- [sighs]
- [Boober] Attention!

- [metal clangs]
- [yelping]

- [sighs]
- Attention! Attention!

[groans] Attention, everybody.
Stop what you're doing and listen up.

[yelps, groans]
Can I listen from down here?

- Uh, y-yes, certainly.
- [Gaggle] Thank you.

Friends, for one day every year,

I put aside my overwhelming feeling
of dread...

Not too far aside
because I still need to see it,

but far enough for me
to put together this culinary experience.

- Come on. [chuckles] Uh-huh.
- The one, the only...

- Radish Razzle! [chuckles]
- [audience gasping]

Thank you, Wembley. I was getting there.

- Anytime, Chef.
- [grunts]

[clears throat]
Yes, the, uh, Radish Razzle.

The only dinner and a show
where the dinner is the show. [laughs]

[all laugh]

So, uh, now I just need
a couple more radishes for final touches.

[hums]

- [yelps]
- [stammers] Bongo!

Sorry, they jumped in my mouth.

[sighs]

[Bongo whining] Oh. Oh.

- Today of all days.
- [groans]

Ah, well. I'll ask Mokey
to do another quick radish run.

- [squawking]
- Hey. What in the...

- Hey! I was gonna eat that!
- You can't...

[chuckles] Those funny birds have been
around since the windstorm.

I saw one earlier
when I went to take my giggle walk.

- Giggle walk? What's a giggle walk?
- [Wembley] Uh-huh.

Oh, uh, kinda hard to explain.

[stammers] You walk... [grunting, chuckles]
...and you giggle. [giggles]

That's actually all it is.

I hear my presence is desired

- for a radishes.
- Oh, yeah. Okay.

Just hold tight, I'll head up
to the Gorg's garden and be right back.

[kisses]

- [humming]
- [groans]

- See? That was a kiss-and-hum walk.
- Hmm?

- Huh? Hmm, okay. Yeah.
- Very advanced. [chuckles]

[growling]

[door opens]

- [Doc] Sprockie, I'm home!
- [gasps, barking]

And I brought a friend!

You remember Docbot?

[Docbot] Hello, Sporklet.
Is very good boy dog boy.

- [exclaims]
- [suspenseful music playing]

- Boy dog very good.
- [whining]

[growling]

Aw. Don't worry, bud.
She's not here to dog-sit.

- I would never do that to you again.
- [whining]

I'm actually gonna reprogram her.

- [beeps]
- [Docbot] Docbot go sleepy.

- [barks]
- You know the school where I'm teaching?

- Well, even though I'm obviously cool...
- [whines]

...I could use something to help
the kids pay attention to my lessons.

- And who doesn't love a robot?
- Hmm. [barks]

Docbot will be like my co-teacher.
My cheer-bot.

I'll have her say things like,
"Good point, Doc, wind power is mad cool."

"Hey, where'd you get
those fresh overalls?"

- Ugh.
- [chuckles] Great, right?

[groans]

I'll take that as a yes.

[sighs] Now all I have to do
is completely dismantle and rebuild her.

Plus, reprogram her with a cool new voice
and easy playback. [chuckles]

- Wanna help?
- [barks]

- Okay, diva. Suit yourself.
- [whines]

[groans] Hmm.

Junior!

I thought I told you
to get rid of these red things.

[stammers] I did, Pa, but they grew back.

- [stammers] Don't worry, I'll keep on it.
- Oh, that's my sweet son.

- [giggling]
- Cute as a barrel.

If you need me, I'll be inside trying
on stylish crowns. Yeah.

[singsongy] Goodbye, reddie reds. Bye-bye.

- Hi, Junior!
- [gasps] Mokey!

What? Everything all right out there, Son?

Ah, I... Yeah. Sure is, Pa. [chuckles]

[whispering] Sorry.

New thing. You and I,
we're friends, but Pa can't know.

Ooh! Complex.

That's okay. I got my radishes,
and now I'm leaving. Mmm.

[gasps] I didn't know strawberries
were growing up here.

