Dance your cares away

Worry's for another day Let the music play

Down at Fraggle Rock

Down at Fraggle Rock Down at Fraggle Rock

Down at Fraggle Rock.

Oh, no, I forgot the key again.

Sprocket, you go inthrough the dog door and get it.

I don't wanna walk across the street

and ask Ned Shimmelfinneyfor the spare key,

he'd laugh his head off.

Good boy, Sprockie. I knew you could do it.

Now we can get in, and Shimmelfinney...

What are you doing, Sprocket?

I know you don't like Shimmelfinney, but do we have to discuss it now?

Sprocket!

Sprocket, let me in, will you? Come on, Sprocket.

Shimmelfinney.

I'll get him for this.

I'm going to see Boober He's going to see me

Hey, won't that be fun?

Boober's my buddy Boober's my buddy

And Boober's my pal Won't that be funny?

Oh, boy. Boober and Iare gonna have some fun today!

Hello, Boober.

Boober?

Boober?

Boober?

Boober, what did you do that for?

Wembley, I'm happy to tell you thatyour baloobius is in fine working order.

But you almost scared me to death!

Impossible. Any Fraggle with a healthy baloobius

cannot possibly be scared to death.

Look.

-Let go.-You see, this is your baloobius.

Yeah, I know.

If it's working properly, it flares out when you're scared.

I'm running a series of testson everybody.

-But, Boober... Don't thank me.

Thank you? For scaring me silly?

Well, Wembley, in order to testyour baloobius, I have to scare you.

-That's how it works.-Well...

You can... You cantake your baloobius test...

Yep, that's one healthy baloobius. Yep, that's one healthy baloobius.

But, Wembley, I was only trying to help.

I'll show that Boober, scaring me like that.

I'll show him just what it feels like. I'll scare him.

Now, let's see. How'd he do it?

-Hi.-Hi, Wembley. How's it going?

Fine. Fine.

That didn't work at all.

Let's see, what if I did itjust like a little spin, like...

I guess I just don't havethe knack for this.

If I'm gonna scare Boober, I'm gonna need help.

-Yes, you did.-No, I didn't.

-You did too.-I did not.

-Did too.-Did not.

Boys, boys.

If you two don't pipe down, I'm going to lose my temper.

I've read the same sentence six times.

Well, don't blow up at me, blow up at him.

He's the one who did it.

-Did not.-Did too.

-Did not.-Did too.

When I blow up, I'll blow upat both of you. Now, be quiet.

When I blow up, I'll blow upat both of you. Now, be quiet.

We've got a visitor.

Hello.

You are in the presence of... the all-knowing...

- the all-seeing...- ...Trash Heap!

Hello, little Fraggle, what can I do for you?

Madam Heap,

I wanna scare my friend Boober, because he scared me.

-Well, I don't blame you.-Yeah, go for it.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Maybe your friendwas just testing your baloobius.

Well, he was. But still... Listen to me, little Fraggle.

If you try to scare your friend back, that is revenge.

And if you seek revenge, you take the consequences.

-But... The Trash Heap has spoken.

-She did not.-Did too.

-Did not.-Did too.

I need some peace and quiet.

Goodbye, little Fraggle. And remember what I said.

It's good advice.

But he scared me first.

-You can't let him get away with that.-No!

But he was onlytesting my baloobius.

Well, test his baloobius back.

-Yeah!-Yeah!

But how?

Listen. Listen, if you wanna scare your friend,

all you gotta do is say, "Boo!"

-That's pretty scary, isn't it, Philo?-Not scary.

Not as scary as making snakesfly out of his cupboard.

Now, that's what I calldownright terrifying.

Yeah, that's terrifying. Give me a break.

No, no. I tell you, "Boo!"

It's the only way to go. Simple, but effective.

Sure. "Boo." "Boo."

No. That's nowhere near as horrificas making pebbles fall on his head,

or scary masks pop up in his face!

-Yeah. Now, that's scary.-Wow!

Why bother with all that? Your basic boowill do the trick every time.

Yeah, boo! I like boo.

Putting fake spiders in the bedis far superior.

Guaranteed to shock your socks off.

-It is not.-It is too!

-It's not!-It is too!

-Not! Not!-Too! Too!

