[page turning]

[Sprocket panting]

[whining]

[barking]

No, Sprocket, I do not
want to play fling and fetch.

-[whining]-Oh, these gift
catalogs are for nitwits.

[barking]

It's Ms. Ardath's 39th
birthday tomorrow,

and I've gotta figure
outwhat to give her.

Oh, no, it wouldn't doto buy
just some gizmo from a catalog.

Not for Ms. Ardath,

because, you know, I
really, really care about her.

I want my gift to express

-my... my genuinely warm
feelings...-[mimicking violin]

Very funny, Sprocket.

No, wait a minute. You're right.

Music, poetry,

-painting.-[barking]

Don't you see?

Those are the thingswith
which we express our feelings.

Those are the thingswith
which we express our feelings.

-That's what I'll give
Ms. Ardath.-[growls]

A work of art made
with my own hands.

A statue for the front lawn.

And you, you can be my model.

-I mean, all you have to
do is stay still.-[barking]

[Sprocket groans]

-[Wembley
humming]-[Boober chuckling]

Another perfect dayin
Fraggle Rock. [chuckles]

Ah. I can't think of anything
to addto improve it. [chuckles]

[sighs] I wouldn't be so
sureabout that, Wembley.

What do you mean?

I don't know, I just
have this nagging feeling

that something importantis
missing from my life.

Such as?

I haven't got a clue.

All I know is I'll probably
spendmy whole life searching for it.

Wait a minute.

You're gonna spend your
whole lifesearching for something,

and you don't even
know what it is?

-No.-Wow, what a concept!

Oh, don't humor me, Wembley.
I know you think it's weird.

Oh, no way. Nothing wrong with
searchingfor something that's missing,

Oh, no way. Nothing wrong with
searchingfor something that's missing,

even if we don't know what...

Wait a second. I
know what's missing.

You do?

Yeah, the sound of falling
waterfrom Roaring Ravine.

-Come on.-Uh...

[water trickling]

Hey, look, the waterfall's
down to a trickle.

-Oh, must be this
heat wave.-Yeah.

[gasps] Look.

-[gasps]-Wow!
Smoothies. [chuckles]

-And rollies.-Yeah.

Wow. I've never seen
so many beautifullittle

pebbles in all
my life. [chuckles]

All that rushing
watermust've hidden them.

Yeah, and made
them incredibly smooth.

-Feel this.-Oh.

-[chuckles]-Ooh, that's a honey.

Yeah. Well, they're all honeys.
Let's collect 'em and take 'em back.

Smoothies and rollies are the
neatestthings you can give to a friend.

We're gonna have
enough for everybody.

-Yahoo! [chuckles]-[chuckles]

[exclaiming]

[gasps]

Do you see what I see?

[both gasp]

A perfect blue rollie.
A perfect blue rollie.

This is the rarest
pebble in the universe.

[gasps] Rare? It's legendary.

Yeah. [gasps]

You know, they say that you
could searchyour whole life

-for the perfect
blue rollie...-Whoa.

- and never even
find one?-[chuckles]

-And I have one right
here. [chuckles]-[sighs]

Uh, what are you
gonna do with it?

I don't know. The...
The legend says

the perfect blue rollieis the
greatest gift you can give.

-Imagine.-Huh.

-Boober?-Yes.

-Boober?-What?

-You know what?-What?

-I want you to have
this. [laughs]-Ah!

-[stuttering] Oh, but,
Wembley...-Yeah.

- this is the rarest
pebble there is.-Yeah.

-I don't think you can
just... Yes, yes, yes.

-[stammering]-It's
the greatest gift,

and you're one of my
greatest pals, Boober.

-There you go.-Ah!

Oh.

I don't know what to say.

Well... [chuckling]

-Uh...-Oh.

You don't have to say anything.

Uh... Giving that to
youmakes me feel really good.

When you give it
to somebody else,

you'll see what I
mean. [chuckles]

Now, uh...

Come on, let's get
theseback to the Great Hall

and hand them
out to our buddies.

