Down at Fraggle Rock.

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,

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.

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.
