Sprockie, how can you sleepthrough a day like today?

Why, the seabirds are wheelingin the heavens,

the bees are buzzing,

and the breeze is waftingin the perfume of the flowers,

on gentle wings.

It's as idyllic as...

as...

Stop it! Stop it, I say!

Look at them.

Sleeping their lives away,

and on such a beautiful day too.

Well, this gives me a chanceto make some keen observations

on the Silly Creatureand the Hairy Monster.

On the Silly Creatureand the Hairy Monster.

Yes, not much interesting here.

Yes. Now, this looks more promising.

There she is, Cotterpin Doozer.

-A little to the left, Red.-Okay, but hurry.

I've gotta go to my aerobics class.

I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying,

but I gotta get this bridge surveyed.

She speaks to Fragglesas if they were friends.

Don't you ever get sickof this construction business?

Heck no!

The Architect let me designthis bridge myself.

-Take a step forward.-Okay.

Yep, it's gonna bea triple-span cantilever

with foreshortened buttresses.

-Right there, plant it.-Great.

She's revealing our construction plansto a Fraggle.

Wait until you see this bridge, Red. It is gonna be fantastic.

Yep, it's gonna be the Cotterpin styleof Doozer construction.

Yep, it's gonna be the Cotterpin styleof Doozer construction.

There goes the Fraggle horn.

That means there's a meetingin the Great Hall. Gotta go, Cotterpin.

-Bye.-Bye, and thanks.

The Cotterpin style.

She doesn't even deserveto be Apprentice Architect. I do.

But now I got her on a clear violation.

Everybody, quickly gather around, please.

I have a very important announcementto make.

I was just downat the Blue Cavern over there

and I saw a Poison Cackler's nest...

with an egg in it.

Oh, no!

-Yes, it had an egg in it.-What are we gonna do?

-What can we do?-Wait. Everyone, wait.

Look, I have an idea.

Poison Cackler eggs only takea few days to hatch,

and then the babies leave the nestand move on quickly, right?

-Yeah.-This is no time for a nature lesson.

We've got a panic on our hands.

But listen!

Look, I just got back from mappingthe Lesser Galleries.

Look, I just got back from mappingthe Lesser Galleries.

They're really cozy little caves, and only a short hike from here.

Why don't we all go there fora couple of days till the Cacklers leave?

It'll be like a vacation.

Come on, everybody, pack. Let's get ready.

-Great idea.-What a neat idea!

Red, I love vacations!

-What am I gonna pack?-I don't know...

It's times like this when it really feelsgood to have friends.

Yeah... Do we have friends?

Feenie, we have each other.

Oh, yeah!

What's your name again?

Okay, the surveying is complete,

and tomorrow morning begins constructionon my very first bridge.

Oh, boy, I can't wait. This is so exciting.

-Hey, watch it.-Are you Cotterpin Doozer?

Come on, be serious, Tumbrel. Of course I'm Cotterpin.

We play on the same Snooball team.

-Silence!-What?

I hereby arrest youin the name of all Doozerdom.

Arrested? What for?

Everybody ready to leavefor the camping trip?

Yeah!

Every day the world begins again Sunny skies or rain

Come and follow me

Every sunrise shows me more and more

So much to explore

Come and follow me

We gotta flee the Poison Cackler, old buddy.

I'll flee with you, Large Melvin.

Marvin, Large Marvin.

Yeah, that's right.

I must flee the dreaded Large Marvin.

No, no, no. You must flee the dreaded Poison Cackler

with your friend Large Marvin. With your friend Large Marvin.

This is getting complicated.

Trust me.

Are you sure this is right?

Trust me, I know I'm right.

Hear ye! Hear ye!

The one and only court of the Doozersis now in session.

All shout, "Huzzah, huzzah."

Huzzah! Huzzah!

A trial at last.

I'm in the mood for a conviction.

Thank you.

You may call the first case.

