[Sprocket whimpering]

Aw.

Sprocket? Sprocket, wake
up. You're having a nightmare.

[whines]

Oh, there,
there. It's all right.

You're safe now.
It was just a dream.

[whimpering]

You saw a ghost? A goblin?

[whimpering]

And now you think the
workshop is haunted?

Sprocket. You've been
eatingpickled gherkins, haven't you?

Well, that's why you
had the nightmare.

Now, now, now, there
are no ghosts in here.

And I'll invent a ghost
detectorto prove it.

Yeah, I'll need a rheostatand
a couple of resistors.

[whimpering]

[sighs]

[sniffing]

It's no use, Wembley.

Why, between Uncle Matt and
I, there's nothing left to explore.

Well, um, what aboutthe
Crystal Cavern, Gobo?

Oh, we already mapped that.

Ah, there's nothing
for me to do.

[Wembley gasps]

-Oh! Oh! Oh! Gobo.-Yeah?

Mokey said to pick
upan extra radish today.

[sighs]

All I seem to be good for is goingto
the Gorgs' garden to get radishes.

-Oh.-Huh. Some explorer I am.

[groans]

[Junior Gorg groaning]

Oh, 'tis only for one night, O
empress of shadows and light.

No need to bring
half the kingdom.

Let me give you
a hand there, son.

And don't forget these
too, dear.-I'll take this one.

And don't forget these
too, dear.-I'll take this one.

My little beastie
of burden. [laughs]

-That'll be the other
half, Daddy.-Yeah.

Oh, egad. By the time we get
going, it will be time to come back.

Why, all this won't
even fitinside the cottage.

It'll sink into the swamp.

What kind of
vacation will that be?

Gorgs going on a vacation?

That's it. My problem is solved.

-I got the rope.-Got the rope.

-Pickax.-[all] Pickax.

Hey, Gobo, I haven't seen
youthis excited about an expedition

since you and your
uncle foundCrystal Cavern.

Oh, Gobo, can't you tell
uswhere you're going? Please?

[Wembley] Shh.

Hey, can't you seehe's
preparing mentally?

-[gasps]-[Boober] Mentally.

-Ooh.-Ooh.

-Wow.-Ooh.

Oh, come on, you guys. [sighs]

It's probably no place special.

Oh, that's where you're
wrong. It's special, all right.

-Yeah?-[Boober] Probably.

If you've seen one
cave, you've seen 'em all.

If you've seen one
cave, you've seen 'em all.

Well, you haven't seen this one.

-[gasps]-[growls]

Gobo, if you don't tell
uswhere you're going,

my eyeballs will pop
right out of my head!

[laughs] Okay, okay.

-Look...-What?

Remember when
I found that tunnel

that took me right
insidethe Gorgs' castle?

-Yeah.-Uh-huh.

Well, tonight, I'm going
insideand finish this map.

-[gasps]-You what?

Spending the night
in the Gorgs' castle?

Well, hey, it's all in a day... or
night's work, as the case may be.

[Wembley] Wow.

With a herd of rampaging
Gorgstrying to eat you alive.

Gorgs? Well, actually,
the Gorgs won't...

Oh, Gobo, you will be a hero.

Yeah.

-No, I won't.-Or dead.

No, I won't.

Or both.

Oh, Wembley, what
I'm doing isn't heroic.

I was on my way outto
get Mokey's radish...

Gobo, the first Fraggle to spend
the nightin the Gorgs' castle.

Gobo, the first Fraggle to spend
the nightin the Gorgs' castle.

And modest too.

-Oh, you'll go down in
Fraggle history.-[Red] Yeah.

-If you survive.-Mm-hmm.

Hey, come on. Let's spread
the wordabout Gobo's bravery.

-[Wembley] Yes!-Gorgs
will never know what hit 'em.

-No. Wait. Wait.-[all clamoring]

But... But... I'm gonna
be... alone in the castle.

Now, my son, while your mother's busy,
we have a chance to speak Gorg-to-Gorg.

There comes a time
in every Gorg's life,

and tonight is
that time for you.

Uh, what do you mean, Daddy?

Uh, come... come down here, son.

Your mother and Iare
going to the cottage alone.

You're old enough to spend
the nightin the castle by yourself.

I am? Oh, boy! Oh,
boy! Oh, boy![chucking]

Yes. And I, the lord of the
universe, ruler of fire and air,

entrust you, my son and heirto the throne,
entrust you, my son and heirto the throne,

with the solemn and sacred
taskof guarding the castle.

Oh, you won't be sorry.

Above all, you must
guard with your life

the most valuableof
all Gorgish possessions,

the crown jewel.

-That's the crown
jewel?-Of course it is.

Been handed downfrom
generation to generation.

