[Sprocket humming]

[exclaims]

It's an outrage. A complete outrage.

They're... They're trying to passa pet curfew in this town.

-Listen to this.-Huh?

"All pets must bekept indoors at all times."

[exclaims]

Some fuddy-duddy is complainingthat pets are too much of a burden

on the community.

-[grunting]-But no one...

No one is going to chainDoc and dog. No one!

[whining]

[Red grunting]

Got our route figured out yet, Mokey?

Hmm? Oh.

Everyone says the course

for the All-Day, Cross-CaveBeanbarrow Race Finals is really tricky.

Well, don't you worry about that, Red. I know this map like the tip of my tail.

We are gonna do just fine.-[grunts] You bet.

We are gonna do just fine.-[grunts] You bet.

With an expert like you navigating

and a powerhouse like mepushing the beanbarrow...

[grunts]Gobo and Wembley don't stand a chance.

Well, that's becausewe are a real team, Red.

Why, the communicationbetween us is incredible.

-Almost intuitive.-Yes, which is why, um...

Which is why I know thatyou've already sensed

and already understand

why I'm taking Lanfordalong with us on the race.

Lanford?

-[barbell crashing]-[whimpering]

Well, Red, you know how worriedl've been about him.

And, well, just look at him.

Lanford is a Yellow-LeavedNight-Blooming Deathwort.

He's not supposed to havered polka dots all over him.

-[purring]-Oh!

How can I leave himwhen he looks like this? Oh.

But... but... but... Lanford?

Oh, uh, uh, don't you thinkhe'll make the beanbarrow too heavy?

Oh, no, he's quite light.

Oh, but, Lanford... We don't even like each other.

Oh, but, Lanford... We don't even like each other.

-[Lanford growling]-In fact, we hate each other!

-[growling]-[screams] Whoa!

Oh, Red.

-[groaning]-Oh, I'm sorry.

-[grunts]-He's a killer!

-[growls]-No, he's not. He's not.

He's quite loving and sweetwhen you get to know him.

[giggling] Aren't you?

-Besides...-Yeah?

The change'll do him good.

And look at the sweaterl've knit him to wear on the race.

Oh, Mokey, do we have to?

Well, I can't navigate while I'm worriedabout Lanford, can I?

Oh, I guess not.

Oh, thank you, Red. I knew you'd understand.

Uh, that's what makes ussuch a perfect team, right?

Yeah, yeah.

-[Fraggles clamoring]-Excuse me, what is all that?

Hey, what's all the fuss down there?

Oh, I just saw a whole nestof Clinging Creepers...

-Creepers.-...down by Table Rock Cavern.

-Cavern.-[Mokey] No!

Well, don't panic, anyone. We know how to handle them.

Well, don't panic, anyone. We know how to handle them.

Yeah.

The smell of flowersalways drives them away.

-[gasps]-Yeah. Call out the Bouquet Brigades.

We've gotta startstringing flowers around.

-Oh, just the thought of those things!-Ugh!

Clinging Creepers crawling all over you.Yuck.

Killer weeds rooting you to the spot.

-Choking you.-[wailing]

Mokey!

I haven't got time to talk now, Red.

Ah! You see,

I am a member of the Clinging CreepersEmergency Flower Defense League.

Which means it's my duty as a Fraggleto go collect posies.

[exclaims]

Oh, but don't you worry. I'll be back before you know it.

[stammering]

-Mokey, wait!-[screaming]

[Fraggles clamoring]

Okay, this'll be great.

We'll use all these flowersto make the necessary headbands.

All right, Bouquet Brigade Two, drop your blossoms.

That's it. That's good.

Red's always boasting, Wembley.

Imagine, her claiming thatshe and Mokey could beat us

Imagine, her claiming thatshe and Mokey could beat us

in the Cross-Cave Beanbarrow Race.

-Oh, gosh, what a silly idea, eh, Gobo?-Yeah.

-[chuckles]-I mean, Red's good.

