Down at Fraggle Rock.

Okay, Sprocket, I come outand say something like this.

Good evening, ladies and germs.

Welcome to The Captain's Inn Talent Night.

I am the Amazing Doc, and this is my talking dog, Sprocket.

-Well, that's where you come out.-[groans]

[sighs, murmurs]

-This dog is worth $10,000.-[grumbles]

I still don't see how he managedto save up that much.

[laughing] You gotta come onwith a good, strong joke.

They love that. Here's another one.

Did you hear about the dog who was so dumb

he chased parked cars?

-[exclaims]-[laughs] That's fun...

But Sprocket here, he is one smart dog.

He is so smart, he can talk and answer questions.

Now, Sprocket, what is the opposite of smooth?

-Ruff.-That's right, rough.

Now, what is the top partof a house called?

-Ruff.-That's right, the roof.

Oh, now, how about this one?

Who was the greatestbaseball player of all times?

Who was the greatestbaseball player of all times?

-Ruff?-That's right, Babe Ruth. That's great.

Ooh, Sprocket, wait till you seethe nifty poster I just made up.

"The Amazing 'Doc'and His Talking Dog Sprocket."

[barking]

Sprocket. Sprocket. Wait, wait, wait. What's bothering you, Sprocket?

What do you... Do you want to talk to me about it?

Oh, wow. Look what I found.

-Wow!-Wow! Gobo, that's really incredible!

What is it?

It's a two-headed broom

for cleaning the floor and the ceilingof your cave at the same time.

-Yeah.-Oh, boy.

I wish I couldfind something special like that.

Wembley, these cavesare full of special things.

-Mm-hmm.-Oh, yeah.

Listen, the way I found this stuffwas to scan the cave from side to side.

-Side to side?-[gasps] Oh, look! A Gorg's tooth!

[gasps] Oh. Side to side.

Side to side.

- Side to side.-[object clatters] - Side to side.-[object clatters]

[gasps] Gobo! Ooh, ooh, ooh! Look, Gobo, Gobo, Gobo, Gobo!

Look what I found!

It's heavy. It's round. It's shiny. It's... It's gray.

-It's beautiful.-It's a rock.

-Well, yeah. But it's... [sighs]

It's... It's a rock.

It's a rock.

It's a rock.

Um... [gasps] Oh, boy!

-Gobo! Gobo!-Huh?

Gobo, look what I found this time!

Look at it! It's wonderful! Ha! [panting]

It's a mushroom.

Well, don't you thinkit's kind of unusual?

[clears throat]

Oh.

Wembley, we're all lookingfor special stuff.

So just don't call meunless it's really something, okay?

Okay, Gobo.

Oh, boy. I'll never find anything special.

[gasps] Oh. Oh, it's... it's an old bottle.

Hey. Hey, Gobo! Uh, is an old bottle special?

An old bottle is just an old bottle. An old bottle is just an old bottle.

Only it's not just an old bottle.

[grunts]

It's a real old bottle, and it's green.

Yeah. I bet if I clean this up, Gobo would think it was special.

Ha!

[blows]

Oh. Oh, hey. This thing has picture writing on it.

Let's see. "Bottle this rub not do."

Huh?

Oh. "Do not rub this bottle."

Huh. Whoa!

Uh-oh!

[shuddering]

[screams]

[gasps]

[shouting]

[coughing]

Well, it's about time!

Oh, boy, is it cramped in there, and I got a kink in my neck.

I don't wanna say thatthat bottle's small, I don't wanna say thatthat bottle's small,

but I didn't even have enough roomto change my mind. Hey.

[stammering] Who are you?

I'll give you a hint, cutie.

I'm green, I live in a bottle, and I'm not the Good Fairy.

Wait. Y-Y-You're a genie. Wow!

Ooh! And y-y-you're a genius.

-Wow!-Oh!

No, no, but seriously, thanks a lotfor helping me out of that bottle.

-Put her there, pal.-Oh.

Yuk, yuk, yuk! [laughing]

Oh, boy, that trick still worksafter all these ages.

-Ooh.-Um...

