01x05 - Four Wembleys and a Birthday

[bunniefuu]

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.

Junior!

Hello!

My radish.

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.

Dear Nephew Gobo,
I am thriving in Outer Space.

I'm all right. I'm all right.

And in the Fraggle tradition,

I recently decided
to celebrate my birthday.

You see, ma'am, Fraggles get to choose
when we celebrate our birthdays,

and I choose today.

Yes, I'm excited too.

The smell of good food
and the sound of good music.

And the Silly Creatures acted quickly
to celebrate my birthday.

For me? Oh, you shouldn't have.

They even had a party hat for me.

Hey! That's my tortilla!

And festive hors d'oeuvres.

Oh, boy.

H-Hot. Hot! Hot, hot, hot. Hot. Hot.

I never felt so alive,
and the music soothed my soul.

Everywhere I looked, there were treasures.

But I kept my signature cool.

Cake!

The cake was delicious,
but I decided to leave early.

No. Hey, wait. It's my birthday party!

All in all, it was a wonderful birthday.

Love, your Uncle Travelling Matt.

"PS I've sent back
my favorite party favor."

Looks like some kind of confetti.

Maybe I'll have
my next birthday party in Outer Space.

A little thing about me?

I love birthday parties!

I think I'll have mine today.

Red, I swear this is not
an aggressive question,

but didn't we just celebrate
your birthday?

-Did we?
-Yeah.

Yeah!
There's still zazzle-berry cake left over!

I had five slices!

-Thanks, Pogey.
-Okay, that's fair.

-Yeah.
-I can wait.

How about now?

I remember my last birthday.

I had a blast.

I'm having a blast.

Yeah. Us too.

Yeah.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Well, let's search our noodles.
Who hasn't had a birthday in a while?

-Well.
-Let's see.

Fragga-kazam! The Great Wembleton!

-Hi, Wembley.
-Hey, Wembley.

I've been working on
my foggy-fruit appearing act.

Still having trouble with
the disappearing though.

Wembley,
we were just talking about birthdays.

Yeah.

Why, I can't remember
the last time I had my birthday.

Yes! Wembley, look inside yourself.

Don't you feel older?

Well, I think I feel...

kinda...

hungry?

Maybe I'll get some zazzle-berry cake.

-Yeah.
-No, sorry. I ated it all.

Pogey.

Wembley, you have to let us celebrate you.

-You're a great Fraggle.
-Yeah.

Well, okay.

I guess it's my birthday.

Hooray.

All right. So, what do you wanna do?

What... What do I wanna do?

Yeah.

-I have to choose the activity we do?
-Well, yeah.

So, if it's a fun day or not a fun day,
i-it's all on my shoulders?

Yeah.

I...

Come on, come on, come on.

I see what he means
about the disappearing part.

-Yeah. He's gotta work on that.
-Yeah.

Every day, eight million pieces of plastic
make their way into the ocean.

If those pieces looked
anything like this bottle,

then removing them would be
as easy as... scoop.

But in the real world, plastic breaks down
into tiny little pieces of plastic.

We don't want this in our water!

Our oceans are in trouble
if we can't find a way to get it out!

Because this...

is unscoopable.

We need to find a bacteria
that can consume microplastics.

I posted that video a week ago,
and still not a single view.

You think the view counter is broken?

What am I doing wrong? This is important.

Am I not interesting enough?

Well, let's see what's popular.
What's trending.

-...smash that like button.
-Okay.

-Like and subscribe.
-A lot of noise.

A lot of effects.

A lot of...

-Whatever that is.
-Like and subscribe.

I guess I gotta up my game.

Don't forget. Like and subscribe.

The Internet is not going to know
what hit it!

Sorry, folks, we've got
some kind of vine blocking the track.

We're gonna have to stay here
until it's cleared.

Man. I better tell my boss
I'm gonna be late for work.

Hey, boss? I'm gonna be late for work.

Unacceptable!

Not to worry, folks.
We've got our best Doozers on the job.

All Doozers reporting for duty!

We've got a track to fix.

Dream a dream and make it true
That's what Doozers like to do

And building is the Doozer way to go

Two, three, four!

'Cause every day
The world is new

There's dreams to pay attention to

And building is the surest way we know
Two, three, four!

Set your shoulder
Move that boulder

Up, two, three, four
Up, two, three, four

Make our dreams work
Through our teamwork

Up, two, three, four
Up!

There's mamma.

And when the Doozer day is done

There's still some time for Doozer fun

So take your helmets off
And set them down

Two, three, four!

There's dreams to dream
There's work to do

But after all the work is through

There's still some Doozer dreams
To go around

Two, three, four!

Set your shoulders
Move that boulder

Up, two, three, four
Up, two, three, four

Make our dreams work
Through our teamwork

Up, two, three, four
Up!

Now, let's go clear that track.

Turbo, brief me.

Well, Cotterpin, you see,

these strange vines have been
popping up everywhere

since all the new water arrived.

Clear it from the track. Big job!
Think we're up for it, Wrench?

What, do you think
we're a bunch of Fraggles?

Chomp, chomp, chomp. Play, play, play.

"I'm a Fraggle."

