Splendid autumn day.

All the maples down the laneare flame red.

Sprocket, how many times do I have to tell you?

Do not chew on your blankie.

Ned Shimmelfinney was outraking his leaves,

and he asked me to return the sweaterl borrowed last week

when we went for a walk.

I can't for the life of meremember where I put it.

Remember the one,

it was the cardiganwith the hunters on the...

Sprocket, your blankie is not food.

Why do you keep...

Oh, no.

Ned's granny in Scotland knitted this.

It's too late for that now. The damage is done.

What am I going to tell him?

-Hello, Gobo. What you doing?-Making party food.

-What's the occasion?-Surprise party.

-What a great idea. Who is it for?-Can you keep a secret?

Me.

Gobo, how do you...

How do you organizea surprise party for yourself?

Simple, you don't tell anybody.

Now, wait a minute, Gobo. That's not... Loosen up, Red.

I got to thinking, now thatmy Uncle Matt's back from Outer Space,

it might be fun to have a birthday party.

-Great idea!-Yeah, just you wait.

This is gonna bethe best surprise party ever.

There's gonna be pickle-balancing, and high diving, and...

Hi, Uncle Matt.

I was just telling these guysabout my surprise party.

Well, yes, Nephew Gobo, I'm afraidl have some rather unfortunate news.

I'm not going to be herefor your birthday. I'm not going to be herefor your birthday.

But why?

Well, I have some unfinished businessin Outer Space.

I'll explain it all to youwhen I get back.

-Gee whiz.-Well, we'll do it another time.

You have my word on that.

Sure, whatever.

Could I have a private word with you?

-Sure, I guess.-Walk this way.

Okay.

So much for surprise parties.

Gobo was sure disappointed.

Yes! Well, I... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

You see, I want Gobo to have a real surprise party,

-not one he organizes himself.-Great idea.

I've brought him back a fabulous giftfrom Outer Space.

Good.

But I need you to take care of itfor a while.

Sure, I... What is that?

-A space frog.-A space frog?

Yes, it's a wild animal from space.

Silly Creatures make friends with themand keep them in these clear cave-ettes.

Silly Creatures make friends with themand keep them in these clear cave-ettes.

Don't be alarmed. That's the language it uses.

-What did it say?-I'm not quite sure.

-Hey, maybe it's hungry. What does it eat?-Flies.

It's the wrong season for themhere in Fraggle Rock.

-I see.-That's why I must return to Outer Space.

I get it. And I get to look after him?

-Oh, boy!-Yes.

But remember, you're welcominga new species to Fraggle Rock.

Yeah. Well, don't you worry, we're gonna be best buddies.

Right, space frog?

Ribbit, ribbit. See? There, we're already talking.

-Whatever you do, don't let Gobo see it.-Oh, no.

Don't you worry about that. I'll hide him someplace.

Hey, hey, hey, my name is Wembley. Can you say that?

No. Watch my lips. Wem-buh-ley.

-Hey, Boober. Boober.-Hi, Wembley.

Hi. Boy, have I gota neato surprise for you.

Wembley, what is that sound?

It's a creature from Outer Space. I'm teaching him to talk.

It's a creature from Outer Space. I'm teaching him to talk.

-That's cute. That's funny, Wembley.-Yes.

A creature from Outer Space, and talking.

No, seriously, Wembley, what is under the blanket?

Boober, I'm serious. It's called a space frog.

Travelling Matt brought it back for... Gobo.

Watch.

Yuck.

Yes. I knew you wouldn't mindif I hid him here.

This is Boober. Can you say that?

He's having a little troublewith pronunciations.

Wembley, this creature is covered with slime.

And that sound he makes.

Yuck. It makes my blood run cold. Out of here, Wembley.

Get him out of here right now, thank you!

Boober, you don't understand. It's a surprise present.

-I've got no other place to hide him.-Tough 'tatoes.

Listen, you can't park that alien

creaturefrom Outer Space in my laundry room.

-But, Boober, it's... Wembley!

Oh, no, that's Gobo! Quick we have to... He can't see this!

