Down at Fraggle Rock.

[yelps]

Not a peep out of you, understand?

-[sniffing]-They're rented sailor pants,

another one of Ms. Ardath'sbrilliant marketing strategies.

[laughing]

A big yacht cameinto the local harbor today,

a group of retired sea captainson their annual cruise up the coast.

-[exclaims]-Ms. Ardath decided that if she told them

her assistant managerwas a retired sailor,

they might cometo the Captain's Inn for dinner.

-And it worked!-[exclaims]

Now, I've gotta host a party for them.

Ms. Ardath says she wants me to speak onthe joyous life of a roving sea captain.

And you know howthe ocean makes me feel, Sprockie.

-[growls]-That's right. It makes me seasick.

[howls]

Oh, I don't know what I'm going to sayin my welcoming speech.

I don't know anythingabout enjoying life on the ocean.

I don't know anythingabout enjoying life on the ocean.

-You know, Boober...-Yes?

-You know a lot about home remedies.-Well, I sure do, Wembley.

For example, I've got poultices herefrom a yin-yin plant.

-Wow.-Those are for minor abrasions.

-Mmm-hmm.-And this one up here is yarumba root.

-Oh!-That's for giggle fatigue.

-Mmm-hmm. What?-Come on over here. Look at this.

This is pollen ointmentfor your allergies.

Really?

You know how allergic you areto bonkleberries,

and it is bonkleberry seasonout there. [laughs]

You know what I think, Boober?

I really think you shouldcome along with us.

-Me?-Yeah.

Play follow-the-leader?

-Sure.-In the Gorgs' garden?

-Why not?-What a bizarre concept. [laughs]

Come on, Boober. I don't know.

I guess that sometimes I thinkyou don't have enough fun,

-and I worry about you. [clicks tongue]-Wembley...

I have my own kind of fun.

Safe, cozy fun.

-Hey! I've got a great idea!-[yells]

You could bring along your home remediesand fix me up right on the spot.

You could bring along your home remediesand fix me up right on the spot.

Ah! Do you mean like... Sort of like... like a roving medic?

Exactly. It's a great idea! I'll tell Gobo.

-He'll be so excited that you're coming.-[stutters] Wembley, wait!

[laughing] That's absurd.

I'm not a roving medic.

Hmm.

Dr. Boober Fraggle.

Hmm.

Even if I didn't contribute to the fun, at least I'd have a job to do.

Who knows? I might even have some fun by accident.

[Wembley] Gobo! Hey, Gobo!

Gobo, Boober wants to comeand play follow-the-leader with us.

-Oh. Huh. Sorry, fella.-Huh?

I just scouted that routeacross the Gorgs' garden.

-Yeah?-And no way.

One of them's just sitting out therewaiting for us.

-But, Gobo, you can't just... Uh-huh.-Wembley!

That big goofy Gorg has his trapsset up all over the place.

You don't understand, Gobo.

I finally convinced Booberthat he should come along with us.

He'll be really disappointed.

[Gobo] Well, we'll play follow-the-leadersome other time, when that big goof...

[Gobo] Well, we'll play follow-the-leadersome other time, when that big goof...

-[gasps]-isn't hanging around bothering us.

-Oh!-He spoils all the fun.

-[Wembley] Yeah.-Big goof.

[Wembley] But I promised Boober...

Well, you're gonna haveto un-promise, Wembley.

As long as he's around, we're not going.

Oh. It's all my fault. Oh, no.

Don't get me wrong, Wembley. I think it's great

that you convinced Booberto come along with us.

[sighs]

Just tell him we'll do it some other timewhen the Gorg isn't around.

Yeah. I guess you're right.

Oh.

[groaning]

-Stupid home remedies! Ugh.-[bag clanging]

Who cares about you?

Nobody but the big goof.

[sighs] Nobody wants to hang aroundwith me.

Why should they? All I do is just... Oh!

Wreck stuff and spoil everything.[struggling]

[scoffs]

[groans] I'm the most un-fun Fragglein the world.

[sighs] I'm a waste of skin. [sighs] I'm a waste of skin.

[groaning]

[exhales]

I'm so tense and confused, I'll probably never get to sleep.

[exhales]

[snoring]

[struggling]

Even in the land of dreams, I'm all tied up in knots.

Boober, old pal, old buddy!

Oh, no. Sidebottom!

That's right.

The fun side that you always keepon the bottom. Sidebottom. [laughing]

-I'm here to release you from your woe.-Whoa! [screams]

Oh... Oh, my goodness. Oh, whoa!

-[groaning]-[laughing]

Sidebottom, I am really not in the mood.[sighs]

Why are you wearingthat ridiculous outfit?

Because I'm Dr. Fun.

-Here, let me test your reflexes.-What?

Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle!

