Down at Fraggle Rock.

You know, Sprocket,
when Cousin Ethel said,

"Doc, why don't you
inventsomething useful?" [scoffs]

"Like a cupboard that doublesas
a dishwasher." Well, I just laughed.

But, now, look. I've done it.

[Sprocket gasps]

Well, I've almost done
it. The wiring's a bit tricky.

You see...

Well, I guess you don't see.
Could be because the lights are out.

Sprocket, what's wrong? You
haven't even touched your supper.

-[telephone
rings]-[Sprocket exclaims]

[Sprocket exclaims]

Hello.

Oh, hello, Betty.

-It's Ms. Ardath.-Ooh.

Well, Betty, what can I
do for youon this fine day?

Sprocket?

-[barks]-You want
to speak to Sprocket?

Oh, Marigold wants
to speak to Sprocket.

I see. Sure, he's right here.

It's for you. It's Betty's
Airedale, Marigold.

[barks]

[Marigold barking]
[Marigold barking]

[barks]

[exclaiming]

Well, Sprocket, what did she...

want?

He never even touched his food.

That's not like Sprocket.

That's not like Sprocket at all.

[Red] Oh. Some shortcut this
was, Mokey. Now where do we go?

Um, I don't know.
I really don't know.

[mutters] Oh, now we're not
just late, we are really late.

Well, don't worry. They won't
start the rehearsal without us.

"Don't worry," she says.

All the Fraggles in the worldare
coming to see our puppet show,

and we're lost foreverin
some dumb tunnel.

Oh, I know, I know.

Ah! Hey, there's Tickling
Tunnel. We're almost home.

-[distant
moaning]-Good! Let's go!

-Hey!-[grunts] What?

What's that sound?

[moaning continues]

That moaning noise?
That's just the wind.-Mmm.

That moaning noise?
That's just the wind.-Mmm.

-Come on!-No, no.

It sounds like
crying or something.

-What?-Here.

Huh? [grunts]
Mokey, this is crying.

"Boo-hoo-hoo."

That is just the wind. Come on!

Uh, Red, you go
ahead. I'll be along later.

Oh, I don't believe this!

What is that sound?

[moaning continues]

It's just the strangest thing.

-[moaning intensifies]-Well,
it's getting louder. Uh... Oh.

[grunts] Oh!

-Oh.-[moaning continues]

Um, excuse me.

Uh... are you all right?

[stutters] What's wrong?
[stutters] What's wrong?

-Wrong? Wrong?-Huh. Yeah...

I'm the most pathetic
creaturein the world.

My life is miserable.

Oh... oh, dear. [stutters]

Don't you have any
friends or anything?

-Oh, no, not one.-Oh!

And I'm magic, too.

-Really? No kidding.-Look!

-Where? What?-[warbling]

[Mokey gasps]

Oh, my! Oh!

-[groans]-Oh, I'm sorry.

-I... really... No one cares.

-Oh!-Now, that's
not true. I care.

Hey, I have an idea.

We're doing a puppet
showback at the Great Hall.

Why don't you comeand
you can have a good...

No, no, no. I couldn't.

-Well, why not?-[cries]

-Everyone will hate me.-What?

Everyone always
hates me. [crying]

Now, now. Oh, oh, don't
cry. Oh, please don't cry.

-Please! I can't stand
it.-If only I had a friend.

Oh, well. Hey,
I'll be your friend.

Does that mean you'll take care of me?
Does that mean you'll take care of me?

Well, of course I'll take
care of you. Of course.

But, um, right
now I'm a little late.

-So, I'll see you later,
okay?-No, no. You just got here.

Well, uh, I'll tell you what.
You need me, you just call

and I'll come right back, okay?

-Oh, what's your
name?-[stutters] Begoony.

Hi, Begoony. I'm Mokey. Bye.

But... but I... but I...

Oh! What if I never
see her again?

She'll be just like all
the others. I know it. Oh!

No. This one's not
going to leave me.

Not if I can help it. [sniffles]

[Red] Oh! Methinks I
am the fairestin the land.