So, uh, big nose, what kind ofweird, fuzzy creature are you after all?

Oh, well, I'm Wembley Fraggle. When do I get my wishes?

You had to bring that up, didn't ya?[groaning]

I just thought that whena Fraggle lets a genie out of a bottle,

he gets wishes, doesn't he?

Well, yes and no.

What does that mean?

Used to be yes. Now it's no.

Oh. Since when?

Since now. I got to thinkingwhen I was in that bottle.

Since now. I got to thinkingwhen I was in that bottle.

I... I give everybody wishes, and what do I get?

I get corked upin this rotten bottle for ages.

-Oh.-It's a lousy job. A lousy job.

[sobbing] You can understand that.

-[sobbing]-Sure. That's terrible. That's terrible.

You bet your green, fuzzy face it is.

So, I decided when I got out, I was gonna stand up for myself.

No more wishes.

You understand that, don't you?

Oh. Yeah.

But... But wouldn't you consider, like,

starting with maybe the next guywho opens the bottle?

You're not asking for wishes, now, are ya?

-No, no, no, no. Of course not. No, no.-Good. Good. Good.

Look, I'll tell you what, Wemb. Um... You and me, we're gonna have some fun.

-Huh?-And first, a little magic.

-Yeah. Yeah.-Oh, okay.

We're gonna go and walkthrough a wall. Come on.

-What?-Let's go.

-Wembley, it'll be fun.-I don't know how to do this.

-[both gasp]-Oh! Oh!

[Wembley] Hey, Gobo, Red!

Did you see me? I just walked through a wall!

Did you see me? I just walked through a wall!

Yeah, but... but how?

-Well... [stammering] Who's that?

I found the... Rememberthe green bottle I found?

I rubbed it when I was cleaning it, and out popped a magic genie.

-Well... [chuckles]-A magic genie?

-Yeah. Yeah.-Wow! What have you wished for so far?

[stammering]

-Explain it to him.-Well, he doesn't give out wishes anymore.

-I thought genies always gave wishes.-Yeah.

Oh, hey, hey. Wanna see a great trick?

-Huh?-Watch.

Ta-da!

-Wow, that's fantastic!-Yeah!

Thanks. [laughing]

Oh, no.

Hey, that... that was allthe great stuff we just found.

-Yeah.-Oh, don't be a sourpuss.

Come on, Wemb, let's go where peoplehave a sense of humor.

-Come on. Yeah. Yeah.-[Gobo] Oh, no.

-Oh, what a weird genie.-Hey.

I had a postcardfrom my Uncle Travelling Matt.

-Do you see it anywhere?-Oh, look at this.

-Huh?-It's the bottle the genie came in.

-And it's got writing on it.-Wow.

It says "Do not rub this bottle."

I wonder why. I wonder why.

Maybe we should look it upin Encyclopedia Fragglia.

-Yeah, let's go.-Yeah.

-Here it is, under Genieologies.-Ooh. Ooh.

Uh... Oh, and here he is under Bad Genies.

Uh... Uh...

Oh, listen to this. It says he comes from a broken bottle.

Aw.

And here's a list of his good deedsand his bad deeds.

Uh, stealing, lying, breaking things.

What are his good deeds?

-Those are his good deeds.-Huh?

These are his bad deeds.

[both gasp]

-Oh!-Oh!

-Uh-oh!-[gasps]

We better go warn Wembley.

Yeah, yeah. You go that way, and I'll go this way. [yelps]

I love the little people.

Isn't this great, Wemb? Doing what you wanna do, having fun.

Isn't this great, Wemb? Doing what you wanna do, having fun.

Well, uh, maybe I should get back

and help Gobo clean upall that stuff that broke.

Is that what you want to do?

-Well, no, not really... Then don't do it.

-Let's keep having fun.-[groans]

Wembley! Wembley, you better stay awayfrom that genie!

-[panting]-Why, Gobo?

Well, because, accordingto the Encyclopedia Fragglia,

he's no good.

-He lies, he steals...-[gasps]

he cheats, and things I can't even mention.

