Down at Fraggle Rock.

Okay, Sprocket, I come
outand say something like this.

Good evening, ladies and germs.

Welcome to The
Captain's Inn Talent Night.

I am the Amazing Doc, and
this is my talking dog, Sprocket.

-Well, that's where
you come out.-[groans]

[sighs, murmurs]

-This dog is worth
$10,000.-[grumbles]

I still don't see how he
managedto save up that much.

[laughing] You gotta come
onwith a good, strong joke.

They love that.
Here's another one.

Did you hear about the
dog who was so dumb

he chased parked cars?

-[exclaims]-[laughs]
That's fun...

But Sprocket here,
he is one smart dog.

He is so smart, he can
talk and answer questions.

Now, Sprocket, what is
the opposite of smooth?

-Ruff.-That's right, rough.

Now, what is the top
partof a house called?

-Ruff.-That's right, the roof.

Oh, now, how about this one?

Who was the greatestbaseball
player of all times?

Who was the greatestbaseball
player of all times?

-Ruff?-That's right,
Babe Ruth. That's great.

Ooh, Sprocket, wait till you
seethe nifty poster I just made up.

"The Amazing 'Doc'and
His Talking Dog Sprocket."

[barking]

Sprocket. Sprocket. Wait, wait,
wait. What's bothering you, Sprocket?

What do you... Do you
want to talk to me about it?

Oh, wow. Look what I found.

-Wow!-Wow! Gobo,
that's really incredible!

What is it?

It's a two-headed broom

for cleaning the floor and the
ceilingof your cave at the same time.

-Yeah.-Oh, boy.

I wish I couldfind
something special like that.

Wembley, these cavesare
full of special things.

-Mm-hmm.-Oh, yeah.

Listen, the way I found this stuffwas
to scan the cave from side to side.

-Side to side?-[gasps]
Oh, look! A Gorg's tooth!

[gasps] Oh. Side to side.

Side to side.

- Side to side.-[object clatters]
- Side to side.-[object clatters]

[gasps] Gobo! Ooh, ooh, ooh!
Look, Gobo, Gobo, Gobo, Gobo!

Look what I found!

It's heavy. It's round.
It's shiny. It's... It's gray.

-It's beautiful.-It's a rock.

-Well, yeah. But it's... [sighs]

It's... It's a rock.

It's a rock.

It's a rock.

Um... [gasps] Oh, boy!

-Gobo! Gobo!-Huh?

Gobo, look what
I found this time!

Look at it! It's
wonderful! Ha! [panting]

It's a mushroom.

Well, don't you
thinkit's kind of unusual?

[clears throat]

Oh.

Wembley, we're all
lookingfor special stuff.

So just don't call meunless
it's really something, okay?

Okay, Gobo.

Oh, boy. I'll never
find anything special.

[gasps] Oh. Oh,
it's... it's an old bottle.

Hey. Hey, Gobo! Uh,
is an old bottle special?

An old bottle is just an old bottle.
An old bottle is just an old bottle.

Only it's not
just an old bottle.

[grunts]

It's a real old
bottle, and it's green.

Yeah. I bet if I clean this up,
Gobo would think it was special.

Ha!

[blows]

Oh. Oh, hey. This thing
has picture writing on it.

Let's see. "Bottle
this rub not do."

Huh?

Oh. "Do not rub this bottle."

Huh. Whoa!

Uh-oh!

[shuddering]

[screams]

[gasps]

[shouting]

[coughing]

Well, it's about time!

Oh, boy, is it cramped in there,
and I got a kink in my neck.

I don't wanna say thatthat bottle's small,
I don't wanna say thatthat bottle's small,

but I didn't even have enough
roomto change my mind. Hey.

[stammering] Who are you?

I'll give you a hint, cutie.

I'm green, I live in a bottle,
and I'm not the Good Fairy.

Wait. Y-Y-You're a genie. Wow!

Ooh! And y-y-you're a genius.

-Wow!-Oh!

No, no, but seriously, thanks a
lotfor helping me out of that bottle.

-Put her there, pal.-Oh.

Yuk, yuk, yuk! [laughing]

Oh, boy, that trick still
worksafter all these ages.

-Ooh.-Um...

