Hello, neighbor.

It's so good to see you again today.

[♪♪]

Did you see the...?

What special thing I brought in to show you?

It's called a picture board.

Because behind each one
of these little doors...

is a picture of people.

Lady Aberlin.

Let's see who's behind this door.

Here's King Friday XIII.

With his crown and...

mustache and beard.

Who's behind here?

Oh, it's Mr. McFeely.

He always says, "Speedy delivery,"
doesn't he?

I'd like you to meet a new friend of mine.

His name is Lloyd Vogel.

[♪♪]

Someone has hurt my friend Lloyd.

And not just on his face.

He is having a hard time forgiving

the person who hurt him.

Do you...? Do you know what that means?

To forgive?

It's a decision we make...

to release a person...

from the feelings of anger we have at them.

It's strange, but sometimes...

it's hardest of all
to forgive someone we love.

Let's say hello to my new friend, Lloyd.

[♪♪]

Shall we?

[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]

MAN: Here to present this year's award
for feature writing...

...last year's winner, Lloyd Vogel.

Thank you.

It's so wonderful to be among so many
of my fellow misfits tonight.

[CROWD CHUCKLES]

So...

why do we write for magazines for a living?

Honestly, because doing anything else
doesn't seem quite like living at all.

We get a front-row seat to history.

We get to expose the truth
that others cannot see.

And sometimes,

just sometimes,

we get to change a broken world
with our words.

[♪♪]

Mmm. Thank you.

I needed this.

I ate a block of cheese for dinner.

- Heh, heh.
- So, what are we forgetting?

You definitely need more diapers.

More than this?
We're going to Jersey for one night.

We go through at least 12 a day.

- We do?
- Mm-hm.

What are you feeding that kid?

Would it be easier
if we left him with a sitter?

I'm not ready to leave him with a stranger.

Okay? He's too little.

Yeah.

- Hey, your sister called last night.
- Mm-hm.

She wanted to make sure
you wrote your toast.

Oh, I'm all set.

I'm gonna use my speech
from her first wedding.

- Or maybe her second.
- Oh, yeah.

- Just change the names.
- Yeah.

And she wanted me to tell you something.

Okay.

Your father's coming.

I guess she reached out to him
a couple months ago and he didn't respond,

but then he called,
and now he's coming to the wedding.

Ohh.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

But I don't think we should go.

- Lloyd.
- What?

Seriously, why have a baby if you can't
use him to get out of social obligations?

This is what Lorraine was afraid of,
that you would back out.

I'm kidding. I'm not gonna miss her wedding.

I look forward to them every year.

Okay.

I think it'll be nice
for Gavin to meet his grandfather.

Ha, ha.

Sure.

[♪♪]

Damn it!

[BABY CRYING]

Daddy's just being funny.
Daddy's being funny.

It's impossible.

Here.

Take him. Here.

There.

Great.

He looks terrified.

He should be. He's marrying Lorraine.

[♪♪]

- Oh, my God, you look beautiful.
- Absolutely.

I'm 10 pounds short of my target weight,
but whatever.

- Lloyd, the brother.
- I know, man.

- I'm Todd. You know, the husband.
- Yeah.

And look at you, you little peanut.

- I don't think we're having any kids.
- How did that happen?

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

I invited him and he came.

To walk you down the aisle? Really?

He offered. He missed the first two.
I thought, "Why the hell not?"

I can think of a few reasons why.

He's old.

And if he's gonna try to make an effort...

[GLASS CLINKING]

Oh, I guess it's time we get this started.

So, in lieu of the typical
father-of-the-bride speech,

I thought I'd, well...

I'd like to sing a little ditty.

Now, this one's for my Lorraine.

And for you too.

What's his name again?

For Todd.

Yeah.

Well, here we are...

in the pearl of the Garden State, huh?

Hello, Jerry.

Oh, come on.
You don't have to call me Jerry.

Or call me Jerry, I don't care.

And hello to you.

Hi. I'm Andrea, Lloyd's wife.

Andrea! Of course.

What a...

unique pleasure.

And hello, little fella.

And this is Gavin.

What a handsome man.

You look just like me.

Yeah, let's get a drink, huh?

What's this stuff, pop?

Oh, this stuff will kill you.

I'm just giving my toast,
then we're leaving, so...

Doll?

Could you give us a moment?

She's... She's not a doll.

She's a public interest attorney.

Is there money in that?

You know what? We're gonna circulate, okay?

You got a baby.

And a wife.

You happy?

- I'm happy.
- Yeah.

Well, she seems nice enough.

But, ha, ha, I mean, aren't you a little old
to have a baby, huh?

[LAUGHING]

I'm not that old.

You're smart.

Your mom and I hardly knew each other
when she got pregnant.

