Fraggle Rock (1983–1987): Season 1, Episode 13 - We Love You, Wembley - full transcript

Wembley falls in love with a Fraggle named Lou. But are Wembley's feelings for real or is he under a different influence? It's hard to tell because Marjory the Trash Heap gave him a love potion!

Sprocket, wake up!

Look what I've found.

Sprocket, come here, boy.

Do you know what this is?

You think you know what it is
but you don't.

You think it's a chandelier.

Well, it looks like a chandelier.

In fact it is a chandelier.

But when I'm finished with it
it will also be a smoke detector

and a burglar alarm.

How do you like that?



This time even I am impressed.

I'm so glad you agree, Sprocket.

But you always agree,
that's what I love about you.

You're so loyal,
so helpful,

so tired.

Come on, Sprocky,
gonna help me, aren't you?

A dog is a man's best friend
and friends help.

Attaboy.
I knew you would.

I said I'd help, Mockey.
Here's the rock.

Where is everybody?

-Hey, Wembley, you in here?
-Yeah, red.

Hey. Red,
have you seen Wembley?

He is in here, Gobo.

Ready to help me with my
racket balancing?



Sure, Red.

Hey, Wembley,

Are you going to come with me
to get the postcard
from my uncle Traveling Matt?

You bet.
I always do that.

Wembley, did you find a rock
for my still life?

It goes right in there.

I sure found the rock
and it's right here
just like I promised.

It's a bit lumpy.

Don't worry,
I'll get another one.

-My clothesline!
-Sorry, Boober.

I'll fix it for you, Boober.

-Come on, Wemb.
-All right, Gobo.

-Come on, Wembley.
-All right, Red.

I guess I need more paint.

Don't worry about the rock,
I'll get another one for you.

But I told Gobo
and I told Red...

But how do you think I feel.
My clothesline is broken.

I'll help you fix it, Boober.

But how?

If I don't get those socks
hung up soon they'll mildew.

There's not even any place to hang
anything around here.

Unless...

-Wembley, I think you could do it.
-What?

A clothesline.
You'd be perfect.

-Me a clothesline?
-Yes, you said you'd help.

Think of it as a calling.

I will get the socks.

Meet me in 5 minutes
in the great hall.

I'll be a clothesline.

What about Gobo's postcard
and Red's racket and Mockey's rock?

I'll never get it all done.

How come every time
I take a walk and meet somebody,

And the somebody's got something to do?

And how come every time they say,
"I need a special helper,"

And the special helper's gotta be you?

Well everybody's got somebody helpin'.
Ain't it strange?

How come they won't help me
for a change?

Give it a try.
It's easy as pie.

It's something you could do
on your own.

I'm easily found
I'm always around

Just knock on my door
and I'm home

And how come every—

Hey, Wembley. Over here.
Keep your eyes on the racket.

I'm watching you, Red.

I'm ready for you, Wembley.

-I'll be—
-Wembley!

Hey, Wembley, come on.
Let's go get the postcard.

-Coming!
-The rock, Wembley?

Everybody's got somebody helping.
Ain't it strange?

How come they won't help me for a change?

Give it a try
It's easy as pie

It's something you could do
on your own

I'm easily found
I'm always around

Just knock on my door
and I'm home

Wembley!

I need a clothes line, Wembley.

Wembley!

And how come every time I—

Hey, Wembley, come on.
Let's go.

-Coming.
-Wembley.

Not yet.

Oh, oh, look Wembley.
I almost got it.

Everybody's got somebody helping
Ain't it strange?

How come they won't help me
for a change?

Wembley,
have you seen a rock yet?

Everybody's got somebody helping
Ain't it strange?

How come they won't help me
for a change?

How is this one, Mockey?

That's beautiful but
I don't think I'll use a rock in a painting.

I think cheese would be a lot prettier.

Sure. I'll look for some cheese, then.

Oh, no.

Help!

Help somebody!

How did such a small Fraggle
get in such a big mess?

I was easy, really.

I see. So you wanna lie here
with a bolder on your belly.

Not exactly.

He could have fooled me.
Let me help.

Now, what can I get for you?

Get for me?
You wanna get something for me?

Sure. You just got hit
by a falling rock.

Tell you what:
I'll make you a moss pack.

Very soothing
after rock falls.

Don't move.
Relax.

I'll take care of you.

You will?

Ok, Wembley, time to be a clothesline.
On your feet.

Just put your arms straight out
to the sides.

Relax, I'll take care of you.

Don't worry about me.
Just take care of my socks.

That's what she said:
"relax, I'll take care of you"

A talent like yours
should be taken care of.

