Dance your cares away

Worry's for another
day Let the music play

Down at Fraggle Rock

Work your cares away

Dancing's for another
day Let the Fraggles play

We're Gobo, Mokey,
Wembley, Boober, Red!

A Fraggle!

Hey, look, Ma.I
caught a Fraggle!

Dance your cares away

Worry's for another
day Let the music play

Down at Fraggle Rock

Down at Fraggle Rock
Down at Fraggle Rock

Down at Fraggle Rock.

Hey, Sprockie, let's see if
anything new has happened.

By golly, Sprockie, the
Fraggle took the doughnut too.

Well, so far he's taken dog
biscuits, crackers and a pizza.

We know he's in there.
We can't lure him out.

Well, if food won't get
him, I'll try something else,

'cause I really want to
seethat Fraggle again.

We haven't much time. The
movers come in a couple of hours.

Please, Sprockie. We've
been over it all a hundred times.

We've got to close up the
workshopand go to the desert with Ned.

Well, now, I mean, if Ned
stays in this damp climate,

his health is gonna be in big
trouble, so he has to move.

And we want to be with Ned, right?
And we want to be with Ned, right?

I know, Sprocket. The hard
part is leaving the Fraggle.

But at leastyou've
gotten to know him a little.

I only saw him once.

Well, our plane doesn't
leavetill this evening,

so there's still a
chancewe might see him.

I'll leave this note.

Gobo! Gobo! Gobo,
look what I just found.

What is it?

I don't know.
Maybe it's a pillow.

Kind of goes with
our new wall hanging.

-Good find, Wembley.-Thanks.

So, how's our patient today?

I'm feeling better.

Well, you know how it is,
Fraggle flu only lasts a week.

My fur doesn't
even itch anymore.

Gobo!

Look what I just found.

Well, what is it, Red?

I was walking past the
entranceto Outer Space,

I was walking past the
entranceto Outer Space,

where we've beenfinding
all this neat stuff,

and I found this.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

"Dear Fraggle,

My dog and I were very
excitedto meet you the other day."

-What's a dog?-Search me.

-Well... "Please
come visit again.

We should get to know each other

and explore each
other's worlds!"

Wow! He's an explorer too.

-Yeah!-Wow.

"But you must hurry.

We are moving awayand
must leave tonight."

"Best wishes... Doc."

What's a doc?

Your turn to search me.

Don't you remember?

Just before I got the flu,

I went into Outer Space,
and I met the Silly Creature.

-Yeah.-Yes!

And now he's sent me a letter.

He wants to see me.

Maybe... Maybe... maybe I
could explore Outer Space!

-Wow.-Yeah.

Any sign of the
Fraggle yet, Sprocket?

Well... here are
the airplane tickets.

Do you want to see
your airplane ticket?

Well, Sprocket,
to be truthful...

you don't actually have one.

Because you...
you're going baggage.

Now, Sprocket, don't take
it badly. Don't take it badly.

Listen, all dogs travel
as baggageon airplanes.

No, they don't allow
dogs up in the cabin.

Sprocket, Sprocket, I know,
it's terrible. I agree it's terrible.

Look, calm down,
Sprocket. I know it's terrible.

Going to the desertmay
be a really nice place to live,

but leaving here is terrible.

And leaving the
Fraggle is worse.

But life... is like
that sometimes, boy.

Well... when I moved
here to the seashore...

Ned moved too.

Well, he came to help mewith
the marine biology business.

Well, it didn't work out,

but now it's my
turn to help Ned.

You know, I wish...

we could see that
Fragglejust one more time.

Here I am.

I'd have come
sooner, but I got sick.

Sprocket, don't scare him away.

Hello, I am Doc.

That is, my name is Jerome
Crystal, but all my friends call me Doc.

Doc, my name's Gobo.

Gobo Fraggle, I've seen your
postcards. This is amazing.

You think it's amazing?
I'm talking to a Silly Creature.

You think it's amazing?
I'm talking to a Silly Creature.

Silly Creature?

Well, see that's what
we call all of you.

But don't take it badly.
Fraggles really like silliness.

Don't apologize. I think
it's a very good name for us.

Quite right, Sprocket.

Gobo, this is my dog, Sprocket.

Sprocket. Okay... I've always
wanted to know your name.

You see, well, you
probably don't know it,

but Sprocket and I have
beenexploring together.

-No!-Yeah.

Exploring is what I do.

Really? You should explore our
world. I'd love to show it to you.

Wow.

No kidding? I'd love to see it.

Listen, this may sound like a crazy
idea, but would you like to come with us?

-Where?-Far away.

To a place called the desert.

Gosh.

Even my Uncle Matthas
never been to a place called...

the desert.