Just as my father
gave itto me to protect,

now I give it to you.

Well, you can
count on me, Daddy.

[both laugh]

Now, since you are a grown
Gorg, we share the Gorgish oath.

[both] Inky-dinky-waddley-poo.

Noxy-nosey-giggley-goo.

Tiddley-pom. Tiddley-pom.

Tiddley-sis-boom-bah.

With a hey, nonny-nonnyand
a hot cha-cha.

[both laughing]

Egad. What's all this?

I have to bring my makeup.

After all, this is our second
honeymoon, isn't it, duckykins? [giggles]

After all, this is our second
honeymoon, isn't it, duckykins? [giggles]

Oh, bring anything you
want, my little sponge cake.

Uh, Junior can carry it.

But, Pa, you said
I wasn't going.

You're going, but
you're not staying.

And, Junior, don't make any
garlic popcornwhile we're gone.

Oh, Ma.

Oh, don't "oh, Ma" me.

You know garlic popcorngives
you an upset tummy

and you start seeing things.

And don't stay up late.

We'll be home
early in the morning.

Mm. But not too early,
eh, my little passion fruit?

[both laugh]

Imagine.

A romantic night at the cottage.

Ah, yes.

The swamp smells
wonderfulat this time of year.

-Mm. [chuckles]-Yuck.

-[Mokey] Uh-oh.-[Red] Whoa.

-[Mokey] Come on.-[both squeal]

[Pa Gorg] Okay,
Junior, let's get going.

Wait a minute.

- They're leaving.-Yeah.
- They're leaving.-Yeah.

The castle's gonna be empty.

So that's why Gobo
wanted to go tonight.

[growls] Some hero.

Red, Red, I know
that look in your eye.

Gobo thinksthere's
nothing to be afraid of.

Well, we'll show
himsomething to be afraid of.

-Well... Oh, come on. [growls]

Red!

Ha! Well, Wembley,
see you in the morning.

Oh, bye, Gobo.

[giggles]

Gosh. I'm gonna
be the best friend

to the greatest heroin the
history of Fraggle Rock.

And while he spends the nightin
the Gorgs' castle all by himself,

I'll be spending the night
in our roomall by myself.

Uh... [humming]

Now, let's see, if my
calculations are right,

it should be right
down this passage.

[Wembley panting]

Oh, Gobo, wait!
Wait! Stop, stop!

I... I don't wanna spend the
night alone. Can I come with you?

I... I don't wanna spend the
night alone. Can I come with you?

Oh, if you want to.

I know you're gonna be
busydodging those marauding Gorgs.

I won't get in your
way, I promise.

Wembley, listen, about those
Gorgs: They really won't be a problem.

Oh, I know.'Cause
you can handle 'em.

You're the bravest
Fraggle alive.

Uh, Wembley... Uh...

Gee, now I almost
wishthe Gorgs were home.

[gasps] What am I saying?

Oh, boy. Oh, boy. I got the
whole castle to myself now.

[laughs] I'm gonna stay up
lateand make lots of garlic popcorn

and do any other thingsl'm
not supposed to do.

Yeah. Before the fun can start, I
gotta find a safe place to keep it.

Uh... maybe there's
something in the shed.

Yeah. [chuckles] Ooh.

[door rattles]

[Gobo] Well, Wembley, here
we are, at the Gorgs' castle.

[grunting, sighs]

Wembley?

-Wembley.-Uh... yeah, Gobo?

Get in here.

You don't see any Gorgs, do you?

If I saw any Gorgs, would
I be standing out here?

Huh. Good point.

Wow!

Now, first thing to dois
make a base camp.

But, Gobo, the
Gorgs might see us.

-Wembley? Read my lips.-Huh?

There are no Gorgs.

-Oh.-Now, come on.
Let's check this room.

[whimpers]

[chuckles]

This old chest will be the perfect
placeto stash the crown jewel.

Ooh, better lock the door.

One never knows,
do one? [giggling]

Now, I'll just put
thison the table in the...

Oh, I forgot. The table's at the cottage.
Oh, I forgot. The table's at the cottage.

And so are the chairs.

Well, I'll just put it right here. Then
I won't be able to forget about it.

[chuckles]

Ooh. Now time to make
some garlic popcorn.

[chuckles]Oh, boy.
Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

[Wembley whimpers]

Wembley, you've gotta stopseeing
Gorgs around every corner.

-Just calm down.
Calm down.-Oh, all right.

-[screams] Gobo!-Wembley.

This thing wasn't here
before. I know it. It wasn't.

It must have been.
We just didn't notice it.

-Oh, sure.-Wembley.

-What?-Look at that
neat Gorgish artifact.

-[crash]-[screams]

We're gonna be eaten
alive! Let's get out of here!

