[MUSIC PLAYING]

-[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 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.

Do you see this yo-yo?

That's what it's
called, a yo-yo.

Down and up.

Down and up.

Some people make these
yo-yos go wonderfully.

Very fancy.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Oh.

Let's see who that
is on the phone.

OK.

Hello?

Oh, yes.

How are you, Mr. McFeely?

Oh, good.

You found it?

Fine.

Well, whenever you can.

Yeah.

I appreciate it.

Thanks very much.

Oh, just playing with
a yo-yo at the moment.

Yeah.

All right.

See you later.

Bye-bye.

I've been thinking about people
who work at night, because, you

know, some jobs have to
get done in the nighttime.

So while many of us
are asleep, there

are a lot of people
who are up working.

Well, I was talking with
Mr. McFeely about that.

And he said that the library
has a videotape of people doing

different things at
night, different jobs.

So he was looking for
that, and he found it.

So he'll bring that
over in a little bit.

MALE VOICE: Hey, Fred!

-Who's that?

Somebody outside.

Oh, it's Bob Trow.

Come on out.

Hey, Bob.

-Fred, guess who I
brought to see you.

-Are you Tom Parks?

-I'm Tom Parks, and I'm
very happy to see you.

-Oh, I'm glad to meet you.

I want-- I didn't know that you
all would have a chance to come

by here, but Tom Parks
is one of the finest

yo-yo artists in the world.

And I was showing
my friends this.

-Well, you started very well.

First you have a slip
knot for your loop.

-Yeah.

-And second, you make sure that
it goes on your middle finger.

You tighten it, and then the
string should be waist height.

Now, the first thing you
do is drop the yo-yo down.

Have it come up,
and keep it going.

-That I can do.

-Can you do that, Mr. Rogers?

-Yes, I can.

But that's the extent of it.

Now, I know you do
very fancy things.

Are you good at yo-yos, too?

-Uh, no.

[LAUGHING]

-Show us something, will you?

-OK.

First, we make the yo-yo sleep.

It's hesitating at the
bottom of the string,

and I want it to come up.

I jerk my hand, and up it comes.

Then we walk the dog.

Put him down.

He gently walks along.

-You may do it, but this--
[LAUGHS] can you walk the dog?

-Mm-hmm.

Tom taught me this.

Sleep.

Ah.

Sleep, walk.

-Almost.

But if you practice, I'm
sure you'll get it soon.

-OK.

-Now here's a trick you'll like.

This is rocking the baby.

See the baby rock
nice and peacefully?

-Yes.

-Then he comes back,
and you catch him.

-I don't know how
in the world you--

well, that's what
teachers are for.

-Right.

-You're a teacher of this.

Aren't you?

-Mm-hmm.

I teach people how to yo-yo,
and we make a lot of progress.

So here is around the corner.

See what you can do if you
work at it for a while?

Come around and catch it.

But from the first trick
where you thrown it down,

right up to the most
complex, such as a baby

rocking around the cradle.

-Look at that.

-And you can still
keep it going.

-We try.

And we'll show you-- I'm going
to now use a butterfly yo-yo

and show you a trick
that lands on the string.

-Well, what's the difference?

Because this looks
like butterfly wings,

is that why you call it that?

-Well, I'm going to
land on the string.

So I have a lot more
area to land on.

-I see.

-And the trick is called the
man on the flying trapeze.

See.

He rides.

-Hm.

-We can even give
him a somersault.

Here's the man on the flying
trapeze with a somersault.

-Look at that.

Would you?

[LAUGHS]

-And here's a Ferris wheel.

-All with a yo-yo and a string.

-And here is the magic triangle.

-Wow.

-That's just like dancing.

Do you ever do two
yo-yos at once?

-I try.

-I mean one on one hand
and one on the other?

-Mm-hmm.

-Just about enough
time to do that, Tom.

Then we got to get
out for the school.

-OK.

I'll put the yo-yos on.

