[bunniefuu]

-{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?

Hi, neighbor.

Did you see those two
things that I had in my hand

when I was coming in?

Know what they are?

Models of dinosaurs.

Do you ever play with dinosaurs?

You know, dinosaurs lived a
long, long, long time ago.

Long before any people
were in the world.

They were very, very,
very big creatures.

Think I'll just build
a little something here

with those blocks.

Do you ever build
houses with blocks?

Pretend that's a house.

And the dinosaurs are
bigger than houses.

Mm-hm

I wonder what they ate?

They must have eaten a
lot, they were so big.

Of course, there were many
different kinds of dinosaurs.

And they aren't living
anymore on the world.

No.

No more on the Earth.

It's fine to wonder about them.

There are lots of things to
wonder about in this world.

[SINGING] Did you
know, did you know,

did you know that it's
all right to wonder?

Did you know that's it's
all right to wonder?

There are all kinds
of wonderful things.

Did you know, did
you know, did you

know that it's all
right to marvel?

Did you know that it's
all right to marvel?

There are all kinds
of marvelous things.

You can ask a lot of questions
about the world and your place

in it.

You can ask about
people's feelings.

You can learn the
sky's the limit.

Did you know?

Did you know?

Did you know when you
wonder you're learning?

Did you know when you marvel
you're learning about all kinds

of wonderful, all kinds
of marvelous, marvelously

wonderful things?

I wonder if they ever had races.

Or if they ever played.

[KNOCKING]

Come in.

Chef Brockett.

-Fred, I wanted to
show you something new.

-What is it?

-It's a veggie treat.

See, it's the face of a clown.

And it's all made out
of fresh vegetables.

These are beets and cucumbers.

Mushrooms.

Carrots.

Pepper.

Look at the beans
around the eye.

You can eat all these
fresh vegetables.

-What a treat that is.

Is that cake underneath?

-No, that's cream cheese.

Everything here is
really good for you.

-And you're making
them at the bakery.

-That's right.

Come by sometime and I'll
show you how to make them.

-I'd like to do that.

-Yeah.

What are you doing?

-Oh, we've been talking about
dinosaurs and things like that.

-Ah.

When I was little I
used to wish I could

be as big and strong
as a dinosaur.

I even used to dream about it.

-I think a lot of people do.

-OK.

Come on down, I'll
show you how to make--

I'll even make one
for you, all right?

-Sometime later this week.

-OK.

I'll see you.

-Thank you.

Veggie treat.

Why don't we have a make-believe
treat right now, all right?

Chef Brockett has
such good ideas.

OK, trolley.

Now, yesterday, we pretended
that Lady Elaine was going

to have Purple Panda do
something in a costume.

Let's think more
about that today.

Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

-Oh, it's really great.

You're just looking wonderful.

Ooh, just perfect.

That's good now try moving
your arms up and down.

Up and down.

Oh, beautiful.

Why, people will think
you're a real dinosaur.

Now, you must not let anyone
see you until the time is right.

-How will I know when the
time is right, Lady Elaine?

-I will tell you, dear.

You can count on me.

-I don't know if I want
to be a dinosaur or not.

-It'll be just for a
little while, dear.

-Lady Elaine, are you there?

-Run along, dear.

I'll see you later.

Uh, I'm right here, dear.

Right here.

-If I wanted to, I could
take my super funnel

and knock down
this whole museum.

-And then what would happen?

-I'd take my super funnel and
build it right back up again.

-You think you're
pretty super, don't you

-I can do anything
really strong.

My super funnel's
better than anything.

-You think it's better than my
boomerang-toomerang-zoomerang,

don't you?

-Well, it's just as good.

I think.

-I suppose you think you
could even tame a dinosaur.

-There aren't any
dinosaurs anymore.

Are there?

-I'm not talking.

-Are there, Lady Aberlin?

-Are there what?

-Are there any dinosaurs
in the world anymore?

-No.

There used to be,
but not anymore.

Why?

Did somebody say there were?

-Uh, anything's possible
in Make-Believe.

Toot-toot.

-Auntie Lady Elaine's
always teasing me.

-Why do you think she is now?

-I don't know.

