MR. ROGERS [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
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 have always wanted to live
in the 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.

Welcome to this neighborhood.

Look what I found as I
was coming to be with you.

It was right on my porch.

A clipboard with a note
that says, "Read this note."

And an arrow points down, but
I don't see any note here.

I have a feeling it was
written with invisible ink,

and you know how
we decipher that.

With something like this.

Let's just see what
that note says.

Do you see any of those
letters coming in?

It says, "I have a
speedy delivery for you.

I'll be there soon.

Mr. McFeely."

I wonder what that
speedy delivery would be?

"I'll be there soon."

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

That may be Mr. McFeely now.

Let s see.

It is.

-Speedy delivery.

-Mr. McFeely, I really
liked that note you left.

It was clever.

-I thought you'd enjoy
that secret note.

-Are you going away?

-Oh no.

You said you wanted to show
how people make suitcases.

-Oh yes, but I
thought we could do

that with a film or a
videotape from the library.

-Kindly open the suitcase.

-How do you do that?

-Open those up.

There you go.

And inside you'll find
probably displayed--

-What is it?

-A videotape

[LAUGHING]

How people make
suitcases, is that clever.

Well, would you like
to watch it with me?

-I wish I could, but
all of a sudden this

has turned into a busy day.

Now inside the videotape box
you'll find some instructions,

and it tells you all about
how people make suitcases.

-All right, fine.

-And I bet you'll
be singing a song

and you'll be feeding
the fish and maybe

having some make-believe, right?

-Oh yes, I always have
plenty to do right here.

-So you'll have a busy day, too.

-I will.
You wanna take the suitcase?

-Oh no, I'll stop
back for the suitcase

and I'll stop back
for the videotape.

-All right, fine.

Thank you, Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy delivery.

-Speedy delivery.

-Oh, I have a speedy
delivery song.

I have time for that today.

-Oh, good.

-Join in, alrighty?

-All right.

-Just like this.
[SINGING] That's

what you'll get,
that's what you'll get,

the speedy, speedy delivery.

A speedy, speedy,
speedy, speedy delivery.

Bye-bye!

-You're going to make
some more, aren't you?

-That's right.

Good day to you!
-Thanks, Mr. McFeely.

-You're welcome.

-[SINGING] That's what you'll
get, that's what you'll get.

Well let's just look at
how people make suitcases.

That should be fun to see.

Then I'll read this as
we watch it together.

How people make suitcases.

[VIDEO PLAYBACK]

It says that they make suitcases
from large sheets of plastic.

When they make blue suitcases,
they start with blue plastic.

They use very large machines
that will shape the plastic.

Up it goes.

And around it goes.

It says that the
plastic must be heated

until it is very, very soft.

Look how it sags down.

Then the plastic is taken to
a mold and pressed inside.

This gives it its shape.

There it goes.

Together they make two tops
and two bottoms of a suitcase.

Oh I see.

Two bottoms and two
tops on one mold.

Then they separate them and
trim off the left-over plastic.

The tops and bottoms
are inspected

to be sure they are
made just right.

Then they use a machine to
smooth the edges before they

send these pieces to
the assembly department.

The assembly department is where
all the pieces of the suitcases

are put together.

The metal strip protects
the edge of the suitcase.

This man surely works quickly
and carefully, doesn't he?

When it's time to put the
handle and other metal

parts on the suitcase,
they use screws

to fasten these parts together.

Look at that fancy
screwdriver she's using.

She really knows her work.

Let's see what happens next.

It says hinges hold
suitcases together

and a machine helps
to attach the hinges

to the two large
parts of the suitcase.

When they work on the
inside of the suitcase,

they spray on special glue, then
press on pieces of soft cloth.

This cloth protects your clothes
and helps keep them clean.

That's a long strip
of cloth there.

And around it goes.

It looks like this
person is gluing, too.

Look how fast she works.

I wonder if that piece
is--yes, it's for the inside.

It says they put on long strips
of rubber around the outside

to protect the suitcase
from scratches.

Isn't that fun to see how
they do that just right?

It looks like these suitcases
are almost finished.

It says all suitcases
are inspected by people

who know just how
they should look.

Even little pockets
are added in case

you want to put a comb or
brush or shoes or socks inside.

Once the workers add a
final polish, a final look,

a final cleaning, the
suitcase is finished

and ready to go to the store
where people can buy it.

Isn't that interesting
how people make suitcases.

I'll just put this back in here.

What a thoughtful thing.

Mr. McFeely brought
this very same kind

of suitcase that
was on the film.

I'll just put that back in
there for when he comes for it.

He is such a help
to so many people,

and his speedy delivery
service is one way

he has of showing people
that he loves them.

There are many
ways of doing that.

I guess you know that.

Want to sing with me?

