[Sprocket howling]

Oh, Sprocket, stop howling. You woke me up.

I knew it.

It's the full moon, Sprocket.

[howling]

You can never get to sleep on the night of the full moon.

-Did you try counting puppies? -[whines]

Well, how about some more warm milk?

[hiccups]

Mmm. Ah, there, there.

I know you don't want to howl.

Dogs and the full moon, it's always been the same.

Still, there must be something to get you to go to sleep,

full moon or no full moon.

[sighs]

[howls]

That loose nail has been driving me crazy.

Now, then, what can I do

to help poor old Sprockie get to sleep, eh?

-[whines] -Oh, I've got an idea.

When in doubt, research.

[chuckles]

See?

Now...

Ha! This is interesting.

"Primitive man tried to capture the full moon

so that he could have light every night."

Imagine that.

[howling]

Well, of course, you can't capture the moon.

Aha!

"How to get your dog to fall asleep on the night of the full moon.

First, turn the page.”

[howling]

Well, now.

[music playing]

Oh, wake up, everybody. Gobo! I hear music.

The ceremony of the moon has begun.

Wow, I just had this incredible dream.

Oh, I don't know how you can sleep at all, Gobo.

If I were moon-greeter, I'd be too excited to do anything.

I'm moon-greeter. Hey, that was part of my dream.

What are you gonna do to greet the moon, Gobo?

I was gonna sing a song, but I've just changed my mind.

Oh, come on, can't you give us just a little hint?

No. It's a secret.

Last month,

Finnie Fraggle wrote and recited 74 verses of an ode to the moon.

It was rapturous.

Is rapturous the same as boring?

-I don't think so. -Then she's wrong.

[laughs]

No. My way of greeting the Fraggle moon is more exciting than that.

And you can all help.

You're kidding. I'd love to help.

Oh, he's gonna do something stupid,

like read a postcard from that goofy uncle of his.

-Shh! The procession is coming. -Oh!

The world's oldest Fraggle will now welcome you

to the monthly festival of the Fraggle moon.

Welcome to the monthly festival of the Fraggle moon.

[all cheering]

The world's oldest Fraggle will now begin the ceremony.

The ceremony will now begin. Listen up.

They are listening.

Don't sass me.

[all laughing]

Now, each month, since time began,

the world's most beautiful object has magically appeared in Fraggle Rock.

The Fraggle moon.

Of course the Fraggle moon, Gorgbait.

[all laughing]

And each month, a different Fraggle is given the honor of celebrating

the arrival of the moon.

Some Fraggles sing, some dance.

Weird Marvin made a statue out of carved radishes.

[laughing]

Now, who is this month's moon-greeter?

Step forward, moon-greeter.

Excuse me, everyone.

Please, sir, here I am.

Bless my whiskers! It's Traveling Matt.

Uh, no, Matt is my uncle, sir. I'm Gobo.

Still the old master of disguise, eh, Matt?

Honest, Your Agedness, I'm Gobo.

I know it's Gobo.

All right. Now... [clears throat]

Gobo, as official moon-greeter--

Excuse me, Your Agedness. The time is upon us.

-We must call the Fraggle moon. -l know it.

[thud]

The time is upon us. We must call the Fraggle moon.

Gobo?

[Fraggle 1] Ooh! Look at that!

[Fraggle 2] Isn't it wonderful?

It's the most beautiful thing there is.

I think the Fraggle moon is even more beautiful than the Gorg moon.

Yes, that's because it swims in the water, like a Fraggle.

The old Gorg moon just, sort of, hangs there in the sky.

[Wembley] Yeah.

[snoring]

[Junior] No, no, no!

Let me go.

-Mommy, help me. Help me. -[Ma Gorg] Wake up, light of my life.

Wake up, son.

[Junior] Oh, Mommy! Mommy, it was awful.

That same dream again.

Oh, there were Fraggles crawling all over me.

[Ma Gorg] Hush, my princeling.

You know you always have nightmares on the full of the moon.

All right, all right, now. Quiet down. Quiet down.

Now, Gobo Fraggle, just what are you going to do to celebrate

the arrival of the Fraggle moon?

Please, sir, I got this idea from a dream I just had.

Oh, no, Gobo, you're gonna make a fool of yourself.

-No, he isn't. -I dreamt that I--

That... that we captured the moon.

-[all exclaiming] -Holy stalactite!

Tell me, why couldn't we?

The moon comes to our Fraggle pond just one night each month.

If we captured it,

we could have its beauty to light our way every night.

-[all exclaiming] -What a concept.

Tonight, with the help of my friends,

I will attempt to capture the moon.

[all laughing]

That is the dumbest idea I ever heard.

Oh, dumb is right. Count me out.

This is not a dumb idea.