-No!-We gotta hide it! We have to hide it!

Wembley! Wembley!

He's escaped!

Now he's gonna get slime all over my feet! Now he's gonna get slime all over my feet!

-What are... Oh, no!-What are you two doing?

Dance lessons.

We've got a job to do. Your roommate is really down in the dumps.

Gobo, I guess you're really disappointedabout

not having your surprise party.

It's no big deal.

What was that?

It's just a new soundl'm learning to make.

Neat! Let's hear it again.

Ribbit. Well, I haven't exactly perfected it yet.

Wembley, why did my Uncle Mattwant to talk to you in private?

He knew you were gonna be upsetand disappointed

because he was gonna haveto go back to Outer Space.

And he...

There it was again! I did it right that time. Perfect.

And he asked me to cheer you up.

Great! Why don't we go back to the Great Hall

-and do some pickle-balancing.-Yes, yes!

I'm not in the mood.

Come on, Gobo. Don't be such a stick in the mud.

I'm not a stick in the mud. I'm a lump in the laundry.

I'm not a stick in the mud. I'm a lump in the laundry.

-Gobo!-No! You'll squash my...

-My delicates.-His delicates.

Gobo, listen, if you'll come with me, I promise I'll make you laugh.

-He can do it. He can do it.-Okay, okay.

-Come on, Gobo.-All right.

Yes, I'm right behind you.

-Yes! I'm coming!-That's the spirit.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Wembley. Wembley!

You cannot leave that slimy thingin my laundry pile.

Boober, I'll be back as soonas I get Gobo out of the way.

Just keep the space frog entertainedwhile I'm gone.

Entertained? Entertained? How do I do that?

Tell him about your hobbies.

My hobbies?

Cooking.

Stay! Sit.

Sit. Stay.

Back. Do not move.

Stay. Stay!

Sorry, sorry.

Hey, guys. What's going on?

We're just trying to cheer up Gobo.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Okay, Gobo. Ready? Ready? And...

Ta-da!

That's funny. I don't think it's working very well.

Come on, Gobo, give us a laugh.

-Come on, Gobo. Come on. Tickle, tickle.-Yuck, yuck, yuck.

Wembley!

Wembley!

-Boober! What?-This is absurd.

There's an alien creaturein my laundry room

and you're dancing aroundwith a pickle on your nose.

You're supposed to betelling him about your hobbies.

That creature is not interestedin my hobbies.

Well, you can't just leave him alone. He might just...

It's hijacked a Doozer-mobile.

Oh, no. We've got to catch him before Gobo sees.

You're welcome.

Pardon me, have you seena little green creature about yea big?

Yeah, my mother.

-Wembley, what are we gonna do now?-I don't know.

Boober, Boober, Boober. There he is. There he is.

Don't frighten him. He might fall into the pond and panic.

He's probably never seen water before.

Okay.

Little space frog, please don't jump into the pond.

I know we can talk this out.

I'm your paland I shouldn't have left you before.

Believe me, you're gonna love it here. You're...

Sprocket, you're not helping.

Ned Shimmelfinney will never speak to meagain.

Here it is.

Hello?

Hi, Ned. I was just thinking about you.

No, no. I didn't find the sweater. No, no. I didn't find the sweater.

But I remembered what I did with it.

I sent it to the cleaners.

Well, no, I mean, there was just a small stain on the cuff.

No worry, Ned, I'll have it over to you within the hour.

Bye.

Well, what did you expect me to do? Tell the truth?

I've committed myselfto another course of action.

How does that look?

-Wembley.-Boober.

-Buzz, buzz.-Wembley, this is ridiculous.

I'm just trying to thinklike a space frog.

Sure, Wembley. Dressed as a fly.

That's what they eat.

How else am I ever gonna lure himout of the pond?

Now, look, I am only helping you with thisbecause I can't stand to think

of that slime-covered beast contaminatingour water supply.

Just keep your eyes peeled.

-Wembley? Wembley.-What? What?

Wembley, what's this all about?

It's a costume.

What's all this "bzzz bzzz bzzz bzzz" stuff?