-Two-handed.

-Adjust them.

And here we go.

[LAUGHING]

-I've never seen
him do that one.

Look at those two.

-Doesn't it look
like they're dancing?

-Mm-hmm.

-There you are.

So nice seeing you, Mr. Rogers.

-I'm glad to meet you.

My goodness.

I've heard about you,
and I'm now I've met you.

I'm very glad you would come by.

Thanks, Bob.

-You bet, Fred.

[LAUGHING]

-Bye-bye.

-So long.

-Ah.

It takes so much
practice to do something

like that really well.

But as Tom Parks says, it
all begins with down and up,

down and up.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

-Oh.

I wonder if they
forgot something.

Oh, it's Mr. McFeely.

Come in, Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy delivery to you.

-Oh, you've got it.

Will you come in with me?

-I sure will.

-Look.

-A yo-yo.

-Did you know Tom Parks
was in the neighborhood?

-That's what I hear.

He's the yo-yo expert.

Right?

-He certainly is.

Do you want to try it?
-No.

I'll leave that to you.

I always wish I could
work one of those things.

But it takes a lot of
practice, I'll bet.

Right?

-It surely does.

A lot of practice.

-Just like the Speedy
Delivery Service.

[LAUGHS]
-Yes, it does.

-Well, here it is.

Here's the tape you wanted.

-"People Who Work at Night."
Want to watch it with me?

-Sure.

I'd like to.

-Good.

And I just asked you for
this just a little while ago.

-That's my motto,
speedy delivery.

-Thanks, Mr. McFeely.

Let's watch this together.

-You're welcome.

-"People Who Work at Night."

MR. ROGERS: This film is
about a neighbor of ours,

and this is her
house right here.

Her name is Vicki Coleman.

She's a police officer who
works in the nighttime.

MR. MCFEELY: Oh.

There's Tiana and Bill, too.

MR. ROGERS: Yes.

The Coleman family.

MR. MCFEELY:
Tiana's really grown

since the last I've seen her.

MR. ROGERS: She certainly has.

MR. MCFEELY: It
looks like she has

a lot of homework to do there.

MR. ROGERS: Mm-hmm.

Here's Officer Coleman
leaving to do her work.

She says she really likes
her job as a police officer.

It gives her a chance to help
people if they should need it.

There she is at her
police station there.

Now, that police station is
right next to a firehouse.

MR. MCFEELY: Firefighters
certainly work at night.

MR. ROGERS: Yes, they do.

They have to be ready to
work anytime they're needed.

Here's Officer Coleman in
her car in the nighttime.

MR. MCFEELY: That looks
like Dave's gas station.

Oh, it is.
MR. ROGERS: Mm-hmm.

MR. MCFEELY: You know, Steve
and Jim work there at night.

I sometimes take my
car there to get gas.

Of course, uh, my
Speedy Delivery bicycle

doesn't need gas.

They are very friendly
people at that station.

MR. ROGERS: They certainly are.

People do so many different
kinds of jobs in the nighttime.

These men here are
repairing a fire hydrant.

They have to dig deep
to where the pipes are.

MR. MCFEELY: A lot of dirt.

MR. ROGERS: And a lot of work.

Of course, sometimes people need
medical help in the nighttime.

Monica and Paul are
paramedics, and they've just

finished caring for somebody who
needed to go to the hospital.

And inside the hospital,
there are people who are awake

all night to take care
of people who need them.

Many different helping
jobs in the hospital.

MR. MCFEELY: Oh.

There goes Officer
Coleman in her car.

MR. ROGERS: Yeah.

She sometimes stops at that
all-night diner to eat.

And inside it's very
bright, and there

are many different
foods for people.

You know Chuck Hewell.

MR. MCFEELY: Oh, sure.

MR. ROGERS: He's the
manager and the cook.

MR. MCFEELY: Oh, those grilled
cheese sandwiches look good.

MR. ROGERS: They
do, and they are.

