Oh, don't worry, Mr. Wylie.

I'm... I'm only too happy to comply.I'll... I'll get on to it right away.

Goodbye.

Oh, oh, Mr. Wylie, you forgot your cap.

-[snickering]-Imagine that health inspector

implying we're potentiallyharboring vermin

potentially harmful to the neighborhood.

Just because we have a rat-sized holein our wall.

[barking]

Of course.

You're always barkingat that hole, Sprocket.

Maybe Mr. Wylie was right.

Maybe there is something undesirableliving behind there.

[growling]

That's right, Sprocket, and we promised to catch it.

-[barks]-Or them.

So we better keep our promise.

I think... I think we'll builda small version of the trap

we used last summerto catch that rabid ocelot for the zoo.

That ought to do it. That ought to do it.

Here, hold thisto the top of the hole, Sprocket.

I want to get a diagonal measurement.

Well, Wembley, if I'm right,

this will bea highly adventurous expedition.

Oh, boy. A highly adventurous expedition. I love it. I love it. [whooping]

Yeah, first we gotta stop and getsome provisions at the Gorgs' garden.

Oh, boy. Provisions.

Then will it be the beginningof our expeditious adventuration, huh?

-Will it? Huh?-[chuckles]

Wembley, I think you're even more excitedabout this than I am.

You bet.

An expedurous adventition.

-Oh, boy. I can't wait.-[chuckles]

Oh, hi, Red.

Hi, Mokey.

Hi, Boober.

-Hi.-Hi.

We're on an advantageous expectoration.

Oh, sorry.

Well, if you're goingto the Gorgs' garden, you can forget it.

Yeah. We can't get out.

The Gorgs are right by the hole,

-and they're not moving.-Uh-uh.

Oh, no.

Oh, yes. We've waited for ages.

Yes. Our picnic is ruined.

My radish dip will have to go uneaten.

Now it will spoil and lose its bouquet. Now it will spoil and lose its bouquet.

-Gobo.-[sniffles]

What about our advisory expectation?

Does this mean we can't go?

Not if I have anything to say about it.

Come on, Wembley.

Okay.

Not if he has anything to say about it.

Come on. Let's go. Come on.

[Gorgs laughing]

You can't catch me.

[laughter continues]

Sheesh!

[clattering]

Junior, stop making all that noise.

Can't you see it destroys the mood.

Now, Pa, he's only a boy.

Junior! Junior!

What?

Would you please make a little less noise?

[chuckles] You knowthat this is Kissing Rock,

where your father and I first...

Uh... Uh... Well, you'll understand when you're older.

[both giggling]

Oh, Ma.

[giggling continues]

[Pa Gorg] Oh, mushy, mushy.

[clattering]

Junior!

Oops. Sorry. [laughs]

[gasps] What's this?

"Boredom juice"?

"Want to get rid of garden pests?

Bore them stiff with boredom juice."

Hey, Pa, Ma.

Look. Look what I found.

Aw, Junior. Find it somewhere else.

It's called boredom juice.

And here's a little cardwith all the ingredients and the...

"antidote."

Hey, Ma. What's an antidote?

Um... An antidote is a cure, Junior.

As in, if you don't buzz off,

you're gonna need an antidotefor a thick ear.

[stammers] But... Now give me that.

[grunts]

Now, then, where was I?

Cootchie, cootchie coo.

Oh.

[both giggling]

[sighs]

Well, at least I can keep this antid... The anti...

The cure.

[chuckles] I'll put it in a safe place.

Like my shoe.

Fraggle!

[shouts]

-Oh, no.-[Pa Gorg] Oh, Junior.

Those disgusting Fraggleshave infested our Kissing Rock.

[wailing] It's too much to bear.

Now, don't worry, my little kumquat.

Before the sun sets on this day,

there will not be one Fraggle leftin our rock.

I'll spray them with this boredom juice.

What?