I just told her I could
knock down her museum

with my super funnel
if I wanted to.

Super funnel!

Super funnel!

Super Tuesday's super funnel!

-Now, you have to
remember, Anna,

that only birds and bats
and bugs can really fly.

-But my super skirt.

-Well, your super
skirt is very nice.

But it's just pretend, you know.

-I know.

But how did you learn to fly?

-Oh, well, I just practiced
and made my wings go like this.

-And then what?

-And then I just did
it harder and harder.

And then, little by
little, I learned.

Careful, Anna.

I don't want you to, uh--

-I think I'm flying.

I am.

I'm flying.

-No, you're falling!

-What is going on here?

-Oh, Anna was trying to fly.

-I was using my super skirt,
and I was going through the air.

-Yes, but you were going down.

And you might have gotten hurt.

-That's right, Anna.

-You have to be really
careful with super things.

-Well, everybody was
doing super things.

I just wanted to try.

-Yes, but it's important
to do your pretending

where it's safe.

-Yeah.

I think that's enough
about flying for today.

Now, Anna, you
promised that you'd

show me how to walk better.

You know, birds
don't walk very well.

And platypuses do.

-Oh, yes.

I can walk real well.

Come on, I'll show you.

But since you're
a bird you might

not be able to learn right away.

-That's right.

We all have certain things
we can do better than others.

-Lady Aberlin, come
here right away, please.

Lady Aberlin, come over here.

-I'm gonna see Daniel.

You both be careful.

People love you and don't
want you to get hurt.

-OK.

-OK.

-Oh, please come right away.

And hurry, Lady Aberlin.

-Why did you want me in
such a hurry, Daniel?

-Oh, look over there.

-Where?

-Over behind the museum?

-I don't see anything.

-Oh, I was sure
I saw a dinosaur.

-There aren't any
dinosaurs anymore, Daniel.

-I know.

Everybody says that.

But I really thought I saw
one going behind the museum

over toward the trolley track.

[WHISTLING]

-We know who that is dressed
up to look like a dinosaur,

don't we?

You don't need to
have a fancy costume

like that to dress
up as a dinosaur.

No, I remember
borrowing my father's

coat when I was a little boy.

Like this.

And I would just
put it over my head.

Pretend I was a dinosaur.

I think I'll go to the kitchen.

The funnel made it go away.

In fact, I have something
I'd like to do with this.

Remember yesterday I poured that
orange juice for Mr. McFeely?

I'm gonna do some
more right now.

What I'll do is pour orange
juice into this bottle.

And when it comes
right out up to there--

when the orange juice gets
up to the top of that block--

then we'll just call
out, top of the block!

OK?

Not yet.

Almost.

Top of the block?

Yeah, top of the block.

Of course, that's really
was a real funnel is for.

Yeah.

When there's
something very narrow

up there, to be able
to pour like that.

Better put it back in.

We don't waste food or
orange juice in this place.

No sir.

Back in the fridge.

How about some
food for the fish?

Yeah, you don't want
orange juice, do you, fish?

You want just a
little fish food.

There.

You know, you could
even pretend that you

have a super coat
or a super skirt.

But the important thing
about that kind of play

is to be careful.

Even when you're
playing dinosaur.

You know, there's some
places-- some museums-- that

have dinosaur bones put
together like great big models.

And I'd like to show you
one in our neighborhood.

In our real museum.

Come with me, will you?

To our neighborhood museum.

Dr. Dawson.

-Oh.

Hello, Mr. Rogers.

-How are you today?

-I'm fine.

How are you?

-Good, thanks.

I came to see the
dinosaur place.

I wondered if you
could show me the way.

-Well, I'll not only
show you the way,

but I'll take you up there.

Let's go right up this way.

-Oh, good.

I've wanted to see this
place for a long time.

-Now this is dinosaur hall.

-Oh, my.

They're such big--

-The animals-- yes, they are.

The animals shown here lived
between about 70 million years

ago and 200 million years ago.

-Oh.

They're enormous.

You know, I've seen models
of them and pictures of them.

-Yes, they are enormous.

They were really
the largest land

animals that have ever lived.

-These are their
bones, aren't they?

