[Sprocket panting]

[whining]

[barking]

No, Sprocket, I do not want to play fling and fetch.

-[whining]-Oh, these gift catalogs are for nitwits.

[barking]

It's Ms. Ardath's 39th birthday tomorrow,

and I've gotta figure outwhat to give her.

Oh, no, it wouldn't doto buy just some gizmo from a catalog.

Not for Ms. Ardath,

because, you know, I really, really care about her.

I want my gift to express

-my... my genuinely warm feelings...-[mimicking violin]

Very funny, Sprocket.

No, wait a minute. You're right.

Music, poetry,

-painting.-[barking]

Don't you see?

Those are the thingswith which we express our feelings.

Those are the thingswith which we express our feelings.

-That's what I'll give Ms. Ardath.-[growls]

A work of art made with my own hands.

A statue for the front lawn.

And you, you can be my model.

-I mean, all you have to do is stay still.-[barking]

[Sprocket groans]

-[Wembley humming]-[Boober chuckling]

Another perfect dayin Fraggle Rock. [chuckles]

Ah. I can't think of anything to addto improve it. [chuckles]

[sighs] I wouldn't be so sureabout that, Wembley.

What do you mean?

I don't know, I just have this nagging feeling

that something importantis missing from my life.

Such as?

I haven't got a clue.

All I know is I'll probably spendmy whole life searching for it.

Wait a minute.

You're gonna spend your whole lifesearching for something,

and you don't even know what it is?

-No.-Wow, what a concept!

Oh, don't humor me, Wembley. I know you think it's weird.

Oh, no way. Nothing wrong with searchingfor something that's missing,

Oh, no way. Nothing wrong with searchingfor something that's missing,

even if we don't know what...

Wait a second. I know what's missing.

You do?

Yeah, the sound of falling waterfrom Roaring Ravine.

-Come on.-Uh...

[water trickling]

Hey, look, the waterfall's down to a trickle.

-Oh, must be this heat wave.-Yeah.

[gasps] Look.

-[gasps]-Wow! Smoothies. [chuckles]

-And rollies.-Yeah.

Wow. I've never seen so many beautifullittle

pebbles in all my life. [chuckles]

All that rushing watermust've hidden them.

Yeah, and made them incredibly smooth.

-Feel this.-Oh.

-[chuckles]-Ooh, that's a honey.

Yeah. Well, they're all honeys. Let's collect 'em and take 'em back.

Smoothies and rollies are the neatestthings you can give to a friend.

We're gonna have enough for everybody.

-Yahoo! [chuckles]-[chuckles]

[exclaiming]

[gasps]

Do you see what I see?

[both gasp]

A perfect blue rollie. A perfect blue rollie.

This is the rarest pebble in the universe.

[gasps] Rare? It's legendary.

Yeah. [gasps]

You know, they say that you could searchyour whole life

-for the perfect blue rollie...-Whoa.

- and never even find one?-[chuckles]

-And I have one right here. [chuckles]-[sighs]

Uh, what are you gonna do with it?

I don't know. The... The legend says

the perfect blue rollieis the greatest gift you can give.

-Imagine.-Huh.

-Boober?-Yes.

-Boober?-What?

-You know what?-What?

-I want you to have this. [laughs]-Ah!

-[stuttering] Oh, but, Wembley...-Yeah.

- this is the rarest pebble there is.-Yeah.

-I don't think you can just... Yes, yes, yes.

-[stammering]-It's the greatest gift,

and you're one of my greatest pals, Boober.

-There you go.-Ah!

Oh.

I don't know what to say.

Well... [chuckling]

-Uh...-Oh.

You don't have to say anything.

Uh... Giving that to youmakes me feel really good.

When you give it to somebody else,

you'll see what I mean. [chuckles]

Now, uh...

Come on, let's get theseback to the Great Hall

and hand them out to our buddies.

