Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 2, Episode 12 - Off Road Hog - full transcript
While touring the desert, Ma-Ti is surprised how many animals live there - but is even more shocked to see that it's the spot Hoggish Greedly has chosen for his off-road racing, despite the threats his guide Josh says it gives to the animals there. Gaia reveals also that even small vehicles cause bad damage by unleashing much sand that will be eroded during a rain and prevent plants and animals from surviving. The other Planeteers join Ma-Ti and Josh to find Greedly already attacking, getting a young dirt-biker named Pete on his side by claiming there's nothing to worry about destroying so his enemies are pointless thorns. Captain Planet takes Greedly's and Rigger's road-hogs to prevent the race, but after a sandstorm hits, Pete, whose dirt-bike was stolen by Greedly, is rescued by the Planeteers and, realizing what racing would really do to the environment, reveals it will still be held. He, Josh, and the Planeteers have to stop it from happening before more problems occur, like the flood that occurs during a rainfall...
Our world is in peril.
Gaia, the spirit of the Earth,
can no longer stand
the terrible destruction
plaguing our planet.
She sends five magic rings
to five special young people --
Kwame from Africa,
with the power of Earth.
[ Sirens wailing ]
From North America -- Wheeler,
with the power of fire.
**
From the Soviet Union -- Linka,
with the power of wind.
From Asia -- Gi,
with the power of water.
**
And from South America --
Ma-Ti, with the power of heart.
When the five powers combine,
they summon
Earth's greatest champion --
Captain Planet!
All: Go, Planet!
Captain Planet:
The power is yours!

[ Grunting ]
[ Wind blowing ]
Come on, Ma-Ti.
There's one more rock.
[ Grunts ]
Ever see anything
so pretty?
Josh, you are kidding,
right?
[ Chuckles ]
Ah, Josh ain't
Joshing you, Ma-Ti.
It's no rain forest,
but to me, it's every bit
as alive and beautiful.
[ Monkey chitters ]
But it is so barren --
no animals,
no plants.

[ Monkey screeches ]
Don't worry,
little feller.
The rattler was just warning you
to back off.
[ Monkey whimpers ]
No life
in the desert, eh?
Guess we were wrong,
eh, Suchi?
This old desert's
full of life.
My guide business
depends on keeping it that way.
[ Vehicles approaching ]
What is that sound?
I don't know for sure,
but I have a sneaking feeling
it ain't good.
Oh, no. Hoggish Greedly
and Rigger.
[ Laughs ]
I'll run you right off the road,
Rigger.
Sure, sure, sure, boss.
Only, we're already
off the road.
[ Kangaroo rat chitters ]
**
Greedly and his dang off-road
hogs are wrecking this place.
Come on!
**
[ Engine revs, tires squeal ]
Those fools are heading right
for that tortoise burrow.
Stop! Stop!
Ma-Ti, watch out, boy!
Do not hurt the --
Ugh!
No!
Gee, that looked like
one of those eco-brats.
Nah, couldn't be. Nah.
Josh,
can we save it?
Yep.
We got this one
just in time.
Is the desert tortoise
an endangered animal?
Yep. Of course, with them off-
roaders tearing up the desert,
every animal's endangered.
Look.
[ Snake rattles ]
Normally that kangaroo rat
could hear that sidewinder,
but now,
after all that noise...
[ Rat squeaks, snake hisses ]
I just don't know
what to do.
I do. Heart!
Ma-Ti:
We must stop Greedly.
His off-road hogs are turning
the desert into a wasteland.
What's Ma-Ti talking about?
I thought that's what
a desert was.
No, but that's the way it will
be if Greedly has his way.
The desert has a thin layer
of soil where plants grow.
Off-road vehicles
crush the soil,
so when the rains come,
instead of absorbing the water,
it washes away.
But without soil,
plants cannot grow.
And then things really get hot
for animals
who the need plants to hide them
from the sun,
as well as predators.
Are even
little dirt bikes bad?
You mean like that one?
Every mile, it displaces
1,500 pounds of topsoil.
Almost a ton.
Heavy.
Desert soil can take 1,000 years
to build up.
And Greedly's recreational
bulldozes
can destroy it
in 1 second.
They won't
when we get through with them.
Let's jet!
[ Engines rev, tires squeal ]
Rigger: They're coming
from all over
for the Battle
of the Off-Road Hogs!
Another entry fee!
Yep, yep! I got to
hand it to you, boss.
You bet your bacon
you got to hand it to me.
