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.

Sprocket, you won't believewhat just happened.

Why, I met a man who has a schemethat could make us $100,000.

Overnight!

I know, I know, it's unbelievable.

Imagine what we could dowith all that money.

Oh, no, Sprocket, I've no interest in sports cars.

I was thinking more of a world cruise.

You know, a man, his dog,

and the emerald lagoonsof the South Pacific.

Here, let me show you what he has in mind.

See, this chap isin the waste-disposal business.

And the... Yeah, these here are caves,

right below our property.

And he says this whole limestone formation

is the perfect placefor long-term storage of industrial waste.

Is the perfect placefor long-term storage of industrial waste.

These are experts. All the waste is properly treated.

They've assured me thatit's totally harmless.

Don't you give me that.

I didn't sign anything yet.

They're just trying outthe new injection procedure right now.

It's only a measly 100 gallonsof harmless industrial waste.

It won't hurt anyone.

Come on, Boober.

It's a hot day, we're all going for a swim.

Yeah!

Sorry, Red, but swimmingis not on the agenda today.

What are you gonna do instead, Boober?

Well, I thought I'd do a little anting. Well, I thought I'd do a little anting.

Anting?

Yeah, watching ants.

He'd sooner watch ants than swim?

Come on, Red.

Ants are fabulous little guys.

Look, there's one now.

No, that's moss.

Anyway, I think this particular caveis a little too damp for anting.

What's that smell?

What?

Gee, I don't smell anything. Do you, Red?

No.

Well, it's kind of a tiny odorwith a bitter sort of edge to it.

It's very weird. I'm gonna check it out.

There goes the most sensitive snifferin Fraggle Rock.

-Come on, Mokey.-What?

-Let's go get in that water!-Okay! Yeah!

There you go, my little radishes. There you go, my little radishes.

Nice fresh water from the well.

Have yourselves a party.

Oh, no, you don't.

-Junior.-Yeah, Pa?

Your mother and I are going to frolicin the creek.

Cooling the ankles cools the mind.

Well, my anklescould do with some cooling too,

I'll come along.

No, no. Not until you finish watering the garden.

Aw, Pa, I wanna frolic too.

Now, don't start with the "Aw, Pa."

That's our food you're looking after.

Now, keep at it.

Come on, duckykins.

Well, I guess somebody's gotta keepthe garden green.

Might as well be me.

Hey! Hey, what's the big idea?

You're supposed to turn green,

not wilt and turn yellow.

-Boy, the water level's really low.-Yeah.

Yes, some of the mud's even showing.

-Must be this heat wave.-Thank you.

The miracle of evaporation.

Yes.

Well, so much for our swim.

What? That's nonsense.

Do you know what we would have done backin the olden days?

Wait for it.

We would have run downto Water Wheel Cavern,

hauled that water back here in bucketsand topped up that pond.

Run all the way to Water Wheel Cavernin this heat?

Absolutely.

And of course, we'd have been singing too.

I suppose younger folk were madeof tougher stuff in those days.

Give me a break!

I suppose you could run thereand back with a pail of water.

Of course I could.

Isn't she hilarious?

On the contrary,

I'm glad somebody herethinks they'd be up to it.

Well, I could do it too.

Yeah, so could I.

Wonderful! I'll get the buckets. Wonderful! I'll get the buckets.

-Excuse me.-Yeah.

Neat!

Now look what you got us into.

It wasn't my idea.

Yuck. Stale, noxious odor.

It's unlike anythingl've ever smelled before.

Yuck! I do not like this one little bit.

River of imaginingAnd river like a magic thing

And river with your silvery fortissimos

Flowing in the stream of lifeAnd showing us a dream of life

And all of us are goingWhere the river goes

River roll on River roll on

All right, now everybody sing!

River roll on

Show us how to go where the river flows Show us how to go where the river flows

River roll on, carry us strong

River roll onBear us all along in your livelong

River of imaginingAnd river like a magic thing

River with your silvery fortissimos

River roll onFlowing in the stream of life

And showing us a dream of life...

It's coming in here.

That's disgusting.

This water is contaminated.

They're all going swimming.

I've got to stop them.

River roll on

Last one in the pool is a Gorg brain!

Stay out of the water!

Oh, no!

This is fantastic. This is fantastic.

Everyone out of the pool!

-What?-Our water's been poisoned.

Oh, no! Come on, quick.

-Mokey, Red, come on, quick. Get out!

Well, they've completed the first test

and the pumping equipmentworked like a charm.

They injected 100 gallons of this stuffinto the limestone formation.

