Down at Fraggle Rock.

Well, there it is again, Sprocket.

Further proof dogs cannot flyunder their own power.

I think it's commendableyou want to be an inventor, Sprocket.

I'm honored that my dog wishesto follow in my footsteps,

but the computer proves it's impossiblefor you to fly in that rig.

If you look at the screen, you'll see it's impossible for you to fly

with those wings.

Four?

A coefficient of four bisectingthe interstitial ratio?

Well, if you say so.

Sprocket, you are a genius. Look at that formula.

You've proved it! Dog can fly.

-On the count of three...-Yes, yes, yes.

- One, two, three.-Yes. Two, two, two. - One, two, three.-Yes. Two, two, two.

Three. Yes, yes, yes. Oh, rats!

Red, how can you do that?

-Well, what can I tell you, Wembley?-I don't know.

The three-rock hand balancetakes practice, dedication, and hard work.

Well, I've been practicing, I'm filled with dedication

and I'm tired from all the hard work.

Well, I've been practicing all morning, and I just learned to do it

a little while ago.

Well, I'll never be able to do it.

Well, let's face it...

Maybe three-rock hand balancing is a gift.

-You either got it or you don't.-Yeah, maybe.

And since I got it, I'm gonna go show it off to Gobo.

-You keep practicing, Wembley.-Great.

-Don't let it get you down.-Yeah, yeah. Must be neat to have a gift.

Red can show off by doing tricks, and Gobo shows off by exploring, and he...

Hi, little Spiderfly.

You see, even you have a gift.

You can fly.

Imagine, to be able to fly. What a wonderful gift.

Imagine, to be able to fly. What a wonderful gift.

Be careful, little guy, don't land there,

that's a snareblossom flower, it's sticky.

Now look what you've done. Here, let me help.

Okay, okay, there you go now.

Take off! Fly! Shoo! Shoo! Stay away.

-What in the... Well done! And well done!

-I owe you a wish.-Wait a second, who are you?

I'm a Spiderfly.

-Some of us are magical, you know.-No, no, I didn't know that.

Yes, well, there are many thingsin the Rock undreamt of in your...

whatchamacallit, young Fraggle.

Me, when I am helped out of trouble,

I change into a beautiful fairy godmother.

I also grant wishes.

But you're nota beautiful fairy godmother.

What?

I'm not a beautiful fairy godmother? No, I'm not.

Change of plan. Change of plan.

Yes, I'm currently wearingmy odd old man disguise.

It's all the same,

-don't worry, the wishes still work, yes.-Uh-huh.

-Where is it? Where is it?-What are you looking for?

My notebook.

-Uh-huh.-Yes. I always keep strict accounting

of all the wishes I grant.

-Uh-huh.-Now, what would you like to wish for?

Well, I'd like a toasted radish sandwich, please.

-You would not.-But you said anything I want.

Exactly! And you don't want that. Now, try again.

A button for my banana tree shirt?

No.

-A new guitar pick for Gobo?-Will you stop pussyfooting around?

I'm asking for your innermost, passionate, burning desire.

We just met and I didn't wannainconvenience you with any major requests.

It's all the same to me, and what you want to do is...

-Uh-huh?-...fly.

Well, sure. But Fraggles can't fly.

Why do I always get the troublemakers? Why do I always get the troublemakers?

-What?-If you want to fly, you get to fly.

That must be the most super thingthere is to do. Flying is freedom.

Soaring and swooping through the air, flying high over the Rock...

Wait a minute, what are you saying?

Now stop rhapsodizing and start flying.

I can fly, I can fly!

Too bad you can't land.

By the way, that's one.

Pardon?

I forgot to tell you a small detail.

You can only fly three times.

-Only three?-That was one.

Only two?

Oh, drat.

I'm about to turn back into a Spiderfly.

I can always tell, I get hungry for bugs.

Yeah?

And now I must bid you a fond... And now I must bid you a fond...

a fond...

See you around.

Goodbye. The Spiderfly!

I can fly! I can fly, I can fly, I can fly...

Wait till they see. They won't believe it.

I'll be the talk of the Rock. Something I can show off to everyone.

At last!

Now, watch this three-stonehand balance, Gobo.

One, two... Guess what I can do!

Wembley, don't do that.

You scared the baloobious off of me.

I was showing Gobomy three-stone hand balance.

Yeah.

Well, you think that's a big deal?

Wait till I show you what I can doto show off.

-I can fly.-That's crazy.

Fraggles can't fly.

I know you think it's impossible,

but when you hear my story, you'll believe me.

But when you hear my story, you'll believe me.

Okay.

-Let's hear your story.-Okay, well. Okay...

First, I found a Spiderfly trappedin a snareblossom and I freed it.

Then the Spiderflyturned into an odd old man,

who was really a fairy godmother.