But we were babies, huh?

Don't talk about her.

Ohh. Whoa, whoa. Wait a minute.
You don't know the whole story.

- Your mom really was not the saint...
- Don't talk about my mom!

- What are you doing?
- Get off me!

- Hey!
- Come on, man, what are you doing?

Come on.

[BABY CRYING]

What the hell?

- You didn't hear him.
- You were out of control.

He was out of control.

You're just not gonna take responsibility
for any of this?

Of course I am. I offered
to pay for Lorraine's dry cleaning.

[♪♪]

Have you ever felt the way Lloyd does?

So angry you want to hurt someone?

Or yourself?

I know I have.

When I was a boy, I was very chubby.

And the other kids would chase me

and call me names,

like Fat Freddy.

It made me very sad.

Sometimes, when I was by myself,

I would cry.

And other times,

it made me very angry.

There is always something you can do

with the mad that you feel.

[KNOCKING]

Did you hear that?

Someone is at my door.

Let's go see who it is.

It's Mr. McFeely.

[♪♪]

Speedy delivery.

Look. It's a magazine.

Thank you.

Magazines are always so full
of interesting information.

They sure are.

My friend Lloyd works for a magazine.
He is a very wonderful writer.

That reminds me, I have a video I found.

And I thought you and your neighbor
may like to see it.

What is it?

It's about how people make a magazine.

It's called "How People Make a Magazine."

I know lots of people like magazines, so
I thought you might find this interesting.

I think we would.
Do you have time to show it to us now?

Well, I'd be glad to see it again.

Let's look at it on Picture Picture.

We'll watch it on Picture Picture...

and see how people make...

a magazine.

[♪♪]

McFEELY: This is the ink they use in the
printing press that prints the magazines.

ROGERS:
Yellow ink.

It looks like mustard. Heh, heh.

McFEELY:
And these are large rolls of blank paper

that are getting loaded into the machine.

ROGERS:
I wonder how many magazines they can make

out of one of those large rolls.

McFEELY: They print the magazines
in giant sheets, one color at a time.

This machine assembles the magazine

and glues it all together.

ROGERS:
Oh, now, who's this?

McFEELY: These are the people who decide
what will be in the magazine.

They pick the pictures
and design the layout.

ROGERS:
Oh, that's an important job.

McFEELY: And these are the people
who write the words that go into a magazine.

ROGERS: It's a lot of work
to make a magazine, isn't it?

McFEELY:
It certainly is.

[RAPS ON DOOR]

- Yeah?
- Pay no attention to my face.

Softball injury. Nothing to worry about.
Good morning, Ellen. How are you?

Well, this should be interesting.

- What should?
- Sending you on an assignment

with your face all busted up.

- An assignment?
- Yep.

You're the perfect person for it.

- You just had a baby.
- Why are you giving me an assignment?

We're doing an issue on heroes,

and we're profiling
a number of inspirational people.

We just need a small piece of copy
to accompany a pretty photo.

You hired me as an investigative journalist.
I don't do puff pieces.

Wait a second. Didn't I hire you
to do whatever I tell you to do?

And right now that's doing a profile
on one of our nation's heroes.

Who?

Mister Rogers.

As in the hokey kids' show guy?

As in the beloved
children's television host, yes.

Look, I...

I think this could help you, Loyd, just...

start to change your image.

I don't need to change my image.

Okay.

Ellen?

He was the only person on our list
willing to be interviewed by you.

I guess you're developing a reputation.

A reputation? People love talking to me.

Yeah, they do,
until they read what you write about them.

So, what,
I'm supposed to go easy on this guy

because he plays with puppets for a living?

Four hundred words. Play nice.

Hello. This is Lloyd Vogel,
from Esquire magazine.

I'm calling to schedule an interview with...

Mister Rogers.

Sorry about your face!

You know, I got it good too.

Look, I messed this up.

I just want to talk to you.

- We have a lot that needs to be said.
- No.

I'm not gonna be ambushed.

Come on, Lloyd!

[♪♪]

Hi, honey.

Hi. Hi, guys.

WOMAN 1:
Hi, Lloyd.

Smells in here.

Bathroom trash.

Nine different types of diapers.

WOMAN 2:
Hey, Lloyd.

WOMAN 3:
Hey. What are you doing over here?

♪ Down by the bay

[PHONE RINGS]

LLOYD:
I got it!

Hello?

ROGERS:
Lloyd?

Who's this?

This is Fred Rogers.

Hi, that was quick.

Well, I figured, if you want to talk to me,
I should want to talk to you.

Yeah, I just wanted to set a time
to sit with you and ask a few questions.

I'm happy to schedule something,
except for one thing.

What's that?

You have me here right now.

Okay. Sure.

