Quotes 

• Mister Rogers : [after going through an "imaginary" book with blank pages]  If you made up things for the pages in a book like this, that means you're able to make up a book of your own. That means you can use your imagination, and doing that is one of the best things to help you learn all sorts of things.

• Mister Rogers : [after reading the book, "It Looked Like Spilled Milk"]  Do you ever look at the clouds and think they look like other things? Well, that's one way to use your imagination.

• Mister Rogers : Do you remember Prince Tuesday's rag doll, Tome? In Make-Believe, if two people believe that a rag doll can become a live doll, then it will.

• Handyman Negri : I'm taking this umbrella rocket over to Malcolm Apricot Dinko.

  X the Owl : Oh, we were just playing together.

  Handyman Negri : Oh, what does he look like, X?

  X the Owl : Oh, just like any imaginary friend.

  Handyman Negri : What do you mean?

  X the Owl : He looks like whatever you want him to look like.

  Handyman Negri : But I thought you could see imaginary things through your viewer.

  X the Owl : It's real complicated to explain, Handy. I mean, imaginary things are, you know.

  Handyman Negri : I'm beginning to believe that you can't explain them at all.

  X the Owl : Just enjoy.

• Mister Rogers : You know, making something out of whatever you have at the moment is one of the most important things you can learn to do. Your imagination can help you make so many things.

• Mister Rogers : You know, people need real food when they're hungry - not imaginary food.
