[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?

-Welcome, neighbor,
to this neighborhood.

I'd like to show you something.

We're going to put
it on right away.

You ready?

OK.

[MUFFLED]

I said, now, I'm ready to look.

This is a mask,
and something that

helps you to breathe
while you're swimming

and looking under
water for a while.

This mask is like
a little window.

And divers often
use masks like that.

And I have a SCUBA diving doll
here that I want you to see.

See it has a mask
and tanks for air.

But look down here at the fins.

I'll turn it on.

You'll see.

That's how that SCUBA
diving doll works.

But I want to try this in water.

I found this.

And I wanted you to see it.

But I haven't tried
it in the bathtub yet.

So why don't we just
go to the bathroom?

And I'll get some
water in the bathtub.

And we'll try this
SCUBA diving doll.

Fill that up with some water
for a bit before we put this in.

Here's some old toys.

See if any of them will float?

You think this one will float?

Let's try it.

A boat that floats.

How about this fish?

[HORN]

I don't know whether
that would float.

No.

But you can still play
with it in the tub.

Look here, a rocking
chair, a rocking

chair that rocks
under the water.

OK, let's make room for
the SCUBA diver here.

Turn him on.

And see if he'll go.

Turn around and go this way.

Why don't we pretend that
this is a real SCUBA diver?

And let's just imagine
what he or she would

see way under the
water in the ocean.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Beautiful things that you
can see under the water,

aren't there?

Do you have a bath at
night before you go to bed?

I used to take a bath at night.

And I would float my
boats and my toys,

let them swim in
the tub with me.

I had a good time
in the bathtub.

At first, I didn't,
when I was very little.

I was afraid of the water
going down the drain.

It made a funny noise.

And I was just afraid of it.

That's why when
I got to be a man

I wrote that song
for other children

who might be afraid of that.

You know, the one about you
can never go down the drain.

-[SINGING0 You
can never go down,

never go down, can
never go down the drain.

You can never go down,
can never go down,

can never go down the drain.

You are bigger than the water.

You are bigger than the soap.

You're much bigger
than all the bubbles,

and bigger than your telescope.

So you see, you can never
go down, can never go down,

can never go down the drain.

You can never go down,
can never go down,

can never go down the drain.

The rain may go down.

But you can't go down.

You're bigger than
any bathroom drain.

You can never go down,
can never go down,

you can never go down the drain.

-It's true, too.

People are much bigger
than any bathroom drain.

Certainly, you're bigger
than this bathtub drain.

See that?

You're much bigger than that.

And you're bigger than
this toilet train.

See, you're bigger
than that drain.

And you're certainly bigger
than this drain in the sink.

You could never go down
such a little thing as that.

I think I'll have
the water go out.

We'll put these toys away.

One thing, though, it is a
good idea to get out of the tub

before the water starts
to go down the drain.

Get out and get dried off
while the water's going down.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

I'll just leave this
toy SCUBA diver in here.

Fish, another block, and
this rocking chair that

was under water.

Let's go into the other room.

Before we do anything else,
let's give the fish some food.

There you are.

Those are real swimmers.

Yes, you're underwater
swimmers, aren't you, fish?

[PHONE RINGING]

-Oh, there's the telephone.

-Hello?

Hi, Mr. McFeely.

You found them?

Good.

All right, fine.

Yes, you are, speedy delivery.

Very well, see you a
little later, bye-bye.

That's Mr. McFeely.

He's going to bring me
some other things that I

ordered to get
dressed up in today.

But we have some time
for make believe.

So let's just get the Trolley.

Trolley?

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Let's make believe that
someone is going SCUBA diving,

and walking through the
Neighborhood of Make Believe.

And people don't know who it is.

It's still night time there.

All right, trolley,
Neighborhood of Make Believe.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Oh, yes, it is a
pretty night, trolley.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Meow a beautiful meow.

-Hi.

-Meow!

-Now, wy would she
run away like that?

Oh!

I must have looked very
frightening to her.

Henrietta, Henrietta
Pussycat, it's Charles

R. Avery your Westwood neighbor.

I'm sorry if I frightened you.

-Meow, meow, really,
meow, Mr. Meow Meow?

-Yes, it's really I, Henrietta.

I'm sorry.

This diving outfit
must look very strange.

-Meow, especially,
meow a dark night.

-Oh, of course.

Well, anyway, I just wanted
to bid you a good evening.

-Meow, uh, meow meow
dressed meow that?

-Oh, I'm going SCUBA diving
at the Southwood Lake?

