I've been thinking about you
all weekend long.

Did you have a good one?
I did, thank you.

Could you guess what might be
in here?

Very light. Very light.

Well, I'll show you.

Two greetings.
That's what they are.

Two greetings.
Greetings are very light.

"Hi." Mm-hmm.

And "hello."

I just wanted to say that to you
right off the bat.

And, also, I didn't change
into a sweater

Because we are going to go
somewhere together right away,

To a place that you get up
on the chair...

And a man goes like that.

Can you guess? Let's go
to the barber shop together.

All right? It's right down
the street.

Come on. It doesn't hurt.
Down we go.

[Humming]

Hiya, ange.

Hi, mr. Rogers.

How you doing?

Great. How are you?
Fine.

It's been a while since
I've seen you.

I brought
my friends.

I wanted them
to meet you.

Hi, his friends.

Mr. Spampinato.

How are you?

You're
looking well.

I need a haircut.

You got it.
This is where you

Always come when
you need a haircut.

That's right.
Good.

You are my barber.

How's everything

In make-believe land
these days?

Oh, good. Have you
been there lately?

Not lately, but I
expect to see corney

A little later on.

I really do like him.

Do you cut corney's hair?

I'm going to cut
his hair, yes.

Mm-hmm.

He is a man
who manufactures.

That's what he does

Right at
the factory.

Mm-hmm.
He makes rockets.

What's this called?

Well, some people
call it an apron,

And some people call it
a hair cloth,

But either would be right.

It is kind of like
an apron, isn't it?

Have you ever seen
my new comb?

I don't know if I used this
on you the last time or not.

This is a comb that I use
to comb hair with

Rather than cut it,
you know?

Mm-hmm.

It's a nice thing,
thick comb. It has
a nice handle on it. See?

It sure does.

Pull it through
your hair.

Would you like to turn
the airplane on today?

I'd be glad to.
Ok.

The airplane clipper.

The airplane clipper.
And here we go.

Here's the switch
here, huh?

Right there.

[Whirring noise]

See that going
back and forth.
It goes so fast.

You can hardly see it, but
it really does sound like
an airplane, doesn't it?

Yes, it does.
Rrrrrlllll!

Well, here comes
the airplane

Right up
your neck.

This is
the takeoff.

Don't tickle, airplane.

Right around
the ears.

It does tickle,
doesn't it?

Yup.

That's sure better
than hurting.

Right up around
this ear.

The airplane
goes on.

You've never hurt me.

Oh, I don't ever
remember hurting anyone,

Frankly.

Barbers don't hurt
people, do they?

No, they don't.

Actually, barbers are
here to help people,

To help them look nicer
and to feel better.

You ever see my
other airplane?

This is the one
that we call
a buzzy bee.

Do you remember
this one?

Yes, I remember that.

You want to turn
that one on, too?

Mm-hmm.

Listen to it when
you hit that
red button there.

All right.

Just like the old
buzzy bee.

There you go.
[Buzzing]

Buzz!

You can hear
what it sounds
up around your ear.

This is where it sounds
like the buzzy bee.

It buzzes right up
around the ear.

The buzzy bee does all
the cleaning-up work.

The airplane does
the heavy work.

That's why it's so loud.

I see.
Mm-hmm.

It does tickle, too,
doesn't it?

A little bit.

I think my neck's used
to it now.

Oh, I think most people's
necks are used to it.

I kind of like it
myself.

It even tickles
my hand.

Ha ha.

When I was a little boy,

I was scared to go
to the barber.

Were you, really?

Yeah. I just didn't know
what to expect.

It was a strange
experience at first.

Mm-hmm.

But when I got there,
I found out that, you know,

There wasn't anything
to be worried about.

The barber never hurt me.

And you never cut anything
but hair, do you?

Oh, no. We don't
even cut out

Cut-outs or paper
with our scissors.

The scissors cut
nothing but hair.