-What do
you-thinks?-[croaks, kisses]

Oh! You are a most
loyal pet rock beetle.

All right, now. Listen
to me, court jester,

I do not want you to do or say anythingthat
might embarrass me. You got it?

[as puppet] "Got it." Oh, boy.

- Hey, Red. Red?-What? What?
- Hey, Red. Red?-What? What?

What's my line? I
can't remember my line.

-Well, I don't
know.-So sorry I'm late.

Good, Mokey, you're here.
Can you give Wembley his line?

-He can't remember
it.-You can't, huh? Oh.

Uh... let's see. Your line is,
"What are you going to do?"

-Yeah, that's it.-Thanks.

Can we get going?

The show starts after lunch, and
we haven't been through it once!

You're right. I'm so sorry.

Of course, we can. Yes,
right away. Right away.

Okay. Okay. Is everybody ready?

-Oh, yeah. Go, go,
go.-[clears throat]

And now, Red and Mokey
Fraggleproudly present,

How Princess Ethel k*lled the
GiantWithout Much Help From Anyone Else.

"Hey, Mokey, how do I look?" Get
back there now. Go on. Get back!

-[Wembley] What are you
going to do?-Sorry about this.

That's okay. And now, How
PrincessEthel k*lled the Giant...

-Mokey.-[Mokey] Yeah.

Do I really have to
playthe pet rock beetle?

I mean, can't I play a
knightin shining armor?

[exclaims] Get down.

Oh, gee, I guess a knight would be
alittle less limited in scope, wouldn't it?

- Yeah, yeah.-Uh...
- Yeah, yeah.-Uh...

sure, sure, I'll rewrite
your part right away. Uh...

-[Gobo] I'm gonna play a knight...
Can we start rehearsal now?

-Sure, yeah. Go,
go, go.-Yeah, yeah.

[Red] Oh! Uh, oh! I am
the fair Princess Ethel.

And yonder is the
magic beanstalk.

[Boober] Wembley, can
you control your puppet?

-Mokey, where's the
beanstalk?-The what?

-The magic beanstalk.-Oh,
the beanstalk.

I forgot. Yes, I better
go get oneright away.

-Yeah, you do
that.-[Begoony] Oh, Mokey.

-You guys.-Huh?

Mokey?

[Begoony] Mokey.

Don't you hear
it? He's calling me.

- Who?-Oh...

behind my ears?-[laughs]

Oh, sure I will.

[Red] Mokey, Mokey.

-Mokey?-[yells]

-What's going on around
here?-[Mokey] Hi, Red!

-[Begoony] Who's this?-You took
the words right out of my mouth.

[chuckles] Uh, Begoony,
this is Red, my best friend.

-Red... But she can't
be your best friend.

I must be your best friend.

I must, I must, I must! [crying]

Oh, Begoony, please
don't cry. [stutters]

Oh, listen, you can be
my best friend, too, okay?

Wait a minute. Can I talk
to you for a minute, Mokey?

-Uh, sure. Why not?-Yeah.

Mokey, what about
the puppet show?

A puppet show? You can't do a puppet
show. You have to stay here with me!

-You have to! [crying]-Oh, I...

Mokey, it's almost showtime, and
we don't have a beanstalk. Come on!

-Oh, all right. I'm coming.-Come
on. Sorry. Come on.

Stay, Mokey, stay. Stay, or I
might do something desperate.

[Mokey] Don't worry,
Begoony. I'll be back, I promise.

[Red] Let's go. Come
on. Move, come on.

Mokey's my friend.
She said so herself.

Oh. There's got to be
a wayto make her stay.

I know.

[warbling]

Huh?

-What...-[zap]

[exhales] What the... [Red]
Mokey, come on. Hurry up.

[Matt] Dear Nephew Gobo,

The other day, I made
the mosthorrific discovery.

The young Silly
Creatures of this world

actually play with
shrunkenSilly Creatures.

Can you believe that?

They made them sing,
they made them dance.

And when they were through,
they left them lying on the cave floor.

