-[radio beeps] -[Wrench] Wrench to base.
We're dropping into Whistling Hollow now.
[Architect, through radio] Good. Find us some gusties.
[gasps] We got something.
-[wind blowing] -[Turbo] Oh, wow.
[Wrench] Look at all that wind!
-[Turbo] It's the mother lode! -[Wrench] Yeah.
[Fraggles chattering]
Little did they know they were in the lair
-of the Gigglepus! -[Gaggles gasping]
[Gaggles giggling]
-Whee! -[laughs, gasps]
I'm having the time of my life. [groans]
[Mokey chuckles, hums]
-Oh, hey, Mokey. Where you heading? -[gasps]
Oh, I'm off to paint a giant mural honoring Lanford. You wanna help?
Uh--
Oh, as much as I want to help you honor the plant
that terrorizes me night and day…
-[chuckles] -…I promised Pogey
I'd teach him a new swim stroke. Hmm.
-Ah. -Hi, Red!
-[Mokey gasps] -Goggled up and ready!
[Fraggles chuckle]
Yeah, maybe we'll help later.
Right now, I'm working on a song for Wembley…
-Yeah. Yeah. -…and it's a doozy.
-[Mokey, Red gasp] -That's the name.
-"A Doozy." [chuckles] -Yeah. Yeah.
♪ Have you heard the "newsie?" Our friendship is a doozy ♪
And then probably something about "woozy" or "dance the onesie-twosie."
-I don't know. I'm working on it. -Take your time. You can't rush genius.
[Gobo] Ah, yeah.
-Okay. Well, maybe I'll see you later. -Whoo! [chuckles]
-Bye. -[chuckles]
-Hey, Boober. [stutters] You busy? -[humming] Hey.
Yeah, big time.
-I'm making backwards soup. Whoa. [grunts] -Oh.
Whoa. You okay?
[chuckles] Yeah, this is all part of it.
[laughs]

Ad for a sleeping bag I already own, delete.
Job offer, delete.
-[gasps] Wait! No. -[yelps]
Don't delete. "Un-delete."
[chuckles] Sprocket, look. I got a job offer.
-[exclaims] -I applied on a whim.
-I didn't think I'd actually get it. -[grunts, panting]
Look, a real job in the sciences for a company that does hydrodynamics.
[Doc sighs]
-Okay, a company that makes yachts. -[grunts, exclaims]
[sighs] They wanna make the yachts…
[sips, smacks lips, sighs]
You're fantasizing about being on a yacht, aren't you?
-[whimpers] -We are not getting a yacht.
-You understand that, right? -[groans]
It's just a job for a yacht-making company.
-[whimpers] -But it is a big deal
to get a job offer before I even finish my PhD.
-[chuckles] -[barks]
Though… [sighs] …if I take it,
I'll have to give up volunteering at the high school.
-[Sprocket whimpering] -And I love doing that.
-[sighs] This is tough, Sprock. -[sighs]
-How will I decide? [sighs] --[whimpers, sighs]
[laughs] Look at all these big berries, Pa!
-[laughs] Yeah. -Yep. The Gorg-A-Max is working,
-just as I knew it would. -[chuckles] Yeah.
I'm not king of the universe for nothing.
[chuckles] Oh, yeah-- Whoa. Hey, look, a little one too.
-[chuckles] Hey there, little berry. -Get that little berry out of here.
We're a big-berry castle.
Now toss that on the reject pile.
-Aye-aye, Pa. [chuckles] Yeah. -Mmm. Good job, Son.
-Thanks. -We're BBO now. Big berries only.
[chuckles] Lanford, my leafy love.
-This design came to me in a dream… -[Lanford groans]
…and soon it will be a reality on that rock!
Well, maybe not soon. But what is soon in the grand scheme of things, hmm?
But for real, we have so much to do. Let's get started.
[chuckles] Okay, um…
Bye-bye, baby berries. Hmm. Bye-bye.
-[rumbling] -Huh? Uh-- [gasps]
[Junior Gorg chuckles] Yeah.
Oh, no. They're coming this way! [exclaims]
Oh, no! [yelps]
Mmm? Oh, that wasn't close at all.
[gasps] So many strawberries.
-[voice] Hello? -[gasps, yelps]
-Is anyone out there? -Wha-- Uh--
-Help! -Oh, no! Oh, oh!
-Here, let me-- -Yes.
-[strains] -Oh. Like that. [strains]
-[yelps] Oh. Thank you so much. -[panting, sighs]
Oh, that was terrifying.
