Arthur: Hey, everyone, I have great... news! Prunella: Two things. ALL: What, Arthur? Mr. Rogers is coming to school tomorrow. Buster: Wow! really? Mr. Rogers? That's... MUFFY: Ahem. Buster: What's the matter? Muffy: Mister Rogers, Do they think we're babies or something? Binky: Oh, I adore Mr. Rogers. (singing) It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood... Prunella: What's the second thing, Arthur? Arthur: Um... nothing, never mind. Mister ROGERS: You look a little sad, Arthur. D.W.: He always looks like that even when you're staying with us, Mister Rogers. Maybe we'll sing a song and cheer him up. Arthur: No, no, it's all right.

Mister Rogers: I wondered where you were hiding. Arthur: I think maybe I'm sick. In fact, I may be too sick to go to school tomorrow or even ever again. Mister Rogers: If I'm feeling mad or sad or glad about something I try to tell somebody about it. Arthur: I just don't want everyone to think I'm a... that I like... I mean... Mister Rogers:  You didn't want them to think you're a little kid anymore. Arthur: Yeah... I mean, no offense. Mister Rogers: Sometimes you feel like you're too old for certain things. Arthur: I just don't want people to make fun of me. Mister Rogers:  Real friends don't make fun of real friends. And your friends seem like real friends. They all seem to be concerned about you. Arthur: At least nobody at school watches the news.