So, uh, big nose, what kind ofweird,
fuzzy creature are you after all?

Oh, well, I'm Wembley Fraggle.
When do I get my wishes?

You had to bring that
up, didn't ya?[groaning]

I just thought that whena
Fraggle lets a genie out of a bottle,

he gets wishes, doesn't he?

Well, yes and no.

What does that mean?

Used to be yes. Now it's no.

Oh. Since when?

Since now. I got to
thinkingwhen I was in that bottle.

Since now. I got to
thinkingwhen I was in that bottle.

I... I give everybody
wishes, and what do I get?

I get corked upin this
rotten bottle for ages.

-Oh.-It's a lousy
job. A lousy job.

[sobbing] You can
understand that.

-[sobbing]-Sure. That's
terrible. That's terrible.

You bet your green,
fuzzy face it is.

So, I decided when I got out, I
was gonna stand up for myself.

No more wishes.

You understand that, don't you?

Oh. Yeah.

But... But wouldn't
you consider, like,

starting with maybe the
next guywho opens the bottle?

You're not asking for
wishes, now, are ya?

-No, no, no, no. Of course
not. No, no.-Good. Good. Good.

Look, I'll tell you what, Wemb. Um...
You and me, we're gonna have some fun.

-Huh?-And first, a little magic.

-Yeah. Yeah.-Oh, okay.

We're gonna go and
walkthrough a wall. Come on.

-What?-Let's go.

-Wembley, it'll be fun.-I
don't know how to do this.

-[both gasp]-Oh! Oh!

[Wembley] Hey, Gobo, Red!

Did you see me? I just
walked through a wall!

Did you see me? I just
walked through a wall!

Yeah, but... but how?

-Well... [stammering]
Who's that?

I found the... Rememberthe
green bottle I found?

I rubbed it when I was cleaning
it, and out popped a magic genie.

-Well... [chuckles]-A
magic genie?

-Yeah. Yeah.-Wow! What
have you wished for so far?

[stammering]

-Explain it to him.-Well, he
doesn't give out wishes anymore.

-I thought genies always
gave wishes.-Yeah.

Oh, hey, hey. Wanna
see a great trick?

-Huh?-Watch.

Ta-da!

-Wow, that's fantastic!-Yeah!

Thanks. [laughing]

Oh, no.

Hey, that... that was allthe
great stuff we just found.

-Yeah.-Oh, don't be a sourpuss.

Come on, Wemb, let's go where
peoplehave a sense of humor.

-Come on. Yeah.
Yeah.-[Gobo] Oh, no.

-Oh, what a weird genie.-Hey.

I had a postcardfrom
my Uncle Travelling Matt.

-Do you see it
anywhere?-Oh, look at this.

-Huh?-It's the bottle
the genie came in.

-And it's got
writing on it.-Wow.

It says "Do not
rub this bottle."

I wonder why. I wonder why.

Maybe we should look it
upin Encyclopedia Fragglia.

-Yeah, let's go.-Yeah.

-Here it is, under
Genieologies.-Ooh. Ooh.

Uh... Oh, and here he
is under Bad Genies.

Uh... Uh...

Oh, listen to this. It says he
comes from a broken bottle.

Aw.

And here's a list of his good
deedsand his bad deeds.

Uh, stealing, lying,
breaking things.

What are his good deeds?

-Those are his good deeds.-Huh?

These are his bad deeds.

[both gasp]

-Oh!-Oh!

-Uh-oh!-[gasps]

We better go warn Wembley.

Yeah, yeah. You go that
way, and I'll go this way. [yelps]

I love the little people.

Isn't this great, Wemb? Doing
what you wanna do, having fun.

Isn't this great, Wemb? Doing
what you wanna do, having fun.

Well, uh, maybe
I should get back

and help Gobo clean
upall that stuff that broke.

Is that what you want to do?

-Well, no, not really...
Then don't do it.

-Let's keep having fun.-[groans]

Wembley! Wembley, you
better stay awayfrom that genie!

-[panting]-Why, Gobo?

Well, because, accordingto
the Encyclopedia Fragglia,

he's no good.

-He lies, he steals...-[gasps]

he cheats, and things
I can't even mention.