- Oh, stop it! Stop it!-[laughing] - Oh, stop it! Stop it!-[laughing]

Sidebottom, this is no laughing matter.[panting]

My friends don't even want me around.

Maybe they would if you'd just loosen upand be fun once in a while. [laughs]

Oh, I'm no good at that.

Sure you are. Because I am and I'm part of you.

-You're the part I keep hidden.-[laughs]

Oh, I feel like I wanna stay hereand sleep forever.

-[Wembley] Boober!-Uh-huh?

-Boober, I gotta talk to you.-Oh, no. That's Wembley.

He's trying to wake me up. [shuddering]

Come on, Boober, wake up.

[snoring]

Oh, he's come to tell me

that Gobo canceled his gamebecause he didn't want the big goof along.

[laughing]

-Better wake up and face the music, kiddo.-He'll give me some lame excuse.

It'll be too embarrassing. I can't deal with it.

I can. Just let me out there. I'll show you how it's done. [laughing]

-But... but, what are you gonna say to him?-Who knows?

For once in your life, trust your fun side.

Okay. Just this once.

Good.

- Whoo! [laughing]-[screams] - Whoo! [laughing]-[screams]

Aah!

-[laughing] Wembley, old buddy, old pal!-[screams]

-Long time no see. [chuckles]-Oh!

Boober, what happened to you?

I had a wonderful dream. I'm a new Fraggle brimming with fun.

You even sound different.

-Yes, and I can read minds, too.-What?

Mmm. You are here to tell me

that we are not goingout to the bonkleberry fields

-to play follow-the-leader.-[grunts]

That's right! Because...

Save the lame excuse, Wems, old pal.

If Gobo isn't ready to play, then I'll be in charge.

You never take charge.

Hey. Isn't anybody allowedto change around here?

[chuckles] Now, you go and tell Gobo

that Boober the goofwants to play follow-the-leader.

-If you say so.-I know so.

Okay, okay, okay.

That was amazing!

You took that situationand you turned it right around.

See how easy it isif you just let your fun side out?

Yeah. Now what? Yeah. Now what?

Simple. You lead a gameof follow-the-leader.

-Oh, I couldn't do that.-Why not?

Well, because the other Fraggleswould follow me.

-So?-Well, I'd crumple under the pressure.

Oh, too bad.

For a minute, I thoughtyou really wanted to be more fun.

[sighs] I do, but I don't know how.

I could run that game with my eyes closed.

Hey, I just had an idea.

If I let you take over, you could show me how it's done.

I thought you'd never ask.

Then you could teach me how to have fun.

That's what I'm here for.

But only on a trial basis.

And I want you to keep in close touchwith me the whole way.

-I'm part of you. You're part of me.-[scoffs]

How much closer can we get?

Whoo-hoo! This is one decision we'll never regret.

-Follow-the-leader with Boober in charge?-That's right.

Sounds about as excitingas watching moss grow.

-Yeah. Maybe even more exciting, Red.-Mmm-hmm.

Boober's really changed.

Gobo, old buddy, old pal, old buddy, old pal, old... [laughing]

Gobo, old buddy, old pal, old buddy, old pal, old... [laughing]

-[laughing]-Boober, what happened?

Like it? It's the new me.

-Yeah, I told them about the game.-Mmm-hmm.

Yes, the game.

Great idea, Boober, except the Gorgshave traps set up out there.

-Yeah.-So?

Are we gonna let a few little trapsget in the way of our fun?

-Boober, be reasonable.-You know what I say?

-You wanna know what I say?-[Mokey] What?

I say let's have some fun with the Gorgs.

-Have fun with the Gorgs?-Fun with the Gorgs?

Why not? I'll get them to playfollow-the-leader with me.

-Did he fall down and sprain his brain?-[Gobo] Something sure happened.

Enough discussion!

Enough, enough, enough. Let's get this fun on the road!

It's follow-the-leader time!

-[humming]-[others muttering]

-Oh, this is ridiculous.-[Boober] Yes.

[shuddering]

This is ridiculous. Fraggles do not play with Gorgs.

-They get stomped by Gorgs.-I know. Isn't it a riot?

-But, but... Letting me out was a brilliant move.

-The fun is just beginning.-But...

-Follow-the-leader. Ha!-But... [groans] [groans]

Sidebottom, wait for me!

[Matt] Dear Nephew Gobo,

In Outer Space, I am continuallyencountering

strange and secret languages.

Just today I encountereda whistling creature.

[kettle whistling]

I tried to speak its language, but justas I started to get the hang of it...

[whistling]

- a clanging creature woke up...-[phone rings]

-Uh, one minute.-...and started shouting at me.

-Bring-bring to you, sir...-[ringing]

- or madame.-[ringing]

[kettle whistles]

Just a minute, please.

[ringing]

And then, suddenly, this annoying littleyellow thing starting chirping at me.