[ Snorts ]
Just one little hitch,
boss. Just one.
I think I saw one of those
planet twerps out in the desert.
Why didn't you
tell me sooner?
I don't want Captain Planet
crashing my race!
We got to find that brat!
[ Snorts ]
Come on!
[ Engines start ]
[ Tires squeal ]
[ Engine starts ]
[ Tires squeal ]
[ Engine revs ]
Now, that's my kind
of kid.
[ Snorts ]
Oh, those are the coolest wheels
I've ever seen.
Come on.
Rev up your dirt bike
and help us straighten out
a certain planet punk!
[ Tires squeal ]
These --
these environmental eggheads
just want to ruin our fun.
After all, there's nothing
out here but sand.
I catch your drift,
Mr. Greedly!
Let's go
run them off!
Yep. Yep.
That's him, all right.
On second thought,
leave the squirt here.
I don't want
any witnesses.
Uh, Pete,
you keep watch here
while we scare these eco-nuts
away.
[ Engine starts ]
[ Snorts ]
Sure thing,
Mr. Greedly.
[ Tires squeal ]
[ Gasps ]
**
It looks like
a dust devil down there.
Yes, a devil
named Greedly.
[ Engine shuts off ]
Water!
[ Coughing ]
Wind!
Hey! Hey! Hey! She's getting
sand in my dune buggy.
Fire!
Ouch! Ow! Ow! Hot stuff!
Earth!
Aah!
Put me down,
you eco-maniacs!
Way to go, Kwame!
Oh, yeah?
Well, your little plan's
about to backfire.
[ Engine revving ]
[ All coughing ]
[ Coughs ]
Too polluted for my ring!
[ Coughs ]
[ Revving continues ]
Now we'll take these eco-geeks
for a real joy ride.
[ Snorts ]
[ All coughing ]
Let's get out of here!
This smog is too much
for us to handle!
Now,
let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Wait for me!
[ Panting ]
Heart!
Captain Planet:
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
[ Tires squeal ]
Huh?
Uh, we were
just leaving.
[ Scoffs ]
Not so soon,
Greedly.
I'd like to take a spin myself.
Just need to tap into
some underground water.
Where did he go?
Ta-da! Here I am.
I'm a master
of dis-geyser.
[ Chuckles ]
And now for my next...
how about some quicksand?
Aah!
He mired our tires.
Ugh!
Uh-oh. I got a sinking feeling
about this.
Planet,
you can't do this!
You know how much
those babies set me back?
No, but I know how much
you set this desert back --
about 1,000 years!
Yow!
Hey, kid,
get up here!
What?
[ Engine revs ]
Need a lift,
Mr. Greedly?
No, but you do.
Aah!
Hey! My bike!
[ Engine revs ]
Hey, wait!
Wait for me!
Rigger:
Take a hike, kid!
Well, look at that.
Drying up again.
I know they call it quicksand,
but this is ridiculous.
I'll be back in a sec.
[ Watch ticking ]
What took you, Cap?
Long line
at the recycling center.
This trend
must be catching on.
Right you are, Planeteers.
The power is yours!
Where did
the off-road hogs go?
They got recycled.
Recycled?!
Oh, boy, Greedly was right
about you eco-nuts.
You're trying to ruin
everyone's fun.
You can have plenty of fun
in this desert
without destroying it.
Yeah, right.
There's nothing here
to destroy or have fun with.
[ Wind whistling ]
You couldn't be more wrong.
Huh?
Oh, no! Quick!
Cover your faces!
Bozhe moi!
What is this?
More off-road hogs?
[ Wind whistling ]
Heart!
Kwame!
Ma-Ti, can you find
the others?!
Over there!
Wheeler, Gi, Linka,
grab hold of us!
Are we all here?
All except
that other boy!
His name is Pete,
and he needs help fast!
[ Coughs ]
Somebody help me!
Earth!
[ Coughs ]
Okay, got him!
Now what?
Follow that fox!
There's a cave!
This way!
Pete: Who says?
My friends, that's who.
[ Animals calling ]
They know where to go
in a storm.
Man, I never saw so much sand
blowing in my life.
Well, your dirt bike
tore up quite a bit of it.
What did Gaia say,
"For each mile, 3/4 ton"?
I got that much
in my shoe.
But Greedly said there
was nothing in the desert
worth worrying about.
You still believe that
after seeing all these critters?
And after Greedly
sandbagged you?
No.
I owe you all an apology...
and my life.