It's always warm and sunny,
and you could explore forever.

It's always warm and sunny,
and you could explore forever.

-That sounds great.-Wonderful.

Hamilton Van and Storage.
We're here to pick up your stuff.

The movers. I hope
you're ready to leave?

Leave?

But to where?

I told you, to the desert.

We're moving there, and
you said you'd come with us.

Yeah, but moving away?

Fraggle Rock. My friends.

Please come with
us. We'll be friends.

Here to get your furniture.
Hamilton Van and Storage.

This is a rare event.
There's so much for us to do.

I know. But my
home, it's in there.

Think of the adventures,
the things we can learn.

Anybody in there? I got a
moving vandouble-parked out...

Please come with us.

I can't.

Wait. At least say goodbye.

Goodbye, Gobo.

Goodbye!

See you at our new home.

Take care of our things.

Drive carefully.

Well, that went smoothly.

Listen, Sprocket, I know you're upsetat
me because I scared the Fraggle away.

But give me a
break. I'm upset too.

I just got carried away.

I wanted to be friends.

I suppose he...

he won't come back now.

Ain't it just the way it goes?

We pull the petals off the rose

We never say hello to stay
We always say goodbye

We always say goodbye

And ain't it just
the way it seems?

We pull the petals
off our dreams

Our hearts can say
we're here to stay

But we always say goodbye

We always say goodbye

Weep for the day

When a new friend comes your way

Weep while you play

For your friend
will make you cry

Weep for the night

When he journeys out of sight

Friends always tell you goodbye
Friends always tell you goodbye

Friends always tell you goodbye

-Hey, Gobo!-Hey!

How'd you like to playa
game of pot hockey?

-Wait! Come back
here.-It's gonna be great!

Red taught me all
the golden rules.

And she's even gonna
let mebe on her team.

-Yeah!-Just a minute.

-Not with that pot. That's my
omelet pan.-No, you can't have it.

-Boober!-You'll
spoil the patina!

-Boober! Come
on.-You can't have it.

-No, no.-Give it to me!

I don't feel much like playing.

Just let the opportunity of a
lifetimeslip through my fingers.

I think I need some wisdom.

-Give it back!-Boober!

I think you need something.

Why are you so depressed?
Why are you so depressed?

Well, I was in Outer Space,
and I met a Silly Creature.

And we started to make friends.

What are you saying? You
and a Silly Creature are friends?

Well, it seemed likewe
were gonna be. Yeah.

That is truly cosmic.

-What does "cosmic"
mean?-Snazzy.

Wow. No kidding.

I don't get it, Marjory.

What's the big deal about a Fragglemaking
friends with a Silly Creature?

It's wonderful.

Silly Creatures need
to knowabout the magic.

What magic?

Your magic.

Are we magic?

Everyone is magic.

The Silly Creatures are just
sometimestoo silly to remember that.

But this Silly Creature
is moving away.

He wanted me to come with him.

Wait a minute. You are
moving into Outer Space?

No.

Well, that is, I'd love to. Sort of.
Well, that is, I'd love to. Sort of.

But Fraggle Rock is home.

And now I'll never
see Doc again.

What is all this "moving
away" business anyway?

How ridiculous.

You go to him,
and you say this...

"You cannot leave the magic."

That's the message?

Exactly.

"You cannot leave the magic."

The Trash Heap has spoken.



I guess it's timeto
leave for the airport.

You know what?

I'm glad I saw him, even
if it was only for a little bit.

I don't know why, but seeing
a Fraggle was important.

I don't know why, but seeing
a Fraggle was important.

Well, makes me wonderabout
the mysteries of life.

And I owe it all to you, 'causeif
you hadn't known him all these years,

I wouldn't have even
knownto look for him.

Listen, about this
airline business...

I'm not letting you
travel as baggage.

Gobo sure has been
gone a long time.

Yeah. You know, I don't thinkl've
ever seen him so depressed.

-Hi, folks!-Gobo, you're back!

-Can't talk now.-What
did the Trash Heap say?

She told me I had to talk tothe
Silly Creature before it's too late.

Don't do it, he might
breathe on you.

I've gotta catch him
before he leaves.

I've got an important
message for him.

What's that, Gobo?

I have to tell himthat he
cannot leave the magic.

-What does that
mean?-What's the magic?

We are.

-We are?-I gotta hurry.

But I never thought
of us as magic.

- I thought they were magic.-Yeah.
- I thought they were magic.-Yeah.

Magic.

-Wait, I wanna go too!-Me too!

Me too!

Well, that's it. We've
done all we could.

Everything's locked
up and secure.

And Ms. Ardath has promisedto
take care of the old place for us.

Well, say goodbye, Sprockie.

Attaboy.

