Dance your cares away

Worry's for another
day Let the music play

Down at Fraggle Rock

Down at Fraggle Rock

Down at Fraggle Rock.

This camping trip was a
wonderful idea, wasn't it, Sprocket?

We can observe the
plant and animal lifeby day

and the stars and
planets by night.

Maybe even see a meteor shower.

No, no, you can't see
anything now, Sprocket.

You've gotta wait for
nighttimewhen the stars are visible.

All right, all right,
I'll have a look.

It's a cloud.

All right, all right,
I'll take another look.

It's a cloud shaped like a bone.

We come out here to study the universeand
all you can think about is food.

Well, boy, that's the reason
dogsdon't make good scientists.

I love ruling this
vast universe.

My kingdom extendsas
far as the eye can see.

My kingdom extendsas
far as the eye can see.

And even farther than that, to
the ever-most limits of forever.

This kingdom is
mine, mine, mine!

Gee, Daddy, how come
it's yours, yours, yours?

Now, what kind
of question is that?

-A dumb one?-Precisely.

It's mine because I am the king.

And I have been the
kingsince the last leaf fell

from the nirvana treein
my father's garden.

You mean your pa
had a tree like this?

Yes, he did.

What will happen whenall the
leaves fall off our nirvana tree?

Why, then you'll be king.

Me? But why me?

Don't worry, son.

These leaves won't fallfor
years and years and years.

That's good. Yeah.

Pa! Pa, are you all right?

I thought I saw...
I thought I saw...

Oh, no! Ma! Ma, come quick!

Something terrible
has happened to Pa!

-O, dread! O, woe! Oh,
what?-It was terrible.

-What?-All the leaves
fell off the nirvana tree

and suddenly Pa was lying
downinstead of standing up.

O, my son and king.

Get up, Ma, will
ya? I'm not your king.

Pa is your kingand he
needs you right now.

You're so right, my royal baby.

And he needs me now morethan
he has ever needed me before.

Pa!

Why now? Why now?

I'm not ready.

But my majestic one, you've
been king for 742 years.

I know!

And I was just beginning
to getthe hang of it.

Look, look, look!
There's still one leaf left!

You don't have to
be upset after all.

And look on the bright side.
And look on the bright side.

Now you can doall the
things you really love,

like fishing and taking naps.

But I do all those things now.

-Well...-And I get
to rule the universe

at the same time.

You'll adjust.

Gee, that leaf will fall soon,

and then I'll be king.

I'm not ready for this.

I still have trouble
tying my shoes.

Oh, boy.

How can I be king
of the universe?

I don't even know
what the universe is.

I know the universe

Is everywhere

It's full of radishes and things

It's full of air

But when I try to understand

I always wonder in despair
I always wonder in despair

How wide

How far

How real it is

And if the universe

Is made like me

It must get lonely in the dark

And ask for tea

And is there anybody here

Who really knows just how to see

How wide

How far

How real it is?

The universe is real

But no one will reveal

How wide How wide

How real it is

It's all your fault.

After you fall, I'm doomed.

I got it!

If that leaf doesn't ever fall,
then I never have to be king!

Yeah.

There. Now no one can ever say

that the last leaf fell
offthe nirvana tree

'cause I ripped it off instead.

What if Mommy and Daddy
don't believethat the leaf didn't fall?

I know! I'll get rid
of the evidence.

Junior Gorg, if I
do say so myself,

this is the smartest
thingyou have ever done.

What's happening to me?

Oh, no!

I'm telling you, Wembley,

the nirvana tree is so mystical,

you're gonna be really
gladyou came to see it.

Well, if you say so.

All clear.

Now is the time for you to
be truly noble, my husband.

But I don't wanna be
noble, I wanna be king.

Well, don't you worryyour
little regal head about that,

you just go and
check on the tree.

If that leaf has fallen, we've
got a coronation to plan!

Wembley, just wait until you
seethe magnificent golden leaves

of that nirvana tree.
Of that nirvana tree.

-You are going to be
awestruck.-Awestruck?

-Speechless.-Speechless.
I can't wait.

Mokey, you were right.
That tree is really something.

It has happened.

Junior is king.

I must do what my
father did before me...

and try to glue one of
those leaves backon the tree.

No. No, the queen is right.

Now is the time to be noble.

Junior, where are you?

Come try on the
royal scepter for size.

Junior!

Fraggles.

-Fraggles near the
nirvana tree.-Wembley.

This is an outrage.

Two of you, eh?
Well, you won't get far.

Pa! Help me! Help me!

Another Fraggle.

Well, I'll get you too.

No, no, no, no, Pa! It's me!

Least I think it's me.

-Wembley? Wembley?-Mokey.

I went all the way around the...

Fraggles!

Come on, Wembley.

It's my mommy. She'll help me.

Ma, it's your prince. Save me!

What?

Oh, no! Another one!

Pa! Pa! You've gotta do
somethingabout these Fraggles!

Why, I'm trying to do something.

I'm trying to thump 'em.

Ma, it's...

-Well, that was fun.-It was?

Sure. Well, I've gotta hurry.

