Quotes 

• Mr. Rogers : I was just thinking. Did you ever hear loud, scary sounds on television? Well, some television programs are loud and scary, with people shooting and hitting other people. You know, you can do something about that. When you see scary television, you can turn it off. And when you do turn it off, that will show that YOU'RE the strongest of them all. It takes a very strong person to be able to turn off scary TV. Mmm-hmm. That's one of the ways you'll be able to tell that you're really growing. You're learning so many important things, and I'm so proud of you.

• Mayor Maggie : Hear that noise?

  Lady Aberlin : Oh, yes. That's... uh, X and Hen's warning signal.

  King Friday XIII : Er, we are tired of those noises.

  Mayor Maggie : Both here and in Westwood.

  King Friday XIII : You may tell them there is nothing to fear so they can stop their warnings, Lady Aberlin.

  Lady Aberlin : Easier said than done, but I'll try again.

  King Friday XIII : Very good.

• Mr. Rogers : I love to watch fish, wherever they may be. They seem so quiet.

• Mr. Rogers : [after singing "Peace and Quiet']  And we all need quiet times to grow, too. DO you have a place that you can go to be quiet when you want?

• Mayor Maggie : Oh, do you have a report for us?

  Lady Aberlin : Yes. It has something to do with looking different.

  King Friday XIII : Well, you certainly look different in that fish costume.

  Mayor Maggie : But can we stop the noise for keeps?

  Lady Aberlin : Yes, I'm sure we can.
