[snoring]

[snoring]

Well? [gasps]

-Oh! Whoa!
-[barking]

[barking]



Come here, Sprocket. I need your help.

[barking]

[barks]

[stammers] What's in there?

-[grunts]
-Oh, one word.

How many letters?

[grunts]

-Oh, come on.
-[whines]

Oh, sounds like...

-[retching]
-Shimmelfinney!

-[whines]
-No, no.

[clears throat]

Choke. Choke.

No, uh... [chuckles]

-Cough. Cough.
-[growls]

Well, I'm trying, Sprockie.

Don't start getting your fur in a frazzle.

[gasping]

Oh, what'd I say? What'd I say? "Fur"?

Fur? You've got fur in your throat?

[moaning]

I don't know what's gotten into you.

Your brain must be gettin' fragile.

[whines]

Oh, no, thanks.
I think I'll stand right where I am.

[groans]

Outer Space gets weirder all the time.

Well, looks the same as always
to me, Gobo.

Oh, what I meant was that--

You're losing your explorer's edge, right?

-No!
-Don't worry.

It happens to everybody.

Speed's the first thing that goes,
and then timing--

Now, wait.

I don't think it's your start,
particularly.

I think it's your turn and pivot

when you're picking up Uncle Matt's card.

Oh. Well, why don't you
go out there and show me?

[stammers] I couldn't do that.

Outer Space belongs to you
and Traveling Matt.

I mean, me going out there,

well, it would just be wrong.

Oh, not at all.

Uncle Matt and I'd love the company.

And I'd love to join you,

but believe me, it's just not right.

Well, I guess I'll have to go
out there again on my own, then.

Explorer's edge or no explorer's edge.

At least I've conquered all my fears.

[stammers]

Fear has nothing to do with it.

It's grace and style we're concerned with.

[groans]

[barks]

-Huh?
-[whines]

-Rag.
-[whines]

Oh! You want me to make
a hole with the awl, is that it?

[whining]

[groans]

Well, what is it? Rag.

Awl.

Rag. Awl.

Rag. Awl. Rag. Awl.

Rag, awl. Rag, awl. Rag, awl. Rag, awl.

I don't know. I--
I can't get it, Sprocket.

[whining]

Oh, don't get into a gaggle.

[frustrated groaning]

All this carrying on,

I've forgotten the real reason
I came here.

I've looked everywhere else.

I have to find the rent money.

Well, I know I put it someplace safe,
but where?

[barking]

And get your nose
out of that old hole, Sprocket.

I'd never hide the money in there.

[barks]

And you're too big to get through
that little opening, anyway.

[door closes]

[gasps]

[clattering]

But I thought I was pretty graceful
getting the card this time, eh?

Well, you didn't keep tight enough control
on your tail.

You might've knocked something over.

-Now, I think--
-"Dear Nephew Gobo,

the silly creatures of this world..."

[Matt] ...Jove rolling stuff around.

They have rollers on everything.

Yellow things,

blue things,

red things,

and even things they sit on.

Why, there are even
some highly-evolved ones

who have grown actual rollers
on their feet.

I can't tell you how thrilling it was
to watch the way these creatures moved.

Ah.

They were so graceful.

You can imagine how happy I was

when one of these creatures
noticed my interest

and gave me some rollers of my own.

I couldn't wait to try it.

I simply had to experience
that wind-in-the-hair feeling for myself.

Whoa!

[groaning]

Believe me,
there's nothing like it in Fraggle Rock.

Keep it that way.

"Love, your Uncle Traveling Matt."

Besides which, you're getting fat.

I am not.

You're getting paunchy,
and it's slowing you down.

You should diet.

Diet?

No more Doozer constructions.

From now on, it's strictly radishes.

Well, then, how about you
going up to the Gorg garden

and getting me the radishes?

Uh, the Gorg garden? By myself?

Uh, oh, that's Mokey's job.

Yeah. Mokey's got what it takes
for that job.

Courage.

What? Listen.

I'l get you all the radishes you want.
[sighs]

Ah, it's okay, Red. I was only kidding.

No, no, no, I want to.

Red, there's nothing wrong
with being afraid of the Gorgs.