Yes. Verily, I'll put some of thatboredom juice in my spray can and...

[hissing]

The Fraggles will get bored stiff.

-Huh?-Painless, but effective.

But you can't do that.

He can't do that.

Do it.

I'll go get that spray can right now. I'll go get that spray can right now.

-No. I won't let you.-Huh?

-[exclaims]-Uh-oh.

-Fraggle!-[screams]

Fraggles, Fraggles, Fraggles! [shrieks]

-Oh.-Oh, dear.

It's worse out there than usual.

[stutters] Yeah. That boredom juice really sounds awful.

-[sighs]-Yeah. And those Gorgs sound serious.

-What are we gonna do?-Oh, come on. They can't bore us.

-Fraggles are never bored.-That's true.

-There's so much interesting stuff around.-Where? Where?

Yeah. Yeah, that's true, Gobo.

Why, we couldn't be boredeven if we tried.

-[laughs]-[groans]

-I don't know.-I don't know.

Oh, come on. Let's try.

-But how?-What do we do?

What we need is the challengeof something really boring.

-Yes.-Well, okay.

I know.

What about a postcard from Uncle Matt?

-Oh.-Yeah.

Hey, get out of there.

If this doesn't bore us, nothing will.

[clears throat]

"Dear Nephew Gobo..."

[Matt] The other day,

I was in a large cavesimply filled with beautiful treasures.

Oops. Oops.

I was observinga particularly interesting bauble,

when suddenly I was sprayedwith a foul-smelling liquid.

[shouts, sneezes]

From the smell, I knewthis stuff had to be lethal.

[coughing]

But the silly creatureseemed pleasant enough.

And hello to you, too.

Perhaps she was only tryingto make friends.

Ha! Top of the morning to you, sir.

Yes.

Funny how easy it isto think someone wants to hurt you

when they're only making friends.

They love me.

"Love, your Uncle Travelling Matt."

-[laughing]-Wow.

That was great.

I hate to admit it, but not even that bored me.

-No.-It was great.

Yeah, but we haven't been sprayedwith boredom juice yet.

[all groaning]

[gasps] Wait. Wait.

-What?-What?

I think we should just go out thereand talk to them.

-[gasping]-What?

I think that big brown hairy onekind of likes us.

[groaning]

-Mokey.-What? What?

-Gorgs do not like Fraggles.-No.

We've gotta get out there and stop them. We've gotta get out there and stop them.

-Hmm.-[stammers]

Gobo, could I have a word with you,

uh, over here, in... in private?

Um...

[softly] I'd really love to help you, but I think I hear my kettle boiling.

-Okay?-Okay, Boober.

Look, you go tell everyone you see

to stay as far away from this tunnelas possible.

That is my kind of job.

[laughs]

-What are you gonna do, Gobo?-Yeah.

I don't know. I'm gonna go out thereand see what's going on.

-Oh.-If I need you guys, I'll go, "Help."

-"Help." -Okay.

-Okay.-Wow.

He's really brave.

Yeah.

Or else really dumb.

Oh...

Okay, Junior,

this here spray canis filled with boredom juice.

Now, you give Kissing Rock a blastevery few minutes

until you're sureall the Fraggles are bored stiff.

But, Dad, I just can't do that.

Well, why not?

It's real easy.

Here, watch.

-See, Junior?-No.

Nothing to it.

[sniffing]

Hey. Mm... Mm, what's that smell?

-I don't know.-[breathes deeply]

It smells kind of...

[gagging]

[whistling]

Boring.

Easy as pie.

-But...-[Ma Gorg] Oh, Pa... [laughs]

Coming, my little hu-hu-hu-huckleberry.

[Ma Gorg] I'm hiding.

[Pa Gorg] I'll find you...

[all] Boring.

Oh, no.

[stutters]

Help.

If it worked for that rabid ocelot,

it ought to workfor that big black hairy rat

it ought to workfor that big black hairy rat

living behind this wall.

