Down at Fraggle Rock.

It's a picture, Sprocket.

I think we might find itin here someplace.

No, that's not a picture. Keep looking, Sprocket.

It's my old friend Henry Sackbut and mewhen we were at school.

And I've kept it all these years.

Oh, no, no. It should be in a frame, Sprocket.

I want to be able to show it to him todaywhen I meet him at my class reunion.

Well, it's not all that important. I just thought he'd get a kick out of it.

I'd better be goingif I wanna catch my bus.

I don't want to miss my old chumafter all these years.

Yeah. Okay, you can play in there,

but make sure you clean upall this stuff after you're done.

Are you all right, Sprocket?

I'll get you out.

Sprocket, it's stuck! Sprocket, it's stuck!

Mokey, since you're going upto the Gorgs' garden,

-could you get me a really good radish?-Sure.

Thank you. The recipe for radish

roastdistinctly specifies a radish, you see.

Okay, okay.

Boober, why don't you come with me?

It's a beautiful day.

You can pick your own radish, enjoy the garden...

And be thumped by a Gorg? No, thank you.

Boober, come on.

-Come on, you're gonna love it.-Mokey!

Boober. Boober!

-Come on, you'll love it.-How can you do that?

Facing the jaws of a menacing Gorgevery time you want a snack?

The Gorgs are really no problem, Boober.

Well, I'm certainly pleasedyou feel that way.

-Well... Now, go get that radish.

Okay. But you don't knowwhat you're missing.

I'll be missing a visit to a Gorg's tummy.

Don't worry. I'll be giving youmoral support... from my pantry.

This garden is the most perfect placein the whole universe.

This garden is the most perfect placein the whole universe.

Except for that!

Hello, you lovely radishes.

And how are we today?

And how are you, darling?

Are you thirsty?

Well, have a little drinky, then.

There you go.

Doesn't that taste good? Yeah.

I better dry you off now.

Don't want you to catch a chill, now, do we?

No, sirree.

Is the sun a little too hot for you?

I got just the thing for you then.

There you go. All right, now, you take it easy.

And I'll be backafter I do my chores. Okay?

Well, Boober wanteda special radish and...

That is amazing!

Well, no need to look any farther.

How am I gonna get this home?

Maybe if I drag it.

Yeah!

Gotcha!

Thought you could escape my wily ways, eh?

Good thing my alarm works.

Please, please, let me go!

You thought you could steal my Geraldine, you... you wretched radish thief!

-But I got you!-Help!

Please don't eat me. Please, please.

But you were going to eat Geraldine, weren't you?

I've been taking care of her

ever since she was just a littleitsy-bitsy, tiny seed, you know.

Geraldine? You mean that giant radish?

Yes. This is Geraldine.

-Did the nasty little Fraggle scare you?-What?

She's very sensitive, you know.

Sensitive? But she's just a radish!

Quiet. She doesn't know that.

I sleep out here just soshe won't be alone at night.

You sleep out hereso your radish won't be alone at night?

-Yup.-Boy, do you have a problem.

What? A problem?

I got a problem?

-You sure do.-I hate problems. Well, what is it?

You hate having problems?

Well, you have a terrible problem.

-Terrible?-Yes, yes.

Not only that, it's... horrible. Horrible problem, too.

-Terrible and horrible?-Yes.

And it's also... deep-rooted.

Terrible, horrible, and deep-rooted?

-Yes.-What is it?

Put me down, and I'll tell you.

Okay.

Later.

Wait!

Oh, no!

Now I'll never know what my terrible, horrible, deep-rooted problem is.

Now I'll never know what my terrible, horrible, deep-rooted problem is.

Junior! Lunch time, my wonder son.

I fixed you your favorite, watermelon en croûte.

But, Ma, I have a horrible problem!

What?

I'm gonna grow roots!

I knew you've been playingin this garden too long.

There, there.

Is babykins sicky-wicky?

Well, no watermelon en croûtefor you then.

I'll make you some nice, hot garlic soup.