I was walking along, and I got swept up in an avalanche of berries.
-[chuckles] But you saved me. -[chuckles]
What can I give you? Oh, you like my hat? I'll give you my hat.
You don't have to give me anything. I'm just glad you're all right.
-Well, yes, thanks to you. -[chuckles]
Uh, I must give you something. I-- [gasps]
-What about these berries? -[grunts]
Take these berries. Please take these berries!
Um, sure. [chuckles] I'm Mokey.
[gasps] What a coincidence. That's my name too.
-[shrieks] -[gasps] No, it's not.
That avalanche must have really turned me around. [chuckles]
-[chuckles] -I'm Pryce. [gasps]
Oh, what are you working on here?
-Oh, it's gonna be a mural. -Ah.
It's taking a while, though, 'cause I'm doing it by myself.
-Ooh, strawberries. -[gasps]
[gasps] Can I have one?
-Of course. Help yourself. -Mmm. Thank you.
Ooh. Scrumptious.
-[gasps] Interesting. -Hmm?
-That Fraggle wanted a berry. -Mm-hmm.
You have all these berries,
and you could use some help with your mural.
[gasps] Yes. I also love listing true things.
Wha-- Hear me out.
What if instead of just giving that strawberry away,
-you exchanged it for some help? -[gasps]
That's how we do it where I'm from. It's a system called "this for that."
-[blabbers, imitating Pryce] -Yes!
-I'll tell you about it, but-- -[gasping]
Uh, well, do Fraggles around these parts like songs?
Oh, Pryce. Pryce, Pryce, Pryce.
-[chuckling, grunts] -Yeah. We like songs. [chuckles]
-Well, then follow me. [humming] -[gasps, chuckles]

[Pryce, Mokey chuckle]
-[cave creatures chuckling] -[gasps] Wow. What a fascinating system.
-[Pryce] Mm-hmm. Hmm. -[sighs, gasps]
[humming] Excuse me, hi. Um, I heard there were strawberries around here.
Uh, can I have one?
-Of course-- [gasps] -[clears throat]
-If you help me with my mural? -Huh?
-This for that? -Sure, seems fun! [hums]
-It's working! -I know!
[both chuckling]
-[Wrench] Now where-- -[Turbo grunts, sighs]
-Great work, Trench and Wurbo. -Uh, Wrench and Turbo.
Oh, they're here too? Good.
Now that we've tracked the gusties,
we can direct them to our turbine for renewable power.
So let's collect them with that new gustie sucker thing--
-Mmm. -Wha-- Uh, what are we calling it?
That New Gustie Sucker Thing.
Really? Who named it?
-You did, sir. -Hmm. Perfect.
Start her up.
Here we go! Yeah!
-Whoa, whoa. Okay. Whoa, whoa! -[Wrench] Wow.
-[speaks indistinctly, cackles] -Wow! Whoa. Yeah!
-Look at you go! All right! [chuckles] -[Turbo cackling] This is awesome! Yes!
-Hmm. I think it's going well. Mm-hmm. -[Cotterpin] Mm-hmm.
Here we go, Sprock. We're gonna make this decision.
[barks]
-Pro-con scale. -[barks]
Reasons for taking the job on the pro side,
reasons for not taking the job on the con side.
-[grunts] -It's fun, it's visual, it's effective.
-[chuckles] I'll say it. We're geniuses. -[grunts, barking]
Okay, okay.
First up on the pro side is this boot,
representing the fact that if I take the job,
I can walk away from my pirate-waitressing gig. Huh?
-[grunting] -Ooh. Also, I can buy new boots.
-[Sprocket grunts] -But this clock goes on the con side
because I'm not sure
if working for a yacht company is how I want to spend my time.
-[Doc chuckles] -[laughing]
-[clicks tongue] Ugh, even Steven. [sighs] -[groans]
Sprock, how will we ever decide?
Ooh! [humming]
Again, dude, not getting a yacht. Bark twice if you understand me.
-[barks, barks] -Okay. [inhales deeply]
-[humming, chuckles] Oh. -[Gobo] This is really coming together.
-[Gobo] What beautiful brushwork, Wembley. -[chuckles] Berries for my buds.
W-- [chuckles] We don't need any strawberries.
Yeah. This is the most fun I've had since the last time I had fun.
-[chuckles] Mm-mmm. -I didn't get any strawberries for that.
Oh, but it's my way of saying I value your contribution.
