- Mr. Rogers: [rolls up his sleeve and points to his arm] This is where I'll get the immunization, and the medicine that they put into me is to help me stay healthy.
- [rolls down his sleeve]
- Mr. Rogers: How you ever had an immunization? Some people call it a shot, or an injection.
- Mr. Rogers: [after getting an immunization] I can hardly feel that. Sometimes it pinches more than others.
- Mr. Rogers: When I was little and had to go to the doctor for a lot of shots and things, I would often get out my nurse and doctor kit and play about it.
- [takes out a doctor kit and a rag doll from his hutch]
- Mr. Rogers: And I had a rag doll like this named Phil, and I used to do a lot of things to him.
- [plays like he's a doctor, and the doll is the patient]
- Mr. Rogers: You know, pretend that I was listening to his insides, and use an otoscope and pretend that I was looking in his ears, and even give an injection. To Phil.
- [gives the doll an injection]
- Mr. Rogers: I found that it helped my feelings to play about things that were scary to me. I think playing about it helped me to be braver about such things. I really do.
- Queen Sara Saturday: [regarding the cereal snow covering Daniel's Clock] I guess Daniel wil have to go do it himself.
- Lady Aberlin: Uncle Friday couldn't stop it.
- Queen Sara Saturday: No. Evidently, it takes the person who lives there to stop it.
- King Friday XIII: I have a niece assignment for you. Are you prepared, niece?
- Lady Aberlin: I hope so, uncle.
- King Friday XIII: Uh, you will see to it that Daniel Tiger returns to his Clock and stops the cereal.
- Lady Aberlin: Oh, but Uncle Friday. I don't...
- King Friday XIII: No buts about it, niece. The downpour of cereal must be stopped. We've been told that the one who lives in the Clock is the only one to stop it.
- Lady Aberlin: I hope Daniel will be brave enough to go.
- King Friday XIII: I myself went there and was unharmed.
- Queen Sara Saturday: But you're a brave king, dear.
- King Friday XIII: I believe that Daniel Tiger is a brave tiger. He just doesn't know that he's brave. So carry on, Lady Aberlin.
- Lady Aberlin: I'll do my best, sire.
- Daniel Striped Tiger: [at the Castle] Hi, Lady A.
- Lady Aberlin: Oh, Daniel. I'm so glad to see you.
- Daniel Striped Tiger: Please don't make me go over there.
- Lady Aberlin: Oh, no one would *make* you do anything like that, Daniel.
- Daniel Striped Tiger: I... I'm afraid I'd drown in all that cereal.
- Lady Aberlin: There's a lot of it over there, isn't there?
- Daniel Striped Tiger: Yes, and it's still coming down. Pretty soon, it'll be covering my whole Clock.
- Lady Aberlin: And they say that you're the only one that can make it stop.
- Daniel Striped Tiger: I wish I could do it from here - not have to go over there.
- [points in the direction of his Clock]
- Charles R. Aber: Lady Aberlin, don't you think that Daniel is a brave tiger?
- Lady Aberlin: [to Daniel] I think you're brave and don't know it.
- Charles R. Aber: Maybe that's it.
- Mr. Rogers: Who are some people you like to have near you when you have to do hard things? Having them close by can help you feel brave, can't it?
- dr. Forbes: Do you have any questions about the immunization itself?
- Mr. Rogers: Well, er... I wondered... I know when I was little, I wondered, "Why does the doctor have to put some things in with a needle?" Because I would take other medicines with my mouth. You know, with water.
- dr. Forbes: Well, this type of medication, which is an immunization, we're not able to give by mouth, and it works better this way.
- Mr. Rogers: Works better this way. I see.
- dr. Forbes: And you know that there is a little bit of pain that's associated with it, but it just lasts for a minute. That hurt bothers some children, but to other children, it doesn't matter as much to them.
- Mr. Rogers: It often felt... It often feels like a pinch to me when I get an immunization.
- dr. Forbes: Yes, it does. But it doesn't last very long, does it?
- Mr. Rogers: No. No.
- dr. Forbes: Okay.