Well, what's wrong with the idea?

In my dream, it was wonderful.

[all laughing]

Don't laugh.

Don't laugh!

[Junior] Oh, it was terrible.

[Ma Gorg] There, there, son, it's only a dream.

But it's so real. There were all these Fraggles.

Poor babykins. Poor little lambie-pie.

[Pa Gorg] Tell lambie-pie to put a lid on it. I'm trying to sleep.

Oh, dear. You've wakened your father.

Uh, husband, Junior's been having nightmares.

[Pa Gorg] So let him sleep in the garden.

He can't wake the dunderpated radishes.

-Oh. But, Pa, I don't want to sleep-- -Just do as your father bids, Junior.

I'll go quiet him.

-[Pa Gorg] And Junior! -Yes?

[Pa Gorg] Fetch me a cup of water before you go back to sleep.

[sighs] Okay, I'm getting it, Daddy.

Boy, I bet he doesn't have bad dreams about Fraggles.

I'll get his lousy water for him.

Whoa! Hey, you clumsy cup.

-It's a magical phenomenon. -Where did it come from?

[yawning] That cup's got to be in there somewhere.

Look, the moon is... is disappearing.

[Fraggles exclaiming]

I can't see a thing.

Where are you, cup? Where are you in there?

Whoa!

The moon is gone.

-Help! Help, Daddy. Help! -[Fraggles exclaiming]

Oh, now I've done it.

It's a monster. Run for your lives.

[all screaming]

Wembley, Mokey, come on. Quick. This way.

-Oh! The Gorg has stolen our moon. -What do we do now?

That moon belongs to the Fraggles and we shall capture it back.

Oh, help, help! Daddy! Mommy! Oh!

Gobo, how are we gonna take the moon back from a Gorg?

I don't know, Mokey, but we will.

It wasn't very fair of him to take the moon

just when Gobo was gonna capture it for us.

No. After all, the Gorgs have a moon of their own.

Yeah!

Oh, the Fraggles are...

Fraggles? Oh, no! I must be asleep.

Oh, my nightmare is back.

We'll set you free if you give us back our moon.

Set him free? We can't do that.

-Shh! -Give you the moon? I can't do that.

Can't or won't?

Uh... Both.

See? He does have it.

Oh, I hate these dreams. I wish I could wake up.

Gosh! He thinks he's asleep.

Well, I wish he were asleep.

Then we could go up there and find the moon.

We could.

We could.

Well, um, there's always the moon lullaby.

-Yeah. -l love that song.

[yawns] And it always works, too.

Junior, where's that water?

Junior!

Junior, I've been waiting for a cup of water for--

Hey, why are your legs up where your head belongs?

What? What? I'm awake? Oh, Daddy, help!

Look at me when I talk to you, son.

Oh, Daddy. Daddy, I went for the water, and the cup fell in the well,

and I got my head stuck looking for it, and there were Fraggles in the well.

I see you fell asleep and had another nightmare.

I guess I did.

Every full moon, you have nightmares about Fraggles.

Oh, it's terrible, Daddy.

Oh, I wish I could stay awake all night so I wouldn't dream.

Well, try counting the stars in the sky.

You count every one of them, you'll be too busy to sleep.

Oh, thank you, Daddy. Oh, what a brilliant idea.

No wonder he's king.

The royal thirst goes unassuaged.

Ah, the tribulations of royalty.

There's one, uh, two, and there's three.

Uh, four. [chuckles] This is gonna keep me awake all night.

Uh, five. [yawns]

Six.

[yawns] Ten.

Uh, eleventeen. Twelveteen.

[snoring]

Where am I?

Oh, no. The Gorg has our moon.

And the Gorg is gone.

Wembley, Mokey, wake up. The Gorg has our moon.

If we don't get it back, we'll never see it again.

Not even once a month.

Oh, no! I hadn't thought of it that way.

The moon is the most wonderful thing in all Fraggledom.

-We gotta have our moon. -Yeah, exactly.

So we have to find the Gorg and get our moon back.

Now, once we find it, what do we carry it in?

-Well, we could carry it in our hands. -No, I don't think that would work.

I mean, the moon is slippery, it would slip right through our fingers.

Hey, we'll carry it in that.

Now, all we need is some kind of cover so the moon won't slosh out.

It's lucky we found this round thing for the top of the barrel.

Did you say it was an invention, Wembley?

-Well, yeah, I call it the wheel. -Oh.

But it doesn't work, it keeps rolling away.

-Oh, gee, too bad. -Yeah.

Oh, Gobo, it's so noble of you to undertake this quest for beauty.

Well, I'm just following my tradition.

I mean, Uncle Matt would capture that moon for us.

-Remember what he did last week? -You didn't read us that card.

