Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 2, Episode 3 - Domes of Doom - full transcript
While Ma-Ti and Wheeler visit Ma-Ti's village in the Amazon, they learn a man called Baron Giftus promises to show the countries of the world a solution to Earth's air-pollution problem - though none of them realize it's a trick of Looten Plunder's. While Wheeler, who doubts his promise, stays behind, Ma-Ti goes to Washington DC with the gift of a headdress from his tribe - and learns of the man's true identity when he sees Argos Bleak and uses Heart to see through Plunder's disguise as Giftus, but he is captured and his ring is stolen so he can't contact the others. Back on Hope Island, the remaining Planeteers become aware of the situation when Plunder reveals that he's installing plastic domes around every civilization with tubes to remove foul and release pure air - at a price, which no town can afford to refuse since the smog trapped inside the plastic is unbearable. Trapped himself under one of these back in the rainforest, Wheeler tries to figure out how to escape and free Ma-Ti, and join the others to summon Captain Planet and put Plunder Air out of business.
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!
Gi: And now back to
"Captain Planet".
[ Birds chirping ]
**
Now!
**
Let's go!
[ Animals chittering ]
We cut the bark,
being carful
not harm the tree.
We catch the sap, then boil it,
and it turns...
Into this!
That's fascinating,
Ma-Ti,
but somehow I doubt I'll ever
need to make rubber
in the jungle.
Okay, Wheeler.
What do you
want to do?
I don't know.
Let's take a walk.
[ Inhales deeply ]
Man, the air here
is so fresh.
You know what I'd be doing
right now if I was in New York?
Visiting the tall buildings?
Seeing the bright lights?
Sweating,
choking on smog...
And think how much worse
the planet would be
without the forest
to cool and clean the air.
[ Monkey chittering ]
What is it, Suchi?
Uh-oh! Smoke!
This place is starting to
look like New York.
We better
check this out!
[ Monkey chitters ]
Stop!
What do you mean stop?
We are clearing this land
to farm it.
But you'll end up
killing it!
You listen, rich boy.
We have more right to
this forest than you.
Nobody has the right
to destroy.
Forest provides life
for the Indians.
You will only be able
to farm it for a few years
before the soil gives out.
So? Who cares?
Then we just move on.
Fire!
Uh, on second thought,
maybe we should move on now.
But we're coming back!
And if they do not,
others will.
Well, it's a good thing
the Indians have us
to protect them.
Wheeler, the Indians are not
as helpless as you think.
But can anyone
stop people
from trying to develop
this forest?
Hey, look. The Geo-Cruiser.
They're heading for the village.
Ma-Ti, you will not
believe what has happened.
Because I believe so strongly
in preserving
our precious forests,
I'm pleased to announce
the world's leaders
have accepted my offer
to put all the Earth's forests
under my protection.
Outstanding!
It's a miracle!
Tomorrow we sign
the agreement
at the presidential palace.
And then your forests
will be safe.
The man is a saint.
Yeah, right.
A regular Santa Claus.
So what's his angle?
Wheeler,
don't be such a cynic.
I'm just saying it sounds
too good to be true.
I think we should send someone
to that ceremony tomorrow
to thank Baron Giftus.
Maybe we could give him
a ceremonial headdress.
Yes, to show
we are pleased.
It should be you, Ma-Ti.
He's right. Ma-Ti,
you should be the one to go.
Woman:
It's a wise decision.
You can give that guy
a headdress,
but I bet he gives you
the shaft.
All right, fellas,
that's enough for today.
Baron Giftus is tired.
[ Tires squeal ]
Ha ha ha!
You pulled it off!
Was there any doubt?
Another patented piece
of skullduggery
by Looten Plunder.
[ Laughs ]
Boss, you got more duggery
in your skull than anyone.
Which is how
I cornered the market
on the most vital resource
in the world -- cool, clean air.
This will please
Baron Giftus.
Look, if it's okay
with the shaman,
I think I'll stick around here
and look after the tribe.
You are welcome to stay,
Wheeler.
And we will look
after you, too.
[ Monkey chitters ]
Suchi, it is all right.
The headdress is for
our new friend Baron Giftus.
If we're going to drop you
at the ceremony,
we've got to hurry!
Go with the spirits
of the forest.
There's the capital,
dead ahead.
The heat and smog get worse
every month.
Bozhe moi!
It would be easier to see
through a bowl of borscht.
I worry about this city.
Worry about us.
Smog is clogging
the air-intake filters.
