[THEME MUSIC]

-[SINGING] It's a beautiful
day in this neighborhood,

a beautiful day for a neighbor.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

-You'll be all
right right there.

-[SINGING] 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?

Sure.

Won't you please,
won't you please,

please won't you be my neighbor?

-Hi, neighbor.

Look what I found
out on the sidewalk.

I think I know
who's kitty it is.

Yeah.

Can you just be still down
here for just a minute

while I change my shoes?

Yeah.

There you are.

[INAUDIBLE]

-There you are.

Such a good kitty.

I think this kitty
belongs to Chuck Aber.

So I want to call
him right away.

Do you want to stay
there, or do you

want to come to
the phone with me?

come on.

Come on over here.

I'll show you the telephone.

Yeah.

Here.

You ever seen a kitty?

It's a little one.

Hello, Chuck?

This is Fred Rogers.

Have you, by any
chance, lost your kitty?

Well, I have her.

Yes, just saw her out
right on the sidewalk.

OK.

I thought maybe you
would have been.

Come any time.

Yeah, we're having a
good time together.

All right.

See you later.

B'bye.

It is Chuck Aber's kitty.

Come on over here because
I have some things

I want to show my
television friend.

Yeah, come on.

She probably wants to find
her master and her home.

He'll be coming for you.

He'll come for you in
just a little while.

This is what I want to share.

This is what I was
planning to show you.

Do you know what it is?

Cars and airplanes have them.

They are belts that
come up from the seat.

[KITTY MEOWING]

-Seat belts, that's right.

See how that goes
together there?

And they're--

[HONKING]

-Very important.

Hey, wait a minute.

That may be your master now.

Let's go see.

Yes, it is.

It is your master.

CHUCK: Hi, Fred.

-Hi, Chuck.

-And hi, Princess.

-Princess is her name?

-Yes.

Oh, I was so worried about her.

-I'd like my television neighbor
to know more about you, Chuck.

-Oh, OK.

Well, as you know,
I'm a pilot, and I

work for a delivery service.

Sometimes I'm a salesman.

And I like to sing on the side.

-Oh, would you sing for us?

-Oh, surely.

-[SINGING] Sometimes
kitties are good,

and they do just
what they should.

But the very same
kitties who are good

sometimes are the very same
kitties who are bad sometimes.

It's funny, but it's true.

It's the same, isn't it, for me?

And sometimes kitties get wet,
and their masters get upset.

But the very same
kitties who get wet

sometimes are the very same
kitties who are dry sometimes.

It's funny, but it's true.

It's the same, isn't it, for me?

Isn't it the same for you?

MR. ROGERS: She's very
comfortable with you.

-Oh, and I with her.

-You can sing about
anything, can't you?

-Yes, you can.

That's what's so
nice about singing.

You can sing about anything.

If you're happy, you
can sing a happy song.

If you're sad, you can sing a
sad song and maybe feel better.

Yeah.

[KITTY PURRING]

--[INAUDIBLE] Look at
her nuzzling into--

-Ah.

-About to go to sleep.

-I love her.

-Is this your sister's car?

-Oh, yes it is.

I'm taking it to the
garage for a tuneup.

Do you take her in it?

-Oh, yes, yeah.

As a matter of fact, we have
a special little kitty case,

a kitty car case, in
which we carry Princess.

Oh, she doesn't
like it too much,

but it's for her own good.

MR. ROGERS: And I
guess for your good

so that she doesn't crawl all
over you while you're driving.

CHUCK: That's exactly right.

Yes, she doesn't distract me
and perhaps cause an accident.

-There you are.

I was just telling my
friends about seat belts.

-Oh, yes.

-And I'd like to show them
the seat belts in here too.

CHUCK: They are
mighty important.

This is the seat belt
on this side of the car.

Of course, it wraps around
and latches in the middle

on the console there.

-When somebody's
sitting in that chair.

CHUCK: Exactly.

-Now you don't need
that, Princess.

CHUCK: No, not at all.

-No, you have your own cage.

And what about that back there?

CHUCK: Oh, that's my
nephew's car seat.

He's a toddler.

And every time he's in the
car, he sits in that seat.

That protects him,
in case we have

a sudden stop or an accident.

He's well protected.

-You ever seen one
of those car seats?

[KITTY MEOWING]

CHUCK: They've probably ridden
in them one time or another.

MR. ROGERS: Well, it's mighty
important to have something

to protect you
when you're moving.

CHUCK: Oh, absolutely, very
important, very important.

Well, I better get
on to the garage.

Thank you for taking
care of Princess.

