Wembley, Boober, Red!

A Fraggle!

Hey, look, Ma.

I caught a Fraggle!

Dance your cares away

Down at Fraggle Rock.

Well, Sprocket, soon we'll be
ableto scrape the bottom of any barrel.

If I had a barrel, I'd show you.
You see, that's what this is for.

It takes 685 nailsto get
the proper scraping action.

And one stave shaver.

Every good barrel
scraperneeds a stave shaver.

Only 94 more nails to go.

Come on, Boober.

You said you'd help. All
you have to do is whistle.

But Gobo, what
if I get too scared?

Just do like we practiced.

And keep watch while I get the
postcardfrom my Uncle Travelling Matt.

Okay.

Now, remember, if the
beast sees me, whistle.

It's easy.

Unless I get too scared.

Ninety.

Boober, you forgot to whistle.

Sprocket!

Hey, that's my stave shaver!

Sprocket, you
better find it for me.

Don't argue! You just find it!
Don't argue! You just find it!

Where is that stave shaver?

I'm warning you, Sprocket,
if you don't find it for me,

no more Mongrel
Munchiesfor you for a week.

Boober! The beast almost
got me, and it's all your fault.

But Gobo, I was scared.

You were scared?
How do you think I felt?

Hey, I almost
didn't get back alive.

Wait a minute.

Do you mean that because
of me, you almost got c...

Clobbered by that
beast. You bet.

It was frightening,
I can tell you.

But... I struggled through.

Come on.

Ah, Boober, don't
worry about it.

Gobo, I don't know what to say.

Aw, forget it. Just say: Hi-low!
Aw, forget it. Just say: Hi-low!

Inny-minny-cow-cow!

-Oom-chow-chow!-Pee-wow-wow!

Ekto-minny-oxide!

Boom-dee-eh dee-i
dee-oh dee-yoo-hoo!

Hey, come on. Let's go.

You go on ahead.
I'm too dangerous.

Hey, Mokey. I'm back.

Absolutely identical.

What?

The Doozers are building towers.

And each one is exactly
the sameas the other.

Forget about the Doozers.
Hey, look what I found.

Oh, gee.

-What is it?-Got me.
What do you think?

Well, it's obviously a...

A, um...

A Doozer gong! Yes!

Not bad.

-I knew Doozers were
good for something.-Yeah.

-That was pretty
good.-That's not bad.

That's so good. That's
something to dance to.

-Yeah!-Oh! Look who's here.

-Uh-oh.-Oh, hey. Uh...

What's wrong with him?

I'm a worthless coward.
That's what's wrong.

Boober. Now, Boober.

It takes a very brave Fraggleto
admit he's a worthless coward.

-That's right.-Right.

Yeah.

What?

Ah well, Boober,
so the secret's out.

You're a worthless coward.

-Right?-Yeah. Yeah.

So, what are you
gonna do about it?

Nothing?

Listen, you ought to
go seethe Trash Heap.

Sure.

-She'll make you brave.-Brave.

-She'll make you bold.-Bold.

You'll never be scared.

-But I'm scared of the
Trash Heap.-Me, too.

Then I'll go with you.
Come on. Come on, Boober.

-But I'm... Come on! We're
going to the Trash Heap.

-Yeah.-Come on. You'll love it.

Come on, Boober.
The coast is clear.

Come on.

Nothing to be afraid of. Trash
Heap will know what to do.

Oh, come on!

Yeah, so I'm gonna spend
two weeksat my auntie.

I'm gonna stay
here and clean up.

Ahoy there!

-Oh! You're in the presence
of... The all-knowing...

Trash Heap!

Hello.

Watch this. Nothing to it.

Please, ma'am...

My friend has a problem.

Well, please, ma'am...

Well... Can you make me
brave and daring and bold?

Brave, daring, and
bold. That's easy.

Easy?

You've gotta be nuts!

Oh, yes. You're right.
Now, that's a tough one.

What is the answer,
oh, mighty Trash Heap?

Yeah! Spit it out, Marjory!

Always wear a hat.

Always wear your hat?

You know, Marjory,
that makes a lot of sense.

-It does?-No, but
we'll sell it for you.

Hit it, Gunge.