-These are only their bones.

You have to restore in your
own mind the muscle, the flesh,

and try and get a
picture of what they

looked like from
the skeletons here.

-But look, this is just the
bottom of one of their legs.

-Yes, that's the lower part
of the front leg, or the arm.

-And look here.

This claw is about-- my whole
hand would fit on that claw.

-It was a tremendous foot.

Really a tremendous-sized thing.

-Well, what would
these creatures eat?

-Well, the animal that you're
standing next to ate plants.

-Plants.

-Probably a very
peaceful animal.

But it had to spend
a lot of its time

eating in order to keep
that huge bulk sustained.

-I guess so.

Did they fight, these animals?

-Well, it's hard to tell.

These animals are extinct.

We don't have anything
like it living today.

But I imagine that a lot
of the things that they did

are similar to things
that animals do today.

They probably did fight.

They probably did
have competition,

like the animals of today.

-And they had
mothers and fathers.

-Yes, they certainly did.

We don't know very much
about young dinosaurs,

but there are a
few fossils showing

what young dinosaurs
looked like.

-Were they all this big?

-No.

No, indeed.

Some dinosaurs were very small.

This is our friend,
protoceratops,

who was certainly
a small dinosaur.

-You mean this is a
full-grown dinosaur?

-That is a full-grown,
adult dinosaur.

Yes.

It never reached any
larger size than that.

-So it would have been running
around at the same time

as these huge ones?

-That's right.

Some of the dinosaurs living
at that time were tremendous.

But this was a fully adult,
perfectly full-blown dinosaur.

-Well, what are these?

-Well, those are dinosaur eggs.

Those are the eggs of this
same dinosaur, protoceratops.

-So you mean dinosaurs laid
eggs like chickens or birds?

-That's right.

That's right.

They did.

At least, some of them did.

We have certain-- we
have eggs like this,

we have some larger
ones that probably

belonged to the
larger dinosaurs.

But we don't know that
all dinosaurs laid eggs.

But we certainly know
that some of them did.

-So they're not
mammals like people.

-No, they're not mammals.

They're reptiles.

And when you think of
dinosaurs you should think

of their relatives the
alligators, or of turtles,

lizards-- things of that sort.

That's closer to what
a dinosaur would be.

Now, you think that
that's a small dinosaur.

I think you should look at
these dinosaurs over here, too.

These are what we could say
were medium-sized dinosaurs.

This one, for example,
is a nice skeleton

of an animal called dryosaurus.

-Well, dryosaurus
looks as if it's

just kind of standing
up like this.

-That's very-- that's
exactly what it's doing.

Just exactly what
dryosaurus is doing.

-Well, now, what about this?

-Well, that's a
restoration of what

dryosaurus may have looked like.

Now, you have to be careful
when you look at restorations,

because you know that no person
ever saw a dinosaur alive.

Dinosaurs became extinct
about 70 million years ago.

And the first people
didn't come on the scene

until less than one
million years ago.

But an artist who
looked at the skeleton

and then looked
at living reptiles

thought that may be what
dryosaurus was like.

But we can think of
other things, too.

For example, some
living reptiles are red.

So why couldn't
dryosaurus be red?

Some have fringes on their neck
and on the back of the head,

so why couldn't dryosaurus
have things like that?

It's entirely in the
imagination of the artist

to restore what dryosaurus or
any other dinosaur looked like.

It could even be spotted or--

Spotted, yes.

Yes, indeed.

-Oh, it's fun to think
about what they might--

-It is, isn't it?

It really is.

-Oh, what is this?

-Well, that is a
large carnivorous

dinosaur called allosaurus.

And allosaurus--

-Look at his teeth.

- --was a meat-eater,
probably a very active animal.

He would grasp the
animals that he

was eating with the
heavy jaws and teeth.

And probably he used
his rather small arms

for holding onto the prey
as he was eating them.

-These are the arms
and the fingers, huh?

-Yes.

Those are the fingers there with
the large claws on the tips.

-Were you interested
in dinosaurs

when you were a little girl?

-Yes, I certainly was.

I was interested not
only in dinosaurs

but also in other kinds of
animals that were extinct.

