- Mr. Rogers: Now I'm all set with the pot and the seed, and I'm all set to do some potting. That sounds a little like "potty", doesn't it? Well, this is a little pot, and I'm going to put some earth in it to plant this seed. So, it's called potting.
- Mr. Rogers: [waters his bean seed] Now underneath this soil, something's happening. Something's beginning to grow and change, even if we can't see it here.
- Handyman Negri: [singing] We're not to be afraid of anything,/Of anything at all./We're not to be afraid. We're not to be afraid./The king says fear nothing at all.
- King Friday XIII: Do you have further news concerning the Big thing?
- Charles R. Aber: Yes, sir. I do.
- King Friday XIII: Uh-huh, you may proceed.
- Charles R. Aber: The upper two quadrants seem to be superseding the lower two in a circular configuration at a rate of 3 for the former to every 2.7 for the latter, giving it the Big Thing a constant velocity of nearly 1.096.
- King Friday XIII: At that rate, if it should remain on its present course, it should arrive here in this neighborhood in 2-8/9.
- Charles R. Aber: Wow! That's exactly correct, King Friday.
- King Friday XIII: Yes.
- Mayor Maggie: So what do you think you'll do about it?
- King Friday XIII: I'm formulating a plan.
- Mr. Rogers: Growing is learning to take better and better care of yourself, and everyone, and everything around you. And as you grow that way, it can help to give you such a good feeling about yourself and the people who help you to grow.
