[wind blowing]

Looks like we're in for a full-scale blizzard, Sprocket.

[chuckles] Well, have you unwrapped it?

[barks]

You've never heard of Mr. Meow?

Why, it's the finest raw catnip in the world. Here.

-Ugh! [coughs] -You don't like catnip?

Cats love it. Drives them crazy. They can smell it through a brick wall.

[cat meows]

See what I mean about this stuff?

That's probably Fluffinella, Mr. Shimmelfinney's cat.

-[gags] -[chuckles]

Hey, Sprocket, look at this computer read-out.

[computer beeps]

I think I found a way to turn catnip into dognip.

[gasps] -That's right.

I'm going to make this stuff smell like everything you dogs love.

Like rare steaks, spring mornings...

[whimpering] -Postmen's legs...

-Can you imagine? -[Fluffinella meows]

[exhales deeply]

Mmm. This lima bean soup is missing something.

-Oh, what's that? -Lima beans.

[laughs]

Where's Red anyway?

We'll never get this soup finished in time for the surprise party...

-What are you looking at? -Nice apron.

-Oh, come on. It's Mokey's. -[snickers]

She's the one who knows how to make this stuff. Where is she?

I don't know.

Well, don't just stand there.

-Go find her. -Okay, okay.

[Boober] Do I really have to go through with this?

There's an old Fraggle tradition.

On your birthday, you visit the Trash Heap and get your birthday wisdom.

Well, there's an old Boober tradition, too.

On my birthday, I worry about the Grim Reaper.

But, Boober, the time to worry about the Grim Reaper

is when you stop having birthdays.

[whimpers]

Why should I have to pick the stupid lima beans

for Boober's surprise party?

[Boober] Hey, Red.

He won't even appreciate it.

-Hey, Red. -Oh.

Red, what are all those lima beans for?

Are you expecting some kind of natural disaster?

Oh, well... Oh, no, no, no, nothing like that.

Uh, just doing a little favor for Gobo.

Yes, and you're just in time to go get Boober's birthday wisdom.

-[Boober] Hmm? -Well, actually I'm supposed to take--

Actually, um... Actually it's what birthdays are all about.

Right, Red. Come on.

Listen. Some things are worth worrying about.

Impending doom is not one of them.

-Life is for living! -Life is for living!

My colleague speaks the truth.

This is your birthday. You've got to focus on the positive.

Listen to big mama Trash.

Whoa! I gotta talk to Mokey for a second.

-Come here. -Oh, uh... Sure.

-What... what is it, bad news? -Uh...

Something awful has happened. I can just feel it.

-[giggles] -I bet the roof has caved in.

-Boober, you are driving me nuts! -Oh, um...

I have a wonderful idea, Red.

Why don't you take Boober on an adventure hike?

-Yeah. -You gotta be kidding. Me and Boober?

-An adventure hike? -Yes. Down to the, um, Spiral Cavern.

Yeah.

It's a wonderful place to focus on the positive.

-Positive. -And, um--

-Boober! Boober, look up here. -What?

Uh, well... right up there.

[whispers] Keep Boober busy until the surprise party tonight.

I know, I know. Okay, come on, Boober. Let's go have ourselves a laugh riot.

I just love the Spiral Cavern.

Yes, indeed. The old downward spiral.

Perfect.

[whimpers]

Hey. This looks kind of interesting in here.

But it's creepy down here.

Oh, what are you worried about?

I'm worried about enclosed spaces,

and death, and pain, and spiders, and words with "R" in them and...

Do you want the whole list or just a general overview?

Have you ever noticed you and I have absolutely nothing in common?

I'm worried about that, too.

-Aah! -Get in there!

-[whimpers] -There, now. Isn't this pretty?

-Oh. -Red,

there's something that I have to tell you.

What? You're gonna tell me about your claustrophobia, right?

-Mmm-hmm. -Forget it. Hey, let's go this way.

[gasps] Red! Red! Red!

