[THEME MUSIC]

-[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 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?

[SPEAKING VOICE] Hi, neighbor.

I'm glad we're together again.

See the flashlight I brought?

You ever use a flashlight?

Flashlights are better
in darker places.

Why don't we make this
room a little darker?

by closing that curtain and
pulling down these blinds?

I guess we'll need
to turn off Picture

Picture, make it
a little darker.

There.

And the traffic light, it's off.

Well, maybe I'll just
pull out the sofa bed.

We'll pretend that it's night.

Our visits are usually
in the daytime,

so we don't think about
the nighttime that much.

There's a pillow
in here, I believe.

Yep.

Oh, I have to take these off.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

-Oh.

Oh.

Hello?

Pardon me?

Oh no, I think-- I
think you probably

want a different number.

Yes.

Oh, certainly.

Bye bye.

Do you ever just sit in
bed and think about things

and look around the room?

Rooms at night often look
different from the way

they look in the daytime.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

-Oh, there's
somebody at the door.

Let's see who that is.

Oh, it's Mr. McFeely.

I wonder what he'll
think when he sees this--

-Speedy delivery.

Speedy delivery.

Well, here are the
cassettes you ordered.

Wh-- It's dark in here.

-Yes.

We're pretending that it's
nighttime in this room.

That's why I have this.

-Oh, pretending it's nighttime.

Well, that must be why you
wanted these cassettes.

Now I've heard this one, but
I'd like to see that one.

-Oh, good.

This is the one-- Oh, yes.

"How People Make Flashlights."

-"How People Make Flashlights."

Are you going to show it today?

-Well, if you can stay,
we'll show it right now.

-I certainly can.

I've always wanted to see
"How People Make Flashlights."

-Good.

Come along.

-Oh.

-Watch your step here.

-All righty.

Whoop.

Now I see you've pulled
out your sofabed.

-Sure.

That's part of the pretend.

-Part of the pretend.

-You know, when I
was a little boy,

I used to be afraid
that there was

something underneath my bed.

-Well, that could
have been very scary.

-Well, it certainly was.

-Would you like to
see under this one?

-Sure.

-All right.

I'll just flash the
flashlight under here.

-All righty.

There.

-See?

You can see it's just
a rug under there.

-You know, that's the way I used
to check, with my flashlight.

And as I grew, I
learned that there

was nothing scary under my bed.

And that certainly
was a good feeling.

-Well, it takes a lot of
growing to come to that.

-And a lot of flashlights.

-Yes.

-[LAUGHS]

-All right.

Let's just look at this one now.

-All righty.

-"How People Make Flashlights."

Oh, first I have to turn
Picture Picture back on.

-Uh huh.

There it is.

-Yeah.

Van Gogh.

All right. "How People
Make Flashlights".

And we'll watch it together.

-All righty.

MR. ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]: When
people make flashlights,

they begin with a
long ribbon of steel.

You see it there?

MR. MCFEELY
[OFFSCREEN]: Oh, yes.

MR. ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]:
They put it

into a machine that presses
it into the shape of a cup.

That's what that
machine's doing.

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
There they go.

But they don't look very
much like flashlights.

MR. ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]: Not yet.

Each cup has to be
shaped again and again.

And each time these machines
press these steel cups,

they get longer and longer.

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
Oh, they do look longer.

MR. ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]: Mm hmm.

And soon they'll have their
final flashlight shape.

Just watch and see.

See that?

MR. MCFEELY
[OFFSCREEN]: Oh, yes.

MR. ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]: Mm hmm.

And each one of
those began as part

of that long ribbon of
steel, and now they're

the shape of flashlights.

This person examines
each one to be

sure the machine is
working properly.

He's using a special gauge
to measure the shape.

See, machines can't do
anything without people.

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]: Now
what's this person doing?

MR. ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]:
She's using a machine

to make a hole in the back
of the flashlight case.

And this is where the
batteries will go.

Now it's time to make thin
grooves all around the case.

See that?

MR. MCFEELY
[OFFSCREEN]: Oh, yes.

MR. ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]:
This keeps the flashlight

from slipping when you
hold it in your hand.

All those flashlight cases.

Now this person is
assembling the switch

that turns the
flashlight on and off.