Uh, well, Wembley, I thinkl'll just sit here for a while, okay?

Okay.

[sighs]

Oh.

The rarest pebble in the universe.

And this one's for youto match your shirt.

-Incredible. Thank you.-[chuckles]

Oh, these must be the most beautifulsmoothies

and rollies in the whole world.

They are.

[all cheering]

[clears throat]

-Boober!-Oh, hi, Wemb.

Boober, Boober. [chuckles]

Hey, everybody. Wait till you seewhat Boober's got to give away.

-[chuckles]-Oh, what is it, huh?

Uh, not quite surewhat you're talking about, Wembley.

-[chuckles nervously]-Boober?

Show everybody the perfect blue rollie.[laughs]

-Perfect blue rollie?-Yes, yes!

You've got a perfect blue rollie?

I've never seen one in my whole life.

-Nobody has.-Well... [stammers]

It's, uh...

-It's not here. [chuckles]-Oh.

Well, where is it?

Uh...

It's... It's in storage.

[chuckles] Storage.

Uh, what do you mean, "storage," Boober?

Well, I mean it's in a safe, dry place.

[chuckles nervously]

Uh, you see, Wembley,

it was such a wonderful gift, it was such a wonderful gift,

I didn't want anything to happen to it.

Boober, the perfect blue rollie, the legendary pebble.

Oh, can we see it?

-Yeah, show it to us.-Yeah, show it.

[stammering] Well, I... I can't... can't do that.

How come? [chuckles]

Well, uh, because...

Uh... [gulps] Uh...

It's in my, uh...

It's in... It's in my... my hidey-hole.

[all] Your what?

My hidey-hole.

-What's that?-[sighs]

Well... [gulps] Uh...

It's a secret place.

I've never taken anyone there.

Oh, well, now's the timeand hidey-hole's the place.

-Yeah.-We gotta see that blue rollie.

-Yeah, yeah.-Which way is it?

Uh, it's over that way.

-[all clamoring]-The perfect blue rollie?

No, wait a minute.

Nobody's ever seen onein the history of the Rock.

[Boober] I don't thinkthis is a good idea.

You don't understand.

My hidey-hole is a private place.

Nobody else has ever been here.

[Gobo] Oh, no wonder, everyone knows this is a dead-end tunnel.

[Gobo] Oh, no wonder, everyone knows this is a dead-end tunnel.

-[Red] Yeah.-Well, it used to be a dead-end tunnel.

-[Red] What?-[Gobo] What do you mean by that?

-[Red] Yeah.-Well... [grunts]

I... I dug a private cave.

-[Wembley] What!-[Red] Dug?

[Gobo] You dug a cave?

-Down here.-But, why, Boober?

We've got so many caves around here,

-we don't know what to do with them.-Yeah.

Well, I needed a... private one

for my stuff.

What stuff?

Well, you're here, I may as well show you.

But no wisecracks, okay, Wembley?

-Okay.-Okay.

[sighs]

[Boober grunts]

[all gasping]

-[Mokey] Oh, look!-[Wembley gasps]

-You dug this all by yourself?-Oh.

-Uh-huh.-When?

-[Wembley chuckles]-Oh, over the years.

[Red] Bizarre.

Yeah, and you didn't eventell us about it.

Well...

I... I didn't think you'd understandabout my stuff.

Well, what is all this "stuff"?

-Hmm.-[chuckles]

Uh, well, these... these here are, uh...

- odd socks.-[laughs] - odd socks.-[laughs]

And, uh, oh, that over there, that's a bucket of buttons.

-Oh.-I put them on sticks.

-Keeps them organized.-Yeah.

Oh, look. This... Now this, this here is a giant ball of string.

[laughs nervously] You see, uh, I guesseverybody saves string, don't they?

-Oh, look out. That...-Oh, oh, oh.

That, Wembley, believe it or not, is laundry lint.

-Laundry lint? [sneezes]-Laundry lint.