You don't even use those
scissors on paper?

Oh, no. Because that
would dull them,
you see.

I see.

Speaking of scissors,

Did you ever see
this pair of scissors?

This is a pair
of scissors

That thins out the hair.

Let me see.

Pretty, aren't they?

Oh, it looks like a comb
on the one side.

That's exactly
what it is,

And a scissor
on the other side.

Listen to the song
that it sings
in your hair.

Ok.
Do you hear that?

Yup. Bup, bup.

[Snip snip, whoosh whoosh,
snip snip snip]

It does sound like
a song, doesn't it?

Mm-hmm. Everybody has
different hair, I guess,

Like everybody has
a different body.

Oh, sure.

Some people have
fancy hair,

And some people
have plain hair,

And some people
have very fancy
thoughts

Under their plain
or fancy hair.

That's true.

Do you have fancy
thoughts under your hair?

Sometimes I have
fancy thoughts.

Sometimes I have
very plain thoughts.

Well, I guess that boys'
hair is different

From girls' hair, too.

Mm-hmm.

And daddies' hair
is probably different

From mommies' hair,
isn't it?

They're a bit
different. Sure.

Yes, sir. Everybody's fancy.

♪♪
♪♪

♪ Some are fancy ♪

♪ On the outside ♪

♪ Some are fancy
on the inside ♪

♪ Yes, sir ♪

♪ Everybody's fancy ♪

♪ Everybody's fine ♪

Whee!

Whee. I like that.
Once more around, ok?

You like that?

Yeah. Do a--
I can even go twice...

Twice more around.
That's a bonus.

Do all barber chairs
go around like that?

Yes, they do.

And there's really
a lot of truth to
that song, too,

Isn't there?

Mm-hmm. I think so.

Say, does your watch
have 32 1/2?

Let me see.

Yes. Why?

I promised corney
that I'd meet him

At the factory
at 33.

Would you mind?

Oh, not at all.
You want to go now?

No. It'll just
take me a moment.

I'll just pack
my scissors and comb.

We will keep your shop,
mr. Spampinato.

Good. Would you like to
have something
very interesting to read

While I'm gone?

Yeah, I would.

All right. This is the very,
very latest barber book.

And by the time you
look through this,

Well, I'll probably be
back in no time at all.

Thank you.
Bye.

Best to you
in make-believe.

"The barber book."

Don't know that I've
ever seen a barber book.

Have you?

This is a barber pole.

You know, sometimes
outside the shop,

There's a pole that
sort of goes around,

Lets you know it's
a barber shop.

Let's see what's in it.

Apron. That's this.

Remember when he put
the apron around my neck?

That's so that it catches
all the hairs there.

There's a towel.

He put a towel
right at the back here

Around my shirt.

Oh, there are the clippers.

"Electric clippers."

The first one sounded like
an airplane, didn't it?

Rrrrllll!

Can you do that?

Rrrrllll!

And what did the other one
sound like?

A bee. A buzzing bee,
he said.

[Buzz]

Not a bee that would sting,
though. Mm-mm.

Just a buzzing one.

The scissors, the kind of
scissors that the barber uses.

See that little hook up there?

That's to rest one of
the fingers against.

Put two there
and rest another one there.

Here are the thinning shears.

Remember those new ones
he showed us?

This looked like a comb.

And this was part of
the scissors over here.

And none of these things hurt.

And there are two different
kinds of combs.

This one has those little things
the whole way along.

And this is that new one he
showed me with the handle.

This book has all sorts of
barber things in it.

Here's a brush. He hasn't used
a brush on my hair yet.

Maybe when he comes back,
he will.

This is called a water spray.

It looks like you

Just squeeze that down,

And water will come out.

Maybe he'll use that, too.

And styling gelatin.

I think that's that gooey stuff
that you just reach in

And take a little and put it on
your hair like that.

Why don't we just see
how he's doing

In the neighborhood of
make-believe?

