Oh, you're gonna

[can opener whirring]

Here we go.

[sniffing]

[grumbling]

You're refusing to eatChoice
Chuck 'N' Chunks of Cheese?

But it's your favorite.
I don't believe it.

[murmuring]

-You want me to read
this magazine?-[barks]

What page?

[barks four times]

All right, page four.

"Doesn't your dog deserve
the very best? We think so.

That's why we've
createdRover's Royal Repast,

-a dog food fit for a canine
king."-[mouthing words]

[humming]

Well, you're a canine
king to me, Sprockie.

So, Rover's Royal
Repast it will be.

[whooping]

[Wembley humming]

Oh, sorry.

[humming continues]
[humming continues]

-[Philo] It's this way.-[Gunge]
No, it's not. It's this way.

[Philo] No, it's this way.

-Oh.-[Gunge]
No, this is the way.

I tell you, the cave
where the mageggievines

grow is right
around this corner.

-Oh.-Unless it's this corner.

Oh, why can't we just
makea necklace for Marjory

out of tin cans
and banana peels?

You know, something
nice and trashy.

Because these vines
are really gorgeous.

They got orange leaves
and purple flowers.

Marjory will go nuts.

I'll go nuts if we
don't find this cave.

I'll get directionsfrom
this little green Fraggle.

He looks like he
knows what's what.

-Wrong way again.-[Philo]
Hey, little Fraggle.

[gasps] How did you do that?

-Uh, do you know the way...-Oh!

To the cave where the
mageggie vines grow?

-Me?-Yeah.

See any other
Fraggles around here?

Well, no, but there would
beif I were in the right place.

What about the mageggie vines?

You know, with the orange
flowersand purple leaves.

Wait. Don't they havepurple
flowers and orange leaves?

Or is it fuchsia
flowersand yellow leaves?

Just point us in the right directionso
we can get this show on the road.

Okay, okay. Um, you
go, um... You turn...

I know this. Uh, don't worry.
I know this. Uh, don't worry.

Uh, it's that way. No, no. Uh...

It's that way.
Definitely that way.

-We got a real winner
here.-It is. I've been there.

-Wembley. Mokey and I have
been waiting.-Well, it could be...

You're supposed to play a game
ofthree-way boulder ball with us. Come on.

Is it... It could be this
way. No, I think it's...

Red! Oh, Red.

Wembley, say goodbye.

What... Goodbye.

-Come on.-Hey, hey.

-Okay, okay.-Hey, what
about the mageggie vines?

Oh, that was a real big help.

-[groans]-Sheesh!

-Well, let's go both
ways.-No, you go both ways.

No, look, one of us will
finda nice, big mageggie vine,

and then we'll meet
back at the garden.

-I'll go this way.-Guys,
I was just thinking...

No, no. I will go that way.

Okay.

[groaning]

Guys, I was just
thinking about it, and...

-Wembley!-Okay,
Red. All right, all right!

[Wrench]Hey, Cotterpin,
isn't this exciting?

Yeah, Wrench, about as excitingas
eating yesterday's Doozer pellets.

That will be enough,
Cotterpin Doozer.-Oh, I'm sorry.

That will be enough,
Cotterpin Doozer.-Oh, I'm sorry.

[clears throat]

You youngsters are herefor
a very important reason.

[Wrench] Reason.

The time has come for you to learn
abouta unique chapter in Doozer history.

[Wrench] History.

A time when the
Doozers had a king.

-[all gasping]-King?

-A king?-You're kidding!

Now, what was
interesting about this time

was that the Doozers did
not spendall their time building.

Oh, oh!

Hey, maybe this is gonna
beinteresting after all, huh?

You see, having a king meant there
weremany festivals to be celebrated.

"brated."

And the festivals requireendless
singing and dancing.

-[Doozers groaning]-It
was not a happy time.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

Uh, the Fraggles sing
and danceall the time,

and they seem really
happy, if you ask me.

-Hmm.-That's why I'm
not asking you, Cotterpin.

Uh... Sorry,
again. Sorry, again.

Now we Doozers
have a better way of life.

-[Doozers agreeing]-A
life devoted to building,

but it is important to learn aboutthis
frivolous chapter in our history.

-[Wrench] History.-Well, uh,

why'd we have to comeall the
way down here to do that, huh?

Ah, so you could look
upon the faceof that king.

[clamoring]

[all gasping]

Wow!

I just got the
strangest feeling.

As if my life would never be
the sameonce I turned this corner.

Boy, that's dumb.

[gasps]

[Gunge screaming]

O, Your Majesty.

Huh?

O, Great King of the Doozers,
O, Great King of the Doozers,

now that you have returned,

we can once again
worship youas you deserve.

Deserve.

-Hail to the king.-What
are you talking about?

-Come on, everybody. Hail
to the king.-Hail to the what?

-Hail to the king.-[whimpers]

Hail to the king.

Hail to the king.