Wait till my friends hear this!

Then I tried to pull upthe radish. And then this alarm went off.

Then a bloodthirsty Gorgcame thundering towards me.

I had almost escaped when, wham, he caught me accidentally.

And I struggled valiantly, but there was nothing I could do.

I was trapped.

And then he introduced me to thisgigantically huge radish, and then...

And then he introduced me to thisgigantically huge radish, and then...

-Did you say radish?-Yes, I did.

And then I used my Fraggle intuition, and I tricked him into letting me go.

-Did you say huge radish?-What? What? What?

Yes, I did, yes.

And then his mother came out, you see. And he told her he was gonna grow roots.

Did you saya gigantically huge radish?

Boober, I'm trying to tellof my adventure with a Gorg.

Who cares about a silly radish?

We do!

-Come on. Let's go get it!-Yeah!

Yeah. And when you bring it back, I'll baste it and roast it en croûte.

Boober... you sure know how to ruin a good story.

Look at that.

Yeah. That's got to bethe biggest radish in the universe.

-Yeah! We'll eat for a week!-Yeah.

Fraggle invasion!

Which one of you Fragglestold me I had a problem?

What are you talking about?

She was going to tell meabout my deep roots.

We don't know about that. We don't know about that.

Okay. Beat it.

I gotta find that Fraggle.

A Gorg can take only so much garlic soup.

Oh, no! I was gonna cookthe feast of all time.

But with that Gorg out there, we can't get the radish.

My culinary career is cursed.

Boober, please don't get upset.

Why not? Why shouldn't I get upset?

You'll never taste my radish en croûte.

There's nothing here to eatexcept leftover Doozer Dust Pie.

-Yuck! I hate Doozer Dust Pie.-Well, yeah.

Don't... don't worry. I'll take care of it.

Mokey, where are you going?

I'm going to the garden.

I'll keep the Gorg busy. You get the radish.

-But, Mokey, what if he catches you?-Yeah.

Well, I've escaped before. I can escape again.

Got you!

And this time, you're not gonna get away from me.

This is gonna be much harderthan I thought.

This is gonna be much harderthan I thought.

Dear Nephew Gobo,

The other day, I discovereda long-lost outpost of the Gorgs.

As you know, where there's a Gorg's castle,

there are also radishes.

And hordes of Silly Creatureswere searching far and wide for them.

They should've known thatin order to find radishes,

all you need is a Fraggle.

Once I'd found them, I decided to putthe Silly Creatures out of their misery.

It's nice to know that radishes cantake care of themselves,

without the help of Gorgs.

"Love, your Uncle Travelling Matt."

Gee, I wish Gorgs didn't hangaround with radishes there in the garden.

Hey, I wonder if Mokey'sgot that Gorg out of there yet.

Well, there's only one way to find out.

You go, Red.

I have to keep stirring my sauce.

Okay.

Why did you run away before?

You were gonna tell me about my problem.

Well...

I just had to do some research.

I was gonna come right back.

Well, Mommy's garlic soupwill cure anything.

It won't cure your problem.

Your problem's in your head, not your stomach.

You mean I should put soup on my head?

Your problem's worse than I thought.

Well, what is it, then?

Put me down, and I'll tell you.

Oh, no! No, no, no!

You think I was born tomorrow?

-Okay, okay, okay.-Sheesh.

I don't know if you can take this, but your problem is...

you have an obsession with a radish.

-That reminds me.-What?

Time to water Geraldine.

Sorry, honeybunch. There you go, darling.

Yes. Is that better?

-She looks a little dusty.-Yeah.

-She's not very good at grooming herself.-No.

Here you go. Wipey-wipe. Is that better? Here you go. Wipey-wipe. Is that better?

Do you realizeyou're talking to a vegetable?

-Well, who else should I talk to?-I don't know.

-Don't you have any friends?-Not that I know of.

Are they like freckles?

You mean you don't even knowwhat a friend is?

Do you have any friends?

Well, sure I do. I've got lots of friends.

