Down at Fraggle Rock.

You know, Sprocket, when Cousin Ethel said,

"Doc, why don't you inventsomething useful?" [scoffs]

"Like a cupboard that doublesas a dishwasher." Well, I just laughed.

But, now, look. I've done it.

[Sprocket gasps]

Well, I've almost done it. The wiring's a bit tricky.

You see...

Well, I guess you don't see. Could be because the lights are out.

Sprocket, what's wrong? You haven't even touched your supper.

-[telephone rings]-[Sprocket exclaims]

[Sprocket exclaims]

Hello.

Oh, hello, Betty.

-It's Ms. Ardath.-Ooh.

Well, Betty, what can I do for youon this fine day?

Sprocket?

-[barks]-You want to speak to Sprocket?

Oh, Marigold wants to speak to Sprocket.

I see. Sure, he's right here.

It's for you. It's Betty's Airedale, Marigold.

[barks]

[Marigold barking] [Marigold barking]

[barks]

[exclaiming]

Well, Sprocket, what did she...

want?

He never even touched his food.

That's not like Sprocket.

That's not like Sprocket at all.

[Red] Oh. Some shortcut this was, Mokey. Now where do we go?

Um, I don't know. I really don't know.

[mutters] Oh, now we're not just late, we are really late.

Well, don't worry. They won't start the rehearsal without us.

"Don't worry," she says.

All the Fraggles in the worldare coming to see our puppet show,

and we're lost foreverin some dumb tunnel.

Oh, I know, I know.

Ah! Hey, there's Tickling Tunnel. We're almost home.

-[distant moaning]-Good! Let's go!

-Hey!-[grunts] What?

What's that sound?

[moaning continues]

That moaning noise? That's just the wind.-Mmm.

That moaning noise? That's just the wind.-Mmm.

-Come on!-No, no.

It sounds like crying or something.

-What?-Here.

Huh? [grunts] Mokey, this is crying.

"Boo-hoo-hoo."

That is just the wind. Come on!

Uh, Red, you go ahead. I'll be along later.

Oh, I don't believe this!

What is that sound?

[moaning continues]

It's just the strangest thing.

-[moaning intensifies]-Well, it's getting louder. Uh... Oh.

[grunts] Oh!

-Oh.-[moaning continues]

Um, excuse me.

Uh... are you all right?

[stutters] What's wrong? [stutters] What's wrong?

-Wrong? Wrong?-Huh. Yeah...

I'm the most pathetic creaturein the world.

My life is miserable.

Oh... oh, dear. [stutters]

Don't you have any friends or anything?

-Oh, no, not one.-Oh!

And I'm magic, too.

-Really? No kidding.-Look!

-Where? What?-[warbling]

[Mokey gasps]

Oh, my! Oh!

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

-I... really... No one cares.

-Oh!-Now, that's not true. I care.

Hey, I have an idea.

We're doing a puppet showback at the Great Hall.

Why don't you comeand you can have a good...

No, no, no. I couldn't.

-Well, why not?-[cries]

-Everyone will hate me.-What?

Everyone always hates me. [crying]

Now, now. Oh, oh, don't cry. Oh, please don't cry.

-Please! I can't stand it.-If only I had a friend.

Oh, well. Hey, I'll be your friend.

Does that mean you'll take care of me? Does that mean you'll take care of me?

Well, of course I'll take care of you. Of course.

But, um, right now I'm a little late.

-So, I'll see you later, okay?-No, no. You just got here.

Well, uh, I'll tell you what. You need me, you just call

and I'll come right back, okay?

-Oh, what's your name?-[stutters] Begoony.

Hi, Begoony. I'm Mokey. Bye.

But... but I... but I...

Oh! What if I never see her again?

She'll be just like all the others. I know it. Oh!

No. This one's not going to leave me.

Not if I can help it. [sniffles]

[Red] Oh! Methinks I am the fairestin the land.

-What do you-thinks?-[croaks, kisses]

Oh! You are a most loyal pet rock beetle.

All right, now. Listen to me, court jester,

I do not want you to do or say anythingthat might embarrass me. You got it?

[as puppet] "Got it." Oh, boy.

- Hey, Red. Red?-What? What? - Hey, Red. Red?-What? What?

What's my line? I can't remember my line.

-Well, I don't know.-So sorry I'm late.

Good, Mokey, you're here. Can you give Wembley his line?

-He can't remember it.-You can't, huh? Oh.

Uh... let's see. Your line is, "What are you going to do?"

-Yeah, that's it.-Thanks.

Can we get going?

The show starts after lunch, and we haven't been through it once!

You're right. I'm so sorry.