Oh, boy. Wait till
Philo hears about this.

[Philo] Yeah, yeah.

[Gunge]And all of them
were groveling and saying,

"Hail to the king.
Hail to the king."

-Stuff like
that.-Uh-huh. Oh, yeah.

They said that when I move in with them,
they're gonna give me my very own crown.

Can you believe that?
My very own crown!

All right! I get the picture. And I
thinkyou're making the whole thing up.

-Am not.-Are too.

-Am not.-Are too.

-Am not.-Are too.

Ah!

I get it. I get it.

You're jealous. [laughs]

-I ain't jealous of
nobody.-Yes, you are.

You're jealous'cause the
Doozers want me and not you.

-Me.-Ha!

What makes you so special then? Tell
me about that, huh, Mr. Specy Weshy?

Come on, tell me.

Well, uh...
- I got star quality.-Ha!

And that's the
differencebetween me and you.

And that's the
differencebetween me and you.

There's never been
no difference before!

Well, uh... Well, there is now.

Ha! Do you mean to tell me that
you'dmove away from the garden and me?

Well, uh... Yeah.
Yeah, that's it. Yeah.

All right then. Then
what about Marjory?

You don't seem to understand.

I'm talking king here.

My days of being rodent-in-waitingto
Queen Garbagia are over.

I don't see how you can do it.

Because there are more important
thingsin life than being a king.

Oh, yeah? Like what?

-Well, uh...-Uh-huh?
Come on, tell me. What?

-Hmm? Hmm?-Well,
uh... Like us being pals.

-Oh, gag me with a twig.-[gasps]

I got a chance for
something big, see?

And I'm gonna take it.

Maybe hanging around
hereis good enough for you,

but... but I want
something better.

I wanna be a star. [murmurs]

[mocking] "I wanna
be a star." [murmurs]

-[barks]-What?

Oh, all right.

Oh, hello, Magnificent Mutts?

My dog refuses to eat
anythingbut Rover's Royal Repast,

even though I have a week's
supplyof his regular food for him.

[gagging]

-You do?-[barks]

-You will?-[howls]

That's wonderful.
I'll be over soon.

Finally, a store that
sellsRover's Royal Repast.

And he says he'll take back your

very tight budget.

Or Philo plays a trick on me,
and then I play a trick on him.

Uh, what's a Philo?

Oh. Well, a Philo is...

I don't care if the Doozersare
making Gunge the king.

That ain't no reason to...
to desert your best friend.

I think Gunge is going through

what we in the advice
businesscall an "identity crisis."

[Philo] What does that mean?

Well, it's when someone
doesn't knowwhat he wants to be.

He just knows that whatever
it is, it isn't what he is.

I don't thinkl'm gonna
ask you to repeat that.

I don't thinkl'm gonna
ask you to repeat that.

-Good boy.-Because
it doesn't explain

how he could do
something so low.

And I'm gonna tell himexactly
how low I think he is.

[sighs] My boys are growing up.

Oh, brother.

Brother.

What did you used to doto
amuse the king anyway?

-Uh...-It couldn't have
been as boring as this.

Gee, I don't know, Kingy.

That was way before my time.

-Yeah, figures.-O
Great and Glorious One.

-Yeah?-We Doozers
have searched the rock

in order to bring you a
tributeworthy of your majesticness.

Tribute, huh? Hey, hey,
things are looking up.

-[laughs]-[engine whirring]

This artifact is held in
great esteemby the Fraggles.

In fact, some believeit is the
source of all their knowledge.

Hey, you're laying it on
pretty thick, aren't ya?

Cotterpin, please.

Show some respect
in front of the king.

Hey, uh, lift that up, will ya,
buddy? I wanna get a closer look.

Might add a little zestto
the occasion. [chuckles]

Might add a little zestto
the occasion. [chuckles]

Um... "Dear Nephew Gobo..."

[Matt] The Silly Creaturesdon't
have a nice Fraggle Pond to swim in.

In fact, their water is so
rough, that when they swim,

they sit inside giant water
shoesso they won't get wet.

[laughs]

Whoa!

It's a wonderful
inventionthat just doesn't work.

[grunts, splutters]

"Love, your Uncle
Travelling Matt."

Oh, that's a funny
thing, all right.

A real thrill.

Sheesh!

-[sighs]-Oh, dear.

Uh, this isn't exactly the endless
partythe Architect told us about, is it?

-[snoring]-I guess when
it comes to having a king,

we Doozers are a little rusty.

Well, I think we
betterliven things up a little.

-Right.-[snorts]

-Right.-Uh... Oh, that
rotten little Gunge.

King. I'll show him king.

[chomps]

-King.-Huh?

[cheering] [cheering]

[Cotterpin] Wow.

Terrific.

Yeah!

[cheering continues]

[grunts]

Whoa!

[clattering]

-You okay?-Yeah,
I'm all right. Yeah.

Good. Hey, look.