-Meow meow night time?

-Oh, yes, I like to.

Of course, I never,
ever swim alone.

Betty Templeton's
going to go with me.

Her husband's taking
care of the baby tonight.

-Meow should be meow.

-Yes, I think it will be nice.

-Meow meow, good night.

--Oh, you too, Henrietta,
pleasant dreams.

-Meow meow, thank
you, meow meow.

Meow a beautiful meow meow.

-Corny?

Are you still working?

Corn Flake S. Pecially?

-I've got it all
ready for you mister--

why, you look so funny.

-Oh, this is my
SCUBA diving outfit.

-Why do you need to
wear all that stuff?

-Well, it helps
with the swimming,

and the looking,
and the breathing.

-But not the rocking?

-No, and that's what
I've come to you, Corny .

-You ask for it and here it is.

-Oh, Corny!

Do you think it will work?

-I've already tried
it in the bathtub.

And it works just fine.

-That's great!

The world's first
underwater rocking chair!

Congratulations Mr. Pecially!

-Always glad to please.

But will you please tell me
why you want such a thing?

-Oh, it's a present for
Betty Okanak Templeton.

You see, she likes
to SCUBA dive.

And she also likes to
rock in a rocking chair.

So I just thought it would
be fun to give her a rocket

that she could take
SUBA diving with her.

-Well, let me know
how she likes it.

-I certainly will, Corny.

And thank you very
much for making it.

-A safe SCUBA to you, neighbor.

-Thanks, Corny, and
a good night to you.

-Goodnight.

-Tell me right away.

Tell me this very minute.

I need to know so I can
alert the whole neighborhood.

Tell me now.

Tell me--

-Tell you what?

-Tell me what star
you've come from.

I need to know right
away because I'm

going on the air with
my nightime news.

This is so exciting!

-Lady Elaine.

-Yes, you know me?

-Lady Elaine it's--

-Chuck Aber, oh, I thought
you'd come from some star.

-Oh, well, I'm sorry
to disappoint you.

-But why the get up?

-I'm going SCUBA diving
at Southwood lake.

-Well, bring me back some news
for my nightline, won't you?

-I already have some.

There's a story right next door.

Just ask Corny.

-What's he done?

-He has invented an
underwater rocket!

-A rocking chair
for under the water?

-That's right.

And here's the very first one.

-Super, thanks a lot,
I'll go right over.

Oh, on second thought, I'd
better call him on the phone

first.

People like to be told when
you're coming, you know?

-I know, Lady Elaine.

And I'm glad that you do, too.

-Oh, yes, well,
we'll see you, Toots.

Happy landings.

Hey, one other thing.

-Yes?

-Are there stars at the
bottom of the ocean the way

there are stars on
the top of the sky?

-As far as I know, Lady Elaine,
the only stars are in the sky.

-Oh, well, you can't
have everything.

-No, you can't.

But you certainly have a very
curious mind, Lady Elaine.

You're always wondering
about something,

always learning about something.

-Thanks, Toots.

Give my regards to Southwood.

-I will.

-Toot toot, I'm
going to call Corny.

-Bye for now.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Oh, Trolley!

Trolley!

Could you please
take me to Southwood?

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Thanks!

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

[CRYING]

-What do you suppose is the
matter with this child, Betty?

-Maybe something she ate, dear.

But it seems that every time I'm
about to go somewhere, usually

SCUBA diving, Carrie
Dell acts like this.

Oh, here comes
neighbor Aber now.

There, there, Carrie Dell.

-Aw.

-Is Carrie Dell
having a hard time?

-Oh, she certainly is.

And it just bothers me so.

I just hate to hear
that child cry.

It practically breaks my heart.

You know how it can be and all.

-Do you suppose it could be
the SCUBA diving outfits?

-What do you mean?

-Well, you look very
different in your SCUBA gear.

Maybe Carrie Dell
doesn't know you're you.

-Could be, could certainly be.

-Want me take off your mask
and see how she reacts to that?

-Oh, would you, dear?

I'd do anything to
settle little cherub.

-There you are.

-See, it's Mommy under all this,
Carrie Dell, just your Mommy.

-Mommy?

-What do you know about that?

I'd say that was a dramatic
change in attitude,

wouldn't you, dear?

-I'll certainly never put that
mask on in front of her again,

not until she's 21 or so.

-They can look scary.

-Well, of we go to rock.

-You have a good time.

-Thank you, James.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-We're going SCUBA
diving, Trolley!

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-SCUBA rockin'!

