[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.

You tying your shoes yet?

It takes a long time to
learn to tie your shoes.

We've been talking a lot
about imagining lately.

I just thought that I
would like to imagine

somebody being in
this little chair.

I thought maybe I might
just sit beside it.

You can imagine
somebody in this chair.

Let's just read this
book to the person

that we imagine
sitting in this chair.

The book is called "It
looked like spilled milk."

Sometimes it looked
like spilled milk.

But it wasn't spilled milk.

Sometimes it looked
like a rabbit.

But it wasn't a rabbit.

Sometimes it looked like a bird.

But it wasn't a bird.

Sometimes it looked like a tree.

But it wasn't a tree.

Sometimes it looked
like an ice cream cone.

But it wasn't an ice cream cone.

Sometimes it looked
like a sheep.

But it wasn't a sheep.

Sometimes it looked
like a mitten.

But it wasn't a mitten.

Sometimes it looks
like spilled milk.

But it wasn't spilled milk.

It was just a cloud in the sky.

You like that?

Do you ever look at
the clouds and think

they looked like other things?

Well, that's one way to
use your imagination.

I have another idea for
using your imagination.

This is a book for you to make
up the words and pictures for.

As I turn the page, you can
say whatever you'd like.

And that'll be
your made up book.

And when there aren't
many more pages,

then and that will be
the end of the book.

OK, now you just imagine
what might be on this page.

Now what might be on
this Page I know somebody

who would imagine a
backhoe on this page.

What do you imagine
for this page?

And there's the
end of that book.

If you made up things for
the pages in a book like this

that means that you're able
to make up a book of your own.

That means that you can
use your imagination.

And doing that is one of
the best things to help you

learn all sorts of things.

MR. MCFEELY: Mr. Rogers?

-Wonder who that is?

MR. MCFEELY: Mr. Rogers?

-Oh, it's Mr. McFeely.

Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy delivery, I'd like
to show you something.

-Oh, well, where is it?

-You just stay
right about there.

It's a good something.

And close your eyes.

-All right.

-I'll be right there.

Just a moment.

I'm getting it ready.

-A good something you say?

-Its' a good something.

Now you can open your eyes.

-Mr. McFeely,
where'd you get that?

-It's different, isn't it?

-I'll say it is.

-Well, a friend of mine made it.

And I'm taking it
to the preschool.

Want to try it on?

-It looks like it's made out of
hoses, and balls, and sticks.

Yeah, I'd love to try it on.

Thank you.

-There you go.

-That is a great hat.

-I thought you'd enjoy seeing
a different kind of hat.

-Hi, Fred.
Hi, Mr. Mcfeely.

-Oh, Marlen Barnett.

How are you?

Look what we have.

-That's a strange hat.

-Like to try it on.

-I'd love to.

-She's a great sport.

-How do I look?

-Very good.

-Thank you.

-You look as if you're
about to fly up.

Do you have any
exercises for us?

-Yes, I do.

Let's try some sitting
down exercises.

-Good, where will we do that?

-Right over here.

-Sitting down exercises.

-There's enough
room for all of us.

Let's start jogging slowly.

And we're sitting down so we're
pretending like we're jogging.

Moving your knees.

Faster.

-Speedy delivery!

-OK, we're finished.

Now let's imagine
we're climbing.

-Climbing.

-Using your arms, stretching up.

Move your arms.

And stretch higher,
higher, way up.

Stretch, and relax.

Good, let's try it again.

-Oh, good.

-Stretch, climb, climb, climb,
way up, and stretch, and relax.

-That feels good.

-That does feel good.

Let's do something for our legs.

Let's pull our knee very
gently into our chest.

And relax.

And pull in.

Don't lean back, Mr. McFeely.

-So you don't have
to do that hard?

-You don't, very carefully.

-And sitting up
straight all the time?

-Yes, you don't
want to lean back.

Down, and relax.

I'm sorry.

I need to get back to work.

-Oh, I like it when
you can stay long.

-I enjoy staying and
doing exercises with you.

-Are you on your
way near the school?

-Yes, I am.

-Well, I am too.

And I'll walk along
with you, all right?

-Thank you both for coming.

-Oh, by the way,
I almost forgot.

Today at Brocket's
Bakery there's

an extra special surprise
a little later on.

-Oh, good, well
I'll see about that.

-Speedy delivery!

Bye!

-Bye.

Climb up.

You know, it's important to
do those exercises every day,

some kind of exercise.

Do you do it right along
with Marlen Barnett?

Things like this?

It's great that you can do some
right when you're sitting down.

I think we should have
some exercise for the mind.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-That's what make
believe can be.

Do you remember Prince
Tuesday's rag doll Tommy?