On our program,
I try to look through the camera

into the eyes of a single child...

and speak to him or her,

trying to be fully present

to their feelings and their needs.

Right.

Do you know what the most important thing
in the world is to me right now?

No.

Talking on the telephone to Lloyd Vogel.

Hey.

Hey.

You okay?

I got an assignment.

Where you going this time?

Pittsburgh.

- Tomorrow.
- Ah.

I'm profiling Mister Rogers.

Really?

Well, I love him.

You do?

Yeah.

Why?

I don't know.

Wait.

Ellen is giving you a profile?

She knows that's not what you do.

I think that's her point.

Well, can you say no?

Can you take some time
and be with us for a while?

You didn't take off any time
when Gavin was born.

Not really.

At least it's someone good.

Yeah.

We'll see.

Oh, God, Lloyd, please,

don't ruin my childhood.

[♪♪]

GIRL: I love y'all!
BOY: I love you too!

Hey, I'm looking for Fred Rogers.

- Who?
- Am I in the wrong place?

I know who you are. In here.

You'll get about 20 minutes with him
during the break.

I was told an hour.

You're not gonna try to fight him, are you?

Oh! Softball league. Play at the plate.

Maybe you shouldn't have led with your face.

[WHISPERING]
Hi, Evan.

Sorry, guy. Could be a minute.

LLOYD [WHISPERING]:
Is this a Make-A-Wish thing?

[IN NORMAL VOICE]
How we doing, Margy?

He's ruining my life.

How long?

Half hour already, which...

puts us at 73 minutes behind.

I gotta go in.

- Cover me.
- You're on your own.

...color of sweater that I do.

But I can't see colors very well.

- Isn't that funny?
- Don't.

Look at that. Look at that.

I'm sorry. Son, he's talking to you.

- Okay, sweetie. Honey, honey.
- All right.

WOMAN:
Don't do that, sweetheart.

That... That sword looks awfully sharp.

And heavy too.

- Not really.
- No?

Well, you must be very strong in order to...

hold it like that.

And I bet you are very strong

on the inside too.

Well...

[ROGERS CHUCKLES]

Oh, I like that.

- Thank you. Yes, right.
- Terribly sorry, Fred. We need to start.

Can I...? Can I take your picture?

- Yes.
- Yes?

Everybody make sure you can see me.

Now. Thank you.

Thank you so much for coming down
and visiting us in the neighborhood.

- Folks, if you'll follow me.
- Okay.

- Thank you.
- Great job.

- You did such a good job.
- How often does this happen?

Every day.

Okay, here we go!

Everybody settle.

Quiet, please.

Roll sound.

- Sound speeds.
AD: Mark it.

- And... action.
ROGERS: Ahem.

Do you know what this is?

[♪♪]

It's Lloyd.

Lloyd.

Hold, please!

We can't fire him, can we?

Hello, Lloyd.
Oh, it's nice to meet you. What...?

- Are you all right?
- [IN NORMAL VOICE] Play at the plate.

Mercy, that looks like it hurts.

- Let's chat afterwards.
- We need to keep moving.

Have Evan take a look at him.

- No, I'm good. I'm good.
- No, I'm sorry, Fred.

- Yeah.
- We just need to...

All right, all right.

It's wonderful to meet you.
So glad you're here.

I'm looking forward to talking with you,
I truly am.

After this.

Everyone, this is Lloyd Vogel.
He is a wonderful writer.

AD:
Thank you, Fred.

- Okay, resetting.
- Step over here.

AD:
Roll sound.

MAN:
Sound speeds.

And slate.

And action.

Do you know what this is?

It's a tent.

Let's set it up.

[♪♪]

Oh, mercy.

A little bit trickier than I thought.

[GRUNTING]

[WHISPERING]
This is impossible.

I can't. I can't do it.

It must...

It must take two grown-ups to set up a tent.

And that's a cut. Let's go again.

[CREW CHUCKLES]

No, no, let's...

Let's look at that.

AD:
Okay, roll playback, please.

ROGERS:
Oh, mercy.

A little bit trickier than I thought.

- We could preset the tent for you.
ROGERS: No, no, no, I...

I think this is good.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think we're okay.

AD: Great? Good.
ROGERS: Yeah.

AD:
That's lunch, everybody.

The tent.
Why didn't you let them set it up for you?

Well, children need to know
that even when adults make plans,

sometimes they don't turn out
the way we'd hoped.

Mm.

How long have you been married, Lloyd?

Eight years.

Eight year... Oh, that's...

a wonderful accomplishment.

Does your spouse have a name?

Andrea.

I would like to meet Andrea someday.

I'm sure.

You've lived in Pittsburgh your whole life?

I grew up not too far from here
in a town called Latrobe.