[gasps]

Is it true?

-Wembley, let me ask
you a question.-Uh-huh.

This Googoo here...
- Gobo.-[chuckles]

Yeah, Googoo, Gogo, whatever.

Would you say a lot of
timeshe tells you what to do?

Well, yeah, all the time.

-That's right.-Yeah.

Then, Wembley, it's
timeyou stood up for yourself.

What?

Wembley, don't listen to him.
He's gonna get you in trouble.

I think he even[whispers]
stole my postcard.

[gasps]

Did you see me take it, Gooby?

My name's Gobo. And
when you left, it was gone.

Well, we don't have to stand
herefor these wild accusations.

Well, we don't have to stand
herefor these wild accusations.

Wembley, tell your
friendthat we're leaving.

-But... But, Gobo, I have
to... Wembley, you better not.

Uh, Genie, I can't.I never
say things like that to Gobo.

Wembley, for the last
time, stand up for yourself.

-Think of it. Uh, we're
both green.-[whines]

-Uh...-Now say good-bye.

[whooshing]

-Uh...-[Genie] Come on, kid.

Good-bye, Gobo.

[Gobo] Wembley!

[nose honks]

Wemb...

-[thuds]-[groans]

You were great back there,
Wembley, the way you stood up to Gobo

and told him just
what you thought.

-Did I?-Yeah.

-Guess I did.-And even
coming to my defense.

Imagine your friend
Gobo accusing me

of stealinghis Uncle
Travelling Matt's postcard.

-You wouldn't do that.-Nah.

The point is, Wembley...
The point is I thank you.

-Oh.-You're a real
pal. Hey, put it there.

-Oh!-Yuk! [laughing]

-That kills me! Kills
me.-Hey! Wait a second.

- What's that in your shirt?-Hmm? What?
- What's that in your shirt?-Hmm? What?

What is that?

-What? What? [gasps]-[gasps]

-How'd this get here?-[gasps]

-Ah, we might as well
read it, huh?-But... But...

"Dear Nephew Gobo..."

[Matt] Today I found
myselfin a very sad place,

a place where Silly Creatures,
even little ones, are kept behind bars.

Silly Creatures are strange,

but that's no reasonto
keep them behind bars.

All right. Who is responsible for
this? I demand that they step forward.

[trumpeting]

[stammering]

Um, on the other hand,

perhaps I could get my point
acrossjust as easily in a... in a postcard!

[Matt] It is important to stand
upfor what you believe in.

Please let me in
there! [whimpering]

-[trumpeting]-Please!
[whimpering]

"Love, your Uncle
Travelling Matt."

-Um, Genie, don't
get mad...-Hmm?

But that postcard, did
you steal that from Gobo?

-Steal! Me? Steal
this?-[shuddering] I was, uh...

I just borrowed it...
on a permanent basis.

I just borrowed it...
on a permanent basis.

-Uh...-Hey, who's that?

-Oh, that's Boober.-Come on.

Oh. But... But...

[clicks tongue] Oh. [sighs]

Hmm. [humming]

-[grunting]-What's he
hanging up ghosts for?

Oh, those aren't ghosts. No,
no, no. They're just bedsheets.

And Boober's washing thembecause
Boober loves doing laundry.

If those were
ghosts... [chuckles]

If those were ghosts, Boober
would bescared to death. [chuckles]

-Really?-Yeah.

-That gives me an
idea. Watch this.-What?

[imitating ghosts] Ooh!

Ooh!

[whispers] Duck!

-Ooh!-Ghosts!

-[screaming]-Ooh!

[screaming]

-Ooh!-Ghosts!

Ooga booga!

[weakly] Ooga booga.
[weakly] Ooga booga.

-[ghostly moaning]-[all
screaming]

[Gobo] Hey, what...

Hey, listen. No, wait. Wait.
Listen. Calm down. Listen to me.

It's all the work
of that awful genie.

[laughing]

-See there?-[laughing
uproariously]

Oh, I told you, Mokey.

-Very funny,
Wembley.-[Genie] Oh, boy.

I don't know who your big,
greenfriend is, but I'm surprised at you.

I... I could have hurt
my legor broken my tail,

-or suffered amnesia.-Yes.