Yeah. You see, I just... I just collect itright out of your pockets

when I'm doing a wash,

and it all ends up right in... in this room here.

[laughs]

-Hmm.-Hmm.

I see.

[clicks tongue]

Okay, okay.

Uh, uh, end of tour.

-Uh...-Thanks a lot for dropping by.

Look, everybody.

-Oh, boy!-Ooh!

Oh, yeah.

[Wembley] There it is.

I never thought I'd seethe perfect blue rollie.

-Uh-uh.-Yeah, isn't it something?

It was just sitting there on the groundwhen I spotted it.

And... And gave it to me.[chuckles nervously]

-Yeah.-I was overwhelmed.

Isn't it a honey? Isn't it a honey?

[all] A honey.

Boober, we gotta take this backto the Great Hall.

-Yeah, everyone's gotta see it.-Not... Not...

today.

-Hmm?-Why not?

Because I just got it!

-So?-[chuckles]

-Boober, this is the perfect blue rollie.-Yeah.

-You gotta share it with your friends.-[all] Right.

Well, uh... uh...

You can drop by and... and see the little fella anytime you like.

I'll be right here in the old hidey-holetaking good care of him.

-But... Now, okay, run along, everybody.

-Oh, oh...-Boober.

Boober, don't you know there's a legendabout the perfect blue rollie?

Yes, Mokey, I know all about the legend.[chuckles]

The perfect blue rollie is...

-is the greatest gift you can give.-That's right.

And Wembley gave it to me. Right, Wembley?

-You've got it all wrong.-You're supposed to...

[Gobo] You're supposed to pass it on.

[Boober]I don't care about the legend, okay?

This is the rarest pebble in the universe, and it is mine!

-All mine!-[gasping]

Oh.

[churning]

It's plaster of Paris, Sprocket. It's plaster of Paris, Sprocket.

Artists use it to make body casts.

Oh, I'm gonna make Ms. Ardatha work of art she'll treasure forever.

A statue of you for her front lawn.

-[barks]-Oh, no, don't worry.

I mean, it'll wash out of your furwith a nice, soapy bath.

-[yelping]-Oh, Sprocket, come on.

It won't hurt.

Believe me, it's easy.

Look, Sprocket,

I'll play fling and fetch with youfor an hour if you'll help me.

[yelping]

-Oh.-[whining]

Sprocket, look, let me show you how easy it is.

First...

you sit in the cabinet,

posed in the sitting position like this.

Then you close the cabinet doors...

and secure themwith the latch on the outside.

Then you just pour the plaster of Paris.

Simple.

Sprocket?

Sprocket.

What are you doing, boy?

-Sprocket!-[doors rattling]

Stop this nonsense at once.

Open the latch and let me out of here.

Sprocket!

Sprocket, this is not funny.

Oh, Sprocket...

[spluttering] Sprocket...

Stop it.

[Sprocket groans]

There.

A perfect settingfor a perfect blue rollie.

[exhales]

At last, real happiness.

Gosh, if I just lookway down into those layers of color,

I can see a little teensy-weensyreflection of myself.

Hi in there, Boober.

How's it going, little guy? How's it going, little guy?

[laughs]

[screams] Oh, oh, you startled me.

Mm-hmm.

I was just giving my rolliea finish coat of wax.

-Ah.-See?

Well, uh, listen, Boober, the Great Hall's full of Fraggles

-who wanna look at this thing.-Full of them.

-And my Uncle Matt had a great idea.-Great idea.

Well, since finding a perfect blue rollie

-is such a one-in-a-million thing...-One-in-a-million.

He says we should turn itinto a big celebration.

Yes! You bring it to the Great Hall,

we'll have a big banquet, a big dance,

-and everybody will get a look at it.-Yeah.

Sorry, that is out of the question.

But... But why?

-Security problems.-Oh!

I can't take my rollieinto that kind of mob scene,

anything could happen.

