[THEME SONG BEGINS]

-[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?

-This is different, isn't it?

I don't usually
take off my socks.

No.

But I've been doing a
lot of walking today,

and my feet are tired.

I have a little pool of
water out in the yard,

so I think I'll
just soak my feet

in that water for a few minutes.

I brought these
slippers so that I

could put them on
and walk outside.

Yeah, it is different.

Let's just go do it.

-Here it is.

Got a towel here.

-I better roll up my pants.

-Oh.

Now that really feels good.

[SPLASHING]

-There's something about
water that my feet just love.

-You know, I've
been sitting here

thinking about different ways
people have of showing love

to each other,
and to themselves.

I like to think of
things like that.

[JAZZY PIANO MUSIC]

FRANCOIS CLEMMONS: Hey, Fred.

-Francois Clemmons.

Hi.

Welcome.

-Thank you.

How are you doing?

-Fine.
How are you today?

-Fine.

-My feet were
tired, so I thought

I'd just soak them for
a while in this water.

-Does it make them feel better?

-It does.

Would you like to try?

-Sure.

-OK.

Here, have my seat there.

-Thank you.

-Take your shoes and socks off.

And I'll go get a
chair for myself.

-It's a surprise to
see you here today.

-Well, I've been filling
out over at the precinct

for a couple days while
Joe's away on vacation.

Here, let me pull those up.

Ah.

-Doesn't that feel good?

-It does feel good.

But my assignment
is just about over,

and I'm going to have to
leave in a couple of days.

-I was just talking with
my television friends

and thinking about
many different ways

of saying "I love you".

-Oh.

Singing is one of my ways
of saying "I love you".

-Oh, I know that.

Do you have time to give of
a song to my friend and me?

-I sure do.

[PIANO MUSIC]

-[SINGING] There are many
ways to say I love you.

There are many ways to
say I care about you.

Many ways, many ways, many
ways to say I love you.

There's the singing
way to say I love you.

There's the singing something
someone really likes to hear.

The singing way, the singing
way, the singing way to say I

love you.

-[SINGING] Cleaning up a
room can say I love you.

Hanging up your coat
before your asked to do it.

Drawing special pictures for
the holidays and making plays.

-[SINGING] You'll find many
ways to say I love you.

You'll find many ways to
understand what love is.

Many ways, many ways, many
ways to say I love you.

-I'm so proud of you, Francois.

-Oh, thank you, Fred.

I like being a human
being right here and now.

-Well, I guess I'm going to
have to get back to work.

-I always like it whenever you
have time to visit with us.

-Thank you.

-Can I help you here?

-Thank you.

-Did you ever take a
bath in a little pool

like this when you
were a little boy?

-I sure did.

My brothers and
sisters and I all did.

Thank you.

-There's a special
feeling about this.

-Did you, when you were young?

-Oh, yeah.

My grandfather, he
always-- he always

allowed me to go in a
little pool that he had.

But I'd get all soapy.

You know, soap suds all over me.

And then my grandfather
would take this hose

and go like this with me.

He'd squirt it all over me
until the soap-- you know,

he'd rinse the suds off.

-So you were playing?

-Yeah, my grandfather and I
did a lot of playing together.

In fact, my grandfather and
I loved each other a lot.

We did a lot of fun
things together.

You must have memories
like that, too.

-I sure do.

Well, I've got to
get back to work.

Thank you for the relaxation.

-Thanks for sharing it with
me and thank you your song.

-My pleasure.

-I'll see you soon.

-Alright.

-Bye, Frans.

-Bye.

-Yeah, my feet in
this warm water

does remind me of
my grandfather.

-And the good times
we had together.

-Maybe we could have
some make-believe.

Come on inside.

We'll do that.

-Get the Trolley.

OK, Trolley.

[TROLLEY THEME AND BELLS]

-Last time in the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe, Lady Elaine

Fairchilde and Mayor
Maggie had started

to work on their soap opera.

They were going to call
it As the Museum Turns.

They asked others to help
them, but they didn't

seem to be very clear about
the story of the soap opera.

Lady Elaine, of course,
wants to be the star.

So let's see what more
they make of it now

in the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe.

OK, Trolley.

[TROLLEY THEME AND WHISTLE]

[TROLLEY BELLS]

-Ah, Neighborhood
Trolley, I presume?

[TROLLEY WHISTLE, BELLS]

-Are you working, Trolley?

