Oh, you're gonna love this one, Sprockie.

[can opener whirring]

Here we go.

[sniffing]

[grumbling]

You're refusing to eatChoice Chuck 'N' Chunks of Cheese?

But it's your favorite. I don't believe it.

[murmuring]

-You want me to read this magazine?-[barks]

What page?

[barks four times]

All right, page four.

"Doesn't your dog deserve the very best? We think so.

That's why we've createdRover's Royal Repast,

-a dog food fit for a canine king."-[mouthing words]

[humming]

Well, you're a canine king to me, Sprockie.

So, Rover's Royal Repast it will be.

[whooping]

[Wembley humming]

Oh, sorry.

[humming continues] [humming continues]

-[Philo] It's this way.-[Gunge] No, it's not. It's this way.

[Philo] No, it's this way.

-Oh.-[Gunge] No, this is the way.

I tell you, the cave where the mageggievines

grow is right around this corner.

-Oh.-Unless it's this corner.

Oh, why can't we just makea necklace for Marjory

out of tin cans and banana peels?

You know, something nice and trashy.

Because these vines are really gorgeous.

They got orange leaves and purple flowers.

Marjory will go nuts.

I'll go nuts if we don't find this cave.

I'll get directionsfrom this little green Fraggle.

He looks like he knows what's what.

-Wrong way again.-[Philo] Hey, little Fraggle.

[gasps] How did you do that?

-Uh, do you know the way...-Oh!

To the cave where the mageggie vines grow?

-Me?-Yeah.

See any other Fraggles around here?

Well, no, but there would beif I were in the right place.

What about the mageggie vines?

You know, with the orange flowersand purple leaves.

Wait. Don't they havepurple flowers and orange leaves?

Or is it fuchsia flowersand yellow leaves?

Just point us in the right directionso we can get this show on the road.

Okay, okay. Um, you go, um... You turn...

I know this. Uh, don't worry. I know this. Uh, don't worry.

Uh, it's that way. No, no. Uh...

It's that way. Definitely that way.

-We got a real winner here.-It is. I've been there.

-Wembley. Mokey and I have been waiting.-Well, it could be...

You're supposed to play a game ofthree-way boulder ball with us. Come on.

Is it... It could be this way. No, I think it's...

Red! Oh, Red.

Wembley, say goodbye.

What... Goodbye.

-Come on.-Hey, hey.

-Okay, okay.-Hey, what about the mageggie vines?

Oh, that was a real big help.

-[groans]-Sheesh!

-Well, let's go both ways.-No, you go both ways.

No, look, one of us will finda nice, big mageggie vine,

and then we'll meet back at the garden.

-I'll go this way.-Guys, I was just thinking...

No, no. I will go that way.

Okay.

[groaning]

Guys, I was just thinking about it, and...

-Wembley!-Okay, Red. All right, all right!

[Wrench]Hey, Cotterpin, isn't this exciting?

Yeah, Wrench, about as excitingas eating yesterday's Doozer pellets.

That will be enough, Cotterpin Doozer.-Oh, I'm sorry.

That will be enough, Cotterpin Doozer.-Oh, I'm sorry.

[clears throat]

You youngsters are herefor a very important reason.

[Wrench] Reason.

The time has come for you to learn abouta unique chapter in Doozer history.

[Wrench] History.

A time when the Doozers had a king.

-[all gasping]-King?

-A king?-You're kidding!

Now, what was interesting about this time

was that the Doozers did not spendall their time building.

Oh, oh!

Hey, maybe this is gonna beinteresting after all, huh?

You see, having a king meant there weremany festivals to be celebrated.

"brated."

And the festivals requireendless singing and dancing.

-[Doozers groaning]-It was not a happy time.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

Uh, the Fraggles sing and danceall the time,

and they seem really happy, if you ask me.

-Hmm.-That's why I'm not asking you, Cotterpin.

Uh... Sorry, again. Sorry, again.

Now we Doozers have a better way of life.

-[Doozers agreeing]-A life devoted to building,

but it is important to learn aboutthis frivolous chapter in our history.

-[Wrench] History.-Well, uh,

why'd we have to comeall the way down here to do that, huh?

Ah, so you could look upon the faceof that king.

[clamoring]

[all gasping]

Wow!

I just got the strangest feeling.

As if my life would never be the sameonce I turned this corner.

Boy, that's dumb.

[gasps]

[Gunge screaming]

O, Your Majesty.

Huh?

O, Great King of the Doozers, O, Great King of the Doozers,

now that you have returned,

we can once again worship youas you deserve.

