21x06 - Growing

[bunniefuu]

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 beau-- tiful 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.

Sometimes, it takes me a
while to zip up my sweater

and tie my shoes.

You know, one of my
television neighbors

told me he'd like me to play
with model cars more often.

So I brought this one
today to show you.

And I thought I'd
build some things

for it, some things with blocks.

I'll just get my
bag of blocks here.

Bag of blocks.

And we'll just build a roadway.

There.

Have a good road along
which the car can move.

And this might be
nice-- to have a ramp

for it to go up and down.

Let's try that.

Now I can just go
back home this way.

I remember times when
I was a little boy,

I wanted so much to
grow up right away

and drive a real
car like my daddy.

And I'd think about that while
I was playing with my toy cars.

In fact, I played with
all kinds of models.

I'll get one in the kitchen.

Make the Trolley go along here.

Of course, the Trolley
would need tracks,

but-- [BELL] yeah,
there it goes.

Trolley Trolley.

I guess that's one
reason why I like

to show you a lot
of different things.

Because I remember thinking
about a lot of different things

when I was little.

[PHONE RING]

Oh, there's the phone.

Let's see who that is.

Hello?

Hi, Marilyn, how are you?

You know me, I always like it
when you come for exercises.

Certainly.

Very soon then.

All right, we'll be ready.

See you later.

Bye bye.

Marilyn Barnett.

She said she'd be right
over and we could--

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Well, I know Marilyn's
a fast runner,

but I didn't know
she was that fast.

Oh, it's Mr. McFeely.

Come in, Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy Delivery to you.

-Speedy Delivery to you.

-Betsy and I thought
we'd do some advertising

for our business.

-What kind of advertising?

-Well, we made up a song
about Speedy Delivery.

And we thought we'd just sing
it to anybody who might be

interested in our
delivery service.

-Well, you know I'm always
interested in your service.

-Well, I know that.

But I thought you'd like
to hear the song anyhow.

-Well, I would like
to hear the song.

-Already.

[SINGING] Is there
anything you want?

Is there 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.

-Very good, Mr. McFeely.

-Oh, thank you, thank you.

Is there anything
you want or need

you want me to pick
up and deliver?

-I was just thinking
I'd like to know

how people make model cars.

-Oh, you mean the kind
you can play with.

-Mhm.

I'll just show you.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Oh, there's somebody
at the door.

-Well.

Oh, that kind.
-That kind.

-Well, I'll try to find
out for you, already?

-Yeah.

Let's just see who this is.

-Already.

-Oh, it's Marilyn.

Marilyn, hi.

-Hi, Fred.
-Come on out, Mr. McFeely.

-Are you ready?

-Mr. McFeely's here.

-Hello.

-Good morning.

Will you join us?

-I'd like to.

Sure.

-She's come to give
us some exercises.

-You tell me what to do.

-Mr. McFeely, why don't
you stand over here.

-Over there?

Already.

-And Mr. Rogers--
Fred-- just stand there.

-OK.

-We always want to
start with a warm-up.

We have exercises today for
the top part of our bodies.

But let's warm up our bodies.

Let's move our feet.

-Oh, that's like Speedy
Delivery, isn't it?

-Yes, it is.

-Speedy Delivery.

-Let's exercise our arms.

Great.

-I can feel it.

-Now we're ready to stretch.

-Stretch?

OK.

-Yes.

Stretch your arms out.

And all we're going
to do is twist to one

side, twist to the other side.

Try only to twist the
top part of your body.

-Oh, so you don't move your--
your feet or your legs, huh?

-Correct.

-Oh, I can feel that stretching.

-And the last exercise-- now,
you would normally do them

longer than this, but we
don't have time today.

So just stretch your arms out--

-Yeah?

-And we're going to hug.

And stretch.

And hug.

That's right.

Stretch.

Hug.

Now I want you both to
work on those exercises.

I need to get back to my class.

-Already.

Well now, we do this
one with the clapping.

And then what was the
next one you showed us?

-The stretch.

-Stretch.

-Stretching out.

-Stretching this way.

Yeah.

OK.

And then the hugging on.

-The hug.

-OK.

I'll try to remember.

-OK.

-Thanks.

-You're welcome.

-I'm always glad
when you can come.

Do you have just one
minute for a commercial?

-A commercial?

Certainly.

-Thank you, lady and gentleman.

Here we go.

[SINGING] Is there
anything you want?

Is there 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.

And that's my commercial.

-That's very nice.

In fact, I do need a
delivery from the school.

-Well, I'll come right
along with you now, already?

-That's really speedy.

Bye, Fred.

-Bye, Marilyn.