[grunts] This for that.
-[babbles, imitating Pryce] -Mm-hmm.
Huh, value.
You know, my uncle Matt was just talking about that in his latest postcard.
-I don't wanna hear about that. -What?
-[Pryce grunts] -I'm kidding! [cackles]
I want to hear everything.
-Tell me, tell me. -[chuckles] Okay.
-[chuckling] -[Wembley] Read it! [chuckles]
Um. [clears throat] "Dear Nephew Gobo
and any other Fraggles who might be listening."
-That's you, pal. Yeah. -[gasps]
[Matt] The other day, I found myself in a sleepy little town
with almost nothing going on.
Hmm.
[Matt] But what I did find was Silly Creatures
struggling to get a grip on gravity.
[cheering]
That's when I spotted something of incredible value…
[exclaims]
Some rare and beautiful paper. I had to have it.
[gasps, clears throat] Explorer coming through. Excuse me.
-[whimpering] Whoa! [struggling] -[dancers cheering]
[Matt] While I elegantly attempted to reach the treasure,
kind Silly Creatures fed my hat.
They obviously thought it was hungry.
[grunts, gasps]
[Matt] Unfortunately,
another explorer with an elaborate contraption got to it before I could.
Wait, wait! No, I saw it first!
[Matt] They knew a valuable piece of paper when they saw it.
And what was I left with?
[scoffs] Hat food. It didn't appeal to me, probably because I'm not a hat.
"But I send it to you, Nephew.
Feed it to your many hats
and tell them your Uncle Traveling Matt says, 'You're welcome, hats.'"
-Huh. Hmm. -[Wembley chuckles]
-[both grunt] -[Wembley chuckles]
-[chomps] -Here you go.
Uh, what's that for?
Well, for reading the postcard. I found it quite valuable.
Wait, so we can get strawberries for doing other things,
not just working on the mural?
Abso-fruit-ly, "this for that" works for everything.
[babbles, imitating Pryce]
[both gasp]
Wait, are we getting an idea
or are we just looking at each other 'cause it's fun?
Both! Come on.
[grunts, imitating Gobo]
-[laughs] Have fun. -[chuckles] This for that. I like it.
Cotterpin for Measure. Measure, do you copy?
Go for Measure.
That was a two-second "go" by the way.
We have the wind that we'll be converting to power.
Prepare the radishes for high-efficiency Doozer stick production.
Copy that.
-One hitch, we're almost out of radishes. -[Cotterpin] Huh.
Attention all radish collectors!
Check every harvesting site, I repeat, check every harvesting site.
Every harvesting site!
Uh, you said that three times.
I know! It's an emergency!
[Fraggles chattering]
♪ Their name is Pogey Not Hoagey or Togey ♪
♪ That's P-O-G-E-Y Oh, yeah! Ha! ♪
-Wow! Thanks, Gobo. -Aw, sure.
-That's my new favorite song! -[chuckles]
-I'm Pogey! -I know!
Oh, wow! [gasps]
[grunting, hums]
-[gasping] -[chuckles]
Oh, my. [chuckles] How did you-- [mutters]
-[sighs] Here's your berry. Well earned. -[gasps]
-[Wembley chuckles] -What is this?
You're getting berries for doing the stuff you always do?
Oh, well, actually, Red,
it's a very sophisticated system called "this for that" and basically--
Yeah, yeah. I got it.
Two strawberries for one dive! Three gets you four!
Four gets you a dive and a swim to the end of the pond! Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Can you imagine doing work just to get something in exchange?
Work itself is the reward. Everybody knows that.
Honestly, I don't know why Fraggles do half the things they do.
[grunts]
[humming] Ah? Hmm.
Ah. It is wondrous to behold, isn't it, Lanford?
-[sighs] -[mumbles]
Hey, Mokey. Can I paint some? I need to get some strawberries.
What? You don't like strawberries.
[chuckles] You're right.
But the Bubble Bubbies who make my soap stone… [sighs]
…they won't do it unless I give them a strawberry.
-They won't? -No.
-Nah! -Can't do it, tall stuff.
[laughs]
[sighs] Things have really changed around here.
-[Lanford grunts] -Really? They have?
Next in line, step right up!
If you wanna dive, have those berries ready!
Red?
-Thank you! -[exclaims, groans]
I'll tell you the secret of life for a strawberry.
-All right. What's the secret of life? -What?
I don't know, do you? I'll give you a strawberry if you tell me.
-Oh, no. -Yeah, all right.