Deserve.

-Hail to the king.-What are you talking about?

-Come on, everybody. Hail to the king.-Hail to the what?

-Hail to the king.-[whimpers]

Hail to the king.

Hail to the king.

Oh, boy. Wait till Philo hears about this.

[Philo] Yeah, yeah.

[Gunge]And all of them were groveling and saying,

"Hail to the king. Hail to the king."

-Stuff like that.-Uh-huh. Oh, yeah.

They said that when I move in with them, they're gonna give me my very own crown.

Can you believe that? My very own crown!

All right! I get the picture. And I thinkyou're making the whole thing up.

-Am not.-Are too.

-Am not.-Are too.

-Am not.-Are too.

Ah!

I get it. I get it.

You're jealous. [laughs]

-I ain't jealous of nobody.-Yes, you are.

You're jealous'cause the Doozers want me and not you.

-Me.-Ha!

What makes you so special then? Tell me about that, huh, Mr. Specy Weshy?

Come on, tell me.

Well, uh... - I got star quality.-Ha!

And that's the differencebetween me and you.

And that's the differencebetween me and you.

There's never been no difference before!

Well, uh... Well, there is now.

Ha! Do you mean to tell me that you'dmove away from the garden and me?

Well, uh... Yeah. Yeah, that's it. Yeah.

All right then. Then what about Marjory?

You don't seem to understand.

I'm talking king here.

My days of being rodent-in-waitingto Queen Garbagia are over.

I don't see how you can do it.

Because there are more important thingsin life than being a king.

Oh, yeah? Like what?

-Well, uh...-Uh-huh? Come on, tell me. What?

-Hmm? Hmm?-Well, uh... Like us being pals.

-Oh, gag me with a twig.-[gasps]

I got a chance for something big, see?

And I'm gonna take it.

Maybe hanging around hereis good enough for you,

but... but I want something better.

I wanna be a star. [murmurs]

I don't care if the Doozersare making Gunge the king.

That ain't no reason to... to desert your best friend.

I think Gunge is going through

what we in the advice businesscall an "identity crisis."

[Philo] What does that mean?

Well, it's when someone doesn't knowwhat he wants to be.

He just knows that whatever it is, it isn't what he is.

I don't thinkl'm gonna ask you to repeat that.

I don't thinkl'm gonna ask you to repeat that.

-Good boy.-Because it doesn't explain

how he could do something so low.

And I'm gonna tell himexactly how low I think he is.

[sighs] My boys are growing up.

Oh, brother.

Brother.

What did you used to doto amuse the king anyway?

-Uh...-It couldn't have been as boring as this.

Gee, I don't know, Kingy.

That was way before my time.

-Yeah, figures.-O Great and Glorious One.

-Yeah?-We Doozers have searched the rock

in order to bring you a tributeworthy of your majesticness.

Tribute, huh? Hey, hey, things are looking up.

-[laughs]-[engine whirring]

This artifact is held in great esteemby the Fraggles.

In fact, some believeit is the source of all their knowledge.

Hey, you're laying it on pretty thick, aren't ya?

Cotterpin, please.

Show some respect in front of the king.

Hey, uh, lift that up, will ya, buddy? I wanna get a closer look.

Might add a little zestto the occasion. [chuckles]

Might add a little zestto the occasion. [chuckles]

Um... "Dear Nephew Gobo..."

[Matt] The Silly Creaturesdon't have a nice Fraggle Pond to swim in.

In fact, their water is so rough, that when they swim,

they sit inside giant water shoesso they won't get wet.

[laughs]

Whoa!

It's a wonderful inventionthat just doesn't work.

[grunts, splutters]

"Love, your Uncle Travelling Matt."

Oh, that's a funny thing, all right.

A real thrill.

Sheesh!

-[sighs]-Oh, dear.

Uh, this isn't exactly the endless partythe Architect told us about, is it?

-[snoring]-I guess when it comes to having a king,

we Doozers are a little rusty.

Well, I think we betterliven things up a little.

-Right.-[snorts]

-Right.-Uh... Oh, that rotten little Gunge.

King. I'll show him king.

[chomps]

-King.-Huh?

[cheering] [cheering]

[Cotterpin] Wow.

Terrific.

Yeah!

[cheering continues]

[grunts]

Whoa!

[clattering]

-You okay?-Yeah, I'm all right. Yeah.

Good. Hey, look.

-Whoa!-[crowd chattering]

[chattering continues]

[crowd] Whoa!

[cheering]

Yay!

