We're Gobo, Mokey,
Wembley, Boober, Red!

A Fraggle!

Hey, look, Ma.

I caught a Fraggle!

Dance your cares away

Worry's for another
day Let the music play

Down at Fraggle Rock

Down at Fraggle Rock.

Well, there it is
again, Sprocket.

Further proof dogs cannot
flyunder their own power.

I think it's commendableyou
want to be an inventor, Sprocket.

I'm honored that my dog
wishesto follow in my footsteps,

but the computer proves it's
impossiblefor you to fly in that rig.

If you look at the screen, you'll
see it's impossible for you to fly

with those wings.

Four?

A coefficient of four
bisectingthe interstitial ratio?

Well, if you say so.

Sprocket, you are a
genius. Look at that formula.

You've proved it! Dog can fly.

-On the count of
three...-Yes, yes, yes.

- One, two, three.-Yes. Two, two, two.
- One, two, three.-Yes. Two, two, two.

Three. Yes, yes, yes. Oh, rats!

Red, how can you do that?

-Well, what can I tell you,
Wembley?-I don't know.

The three-rock hand balancetakes
practice, dedication, and hard work.

Well, I've been practicing,
I'm filled with dedication

and I'm tired from
all the hard work.

Well, I've been practicing all
morning, and I just learned to do it

a little while ago.

Well, I'll never
be able to do it.

Well, let's face it...

Maybe three-rock
hand balancing is a gift.

-You either got it or
you don't.-Yeah, maybe.

And since I got it, I'm
gonna go show it off to Gobo.

-You keep practicing,
Wembley.-Great.

-Don't let it get you down.-Yeah,
yeah. Must be neat to have a gift.

Red can show off by doing tricks, and
Gobo shows off by exploring, and he...

Hi, little Spiderfly.

You see, even you have a gift.

You can fly.

Imagine, to be able to
fly. What a wonderful gift.

Imagine, to be able to
fly. What a wonderful gift.

Be careful, little
guy, don't land there,

that's a snareblossom
flower, it's sticky.

Now look what you've
done. Here, let me help.

Okay, okay, there you go now.

Take off! Fly! Shoo!
Shoo! Stay away.

-What in the... Well
done! And well done!

-I owe you a wish.-Wait
a second, who are you?

I'm a Spiderfly.

-Some of us are magical, you
know.-No, no, I didn't know that.

Yes, well, there are many thingsin
the Rock undreamt of in your...

whatchamacallit, young Fraggle.

Me, when I am
helped out of trouble,

I change into a
beautiful fairy godmother.

I also grant wishes.

But you're nota
beautiful fairy godmother.

What?

I'm not a beautiful fairy
godmother? No, I'm not.

Change of plan. Change of plan.

Yes, I'm currently wearingmy
odd old man disguise.

It's all the same,

-don't worry, the wishes
still work, yes.-Uh-huh.

-Where is it? Where is
it?-What are you looking for?

My notebook.

-Uh-huh.-Yes. I always
keep strict accounting

of all the wishes I grant.

-Uh-huh.-Now, what
would you like to wish for?

Well, I'd like a toasted
radish sandwich, please.

-You would not.-But
you said anything I want.

Exactly! And you don't
want that. Now, try again.

A button for my
banana tree shirt?

No.

-A new guitar pick for Gobo?-Will
you stop pussyfooting around?

I'm asking for your innermost,
passionate, burning desire.

We just met and I didn't wannainconvenience
you with any major requests.

It's all the same to me,
and what you want to do is...

-Uh-huh?-...fly.

Well, sure. But
Fraggles can't fly.

Why do I always get the troublemakers?
Why do I always get the troublemakers?

-What?-If you want
to fly, you get to fly.

That must be the most super
thingthere is to do. Flying is freedom.

Soaring and swooping through
the air, flying high over the Rock...

Wait a minute,
what are you saying?

Now stop rhapsodizing
and start flying.

I can fly, I can fly!

Too bad you can't land.

By the way, that's one.

Pardon?

I forgot to tell
you a small detail.

You can only fly three times.

-Only three?-That was one.

Only two?

Oh, drat.

I'm about to turn
back into a Spiderfly.

I can always tell, I
get hungry for bugs.

Yeah?

And now I must bid you a fond...
And now I must bid you a fond...

a fond...

See you around.

Goodbye. The Spiderfly!

I can fly! I can fly,
I can fly, I can fly...

Wait till they see.
They won't believe it.

I'll be the talk of the Rock.
Something I can show off to everyone.

At last!

Now, watch this
three-stonehand balance, Gobo.

One, two... Guess what I can do!

Wembley, don't do that.

You scared the
baloobious off of me.

I was showing Gobomy
three-stone hand balance.

Yeah.

Well, you think
that's a big deal?

Wait till I show you
what I can doto show off.

-I can fly.-That's crazy.

Fraggles can't fly.

I know you think
it's impossible,

but when you hear my
story, you'll believe me.

But when you hear my
story, you'll believe me.

Okay.

-Let's hear your
story.-Okay, well. Okay...

First, I found a Spiderfly trappedin
a snareblossom and I freed it.