We could, you know,
with our pretend telescope.

You know how we make it.

One like that and one like that,

And put them together and up
to our eyes.

You can do it, can't you?

And into the neighborhood of
make-believe.

And there's daniel's clock
ticking and tocking.

And there's the fountain

And the museum-go-round...

And there's x's tree...

Henrietta's house...

The factory...

And there's the trolley.

Come along, trolley.

I like you, trolley--
well, who's that?

Why, that looks like bernie.

Hey, bernie. Hi!

Why, daniel, how are you?

I'm great. How are you?

Just fine.

Boy, do I like to see you
walking on your hands.

Oh, why, thank you.
It's a lot of fun.

Oh, I bet it takes a lot
of practice, though,
doesn't it?

An awful lot of practice.
Years and years.

Oh. Well, what are some of
the first things that you do

When you want to learn
to be a gymnast?

Well, one of the first
things you have to do is

Stretch out
all your muscles

Because if you do
exercises

Without
stretching first,

You're liable
to tear a muscle.

Oh, you mean
stretch like this?

Mm-hmm. First thing
you do is

Try to touch
your toes.

Oh. I would touch my paws.

Not too hard, daniel.
Don't get hurt.

No, I won't.
Stretch and...

Stretch. Right.

Stretch and stretch.

And stretch
your arms.

Ooh!

That's right.

Ooh, that feels good.

Uh-huh. And then later
with a lot of lessons,

You can learn to do
harder tricks.

Oh, harder tricks.

Would you show me
some harder tricks?

Why, sure.
I'd be glad to.

Thank you. Oh, it must
be fun to be a gymnast.

Bernie: first of all,
I'll do a trick called

A standing back somie,
all right?

All right.

Oh, my!

And another trick
that isn't
so dynamic,

But it's still
a good trick is

Standing on
your hands...

Yeah?
And walking around
in circles.

Watch. I'll show you.
Ok.

Oh, my! That looks so hard.

It isn't, really.

It just takes
a lot of practice.

And then you practice
every day, do you?

Right.

Over and over
and over again.

Mm-hmm.

Do you ever drink
hot chocolate?

Uh-huh. I love it.

Do you? Well, would you
like to come into my clock

For some hot chocolate?

Oh, gee, I sure would,
but right now,

I'm on my way to get
a haircut.

Oh, a haircut!
Uh-huh.

Do you like to get
haircuts?

Oh, I love to because
if I don't,

My hair gets
too long in back,
and it tickles.

Oh, it does.

Huh? Right back there.

Oh. Well, sometimes I get
kind of tickly

Right over in here myself.

Would you scratch
right there for me?

I sure would.
How's that?

Oh, good. Ooh! Thank you.

You know, those new
stripes get so itchy
when you're a tiger.

I imagine they would.

That's right. Well,
maybe you'll come back

For some hot chocolate
some other day.

I sure would like to,
daniel.

Thank you, bernie.
All right.

Bye-bye.
Good-bye.

Have a good haircut.

Hi, bernie.
Oh, hi, ange.

I was just on my way
to get a haircut.

Ok, mister rogers is
over there right now.

Fine. I'll see you later.

Good.

Corney?

Is that you,
mr. Spampinato?

How are you, corney?

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

Would you like to take
this pole out?

Yes. Let me help you.

I think we'll have
some more room.

Good.
Oh, boy. Heh!

I'm glad you've come.
I really need a haircut.

Well, it's about time
for your haircut,

Isn't it?

Yes.
Let's put this on
you, corney...

So we don't get your
coat all dirty.

This is a fancy thing.

There you are.

Yes, it is. It's
pretty, isn't it?

It's an apron, isn't it?

It is.
A peppermint apron.

Oh, it's set now.

Corney, do you ever
comb your hair?

Oh, I seem to always forget.

Don't you ever forget
anything?

Well, I suppose so.

