Oh, don't worry, Mr. Wylie.

I'm... I'm only too happy to comply.I'll...
I'll get on to it right away.

Goodbye.

Oh, oh, Mr. Wylie,
you forgot your cap.

-[snickering]-Imagine
that health inspector

implying we're
potentiallyharboring vermin

potentially harmful
to the neighborhood.

Just because we have a
rat-sized holein our wall.

[barking]

Of course.

You're always barkingat
that hole, Sprocket.

Maybe Mr. Wylie was right.

Maybe there is something
undesirableliving behind there.

[growling]

That's right, Sprocket,
and we promised to catch it.

-[barks]-Or them.

So we better keep our promise.

I think... I think we'll builda
small version of the trap

we used last summerto catch
that rabid ocelot for the zoo.

That ought to do it.
That ought to do it.

Here, hold thisto the
top of the hole, Sprocket.

I want to get a
diagonal measurement.

Well, Wembley, if I'm right,

this will bea highly
adventurous expedition.

Oh, boy. A highly adventurous expedition.
I love it. I love it. [whooping]

Yeah, first we gotta stop and
getsome provisions at the Gorgs' garden.

Oh, boy. Provisions.

Then will it be the beginningof
our expeditious adventuration, huh?

-Will it? Huh?-[chuckles]

Wembley, I think you're even
more excitedabout this than I am.

You bet.

An expedurous adventition.

-Oh, boy. I can't
wait.-[chuckles]

Oh, hi, Red.

Hi, Mokey.

Hi, Boober.

-Hi.-Hi.

We're on an advantageous
expectoration.

Oh, sorry.

Well, if you're goingto the
Gorgs' garden, you can forget it.

Yeah. We can't get out.

The Gorgs are right by the hole,

-and they're not moving.-Uh-uh.

Oh, no.

Oh, yes. We've waited for ages.

Yes. Our picnic is ruined.

My radish dip will
have to go uneaten.

Now it will spoil and lose its bouquet.
Now it will spoil and lose its bouquet.

-Gobo.-[sniffles]

What about our
advisory expectation?

Does this mean we can't go?

Not if I have anything
to say about it.

Come on, Wembley.

Okay.

Not if he has anything
to say about it.

Come on. Let's go. Come on.

[Gorgs laughing]

You can't catch me.

[laughter continues]

Sheesh!

[slow music playing]

Oh, cootchie,
cootchie coo. [laughs]

Pa, you say the sweetest things.

[clattering]

Junior, stop
making all that noise.

Can't you see it
destroys the mood.

Now, Pa, he's only a boy.

Junior! Junior!

What?

Would you please
make a little less noise?

[chuckles] You knowthat
this is Kissing Rock,

where your father and I first...

Uh... Uh... Well, you'll
understand when you're older.

[both giggling]

Oh, Ma.

[giggling continues]

[Pa Gorg] Oh, mushy, mushy.

[clattering]

Junior!

Oops. Sorry. [laughs]

[gasps] What's this?

"Boredom juice"?

"Want to get rid
of garden pests?

Bore them stiff
with boredom juice."

Hey, Pa, Ma.

Look. Look what I found.

Aw, Junior. Find
it somewhere else.

It's called boredom juice.

And here's a little cardwith
all the ingredients and the...

"antidote."

Hey, Ma. What's an antidote?

Um... An antidote
is a cure, Junior.

As in, if you don't buzz off,

you're gonna need an
antidotefor a thick ear.

[stammers] But...
Now give me that.

[grunts]

Now, then, where was I?

Cootchie, cootchie coo.

Oh.

[both giggling]

[sighs]

Well, at least I can keep
this antid... The anti...

The cure.

[chuckles] I'll put
it in a safe place.

Like my shoe.

Fraggle!

[shouts]

-Oh, no.-[Pa Gorg] Oh, Junior.

Those disgusting Fraggleshave
infested our Kissing Rock.

[wailing] It's too much to bear.

Now, don't worry,
my little kumquat.

Before the sun sets on this day,

there will not be one
Fraggle leftin our rock.

I'll spray them with
this boredom juice.

What?

Yes. Verily, I'll put some of
thatboredom juice in my spray can and...

[hissing]

The Fraggles
will get bored stiff.

-Huh?-Painless, but effective.

But you can't do that.

He can't do that.

Do it.

I'll go get that spray can right now.
I'll go get that spray can right now.

-No. I won't let you.-Huh?

-[exclaims]-Uh-oh.

-Fraggle!-[screams]

Fraggles, Fraggles,
Fraggles! [shrieks]

-Oh.-Oh, dear.

