[insect buzzes]

[buzzing]

It's even better than I thought,

30 kilometers to a liter!

Imagine that, Sprocket.

An 11-year-old station wagon

that gets 30 kilometers to a liter, that's...

71 miles to the gallon.

-[phone rings] -[chuckles] Oh.

Hello? Hello, Ned.

It's Shimmelfinney.

[Doc] Ned, you won't believe it. Oh.

Remember that carburetor I rebuilt to save gas?

Well, I've been running it for the past two weeks now.

And I'm getting about 71 miles to the gal--

Why are you laughing?

He's laughing, Sprocket.

-[growling] -What kind of joke?

You've been adding gas to my tank every night?

You mean, I'm not getting better mileage?

Stop that laughing!

[snickering]

Shimmelfinney, this is no joke.

I've sent a report about this to the North American Society of Tinkerers.

I'll be a laughingstock.

Our friendship is at an end.

Go, and never darken my phone again!

-Ned Shimmelfinney. -[growling]

Who needs him?

Let's go and do something else.

Let's play a little football, just you and me.

[gasps]

Yeah, we'll toss the old pigskin around for a while.

Uh-oh.

-Just remembered. -Mm-hmm.

We don't have a football.

Always used to borrow Ned Shimmelfinney's.

I'll tell you what.

Let's play a round of our new computer game, Triple Cross.

Remember what fun that is?

-[sobs] -Oh, yeah.

Takes three players,

and Mr. Shimmelfinney used to come on over.

Ah, well. Who needs him?

[sighs]

[Marjory] Uh...

Oh. Oh.

Marjory, wake up.

Marjory, you're having a nightmare.

Oh, oh, oh, boys,

what an experience.

Aw, forget it, Marjory.

Yeah, it was just a dream.

-Yeah. -Oh, it wasn't an ordinary dream.

I appeared to me in my sleep.

You appeared to yourself in a dream?

You know how it is.

When the Trash Heap appears to you in a dream,

you better listen up, and you better listen tight.

[Marjory sighs]

I should say so.

So what did you say to yourself?

Oh, I said, "Why can't the Fraggles

and the Doozers and the Gorgs...

why can't they understand one another?

[sighs] Why can't I bring them together?"

-Uh-oh. -Well, what are you saying, Marjory?

It's time to teach them a lesson again.

-Oh. -But not with magic, though.

Yeah, yeah, no magic, right, Marj?

Yes, with magic!

Oh, I hate it when she gets like this.

[Marjory] Let the radishes in the Gorgs' garden come to me.

-[screams] -Whoa! Take it easy.

-[grunts] -l don't understand.

How come we need all these radishes?

We don't need the radishes.

The Fraggles need radishes.

The Doozers need them.

The Gorgs need them.

You see? Huh. They all think they're completely different, one from the other.

Yeah, well, well, Gorgs and Doozers are kind of different.

Some ways different, some ways the same.

Take, for example, radishes.

Oh, this old gypsy Trash Heap

is going to bring a little harmony to this place. [laughing]

Uh, she's in one of her save-the-world moods.

-Hmm. -It will be a bad week.

Yeah, for one thing, there are all these radishes here to eat.

-[groans] -[laughs]

[Mokey] "Dear Diary,

tragically, I have not written in you for several days.

So, I think I'll write a sad poem about lost friendship."

Oh, Mokey, there you are. Then you haven't died in the night.

Died? No! [gasps]

But perhaps in the end of the poem.

Well, I was, I was down at the pantry to get a radish for my breakfast,

and since there are no radishes down there,

and it is your job to pick the radishes, I thought you had died.

Oh, Boober, I'm sorry. I forgot.

Well, I guess one does not live on art alone.

I'll go do it right away.

Nice of you to remember.

Oh, anytime.

Oh.

Hmm, ah.

Radishes and Doozer constructions.

It is so nice to have variety in the diet.

[Flange] "Dear Diary,

it's been an exciting week for me here in Doozer Hill.

