Quotes 

• King Friday XIII : [reciting the royal version of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"]  Scintillate, Scintillate diminutive stellar orb. How inexplicable to me seems this stupendous problem of your existance. Elevated at such at an imeasurable distance, in an apparently perpendicular direction from this terrestrial planet which we occupy. Resembling in thy dazzeling and unapproachable efulgance, a gem of purist carbon, set solitaire in a university of space.

• Mister Rogers : I've been thinking about people who work at night, because you know, some jobs have to get done in the nighttime. So while many of us are asleep, there are a lot of people who are up working.

• Lady Aberlin : I have a problem.

  Daniel Striped Tiger : What is it?

  Lady Aberlin : Well, I think that something is bothering our visitor from the sky, but I don't know what it is.

  Daniel Striped Tiger : Can't it tell you?

  Lady Aberlin : It tries to, but I can't make out its language.

  Daniel Striped Tiger : Does it talk star talk?

  Lady Aberlin : I don't know what it is. Itjust sounds like a lot of mes and thees together to me.

  Daniel Striped Tiger : That sounds nice though.

  Lady Aberlin : But do you think you could understand that?

  Daniel Striped Tiger : I can try.

• Mister Rogers : [turning his globe of the world]  You know, there are some people in the world who are just going to bed right now, and some people who are sound asleep, and some people who are just getting up, an some who are wide awake doing all sorts of things with their day. What a wonderful world we have, and it's such a good feeling to know that there are so many people who care about it and care about all of us who live in it.

• Mister Rogers : There are many people who work at night.

  Mr. McFeely : That's for sure. You know, some of us think when we go to bed, that everything stops when we are asleep. But there's always somebody taking care of some thing 24 hours a day.

  Mister Rogers : And night.

  Mr. McFeely : Oh, that's for sure.