MR. ROGERS: Thank you
for showing us these.

CHUCK: You're very welcome.

-Goodbye, Chuck.

CHUCK: Bye for now, Fred.

-Bye, Princess.

[CAR STARTING]

-[SINGING] Sometimes
people and kitties go away.

And they stay, and
stay, and stay.

But the very same people and
kitties who go away sometimes

are the very same
people and kitties

who come back sometimes.

It's funny, but it's true.

It's the same,
isn't it, for you?

I know it's the same for me.

-I see people going
away, and I think

about the time they
might come back.

Glad I could show you some
real seat belts in that car.

Seat belts are very
important, you know.

Seat belts and car safety
seats-- very, very important.

I remember seeing a factory one
time where there were workers

who were putting seat
belts in the cars

as they were being manufactured.

MR. ROGERS: I like to think
about people doing their work.

This person uses a
tool to bolt the seat

belt to the frame of the car.

The bolts are very strong
so that those bolts

can't come lose.

Many different people help to
make the cars that we ride in.

Let's watch carefully.

Another bolt.

Each worker has a
special job to do

when a seat belt
is put in a car.

This worker bolts the belt
to the top of the side.

And this one puts in the seats.

Now the buckle part.

They work very quickly here.

Now it's time to
inspect the belt

to make sure it's
put in just right.

Inspector.

And they have to see if
it clips together well.

It does.

All these people
wanting us to be

safe when we ride in the car.

So this car is all
finished being made.

It's time to drive it
away from the factory

so someone can
buy it and use it.

But first, the back
part has to be put down.

There.

-Things like that
really interest me.

Yeah.

I must feed the fish now.

I was just thinking fish
don't need seat belts.

No, you don't need
seat belts, do you?

Just swim around.

I think I'll set
up the Neighborhood

of Make-Believe model.

I'll just use these
two today-- the Eiffel

Tower and the Castle.

You know, the last
time we pretended

about The Neighborhood
of Make-Believe,

Queen Sara was climbing
on this tower mountain.

Remember we covered all
of this tower with trees

and made it look
like a mountain.

But when the Queen was climbing
to put up one of the trees,

she fell and had to go to the
emergency room of the hospital.

So let's pretend that
she didn't break her arm,

but she has to wear her arm
in a sling for a few days.

Let's also pretend that everyone
who climbs this mountain now

has to wear some kind
of seat belt, OK?

GRANDPERE: [SPEAKING FRENCH]

Ah.

GRANDPERE: [SPEAKING FRENCH]

--[SPEAKING FRENCH]
Officer Clemmons,

can you hand me that
pine tree, please?

Sure.

Making a mountain is a hard job.

GRANDPERE: [SPEAKING FRENCH]

-It certainly is.

GRANDPERE: [SPEAKING FRENCH]

-Oh, yes, Grandpere.

The Queen is just fine.

But you know Officer Clemmons
took her to the emergency room

at the hospital.

He can tell you all about it.

GRANDPERE: A-ha.

-Well, at first, we thought she
had broken a bone in her arm.

But as it turns out,
it's not broken at all.

-But did she come home
from the hospital?

-Oh, yeah.

She came home.

In fact, her arm is
in a sling right now,

but she's able to do anything
that she feels like doing.

-Oh, that's a great relief.

I was very worried
about Queen Sara.

-Oh, and speaking of the
Queen, here she comes now.

GRANDPERE: Where is she?

-Oh, hello friends.

OFFICER CLEMMONS: Well,
hello, Queen Sara.

How are you feeling today?

LADY ABERLIN: Hello.

Yes, how are you?

-Oh, I'm doing very well.

Thank you.

Uh, you were all so
kind to me yesterday.

I'm sorry to have
frightened you all.

-Well, that's why I'm
insisting on climbing

belts for everyone
who climbs today.

-Oh, that's an excellent
idea, Officer Clemmons.

It looks as if this
mountain is nearly finished.

-It is, Aunt Sara.

You know, Uncle Friday said
he'd be here very shortly.

-Yes, he told he'd be
over in a few minutes.

-How is your arm?

Does it still hurt you badly?

-Well, it's quite sore.

And, of course, I have
it in the sling here,

but I'm so glad that
the bone didn't break.

I have very flexible
arms, you know?

[INAUDIBLE]

QUEEN SARA: Oh, there
must be the King.

KING FRIDAY: Climbing
this mountain

is the-- oh, here you are.

Here you are, Queen Sara,
Grandpere, Officer Clemons,

Lady Aberlin, I presume,
at the new mountain?

-Correct as always,
Uncle Friday.