After all there's not many Fraggles
who have a nose you can hang a pair of socks on.

She helped me.
Me, Wembley!

And I don't even know her name.

There. All finished.
Don't move!

I'll be back in a couple of hours.

Here's your moss pack.

What's all this?

I promised Boober...

Well, I promise you
you'll feel a lot better
without all these socks.

Unless, of course,
you want them there. Do you?

Not really.

Well, put your arms down.

How does that feel now?

-That's great, thanks.
-You're welcome.

Wait, please.

Say it!

No, that's not what I meant.

What I wanted to ask...

-What's your name?
-Lou. What's yours?

My name is Wembley.

Pleased to meet you, Wembley.

Are you hungry?

I was just gonna go
and get a Doozer stick.

Want to come along?

Now, that's my kind of Fraggle.

Did Wembley come through here?
I haven't seen him for a long time.

Neither have I.
But don't worry, he's probably out
getting cheese.

Hi, guys.
Guess what.

I just met a really neat Fraggle.

What's his name?

Her name. It's Lou.

Her name?

I know Lou.
She's on my rock rolling squad.

Nice Fraggle.

Nice is right,
she's fantastic.

She helped me—see?
and I like her.

And I 'd like to get
to know her a lot better.

You would?

There's no time for that now.

We've got to get the card
from my uncle Traveling Matt.

Wembley, let me see.

Yes, I can tell.
Our little Wembley is in love.

In love?
I didn't say that.

Why not?
It's perfect.

You meet a strange
and beautiful Fraggle,

she helps you out,
your heart pounds,

your eyes meet and
you fall in love.

-I do?
-Yes, of course.

It's your destiny.
You must follow your heart.

She's nice
and I like her

and she makes a great moss pack.

You see, you are in love.

No, he's not.

Of course he is.

I am?

I've never been in love before,
what do I do?

You help me get my postcard
from my uncle Traveling Matt.

Right.

What do you do, Wembley?
Do?

You think about your Lou.
You adore her, you worship her.

You ditch her.

You make her love you.

Make her love me?
How do I do that?

Duck!

You mean if I duck
Lou will love me?

Forget it, Lou will never
love a little wimp like me.

In the first place
you're not a little wimp.

And in the second place,

what's a little wimp like you want
with all this romance stuff anyway?

Outer Space,
that's something to think about.

You wait here,
I'll be right back.

I'm just a little wimp

I guess I'm kind of limp

And how could anyone
Ever have any fun

If she loved a shrimpy,
little wimp?

But you never have to scrimp

When you learn to love a wimp

If you don't like his mug,
You can use him for a rug

If he's sort of badly built,
You can use him for a quilt

If his color is green
You can plant him like a bean

I can truly recommend
A wimp for a friend

So that's why you should learn
to love a wimp

I wonder what's taking Gobo
so long.

I wonder why somebody didn't think
about this before.

That's the burglar alarm!

I wonder what set it off.

Let's test the smoke detector
while we're at it.

That's OK.

Of course, it still works
as a light.

We've done it, Sprocket.

Thanks to you, my loyal dog,
I reinvented the chandelier.

What we're gonna do now is
put it up there.

You want to help?

It won't take long,
I promise.

You hold on for this.

And watch out 'cause it's heavy.

Sprocket, what are you doing up there?

Come down and don't drop it.

Goodness sake.

Hello?

Thanks, Ned,
I appreciate the tip.

Shimmelfinney called to say
the hot-dog man is down the street.

What do you want, the usual?

Two hot-dogs?

Hold the onions, checked.

And don't move,
I'll be back in a minute.

Wembley, listen to this.

Dear nephew Gobo

the silly creatures love
some pretty bizarre things, you know.

And the Fraggle size silly creatures
especially love something very odd.

Naturally I was curious
so I decided to try one for myself.

It seemed to be a silly creatures'
moss pack.

However the foolish thing
didn't even keep my head warm.

I think I'd rather have
the real thing.

Love, your uncle Traveling Matt.

There you are, Wembley,
you poor lovesick soul.

I know the person that can solve
all your problems.

You just come with me.

And does your heart sore
when this Lou Fraggle is near?

Yeah, I guess.

Yes, Madam Heap.

His heart gets very sore.
What should he do?

Nothing. He's obviously in love.

See? I told you.

Enjoy it. Relax.

Go with the flow.
Follow your nose.

Not hard with a nose like that.

You can hang a pair of socks
on that nose.

Excuse me, madam Heap, but
what should he do to make Lou love him?

Well, young Fraggle,
Love is not found in the market.

It's not found under any bush,
I can tell you.

