Did you have a good weekend?

Oh, I was thinking about you
so much.

You do, about
your special friends, you know?

Yeah.

I've been collecting things
this weekend.

It's what I have
in this suitcase.

Oh, I'm not going to go away.

No, they're not clothes in here,
mnh-mnh.

They're things, oh, one --

Some are about that big.

Some are about that big.

One's about that big.

Mm-hmm.

I borrowed them.

Can you guess
what they might be?

One looks like a clown.

One looks like...

a baby.

You'll see.

♪♪

This is the big one
I was telling you about.

Doll baby.
Yeah.

You're a good-looking
doll baby, yeah.

This one belongs to Jerry --
lives nearby.

We'll put her back in.

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

Her name's Georgette.

I like her.

Here's the clown one.

Boop, boop.

Isn't he great?

Mm-hmm.

I borrowed him from David.

And this is a nice Indian lady.

Wait until I straighten
her feather.

There you are.

Look at the back.

There are her...two babies
on her back.

See her beads?

Oh, my neighbors have
lots of different dolls.

Here's one of a little boy
with a rattle.

I like this one
particularly well.

Isn't she pretty?

And when you lay her down,

her eyes go closed
as if she's going to sleep,

and then when you
bring her back up,

her eyes open up,
and she awakens.

Mm.

Here.

Oh, look at this one.

Raggedy Ann.

Raggedy Ann...

with your shoe-button eyes.

You see the kind
of nose she has?

Just a triangle for a nose.

Look very closely at her nose.
See?

[ High-pitched ]
Wheep, wheep, wheep.

And shoe-button eyes.

Raggedy Ann, I'd like
to make you something extra...

to wear.

This is just a paper napkin...

♪♪

...and from the corner
of the paper napkin...

♪♪

...just make a kind of
a smile at the corner...

...tear off a little like that.

[ Chuckles ]

Oh, I made it too big.

Let me try again.

I'm sorry.

If you're gonna do this,
have plenty of paper napkins.

Smile at the corner...

...and that much can be a skirt.

You like that skirt,
Raggedy Ann?

Sure, an extra skirt.

Do you like it, Raggedy Ann?

[ Chuckles ]
Good.

Come on over here with me.

Some grown-ups had dolls, too,

when they were little.

Some of them made
their own clothes,

and sometimes made their own
doll when they were little.

You know, some children
who have play dolls like to play

that the dolls
are bad babies, mm-hmm.

And then they like to play

that they're
the cross mommy or daddy

to the bad baby, mm-hmm.

And they just treat them
as if they were a very bad baby.

Mm-hmm.

But then, sometimes,
they like to play

as if the baby were
a very good baby,

and then they aren't
the cross mommy or daddy,

but the very tender
mommy or daddy.

Yeah.

It's all the way you feel,
though,

the way you play, isn't it?

Mm-hmm.
[ Knock on door ]

There's somebody at the door.
Let's go see who it is.

[ Knocking continues ]

Hi. How are you,
Betty Aberlin?
Hi, Mr. Rogers.

I'm fine.
Oh.

Raggedy Ann.
Almost a Raggedy Ann.

Oh, you have a doll
without a face.

But I want
to make a face.

Do you have a flow pen
I could borrow?

Oh, I think I do.
Yes.

Come on in.
Thank you.

You know Betty Aberlin,
ladies and gentlemen.

Sit there.
I'll get you a flow pen.
Thank you.

Here's one.

Great.

Mine was already made,
but I made the skirt

out of paper.
Well, let's at least
introduce them.

Raggedy Ann.
Alice Ann.

Hello, Alice Ann.

They have
the same middle name.
Mm-hmm.

There.
Oh, thank you.

I'm making this
for Uncle Friday.

Oh, does your Uncle Friday
play with dolls?

Well, he's been feeling
kind of unhappy lately.

I think it must be
the weather or something.

Hmm.

There's one eye.

You're gonna give him
something soft

to make him feel good.
Something
he can hold, yes.

There's another eye,

some eyelashes.

♪♪

Did you play with dolls
when you were a little girl?

Yes, I did.