During the nighttime,
Officer Coleman

often drives by a
produce company.

That's where the
vegetables are loaded

and sent to the
stores for the day.

MR. MCFEELY: A lot of lettuce.

MR. ROGERS: And onto the
truck that lettuce goes.

Now it's just about daytime.

Officer Coleman sees
different people

starting to do their work.

MR. MCFEELY: Those are

MR. ROGERS: So many
people doing so many

different things
in the nighttime.

MR. MCFEELY: And
early morning, too.

That's Shawn doing his
work, delivering newspapers.

MR. ROGERS: Yes.

MR. MCFEELY: I'll bet I know who
Tiana's waiting for-- her mom.

MR. ROGERS: So nighttime is
over, and daytime begins.

And Mrs. Coleman is home.

-There are many people
who work at night.

-That's for sure.

You know, some of us
think when we go to bed,

that everything stops
when we're asleep.

But there's always
somebody taking

care of something


-And night.

-That's for sure.

Well, speedy delivery back
to the library right now.

-Thank you again, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, you're quite welcome.

There's always something
interesting to talk

about in this world.

-There surely is.

-Speedy delivery to you.

-Glad you're here to
help me talk about it.

-Thank you.

Bye-bye.

-Bye.

Let's have some Make-Believe.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

[TROLLEY CLANG]

Trolley.

Let's make believe that
it's almost daytime

in the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe,

and Lady Aberlin
and the star visitor

have been camping
out under the stars.

Maybe Bob Dog could
come along unexpectedly.

OK, Trolley.

Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

[TROLLEY CLANG]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

[TROLLEY CLANG]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Mee-thee, mee-thee, mee-thee.

-That's the trolley
making its morning run.

-Mee-thee, mee-thee mee.

-I wish I knew exactly
what you were saying.

What I do know is that we're
really glad you came to visit.

-Mee-thee, mee-thee thee.
Mee-mee thee-thee.

-Whatever it is, it
sounds a little sad.

-Mee-thee mee.
Mee-thee, thee, thee.

-Woof!

-Oh.

Oh, Bob Dog.

You really startled us.

-Mee-thee.

Mee-thee.

Mee-mee thee.

-I'm sorry.

I just wanted to say good
morning to the world.

-Well, good morning
almost to you, Bob Dog.

-Almost.

-I'd like you to meet
our star visitor.

-Oh.

Well, I'm--- I'm pleased
to meet you, visitor.

-Mee-thee.

Mee-thee.

Mee-thee.

-Well, same-- same to you.

-Something tells me
it's a little sad,

but I don't know what
I can do to help.

-Well, I could
take it for a ride.

-Would you like that?

-Mee-thee, mee-thee, mee-thee?

-It would just be
for a few minutes.

-Yeah.

I could show you everything
in the neighborhoods,

and I'll bet it wouldn't be the
same way where you came from.

[LAUGHS]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Oh.

-Woof!

You want to come along, Lady A?

-Oh.

No thanks.

I'll-- I'll be waiting
right around here.

I have some things
I need to check on.

Bob Dog will take
very good care of you,

and I'll be waiting for
you right around here.

-Mee-thee.

-Come on, little fella.

-Maybe I can find a way to
help you a little better.

-Ready?

Let's go for a ride.

Up we go.

Here.

Now I'll show you
all kinds of things.

[BELL RINGS]

-What's your news, Lady A?

-Oh.

I don't really have
any news, Lady Elaine.

I just wanted to ask your
advice about something.

-Well, just speak right
into the microphone, dear.

-Oh.

Well, I'd rather not
have our conversation

on your news program.

-Well, the biggest
news right now

is that the morning's coming.

[LAUGHS] I'll put this
camera down, then.

Incidentally, how's the
little visitor from up there?

-That's what I wanted to talk
with you about, Lady Elaine.

-Oh.

Ask me anything.

I'll give you an answer.

-Well, I'm not able to
understand our visitor.