Doozerdom versus Cotterpin.

But I’m being framed.

-I'm innocent, I tell you!-Silence!

How can you be innocentwhen you're on trial?

Exactly.

You know how Doozer justice works.

Come let us blazon the flame of the law Law, law, law

Raising our praise in the name of the law Raising our praise in the name of the law

Law, law Law

When a trial beginsThere's a song that we sing

-Right a wrong-Right a wrong -Sing along-Sing along

And we find no one mindslf they're sentenced and fined

-Right a wrong-Right a wrong -Sing along-Sing along

We find that... If there's a bad guy

He won't be a sad guyHe sings with the judge

And he gives her a nudgeAs she sums up his case

And they often embrace with this refrain

Sing that law again

This is crazy. I got a bridge to build.

Not if I can prove you're guilty.

Which is certainly likely.

When the sentence is passedThere's a heck of a blast

-Right a wrong-Right a wrong

-Sing along-Sing the song -Sing along-Sing the song

And the prisoner remainsAnd we sing it again

-Right a wrong-Right a wrong -Sing along-Moving on

You know that the courtroom's jumpingThe gavels are thumping

The jury keeps hoppingThe judges come bopping

It's time to relentWhen the prisoner repents

And he cries, "I was wrongBut I won't be for long

Gonna stand up for justicel know that I must"

It's a time for ablutionAnd due restitution

The law made me grieve itAnd now I believe it

Sing that law Again

Law

Time to read the charges.

-Your Honor?-Yes.

I am Tumbrel of the prosecution.-Oh, brother.

I am Tumbrel of the prosecution.-Oh, brother.

I have personally witnessed this Doozermaking friends with Fraggles.

What a terrible charge.

Time for the verdict.

Guilty.

Time for the sentencing.

Cotterpin Doozer,

I sentence you to a lifetimeof not being Architect's Apprentice.

You may never build anything ever again.

But, Your Honor, why must I suffer like this?

And besides, what's wrongwith making friends with Fraggles?

It says in our rule book thatDoozers may only befriend creatures

that are noble and intelligent.

Well, who said Fragglesaren't noble and intelligent?

The rule book.

So, change the rule book.

We can't do that.

Article three, section 12,

"If you can prove a rule is dumb, it can be changed."

We can do that? We can do that?

This rule is not dumb.

Fraggles are large, stupid, silly creatures.

I happen to know some Fraggleswho are noble and intelligent.

Very well.

You have until suppertimeto return to this court

with noble, intelligent Fraggles.

Suppertime? But suppertime is almost here now.

Your Honor, please!

She'll never do it.

She's through as Architect's Apprentice.

Yeah.

I can't believe that Tumbrel, trying to get away with this.

Yeah, he's always wantedto be Architect's Apprentice.

Well, they're not gonna get meon some out-of-date rule about Fraggles,

no way, uh-uh.

I'll just go and find Red, or Gobo, or Wembley.

Any one of them will do.

Boy...

Come on, you guys.

Where are all you noble, intelligent Fraggles?

I only got till suppertime.

Excuse me, ma'am. You looking for Fraggles?

Yeah, 'cause we're the only Fraggles left.

That's us!

Well, follow me, then.

-Follow her.-Follow her.

Feenie!

Come here.

Walk this way.

Coming, little gal.

Coming, little gal.

This may be a little tougherthan I thought.

-Your Honor?-Yes?

It's suppertime.

Cotterpin is nowhere to be seen. She has failed.

Your watch is fast. It's only a quarter to suppertime.

She still has a few more minutes.

Intelligence and nobility?

Oh, boy, I sure hope these guys can deliver.

Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Cotterpin.

-Well, I'm Large Marvin.-Uh-huh.

And this is Feenie.

Well, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Why is this Gorg talking to us?

Feenie, this is not a Gorg.

-How can you be sure?-Well, look.

Hey! What are you...