[cuckoo clock chiming]

Yes, cuckoo!

Cuckoo to you, sir, but do you mind? I'm trying to talk to the ding-ding.

-Ding-a-ling!-[cuckoo clock chiming]

Cuckoo! Will you all stop talking at once?[shudders]

I tell you, nephew, it is always wise

to try and observethe customs of your hosts.

They admire you greatly for it. Love... They admire you greatly for it. Love...

-I just don't know...-"...your Uncle Travelling Matt."

Wasn't that interesting?

I don't know. I still thinkwe should go after him.

-He'll come back on his own.-Yeah, but what if he doesn't?

-Yeah.-Are you still talking about Boober?

-Yeah.-Well...

there's something very strange going onand we're worried about him, aren't we?

-Yeah.-Yeah.

It's simple. When he comes back,

we'll tell him we didn't wannago out there and play today.

-But that'll hurt his feelings.-Hey, gang.

[all scream]

I was halfway to the Gorgs' garden, and I turned around and looked,

and you weren't following me.

[all] Uh... - We've been thinking, Boober.-Yeah.

Thinking? That doesn't soundlike much fun.

Uh, Boober, what exactlywere you planning to do with the Gorgs?

-Hmm?-Have some yucks.

But, Boober, the Gorgshave set traps all over the place.

-[Wembley] Yeah.-Details, details.

Boober, what we're trying to tell youis we're concerned about you.

-[Gobo] Yeah.-Don't be so pokey, Mokey.

You can learn to love the new me.

Um... Actually, I rather likethe old you.

Yeah, whatever happened to the Booberwho liked safe, cozy fun?

Yeah, whatever happened to the Booberwho liked safe, cozy fun?

He's right here. You wanna talk to him?

Well, you can't just go outinto the Gorgs' garden and...

-I know you think I'm a goof.-What?

Just give me a chance. Come on. It's follow-the-leader time!

-Onward to the Gorgs' garden!-[Gobo] Uh...

we better go keep an eye on him.

Wouldn't want him to getinto this thing over his head.

[babbling]

[snoring]

-[babbling]-[crows cawing]

-[Pa Gorg] Junior!-[sputtering] Oh, boy!

The king and Mommyreturn from picking bonkleberries.

-[laughing]-That's right, O heir to the universe.

And now it's time for you to cook them.

Oh. But what if a Fraggle comeswhen I'm not looking?

Your mother and I are goingfor our daily constitutional.

We want all these bonkleberries stewed upbefore you go to bed. Understand?

Yes, Daddy.

-My dear.-Oh.

[both laughing]

I guess it'll be okay. I mean, there are alarm bells on all my traps.

I guess it'll be okay. I mean, there are alarm bells on all my traps.

Yeah, yeah. They'll ring if I catcha Fraggle. [chuckles]

Oh. Gonna need my cooking spoon. [guffaws]

-[laughing]-Sidebottom, this is reckless and crazy.

-And terrific.-[Wembley] Boober!

-[shushing]-Boober, where are you?

It's Wembley. Quick.

[panting]

[gasps] Those are basketsof bonkleberries.

I can already feelmy allergies acting up. Bonk!

Are you gonna let a little allergyspoil everyone's fun.

Come on, Wembo. Let's go!

[gasps] He's headed straightfor the Gorg's traps.

-Oh!-He's gonna get thumped.

What are we gonna do?

[laughing maniacally]

Hey! [whistles]

Gorg, come out here. It's fun time.

Ha! Don't you want to come outand play with Dr. Fun?

Try this on for size.

[grunts]

-Oh, whoo! [laughing]-[cups jingling]

Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. I caught a Fraggle!

Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. I caught a Fraggle!

[laughing]

Boober, run for your life!

[all screaming]

-Run from this big heap of hair?-Heap of hair?

-You look like a Fraggle...-Mmm.

But you couldn't be.

-Nah.-Why not?

Well, because, if were a Fraggle, you'd be running away.

But I'm Dr. Fun. I'm here to play with you.

The name of the game is follow-the-leader. So, let's go.

Follow-the-leader? What's that?

Oh, this one's about as smartas a sackful of hammers.

[clicks tongue] Look, it's a simple game.

I lead, you followand do everything I say.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, I'm a Gorg.

-I don't take no orders from no Fraggles.-Well, then don't watch this.

I will if I want to.

[humming hypnotic tune]

Dr. Fun says you are getting sleepy.

Your eyes are getting heavy.

You are getting sleepier and sleepier.

And sleepier... and sleepier.

You are hypnotized.

I am hypnotized.

And you will obey my every command.

Yes, Dr. Fun.

Any requests from the cheap seats?[laughs]

Uh, are you sure he's hypnotized?

Of course he's hypnotized.[chuckles] Watch this.

