Looks like we're in for a full scale blizzard.
Have you unwrapped it?
You've never heard of Mr. Meow?
It's the finest raw catnip in the world.
You don't like catnip? Cats love it.
Drives them crazy. They could smell it through a brick wall.
See what I mean about this stuff?
That's probably Fluffinella, Mr. Shimmelfinney's cat.
Look at this computer readout.
I think I've found the way to turn catnip into dognip.
That's right.
I'm going to make this stuff smell like everything you dogs love.
Like rare steaks,
spring mornings, Postman Glen…
Can you imagine?
This lima bean soup is missing something.
-What's that? -Lima beans.
Where is Red anyway?
We'll never get this soup finished in time for the surprise party…
-What are you looking at? -Nice apron.
It's Mockey's.
She is the one who knows how to make this stuff.
-Where is she? -I don't know.
Don't you just stand there. Go find her.
Do I really have to go through with this?
There’s an old Fraggle tradition.
On your birthday you visit the Trash Heap and get your birthday wisdom.
There’s an old Boober tradition, too.
On my birthday I worry about the Grim Reaper.
But Boober, the time to worry about the Grim Reaper
is when you stop having birthdays.
Why should I have to pick the stupid lima beans
for Boober's surprise party?
He won't even appreciate it.
What are all those lima beans for?
Are you expecting some kind of natural disaster?
Nothing like that.
Just doing a little favor for Gobo.
You're just in time to go get Boober's birthday wisdom.
Actually I'm supposed to take them…
Actually it's what birthdays are all about, right Red?
Listen!
Some things are worth worrying about.
And pending to 'em is not one of them.
Life is for living.
My colleague speaks the truth.
This is your birthday.
You've got to focus on the positive.
Listen to big mama Trash.
When every dream you've had Has gone from good to bad
Get a move on Go with the flow
When every road you choose Gives the loser's blues
Get a move on Go with the flow
Well, when you try all day Try all night
Try until you drop Until it don't come right
If you're gonna grow, you know you Gotta go with the flow
When the dark comes down The night is all around
Get a move on Go with the flow
You know you can't pretend, You're looking straight at the end
Get a move on Go with the flow
Well when you're deep in fear Right up to here
It's a very heavy atmosphere.
If you're gonna grow, you know you gotta go with the flow.
Get a move on Get a move on
Go with the flow
I hate this.
Oh, yeah. Then how come your tail is wagging?
Stop it. Stop it.
And when the world won't work You're feeling like a jerk
Get a move on Go with the flow
And when it's down the tubes You're feeling like a boob
Get a move on Go with the flow
When everything's good-bye You're ready to die
You wouldn't give a nickel for an apple pie
If you're gonna grow, you know you gotta go with the flow
Get a move on
Go with the flow
Thanks anyway for the opinion.
That wasn't an opinion. That was a cosmic wisdom.
Get a move on Go with the flow
Mockey!
I have to talk to Mockey ?? for a second.
What is it, bad news?
Something awful has happened, I can just feel it.
As if the roof has caved in
Boober, you are driving me nuts!
I had a wonderful idea, Red.
Why don't you take our Boober on an adventure hike?
You've got to be kidding me and Boober.
Yes. Down to the spiral cavern.
It's a wonderful place to focus on the positive.
-Boober, look up here. -What?
Come on, Boober.
Keep Boober busy until surprise party time.
Let's go have ourselves a laugh riot.
I just love the spiral cavern.
Yes, indeed. The old downward spiral.
Perfect.
It sounds kind of interesting in here.
But it's creepy down here.
What are you worried about?
I'm worried about enclosed spaces
and death and pain and spiders and words with "R" in them…
Do you need the whole list or just a general overview?
Have you ever noticed you and I have absolutely nothing in common?
I'm worried about that too.
Get in there!
Isn't this pretty?
Red, there's something that I have to tell you.
You're gonna tell me about your claustrophobia, right?
Forget it! Let's go this way.
Red, this is a falling rocks __!
That sign's just for Doozers!
I think it needs a bit more salt.
That's easy.
Now it needs a bit less salt.
That's harder.
-How's the cooking lesson coming? -I'm hopeless.
Nonsense, you're very promising.
This'll be better than the food
uncle Matt's been finding in outer space.
-Like what? -He just wrote me about it.
I was resting by the giant Fraggle pond feeling very hungry
when I saw two of the silly creatures eating an interesting kind of food.
It must have been very tough.
They chewed and chewed and chewed.
But they seemed to like it so much that I hinted politely
that I might be pleased to share their snack.
The clever girl creatures got my message and gave me a taste of this odd food.
It certainly was chewy but it tasted delicious.
I was enjoying it when suddenly I noticed the two silly creatures again.
It was awful!
Their tongues inflated and exploded!
Naturally I spat out the food at once.
Who'd eat up things that make your tongue explode?
These creatures are weird.
That's what uncle Matt says.
So don't complain about my lima bean soup.
There's been a cave in! Down by the spiral cavern!
But that's where Red and Boober went!
There's no cause for alarm!
But Red and Boober!
Sound the horns for Felix the Fearless.
No problem.
I've seen this little rock slides before.
We're trapped, Red. In this little tiny space.
It is small.
Thank goodness I have my claustrophobia under control.
Otherwise I'd feel like these walls were closing in on me.
Pressing in and in until...
Until...
I can't breathe.
I've got to get out of here.
Snap out of it!
You've gotta cope.
If I can cope anybody can cope.