[yelling]

Gobo, what are you
doing? Hurry! Hurry!

Maybe it's not the best
nightto map the Gorg castle.

I'll say.

But at least we can take
backthis neat Gorgish artifact.

Okay, let's go.

-[spooky voice]-[gasps]

Gobo, listen. [pants]

-[ghostly screaming]-The
Gorgs are down there too!

Wembley, there are no Gorgs.

- No Gorgs. No Gorgs. None.-None.
- No Gorgs. No Gorgs. None.-None.

-Nowhere.-Nowhere.

Okay, okay, okay.

But if there are no Gorgs, Gobo,

that means the castle is...

[both] ...haunted.

-[clattering]-[whimpering]

Oh, that'll teach hotshot
hero Goboa lesson.

Yeah. I guess.

Making spooky sounds scared
Goboand Wembley right out of their skins.

Of course it did.

It's all right here in my edition
ofFright and Terror for the Faint of Heart.

Ooh! Let's go inside and have
some funwith that black ball.

Gobo thinks he's taking it
backfor the museum. Ha! Come on.

Wait. Are you insane? That
is the Gorgs' castle in there.

Well, Boober, the Gorgs
aren't home, remember?

-Yeah.-Well, there's
still Gorg germs in there.

-What... I'm
getting out of here.

Okay. Too bad you'll missthe
famed Gorg gourmet pantry.

A pantry. The...

Pantry?

Gosh. It must be huge.

[both] Huge.

Well, if you're sure it's safe.

Boober, it's perfectly safe. There
isn't a Gorg anywhere near here.

Boober, it's perfectly safe. There
isn't a Gorg anywhere near here.

-Yeah. Come on.-Come on.

-Mm. Okay.-Here we are.

[gasps]And there's
Gobo and Wembley. Ha!

Ooh, uh, let's hide over there.

Oh. Yeah. Okay.

Wembley, don't be scared.

It was probably just the
windthat made that noise.

Look, it's getting
kind of stormy outside,

and there are no Gorgs around,
and the castle is not haunted.

There are no Gorgs, and
the castle is not haunted.

It's not working, Gobo. I
just don't believe myself.

Well, here. Let me read
you the latest postcard

from my Uncle Travelling Matt.

That'll calm you down.

After tonight, I'll
never be calm again.

"Dear Nephew Gobo"...
[Matt] The other day... [squeals]

I was astounded to discoverthat
there are Gorgs here in Outer Space.

Here was my chanceto map
the inside of a Gorg's castle.

[grunts]

As luck would have it, I am the
bravest Fraggle in Outer Space.

[door closes]

As I was calmly going about my business,
a rather interesting thing happened.

-[telephone rings]-[shrieks]

Someone... or something...
started ringing bells.

But I wasn't afraid.

[whimpering, gasps]

-[clock chimes]-[yells]

So your old Uncle
Mattmade a decision.

[gasps]

[exhales]

[nervous chuckle]

[shrieks]

I would map the
castle from memory.

- "Love, your Uncle Travelling Matt."
- [Wembley snoring]

Well, time to get busy mapping
this place, huh, Wembley?

[Wembley snores]

Oh, well, you just stay here at base
campand keep an eye on that black ball.

[sighs]

-[crashing]-[Junior
Gorg coughing]

Well, another batch of
garlic popcornup in smoke.

[chuckles] Maybe I should use
morepeanut butter. Yeah, that's it.

-[Wembley snoring]-Shh.
Don't wake Wembley up.

Gobo wanted to take
this backfor the museum.

This'll drive him
crazy. [laughs]

-Um, Red...-Now,
where can we hide it?

Uh, look.

-Perfect.-Yeah.

[both laughing]

Oh.

-[Red chuckles] Oh,
boy.-What kind of room is that?

-It must be some kind
of Gorg closet.-Ooh.

Let's go find their pantry.

You know, just one Gorg
trufflewould last me a whole year.

-Yeah. Mm-hmm.-Oh.

[all grunting]

[giggling]

-[Junior yells]-[crash]

[Wembley screaming]

Whoa, Wembley,
did you hear that?

Hear it? I practically swallowedmy
tongue. Let's get out of here.

Hear it? I practically swallowedmy
tongue. Let's get out of here.

Well... I... I can't leave.

This is my only
chanceto map the castle.

Oh, it was probably
just the storm.

-[grunting]-See?

Oh, sure, sure.

It might also be a herd of
Gorgsgetting ready to roast our giblets.

I keep telling you,
it can't be Gorgs.

-[groans]-Hey.

-What?-Where's the black ball?

It's gone. Oh, Gobo, it keeps
gettingworse and worse and worse.

Wembley, I'm not leaving
herewithout that black ball.

-But... Come on.

[groans]

Well, accidents will happen.