-Watch it!-Gorgs are giant, hairy, smelly brutes.

-Hey, what?-Oh, yeah.

You see, this is small.

-Watch it!-See? And not very hairy.

-Hey, would you... And...

hardly stinky at all.

Put me down, cracker-breath!

Please.

-Sorry.-It's okay.

I've come to ask for your help.

You have?

Yes.

They're gonna take awaymy life's work and...

Well, only you two can help me.

I've never been needed before. I've never been needed before.

-Yeah. We'll do whatever you want.-Yeah.

Good. I want you to be noble and...

intelligent.

We can handle that. Me and Feenie are pretty noble.

Yeah, but I'm not smart enoughto be intelligent.

Well, no problem. Class in session.

Miss Cotterpin, could I ride your trike?

Not now, Marvin.

Now, listen, in just a few minutes,

the judge of the Doozers is gonna ask youabout your finest attributes.

-Abra-toots?-Yeah.

I don't even have any abra-toots.

I had some once, but I loaned them to a guy.

Let me put it another way.

What's the best thingthat you can say about Fraggles?

I got it! I got it!

We ain't spiders.

That's the best thing you guyscan say about yourselves?

Miss Cotterpin, we'll say anything you want us to say.

Miss Cotterpin, we'll say anything you want us to say.

Okay, say something like...

"Madam Judge,

Fraggles are clean in mind and body,

pure in heart, thoughtful, industrious,

and most of all, dependable."

I gotta say that?

-You can do it, Feenie. Come on.-Sure, yeah.

Go on! Go on! Go on.

Madam Judge, Fraggles are purely dust, cleaned-out minds,

full of all sorts of thoughtsof stupendous bodies.

Oh, no.

It's suppertime.

-Cotterpin has failed.-It's not quite suppertime.

But we could start setting the table.

Now, remember, you guys,

when we get there, noble and intelligent, okay?

Miss Cotterpin, you got real pretty hair.

-Thanks, Marvin, thanks.-And I like your little boots.

Hey, Marvin, does this egg remind youof something we forgot?

Nah, I guess not. Nah.

Right over here, you guys.

Oh, rats!

-Anything wrong, Miss Cotterpin?-Yeah.

Yeah, you guys are too bigto fit through the tunnel to Doozer Dome.

I'm gonna have to bring the judgeout here. Wait for me, will you?

Well...

that's a pretty big opening.

Feenie, I bet youwe could fit through there.

No. We better do what Miss Cotterpin says. She's counting on us.

Come on!

I know a trick for gettingthrough tight places.

You go through backwards.

Backwards? Okay.

Cotterpin Doozer,

do you actually mean you have foundnoble and intelligent Fraggles?

Well... Oh, yes. You bet you.

Noble and intelligent enoughto be a Doozer's friend, yep.

They better be, our supper's getting cold back there.

They better be, our supper's getting cold back there.

Is that one of your Fraggles?

No. I mean, well...

Yes... Actually, yes.

Very noble.

Yes, indeed.

Feenie.

Feenie, maybe you could be right.

I think I might be stuck.

Yeah, I think you're too fat.

Yeah, suppose so.

Give me a cracker.

Oh, no, you don't, Large Moron.

Marvin. Large Marvin.

Please give me a cracker!

Please, I'm begging you.

-Please give me a cracker!-No, no, no.

Okay, one.

I really don't know what to suggest.

Bailiff, do something to getthis Fraggle out of our way.

Bailiff, do something to getthis Fraggle out of our way.

Yes'm. This should do it, Your Honor. This should move him.

Cootchie, cootchie, cootchie coo.

I feel real bad about this.

Now you're stuck in the doorway,

we ain't gonna be ableto help little Cotterpin.

What's funny about that?

I think Cotterpin was real niceand I wanted to help.

I'm serious, Marvin.

She tried to teach me all kinds of stuff.

Nobody done that for me before.

Besides, she's kind of cute, and I think she likes me.