Yeah. Well, I just
wondered if big people

Ever did forget anything.

Corney, I think we
forget the things
we want to forget.

Oh.

That's an idea.

Oh, it kind of tickles
sometimes.

Right around the ears,
especially, doesn't it?

Yes.

When I was little,

Sometimes I was afraid
to go to the barber shop.

Oh, really?

Yeah. You see, I thought--

I thought the barber might
cut my nose or something.

Oh, no, corney.
Did he?

Oh, no! He never did. Yeah.

Well, you see these
scissors

Don't cut anything
at all but hair.

Just hair?
Oh, not even paper.

Not even paper dolls
or cut-outs. Just hair.

I see.

Can you comb it just
a little bit? Oh, good.

Just the way I need it.
Thank you.

There you are.
Yeah.

Ohh. Feels better.

Well, let's not forget
to brush the hair off
you now

Or this will tickle you
for the rest of the day.

Oh, that's wonderful.

This kind of tickles,
too, doesn't it?

Sure does. You're
a tickling barber.

Yes, I am.

Tell me, how much
is that today?

That's a two, corney.

Two. Just a minute.

Here's a two.

All right. Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

Shall I help you
put this back in?

Oh, yes. Would you, please?

All right.

There it is. My pole's back
in. I'll get back to work.

Wouldn't you like to come in
and visit a little while?

I hate to run, but
I have an appointment

With the king in just


Oh! Well,
you'd better hurry.

Say, I didn't know that
the king had his hair cut.

Well, he really doesn't
have it cut,

But he likes
to have me check it
once in a while.

Good. Well,
happy day to you. Bye.

Bye, corney.

Say, I was supposed to
meet king friday here.

I wonder
what happened to him.

Oh, there's a sign.

Let's read it and
see what it says.

"His majesty the king
will arrive

"When the royal barber
has counted

To the royal number..."
Of 13.





[Fanfare]

Royal barber spampinato,
I presume.

Correct
as usual, sire.

Are you prepared to
inspect my hair?

Yes, I am,
your highness.

Are you prepared
to show it to me?

Yes, I am.

Say, that's in extremely
good condition.

You must take very good
care of your hair.

Of course I do.

I brush it every night,

And I put a sleeping cap
over it, too.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'd like you to come to tea

Now that you've
inspected my hair.

I'm very sorry,
your highness,

But I have some
customers waiting

Back at
the barber shop,

And I must get back.

Oh, dear. Someday I shall
have a barber all to myself.

In the meantime,
I have

Ambassadors and princes
waiting.

So I must get to them.

So I command you to take
your leave.

Thank you, sire.

Uh, what is your
fee today?

Just one, king friday.

One. Just a moment.

Here is your one.

Thank you, sire.
And good day to you.

Ah, thank you.
And good day to you,

Royal barber.

♪♪
♪♪

King friday really likes
that long hair of his,

Doesn't he?

I should say.

But he takes good
care of it, too.

Hi, bernie.
Hi, mr. Rogers.

How are you?
Fine.

Ange should be here
in just a minute.

He's over
in make-believe.

Ok.
I saw you there, too.

Yeah, I was talking
to daniel.

I was showing him
some acrobatic stunts.

Good. It's taken
a long time

To learn them,
hasn't it?

An awful long time.
It takes a lot of training.

I'm sure it does.

Do one for me,
would you?

Uh, how about just
a handstand, all right?

That'd be great.

Hey, those chairs
are fun, aren't they?

Yeah. Ok.

You mean you can do
it on that? Oh, my.

Boy, you'd never do
that at home

On a chair of
yours.

Say, that's no way
to sit on a chair.

Rogers:
he's not sitting.

He's standing,
but he's

Not touching his
feet to it, you see?

I'll be right
with you, bernie.

Ok.

Rogers: bernie's our
gymnast, you know?

That was
very clever.

How was make-believe?

Oh, it was
really fun.