I hope Mommy doesn't noticethe
peanut butter on the ceiling. [laughs]

But at least I got my popcorn.

[gasps] Oh, no. The crown jewel.

Why, it... it's gone.

I've been robbed.

Wait. The door.

It's still locked.

That means the
thiefis still in the castle?

Oh, no.

Well, I made my
promise, and I must keep it.

I gotta find it beforeMommy
and Daddy get back.

I gotta find it beforeMommy
and Daddy get back.

Thief? Oh, thief.

There's some very good advice in
this bookabout mysterious explosions.

-Get away from them!-Oh!

I can't find that ball anywhere.

Gobo, wasn't there a holeto
Fraggle Rock here someplace?

-[yelling]-[Gobo] You're right.

[all yelling]

-[screaming]-Move!

Is that you, thief?

[gulps] Good thingl
brought some protection.

-[thunder]-[yells]
What was that?

Maybe the thief is
hiding in the armor.

O-Okay, thief.

[stammers] Stick 'em up.

I got you covered.

The... The jig is up.

[whimpers]

[exclaims]

Oh, maybe Mommy was
rightabout garlic popcorn.

Maybe I'm seeing
thingsand hearing things too.

Oh, where did you
go, crown jewel?

Daddy's gonna be awful
madif you don't come home.

Daddy's gonna be awful
madif you don't come home.

[both screaming]

-[spluttering]-Fraggles!

-More Fraggles.-[whimpering]

[yells]

[clock chiming]

[rattling]

The crown jewel. You came back.

Wait a minute.

You're the jewel thieves.

-Who?-[stammers] Us?

[all] And you're the ghost?

You mean, all those
noises, that was you?

And you?

And you?

It was just Fraggles
all along. [laughs]

Wait a minute. Wait a
minute. If you guys were the...

And you made all the...

Then... what's that?

-[Junior gasps]-[thunder]

[Sprocket snoring]

[machine whirring]

Sprocket's settled
down now, Ned.

But I'll let you in
on a little secret.

The ghost detector
I invented is a fake.

Yes. Oh, I just threw together

a lot of old junkl had
lying around the workshop

so Sprocket would
think it works.

And this way, Sprocket doesn't
worryabout the workshop being haunted.

[chuckles] Yeah, well...

it's time for meto
turn in, Ned. Goodbye.

[thunder]

[siren wailing]

-[barks]-Sprocket.
Sprocket. Sprocket.

It just can't be ghosts.

It just can't.

[Sprocket whimpering]

[siren wailing]

[Gobo] Anybody
see anything else?

-[Red] Just lots of wind and
lightning.-[Junior] Maybe it's a thief.

-Or a ghost.-[Wembley] Or both!

We have movedto a
new level of anxiety here.

If Mommy and Daddy were
here, they'd know what to do.

If Mommy and Daddy were
here, they'd know what to do.

[Mokey] Well, they're not.
So you have to take care of it.

And that's supposedto
make me feel better?

Oh, what do I do now?

I've got to protect the jewel.

I've got an idea.

Oh, well.

It looks like I must have
beenseeing things after all.

I guess I might
as well go to bed

after I put this, the
Gorg crown jewel,

back in its safe hiding
place inside this chest.

[imitates yawning]

Boy, am I tired.

What a night.

Shh. Here he comes.

-Just don't let go, okay?-Right.

[Boober] Now!

-[yelling]-[thud]

Aha!

-Got you. We did it.-Ow.

We captured the dastardly
jewel thief.[laughs] The...

Oh, no. It's Pa.

[laughs] Son, I'm proud of you.

Well, thanks.

But what are you doing here, Daddy?
Why aren't you back at the cottage?

I was just helping you
fulfillthe ancient rites of passage

of every boy Gorg.

[stammers] What did I do?

You have protected
the crown jewel.

You have passed the sacred test
You have passed the sacred test

and have kept the
honorof the Gorgs intact.

And for this, you ruinedour
second honeymoon?

You know how important...

Thanks a lot, Daddy. But I
couldn't have done it without help.

Huh? Help?

From whom and whence?

Why, from them and thence.

[gasps] Fraggles!

-[Gobo] Let's get out
of here.-[all yelling]

[panting]

So much for making usthink
you'd be a hero, Gobo.

I never said that. I tried to tell
youthat the Gorgs were going away.

What? Huh. I guess
we weren't listening.

Oh, don't worry about it. This
way, we all get to be heroes.

Yeah. [laughs]

[siren wailing]

-[grunts]-[siren stops]

Aha!

Just as I thought, there's a
short circuitin the ghost detector.

And that's what made it go off.

You see, there's
nothing to worry about.

There are no ghosts.

Well, unlessa ghost
caused the short circuit.

Well, unlessa ghost
caused the short circuit.
