* VerbalBackspace: Doc does this while he's trying to fix the plumbing and develop a more positive attitude.
-->'''Doc:''' Well, the first positive thing to do is to create some space to maneuver in this place. Oh, I'll just move this stupid basket... I mean, of course, this extremely useful basket.\\
''[He sticks his head into the hole he's made in the floor and begins tinkering with a wrench.]''\\
'''Doc:''' It's so dark under this floor, I can't see a thing. ''[Catches himself.]'' But then, even though it's dark under the floor, there's no reason why there can't be a light... in my heart!\\

* HaplessSelfHelp: Wembley, after his indecisiveness causes Gobo to fall in a hole, seeks the help of Convincing John, a Fraggle who can convince anyone of anything. John makes Wembley decisive but also arrogant, bossy, stubborn, and prone to dangerous choices. His friends drag him back to Convincing John to have the process reversed, just in time to hear John singing a lament about being unable to make up his mind about anything, including which foot to put out of bed first after a nap.