- Uh-huh.
- The first time I tried a strawberry,

I was like, "Oh, mama sweet mouth!"
[chuckles]

Yeah, well, Pa's making me get rid of 'em.

- Aw.
- [gasps] Hey!

Why don't you take 'em,
and share them with the Fraggles?

- Really? Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, okay, oh. Ooh. [grunts] Ooh.

I think that's more than I can carry
but thank you!

- Uh-huh. [chuckles]
- [chuckles] Whew!

[Junior Gorg singsongy]
Bye, bye, reddie reds.

- [chuckles, gasps]
- [chuckles] Hey, Red!

Great job getting the spot
for the Radish Razzle.

Yeah, you know me.

When Boober does that radish soup toss,
I wanna be in the splash zone.

- [chuckles] Oh, yeah.
- [chuckles]

- Oh, hey, great poncho. I love ponchos.
- Ah. [chuckles]

Oh, I wish I had a poncho.

- Well, I got bad news for you, bud.
- Yeah.

- You don't get to wish anymore...
- Huh?

...because I got you one!

[both scream, chanting]
Poncho, poncho, poncho, poncho, poncho!

Hmm. Okay.

First up, everyone's favorite,

- the radish volcano.
- [chuckles] Hmm. [gasps]

- But I really need...
- Need Mokey to get back with the radishes?

[strains] Done and done. [inhales sharply]

And I didn't just grab radishes.

Did you know that strawberries are growing
in the Gorg's garden?

Get outta here!
[stammers] Please don't leave.

I love that you're here.

- I'm just really surprised.
- [giggles]

Ah, thanks, Moke.
But you keep the strawberries.

- Today's about the Radish Razzle.
- [Wembley chuckles]

Oh, you don't have to tell me twice.

[gasps] Break a baloobius, Boober!

[Boober, Wembley, chuckle]

[groans] Are you ready, Chef?

Let's do this!

- [clears throat]
- Hmm.

- [Inkspots buzzing fanfare]
- [panting]

- Are you ready to radish with Chef Boober?
- [Inkspots chuckling]

Ta-da! Mmm.

- [groaning]
- [chuckles, groans]

- [chuckles] Mmm.
- Whoa. [exclaims]

- [stammers, chuckles]
- [chuckles, grunts]

- [Wembley] It's the radish volcano!
- Ta-da!

Ah!

- Eh? Eh?
- [sizzling]

- Wow! Strawberries.
- [groans]

There's so many of them!

Oh, they're so fun.

- [gasps] And juicy! [chuckling]
- [Mokey] Yeah.

[stammers] Excuse me!

There's kind of
a show happening over here.

[sighs]
If you wouldn't mind looking this way!

- [Gaggle] They do! So tasty.
- Yeah.

Ugh. Forget it. [sighs]

[sighs] Strawberry, more like rude berry.

[stammers]
What do we even know about them?

[sighs] They might be a disaster.

[sighs]

[groans] Mmm.

- Mmm, how thrilling.
- Mmm.

This so-called strawberry is
the perfect new building material.

Send it into production.

Uh, respectfully, Architect,
I wouldn't do that.

It might be a huge mistake.

Oh. Well, this is a toughie.

I'm excited about building with these
berries, and you are against it.

What do we do?

What if we took a more measured approach?

[gasps] Measure Doozer. [gasps]

Ah! Wowee!

I say, before we make up our minds
about these strawberries,

let's send them to
Research and Development.

Works for us.

Hey, I'm Research.

Development. Good to be with you.

- They seem super smart.
- Uh...

[sighs]

[panting, clears throat]
Hey, there you are!

We've been worried about you.

Gobo even went up
to get the latest artifact

from his uncle just to cheer you up.

I don't know, Wem.
I think I'm un-cheer-up-able.

- What?
- Hmm.

- All right.
- Yeah.

Strawberry, more like rude berry.

What do we even know about them?
They might be a disaster.

[both] Hmm.

Hey. Uh, that's what I said.

- What do we even know about them?
- Hmm?

It might be a disaster.

[Boober] Wait. What's going on here?