Of course, we can. Yes, right away. Right away.

Okay. Okay. Is everybody ready?

-Oh, yeah. Go, go, go.-[clears throat]

And now, Red and Mokey Fraggleproudly present,

That's okay. And now, How PrincessEthel Killed the Giant...

-Mokey.-[Mokey] Yeah.

Do I really have to playthe pet rock beetle?

I mean, can't I play a knightin shining armor?

[exclaims] Get down.

Oh, gee, I guess a knight would be alittle less limited in scope, wouldn't it?

- Yeah, yeah.-Uh... - Yeah, yeah.-Uh...

-[Gobo] I'm gonna play a knight... Can we start rehearsal now?

-Mokey?-[yells]

-What's going on around here?-[Mokey] Hi, Red!

-[Begoony] Who's this?-You took the words right out of my mouth.

[chuckles] Uh, Begoony, this is Red, my best friend.

-Red... But she can't be your best friend.

I must be your best friend.

I must, I must, I must! [crying]

Oh, Begoony, please don't cry. [stutters]

Oh, listen, you can be my best friend, too, okay?

Wait a minute. Can I talk to you for a minute, Mokey?

-Uh, sure. Why not?-Yeah.

Mokey, what about the puppet show?

A puppet show? You can't do a puppet show. You have to stay here with me!

-You have to! [crying]-Oh, I...

Mokey, it's almost showtime, and we don't have a beanstalk. Come on!

-Oh, all right. I'm coming.-Come on. Sorry. Come on.

Stay, Mokey, stay. Stay, or I might do something desperate.

[Mokey] Don't worry, Begoony. I'll be back, I promise.

[Red] Let's go. Come on. Move, come on.

Mokey's my friend. She said so herself.

Oh. There's got to be a wayto make her stay.

I know.

[warbling]

Huh?

-What...-[zap]

[exhales] What the... [Red] Mokey, come on. Hurry up.

[Matt] Dear Nephew Gobo,

The other day, I made the mosthorrific discovery.

The young Silly Creatures of this world

actually play with shrunkenSilly Creatures.

Can you believe that?

They made them sing, they made them dance.

And when they were through, they left them lying on the cave floor.

The shrunken Silly Creatureswere so tired from singing and dancing

that they could not move or speak.

Oh, poor little thing.

Being a kind and compassionate Fraggle,

I decided it was my dutyto take care of them.

-Mmm. Cootchie, cootchie, coo. Oh!-[door opens]

Unfortunately, the smallSilly Creatures returned.

[children giggling] [children giggling]

Naturally, I knewhow to handle the situation.

Believe me, Gobo, I gave those small Silly Creatures

a piece of my mind.

[shouts] Unhand... Stop it, you fools.

Aah! Aah! [laughs]

"Love, your Uncle Travelling Matt."

[as puppet] "Oh, that wasa real clunker, eh?" [laughs]

Stop that. Shush.

You've got to understand, he has nothing at all to do with me.

Really. I thought it wasa terrific postcard.

[Red] Okay, okay. We're back.

Now, where were we?

Where were we? At the beginning is where we were.

-Okay, okay.-The beginning. Uh...

Come on. Snap out of it, Mokey. We've gotta get going here.

Snap out of it, Mokey.

I'm just a little tired.

I don't know what...

Uh, has someone raised the stage? It seems a little higher.

[Red] Oh, no. It's fine. Okay.

It is? Oh, all right.

-Oh! Oh!-Yes.

The beanstalk. We don't have a beanstalk.

-Oh, right, the beanstalk.-[Boober] Beanstalk.

I'll go get one right away.

Yes. Oh, wait, no, no. Let's rehearse without it. It'll be okay.

Oh, okay. Yes, let's rehearsewithout it. Um...

Oh, okay. Yes, let's rehearsewithout it. Um...

-Uh, once again... [Begoony] Mokey!

Mokey.

It's Begoony.

I must go.

Mokey! But the show's about to start.

Oh, I know, but I promised.

Don't worry. I'll find a beanstalk while I'm gone.

-[Begoony] Mokey.-Oh, not again. [shouts]

[Begoony] Mokey.

Mokey.

Oh, what if she doesn't come?

Mokey. Mokey.

I'll never remember all of this.

Begoony, then beanstalk. Oh, I feel so... [zap]

Oh. Oh. Funny, I don't know...

Hmm. These rocks certainlyhave gotten farther apart.

I wonder what that means.

[Begoony] Oh!-Begoony, Begoony, here I come.

Yes. [panting]

-Oh, you're here. You're here.-Yes, I'm here.