Uh, well, Wembley, I thinkl'll
just sit here for a while, okay?

Okay.

[sighs]

Oh.

[sighs]

The rarest pebble
in the universe.

And this one's for
youto match your shirt.

-Incredible. Thank
you.-[chuckles]

Oh, these must be the
most beautifulsmoothies

and rollies in the whole world.

They are.

[all cheering]

[clears throat]

-Boober!-Oh, hi, Wemb.

Boober, Boober. [chuckles]

Hey, everybody. Wait till you
seewhat Boober's got to give away.

-[chuckles]-Oh, what is it, huh?

Uh, not quite surewhat
you're talking about, Wembley.

-[chuckles nervously]-Boober?

Show everybody the
perfect blue rollie.[laughs]

-Perfect blue rollie?-Yes, yes!

You've got a
perfect blue rollie?

I've never seen
one in my whole life.

-Nobody has.-Well... [stammers]

It's, uh...

-It's not here. [chuckles]-Oh.

Well, where is it?

Uh...

It's... It's in storage.

[chuckles] Storage.

Uh, what do you mean,
"storage," Boober?

Well, I mean it's
in a safe, dry place.

[chuckles nervously]

Uh, you see, Wembley,

it was such a wonderful gift,
it was such a wonderful gift,

I didn't want anything
to happen to it.

Boober, the perfect blue
rollie, the legendary pebble.

Oh, can we see it?

-Yeah, show it to
us.-Yeah, show it.

[stammering] Well, I...
I can't... can't do that.

How come? [chuckles]

Well, uh, because...

Uh... [gulps] Uh...

It's in my, uh...

It's in... It's in my...
my hidey-hole.

[all] Your what?

My hidey-hole.

-What's that?-[sighs]

Well... [gulps] Uh...

It's a secret place.

I've never taken anyone there.

Oh, well, now's the timeand
hidey-hole's the place.

-Yeah.-We gotta
see that blue rollie.

-Yeah, yeah.-Which way is it?

Uh, it's over that way.

-[all clamoring]-The
perfect blue rollie?

No, wait a minute.

Nobody's ever seen onein
the history of the Rock.

[Boober] I don't
thinkthis is a good idea.

You don't understand.

My hidey-hole
is a private place.

Nobody else has ever been here.

[Gobo] Oh, no wonder, everyone
knows this is a dead-end tunnel.

[Gobo] Oh, no wonder, everyone
knows this is a dead-end tunnel.

-[Red] Yeah.-Well, it used
to be a dead-end tunnel.

-[Red] What?-[Gobo]
What do you mean by that?

-[Red] Yeah.-Well...
[grunts]

I... I dug a private cave.

-[Wembley] What!-[Red] Dug?

[Gobo] You dug a cave?

-Down here.-But, why, Boober?

We've got so many
caves around here,

-we don't know what
to do with them.-Yeah.

Well, I needed a... private one

for my stuff.

What stuff?

Well, you're here, I
may as well show you.

But no wisecracks,
okay, Wembley?

-Okay.-Okay.

[sighs]

[Boober grunts]

[all gasping]

-[Mokey] Oh,
look!-[Wembley gasps]

-You dug this all
by yourself?-Oh.

-Uh-huh.-When?

-[Wembley chuckles]-Oh,
over the years.

[Red] Bizarre.

Yeah, and you didn't
eventell us about it.

Well...

I... I didn't think you'd
understandabout my stuff.

Well, what is all this "stuff"?

-Hmm.-[chuckles]

Uh, well, these...
these here are, uh...

- odd socks.-[laughs]
- odd socks.-[laughs]

And, uh, oh, that over there,
that's a bucket of buttons.

-Oh.-I put them on sticks.

-Keeps them organized.-Yeah.

Oh, look. This... Now this,
this here is a giant ball of string.

[laughs nervously] You see, uh, I
guesseverybody saves string, don't they?

-Oh, look out.
That...-Oh, oh, oh.

That, Wembley, believe
it or not, is laundry lint.