In fact, I can't even
make out among all

those mee-thees
what its name is.

-Oh, don't worry
about its name, toots.

-But names are important.

-Well, if you do find out
what its name is, let me know.

Hey, look over there.

The visitor is with Bob Dog.

-Oh, I know.

-But it looks like Friday
is telling it something.

-Scintillate, scintillate
diminutive stellar orb.

How inexplicable to me seems
this stupendous problem

of your existence.

Elevated at such an immeasurable
distance in apparently

perpendicular direction
from this terrestrial planet

which we occupy.

Resembling in thy dazzling
and unapproachable effulgence,

a gem of purest
carbon set solitaire

in a university of space.

-Mee-thee, mee-thee.

-Wow. [HOWL]

-Those are large
words, and I'm not

sure you understood them all.

Did you?

-Mee-thee.

-At any rate, you can always
remember how intelligent

the King of the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe really is.

-Mee-thee-thee.

Mee-mee-thee.

-So almost good
morning to you all.

Farewell.

-Yeah.

Well, farewell, Your Majesty.

-Mee-thee.

Mee-mee.

-How are you doing?

-Oh, we're having a good trip.

We've been to-- to-- to
Westwood and to someplace else.

And now King Friday just
recited the big words

to "Twinkle, Twinkle
Little Star."

-Did you understand any of that?

-Mee-thee-thee.

Mee-mee.

-It's all right.

We don't have to understand
everything to like it.

-You are a wise dog, Bob Dog.

[HOWLS]

-Do you have any other
places to sight see?

-Just around here.

-I'd like to talk with
Daniel Tiger about something.

-Well, why don't we meet you
at the clock in, say-- oh,

around 3:00 or 4:00.

-That's good.

-Good.

-Mee-thee-thee.

Thee-mee-mee.

-I wish I knew how to
help you, but I'm trying.

[KNOCKING]

-Oh.

Hi.

-I hope I didn't
waken you, Daniel.

-Oh, no.

It's fun to see the day
come little by little,

and I'm glad to see you anytime.

-I have a problem.

-What is it?

-Well, I think that
something is bothering

our visitor from the sky.

But I don't know what it is.

-Can't it tell you?

-It tried to, but I can't
understand its language.

-Does it talk star talk?

-I don't know what it is.

It just sounds like a lot of
mees and thees together to me.

-That sounds nice, though.

-Do you think you
could understand it?

-I could try.

[HOWLING]

-Oh.

Here comes your chance.

Hello.

-Look what Corney gave it.

-Oh.

That's a very nice rocket.

-Mee-thee-thee.

Mee-mee-thee.

-Now I'd like you to meet one
of my very best tiger friends

in the whole world,
Daniel Striped Tiger.

-Mee-thee?

-Yes.

-Mee-mee, thee-thee.

-Just talk a while, and
let me try to understand.

-Mee-thee, mee-mee-thee.

Thee.

Thee-mee-mee.
Thee-mee.

Mee-mee.

Me-thee-thee.

Thee.

Mee-mee.

Thee-thee.

-Well, that is hard.

Isn't it?

-Mee-thee.

-Do you understand
what it's saying?

-I'm beginning to.

-Ask why it's so sad.

-I think I already know.

Are you telling us
that you like it here,

but you know that when the
nighttime is completely over

you'll have to go
back to your star?

-Mee-thee.

-It's hard to want to be
in two places at once.

Isn't it?

-Mee-thee.

Thee-thee-thee.

Mee-mee-thee.

-Well, you really can't do that.

But when you're here, you can
think about your friends there.

And when you're there, you
can think of about us here.

-Mee-me thee.

Mee-mee-mee, thee-thee.

-Of course we want you to
come back whenever you want.

We're glad you found us.

-How can you understand
all that, Daniel?

-I hear we've got
an interpreter here.

What's it all about, Daniel?

-Mee-thee.
Mee-mee.

Thee-thee.

Mee-thee.