It's worse out there than usual.

[stutters] Yeah. That boredom
juice really sounds awful.

-[sighs]-Yeah. And those
Gorgs sound serious.

-What are we gonna do?-Oh,
come on. They can't bore us.

-Fraggles are never
bored.-That's true.

-There's so much interesting
stuff around.-Where? Where?

Yeah. Yeah, that's true, Gobo.

Why, we couldn't be
boredeven if we tried.

-[laughs]-[groans]

-I don't know.-I don't know.

Oh, come on. Let's try.

-But how?-What do we do?

What we need is the challengeof
something really boring.

-Yes.-Well, okay.

I know.

What about a postcard
from Uncle Matt?

-Oh.-Yeah.

Hey, get out of there.

If this doesn't bore
us, nothing will.

[clears throat]

"Dear Nephew Gobo..."

[Matt] The other day,

I was in a large cavesimply
filled with beautiful treasures.

Oops. Oops.

I was observinga
particularly interesting bauble,

when suddenly I was
sprayedwith a foul-smelling liquid.

[shouts, sneezes]

From the smell, I knewthis
stuff had to be lethal.

[coughing]

But the silly creatureseemed
pleasant enough.

And hello to you, too.

Perhaps she was only
tryingto make friends.

Ha! Top of the
morning to you, sir.

Yes.

Funny how easy it isto think
someone wants to hurt you

when they're only
making friends.

They love me.

"Love, your Uncle
Travelling Matt."

-[laughing]-Wow.

That was great.

I hate to admit it, but
not even that bored me.

-No.-It was great.

Yeah, but we haven't been
sprayedwith boredom juice yet.

[all groaning]

[gasps] Wait. Wait.

-What?-What?

I think we should just go
out thereand talk to them.

-[gasping]-What?

I think that big brown
hairy onekind of likes us.

[groaning]

-Mokey.-What? What?

-Gorgs do not like Fraggles.-No.

We've gotta get out there and stop them.
We've gotta get out there and stop them.

-Hmm.-[stammers]

Gobo, could I have
a word with you,

uh, over here, in... in private?

Um...

[softly] I'd really love to help you,
but I think I hear my kettle boiling.

-Okay?-Okay, Boober.

Look, you go tell
everyone you see

to stay as far away from
this tunnelas possible.

That is my kind of job.

[laughs]

-What are you gonna
do, Gobo?-Yeah.

I don't know. I'm gonna go out
thereand see what's going on.

-Oh.-If I need you
guys, I'll go, "Help."

-"Help."
-Okay.

-Okay.-Wow.

He's really brave.

Yeah.

Or else really dumb.

Oh...

Okay, Junior,

this here spray canis
filled with boredom juice.

Now, you give Kissing Rock
a blastevery few minutes

until you're sureall the
Fraggles are bored stiff.

But, Dad, I just can't do that.

Well, why not?

It's real easy.

Here, watch.

-See, Junior?-No.

Nothing to it.

[sniffing]

Hey. Mm... Mm,
what's that smell?

-I don't know.-[breathes deeply]

It smells kind of...

[gagging]

[whistling]

Boring.

Easy as pie.

-But...-[Ma Gorg] Oh, Pa...
[laughs]

Coming, my little
hu-hu-hu-huckleberry.

[Ma Gorg] I'm hiding.

[Pa Gorg] I'll find you...

[all] Boring.

Oh, no.

[stutters]

Help.

If it worked for
that rabid ocelot,

it ought to workfor
that big black hairy rat

it ought to workfor
that big black hairy rat

living behind this wall.

And if we catch it, Sprocket,
we'll have to get rid of it.

-[whines]-Yeah, sure,
because if we catch one,

that means there could be more.

Probably have to fumigate.

[gasps, whines]

Of course we would.

We can't harbor a
health hazard, you know?

[whining]

Well, come on, Sprocket,
let's go for a walk.

Nothing's gonna come outif
we just stand there watching.

-[barking]-What?

You'd rather stay? Well, okay.

But don't scare that rat away.

And if we catch it, give a bark.

I'll be over at Ned's.

See you later, Sprockie.

[whimpers]

[grunts]

[panting]

Mokey? Red?

Uh, Wembley, come on.

Snap out of it.

[all] Boring.

[sighs] [sighs]

That Gorg's gonna get us allif
we don't do something to stop him.

[gasps]

Wembley, time for our
adventurous expedition.

Boring.

Red, tug-a-tails
in the Great Hall!

Boring.