When we get back
to the off-road hog trough,
I'm gonna tell everybody just
what Greedly's trying to pull.
Oh, my gosh!
The race!
What race, Pete?
The Battle
of the Off-Road Hogs.
There's gonna be hundreds
of those things
tearing across the desert!
No!
When the storm is over,
we must find a way to stop them!
[ Engines idling ]
Hey, boss, how can you
start the race
when you're in the race?
Huh? Huh?
I started by giving myself
a head start
so I can hog
all the prize money.
Gee, they didn't name you
Hoggish for nothing.
Nope. Nope.
[ Engines revving ]
On your marks...
Yikes!
...get set...
[ Gunshot ]
[ Tires squeal ]
Hey, wait a second!
You crumbs...
[ Gears grinding ]
...didn't give me
[ Engine revs ]
...time to cheat!
[ Tires squeal ]
[ Bird squawks ]
**
[ Tires squeal ]
**
The one thing I hate eating
is other people's dust!
[ Coughing ]
Wheeler: We couldn't have
left the Geo-Cruiser here.
I don't remember
this sand dune.
Yet it has
a familiar shape.
Wind!
Good job, Linka.
Let's go!
[ Vehicles approaching ]
Listen.
The race is starting!
We got to hurry!
No use! The intakes
are packed with sand.
They'll take hours
to clean.
Pete:
I may have an idea.
What is it, Pete?
Well, before I started
dirt biking,
I used to hang glide.
Sure!
We've got parachutes
and aluminum tubing
here on the Geo-Cruiser.
[ Thunder rumbles ]
Better hurry. Looks like we may
be in for a cloudburst.
[ Rumbling continues ]
[ Zap! ]
Sure you don't want
to try hang gliding, Josh?
Eh, climbing rocks
is excitement enough for me.
I'll catch up to you.
Watch carefully
and do what I do.
**
Look at this mess!
Stay above that smog cloud,
or our rings won't work!
There they are! Up ahead!
[ Engines rev ]
Oh, no! Oh, no!
It's those cactus huggers
again.
They're really
bringing me down.
Well, I'm going to bring them
down with my lasso gun.
Hey!
**
[ Gasps ]
Aah! Aah!
Ugh!
I'm coming for you,
Ma-Ti!
[ Monkey chitters ]
[ Engine revs ]
Oh, no!
You don't get away that easy!
[ Engine revs ]
Better let me go.
He's -- he's catching up.
Never!
Aw, ain't that touching?
[ Both coughing ]
Whoa!
Ugh!
[ Panting ]
Come on, Pete!
Let's get out of here!
Too late for that,
eco-geeks.
[ Thunder rumbles ]
We've got to land
on that mesa now!
Josh was right!
It is a cloudburst!
[ Laughs ]
So what? A little rain
never hurt anybody.
[ Rumbling ]
Say, what's going on?
Now you see what
destroying the desert soil does?
It's all
running off.
We must get
to high ground!
Hey, don't tell me
this is a...
Flash flood!
Whoa!
Ma-Ti, come on!
Come! We need to find
the others.
Yah!
I -- I ain't got
a boating license.
Somebody, help!
Kwame, let us put a cap
on this flood.
Yes.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
Captain Planet:
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Whoa!
Nice to meet you, too, Pete.
[ Chuckles ]
But I can't chat.
I got a little drainage problem
to clean up.
Whoa.
All: Go, Planet!
**
Maybe while
you're drying out,
you'll consider
taking up a new hobby.
More off-road hogs
headed for trouble.
Buckle your seat belts,
everyone.
Whoa!
I can't swim.
Help! Somebody!
Hope this is
a legal U-turn.
Help! Help! Oh, help!
Maybe this will teach you
to clean up your act.
Ugh!
[ Groans ]
What about me?
Please! I'll turn over
a new leaf!
I promise!
[ Sighs ] Now, that's
what I call hogwash.
Aah!
Bull's-eye!
With all these junked
off-road hogs,
I may have to open
my own recycling center.
Looks like Greedly's off-road
business is all washed up.
Good. I like climbing rocks
better anyway.
Let us try this one.
[ Laughter ]
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
The desert
is a wonderful place.
But while it looks rugged,
it is really very fragile.
Damage from off-road vehicles
and dirt bikes
takes a long time to heal.
These ruts were left by military
training half a century ago.
Plants have a hard enough time
growing in the desert.
Do not make it worse for them.
If you're camping,
bring your own firewood.
