Down at Fraggle Rock.

[Doc] Attaboy, Sprocket.

[crash]

Oh, drat.

I'll have to move those snow shovels.

Oh, this is going to be perfect, Sprocket!

Well, come on in, Sprockie.

Yes, Sprockie, old buddy.

Today I finally decided to convertthis old, deserted room into a workshop.

[barks]

Aha!

-[thud]-Ooh!

I'm currently exploring the last

unchartedsection of the caves of Fraggle Rock.

Soon, my task will be done.

[sighs] Too bad.

In this area, there are weirdand totally mysterious steam jets.

They could be volcanic.

Perhaps they are volcanic.

But behold!

Look at this odd little tunnel.

-[thud]-Ooh!

Seems to be blocked.

Very strange.

[barks]

Yeah, well, first thing we've got to dois clear away this junk.

Wonder how that old hole got in the wall. Oh, well.

Oh, Sprocket, we're gonna havegood times here!

Come on, Sprocket! Lend a hand!

Some giant, magical force

penetrated the very substanceof Fraggle Rock!

An opening has appeared, and I can gaze into Outer Space!

There it lies, strange and mysterious,

just as the legend said it would,

the final frontier for Fraggledom.

Hup-hup-huh!

-Hi, Uncle Matt, what you doing?-I'm traveling!

I'm about to embarkon my greatest adventure.

Outer Space.

Oh, Matt. There's no Outer Space. You must be joking!

No, I must be packing.

Now, listen carefully, Gobo.

I'm going to leave my book and mapswith you for safekeeping.

Hup, hup!

[chuckles] Good old Uncle Matt.

Imagine him believing that old legend.

Oh, it's a real honorto have his book, though.

"The center of the universeis, of course, that marvelous land

known as Fraggle Rock.

It is thus called because it is a rock..."

[Matt] And Fraggles live there.

[Fraggles clamoring]

[Matt] Fraggles are a noble race, fearless, dignified, intellectual.

They represent the very pinnacleof civilization and culture.

The Fraggle is, most assuredly, the best of all possible creatures.

[Matt] Music is the greatestof the Fraggles' art forms.

But Fraggles also possessuncanny curiosity

and great athletic ability.

Hey, Wembley!

I betcha I can get from here to your roomwithout touching the ground!

-[Wembley] Oh, no, Red... Whoopee!

[Matt] Fraggles naturally havephysical prowess and a dance-like grace.

[Matt] Fraggles naturally havephysical prowess and a dance-like grace.

[Red] Ooh! Whoa!

-[crash]-Oh, hi, Red.

[Wembley]Gobo! Gobo, did Red fall this way?

-[Red squeals]-[crash]

Uh, yeah, Wembley, sort of that way.

Warning! Warning to all!

-Excuse me! Sorry.-[grunting]

-[crash]-Terribly sorry!

Listen, everybody!

I just read in my book of superstitionsthat it's unlucky to tug your tail.

-Unlucky to do this?-[screams] Don't do that!

-It'll bring death and pestilence.-Death and pestilence?

-Just from doing this?-[screams] Wembley!

-Oh, sorry!-Ow!

-[Wembley] Oh, sorry, Red!-[Boober] Ah! Sorry!

[Wembley screams]

[Red groaning]

I mean exactly what I said, Nephew Gobo.

I am going to explore Outer Space.

But there is no Outer Space.

And even if there is, why, we can't get there.

-It's only a legend.-So I used to think.

But remember the old song, Gobo.

Uncle Matt, wait. It's really strange up here.

You think it's strange here, look out there, boy.

-Hmm?-Go on.

[gasps]

[Gobo] It's Outer Space. Just like the legend said.

And we must venture out into it. It is our destiny.

"We must venture out"? Did you say "we"?

Absolutely.

I shall fully explorethe reaches of Outer Space,

taking notes all the while,

and send messages back to you.

Every few days, you must go into this first room

Every few days, you must go into this first room

and pick up the messages.

Promise me you'll do that, boy.

[stammers]

Uncle Matt, I love you very much,

but not even for youwould I go out into that room.

