[THEME MUSIC]

THEME SONG: It's a beautiful
day in this neighborhood.

A beautiful day for a neighbor.

Won't 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 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.

I hope you're
feeling well today.

I've been thinking
about airplanes.

Here's a toy one
that somebody made.

In fact, it's a beautiful
model, isn't it?

Fly it around.

Do you have any idea
what that could be?

Two wooden blocks.

Two wooden sticks
and a rubber band.

See?

You don't have to have
fancy toys when you have

some other things
and your imagination.

I think maybe what I'll do is to
fly these two planes over there

where I see a book about planes.

Whee!

And we'll land then
and pick up the book

and it's called
"An Airplane Trip."

We'll just look at
the pictures in here.

Here's a family that's going
to go on an airplane trip

because they have to go
somewhere far away fast.

And you pack your bag, put
in your clothes, your toys,

and go to the airport and check
in with somebody at the airport

so they can see your ticket,
tell you where to go.

And when you walk
to the gate, you

have to go through what
they call Security.

Put your bag in a
little machine like that

and walk through
a door like that.

That way the people
can make sure

that everyone is taking only
safe things on the airplane.

Then you go to the
waiting area for your gate

and you wait for
the plane to come.

And when the plane comes,
then you go through a jetway.

And at the end of
the jetway there

is your plane waiting for you.

And when you're on the plane,
every person has a seat.

And above the seat are
little buttons for cool air

and for light and
for calling a flight

attendant if you need some help.

Here's another flight attendant.

Sometimes they'll give
you a pillow or a blanket

if you need it.

This little girl still
sitting beside her father.

When it's time for
the plane to take off

it goes very fast down the
runway and then up in the air.

See that plane
going up in the air.

Sometimes it makes a very
big noise as it goes up.

And when you're up
in the air sometimes

people like to
look out the window

like that girl's
mother is looking out.

But she likes to do some drawing
and coloring because there's

a little tray right
in front of her.

And while you're up
in the air you often

get something to
drink or to eat.

The flight attendants
give you that.

If you have to, you can
get out of your seat

and go to the potty.

There's usually one
at the front and one

at the back of the plane.

And when the trip is over,
you get off the plane

and you're in a
different airport.

And it's an exciting thing
to have an airplane trip.

But the thing to remember
is that there are always

people on the trip
to take care of you.

An airplane trip.

I remember going to see a
different kind of airplane, one

that does a kind
of art in the sky.

I went to an airport and
I found my friend, Suzanne

Asbury-Oliver, who showed
me about sky writing.

I like to think of that time.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
When I got to the airport,

I found Suzanne's plane.

It's an easy one to find.

And she was right with it.

-Hi, Suzanne.

-Well, hi, Fred.
Good to see you.

-Good to see you.
-How are you doing?

-Fine.

What are you doing?

-Well, I'm putting
some skywriting

fluid in the airplane.

Can you give me a hand?

-I'd like to.

-Will you hand me
that hose right there

that's in the barrel?

-This one?

-Yes, that one right there.

And I'll put that in here.

And now I need to
clip that little clip

on to the bolt in the battery
and that'll start our pump.

And that will put the fluid
right on into the airplane.

-Oh, I see it going up there.

-Yeah.

We don't need very much so
I'll keep an eye on it here.

That looks like enough.

Now, just unclip that.

Thank you.

Put that back in the barrel.

-That's very interesting.

-And I'll put the cap back on.

And we're all set
to go skywrite.

-Well, I just wonder
how you do that.

I mean, with fluid
like that and to make

that come out of the plane.

-Well, I show you but I need
to get inside to do that.

If you want to walk around
the front very carefully.

Watch your head
on the propeller.

And I'll show you from the back.

-All right.

I'll meet you over there.

-Step right there.

Hang on right here.

And that'll let you see inside.

And this is the button that I
push right here that puts that

fluid that we just put
in into the exhaust that

makes the smoke.

-Well, I wondered how
it makes the smoke.

-Well, that heat that
is in the exhaust

is so hot that it steams it.

And that's what makes the smoke.

-I see.

Is there any way that
we could see that?

-Sure.

You just have to
step down because I'm

going to have to start
the motor to do that.

But if you just step down
and back a little ways

then I'll start
the motor and give

you a little squirt of smoke.

-Good.

Thanks.

[ENGINE TURNING]

Is it OK to come back.

-Sure.

-You let out a lot of smoke.

-That's just what happens up
in the sky when I'm skywriting.

The smoke comes out the bottom
there and it makes the letters.

-Oh, I'd like to
see that sometime.

-Would you like me to
write something for you?

-I sure would.

-I'd write a special
little message

for you and your neighbor.

How about that?

-I'd like that.