-Good one! Good one.
-Hilarious.

I don't wanna decide
what to do for my birthday.

Maybe they all forgot about it.

Hey, birthday Fraggle.
What do you wanna do today?

-I... Well, I...
-Well, no need to wemble.

How about I sing you
the birthday song I wrote for ya?

-Well, I guess...
-You're gonna love it! Just gotta warm up.

Hey, Wembley!

How about we do a guided meditation
for your birthday?

I... Well, I... I guess it could be fun.

Great! Let me just summon
my inner merriment-making muse.

Hey, Wemble-butt, how do you feel about
a birthday spinning contest?

Probably a little nauseous.

Great!
Last one to the pond is a rotten radish.

Wembley. Wembley!

-I have such a fun birthday idea.
-Yeah?

We monitor this slippery moss patch
and make sure nobody falls.

I don't r...

I know.

No words for how awesome it is.

-I'm gonna go get my cones.
-Wait, but... but I...

I don't think I wanna do
any of those things.

But... as long as my friends are happy,

well, maybe that's enough.

Are you talking to me?

No, Mr. Grizzard.
I was just talking to myself.

-Okay. Well, happy birthday, I guess.
-Yeah.

-Time to get your spin on, Wembley!
-Okay.

Coming!

Isn't this so much fun?

Yeah!

Be right back!

it's your birthday song
If you know the words then sing along

Such a well-thought-out song, Gobo.

-Thanks.
-Hey, Wembley!

Anyway, I'll just be right back.

Slow down. Cave hazard.
Caution. Cave hazard.

-Yeah, watch out!
-Yeah. Thanks.

-Slow down. Cave hazard.
-Wembley!

Boober, I'll be right back.

Now, think of the most relaxing sound
you can imagine.

I'll be right back!

-Danger.
-Right. Where were we?

-Wembley, over here!
-I'll be back.

-Hey, Wembley!
-Wembley!

-Wembley!
-On my way!

-Wembley!
-Wembley.

-Wembley!
-Coming.

-Wembley!
-Coming! Coming!

-Wembley, where are you?
-Wembley.

Wembley! Wembley!

Thanks for the song, Gobo.

Thanks for the song, Gobo!

Enjoying my birthday, Red?

Red?

Where's Wembley?

I-I'm right here, Boober.

Mokey? Mokey?

You! You're me.

But you're me.

We're all me!

We got split into four,
and now no one can hear or see us.

I don't have anything to add,
but I'm also very concerned!

Microplastic waterfall!

Dance break!

Science. Science. Science!
Like and subscribe.

Subscribe for more videos.
They're w-w-w-wacky!

What do you think, Sprockie?

Well, yeah,
the science is overshadowed a little,

but it's worth it if it gets views, right?

Well, what do you know about videos?

I saw you watching a steam train
for two hours yesterday.

I'm uploading it.

The vine is still in the way,
but they're working on it.

So just pull the vine down,
but don't tug too hard, okay?

Wha... Okay, tug hard?
Yeah, no problem, Cotterpin.

No, I said don't tug it...

Great Doozer on a Snoozer!
Look at all this goo!

What a mess, Cotterpin.

It's not that bad.

Okay. It is bad.

No Internet? No!

Well, Sprocket, I guess I'm not getting
any views on anything now.

Daddy, can I try on your armor?

That's the royal armor, son.

You can wear it when radishes fly!

It's a good idea, right?

-The Trash Heap will know what to do.
-Definitely!

And I'm so glad we grabbed
these radishes along the way.

I was starving!

Yeah.
And Pogey ate all the zazzle-berry cake.

Pa! The... The... The radishes are flying!

I get to wear your armor like you said!

Marjory, you really know
how to work that spaghetti.

I'm gonna look so good in that sweater.

Yeah. You should start
a whole food clothing line.

Like, yeah, pizza shorts,
rigatoni hats. Yeah.

How is Marjory supposed
to help us if she can't even see us?

Oh, I can see everything, little Fraggle.

I'm the Trash Heap.

Marjory, a-are you talking to
those floating, half-eaten radishes?

Quiet, boys. I've got work to do.

So, what is this?
What am I seeing here?

Well, you see...

-What he means is...
...What happened was...

-No, sorry, go ahead.
-Like he was saying...

All right, all right. That's enough
of this particular shenanigan.

Now, one of you go.

Well, okay. My friends all picked
activities for my birthday,

and, well, I-I-I wanted them to be happy,

so I-I didn't say anything
and tried to do them all at once

and, well, poof!

It sounds like instead of speaking up,
you quieted down.

And now you're all discombobulated.

But I like making my pals happy.

And that makes you a great friend.

But my little Fraggle, you have to look
inside and figure out what you want.

You must go
to the Cave of Recombobulation.

The Cave of Recombobulation?

I like it when you speak in unison.
Kinda like a little barbershop quartet.

Now, the cave's entrance is behind me.

You go inside and say...

"Sploopy blate, this cave is great.
Let us recombobulate."

And then you run and crash back together.

-Well, we can say words.
-And crash into stuff.

Thanks, Marjory.

I've got a lot of questions, Marjory,

but I guess mostly is
who in the world are you talking to?