This is a falling rock zone.

-That sign's just for Doozers! -Shh. Quiet.

-[rumbling] -[screaming]

Aah!

Whoa! Whoa!

[slurping]

Um... I think it needs a bit more salt.

-A bit of salt? That's easy. -Mmm-hmm.

Um... Now it needs a bit less salt.

Gee, uh... That's harder.

Hey, how's the cooking lesson coming?

[exhales] I'm hopeless.

No, no. Nonsense. You're, uh, very, um, promising.

Well, this will be better than the food Uncle Matt's been finding in Outer Space.

Oh, yeah? Like what?

He just wrote me about it. The other day...

[Matt] / was resting by the giant Fraggle pond,

feeling very hungry, when I saw two of the silly creatures

eating an interesting kind of food.

It must have been very tough.

They chewed and chewed and chewed.

But they seemed to like it so much,

that I hinted politely that I might be pleased to share their snack.

[inaudible]

The clever girl creatures got my message and gave me a taste of this odd food.

It certainly was chewy but it tasted delicious.

I was enjoying it, when suddenly, I noticed the two silly creatures again.

It was awful! Their tongues inflated and exploded.

Naturally, I spat out the food at once.

Who would eat things that made your tongue explode?

These creatures are weird.

That's what Uncle Matt says.

So don't complain about my lima bean soup, eh?

-[siren wailing] -[all gasping]

There's been a cave-in down by the Spiral Cavern!

[all shouting]

That's where Red and Boober went! [screams]

There's no cause for alarm!

Everybody keep calm! [screams]

Sound the horn for Felix the Fearless.

[horn sounds]

[grunts]

No problem. I've seen these little rock slides before.

We're trapped, Red, in this little tiny space.

It is small.

Thank goodness I have my claustrophobia under control.

Otherwise, I'd feel like these walls were closing in on me,

and pressing in and in until...

Until... I can't breathe.

I've got to get out of here! [screams]

Red! Red! Snap out of it.

-[breathes heavily] -Red, we've got to cope.

If I can cope, anybody can cope.

[horn sounds]

At last, it's Felix the Fearless, head of our Rescue Squad.

Now, what seems to be the problem?

[all] Cave-in!

Uh-oh. I just hate those.

Anybody get squashed?

-Two of our friends are down there. -You got to save them.

Tell us what to do.

-Yeah! Yeah! -Okay, uh... Here's my plan.

Everybody line up in alphabetical order!

-[all groan] -Let's go.

Line up. Line up. Line up.

I like Felix the Fearless as much as the next Fraggle,

but that guy hasn't got a clue.

Well, someone had to run the Rescue Squad, and Felix wanted the job. So, uh...

First things first, we must locate the exact site of the cave-in.

[all] Spiral Cavern!

Oh. In that case, we should go to the Spiral Cavern.

Follow me!

[clears throat] Uh... It's this way.

Oh. Follow him!

I don't want to die here.

It doesn't help to be afraid.

How come you're not afraid?

You're always afraid.

It's funny. I'm not nearly as afraid as I used to get

when I just thought about awful things happening.

You were always the brave one.

A lot of times...

I was really scared.

I didn't know that about you.

I'm glad you're here with me, Boober.

It wouldn't be nice to be alone.

What are we going to do now?

Let's think about our friends and hope for the best.

Nobody else can help us now.

Where is this stupid cave-in?

-There itis. -I've found the cave-in!

Oh. It looks horrible.

-Oh, no! -By golly!

-Look at that! -A scarf.

-That's Boober's scarf. -Oh, no!

Looks to me like your friends are already squashed.

-You mean... [gasps] -It's hopeless.

Let's go get some lunch.

Hey, wait a minute!

You can't just give up. They might still be alive in there.

-Yeah! -Be my guest.

Maybe you've got a great idea for moving that boulder.

Well, we're sure going to try. Come on, everyone.

[chattering]

See what I mean? A textbook case of irreversible entombment.