Well, you can go take a bath

Figure out math

Eat a Doozer tower
on the garden path

But you can't do
that Sing it, Marjory.

What? Fraggles!

I'll get you, Fraggles!

Without a hat

All right, stand
back, step aside.

Move it or lose it.
The Boober is back.

What happened to him?

The Trash Heap changed his
life. She told him to wear his hat.

But he always wears his hat.
But he always wears his hat.

Oh, yeah.

But now it's different.
The Trash Heap said so.

Allow me to demonstratemy
newfound bravado.

Hey, you!

Oh, no!

Is that your nose, or did
you swallow a trumpet?

You don't scare
me. You know why?

Because I've got my ha-ha...

Oh, no!

What's wrong, little
Boober? Are you hurt?

My hat is gone!

-Are you sure?-Oh!

Hats don't just walk away.

I want my hat!

It made me brave
and daring and bold!

Boober, don't worry.

Why, we'll call a meetingand
get everyone to look for your hat.

Why, we'll call a meetingand
get everyone to look for your hat.

-Yeah!-I hate meetings.

-Well, we love 'em!-Yeah!

-Let's go!-Fraggle,
Fraggle, Fraggle, Fraggle.

My life is ruined, and
they call a meeting.

It's a cruel business.

I call this meeting to order.

We are gathered here todayto talk
about finding young Boober's cat.

It's not cat. It's hat.
Young Boober's hat.

Whatever. Anyway, can we find it?
Whatever. Anyway, can we find it?

-No. Uh-uh. No.-Well, I
vote we look in the pantry.

Yeah!

Delicious! Delightful
idea! To the pantry.

-To the pantry!-Yes!

Fraggle, Fraggle, two by four

Let's go through the pantry door

Go through thin
and go through fat

Let's go look for Boober's hat

But my hat just isn't there

Then let's go find a juicy pear

If that juicy pear is gooey

Let's go find some
chicken chop suey

If that chicken
chop suey is tough

Let's go find some stroganoff

If that stroganoff is bony
Let's go find some macaroni

Macaroni is too long Let's
go sing a different song

Hey!

But I'm telling you, my
hat is not in the pantry.

But lunch is. I'm starving.

Lunch! Don't you understand?
Lunch! Don't you understand?

My hat is gone!

I'm going into my hole,
and I'm never coming out.

-Boober.-It's no use. Goodbye.

We'd better do
something about this.

Well, I've got an ideathat
will help cheer him up.

And it'll only take a minute.

Okay, g*ng, let's
find Boober's hat.

-Yeah!-Right.

Poor Boober.

It's just terrible that he gets so
upsetover things like this, but...

This is gonna cheer him up.

Yes.

Wow! That's funny!

Something's wrong
with these Doozers.

Now, these towers are absolutely straight,
Now, these towers are absolutely straight,

but these towers
are all crooked.

Stop!

It's all wrong.
Something's not working.

Roll call!

-Angle.-Here.

-Board.-Here.

-Derrick.-Here.

Flex.

Flex!

I knew something was
wrong. Where is Flex?

We do not know. He
was here a minute ago.

But he's not here now.

Flex... is missing.

-Flex!-Flex!

Where could he be?

Hello! Yoo-hoo!

This is Flex. Can anyone hear me?
This is Flex. Can anyone hear me?

Where is everyone?

I was marching along. And
suddenly, all light vanished.

Then I entered a thick
cloud of... hair tonic.

Oh, help!

Yoo-hoo! Where is everybody?

Yoo-hoo!

Hey, Boober, how's it going?

-Your hat's still lost.-Mmm-hmm.

I brought you the latest
cardfrom my Uncle Travelling Matt.

I thought it would cheer you up.

"Dear Nephew Gobo, sometimes
exploring is exhausting..."

The other day, I was
sitting down to rest my feet

and wipe off the
grime of traveling

when one of the Silly Creaturesin
this world approached me.

"Oh, you poor man!" she said."You
look like you could use this."

And then she gave mea
most unexpected present.

It was a beautiful, flat,
shiny object, a real treasure.

I was so overcomewith
this magnificent gift

I was so overcomewith
this magnificent gift

that I ran to show
it to someone.

Unfortunately, he liked
it so muchthat he took it.

I'd given up my treasure!
But all was not lost.