-Oh, she's very good.-But she's not that good.

Of course not, no. No way is she that...

Come on, Wembley, I don't wanna get overprepared.

-Let's go see how Red's doing.-Okay.

Hey, Gobo, Wembley,

don't forget to see me before the racefor your floral headband.

Oh, yeah. A flower a daykeeps the Clingers away. [chuckling]

"A flower a day keeps the Clingers away." That's... That's very good!

A little overly familiar, perhaps, but, well...

[Gobo and Wembley laughing]

-Lanford?-[laughing]

I don't believe it!

Mokey won't leave him here by himself. She's worried about him.

[clears throat] Uh, those polka dotsall over his leaves...

Uh, what's wrong with Lanford?

It's not, like, uh, catching, is it?

With my luck, it probably is.

-Well, come on. It's not that bad.-No.

It's that bad.

Well, to make it fair, Wembley's gonna carry a plant, too.

Well, to make it fair, Wembley's gonna carry a plant, too.

-He is?-I am?

Yeah. The banana tree on your shirt.

[both laughing]

Oh! [grunting]

Oh, Mokey, where are you?

There. Fine Gorg butter, and a little elbow grease,

and we'll really be flying.

That's right.

[Oldest Fraggle grumbling]

But Your Oldestness, I'm sure allthe contestants will be here any minute.

Sonny, when you get to be my age, you don't have many minutes left.

[scoffs] Let's get this race rolling.

Hey, Red! Mokey!

-We'll be right down.-[growls]

They'll be right down.

-Well, tell them to make it snappy!-[shudders]

Attention, please!

The World's Oldest Fragglehas asked me to tell you to...

-[thuds]-Make it snappy!

-Make it snappy.-Grr.

-[gnashing]-Lanford, back off!

Oh... You are only coming alongbecause my best friend wants you to.

Oh... You are only coming alongbecause my best friend wants you to.

But let me make it clearthat I think this is a totally dumb idea!

I said, make it snappy! [sighs]

Where is everybody?

Mokey!

I don't know about anyone else, but I've got better things to do.

You hear that? Better things to do!

-And I don't just mean better...-Oh.

We are going down to wait for Mokeyat the starting line, Lanford.

But if you do anything to trip us up... [gnashing]

Watch it, fungus breath!

-[hissing]-[groans]

[scoffs] Giving up down here. Falling asleep.

[sighs] Wake me if you ever passthrough the Great Hall.

I said, wake me if you ever passthrough the Great Hall!

[grunts] Let's go. Mokey had better be there.

-[chomping]-Lanford, let go!

-[straining]-[Lanford growling]

-[screams]-[beanbarrow crashing]

[Red grunts] Whoa! Ooh!

Why do I get the feelingthis isn't going to work out?

Flower Force Five, forward!

And remember, keep to the right of Swinging Boulder

when you're cutting through Zigzag Tunnel,

'cause there's Clinging Creepersdown the left side of the tunnel.

-Tunnel?-Oh, hi there.

Are you, uh, quite finished?

Yes, absolutely. Sorry. No problem.

Good. On your marks!

Uh, uh, wait!

I'm not ready yet. My navigator isn't here.

[all gasping]

Well, then, who is this weird-looking Fraggle

with the polka-dot leaves?

-He's a plant, sir.-Yeah.

"He's a plant, sir."

Just how much of a dimp do you think I am?

-Well, he'll have to do.-What?

-On your marks, get set...-But... Oh!

The rules. You forgot the rules.

-Will you stop interrupting me?-[all laughing]

-First, the rules.-Okay.

Oh! [screaming]

Well, all this palaveris just a waste of breath.

[Mokey panting]

This younger generationnever listens anyway.

[Mokey] Uh, I didn't miss them, did I?

-Pardon? I wasn't listening.-[stammering]

Oh. Oh.

Hey, Gobo, we've got a big lead over Red now.

-Great. Just keep your eyes to the front.-What?