The Geo-Cruiser's
overheating!
We are losing altitude.
Linka: Look out!
[ All scream ]
Whoa!
[ All scream,
monkey chitters ]
Hang on!
Good flying, Gi.
We made it!
There is
the presidential palace.
[ Engine shuts off ]
That filter must really
be clogged.
It sure is. Look at these
smog particles.
Smog particles --
I will blow them away.
Wind!
Look at this.
It is so smoggy,
my powers are almost gone.
Baron Giftus is not saving
the forests a day too soon.
The smog in the city
could not be worse.
The scary thing is,
it could!
Okay, try it now, Kwame.
[ Engine starts ]
All right,
it is time to go.
Kwame: Good luck
with your speech, Ma-Ti.
[ Indistinct talking ]
[ Tires squeal ]
[ Camera shutter clicks ]
It is with the headdress
of my people
that I present you
our gratitude.
No, it's with the gratitude.
The people's gratitude!
Ha ha ha!
[ Gasps ]
Argos Bleak!
[ Monkey chitters ]
Shh!
Baron Giftus!
I must warn you about that man
Argos Bleak.
I know him.
And he is evil.
Don't worry, Ma-Ti.
I won't let him
cause any harm.
[ Gasps ]
How could he
know my name?
We have never met.
Or have we?
Heart!
[ Gasps ]
He is no friend of the forests.
He is...
[ Monkey chitters ]
Aah! Oh!
...Looten Plunder!
You little ape!
I must warn everyone before they
give him control of our forests.
Bleak!
Get that planet twerp.
Right, Mr. P.
Hans! Wiley!
Coming, Mr. Bleak.
[ Monkey chitters ]
Grab him!
Aah!
Ooh!
Idiots!
That pint-sized King Kong
is making monkeys
out of you!
Don't worry.
We'll nab him, boss.
Get up there,
boys!
Uh-oh!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Bleak, what circus
did your two clowns come from?
Ugh!
Got you!
I'll take that.
Get them out of here.
Put me down!
[ Monkey chittering ]
Shut up, both of you!
No one's gonna hear you
way out here.
At least the air is clean
in this pumping station.
I must try to call
the others.
Heart!
Oh, no, you don't.
Give me my ring back!
Nothing's gonna stop
Mr. Plunder's plan.
So forget about your friends
coming after you.
Suchi,
Wheeler was right
about putting my faith
in Giftus.
I am such a fool.
[ Sniffles ]
[ Chitters ]
Ladies and gentlemen,
today is an important day
in the history of our planet.
[ Chuckles ] It looks like
his beard is on crooked.
You are right.
The signing of this document
will dramatically
affect pollution.
Kwame:
Hey, I do not see Ma-Ti.
Neither do I.
Where is he?
Something strange
is going on.
Now I will guarantee
cool, clean air in our cities.
[ Crowd cheering ]
There is, however,
one snag.
The forests I control are the
air-conditioners of the planet.
If you want to keep your cities
cool and clean,
you're going to have to pay
through the nose for it.
[ Laughs evill ]
[ Crowd gasps ]
Bozhe moi!
No!
So, all you heads of state,
get out your checkbooks.
It'll cost you
mucho dinero.
Air is our birthright! We will
never, never pay for it!
[ Blow ]
[ Laughs ]
Senor presidenté, I'll make you
choke on those words.
Gaia,
this is awful.
And it'll get
a lot worse, Kwame.
Plunder has already begun
to cover every forest on Earth
with domes.
And what are
those tubes?
Giant hoses.
Plunder will use one to pump
smoggy air out of the city
and the other to return air
purified by the forests.
Look at that!
There's one of the domes
being carried
to the Amazon rain forest.
Where Wheeler is!
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
Hey! Stop!
What's going on?!
Plunder?
What's he doing here?
No!
[ Breathing heavily ]
Ow!
[ Groans ]
**
Somebody! Help!
No! Stop!
Ma-Ti: Do not lose heart.
The Planeteers will return.
Linka: And now,
back to "Captain Planet".
**
Fire!
All right!
**
Wow!
What is that thing?
Fire!
Not even warm.
What? Oh, no! The village!
[ All murmuring ]
I'll find a way out.
I promise.
These belonged
to a botanist,
also a good friend.
Thanks.
Now let's see if we can find out
what's going on.
We must follow this wall.
[ Air rushing ]
[ All coughing ]
I don't know what that creep
Plunder is up to.
But if there's a hose
coming in,
there must be one
going out!
For now,
Wheeler is probably okay.
If you call being stuck under
a giant salad bowl okay.
But where is Ma-Ti? We need him
to call Captain Planet.
And in a hurry,
because without forests,
Earth will suffer much worse
heat and smog.
Look at Athens.
Bleak: Mr. Mayor,
let's be blunt.
The smog in your air is eating
away at your ancient monuments.
People are sweltering
in your worst heat wave ever,
but Plunder Air has the answer
to your problems.
[ Coughs ]
You at Plunder Air made
our problem twice as bad.
Let's not talk
about the past.
