Quotes 

• Mr. Rogers : Sometimes it's fun to play and pretend about super things. But you know, people can get hurt if they play at it too long, or believe it too much. I've heard of a boy who put on a Superman costume and tried to fly out a window, and he got badly hurt.

• Prince Tuesday : And here I go.

  [King Friday XIII's fanfare plays] 

  Prince Tuesday : See? Even the trumpets play when I leave.

  King Friday XIII : [Enters]  Niece Aberlin, I presume?

  Lady Aberlin : Correct as usual, Uncle Friday. I wondered why those trumpets were playing.

  King Friday XIII : My royal fanfare, of course.

  Lady Aberlin : Prince Tuesday thought they were for him.

  King Friday XIII : Some days Prince Tuesday thinks everything is for him.

• Harriet Elizabeth Cow : Have you been having some dreams about monsters, Prince Tuesday?

  Prince Tuesday : Yes, sometimes. But my Superfunnel will take care of everything! I could make this whole place fall down if I wanted to.

  Daniel Striped Tiger : Oh, what would happen to all of us?

  Prince Tuesday : I might save you with my Superfunnel!

  Ana Platypus : Or I could fly in and save you with my Super-skirt.

  Prince Tuesday : Your Super-skirt? How does that work?

  Ana Platypus : Well I just put on my Super-skirt and I can fly anywhere I want to. And I can save anybody from all the scary things.

  Daniel Striped Tiger : Well I hope somebody would save me. Because I think that all this is pretty scary talk.

  Harriet Elizabeth Cow : Yes, it can be scary for some to hear about monsters and super things, that's for sure.

• Lady Elaine Fairchilde : [Presents some model dinosaurs]  But the real ones are much bigger than these models.

  Lady Aberlin : I know, and they lived a long, long time ago. And nobody in our world has ever seen one.

  Lady Elaine Fairchilde : No. Not yet.

  Lady Aberlin : What did you say?

  Lady Elaine Fairchilde : Oh, uh, I was just talking to myself.

• Bob Trow : [Bob shows Mr. Rogers some wooden blocks set up like dominoes]  Do you have a super-something to push these down with? You can't do this the way you did those. You need a super-something to push the first one down. There are some super-things right there. Make your choice.

  Mr. Rogers : Well... 'Guess I better not use the paint.

  [Picks up a funnel] 

  Mr. Rogers : How about a super-funnel?

  Bob Trow : Good. "Fun with a funnel", we'll call it.

• Lady Elaine Fairchilde : My Boomrang Toomerang Soomerang is the most powerful of all.

  Lady Aberlin : Oh Lady Elaine, we all know you're powerful. You just keep having to prove it to yourself.