Everybody has friends.

I guess I'm not everybody.

Well, then. That's what you need.

You have to get away from the gardenand find a friend.

But how do I find a friend?

Well...

you must go on a quest, a quest for a friend.

Oh, goody, goody.

-My first quest!-Yes, yes.

You must search far and wide, and far away,

over hill and dale, through brook and bush,

till you fulfill this sacredand time-consuming quest.

Till you fulfill this sacredand time-consuming quest.

Okay. But I got to be homein time for supper.

She's brilliant!

So that's what happened.

-Isn't it amazing?-Yeah.

-You mean she really did it?-Wow.

-Yeah.-Anyone who can talk a Gorg

into leaving the garden for a whole dayhas gotta be the smartest Fraggle alive.

And you know what that means?

-What?-The radish roast is on!

-Yeah!-Come on, let's go to the garden!

Oh, boy! No more Doozer Dust Pie.

Okay. I'm ready to find a friend. Now just tell me what they look like.

Oh, you'll recognize a friendwhen you see one.

Okay, now. Where do I find them?

Well... everywhere, anywhere,

just so long as it's far away.

You couldn't narrow that downjust a little?

Look. Friends are... where you find them.

Now, hurry.

Now why didn't I think of that?

Okay. Now what'll I bring on my quest?

Don't worry about that. Just get going.

Oh, no, no. I better bringa bag of onion jelly beans,

Oh, no, no. I better bringa bag of onion jelly beans,

my copy of The Adventures of Sir Hubris.

And I better bring...

you!

You're the one that knows about friends. You're coming with me.

Good. The Gorg's gone.

-Now, let's go get that radish.-Right.

-Pass it up, Wembley.-Okay.

Careful.

-Okay. All right. I am, I am.-Here we go.

Gobo!

Mokey?

I wonder where Mokey is.

She probably went with him

to make sure he stays away long enoughfor us to get the radish.

-She sure can handle that Gorg.-Yeah.

With this radish, Mokey will go down in Fraggle history.

Yeah.

Okay, that's it. A little to the left.

Careful. Watch the top.

Who would've thought it would besuch a breeze, eh?

Who would've thought it would besuch a breeze, eh?

-That's easy for you to say, Gobo.-Hang in there, Wembley.

Anything's better than Doozer Dust Pie.

I admit it's not one of my better recipes.

You got to hand it to Mokey. Her plan worked.

Yeah. Imagine talking a Gorginto looking for a friend.

Yeah. Who'd want to be friendswith a Gorg?

Oh, friend!

Friend!

-Where are we?-I don't know.

We've come such a long, long way.

Hey, friend!

I don't see any friends. Maybe they aren't in season.

-Yeah, we better keep going though.-But we've been going forever.

Can't we go home, please?

No way.

Nope. There has to be a friend for meout here somewhere.

-You said so yourself.-I know. I know.

Hey! Hey, maybe this could be a friend.

What? A flowering lubdub bush?

Hey! Don't be so rude. Hey! Don't be so rude.

What's the matter with you? Didn't yourmother ever teach you no manners?

-I guess you can't be friends with a bush.-But that's all there are out here.

Just bushes and trees...

Please, can't we go home? Please, please, please.

Nope. Nope. This Gorg is not giving up, ever.

Oh, no.

If you'd just tell me what a friend is, maybe I'd know what I'm looking for.

Well, a friend is someone...

someone you miss when they're not there.

Like now.

Do you miss someone?

I miss Gobo, and Wembley, and Boober, and Red.

You mean... 'cause I took youso far away, you miss them?

Gee, I'm sorry. Do you want a jelly bean?

No, thank you.

I'm not hungry.

What? You guys want jelly beans?

Okay.

I guess they don't like onions.

-Okay. Let's go home.-Goody!

Well, here we are, back home. Safe, but friendless.

Thank you for bringing me back.

And I'm really sorryyou didn't find a friend.

That's okay.

I still have Geraldine.

Geraldine!

She... she left me!