[bird] What do we even know about them?
They might be a disaster. [squawks]

Oh, what?
Do you just repeat everything you hear?

Like, some kind of repeatee bird?

[sighs]

[gasps]

[stammers]
Strawberries are bad for Fraggles.

Strawberries are bad for Fraggles.

[chuckles]

Strawberries are bad for Fraggles.

Mm-hmm, a bird said that
and I believe birds.

You're right.

- I'm done with strawberries! Mmm!
- [gasps] Mm-hmm.

I hope Boober's still doing his
Radish Razzle.

- Let's go back to that. Mmm.
- [all] Mm-hmm mm-hmm.

Yes. Let's go back to that indeed.

[chuckles]

[groans] It's been hours, Sprockie,

- and Docbot won't record a thing.
- [groans]

- Who thought this was a good idea?
- [groans]

Okay. Let's try this again.

I say my thing
about shifting wind currents

then Docbot will say,
"Good point, Doc. That blows me away."

[whines]

Ugh, nothing.

[beeps]

- [Doc] Why are you so bad at this?
- [groans]

- Can't do anything right. Get it together.
- [groaning]

- [beeps]
- [Gobo grunts]

[sighs] At least I'm good at one thing:
eating strawberries.

Oh. So, Silly Creatures
eat strawberries too, eh?

- [barking]
- Oh! [grunting]

Mmm. Don't worry, Sprockie.
I'll save you a strawberry.

[whimpers]

Next time.

I finished them all.

[chuckles] Oh, wow.

Hey, Boober,
your Razzle's really "razzling".

- Mmm, Fraggles seem to like it.
- Mm-hmm.

Seems to be going well.

Well,
no strawberry's gonna steal your thunder.

Did you know
that Silly Creatures eat them too?

- [stammers]
- Silly Creatures eat strawberries?

- Mm-hmm.
- That makes me want to eat them too.

- Totally. Let's go find some. [chuckles]
- Mmm. Yeah. [chuckles]

[stammering]
Uh, that's really interesting, Gobo.

- Mm-hmm.
- Uh, pardon me a mo.

- Mmm.
- [grunting] Ah.

Oh, uh... [whispers] ...strawberries are from
Outer Space. How can we even trust them?

Strawberries are from Outer Space.
How can we even trust them?

- [chuckles] Perfect.
- Mmm.

Strawberries are from Outer Space.
How can we even trust them?

[exclaims]
Strawberries are from Outer Space.

How can we even trust them?

- [exclaims]
- What?

Of course we can trust them.

My uncle discovered them,

and strawberries have a great color
and better flavor. I love 'em.

Strawberries have a great color
and better flavor. I love them.

[stammers] Is that bird repeating me?

I think it is.

[bird 1] Strawberries have a great color
and better flavor.

- I love them.
- Move it!

[bird 2]
Strawberries are from Outer Space.

[bird 3]
Strawberries have a great color and...

[repeatee birds speaking indistinctly]

- Hmm. Oh.
- [Cotterpin] Hmm.

- Oh.
- Uh...

Are we ready
for strawberry-building tests?

Begin research.

- And development.
- Oh. All right.

[Doozer 3 through intercom]
Strawberry pressure test, in three, two...

- [device whirring]
- [screams] My suit got splashed.

Ah, come on.

It's a splash suit. That's what it's for.

- Oh.
- Bring it on. [chuckles]

[device whirring]

- [screams] Too much!
- Oh, dear!

- Oh, dear.
- Strawberries are stressful! [groaning]

- Noted. Mmm.
- Noted. Mmm.

Mmm. But also kind of tasty! [laughs]

- Oh. Noted.
- Oh. Noted.

- [Measure] Uh...
- Good to know.

[chirping]

Radishes rule, you strawberry fool!

[repeatee birds]
Radishes rule, you strawberry fool!

Strawberries are better.
A radish, I'd never!

[repeatee birds] Strawberries are better.
A radish, I'd never!

But, friends, unity over division.

That should do it.