Sprocket, I'm not gonna do anythingto harm the environment.

I mean, we're talkingabout empty, dark limestone caverns,

and we're talking about $100,000.

Sprocket, this is not the timeto start up about your imaginary friends.

We're talking science and facts.

All right, all right, all right, I'm a reasonable man.

You prove that something lives down there,

and I won't sign the contract. And I won't sign the contract.

In here. Come on.

Now can you smell it?

Not really.

Well, it smells okay to me.

Looks like just ordinary water, Boober.

Hey, how come you two sound so weird?

Look who's talking!

You fools!

Our water supply has been poisoned,

and you're goofing aroundwith silly voices?

I'm not just goofing around, Boober. I've got a weird tickle in my throat.

Kind of dry and scratchy.

Yeah, it hurts to swallow.

Oh, no! Don't you see?

You all drank the waterand you're all coming down with something.

Like what?

Well, how should I know?

Some kind of throat rot.

Throat rot? Oh, no!-He could be right, Gobo.

Throat rot? Oh, no!-He could be right, Gobo.

Of course he's right. Listen to us, we can hardly even whisper.

-I'm starting to feel weak.-Wembley.

Me too.

Weak and dizzy.

Red!

Red fainted! She never faints, I faint.

This is horrible.

-What are we gonna do?-Do?

There's nothing we can do, our water supply has been poisoned.

We are all doomed.

We're all... - No, no.-Get ahold of yourself, Boober.

This is no time to panic.

But don't you understand? I'm no good in a crisis.

Somebody's gotta find outwhat's going on around here, Boober.

Go to the Trash Heap, tell her what's happened.

It's our only hope.

Oh, no.

And you're sure it's the water?

Well, it has to be.

My friends all drank it and I didn't. My friends all drank it and I didn't.

And now they're sick.

This throat rot sounds nasty.

Yeah, I'm switching to radish juice.

Well, what are we gonna do, Madame Trash Heap?

Don't you Fraggles understandanything about the mystery of life?

All creatures are connected, and it's water that does it.

If there's a problemwith the river of life,

it gets passed alongand everybody suffers.

Too true.

Check out what the Gorgs are doing.

Pain!

-Junior, get over here.-What?

Daddy! Mommy!

-What's wrong?-My ankles. The itching.

-Daddy, you got it too?-Of course I got it.

-What is it?-Well, how should I know?

Some form of ankle rot.

Your mother and I were danglingour tootsies in the creek and...

And suddenly, they began to throb.

Throbbing ankles? How horrible!

Scratch them for me! Scratch them for me!

Scratching only makes the itch worse.

I know! Don't stop.

I wanna know what happenedto the water in our river.

Where does our water come from, Daddy?

Well, it comes from us, you nitwit.

We control all the water in the universe.

Somebody's been tampering with it.

Yeah, but who would dare do that?

Probably one of them Fraggles.

They'll pay for this.

This is a nightmare. They think we're to blame.

Calm down now. Think clearly.

What do you normally doin the time of a crisis?

Normally?

Well, I find a large rock, and then I hide under it.

If you want to fix the water, you've got to go to the source.

The source?

Where do you think water comes from?

The Gorgs?

Very lovable.

Not too smart.

Water comes from above, you ninny.

Above?

If there's a problem, you've got to go up there.

But what do I do when I get there?

You do what you can do.

And if I was you, I'd do it in a hurry.

The Trash Heap has spoken.

Up there? There's only one thing up thereand that's Outer Space!

Sounds right to me.

But that means the Silly Creatureshave poisoned our water.

Whatever you say.

Oh, no! We're doomed.

High-strung little fella.

What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?

I caught one, Daddy! I caught one.

Boy, oh, boy, are you ever gonna get it!

Listen, I know what you think,

but you've got it all wrong. It's the Silly Creatures' fault.

But you've got it all wrong. It's the Silly Creatures' fault.

Silly Creatures?

Never heard of them.

Well, they rule over Outer Space,

and they've contaminated everyone's water.

So, they're the culprits!

Get me my armor.

Daddy, what are you going to do?

I'm going to Outer Space

to straighten a few things outwith these so-called Silly Creatures.

Where is Outer Space anyway?

Well, the only way to get thereis through Fraggle Rock.

And you won't fit.

Somebody do something.

Hey, only a Fraggle could fitthrough that hole, Daddy.

Fine, you go straighten it out, then.

Me? Straighten things outwith the Silly Creatures?

I can't do that. I'm just a powerless little Fraggle.

I see.