-It's a dance craze.-Dance craze!

A dance craze I inventedwith Boober, right?

-A dance craze?-I didn't know what else to say.

What kind of dance craze?

-It's a great, great dance craze.-Great, great.

-Wait till you see it. It's a big fad.-Yeah. It's a fad.

-Let's show 'em.-Show 'em? What?

Everybody flap your wingsFly up high and shake that thing

Buzz, buzz, buzz like a fuzzy fly

Insects rock and so do I

Hey, everybody. Hey, everybody. I just had a vision.

-Excuse me.-What?

A vision, yes. I was fast asleep on a bed of moss,

when suddenly I looked upand I saw a shiny green creature

with great bulging eyes.

- Bulging eyes?-Mokey? - Bulging eyes?-Mokey?

-Yes, what?-Might the word "slimy" apply here?

-Slimy?-Slimy.

Slimy.

-Yes.-Yes!

Slimy and beautiful.

And it was so real.

Come on, I'll show you where it was. Come on.

-Yeah.-So real.

Yeah, you see, I was down here collecting moss,

and then I came right over here,

and I kinda lay down and I fell asleep. Sort of dozed off, you know.

-And then... False alarm? Yeah, I thought so.

Mokey, I guess you were just imagining things.

What say we all go backto the Great Hall...

Excuse me.

What was that?

That's the new soundWembley's taught himself to make.

Yes. Ribbit.

-New sounds. Dance crazes.-Ribbit.

Wembley, you certainly are in a creative period.

-He's a regular little dynamo.-Really?

And, Mokey, you know what?

If you put the new soundand the new dance together,

you get something that goes like this.

Buzz, buzz, buzz, ribbitBuzz, buzz, buzz, ribbit

Buzz, buzz, buzz, ribbitBuzz, buzz, buzz, ribbit

Buzz, buzz, buzz, ribbitBuzz, buzz, buzz, ribbit

You know what I like about Wembley?

He's really strange.

Hey, Wembley!

It's working. Gobo's laughing again.

Wembley, Wembley.

Wembley.

-What, what, what?-Listen.

Your dance craze has really caught on.

-You're kidding!-No, really. Come and check it out.

-Let's go, come on.-Yes, go! Go check it out!

Check it out. That's right. Bye.

Little space frog, calm down. It's your old pal Wembley out here.

I'm gonna look after you, but first I have to do some dancing.

Boober, carry the basket, okay?

-Forget it.-Thank you, Boober. Thank you so much.

Now, don't let him out of your sight, whatever you do.

I do not wanna be a part of this.

It's a new dance craze. It's going to sweep the world.

The young of today, I just don't know.

Uncle Matt, I thought you had to go into Outer Space.

Well I did, to harvest these. But now I'm back.

-These are flies.-Yes, yes.

Wembley, there you are.

I'm so glad you're back, Gobo's Uncle Matt.

I've been having a tough time.

You missed my birthday to harvest fliesin Outer Space?

You missed my birthday to harvest fliesin Outer Space?

Indeed I did.

May I have the space frog, Wembley?

You betcha, Gobo's Uncle Matt.

Boober's been looking after itright over he...

Right over...

I'll be back in a jiffy!

Boober! Boober!

Space frog? What's that?

It's a fabulous presentfor your surprise birthday party!

You're going to have a birthday today?

-I guess so.-Fabulous! Fabulous!

Boober!

Boober!

-Pardon me.-Don't mention it.

Boober!

Get up! Hurry, Boober!

Where is it? Where is it?

Wembley, Wembley, Wembley.

We can sort this outlike two mature Fraggles, all right? Okay?

One of whom is dressed as a fly.

Boober!

They're waiting for me! Where is it? Where's the space frog?

I left it near the hole to Outer Space.

You did what? It might escape!

Well, that was the general idea.-This is a disaster.

Well, that was the general idea.-This is a disaster.

A disaster! It's a disaster!

Wembley, it was encrusted with germs.

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

Oh, no! It hopped back to Outer Space.

Well, I say good riddance.

We were just gettingto know each other too.