I have a new job, working in the radish mines.”

-Morning. -Good morning.

[hums] Oops.

[groans]

[Flange] "After we have cut up the radish, we take the pieces to the mill,

where they are ground to radish dust.

And, of course, radish dust is the material

out of which our Doozer sticks are made.

And Doozer sticks are the building blocks of our castles.

And that's what my new job is like, Diary."

[Boober munching]

If I can't have radishes, Doozer constructions are almost as good.

-l wonder why that is. -[gong rings]

-To the radish mine! -[Doozer drumming and whistling]

Yes, chief!

I'm your wife, Wingnut.

Oh, you know I can't recognize you with that helmet on.

To the radish mine!

[Doozer whistles]

[birds tweeting]

Oh, rats. There's a Gorg in the garden.

[gasps] My son and princely hero.

[clicks tongue] I'm preparing a new batch

of the Gorgs' famous youth and beauty cream.

Oh, Ma, why are you always making new batches of youth and beauty cream?

You're already beautiful.

That's because we always use my cream.

Oh, yeah. [chuckles]

So I guess you want me to go and pick some radishes?

You can't make youth and beauty cream without radishes.

Then radishes it is, Ma.

[laughs]

Okay, little radishes.

Let me--

Ma! Ma!

Something terrible!

There are no radishes!

Oh, no!

No radishes? [squeaks]

[Doozers chattering]

[siren wailing]

Help! Help! It's a radish failure! Oh...

Now they all know. My plan is starting to work. [chuckles]

What's working? They're all in a panic.

That's temporary, boys.

When they see they share the problem,

they'll start to see how much alike they are.

You think so, huh?

Oh, the creatures of this world will all come together.

Boys, we're going to make something of this place.

I can feel the spirit rising.

That could be indigestion.

Yeah, these radishes are murder.

-[gasps] -No radishes?

-We better call a town meeting! -Good idea.

-But everyone would panic. -Bad idea.

-But it's time to panic. -Oh, good idea.

-Quiet, Wembley. -Oh, good idea.

A world without radishes.

Let's ask Gobo. He's sensible about this sort of thing.

-Good idea. -Gobo went exploring

down by the Singing Caverns.

-Oh. -He might not be here for days.

-Oh, no. -Then I guess it's up to me.

-I'm the radish-gatherer. -But radishes are the staff of life,

the sustainer of Fraggledom.

Ashes!

[crying] All is ashes!

Oh, Boober, try to be brave.

Now, take the Doozers, for instance.

They are absolutely unflappable.

They are different from us. If they were in trouble, would they panic?

[Doozers screaming]

There are no radishes!

Without radishes, we cannot build!

Oh, Flange, could this be the end of Doozerdom?

We are different than other creatures.

-We must build. -Why?

Because building is the greatest joy there is.

Well, other things must be nice, too.

Say, what are you, some kind of revolutionary?

But if we don't build, what... what can we do?

I know, I know, I could teach you to knit.

-[gasps] -[Doozer] Learn to knit?

Plant those radish seeds, boy. Faster!

I'm planting as fast as I can. Honestly, Daddy, what's the big problem?

I mean, so we don't have any of Ma's youth and beauty cream for a few weeks.

Aren't we beautiful enough?

That's not the point, son.

Listen, you're old enough to know the terrible truth.

What?

That stuff your mother makes out of radishes,

it's not really youth and beauty cream.

It's anti-vanishing cream.

Anti-vanishing cream? You mean--

Yes, if the Gorgs don't use it, we vanish.

No.

Turn invisible slowly from the head down.

[screams] I don't want my head to be invisible!

Then plant those radish seeds!

Yes, sir! Whoa!

Get in there, little radishes. Come on!

Don't shout.

I'll shout, I'll shout if I want to, and do you know why?

-Why? -Because I hate knitting!

I want to build!

-Right! Yeah, right! -Well, who took our radishes?

-The Fraggles. -The Fraggles took our radishes.

