Quotes
Handyman Negri: [about a strange spare part they got from Corny] I was wondering, do you think it may be a part of a windmill or something like that?
King Friday XIII: I have reason to believe that it might be part of a bomb.
Handyman Negri: A bomb?
King Friday XIII: Yes, so here is your assignment, Handyman Negri: you are to order a million of these from Cornflake S. Pecially and conscript everyone in the neighborhood to help put the bombs together.
Handyman Negri: But King Friday...
King Friday XIII: No buts about it, Handyman, this is serious business.
Handyman Negri: Yes, sire, but a million of them?
King Friday XIII: Yes, a million. If Southwood has a million, we will have a million and ONE.
Handyman Negri: I see.
King Friday XIII: You have your work to do. I must get in touch with our known allies.

The 2nd part of a lost week of Mister Rogers' programs from the Modern Era.

In this second part of this lost week of shows, Rogers visits the US Mint in Phili to learn how coins are made for people to spend. But according to some research I did once, there is also another mint located in Denver, Colorado, as well as a couple of other places in the States. Rogers also said that he'd take the viewers to another US mint where paper money is made, but no arrangements have ever been made for that kind of visit. If you want to know how paper money is made, try looking on YouTube for a video on that.

In Make-Believe, King Friday thinks Southwood is going to have a war based on some mysterious parts that Cornflake S. Pecially had been manufacturing for them. The king thinks the pieces might be parts for making bombs, but there seems to be a big misunderstanding. Lady Elaine Fairchilde even refuses to help the neighbors assemble bombs. They ought to get the facts before doing something dramatic like that.

Rogers tells the viewers that there are different ways to deal with anger, even when there is war taking place somewhere in the world like right now.