[TROLLEY WHISTLE, BELLS]

-Good for you.

Everyone should be working.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Now, you may take your leave.

[TROLLEY THEME, BELLS]

-Very good.

Ah, Prince Tuesday, I presume?

-Correct as usual, Daddy.

-And what are you
working at today?

-I thought you and I could
take a walk together.

-What kind of work is that?

-Oh it's not work.

It's just for us to be together.

-I think you should do
your schoolwork, Tuesday.

People can go on walks anytime.

It's work that's important.

MR. MCFEELY: Speedy delivery.

Speedy delivery, everyone.

-Now, there's a worker for you.

-Hi, Mr. McFeely.

-Mr. McFeely, I presume?

-Correct as usual, King Friday.

-Do you have a castle delivery?

-Well, actually this
delivery is for the play

at the Museum-Go-Round.

-Play, play, play.

That's all anyone
loves around here.

Play.

I must get to work.

-Well.

-Daddy sure seems angry.

-I guess he's the
all-work-no-play king.

-I guess he is.

-Oh.

Tuesday, how would you like
to help me make this delivery?

-Do you mean it?

-Of course.

We could do it together.

In fact, Lady Elaine is
over at the museum right now

waiting for it.

I can see her.

-Oh, good.
Let's go.

-Alrighty.

Right this way.

Speedy delivery.

-Now, what's the first thing
you need for a soap opera?

Well, I thought
I'd have it by now.

Where is that so-called
speedy delivery?

MR. MCFEELY: Speedy delivery.

-Oh, there you are.

-Speedy delivery.

-Well, hello you two.

Have you got it, Mr. McFeely?

-Is this the delivery
you want, Lady Elaine?

-We'll have to open it and see.

-I'm helping Mr. McFeely.

-Oh, that's good, kid.

Now, let's verify this delivery.

Verify the delivery.

Alrighty.

Why, it's soap.

A whole lot of
soap, Lady Elaine.

LADY ELAINE: That's it.

We're making a soap
opera here, so I

figured we need a lot of soap.

-Tuesday.

-Oh, look, there's
our director now.

-Hello, everyone.

[EVERYONE SAYING HELLO]

-Look what I ordered, Maggie.

-Looks like you're going to do
a lot of washing, Lady Elaine.

-Oh, it's for the opera.

It's a soap opera, isn't it?

-You think of everything.

-If I'm the star of the soap,
we have to have plenty of soap.

-I think we'd better talk some
more about this, Lady Elaine.

Incidentally,
gentlemen, would you

like to be in the soap opera?

-Wish I could, but I
have a lot of pick-up

and deliveries, Mayor Maggie.

-How about you, Tuesday?

-My dad wouldn't let me.

Thanks anyway.

-Your dad?

King Friday?

I thought he liked to do things.

-Yes.

But they have to be
things that are all work.

-No play.

-Oh, he's an old
stick in the mud.

-Doesn't King Friday know that
good plays can be good work?

-I don't know, Mayor Maggie.

Sometimes I don't
understand my dad.

-Well, we better
go, Prince Tuesday.

-Yes, Mr. McFeely.

I hope you all have
a really good time.

-Thanks for your delivery.

We've got our soap.

Now all we need is the opera.

-Speedy delivery.

-One more thing, Tuesday.

-What is it, Auntie Elaine?

-You did a good job
helping Mr. McFeely.

I'm proud of you.

-Oh, thanks a lot.

-You're always
welcome at my place.

Always.

-Gee, thanks, Auntie Elaine.

-We'll see you two
delivery men later.

-Speedy delivery.

-Speedy delivery.

Bye-bye.

-Now, let's figure out how much
soap a soap opera can take.

-Want to help me
bring it inside?

-OK.

-Thanks for letting me
help you, Mr. McFeely.

-As your Auntie
Lady Elaine said,

you're a fine helper, Tuesday.

-I wonder why she told me that.

-She loves you, Tuesday.

-It sure did make me feel good.

-She probably thought it would.

-She was right.

-Well, I'll tell
you-- you're always

welcome to work or
play with me, too.

But right now back to reality.

See you around the neighborhood.

Speedy delivery.

Have a good day.

-Speedy delivery, Mr. McFeely.

Bye.

[ROYAL FANFARE]

-Prince Tuesday, I presume?

-Correct as usual, Dad.

I've had the best time.

