[THEME MUSIC: "Won't You Be My
Neighbor?"]

FRED ROGERS: [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 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?

I'm going to take my sock off so
that I can show you something.

Yep.

Some time ago, I fell down
some stairs and hurt my ankle.

And the doctor had to
put this cast on my leg,

so I wouldn't keep
on hurting it.

And so it could
grow strong again.

I want to show you how-- how
it looked when the cast was on.

Just like that.

Of course, it was all one piece
when the doctor put it on.

In fact, the doctor made this
out of a long roll of bandage

and wrapped it around my leg.

And all the time
that I had it on,

my leg was underneath--
all the time.

Now during that time, I used
crutches to help me to walk.

I'm going to show
you how I did that.

These are the
crutches that I used.

Some people use
crutches all the time.

And some people use
them some of the time.

Now Chef Brockett had to
have some surgery on his leg,

and he's been using
crutches for a while.

And I saw him earlier
today, and he told me

he was going to come over here
and show you his crutches.

[PHONE RINGING]

Oh, there's the phone.

Let's see who that is.

Hello?

Well, it's Chef
Brockett himself.

Yeah.

Are you sure you don't
want us to come there?

We can, you know.

OK, if you'd rather.

Thanks.

See you later.

That was Chef Brockett.

And he said he'd be
over in a few minutes.

In the meantime, we'll
just wait for him.

What kinds of things
do you like to do

while you're waiting
for somebody?

Do you like to read a book?

Do you like to make up
a story with your toys?

Do you like to think about
the person who's coming?

Do you just like to have
some peace and quiet?

[SINGING]:Peace and quiet,
peace, peace, peace.

Peace and quiet,
peace, peace, peace.

Peace and quiet,
peace, peace, peace.

We all want peace.

We all want peace.

-Fred!

Oh, maybe that's
Chef Brockett now.

Sounds like him.

It is.

-I came over on the crutches.

-I'm so glad you came.

-How you doing?

-I'm fine.

I have mine.

I was showing my friends
what mine look like.

-Mine are different.

See, mine are the cuff kind.

-Oh, they're fancy!

-Shake hands.

See there?

And you can open doors.

Now you want to see
how I walk with them?

-Would you?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Show us.

-Now here's the very
best way to do it.

You move one crutch
and the other leg.

MR. ROGERS: Aha.

-Like that.

Now--

MR. ROGERS: You're good at that.

- --if you're real sore, and the
doctor doesn't want you to put

any weight on your sore leg,
you can swing on them like this.

See?

MR. ROGERS: Aha.

-You can do that.

But to do that, your upper
body has to be strong.

And when I was in the hospital,
I did a lot of exercise

to make my upper
body grow strong.

I did therapy with my legs
and upper body exercises.

And the other thing I did when
I was in the hospital is--

-Did you paint this?

-It's for you.

-It looks like a cupcake.

-That's what it is.

-Oh, is that great!

-Hey, now listen, if
you'd like one to eat,

you know where you can find it.

-At Brockett's Bakery.

-Right you are.

And that's where I'm
headed right now.

-Thanks very much,
Chef Brockett.

-OK.

-Oh, I'm proud of you.

-I'll see you.

-Alrighty, bye bye.

Well, Chef Brockett's not only
a good cook, he's a good artist.

Let's go inside.

Let's have some make-believe.

Trolley.

[WHISTLES AND BELLS]

Last time, we pretended that
Lady Elaine Fairchilde was

squirting a hose every
time anybody said

the words "three-cornered hat."

Well, her friend, Betty Okonak
Templeton came to visit her

and said she thought
that was silly.

And she was going to try
to do something about it.

So let's just make believe that
she's talking with Ken Friday

the 13th right now as the
trolley goes by the castle

garden in the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe.

[WHISTLE]

-Ready, Trolley?

All right.

[BELLS AND WHISTLE]

-Oh, yes, Trolley
has its hat on.

Yeah, my final word
is that everyone

must wear a three-cornered one.

-Uh, but I don't have
a three-cornered hat,

King Friday.

-Aha!

Just a moment.

-Oh.

-Now you do, Betty
Okonak Templeton.

-You think of
everything, King Friday!

[MUMBLING]

-Robert Troll, I presume?

-Correct as usual, King Friday.