In this bottle,
my friend, is pure air
straight from
the nearest forest --
cool, clean,
and available...
[ Sniffs ]
...at a price.
This is blackmail!
Hey, pal, this is business,
here.
If you ever want to see
the Acropolis again,
all the ocean for that matter,
you's better cut a deal,
like Los Angeles
is doing.
**
Plunder: Your city council
can breathe easy.
You're hooked up
to Plunder Air.
[ Labored breathing ]
We'll be happy
to breathe at all.
Stand back.
[ Machine powers on ]
Hey!
[ All coughing ]
This sucks up
all the smoggy air.
Handy little thing,
isn't it?
[ Laughs ]
[ Machine powers down ]
[ All cough ]
[ Inhales, exhales deeply ]
This hose pipes in
clean air.
Swell, but what's
that one for?
That's to suck up all the money
you owe me.
And today is payday.
[ Hose whirring ]
You Plunderer!
The day will come when someone
closes down this racket.
Yeah? Well,
don't hold your breath.
[ Laughs ]
[ Engine shuts off ]
I'm off to my main
pumping station
in South America.
Adios.
[ Hose whirring ]
[ Whirring stops ]
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
**
We must go there, too,
and find Ma-Ti.
To the Geo-Cruiser,
Planeteers.
I'll be with you...
in spirit.
[ Air rushing ]
I have a feeling
we found the exit hose!
I could get out of here
through that hose,
except I'd have to
be made of rubber
to keep from getting bashed
to pieces.
What if you were
wrapped in rubber?
Yeah, that might just work!
How we gonna do that?
We will make
rubber bands.
Yeah!
You guys are really
on the ball.
**
Suchi, can you
undo my ropes?
[ Monkey chitters ]
Shh! Thanks, Suchi.
Now my ring.
**
Heart!
Kwame: Stay above
the smog, Gi.
Planeteers, I'm trapped at
Plunder's pumping station.
We're coming, Ma-Ti.
[ Insects chirping ]
[ Chuckles ]
Well, uh, it may not
be a classy chassis,
but it's got
great suspension.
Thanks for
looking after me.
The forest spirits
will protect you.
[ Air rushing ]
Here I goooo!
Who-o-o-o-o-a!
Whoa!
[ Grunting ]
Whoa!
Kwame:
Now to shake up Plunder's plans.
Earth!
Hey, kid!
How did you get loose?
[ Rumbling ]
Huh?
**
[ Alarm blaring ]
Ma-Ti!
You're all right!
I knew I could count
on my friends.
Plunder:
We'll see about that.
Bleak,
what these kids need
is some stale air.
Get ready. I'm going to
take your breath away.
[ All cough ]
[ Clanging ]
Wheeler: Whoa!
That sounds like...
Whoa! Whoa!
Ma-Ti: Wheeler!
Yah!
Ugh!
Hi!
I'm a little too dizzy to --
to be much help to you guys.
I know of someone
who can help.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
All: Go, Planet!
Relax, Planeteers.
Taking care of these goons
is gonna be a snap.
Hey, what are
you doing?
Stop it! Stop it!
What are you doing?
Hey, stop it, you!
Sorry, but you've
stretched my patience
just a little too far
this time.
Oh! Oh!
[ Coughing ]
What's the matter, Cap?
You look exhausted.
[ Laughs ]
[ Laughs ]
No! Stop!
[ Monkey chitters ]
**
[ Gears grinding,
monkey chitters ]
Uh-oh!
[ Grunts ]
Now, that's what I call throwing
a monkey wrench into his plans.
[ Chuckles ]
Hey, thanks, Suchi.
[ Monkey chitters ]
Okay, look, I-I'll give back
the forests.
I-I'm getting out
of the air business anyway.
Well, I just want to be sure
that's a binding offer.
See you later,
Planeteers.
Linka:
Bye, Captain Planet!
Kwame:
So long, Captain Planet!
Time to air this place out.
[ Cheering ]
Man, just imagine
the deposit
I'm gonna get for these
at the recycling center.
[ Chuckles ]
Well, looks like Plunder's plan
was "domed" to failure.
Wheeler, that's terrible.
Oh, bad pun.
Wheeler is right, though,
because clean air
belongs to everyone.
Take care, Planeteers,
and remember,
the power is yours!
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Forests and plants are the
air-conditioners of our planet.
They help regulate temperature
and humidity
as well as
keep the air clean.
So plant a tree or start
a garden in your backyard.
Or grow potted plants
in your house.
All it takes is a little work,
sunlight, and...
Water.
The power is yours!
Wheeler: We'll be right back
with more Planeteer action.
Planeteers: We're back!
Go, Planet!
Go, Planet!
Captain Planet:
The Earth needs more trees.
We can plant new ones,
and we can protect the trees
we already have.
For example...
It takes 17 tall trees
to make 1 ton of paper.
Kwame: Put it this way --
When you recycle
1 ton of paper...
You make sure
17 trees remain standing.
So recycle
and help save our forests.
All: The power is yours!
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!
**
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,