Patience, patience.
All will be revealed.

Now,
what do we think about meatball buttons?

-Yeah.
-A little extra sauce for me, please.

-What do they call it? High food couture.
-Yeah.

Are we sure we're in the right cave?

-Maybe there's another one.
-Yeah.

Oh, no.

There's even more of us now!

Wait.

It's just a reflection.

Beautiful.

Okay, well,
I-I'm gonna miss all of you.

-All of me?
-All of us?

I think it's all of I.

Okay, let's do this.

Sploopy blate, this cave is great.
Let us recombobulate.

It's happening! It's happening!

Well, that didn't work.

We just swooshed through each other.

How did we get back to the Great Hall?

What are we doing over here?

I know what Wembley wants
He would love to sing a song

Gosh, that's not really what I want
I don't know what I want

He wants to meditate
Take a breath, say Namaste

That doesn't seem like
What I want at all

I'm sure I know him best
He just wants to spin and spin

-And spin and spin and spin and spin
-That doesn't seem like what I want

It's like no one can hear me.

Or make a siren sound
He could make it long and loud!

Stop!

That's not what I want

That's not what I want to do
No, that's not what I want

No, no, no, no

It's not up to you to choose

So, stop!

That's not what I want

-Don't wanna sing
-No

-Don't wanna spin
-No spin

-Don't wanna meditate
-No meditate

-Are you listening?
-No, no, no, no

'Cause that's not what I want to do

-No, no
-No, stop!

That's not what I want

That's not what I want!

That's not what I want

No!

Guys? What's going on?

W-We're back
in the Cave of Recombob... Guys?

Oh, my Wembley.

It's just me.

Everything that just happened was
a vision.

The cave worked!

Another me!

It's just a reflection.

All good.

I did it, Madam Heap! I'm me again.

I'm gonna go tell my friends
what I wanna do for my birthday.

-That's great, little Fraggle.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Hey, where did he come from?

-Excuse me.
-Yeah.

Don't worry about it, boys.

Now, how are your matching
spaghetti sweaters fitting, huh?

Stylish and delicious.

-You really outdone yourself, Marjory.
-Yeah.

Junior Gorg, protector of the Gorg castle.

A Fraggle enemy.

Come back. Come back.

I'm gonna get him. I'm gonna get him.

I didn't get him.

All right. I've reset this thing,
shook it, yelled at it. Nothing.

With no Internet,
I'm not uploading any of my experiments.

It's so frustrating!

I just wanna save the oceans!

Me too!

Wait, really? Well, I-I'm getting my PhD,

and I made a couple of videos
if you wanna follow me.

Cool. I'll check them out.

-Hello, I need to get to work.
-Excuse me, is this gonna get going soon?

We've gotta get this goo cleaned up
and fix the track.

Any ideas?

Let's see.
Well, this stuff is super sticky.

Yeah. I-I got an idea.

Let's hear it.

Moss beards!

Cool, right?

Okay, that is an idea, not a helpful one.

But the goo is sticky.

So it makes me wonder...

Track's fixed,
and we even fixed that cable.

Just as I suspected.
That sticky goo is actually pretty useful.

Hey, all right!

I think the three of us
all did equally well today.

Oh, boy.

We're stuck!

Oh, boy.

-Let's get unstuck. You go left.
-And I'll go left.

The Internet's back.

Okay, quick. I've gotta upload
my fun video before my neighbor...

Hey, I'm watching your video now!

No, no. Not that one!
I have a fun one coming!

Wow. I had no idea
microplastics were such a problem.

Thank you!

Well, hey, how about that?

I guess the Internet was sending
a sign that there's only one me.

I've gotta stay true to myself.

Thanks, neighbor!

I'm gonna send this to my mom.

Hey, Ma!

It's not like Wembley to just ditch us.

Maybe he didn't like my spinning party.

Spinning party?

I was doing a guided meditation party.

I was doing a safety watch party.

And it was pretty wild.

And I was singing for him.

We were all doing different things.

That must have been really hard
on a wembler like Wembley.

-Yeah.
-It was.

Wow, Wembley,
is that one of your magic tricks?

No. I'm just a very quiet sitter.

So, where were you?

Well, I split into four Wembleys...

and we were invisible,
and you couldn't hear us,

and we were all the same, but different.

Okay, sure.

Let's just say I had to go
to the Cave of Recombobulation.

Of course. Yeah.

-I get it.
-Yeah, the Cave of Re... combob...

-I don't get it. No.
-Me neither.

-I don't know.
-No. No.

Never mind. Because now I know
what I wanna do for my birthday.

I... I wanna just be here with you,
my friends.

And, well, I'm sorry
if that's boring or disappointing,

but, well, i-it's what I wanna do.

Hooray!

Wembley,
that's a perfect way to spend a birthday.

And a safe one.

I'm so happy you finally spoke up
for yourself, Wembley.

Yeah.

We can have a spinning celebration
when I have my next birthday,

later today.

Just joking!

-Happy birthday, Wembley!
-Happy birthday, Wembley.

-Yeah, happy birthday, buddy.
-Happy birthday.