Gotta stop him. Gotta
stop him. Gotta stop him.

I've gotta stop the Silly Creature.
He cannot leave the magic.

You cannot leave the...

I'm too late.

Excuse me, ma'am. Could I
haveanother cup of coffee, please?

And my grandfather herewould
like some more cookies.

And my grandfather herewould
like some more cookies.

You're welcome.

Gobo! Gobo, did it go all right?

Did you tell him
he can't leave us?

I was too late. He's gone.

Are you sure?

-Come see for yourself.-Us? Us?

Go into Outer Space?

Might as well. No
one in there now.

But...

This is really, really strange.

What's that?

Looks like the Silly
Creatureleft us a gift.

What kind of gift?

I feel like an absolute fool.

I know it's a good idea,
Sprocket, I just feel like an idiot.

Okay, okay. Okay, okay.

Hello, this is Doc
and his dog, Sprocket.

Hello?

If you're not the Fraggle, you
don'thave to listen to the rest of this.

You know who's gonna find
this, Sprocket? Ms. Ardath.

She'll think I've gone mad.

Right, right, right.

Anyway, if you are the Fraggle,
Gobo Fraggle, this is for you.

It is a tape recording.

I know you might
not understand that.

It's a way of saving my voiceso
you can hear me after I've gone.

I... Sprocket and I
want to say goodbye.

We're going to the desert
for a... well, for a long time.

We have to, to help a
friend... Ned Shimmelfinney.

That's nice.

I'm sorry if I scared
you away earlier.

I wanted you to come with
usbecause I wanted to be friends,

but I suppose you have
to bein Fraggle Rock,

just as we have to be with Ned.

It's time to go now, so...

goodbye.

And if you're Ms. Ardath,
pay no attention to all this.

Oh, Doc.

You weren't supposed
to leave the magic.

Well, let's hope
this is the right key.

Oh, yes.

And where's that light switch?

Electricity may not be on yet.

Well... here it is, Sprockie.

Our new home.

You've never livedon
the second floor before.

Ned is just downstairs.

And he says in the daytimethe
mountains look beautiful.

You know, this is pretty good.

There's a lot more
roomthan the old place.

And more light. And more light.

And when we get the junk
moved in, it'll be just like home.

Well, yeah. Well, I know.

Except for the Fraggle.

Sprockie...

do you remember the first daywe
moved into the old workshop?

There was a box
sitting against the wall,

just like that one.

And when I lifted that
boxto throw it away...

there was the Fraggle hole.

All right, I'll move the box.

But it's silly.

Well...

what can we expect?

So now...

I don't think I'll feel likecoming
up here much anymore.

Well, thanks for coming
with meanyway, guys.

-Yeah.-Yeah.

I'm glad I wasn't alonewhen
I found that message.

Gobo, we'd never
leave you alone.

Maybe the Silly Creature
has left, but we never would.

Yeah. We couldn't leave you.

Wait a minute.

-Wembley just said you
couldn't leave me.-What?

What was it that Trash Heap saidl
should say to the Silly Creature?

That he mustn't leave.-No.
Not mustn't, cannot.

That he mustn't leave.-No.
Not mustn't, cannot.

Yes! That you cannot
leave the magic.

-And then she said
we were magic.-Yes.

He can't leave us,
and we can't leave him.

Maybe I'm not
too late after all.

Hey, I never saw
that tunnel before.

Magic Magic be with you
each morning Each evening too

For the magic...

Do you think this
tunnel is magic, Gobo?

I'm beginning to
thinkeverything's magic...

if you see it that way.

Treasure the moments
you're given Feel how they flow

For the magic Lives in
the moments you're living

See how they glow
See how they glow Magic

Magic be with you each
morning Each evening too

For the magic Magic is in
every moment Even in you

Someday, treasure the...

You know, Sprocket...

meeting that Fragglemade
me feel different.

If little furry creaturescan
live behind the walls...

why...

that's magical.

And then anything is possible.

Think of it.

Maybe you're magic.

Maybe I'm magic.
Maybe I'm magic.

Maybe Ned and
Fluffinella are magic.

Maybe the whole world...
And then, Sprocket...

if we wanted there to be a Fraggle
holebehind that cardboard box...

well...

who knows?

Magic...

-Hi.-Hi.

I have a message for
you... from the Trash Heap.

The Trash Heap?

She's our oracle,
knower of all our wisdom.

She's our oracle,
knower of all our wisdom.

She said I should tell you...

"You cannot leave the magic."

Thank you, Gobo.

As a matter of fact, Sprocket
and I just discovered that.

Yes!

Hey, Sprocket.

Magic Magic be with
you each morning

Each evening too For the
magic Magic is in every moment

Magic is you We
cannot leave the magic.