-Laundry lint?
[sneezes]-Laundry lint.

Yeah. You see, I just... I just
collect itright out of your pockets

when I'm doing a wash,

and it all ends up right
in... in this room here.

[laughs]

-Hmm.-Hmm.

I see.

[clicks tongue]

Okay, okay.

Uh, uh, end of tour.

-Uh...-Thanks a
lot for dropping by.

Look, everybody.

-Oh, boy!-Ooh!

Oh, yeah.

[Wembley] There it is.

I never thought I'd
seethe perfect blue rollie.

-Uh-uh.-Yeah,
isn't it something?

It was just sitting there on
the groundwhen I spotted it.

And... And gave it to
me.[chuckles nervously]

-Yeah.-I was overwhelmed.

Isn't it a honey?
Isn't it a honey?

[all] A honey.

Boober, we gotta take
this backto the Great Hall.

-Yeah, everyone's
gotta see it.-Not... Not...

today.

-Hmm?-Why not?

Because I just got it!

-So?-[chuckles]

-Boober, this is the
perfect blue rollie.-Yeah.

-You gotta share it with
your friends.-[all] Right.

Well, uh... uh...

You can drop by and... and
see the little fella anytime you like.

I'll be right here in the old
hidey-holetaking good care of him.

-But... Now, okay,
run along, everybody.

-Oh, oh...-Boober.

Boober, don't you know there's a
legendabout the perfect blue rollie?

Yes, Mokey, I know all
about the legend.[chuckles]

The perfect blue rollie is...

-is the greatest gift you
can give.-That's right.

And Wembley gave it
to me. Right, Wembley?

-You've got it all
wrong.-You're supposed to...

[Gobo] You're
supposed to pass it on.

[Boober]I don't care
about the legend, okay?

This is the rarest pebble in
the universe, and it is mine!

-All mine!-[gasping]

Oh.

[churning]

It's plaster of Paris, Sprocket.
It's plaster of Paris, Sprocket.

Artists use it to
make body casts.

Oh, I'm gonna make Ms. Ardatha
work of art she'll treasure forever.

A statue of you
for her front lawn.

-[barks]-Oh, no, don't worry.

I mean, it'll wash out of your
furwith a nice, soapy bath.

-[yelping]-Oh,
Sprocket, come on.

It won't hurt.

Believe me, it's easy.

Look, Sprocket,

I'll play fling and fetch with
youfor an hour if you'll help me.

[yelping]

-Oh.-[whining]

Sprocket, look, let me
show you how easy it is.

First...

you sit in the cabinet,

posed in the sitting
position like this.

Then you close
the cabinet doors...

and secure themwith
the latch on the outside.

Then you just pour
the plaster of Paris.

Simple.

Sprocket?

Sprocket.

What are you doing, boy?

-Sprocket!-[doors rattling]

Stop this nonsense at once.

Open the latch and
let me out of here.

Sprocket!

Sprocket, this is not funny.

Oh, Sprocket...

[spluttering] Sprocket...

Stop it.

[Sprocket groans]

There.

A perfect settingfor
a perfect blue rollie.

[exhales]

At last, real happiness.

Gosh, if I just lookway down
into those layers of color,

I can see a little
teensy-weensyreflection of myself.

Hi in there, Boober.

How's it going, little guy?
How's it going, little guy?

[laughs]

[screams] Oh, oh,
you startled me.

Mm-hmm.

I was just giving my
rolliea finish coat of wax.

-Ah.-See?

Well, uh, listen, Boober, the
Great Hall's full of Fraggles

-who wanna look at
this thing.-Full of them.

-And my Uncle Matt had
a great idea.-Great idea.

Well, since finding
a perfect blue rollie

-is such a one-in-a-million
thing...-One-in-a-million.

He says we should turn
itinto a big celebration.

Yes! You bring it
to the Great Hall,

we'll have a big
banquet, a big dance,

-and everybody will
get a look at it.-Yeah.

Sorry, that is out
of the question.

But... But why?

-Security problems.-Oh!