The shrunken Silly Creatureswere
so tired from singing and dancing

that they could
not move or speak.

Oh, poor little thing.

Being a kind and
compassionate Fraggle,

I decided it was my
dutyto take care of them.

-Mmm. Cootchie, cootchie,
coo. Oh!-[door opens]

Unfortunately, the
smallSilly Creatures returned.

[children giggling]
[children giggling]

Naturally, I knewhow
to handle the situation.

Believe me, Gobo, I gave
those small Silly Creatures

a piece of my mind.

[shouts] Unhand...
Stop it, you fools.

Aah! Aah! [laughs]

"Love, your Uncle
Travelling Matt."

[as puppet] "Oh, that wasa
real clunker, eh?" [laughs]

Stop that. Shush.

You've got to understand, he
has nothing at all to do with me.

Really. I thought it
wasa terrific postcard.

[Red] Okay, okay. We're back.

Now, where were we?

Where were we? At the
beginning is where we were.

-Okay, okay.-The
beginning. Uh...

Come on. Snap out of it, Mokey.
We've gotta get going here.

Snap out of it, Mokey.

I'm just a little tired.

I don't know what...

Uh, has someone raised the
stage? It seems a little higher.

[Red] Oh, no. It's fine. Okay.

It is? Oh, all right.

-Oh! Oh!-Yes.

The beanstalk. We
don't have a beanstalk.

-Oh, right, the
beanstalk.-[Boober] Beanstalk.

I'll go get one right away.

Yes. Oh, wait, no, no. Let's
rehearse without it. It'll be okay.

Oh, okay. Yes, let's
rehearsewithout it. Um...

Oh, okay. Yes, let's
rehearsewithout it. Um...

-Uh, once again...
[Begoony] Mokey!

Mokey.

It's Begoony.

I must go.

Mokey! But the
show's about to start.

Oh, I know, but I promised.

Don't worry. I'll find a
beanstalk while I'm gone.

-[Begoony] Mokey.-Oh,
not again. [shouts]

[Begoony] Mokey.

Mokey.

Oh, what if she doesn't come?

Mokey. Mokey.

I'll never remember all of this.

Begoony, then beanstalk.
Oh, I feel so... [zap]

Oh. Oh. Funny, I don't know...

Hmm. These rocks
certainlyhave gotten farther apart.

I wonder what that means.

[Begoony] Oh!-Begoony,
Begoony, here I come.

Yes. [panting]

-Oh, you're here. You're
here.-Yes, I'm here.

- I'm so glad.-[exhales] I'm exhausted.
- I'm so glad.-[exhales] I'm exhausted.

-I want to show you
something.-Yeah, well, okay.

Fine. That's great,
Begoony, but, um...

-Begoony...-Yes.

Have you noticed
anythingdifferent about me?

-Uh, different? Different?-Hmm.

Why, you're always the
sameselfless Mokey to me.

-Now I want to show you
something.-That's nice.

Oh, really? What?

[grunts]

-[Begoony coughs]-I
don't see, uh, anything.

-Look, look, look,
look.-What? [gasps]

Oh! Oh, Begoony,
that... that is just beautiful!

-That is fantastic!-Thank you.

Oh, look at... Uh,
except that, um...

Except that, what? Ah,
don't tell meyou don't like it.

-Oh, no, no. I
love it. I love it.-Oh!

I just thought maybesome
curtains would be nice.

-Curtains?-Hmm.

What a wonderful idea!

What's your favorite color?

Um... pink and yellow stripes.

Then I'll makepink and
yellow striped curtains.

-Yes.-Oh, good, great.

Well, I'll be seeing you. Bye,
gotta go.-No, don't go, please.

Well, I'll be seeing you. Bye,
gotta go.-No, don't go, please.

But, Begoony, the puppet
showis about to begin,

and, well, I haven't
founda beanstalk yet.

-[chuckles] So,
bye.-But, but, but... Oh!

Boy, I can't wait for the
show to start. How about you?

I can't waitfor the
show to start, either.