Then the Spiderflyturned
into an odd old man,

who was really a
fairy godmother.

So the odd old man said she could grantme
a wish and I said, "A radish sandwich!"

And she said, "No, bigger!"And
I said, "Flying," so I can!

Just wait till I show youthis
three-stone hand balance, Gobo.

-Are you gonna be
impressed.-Okay. Listen.

I'll show you, I will now take
offand fly around the room!

-Okay?-Wembley, have
you ever done this before?

Once. In fact, I can
only do it twice more.

Wait a minute. I
better not waste it.

I have to fly in front
of all my friends!

Okay, Wembley, we're all here.

Okay, now I will leap out of this
windowand fly once around the Great Hall.

-What?-Wembley, that window

-is about a jillion Doozer
towers high.-Yeah!

I know, I know!

It'll give me a chanceto
do a graceful dive

It'll give me a chanceto
do a graceful dive

straight toward the ground,

and then I'll pull up inchesfrom
the rocky floor and I'll zoom up, up.

The wind rushing through my
fur, the ceiling streaking toward me.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

Wembley, Wembley, what
Red is trying to say here is,

-what if you can't fly?-Yeah.

Well, but I can. I was
granted the power.

By an odd old manwho
was a fairy godmother, right?

-Right!-Yeah.

I think he may have been bittenby
the gaga bugs. There's no antidote.

Wembley, when you flew
before, how far did you fly?

Let's see, from about
here to about there.

-Yeah.-Wembley,
that's not flying.

That's called jumping.

Okay. I can understandwhy
you wouldn't believe me,

so I'll just have to prove
itby leaping out of the window.

So I'll just have to prove
itby leaping out of the window.

Here goes the flying Fraggle!

Hey, everybody. Watch
what I'm going to do.

Hold it!

Red, Red! Red,
what are you doing?

I just wanna show off.

-Everybody else gets to show
off.-I'm saving you, Wembley.

You don't believe I can fly.

Wembley, Wembley.
Just think about it now.

No Fraggle's ever flown.
It's very hard to believe you.

Well, it's true, and I'm a
friend, and I wouldn't lie,

but just forget
it. Just forget it!

Do you mind?

I know who my true
friends are! Come on, Gobo.

We'll go somewhereand I'll
show off just for you. Come on.

Wem...

Wembley, maybe it would
be betterif you didn't try to fly.

Gobo! Do you mind?

-Not you too?-Well, I just...

I'm leaving now, and
I'm never coming back!

I'm leaving now, and
I'm never coming back!

Yes, I know we've theoretically
proventhat a dog can fly with those things,

but that's not the same as going out
thereand jumping off the garage roof.

Something could go wrong.

Well, I know you told Fluffinella
the catyou were going to do it,

but that's just showing
off. It's not worth it.

Sprocket, stay!

For once, I'm pulling rank.

As master, I forbid
you to jump off that roof.

Leaving

Grieving

Why did they send me away?

I packed up my heart
in my hankie today

Packed my hopes for a
startThen I went on my way

My dreams and my
schemesAre my luggage it seems

'Cause nobody wants me to stay

Nobody cares if
I'm lonely or blue

There's only
myself to whisper to

I packed up my hankie to go

I'm leaving forever, I know

'Cause nobody cares
if I comeOr I go or I cry

It's time to depart

I packed up my heart

It's time to depart

I packed up my heart and goodbye

Hi, Gobo. He's really gone?

Soon as he left us,
he came back here,

packed... and disappeared.

Did he take all his things?

He only has one
spare banana tree shirt.

-Wembley packed his
thing and left.-I know, I know.

And he only took
one radish sandwich.

That's only enough to keep
him goingfor maybe half a day.

No! Poor little Wembley.

Maybe we should've humored him.

If we had humored him,
he would have ended up

a little green pancake on
the floorof the Great Hall.

That nearly happened to me once.

-What do you mean, Uncle
Matt?-Don't encourage him.

Well, I got myself into troublewhen
I tried to do the impossible.

Are you saying you
tried to fly, Uncle Matt?

Not quite, not quite.

I was on a beach in Outer
Spacedoing my exercises...

One. One.

Two.

Ten.

When I suddenly noticedthat
Silly Creatures had the ability

to walk on water.

Furthermore, they
were very good at it.

They walked and walked on that
water, showing off shamelessly.

Uncle Matt, are
you pulling my tail?

Red, shh! Uncle
Matt tells it like it is.

Indeed. After a word of consultationwith
one of the Silly Creatures,

I, too, tried to walk on water.

And I made a great
discovery that day.

Fraggles are meant to walk
with their feeton the ground.

Anything else is just a dream.

Maybe it was just a dream.
Maybe I can't really fly.

Maybe it was just a dream.
Maybe I can't really fly.

Okay.

Oh, I can really fly, yeah!

That's two.

Great crawling caterpillars,
man! Get on with it, will you?

I beg your pardon?

How long does it take
youto use up a wish?

I told you you could fly three
times, and you've still got one to go.

Please, sir...

-Ma'am! I've got
problems.-No one is perfect.

