Down at Fraggle Rock

Down at Fraggle Rock.

This camping trip was a wonderful idea, wasn't it, Sprocket?

We can observe the plant and animal lifeby day

and the stars and planets by night.

Maybe even see a meteor shower.

No, no, you can't see anything now, Sprocket.

You've gotta wait for nighttimewhen the stars are visible.

All right, all right, I'll have a look.

It's a cloud.

All right, all right, I'll take another look.

It's a cloud shaped like a bone.

We come out here to study the universeand all you can think about is food.

Well, boy, that's the reason dogsdon't make good scientists.

I love ruling this vast universe.

My kingdom extendsas far as the eye can see.

My kingdom extendsas far as the eye can see.

And even farther than that, to the ever-most limits of forever.

This kingdom is mine, mine, mine!

Gee, Daddy, how come it's yours, yours, yours?

Now, what kind of question is that?

-A dumb one?-Precisely.

It's mine because I am the king.

And I have been the kingsince the last leaf fell

from the nirvana treein my father's garden.

You mean your pa had a tree like this?

Yes, he did.

What will happen whenall the leaves fall off our nirvana tree?

Why, then you'll be king.

Me? But why me?

Don't worry, son.

These leaves won't fallfor years and years and years.

That's good. Yeah.

Pa! Pa, are you all right?

I thought I saw... I thought I saw...

Oh, no! Ma! Ma, come quick!

Something terrible has happened to Pa!

-O, dread! O, woe! Oh, what?-It was terrible.

-What?-All the leaves fell off the nirvana tree

and suddenly Pa was lying downinstead of standing up.

O, my son and king.

Get up, Ma, will ya? I'm not your king.

Pa is your kingand he needs you right now.

You're so right, my royal baby.

And he needs me now morethan he has ever needed me before.

Pa!

Why now? Why now?

I'm not ready.

But my majestic one, you've been king for 742 years.

I know!

And I was just beginning to getthe hang of it.

Look, look, look! There's still one leaf left!

You don't have to be upset after all.

And look on the bright side. And look on the bright side.

Now you can doall the things you really love,

like fishing and taking naps.

But I do all those things now.

-Well...-And I get to rule the universe

at the same time.

You'll adjust.

Gee, that leaf will fall soon,

and then I'll be king.

I'm not ready for this.

I still have trouble tying my shoes.

Oh, boy.

How can I be king of the universe?

I don't even know what the universe is.

I know the universe

Is everywhere

It's full of radishes and things

It's full of air

But when I try to understand

I always wonder in despair I always wonder in despair

How wide

How far

How real it is

And if the universe

Is made like me

It must get lonely in the dark

And ask for tea

And is there anybody here

Who really knows just how to see

How wide

How far

How real it is?

The universe is real

But no one will reveal

How wide How wide

How real it is

It's all your fault.

After you fall, I'm doomed.

I got it!

If that leaf doesn't ever fall, then I never have to be king!

Yeah.

There. Now no one can ever say

that the last leaf fell offthe nirvana tree

'cause I ripped it off instead.

What if Mommy and Daddy don't believethat the leaf didn't fall?

I know! I'll get rid of the evidence.

Junior Gorg, if I do say so myself,

this is the smartest thingyou have ever done.

What's happening to me?

Oh, no!

I'm telling you, Wembley,

the nirvana tree is so mystical,

you're gonna be really gladyou came to see it.

Well, if you say so.

All clear.

Now is the time for you to be truly noble, my husband.

But I don't wanna be noble, I wanna be king.

Well, don't you worryyour little regal head about that,

you just go and check on the tree.

If that leaf has fallen, we've got a coronation to plan!

Wembley, just wait until you seethe magnificent golden leaves

of that nirvana tree. Of that nirvana tree.

-You are going to be awestruck.-Awestruck?

-Speechless.-Speechless. I can't wait.

Mokey, you were right. That tree is really something.

It has happened.

Junior is king.

I must do what my father did before me...

and try to glue one of those leaves backon the tree.

No. No, the queen is right.

Now is the time to be noble.

Junior, where are you?

Come try on the royal scepter for size.

Junior!

Fraggles.

-Fraggles near the nirvana tree.-Wembley.

This is an outrage.

Two of you, eh? Well, you won't get far.

Pa! Help me! Help me!

Another Fraggle.

Well, I'll get you too.

No, no, no, no, Pa! It's me!

Least I think it's me.

-Wembley? Wembley?-Mokey.

I went all the way around the...

Fraggles!

Come on, Wembley.

It's my mommy. She'll help me.

Ma, it's your prince. Save me!

What?

Oh, no! Another one!

Pa! Pa! You've gotta do somethingabout these Fraggles!

Why, I'm trying to do something.

I'm trying to thump 'em.

Ma, it's...

-Well, that was fun.-It was?

Sure. Well, I've gotta hurry.