They eat them all the time. It's their fault!

[Mokey] “...and so, Diary, life gets worse and worse.

We haven't had a decent meal in three days.

We are slowly starving.

First, the Gorgs took our radishes, and then, for some unimaginable reason,

the Doozers stopped building. I don't--"

Wait a minute. I can't just write about this.

I've got to do something. Now.

-[Pa Gorg] I know it's-- -Uh-oh.

Here comes the king, and he's mad, look.

Junior! Where is that lad?

I'll tan his hide.

Oh, now, Pa, the radishes just vanished. It's not Junior's fault.

Oh, oh, maybe it's the Fraggles who took them.

Junior's in charge of the garden, isn't he?

Where is that boy?

-[Ma Gorg gasps] -Well, head, this is good-bye.

Soon, you will be invisible.

[gasps] Good-bye, chin.

Good-bye, nose. [honks]

I enjoyed every teensy-weensy, itsy-bitsy little sneeze.

[sobs] Good-bye, irresistible eyes.

-[Pa Gorg] Junior! -Huh?

[Pa Gorg] Where are you? I want to talk to you!

[gasps]

There you are. I want to see you!

Oh, no! I want to see you, too, Daddy, but I can't.

Well, I can feel you, but I can't see you.

Look me in the eye and say that.

Oh, I'd love to.

-[honks] -Oh, be careful of my nose!

[gasps] Oh, no.

-[Pa Gorg] Oh, no! -Oh, yeah, their heads are invisible!

[both] Your head is invisible.

Look at that. Your heads are invisible.

And that's what it's like out there, Marjory.

Boys, what are you telling me?

You mean, they still don't understand how much they have in common?

You are joking. All they are doing is blaming each other.

Yeah, they're just running around in circles.

They've completely lost their heads.

Some more than others, of course.

-[both laugh] -Oh.

Oh, I don't know, boys.

I try so hard, and still I can't bring them together.

Why do I bother?

Ashes. All is ashes.

Yeah, there's old Ned...

[whimpers]

wearing that awful sweater with the lime-green stripes.

[whimpers]

Ah, it's several days since we've talked to Shimmelfinney.

[whimpers]

Why is it you never do your Shimmelfinney imitation now?

Guess you've forgotten all about him.

Who needs him?

You? You mean, you miss Mr. Shimmelfinney?

[sighs]

Well, I'm amazed.

All I can say is...

so dol.

I don't know, Philo. I never seen her like this before.

Yeah, she hasn't said a word for hours.

Come on, Marjory, sweetheart. Speak to us.

Don't do this to yourself.

Just because you couldn't get the Fraggles and the Doozers

and the Gorgs to come together.

-She's not moving, Philo. -Oh, you think she's okay?

-I'm worried. -Oh.

-Um, excuse me. -[both gasp]

-I need to see the Trash Heap. -Go away.

-She can't see you. -Huh?

But she always sees us.

She isn't well.

Yeah, it's your kind that made her sick,

so go away and don't come back no more.

[sighs]

But then there's no hope for any of us.

-It's okay, little Fraggle, come back. -[Mokey] Oh!

-Marjory! -How are you?

Oh, Madam Heap, I know you're not feeling well, but--

Maybe I know more about your problem than you think.

Really? Then you know that the Fraggles are in trouble.

-The Fraggles? -Mm-hmm.

What about the Doozers? What about the Gorgs?

They caused the trouble.

They did not!

You see how it is. You haven't even noticed, have you?

Noticed what?

I've been trying to make you understand each other,

to bring you together.

Oh, uh, please. I don't understand.

I... I just know that the Fraggles are starving.

Okay. Listen up and listen tight.

-[wind howling] -[rats clamoring]

-You want your radishes back? -Uh-huh.

-Okay, you got radishes! -Really?

I'll work the magic,

but only if you and a Doozer and a Gorg meet together

in the Gorgs' garden at midnight.

Me and a Doozer and a Gorg?