[MUMBLING]

-Your three-cornered
hat, I presume?

-Ah, phew!

-Yeah.

-Correct again, sire.

-Now all three of us
have three-cornered hats.

-Yes, almost everybody in
the neighborhood has one.

And I swear, they're
all wearing them.

-Everyone except my friend,
who's squirting water, instead.

-Oh, yeah.

Well, listen, we--
we-- we're going

to have to do
something about that.

[MUMBLING]

-Well, we're going
to do something.

That's for sure!

When Betty Okonak
Templeton faces a problem,

she always finds herself
doing something about it.

Not that I'm always right.

Goodness knows, I'm
not always right.

But I do think it's important
to try to do something.

-Excuse me, Lady and Troll.

I'm called to a meeting.

Uh, but my final
word is everyone

must wear a three-cornered one.

So farewell.

-Yeah.

Farewell.

And yes, sir.

-Farewell.

A three-cornered "one," he says.

-Mhm.

-Well, farewell!

Well isn't this an
interesting life?

I think I'll get over
to see my friend.

-Uh-huh.

Yeah, well, you may need
a-- a raincoat, you know.

-I don't think for long.

-No?

Well, OK.

And like I said, I'll
meet you over there.

[MUMBLING]

-Ready?

-Ready.

-Get set!

-Get set!

-Uh, go!

[WHISTLES]

-Boy, you are fast!

[MUMBLING]

-Lainey and I learned
how together in school.

-Did you?

Well, yeah, well, I
wonder where she is.

-Hello there, tootses.

-Ohh!

-He he!

Hi, how was your time
with good old Friday?

-Oh, it's pretty
much like always.

You know, "R--robert
Troll, I presume?

[MUMBLING]

-But when we talked about
the three-cornered hat.

-Uh, now wait a minute, Lainey.

I'll squirt if you
say those three words.

-I'm not going to say
those three words!

-But you started to.

-I know, but I--

-Well, I don't want to hear it.

I want to show you
something I got in the mail

from one of my admirers.

I'll be right back.

-OK.

-Look at this.

-Ah!

-Oh, yeah.

[MUMBLING]

What is it?

-It's a scarf--
hand-painted with designs.

-Ah, yeah.

That's nice.

You can--

[MUMBLING]

- --three-cornered--

-Careful!

-Ah--ah-- ah!

No, no, I was just going to
say, three-cornered designs.

-Isn't it beautiful?
-It's beautiful.

Yeah.

-Uh, Chef Brockett made it.

-Oh, Chef did a nice job!

-Careful!

-A three-cornered scarf.

-Yeah.

-Yes, Lainey, a beautiful scarf.

I suggest you wear it.

-OK, then.

Oh, here, I'll-- let me--

-Thanks.

- --put it upon you, young lady.

-Uh-huh.

-It's pretty, isn't it?

Heh.

-Mhm.

-There we go.

-Really lovely.

Heh.

-Boy, that's nice.

-Thanks.

-And Robert Troll, I suggest you
tell King Friday that everyone

in the neighborhood
is wearing a--

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, I know what to
tell him, because--

[MUMBLING]

-Now Lainey, come on inside and
bring that silly hose of yours.

You've been acting
like an adolescent.

-What a friend I have in Betty!

-Well, goodbye
there, Robert Troll.

-Boop!

Boop!

-Bye bye!

[MUMBLING]

-Bye bye, now.

[BELLS]

-Hi, Trolley.

[WHISTLES]

-Yes, she's wearing one.

[WHISTLES AND BELLS]

-Well, it's a-- it's
a three-cornered one.

[WHISTLES AND BELLS]

-I know, I know.

Well, you-- everyone will
understand next time.

[WHISTLES AND BELLS]

[MUMBLING]

-See you later.

[MUMBLING]

[WHISTLES AND BELLS]

-So Lady Elaine is wearing
a three-cornered something--

something that Chef
Brockett painted for her.

I wonder what the King will
have to say about that.

We'll pretend more
about that next time.

Do you remember last
time the young man

who showed us how he
played the pipe organ?

Well, he told us he
was going to be playing

the piano for some friends who
play other instruments today.

And he asked us to come back.

So let's do that now.

His name is Alan
Morrison, and he'll

introduce us to his friends.

Let's just go.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Hi.