I wanna go write my impressions downin my journal while they're still fresh.

Wonder why I didn't know that was fun?

I'll get you, you Fraggle!

There's another Fraggle out there? There's another Fraggle out there?

No, you don't!

Hey, over here!

I'll get you...

You pesky Fraggle, you!

Come back here!

You're Junior Gorg!

Yeah.

It's not so funny, you know.

My own pa tried to kill me.

-That's terrible.-You're not kidding.

What did he think I am, a Fraggle?

Well, yeah, that's probablywhat he thought, all right.

Yeah, well, I'm not! I'm a...

a Gorg?

Well, now that you mention it...

I don't mean to pry or anything, but...

but aren't you just a bit shorterthan you were when I saw you last?

How could something this terriblehappen to me?

How could something this terriblehappen to me?

Well, maybe it was something you ate.

Look, Junior,

when we Fraggles have problemsthat we can't solve,

we go to someone who has lots of wisdom, and she always helps us.

-But I'm not a Fraggle.-I know, I know, I know!

But I bet she'll help you anyway.

Do you want me to take you to her?

-I guess.-Okay, come on. Come with me. Come on.

-Well, okay.-Come on.

-I promise it'll be all right. Come on.-Okay.

Come on, Junior, we're almost there. Just a little bit further.

-Come on.-Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

-What?-Where are you taking me?

I'm taking you to the Trash Heap!

I thought we were going to see someonethat was full of wisdom.

We are!

-But that's a trash heap!-That's right!

You Fraggles are crazy. I'm getting out of here.

Junior Gorg, how nice of you to drop by.

Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me?

You see another Gorg who looks likehe just ate a nirvana tree leaf

anywhere around here?

I don't think so.

Help me. Please help me, Your Trashiness.

Sorry we're late, Marjory.

-Yeah. You are in the presence of... The all-knowing, the...

Look at this!

Now, boys, try to be polite.

Our visitor obviouslyhas a little problem.

Little is the word for it.

I told him you could help.

We'll do our best, won't we, boys?

I did eat a nirvana tree leaf.

But I did it for a very good reason.

And what reason is that?

Well, I don't wanna beking of the universe.

I don't even know what it is.

Well, if you don't know what it is,

how can you be so sureyou don't want to be the king?

Well, gee, it made sense a minute ago.

Let me tell you something, Junior Gorg.

When you eat a nirvana tree leaf, you don't always get what you want.

When you eat a nirvana tree leaf, you don't always get what you want.

But you just might findyou get what you need.

Are you telling me I need to be small?

Well, it might make it easier for youto see the universe

in a way that you haven't seen it before.

-Yeah.-But how can I get big again?

By seeing the universein a way that you haven't seen it before.

-The Trash Heap has spoken.-That means it's time to leave.

-Okay.-Go ahead. Scoot.

So long, short stuff.

None of that made any sense at all.

I'm gonna find my mommy and daddyand tell them I ate the leaf any...

No, more Fraggles!

They're gonna ruin the coronationfor sure.

Fret not, Queeniekins, these Fraggles are history.

Boy, doesn't he ever get tiredof thumping Fraggles?

Did you?

You know, I would never have thumpedanybody if I knew how it felt.

You know, I would never have thumpedanybody if I knew how it felt.

Not even a Fraggle.

Thanks... I think.

Help me, Fraggle.

Please help me see the universein a new way so I can get big again.

-Okay, I'll see what I can do.-Good Fraggle.

Junior, why don't you call me Wembley?

-Why?-Because that's my name.

Fraggles have names?

The Trash Heap is right,

you do have a lot to learnabout the universe.

Just look at what those Fragglesdid to my garlic pie!

I want them stopped. Do you hear me?

I will not have those horrible creatures

ruining the greatest dayof my baby's life!

Now, now, don't you worry, my little love queen.

Junior and I will make surethere aren't any Fraggles around

to spoil the coronation.

Where is our darling boy, anyway?

If he's anything like his Pa,

he's probably off having a last flingbefore taking on the burdens of kingship.

He's probably off having a last flingbefore taking on the burdens of kingship.

Come on. Junior. Junior, come on.

-Come in here.-You know, Wembley,

I think the universe must bethe biggest place in the whole wide world.

Hey! Hey!

-Everybody! Everybody, guess who's here.-What?

It's Junior Gorg.

Junior Gorg!

No, no, no. No, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Look how tiny he is.

Hi.

Hey, stop it!

Everybody, stop laughing right now!

Now, listen, Junior is having a little problem, and...

Little's the word for it.

I told himhe could stay here in Fraggle Rock

so I can help him work things out, okay? Any objections?

-Well... Good!

You must be the boss around here.

Me? No. Fraggles don't have any bosses. Me? No. Fraggles don't have any bosses.

You mean, you don't have somebodylike my daddy who tells you what to do?

Nope, nope. We each lead ourselves, and we all lead each other.

