[whining]

Oh, Sprocket, did I have fun today!

And this is why.

These objects come from a shipwreck
we found right at the bottom of our bay.

They want me to analyze the metal content.



Now, what could this be?

It's a nameplate. "La Gorgola."

That must be what the ship was called.
La Gorgola, what a pretty name.

Oh, Sprocket. Now, what could this be?

Hmm. Intricate carving.

Well, now, it looks like a...

Arting.

[grunts]
laughs]

My, my. [laughs]

I can't get it off.

[panting]

Okay, come on, Sprocket. Pull, pull, pull.

Ouch! Well, that won't work.
Now, what am I gonna do?

[barking]
What?

Oh, my toolbox. Thank you, Sprocket.

Now, where are those pliers of mine?

Uh-oh. I lent them to Ned Shimmelfinney.

Don't worry, boy. I won't be long.

[whines]

[door closes]

[whooping and cheering]

Come on, everybody.
There aren't many greaseberry leaves left.

Oh, here's a nice slippery one for you.

Thanks. [giggles]

Oh, Boober,
don't you just love greaseberry season?

[whooping]

That first harvest from the garden,
that first leap onto the leaf,

the first slide across the Great Hall.

~The first broken bone.
-Yeah.

[whooping]

yells]
-Oh, Red.

[groans]
-Guess what?

What?
-Gobo's going to try it!

-The Ultimate Slide.
[laughs nervously]

You mean all the way from the garden
to the Great Hall in one long swoop?

Yes. Gobo's going to attempt
the impossible.

[all gasping]

Gobo personally selected his own leaf.

-Yeah. He always gets the greasiest one!
[all laugh]

-'m ready.
-You're ready.

[Gobo] My feet are on the leaf.
-Your feet are on the leaf.

-I'm assuming the correct mental attitude.
-That, too.

-And I'm away!
Yes.

Whoa!

Hey, wait for me!

[laughing] Yay!

Wowee!

-Yippee! Zippity zow!
[panting]

He'll never make it.

That leap over Curious Chasm is a killer.

I know. I tried it.

Wowee! [laughs]

Oh, here comes the Chasm. Wow, I'm flying.

Oh, I made it.

Whoopee!

And even if he makes it over the Chasm,
there's still the Twisted Cave.

[all exclaim]

Whoa!

Whoa!

Wow! [laughs]

[exclaiming]

[all cheering]
[Gobo laughs] Yeah.

[Boober] Hooray!

Gobo, that was the most incredible thing
I've ever seen.

-Yes, I know.
[all cheering and whooping]

Hey, Gobo, what's the matter?
Can't you sleep?

Ah, who can sleep
after the Ultimate Slide?

Hmm.

I'm gonna go up and see if I got
a postcard from my Uncle Traveling Matt.

-Yeah, but it's nighttime.
-S0?

Aren't you afraid to go into Outer Space
when it's dark?

Me? You got to be kidding.

Hal I don't believe that Wembley.

Thinking I'd be afraid to come up here
because it's night. Hal

[rock music playing]

Well, I guess every Fraggle can't be
as brave and courageous as me.

I A fella came along
Tried to knock me flat

I Everybody told me
Son, you can't fight that?

I But whoa, whoa, I knew I was good

I Wop, hop, doodly, bop
I showed him I could

I A fella started drumming
With a rat-tat-tat §

1 A fella told me,
"Sonny boy, you can't beat that"

I But whoa, whoa, whoa,
{ knew I was good

I And oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
1 showed him I could }

I You know, you gotta be someone
Gotta be strong

I When you got the goods
You know you can't do anything wrong

Ah, let's Fraggle,
we're champ of the Rock!

Look out, now.

I A fella came along in a big top hat?

♪ Said, "Sonny boy,
You know you can't top that" ♪

I But whoa, I knew I was good

I And oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I showed them I could ♪

I Oh, I knew I was good }

[Sprocket snoring]

Hey, monster! What's happening? [laughs]

[whimpering]

Huh? Oh. [laughs]

[barking]

[panting]

[whimpering]

[barking]

Uh-oh.

[howling]

[Sprocket howling distantly]

Oh. [laughs] Must be the wind.

[Sprocket howling]

That's definitely not the wind.

Guess I better find out what that is.

