Down at Fraggle Rock.

Sprocket, I've just gotten aroundto fixing up this old porch chair.

-[panting]-Now on warm afternoons like this,

when I can sit on the porch, read my newspaper,

and keep an eye on Shimmelfinney.

Oh, it's gonna be terrific!

I'll go get my newspaperand give it a try.

[Sprocket barks]

I can't tell you how longl've wanted a porch chair.

Now here it is, and it's all mine.

[snores]

Sprocket.

You're sleeping in my new chair.

-That... It isn't fair.-[snoring continues]

No one, Sprocket...

No one could accuse me of being selfish.

But this is my chair, on my porch, in my house,

and I want to sit on it!

Oh, wait till my friends seethe surprise I have for 'em.

Ah, now, where did those grapes go?

They were here yesterday.

Aha!

The Grapes of Generosity.

Huh! Funny how I found these

right after Mokey read usthe legend about 'em.

According to Mokey's old book, the Grapes of Generosity magically appear

to those who really need 'em.

Oh, but that's silly.

Why, the Grapes of Generositymake a Fraggle generous,

and I'm already generous.

In fact, now I'll take some of these homeand surprise all my friends with them.

I'll just make sure they're ripe.

[lips smacking] Mmm! Mmm-mmm. Wow.

Those are the best-tasting thingsin the Rock.

Wembley and Red and Mokey and Booberare gonna gorg out on these. [chuckles]

[lips smacking] Mmm!

Oh, I could eat every grape in this cave, but I won't.

Oh, I could eat every grape in this cave, but I won't.

I wanna share. Oh, wait till I give these to my friends.

Why, I'll say...

♪ Well, if I had a kangaroo ♪

♪ You know whatl would choose to do for you ♪

♪ I'd give it all to you ♪

♪ Because the Grapes of Generosity ♪

♪ Are overflowing down into my shoe ♪

Hi, little cave pals.

[both laughing]

♪ And if I had a blue kazoo ♪

♪ You know whatl would choose to do for you ♪

♪ Choose to do ♪

♪ I'd give it all to you ♪

♪ All to you ♪

♪ Because the Grapes of Generosity ♪

[chewing] Mmm! Boy, these are really good!

Mm-hmm!

♪ And if I found a chicken stew ♪

♪ You knowwhat I would choose to do for you ♪

♪ Choose to do ♪

♪ Give it all to you ♪

♪ All to you ♪ ♪ All to you ♪

♪ Because the Grapes of Generosity ♪

♪ Are overflowing down into my shoe ♪

Mmm, boy!

I'm taking these little beautieshome with me.

Mmm, mmm. Mmm, boy! Mmm.

Oh, good! [chuckles]

I made it all the way here with the grapeswithout running into anyone.

Oh, wait a minute.

Why, huh, that makes it sound likel don't wanna share them.

Untrue. Why, I'm really looking forwardto sharing these grapes.

Gobo? Gobo. Oh, oh, Gobo, have you seen Red?

-Uh, who's Red?-What?

Oh, Red! Ha!

Uh, nope, nope, haven't seen her.

-Oh, okay. Bye.-Mm-hmm.

Oh, that's peculiar.

Why didn't I offer Mokey some grapes?

Aw, well... I'll be glad to share them, right after I eat a few more.

Aw, well... I'll be glad to share them, right after I eat a few more.

[grunts, chomping] Mmm.

Hey, Gobo! [chuckles]

Hey, Gobo, you wanna goto the Messing Around Cave with me?

Uh, no. No. Uh, why would I wanna goto the Messing Around Cave?

To mess around. What else would youdo in the Messing Around Cave?

Oh. Uh, no. You go messing aroundby yourself, Wembley.

[stutters] I'm not in the mood.

It's no fun to mess around alone, Gobo.

Well, sure it is. Now, go on. Have fun. Skedaddle.

-All right. I'll try.-[chuckles]

[Gobo] Yeah.

Oh, gee.

I should have told Wembleyabout my Grapes of Generosity.