But we've lived here quite some time
and we've raised our boys here.

And do you think living here makes it easier
or more difficult to be a celebrity?

Uh. "Celebrity." Mercy.

You don't consider yourself famous?

"Fame" is a four-letter word,

like "tape" or "zoom" or "face."

What ultimately matters
is what we do with it.

And what are you doing with it?

We are trying to give children positive ways

to deal with their feelings.

This piece will be
for an issue about heroes.

Do you consider yourself a hero?

I don't think of myself as a hero.

No, not at all.

What about Mister Rogers? Is he a hero?

I don't understand the question.

Well, there's you, Fred,

and then there's the character you play,
Mister Rogers.

You said it was a play at the plate?

Is that...? Is that what...?

Is that what happened to you?

What did happen to you, Lloyd?

I got into a fight.

Ohh. Oh, my.

Who did you get into a fight with?

It's not important.

Jerry.

Mm. And who is Jerry?

My father.

Oh, my.

I'd rather not talk about it.

Well, what were you and your father
fighting about?

I'm here to interview you, Mister Rogers.

Well, that is what we're doing, isn't it?

We're ready for you in Studio B, Fred.

Okay, Margy.

- I thought we had 20 minutes.
- Can I take your picture?

I like to take pictures
of people that I meet.

Then I can show them to Joanne later on.

Thank you so much.

I do hope you'll stick around. I really do.

That's...? That's it?

[♪♪]

[CHATTERING]

WOMAN:
Is it ready?

Daniel, you set?

ROGERS [IN HIGH PITCHED VOICE]:
I'm set!

Thank you, Daniel.

Did she just talk to the puppet?

Daniel isn't just a puppet.

Daniel is Fred, and Fred is Daniel.

- You mean...
- Please stop talking.

- Let me know when you're ready, Lady.
- Okay. Thank you.

AD:
And trolley.

Action.

[♪♪]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE BLOWS]

ROGERS:
Well, hello, Lady Aberlin.

LADY:
Hi, Daniel.

Are you making that funny smell?

Do you mean that skunk kind of smell? No.

I'm trying to help that smell go away.

By squirting another smell?

That's right. A sweet-smelling smell.

- Want to smell?
- Okay.

[BOTTLE SQUIRTS]

- Mmm.
- Ahh.

- That does smell good.
- Mm-hm.

Where did that bad smell come from?

Mr. Skunk.

He got scared,

and he just sprayed this smell all over me.

Oh, no. Did he say he was sorry?

No.

And that just makes me...

SO very mad,

and I don't know what to do.

Oh, Daniel.

I... I feel better.

I'm so glad.

I don't know if he's for real.

That's not for you to say, Lloyd.

I think with a few more interviews...
- No, no, no, I told you.

This isn't an expose, okay?

Just put pen to paper.
A couple funny anecdotes.

Keep it simple.

I can't do that, Ellen.
He's a lot more complex than I thought.

He's a children's entertainer.

He's Mister-freaking-Rogers.

This isn't Mikhail Gorbachev
we're talking about.

I don't think you understand
what you're asking of me.

I'm asking you to do your job.

Now, get out and come back to me
when you have your first draft.

[♪♪]

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

Now...

this gives new meaning to Boyz n the Hood!

We'll be back with Mister Rogers!

We all grew up with you...

- Hey.
- Hi.

ARSENO: I see things going on out there,
kind of worries me.

I wish more people would...

How'd it go?

He's just about the nicest person
I've ever met.

When you say it,
it doesn't sound like a compliment.

[GRUNTS]

There is-—- There's an attitude out there.

There's some things going on.
A lot of hopelessness.

What do we need to do?

There's no simple answers, of course,

but if we could,
through television programs,

as well as every other imaginable program,

let people know
that each one of us is precious.

ARSENIO: It all starts in the home. We can
never underrate how important that is.

ROGERS. I don't think anybody can grow
unless he really is accepted

exactly as he is.

If somebody is always saying to a child,
"Oh, you're... You're going to grow up

and you're... You're going to be fine."

There's so much of that
in this country already.

It's your turn.

- Yeah.
- And so a child is appreciated

for what he will be and not for what he is.

"He will be a great consumer someday.

And so the quicker
we can get them out of the nest

so they can go out and buy,
then the better."

What do you think is the biggest mistakes
parents make in raising their children?

ROGERS: Not to remember their own childhood.
- Yeah?

I think that the best thing
that we can do is to...

think about what it was like for us

and know what our children
are going through.

OPRAH: But you know what?
It's so hard once you get to be a parent.

You always say, "I will never do this,"
when your parents are doing it to you.

You say, "I will never do this to my child."”

And then you get to our age

and you forget what it was like
to be this size.

