- Chef Brockett: When I was little, I used to wish that I could be as big and strong as a dinosaur. I used to even dream about it.
- Mr. Rogers: I think a lot of people do, Don.
- Mr. Rogers: You know, dinosaurs lived a long, long, long time ago. Long before any people were in the world. They were very, very, very big creatures.
- Mr. Rogers: I wonder what dinosaurs ate. They must've eaten a lot because they were so big. Of course, there were many kinds of dinosaurs, and they aren't living anymore in the world. No, no more on the earth. It's fine to wonder about them. There are lots of things to wonder about in this world.
- Lady Aberlin: [Ana falls out of X's tree, trying to fly. Lady Aberlin catches her just in time] What is going on here?
- X the Owl: Ana was trying to fly.
- Ana Platypus: I was using my Super-skirt and I was going through the air.
- Lady Aberlin: Yes but you were going down and you might have gotten hurt.
- X the Owl: That's right, Ana.
- Lady Aberlin: You have to be really careful with super things.
- Ana Platypus: Well, everybody was doing super things. I just wanted to try.
- Lady Aberlin: Yes, but it's important to do your pretending where it's safe.
- Ana Platypus: I've got my Super-skirt.
- X the Owl: Well your Super-skirt is very nice, but it's just pretend, you know.
- Ana Platypus: I know. But how did you learn to fly?
- X the Owl: Well I just practiced and made my wings go like this.
- [Flaps his wings]
- Ana Platypus: And then what?
- X the Owl: And then I just did it harder and harder and then little by little I learned.
- [Ana begins flapping her arms]
- X the Owl: Um careful, Ana, I don't want you to...
- Ana Platypus: I think I'm flying!
- X the Owl: No, you're FALLING!
- X the Owl: I think that's enough about flying for today. Now Ana, you promised that you'd show me how to walk better. You know, birds don't walk very well and platypuses do.
- Ana Platypus: Oh yes, I can walk real well. Come on, I'll show you. But since you're a bird, you might not be able to learn right away.
- Prince Tuesday: If I wanted to, I could take my Superfunnel and knock down this whole museum.
- Lady Elaine Fairchilde: And then what would happen?
- Prince Tuesday: I'd take my Superfunnel and build it right back up again.
- Lady Elaine Fairchilde: You think you're pretty super, don't you?
- Prince Tuesday: I can do anything really strong. My Superfunnel is better than anything!
- Lady Elaine Fairchilde: You think it's better than my Boomerang Toomerang Soomerang, don't you?,
- Prince Tuesday: Well it's just as good I think.
- Lady Elaine Fairchilde: I suppose you think you could even tame a dinosaur.
- Prince Tuesday: There aren't any dinosaurs anymore.
- [pause]
- Prince Tuesday: Are there?
- Lady Elaine Fairchilde: I'm not talking.
- Mr. Rogers: You know, you can't even pretend that you have a supercoat or a superskirt. But the important thing about that kind of play is to be careful, even when you're playing dinosaur.
