Down at Fraggle Rock

Down at Fraggle Rock.

What on earth?

What's wrong, Sprocket? This isn't you at all.

A Doberman pinscher.

You were pretending to be a ferociousand terrifying animal.

Wait. I've got it.

This is for Ms. Ardath'smasquerade ball, right?

You wanna go as a different kind of dog?

That's an interesting idea.

However, I think you'll find

you'retemperamentally unsuited to be a Doberman.

Me? Well, I thought I'd goas a defensive linebacker.

Hey, pup dog.

How's about we go outand toss the old pigskin around?

Then maybe we'll lift some weightsand then run a few miles. Hey?

You mean it wasn't evena little bit believable?

"And then did the mighty Princess

Gwenelotfling open her cloak of invisibility

and reveal herself in all her glory."

Red, what are you doing?

Sorry, Gobo. I was just being invisible.

Are you still readingthose adventure books

about Princess Gwene-whosis?

"Lot." Gwenelot.

I've read all 37of the Elder Clan Adventures,

including Gwenelot and the Blue Dragon.

Not my taste in fiction.

No, you like those dumb postcardsyour Uncle Matt writes.

Uncle Matt's cards are not fiction.

They're history, knowledge, wisdom. They're history, knowledge, wisdom.

Fantasies, silliness, rubbish.

I'll ignore that completely.

Now listen, I'm expecting Uncle Matt homefrom Outer Space today.

-Have you seen him?-Nope.

Maybe he's coming throughthe other entrance.

Other entrance?

What other entrance?

Oh, well.

"Then towards the other entranceof the dragon's lair

crept the beauteous Gwenelot, waiting for her chance."

Red, what are you doing?

Sorry, Uncle Matt. I was just playing around.

Yes, yes, I suppose you little Fragglesdo like to play around.

And I suppose what you dois big serious work, huh?

-Absolutely. I'm glad you appreciate it.-Oh, brother.

Courage in the face of danger. It's become a kind of trademark for me.

I bet it's not all that dangerousin Outer Space.

I bet any Fraggle could go out there.

- I dare you.-What? - I dare you.-What?

-Double dare.-Uh-huh?

Why, you couldn't even get pastthe furry creature.

-I could too.-Go on.

Okay.

Long live the Elder Clan.

Okay. Let's hear your imitationof a timber wolf.

Oh, no, help!

Oh, darn.

Don't talk to me. I'm invisible.

Don't let it worry you.

Little Fraggles such as you are not meantfor these brave deeds.

Speaking of brave, have you seen my nephew Gobo?

Oh, brother.

Gobo went to look for youat the other entrance.

What's the other entrance, Uncle Matt?

Actually, there are many entrancesto Outer Space.

They're all in this special roomcalled the T. Matthew Fraggle Room.

The T. Matthew Fraggle Room?

-I named it myself.-No kidding.

I discovered it. I discovered it.

-You made it up.-Nonsense.

I think I will go there now. I can fit inone more brush with danger before lunch.

He burns me up! He really does!

I wonder about these other entrancesand this room.

The entranceto the T. Matthew Fraggle Room.

What's down there?

Wow!

Look at this place.

There must be a jillion tunnels.

What wonders will I find here today?

The trouble is,

all of these passageways tend to look...

alike.

And I can never tell exactlywhere I've been...

and where I'm going.

So what else is new?

The joy of the unknown.

I don't believe it.

It looked like all you have to dois touch one of these arches

and, whoosh, Outer Space.

I'd love to.

Red Fraggle, why are youalways waiting for me?

Do all of these arches leadto Outer Space?

Oh, yes, they do. Horrible, frightening places.

Where did you go?

Well, I went to a hideous, terrifying place

called the Mother FluffyTeddy Bear Company.

That's just all make-believe.

Look who's talking, little Princess Gwene-whosits.

Now you stay away from those arches.

Outer Space can be dangerous.

"Outer Space can be dangerous."

I wish I knew what was reallydown these passageways.

Princess Gwenelot would find out.

She would draw her cloakof invisibility around her

and she would sally forth.

No! I didn't mean to touch it!

Is this Outer Space? Is this Outer Space?

It doesn't look likeanything Uncle Matt's talked about.

Where's the Silly Creature?

And the hairy monster?

I think Uncle Matt's been keepingthis place to himself.

Golden apples. Beautiful!

What's Uncle Matt talking about?

There's nothingto be scared of around here.

Masquerade balls are more troublethan they're worth.