- Good job, Mokey.
- [chuckles]

[chuckles] Strawberries forever! [laughs]

[stammering] Sorry, but, uh,
strawberries are red, like me.

- [chuckles]
- So are radishes.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, but strawberries are redder!

- Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!
- [strawberry supporters] Strawberries!

[Radish supporters] Radishes!

[sighs] Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

[grunts, sighs]
Finally... [sighs] ...some peace and quiet.

- Coming through. [straining]
- [stammers, sighs]

Those repeatee birds
can give you such a headache. [groans]

Red, this is a single-occupancy
hidey-hole. [groans]

- Oh, well, it's just the two of us.
- [sighs, exclaims]

- [grunting] Make way.
- [screaming]

- I'm here for some peace.
- And quiet.

- Oh, boy.
- [straining]

- Ooh, cozy scene in here. Love it.
- Uh... [stammers] ...I don't.

- It's very tight in here.
- [Gobo] Mmm.

- The only one missing is Wem...
- Hi.

[all grunting]

I was actually here before anyone.
I just stayed quiet. Yeah.

[groaning, whimpering]

- Everything feels so off-balance.
- [Gobo] Mm-hmm.

How did we get here?

Yeah. How did this all start?

[sighs, stammers] I did it. It was me.

- [all gasp]
- [shrieks] Please don't gasp in here.

- We don't have the air for it. [panting]
- [Red whimpers]

[laughs] Oh, you'll see, Cotterpin.

Rewind and Développé will have great news
about building with strawberries.

[chuckles]

Uh, it's Research and Development, sir.

- Oh.
- They said their name so many times.

Indeed.

And I'm pretty sure they'll tell us
that strawberries are bad.

[clears throat]
I have the final strawberry report.

Oh. Mm-hmm. [inhales sharply]
Uh, are you gonna read it, or...

- Oh, uh, sure.
- Yeah.

So, our research...

- [Development] And development.
- Yes, of course.

Uh, has determined that strawberries are...

Yes?

...fine. They're just fine.

What? What does that mean?

Well, uh,
they don't work well for building,

but they're also not harmful.

In fact, they're delicious.

And their tops make
for festive little hats.

Super fun, right?

- Oh.
- Uh, so we were both wrong?

And both right!

Cotterpin,
your caution helped us avoid a mess.

And your excitement stopped me
from discounting the strawberries.

I'm glad we backed up our words
with research.

And development, please.

- [chuckles]
- [Cotterpin] Hmm.

[smacking lips]

They are pretty good.

And I look cuter than I have in years.

[chuckles]

- Oh, I love it. [chuckles]
- Uh, uh-huh.

- [sighs]
- Boober?

- Huh?
- What do you mean this is your fault?

- Yeah.
- [Boober sighs]

- Well, at first it was an accident...
- [groans]

...but then I realized I could use the birds
to hurt strawberries

- and help my Radish Razzle.
- [Gobo] Mmm.

I guess I was afraid radishes
would be forgotten.

[sighs]
Maybe I thought I'd be forgotten too.

[sighs] I didn't know
it would turn into all this.

D-Do you know
I've never even tried a strawberry?

- [all gasp]
- What?

You've never tried a strawberry?

Boober, you weren't the only one using
the repeatee birds.

I also put words out there
I wish I could take back.

Hey, there's no room
for wallowing in the past,

or room for anything in here, really.

- Oof. Crowded! [grunting]
- Oh, yeah.

Hey, you know, I got my uncle Matt's
postcard to cheer Boober up.

He didn't need it then,
but maybe we all need it now.

- [straining]
- If everyone just squeezes together,

maybe I'll pop out of here before...

[Gobo] "Dear Nephew Gobo and friends..."

[groans] Oh!

[Matt] I recently discovered
something absolutely spectacular.

A vibrant and wondrous community
of smaller-sized Silly Creatures

whose unique head shape
gave them incredible speed.

Hello there, pointy heads.

[Matt] It was there
that I saw a stunning sculpture

- honoring these pointy-headed Sillies.
- Hmm? Hmm.

It was as beautiful as it was in my way.