Boys, boys, what's going on up here?

-Let's see...-You two arguing again?

-Who, us?-Nah.

Snakes, pebbles, spiders...

Hello, little Fraggle. Are you still here?

-Yeah.-Now, remember what I said.

You seek revenge, you take the consequences.

Yeah, well...

Thank you, Madam Heap, I really appreciate the advice.

Especially the part about saying boo!

-Boo? Oh, yeah. Boo.-Boo! Yeah.

Look, I promise you, it's the way to go. Trust me.

But you gotta say itat just the right moment.

But don't forget the alternatives.

-What do you mean?-Listen.

Sing it for the spiders

Sing it for the snakes

Sing it for the bad things

Making Fraggles shake Well, listen:

'Cause I know how to dare theml don't even spare them

I just stand and scare them

Who's afraid of spiders?

-You?-Nah.

Who's afraid of snakes?

Who's afraid of bad things? Who's afraid of bad things?

Not me.

Making Fraggles shake?

Now, go on and applyyour newfound knowledge.

Okay, thanks, guys!

Boy, this is gonna be great. I'm gonna get him now!

Sing it for the goblins

Sing it for the ghouls

Sing it for the ghosties

And make 'em feel like fools Oh, boy!

'Cause I know how to dare them I don't even spare them

I just stand and scare them

Who's afraid of spiders?

Who's afraid of snakes?

Who's afraid of bad things

Making Fraggles quake?

Listen to this.

Well, I know how to dare theml don't even spare them

I just stand and scare them.

And I sneak up behind 'em. And I get ready.

And I let 'em have it! I go, "Boo!"

Boy, I'm ready now. I'll get back at Boober.

I'll show him what it's liketo be shocked out of your socks.

Socks! That's a good idea.

Yeah, let's see.

I'll hide under the laundry, just like Boober did,

and when he comes in, boo!

I'll let him have it.

So Wembley thinkshe's gonna scare me.

This could be interesting.

Now all I have to dois wait for the right moment.

Oh, boy. Here comes Boober. Here he comes.

Oh, brother.

One, two, three.

Boober!

Wow, Wembley, your baloobius is in fine working order.

You scared me again.

Well, face it, Wembley, I'm an expert on fear.

Let me show you a little devicethat I've just been working on.

You see...

you might find this useful. You might find this useful.

You wanna know what happenswhen you step on this?

What?

Well, why don't you step on itand find out?

You did it again, Boober.

-But, Wembley...-Don't talk to me, Boober.

But I'm only trying to help.

I'll get you without your help!

The other day,

I discovered that the Silly Creatureshere in Outer Space

have devised a very clever wayof testing their own baloobiuses.

When the Silly Creatures are asleep, suddenly a loud bell rings.

Sorry.

Though ingenious,

this baloobius test was not as effectiveas one would have hoped.

I decided to administera proper baloobius test.

And they passed with flying colors!

Yes.

And their aim isn't bad either.

Stop it!

"Love, your Uncle Travelling Matt." "Love, your Uncle Travelling Matt."

-Wembley would've liked that one.-Yeah.

Where is he anyway?

He's probably hiding somewhere, waiting to scare me.

-Really?-Yeah.

What an interesting way to interact.

Well, I better go find himbefore he finds me.

Oh, no, you won't. Because I'm gonnaget you first, Boober Fraggle.

-Boo. Boo.-Well, I guess we better be going too.

-Goodbye, Gobo, see you later.-Oh, boy. Here he comes.

-Oh, no!-What happened? What is it?

What was that about, Wembley?

-It was a mistake!-Why did you do that?

-I'm sorry! I'm sorry!-Sorry? Look at these baloobiuses.

Why, Wembley, these twoare in fine, fine shape.

I really appreciateyou helping me with my testing.

Yes. And, Wembley, I would appreciateyour never doing that again, okay?

-I won't, Mokey, I promise. Sorry.-Dumb, Wembley. Very dumb.

-I'm sorry.-Hey, Red! Race you to Gumbo Gulch.

Last one there's a... baloobius.

Oh, rats.

Wembley, Wembley, Wembley.

So you make a little mistake.

-Don't let that get you down.-It won't.

-Want me to tell you where you went wrong?-No!

Wembley, why don't you forgetabout trying to scare me?

