.

-Now here's a broken
one right over here.

And I'm going to put
this in my pocket.

And I'll save it for later.

-Uh-huh.

-Let's take a red one.

And we stretch it first.

And make a little
twist like this.

-Gonna make another circle?

-Uh-huh.

One more circle.

But we're going to do
something with this circle.

I started making balloons
when I was quite young.

My mom saw a gentleman make
a poodle for her one time.

And she asked me if I
could learn how to do that.

And I did.

And ever since then, I've been
making more and more different

balloons.

And we have a heart.

-A heart.

-Now if we take this teddy
bear with the flower and just--

MR. ROGERS: And giving a
lot of people pleasure.

-It does, Fred.

It really does.

We have a teddy bear with
a flower and a heart.

Now the most important thing.

MR. ROGERS: What are
you gonna give him now?

-A smile.

MR. ROGERS: A smile?

-A smile.

You always give
people happy balloons.

MR. ROGERS: What a
treasure that is.

BRUCE FRANCO: Well,
I would like to give

you this treasure, Fred.

-Oh, thank you very much, Bruce.

I'm very pleased to have been
able to see you work this.

-Oh, it's my pleasure, Fred.

And I notice at my watch here,
it's gettin' rather late.

And I have to go to a school and
show some more boys and girls

some of my balloon art,
so I better be going.

MR. ROGERS: I hope
you'll come back.

And I thank you--

-I would love to.

---for showing us
your fine work.

-Thank you, Fred.

Bye bye.

-What a talented man.

Let's go inside.

He's practiced for years
to make things like this.

What an artist he is.

Let's have some make-believe.

Get the trolley.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

Trolley.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

Let's make-believe
something about balloons.

And let's also pretend that
Lady Elaine will eventually

tell Mr. Aber what
her secret has been.

Are you ready for
some make-believe?

What about you, Trolley?

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

All right.

To the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

KING FRIDAY: Yes, Trolley.

You know, your Aunt
Sara is interested

in artificial flowers.

-Yes.

That's why I got this
balloon flower for her.

KING FRIDAY: It's
very cleverly done.

-I think so too.

KING FRIDAY: Uh, but what if
all the air would go out of it?

-It would be an airless flower.

KING FRIDAY: I see
no use in that.

-But you like it the way
it is now, don't you?

KING FRIDAY: I do.

Yes.

-Well, then why
don't you just enjoy

looking at the way it is now,
without worrying about the way

it will look when
the air is out of it?

KING FRIDAY: There is some merit
to your unconventional ways,

Niece Aberlin.

LADY ABERLIN: Why,
thank you, sire.

KING FRIDAY: Oh.

Here comes another balloon
person, rather a balloon dog,

I presume.

-Correct as usual, King Friday.

LADY ABERLIN: Do you like
balloons too, Bob Dog?

-Oh, yeah.

I love balloons.

You know what else I like
to do with a balloon?

I like to-- oh-- burst 'em.

KING FRIDAY: How, how wasteful.

-Well,I don't do it
very often, King Friday.

And I just like to
do it sometimes.

And I only do it to my own.

I never burst anyone
else's balloon.

KING FRIDAY: I see.

-It makes me jump when
I hear a balloon pop.

-Yeah.

It's surprising, isn't it?

-I'll say.

KING FRIDAY: I have
some matters of state

to which I must attend.

You may be excused.

Farewell.

-Wait, King Friday.

KING FRIDAY: Yes?

-Would you like a crown?

KING FRIDAY: A crown?

Oh, my official one
suffices, thank you.

-Oh, this one's real light.

KING FRIDAY: Yes.

I leave you both to
your air-filled play.

-Farewell, Uncle Friday.

-Farewell, King Friday.

You know, Lady Aberlin, I'd like
to take one of these balloons

down to Daniel's clock.

-Oh.

Want some company?

-Sure.

-I love to visit Daniel.

-Oh, so do I. Wanna dance over?

-A balloon dance.

-Yeah.

Here we go.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[KNOCKING]

DANIEL TIGER: Hello?

Oh, hi!

-Hi, Daniel.

DANIEL TIGER: Lady Aberlin.

Bob Dog.

-I have a surprise
for you, Daniel.

DANIEL TIGER: What?

What is it?

-Well, close your eyes.

And I'll tell you
when you to look, OK?

DANIEL TIGER: All right.

-OK.

DANIEL TIGER: Oh boy.

[SQUEAK]

Oh, it's making a noise.

[BLOWING]

Ooh, it sounds like the wind.

Ooh.

Oh, it's close by.

-OK.

You can look now, Daniel.

DANIEL TIGER: All right.

Oh!

A big balloon!

LADY ABERLIN: Daniel,
why are you going inside?

DANIEL TIGER: The
balloon might pop.

-He wouldn't like that.

-Well, what if it does?

DANIEL TIGER: It might scare me.

-Oh, it's all right
if it scares you.

DANIEL TIGER: But
I want to be brave.

-Well, Daniel,
maybe you are brave.

DANIEL TIGER: How can I be
brave if I get scared sometimes?

-Well, maybe you're brave and
you don't know you're brave.

What do you think, Lady Aberlin?

-I think I'm very proud
of you too brave friends.

DANIEL TIGER: We're brave?

-Of course.

DANIEL TIGER: I'm brave?

-Well, sure you are, Daniel.

-I know you are.