I wanna go write my impressions downin
my journal while they're still fresh.

Wonder why I didn't
know that was fun?

I'll get you, you Fraggle!

There's another Fraggle out there?
There's another Fraggle out there?

No, you don't!

Hey, over here!

I'll get you...

You pesky Fraggle, you!

Come back here!

You're Junior Gorg!

Yeah.

It's not so funny, you know.

My own pa tried to k*ll me.

-That's terrible.-You're
not kidding.

What did he think
I am, a Fraggle?

Well, yeah, that's probablywhat
he thought, all right.

Yeah, well, I'm not! I'm a...

a Gorg?

Well, now that you mention it...

I don't mean to pry
or anything, but...

but aren't you just a bit shorterthan
you were when I saw you last?

How could something
this terriblehappen to me?

How could something
this terriblehappen to me?

Well, maybe it was
something you ate.

Look, Junior,

when we Fraggles have
problemsthat we can't solve,

we go to someone who has lots of
wisdom, and she always helps us.

-But I'm not a Fraggle.-I
know, I know, I know!

But I bet she'll
help you anyway.

Do you want me
to take you to her?

-I guess.-Okay, come on.
Come with me. Come on.

-Well, okay.-Come on.

-I promise it'll be all
right. Come on.-Okay.

Come on, Junior, we're almost
there. Just a little bit further.

-Come on.-Wait a
minute. Wait a minute.

-What?-Where are you taking me?

I'm taking you to
the Trash Heap!

I thought we were going to see
someonethat was full of wisdom.

We are!

-But that's a trash
heap!-That's right!

You Fraggles are crazy.
I'm getting out of here.

Junior Gorg, how
nice of you to drop by.

Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?

You see another Gorg who looks
likehe just ate a nirvana tree leaf

anywhere around here?

I don't think so.

Help me. Please help
me, Your Trashiness.

Sorry we're late, Marjory.

-Yeah. You are in the presence
of... The all-knowing, the...

Look at this!

Now, boys, try to be polite.

Our visitor obviouslyhas
a little problem.

Little is the word for it.

I told him you could help.

We'll do our best,
won't we, boys?

I did eat a nirvana tree leaf.

But I did it for a
very good reason.

And what reason is that?

Well, I don't wanna
beking of the universe.

I don't even know what it is.

Well, if you don't
know what it is,

how can you be so sureyou
don't want to be the king?

Well, gee, it made
sense a minute ago.

Let me tell you
something, Junior Gorg.

When you eat a nirvana tree leaf,
you don't always get what you want.

When you eat a nirvana tree leaf,
you don't always get what you want.

But you just might
findyou get what you need.

Are you telling me
I need to be small?

Well, it might make it easier
for youto see the universe

in a way that you
haven't seen it before.

-Yeah.-But how
can I get big again?

By seeing the universein a way
that you haven't seen it before.

-The Trash Heap has
spoken.-That means it's time to leave.

-Okay.-Go ahead. Scoot.

So long, short stuff.

None of that made
any sense at all.

I'm gonna find my mommy and
daddyand tell them I ate the leaf any...

No, more Fraggles!

They're gonna ruin
the coronationfor sure.

Fret not, Queeniekins,
these Fraggles are history.

Boy, doesn't he ever get
tiredof thumping Fraggles?

Did you?

You know, I would never have
thumpedanybody if I knew how it felt.

You know, I would never have
thumpedanybody if I knew how it felt.

Not even a Fraggle.

Thanks... I think.

Help me, Fraggle.

Please help me see the universein
a new way so I can get big again.

-Okay, I'll see what I
can do.-Good Fraggle.

Junior, why don't
you call me Wembley?

-Why?-Because that's my name.

Fraggles have names?

The Trash Heap is right,

you do have a lot to
learnabout the universe.

Just look at what those
Fragglesdid to my garlic pie!

I want them stopped.
Do you hear me?

I will not have those
horrible creatures

ruining the greatest
dayof my baby's life!

Now, now, don't you
worry, my little love queen.

Junior and I will make surethere
aren't any Fraggles around

to spoil the coronation.

Where is our
darling boy, anyway?

If he's anything like his Pa,

he's probably off having a last flingbefore
taking on the burdens of kingship.

He's probably off having a last flingbefore
taking on the burdens of kingship.

Come on. Junior.
Junior, come on.

-Come in here.-You
know, Wembley,

I think the universe must bethe
biggest place in the whole wide world.

Hey! Hey!

-Everybody! Everybody,
guess who's here.-What?

It's Junior Gorg.

Junior Gorg!

No, no, no. No, there's
nothing to be afraid of.

Look how tiny he is.

Hi.

Hey, stop it!

Everybody, stop
laughing right now!

Now, listen, Junior is
having a little problem, and...

Little's the word for it.

I told himhe could stay
here in Fraggle Rock

so I can help him work things
out, okay? Any objections?

-Well... Good!

You must be the
boss around here.

Me? No. Fraggles don't have any bosses.
Me? No. Fraggles don't have any bosses.

You mean, you don't have somebodylike
my daddy who tells you what to do?