Oh, you bet. You bet.

-[Gobo grunting]-Oh, hey!

Hard left, Gobo. Hard... Ooh. Oh, boy!

The Spring Vines dead ahead! Go to the left! Go to the left!

Now back to the right.

Ooh, I love a good race.

[Lanford growling]

-How am I doing?-[growling]

I don't... Whoa! Lanford, you're in the navigator's seat,

you're supposed to warn meabout these things.

Oh, with helpers like you, who needs enemies?

[Gobo] Keep a sharp lookout, Wembley. Swinging Boulder's around here someplace.

And it moves so slow, it's easy to miss. And it moves so slow, it's easy to miss.

-You bet!-Whoa!

[Gobo] We wanna make sureto go down that tunnel to the right.

'Cause of that patch of Clinging Creepersdown the left-hand one.

-[Wembley screaming]-[Gobo] Whoa!

[Red] Lanford, since Mokey missed the barrow,

and we're stuck with each other, why not try to be helpful?

Which you sure haven't been so far.

-[hissing]-[Red screaming]

[Lanford shrieking]

[Red] Since you can't push, Lanford, don't be pushy.

-This is my race!-[Lanford screaming]

-[Lanford chirruping]-[Red grunting]

Okay. Official break.

-[panting]-[Lanford grunting]

Hey, guys! First official break time!

-[Lanford growling]-What's happening?

They weren't that far ahead of us.

Gobo! Wembley!

[both] Red!

Oh, Gobo, do you think we should wait for her?

Oh, Gobo, do you think we should wait for her?

-Official break time!-[sighs]

-Whoa. I'm exhausted.-Me too.

Phew. [sighs]

Besides, it's not our faultshe can't hear us.

Yeah. Hey, this seems likea perfect opportunity

to read this postcardfrom Uncle Travelling Matt.

-Hey, you're right, it does.-Yeah. Yeah.

"Dear Nephew Gobo..."

[Matt] The other day, I was walking along, following a very strange, flat staircase,

when suddenly a monstrous, fire-breathing beast

with eyes glowing hideously

-appeared behind me.-[whistle blowing]

Naturally, I was curious.

[screams, grunts]

And I paused, courageously, I might add, to study the beast.

Imagine my surprise when I saw thata silly creature rode on its back.

In fact, it was obviously his pet.

Ever eager to learn, I joined the silly creature

on the back of the beastin order to study it more closely.

Well, your little pet seemsto be quite hungry.

Well, your little pet seemsto be quite hungry.

So I helped to feed it.

[whistle blowing]

And then the great beast was so grateful

that it carried me on its back for many, many, many, many, many, many miles.

[Matt] Here, let me help you with that.

Ow! Ooh, it's hot.

"Love, your Uncle Travelling Matt."

[sighs]

[clicks tongue]

-Wembley!-[exclaims]

You're the one that asked meto read this card.

Oh, I'm sorry, Gobo. I... I just keep wondering where Red is.

You don't think that maybe, somehow,

possibly, she might havegotten ahead of us, do you?

-I don't know, but it is possible.-Uh-huh?

-She really wanted to win this race.-Oh, yeah.

-She might have found a shortcut.-[screams]

-We'd better hurry! Whoa.-[grunting]

Okay. Whoa, careful. Gobo, careful!

Boy, you sure use up a lot of Gorg butterduring these races.

[Lanford growling]

What? Are you tryingto tell me something, Lanford?

What? Are you tryingto tell me something, Lanford?

Well, what is it?

Uh... sounds like map?

-[Lanford chirruping]-What?

Looks like map?

-[groans]-What?

[exclaiming]

Look at the map?

Okay, I'll look at the map. Uh...

All right, Table Rock Cavern. Yeah.

Table Rock Cavern!

[both shuddering]

-We took a wrong turn?-[chirruping]

Oh, [stuttering] but this is awful. This is where the Clinging Creep… ers...