I'm not frightened.

I'm going right now. [grunts]

Uh, Red, you don't have to.

Really.

Oh, the crown of the kingdom.

[laughs]

Someday, all of this will be mine.
[laughs]

[Pa Gorg] Junior,
what are you doing in there?

[stammers] Nothing. Nothing.

[Pa Gorg] Sit down and wait for me
so you don't get in trouble.

Oh, okay.

Son, have you seen my favorite crown?

Uh-oh.

[boing]

Uh... Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
[stammers] Here it is, Daddy, sire.

-[laughs]
-[grunts]

The crown your great-great-great-grandpa
entrusted to me.

-Oh!
-Junior, how could you?

Well, it was easy, actually.

You just put it down,
and then you sit on it, and kablam!

One nice, flat crown. [chuckles]

Hey! That was great, huh, Daddy?

Oh, come along, pumpkin.

The skunk cabbage patch
is at its freshest,

and we want to make sure to pick it today.

All right, duckykins.

I'll have more to say to you
when we return.

Aw, Pal

That's not how you announce

-the exit of the king and queen, Junior.
-[Red] Ah, they're going.

Come, now. Do it properly.

Eh, okay.

♪ Bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum bum ♪

Hear ye, hear ye.

The king and queen are now departing
to the wild skunk cabbage patch.

All loyal subjects, bow down and make way.

[stammers] Oh, that's me.

Your Highnesses.

I expect you to make this up to me, boy.

Oh, I will. I'll make it up to you,
Your Majesty, Daddy, sire, sir.

Uh, make way, make way, make way.

Uh, oh, Your Majesty.

Oh, uh, make way, make way, make way.

[Pa Gorg] Button it, Junior.

[stammers] Yes, Daddy.

They're gone.

The Gorgs are all gone.

Now I can get out there,
get a radish, and no problem.

Wonder where it is. Ooh! [groans]

You know, it wasn't that long ago.

I mean, I was up here with Gobo
and I'm sure I saw a Steamlily.

-Oh, I do hope so.
-[knocking]

Steamlilies are such beautiful flowers.

What's that?

Oh, cave moss.

Not that. That.

Oh.

[knocking]

Shh.

[grunts]

[whimpers]

[barking]

[screaming]

Gobo!

[screaming]

Whoa!

Mokey, come back. Mokey, where'd you go?

[stammers] Mokey.

This radish ought to prove to Gobo
I was here.

[Junior] Aw, gee.

I'm always the one
getting in trouble around here.

[gasping]

Why me, Great Gorg? Why me?

Ah, I gotta do something to get back
in Daddy's good graces.

Ha! That's it. That's it.

I'll get rid of that big, ugly, old rock
the Fraggles are always crawling out of.

-[laughs]
-Ugly old rock?

Oh, Daddy sire will be
really, really pleased.

[cackling]

Oh!

All I need is this big, old sledgehammer.

[laughs] Oh, boy, oh, boy.

This is gonna be fun.

-[laughing]
-[gasping]

[grunting]

Turn that old rock to pebbles
and cart 'em away.

[cackles]

[grunting]

[laughs]

-Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
-Oh, no!

Fraggle Rock. Oh!

[cackles]

[grunts]

[rumbling]

[stammers] And you know
that huge hairy monster in Outer Space

that's always chasing you?

He was trying to smash his way
into Fraggle Rock.

-[groans]
-Gobo, it was terrible.

-It was awful.
-We're doomed.

-Boober!
-[Red] Emergency. Emergency.

Exactly, we've got to get up
to Outer Space right away.

Outer Space?
[stammers] But there's a Gorg.

-A Gorg? Here?
-[all scream]

No, no, no, no. He's got a hammer.

He's trying to smash Fraggle Rock.

They're attacking from all sides.

-What are we gonna do?
-Oh.

You can't be in two places at once.

Red will have to handle the Gorg for now.

-Me?
-Oh, you can do it, Red.

I know it's scary, Red,

but just get up there
and do the best you can.

It's not that I'm scared
for myself, Gobo...

-Of course not.
-[stammers] It's Fraggle Rock.

Exactly. Mokey, Wembley, come on.
Let's get up to Outer Space.