In Make Believe, if two people
believe that a rag doll can

become a live
doll, then it will.

So why don't we make believe
that the Prince is talking

to his rag doll as the trolley
comes along the castle garden

track in the Neighborhood
of Make Believe.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Hi, Trolley.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-OK, I will.

Trolley wants me
to say hi to you.

Do you ever get lonely?

I do too.

But I'm not lonely
when you're around.

What did you say?

Oh, I would.

But it takes two to
believe you're real.

Oh, Handy, am I ever
glad you're here.

-Could I help you with
something, Tuesday?

-You know my rag doll Tommy?

-Oh, sure, hi Tommy!

-Tommy wants to be
real for a while.

-Oh, I suppose most
dolls would like that.

-But if you believe he
can, and I believe he can,

then will be real.

-That's fine.

When do we start?

-Ready, Tommy?

You tell us when.

-Does it have to be
just the right moment?

-Just like with most
things, some times

are better than others.

Yes?

OK.

-Is he ready?

-He's ready.

We can start now.

-Believing that
Tommy doll is real.

-Wow!

It's good to feel alive again.

-You look spectacular.

-Want to see me dance?

-I sure do!

-Yes, Tommy.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-That was great, Tommy.

-Quite a doll there, Tuesday.

-He's my friend.

-I'm ready to play.

-I'll go with you.

I'm glad you came to life again.

-Thanks for helping, Handy.

-Oh, I like to believe.

-It surely helps me.

-See later, Handy.

Let's go, Tommy.

-Bye bye.

-Hello there, Handy.

-Oh, Corny!

-Thanks for answering
my call, Handy.

-Sure, something I
can do to help you?

-There surely is.

I wondered in what direction
you might be going today?

-Well, I had thought of going
over towards Daniel's clock.

-Just what I hoped.

I've just finished an order
for Malcolm Apricot Dinko.

-Oh, that's Daniel's
imaginary friend.

-Correct.

Daniel told me
that Malcolm wanted

one of my new umbrella rockets.

And I wondered if you
would deliver it for me.

-Well, certainly, where is it?

-That's a picture of it over
there by the special sale sign.

-Oh, yes, I saw a couple
of those in Westwood

when I was there yesterday.

You make wonderful chairs.

-I surely thank you for
delivering Malcolm's to him.

-Glad to do it, but where is it?

-Oh, here it is?

-Where?

-Here.

-Oh, I see.

It's imaginary.

-Yes, I figured if
Malcolm was imaginary,

he might like an
imaginary rocket.

-I suppose imaginary friends
can use just about anything.

-That's right.

And I worked on this
one quite a while.

-I can imagine.

-Yes.

-It's a little heavy.

-It's an overstuffed
one, real comfortable.

Thanks for your help, Handy.

-Oh, you're welcome.

-See you.

-Farewell.

-Farewell.

-Hey there, Handy.

That looks like a heavy one.

-How did you know, X?

-You know, I see imaginary
things with my imaginary viewer

here.

-Well, I never heard
of such a thing.

-Learn something old every
day, don't you Handy?

-You sure do.

Well, I'm taking
this umbrella rocket

over to Malcolm Apricot Dinko.

-Oh, we were just
playing together.

-Oh, what does he look like, X?

-Oh, just like any
imaginary friend.

-What do you mean?

-He looks like whatever
you want him to look like.

-But I thought you would
see imaginary things

through your viewer.

-It's real complicated
to explain, Handy.

I mean, imaginary
things are, you know?

-I'm beginning to believe you
can't explain them at all.

-Just enjoy it.

I've got to be gong.

Lady Elaine wants to see me.

-All right, good luck.

-You too.

See you later.

-All right.

-Daniel?

Daniel?

-Oh, Handy, I'm so
glad to see you.

-You're the third one
who's told me that today.

-Well, you're just the kind
of person people like to see.

-I have an imaginary delivery.

-Oh, for Malcolm Apricot Dinko?

-That's right.

It's from Corny.

-He'll be glad for that.

Malcolm, please come out here.

He was taking a shower.

-Oh, I see.

-Here he comes.

Guess what, Malcolm?

Handyman has something for you.

Would you like to put
it down here, Handy?

Right over there is fine.

-OK, it's one of Corny's
latest umbrella rockets.

-Yes, I thought Malcolm
would really like one.

What's that, Malcolm?

Oh no, it won't hurt.

Try it.

OK, I'll try it first.

See?

It's fun.

Now you can try it.

That's it.

You see, Handy, Malcolm
does that very well.

But he just needed
a little help.

-That's the way with
everyone once in a while.

-Yes, we all need a little
help once in awhile.