And that is Felix the Fearless, head of our rescue squad.
-What seems to be the problem? -Cave in!
I just hate those.
Anybody get squashed.
Two of our friends are down there.
We've got to save them.
Tell us what to do.
Here's my plan.
Everybody line up in alphabetical order.
I like Felix the Fearless as much as the next Fraggle
but the guy hasn't got a clue.
Someone had to run the rescue squad
and Felix wanted the job so…
First things first.
We must locate the exact site of the cave in.
In that case we should go to the spiral cavern.
Follow me!
It's this way.
Follow him!
I don't wanna die here.
It doesn't help to be afraid.
How come you're not afraid? You're always afraid.
It's funny.
I'm not nearly as afraid as I used to get
when I just thought about awful things happening.
You were always the brave one.
At times I was really scared.
I didn't know that about you.
I'm glad you're here with me, Boober.
It wouldn't be nice to be alone.
What are we gonna do now?
Let's think about our friends. I hope for the best.
Nobody else can help us now.
-Where is the stupid cave in? -There it is!
I found the cave in!
It looks horrible.
Look at that! A scarf.
That's Boober's scarf!
Looks to me like your friends are already squashed.
It's hopeless.
Let's go get some lunch.
Wait a minute. You can't just give up.
They might still be alive in there.
Be my guest.
Maybe you've got a great idea for moving that bolder.
We're sure gonna try.
See what I mean?
A textbook case of irreversible entombment.
Felix, if you can't contribute anything at least stand aside.
But I'm head of the rescue squad.
Then hook up that rock on us over there and hurry up.
Is something wrong?
No. I'm focusing on them.
Focusing on the positive.
They're all right, I can feel their well-being.
I'm gonna focus on moving this rock.
Wembley, give her all the help you can.
What do you mean, Gobo?
This doesn't look good. May not have a happy ending.
It's never been this bad.
No power.
Even the snowplow can't get through.
Poor Fluffinella can't even make it back across the street.
And even if she could I bet the snow would be
piled high above her pet door.
What?
You've been thinking
and have come to realize
that no dog is a pancake.
Oh, that no dog is an island.
And in times of great peril
and shared suffering
all of us
should set aside
our differences
and reach out to one another
in a spirit of love and understanding
One of the finest and most moving speeches I've ever heard.
Not only are you man's best friend but you're also cat's best friend.
I'll let her in.
You better go and lie in your basket.
You want her to have your basket.
You're gonna sleep in a cardboard box?
I'm overwhelmed.
She went straight to you, Sprocket.
She's using your body warmth.
I never thought I'd see you sharing your bed with Fluffinella.
What a sight.
-That ought to do it. -It'll never hold.
Ready on one!
Ready on two!
Ready on three!
Our friends will save us.
Let's think about our friends.
Remember when Now and then
Everything went wrong?
And then our friends would sing the friendship song.
Remember, Red?
You and I, We'd nearly cry,
To know their love was strong
And by and by We'd start to sing along
We sang Try a little longer For your friends
Try a little a stronger For your friends
You work all night You work all day
You still can't keep Those worry blues away
Try a little longer For your friends
Try a little a stronger For your friends
Life comes up Life goes down
There's just one way To keep it
Going 'round
Try a little longer For your friends
Try a little a stronger For your friends
Remember when, Now and then,
Everything went wrong?
And then our friends would sing, The friendship song
We almost had it, everybody! Next time it moves!
-Right, Felix? -Right.
-Can I focus on the positive too? -Of course.
Focus harder.
It's quiet.
Maybe they've stopped trying to rescue us.
Yeah, maybe.
You know, I feel kind of giddy.
Giddy and tired.
You know what that means, don't you?
We're running out of air.
What do you think it's like to die?
I don't know, Red. I think anybody does.
I remember this one day while doing my laundry
and then this big soap bubble floated right up from the tub
and there it was, in front of my face.
Beautiful and shiny.
And then it was gone.
Red, don't be sad.
I can't help it.
It was fun while it lasted.
All the good times and the songs and the laughs and stuff.
You've always said
you never liked the good times and songs and fun.
Sometimes I liked them.
But that's a secret.
Oh, Boober.
Don't go to sleep, okay?
That ought to do it.
Will it hold?
How should I know, Felix? All we can do is our best.
What if our best isn't good enough?
Before we start pulling focus on the positive.
Everybody, focus on the positive!
This time it moves!
Here we go!
We've broken through. Come on, give me a hand.
-Are they alright? -The roof in there is caving in.
Not need to thank me. All in a day's work.
Felix, make yourself useful for a change
and go get the lima bean soup.
Lima bean soup?
It's your birthday, Boober. Remember?
-My birthday! -Yeah!
Happy birthday, Boober! Let's have a party!
The birthday gifts, Are on their way,
We can have a super holiday.
Stay a little longer with your friends
Play a little longer with your friends
The birthday gifts Are on their way
We can have a super holiday
Red, about that business of me liking fun and games
And that stuff about me being afraid.
Those are secrets, right?
Right!
The birthday boy Is back to stay
We can have a noisy holiday
Stay a little longer with your friends
Play a little longer with your friends
The walk is clear.
I guess it's time for our little friend to get back to her own house
She still won't get off you, eh?
You'll be telling your grandchildren about this blizzard,
the night I made friends with Fluffinella.
The barrel of catnip, what about it?
You want me to take it ouside?
Alright.
Well, I'll be darned.
Fickle little creatures, aren't they?
Meow.