-You can probably stand
right over there and watch.

That would be a good place.

And I'll see you
when I get back.

-You'll come back then here?

-Right back here.

-Good.

Thank you, Suzanne.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: I
found a good spot on the grass

where I could watch the
skywriting while Suzanne

put on her sunglasses
and headset

and got ready to take off.

And there she goes
ready to take off.

There were other
planes out there

that day, so I had
to look carefully.

Then I found her.

Up, up, up, she went
just like a bird.

She had to fly the
plane so high sometimes

I couldn't even see here at all.

But when I saw the
white smoke in the sky,

I knew it was
Suzanne skywriting.

One line it seemed so long.

A second line.

I tried to imagine
what she was writing.

Then she made a third line
connecting the first two.

It's an H. Then she
started another letter.

H-I. Hi.

So I waved hi to her in the sky.

Then she brought the plane down.

What a smooth landing she made.

I wanted to tell her how much
I enjoyed her skywriting.

So as she brought the plane to
a stop, I walked from my spot

on the grass to meet her.

[CLAPPING]

-Thank you.

Thank you.

-What a fancy, artistic
way of saying hi.

-Well, thank you.

It's an awful lot of fun.

-Have you always been
interested in things in the air

and flying?

-As a matter of
fact, I have been.

When I was a little
girl I remember

watching birds flying
in the air and really

enjoying watching them fly.

And then I got the
opportunity to learn

how to fly when I
was 14 years old.

So I've been flying a long time.

-I wonder who helped
you with that interest.

-My dad.

It was something
that he enjoyed too

and we actually learned
at the same time.

He was taking lessons
and I was taking lessons.

-Well it sure is a treat
to watch you do that?

Are you going to go up again?

-No, I'm all done for today.

I've got some things
to do in the hanger.

You want to walk
over there with me?

-Sure, I'd like to.

Suzanne is such a fine person.

And to think she's
been flying planes

since she was a young teenager.

Being a skywriter takes
a lot of practice.

You'd go up and then find
the right place to go over.

That plane of hers was very
different from a toy plane,

wasn't it?

I do think it's helpful
though when you can play

about things before you do them.

Somehow playing about
things is a very good

way of understanding
them better.

Make believe is a kind of play.

Why don't we just fly
over to the trolley.

Come on trolley.

Yeah.

[TROLLEY CHIMES]

King Friday XIII has asked
every one in the Neighborhood

of Make-Believe to
make portraits of him.

Last time, X and
Henrietta had made

a moving portrait on
a bunch of leaves.

You know, animation.

And Lady Elaine
said she was still

too busy to make anything.

So let's pretend about other
different ways of honoring

King Friday XIII
artistically today.

[SINGING] Maybe
something with music.

[NORMAL VOICE] As the trolley
goes past the castle garden

in the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe.

[TROLLEY CHIMES]

[TROLLEY CHIMES]

-Yes, I'm doing a
portrait of the king.

[TROLLEY CHIMES]

Uh-huh, yes, in music.

[TROLLEY CHIMES]

Here.

I'll let you hear it.

It sounds like--

[GUITAR AND SINGING]

I have a little more to go.

[TROLLEY CHIMES]

Oh, I'm glad you like it.

I don't draw very
well, so I just

thought I'd do mine musically.

[TRUMPET FANFARE]

Oh, here he comes now.

-Handyman Negri, I presume?

-Correct, as usual, King Friday.

-We enjoy your
musical artistry here.

-Oh, I'm glad,
sire, because that's

how I'm doing your portrait.

-My portrait?

-Well yes, sire.

See you have all these
others from people.

-Oh, yes.

They're fine.

-And I just thought I'd make
mine for you with notes.

-Kindly demonstrate Handyman.

-Well, you see I have
the notes started here

and they sound like this.

[GUITAR NOTES]

[SINGING] King Friday.

-Oh, that sounds
excellent to me.

-Well, thank you, sir.

I have to add some
more notes so that it

will sing King Friday XIII.

-Very well.

I shall watch you do it.

-All right, sir.

-Of course it could sound like

[SINGING] King Friday XIII.

-That's it.

That's perfect.

-You mean it?

-Of course.

It sounds just right.

Would you do that
one more time, sir?

[SINGING] King Friday.

-Well, certainly.

[SINGING] The

-[SINGING] The

-[SINGING] Thirteenth.

-And that's up here.

[SINGING] Thirteenth.

-And, of course, you may
want to hold it longer.

-And we're going to hold that
with a tie, just like that.

Now, wait a minute.

We have one more thing to do.

[SINGING] King Friday
the Thirteenth.

And we'll put a
three under there

since that's a group of three.

Now, let's see if we got it.