So the odd old man said she could grantme a wish and I said, "A radish sandwich!"

And she said, "No, bigger!"And I said, "Flying," so I can!

Just wait till I show youthis three-stone hand balance, Gobo.

-Are you gonna be impressed.-Okay. Listen.

I'll show you, I will now take offand fly around the room!

-Okay?-Wembley, have you ever done this before?

Once. In fact, I can only do it twice more.

Wait a minute. I better not waste it.

I have to fly in front of all my friends!

Okay, Wembley, we're all here.

Okay, now I will leap out of this windowand fly once around the Great Hall.

-What?-Wembley, that window

-is about a jillion Doozer towers high.-Yeah!

I know, I know!

It'll give me a chanceto do a graceful dive

It'll give me a chanceto do a graceful dive

straight toward the ground,

and then I'll pull up inchesfrom the rocky floor and I'll zoom up, up.

The wind rushing through my fur, the ceiling streaking toward me.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

Wembley, Wembley, what Red is trying to say here is,

-what if you can't fly?-Yeah.

Well, but I can. I was granted the power.

By an odd old manwho was a fairy godmother, right?

-Right!-Yeah.

I think he may have been bittenby the gaga bugs. There's no antidote.

Wembley, when you flew before, how far did you fly?

Let's see, from about here to about there.

-Yeah.-Wembley, that's not flying.

That's called jumping.

Okay. I can understandwhy you wouldn't believe me,

so I'll just have to prove itby leaping out of the window.

So I'll just have to prove itby leaping out of the window.

Here goes the flying Fraggle!

Hey, everybody. Watch what I'm going to do.

Hold it!

Red, Red! Red, what are you doing?

I just wanna show off.

-Everybody else gets to show off.-I'm saving you, Wembley.

You don't believe I can fly.

Wembley, Wembley. Just think about it now.

No Fraggle's ever flown. It's very hard to believe you.

Well, it's true, and I'm a friend, and I wouldn't lie,

but just forget it. Just forget it!

Do you mind?

I know who my true friends are! Come on, Gobo.

We'll go somewhereand I'll show off just for you. Come on.

Wem...

Wembley, maybe it would be betterif you didn't try to fly.

Gobo! Do you mind?

-Not you too?-Well, I just...

I'm leaving now, and I'm never coming back!

I'm leaving now, and I'm never coming back!

Yes, I know we've theoretically proventhat a dog can fly with those things,

but that's not the same as going out thereand jumping off the garage roof.

Something could go wrong.

Well, I know you told Fluffinella the catyou were going to do it,

but that's just showing off. It's not worth it.

Sprocket, stay!

For once, I'm pulling rank.

As master, I forbid you to jump off that roof.

Leaving

Grieving

Why did they send me away?

I packed up my heart in my hankie today

Packed my hopes for a startThen I went on my way

My dreams and my schemesAre my luggage it seems

'Cause nobody wants me to stay

Nobody cares if I'm lonely or blue

There's only myself to whisper to

I packed up my hankie to go

I'm leaving forever, I know

'Cause nobody cares if I comeOr I go or I cry

It's time to depart

I packed up my heart

It's time to depart

I packed up my heart and goodbye

Hi, Gobo. He's really gone?

Soon as he left us, he came back here,

packed... and disappeared.

Did he take all his things?

He only has one spare banana tree shirt.

-Wembley packed his thing and left.-I know, I know.

And he only took one radish sandwich.

That's only enough to keep him goingfor maybe half a day.

No! Poor little Wembley.

Maybe we should've humored him.

If we had humored him, he would have ended up

a little green pancake on the floorof the Great Hall.

That nearly happened to me once.

-What do you mean, Uncle Matt?-Don't encourage him.

Well, I got myself into troublewhen I tried to do the impossible.

Are you saying you tried to fly, Uncle Matt?

Not quite, not quite.

I was on a beach in Outer Spacedoing my exercises...

One. One.

Two.

Ten.

When I suddenly noticedthat Silly Creatures had the ability

to walk on water.

Furthermore, they were very good at it.

They walked and walked on that water, showing off shamelessly.

Uncle Matt, are you pulling my tail?

Red, shh! Uncle Matt tells it like it is.

Indeed. After a word of consultationwith one of the Silly Creatures,

I, too, tried to walk on water.

And I made a great discovery that day.

Fraggles are meant to walk with their feeton the ground.

Anything else is just a dream.

Maybe it was just a dream. Maybe I can't really fly.

Maybe it was just a dream. Maybe I can't really fly.

Okay.

Oh, I can really fly, yeah!

That's two.

Great crawling caterpillars, man! Get on with it, will you?

I beg your pardon?

How long does it take youto use up a wish?

I told you you could fly three times, and you've still got one to go.

Please, sir...

-Ma'am! I've got problems.-No one is perfect.