You really do forget.

Well, but those children
can help re-evoke what it was like.

That's why, when you're a parent,
you have a new chance to grow.

OPRAH:
You do.

Did you ever...? I can't imagine...
I know that you are the father of two boys,

but I can't imagine you
ever having a problem with your children.

- You ever have any?
ROGERS: Well, of course.

I'm a human being just like everybody else.

OPRAH: I thought you would just talk to them
and say:

"Can you say, 'Good morning?"
And they would change. Heh, heh.

ROGERS: But, you know,
a lot of people do those parodies, just...

ANDREA:
Hello?

ROGERS:
Oh, my. I woke you. Is this Andrea?

Yes.

This is Fred Rogers.

- Oh. Hi.
- Who is it?

Lloyd's right here.

No, Andrea, while I have you,

I just want to thank you so much
for sharing Lloyd with us.

Can't be easy,
him traveling with Gavin at home.

Oh, well, thank you for saying that.

I'm gonna give Lloyd to you now.

[WHISPERS]
Mister Rogers knows my name.

This is Lloyd.

You left without getting to say goodbye.

So I'm glad we get to continue to talk.
I'm going to New York City today to film.

And Joanne is coming with me,

and we thought
you might like to come down and say hello.

Um...

[♪♪]

How much time do you think
I'll have with him today?

You're here because Fred wants you here.

Honored.

He likes everybody,
but he loves people like you.

People like me?

I've read your work.

You don't really care for humanity, do you?

I'm just doing my job.

I insisted he read you before we agreed.

And did he?

Every article we could find.

Oh, thank you, thank you.

That made me want to get up
and do a little dance.

WOMAN 1:
We have a surprise for you, Mister Rogers.

We're gonna play one of your songs
called "You Are Special."

Well, how wonderful.

But how do you play your instruments
without your bows?

Well, we can play pizzicato,

which means we're going to pluck
the strings with our fingers.

ROGERS:
Oh.

WOMAN 2:
One, two, three, one, two.

[♪♪]

[CHATTERING]

- Hello, everybody. Hi.
WOMAN: Hi.

ROGERS: How nice to see you all.
How nice to see you.

WOMAN: Heh, heh.
- Lovely to meet you.

I call this move the "handshake handoff."

- I love your show.
- Thank you for coming.

LLOYD:
That's quite a skill.

We stole Bill from the governor's office
14 years ago.

You got a chance to know him yet?

Love Bill. Big fan.

He is very protective of Rog.

You call him "Rog"?

We don't call him Mister Rogers at home,
dear.

- Joanne Rogers.
- Oh, nice to meet you.

You as well, dear.

So how does it feel
to be married to a living saint?

You know, I'm not fond of that term.

If you think of him as a saint,

then his way of being is unattainable.

You know, he works at it all the time.
It's a practice.

He's not a perfect person.

He has a temper.

He chooses how he responds to that anger.

That must take a lot of effort.

Well, yeah, he... He does things every day
that help to ground him.

Read Scripture, swims laps,

prays for people by name.

Writes letters, hundreds of them.
He's been doing that since I met him.

- Thank you so much, so much.
- You be good.

CROWD: Bye, Mister Rogers.
- Thanks, folks.

WOMAN: Thank you.
- Thank you, folks, for coming out.

ROGERS: My love.
- Bye, my love.

- We'll see you in just a few hours or so.
- Yes. Just have a good time.

Lloyd, I thought you and I
would spend some time talking.

LLOYD: Oh, of course.
ROGERS: Weren't those ladies spectacular?

LLOYD: Incredible.
ROGERS: Just marvelous.

You know,
I found out about them through Joanne...

[♪♪]

[CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

Do you always take the subway?

Well, Joanne and I have an apartment.

It's just a few stops away,

and it's... It's the easiest way
to get around sometimes.

So...

you've covered some heavy stuff,

especially for a show aimed at children.

I'm glad you've had the chance
to view the program.

Death, divorce, war. It gets dark.

You know...

Maggie Stewart showed me
the most beautiful word in sign language.

You know what that means? It means "friend."

Isn't that perfect?

Who's Maggie Stewart?

GIRL: Do it.
BOY: Hey, Mister Rogers!

It's a beautiful...

♪ It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
A beautiful day for a neighbor ♪

That was wonderful.

[♪♪]

It seems like all these people line up

to tell you their problems.

Isn't it wonderful?

Such bravery?

Well...

it seems like that would be
an incredible burden on you.

Well, I'm grateful
for you saying that, Lloyd.

I'm grateful for your compassion.

Is it? A burden on you?

Okay, let's assume it's a burden on you.

There... There is no normal life
that is free from pain.

How do you deal with it?