DANIEL TIGER: Oh,
you two certainly

know how to make a
cowardly tiger feel good.

Want to come inside
my clock for a visit?

-Oh, I have to go
to Westwood myself.

But I'll come visit
again, though, Daniel.

-I'd like to come
inside, Daniel.

DANIEL TIGER: Oh, good.

And we can play.

-Yes.

We can, we can play about scared
and brave or anything else

you want to play about.

DANIEL TIGER: OK.

Come on.

-We'll see you later, Bob Dog.

-Yes.

As soon as I see
you, you'll see me.

LADY ABERLIN: It's a deal.

Bye.

BOB DOG: Bye.
LADY ABERLIN: Oh, Daniel.

Here's one that's
just your size.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Oh.

-Oh, hi, Bob Dog.

-Hey, Neighbor Aber.

-Are you ballooning it today?

-Oh, yes.

I like balloons.

In fact, you can have this
little O for your own self.

-Oh, well, thank you.

I'm on my way to
visit Lady Elaine.

-Oh?

What's happening with her today?

-You can be sure it's something.

She wouldn't tell me yesterday.

But she called and said she'd be
waiting for me for sure today.

-Yeah.

Well, good luck.

-Thanks.

-Oh.

I'm going to give this
one to Mayor Maggie.

What do you think?

-I think she'll
love it, especially

coming from one of
her favorite dogs.

-Oh.

Well, thanks.

Happy days.

-Oh, thank you, Bob Dog.

-So long, Neighbor Aber.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[BELL RINGS]

LADY ELAINE: Hello.

-Hi, Lady Elaine.

LADY ELAINE: Sorry
about last time.

-Maybe we can make
up for it today.

LADY ELAINE: I'm in need of
a song, right off the bat.

-You want me to sing a song?

LADY ELAINE: You
know how, don't you?

-Yes.

But it really--

LADY ELAINE: Well,
there's nothing

wrong with needing
a song, is there?

-Well, I, I guess not.

What kind of song
would you like?

LADY ELAINE: That one
about butterflies.

-Butterflies.

LADY ELAINE: Butterflies
in your heart.

-Oh!

When Your Heart Has
butterflies Inside It?

LADY ELAINE: That's it.

I'm listening.

-[SINGING] When your heart
has butterflies inside it,

then your heart is full of love.

When your heart feels
just like overflowing,

then your heart is full of love.

Love is fragile as your tears.

Love is stronger
than your fears.

When your heart beats
for a special someone,

then your heart is full of love.

When your heart has
room for everybody,

then your heart is full of love.

LADY ELAINE: Oh.

You can sure do it to it.

-Oh, thanks, I think.

LADY ELAINE: Love in your heart.

That's a kind of
secret, isn't it?

-Mm-hmm.

A good one to tell.

LADY ELAINE: I'll say.

-Why, did you ever
think of starting

a secret museum, Lady Elaine?

LADY ELAINE: How do you mean?

-A museum full of secrets.

You seem to be very
interested in secrets.

LADY ELAINE: Oh sure.

I love secrets.

Did you ever think
about getting married?

-Oh, once or twice, I guess.

Did you?

LADY ELAINE: Of course.

I thought I was engaged
to Corney one time.

-Really?

What happened?

LADY ELAINE: Turned
out to be a mistake.

-Ah.

Well, you'd certainly make an
interesting bride, my friend.

LADY ELAINE: You think?

-Oh, I know.

LADY ELAINE: Well, when?

-Oh, whenever you
have your wedding.

LADY ELAINE: How about
the next full moon?

-I'd like to be there.

LADY ELAINE: Of course
you'll be there.

-Are you keeping it a secret?

LADY ELAINE: For a little while.

I'm so excited I could fly.

-Better leave all
this neighborhood

flying to X the Owl.

Well, I'll see you
later, Lady Elaine.

LADY ELAINE: Oh.

-Oh.

Oh!

Incidentally, here.

This is for you.

LADY ELAINE: Oh.

Thanks, Toots.

Maybe I should call you Charles.

-Oh, you're very welcome.

Bye bye.

LADY ELAINE: Bye bye for now.

Ooh.

The first balloon
ring in history.

Boy, do I have a lot to do
before the next full moon.

[SINGING] When your heart is--

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

-Oh.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

You think so, Trolley?

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

Well, you're a very
perceptive machine.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

-What do you think Lady
Elaine might be planning?

She seemed so excited.

You know, Bruce Franco said
that there were some balloons

that were easier
to use than these.

I think I have some
in the kitchen.

Just gonna take a look.

Here's one.

Just gonna try this.

Hmm.

That makes me feel better.

Still keep thinking
about Mr. Aber singing.

[SINGING] When your heart
beats for a special someone,

then your heart is full of love.

When your heart has
room for everybody,

then your heart is full of love.

Do you ever feel
all full of love?

Feel really good about
yourself and able to feel good

about everybody you meet?

That's a wonderful feeling.

I'll be back next time, fish.

Then your heart is full of bear.

Mr. Aber says that the love
that's inside your heart

is a good secret to tell.

It can give you a very
good feeling when you're

able to tell somebody you love
them, a very 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, [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.

You always make each
day a special day.

You know how.

By just your being yourself.

There's only one person in
the whole world like you.

That's you yourself.

And people can like
you exactly as you are.

I have lots of things
to take with me.

I'll be back next time.