Yeah, it's kind of weird feeling selfishabout something

that's supposed to make you feel generous.

Well, just goes to show you

how much I needall these Grapes of Generosity, I guess.

[chuckles] Mmm.

[lips smacking] Ooh, these are sure good.

[Mokey] Gobo? Gobo, are you still there? [Mokey] Gobo? Gobo, are you still there?

Oh, no. It's Mokey. Uh...

Gobo, are you sure thatyou haven't seen Red?

Because she saidshe needed to see you. Uh...

Well, I haven't been here a lotof the day, so I probably missed her.

Uh, Gobo... Uh, where did you get that hat?

Hat? Hat? Oh, hat! Oh, yes.

Well, [stuttering] I made it.

-[gasps] Really?-Hmm.

That is very attractive. I mean, it's... it's unique.

Remind meto get the pattern from you, okay?

-Oh, sure.-Well, I've gotta find Red. Bye.

Uh, bye. Oh.

Phew! Boy, that was close.

Oh, this is dumb. Why didn't I just share them with her?

Well, it'd be easier to just go aheadand be generous.

-[Red] Gobo!-[gasps]

Hey, Gobo, I gotta see you.

Oh, no. Now it's Red.

[gasps] I know.

I'll hide the Grapes of Generosityin my rock-climbing trophy.

Oh, there you are. Oh, there you are.

[clears throat]Why, Red, my Fraggle. Ha! Come on in.

Thanks, Gobo. Listen, I've got a favor to ask you.

Why, sure, Red. Anything.

You name it and it's yours.

Well, I'm organizingan exhibit on athletic excellence

for the annual Jock and Jockesses Picnic.

Oh, you're perfect for the job, Red.

So, I was wondering if I could borrowyour rock-climbing trophy?

What?

Your rock-climbing trophy.

What rock-climbing trophy?

-Huh? That rock-climbing trophy.-Oh?

The one you won from me, remember?

I just wanna borrow it for the day.

No!

What do you mean, "no"?

I... I mean not yes.

Negative. You cannot borrow my rock-climbing trophy.

Gobo, you're the most selfish Fraggle I know!

I don't care.

Hmph. Well, then, if I can't borrowyour rock-climbing trophy,

I'll win it back.

I'm a better rock climber than youany day. I'm a better rock climber than youany day.

And the Jock and Jockesses Picnicis the perfect place to prove it. [grunts]

[sighs] What's wrong with me? Why didn't I just say,

"Red, here's the trophy, and while we're at it,

why not sharesome of these Grapes of Generosity

that are inside it?"

[sighs]

Because they're too good to share, that's why.

Oh, now I've really got to hide them.

-Gobo. Gobo.-[crashing sound]

-Argh!-Oh. Oh.

Gobo, what are you doing up there?

Uh, up here? Uh, uh, am I up here?

Oh! Oh, yes, I am up here.[laughs nervously]

[stutters] I'm dusting. Funny how dusty a cave can get.

Oh, yeah, I guess it is.

Uh, listen, Gobo, I'm still looking for Red.

The Jock and Jockesses Picnicis about to begin,

and she's supposed to blowthe starting whistle.

Uh, she left a little while ago. Uh, she left a little while ago.

Oh, phooey! I'll just keep looking.

Uh, speaking ofthe Grapes of Generosity...

Uh... pardon?

The Grapes of Generosity.

We weren't speaking of them.

Oh, well, we should have been.

I've been thinking about that silly legendyou were telling me about. Uh...

Are you sure that if a Fraggleeats those grapes he becomes generous?

Well, that's what the book said.

A Fraggle becomes very generous, unless, of course, he eats them alone

and doesn't share them with his friends.

What happens then?

Well, not only doeshe not become generous,

he becomes weightless. Bye.

Weightless? [scoffs]

Now, that is totally, absolutely ridiculous.

Whoa! Oh, but maybe not.

Whoa.

[Matt] Dear Nephew Gobo, today I discovered a place

[Matt] Dear Nephew Gobo, today I discovered a place

that demonstrates how generousthe silly creatures really are.