King friday really
does take good care

Of that one hair of
his, doesn't he?

Let's take good care
of yours now.

All right.

Is that
the styling gelatin?

This is the
styling gelatin.

It looks like
lemon jell-o.

It almost looks
good enough to eat.

This is the part
that I like best.

I have the most fun
with this

In a barber shop.

This is the spray.
Mm-hmm.

You really sh**t it on.
It's like it's raining.

It does feel
like it's raining.

It's refreshing,
though, isn't it?

You like this, bernie?

Uh-huh.
Yeah?

Bernie, did you ever
see how you can make

Mister rogers
look different

By just the way you
comb his hair?

No.
Did you ever wonder

How maybe
grandfather rogers

Might have looked?

All we have to do is
put a little part

Down the middle
here.

And we turn
the hands of time

Back to
grandfather rogers.

How about that, hmm?

Should I be serious?

Was grandfather rogers
serious?

He was really handsome.

He always wanted to take
me fishing.

Sometimes we can
comb the hair
straight back

Like this, make
mister rogers look

Like he, um,
just came out of
the swimming pool

Possibly, huh?

Mister rogers,
I think I like you

As you were, hmm?

I had the worst time
learning

How to part my hair.

Sure. That's one of
the things that you

Have to learn
as you grow

From a little boy
into being
a big boy, huh?

Yeah.

That even feels
better, doesn't it?

Oh, it does.

But I used to get
it so crooked.

Do you have a hard time
parting your hair?

You know, I'd go like this
and like that.

Well, that's why I
don't part my hair,
mister rogers.

I comb it
straight back.

And you really
don't have to do
any of that.

That's right.
Some people...

Mm-hmm.
A little powder.

Is that powder?
Mm-hmm.

Mm.

I like you as you are,
too, mr. Spampinato.

Well, thank you
very much.

There you are.

You're a wonderful barber.

Thank you,
mister rogers.
Thank you.

I guess you're next,
mr. Jessol.

How much is it, ange?

That's two.

There you are.

Would you like to
borrow this book?

Yeah, I'd like to very much.

Good.

Thank you, kindly.

Nice seeing you.

Good to see you. I'll
see you in a couple weeks.

Good. I'll be back to
cut king friday's hair,

To inspect it
once more.

Good.

That ought to be
good for a thousand
miles at least.

I should say.
Bernie,
how are you?

Fine. How are you?

I'm fine,
thank you.

Have a good trim,
bernie.
I will.

Bye. Bye, ange.
Bye, mr. Rogers.

See you later. So long.
Bye, mister rogers.

A haircut. How's it look?

Did you ever get one?

Did they put the apron on?

Does your barber call it
an apron or a hair cloth,

That thing that goes
along the front?

And then the towel that he
put in the back.

Well, you saw ange cut
corney's hair.

He looked at king friday's hair.
Mm-hmm.

And now he's cutting
the gymnast's hair.

It's not hurting a bit.

And you saw that it surely
didn't hurt me. No.

Oh, the electric clippers.
Which ones did you like best?

Oh, let me see.
There was the one that went...

"Buzz!", Like the buzzing bee

And the one that went...

Rrrrrlllll, like the airplane.

Yup. I like to be told about
different things, don't you?

I mean, if somebody new was
coming to visit

Or you're going to go somewhere
and visit somebody,

Don't you like your parents
to tell you all about it first?

I do.

Yeah, I still like to be told.

When you go to the barber shop,

Just look for
all those different things

That we saw today, ok?

Remember this word?

Let's see if you
remember this one.

"Hello." Mm-hmm.

And this is the little one
that says "hi."

Yeah. When I first went
to the barber shop,

My mom and dad told me exactly
what to expect. Mm-hmm.

They said, "you'll get up
on the chair,

"And they'll put
that thing around you,

And it's not going to hurt. No."

So I was ready.

My goodness! Our visit went
quickly today.

But you know when we'll be

Sure.