Boober, it's just a pebble, for crying out loud!

-Yes.-Maybe to you.

Boober, aren't your friendsmore important than...

Wembley, this is the rarest pebblein the universe.

-Yeah.-Do you understand me?

This is more important than anything.

-Oh.-Yeah? Yeah?

Well, if you ask me, I thinkyou got things all twisted around, Boober.

Well, if you ask me, I thinkyou got things all twisted around, Boober.

-Twisted!-I have never been happier in my life!

-Hmm.-Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have got some buffing to do.

But, Boober, this thing... Never mind, Wembley.

I think Boober wants to be alonewith his pebble.

[scoffs]

-Pebble! [scoffs]-[exhales, hisses]

-[Fraggles clamoring]-It's bizarre.

But he's completely missing the point.

The perfect blue rollie is like laughter.

You can't just store it awayon some dusty, old shelf like that.

I'm reminded of an experience I had

with a perfect white rolliein Outer Space.

You saw rollies in Outer Space?

-Yes, indeed.-[gasps] Oh.

I remember the occasionas if it was yesterday.

Memory lane.

[Matt] I watched a silly creatureplay a very odd game

with a perfect white rollie.

The silly creatureused a strange-looking club

to hit the white pebble into a large pond.

It was astonishing.

[gasps]

His aim was absolutely perfect.

Well, almost perfect.

-[golfer groans]-Then I saw a way

to help the silly creatureput his rollies back into the water,

from whence they had come.

Oh.

In that way, others could find and enjoy them.

[laughs]

Hmm. There you go.

[laughs]

[screaming]

[grunting] Oh, please, please.

[screaming]

The silly creature was terribly grateful.

In return, he helped me findsome white rollies of my own.

Yes, yes, yes. Wasn't that wonderful?

[Mokey] Wonderful.

[chuckles] Ah.

I wish Boober could've heard that.

Oh, he can't hear anythingin that silly homemade cave of his.

He's gonna lose touchwith all his friends.

We can't let that happen. We've got to get him out of there.

- Yes.-Wait a minute. I've got an idea. - Yes.-Wait a minute. I've got an idea.

-[gasps]-Oh, Wembley!

Come here.

[Wembley] Are you surethis disguise is gonna work?

[Mokey] You're invisible.

[Wembley] But this cave cotton makes me...

Hold your nose, Wembley.

[Wembley sniffs]

Couldn't somebody else do this, please?

-Please?-Oh, I'm sorry, buddy,

but you're the only onesmall enough to pass for a ball of lint.

-Oh.-Yeah. And you look fabulous. [chuckles]

Yeah. Now, you know what you're doing.

Yeah, yeah, I get inside,

and then I start to minglewith Boober's lint.

Right. And then you sneak outwith the perfect blue rollie.

-Oh!-And you bring it to us,

and we'll be getting ready for the party.

Oh, do you really thinkthis plan is going to work?

-Sure.-Are you kidding?

When Boober sees how much fun it isto share the blue rollie,

why, he won't even want to keep itfor himself.

-Mm-mm.-Mm-mm.

-Uh-uh.-Wembley?

[whimpering]

[sniffing]

-Good luck.-[whimpers]

Shh!

Oh. Oh.

[Boober snoring]

[Wembley grunting]

[whispering] Oh, good.

[suppressing sneeze]

Oh.

-[sneezes]-[Boober screaming]

All right, who is it? Who is that?

Oh, oh, oh, it's your friend Wembley.

Aha, Wembley.

Mm-hmm.

And what might you be doing in here?

Oh, I'm disguised as a ball of lint.

-Yes, of course, a ball of lint.-Oh.

Marvelous, Wembley, really superb.

Boober, Boober, I can explain everything, Boober.

Uh-huh. Well, let me guess.

Uh, you were going to take backthe perfect blue rollie...

Well...

Yeah, just so you could seehow other Fraggles enjoyed it.