I've gotta go get some more rock soap.

You wanna come with medown to Rock Soap Cavern?

-No.-Come on.

-Come on, Wembley. Please? Come on.-Okay.

Good.

Wait a second.

You're going all the way downto Rock Soap Cavern now?

Well, yes. I have to washall that laundry you hid under.

On second thought, I think maybe I might just stay behind

and polish my pebble collection, or something like that.

-Okay, suit yourself.-Yeah, okay.

-Bye.-Bye.

Oh, boy. I'm gonna get him this time. Pebbles, spiders...

Wembley, it's all in the timing.

I'm gonna...

Boober?

Good. He's gone.

I'd better get to work.

Saying boo didn't get him, but this'll shock his socks off.

Skweet, skwat a lot

Make it scary

Very, very

Quite contrary

A cash-and-carry Dromedary

Necess-ess-essary to do If this don't get you

Skeet down the street

And finally, fake spiders for his bed.

I'll put 'em right here next to his pj's.

Oh, boy, Philo and Gungeare gonna love this.

Wait till I tell 'em.

Marjory.

What is it now?

Now, listen, you two.

Any more disturbances and I'll blow up!

Well, don't blow up at me. It was his idea.

-It was not.-Was too.

-Was not!-Was too!

Hey, hey! I did everything you said!

I tried "boo" first, and when that didn't work,

I put spiders in his bed and riggedpebbles that'll fall on his head

and scary masks that'll jump out at him! And scary masks that'll jump out at him!

And... And get this:

I even put flying snakes in his cupboard!

You did what?

I even put flying snakes in his cupboard!

The boys just playedthat old trick on me.

-Yeah, yeah.-Yeah, I'll tell you, I nearly blew up.

You did? You did?

Yeah. I nearly blew up,

but I wasn't really, really, really, really scared,

so I didn't.

The boys were lucky...

this time.

But... But, wait. Wait a second.

You mean, if she'd been really scared,

-she would have... blown up?-Yup. Blown up.

No, no, no.

Yes, yes, yes.

Blown up, as in, "kaboom."

-Not a pretty sight. No.-Oh, no. Not pretty at all.

Oh, no!

It's a long way down to Rock Soap Cavern.

I could use a nap.

Oh, brother.

Wembley, Wembley, Wembley.

These are the oldest tricks in the book. These are the oldest tricks in the book.

First, the snakes.

Then the pebbles on the head.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Then the masks.

And I'll bet you...

I'll bet you he's even put fake spidersin my bed.

Yep. What did I say?

Well... this place is too much of a mess.

I can't sleep here.

I'll go have a nice nap in the pantry.

And then I'll come backand clean up this mess.

I hope I'm not too late!

Boober!

Boober!

Boober blew up!

Okay, Ned. See you in a few minutes.

Sprocket, we'll get Shimmelfinneyfor sure.

When he walks through that door,

first, this scary headwill pop up from the floor.

Then when he backs up with a shock, he'll hit a trip wire,

Then when he backs up with a shock, he'll hit a trip wire,

which causes this boxing glove to pop out.

And finally, we press a buttonfrom our hiding place,

which will send these armadillosscuttling across the floor.

Okay, we're all set. He'll be here in a few seconds.

Hide in your basket, Sprocket.

Watch the trip wire.

This'll teach Shimmelfinneyto play tricks with me.

Let me cover you over. That's it.

Gobo...

Gobo, I just blew up Boober! What should I do?

Gobo?

Gobo!

-Wembley.-Gobo...

-Can't a Fraggle get a nap around here?-But, Gobo...

You just scaredthe radish resin out of me.

-I'm sorry, but... Listen, my baloobius is fine.

-Now leave me alone.-But, Gobo...

Oh, yes.

Now, see, Red, if you really concentrate,

you can sensethe inner life of the flower. You can sensethe inner life of the flower.

Try. Go ahead, here.

That's good.

Well... I mean... I can, so...

I don't want to scare 'emlike I did Gobo.

Help!

Something terrible... - What?-Wembley, you did it again!

What did I do?

Wembley, it worked. You scared us.

-Yeah.-But...

Go tell Boober our baloobiusesare still in great shape.

That's just the point... - Oh, and, Wembley...-What?