I can't get the hangof this football uniform at all.

Maybe I should have made stiltsand gone as a basketball player.

How about you, Sprocket?

Have you decidedwhat animal you're going as?

That's very ingenious, Sprocket.

But aren't you a little smallfor an elephant?

Uncle Matt must be braver than I thoughtif this is what he goes through every day.

See this rock? Go fetch!

I'm back.

I'm alive.

I've been to Outer Space.

I'd better mark this archso I can find it again.

I know, I'll use my amulet.

Let's see.

Oh, no. No, I can't touch the arch.

I'll put it on the floor. There.

Now to tell Uncle Matt. Wait till he hears!

That was some good lunch, Mokey.

Thanks. Uncle Matt seems to have enjoyed it too.

-Uncle Matt!-Oh, yeah.

Uncle Matt! Uncle Matt!

I did it!

Did what?

I went into Outer Space.

-You did?-When?

-Just now.-I doubt that very much.

It was terrifying, but I did it anyway.

I was brave enough to go into Outer Spaceand brave enough to get back.

-Then you had an adventure.-I'll say.

At first, I came tothis incredibly beautiful place.

And there was a tree hungwith golden apples.

Golden apples.

Yeah. And then...

out leapt this terrible blue dragon.

It howled and blew clouds of smoke.

I leapt back. It advanced. I hid behind a rock.

Now I see. You were play-acting.

Of course.

-How imaginative, Red.-What?

You're being Princess Gwene-thingy.

I am not!

I mean, it was really like my Gwenelot books,

but it was really, really therein Outer Space.

But it was really, really therein Outer Space.

Nephew Gobo, who is the rock'sleading authority on Outer Space?

-Why, you are, Uncle Matt.-Yes, yes.

And have I ever told you thatthere were dragons in Outer Space?

Nope. Never.

I don't care about that. I saw a dragon!

Red, Red, Red.

I'm glad you're having funwith this play-acting.

It's what you should dowhen you're a teensy-weensy Fraggle.

And now I shall return to Outer Space.

And when I come back, I will come with proof.

What got into her?

Well, perhaps I will follow.

-Just to keep her out of trouble.-Yeah.

Besides, you can't get any sleeparound here.

Gobo, can Red really go into Outer Space?

I don't think so.

Uncle Matt, wait. I'll go with you.

Now, where is that arch I markedwith the amulet?

Where is it?

Where is it?

Now to find some prooffor that dumb old Uncle Matt.

I don't see Red here.

Perhaps she has actually goneinto Outer Space.

I'll go see.

-But, Uncle Matt...-What?

There's about a jillion tunnelsshe could have gone down.

Well, yes, but perhaps I'll get lucky.

-Care to join?-Well...

No, thanks.

As you wish.

Why did I say that?

Why didn't I have the courage to go?

'Cause the one time I went, it was really scary. That's why.

If I bring backone of these golden apples,

they'll have to believe me.

Thank goodness that dragon isn't around.

Shouldn't be hard.

All I have to dois touch that arch and follow Matt.

I would like to know where he went.

I would like to knowwhere that Red Fraggle went.

Red, are you here? Red?

Red?

I'll ask this Silly Creature.

Excuse me. Perhaps you can help me.

A friend of mine has been telling mea story about a blue dragon.

Do you know where I could find it?

Thank you very much.

Red, are you in there?

I'm gonna do it. I'm going into Outer Space.

Now let's see.

Was it that one that Uncle Matt touched,

or was it this one?

Too late!

Where am I?

I don't believe it.

Hey, Sprocket. Ned Shimmelfinney loved my costume.

And he had one perfect addition.

Come on and have a look.

Wherever my uncle Matt is, I hope it's less terrifying than this.

I did it!

It was scary, but I did it.

Uncle Matt. I did it. I followed you into Outer Space.

I didn't see you.

-Did you see Red?-No, but I saw a monster.

Well, one often finds monstersin Outer Space,

not like Red's little make-believe dragon.

Go away!

There goes the apple. No!

Great greasy green Gorgs!

Oh, no! That means there's a dragon loosein Fraggle Rock!

Stop!

Hey, wait a minute. I'm supposedto be afraid of you, remember?

Hey, wait a minute. I'm supposedto be afraid of you, remember?

Wait! You're proof!

If I show you to Uncle Matt, he'll believe I've been in Outer Space.

Come here.

No, no. Come back!

I'll show you the way homeafter Uncle Matt sees you.