- I'm so glad.-[exhales] I'm exhausted. - I'm so glad.-[exhales] I'm exhausted.

-I want to show you something.-Yeah, well, okay.

Fine. That's great, Begoony, but, um...

-Begoony...-Yes.

Have you noticed anythingdifferent about me?

-Uh, different? Different?-Hmm.

Why, you're always the sameselfless Mokey to me.

-Now I want to show you something.-That's nice.

Oh, really? What?

[grunts]

-[Begoony coughs]-I don't see, uh, anything.

-Look, look, look, look.-What? [gasps]

Oh! Oh, Begoony, that... that is just beautiful!

-That is fantastic!-Thank you.

Oh, look at... Uh, except that, um...

Except that, what? Ah, don't tell meyou don't like it.

-Oh, no, no. I love it. I love it.-Oh!

I just thought maybesome curtains would be nice.

-Curtains?-Hmm.

What a wonderful idea!

What's your favorite color?

Um... pink and yellow stripes.

Then I'll makepink and yellow striped curtains.

-Yes.-Oh, good, great.

Well, I'll be seeing you. Bye, gotta go.-No, don't go, please.

Well, I'll be seeing you. Bye, gotta go.-No, don't go, please.

But, Begoony, the puppet showis about to begin,

and, well, I haven't founda beanstalk yet.

-[chuckles] So, bye.-But, but, but... Oh!

Boy, I can't wait for the show to start. How about you?

I can't waitfor the show to start, either.

-How about you?-Oh, I can't wait, either.

How about you?

-[Fraggles clamoring]-[Red] Oh.

Mokey, where are you?

What are you going to do?

If Mokey doesn't show up, I don't know what I'm gonna do.

[Mokey] Red, I'm here.

[screams] Mokey!

-What happened to you?-What happened?

I don't know. I... I got small somehow.

Oh, my!

Hey, I've been waiting forever. How about you?

Oh, I've been waiting forever, too. How about you?

Excuse me. Sorry.

-Fraggles, Fraggles. Sorry.-[crowd] Shh.

We regret to announce that the puppet showwill have to be postponed...

"Due to a temporary lackof a, uh, beanstalk."

[crowd groaning] Oh, no. [crowd groaning] Oh, no.

Hey, I don't mind waiting. I don't mind waiting at all.

How about you?

Oh, Mokey, this is horrible.

-How did it happen?-Oh, I don't know. I really don't know.

-Maybe it was something you ate.-Yeah, maybe that could be it.

Uh, no. I haven't had timeto eat today, so it couldn't be...

What are we gonna do? What do you think it could be?

-[Begoony] Mokey.-Oh, no. It's Begoony.

Uh, excuse me. Excuse me.

-Whoa!-Mokey, where are you going?

-Wait a minute.-Where are you going?

We need you two!

Oh, oh, oh. Where do you think you're going?

Well, Begoony's calling. There's no one else to take care of him.

How can you think of Begoonyat a time like this?

-I...-Mokey, you are shrinking.

-Yes, I am.-What if it doesn't stop?

Uh, I don't know. I really don't know.

-Mokey.-Oh, it's Begoony.

Excuse me.

-[stutters]-[Gobo] Red, come back!

[vocalizing]

Oh, I can't waitfor Mokey to see the curtains. [laughs]

Oh, Mokey.

Mokey.

[all] We want a puppet show. We want a puppet show.

We want a puppet show.

What are you going to do? What are you going to do?

I'm going to find Mokey.

You keep the audience entertainedtill I get back.

-Oh!-Me? What am I gonna do?

What am I gonna do?

Oh, Mokey.

Mokey.

What is it, Begoony? What is it? What's wrong?

-Oh, Mokey, you're here.-Yes. Yes, I am.

You look absolutely perfect.

Oh. [chuckles] Thank you. Thank you very much.

I made the curtains. Why don't you go inside and look at them?

Oh, Begoony, don't be silly.

I couldn't possibly fitinto this little... [gasps]

house.

-[Red] Mokey!-Uh, Red.

[screams] Mokey!

Oh, please, Mokey, I need you to look inside. Please!

Mokey, you're so small.

Don't worry, Red. This will just take a second.

Oh, oh. Thank you, Mokey.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Oh, Begoony, it's beautiful.

It's... it's charming. It's... it's charming.

It's... it's...

for me! [whimpers]

-[clattering]-I've solved the major design problem,

but I think there's a small glitchin the plumbing.

[Marigold barks]

Oh, hello, Sprocket. Do you wantto give me a hand for a second?

[pants]

What do you mean you don't have time? How can a dog not have time?

Well, tell Marigold to come in

and sit down and have a nice pantwhile you help me with these suds.