Thanks so much.

Thank you, Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy Delivery to you.

Bye bye.

-[SINGING] Speedy
Delivery to you.

[HUMMING] You know, I was just
thinking of the many kinds

of growing that we
human beings do.

Yeah.

Our bodies grow on the outside.

But growing on the inside is
one of the most important.

In fact, inside growing takes
more time than outside growing.

We can grow on the inside all of
our lives, no matter how small

or how tall we are.

Put this back here.

Think about Trolley.

[BELL]

Do you suppose this
big trolley was

a little model like this
one a long time ago?

Let's think about
some things like that

as we pretend that we
go with this Trolley

to the Castle in the
Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

OK, Trolley?

[BELL]

-How about this one, Tuesday?

Stand very tall--

-Could I ask you a question?

-Well, of course.

What is it?

-How did you get to be so big?

You're even bigger than Trolley.

-Mhm.

I was a little boy,
and I grew, and I grew,

and I did exercises,
and I ate, and I--

-I do all that, but
I don't get to be

big like you, or like Daddy.

[TRUMPETS]

-Oh, Tuesday and
Neighbor Aber, I presume.

-Correct as usual, Daddy.

-Correct as usual, King Friday.

-And what occupies your time
and talents today, gentlemen?

-We were doing some exercises.

-What manner of exercises?

-Would you like to try?

-Of course.

-All right.

Here's a great one.

Extend your arms.

-Yes.

-And hug.

-And hug.

-Extend and stretch.

And hug.

-Uh, Tuesday, what about you?

Why aren't you exercising?

-It doesn't do any good for me.

-What do you mean?

-I've tried them, and
I still don't grow.

Oh, Daddy, will I ever
get to be as big as you?

-I don't know, Son.

-You see.

-But I do know that you
will get to be a man.

Because that's what little boys
do-- they grow up to be men.

-But it takes too long.

-It does seem to, doesn't it?

-It sure does.

Even the Trolley's
bigger than I am.

-Do you remember, Neighbor Aber,
when you were a little boy?

-Oh yes, Sire.

I was just starting to
tell Prince Tuesday.

I could hardly wait
to get all grown up.

-And now that you are grown
up, what do you think about it?

-Oh, it's fine to be grown up.

But when I see children
and the things they can do,

I think it's mighty
fine to be a child too.

-What do you mean the
things that children can do?

-Mm, crawling under a table,
sitting under a chair, lots

of things that I
couldn't do now.

If I may, I'll sing you some.

-You certainly
may, Neighbor Aber.

-[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
grownups ever dare?

You're a child so you can do it.

You can do it anywhere.

Role in the grass.

Squish in the mud.

Lick an ice cream cone.

-Ice cream cone.

-[SINGING] 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.

-Excellent sentiment
and rendition.

-Well, thank you.

-Well, I still want to
be as big as you men.

-Telephone call.

There's a telephone call.

-Oh, look who's here.

Miss Paulificate, I presume.

-Correct as usual, King Friday.

Ah, there's a telephone call.

-And who calls the King today?

-Nobody at the moment.

This call is for Charles R.
Aber, Westwood neighborhood.

-Oh, what a relief.

-Oh, well thank you,
Miss Paulificate.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Mayor Maggie.

How are-- really?

Wow.

N-- no kidding?

Really?

Well, does it have teeth?

Is it scary looking?

All right, I will.

Remember, remain calm in
the face of everything.

Yes, Mayor Maggie.

Farewell.

Wow.

Oh.

Thanks again, Miss P.

-Excuse my asking, but
what was that all about?

-Well, it seems that some
big thing has just appeared

in Westwood, and
everyone there is

trying to decide
what to do about it.

And they want me
to come right away.

-And so you must, Neighbor Aber.

-Well, I'll keep you posted.

You try to keep up your
exercises, Tuesday.

Well, I'm off to
see the big thing.

-Big thing.

-Good bye for now.

-Farewell then.

-Oh, I wish I were a big thing.

I'd get so big, I'd carry
this whole Castle to Westwood.

They'd see.

-Well, Tuesday--

-[SINGING] Is there
anything you want?

Is there anything you need?

McFeely's Delivery brings
it to you here with speed.

Oh, hello, neighbors.

-Hi, Mr. McFeely.

-Hi, Mr. McFeely.

-Anything you want?

Anything you need?

-I want to be a big man.

-Well, of course
you do, and that's

what you're growing to be.

-But I want to be a big man now.

-Well, growing takes time.

Isn't that right, King Friday?

-Of course it takes time.

Yes.

-Well, I'm going to find
out how some place else.

-Well, I declare.