Red, you can take Boober.
I'l join you as soon as I can.

-[screams]
-Good luck.

Oh, Red, Red, Red. It's no good, Red.

I'm useless to you.

I'm a quivering collection of the worst
and least helpful emotions.

-Whoa!
-Come on.

-Fear, anxiety...
-Move it.

Terror, paranoia...

-Boober!
-Indigestion...

-[Red] Go!
-[Boober] Dish-pan hands...

[screams]

[grunting]

[grunting]

Knocked itself out.

That took care of that, eh?

You two stay here
in case that thing wakes up

and starts to try anything.

I'll go see how Red and Boober are.

Right.

Oh, such a Fraggle. [sighs]

[grunting]

-[thud]
-[gasping]

Red, why are we cowering here
waiting for death?

Get your plan moving.

I don't have a plan.

[grunting]

[both scream]

I should have known it. We're gonna die.
I can feel it in my bones.

Oh, keep your bones quiet
and let me think.

[grunting]

[both scream]

It's no use. If you don't have a plan,
then Fraggle Rock is doomed.

Everything's gonna be destroyed.

All the Fraggles, all my laundry.

[grunting]

[coughing]

Oh, I give up. Dumb old hammer.

I guess I'll just have to let Pa hate me.

I think he's giving up.

Oh, it's hopeless.

Everything is doom. Doom!

Boom? Who said that?

Oh, doo--

Boom? Maybe I said that.

[laughs] Boom!

Why, that's it. Yeah, what a great idea.

I'll blow this old rock up.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

All I need is one of Daddy's boomsticks.

[laughing]

[Junior] Oh, there's really lots
over here.

[laughing]

Boomsticks. Yeah!

Hey, just as Daddy always says,

"A broomstick sweeps clean,

but a boomstick, that's mean."

Red, I'm gonna go get Gobo.

-What?
-Don't be afraid.

I'm not afraid.

Tell Gobo I'm not afraid.

[Junior] Boomstick! Yeah.

Oh, yes, I am.

[Doozer] Hoisting away.

[Boober] Gobo!

[Gobo] Boober!

[Boober] Gobo!

[groaning]

[Boober] The Gorg gave up
smashing its way into Fraggle Rock.

-[Gobo] The monster knocked itself out.
-[Boober] But now it's going to...

-I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry.

-I left Mokey and Wembley...
-l left Red...

Look, Red and I need your help.

Well, that's why I'm here.

Oh, oh, I almost forgot.

Daddy said I should always wear a helmet
before I blow anything up.

[laughs]

Okay, helmet,
get ready for the big one. [laughing]

Oh!

His Royal Daddy-ness will love this.

It's gonna look beautiful
without that big, ugly, old rock there.

[laughs]

Oh, yeah.

Oh, no.

Gobo, Boober, hurry up.

I'll just light that fuse, and away we go.

[laughing]

Oh, boy, is Pa ever gonna be pleased.

Oh, boy, I just love it
when boom things go blam!

[Gobo] Don't worry about Red.

She's at her best when she's impulsive.

Yeah, but where is she?

Oh, I got to go find her.

Gobo!

[whimpering]

[gasping]

Boober, the Gorg put a boomstick in here,

so I carried it back out there.

But Gobo's out there now.

What? Oh!

[rumbling]

Still there.

Whoa! Oh, no.

Aw, now Daddy'll really kill me.

[weeping]

[gasps]

-Oh!
-Look. Look.

[Red] Oh, no.

-[Boober] Gobo's hurt.
-[Red] Gobo!

[Boober] Gobo.

Red, do you think he's--

No, but he could be hurt bad.

We've got to get
this hunk of wood off him.

Pa's gonna chop me up into little chunks
when he sees all this,

and all because of that stupid old crown.

[grunts] Red, this is no good.

I'm gonna go get Mokey and Wembley.

Ah! A Fraggle.

-Come back here, you little Fraggle.
-Oh!

Because of you and your dumb old rock,
I'm in real trouble with my daddy.

[screams]

And I'm gonna thump you one, you Fraggle,
and I know you're in there.

-[Boober yells]
-Now, come outta there, you little rat.