Oh, I got it right here. [clears throat]

"Dear Nephew Gobo,

if you look at the other side of this card,

you'll see a wondrous object.”

[Matt] / was walking down a country road when I saw a sign.

It said, "Rainbow Farms." I was so excited.

So, this is where they grow the rainbows.

Soon, I found what I was looking for...

a rainbow egg.

I decided that, at all costs,

I was going to watch the actual birth of a rainbow.

I waited and waited and waited,

but unfortunately, I fell asleep.

And when I woke up,

-it had already hatched. -[gasps]

I looked out the window, and there, arching over the sky,

was the rainbow.

Oh, how quickly they grow up.

"Your friend, Uncle Traveling Matt."

Gosh, Gobo, I'd sure like to see one of those rainbows.

Mmm.

I'd be happy just to see the Fraggle moon again. Come on.

Gobo, watch it.

-There he is. -[Mokey gasps]

[Mokey] What are we going to do, Gobo?

Well, we'll just have to go up there and search him.

Yeah, okay.

[Junior snoring]

-Boy, this is scary. -And frightening, too.

We've got to find the moon.

[grunts] The moon's not in his pocket.

-It's not in his-- -[Junior mumbles]

[whispering] It's not in his ear.

[Gobo grunts]

-No, it's not in his mouth, either. -[Junior grunting]

Look out, Gobo.

-[sneezes] -[yells]

[thud]

Gobo, are you okay?

What do we do now, Gobo?

Nothing. We've failed.

What? Gobo!

You don't mean we'll never see the Fraggle moon again?

It looks that way. It's gone.

For all I know, Fraggle moon can't live out of water even for a little while.

But that would mean that the... the moon is dead.

-Moon dead. -[Fraggles gasping]

[man on recorder] Deep asleep. You are now deeply asleep.

A sleep so deep and peaceful that nothing can bother you.

Nothing can pull you out of this hypnotic trance.

Nothing.

[howling]

Sprockie, please don't howl.

[man on recorder] And whatever you do, don't howl.

[Gobo] Well, there's nothing left for us to do.

There must be.

We have to go home and tell the Fraggles they'll never see their moon again.

No, Gobo, but I just don't believe it.

You can't take the moon away from the Fraggles.

Why, that beauty is part of us. It's inside you, it's inside me.

-[gasps] It's inside the barrel. -What?

Look, I was just taking the lid off and--

[Mokey] It's our moon.

The moon must have escaped from the Gorg by hiding in our barrel.

-Yes! -It knows we are friends.

-Quick, put the lid on it. -Okay.

-We've done it. We've captured the moon. -Yay!

[chattering]

Quiet, quiet. Shush! Cool it and silence.

-[chattering stops] -Now...

The terrible monster who appeared to us has left as suddenly as he came.

Unfortunately, he has taken with him our beloved Fraggle moon.

[crowd] Oh, no.

If you please, sir, my friends are missing, too.

That's even worse.

[Gobo] No, we are back.

-[Fraggles exclaiming] -And we've captured the moon.

-And I knew you could do it. -[Fraggles cheering]

-Congratulations, Matt. -Gobo.

I'm not Gobo, I'm the world's oldest Fraggle.

-You're getting old, Matt. -But it's Gobo.

I know it's Gobo, I was only teasing him.

[Fraggles laughing]

Congratulations, Gobo, on capturing the Fraggle moon.

Thank you, sir.

It was difficult work, but my friends and I did it.

And here's the Fraggle moon.

You're talking silly talk. There's no moon in there.

What? Oh!

Would you care to try to explain this?

But... but we did capture the moon in the garden.

We searched the Gorg by the light of the Gorg moon.

But while we were doing that,

the moon slipped away from the Gorg and hid in our barrel.

When we found it there, we put the lid on it and trapped it.

Gobo, everyone, look. The moon is back in the pond.

[all cheering]

How can this be?

First, the Gorg had it, then it was in the cup, now it's in the pond.

It kept moving till it came home.

Up in the garden, Mokey said the moon's beauty

was part of the Fraggles.

She was right, and I was wrong.

I can't capture the moon. But then again, I don't have to.

You picked a good way to celebrate the moon, Matt.

-Gobo. -Whatever.

Please, sir, it's half-past the middle of the night.

Then go to sleep.

Time for all Fraggles to be in bed. The ceremony of the moon is now over.

[Fraggles sighing]

Well, guys, it sounds like it was a great adventure.

-It was, Red. -Yeah, it sure was.

Yeah. But don't you kind of feel that the whole thing might have been a dream?

[Mokey] Just a dream.

Good dog. You're finally asleep. Good dog.

[snoring]

Oh, I hope that I'm really asleep and just dreaming that I'm wide awake.