And without even saying goodbye.

Oh, no! What have I done?

You raise them from a little seed, and before you know it, they leave.

What did I do to drive her away?

Now, now. You didn't drive her away.

You were on a quest, remember?

- You're right.-Yeah. - You're right.-Yeah.

I deserted her.

-Well...-It's all your fault!

We never found any friends.

I'll bet there's no such thing as friends.

Now, don't you be silly.

Why, you'll find a friend... someday.

-What was that you said?-What?

Friends are those you misswhen they're gone.

-Oh, yeah.-Well, I miss Geraldine.

He's right.

It is all my fault.

There's only one thing to do. I hope I'm not too late.

Don't worry, Sprocket.

I got my crowbar backfrom Ned Shimmelfinney.

If I hurry, I'll still be able to bein time to catch my bus to the reunion.

Drat! Drat!

Sprocket, they don't make trunkslike this anymore.

-All right. Bring the saw over.-Yeah.

-We're gonna make the first cut there.-Okay.

-No, a little higher. Higher. No, lower.-Higher.

-Boober!-Tilt the saw.

-Boober!-All right, just cut it.

Wait! Don't cut it!

Hey, there she is! The mastermindbehind the great radish caper!

She can have the honor of the first cut.

What do you think you're doing?

Well, first, I was gonna parboil it...

You were gonna parboilthe Gorg's best friend!

Come on, Mokey, it's just a radish.

A great radish, I admit.

Gobo, how would you like itif someone wanted to parboil Wembley?

-Why me?-We've got to return this radish.

No, you can't! This radish is a dream come true.

-Boober, there will be other radishes.-No, not like this one.

This is the radish of a lifetime. There'll never be another.

-And what am I gonna do with the stuffing?-Boober, pull yourself together.

Uh-oh. Back to the Doozer Dust Pie.

Dear Geraldine,

Hark and forsooth.

Since you are my only friend,

I am leaving the empireto search the universe for you

and complete my quest.

If you get back before I do, don't leave without me.

Love, Junior.

There.

These radishes always feel heavierwhen you're taking them back, eh?

Yeah.

Boober.

Mokey, please let me just juliennehalf of it.

No! No, Boober, no!

I just hope he sees Geraldine is backbefore he does anything rash.

-What's that?-What?

It's a note. The Gorg wrote it.

What's it say?

It says... it says he's goneto look for Geraldine.

As long as the Gorg is gone, there's no point in returning the radish.

-Yeah.-We might as well enjoy it while it's still ripe.

-Yeah.-Boober, no. No. You can't.

I'm gonna find him and let him knowGeraldine is back.

Promise me you won't hurt herwhile I'm gone.

Boober?

I promise.

Okay.

Geraldine.

Geraldine, I searched the whole universeand still can't find you.

Where did you go?

Where did you go when I needed you?

What if a friendls a friend for forever?

And what if a friend never roams?

Then a friend wouldn't leave you alone Then a friend wouldn't leave you alone

A friend would be true And be there when you're lonely

But what if your friendJust turns out to be phony?

Well, a friend wouldn't do that to you

Well, a friend would be thereWhen you're blue

What kind of friend disappearsWhen you're lonely?

And why can't I Find a friend of my own?

I want a friend of my own

Geraldine, where are you when I need you?

That's so sad.

-Hey, who said that?-I did.

-It's you!-Yeah.

What are you doing here?

I came to take you back to the garden. I came to take you back to the garden.

Well, I'm not going back.

I'm gonna keep on with my questtill I find my friend.

But you have a friend.

I do?

-Who?-Geraldine.

Who do you think I'm looking for?

Well, I...

She's gotta be somewhere herein the universe.

-She is! She is!-Oh, yeah? Where?

-She's in the garden.-What?

-Yes.-Why didn't you tell me that?

-Well, I've been trying to.-Geraldine, in the garden!

-Yeah.-Here I come, Geraldine!

Hey! Hey, what about me?

Geraldine, you're back!

-Yeah.-My quest is over.