-You're still hanging
around this garden?

I told you, you need to
be working at something.

-But, Daddy, I--

-No buts about it, Tuesday.

Things have gotten
too lax around here.

But, Daddy, I was just--

-Didn't I tell you
no buts about it?

-What's going on out here?

-I was trying to tell
Daddy what I was doing.

-The prince is not working.

In fact, nobody around
here is working.

I have to do everything.

-But, Friday, that's
just not true.

-There are no buts, Sara.

-People need a chance to
express themselves, Friday.

-Let them do it through work.

-You're being so unreasonable.

-That's your opinion.

Farewell to you both.

-We'll discuss
this later, Friday.

-I'm sorry, Mother.

-Well, I'm sorry, too, son.

But your father can make
people very angry sometimes.

Now, you come on inside and
we'll talk more about it.

-OK.

-I'll meet you right in here.

-[SINGING] It's
the people you like

the most who can make
you feel maddest.

It's the people you care for
the most, most likely who

manage to make you feel baddest.

[TROLLEY THEME, BELLS]

-Oh, I don't think
so either, Trolley.

[TROLLEY BELLS]

-That's right.

One day at a time.

[TROLLEY THEME, BELLS]

-The king seemed to make the
queen and Prince Tuesday angry.

Something must be
really bothering him.

We can make-believe more
about that and other things

next time.

Right now, I'd like you see
a book that I think is fun.

I'll just show you some
pages in this book.

It's called A Is For Animals.

And here is the
capital A and small a.

And there are some animals.

A is for animals.

B, capital B, small b.

Baboon.

Big C, little c.

Crocodile.

There's the crocodile.

The D is for dolphin,
those pretty creatures.

Beautiful.

E is for elephant.

We are elephants.

And F is for flamingo.

That bird, the flamingo.

What do you suppose
G stands for?

Giraffe.

There are three giraffes
there, aren't there?

And H is for hippopotamus.

Hippopotamus.

I stands for iguana.

And J for jaguar.

There's a little bird up
there, too, beside the jaguar.

I'll just show you a few more.

K-- koala.

Look at those koalas.

L-- lion.

Dad, mother, and baby lion.

M-- mandrill.

Isn't that an
interesting creature?

Mandrill.

N-- narwhal.

That's a creature
that lives in the sea.

See the sea there?

There's some others
under the water.

Reminds me, we
should feed our fish.

Come along.

These are small fish,
not big like narwhals.

Yeah.

F for fish.

You know, letters put
together can be words.

And words can be used to
say what you're thinking,

and how you're feeling.

But you and I know that it's
what's inside of us, before we

ever say a word,
that matters most.

[KNOCKING]

-Oh, there's
somebody at the door.

Let's see who that is.

It's Francois Clemmons again.

Well, you're
dressed differently.

-Hi, Fred.

I'm on my way over
to the school where

I'm going to do a concert.

And I thought you
might like to hear

one of the songs
I'm going to sing.

-You can be sure I would.

-[SINGING "SWING LOW, SWEET
CHARIOT]

-Oh, what a great feeling.

That band of angels.

-You like that part?

-Oh, I like it all.

-[SINGING THE VERSE FROM "SWING
LOW, SWEET CHARIOT"]

-Oh, I love your singing.

-Thank you, Fred.

One of I like to
sing for you is you

know how to show appreciation.

-Everybody loves
to be appreciated.

-They sure do.

And I've got to be
off to my concert.

-Thank you, Frans,
for stopping by.

-OK.
-See you again.

-See you later.

Bye-bye.

-[SINGING SOME OF THE SONG]

-Oh boy.

Woo.

Well, as you know, I'm
very proud of Mr. Clemmons.

He knows that, too.

Remember before
he came just now,

I was saying it's what's
inside of us that matters most?

Well, it's what's
inside of him that

helps him sing his
songs so wonderfully.

And I was thinking, too,
that I know some people

who can't say or sing any words.

But they sure can let you
know that they love you.

That's the best gift of all.

That's what can give you the
most beautiful feeling of all--

recognizing that
somebody loves you.

[PIANO THEME BEGINS]

-[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.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

-You always make each
day such a special day.

You know how.

By just your being you.

There's only one person in
the whole world like you,

and that's you yourself.

And people can like
you exactly as you are.

Just the way you can like
others exactly as they are.

I'm glad to be with you.

I'll be back next time.

Bye.