-I find this an
excellent mountain.

Congratulations to all of you.

-Oh, thank you, Sir.

-Thank you very
much, King Friday.

-My Queen is feeling well today?

QUEEN SARA: Oh, yes, Dear.

-And so, therefore, I think
I shall climb the mountain

and have my tea.

-But you must wear a
climbing belt, King Friday.

-Who says so?

OFFICER CLEMMONS:
Rules of safety.

-Rules of safety.

Oh, printed in a book.

Rules of safety.

Everyone who climbs
a mountain must

wear the sa-- very well then.

You may apply the belt.

Oh, it's like a very
firm rope, is it not?

LADY ABERLIN: It
is, Uncle Friday.

I've been using
it this afternoon.

-Oh, very good.

OFFICER CLEMMONS: There
you are, King Friday.

-I am now prepared to climb.

Are you prepared to watch?

LADY ABERLIN: We are.

Indeed, we are.

QUEEN SARA: Be careful, dear.

-Yes, I will, my dear.

Climbing with the new mountain.

[CHEERING]

KING FRIDAY: Excellent mountain.

Excellent.

Thank you so much for
building it for me.

And now some tea.

LADY ABERLIN: Oh, yes.

Of course.

KING FRIDAY: The mountain
for the tea party.

And then plenty of milk,
please, Lady Aberlin.

And you may stir it
with my real spoon.

Thank you.

Perfect.

-There you are, Uncle Friday.

-Oh, thank you, Lady Aberlin.

LADY ABERLIN: You're welcome.

-Oh, it tastes so good
up here on the mountain.

And some for Queen Sara and
the rest of you, please?

LADY ABERLIN: Oh, certainly.

Aunt Sara, how do
you like your tea?

QUEEN SARA: Oh, I like it with
a lot of milk, just like Friday.

We've always liked
our tea the same.

-There you go, Officer Clemmons.

And Grandpere, how
do you like yours?

GRANDPERE: [SPEAKING FRENCH]

-No sugar.
GRANDPERE: [SPEAKING FRENCH]

OFFICER CLEMMONS: OK,
there you are, Grandpere.

GRANDPERE: [SPEAKING FRENCH]
LADY ABERLIN: [SPEAKING FRENCH]

OFFICER CLEMMONS: Not
sugar or milk, please.

KING FRIDAY: What
an excellent thought

this was of mine to have
you build this mountain.

[CHUCKLING]

KING FRIDAY: I have
another thought.

-Oh, you don't have another just
today, do you, Uncle Friday?

KING FRIDAY: Oh, but yes I do.
LADY ABERLIN: Another thought?

-Another thought.

LADY ABERLIN: Uh, what-- what--
what is it, Uncle Friday?

-Well, since I like
this mountain so much,

I think it would be nice
to have an opera which

takes place on this mountain.

-Oh, an opera?

KING FRIDAY: Yes.

-Oh, what sort of an opera
would you, Uncle Friday?

-A mountain opera, of
course, Lady Aberlin.

But you may call Reardon and
tell him to come at once.

LADY ABERLIN: Oh,
certainly, Sire.

I'll do that.

-Yeah.

In the meantime,
Officer Clemmons,

would you please sing
something operatic?

OFFICER CLEMMONS:
Certainly, Your Majesty.

QUEEN SARA: That's
a lovely idea.

GRANDPERE: [SPEAKING FRENCH]

-[SINGING IN FRENCH]

-Oh, that's lovely!

You sing beautifully,
Officer Clemmons.

OFFICER CLEMMONS: Well, thank
you very much, Queen Sara.

-Oh, yes.

It's excellent.

Oh, who is that up there?

Fairchilde.

-Just thought you'd want some
decoration for your mountain.

KING FRIDAY: Your
likeness, I presume.

LADY ELAINE FAIRCHILDE: I think
it's very good, don't you?

KING FRIDAY: Well,
you would, Fairchilde.

-You can land now, dear.

Oh, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Back down a minute.

KING FRIDAY: Uh--

LADY ELAINE
FAIRCHILDE: Friday, uh,

would you help me take
off this safety belt?

-Oh, I'll help you,
Fairchilde, honestly.

LADY ELAINE FAIRCHILDE:
Just unhook me back here.

KING FRIDAY: There you are.

LADY ELAINE
FAIRCHILDE: Oh, good.

OK, Chuck, you can land now.

That's it.

Well, it looks like
we're having a party.

[CHUCKLING]

-Uh, we're going to have
an opera, Fairchilde.

-What about?

-About a mountain, of course.

-Uncle Friday?