And the front part of the
flashlight is assembled next.

The shiny part is
called the reflector.

And it's attached
to a metal circle

that holds it just right.

MR. MCFEELY
[OFFSCREEN]: Oh, look.

There's the bulb.

MR. ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]: Mm hmm.

And into the reflector
the bulb will go.

See the bulbs in the reflectors?

Look at them all there.

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
Getting ready to be

part of a flashlight.

MR. ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]: Mm hmm.

Now the workers test each
flashlight with batteries

to be sure that they do work.

Then they take out the batteries
and send the flashlight

on its way to have
the last part put on.

There they go on the
assembly line there.

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
A lot of flashlights.

MR. ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]: Mm hmm.

And the last part is the back.

Now the packing.

Each flashlight is
put in its own box,

and each box is put
into a bigger box

and sent off to stores
where people can buy them.

-Well, I enjoyed that.

-Of course, there are
many different kinds

of flashlights,
different models.

But I guess they're all
made pretty much the same.

-Oh, do you want me to
return that the library?

-Would you, please?

-And I'll leave
this film with you.

-Oh, good.

This is "Sounds of the Night".

I'll play this later.

-All righty.

Well, I have more
deliveries to make.

So right now I'll just say
speedy delivery to you.

-And follow the light.

-Follow the light
right out the door.

In fact, I'll say speedy
delivery and good night.

-Oh, good night, Mr. McFeely.

-Bye bye.

-Bye.

-We'll just have
some make-believe.

In fact, I'll show
you the controls

right here for the trolley.

[TROLLEY CHIMING]

[WHISTLE BLOWING]

-Trolley.

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

[TROLLEY CHIMES]

-Let's pretend that it's almost
nighttime in the Neighborhood

of Make-Believe.

Trolley could have a
flashlight right on top of it.

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

-Let's see how that works.

[TROLLEY CHIMING]

[WHISTLE BLOWING]

-Yeah, we can make-believe that.

And King Friday
and Handyman Negri

could be playing some almost
nighttime music together

at the castle garden.

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

-Ready for some make-believe?

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

[TROLLEY CHIMING]

-All right, Trolley,
Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

[WHISTLE BLOWING]

[TROLLEY CHIMING]

[PLAYING GUITAR]

-I believe our music has reached
new heights, Handyman Negri.

-I agree, King Friday.

We seem to get better every day.

-And every night.

-It is a beautiful
night, isn't it?

-It certainly is.

And I appreciate
your faithfulness

to our royal enterprise.

-Always at your
handy service, sire.

-Oh, yes.

-Oh.

-Oh.

-Good evening.

-Good evening.

-The Lady Aberlin, I presume?

-Correct, as usual,
Uncle Friday.

-King Friday and I were just
playing some night duets.

MR. ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]: Ooh,
I love to hear music at night.

-Well, then--

-But I also love to have
my flashlight working.

-[DISAPPOINTEDLY] Oh.

-Oh.

Can I help you with it?

-It won't turn on.

-Hmm.

Well, there are no
batteries in it.

-[CHUCKLES] I know.

I wondered if you had some.

-Wh-- what size does it need?

-C.

-I think I have some
in my handy shop.

I'll go get them, and
I'll be right back.

-Uh, you are excused, Handyman,
for fetching batteries.

-How, how many does it take?

-Two.

-Two.

Coming right up.

-Uh, your thoughts about the
nighttime, Niece Aberlin?

-I love the nighttime.

I love to look at the
stars and the moon

and think about all the
people I know and love

and make up stories about all
kinds of wonderful things.

-You are an extraordinary
person, Niece Aberlin.

-Here there are.

-Oh, Handyman Negri, I presume?

-Yes, sire.

Correct, as usual, King Friday.

-You may proceed.

Oh, yes.

-Oh, thank you very much, Handy.

-You're welcome.

The insides of things are
mighty important, aren't they?

-They surely are.

X THE OWL [OFFSCREEN]:
Oh, Lady Aberlina?

Oh, Lady Aberlina?

-That's X the Owl
calling me, isn't it?

-It sounds like him.

X THE OWL [OFFSCREEN]:
Oh, Lady Aberlina,

please come over here.

-That is he.

I'd better go.

-Uh, you are excused, niece.