This generous creature gave me yet
anotherand even more interesting treasure.

It was soft to the touchand
smelled utterly fantastic.

Just then, one of the small, furry
beaststhat inhabit this world came along.

So I showed him my treasure.

If there's one thing I've
learnedin this bizarre world,

it's that treasures
come and treasures go.

"Of course, this time I ended
upwith nothing less than I started with.

So I didn't really
lose anything, did I?

I hope all is well back home.
Love, your Uncle Travelling Matt."

Wasn't that great, Boober?

I sure do like Uncle Matt's
postcards, don't you, Boober?

Hey, did you see what I...

What is that?

Where is my hat?

Oh, good, Boober.
You're still here.

I'll be here until I die.
Give me ten minutes, tops.

It's okay, Boober.
I made you a hat.

Wear it in good health.

Red, do you really thinkBoober's
hat is going to be up here?

Well, we've looked everywhere else,
and we must search every crevice,

no matter how... perilous.

Do me a favor, Wembley.

-What?-See if you
can see the hat.

Why me?

Because you're closer.
Because you're closer.

I see they've deliveredthe
barrel, Sprocket.

And it needs a good scraping, too.
Have you found the stave shaver?

Well, no more Mongrel
Munchies for you.

But I bought you
a big, juicy bone.

Sorry. You're not
getting that, either.

You find that stave
shaver. I need it.

I need my hat.

How can I possibly be
going backto the Trash Heap,

and by myself?

I must be crazy.

Dum-dum dee-dee

It's a Gorg!

To the garden, doo-doo-day

I'm getting nowhere.

Oh, please, won't
someone give me a sign?

Oh, wait. I see writing.

Yes, it's faint, but it says,
"Six and three-eighths."

"Six and three-eighths?"

That's a sign?

Hey, I found Boober's hat.

Well, what do you know?

Thank heavens! I'm saved!

Well, I've got to
be going now. Bye.

Gobo!

Oh, hey, Boober,
look, I found your hat.

Gobo, look out!
Here comes a Gorg!

-I'll get you Fraggles!-Run!

Hey, you Fraggles! I'll get you!

Hey, look out behind you!

What? Hey, wait!
Get back here, you!

Now we've lost Gobo.

Hey, look! I found Boober.

And Gobo found my hat.

No. His hat found me.

Boy, I didn't knowthat I
would miss my hat so much.

You don't know how
it tastesUntil you try

You don't know how
to laughUntil you cry

You don't know where you've
beenUntil you're homeward bound

And you don't know what
you've lostUntil it's found

Once I thoughtThe
world was made for me

Once I thought experience
was free Sing it, Mokey.

Never knew you have to pay the price
Never knew you have to pay the price

Then I foundYou
sometimes pay it twice

Oh, you don't knowHow
it tastes until you try

You don't know how
to laughUntil you cry

You don't know where you
beenUntil you're homeward bound

And you don't know what
you've lostUntil it's found

Now I've done some
living and I know

-Tell us about it!-Everything
you gain is bound to go

That's true.

Well, then one dayMy
luck just turned around

It'll do that!

The thing I loved and
lostls lost and found

Oh, you don't knowHow
it tastes until you try

You don't know how
to laughUntil you cry

You don't know where you've
beenUntil you're homeward bound

And you don't know what
you've lostUntil it's found

And you don't know what
you've lostUntil it's found

One more time!

You don't know how
it tastesUntil you try

You don't know how
to laughUntil you cry

You don't know where you've
beenUntil you're homeward bound

And you don't know what
you've lostUntil it's found

Here we go.

Yodel away, guys!

Well, Boober, you know
something? You saved my life.

If it hadn't been for you, why,
that Gorg would have thumped me.

-Oh, well, gee, I...
You were brave.

Brave.

-You were daring.-Daring!

And you did it all
without your hat.

Yeah.

Gosh.

I'm free! I'm free!

-Yay!-I knew you
could do it, Boober!

I knew you could be brave!

-That was so
wonderful.-Thank you.

There! All finished, Sprocket.

And I figured outhow to
make my barrel scraper

without that stave shaver.

Well, it's obviously
better this way, too.

That just goes to show you, one
dog's loss is a barrel scraper's gain.

Here we go.