[Sprocket howling]

-Oh, no!
[barks]

I can't stay, Sprocket.

Well, Shimmelfinney took me to a jeweler.

She wanted to cut the ring off,
but, oh, I wouldn't let her.

I mean, uh, imagine,
a priceless artifact like this.

Anyway, I'm on my way
to the emergency ward at the hospital.

[yelping]

Could be a long night, Sprocket.

Hey, you really are stuck, aren't you?

What a mess. He'll probably starve
if he doesn't get out of there.

[howls]

Hey, you, are you hungry?

[barking]

Well, I'm gonna help you.

I'l get you something to eat
and I'll be right back.

-[whimpers]
-I promise.

[panting]

Gobo?

Isn't there anything to eat around here?

That you, Gobo?

I need some food
for the monster that lives in Outer Space.

Oh.

What a weird dream.

It was about Gobo
and he was gonna feed the hairy monster,

or maybe it was the monster
going to eat Gobo. Oh, well.

[laughs nervously]
Uh, will you let me get closer?

‘Cause I can't feed you
these Doozer sticks unless you do.

[gagging]

[coughing]

This is turning into a very big problem.

[howling]

Well, if you don't get unstuck,

I'l never be able to get a postcard
from my Uncle Traveling Matt again.

[grunts]

Well, that's why I'm always coming up here
and sneaking into your place.

Oh, hey, you want me to read a postcard?

It might take your mind off your problems.

[panting]

"Dear Nephew Gobo..."

That's me.

was explori VE...
"I was exploring a large cave..."

[Matt] ...and happened upon
a small secret cavern.

Some creatures
had gathered there to meditate.

1 decided not to disturb them
and tried to leave quietly.

But I could not get out.

[sighs] Excuse me, madam, but can you
tell me how to leave this sacred place?

She refused to answer.

Sir...

I decided to take
a calm, logical approach.

Help, help, I'm trapped!

I'l never get out of here. Please.
Please help!

[panting]

[laughs]

Hmm.

Oh, well, when you're stuck
in a strange situation,

it's good to be able to calmly figure
a way out of it yourself

[grunts]

"Love, your Uncle Traveling Matt."

Well, huh.
That's pretty good advice, monster,

because you're stuck
in a strange situation,

-and, well, I'm here all by myself.
-[whimpers]

Well, if any Fraggle can figure out
what to do in a situation like this,

it's me.

[whimpering]

Let's see. Yeah.
What you need is a good push.

[barking]

You think you're scared? What about me?

You're a lot bigger than I am,
especially around the teeth.

[whimpering]
-Oh, come on.

I don't wanna do this
any more than you do.

Okay? Now, I won't hurt you.

[barking]
-Easy, easy, easy, easy.

Here. Now, that's not so bad, is it?

Okay. Now, get ready. I'm gonna push.
Here we go.

[straining]

[grunting]

[whimpering]

Aw, gee, don't cry.

Hey, remember what my Uncle Matt said.

We've got to be calm and logical.

Now, the best way to get something unstuck
is with grease.

[gasps] That's it!

'l get some greaseberry leaves
and rub them on you. That'll do the trick.

I'l just head off for the garden
and save the day.

Oh, did I mention
there aren't many Fraggles

as brave and courageous as me?

[panting]

[barking]

Nine o'clock and all is well. [laughs]

Gobo's the name, adventure's the game.

Ah, there's the greaseberry bush. Ha!

When you got all the moves,
you just can't lose.

Huh?

Oh, no. Ah.

That was not one of my better moves.

Oh, oh, oh!
Oh, there's that nightmare again.

Gobo in the jaws
of the hairy monster. Gobo!

Gobo. Gobo! Huh. Huh.

Oh, no. What if...
What if my dream isn't a dream?

Whoa, Red, Mokey, Boober! Gobo's missing!

Hairy monster Gobo nightmare.
Hairy bedroom. [babbling]

Will you try to calm down, Wembley?

Oh, food. Gobo. Nightmare.
Hairy. Ahhh! [shivering]

What did we do
the last time he got like this?

-[lboth] Tum him upside-down!
“What? Whoa!

Oh, thanks, guys.
I had a terrible nightmare.

I dreamed that Gobo was feeding...

Hairy. Gobo. Monster.
Dream. Monster hairy.

[shuddering]

Feeding the hairy monster
from Outer Space.