-Thank you, Uncle Friday.

And thank you,
Handy, for your help.

-[CHUCKLES] You're welcome.

-Yes.

Well, you certainly
did that in fine--

-What is it, Owl?

-Oh, I'm really disturbed.

I'm just as disturbed as can be.

-Why is that?

-Well, just come on inside
my tree, and I'll show you.

-Well, I think this knot
hole is a little too

small for me to get in.

-Well, there's a bigger
door for creatures

your size around the back.

Now just come on in here,
and I'll meet you inside.

I tell you, I'm
really disturbed.

-I wonder what's
bothering him so much.

I'll just go inside
and try to find out.

-I don't know why you
had to call her over.

-I told you I'm
really disturbed.

-Oh, honestly, X,
you're something else.

-Well, I'm just who I am.

That's who I am.

-Oh, this is nice in here.

Lady Elaine, I didn't
expect to find you here.

-A night for surprises.

-That's just it.

But I tell you, that's just it.

-What's just it, X?

-Surprises.

I don't like some
kinds of surprises.

-Well, now that we're
in here, maybe you

can tell me what's
disturbing you.

-I'm disturbed with Lady Elaine.

-Lady Elaine?

-You heard him.

-In fact, I'm more than
disturbed with her.

I'm angry with her.

-Can either one of you tell me?

-Oh, it's really nothing.

-It's more than
nothing, Lady Elaine.

-OK, X, have it your way.

-Well, it's my tree.

-I didn't know
you were so fussy.

-Anyway, you scared me.

-I didn't mean to.

-Well, you did.

And she should have done
it, should she, Lady A?

-Can you tell me what happened?

-I was sitting on my perch
getting ready to go to sleep,

and all of a sudden
I saw this flash

of light coming into my room.

And there she was,
barging right into where

I was about to go to sleep.

-You came into X's
tree, Lady Elaine?

-I've been in here before.

-But before I knew
you were coming.

-I just wanted some company.

-But you could have
called on to telecan

to ask if it was
all right to come.

-Oh, I just thought
it was all right.

-You mean you didn't
knock on his door?

-[QUIETLY] I forgot.

-Well, don't ever forget again,
because you really scared me.

And you made me angry.

-I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

And anyway, there
are falling stars.

-Falling stars?

-Yes.

I just found out about them.

They fall all the time.

-They're not going to
fall here, are they?

-Never can tell.

-I don't think a real
star would fall here.

[TELECAN RINGING]

-Oh, would you answer
that telecan, Lady A?

-Certainly.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Daniel.

Yes.

I'll come over as soon as I can.

We're talking about
some important things

here right now,
but I'll be over.

I will.

See you soon.

-So?

-That was Daniel.

He sends his
nighttime greetings.

-Does he want to
talk with you too?

-Yes.

Any idea why?

-I did mention falling
stars to him too,

but I doubt that
that would be it.

[CHUCKLES]

-We'll deal with that
later, Lady Elaine.

Right now I need to tell you
something quite directly.

-What is it, toots?

-This is X's tree.

This is where he lives.

This is where he sleeps.

And anybody who
comes into this tree

needs to tell X
that they're coming.

Do you understand that?

-You mean that
you're not supposed

to walk into somebody's
private place

and flash your flashlight
around and scare them and say,

yoo-hoo, I'm here?

Is that what you mean?

-That's what I mean.

-I think that's pretty clear.

-And you won't do it again?

-I'll try not to.

I'm sorry I scared you, X.

-That fallen star stuff
is pretty scary in itself.

-I think so too.

-I'm going to find
out more about

that before
everybody gets upset.

-And disturbed.

-And angry.

-Right.

-Thanks for coming
over, Lady Aberlin.

You sure know how to
help people and birds.

-I hope I can help Daniel Tiger.

-If I scared him,
tell him I'm sorry.

Looks like this is my night
for saying sorry, sorry, sorry.

-We all make
mistakes, Lady Elaine.

-Well, next time I sure will
remember to knock on this tree.

-And if I'm here, I'll
probably invite you to come in.

[CHUCKLES]

-Thanks, toots.

-See you tomorrow.

-OK, then.

-Good night, Lady Aberlin.

-Good night.