-It says thanks for welcoming
it as soon as it landed,

Lady Elaine.

-Oh.

You're welcome, toots.

But I want an interview
for my TV news

before you take off again.

-We don't even
know its name yet.

-Mee-thee-mee, thee-mee.

-It says its name
is Yo-Yo Labelle.

-Yo-Yo Labelle, what
a beautiful name.

-And here comes your ride.

Here comes your ride.

-Oh, that's a pretty one.

I remember when it came.
-Mee-thee mee-mee mee-thee-thee.

Mee-mee thee-thee mee.

-We certainly feel
that way about you,

and we hope you will come back.

-Mee-thee-thee mee-mee
thee-thee mee-mee.

-Well, thank you, Yo-Yo Labelle.

You really are a
beautiful creature.

-Yes.

I like you and
your star traveler.

There you go, little friend.

Get you all set to take off.

There.

All set.

Good trip.

-Hey, Bob Dog.

Help me with these
last pictures.

Will you, please?
-Yeah.

Sure.

-Oh, thanks.

OK, Bob Dog.

Oh, you're good
at that, Bob Dog.

[LAUGHS]

-Yeah.

-Bye.

Bye-bye, Yo-yo Labelle.

-Bye-bye, Yo-Yo Labelle.

Bye-bye.

I liked Yo-Yo Labelle.

-I liked him, too.

But you helped me
to like him more.

-But you knew he was sad.

-But you could find out
the reason for his sadness.

-Why do you think
that people and tigers

and Labelles get sad sometimes?

-I guess because
we have feelings.

-I wonder why we have feelings.

-Because we are alive,
and we care about others.

-Why do we care?

-Because somebody
cared about us once.

-Do you suppose everybody
in the whole world cares?

-I think everybody cares
about something or somebody.

-I sure care about you.

-Oh, Daniel, I care so
much about you. [SINGING]

In the daytime.

In the nighttime.

-[SINGING] Any time that
you feel is the right time.

-[SINGING] For a friendship
with me, you see.

-[SINGING] Mee-thee
mee-thee mee-thee special.

-[SINGING] You are my friend.

You're special to me.

-[SINGING] There's only one
in this wonderful world.

-[SINGING] You are special.

-Ugga mugga.

-Ugga mugga.

-I can't see the stars.

It's morning now.

-We'll see them tonight.

Good morning, Daniel.

-Good morning, Lady Aberlin.

-I hope you have
a beautiful day.

-You, too.

Thanks.

[TROLLEY CLANGS]

-Good morning, Trolley.

[TROLLEY CLANGS]

-Oh, yes.

It was quite a night.

-Hi, Trolley.

[TROLLEY WHISTLES AND CLANGS]

-Yo-Yo Labelle.

[TROLLEY WHISTLES AND CLANGS]

LADY ABERLIN AND BOB DOG: Yes.

He is.

See you soon, Trolley.

[TROLLEY CLANGS AND WHISTLES]

[TROLLEY WHISTLES AND CLANGS]

-So the visitor from the
stars was Yo-Yo Labelle.

What a beautiful name that is,
and the best surprise for me

was Daniel understanding
Yo-Yo Labelle

just by listening
with his heart.

That's the best way to try
to understand somebody.

Isn't it?

Heart to heart.

Here's my globe of the world.

I'll pretend that this
is the sun right now,

and that's the way the
world spins around.

You know, there's some people
in the world who are just going

to bed right now
and some people who

are sound asleep and some
people who are just getting up

and some who are
wide awake doing

all sorts of things
with their day.

What a wonderful world we have,
and it's such a good feeling

to know that there are so
many people who care about it

and care about all
of us who live in it.

-[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 week 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 always have lots of
things to talk about.

Don't we?

You and I. You're a
very special person.

There's only one like
you in this whole world.

There's never been anybody
exactly like you before,

and there will never be
anybody exactly like you again.

You're the only
one, and people can

like you exactly as you are.

I'll be back.

Bye.