I think I should just forget
the whole thing and go home.

No, it's found right here.

Come on, boys,
where are those love potions.

help me find the stuff.

No. 6?

How about No. 27?

No, boys, I want the real stuff.

No. 9.

Not No. 9!

Not No. 9,
whatever it is!

There you go.

This is a powerful
love potion.

One sniff and your Lou Fraggle
will love you like crazy.

Listen to this.

Lover, lover, number 9,
Don't you pout and don't you whine

She will love you every time

Lover, lover, number 9

Lover, lover, number 9
Don't you pout and don't you whine

She will love you every time

Lover, lover, number 9

Lover, lover, number 9

The Trash Heap
has spoken.

He'll use it right away.

-Oh, Wembley, isn't it romantic?
-Sort of, I guess.

Lover, lover, number 9
Don't you pout and don't you whine

She will love you every time

Lover, lover, number 9

Nuts. I forgot to tell them
that the potion only lasts for 20 minutes.

Never mind, dear.
They'll find out soon enough.

In about half an hour.

Just think.

One sniff of that potion
and Lou will be yours.

She will gaze deeply into your eyes
and she will fall hopelessly in love.

Mockey, don't you think
that Gorg will hear you?

Then you will take her
in your little green arms

and you'll run with the wind
to carve a new life.

You've got to be quiet!

I know lots of terrible things
to do to a Fraggle.

Wembley, use the love potion.

But I don't wanna love a Gorg.

No. Make the Gorg love you, silly.

Oh, yeah.

First I'm gonna smash you.

Then I'm gonna take you back to my room
and put you in a little dark cage.

Then I'm gonna feed you buns.

Then I'm gonna __

Then I'm going to kiss you 99.

Then I'm going to worship
the ground you walk on.

This stuff really works.

What can I do,
love of my life?

Put me down this instant.

Yes, my darling.

Oh, no. The potion is gone.

Nobody breathe.

Wembley, Wembley!

Hold your nose, Red.

Hold my nose?

Darling.

Sweetheart.

Sugar lips.

Wembley, Wembley, number 9,
You're so fair and you're so fine

Love you till the end of time,

Wembley, Wembley, number 9

What is this, guys?
This is a big mistake.

You see, there was
this love potion.

Wembley, Wembley, number 9,
You're so fair and you're so fine

Love you till the end of time

Wembley, Wembley, number 9

Wembley, Wembley, number 9,
You're so fair and you're so fine

Love you till the end of time

Wembley, Wembley, number 9

Why am I letting them
do this to me?

The love potion should be
wearing off about now.

Oh, well,
love him or leave him.

Love you till the end of time

What was that all about?

Faulty air vent.
Back to work.

What happened?

Correct me if I'm wrong but
am I holding Wembley?

You are.

Use your chance.
You must declare your love

and demand that
it be requited.

But I can't.

Just speak from your throbbing heart.

I can't.

-Hi, Lou.
-Hi, Wembley. How are you?

Just say "Lou, I love you".
Go on.

Lou, I love you, go on.

What?

Great start.

Get to the part about
the undying passion.

No, Mockey, I won't.

What's going on?

Everybody's trying to tell me
how I feel about you.

How do you feel about me?

I like you
and I like being with you

and I'd like doing
stuff together.

Terrific.
What would you like to do?

See, you guys?
I've had a terrible time today.

I've looking for rocks
and cheese

and going to outer space
and balancing rackets,

and drying socks
and spilling love potion,

all at the same time.

And all for you, guys.

Only Lou asked me
what I'd like to do.

We didn't mean to do all that.

Don't get me wrong.

I'll be happy to help you
with all those things later

but one at a time.

Right now, I'm gonna spend time
with my pal Lou.

Go for it.

-I'm chipper as a chimp
-My heart is like a blimp

And how could anyone
Ever have any fun

If she never learned
to love a wimp?

I'm sorry but I'm simp-
Ly mad about my wimp

-'Cause I really like his mug
-And I'm better than a rug

-And he's awful nicely built
-And I'm warmer than a quilt

-And his color is green
-And I'm bigger than a bean

We can truly recommend
A wimp for a friend

So that's why I have learned
to love a wimp

Here we go, Sprocky.
Your favorite!

Sprocket.

What happened?

Whose idea was this damn
chandelier anyway?

I hate chandeliers.

Are you alright?

Sprocket, speak to me.

Oh, I see.

Poor old boy,
fell asleep.

I guess I worked him
pretty hard today.

But I don't know what
I'd do without him.

Behind every great man
there's a dog, huh?

And behind every great dog
there's a hot dog.

There you go.