I can't take my rollieinto
that kind of mob scene,

anything could happen.

Boober, it's just a
pebble, for crying out loud!

-Yes.-Maybe to you.

Boober, aren't your
friendsmore important than...

Wembley, this is the
rarest pebblein the universe.

-Yeah.-Do you understand me?

This is more important
than anything.

-Oh.-Yeah? Yeah?

Well, if you ask me, I thinkyou got
things all twisted around, Boober.

Well, if you ask me, I thinkyou got
things all twisted around, Boober.

-Twisted!-I have never
been happier in my life!

-Hmm.-Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have got some buffing to do.

But, Boober, this thing...
Never mind, Wembley.

I think Boober wants to
be alonewith his pebble.

[scoffs]

-Pebble!
[scoffs]-[exhales, hisses]

-[Fraggles
clamoring]-It's bizarre.

But he's completely
missing the point.

The perfect blue
rollie is like laughter.

You can't just store it awayon
some dusty, old shelf like that.

I'm reminded of
an experience I had

with a perfect white
rolliein Outer Space.

You saw rollies in Outer Space?

-Yes, indeed.-[gasps] Oh.

I remember the occasionas
if it was yesterday.

Memory lane.

[Matt] I watched a silly
creatureplay a very odd game

with a perfect white rollie.

The silly creatureused
a strange-looking club

to hit the white pebble
into a large pond.

It was astonishing.

[gasps]

His aim was absolutely perfect.

Well, almost perfect.

-[golfer groans]-Then
I saw a way

to help the silly creatureput
his rollies back into the water,

from whence they had come.

Oh.

In that way, others
could find and enjoy them.

[laughs]

Hmm. There you go.

[laughs]

[screaming]

[grunting] Oh, please, please.

[screaming]

The silly creature
was terribly grateful.

In return, he helped me
findsome white rollies of my own.

Yes, yes, yes.
Wasn't that wonderful?

[Mokey] Wonderful.

[chuckles] Ah.

I wish Boober
could've heard that.

Oh, he can't hear anythingin
that silly homemade cave of his.

He's gonna lose
touchwith all his friends.

We can't let that happen.
We've got to get him out of there.

- Yes.-Wait a minute. I've got an idea.
- Yes.-Wait a minute. I've got an idea.

-[gasps]-Oh, Wembley!

Come here.

[Wembley] Are you surethis
disguise is gonna work?

[Mokey] You're invisible.

[Wembley] But this
cave cotton makes me...

Hold your nose, Wembley.

[Wembley sniffs]

Couldn't somebody
else do this, please?

-Please?-Oh, I'm sorry, buddy,

but you're the only onesmall
enough to pass for a ball of lint.

-Oh.-Yeah. And you
look fabulous. [chuckles]

Yeah. Now, you know
what you're doing.

Yeah, yeah, I get inside,

and then I start to
minglewith Boober's lint.

Right. And then you sneak
outwith the perfect blue rollie.

-Oh!-And you bring it to us,

and we'll be getting
ready for the party.

Oh, do you really thinkthis
plan is going to work?

-Sure.-Are you kidding?

When Boober sees how much
fun it isto share the blue rollie,

why, he won't even
want to keep itfor himself.

-Mm-mm.-Mm-mm.

-Uh-uh.-Wembley?

[whimpering]

[sniffing]

-Good luck.-[whimpers]

Shh!

Oh. Oh.

[Boober snoring]

[Wembley grunting]

[whispering] Oh, good.

[suppressing sneeze]

Oh.

-[sneezes]-[Boober screaming]

All right, who is
it? Who is that?

Oh, oh, oh, it's your
friend Wembley.

Aha, Wembley.

Mm-hmm.

And what might
you be doing in here?

Oh, I'm disguised
as a ball of lint.

-Yes, of course,
a ball of lint.-Oh.

Marvelous, Wembley,
really superb.

Boober, Boober, I can
explain everything, Boober.

Uh-huh. Well, let me guess.

Uh, you were going to take
backthe perfect blue rollie...

Well...