When you first enter these places, you are given a shiny silver wagon

of your very own.

Everyone has one.

And then you get to fill up your wagonwith all sorts of things.

I got a lot of round metal cylinders

and some very interesting cold bricks.

Ooh. Ah. Oh. [chuckles]

[blowing]

I finally realized why the silly creatureswere being so generous.

They have the Grapes of Generosity.

Oh! [lips smacking]

Sometimes I fault the silly creaturesfor their behavior...

Thank you very much.

But their unselfishness knows no bounds.

Love, your Uncle Travelling Matt.

Ooh! [screaming]

Well, Uncle Matt, if the silly creaturesare eating Grapes of Generosity,

I hope they're sharing them,

because I don't recommendeating them by yourself.

Because I don't recommendeating them by yourself.

[sighs]

Oh, I wonder whenweightlessness wears off.

[gasps] Oh, I wonder if weightlessness wears off.

-[Large Marvin] Come on!-Oh, no. Someone's out in the tunnel.

I hope they're not coming here.

[panting] Come on, Rumple, hurry up.

We'll miss the Jocks and Jockesses Picnic.

Oh, we can't do that, Large Marvin.

The Jocks and Jockessesneed your gazelle-like athletic prowess.

Me?

[softly] Gazelle-like athletic prowess.[scoffs]

Oh, there's Gobo's room. Let's see if he's there.

Gazelle-like prowess?

What?

Mmm! [chomping]

Hello? Anybody home?

Here are your Jocks and Jockesses.

Oh, he's not here. Maybe he's already at the picnic.

Oh, good. Let's go to the picnic and eat.

-[stuttering] I mean, see. See.-Right.

[chuckles]

Oh, this is so humiliating.

I've just gotta get me some weight. I've just gotta get me some weight.

[sighs]

Hey, Gobo, I've been downat the Messing Around Cave.

You know what I was doing? Messing around. [laughs] It was great.

Gobo, are you okay?

Hi, Wembley. [chuckles]

[stammering] But, Gobo! There's a boulder on your lap!

There is? Oh, yes. I mean, there is.

Um... [stuttering]Why is there a boulder on your lap?

-Why?-Uh-huh.

Uh, maybe this cave isin a falling-rock zone.

Oh, Gobo, [stuttering]if that rock had fallen on you,

you'd be a smudge of Fraggle glopon the floor.

[both laughing]

-Yeah.-Yeah. Yeah.

[sighs] Okay, Wembley, I admit it.

I, uh... I put this boulder on my lap.

Yeah, I like to have a boulder on my lapfrom time to time.

Uh-huh? Uh, Gobo, do you feel okay?

Well, of course, I feel wonderful...

No.

-No. No, no, no, no.-No. I feel awful, Wembley.

I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm coming down with something.

I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm coming down with something.

Well, you should be in bedunder nice warm blankets.

Ah, Wembley, what a dumb, silly...

-Oh, dumb.-...wonderful idea.

What?

I'll get in bed under nice... heavy blankets.

Yeah, well, good.

Let me help youget that boulder off your lap.

-But first...-Uh-huh?

[stutters] But first, I need my guitar.

-Well, it's... Oh, it's right there.-Huh?

-Pick.-Huh?

Guitar pick.

Yeah, I dropped it... in the tunnel, right outside the cave door.

Uh, would you get it for mewhile I get into bed?

Sure, Gobo. If you say so. Huh!

-[groans]-[boulder thuds]

Whoa!

[Gobo] Don't worryif it takes some time to find it.

[grunts]

One little guitar pick is hard to spoton a floor full of pebbles.

-[Wembley] I found it!-Whoa. What?

Oh. [grunts]You mean I actually dropped it out there?

- Well, you said you did, Gobo.-[groans] - Well, you said you did, Gobo.-[groans]

Ta-da! Here it is, Gobo! [chuckling]

[sighs]

Oh, good, Wembley.

Just... Why don't you put it overnext to my guitar for safekeeping.

Oh, okay.

Whoa!