Don't ever do that again!

I have to...

But... Oh, no!

I tried to sleep, but I can't.

I need my pajamas.

It must have taken Wembley foreverto set this up.

I'll think of a good scare for him...

after my nap.

Oh, what am I gonna do?

If they're all mad at me now, wait till they hear that I blew Boober up.

If only I hadn't tried to get back at himfor scaring me.

He was only testing my baloobius.

I'm so sorry, Boober.

I'll clean this place up.

I know you wouldn't have wantedto leave a messy room.

The spiders. I'll start with the spiders.

Here they are, right next to...

Hey, where are his pajamas?

They must have blown up with him! They must have blown up with him!

I better get a broom.

Do you have any idea how manyof those Fraggles live in this rock?

-We're never gonna find him.-Well, we got to.

We promised Marjory we'd apologize.

You would have to go and tell herwhat we said about blowing up.

-I did not!-Did too!

-Did not.-Did too.

-Did not.-Did too.

Did not.

Hey!

Look at these fabulous masks.

Whoa. Very attractive.

And cute too.

I'm going to put mine on.

I wonder what Fragglelives in this great place.

-What place? I can't see a thing.-Yeah. Who turned out the lights?

Who said that?

Did you hear that?

No, no. I don't hear nothing.

Come on, we better keep lookingfor that little green Fraggle.

-Come on.-Yeah.

Which way is the door?-I think it's this way.

Which way is the door?-I think it's this way.

-Ouch!-Here it is.

-Stepping on my foot.-Come on, let's go.

Do you mind? Get out. Go on.

What happened?

The last thing I remember,

there were two horrible-looking beasts, and I got so... scared.

I got so scared I must have blown up!

Oh, no!

Gee. This must bethe Land of Having Blown Up.

It's amazing. It looks just like Boober's room.

Nice, refreshing little nap.

And now I'm readyto clean up this mess.

Wembley?

-Boober?-Wembley!

Boober! Isn't it incredible?

Well, to tell you the truth, Wembley,

the snakes and the spidersdidn't really scare me.

I hardly feel as if I've blown up. Do you?

What? What?

You... You don't know?

Know what?

Boober, I think you better sit down.

I've got somethingkind of disturbing to tell you.

Boober...

you and I and your pajamas...

-have blown up.-What?

Boober, it's all my fault.

Don't try to grasp it all at once. Take your time now.

What was the last thing you remember? Was it the spiders?

-No...-It must have been the snakes!

Boober, I'm so sorry. I was trying to get back at you.

The Trash Heap saidl would take the consequences,

but I never thought it would come to this.

-To what?-Boober...

Boober, you and I have blown up. Kaboom!

There's nothing we can do about it.

And we're never gonnasee our friends again!

-Boober!-Wembley!

Wembley, Wembley. Don't worry. It'll be all right.

Come on, come on. Let go. Come on, come on. Let go.

Boober, sending these two jokers aroundto test our baloobiuses is going too far.

Yeah.

Mokey, Red, Gobo. Not you too!

-Hey, there he is.-Yeah.

You!

It's bad enough that I blew up Boober,

but did you have to go aroundblowing up the rest of us?

Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

-No one blew up.-Yeah.

Yeah? Then what are we doing here?

Answer that!

Wembley, what are you talking about?

Gobo, listen to reason.

We wouldn't bein the Land of Having Blown Up

if we hadn't blown up, now would we?

What would you say to that?

-What's wrong with him?-Who blew up?

Now, now, wait. Listen. Listen.

-Listen!-What? What? What?

We're sorry.

We was just kidding.

You can't blow up from being scared.

What?

Nah! Nah, nah, nah.

Particularly if you have a baloobius.-Yeah.

Particularly if you have a baloobius.-Yeah.

You... - You mean, I didn't...-Nope.

And... And we haven't...

Boober!

I'm so glad I didn't blow you up! I promise never to do it again.

I'm the one who's sorry, Wembley.

Baloobius testing is fine, but I just took it one step too far...

-You scared yourself!-Yeah.

I told you I'm an expert.

This is ridiculous, Sprocket. We've been here half the afternoon.

You know what?

I deserve this.

It's no good getting back at other people.

Come on, Sprocket. Let's forget the whole thing.

Sprocket.