-[groans]
-[laughs]

-Ow!
-I got you.

Now I'm gonna thump you
the way my daddy's gonna thump me.

-[Boober] Red! Help!
-Hey, pumpkin face.

Huh? Who said that?

[Red] I did.

And I'm beginning to be sorry I did.

I'll get you, too.

Hey, whoa! Whoa!

[groaning]

[whimpering]

Boober, are you okay?

No!

Boober, you've got to help me now.

It's too dangerous out here to leave Gobo.

-[stammers] But--
-[Junior groans]

[screams]

[moaning]

What did he say?

Matt.

Uncle Matt.

Gosh, Red, he wants his Uncle Matt.

Oh, I'm scared, Uncle Matt.

Sing me a song.

Scared?

Oh, please, Uncle Matt.

Please, Muck and Goo.

[panting]

Gee, Daddy, sire.

You haven't sung that to me
since I was a little baby Gorg.

Daddy! Oh, no!

[stammers] I gotta fix things up,
or my Pa will thump me

till there's nothin' left but Gorg dust.

[grunting]

Oh, no.

You dumb shoes.

[grunting]

[panting]

[Pa Gorg] Great Gorg!

-My castle!
-Where's Junior?

My baby.

Junior!

-[Pa Gorg] Oh, no!
-[Ma Gorg] My baby.

-[Pa Gorg] Infamy.
-[Ma Gorg] Junior!

-[Pa Gorg] My bastions have been breached.
-[Ma Gorg] Oh, my baby.

Ma, Pa, it's not what you think.

Where are they?

-Junior!
-Junior!

It's not what you think.

Where are the vile villains

who dared blow out
the windows of the castle

and went on to destroy the throne

of the king and the queen of the universe?

It is what you think.

Oh, Junior, did they try to hurt you?

Oh, yes, Mommy.

Is there no end to the outrage?

It was terrible, Daddy.

Oh, brave babykins, Mommy's here.

Gad, Junior,

what courage it must have taken
to stay here

while they bombarded the castle
and assaulted you.

Well, I tried to fight 'em, Daddy,

but one tiny Gorg against a whole army?

And they were tryin' to chop me up
into tiny pieces

and thump me till there was nothin' left.

Great Gorg, but I wish I'd been here

-to stand beside you, son.
-Yes.

To fight the enemy with you.

A king and his prince, back-to-back.

Front-to-front.

Fearless to the last hairy hair
on our terrible bodies.

[gasps]

Look, Mother,

those criminals even had the nerve
to try to destroy Kissing Rock.

Kissing Rock?

It's where your father
first kissed me, Junior.

That rock is the traditional spot

for the first loving kiss
between Gorgs, Junior.

Why, some night when the moon is full,

the way it was when we first kissed,
my little cherub.

[giggling]

Then you'll have
your first kiss here, too, Junior.

This rock is sacred.
Nothing must ever happen to it.

Gosh.

Well, come along, Junior.
We've got a lot of tidying up to do.

Yes, sir, Daddy sire, sir.

[screaming]

Hey, Daddy, does Ma kiss good?

Huh? Does she?

Did you hear that? Fraggle Rock is sacred.

Oh, what's happening?

-Gobo!
-Gobo!

Oh, you're okay!

Gobo! Red was incredible.
She stopped the Gorg.

She saved Fraggle Rock and you
and me and my laundry.

Gobo, I was so frightened,

and so worried about you.

Oh, I was worried about you, too.

Hey, come on. We've gotta get out of here.
Come on. Let's go.

Hey, you're forgetting my radishes.

-Oh!
-[laughs]

I'm back.

Sprocket?

Oh, catching a little snooze, eh?

Well, that's a good idea.

I still can't find the rent money.

I know I put it somewhere completely safe,

but I can't think where.

[whimpers]

Well, it's not as bad as that, old boy.

You know, but still, it's gonna be tough
coming up with that money again.

[yelps]

That's a nasty bump
you've got there, Sprocket.

How did you get that?

[barks]

Huh? Oh.

"Stuff to remember."

The rent money, Sprockie. You found it.

Oh, I'm gonna go to the landlord
with this right away.

[kisses]

-Aw, thank you, Sprockie.
