- [Mr. Rogers is getting ready to leave.]
- Mr. Rogers: [while hanging up his sweater] There's something that I want to show you outside. Wait 'til I get my jacket on and I'll show it to you.
- [Mr. Rogers get his jacket out of the closet and puts it on.]
- Mr. Rogers: I like to be truthful with you. Mm-hmm.
- [With his feet out of sight, Mr. Rogers takes off his sneakers and puts on his dress shoes, then he picks up a small bag and a clay dinosaur that he made, then he walks up to the front door.]
- Mr. Rogers: Come with me.
- [He walks out the front door and on to the porch.]
- Mr. Rogers: Right around here.
- [He walks down the sidewalk.]
- Mr. Rogers: I just want to show you how we make part of OUR television program.
- [He walks up to the toy neighborhood used on the show.]
- Mr. Rogers: You know the houses and the streets and the cars that you see at the beginning of our program? Well...
- [He moves his clay dinosaur along the toy neighborhood.]
- Mr. Rogers: ...that's what THIS model is. You see, I could take my brontosaurus... and move it right along these streets. And it would look VERY, very big... in with these houses. Mm-hmm. It could go right along that street there...
- [He points to one of the houses with the dinosaur's tail.]
- Mr. Rogers: ...and that's... my pretend house right there -- my television house. It's such a good feeling to be truthful with people.
- [He sings "It's Such a Good Feeling.]
- Mr. Rogers: That's the way it is with all those superheroes, and monsters, and things like that on television and in the movies. They are just pictures or somebody dressed up in costumes. They're not real, but they often look real, and they look so big.
- Mr. Rogers: Sometimes you might have a dream that's really nice like your mom or your dad taking you on a picnic- just the two of you- you and your mom, or you and your dad, and that dream can make you feel all warm inside. But other times, you might have a dream about some big monster that really scares you. Well, that's just a dream-just a thought in your head. And when you wake up, you see that it is not real.
- Mr. Rogers: There are no such things as real monsters. There aren't even any live dinosaurs anymore, even though some people like to get dressed up in costumes to look like them.