Not to mentionthe
psychological effect around trust.

Ah, come on, Wemb. Let's get
out of herebefore they lecture us.

-But... Oh.-Come on,
move it. Move it, move it.

-Yuck!-[groans]

Who was that big,
green, awful creature?

I'll explain on the way.

But meanwhile, it's time we
did something about that guy.

-Yeah.-[laughing]

Oh, boy, Wembley,
we're sure having fun...

Hey! Hey, why so glum, chum?

Oh, I don't know.
Something's wrong.

[sighs]Ever since I let
you out of that bottle,

I'm laughing, but I'm
not having that much fun,

I'm laughing, but I'm
not having that much fun,

and everybody's mad at us.

Why couldn't you have
just beena regular genie

and just given me a few wishes?

Hey, you don't
want those, do ya?

I thought you wantedto
stand up for yourself.

The only way to learn to stand
upfor yourself is to listen to me.

-Now look. Here's
a guitar.-Uh...

Wembley, I got a songthat's
gonna explain everything to ya.

-And it goes a
little like this.-But...

[Genie strumming guitar]

Hey, put that guitar down.

And what are you gonna
doif I don't, carrot-face?

[Boober whimpers]

-We're gonna put you
back in that bottle.-Yeah!

-Yeah!-Yeah!

[laughing]

-That's what you think!-Oh!

I'm never going
back in that bottle.

And there aren't enough of you
Fragglesin this rock to put me there!

-[gasps]-I'm never
going back, understand?

Never.

Never.

Never!

Oh, no.

-Ha! Out of my
way!-[Boober screams]

Move it! Move it. Move
it, move it, move it!

Ow. [groaning]

[Wembley] Oh!

Gosh, Wembley, I don't want to
blame you, but this is your fault.

Gosh, Wembley, I don't want to
blame you, but this is your fault.

-Oh!-Never mind
that now, Boober.

The important thing isgetting
that genie back in the bottle.

No, he's right. It is my fault.

I'll think of
something. [whimpers]

[laughing]

Yeah, I'll just putsome
finishing touches on this.

[whispers] Now, Gobo, you're not
gonnaforget to come in when I call...

Wembley, don't worry about
itand don't think about it. Just do it.

-I'll go hide.-Okay. Okay. Okay.

[Genie laughing]

-Um... Um...-[Genie]
Well, look who's here.

-Yeah.-Hey, big nose,
want some radish beer?

No. And you shouldn't be
drinkingthat stuff either. It's bad for ya.

Give me a break, Wemb.
You're too much of a goody-goody.

[stammering] Well,
my name's Wembley,

and you're not half as tough
as... as you think you are.

-I'm even
tougher.-Uh... Oh, yeah?

Well... Well, I bet you can't...
you can't lift that boulder over there.

-What, that one
there?-Yeah, the big one.

[groans] Out of the way.

[chuckles] Oh, this is so tough.

I'll never lift
this.-[muttering] Gobo. Gobo.

I'll never lift
this.-[muttering] Gobo. Gobo.

Wembley, here.

Ooh, I never could
lift that, could I?

-[laughing]-[boulder crashing]

Well, okay, okay.[stammers]
So, you're strong.

Huh? Huh? Let's
see if you're smart.

I'll bet you can't say
"genie" backwards.

"Eineg." Give me
something harder.

Okay, well, I bet you couldn'tdo
something really spectacular,

like jump through my fingers.

No problem.

-Quick, Gobo, bring the stopper!-[Genie]
Hey, what's going on? Hey!

Let me out! Let
me... [straining]

All right. We did it! [laughs]

-You were great, Wembley.-Aw.

-Wait till I tell the
others.-Oh, boy!

[laughing] Hey, I caught you.

And now we're gonnabury
you forever, and, uh...

Oh, gee.

You look so... so small
and helpless in there.

What am I saying? He's
bossy and nasty and mean.

What am I saying? He's
bossy and nasty and mean.

If I let you out, they'd
be furious at me.

You'd probably tear
the whole place apart.

Oh, but... but if I don't, I'll always
knowl buried you forever and ever.

Oh.

Okay, okay, I'll let you out,

but you have to promise to go
far awayfrom here, all right? Okay.