KING FRIDAY: Yes, Lady Aberlin?

-Oh, hi, Lady Elaine.

LADY ELAINE FAIRCHILDE:
Hello, dear.

-I'm having a lot of
trouble contacting Reardon.

KING FRIDAY: Did
you try [INAUDIBLE]?

-Yes, I did.

I tried almost everywhere
I can think of.

KING FRIDAY: Well,
you'll find him tomorrow.

-I hope so.

KING FRIDAY: Yes.

-What is that?

LADY ELAINE FAIRCHILDE:
Isn't it beautiful, dear?

-Well--

LADY ELAINE FAIRCHILDE:
Just a lovely decoration

for the new mountain.

GRANDPERE: This mountain
is just beautiful,

and I think that I'm
glad that you like it.

-Oh, Grandpere, that's right.

If it weren't for you, we'd
have a very low mountain.

-Uh, royal gratitude for
this mountain, Grandpere.

We'll need it for
just a few more days.

Now we must give
more serious thought

to the making of
the mountain opera.

LADY ABERLIN: Yeah.

CHUCK: Excuse me, please.

LADY ABERLIN: Oh, hi Chuck.

LADY ELAINE FAIRCHILDE:
There's my pilot.

You remember Mr.
Aber, everybody.

LADY ABERLIN: Sure we do.

-Lady Elaine, I have your
receipt for the granite works.

LADY ELAINE
FAIRCHILDE: Oh, good.

Just keep it on file, dear.

-All right, I will.

LADY ELAINE FAIRCHILDE:
I think the sculpture's

a great addition
to the mountain.

CHUCK: Yes, it's--

KING FRIDAY: And now that
we have this mountain,

we are going to have
a mountain opera.

CHUCK: Oh, a royal
form of entertainment.

KING FRIDAY: I think so.

Do you sing opera, Mr. Aber?

-Yes, Sire, I do.

KING FRIDAY: You may
be called into service.

-Well, I'm as close
as your telephone.

There's even one in my airplane.

KING FRIDAY: Good, very good.

And you keep trying
to reach Reardon,

Lady A and Commodore C.

OFFICER CLEMMONS: Commodore?

KING FRIDAY: I like
the title Commodore,

so I've made you a Commodore
for the rest of the week.

OFFICER CLEMMONS: Well, thank
you very much, King Friday.

KING FRIDAY: Very good.

-Onward, everyone.

KING FRIDAY: Onward,
and [INAUDIBLE].

-So they're going to
have another opera

in the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe

and King Friday called
Francois Clemmons Commodore.

It really surprised
him, didn't it?

Well, King Friday has lots
of surprises all the time.

But I always like it when they
make up operas in Make-Believe.

Do you?

And the one they're going
to make up this time

is going to be about a mountain.

I often like to think
of the other operas

that we've seen
together, you and I.

-[SINGING] There's never never
never never never any trouble

here in Bubble Land,
Bubble Land, Bubble Land.

There's never never never
never never anything

but joy right here.

So keep on blowing bubbles
and protect the ones you earn.

Remember it's your bubbles
that will always help you learn

that there is never never never
never never never never never

never never never any trouble
here in Bubble Land, Bubble

Land, Bubble Land,
Bubble Land, Bubble Land.

-[SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

-I want to be--

-I am a potato--

-A potato bug.

Bug.

Potato bug.

A Potato bug.

-I want to be a potato bug.

-A potato bug.

Oh, can't you see--

-Maybe I'll run away
from here, and then I'll

come back another year because
I don't want to be a cow.

-Potato bug, potato bug,
potato bug [INAUDIBLE].

-I want to be a potato bug.

-Potato bugs groove, potato
bugs groove, groove, groove

-[SINGING] Look what we
found without looking.

We found the one of our dreams.

Look what we've come
upon happily, happily.

We are in love it seems.

Look what we found
without searching.

We found [INAUDIBLE]
that is [INAUDIBLE].

Look how we both can be working
ecstatically with one who's

been looking for
someone like me.

Look what we found
without looking.

-So you can make up all kinds
of things and sing them,

and you can call that operas.

Sure.

It's kind of fun, isn't it?

We'll think more about
making up a new opera

the next time we're together.

Look what I found
without looking.

[CHUCKLING]

-Did you ever find
anything without looking?

Sometimes you can find a friend
without even looking for him.

I always think
what a good feeling

that is, finding a friend
without even looking.

-[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 a special day.

You know how.

By just your being yourself.

That's why everybody who knows
you wants you to be safe.

Use things like seat belts,
and car safety seats, and all.

I'll be back next time.

Bye.