-Hi, how are you?

-Good.

Getting ready for the concert?

-Yes, I am.

-What about the
people who are going

to play the flute
and the clarinet?

-The McGill Brothers.

-Uh-huh.

-They're getting dressed in
their tuxedos for the concert.

--Oh, they're brothers!

-Yes.

Anthony and Demarre.

-Oh, I'd like to meet them.

Oh, is this-- is this they?

-Yes, it is.

-Good.

Hi, I'm Fred Rogers.

-Hi, Demarre McGill.

-Glad to meet you, Demarre.

-Nice to meet you.

-I'm Anthony.

-Glad to meet you, Anthony.

-I'm going to let you visit,
and I'll go put on my clothes.

-OK, Alan.

-Bye.

-See you later.

I'm really glad to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.

-In fact, I'd like you
to know my television

neighbor-- Demarre
and Anthony McGill.

-Hello.

-And I know that
uh, that my friend

would like to hear
your instruments.

Would you-- would you show
them how the flute sounds?

-Sure.

-Isn't that lovely?

And the clarinet?

Opopoom.

Do you ever play together?

-Yes.

Often.

Yes.

-Could you play
something together?

Just the flute and
the clarinet together?

Isn't that pretty?

H-- how in the
world did you start

to play these instruments?

I mean, h-- how did you
get a flute, for instance?

-Well, when my
parents were dating,

my mother, for some reason,
went out and bought my father

a flute, which--
which he never used.

So it was in the house.

And there was a flute
teacher around the corner.

So--

-So you picked it up?

-Yes.

-And you didn't
play like this when

you first started, did you?

-No.

It kind of sounded like--

-I can imagine that's
what I'd do with it.

How about you?

How did-- how did you
get a clarinet, Anthony?

-Well, at my elementary
school, there's a band there.

So I got to choose which
instruments I wanted to play.

And at first, I wanted
to play the saxophone,

but that was too big.

So I chose the clarinet.

-Oh, the saxophone
was too big for you?

-Yeah.

-And-- but you've been sticking
with the clarinet ever since,

haven't you?

-Right.

-Do you get any kind
of satisfaction uh,

for your feelings by-- by
playing your instruments?

I mean, do you ever play, for
instance, when you're sad?

How might you play?

Oh, that's lovely.

How would you play if
you were sad, Anthony?

Boy, it sounds like you could
just cry right through them,

huh?

-Yeah.

-Do you ever use them
to express anger?

-Oh, definitely.

-Boy!

How about you?

Yeah.

Just blow it out, huh?

Right into the instruments.

What a fine way.

Do you enjoy working
with Alan on trios?

-Oh, it's a lot of fun.

-Yeah.

-All right, what
are you all going

to be playing in--
in the concert?

-We're going to be
playing a piece by Camille

Saint-Seans, entitled
"Tarantella."

-Tarantella?

What does-- what's
tarantella mean?

-It's a spider.

-A spider!

Does it sound anything
like a spider?

-Yeah.

-Does it?

Oh, there comes Alan now.

-And he looks all gussied up.

-I'm all dressed
for the concert.

-That's for sure.

You all look so fancy!

Why is it that you wear such
fancy clothes for concerts?

-Well, for formal concerts,
you wear formal clothes.

-Well, that makes sense!

-Uh, could I hear something
that you're going to play?

-Well, would you like
to go through the parts

of the Tarantella?

-Sure.

-Yeah.

-OK.

Could I help you with the pages?

-Please.

-How about we go to the end?

-Sure.

-Bravo, gentlemen!

Oh, you play so well together.

It makes me think of dancing.

Well, your audience
is going to be

very fortunate to have
you give this concert.

Hope to see you soon.

-OK.

-Bye bye.

-Bye bye.

-How about rehearsing
again from the beginning?

-Sure.

-Those young men,
they spend their time

doing healthy things-- things
that don't hurt anybody.

In fact, their
music helps people.

They practice as
they play, and they

make life better by doing it.

I'm very proud of them for
what they do, how they do it

and who they are.

And when you use your time
doing constructive things,

helpful things, and learn
to do them as well as you

possibly can, I'm
proud of you, too.

-[SINGING]: I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

I hope that you're as
proud as I am proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

I hope that you are
proud of you, too.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

-Oh, let's see
who's at the door.