There's nothing in Fraggle Rockthat could force me to go into that room.

I will not go.

Thank you for promising me.

Hmm. I knew there was no way out.

You're welcome, Uncle Matt.

Think of me as Travelling Matt.

[xylophone jingles]

And now, on to meet with destiny.

But, Uncle Matt...

[grunting]

[grunts]

Oh.

Phew!

Wow!

Oh, wow!

Thank goodness Outer Spaceseems to be uninhabited.

[Doc grunting]

Oh!

[Matt groans] [Matt groans]

Let me see now.

Well, I can put the workbench hereand this drawing table over there.

Come on in, Sprocket.

Tell me, Sprocket, how do you really like it here?

[Sprocket barking]

Yes, of course, I knew you'd love it here.

[Sprocket growling, barking]

[Matt] The first creaturel encountered in Outer Space

was four-legged and furry.

It had great, sharp teeth...

and a fearsome breath.

-Run, Uncle Matt! Run!-Oh, yes, of course!

[barking continues]

He did it! Uncle Matt did it! He survived the fearsome beast!

Wait a minute.

I'm going to have to do thatevery few days?

[Matt] My first moments in Outer Spacewere quite frightening,

but now I am getting used to it.

I have gone through the first roomand come to another place.

I have gone through the first roomand come to another place.

-[honks]-[screams]

Excuse me, sir. Sorry. Terribly sorry. I hope I didn't startle you.

[chuckles]

[indistinct chatter]

[screams] Whoa!

[chattering continues]

-[thud]-[grunts]

So far, I have been attackedby a large beast,

run into an unfriendly yellow fellow,

and escaped from an armycarrying deadly weapons.

If I put this in a message to Gobo, he'll never believe it.

I'll just say I'm fine. Hmm.

[indistinct chatter]

Oh, Gobo, what's wrong? You haven't been yourself at all recently.

Oh, Gobo, what's wrong? You haven't been yourself at all recently.

I guess it's my Uncle Travelling Matt. I'm really worried about him.

Oh.

He's out exploringdangerous caves again, huh?

No, nothing like that. It's just that...

Well, I don't want to talk about it.It's... it's too awful.

I understand, Gobo.

There are times when one must work outone's own problems.

Don't worry. We'll all leave you completely alone.

I gotta tell you, Mokey, when you're wrong, you're really wrong.

I could sure use some help.

I'd even take help from the Doozersif they could give it.

Attention, all Doozers!

[grunts] Who put that there?

Begin construction! Hoo-ah!

Oh, hey, Gobo, I found a musical Doozer construction.

Listen to this.

[cheerful music playing]

-[Doozer 1] Stand by the bridge!-[Doozers] Standing by.

[Doozer 2] I'm rolling the road.

[Doozer 1] Lower the bridge!

Steady.

Okay, now the road.

Railings. Bring in the railings.

[Doozers] Check.

Gobo, why do you supposeDoozers build the buildings Doozers build?

I don't know, Wembley.

But they sure built them around you. You're trapped.

Gosh, you're right.

[chuckles] It's a good thing I'm hungry. I can eat my way to freedom.

You know, Doozer constructions sure are delicious.

You know, Doozer constructions sure are delicious.

I always have wondered why the Doozersdon't mind us eating them, though.

Aw, look at that. Does my heart good.

Ah, yes. Architecture's meant to be enjoyed.

[Gobo sighs]

What's wrong, Gobo?

Oh, I can't explain.

I'm gonna see the Trash Heap.

I know what I promised my Uncle Matt, but I'm scared of that beast.

[creature muttering]

[Gobo] And to do that,

I'll have to sneak through a Gorg's gardenwithout a Gorg seeing me.

Hey! Whoa! Hey!

Why, you Fraggle!

Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

Why, you...

One of these days, I'll get you Fraggles!

[sighs]

You are in the presence of... The all-knowing...

[both] Trash Heap!

Nyah!

The Trash Heap knows all... The Trash Heap tells all...

Let's face it, boys. The Trash Heap is all.

- Too true.-Too true. - Too true.-Too true.

I'm orange peels. I'm coffee grounds.

I'm wisdom.