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-That little baby
Carrie Dell probably

didn't know that her
mother was under that mask.

And Henrietta
Pussycat didn't know

that Mr. Aber was
under his mask.

It can be really
scary when you don't

know who's inside costumes.

[KNOCKING]

-Maybe that's Mr. McFeely.

I hope so.

Yes, it is.

You have it?

-I do, speedy delivery.

-Let me help you here.

-There are several parts.

-Can you come in?

-I can.

-Oh, good, what are these?

-I went to the fire station.

And Tom let me bring it
over for a few moments.

There are a lot of
different parts here.

And I'll explain them to you.

-Fine.

-Now, let's see.

I'll put all this here.

-I wanted my
television neighbors

to see some of the things
that firefighters wear.

-You know, it may look a
little scary, firefighters

when they wear things like this.

But they don't want to be scary.

They just want to be helpful.

-Oh, yes.

-So let me see which
part I should--

I'll show you them
in order here.

The first part is down here.

And these are the
boots and pants.

Now, they always keep
them just like this.

-So that they're ready
just to go right in.

-And then they can just
pull the pants up like this.

It's caught down there.

-OK.

-And they put the
suspenders right there.

-I see.

-That's the pants.

And that keeps them
dry, rubber boots.

-Then what do they put on.

-The next part of the
outfit would be this jacket.

It's made out of the same
kind of material as the pants.

Put an arm in there.

It's heavy, isn't it?

-Yes, but people who fight
fires need to be well-protected.

-That's right.

And kept dry.

I'll just zip it up a little bit
there just to give you an idea.

-And the stripes
are there so they--

-Can be easily seen.

-That's right.

Now, the next part
would be the helmet.

Put that on.

-That's a hard helmet.

-It is, because sometimes
in fires, things fall down.

This protects your head.

-Aha.

-There you go.

And this tightens up.

Of course, we won't do it now.

And this will flip
down like that.

-All kinds of ways to protect
people who are helping others.

-That's right.

-Now, there's another part.

-What about that?

-Take the helmet off a minute
until I get this on you.

This is the mask.

And it slips--

-That looks like SCUBA
diving equipment.

-A little bit like it.

Now, slip this part
over your head.

And pull it down.

There you go.

-I'm right under here.

-And you see there's a hose here
that connects to an air t*nk.

And it lets you
breathe if there's

a lot of smoke in the
room or in the building.

-I see, but then over
this do you put the hat?

-Yes, shall we do that?

Pull that down.

And I'll put the helmet on.

And the hose fits through
here, just a second.

It gives you an idea.

This should really
go under your chin.

But that gives you an idea.

And the hose would hook
on to the air t*nk.

And there you are.

-Well, I just want you
to know, that if you ever

see someone dressed like
this, a firefighter,

that there is a helpful
person inside that outfit.

If you see somebody
like this, there's

somebody there who
wants to help you,

not somebody who
wants to scare you.

-I have an idea.

-What?

-I have a hat.

Want to try this one
and I'll try this one?

There you go.

-Do you want to put this on?

-I don't think I
have enough time.

I have to get this back
to the fire station.

-OK.

-But I'll make you a trade.

Take my hat, and you try
this just one more time.

There you go.

-Get the feel of it, yep.

-Well, I though you
would find this helpful.

-I sure did.

And I thank you for all
of this, Mr. McFeely.

-You're quite welcome.

-Can you take that?

-I can, but maybe--

-I'll get the door for you.

-See you around
the neighborhood,

speedy delivery to you.

-Speedy delivery is right,
thank you again, Mr. McFeely.

We've thought a lot about
masks today, haven't we?

But there's always somebody
behind those masks.

And with firefighters, they're
people who really want to help.

With all that kind
of talk, I think

I just need some quiet music.

[PIANO]

-That sounds quiet and
restful, doesn't it?

That kind of music might
help somebody get to sleep.

I know a word that I'd
like to give to you.

It's a word that means
making you sleepy.

The word is soporific.

For instance, if you watch
fish swimming for a while,

that can be soporific.

It can make you sleepy.

If you hear somebody
singing softly,

something like a lullaby,
that can be soporific.

It can make you sleepy.

What do you find
soporific in your life?

What makes you sleepy?

I like that word, soporific.

Next time you hear
something, or feel something,

or smell something that makes
you sleepy, you can think,

my, that's soporific,
terrifically soporific.

It's a good feeling to be
able to learn new words,

and play with words, and
be interested in all sorts

of things, isn't it?

-[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 you being yourself.

I'll be back next time.

Bye-bye.