What did you say?

Oh, sure, Malcolm
asked if you'll

thank him for the fine rocket.

-I surely well.

-And he thanks you too.

What?

Oh, he wants to take it inside.

-Do you need any help
to carry it down?

-I think the two
of us can manage.

Thanks again, Handy.

-OK.

-Now that's it.

Now I'll take the other side.

Down we go.

Bye, Handy.

-Bye.

[TRUMPETS]

-Handyman, I presume.

-Correct as usual, King Friday.

-And what have you been
doing this fine day?

-I'm not sure that you would
believe me if I told you, sire.

-I always believe you, Handyman.

You're an honorable man.

-Well, first I helped
Tuesday with some believing.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-They pretended that imaginary
chair was heavy, didn't they?

Could you pretend something
was heavy in your hands?

Or something was
light in your hands?

Making something out of
whatever you have at the moment

is one of the most important
things you can learn to do.

Your imagination can help
you make so many things.

Why don't we just go
over to Brocket's Bakery

now and see if chef Brocket
does have that special surprise.

That Mr. McFeely was
talking about earlier.

Come along to Brocket's Bakery.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Thank you very much.

Come back, again.

-Hello, David.

Buenos dias, Sergio.

-Buenos dias, Mr. Rogers.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-I would like to see him.

I understood that there
was some big surprise.

-Well, the surprise has
been postponed, Mr. Rogers.

I'm sorry.

But Chef Brocket has something
for you in the kitchen.

And he wants you to see him.

-Oh, good, I'd like to go back.

Thank you.

Hey, Don.

-Hi, Fred, how are you?

-Fine, thank you.

-You know you're going to have
to wait for the other surprise?

-That's what Sergio told me.

-But I have something
else very special for you.

It's something to
see and to smell.

-Oh, those look like faces.

-I've been making
these face sandwiches.

Now what you do is--

-Make another?

-Spread some peanut butter.

-All different expressions.

-That's right.

Spread some peanut butter.

And then you can take fruit,
or other things you might like.

Now, if you want to make a
happy face, take the apple,

put it like that.

-That by itself looks
happy, doesn't it?

-Yeah, but guess what,
if it wasn't so happy,

it was feeling sad,
it would be like that.

Now, if it were real
happy eyes, you'd

put great, big, wide eyes.

And if it wasn't so
happy, then maybe you'd

put little eyes like
this, a little bit sad.

Sometimes people have
their eyes like this

when they're
feeling kind of sad.

You could put an almond nose.

I feel sad.

-Well, I'm sorry.

-But other times, you
could say, I feel happy.

-You have the best ideas.

-Well, people have
all kinds of feelings.

And you can think about it when
you make this kind of sandwich.

-Of course.

-I have one more
surprise for you today.

-You mean, And you're
going to let me make one.

-I put all the
ingredients in this bag.

And you can take it
with you to your place.

And you can try making several
different ones, all right?

-Oh, banana and everything!

-Everything you need.

-Thank you very
much, Chef Brocket.

-Have a good time with it.

-You've got the best ideas.

-I'm glad you like it.

-And I'll see you another
time for the other surprise.

-OK, bye.

-Bye.

-Gracias, adios!

-Adios!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Let's just try making one of
those right now in the kitchen,

but first some
food for you, fish.

They're hungry.

But before I work with this
food, I'll wash my hands.

Do you wash your hands
before you work with food

or before you eat?

It's a good idea.

Now, let's see what Chef Brocket
has given us, this banana.

Let's see what's in here.

Oh, the bread, two pieces.

I think we'll just make
one of those faces.

That's coconut,
raisins, peanut butter,

I'll need a plate and a knife.

Plate, and a knife.

Ready to become a sandwich face.

Now, first the peanut
butter, I guess.

He said that's what
you put on first.

There.

I think I'll use this for
the nose and the eyes.

That's a good nose there.

Let's try some raisins.

I think I'll put a raisin there.

And there.

And use some raisins
for the mouth too.

And how about some
of this coconut

that he gave us for the hair?

A little hair right
there in the middle.

Sandwich face.

I was thinking we could
make a sandwich out of that

just by going like that.

Peek-a-boo!

And there it is,
a face sandwich.

I'm going to take this
to some of my neighbors

who might be hungry.

You know, people need real
food when they're hungry,

not imaginary food.

-[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 cooking
way to say I love you.

There's the cooking something
someone really likes to eat,

the cooking way, the cooking
way, the cooking way, to say,

I love you.

Cleaning up your room
can say I love you.

Hanging up your 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.

-And if you can be helpful in
this world, I can assure you,

it can give you 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 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
such a special day for me.

I'll be back next time.

Bye.