Oh, that was terrific, wasn't it?

Next.

[sighs]

[gasps]

Well, Your Gloriousity,

what do you think about beingKing of the Doozers now?

-What do I think?-Yeah.

-What do I think?-Uh-huh.

-I think it's not what I want at all.-Oh.

What I really want is...

What I really want is... [clearing throat]

-is Philo!-Mm-hmm.

-Am I glad to see you.-Oh, yeah.

Now we're really gonna havesome fun around here.

-[Philo shouts]-[screams] Hey!

What did you do that for?

'Cause you deserve it, you creep.

For being so mean to me.

What do you mean, "mean"? I didn't do anything to you.

Oh, you're still jealousbecause I'm a king and you're not.

-I am not.-Am too.

-Am not.-Am too.

I hate to interrupt. But who is this fellow?

He looks an awful lotlike your royal self.

-What, this fawning little ferret?-[gasps] What?

He don't look like me. Don't you knowa real king when you see one?

-Well, uh... [Philo] A real king?

What makes you think you look like a king, you whining little weasel?

-You want proof?-Yeah.

-I'll give you proof.-Yeah.

Take him to the cave to see my portrait. That'll put him in his proper place.

Take him to the cave to see my portrait. That'll put him in his proper place.

And if you're lucky, I might let youbow to me when you come back.

Bow to you? Why, that'll be the day.

-Oh, yeah?-Yeah.

-Yeah? Yeah?-Yeah! Yeah!

If you'll just follow me...

So, as you can see, this is a very accurate portrait of our,

uh, great and glorious king,

although I must sayit bears a striking resemblance to you.

Yeah.

I see what you mean.

Hmm.

-Oh, look up there. Look at that.-Huh?

Ain't, uh...

Ain't that a, uh, hairy-chested batworm up there?

Yeah. I thought they onlycame out at night.

[Architect] Hmm.

No, I don't see anything.

[stammers] Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

This ain't no picture of Gunge.

Uh, it ain't?

Uh, I mean... [clears throat]

It isn't?

No way. No way.

Lookee here. Take a close look at these teeth.

Well, all right. But I don't see what that...

Well, all right. But I don't see what that...

Count 'em.

Uh, one, two.

My points exactly.

Now take a close look in here.

Hmm?

Uh... Uh... [coughing]

Yes, I see what you mean.

Mm.

See? Two teeth.

Two.

[Architect] Just like the cave drawing.

Now, you.

-Eh?-Ha!

What did I tell you?

Only one tooth.

-So long, sucker! [chuckles]-[Doozers chattering]

-Yeah, but...-[Doozer] He's the real king.

[laughs] Oh, thank you very much.

Hail to the king.

[all chanting] Hail to the king.

Thank you for coming. You're too kind.

Oh, Gunge?

Don't forget to leave the crown.

Hmm?

Boy, I sure was wrongabout how great it would be to be king.

It wasn't fun at all.

Didn't you enjoybeing the center of attention?

Didn't you enjoybeing the center of attention?

Nah. It wasn't real.

I mean, the Doozers loved me'cause I was the king,

not 'cause I was me.

That's a very wise observation.

The only one who ever loved mefor me was Philo.

Now he's gone.

Oh.

I can't believe how much I miss him.

I feel like half a rat. [sighs]

You know, that's exactly how Philo feltwhen you were gone.

It is? You mean he missed me this much?

He certainly did.

Oh, then I gotta go find himand tell him how I feel.

If I'm lucky, he just might forgive me.

Hmm.

He just might, Gungie.

-[Doozers cheering]-[groaning]

[Cotterpin] Wow, that's terrific!

-[laughs]-[Philo] Whoopee.

[Cotterpin]Oh, boy. This is great. I love this!

[laughs]

-[Philo sighs]-It's great, huh?

Uh... Uh, O Glorious One II,

what do you think of the show?

What show?

Sheesh! Sheesh!

Kings. [scoffs]

Why did I ever try to get even with Gunge?

I ain't never been so miserablein my whole life.

[sobbing]

-[ballad playing]-[whistles]

Huh?

What?

Ah.

Oh!

Oh, thank you, boys.

This is the most beautiful jewelryl've ever had.

Well, what are friends for?

Yeah. My sentiments exactly.

Oh, and it's so good to have you bothback together where you belong.

-Yeah.-But tell me,

how did you convince the Doozersthat neither of you was their king?

Well, I had this great idea.

Uh, excuse me, but that was my idea.

-Was not.-It was too.

-Was not.-Was too!

[arguing]

[Marjory laughing]