What was he feeding him?

I'm not sure, but I think it was himself.

gasping]
-It must be a sign.

We've got to do something.
Head that way.

Yeah.

The monster postcard nightmare.

I Dum, de, dum, dum!

Eleven o'clock and all's well.

Oh, to a mother, there is
no more terrible sound than this one.

[crying]

Oh, I cannot bear the sound of tears.

I must ease the pain of whoever-- [gasps]

[screams]

A Fraggle!

So, she can't stand crying, eh?

Well, that gives me an idea.

[mock-crying loudly]

[panting] I hope we're not too late.

[all gasping]

[all screaming]

[all panting]

Why did Gobo have to get
his postcard at night, Wembley?

-Yeah, Wembley?
Wembley?

“Wembley?
Wembley?

[gasps] Wembley!

You... you monster.
You ate my best friend.

[grunting]

Wembley, no!

-Let me at him.
-No, Wembley!

Let me at him. He ate my best friend.
Let me at him.

[all exclaiming]

Oh, Wembley, Wembley.
You were magnificent.

Oh, punching that monster
was the bravest thing I've ever seen.

I... I punched a monster?

[crash]

-He fainted.
Well, he's better off than poor Gobo.

-Gobo.
[sniffling]

Gobo wouldn't want us to cry.

He never cried, did he?

[all wailing]

Oh, Gobo!

Gobo!

[crash]

[mock-crying]

I must do something about these tears.
I'm a mother.

Butit's a Fraggle.
Oh, Gorgs hate Fraggles.

I may be a Gorg, but 'm a mother first.

Oh, please, stop, little Fraggle.

I can't bear the sound of crying.

Well, neither can I, especially my own.

Well, what pains you?
Are you crying because you're in a cage?

Of course I am.

But you have to be in there.

You've been stealing
our greaseberry plants.

Well, that's no reason
to put someone in...

[crying] prison.

Yes, itis. I need those plants
for my Gorg butter.

Well, I need them to help someone
who is stuck.

Well, there's nothing I can do about that.

Sure there is.
You could open the door and let me out.

Oh, I couldn't.

Then I'l just have to cry. [crying]

Oh, oh, oh.
Allright, all right, I'l help you.

You will?
‘Wait here.

Oh!

Wait here? Where does she think I can go?

This will do the trick.
Some of my very own Gorg butter.

[sniffs] Uh, it looks great.

I used it when Junior got his fingers
stuck in the teapot spout.

Oh, just what I need.

-There you go.
-Oh, thank you, ma'am.

Oh, a Fraggle! Oh!

Gee, I never thought
I'd get help from a Gorg.

[sniffing] Gorg butter.

Yuck!

[all sobbing]

[sniffling] I wonder
if we should bury Gobo's hat.

-Oh, yes.
-I can see the gravestone now.

"Here lies Gobo's hat."
-Oh!

At least it will give us
something to remember him by.

You don't have to remember me.
I'm right here.

[all] Gobo!

-We thought you'd been killed.
“Who me? Oh, never happened.

We thought you'd been eaten
by the monster.

I was afraid of that myself.

What's that?
-Oh, Gorg butter.

[smacking lips]
It's a little salty, but not bad.

Mmm.
-I'm gonna use it to help the monster.

-You wait here.
-No problem.

[growling]

I got something that will get you unstuck.

[barks]

Don't be mad at my friends.
They were just worried about me.

Okay, everybody, push. One, two, three.

[all grunting]

[barks]

[panting]

Gobo, I can't believe how brave you were.

Yeah, I'd never touch a monster.

But you did it before.
-I did?

-Yeah. You punched him right in the nose.
Mm-hmm.

I punched a monster?

[crash]
[laughs] Hey, Wembley.

-[Red] Come on.
-[Boober] Come on.

Oh, Gobo, isn't it wonderful

You can't make friends with a monster.

[Sprocket barks]

Or can you?

[panting]

[barking]

I'm glad to see you playing happily
with your ball, Sprocket.

At least one of us had a pleasant night.

Those doctors wanted
to cut off the ring, too.

Imagine, an irreplaceable artifact.

Oh, Sprockie, what am I going to do, huh?

Where have you been? Look at this.

It's off! Oh, what a relief.

It smells good.

Not bad, but it could use a little salt.