[gasps]

Is it true?

-Wembley, let me ask you a question.-Uh-huh.

This Googoo here... - Gobo.-[chuckles]

Yeah, Googoo, Gogo, whatever.

Would you say a lot of timeshe tells you what to do?

Well, yeah, all the time.

-That's right.-Yeah.

Then, Wembley, it's timeyou stood up for yourself.

What?

Wembley, don't listen to him. He's gonna get you in trouble.

I think he even[whispers] stole my postcard.

[gasps]

Did you see me take it, Gooby?

My name's Gobo. And when you left, it was gone.

Well, we don't have to stand herefor these wild accusations.

Well, we don't have to stand herefor these wild accusations.

Wembley, tell your friendthat we're leaving.

-But... But, Gobo, I have to... Wembley, you better not.

Uh, Genie, I can't.I never say things like that to Gobo.

Wembley, for the last time, stand up for yourself.

-Think of it. Uh, we're both green.-[whines]

-Uh...-Now say good-bye.

[whooshing]

-Uh...-[Genie] Come on, kid.

Good-bye, Gobo.

[Gobo] Wembley!

[nose honks]

Wemb...

-[thuds]-[groans]

You were great back there, Wembley, the way you stood up to Gobo

and told him just what you thought.

-Did I?-Yeah.

-Guess I did.-And even coming to my defense.

Imagine your friend Gobo accusing me

of stealinghis Uncle Travelling Matt's postcard.

-You wouldn't do that.-Nah.

The point is, Wembley... The point is I thank you.

-Oh.-You're a real pal. Hey, put it there.

-Oh!-Yuk! [laughing]

-That kills me! Kills me.-Hey! Wait a second.

- What's that in your shirt?-Hmm? What? - What's that in your shirt?-Hmm? What?

What is that?

-What? What? [gasps]-[gasps]

-How'd this get here?-[gasps]

-Ah, we might as well read it, huh?-But... But...

"Dear Nephew Gobo..."

[Matt] Today I found myselfin a very sad place,

a place where Silly Creatures, even little ones, are kept behind bars.

Silly Creatures are strange,

but that's no reasonto keep them behind bars.

All right. Who is responsible for this? I demand that they step forward.

[trumpeting]

[stammering]

Um, on the other hand,

perhaps I could get my point acrossjust as easily in a... in a postcard!

[Matt] It is important to stand upfor what you believe in.

Please let me in there! [whimpering]

-[trumpeting]-Please! [whimpering]

"Love, your Uncle Travelling Matt."

-Um, Genie, don't get mad...-Hmm?

But that postcard, did you steal that from Gobo?

-Steal! Me? Steal this?-[shuddering] I was, uh...

I just borrowed it... on a permanent basis.

I just borrowed it... on a permanent basis.

-Uh...-Hey, who's that?

-Oh, that's Boober.-Come on.

Oh. But... But...

[clicks tongue] Oh. [sighs]

Hmm. [humming]

-[grunting]-What's he hanging up ghosts for?

Oh, those aren't ghosts. No, no, no. They're just bedsheets.

And Boober's washing thembecause Boober loves doing laundry.

If those were ghosts... [chuckles]

If those were ghosts, Boober would bescared to death. [chuckles]

-Really?-Yeah.

-That gives me an idea. Watch this.-What?

[imitating ghosts] Ooh!

Ooh!

[whispers] Duck!

-Ooh!-Ghosts!

-[screaming]-Ooh!

[screaming]

-Ooh!-Ghosts!

Ooga booga!

[weakly] Ooga booga. [weakly] Ooga booga.

-[ghostly moaning]-[all screaming]

[Gobo] Hey, what...

Hey, listen. No, wait. Wait. Listen. Calm down. Listen to me.

It's all the work of that awful genie.

[laughing]

-See there?-[laughing uproariously]

Oh, I told you, Mokey.

-Very funny, Wembley.-[Genie] Oh, boy.

I don't know who your big, greenfriend is, but I'm surprised at you.

I... I could have hurt my legor broken my tail,

-or suffered amnesia.-Yes.