I can't leave unused
wisheslying around loose.

I thought you wanted to fly.

I did, I did. It was so I
could show off to my friends.

My friends wouldn't let me
fly. They didn't believe me.

So, find someone who will
believe youand fly for them.

What I'd give for
a bug right now.

Yeah, of course.

I just have to find
someonewho will believe me.

Well, of course we believe
you.-I'm overwhelmed with belief.

Well, of course we believe
you.-I'm overwhelmed with belief.

You gotta get up pretty
earlyin the morning

-not to believe a
thing like that.-Yes!

Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy!
Now I get to show off my gift.

But, little Wembley, if this
is the only time you can fly,

you should take
full advantage of it.

How do you mean, Marlon?

When you fly, could I tie a banneron
your toe to flutter along behind?

It would read, "Elect
Marlon King of the Fraggles."

No, no, wait a second!
Look, if you're gonna fly,

you should fly to the Gorgs'
gardenand scare the fur off of them.

No, wait, please!

If you can only fly once,
would you give me a ride?

-Well... I'll just kind of
cuddle up in your arms.

I'll get the banner. I can
make it worth your while.

Ridiculous! It'd be
great, furless Gorgs!

What a waste!

-Now, wait a minute.-No, wait!

No, listen to me.

-Wembley, there you
are.-You're just in time.

Wembley's gonna fly for us.

-Yes.-No, he can't do that!

Yeah, he's giving me a ride.
Yeah, he's giving me a ride.

-No, he's going to carry my banner.-No,
he's gonna scare the fur off of 'em.

-He can't. He has
to promise us.-Yeah.

-But he has to, he already promised
us.-Yeah, he did. He promised us.

-Gobo, do something. He's your
roommate.-Yeah, he'll listen to you.

Wait a minute.

No, leave him. Look,
he's gonna do it.

This is worse than before.

Don't say it. Don't say it.

You're madbecause I
haven't used my wish yet.

Well, a mere Fraggle cannot
violatethe underlying cosmic laws

of the universe.

Haven't you read the
rule bookon this subject?

Haven't you read the
rule bookon this subject?

-No.-Where is it?

"How To Cook A Bug".

Wrong book.

A little present from
my husband… Wife.

Either way, I don't care
about flying anymore.

What? Moments ago...

Well, hours ago...

Well, once, you told me
you could hardly wait to fly

so you could show
off to your friends.

Yeah, and I tried too.

And it was awful. It
was a lousy reason to fly.

Are you telling me you can't
thinkof a good reason to fly?

No, I...

I think there's a
good reason to fly.

And that reason is?

Well...

Well, just to fly! Just
to feel what it feels like.

Now, that is a good reason.

It's the reason I remain
a Spiderflyto this day.

-Really?-I'm not in it
for the bugs, you know.

-Well, you... But flying...

it makes it all worthwhile.

There's a highway leading
upwardFrom your heart

There's a highway leading
upwardFrom your heart

And it's part of who you areAnd
who you long to be on high

For a heart can fly

And why should you stay
homeAnd be a stone alone

When all your dreams
are fastenedTo the sky?

Let your heart fly free and high

There's a million wings
to sing youOn your way

You can play with friendly
windsAnd feel the sky go winding by

In the air you breathe

You feel your heartbeat tell
youWhere the highway leads

The earth is like a
dream beneath the sky

Let your heart fly free and high

Let it fly, let it flyLet
it climb up to the sky

Let it soarYou'll
be more than before

Let it fly way up highLet
it climb up to the sky

Let it fly way up highLet
it climb up to the sky

Let it soarYou'll
be more than before

Let your heart fly free and high

You know, you're right.
Forget about showing off.

-I wanna fly just for the fun of
flying.-And it's about time too.

-So, go ahead and
fly.-I'd rather not just now.

And why not?

Well, it's just that I'd feel likel
was showing off in front of you.

Then I proffermy
sincerest good wishes and...

Bye-bye.

Let it fly, let it flyLet
it climb up to the sky

Let it soarYou'll
be more than before

Let it fly way up highLet
it climb up to the sky

Let it soarYou'll
be more than before

Let your heart fly free and high
Let your heart fly free and high

Here goes.

That's three.

Hi, Gobo.

Wembley.

Gobo, I'm sorry. I
didn't mean to wake you.

Gobo, I'm sorry. I
didn't mean to wake you.

That's okay.

-Well, I was just unpacking my
thing.-Then you've come back?

You're gonna be herewith
your friends again?

Yeah, please. I'd like to.

I'm glad.

-We've been
worried.-Don't be worried.

I'm not anymore.

It was just, you know,
all that flying business.

I know, I know. Well, for a while
there, I just wanted to show off, but...

-I don't anymore.-Good.

-Wembley, you get
some sleep.-Okay.

And just forget
about all that flying.

I don't thinkl'll ever forget
about flying, not ever.

Goodnight, Gobo.

I know you want to flyto
show off to Fluffinella,

but before you actually
use those wings,

we'll test the principleby
using this scale model.

Sprocket, let me help
youtake off those wings.

There we go.