[SINGING] King Friday
the Thirteenth.

-Excellent.

A beautiful portrait.

My royal thanks to
you, Handyman Negri.

-Well, thank you, sir.

I'm glad you like it.

-How do you think
that would sound

with more than one
musical instrument?

-More than one, sir?

Do you have your bass
violin handy, sire?

-It's in the BV room.

-Would you like to join me
on playing this portrait?

-I shall return within seconds.

-OK.

[SINGING AND PLAYING] King
Friday the Thirteenth.

-Hi, Handy.

Greetings from Westwood.

-Nice to see you.

-We heard about the
portraits for the King

and I bring this one from
the citizens of Westwood.

-Oh, wonderful.

I can't wait to see that.

[TRUMPETS BLARING]

-Well, what a lovely
audience here.

Welcome, Mayor Maggie and
Neighbor Aber, I presume.

-Correct, as usual, King Friday.

-Have you come to
hear the portrait?

-We came with other
portraits, your majesty.

But we'd like to
hear the musical one.

-You are uniquely
costumed, Mr. Aber.

-Well, we came in the special
Westwood plane, your majesty.

-Mr. Aber, among many other
things, is quite a fine pilot.

-Oh, talents abound.

Well, Handyman, shall we?

-Of course, sire.

All right, I will give
you a little introduction.

-Thank you.

[GUITAR PLAYING]

[GUITAR AND BASS PLAYING]

-Very nice.

Would you like to join
us and sing along?

-Oh, certainly.

Yes.

-It's King Friday XIII.

Those are the words.

-All right.

-[ALL SINGING] King
Friday the Thirteenth.

King Friday the Thirteenth.

King Friday the Thirteenth.

-Oh, that's lovely.

-Thank you very much for your
offering, Handyman Negri.

It pleases me enormously.

-Oh, you're welcome, sire.

And thank you for
helping to make it

and for making it sound so good.

-Once a bass violinist,
always a bass violinist.

-Interesting you should
say that, King Friday.

-Yes, Mayor Maggie?

-Well, all the
neighbors in Westwood

got together and
made this portrait

of you and your bass violin.

-Well, those look like
little pieces of wood

all put together.

-Tiny blocks of wood they are.

And they're put together in just
the right way to look like you.

-A most appropriate artistic
rendering I assure you.

-So you like it?

-I not only like it.

I like it very much.

I never contemplated
the myriad ways

there are of making
portraits of kings.

-Mr. Aber has a most
unusual one for you, sire.

-Another one?

-One that only he from
Westwood would be able to do.

-You may proceed Neighbor Aber.

-If you'll excuse me,
King Friday, and take

a moment of silence and
gaze toward the sky.

-Silently gaze toward the sky.

I continue to gaze but I see
nothing out of the ordinary.

-You will, your majesty,
with a bit more patience.

-Is that Neighbor Aber doing
something with his airplane?

-It certainly is.

-Is he writing
something in the sky?

-He's drawing something.

-He's drawing King Friday XIII.

How splendid.

Oh, a highly respectfully
artistic, a perfect triple.

-Oh, that was wonderful.

-Did you like it?

-A Spectacular
rendering, Mr. Aber.

-If it pleases
you, it pleases me.

-It certainly does.

Oh, look.

I wish it could last forever.

-It can last forever,
your majesty.

-How is that possible?

-It can last forever
in your memory.

-Lovely sentiment.

[TROLLEY CHIMES]

Absolutely, Trolley.

[ALL SINGING] King
Friday the Thirteenth.

-Wasn't that fun?

Our imaginations can
help us so many ways.

Neighbor Aber had to imagine
his portrait in the sky

before he even started to do it.

Maybe he played with a
toy plane as he thought

about drawing King
Friday's face in the sky.

There are certainly many ways
to make an artistic portrait,

aren't there?

It's fun to see
the key so pleased.

And it's fun to see others
having fun pleasing him.

I hope that pleases you, fish.

I was just thinking, I might
use some paper and chalk.

White chalk.

Does that look like a cloud?

A cloud in the sky?

That was really
fun to think about.

There are many ways
to make pictures

and letters and clouds.

And there are many ways to tell
and show people you love them.

[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 are many ways
to say I love you.

Just by being there when
things are sad and scary.

Just by being there, being
there, being there to say I

love you.

Cleaning up a room
can say I love you.

Hanging up a 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.

[NORMAL VOICE] As
you grow, I trust

that you are finding
many more ways

to show and tell people
that you love them.

Those are the most
important things

that you'll ever learn to
do because loving people

and animals and the
world we all live in

is the most important
part of being alive.

And it can give you
such a 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.

I'll get my planes
and fly on off

and I'll be back next
time to be with you.

Good bye.