Not to mentionthe psychological effect around trust.

Ah, come on, Wemb. Let's get out of herebefore they lecture us.

-But... Oh.-Come on, move it. Move it, move it.

-Yuck!-[groans]

Who was that big, green, awful creature?

I'll explain on the way.

But meanwhile, it's time we did something about that guy.

-Yeah.-[laughing]

Oh, boy, Wembley, we're sure having fun...

Hey! Hey, why so glum, chum?

Oh, I don't know. Something's wrong.

[sighs]Ever since I let you out of that bottle,

I'm laughing, but I'm not having that much fun,

I'm laughing, but I'm not having that much fun,

and everybody's mad at us.

Why couldn't you have just beena regular genie

and just given me a few wishes?

Hey, you don't want those, do ya?

I thought you wantedto stand up for yourself.

The only way to learn to stand upfor yourself is to listen to me.

-Now look. Here's a guitar.-Uh...

Wembley, I got a songthat's gonna explain everything to ya.

-And it goes a little like this.-But...

[Genie strumming guitar]

Hey, put that guitar down.

And what are you gonna doif I don't, carrot-face?

[Boober whimpers]

-We're gonna put you back in that bottle.-Yeah!

-Yeah!-Yeah!

[laughing]

-That's what you think!-Oh!

I'm never going back in that bottle.

And there aren't enough of you Fragglesin this rock to put me there!

-[gasps]-I'm never going back, understand?

Never.

Never.

Never!

Oh, no.

-Ha! Out of my way!-[Boober screams]

Move it! Move it. Move it, move it, move it!

Ow. [groaning]

[Wembley] Oh!

Gosh, Wembley, I don't want to blame you, but this is your fault.

Gosh, Wembley, I don't want to blame you, but this is your fault.

-Oh!-Never mind that now, Boober.

The important thing isgetting that genie back in the bottle.

No, he's right. It is my fault.

I'll think of something. [whimpers]

[laughing]

Yeah, I'll just putsome finishing touches on this.

[whispers] Now, Gobo, you're not gonnaforget to come in when I call...

Wembley, don't worry about itand don't think about it. Just do it.

-I'll go hide.-Okay. Okay. Okay.

[Genie laughing]

-Um... Um...-[Genie] Well, look who's here.

-Yeah.-Hey, big nose, want some radish beer?

No. And you shouldn't be drinkingthat stuff either. It's bad for ya.

Give me a break, Wemb. You're too much of a goody-goody.

[stammering] Well, my name's Wembley,

and you're not half as tough as... as you think you are.

-I'm even tougher.-Uh... Oh, yeah?

Well... Well, I bet you can't... you can't lift that boulder over there.

-What, that one there?-Yeah, the big one.

[groans] Out of the way.

[chuckles] Oh, this is so tough.

I'll never lift this.-[muttering] Gobo. Gobo.

I'll never lift this.-[muttering] Gobo. Gobo.

Wembley, here.

Ooh, I never could lift that, could I?

-[laughing]-[boulder crashing]

Well, okay, okay.[stammers] So, you're strong.

Huh? Huh? Let's see if you're smart.

I'll bet you can't say "genie" backwards.

"Eineg." Give me something harder.

Okay, well, I bet you couldn'tdo something really spectacular,

like jump through my fingers.

No problem.

-Quick, Gobo, bring the stopper!-[Genie] Hey, what's going on? Hey!

Let me out! Let me... [straining]

All right. We did it! [laughs]

-You were great, Wembley.-Aw.

-Wait till I tell the others.-Oh, boy!

[laughing] Hey, I caught you.

And now we're gonnabury you forever, and, uh...

Oh, gee.

You look so... so small and helpless in there.

What am I saying? He's bossy and nasty and mean.

What am I saying? He's bossy and nasty and mean.

If I let you out, they'd be furious at me.

You'd probably tear the whole place apart.

Oh, but... but if I don't, I'll always knowl buried you forever and ever.

Oh.

Okay, okay, I'll let you out,

but you have to promise to go far awayfrom here, all right? Okay.