Oh, well, there are many ways you can deal
with your feelings without hurting yourself

or anybody else.

Yeah, like...? Like what?

Well, you can pound a lump of clay...

or swim as fast as you can swim

or play the lowest keys on a piano
all at the same time.

[IMITATES BANGING ON PIANO KEYS]

Do you ever talk to anyone
about the burden you carry?

Would you like to meet
my special puppet friends

from the Neighborhood of Make-Believe?

They look like they've seen better days.

Well, they...
They've been with me for quite a while.

You ever think about swapping them out?
Getting new ones?

Didn't you have a special friend
when you were very young, Lloyd?

A special friend?

Yeah, a special toy.

Ora...

A stuffed animal that you loved very much,

even as it got ratty and worn out
and made you just love it all the more?

I don't know. I'm sure I did.

Can you tell me about your special friend?

Think I had a rabbit.

Did your rabbit have a name?

Just "Rabbit."

It was "Old Rabbit."

And who gave you Old Rabbit?

My mom.

She must love you very much.

That she did.
She... She died when I was young.

I'm sure that if she saw you today,

the person you have become,

she would be proud of you.

I want to get back to my questions.

You wanted to meet my special friends
from the Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

No, I asked you about the burden you carry.

[HUMS]

[IN DEEP VOICE]
I am King Friday XIII.

Lloyd Vogel, the journalist, I presume.

[IN NORMAL VOICE]
And here's Daniel Striped Tiger.

Now, sometimes Daniel is too shy to talk,
but...

But that's okay, Daniel.

Have you met Daniel?

Not officially, no.

[IN HIGH PITCHED VOICE]
I'd like to meet Old Rabbit.

I don't want to talk about Old Rabbit,
I got to say.

[IN NORMAL VOICE] Well, maybe Lloyd
doesn't feel like talking today, Daniel.

And... And that's okay.

Can you put the puppet down, Fred?

You stopped making the show
in the mid-'70s for three years.

Why'd you quit?

Well, at that point, I felt the program had
covered all the major facets of childhood.

And what brought you back? Money?

Boredom?

My sons had grown into teenagers
and we were struggling.

We all were, and...

I realized then that there was still
so much more to talk about.

I can't imagine it was easy...

growing up with you as a father.

Until recently,
my oldest never told people about me.

He's very private and that's okay.

And my youngest son, he...

He genuinely tested me.

But, eventually, we found our way,
and now I'm very proud of both of them.

But you are right, Lloyd.

It couldn't have been easy on them.

Thank you.

Thank you for that perspective.

[SIGHS]

You're welcome.

Is that not the answer you were hoping for?

Being a parent
does not mean being a perfect parent?

You might be experiencing some of that now
with your son.

And...

I've been thinking a lot
about you and your father.

Did you work out your disagreement?

This is ridiculous.

- Lloyd, where are you going?
- We're done. Thanks. Been a real pleasure.

[DOOR OPENS, THEN SHUTS]

Mercy.

[♪♪]

ANDREA:
Heh, heh. He's so quiet with you.

I'm good with babies.

Aren't 17?7?

Hey, hey!

Come on, sit down.
We... We cooked you some takeout.

They brought pizza.

Lloyd, this is Dorothy.

Hello.

Can't you just say hello?

Where's your manners?

I'm sorry.

I think we should go.

I had an idea, okay?

Maybe we'd eat some food,
we'd talk like people.

I messed things up at the wedding.

Of course, you know, you didn't help, but...

I get it.

And you let me sit out there in my car
on the street for two nights...

like I'm homeless,
like I'm some kind of a bum.

- Jerry, you're not helping.
- JERRY: Well, he won't say a word.

You came here to introduce me to her?

Yeah.

To Dorothy.

LLOYD:
Hi, Dorothy.

Hi, Lloyd.

Okay, you did what you came here to do.
Now I want you to leave.

Lloyd.

I may never come back here.

So, please, listen to me.

Dorothy and I have been together and in love
for 15 years.

He left as soon as Mom got sick.

Did you know that?
Couldn't even wait for her to die.

She really didn't want me there.

Because you were sleeping around
while she was dying.

I know.

I know it!

Took me years to get myself together.

Dorothy's why I'm standing here.

She helped me grow the hell up!

You know what they tell you about people
when they're dying?

They tell you it's peaceful,
that they just slip away.

Mom screamed... when she went.
Did you know that?

She screamed until she passed out.

And then they came in and revived her,
and she went right back to it.

It was just me, Lorraine and the nurses.

Sign the paperwork, pack up the house,
put her in the ground.

- Jerry?
- Come on, Lloyd.

[BABY CRYING]

JERRY:
Oh, God, my jaw.

Jerry?

[JERRY GROANS]

Jerry.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

I'll call 911. Lloyd, do something!