Look, you don't have to keep answeringher every bark

-if you don't want to.-[whimpers]

[Marigold barks]

He must want to.

Begoony, let me out. Please let me out. Begoony!

But if I let you out, I may never see you again.

You bet your life! Get out of the way.[grunts]

Oh! Mokey, run!

-Run!-[Begoony] Mokey, no!

-[Red] Whoa, no! Stop it!-[Begoony groans]

[Red] Oh, no. Run!

What is happening? [gasps] This is awful. What is happening? [gasps] This is awful.

Oh, Mokey, come back. I didn't mean to hurt you.

[Red] Whoa! Oh, no!

-[Red grunts] Mokey.-Let go of me.

[Red] Aah! Whoa! I got your tail.

[all] We want a puppet show! We want a puppet show!

What are you going to do? What are you going to do?

"Now, listen, Boober. Let me tell youthere's a great, big world out there

just waiting for me."

Then go.

Hey, hey, hey, you guys. I can't find Mokey or Red anywhere.

What are you gonna do?

Wembley, will you stop saying that?

Now, where am I gonna go? Oh, no!

-[Begoony] No!-[Red] Stop!

She's my friend. She really does wannabe with me. I know it.

No, you don't know anything. Ah!

Oh, dear.

Oh, this is ridiculous.

I can't keep running away all the time.

Red! Begoony! Ah!

Ah, not a bad idea.

Hurry. Please hurry. Hurry. Please hurry.

Oh, oh. Whoa!

-[Begoony] Let go of my tail!-[both grunt]

[Red] No. It's Begoony.

Don't let him go.

[Begoony] Oh!

"Hey, you're not much inthe looks department, are you?" [laughs]

Stop it!

Now. Sorry about that.

Oh! Leave me alone.

I must find Mokey.

Yes, you do that.

"And don't come back."

Come back here. Whoa!

[Red] Mokey!

-Here I am!-Mokey!

I'm right here.

Boober, we've got to find Mokeybefore Begoony does.

Oh, come on, you guys.

I'm here.

-[Begoony] Mokey, Mokey.-[Boober] Look at this.

Mokey, where are you?

I'm right here.

Oh, Mokey, Mokey, Mokey.

[gasps] Mokey! Watch out!

Oh, I've got you!

Oh, no, you don't. Put me down.

What?

I said put me down. I said put me down.

You heard her. Put her down!

[all] Put her down! Put her down! Put her down!

Oh, my goodness.

Begoony, I don't wantto be your friend anymore.

Why, you don't care about me at all.

Oh, please don't say that.

"You tell him, Mokey." Ha!

-[Fraggles] Yeah!-It's true.

You expect meto give up everything for you?

For what? So I can leave my friends

and go live in some... some little house somewhere?

Oh, but you liked the curtains. Don't you want to come home with me?

-No. I do not.-Oh!

-You said no to me.-Oh, Begoony.

Being friends is not aboutsaying yes all the time.

If all I do is give and give and give,

then before you know it, there's nothing left for anyone to take.

Mokey, look. You're not little anymore.

You broke the spell. You hate me. [crying]

Oh, cut the tears, will you?

[sighs] Now, as long aswe're all here together for a change,

[sighs] Now, as long aswe're all here together for a change,

what do you say we forget about shrinking, forget about little houses,

and just do our puppet show?

[all] Yeah!

[Red] Oh, no, no. We still don't have a beanstalk.

[all] Aw.

Ah, well. We'll see about that. Begoony, you're magic.

Grow us a beanstalk.

Oh! But I'm not so good at growing things. I'm much better at shrinking them.

Oh, Begoony, we need a beanstalk,

and I can't do everything.

-Yeah, come on. Go for it.-[all] Come on! Come on!

-Okay, okay. I'll try.-All right, yeah.

Good, good, good.

-[grunts]-[Fraggle] He's trying. He's trying.

Whoa, look out!

Oh, see? Nothing happened.

-[Gobo] Hey, wait, look!-[all screaming]

[Gobo] It's a massive beanstalk.

Oh, well. What do you know?

[all cheering] [all cheering]

I put in the dishes, press a button, and...

I broke every dish I own.

[Sprocket barks]

Oh, Sprocket, you poor dog, you're absolutely worn out.

Well, you don't have to go, you know.

Just because Marigoldwants to play all day

doesn't mean you have to.

-You haven't even eaten your food.-[Marigold barks]

Oh, tell her to come back after supper.

If she's your best friend, she won'twant you to give in to her all the time.

[barks]

Well put, Sprocket.

Here, have this.

[Marigold barks]

Have these, too.