And if we catch it, Sprocket, we'll have to get rid of it.

-[whines]-Yeah, sure, because if we catch one,

that means there could be more.

Probably have to fumigate.

[gasps, whines]

Of course we would.

We can't harbor a health hazard, you know?

[whining]

Well, come on, Sprocket, let's go for a walk.

Nothing's gonna come outif we just stand there watching.

-[barking]-What?

You'd rather stay? Well, okay.

But don't scare that rat away.

And if we catch it, give a bark.

I'll be over at Ned's.

See you later, Sprockie.

[whimpers]

[grunts]

[panting]

Mokey? Red?

Uh, Wembley, come on.

Snap out of it.

[all] Boring.

[sighs] [sighs]

That Gorg's gonna get us allif we don't do something to stop him.

[gasps]

Wembley, time for our adventurous expedition.

Boring.

Red, tug-a-tails in the Great Hall!

Boring.

[groans]

Help!

Boring.

Oh, it's no use.

[sighs]

[groans] What am I gonna do?

Wait a minute. I've got an idea.

Must do my duty.

But I can't do my duty.

But Pa says I have to.

But I can't.

I just can't. [sobs]

I know. [chuckles]

I'll get rid of this stuff. Yeah.

Then they won't be able to getmy Fraggles. Yeah. [laughs]

Then they won't be able to getmy Fraggles. Yeah. [laughs]

There we go.

[laughs]

[gasps]

There he is.

[laughs]

That takes care of that.

[Gobo] And there's the cure.

Well, now all I've got to dois ask him for his shoe.

Hmm. Easy.

No... No problem.

Hey, Fraggle. [laughs]

-Ooh.-No, no. Come back.

You'll never get me, Gorg.

No, no, Fraggle. Come back. I need to talk to you.

It'll take more than boredom juiceto get rid of Fraggles.

[sniffing]

Hey, what's that smell?

[sniffing] Hmm.

[gagging]

[whistling]

Oh, no. Fraggle.

Boring.

Fraggle.

Oh, no, no, no.

[stammers]

Uh-oh. I'd better hold my nose.

But... but that's where I dumpedthe boredom juice.

-Boring.-[gasps]

Too late.

[weeping] [weeping]

The little Fraggle is bored stiff.

And all because of me.

Oh, what am I going to do?

Wait a minute. I know.

[chuckles] There's only one thing to do.

I'll un-bore him. [laughs]

What would Pa say?

Boring.

Oh. I cannot let this Fragglebe bored stiff.

What Pa doesn't know won't hurt me.

[chuckles]

Now for the cure.

Uh... Where did I put that cure?

Oh. [laughs]

In my shoe.

Now to cure that poor little Fraggle.

"Sing the following song..."

Ooh.

"while doing the following dance,

while wearing a bowl on your head."

That makes sense.

Bowl. I need a bowl.

Where...

Bowl. [laughs]

Sorry, radishes. I need that.

It says here...

but we did it.

-[cheering]-Yeah.

Tell me something.

Just for my own information.

-Why did you save us, anyway?-Yeah.

Well, because if I didn't save you, there wouldn't be any Fraggles around.

Oh!

See? I told you he liked us.

-Yeah.-Yeah.

And if there weren't any Fraggles around, who would I have to thump?

-Right.-Yeah.

Aw!

So, Sprocket, did we catch anything?

That rat was big enoughto spring the trap and get away.

Well...

I'll just make a few adjustments here.

Yes, sir.

[whines]

I'll set this very finely, Sprocket.

Oh...

There. That will get that miserable rat.

Now, Sprockie, I'm just on my way down to Elmer's shop.

We're almost out of milk. Do you wanna come along?

Okay, suit yourself. I'll see you in a little while.

Oh, I forgot my hat.

[whining]

Sprocket, did we get something?

Sprocket...

what are you doing?