-How? -Your problem. Make it happen.

But why?

So you can see how much alike you all are.

[chuckles] But, Madam Heap, a Doozer's just a little--

[both] The trash heap has spoken!

Yes, but-- [gasps]

-[wind howling] -Now, where'd we put those radishes?

I'm kinda hungry.

Oh, little Doozers!

Hmm, there's got to be Doozers here somewhere.

-There are always Doozers here. -[Doozer] Come on, guys.

Maybe the Fraggles left some radishes around here somewhere.

-[Doozer] Nah... -Somewhere. [gasps] Aha!

-Cheers! -Oh, this sweater itches!

[Mokey] Oh, little Doozers. I'm so glad I found you.

I've been looking all over for you.

-I need your help... -Just ignore her. Maybe she'll go away.

Come on, guys, it's just a Fraggle.

[Mokey] Please, you must listen. It's very important.

[shouts] All right!

Now! Listen up and listen tight!

-[gasps] -Huh?

The Fraggles' radishes have been taken.

Now I know this doesn't mean a thing to you.

But to us, it is everything.

The Trash Heap has promised to return the radishes,

but only if I bring a Doozer to the Gorgs' garden at midnight.

One of you must come.

Well, we'll talk about it, en?

-[Mokey] All right. -[Doozers chattering]

[chattering continues]

Uh, Flange will do it.

Um... Well... What is a Gorg, and what is a garden?

-[whispers] There they are. -[owl! hoots]

Oh, please, what's a Gorg like?

Well, well, it doesn't matter. The Trash Heap says we're all the same.

Now.

Ah, hello.

[nervously] Hello, Gorgs. Please come out.

Okay, listen up and listen tight! We got to see a Gorg

so the radishes will come back.

[Junior] The radishes will come back?

[both] Marjory! Marjory!

-Oh, you won't believe it! -It worked? They came together?

Well, they were all there.

Yeah, the Fraggles were there.

Yeah, the Doozers and the Gorgs were there.

Oh, boys, you don't have to tell me any more.

I can picture the whole thing.

There they were, together at last,

the Fraggles, the Doozers, the Gorgs.

Now, this is the way it was.

[Junior] Okay, where are the radishes?

-[gasping] A walking mountain. -[Junior muttering]

He has no head!

[all screaming]

[Flange] Don't leave me here! Come back, Fraggle! Wait!

And that is what really happened, Marjory.

Yeah, a disaster.

Hmm, was it a disaster?

I mean, the Fraggle did get the Doozer

to come to the garden with him,

-right? -Yeah.

And the Doozer did get the Gorg to come out and see him.

-True. -So they did what I asked,

the three of them together at last.

Well, actually, the two and a half of them.

Yeah, remember the Gorg's head?

Ah, close enough.

I mean, it may not be perfect, but it's a beginning.

[scoffs] Who knows? Why, maybe they'll even remember something from all of this.

[Pa Gorg] It's all your fault, Junior.

[Ma Gorg] Isn't it enough that our heads are invisible?

[Pa Gorg] And then you got to go chasing Fraggles in the middle of the night.

[Junior] Yeah, but you... Oh! Gee whiz, Daddy, I did--

What? Listen up and listen tight!

The radishes are back!

You're right, Sprocket. I should do it.

I should pick up that phone and call Ned Shimmelfinney and apologize.

-[telephone rings] -[gasps]

Hello? Hello, Ned.

-Shimmelfinney. He's calling to apologize. -[gasps]

Shimmelfinney?

[stammers] Shimmelfinney?

No, I don't believe I know anyone of that name.

[laughs] No, I'm only kidding, Ned.

I was just about to call you and apologize.

Look, why don't you come on over, and we'll play a game of Triple Cross.

Good, good. [chuckling] He's on his way over.

Oh, Sprocket, it'll be such a pleasure to shake his hand.

-[buzz] -[yelps]

[chuckling] A little joke for Ned Shimmelfinney.