-How about you?-Oh,
I can't wait, either.

How about you?

-[Fraggles clamoring]-[Red] Oh.

Mokey, where are you?

What are you going to do?

If Mokey doesn't show up, I
don't know what I'm gonna do.

[Mokey] Red, I'm here.

[screams] Mokey!

-What happened to
you?-What happened?

I don't know. I... I
got small somehow.

Oh, my!

Hey, I've been waiting
forever. How about you?

Oh, I've been waiting
forever, too. How about you?

Excuse me. Sorry.

-Fraggles, Fraggles.
Sorry.-[crowd] Shh.

We regret to announce that the
puppet showwill have to be postponed...

"Due to a temporary
lackof a, uh, beanstalk."

[crowd groaning] Oh, no.
[crowd groaning] Oh, no.

Hey, I don't mind waiting.
I don't mind waiting at all.

How about you?

Oh, Mokey, this is horrible.

-How did it happen?-Oh, I
don't know. I really don't know.

-Maybe it was something you
ate.-Yeah, maybe that could be it.

Uh, no. I haven't had timeto
eat today, so it couldn't be...

What are we gonna do?
What do you think it could be?

-[Begoony] Mokey.-Oh,
no. It's Begoony.

Uh, excuse me. Excuse me.

-Whoa!-Mokey,
where are you going?

-Wait a minute.-Where
are you going?

We need you two!

Oh, oh, oh. Where do
you think you're going?

Well, Begoony's calling. There's
no one else to take care of him.

How can you think of
Begoonyat a time like this?

-I...-Mokey, you are shrinking.

-Yes, I am.-What
if it doesn't stop?

Uh, I don't know.
I really don't know.

-Mokey.-Oh, it's Begoony.

Excuse me.

-[stutters]-[Gobo]
Red, come back!

[vocalizing]

Oh, I can't waitfor Mokey
to see the curtains. [laughs]

Oh, Mokey.

Mokey.

[all] We want a puppet
show. We want a puppet show.

We want a puppet show.

What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?

I'm going to find Mokey.

You keep the audience
entertainedtill I get back.

-Oh!-Me? What am I gonna do?

What am I gonna do?

Oh, Mokey.

Mokey.

What is it, Begoony?
What is it? What's wrong?

-Oh, Mokey, you're
here.-Yes. Yes, I am.

You look absolutely perfect.

Oh. [chuckles] Thank
you. Thank you very much.

I made the curtains. Why don't
you go inside and look at them?

Oh, Begoony, don't be silly.

I couldn't possibly
fitinto this little... [gasps]

house.

-[Red] Mokey!-Uh, Red.

[screams] Mokey!

Oh, please, Mokey, I need
you to look inside. Please!

Mokey, you're so small.

Don't worry, Red. This
will just take a second.

Oh, oh. Thank you, Mokey.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Oh, Begoony, it's beautiful.

It's... it's charming.
It's... it's charming.

It's... it's...

for me! [whimpers]

-[clattering]-I've solved
the major design problem,

but I think there's a
small glitchin the plumbing.

[Marigold barks]

Oh, hello, Sprocket. Do you
wantto give me a hand for a second?

[pants]

What do you mean you don't have
time? How can a dog not have time?

Well, tell Marigold to come in

and sit down and have a nice
pantwhile you help me with these suds.

Look, you don't have to
keep answeringher every bark

-if you don't want
to.-[whimpers]

[Marigold barks]

He must want to.

Begoony, let me out.
Please let me out. Begoony!

But if I let you out, I
may never see you again.

You bet your life! Get
out of the way.[grunts]

Oh! Mokey, run!

-Run!-[Begoony] Mokey, no!

-[Red] Whoa, no! Stop
it!-[Begoony groans]

[Red] Oh, no. Run!

What is happening? [gasps] This is awful.
What is happening? [gasps] This is awful.

Oh, Mokey, come back.
I didn't mean to hurt you.

[Red] Whoa! Oh, no!

-[Red grunts]
Mokey.-Let go of me.