Yeah, just so you could
seehow other Fraggles enjoyed it.

Yeah, just so you could
seehow other Fraggles enjoyed it.

Mm-hmm. Well, Wembley,
I have news for you.

-Uh?-I don't need friends

who creep into my
hidey-holedressed as lint.

-[sneezes]-[screams]

[rock clattering]

Oh! Look what you've done now.

-Oh, my goodness.-Oh, no!

-Boober, I'm
sorry.-Sorry? You're sorry?

You have just made
melose my perfect blue rollie.

Oh, I think maybeit rolled
down this crack in the wall.

-Wembley, get
out of the way.-Oh.

[both grunting]

Oh, I can't reach it.

This is perfect,
Wembley. Just fabulous.

-Oh, Boober, I'm sorry.-Oh.

We're your friends, we were
just doing this for your own good.

Wembley, move.

-Ow! Ooh.-Sorry.

[Boober grunting]

[Wembley] What are you doing?

[straining] I'm levering it.

Hey, I think maybe there
are someloose rocks up there.

Haven't you caused
enough troublefor one day?

Now, just go, Wembley.

But I'm only trying
to be your friend.

Friends like you, I don't
need. Now, just go, Wembley.

-Okay.-[straining continues]

[sighs, grunts]

[sighs]

-[rumbling sounds]-What?

Oh.

Whoa! [screams]

Oh, no.

Cave-in! [screaming]

-[rocks rumbling]-[Boober
straining]

Wembley?

Wembley?

[groaning]

[panting] Oh.

Here I am, entombed
in my hidey-hole

-with all my
stuff.-[rocks clattering]

Ooh!

Oh, perfect.

[sighs]

[grunting] Come on, there isn't much time.
[grunting] Come on, there isn't much time.

There's gonna be another
cave-in thereany minute.

[all straining]

[groaning]

Oh, it's funnyhow
things get suddenly clear.

-[loud rumbling]-[whimpers]

[groans, whimpers]

If I'd shared you with my friends,
none of this would've happened.

-[rumbling continues]-[yells]

Now I'm gonna
get what I deserved.

[whimpers]

[Gobo] She's gonna
go any minute.

-Don't stop now, we're almost
there.-[Mokey] I can see him.

Boober, reach out your hand.

[Wembley] Boober?

Mokey?

[grunting] They must...

[all grunting]

[Boober screams]

-You saved me, I don't
believe it.-[coughing]

Oh, I thought I was done for.

Oh, you were. Oh, you were.

You can thank Wembley
herefor getting you out in time.

-Oh. [chuckles]-Oh,
little guy...

-Ah.-I'm so lucky to
have you as a friend.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

If I had that perfect
blue rollieright now...

-[rocks rumbling]-Whoa.

-What?-Whoa.

[gasps]

Unbelievable.

[both] Oh, no.

[sighs]

Here, I want you to have this.

Oh.

Wow.

-Uh...-[chuckles]

I want all of us to have it.

-Here.-Oh, yeah.

-For me?-Yeah.

-Oh, thank you.-[chuckles]

[all laughing]

Oh, boy, I'll tell
you one thing.

I have had it with stuff.

-Oh.-Uh-huh.

You... You meanyou're not
even gonna save laundry lint?

[clicks tongue]

Well, let's not
get carried away.

[all laughing]

Oh, Boober.

[Gobo] Boober, you're the limit.
[Gobo] Boober, you're the limit.

[all laughing]

[Gobo] Oh, let's take it
backand share it with everyone.

[grunts]

Not bad, if I do say so myself.

-[barking]-Wait.

-There.-Ooh!

That's better.

-Hmm.-I think I'll call it...

-"Dog's Best Friend."
-Mm.

Nice work, fella. I never
would've thought of posing myself.

I can't think of a better
giftfor Ms. Ardath.

She can put it on the
lawnright outside her window

while she lifts weights.

You think she's gonna like it?

Mm-hmm.

[mimicking violin]

Give me that stick.

You're going to fetch
ittill your paws ache.