-Before you declare
anything, Mr. McFeely,

I wish to compliment you
on your advertising jingle.

-Oh, you mean the
Speedy Delivery song.

-Excellent use of your
considerable talents,

don't you think,
Miss Paulificate?

-Never know you had it
in you, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, thank you.

It took me a long time to
be able to carry a tune.

-Just like it's
going to take Tuesday

a long time to become a man.

-I remember feeling the
same way when I was a boy.

Wanted to be as big as my dad
when I was five years old.

-I guess I did too.

Now, my father was a large man.



-Did you hear?

-Oh, Sara, I'm so
glad you're here.

-Did you hear about it, Friday?

Oh, how do you do, Mr. McFeely?

Miss Paulificate?

-Now, before you make
any announcements,

I'd like you to hear
Mr. McFeely's jingle.

-Oh, but Friday--

-Please humor us, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, if you insist.

If you insist.

[SINGING] Is there
anything you want?

Is there 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.

-Well, that is truly excellent.

And there is something I
want and something I need.

-Well, what is it, Queen Sara?

-What is it, Sara?

-I was up in the lookout
tower checking on the crops,

and I noticed this
large looking ball

or something over in
the Westwood area.

-Maybe that's what Mayor
Maggie was calling about.

-Was it beautiful?

-I couldn't tell, but
it was big, very big.

-I'm sure they'll take good
care of it in Westwood.

-But Dear, I noticed
that that big thing

was rolling slowly
toward our Neighborhood.

-Oh, I better go check on that.

-OK, we'll see you later.

-Incidentally, where's Tuesday?

-Well, he's gone to try
to become an instant man.

-I don't want that big
thing to frighten him.

[BELL]
-Oh, there's Trolley.

-Oh, yes.

Yes, Trolley.

Did you, by any chance,
see the big thing?

[WHISTLE]

Oh, that big?

Well, we'll have
to see about that.

-Bye, Trolley.

KING FRIDAY: Yes, thank you.

[BELL]

-What do you suppose
that big thing

could be that
appeared in Westwood?

What do you think Mr. Aber and
Mayor Maggie will do about it?

We'll think more about
that and Prince Tuesday

and his wanting to be a
man right away next time.

Takes a lot of patience to be
a growing person, doesn't it?

It surely does.

Some things need to be just
the size they are to be useful.

I'm glad that this
car and these blocks

are just the size they are.

They're just right to play
with, just right to build with.

In fact, I thought I might
build some houses here.

That could be a house.

Maybe this could be
an apartment place.

The highway.

Could be a pumpkin.

It could be a lamp post.

I was just thinking, it's
just living things like you

and I are that grow.

Other things like models
and blocks don't grow.

Because they aren't alive.

We human beings grow and
change because we are alive.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Let's see who that is.

Why, it's Mr. McFeely again.

Come in, Mr. McFeely.

-How do you do?

How do you do?

Well, I found the
tape you wanted--

How People Make Model Cars.

-You really do do
what you say you do.

-Speedy Delivery.

-I'll say.

-Now, do you have some
time to watch it now?

-I do if you do.

-I do.

All in a day's work.

-Good.

Well, let's just show
it on Picture Picture.

How People Make Model Cars.

And this looks very much
like the one we have too.

All right, show it
on Picture Picture.

How People Make Model Cars.

Let's watch it together.

-Already.

MR. ROGERS: Now, what are those?

MR. MCFEELY: Well,
those are zinc blocks,

they're called ingots, and
people make cars from them.

And the ingots go
into this machine

and get melded into liquid.

MR. ROGERS: That looks hot.

MR. MCFEELY: Oh, it is.

It's very hot.

After the zinc is melded, it
goes into a molding machine.

MR. ROGERS: Is that the machine?

MR. MCFEELY: That's it.

MR. ROGERS: What's he
taking out of there?

MR. MCFEELY: Well, those will
be the top parts of the cars.

MR. ROGERS: They sure
don't like toy cars yet.

MR. MCFEELY: Oh, just wait.

You'll see.

MR. ROGERS: Lots of
different ones there.

MR. MCFEELY: Lots
of different ones.

Now he pulls the cars apart, and
puts each different kind of car

into a separate barrel.

MR. ROGERS: Uh-huh.

He certainly works
fast, doesn't he?

Now why does he throw that
piece onto that conveyor belt?

MR. MCFEELY: Well,
that's a scrap

of zinc that's going
to be recycled.

It'll get melded along with more
zinc blocks like we saw before,

and so factory workers
can make more cars.

MR. ROGERS: There it
goes down the slide.

MR. MCFEELY: Down the slide.