Gobo, Gobo, are you okay? Are you in pain?

No, no, no, no. Just for heaven's sake,

-go get me another blanket...-A blanket.

-Or four or five.-Yeah. Yeah.

[groaning]

Why wasn't I generouswith the Grapes of Generosity?

[groans]

There, that's eight blankets. It must be awfully heavy. [sighs]

-Oh, look, Gobo's here after all. Hi.-Hi.

Hey, we just come from the... from the Jocks and Jockesses Picnic.

-We've been sent as emisses...-Messengers.

Yeah, them, too.

And Red Fraggle has challenged youto a rock-climbing contest, Gobo.

Oh, no.

No, it's no use. Gobo can't come, he's not feeling well.

No, it's no use. Gobo can't come, he's not feeling well.

You gotta come, Gobo.

Red says if you don't show up, you'll lose by default.

-That does it.-What? What are you gonna do?

Wembley, hand me my boulder.

[grunting] I'm going to that picnic.

-Oh, yeah, my kind of Fraggle.-[Gobo groaning]

-Yeah.-All right.

[Fraggles clamoring]

[Fraggle] Come on! We're winning! Come on! Pull! Pull!

Attention! Attention!

You will note, though, Jocks and Jockesses,

that although I sent out my emissarieswith the challenge some time ago,

Gobo Fraggle has not yet arrived.

[Fraggle] That's right. Yeah, that's right.

I think it is safe to saythat he is not coming!

[all cheering and clamoring]

He says that he's gonna...

He says he'll beat youwhile carrying a boulder.

Oh, yeah? Well, where is he?

I'll give him to the count of ten.[clears throat]

[Red] One... - Two...-[groans]

three, four... three, four...

-I'm not gonna make it.-...five, six...

seven, eight, nine, ten!

Whoa.

That does it.

Gobo Fraggle obviously doesn't wantto hand over the trophy.

-[Fraggle] That's right.-He's hiding somewhere in disgrace.

That's not true!

[Gobo groaning]

Rumple is right,

I'm not hiding in disgrace.

I'm floating on this ceiling.

[Sprocket howling]

Oh, please, Sprocket, don't howl.

[howling]

Oh, I know you like sleepingin my new chair, Sprocket.

-But it's my chair.-[howls]

-I recovered it.-[howls]

-I repainted it.-[howls]

It's mine.

[howling]

[panting] Gobo! Gobo!

Oh, he's not in here either. Where could he be?

[Gobo] I'm here, Wembley.

Gobo, uh, uh, I heard your voice. Where are you?

Gobo, uh, uh, I heard your voice. Where are you?

I'm here.

Oh, I get it. It's the old game.[chuckles]

Uh, uh, um... Am I getting... warmer?

[Gobo] You're freezing, Wembley.

Oh... [gasps]

Gobo! How'd you get up there?

I crawled on the ceilingall the way from the Great Hall.

Oh. [scoffs] That's silly, Gobo. No one can crawl on the ceiling.

[sighs] Okay, Wembley. I'll explain.

But you have to promise not to laugh.

Oh, I won't laugh, Gobo. I wouldn't laugh at you, I promise.

I found some Grapes of Generosity, and I ate them without sharing.

-[chuckles]-So... now I'm weightless.

[laughing]

Stop laughing!

Who's laughing? I'm not laughing.[continues laughing]

Oh, give me a break. I know I did a stupid, selfish thing.

And sooner or later, everyone will find out.

- [whooshing sound]-Talk about humiliated. - [whooshing sound]-Talk about humiliated.

Aw, don't worry. No one will humiliate my friend Gobo.

Ah, thank you, Wembley.

Oh, Gobo, Gobo. Oh, sorry, uh, uh...

[groans] You're a laugh riot, Wembley.

Hello! Gobo, Wembley! You'll never guess what.

Oh, don't worry, Gobo. I'll hold you down.

He'll never know what happened.

Hi, guys, you'll never guess.

What won't we guess, Rumple?

It's crazy. I told Red she didn't deserveyour rock-climbing trophy,

so now she's trying to provethat she does.