[SINGING] There are many
ways to say I love you.

There are many ways to
say I care about you.

Many ways, many ways, many
ways to say I love you.

There's the delivery
way to say I love you.

There's the delivery
of something someone

really wants to have.

The delivery way, the delivery
way, the delivery way to say I

love you.

Cleaning up a room
can say I love you.

Hanging up a coat before
you're asked to do it.

Drawing special pictures for
the holidays, and making plays.

You'll find many ways
to say I love you,

you'll find many ways to
understand what love is.

Many ways, many ways, many
ways to say I love you.

You will find many ways,
more and more as you grow.

One way I have of saying I love
you is making television visits

for you, trying to think
of things you might

like to see and
hear and talk about.

And part of what we
try to do each time

is have some make believe.

Make up a story in the
Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

Let's just do that now.

Trolley.

[TROLLEY WHISTLES AND CLANGS]

We've been thinking
about secrets lately,

and last time King
Friday showed what

his secret was to everybody.

It was his old friend Queen
Ida coming for a visit.

Lady Elaine really liked
her because she plays

the accordion, too, but when
the Lady Elaine told her secret

some people were very
surprised because she said she

and Neighbor Aber of Westwood
were going to have a wedding.

Well, Mr. Aber didn't
know anything about it,

so he was the most
surprised of all.

Let's just make believe that
everyone is still together

at the castle just as
they were last time

and as the trolley comes by
Mr. Aber is talking with Lady

Elaine about what she
has just announced.

Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

[TROLLEY WHISTLES AND CLANGS]

-Ladies and gentlemen,
attention please.

It seems there has been
a misunderstanding.

-More like a Mr.
Understanding, I'd say.

-I'm very sorry if you've got
the wrong idea, Lady Elaine.

-Well, you did
give me this ring.

-I give rings to lots of
people, but it doesn't

mean I'm having a
wedding with them.

-I don't know what
I'm going to do.

-I could take you for a fly
up in the sky, Lady Elaine.

-Thanks, X. I think
I need to keep

my feet on the
ground for right now.

-Hi, everybody.

-Oh, hi, Lady Aberline.

-It looks like a
wedding rehearsal.

Well--

-Or something.

Is it still supposed
to be a secret?

-I just found out about it.

-You mean you didn't
know that you're

supposed to be the groom?

-No, I didn't know.

Lady Elaine made
the whole thing up.

-Oh, Lady Elaine.

-I thought I heard him ask me.

-I'm just glad we
all talked about it

before it went any further.

-Sometimes I think I hear
just what I want to hear.

-What a wise thing you
just said, Lady Elaine.

-Want me to say it again?

-So more people can hear it.

-What I said was
sometimes I think

I hear just what I want to hear.

-I think you are a very
special person, Lady Elaine.

-But you don't have to
have a wedding with me

when you say that.

-That's right.

But I do have some very good
real news I can tell you.

ALL: What is that?

-Mayor Maggie has
invited all of you

to Westwood for the
official opening

of the new Westwood sandbox.

Plus, one more secret that
she's going to announce today.

-Don't tell me that
she's going to marry you.

-No that's not the
secret, Lady Elaine.

In fact, it has something
nice to do with you.

-Well, let's go then.

Queen Ida and I will not
be able to accompany you.

Queen Ida is on to
visit her next castle.

Do you have Queen Ida's
suitcase Miss Polificate?

-I do, King Friday.

-Very good.

I will take you in
the purple jet, Ida.

-Uncle Friday?

-Yes?

- Before Queen Ida
goes, couldn't she

play just one more song?

Do you have another song
inside of you today, Ida.

Plenty of songs in here Friday.

Excellent.

[ACCORDION PLAYING]

[SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

-King Friday: Excellent.

-Lady Elaine: I wish I
could play like you Ida.

I've been practicing, but I
tell you, you are the best.

-Let me hear you
play, Lady Elaine.

-OK.

[ACCORDION PLAYING]

-There you go.

-Why that's very good.

How about coming along
and we'll play some duets?

-You mean it?

-Of course I mean it.

-You really said it, I didn't
just think you said it?

-I really said it.

Let's play music together.

-Oh wonderful!

-Mayor Maggie, I presume.

-Correct as usual, King Friday.

-Do have an announcement?

-Yes.

I thought I'd announce it
here, if you don't mind.

-We would be disposed
to that, yes.

Very good.

-I, Maggie, mayor of Westwood,
do hereby announce that you all

may visit our sandbox
at any time you desire.

[GASPS]

-Excellent.

-And we proposed to construct
a museum for secrets

near the sandbox,
hoping that the curator

of your museum-go-round
in this neighborhood

will help us with the running
and the planning of it.

-Did I hear what you said?

-Will you help us plan and run
our secrets museum Lady Elaine?