[♪♪]

DOROTHY:
Just breathe. Breathe. Look at me.

ANDREA: Hello?
DOROTHY: I'm right here.

Yes, we have a man who's collapsed.

Yeah, we don't know.
I don't... Is he breathing?

DOROTHY: Yeah.
ANDREA: He's breathing. Yes. He's breathing.

It may be a heart attack.

Lloyd, do something!

DOCTOR: The cardiac MRI revealed
more extensive stenosis than we thought.

An operation at this time,
the risk of infection alone...

[SOBS]

ANDREA:
You ready to sleep?

Had enough? You good?

Okay, come on.

Know anything?

I hate hospitals.

You should go home and get him to bed.

No.

I don't want to leave you here.

I'm not staying here.

Okay.

Let's all go together.

No, I have to go to Pittsburgh.

- Right now?
- Yeah, I have to work.

With your dad like this?

I have a deadline.

I'm sure Ellen would understand
if you tell her what's happening.

I don't want to. I... I wanna go
to Pittsburgh. I wanna do my job.

- This shouldn't be a surprise to you.
- Hey, don't talk to me like that.

You seem to think
that now that we have a kid,

I shouldn't care about all the things
I have always cared about

because you don't anymore.

I still care about my work.

I have never asked you
to stop caring about your work.

- I've gotta go.
- Why?

Everyone who's important
is in this hospital right now.

Can't you be on my side?

For once?

You used to be on my side.

I am telling you this
because I am on your side.

Now is not the time to go to work.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

I've... I've gotta go
if I'm gonna make Pittsburgh by morning.

Fine. I'm gonna go sit with your family
while you go.

[♪♪]

[SIRENS WAILING]

Pittsburgh?

- Lloyd, there you are.
- |... I need to talk to Fred.

Very funny, mister.
Get over there. We're ready to shoot.

Right this way.

Come here.

MAN 1: Quiet, please.
- What? What am I doing here?

Well, you're in this episode, of course.
Just wait there.

- Roll sound.
MAN 2: Sound speeds.

- What... "?
- And slate.

And action!

[♪♪]

Oh, it's my good friend, Lloyd.

Lloyd Vogel. You remember Lloyd.

Fred, I don't understand what's going on.
Can we stop? Can we stop?

Are... 7? Are you feeling unwell, Lloyd??

Stop asking me questions.
I ask you the questions.

On today's program,
I thought we would talk about hospitals.

Sometimes, when somebody is sick,

they have to go to a hospital.

I hate hospitals.

A hospital is a place where people go.

Okay.

Would you like to pretend
you're in a hospital?

No!

[TROLLEY WHISTLE BLOWS]

- Hello, Old Rabbit.
LLOYD: What?

[♪♪]

Old Rabbit, I presume.

I'm not... I don't... Where's...? Where's Fred?

I've been waiting to meet you, Old Rabbit.

I'm so happy you came for a visit.

Hello, Lady Aberlin.

Well, hello.

Hello, Old Rabbit.

- Oh, my God.
- We were discussing hospitals.

Well, a hospital is where you go
when your body is hurt.

But what do you do
when your feelings are hurt?

Why, you talk about them.

[♪♪]

Hey, peanut.

Hi, Mom.

I know you think you're doing this for me...

holding on to this anger.

I don't need it.

ROGERS:
Lloyd?

Lloyd?

BILL: What happened?
WOMAN 1: I don't know.

He just... He just collapsed.
BILL: Is he okay?

WOMAN 1: Can somebody get...?
WOMAN 2: I'll get help.

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING ON PIANO]

Turn.

Oh, good.

You're awake.

Oh, my goodness. If I knew you were there,
I would have stopped all this noise.

No, no, no, that was... It was beautiful.

Now, you must be very hungry, Lloyd.
Let me get my jacket, and we'll go out.

I... I should go.

Oh, no, no. Nonsense, nonsense.

ROGERS:
Oh, look at this. Thank you so much.

Enjoy.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Are you a vegetarian?

I just can't imagine eating...

anything with a mother.

Bill was right.

You...

love people like me.

What are people like you?

I've never met anyone like you
in my entire life.

Broken people.

I don't think you are broken.

I know you are a man of conviction.

A person who knows the difference
between what is wrong and what is right.

Try to remember
that your relationship with your father...

also helped to shape those parts.

He helped you become what you are.

Would you do something with me, Lloyd?

It's an exercise I like to do sometimes.

We'll just take a minute

and think about all the people
who loved us into being.

I... 1 can't do that.

They will come to you.

Just one minute of silence.

Thank you for doing that with me.

I feel so much better.

[♪♪]

So the way I left...

Was messed up.

- Yes, I should have called you.
- You shouldn't have left.