Look at the wild flowers,
but do not pick them.
You can enjoy the desert
without destroying it.
The power is yours!
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
So many cars.
So much pollution.
Smog is bad for
all living things.
But you can help.
There are lots of ways to get
around that don't pollute.
[ Laughter ]
And when you get
your own cruiser...
Keep it tuned up
and your tires
properly inflated.
Remember, drive safe.
Drive clean.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
* Captain Planet
* He's our hero
* Gonna take pollution
down to zero *
* He's our powers magnified
* And he's fighting
on the planet's side *
* Captain Planet
* He's our hero
* Gonna take pollution
down to zero *
* Gonna help him put asunder
* Bad guys who like
to loot and plunder *
You'll pay for this,
Captain Planet!
* We're the Planeteers,
you can be one, too *
* 'Cause saving our planet
is the thing to do *
* Looting and polluting
is not the way *
* Hear what Captain Planet
has to say *
The power is yours!

Stay above that smog cloud,
or our rings won't work!
There they are! Up ahead!
[ Engines rev ]
Oh, no! Oh, no!
It's those cactus huggers
again.
They're really
bringing me down.
Well, I'm going to bring them
down with my lasso gun.
Hey!
**
[ Gasps ]
Aah! Aah!
Ugh!
I'm coming for you,
Ma-Ti!
[ Monkey chitters ]
[ Engine revs ]
Oh, no!
You don't get away that easy!
[ Engine revs ]
Better let me go.
He's -- he's catching up.
Never!
Aw, ain't that touching?
[ Both coughing ]
Whoa!
Ugh!
[ Panting ]
Come on, Pete!
Let's get out of here!
Too late for that,
eco-geeks.
[ Thunder rumbles ]
We've got to land
on that mesa now!
Josh was right!
It is a cloudburst!
[ Laughs ]
So what? A little rain
never hurt anybody.
[ Rumbling ]
Say, what's going on?
Now you see what
destroying the desert soil does?
It's all
running off.
We must get
to high ground!
Hey, don't tell me
this is a...
Flash flood!
Whoa!
Ma-Ti, come on!
Come! We need to find
the others.
Yah!
I -- I ain't got
a boating license.
Somebody, help!
Kwame, let us put a cap
on this flood.
Yes.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
Captain Planet:
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Whoa!
Nice to meet you, too, Pete.
[ Chuckles ]
But I can't chat.
I got a little drainage problem
to clean up.
Whoa.
All: Go, Planet!
**
Maybe while
you're drying out,
you'll consider
taking up a new hobby.
More off-road hogs
headed for trouble.
Buckle your seat belts,
everyone.
Whoa!
I can't swim.
Help! Somebody!
Hope this is
a legal U-turn.
Help! Help! Oh, help!
Maybe this will teach you
to clean up your act.
Ugh!
[ Groans ]
What about me?
Please! I'll turn over
a new leaf!
I promise!
[ Sighs ] Now, that's
what I call hogwash.
Aah!
Bull's-eye!
With all these junked
off-road hogs,
I may have to open
my own recycling center.
Looks like Greedly's off-road
business is all washed up.
Good. I like climbing rocks
better anyway.
Let us try this one.
[ Laughter ]
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
The desert
is a wonderful place.
But while it looks rugged,
it is really very fragile.
Damage from off-road vehicles
and dirt bikes
takes a long time to heal.
These ruts were left by military
training half a century ago.
Plants have a hard enough time
growing in the desert.
Do not make it worse for them.
If you're camping,
bring your own firewood.
Look at the wild flowers,
but do not pick them.
You can enjoy the desert
without destroying it.
The power is yours!
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
So many cars.
So much pollution.
Smog is bad for
all living things.
But you can help.
There are lots of ways to get
around that don't pollute.
[ Laughter ]
And when you get
your own cruiser...
Keep it tuned up
and your tires
properly inflated.
Remember, drive safe.
Drive clean.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
* Captain Planet
* He's our hero
* Gonna take pollution
down to zero *
* He's our powers magnified
* And he's fighting
on the planet's side *
* Captain Planet
* He's our hero
* Gonna take pollution
down to zero *
* Gonna help him put asunder
* Bad guys who like
to loot and plunder *
You'll pay for this,
Captain Planet!
* We're the Planeteers,
you can be one, too *
* 'Cause saving our planet
is the thing to do *
* Looting and polluting
is not the way *
* Hear what Captain Planet
has to say *
The power is yours!