I think she ought to have
a big smile

because he's feeling
so unhappy.

And...

Alice Ann.
...Alice Ann.

Hi, Alice Ann.

I like her better
with a face.

Oh, so do I.

I'm also bringing him
some cup custard.

Oh, that's one
of his favorites.

I know, and I met
Dr. Marshall outside...

Thank you so much.
Mm-hmm.

...and he said that he was
going to visit him today.

Oh, that will
help Uncle Friday.

I think so.

Well, thanks, awfully.

Oh, thank you
for coming by.

[ High-pitched ]
I'm going to see her uncle.

Oh, good, Alice Ann.
Yes.

I'm sure you'll be
a help to King Friday.

I hope so.
Yep.

Good-bye, Alice Ann.

Bye, Raggedy Ann.

Have a good time
in Make-Believe.

Thank you!

Good-bye, Mr. Rogers.

Thank you
for the flow pen.

We'll watch you as you go

Goodbye.
Bye-bye.

Neighbors, good neighbors.

Alright, Raggedy, we are going
to look right in here.

Maybe you'd like to look and see

if it's time for
the trolley to come.

Would you?

That is Daniel's clock...
ticking and tocking.

He's a tame tiger.

There's the fountain
where the Froggs live,

and the Museum-Go-Round...

...and that's X the Owl's tree,

and Henrietta Pussycat's house,

and there's
Cornflake S. Pecially's factory,

and there's the trolley.

Hi, Trolley.

This is Raggedy Ann

Why, hello there,
Dr. Marshall.
Hi, Corney.

How are you?
Fine.

Good.
I just stopped by
to see how you were doing

with your
new equipment and all.

Oh, I like it
just fine.

It's, uh, sort of hard
to get used to new things

at first, you know,

but now I like it all
just fine.

Well, I know you
had a pretty rough
time for a while,

getting all
the equipment in and all.

Are you turning out
rocking chairs now?

Is everything
going okay?

Oh, yes, sir.

Some of these new machines
I have in here

are even better
than the old ones.

Do you like them
even better than the old?

Yeah, I thought
I'd never find

anything better
than my old ones,

but these
sure surprised me.

Oh, that's great, Corney.
I'm really happy for you.

It sure helped me
to talk about

the hard time I had,
though, Dr. Marshall.

Well, it does help to
talk about things now
and then, doesn't it?

Yes, it surely does,

and you find out
how much your neighbors

care about you, too.

Oh, but I'm sure
that you're

a pretty good neighbor,
yourself, Corney.

Well, it's a little hard
to be a good neighbor

to, uh, King Friday.

He seems too busy
all the time.

Well,
he is very busy,

and I'm sure it's
a very busy job
being a king...
Yeah.

...but I suspect he's
not too busy for a friend.

Good.

Well, I'll just make him
a little something, then,

and, uh, take it over
someday soon.

Why, Dr. Marshall,
what a pleasant surprise.

Hello, Mrs. Frogg.

May I ask you
a professional question?

Sure.

Well, I'm worried
about my son, doctor.

You mean Tad?

Yes,
dear little Tad.

He talks so much
of wanting to grow up

to be a big frog.

Should he think about that
so much, doctor?

Can you tell
that he's growing?

Oh, yes.

He's getting to be
just like his father.

Well, how does that
make you feel, Mrs. Frogg?

Dear little Tad,

growing up so quickly.

But that's what
he wants, isn't it?

Oh, yes.

I guess so.

You must have given him
a lot of good food

and a lot of good care
if he's growing up so well.

I've never thought
of it that way, dear.

Oh, it takes
a lot of good mothering

to help a child
grow up so well.

Why, yes,
so it does.

Such a big boy,
that Tad of ours.

Well, I must go tend
to the museum, dear.

It's always a pleasure
when you stop by.

Oh, I'm very fond of your
neighborhood, Mrs. Frogg.

Come into the museum
some time, dear.

You're always welcome,

I think he's looking
for some company.

Oh, good. I'm on my way

Oh, I'm sure
he'll like that.

Does he still seem
so unhappy?

Well, it's a pretty
lonely being, being
a king, I'm afraid,

you know,