[Red] Aah! Whoa!
I got your tail.

[all] We want a puppet
show! We want a puppet show!

What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?

"Now, listen, Boober. Let me tell
youthere's a great, big world out there

just waiting for me."

Then go.

Hey, hey, hey, you guys. I can't
find Mokey or Red anywhere.

What are you gonna do?

Wembley, will you
stop saying that?

Now, where am I
gonna go? Oh, no!

-[Begoony] No!-[Red] Stop!

She's my friend. She really
does wannabe with me. I know it.

No, you don't know anything. Ah!

Oh, dear.

Oh, this is ridiculous.

I can't keep running
away all the time.

Red! Begoony! Ah!

Ah, not a bad idea.

Hurry. Please hurry.
Hurry. Please hurry.

Oh, oh. Whoa!

-[Begoony] Let go
of my tail!-[both grunt]

[Red] No. It's Begoony.

Don't let him go.

[Begoony] Oh!

"Hey, you're not much inthe
looks department, are you?" [laughs]

Stop it!

Now. Sorry about that.

Oh! Leave me alone.

I must find Mokey.

Yes, you do that.

"And don't come back."

Come back here. Whoa!

[Red] Mokey!

-Here I am!-Mokey!

I'm right here.

Boober, we've got to find
Mokeybefore Begoony does.

Oh, come on, you guys.

I'm here.

-[Begoony] Mokey,
Mokey.-[Boober] Look at this.

Mokey, where are you?

I'm right here.

Oh, Mokey, Mokey, Mokey.

[gasps] Mokey! Watch out!

Oh, I've got you!

Oh, no, you don't. Put me down.

What?

I said put me down.
I said put me down.

You heard her. Put her down!

[all] Put her down! Put
her down! Put her down!

Oh, my goodness.

Begoony, I don't wantto
be your friend anymore.

Why, you don't
care about me at all.

Oh, please don't say that.

"You tell him, Mokey." Ha!

-[Fraggles] Yeah!-It's true.

You expect meto give
up everything for you?

For what? So I can
leave my friends

and go live in some... some
little house somewhere?

Oh, but you liked the curtains. Don't
you want to come home with me?

-No. I do not.-Oh!

-You said no to me.-Oh, Begoony.

Being friends is not
aboutsaying yes all the time.

If all I do is give
and give and give,

then before you know it, there's
nothing left for anyone to take.

Mokey, look. You're
not little anymore.

You broke the spell.
You hate me. [crying]

Oh, cut the tears, will you?

[sighs] Now, as long aswe're
all here together for a change,

[sighs] Now, as long aswe're
all here together for a change,

what do you say we forget about
shrinking, forget about little houses,

and just do our puppet show?

[all] Yeah!

[Red] Oh, no, no. We
still don't have a beanstalk.

[all] Aw.

Ah, well. We'll see about
that. Begoony, you're magic.

Grow us a beanstalk.

Oh! But I'm not so good at growing
things. I'm much better at shrinking them.

Oh, Begoony, we
need a beanstalk,

and I can't do everything.

-Yeah, come on. Go for
it.-[all] Come on! Come on!

-Okay, okay. I'll
try.-All right, yeah.

Good, good, good.

-[grunts]-[Fraggle]
He's trying. He's trying.

Whoa, look out!

Oh, see? Nothing happened.

-[Gobo] Hey, wait,
look!-[all screaming]

[Gobo] It's a massive beanstalk.

Oh, well. What do you know?

[all cheering] [all cheering]

I put in the dishes,
press a button, and...

I broke every dish I own.

[Sprocket barks]

Oh, Sprocket, you poor dog,
you're absolutely worn out.

Well, you don't
have to go, you know.

Just because
Marigoldwants to play all day

doesn't mean you have to.

-You haven't even eaten
your food.-[Marigold barks]

Oh, tell her to come
back after supper.

If she's your best friend, she won'twant
you to give in to her all the time.

[barks]

Well put, Sprocket.

Here, have this.

[Marigold barks]

Have these, too.