I can't leave unused wisheslying around loose.

I thought you wanted to fly.

I did, I did. It was so I could show off to my friends.

My friends wouldn't let me fly. They didn't believe me.

So, find someone who will believe youand fly for them.

What I'd give for a bug right now.

Yeah, of course.

I just have to find someonewho will believe me.

Well, of course we believe you.-I'm overwhelmed with belief.

Well, of course we believe you.-I'm overwhelmed with belief.

You gotta get up pretty earlyin the morning

-not to believe a thing like that.-Yes!

Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy! Now I get to show off my gift.

But, little Wembley, if this is the only time you can fly,

you should take full advantage of it.

How do you mean, Marlon?

When you fly, could I tie a banneron your toe to flutter along behind?

It would read, "Elect Marlon King of the Fraggles."

No, no, wait a second! Look, if you're gonna fly,

you should fly to the Gorgs' gardenand scare the fur off of them.

No, wait, please!

If you can only fly once, would you give me a ride?

-Well... I'll just kind of cuddle up in your arms.

I'll get the banner. I can make it worth your while.

Ridiculous! It'd be great, furless Gorgs!

What a waste!

-Now, wait a minute.-No, wait!

No, listen to me.

-Wembley, there you are.-You're just in time.

Wembley's gonna fly for us.

-Yes.-No, he can't do that!

Yeah, he's giving me a ride. Yeah, he's giving me a ride.

-No, he's going to carry my banner.-No, he's gonna scare the fur off of 'em.

-He can't. He has to promise us.-Yeah.

-But he has to, he already promised us.-Yeah, he did. He promised us.

-Gobo, do something. He's your roommate.-Yeah, he'll listen to you.

Wait a minute.

No, leave him. Look, he's gonna do it.

This is worse than before.

Don't say it. Don't say it.

You're madbecause I haven't used my wish yet.

Well, a mere Fraggle cannot violatethe underlying cosmic laws

of the universe.

Haven't you read the rule bookon this subject?

Haven't you read the rule bookon this subject?

-No.-Where is it?

"How To Cook A Bug".

Wrong book.

A little present from my husband… Wife.

Either way, I don't care about flying anymore.

What? Moments ago...

Well, hours ago...

Well, once, you told me you could hardly wait to fly

so you could show off to your friends.

Yeah, and I tried too.

And it was awful. It was a lousy reason to fly.

Are you telling me you can't thinkof a good reason to fly?

No, I...

I think there's a good reason to fly.

And that reason is?

Well...

Well, just to fly! Just to feel what it feels like.

Now, that is a good reason.

It's the reason I remain a Spiderflyto this day.

-Really?-I'm not in it for the bugs, you know.

-Well, you... But flying...

it makes it all worthwhile.

There's a highway leading upwardFrom your heart

There's a highway leading upwardFrom your heart

And it's part of who you areAnd who you long to be on high

For a heart can fly

And why should you stay homeAnd be a stone alone

When all your dreams are fastenedTo the sky?

Let your heart fly free and high

There's a million wings to sing youOn your way

You can play with friendly windsAnd feel the sky go winding by

In the air you breathe

You feel your heartbeat tell youWhere the highway leads

The earth is like a dream beneath the sky

Let your heart fly free and high

Let it fly, let it flyLet it climb up to the sky

Let it soarYou'll be more than before

Let it fly way up highLet it climb up to the sky

Let it fly way up highLet it climb up to the sky

Let it soarYou'll be more than before

Let your heart fly free and high

You know, you're right. Forget about showing off.

-I wanna fly just for the fun of flying.-And it's about time too.

-So, go ahead and fly.-I'd rather not just now.

And why not?

Well, it's just that I'd feel likel was showing off in front of you.

Then I proffermy sincerest good wishes and...

Bye-bye.

Let it fly, let it flyLet it climb up to the sky

Let it soarYou'll be more than before

Let it fly way up highLet it climb up to the sky

Let it soarYou'll be more than before

Let your heart fly free and high Let your heart fly free and high

Here goes.

That's three.

Hi, Gobo.

Wembley.

Gobo, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.

Gobo, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.

That's okay.

-Well, I was just unpacking my thing.-Then you've come back?

You're gonna be herewith your friends again?

Yeah, please. I'd like to.

I'm glad.

-We've been worried.-Don't be worried.

I'm not anymore.

It was just, you know, all that flying business.

I know, I know. Well, for a while there, I just wanted to show off, but...

-I don't anymore.-Good.

-Wembley, you get some sleep.-Okay.

And just forget about all that flying.

I don't thinkl'll ever forget about flying, not ever.

Goodnight, Gobo.

I know you want to flyto show off to Fluffinella,

but before you actually use those wings,

we'll test the principleby using this scale model.

Sprocket, let me help youtake off those wings.

There we go.