[SIGHS]

-Oh, I hope that one
isn't going to fall.

Or that one.

[WORRIEDLY] Oh.

-Good evening, Daniel.

-Oh, thank you for coming.

-Was something troubling you?

-I didn't know that stars
would fall from way up there.

-I've never known a star
to fall here, Daniel.

-But Lady Elaine
said that they do,

and they might, and they could.

I just don't want one
to fall on my clock

and, and make my
clock fall over.

And what, what if the
moon should fall too?

I mean, the moon's so big and--

-Daniel, the moon is
not going to fall.

-Oh.

-And a star is not going to
make your clock fall over.

-But Lady Elaine--

-I think that Lady
Elaine was just

having some scary
thoughts herself.

And she was just scaring
everybody else with them.

-You, you mean I'm
safe here tonight?

-Yes.

I think you're very
safe here tonight.

In fact, I'd be glad
to stay here with you

until you go to sleep,
if you'd like me to.

-Oh, I would like you to.

Oh, look, there's
Handy coming over.

-Oh, maybe he'll
play you a lullaby.

-Hi.

-Hi, Andy.

-Hi, Andy.

-King Friday wanted
me to check to see

that everything was all right.

-I think people are starting to
settle down now for the night.

-And the stars aren't going
to fall out of the sky.

And the moon isn't either.

-That's right, Daniel.

-And my clock's not going fall.

-No.

Did you think it might?

-Until I talked about
it with Lady Aberlin.

-It helps to talk about things
that you're wondering about,

doesn't it?

-Especially with
people you like.

I'm glad to have neighbors
like you, in the daytime

and in the nighttime.

[CHUCKLES]

-Would you give Daniel a
lullaby while I go and check

on some things at the castle?

-Of course.

In fact, I'll stay with,
Daniel, until you go to sleep,

if you like.

-Oh, I would.

I like both of you so much.

-And you know we like you.

-Oh.

-Oh, we surely do.

-Oh, thanks.

[PLAYING GUITAR]

-I'll be back.

-OK.

Thanks.

[TROLLEY CHIMING]

-Oh, yes, Trolley.

Sometimes it does take
a while to go to sleep.

[TROLLEY CHIMING]

-Good night.

[TROLLEY CHIMING]

[WHISTLE BLOWING]

-Sometimes Lady Elaine
Fairchilde upsets people.

I can understand why X the Owl
wanted her to knock on his tree

before coming in.

Can't you?

When people are in their own
rooms, they like to be private,

and they like to be told if
other people want to come in.

In fact, it's very
important to tell people

if you're going
to come and visit.

Let's get some light in here.

Turn on the traffic light.

There.

Better fold up the bed.

Make it be a sofa again.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

-Well, there's the phone.

Hello?

Well, yes.

Ah ha.

Well, ye-- Why, certainly.

Oh, Tatiana.

Yes.

Well--

Hello?

Is this the interpreter?

Oh, thank you very much.

This week.

Very good.

Well, well, we're certainly
looking forward to seeing you.

All right.

Dosvedanya.

Bye.

Now that was someone
who lives far away

from this neighborhood, and
she makes television programs

for children in her country the
way I make them for you here.

So she's going to
come and visit us

right in this place
sometime this week.

She's from very far
away, and, oh, I'll

be so glad for you to meet her.

Well, that's good news.

Oh, first of all I need these.

And I'll put this away.

Oh, that really pleases me.

I'll be able to tell you more
about-- Oh, here's this table.

We've certainly moved things
around a lot today, haven't we?

I like to be able to have
television visits with you.

There are many things
that people wonder about

in this world, and I
like to be able to talk

with you about those things.

It gives me a
really 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.

[SPEAKING VOICE]
When you're curious

about the people and
the world around you,

that is one fine
way of learning.

It's good to be curious.

It's also good to know that
everybody wants some time

alone, some private
time once in a while.

Everybody has some
things that they just

don't want to share in the
daytime or the nighttime.

I just remembered something,
the other cassette

that Mr. McFeely brought.

I'll play this for
you another time.

Because I'll be back
another time, the next time.

Bye bye.

You always make it a
special day for me.

You know how?

By just your being yourself.

That's right.

People can like you just the way
you are, daytime and nighttime.

Bye bye.
