Fraggle Rock (1983–1987): Season 1, Episode 9 - The Lost Treasure of the Fraggles - full transcript
Gobo and Red find a map that leads to the Ancient Treasure of the Fraggles.
Sprocket, I'm home from
the rummage sale.
And I've got something
for each of us.
This wonderful old trunk
is for me
and these are for you.
You will have fun with
those roller-skates
and I'll have a wonderful time
with this trunk.
Isn't it a beauty?
Of course the truly wonderful thing
about this trunk is that
it is locked.
That means we don't know
what's inside.
It could be gold, diamonds...
It could be moldy socks.
It's gonna be a real adventure,
opening this trunk.
Some adventure, Gobo.
You make this trip all the time.
Okay. You want adventure?
You go into the room
at the end of the tunnel
and get the postcard
from my uncle Traveling Matt.
I bet those creatures
aren't nearly as weird
as you say they are.
Okay. Have a look today.
Sprocket, you've got
your roller-skates on.
Show me what you can do.
Very good.
Not too fast, Sprocky.
You're getting really professional, Sprocket.
That's good.
Oh, no!
No, it's okay, Gobo.
You go right on ahead.
That's good for a first ride.
Now try to be a little quiet.
It's gonna take a steady hand
and the utmost concentration
to open this lock
without a key.
Any lock can be opened with
a piece of bent wire
some chewing gum,
a soda cracker
and an innate ability
bordering on genius.
Fortunately I have everything
except the cracker.
What's happening?
Just hang on, Red!
Hold on tight!
I can't move!
Red, we've never been
in this part of the rock before.
Not the sort of place
you visit again and again.
Hey, Red, look at that.
How did a map get down here?
Look at this inscription.
This map was drawn by Dwight
at the time of the 3rd drafting.
The 3rd drafting!
But that's about
a zillion's quintillion days ago!
And look at this!
Herein lies the ancient
treasure of Fraggle Rock!
The treasure of the rock!
That's the lost wealth
of the Fraggles!
And we found
the map to it!
Somebody's pulling our tails, Red.
That map can't be real.
How could we have found
the treasure of the rock?
Let's go.
I guess.
Take the map, though.
Just as a souvenir.
Gobo, isn't the treasure
of Fraggle Rock
supposed to be
a whole bunch of diamonds?
Well, if it's real.
But it can't really be real, right?
-Probably about a million diamonds.
-A million diamonds!
No use spreading it around.
It's just a dumb story.
Pretty dumb, I guess.
But it might be fun to
follow the map anyway.
-Even though it is a phony?
-Just for the adventure of it.
Hi, there.
How was your trip to the room
at the end of the tunnel?
You won't believe what happened.
We found a—
A postcard from
uncle Traveling Matt.
But Red...
But you always find
one of those.
Yeah, but this one is special.
It's really good. Listen.
Dear nephew Gobo:
today I discovered
something very strange
but useful
about this world.
As I was walking along
I found something
that looked just like
the Fraggle's swimming pool.
It was a pool of water
with more water splashing into it
in the middle.
I was enjoying the sight
when suddenly
one of the silly creatures came along
and did something very strange.
"Excuse me, sir"
I said to this man.
"Can you tell me why
you just did that?"
"I don't know"
he said to me.
"Everyone throws money
in fountains".
I was delighted!
For months now I have been collecting
this stuff that is called money.
But I have never known
what to do with it.
Now at last I know.
You throw it into fountains.
Well, Gobo,
I certainly am finding my way
round this strange world at last.
Much love,
your uncle Traveling Matt.
-Nice card, huh, Gobo?
-Yeah, a real treasure.
Shhh.
I tell you, Sprocket,
they don't make
locks like this anymore.
That trunk comes from the time
where they really built things to last.
You don't care
what's in that trunk?
What if it's filled
with 20 dollar bills,
gold bars,
sapphires the size of baseballs?
What if it's filled
with old steak bones?
Once you use your imagination,
you see what fun this is?
You've got the spirit now, Sprocket.
It's the adventure of the quest.
Here we are,
at the start of the map.
We're off to
find the treasure.
I wonder.
What's a million diamonds
divided by two?
I don't know.
I was never very good
at arithmetic.
Maybe we should have told
the others.
If the map was a fake
they'd just laugh.
If it was real,
they'd want to share.
Share?
Of course we'll share.
I just hope it's real.
If that map isn't real,
what are we doing here.
We should know
in a minute.
In the middle of the chasm
we should find
the solemn mark of the Fraggle.
Look! Carved into the rock!
The solemn mark of the Fraggle.
It's true, Red.
A million diamonds!
Of course we will share with
Wembley, Boober and Mockey, won't we?
Of course we'll share but
we'll worry about that after we find it.
Red, what's a million
divided by five?
I don't believe it!
We are back in the tunnel
to the garden of the Gorgs.
What does the map say next?
Turn right, walk 100 paces.
That'll put us right
into the Gorgs garden!
You wanted an adventure.
Let's move, 'Captain Danger'.
After you, 'Major Disaster'.
Oh, boy!