Well, what's crazy about that?

She's trying to climbto the top of the Great Hall.

-What?-Huh?

-No one's ever done that.-Mm-mm.

Well, Red won't be the first, I'll tell you that for nothing.

Well, don't be too sure. She's good.

Maybe. But she's also stuck.

-[grunting]-Oh, boy!

Just because she wants this crazy trophy.

Well, come on, Wembley. We better see what's gone wrong.

-But, Gobo, you're [whispers] weightless.-You're what?

-[Wembley grunts]-Wembley.

-What?-Just keep holding me down.

Holding your what?

[Fraggles clamoring]

Wow! Isn't that great? Look at her!

Oh, look. There's Red.

That's fantastic. Look, Gobo, she's way up there. See her?

Hi, Red. What's happening?

Gobo, I'm proving that I deserve to berock-climbing champion.

-That's what.-Okay by me.

Yeah.

Well, except, uh, at the moment, I have a little problem.

Well, except, uh, at the moment, I have a little problem.

Uh, most of this ledge has fallen away.

So, uh, what are you gonna do now?

Yeah, Miss Champion. Maybe Gobo can save you.

-[Fraggles laughing]-I don't need saving!

She doesn't need saving.

And besides, if you tried to help,

Fraggles would see you were weightless.

-Wembley, that's not the point.-Oh.

Uh, I'll tell you, though, I could use a hand from someone.

-Well, I could give you a hand, Red.-No.

Gobo give me a hand?

You wouldn't even loan meyour rock-climbing trophy.

Why would you do something generouslike give me a hand?

-[Wembley grunting]-That does it.

Red, you're right.

I'm gonna float up to you with the trophy.

No, Gobo, no. What are you...

-[Fraggles clamoring]-What's that supposed to mean?

It means that I atethe Grapes of Generosity without sharing.

-[Fraggles gasping]-It means that...

I've been... selfish.

[Fraggles clamoring] [Fraggles clamoring]

-It certainly means that I'm weightless.-Uh-huh.

-Give me a boost, Wembley.-[grunts]

-Whoa.-If you say so, Gobo.

One... -Two...-Two... - Three!-Three!

-I really feel terrible about... Oof!-[gasps]

this because, well, I wanted to be generous, and I wasn't.

Well, you've climbed higherthan I ever have in the Great Hall,

-so, I think you deserve this trophy, Red.-Oh!

Well, gee, thanks, Gobo.

There is just one thingyou should know, Red.

Well, what's that?

Uh, being generous gives a Fragglehis weight back.

-Whoa!-[all gasping]

I got you, Gobo.

[all cheering]

[all chomping]

And so, when I foundthe Grapes of Generosity,

I thought, "Now we'll all be more generous."

But when I ate them, they were so good, I couldn't bear to part with them.

-I became less generous.-And weightless.

- Mm-hmm.[all] Mmm. - Mm-hmm.[all] Mmm.

Those grapes teach generositythe hard way, don't they?

-[all] Mm-hmm.-Boy, I'll say.

Yeah, but they sure do teach it.

You know, could I give you the shirt off my back?

-You already have, Wembley.-Oh, yeah. [laughs]

Everything I have is anybody's.

[all] Oh!

Hey, look, there's one grape left. Go ahead, Boober, you have it.

-Oh, I couldn't. Uh...-Yeah, yeah, come on!

-You have it, Red.-Yeah, Red, give it a go.

Oh, no, no, thank you. Mokey, you go ahead and have it.

-Yeah, Mokey.-Please, please, I'm full.

-Wembley, you have it.-Me? Oh, no, no, no.

-Yeah, yeah, Wembley, you're the smallest.-Gobo. Gobo.

[all arguing]

Oh, thank you, Sprocket.

I know you like sharingthe new porch chair with me.

Well, I try to be generous to a fault.

I'm certainly being generousto a sheepdog. [laughing]

[growling]

Well, it was only right for meto learn to share the chair with you.

After all, you're sharing your fleas with me.

[laughing] Here, let me get that.