[groans]

Help!

Boring.

Oh, it's no use.

[sighs]

[groans] What am I gonna do?

Wait a minute. I've got an idea.

Must do my duty.

But I can't do my duty.

But Pa says I have to.

But I can't.

I just can't. [sobs]

I know. [chuckles]

I'll get rid of
this stuff. Yeah.

Then they won't be able to
getmy Fraggles. Yeah. [laughs]

Then they won't be able to
getmy Fraggles. Yeah. [laughs]

There we go.

[laughs]

[gasps]

There he is.

[laughs]

That takes care of that.

[Gobo] And there's the cure.

Well, now all I've got to
dois ask him for his shoe.

Hmm. Easy.

No... No problem.

Hey, Fraggle. [laughs]

-Ooh.-No, no. Come back.

You'll never get me, Gorg.

No, no, Fraggle. Come
back. I need to talk to you.

It'll take more than boredom
juiceto get rid of Fraggles.

[sniffing]

Hey, what's that smell?

[sniffing] Hmm.

[gagging]

[whistling]

Oh, no. Fraggle.

Boring.

Fraggle.

Oh, no, no, no.

[stammers]

Uh-oh. I'd better hold my nose.

But... but that's where I
dumpedthe boredom juice.

-Boring.-[gasps]

Too late.

[weeping] [weeping]

The little Fraggle
is bored stiff.

And all because of me.

Oh, what am I going to do?

Wait a minute. I know.

[chuckles] There's
only one thing to do.

I'll un-bore him. [laughs]

What would Pa say?

Boring.

Oh. I cannot let this
Fragglebe bored stiff.

What Pa doesn't
know won't hurt me.

[chuckles]

Now for the cure.

Uh... Where did I put that cure?

Oh. [laughs]

In my shoe.

Now to cure that
poor little Fraggle.

"Sing the following song..."

Ooh.

"while doing the
following dance,

while wearing a
bowl on your head."

That makes sense.

Bowl. I need a bowl.

Where...

Bowl. [laughs]

Sorry, radishes. I need that.

It says here...

Oh, no.

[stutters] What should I do?

Why don't you teach
me that song and dance

so I could go in thereand
un-bore my friends.

Yeah. Yeah, that would...

No.

No, even if you did that, my
daddy would just try something else.

He and Mommywanna

But if they did, I'd have

Okay, you got it?

Side kick. Side
together. Side kick.

-Yeah. Yeah, I got it.-Oh, good.

You mean, there are truly

No. No.

-[sigh of relief]-[sighs
sadly] Not one.

Oh, good.

No.

[sighs deeply] Not good.

-Huh?-For I fear I'm dying of...

[sighs] boredom.

[gasps] Junior, what's wrong?

Did those nasty Fragglesdo
something horrible to you?

The Fraggles are gone.

There is nothing left for
me to doexcept... perish.

Perish?

Goodbye, cruel world.

-[gasps] Oh.-[crying]

-[Pa Gorg] My son.-Not bad.

[Pa Gorg] Oh, Ma.

If only I could see a Fraggle.

Just one.

That's my cue.

When he sees me,
he'll stop being bored,

and the Gorgs'll never
wanna get ridof Fraggles again.

Oh, but, radish chop,

-I was only trying
to help.-[cheering]

I never thought a Fraggle and
a Gorgcould help each other,

but we did it.

-[cheering]-Yeah.

Tell me something.

Just for my own information.

-Why did you save
us, anyway?-Yeah.

Well, because if I didn't save you,
there wouldn't be any Fraggles around.

Oh!

See? I told you he liked us.

-Yeah.-Yeah.

And if there weren't any Fraggles
around, who would I have to thump?

-Right.-Yeah.

-[laughing

[screaming]

Boy, Gobo. This was
suresome arduous expediation.

Yeah, Wembley.

Well, it sure beats boredom.

-[Junior laughing]-[screaming]

Aw!

So, Sprocket, did
we catch anything?

-[whines]-Heavens.

That rat was big enoughto
spring the trap and get away.

Well...

I'll just make a few
adjustments here.

Yes, sir.

[whines]

I'll set this very
finely, Sprocket.

Oh...

There. That will get
that miserable rat.

Now, Sprockie, I'm just on
my way down to Elmer's shop.

We're almost out of milk.
Do you wanna come along?

Okay, suit yourself. I'll
see you in a little while.

Oh, I forgot my hat.

[whining]

Sprocket, did we get something?

Sprocket...

what are you doing?

[whines]

You mean, you're the onewho
was springing my traps?