Hmm. Where am I supposed to sit?

[straining]

[Matt] I calmly requested
that someone take it off the table.

[grunts] Get it out of my way! No!
Hurry, hurry! Get it out of my...

- Oh. Oh. Huh?
- [Matt] I knew I was influential

but I didn't know
how much power my words had

- or the consequences they would lead to.
- Hmm.

[gasps]

[Matt] My words had accidently
inspired chaos and destruction.

No, you brutes.

I just wanted you to move it,
not destroy it!

Don't! Oh, stop it. It's all over.
Oh, my goodness. [shrieking] Go a...

[Matt] And although
I could not take my words back,

I could add new words
to help make things better.

I'm sorry.

I should've been more careful
with what I said.

I never meant for this to happen. Aw.

[Matt] My new words helped bring back
a sense of joy and calm...

- [stammering]
- ...and even a bit of sweetness.

Oh. Thank you.

[Matt] And so, as part of my mission
to improve Fraggle Rock,

- I send this artifact to you, young Gobo.
- Mmm.

-"A reminder that our words can do damage...
- [all straining]

...but also heal.

Love, your uncle, Traveling Matt."

"PS, candy is amazing!"

- [Wembley chuckles]
- He's right.

We have to use our words
to help fix things.

[all] Mm-hmm.

- Hey. [grunting]
- Oh. Ah.

Let's go spread the word
to all of Fraggle Rock!

- [chuckles]
- Yeah, let's go.

- [straining] How?
- [straining] Yeah. Yeah, how?

Uh... Uh, maybe if I just, uh, move
my tail... Oh, no, that's my foot.

- W-W... Wait.
- Yeah.

Wait, let's do it
on one, two, three, ready?

[all clamoring]

I got my eye on you, buddy. You calm down.

Hey. Hey! Put that d... Now...
No, no. Come on!

Fraggle love is back! Pass it on!

Our difference in taste cannot mean hate.
Pass it on! Ha.

Our difference in taste cannot mean hate!

- Pass it on!
- Mm-hmm.

[laughs] Yes, healing works. Pass it on!

Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

Leave it be, Sprockie. I give up.

- [whimpering]

[Docbot] Why are you so bad at this?

Ugh, you can't do anything right.
Get it together.

- Hey, nobody talks to me like that.
- [grunts]

- [gasps] Except for me.
- [whimpers]

Whoa.

First of all, it's working. [chuckles]
And secondly...

[sighs] ...I would never say those words
to anyone else.

So why should it be okay
to say them to myself?

- [breathes deeply]
- [barks, grunts]

The ladies on my shero wall know
our words have power,

and if we choose positive words,
we can make our world better.

- [Boober] Mmm.
- Strawberries are bad for Fraggles.

[sighs] I guess sometimes
when you put things out there,

they don't completely go away.
Like a soup aroma.

Well, all we can do is learn from
our mistakes and choose to share love.

- Mmm. Mm-hmm.
- [squawking]

Hmm? [gasps] Ah.

- [Ma Gorg humming]
- Oh, that's a fine crown, Pa.

[screams, whimpers]

This old crown?
Just something I found in the closet.

- Strawberries are bad for Fraggles.
- What? [shouts, stammers]

[gasps] Strawberries are bad for Fraggles?

[Junior Gorg] Finally got rid
of the last strawberry. [sighs]

- Junior, change of plans.
- Huh?

Plant more strawberries.

- Oh. Okay. On it, Pa.
- [chuckles] Yeah.

- We'll show them Fraggles. [chuckles]
- [groans]

- [chuckles] You got this, pal.
- [chuckles]

Boober! Boober! [chuckles]

[groans] Are you sure
this has been thoroughly cleaned?

- Oh, yeah.
- Yes!

Now please stop looking at it and eat it.

It's a sensation. It's an experience!

- Throw yourself into it.
- [sighs]

- Okay.
- Yeah.

[smacking lips]

- It's...
- [all] Yeah?

- It's fine.
- [all] Oh.

- It's... It's just fine.
- [Mokey] Oh.
