Quotes
-
Lady Elaine Fairchilde : How do you know so much about vacuum sweepers, Purple Panda?
Purple Panda : A long time ago, I was afraid of them. Really afraid of them. And my purple parents explained to me, and showed me.
-
Purple Panda : Do you not like the sound of vacuum sweepers, Lady Elaine?
Lady Elaine Fairchilde : No, I don't.
Purple Panda : What does it make you think about?
Lady Elaine Fairchilde : Uh, the wind blowing me away.
Purple Panda : And what else?
Lady Elaine Fairchilde : Oh, eating me up and never being here again.
Charles R. Aber : But vacuum sweepers don't do that to people.
Lady Elaine Fairchilde : They do that to dirt. I've seen them.
Lady Aberlin : But people aren't dirt, Lady Elaine.
Lady Elaine Fairchilde : But what if people get dirty?
Lady Aberlin : Well, they're still not dirt.
Charles R. Aber : And vacuum sweepers would never blow them away or suck them up.
Lady Elaine Fairchilde : Never?
Purple Panda : Never people or pandas.
Lady Elaine Fairchilde : Do you believe them, Tuesday?
Prince Tuesday : Oh yes, Auntie Lady Elaine. Purple Panda helped me understand that a long time ago.
-
Mr. Rogers : So Lady Elaine was afraid of vacuum sweepers, and Purple Panda was able to help her understand that vacuum sweepers could never sweep her up. His parents have helped him understand it, and he was able to help others. I'm so proud of that.
-
Mr. Rogers : You know, it would've been so much easier on everybody if Lady Elaine had only talked about her feelings about sweepers with people early on. She would've saved a lot of trouble for herself and everyone else. Whenever you have a worry or scary, I hope you can talk about it with someone you love. That can really help.