-Of course I will,
as soon as I get back

from Queen Ida's and
my accordion tour.

-This is quite a day for
you, isn't it, Lady Elaine.

At first I thought
it was the worst,

and now I think maybe
it's the best yet.

-Anybody else want
to come to Westwood?

-I would.

[INTERPOSING VOICES]

-Thank you for all your help.

Oh, you're so welcome.
[TROLLEY WHISTLES AND CLANGS]

-I'm ready to see
the new sandbox.

-Everything's OK, trolley.

[TROLLEY WHISTLES ]

Just look and listen.

That's what helps.

[TROLLEY WHISTLES AND CLANGS]

-Congratulations, Lady Elaine.

-Once they were able
to talk about things,

they were able to work them out.

Lady Elaine isn't
having a wedding,

but she's going to be able
to play duets with Queen Ida

and help start a new
secrets museum in Westwood.

Those are things that
people really told her.

She didn't make them up.

Feed the fish.

Here's some food for you, fish.

[ALARM BEEPING]

Do you hear a beeping sound?

[BEEPING CONTINUES]

It sounds like an alarm clock.

Is that sound coming from
inside this suitcase?

Maybe somebody left
the clock in here.

Wouldn't be in there.

[BEEPING CONTINUE, LOUDER]

With a note on it that says,
"When you hear this alarm,

take off your sweater,
put on your jacket

saying the good feeling
song and go out the door."

Signed Mr. McFeely.

It reminds me of
that treasure hunt

that Mr. McFeely made for me.

He's always making
good surprises,

so I'm going to do what he says.

It'll probably give me
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."

It's such a good feeling,
a very good feeling.

The feeling you know
that we're friends.

Mr. McFeely probably just
wants me to take this outside

so he can then take it
back to where it belongs.

Come along.

Let's see.

-Surprise!

-What is this?

Oh, thank you.

-Happy Birthday!

-Thank you.

Mr. McFeely kept
this such a secret,

I would've never known
you were going to be here.

-The alarm clock was my idea.

-And it was my idea to
hide it in the suitcase.

-That's true.

-But incidentally,
where is Mr. McFeely?

-Oh, he had make
a very important

delivery at the school.

He said he'd try to make it
here, but not to wait for him.

-Oh, I wish you could come.

Oh, Chef Brocket, that's
the most beautiful cake

you've ever made!

-Wait till you taste it.

-When can we eat it?

-After you sing the song.

-And made a wish.

-And we give you our present.

-Oh, fine.

All right.

[SINGING] Happy Birthday,
Happy Birthday, we sing to you.

Happy Birthday, Happy
Birthday, Happy Birthday,

Happy Birthday to you.

-That is so special.

-Maybe you should make a
wish and blow out the candle.

-OK.

Does the wish have
to be a secret?

Only if you want it to be.

-Well, my wish is no secret.

I wished that you all know
how special you are to me

and how much happiness
you've brought me in my life.

[APPLAUSE]

-Here's your present.

-A present!

That's a small present.

The best things come
in small packages.

A television set for
my television house.

Oh, that is great.

Can you turn it on?

-Yes, hold it up to your eye.

-Oh, it says, "Happy Birthday."

Wow, what a nice
way to say that.

-Press the button on the
bottom and look into it again.

-Like this?

-Yeah.

-Bob Trow.

How good of you, Bob.

Shall I do it again?

-Yes.

-Audrey.

Audrey cleans everything.

Chef Brocket.

The best chef in
the neighborhood.

Joe Negri, oh that's
good of you, Joe.

Maggie.

Beautiful picture
of you, Maggie.

And Betty, our good friend.

That's kind of you, too.

Jack Aber.

Handsome man.

There's another handsome
man, Mr. McFeely.

I sure wish he were here.

-Now, does anybody
want some cake?

[INTERPOSING VOICES]

-Should I cut it?

-No, we don't cut this one.

It's another surprise.

Watch.

[GASPS]

MR. ROGERS: Cupcakes
under there.

CHEF BROCKET: Birthday cupcakes.

-Hey, they're great.

Now there's one for
each of us here.

-And Mr. McFeely.

-Oh, the other one's
for him, of course.

I'd like very much
to give it to him.

-A birthday cupcake cake.

-We could surprise him.

-We'll take his
secret right to him.

-I feel sure he'll
feel good about that.

-Feel good about that.

[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,

a feeling you know--

That I'll be back
when the week is new

and I'll have more
ideas for you.

I'll be right there!

And you'll have things
you'll want to talk about.

I will, too.

You always make each day and
each week a special one for me.

You know how.

By just your being yourself.

Whenever it's your
birthday, I'll

be pleased the way they made
me so pleased here today.

I like you just the way you are.

I'll be back next time.

Goodbye.