Say, how would you like a sockin your chin?

All three of 'em.

Tickle, tickle, tickle.

This is not working.

Bailiff, stop that tickling.

This is ridiculous.

Let's go out thereso you can talk to the Fraggles.

We can't go out there, that Fraggle's blocking the way.

You've lost your chance, young Doozer. You've lost your chance, young Doozer.

Wait, no! We could go the back way.

Not the back way.

It's dark and yucky down there.

-Slooshy.-Yes.

And spiders and beings.

It wasn't nice of you to laughjust 'cause I said Cotterpin liked me.

-Well, that's not why I was laughing.-No?

Besides, I think she likes memore than she likes you.

-You do?-Yeah.

Come on, it's this way. Just follow me.

That was yucky. I saw a spider down there.

This is a waste of time.

Cotterpin, this better be worth it.

There are those awful Fraggles.

There are those noble, intelligent Fraggles.

Large Marvin and Feenie.

Swear in the witnesses.

Large Marvin and Feenie,

do you swear to tell the Doozer truth, the whole Doozer truth,

and nothing but the Doozer truth,

so help you, Doozerdom.

I, Doozer.

No. I mean, I do, sir.

What he said.

Yes.

I will now question you carefullyto see if you are noble and intelligent.

You first, Feenie.

Cotterpin, what should I say?

Tell her that under the circumstances,

you'd be pleased to discuss any topic.

Yeah. Madam Judge,

in the circus, we're pleased to be standing in...

Yeah, we'd be disgustedby the topic of underpants.

Oh, no!

That does it.

Fraggles are neither noblenor intelligent.

Cotterpin Doozer, you may never build again.

Victory is mine.

We failed Cotterpin.

Yeah.

The Poison Cackler!

Hey, it just hatched.

-Let's get out of here!-It's awful.

I knew we forgot to remember something.

And...

What are we gonna do?

Hey, sitting there scratching won't help. We better run!

I'm running. Believe me, I'm running.

Oh, no, it's got Cotterpin!

Feenie! Yuck!

-Feenie, help! Save me!-I'm coming, Cotterpin.

Careful, Feenie. A baby Cackler is tough.

You got me.

Marvin! Marvin, you can do it.

Help! Save us.

I'm working on it.

Miss Cotterpin, I'll do it for you. Miss Cotterpin, I'll do it for you.

What happened?

Marvin.

Help!

Where am I?

The Cackler loves your food, Large Marvin.

Yeah. Yeah, he does. Feenie's right.

Maybe he'll go awayif you give him your food.

-What?-What an intelligent plan.

Oh, no!

You mean give him my food?

Yeah, yeah. Give him your food.

-Give him all my food?-All your food.

Marvin, please!

-Hurry, hurry.-Hurry, Marvin!

Well, for you, Cotterpin, I'll do it.

What a noble sacrifice!

Oh, rats!

There you go, fella.

Careful. Be careful.

Come on, Cotterpin. Come on.

Careful. Watch his tail. Careful. Watch his tail.

Hey.

Yay! Bravo! Bravo!

Marvin, Feenie, you saved me.

You saved us all.

This court finds that Cotterpin Doozeris innocent.

-But Fraggles are... Fraggles are noble and intelligent.

They are worthy to be friends to Doozers.

Driver, drive on.

-They're still ugly.-I don't believe it!

Did you hear what she said?

That I'm not guilty.

Then I can still beArchitect's Apprentice.

I can build again.

Thanks, guys. Thanks.

You mean it's a happy ending?

But we never got to discuss underpants.

Yes, the Hairy Monster is certainlya noble and intelligent creature.

I'm just not quite certain why he keepsthe Silly Creature as his pet.

Well, I must tell Gobo.

What was that?

Sprocket, it's a perfect day to be alive.

The seabirds are wheelingthrough the heavens,

the bees are buzzing.

It is as idyllic as...

as...