MR. ROGERS: And it's
melting there, isn't it?

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.
It's melding.

MR. ROGERS: What's
happening now?

MR. MCFEELY: Well, there's a
little extra metal on each car,

and it's called flash.

And the edges of
that flash are sharp,

and they need to be taken off.

MR. ROGERS: Yeah, well, it's
important for toys to be safe.

MR. MCFEELY: That's for sure.

See this machine?

MR. ROGERS: Mhm.

MR. MCFEELY: It's
shaking off the flash.

That extra piece of metal
is being shaken off.

MR. ROGERS: It's fun to watch.

It looks like dancing cars.

Oh, that's the extra piece--
the pieces of metal, I guess.

MR. MCFEELY: Right,
that was taken off

those cars by the
dancing machine.

Away they go, up the
conveyor belt to be painted.

MR. ROGERS: Look at
all those future toys.

MR. MCFEELY: Future
toys to be played with.

These workers hang
cars on metal racks.

And the racks move
into a painting area,

and the cars get spray painted.

MR. ROGERS: Look how many people
it takes to make little cars.

MR. MCFEELY: Nothing
gets made without people.

MR. ROGERS: Each car
has its own hook.

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

You see that machine
that's moving up and down?

MR. ROGERS: Where?

Oh, yes, there.

MR. MCFEELY: You see?

It's-- it's spraying
the cars with paint.

MR. ROGERS: Aha.

You know, it moves so
fast, you can't even

see the paint going on.

MR. MCFEELY: You see?

There's a silver car.

One minute, they're silver, and
the next minute, they're blue.

MR. ROGERS: Isn't that
interesting to watch?

Around and around in circles.

MR. MCFEELY: Now, after the
paint has dried on the car

frame, it's time to put the
bottoms and the wheels on.

MR. ROGERS: Oh,
look at all those.

MR. MCFEELY: The people
in another factory

make those parts of the toy.

Now, this woman puts the wheels
in just the right position,

and the machine
tightens them, you see?

MR. ROGERS: Mhm.

MR. MCFEELY: Watch.

There we go.

They're tightened.

MR. ROGERS: I wonder if she ever
thinks about all the children

who will enjoy playing
with these cars.

MR. MCFEELY: Oh, I know I
would if I were working there.

MR. ROGERS: Now,
she puts the bottom

on the frame first,
and then the wheels.

MR. MCFEELY: Mhm.

MR. ROGERS: And you
say that little machine

just tightens them all together?

MR. MCFEELY: Yes.

Now watch one more
time, you'll see.

MR. ROGERS: Into the tightening
machine, and there it is.

MR. MCFEELY: Yep.

And then she checks each
car to make sure everything

is just right.

MR. ROGERS: And into
the box they go.

MR. MCFEELY: Into the box.

And now they're
ready to go to stores

where people buy
them to take home.

And I'm sure they'll have
fun playing with them.

MR. ROGERS: Mhm.

I hope so.

All those machines,
but it takes people

to make things really
go, doesn't it?

-It certainly does.

-I appreciate people who
make toys and cars like that.

-And deliveries.

-And deliveries.

Incidentally, how did
you find this so quickly?

-I found it at the library.

Whenever I'm looking
for something like this,

I go to the library first.

-Aha.

-[BOTH SINGING] McFeely's
Delivery is a speedy delivery.

Speedy Delivery to you.

-Speedy Delivery.

-Speedy Delivery is right.

-Well, my commercial
must be working

because it's getting busy today.

So I have more
deliveries to make.

So I'll say Speedy
Delivery to you, already.

-Thanks, Mr. McFeely.

-You're quite welcome.

-You played with model cars when
you were little, didn't you?

-Oh, I did.

As a matter of
fact, those blocks

look just like the ones I
had when I was a little boy.

And I still have
the bag at home.

And my grandchildren
sometimes play with it.

-Oh, great.

Thanks.

-Good day.

-Good day to you.

-See around the neighborhood.

-All right.

Good kind of play.

Models and blocks.

But when you play with things,
you clean them up afterwards.

In the blocks go.

We can make something
different with them next time.

A road one today,
a field the next.

Bag of blocks.

Oh, I have to feed the
fish, and put this back.

There you are, Trolley.

Model Trolley.

Oh, I remember the first time
I was allowed to feed the fish

in our home when I
was a little boy.

I fed them just enough.

And my mother told me
how much I had grown.

That really felt good.

I hope you feel good about
the ways you're growing,

inside and out.

We all need to feel
good about our growing.

[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 a lot of things
that we'll want to talk about,

won't we?

Always gives me a
good feeling to know

that we'll be back together.

You and I. Bye bye.