Yeah, just so you could seehow other Fraggles enjoyed it.

Mm-hmm. Well, Wembley, I have news for you.

-Uh?-I don't need friends

who creep into my hidey-holedressed as lint.

-[sneezes]-[screams]

[rock clattering]

Oh! Look what you've done now.

-Oh, my goodness.-Oh, no!

-Boober, I'm sorry.-Sorry? You're sorry?

You have just made melose my perfect blue rollie.

Oh, I think maybeit rolled down this crack in the wall.

-Wembley, get out of the way.-Oh.

[both grunting]

Oh, I can't reach it.

This is perfect, Wembley. Just fabulous.

-Oh, Boober, I'm sorry.-Oh.

We're your friends, we were just doing this for your own good.

Wembley, move.

-Ow! Ooh.-Sorry.

[Boober grunting]

[Wembley] What are you doing?

[straining] I'm levering it.

Hey, I think maybe there are someloose rocks up there.

Haven't you caused enough troublefor one day?

Now, just go, Wembley.

But I'm only trying to be your friend.

Friends like you, I don't need. Now, just go, Wembley.

-Okay.-[straining continues]

[sighs, grunts]

[sighs]

-[rumbling sounds]-What?

Oh.

Whoa! [screams]

Oh, no.

Cave-in! [screaming]

-[rocks rumbling]-[Boober straining]

Wembley?

Wembley?

[groaning]

[panting] Oh.

Here I am, entombed in my hidey-hole

-with all my stuff.-[rocks clattering]

Ooh!

Oh, perfect.

[sighs]

[grunting] Come on, there isn't much time. [grunting] Come on, there isn't much time.

There's gonna be another cave-in thereany minute.

[all straining]

[groaning]

Oh, it's funnyhow things get suddenly clear.

-[loud rumbling]-[whimpers]

[groans, whimpers]

If I'd shared you with my friends, none of this would've happened.

-[rumbling continues]-[yells]

Now I'm gonna get what I deserved.

[whimpers]

[Gobo] She's gonna go any minute.

-Don't stop now, we're almost there.-[Mokey] I can see him.

Boober, reach out your hand.

[Wembley] Boober?

Mokey?

[grunting] They must...

[all grunting]

[Boober screams]

-You saved me, I don't believe it.-[coughing]

Oh, I thought I was done for.

Oh, you were. Oh, you were.

You can thank Wembley herefor getting you out in time.

-Oh. [chuckles]-Oh, little guy...

-Ah.-I'm so lucky to have you as a friend.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

If I had that perfect blue rollieright now...

-[rocks rumbling]-Whoa.

-What?-Whoa.

[gasps]

Unbelievable.

[both] Oh, no.

[sighs]

Here, I want you to have this.

Oh.

Wow.

-Uh...-[chuckles]

I want all of us to have it.

-Here.-Oh, yeah.

-For me?-Yeah.

-Oh, thank you.-[chuckles]

[all laughing]

Oh, boy, I'll tell you one thing.

I have had it with stuff.

-Oh.-Uh-huh.

You... You meanyou're not even gonna save laundry lint?

[clicks tongue]

Well, let's not get carried away.

[all laughing]

Oh, Boober.

[Gobo] Boober, you're the limit. [Gobo] Boober, you're the limit.

[all laughing]

[Gobo] Oh, let's take it backand share it with everyone.

[grunts]

Not bad, if I do say so myself.

-[barking]-Wait.

-There.-Ooh!

That's better.

-Hmm.-I think I'll call it...

-"Dog's Best Friend." -Mm.

Nice work, fella. I never would've thought of posing myself.

I can't think of a better giftfor Ms. Ardath.

She can put it on the lawnright outside her window

while she lifts weights.

You think she's gonna like it?

Mm-hmm.

[mimicking violin]

Give me that stick.

You're going to fetch ittill your paws ache.
