Wembley: What's wrong with me, I feel so strange. So sad. So bored. ... I feel weird! It's like being lonely, but you don't want to talk to anybody, and like being hungry except you don't wanna eat. And it's like being sleepy in your head but your feet feel like playing.
Goober: Uh-huh, you feel weird!
Wembley: Yeah. I need help.
Goober: Maybe I can help. I'll get my book of strange moods and weird feelings and see if I can find anything.
Later...
Wembley: i guess I'll just sit here and stare at the ceiling forever.
Goober: Wembley! Wembley, I found you in my book! You have all the symptoms of someone who's life has no meaning!
Wembley: Oh, yeah? Well, I guess I'll just have to get some then...
Goober: Are you kidding? Finding meaning is one of the most difficult things you can do. You have to search and suffer and struggle and strain.
Wembley: Gee, does it really have to be that hard?
Goober: Wembley, yours is a hard, torturous journey. We're not talking about something that's just going to fall out of the sky...
Of course, then the Prince Gorg shakes an egg out of a tree and it falls into the fraggles world and Wembley is the only one who knows that a "baby tree creature" comes out of them. So he sits on the egg, it hatches, and the baby bird calls him mama... but that first part... I've had that indescribable mood so many times in my life...