[straining]

[shuddering]

-[loud boom]-Whoa!

Oh, thanks... for nothing.

[laughing uproariously]

Gee, I hope I
did the right thing.

Oh, Sprocket, that's ridiculous.

The joke about the dogwho was
so dumb he chased parked cars,

-I think that's
funny.-[growling]

Okay, name one other
thing you don't like.

[barks]

The poster?

And is there anything
else you don't like?

[growling]

No way. I'm not giving
into these demands. N-O.

[growling] [growling]

[all cheering]

[all] Heerble, deerble, beerble,
vest, Wembley Fraggle is the best!

Yay, Wembley!

[Red whooping]

Go ahead, Wembley. Tell
them how you captured the genie.

Well... [stammers] I'd just liketo
hurry up and bury this bottle.

Hey, hey, Wembley.

-Huh?-Wembley.

I never got a chance
to see the bottle.

Do you think you could show
it to mebefore you bury it?

-It's nothing special.-Please.

It's just an old bottle.

Sure it's special, Wembley. It's one
ofthe most special bottles I've ever seen.

-Come on,
Wembley.-No, no, please.

Come on, Wembley.
Show it to him. Come on.

-Oh!-[Fraggles gasping]

Oh, no.

I've k*lled the genie.

[all groaning]

No, you didn't, Gobo.

Oh, but the bottle's
busted into pieces.

Yeah, well, the genie
wasn't in the bottle.

But I saw you capture him.

That's true. Good point.
But I let him out again.

That's true. Good point.
But I let him out again.

You did what?

Oh, but don't worry. He
won't bother us again.

I made him promise to
gofar, far away from here.

-[Genie guffawing]-[Fraggles
screaming]

That's what you think, big nose.

I lied. [laughing]

Besides, I wouldn't
wantto leave Fraggle Rock

knowing how much
you'd all miss me, right?

-[all] No!-What?

Why...

-[all] Yes, master.-[whimpers]

And now the fun begins.

This... This has gone far

Well, I let you out of that bottle,
and I wish you'd stop all this!

[stammering]

-Your wish is my
command.-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You can't just do
what you want to do,

not if it wrecks the placeor
hurts someone. You can't...

-What'd you say?-Your
wish is my command.

My wi...

Really?

I wish you'd explain.

I was bound to give you your
wishesif you asked for them.

You... You mean all I had to
dowas stand up for myself?

Yes, master, that's
it in a nutshell.

Wow! In that case, I wish all the
Fraggleswere themselves again.

Your wish is my command.
Your wish is my command.

[loud boom]

-[Fraggles
chattering]-[Wembley gasps]

Uh, I wish all the stuffthat
was broken was fixed.

Your wish is my command.

[loud boom]

[Fraggle] How does he do it?

Anything else?

Uh, I wish I could
make you understand

the difference
betweenstanding up for yourself

and just doing
whatever you want to do.

Your wish is my command.

I suddenly understand.

[Fraggles murmuring]

Fraggles, dear, dear Fraggles, I
wish now to apologize to any one of you

whom I... I may have offended,
scared, inconvenienced, or bamboozled.

-[Fraggle] Aw.-And now...
[sobbing]

Now I'll go back to my little,

-tiny... lonely...
bottle.-[Fraggles sighing]

-No, no. Wait, wait.-[sobbing]

Wait. No, no. I have one more wish.
Wait. No, no. I have one more wish.

Yes, master? [sobbing]

I wish you were free and never
hadto go back to that awful bottle again.

[all agreeing]

You'd really wish that for me?

Mm-hmm.

Your command is my
wish. Put her there, pal.

[all murmuring]

[all laughing and cheering]

Okay, Sprocket, I give in to
point oneof your list of demands.

I'll take out the joke about the
dumb dog. You're probably right.

It's doggist.

-[grunts]-Oh, point two?

Well, I agree to
give you top billing.

We'll be "The Amazing 'Sprocket'and
His Talking Human 'Doc.'"

You know, Sprocket, I got to admit.
You do know how to stand up for yourself.

[barks]

What?

Oh, all right. I agree
to your final demand.

-You don't have to wear
the arrow.-[murmurs]

-I'll wear it.-[barks]