[straining]

[shuddering]

-[loud boom]-Whoa!

Oh, thanks... for nothing.

[laughing uproariously]

Gee, I hope I did the right thing.

Oh, Sprocket, that's ridiculous.

The joke about the dogwho was so dumb he chased parked cars,

-I think that's funny.-[growling]

Okay, name one other thing you don't like.

[barks]

The poster?

And is there anything else you don't like?

[growling]

No way. I'm not giving into these demands. N-O.

[growling] [growling]

[all cheering]

[all] Heerble, deerble, beerble, vest, Wembley Fraggle is the best!

Yay, Wembley!

[Red whooping]

Go ahead, Wembley. Tell them how you captured the genie.

Well... [stammers] I'd just liketo hurry up and bury this bottle.

Hey, hey, Wembley.

-Huh?-Wembley.

I never got a chance to see the bottle.

Do you think you could show it to mebefore you bury it?

-It's nothing special.-Please.

It's just an old bottle.

Sure it's special, Wembley. It's one ofthe most special bottles I've ever seen.

-Come on, Wembley.-No, no, please.

Come on, Wembley. Show it to him. Come on.

-Oh!-[Fraggles gasping]

Oh, no.

I've killed the genie.

[all groaning]

No, you didn't, Gobo.

Oh, but the bottle's busted into pieces.

Yeah, well, the genie wasn't in the bottle.

But I saw you capture him.

That's true. Good point. But I let him out again.

That's true. Good point. But I let him out again.

You did what?

Oh, but don't worry. He won't bother us again.

I made him promise to gofar, far away from here.

-[Genie guffawing]-[Fraggles screaming]

That's what you think, big nose.

I lied. [laughing]

Besides, I wouldn't wantto leave Fraggle Rock

knowing how much you'd all miss me, right?

-[all] No!-What?

Why...

-[all] Yes, master.-[whimpers]

And now the fun begins.

This... This has gone far enough! Someone's gonna get hurt.

Well, I let you out of that bottle, and I wish you'd stop all this!

[stammering]

-Your wish is my command.-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You can't just do what you want to do,

not if it wrecks the placeor hurts someone. You can't...

-What'd you say?-Your wish is my command.

My wi...

Really?

I wish you'd explain.

I was bound to give you your wishesif you asked for them.

You... You mean all I had to dowas stand up for myself?

Yes, master, that's it in a nutshell.

Wow! In that case, I wish all the Fraggleswere themselves again.

Your wish is my command. Your wish is my command.

[loud boom]

-[Fraggles chattering]-[Wembley gasps]

Uh, I wish all the stuffthat was broken was fixed.

Your wish is my command.

[loud boom]

[Fraggle] How does he do it?

Anything else?

Uh, I wish I could make you understand

the difference betweenstanding up for yourself

and just doing whatever you want to do.

Your wish is my command.

I suddenly understand.

[Fraggles murmuring]

Fraggles, dear, dear Fraggles, I wish now to apologize to any one of you

whom I... I may have offended, scared, inconvenienced, or bamboozled.

-[Fraggle] Aw.-And now... [sobbing]

Now I'll go back to my little,

-tiny... lonely... bottle.-[Fraggles sighing]

-No, no. Wait, wait.-[sobbing]

Wait. No, no. I have one more wish. Wait. No, no. I have one more wish.

Yes, master? [sobbing]

I wish you were free and never hadto go back to that awful bottle again.

[all agreeing]

You'd really wish that for me?

Mm-hmm.

Your command is my wish. Put her there, pal.

[all murmuring]

[all laughing and cheering]

Okay, Sprocket, I give in to point oneof your list of demands.

I'll take out the joke about the dumb dog. You're probably right.

It's doggist.

-[grunts]-Oh, point two?

Well, I agree to give you top billing.

We'll be "The Amazing 'Sprocket'and His Talking Human 'Doc.'"

You know, Sprocket, I got to admit. You do know how to stand up for yourself.

[barks]

What?

Oh, all right. I agree to your final demand.

-You don't have to wear the arrow.-[murmurs]

-I'll wear it.-[barks]