Somebody else I'm
proud of-- Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy Delivery,
Speedy Delivery!

Now some time ago,
you asked me to find

a tape of how people
make paper bags.

Well, I found it,
and there it is.

-Thank you very much!

Do you have time
to-- to show us?

-Yes, I do-- a few moments.

I also brought
with me a paper bag

to show you what it looks like
before it's glued together.

You see?

There you go.

-Oh, isn't that interesting?

-It opens up like that.

-I never thought of a paper bag
being held together with glue.

-You learn something
old every day.

-That's for sure.

-Did you have a moment?
-Certainly.

Let's do it.

-Let's watch it.

Now it goes by pretty fast.

I'll explain it.

-All right.

"How People Make Paper Bags."

Let's just take a
look at this now.

Thank you for finding this.

MR. MCFEELY: When
people make paper bags,

they start with
heavy rolls of paper.

MR. ROGERS: I've never thought
of paper as being heavy.

MR. MCFEELY: Well, it can
be when there's lots of it.

And these rolls are
too heavy for a person

to lift without help.

That's why this man uses
a machine to grab a roll,

and the machine picks it
up and lowers it down.

MR. ROGERS: Look at all
those rolls of paper.

MR. MCFEELY: They'll all
be made into paper bags.

Now watch as the roil is
taken to a nearby machine.

MR. ROGERS: Look at that
roll of paper spinning.

MR. MCFEELY: Yes,
and as it spins,

the paper unwinds and
moves through the machine.

This woman runs the machine.

MR. ROGERS: Well,
what is she doing?

MR. MCFEELY: She's
watching the paper being

printed with the
recycling symbol.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, are
these paper bags

being made out of
recycled paper?

MR. MCFEELY: They certainly are.

Now these rollers help to move
the paper along to the part

of the machine
that starts to form

the paper into a shape of a bag.

MR. ROGERS: Is that
machine folding the paper?

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

Then the folded paper is
cut to the right size.

And this part being
pulled out will

become the bottom of the bag.

MR. ROGERS: How
will that happen?

MR. MCFEELY: Well, you
have to wait and see.

MR. ROGERS: OK.

It's a complicated machine.

MR. MCFEELY: Yes, it is.

Now this roller is
covered with glue.

It puts the glue onto the
rolling pads, which then set

the glue on just the
right places on the paper.

MR. ROGERS: Look at that.

MR. MCFEELY: This part
folds the flaps down

onto the glue to close
up the bottom of the bag.

MR. ROGERS: I see.

Well, those look like uh,
piles of finished bags.

MR. MCFEELY: They almost are
finished, but a few more things

have to happen.

Here they're pressed,
turned and pushed,

pressed, turned and pushed.

MR. ROGERS: Why is
that, Mr. McFeely?

MR. MCFEELY: So
they'll fit right

into this part which turns
and it lowers them down.

You'll see in a moment.

MR. ROGERS: It looks
like a ferris wheel.

MR. MCFEELY: Yes, it does.

Now she's checking to
make sure that the bags

are made the right way.

MR. ROGERS: Looks
like a good one.

MR. MCFEELY: Yes, indeed.

Almost finished.

Here they're moved along
and put into a bigger stack.

See, there's the bigger stack?

MR. ROGERS: Mhm.

MR. MCFEELY: The
stack gets pushed out.

You see?

It's being wrapped
in brown paper.

All of the bags are wr--
wrapped in brown paper.

MR. ROGERS: Hm.

Oh, look how it's covered there.

MR. MCFEELY: Mhm.

Here it is.

Now the finished
bags are ready to be

sent out and used by
people everywhere.

-That is a fancy machine!

-Yes, but it takes a
person to invent it.

-That's for sure!

I really like that
recycling symbol.

-Well, recycling
is very important.

Well, I'm on my way.

I have more deliveries
to do, today.

-Thank you, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, you're quite welcome.

Speedy Delivery!

-Bye bye!

-Bye bye!

-Interesting things
in this world.

You know, some people need to
use crutches all the time--

not just when they
have an accident.

I really admire people
who are able to make

the best out of what
life gives them.

FRED ROGERS: [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.

We'll have lots of things to
do and talk about next time.

That's when I'll be back.

I'll be thinking about
you in the meantime.

Bye bye.