-[slowly] Then the Gigglepus giggled. -[gasps]
-[laughing] -[sighs]
-Okay, chapter seven… -[sighs]
Whee!
-Whoa! Oh, no, my hat! [grunts] -Here you go.
Oh, I can't take it.
I gave Grizzard my last strawberry for this ride,
so I have nothing left to give you for your help.
You think you owe me something for my help? No, no, no, no, no!
[Barry Blueberry] It was then that Mokey realized
the "this for that" system had infected Fraggle Rock
-in ways she could no longer control… -[grunts, gasps]
-…threatening their communal way of life. -[sighs]
-That good? Can I have my berry now? -[gasps]
-[laughs] -[sighs]
Barry want his berry.
-…eight, nine, ten! -[Philo, Gunge giggling]
-[Gunge] She's never gonna find us. -Dirty or not, here I trash!
-Philo, you're in the pizza box. -Huh?
-Gunge, you're under the lampshade. -What?
[laughing]
Wh-- Huh? How did you know?
[grunts] These were the perfect hiding spots.
I am all-seeing and all-knowing.
-[groans] -Plus, you pick the same spots every time.
-[Philo] Mm-hmm. -[Gunge] Blah.
Oh, little Fraggle, your sighs are so heavy,
they're fogging up Gunge's sunglasses.
-Oh, no. That's just cheese residue. -It's a Gouda.
[laughs] Yeah.
Madam Trash Heap, I'm worried Fraggle Rock has lost its way.
-Compelling. -Quite the opening line. Gripping.
Everyone's demanding strawberries for things we used to do
just because they made us happy.
[clicks tongue] Ah, the old "this for that" system.
-Fraught. Mmm. -Oh, dubious.
Let me ask you something, young Fraggle. What do you value?
Oh. Well… [chuckles] …so many things, I--
Okay, well, I'll go.
-I value Philo. -[gasps]
-I value Gunge. -Aw.
They make me feel like the luckiest all-seeing,
all-knowing trash heap in the world.
Oh, Marjory.
But you're the only all-seeing, all-knowing trash heap in the world.
-So? I'm still the luckiest. -[scoffs]
I have the most valuable thing in the world, and I ain't talking berries.
Now, again, Mokey Fraggle. What do you value?
[gasps]
-[whimpering] -[Doc] Ugh. I still can't decide
whether to take this job or keep volunteering at the high school.
-[sighs] -I mean, something's gotta tip the scale,
but what's it gonna be?
[Sprocket whimpers]
Ugh, delivery. Maybe the job's salary will tip it.
-[grunts, groans] -If we have money, we can move
and stop getting packages for some guy named Gobo Fraggle.
-Oh, hang on. This one's for me. -[grunts]
[gasps] Aw. It's from my high school students.
-[exclaims] -[clears throat] "Dear Miss Doc."
[chuckles] Do they actually think my last name is Doc?
-We'll fix that. -[grunts]
"We were inspired by your lessons on renewable energy
and wanted you to see this diorama of tidal currents
we observed at the beach."
Aw, I'm getting through to them.
[sighs] I may not be getting money but I'm getting something way more valuable.
-Okay. It's a clump of wet sand… -[grunting]
…but they tried.
-Ha! Decision made. [chuckles] -[groans]
[clicks tongue] Oh.
We'll go on a boat someday, Captain.
-[chuckles] -[barks, panting]
-[blows] -[shouts]
Attention, everyone! Big event in the Great Hall.
-Oh, I'm abso-fruit-ly buzzing. [chuckles] -How many strawberries do we need?
The more you give, the more you get.
-[Fraggles] Oh. -Mm-hmm.
I want to show you the most valuable thing in the world--
What is it? What is it?
I bet it's Lanford related.
Do you remember the mural we painted for Lanford?
Told ya.
Icy Joe?
-[Icy Joe] Ooh, okay. -[Lanford grunts]
[straining] Coming through.
-Huh? -Mm-hmm.
This mural is now officially a communal table.
Everyone please place your strawberries on top of it.
What's happening?
What are we going to get?
You get this.
Isn't this what we all used to value more than anything? Just being together?
-Huh? -Ah.

and I appreciate you're sharing it with us.
It's just not how we do things here. I'm sorry.
Oh, please don't apologize.
You all showed me an amazing, new way to be,

Have you found anything in the Gorgs' garden yet?
No radishes, base, I repeat, no new radishes are growing.

Oh, my. [clicks tongue]