-Whoa!-[crowd chattering]

[chattering continues]

[crowd] Whoa!

[cheering]

Yay!

Oh, that was
terrific, wasn't it?

Next.

[sighs]

[gasps]

Well, Your Gloriousity,

what do you think about
beingKing of the Doozers now?

-What do I think?-Yeah.

-What do I think?-Uh-huh.

-I think it's not what
I want at all.-Oh.

What I really want is...

What I really want
is... [clearing throat]

-is Philo!-Mm-hmm.

-Am I glad to see you.-Oh, yeah.

Now we're really gonna
havesome fun around here.

-[Philo shouts]-[screams] Hey!

What did you do that for?

'Cause you deserve
it, you creep.

For being so mean to me.

What do you mean, "mean"?
I didn't do anything to you.

Oh, you're still jealousbecause
I'm a king and you're not.

-I am not.-Am too.

-Am not.-Am too.

I hate to interrupt.
But who is this fellow?

He looks an awful
lotlike your royal self.

-What, this fawning little
ferret?-[gasps] What?

He don't look like me. Don't you
knowa real king when you see one?

-Well, uh...
[Philo] A real king?

What makes you think you look
like a king, you whining little weasel?

-You want proof?-Yeah.

-I'll give you proof.-Yeah.

Take him to the cave to see my portrait.
That'll put him in his proper place.

Take him to the cave to see my portrait.
That'll put him in his proper place.

And if you're lucky, I might let
youbow to me when you come back.

Bow to you? Why,
that'll be the day.

-Oh, yeah?-Yeah.

-Yeah? Yeah?-Yeah! Yeah!

If you'll just follow me...

So, as you can see, this is a
very accurate portrait of our,

uh, great and glorious king,

although I must sayit bears
a striking resemblance to you.

Yeah.

I see what you mean.

Hmm.

-Oh, look up there.
Look at that.-Huh?

Ain't, uh...

Ain't that a, uh, hairy-chested
batworm up there?

Yeah. I thought they
onlycame out at night.

[Architect] Hmm.

No, I don't see anything.

[stammers] Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

This ain't no picture of Gunge.

Uh, it ain't?

Uh, I mean... [clears throat]

It isn't?

No way. No way.

Lookee here. Take a
close look at these teeth.

Well, all right. But I
don't see what that...

Well, all right. But I
don't see what that...

Count 'em.

Uh, one, two.

My points exactly.

Now take a close look in here.

Hmm?

Uh... Uh... [coughing]

Yes, I see what you mean.

Mm.

See? Two teeth.

Two.

[Architect] Just like
the cave drawing.

Now, you.

-Eh?-Ha!

What did I tell you?

Only one tooth.

-So long, sucker!
[chuckles]-[Doozers chattering]

-Yeah, but...-[Doozer]
He's the real king.

[laughs] Oh, thank
you very much.

Hail to the king.

[all chanting] Hail to the king.

Thank you for
coming. You're too kind.

Oh, Gunge?

Don't forget to leave the crown.

Hmm?

Boy, I sure was wrongabout
how great it would be to be king.

It wasn't fun at all.

Didn't you enjoybeing
the center of attention?

Didn't you enjoybeing
the center of attention?

Nah. It wasn't real.

I mean, the Doozers loved
me'cause I was the king,

not 'cause I was me.

That's a very wise observation.

The only one who ever
loved mefor me was Philo.

Now he's gone.

Oh.

I can't believe how
much I miss him.

I feel like half a rat. [sighs]

You know, that's exactly how
Philo feltwhen you were gone.

It is? You mean he
missed me this much?

He certainly did.

Oh, then I gotta go find
himand tell him how I feel.

If I'm lucky, he just
might forgive me.

Hmm.

He just might, Gungie.

-[Doozers cheering]-[groaning]

[Cotterpin] Wow,
that's terrific!

-[laughs]-[Philo] Whoopee.

[Cotterpin]Oh, boy.
This is great. I love this!

[laughs]

-[Philo sighs]-It's great, huh?

Uh... Uh, O Glorious One II,

what do you think of the show?

What show?

Sheesh! Sheesh!

Kings. [scoffs]

Why did I ever try to
get even with Gunge?

I ain't never been so
miserablein my whole life.

[sobbing]

-[ballad playing]-[whistles]

What?

Oh, no, no, no, Philo.
You're the greatest.

No, no, you are the greatest.

Ah.

Oh!

Oh, thank you, boys.

This is the most beautiful
jewelryl've ever had.

Well, what are friends for?

Yeah. My sentiments exactly.

Oh, and it's so good to have you
bothback together where you belong.

-Yeah.-But tell me,

how did you convince the Doozersthat
neither of you was their king?

Well, I had this great idea.

Uh, excuse me,
but that was my idea.

-Was not.-It was too.

-Was not.-Was too!

[arguing]

[Marjory laughing]

[Architect] So, remember,

you will know the real King

-Count them.-One, two, three.