Just because Ma and Pa
are king and queen of the Universe
doesn't mean they couldn't do
a little gardening once in a while.
Besides, I'm wasting my time.
I should be out there
catching Fraggles.
Junior,
Oh, youth
of a mother's dreams,
I just backed you
an afternoon snack:
a peach pie.
Oh, mommy!
A peach pie!
My favorite!
Tell me if I put enough garlic in
to suit you.
Peach pie with garlic.
The queen of the universe
is an okay mommy.
What...?
What is this?
The queen of the universe
is a terrible pie maker.
So much for the snack time.
Back to the watermelons.
The heir apparent's
work is never done.
According to the map
it's 4 paces that way.
What does the map say
we do next?
Turn right 8 paces.
Next?
Turn right again
and enter door.
Oh, no!
The treasure's in
the Gorgs castle!
Listen, Gobo,
we better talk about this.
I mean, treasure hunts
are one thing
but Fraggles do not go
into the Gorgs castle.
Fraggles!
We can talk about this tomorrow!
Where are you going?
I don't know, Gobo.
Maybe I've had enough
of this adventure.
But Red, the treasure of Fraggle Rock.
A million diamonds!
True.
But inside the Gorgs castle.
Think of it this way:
we don't have to do it alone.
We can get help.
We'll tell Wembley, Mockey and Boober.
I guess we'd better.
Maybe the treasure of Fraggle Rock
is 5 million diamonds.
Hey, guys!
Listen to what's just happened!
Come on,
this is really important!
It's really fantastic!
I've got news!
You guys, listen!
Everyone can keep quiet!
But Red,
we are really quiet.
We've got really big news.
Okay, gang,
everybody ready?
We're off to find the treasure
of Fraggle Rock.
Wembley, what are we gonna do
with all those diamonds?
I don't know.
Do they make my
skipping stones?
Nine o'clock and all is well.
The king and queen,
their royal highnesses,
to hereby wish
the universe
pleasant dreams.
Come on, the door is open.
Let's go.
Good, husband,
it is eventime.
Indeed. Time to go to
a well deserved rest.
How is night watchman,
darling?
I'm right here, mommy.
Good eve, my son and
night watchman.
The king and queen
do now give over to you
the safe giving of the castle
till the cock doth crow.
You got it.
Let's run for it.
We missed it.
Now we'll never get in.
Can't sleep
without a little air.
Look, there's our chance.
All we have to do is get up there.
Terrific.
Do we do that before or after
we flap our arms and fly to the moon?
Wait a minute.
There must be a way to get in.
I'd rather flap my arms
and fly to the moon.
I know the way.
What's the way, Gobo?
Peach and garlic pie.
Peach and garlic pie.
Peach and garlic pie?
Remember, son,
be ever vigilant,
Be always alert.
And try not to snore
so loudly tonight.
Come to bed now, ducky-kins.
Here I come, Pumpkin.
Ever vigilant.
See? I told you
I could do it
with the pie.
But how are we going to get
as high as the ledge?
Easy, you land on it.
You're next, Wembley.
But be quiet.
Good bye, Wembley.
Go on.
Ever vigilant.
Peach and garlic pie.
Doing good, Boober.
I'm too high.
I'm sure I'm too high.
I'm neck high.
In peaches and garlic.
Oh, boy.
Boober broke through the pie crust.
-Wait there.
-Do I have a choice?
Well, Red.
You've got the map.
Do you know
where we go next?
I know all right.
But we are not going to like it.
36, 37. 38, 39...
That's it!
According to the map the treasure
is right behind this stone.
To tell you the truth, Red,
I don't like the neighborhood.
Quick. Before the Gorg
wakes up.
Look, Gobo.
The stone is loose.
Let's see if we can move it.
I've got it.
Come on, you can do it.
It's free!
What's inside, Gobo?
There's something back here.
I've got it.
The treasure.
We're under attack!
Mommy! Daddy!
Hold on the gallery!
Man the catapults!
Follow me, Wembley!
Over here!
No, the other way!
-You guys okay?
-I think so.
This way.
Let's go.
Come on.
Hey, everybody,
you're back.
I got out of the pie.
We've got the ancient treasure
of the Fraggles.
The ancient treasure
of the Fraggles.
Don't just stand there.
Open it up.
Sure.
Might as well.
Here it is.
The ancient treasure
of Fraggle Rock.
In a minute
we may all be rich.
It's a song!
The ancient treasure of the Fraggles
is a song.
It's a wonderful treasure.
Come on.
We've got to share this
with everyone.
Listen to the music.
You're right, Gobo.
We are rich.
Then you don't mind
not getting the diamonds?
They would have made nice
skipping stones but
this is a lot better.
This should do it, Sprocky.
Careful, Sprocket!
You did it.
At last we'll get to see
what treasure we got here.
There's something
inside this chest
that we really wanted
for a long time.
Look. It's the key
to this chest.
the rummage sale.
And I've got something
for each of us.
This wonderful old trunk
is for me
and these are for you.
You will have fun with
those roller-skates
and I'll have a wonderful time
with this trunk.
Isn't it a beauty?
Of course the truly wonderful thing