When push comes to shove,

you Fraggles just lay down like doormats

and let these Silly Creatureswalk all over you. Is that it?

Doormats?

Well, no, not exactly.

I mean, nothing like thishas ever happened before.

My ankles!

Somebody do something!

I'll make it country simple, you little fur ball.

If you don't get the messageacross to these jokers,

you might as well kiss your hat goodbye.

Because you know what?

What?

Without clean water, we are all going to die.

I've gotta get Gobo.

He's the only one who knows howto cope with Outer Space.

He'll be able to sort this out.

Finally! Listen, everybody, I've got horrible news.

The Silly Creatures are on the rampage,

and they've poisonedthe Gorgs' water supply.

Gobo, you've gotta go up to Outer Space...

We're too weak, Boober. We're too weak, Boober.

You have to do it.

Oh, no. This is a nightmare.

Boober.

-What?-Please save us.

I've never felt so helplessin my entire life.

Splitting headache.

I just wanna crawlunder a large rock and...

shut my eyes, and wait till tomorrow and...

everything's back to normal.

Yeah.

Uh-uh.

Everyone's depending on you,

even the Gorgs.

But what can I do?

You've got to do what you can do.

I guess I could go to the holeto Outer Space...

beg for mercy.

Yeah, that's it.

That's what the Silly Creatureswill understand.

Begging and groveling.

Sprocket, don't grovel and beg!

I'm thinking.

It's not as if I'm not worriedabout the environment.

Even if some tiny life form was damagedby this stuff, I'd never forgive myself.

But you can't prove

that anything is living in those caves. They're empty...

as far as I know.

Sprocket, don't you understand?

Think of all the wonderful thingswe could do with all that money.

If only I could be 100% certainthat nothing was living in those caves.

Wait a minute.

Sprocket, let's go for a walk in the yard.

Think this thing through one more time.

I've gotta have a clear consciencebefore I give the go-ahead.

Hello.

Sir... or madam.

It's Boober Fraggle here,

one of the insignificant creatureswho lives down here in the caves.

I've come to beg and grovel.

Guess I better get on with it, then.

On behalf of the Fraggles and the Gorgs,

I hereby beg you to stopcontaminating our water.

I'm on my knees beggingfor that right now.

Okay?

Please, please stop poisoning us.

We're just helpless little creatureswho mean you no harm.

We don't want to die.

I've tried to think aboutwhy you'd wanna hurt us,

I've tried to think aboutwhy you'd wanna hurt us,

but it doesn't make any sense.

We've never done anything to you, have we?

Taken anything from you?

Wait a minute, there is something.

Maybe that's why you're mad at us, because you think that we took...

Stay right there, okay?

I'll be right back.

I've gotta hurry. There isn't much time.

Well, Sprocket, I've made up my mind.

I'm going to go insideand sign the contract.

Well, if you wanna sit out in the yardand howl,

go right ahead. It's not going to change my mind.

I've thought this thing through logically, and...

Come on, Sprocket, you're not being at all fair.

Well, I've done all I can do.

If ever there'd beenone single shred of evidence

that anything livedbehind this hole, I'd have...

What on Earth?

Sprocket.

Look, a bundle of postcards.

Wrapped in moss.

Musty.

Wait!

These are those postcards for Gobo Fraggle

that I've been throwing outall these years.

Now, how did they get there?

Something strange is going on around here.

All I can do now is wait and see.

Look at the world

What can you do

'Cause it makes you ache

And it leaves you blue And I guess my heart

Could break apart

With a long goodbye

'Cause it makes you cry

But I had a dream

It was time to begin

And every creature

We were sister and brother We were part of each other

And it made us one

And it made us win

Say, that's clean water.

We did it.

We did it. Hey, we did it!

Sprocket.

I did it.

He stood therewith the check for $100,000 in his hand,

and I said, "Thanks...

but no thanks."

The gentleman was not pleased.

It was one of the most difficult choicesl ever had to make.

All that money.

But there were so manyunanswered questions.

Life is very mysterious.

So many things we don't know.

I mean, something might live back there. I mean, something might live back there.

I know, I know, you've been tryingto convince me of that for years.

I told them to flush out the whole system

with a couple of thousand gallonsof fresh spring water.

So, if your little friends are back there, they're enjoying a nice fresh shower.

Right now.

Sister and brother and part of each other

It can make you acheFor the sake of another

And it takes your lifeAnd it stakes it too

And it makes you make the world come new

Sister and brother and part of each other

It can make you acheFor the sake of another

And it takes your lifeAnd it stakes it too

And it makes you make the world come new