Greetings, Madam Heap.

And I know what this Fraggle has.

-Of course you do.-You're all-knowing.

I know that!

This young Fraggle has trouble.

Troubles?

I'm bringing you my troubles. Sorry.

Sorry? What's to be sorry? Trouble's my favorite thing.

-[music stops]-[trash clanging]

I promised my unclel'd visit a certain place every week.

And now there's a terrible monsterliving there.

You'll survive the monsters.

You made it past the Gorgs, or you wouldn't be here.

[sighs] I just feel so alone.

Alone? Then don't be alone.

Get some friends. Friends help.

[both] The Trash Heap has spoken!

Thank you, Madam Trash Heap.

-You know what?-What?

Marjory's right. Friends do help. Marjory's right. Friends do help.

Of course. Even you guys help... a little.

[sighs]

-He's a great furry thing on four legs.-[Fraggles gasp]

I thought Uncle Matt was a goner for sure, but he just managed to get away.

[Fraggles] Phew!

And now I have to go outinto that same room every few days.

What should I do?

You should crawl under the coversand moan and whimper.

Oh, no, Boober! Gobo must go.

-Oh, yes!-And we should go with him.

-Oh, no!-Would you really do that?

-[Mokey] Sure!-Yeah! Sure!

On to Outer Space.

[all] On to Outer Space!

[Red] Well, of course, I don't believe a word of it.

[Sprocket whimpering]

Oh, Sprocket!

Just a couple of more hoursand this will be a working workshop.

What are you whimpering about? What are you whimpering about?

Oh, I know, I know.

This is our regular playtime, but today is different.

Sprocket, I just can't stop working.

I tell you what. Why don't you go play by yourself?

[barks]

[tense music playing]

[Sprocket whimpering]

See, I told you it was different up here.

[thud]

It sure is different all right.

Yeah, it is a little different.

Oh, oh! Oh!

It's very differentand just wonderfully exciting!

Yes. Nice spot, if you're fond of fear and terror.

[all gasping]

This wasn't here before.

Ugh! It's a hideous round thing!

Ugh.

Well, whatever it is...

Through that hole is Outer Space.

[Boober] Ugh!

Well, Sprocket, having fun with your ball? Well, Sprocket, having fun with your ball?

[snoring]

Oh, you're a funny dog. You're sound asleep.

Well, I'll let him rest.

I want to thank you guys for coming along.

Oh, Gobo, that's what friends are for.

Gobo, I'm sorry I didn't believe youabout Outer Space.

Oh, that's okay.

[sighs] Well, now to fulfill my promise.

I got to go out thereand find that message from my uncle.

Where will you find it, Gobo?

I don't know. Out there... someplace.

Thanks for your help, guys.

[Wembley whimpers]

[snoring]

[tense music playing]

[whispers] Oh, what luck. The beast is asleep.

[whispers] Oh, what luck. The beast is asleep.

Now, where could that message be?

Mail call!

[barking]

[laughs]

Here's a letter from Caroly.

Oh, and here's one for you. This month's issue of Puppy Dog Tales.

What's this? "Gobo Fraggle."

Why would mail to Gobo Fragglebe coming here?

Oh, well...

Well, I better go outand get the rest of the tools in.

[gasps] He's getting readyto come back to us!

He's gonna do it!-Beware of the terrible beast, Gobo!

He's gonna do it!-Beware of the terrible beast, Gobo!

Beware of the terrible round thing.

[Boober whimpers]

Oh, boy!

[Sprocket barks]

Huh? Oh!

Help! Do something! Do anything!

Help! Help! Do something! Anything!

Throw something at it!

[Mokey] That's it! The hideous round thing!

And then I thought,

Uncle Matt is out thereexploring the universe for us.

So I have to do this for him.

[sighs] Oh, it's so exciting.

It's always exciting in Fraggle Rock.

That's what's wrong with the place.

That does it, Sprocket, we're moved into our new workshop.

We're going to have a lot of fun here.

Don't you like it?

[barks]

Oh, yeah, that ugly old hole in the wall.

Well, don't worry about it. I'll board it up one of these days.