[both whimpering]

It's a good thingl've got my floral head... band.

Oh, no. It's gone.

That Spring Vine you didn't warn me about! How could you?

How could you?

-Help! Help!-[Lanford screaming]

[both shrieking]

Help! Help!

Only four signatures on our petitionagainst the pet curfew.

That's pathetic.

Everyone seems to thinkthat pets are a burden on the community,

even the postman.

[growls]

"Oh, don't take it personally, Sprocket, but some of your relatives bite."

Oh... Ooh, I could have almostbitten him myself.

-[barking]-There's only one thing for it.

What, me? Bite the postman? Don't be ridiculous.

No, what I'm saying is, we have got to beard the lion in its den.

We've gotta take the bull by the horns.

Well, I don't mean that.

We should go down now, immediately, to the town hall meeting,

-you and me.-[howling]

We're gonna march in thereand demand a hearing.

[barks]

Well, it's the only way. For pets and people!

[barking]

-[Clinging Creepers rustling]-[Red whimpering]

[Lanford chirruping] [Lanford chirruping]

Oh, come on, Lanford.

We've gotta do something. [groans]

[gasps] You're a plant.Yeah. Talk to them.

-[chirruping]-[chuckles, shrieks]

I don't think I want youto translate that.

Well, I can't climb this rock.

But I bet if I boosted you up, [grunts]you could grab something up on top

and pull yourself up the rest of the way.

[straining]

Mokey'd kill meif anything happened to you.

[panting]

Oh... Well, I'm not gonnagive up without a fight.

Ha! Okay, back! Back!

[grunting]

[shrieks]

Lanford! We're safe. [chuckles] Lanford! We're safe. [chuckles]

-At least for now.-[Lanford chirruping]

[all snoring]

I just can't believe I missed that race.

I hate myself. I just hate myself.[groans]

-[Gobo grunting]-Gobo. Oh, Gobo.

-Gobo, Red and Lanford, well, they... Oh, I know. I know.

[sighs] They probably beat usby a Gorg's age.

Mm-mm.

The winners and new champions!

Did you say "winners"?

But I... I thought Red passed us long ago.

No, no. We haven't seen Red and Lanford at all.

And I'm feeling so badlyabout missing the race.

On your marks...

-But then where could she be?-Get set...

There's no wayl can see to escape, Lanford.

Well, thanks for savingmy life back there.

You gave it a good shot. You gave it a good shot.

And, uh... sorry I snapped at you so much.

Uh, you know, being stuck heremakes me realize

it must be tough being stuck in a potin the corner all the time.

Well, in the future...

if there is a future,

I'm gonna take you out for walks, because for a Deathwort,

you're really, you know, lively!

-And likable.-[chirrups]

-[kisses]-Aw!

I...

I just wish you'd been different.

[chirrups]

No, no, no. I don't mean personally.[gasps]

You see, the only thing that will drivethose Clinging Creepers away now

is the smell of flowers.

So, I just wish that in this situation, you'd been a flower.

-[chirrups excitedly]-What? What is it?

[exclaims]

You're getting ready to flower?

That's why you're coveredin red polka dots!

Oh, well, come on, then. Let's have it.

[grunts]

Come on, it's Deathwort blossom time!

-[gasps, groans]-Oh.

Well, is there anything I can do to help?

-[panting]-Yeah, yeah.

[chirrups melodically]

Sing you a lullaby?

-Is this some kind of sick joke?-[grunts]

[panting] But, Lanford, well...

A lullaby?

They're so sloppy and sentimental.

-[Clinging Creepers rustling]-[whimpers]

Oh, uh, suddenly I've got this wild urgeto sing one to you.

-[Lanford grunting]-[Red vocalizing]

[Lanford chirrups melodically]

I have to rock you too? I have to rock you too?

[sighs] Oh, okay.

-[chirrups contentedly]-[groans]

This better work, Lanford.

[sighs] You have no ideaof the sacrifice I'm making.