Felix, if you can't contribute anything, at least stand aside.

But I'm head of the Rescue Squad.

Well, then hook up that rock harness over there, and hurry up.

Is something wrong?

No. I'm focusing on them.

She's focusing on them.

Focusing on the positive.

They're all right. I can feel their well-being.

Well, I'm going to focus on moving this rock.

Wembley, give her all the help you can.

What do you mean, Gobo?

[exhales deeply] This doesn't look good.

It may not have a happy ending.

-[wind howling] -[Fluffinella meows]

It's never been this bad. No power.

Even the snowplow can't get through.

Oh, and poor Fluffinella can't even make it back across the street.

[Fluffinella meows]

Oh, and even if she could, I bet the snow would be piled high above her pet door.

-[Sprocket whimpers] -Huh? What?

[whines]

-You've been thinking... -[barks]

and you've come to realize...

that no dog is a pancake.

[muttering]

-l... -[continues muttering]

Oh, island. No dog is an island.

[barks]

And in times of great peril...

and shared suffering,

all of us should set aside...

[barks]

our differences.

[howls]

And reach out to one another in the spirit of love and understanding.

[sobs]

That's one of the finest, most moving speeches

I've ever heard, Sprocket.

Not only are you man's best friend, but you're also cat's best friend.

I'll... I'll let her in.

-You'd better go lie in your basket. -[barks]

Huh? You want her to have the basket?

You're going to sleep in that cardboard box?

Well, I'm... I'm overwhelmed.

[meows]

[chuckles] I'll be...

Look at that. She went straight to you, Sprocket.

She's using your body warmth.

[laughs] I tell you,

I never thought I'd see you sharing your bed with Fluffinella.

-[Sprocket howls] -What a sight.

[grunts] Yeah. That ought to do it.

It'll never hold.

Ready on one!

-Ready! -Ready!

-[Fraggle 1] Ready! -[Fraggle 2] Ready!

-[Fraggle 3] Ready! -[Fraggle 4] Ready!

[gasps] They're trying to rescue us.

-[rumbling] -Ah! We're going to be crushed!

[both panting]

Yeah.

It's quiet. Maybe they've stopped trying to rescue us.

Yeah. Maybe.

You know, Boober, I feel kind of giddy.

Yeah. Giddy and tired.

You know what that means, don't you?

We're running out of air.

What do you think it's like to die?

I don't know, Red.

I don't think anybody does.

You know, I remember this one day I was doing my laundry,

and then this big soap bubble floated right up from the tub.

There it was in front of my face,

beautiful and shiny...

And then it was gone.

[sobs]

Red, don't be sad.

I can't help it.

It was fun while it lasted...

All the good times, and the songs, and the laughs, and stuff.

You always said you never liked the good times,

and songs and fun.

Well, sometimes I liked them...

but that's a secret.

Oh, Boober.

Don't go to sleep, okay, Red?

There. That ought to do it.

Will it hold?

How should I know, Felix? All we can do is our best.

Well, what if our best isn't good enough?

Wait. Wait, everyone.

Before we start pulling, focus on the positive!

-Yeah! -All right, everybody!

Focus on the positive!

Okay. For Red and Boober, I'll do it.

[all humming]

Okay, everybody. This time it moves.

-[all] Yeah! -Here we go!

-Okay. -[all gasp]

Are they all right? Are they alive?

Oh. The roof in there is caving in!

-[all shouting] -Quick, give me your hand!

-There they are! -Come on!

-We did it! We saved them! -[rumbling]

No need to thank me. All in a day's work.

Felix, make yourself useful for a change and go get the lima bean soup, eh?

Oh, she still won't get off you, eh?

Oh, you'll be telling your grandchildren about this blizzard.

"The night I made friends with Fluffinella." [chuckles]

[whimpering]

The barrel of catnip. What about it?

You want me to take it outside and take the lid off?

Oh, all right, all right already.

[Fluffinella meows]