Stand up! You are the biggest Fragglein the world.

-[Mokey] Oh, look at that.-I am the biggest Fraggle in the world.

[laughing]

[all gasp]

And the Gorgs are your natural enemies.

The Gorgs are my natural enemies.

And right now, you are going to dancefor your Fraggle friends.

Yes, Dr. Fun.

-What are you talking about?-[Junior] Yeah!

I just feel things are getting out of handand I wanna go back to the rock.

Quit worrying and listento your friends laughing, Boober.

at their party in 15 minutes.

I better practice my speech again. Come on. You be the audience.

[Sprocket whimpers]

Good evening, fellow sailors, and welcome to the Captain's Inn.

It's a special breedthat takes to the sea in ships,

men of steely-eyed bravery and stamina,

men who are unafraid to standon a pitching deck in a raging storm

-and... Oh.-[bowl clanging]

Thank heavens I don't have to standon those pitching decks.

I'm so allergic to bonkleberries that

eventhe... [sniffs] smell of them makes me...

bonk!

-[gasps]-Bonk!

Oh, no! Wembley's started to bonk.

Dr. Fun says bonk along with Wembley.

That hypnotized Gorg is out of control.-[Mokey] Wembley!

We Fraggles have taken overthe Gorgs' empire.

Yes. We have taken over

-the Gorgs' empire.-[Wembley] Bonk! Bonk!

[whooping]

Sidebottom. Sidebottom! Listen to me.

Wembley's having a bonkleberry attack. This has gone too far.

-There is no such thing as too far...-[shushing]

if you're having fun. I mean, a Gorg acting like a Fraggle!

-[laughs]-You don't understand.

This is dangerous. Wembley can lose consciousness.

Well, then, come on. We'll get rid of the stupid berries.

Hey, Fraggle, get over here!

Yes, master.

Dr. Fun says add more bonkleberries.

Yes, master.

Yes, master.

Oh, oh, please, Boober. Please, couldn't we go now?

The bonkleberry fumesare making me... Bonk!

-[Junior groaning]-Bonk!

Quick! We got to get him out of here.

-[laughing]-What's going on?

-Nothing to worry about, little Fraggle.-Who said that? Wait.

You! You... you tricked me!

I'm not a Fraggle. I'm a Gorg!

Well, nobody's perfect.

[groaning] Whoa!

[laughs]

[grunts] Why, you Fraggle! You won't get away from me.

And when I catch you, I'm going to put you in that stew pot.

-Oh. Oh, dear.-[laughing]

-Oh, my gosh.-[Junior yelling]

We'll never make it over to the holecarrying Wembley.

And the Gorg is gonnathrow us in the stew.

No, Boober, you're the only one that knowshow to cure Wembley's allergies.

-Do something.-Uh... what?

Well, I don't know. You had a bag of home remedies.

Where is it?

Home remedies? What do I know about home remedies?

Cut the jokes, Boober. We haven't got much time now.

-Now where's that bag you were carrying?-Well, uh...

I must have left it out there.-Well, go and get it!

I must have left it out there.-Well, go and get it!

-Sorry, Wembley.-Wembley. Oh, dear. Are you okay?

Boober, Boober, quick, help me!

Now look what you've done.

-[Junior shouting]-I didn't know...

All you know aboutis having so-called fun.

What are you waiting for? Grab my medicine bag.

What will I do with it?

Oh, you're really out to lunch. Don't you know how to do anything?

But I'm your fun side. I specialize in yucks.

You specialize in getting me into trouble.

Right now, I'm gonna run my own show. [panting]

That might not be a bad ideaunder the circumstances.

-Brother.-I guess it is better if we work together.

Well, Sidebottom, there is such a thingas a happy medium.

I'm sorry for being a big goof.

-Well, come on. Get in.-All right.

[sighs] Oh!

You better hope I never find you, you Fraggles.

'Cause when I do, you'll be swimming in stew.

Stand by. I've got the ointment right here.

Boober, thank heavens you're back.

That's right. Plain old Boober is back.

Well, hurry, Boober. That big goof is getting closer.

Well, hurry, Boober. That big goof is getting closer.

-Oh.-Big goof? Do you mean...

-Oh, Wembley's coming around.-Uh... where am I?

There you are! [laughing]

-You mean he's the big goof?-Run for it!

-Whoa!-He's the big goof!

[guffaws]

[sighs]

[Doc whistling]

[barks]

No, Sprocket, I didn't haveto go out on the boat.

You know what I did instead?

I made up my mind to tellthe honest truth,

which is that I get seasick.

And the captains complimented meon my honesty.

Well, I mean, Sprocket, why pretendto be something that you're not?

Be who you are. That's the name of the game, eh, Sprockie?

-[barks]-[laughs]

Still, I must admit, I do enjoy wearing this silly little hat.