-That's right. Yeah.-Right? Yeah.

Tell you about it.

You can lead your friend to waterYou can go and get a cup

You can tell him it's as fine as fizzy pop

You can very kindly pour it

-You can tell him, "Slurp it up" -You can.

But you cannot make him drinkA single drop

For you can never, ever, ever

You can never, never, neverBe the boss

Of someone else

-No, you can never, ever, ever-Ever

-You can never, never, never-Never Be the boss

Of someone else

You can ask your friends to help you

You can beg them, "Pretty please"

You can even say they're stupidlf they don't

You can tell them your opinion

You can talk and trick and tease

But you cannot come and force themlf they won't

But you cannot come and force themlf they won't

-For you can never, ever, ever-Ever

Wembley, you know, I never knewthere were places in the universe

-where nobody made you sweep up.-Yeah, yeah.

Am the bossBoom, boom, boom, boom Of just myself

Oh, no! What did I do?

Hey, funny face.

If you're gonna knock these down, the least you could do is eat 'em.

What's that?

I am not a "that," I'm Cotterpin Doozer!

And if you don't eat these buildings, why, we won't have room to build any more.

And if you don't eat these buildings, why, we won't have room to build any more.

I don't understand. Why do you want me to eat your building?

'Cause it's delicious.

You see, we make these buildingsout of radishes,

which really works out kind of well, 'cause Doozers love to build,

-and Fraggles love to eat radishes.-Wait a minute.

-These are made of radishes?-Sure.

Are these like the radishesfrom my garden?

These are the radishes from your garden.

-Wait a minute.-What?

I think I understand.

-You see, I love to grow radishes.-Yeah.

-And Doozers love to build with radishes.-Yeah.

-And you Fraggles love to eat radishes.-Yeah!

It all fits together!

It does!

Wait till I tellmy mommy and daddy about this.

-Okay!-Oh, boy!

These are made of radishes?

Hey, Ma! Pa! Come out here!

I got something to tell youabout the universe.

Yeah, I should have done thisa long time ago.

Yeah, I should have done thisa long time ago.

Pa, but... What is he doing?

This bomb will keep the Fraggles awayfrom the coronation for good.

Oh, no! All my new friends will die.

No, no, no, wait!

Wait!

Wait!

Wait!

-Look out!-Look out!

My gosh! What is this?

I don't know, but it looks dangerous.

Don't touch it! Don't touch it! Just run for your lives!

Run for your lives!

I've got to stop it, but I don't know how.

Maybe if I pull one of these things, but... which one?

-I'm running out of time!-Be careful.

It stopped.

Come back in. I did it! You can come back!

You can come back.

Hooray!

That's funny, I don't hear anything.

Well, maybe that bombwasn't such a good idea.

You don't know the first thingabout ruling the universe.

And neither do you!

-Junior!-My baby.

What have those terrible Fragglesdone to you?

They haven't done anything to me.

But Pa's bomb could have killed me.

And all my new friends too.

You mean you shrunk yourself becauseyou wanted to be friends with Fraggles?

No, I ate the nirvana tree leaf,

and it made me small so that I could seethe universe in a way I never did before.

What balderdash!

Why, you don't have to understandthe universe.

You just have to rule it.

Well, that's what a king does.

Nobody knows that better than me. Nobody knows that better than me.

Pa.

You don't know the first thingabout being king,

or you would never have thrown that bomb.

Why, I was just doingwhat a king has to do.

Well, Daddy, you don't have to worryabout that anymore.

I'm the king now.

My baby's back!

Yeah.

Let the coronation begin.

-This is it, guys.-Yeah.

We Gorgs have always ruled the universe

because we're the best, the brightest,

the boldest and the biggest.

So, in the great tradition of Gorgic rule,

by the power vested in me as the ex-king,

I now crown you, Junior Gorg,

the new king of the universe.

This is the proudest moment of my life.

Thank you, Mommy and Daddy.

-I would now like to make a royal speech.-Hear, hear!

Parents and friends, especially you, Wembley.

Wembley.

I thank you all for joining meon this great day.

I've been thinking a lot aboutthis universe

I'm supposed to be king of,

and I'm still not sure I know what it is.

I still don't seewhat difference that makes.

Quiet, my love.

What I do know is that the universeis very wonderful,

and it seems to work really wellwithout anybody bossing it around.

-Now, wait a... Quiet, my love and former king.

So, as my first and last actas king of the universe,

So, as my first and last actas king of the universe,

I declare there shall be no more king...

now and forever!

But...

Attaboy, big guy!

Yay, Junior.

You did it.

It should be right around here.

Sprockie, I couldn't believe it

when I saw that meteorheading this way last night.

Sprockie, you found it!

Unbelievable.

As a scientist,

this is one of the greatest momentsof my life.

Well, that's right, boy. It's a great moment for a dog too.