I think it's so interesting
to try and find out

how animals got
the way they are.

And of course you
find out how they

got the way they are by studying
how these animals lived.

That's what makes
them very interesting.

-Make up their history.

-Yes.

That's right.

Make up their-- it
certainly is pre-history.

-Thanks for helping us with
our history, Dr. Dawson.

-You're welcome.

I'm glad you were able to come.

-I'm certainly glad myself.

See you soon.

-Yes.

-Bye-bye.

Hi, Mr. McFeely.

-Good day, Mr. Rogers.

-Good day to you.

I've just come from
Carnegie Museum.

-That's a great place.

-It certainly is.

Why don't you come in?

-Well, I have a minute or so.

-Good.

-I just stopped by to find out
about our plans for tomorrow.

-Oh.

I think we'll go near the
end of our TV visit tomorrow.

-Oh, fine.

I just wanted to make sure.

My camera's all set.

I showed you at
the workshop, but I

don't think I explained
how it works to you.

-No.

How is it that you
can take the pictures

and also see them in here?

-Well, you can see them in
here by pressing that button.

And then when you want
to take the pictures

you press another
button on this side

and point it at what
you want to take.

And just take the picture.

You see?

And it records in
this box right there.

-Oh, it sure seems like magic.

-But it's not magic.

-No, it's not.

Mr. McFeely, when you
were a little boy,

did you ever pretend that
you were super strong?

-Why, yes I did.

When I was about
five years old I

pretended I was the
strongest horse in the world.

-Strongest what?

-Horse.

-Horse.

-Right.

And there was this little bunny
rabbit-- it was very soft,

something like
this pillow-- that

would follow me everywhere.

And I was that strong
horse that took care

of that soft little
bunny rabbit.

And I made up a lot
of stories about that.

Incredible stories.

-And the rabbit
was pretend, too?

-The rabbit was pretend, too.

-I wonder if that
didn't help you,

as you became a father
and a grandfather,

to remember those
stories that you made up.

-You know something?

I think it did.

-I bet it did.

-Oh, and my grandchildren--
I show them something.

It's a pretend handshake.

I can show your
television neighbors.

-Please do.

-If you want to, you
can hold your hand

straight up like this.

This is a pretend handshake.

And say hello by
moving your hand

up and down, like a handshake.

Or hold up the other hand, too.

Double handshake.

Double pretend handshake.

And go, speedy delivery,
speedy delivery-- very fast.

Or very, very slowly.

You see?

Fast or slow, fast or slow.

-Dinosaurs probably
went very slowly,

because there were so big.

-Well, a long time ago.

-Yeah.

You'll be seeing some
incredible things tomorrow.

-That's right.

That was a pretend handshake.

This is a real handshake.

And I'll see you
tomorrow, actually.

-That's right.

-I'm looking forward to it.

See you tomorrow, Mr. Rogers.

Speedy delivery to you.

-Speedy delivery to
you, Mr. McFeely.

Thanks.

Bye-bye.

-Bye-bye.

You're welcome.

-Fast.

And slow.

Take one of these
dinosaurs-- the dinosaurs

take these blocks.

So we better put
these blocks away.

Another good thing
about blocks, you

can just make
anything with them.

Build.

Building, building.

Do you put your toys away
when you've finished playing?

Sometimes I remember.

I'll wash those things later.

See you tomorrow, fish.

Yep.

Lots of plans tomorrow.

[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 we're friends.

I hope that you're able to talk
with the people who love you

about the important
things in life.

It's so very important.

Chef Brockett!

-Hey, Fred.

I delivered the other
veggie treat I showed,

so I made this one for you.

-For me?

-Yeah.

-You're a thoughtful man.

-Brockett's broccoli.

Radishes.

Tomatoes.

Carrots.

You can dip them in these pools.

-Like two round pools.

Mm-hm.

-All fresh vegetables.

-With broccoli
trees, aren't they?

-That's right, yeah.

-And these are flowers?

-Right.

And this is grass.

It's made out of parsley.

That's how I make the grass.

-I like your veggie treat.

I'll just take this home.

I'll walk with you.

-Fine.

-Be back tomorrow.