The doctor came out to speak to you.
I didn't know what to tell her.

I really didn't know what to tell your dad.

And on top of that,
I tried to get a cab home.

Of course, I couldn't get one,
so I had to take the train at midnight.

People were looking at me with Gavin like...

someone was gonna call Child Services.

I know you're trying to apologize,
but that doesn't mean it gets to be easy.

Okay, talk.

Can... 7?

Can we sit?

Is he down?

Finally.

Listen.

I... I realize
I need to deal with my feelings.

When I'm scared...

Which I was in the hospital,
and I have been...

for a long time.

...1 get really angry.

And I know it's a way of saying,
"I can't deal with this.

Get away from me."
But that's not what I want.

It's actually the opposite of what I want.

You and Gavin...

you're what I want.

I'm sorry.

I have to go and see Jerry.

He's dying.

I know.

My dad is dying.

Did you know about me...

and my sister?

Not... Not until very recently.

What about my mom?

When he got sick last year,

after the first episode, he...

He started to talk

and tell me things
that I wish he'd told me a long time ago.

[♪♪]

MAN:
Whose one-day cash winnings total...

JERRY:
We got bourbon, you know.

- And now, here is the host of Jeopardy!
- Mean, someone should drink it.

No, thanks.

Not even beer?

Oh, do you have...? Yeah, yeah, I'll...
I'll drink a beer if it'll make you happy.

No, we don't have beer.

Don't do it because it'd make me happy.
Do it because you wanna do it.

You don't have a beer,
and I don't want a beer, so...

So don't drink anything.

Just dehydrate.

[SIGHS]

Lloyd...

I am sorry for leaving you and your sister.

It was...

It was selfish.

And it was cruel.

Will you look at me?

I am so sorry, son.

It's not fair, you know?

I think...

I'm just now
starting to figure out how to live my life.

I always loved you.

[♪♪]

I love you too...

Dad.

[BABY COOS]

Hey.

- Hm.
- What?

It's stupid.

It's like 10,000 words.

Yeah.

It's not really about Mister Rogers.

- I Know.
- I mean, it is, but...

it's so you.

You never talk about this stuff.

Nope.

It's good.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Lloyd, I love it.

- You do?
- Yes. It's gonna be the cover.

[♪♪]

[SNICKERING]

Right off the bat, about the wedding...

Whatever.
It was the most entertaining one yet.

I'm just glad you're here.

Don't go to Martha's Vineyard.

- Why not? It's my honeymoon. I deserve it.
- Absolutely, you do.

No, it's not a question of entitlement.
You're not gonna like it.

It's a bunch of rich jerks.
And it's freezing.

You're gonna freeze to death
with a bunch of rich jerks.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

JERRY:
Who's here?

ROGERS:
Ah. I'm in the right place.

- Come on in.
- Lloyd.

Holy crap.

- Andrea.
- Hi, Fred.

Such a pleasure to finally see you.

- Can I take this for you?
- Oh, thank you. Yes.

Hello, Mister Rogers.

Hello.

Hello there.

Hi, Gavin.

Hello. I hope you and I
can be friends someday.

Mr. Vogel.

May I call you Jerry?

Yes, sir.

You certainly may.

Lloyd, Joanne adored your article, as did I.

Andrea, are you feeling better
about day care?

A little.

Maybe.

What? You're not the only one
who talks to Fred.

Mister Rogers,
is it true you're a sharpshooter?

Navy SEAL.

No, I'm afraid not.

What the hell kind of insane question
was that?

I heard it.

Andrea, where'd you guys go
on your honeymoon?

Well, we eloped in Maui,
so we were kind of already on our honeymoon.

- I would've gone.
- You weren't invited.

Hey. Lloyd, he's embarrassed by us.

I'm kidding.

I know.

Maybe we should do a family vacation.

What do you think about that, Dad?

Should we dip our toes in the ocean
together?

Oh, that sounds so nice.

Crash your honeymoon?

Count me in.

If I'm still here.

You know,

death is something
many of us are uncomfortable speaking about.

But to die is to be human.

And anything human is mentionable.

Anything mentionable is manageable.

Anything mentionable is manageable.

You got to send me a copy.

Joanne will love this when she sees it.

It'd be so much cooler if he was in this.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

ROGERS:
I should get going.

I'll walk you out.

TODD:
I got these.

[WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY]

Thank you.

[♪♪]

Hey. What...?

What did you say to Jerry?

I asked him to pray for me.

I figure anyone who is going through
what he is going through

must be awfully close to God.

- Lloyd.
- Bill.

Read the article.

And?

Stay home with Gavin.

Let you go back to work

- I want to.
- Really?

You?

Gavin and I already discussed it.

We both agree.