Hey, come on, Wembley. Come on now, guy.

It's all for the best.

Who wants to be on a first-name basiswith that kind of slime?

What am I gonna tell Gobo's Uncle Matt?

-Where are you going?-I've gotta go get the clear cave-ette.

Why?

What if something should happento him out there?

I've got to go into Outer Spaceand get him back.

Wembley in Outer Space?

I can't knit. My fingers are too chubby.

Hello? Hello?

Ned, I was just going to call you.

Yes, I've got it right here.

Well, of course I can understandyour sentimental attachment.

I'll bring it right over.

Bye.

Well, this is gonna be the endof a beautiful friendship.

Okay, okay, okay.

Here, froggy, froggy, froggy, froggy, froggy.

Here, froggy!

I'm not ready to go out thereand catch a space frog all by myself.

But I've got to, I've got to.

What?

Space frog, you didn't escape after all. Space frog, you didn't escape after all.

Space frog! Space frog.

Space frog, this is your old pal Wembley here.

Please don't run away.

Listen, this is your new home. You're gonna love it here.

If you'll just make that soundone more time so I can find you.

You're hiding in there. Oh, boy.

You don't have to hide from me, little fella. I'm your friend.

Okay. Okay, just stay where you are, little fella.

I'm not gonna hurt you. That's it.

Just stay still.

There you go, little guy.

You know, I just can't figure outwhy you keep trying to get away.

I mean, Fraggle Rockis such a beautiful place.

You don't understand a thing I'm saying, do you?

I guess it must be kind of frustratingfor you too.

I mean, back where you come from,

there'd be plenty of other space frogsto talk to, right?

I know.

I'd sure find it hard to be separatedfrom my friends and...

my home.

You know what?

I think... I think we just communicated.

Such ceaseless energy. Such careless joy.

-Here's Wembley's fly costume.-Yeah.

What do you think, Gobo?

I hate to say it, but I think he's gone out.

I'll never forgive myself if something badhappens to him out there.

-It's not your fault, Boober.-No.

I should never have letthat space frog go.

Wembley.

You've recaptured it.

- Yeah.-Fabulous. - Yeah.-Fabulous.

Gobo, this is the space frog.

-Hey, everybody.-Incredible.

Let me through. Everybody get back!

Gobo's Uncle Matt, I've made up my mind.

I'm gonna let the space frog go backwhere it came from.

You can't do that.

-That is Gobo's surprise birthday present.-Yeah.

I'm sorry to have to ruinyour birthday surprise, Gobo,

-but it's just gotta be this way.-I don't get it.

Creatures belong in the placethat they came from, Red.

The space frog belongs out there, the same way that we belong in here.

All he wants to do is, is go home.

See?

I'll understand if you never wanna speakto me again for doing this as it's...

Hey, Wembley. You've got it all wrong.

You're my best buddy.

And I think you're rightabout the space frog.

-You do?-Yeah, look at him in there.

He doesn't look happyall scrunched up like that.

-No.-Come on, let's let him go.

Okay. Hey, don't worry, little guy.

You'll be home in no time.

He'll be okay.

Is he gone?

Yeah, he's gone. Now what?

Hey! It's my birthday.

Yeah, it's your birthday.

-But we don't have anything to give you.-Why, sure we do.

Here, Gobo. It's your very own family of flies.

Cherish them always!

Gee, thanks, Uncle Matt.

I'm touched.

Buzz, buzz.

Hey! Buzz, buzz, buzz... Hey! Buzz, buzz, buzz...

Follow me!

Sprocket, you won't believe what happened.

He said he was sentimentally attachedto that sweater

because it's the one he always lendsto his best friends.

And they always bring it back with... Well, with a new stain, or a tear.

And he loved that ragged biton the sleeve.

What's wrong, Sprocket?

What was that?

Sprocket, you shouldn't bebringing frogs into the house.

Come on, little fella, you don't belong in here.

You go to the pond at the backof Ned Shimmelfinney's

and sing him to sleep tonight.

'Cause it's friends like thatthat makes life worthwhile.