Nope, nope. We each lead
ourselves, and we all lead each other.

-That's right.
Yeah.-Right? Yeah.

Tell you about it.

You can lead your friend to
waterYou can go and get a cup

You can tell him it's
as fine as fizzy pop

You can very kindly pour it

-You can tell him,
"Slurp it up" -You can.

But you cannot make
him drinkA single drop

For you can never, ever, ever

You can never, never,
neverBe the boss

Of someone else

-No, you can never,
ever, ever-Ever

-You can never, never,

Of someone else

You can ask your
friends to help you

You can beg them,
"Pretty please"

You can even say
they're stupidlf they don't

You can tell them your opinion

You can talk and trick and tease

But you cannot come
and force themlf they won't

But you cannot come
and force themlf they won't

-For you can never,

Yeah!

Wembley, you know, I never
knewthere were places in the universe

-where nobody made
you sweep up.-Yeah, yeah.

Am the bossBoom, boom,
boom, boom Of just myself

Oh, no! What did I do?

Hey, funny face.

If you're gonna knock these down,
the least you could do is eat 'em.

What's that?

I am not a "that,"
I'm Cotterpin Doozer!

And if you don't eat these buildings,
why, we won't have room to build any more.

And if you don't eat these buildings,
why, we won't have room to build any more.

I don't understand. Why do
you want me to eat your building?

'Cause it's delicious.

You see, we make these
buildingsout of radishes,

which really works out kind of
well, 'cause Doozers love to build,

-and Fraggles love to eat
radishes.-Wait a minute.

-These are made
of radishes?-Sure.

Are these like the
radishesfrom my garden?

These are the radishes
from your garden.

-Wait a minute.-What?

I think I understand.

-You see, I love to
grow radishes.-Yeah.

-And Doozers love to
build with radishes.-Yeah.

-And you Fraggles love
to eat radishes.-Yeah!

It all fits together!

It does!

Wait till I tellmy mommy
and daddy about this.

-Okay!-Oh, boy!

These are made of radishes?

Hey, Ma! Pa! Come out here!

I got something to tell
youabout the universe.

Yeah, I should have
done thisa long time ago.

Yeah, I should have
done thisa long time ago.

Pa, but... What is he doing?

This b*mb will keep the Fraggles
awayfrom the coronation for good.

Oh, no! All my
new friends will die.

No, no, no, wait!

Wait!

Wait!

Wait!

-Look out!-Look out!

My gosh! What is this?

I don't know, but
it looks dangerous.

Don't touch it! Don't touch
it! Just run for your lives!

Run for your lives!

I've got to stop it,
but I don't know how.

Maybe if I pull one of these
things, but... which one?

-I'm running out
of time!-Be careful.

It stopped.

Come back in. I did
it! You can come back!

You can come back.

Hooray!

That's funny, I
don't hear anything.

Well, maybe that
bombwasn't such a good idea.

You don't know the first
thingabout ruling the universe.

And neither do you!

-Junior!-My baby.

What have those terrible
Fragglesdone to you?

They haven't done
anything to me.

But Pa's b*mb
could have k*lled me.

And all my new friends too.

You mean you shrunk yourself becauseyou
wanted to be friends with Fraggles?

No, I ate the nirvana tree leaf,

and it made me small so that I could seethe
universe in a way I never did before.

What balderdash!

Why, you don't have to
understandthe universe.

You just have to rule it.

Well, that's what a king does.

Nobody knows that better than me.
Nobody knows that better than me.

Pa.

You don't know the first
thingabout being king,

or you would never
have thrown that b*mb.

Why, I was just
doingwhat a king has to do.

Well, Daddy, you don't have
to worryabout that anymore.

I'm the king now.

My baby's back!

Yeah.

Let the coronation begin.

-This is it, guys.-Yeah.

We Gorgs have always
ruled the universe

because we're the
best, the brightest,

the boldest and the biggest.

So, in the great
tradition of Gorgic rule,

by the power vested
in me as the ex-king,

I now crown you, Junior Gorg,

the new king of the universe.

This is the proudest
moment of my life.

Thank you, Mommy and Daddy.

-I would now like to make
a royal speech.-Hear, hear!

Parents and friends,
especially you, Wembley.

Wembley.

I thank you all for joining
meon this great day.

I've been thinking a
lot aboutthis universe

I'm supposed to be king of,

and I'm still not
sure I know what it is.

I still don't seewhat
difference that makes.

Quiet, my love.

What I do know is that the
universeis very wonderful,

and it seems to work really
wellwithout anybody bossing it around.

-Now, wait a... Quiet,
my love and former king.

So, as my first and last
actas king of the universe,

So, as my first and last
actas king of the universe,

I declare there shall
be no more king...

now and forever!

But...

Attaboy, big guy!

Yay, Junior.

You did it.

It should be right around here.

Sprockie, I couldn't believe it

when I saw that meteorheading
this way last night.

Sprockie, you found it!

Unbelievable.

As a scientist,

this is one of the greatest
momentsof my life.

Well, that's right, boy. It's a
great moment for a dog too.