I've looked everywherefor that little red-headed Fraggle.

Where can she be?

Where is that Red?

There's her amulet.

She shouldn't leave thislying around on the ground.

I'll put it where she can find it.

No!

Uncle Matt?

Uncle Matt, I didn't find Red. Did you? Uncle Matt, I didn't find Red. Did you?

Where's Uncle Matt?

Where is Red Fraggle?

Where is that dragon?

Now I've lost everybody.

It's the place Red described.

Except that it's very peaceful.

There's no dragon here.

She probably made that part up.

Amateur explorers sometimes do that.

I think I'll take a nap.

Maybe that dragon has found his way hometo Outer Space. I'll check.

Now, where's that amulet?

What? Oh, no!

The amulet's gone too!

Hey, Sprocket.

Say, you're getting very goodat this elephant business.

I just spoke to Ned Shimmelfinneyon the phone,

and I told him you were goingto the masquerade ball.

He said so is his cat Fluffinella.

But I say, what kind of a dumb costumewould a cat come up with?

Fluffinella?

Come on, Sprocket. I'll help you make a new costume.

This Outer Space business is tough.

I'll never laugh at Uncle Matt again.

What a lovely, quiet spot that was.

I feel quite refreshed.

Red's amulet.

I'd better just put it backwhere I found it.

There.

Now, which way is home?

-Gobo, there is a dragon.-Where is a dragon?

-I don't know where.-Well, then maybe there isn't a dragon.

There is, and that's whyl have to find Uncle Matt.

-Uncle Matt?-Where is Uncle Matt?

I don't know where Uncle Matt is.

Maybe he went down here.

The dragon's gone. Uncle Matt is gone. The amulet's gone.

I wish I were gone!

Used to think I was stable

I used to think I was very calm

Earth was flat as a table

I kept my life on a string in my palm

Now I'm falling through highlights Now I'm falling through highlights

Nothing coming to catch my fall

What I'm talking 'bout my life

The people don't know at all

Now I'm just upside-down, inside outFalling down, turnabout

What I mean, where I've beenPeople don't know

I'm on the ground, in the airRound and round, everywhere

Who I am in the jam, people don't know

I'm upside-down, inside outFalling down, turnabout

What I mean, where I've been People don't know

Now, where did Gobo go?

Yep, nothing's changed.

No Matt. No dragon. No amulet.

You mean that amulet?

-But... But... Excuse me.

I've got to keep lookingfor my uncle Traveling Matt.

Uncle Matt! Uncle Matt!

Where have you been?

Oh, no, you don't. No, no. Stay, stay!

You're staying right here untill can show you as proof to Uncle Matt.

Listen. I'm sorry. I don't mean to scare you.

As soon as Uncle Matt sees you, you can go home.

You see, I marked the entrancewith that amulet over there.

So when Uncle Matt gets back... No! No!

Oh, no!

Wait! Wait a minute.

Why, hello, Red Fraggle!

Uncle Matt, Gobo. Boy, am I glad to see you guys!

I know, I know. You just want to tell usmore about your imaginary dragon.

Gobo Fraggle, I can prove he exists.

I can take you there and show you.

Uncle Matt, come here. I want you to hear this.

Very well. By the way, this is your amulet.

You moved the amulet?

Well, you left it overby one of those tunnels there.

But... But... Now I can't prove I've been to the land

where the blue dragon guardsthe golden apples.

I believe you.

-You do?-Been there myself.

Didn't see the dragon, but the golden apples are lovely.

See?

Congratulations, Red.

Now all three of us have beenin Outer Space.

Yeah! But you can have the place.

Uncle Matt, all this timel thought you were kidding

with these wild stories of Outer Space, but I've learned a lot.

You are one brave Fraggle.

Why, Red, you've noticed.

I don't believe it. Uncle Matt and Red have made friends?

-Now just between us friends, Red...-Yeah?

You did make upthe part about the dragon, right?

What? I did not. It was really there!

Well, maybe they've made friends.

What a great party, Sprocket.

It's fun dressing upand pretending to be someone else.

And people believed thatl really had played football in college.

And you went as a toy poodle.

Well, now you know what it meansto be a poodle.

You've learned what it's liketo walk in another dog's moccasins.

I wonder why Fluffinella didn't goin her dragon costume.

When she showed up as a toy poodle too,

well, we knew we were infor a noisy night.

Sprocket, why don't you pretendyou have laryngitis?