[ 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!
Gi: And now back to
"Captain Planet".
[ Birds chirping ]
**
Now!

Let's go!
[ Animals chittering ]
We cut the bark,

We catch the sap, then boil it,
and it turns...

That's fascinating,
Ma-Ti,

Okay, Wheeler.
What do you

[ Inhales deeply ]
Man, the air here

And think how much worse
the planet would be
without the forest

[ Monkey chittering ]
What is it, Suchi?
Uh-oh! Smoke!
This place is starting to
look like New York.
We better
check this out!
[ Monkey chitters ]
Stop!
What do you mean stop?
We are clearing this land
to farm it.
But you'll end up
killing it!
You listen, rich boy.
We have more right to
this forest than you.
Nobody has the right

So? Who cares?
Then we just move on.
Fire!
Uh, on second thought,
maybe we should move on now.
But we're coming back!
And if they do not,
others will.
Well, it's a good thing
the Indians have us
to protect them.
Wheeler, the Indians are not
as helpless as you think.
But can anyone
stop people
from trying to develop
this forest?
Hey, look. The Geo-Cruiser.
They're heading for the village.
Ma-Ti, you will not
believe what has happened.
Because I believe so strongly
in preserving

You are welcome to stay,
Wheeler.
And we will look
after you, too.
[ Monkey chitters ]
Suchi, it is all right.
The headdress is for
our new friend Baron Giftus.
If we're going to drop you
at the ceremony,
we've got to hurry!
Go with the spirits
of the forest.
There's the capital,
dead ahead.
The heat and smog get worse
every month.
Bozhe moi!
It would be easier to see
through a bowl of borscht.
I worry about this city.
Worry about us.
Smog is clogging
the air-intake filters.
The Geo-Cruiser's
overheating!
We are losing altitude.
Linka: Look out!
[ All scream ]
Whoa!
[ All scream,

Good flying, Gi.
We made it!
There is
the presidential palace.

That filter must really

It is so smoggy,

Baron Giftus is not saving

The smog in the city
could not be worse.
The scary thing is,

Okay, try it now, Kwame.
[ Engine starts ]
All right,
it is time to go.
Kwame: Good luck
with your speech, Ma-Ti.
[ Indistinct talking ]
[ Tires squeal ]
[ Camera shutter clicks ]
It is with the headdress
of my people
that I present you
our gratitude.
No, it's with the gratitude.
The people's gratitude!
Ha ha ha!
[ Gasps ]
Argos Bleak!
[ Monkey chitters ]
Shh!
Baron Giftus!
I must warn you about that man
Argos Bleak.
I know him.
And he is evil.
Don't worry, Ma-Ti.
I won't let him
cause any harm.
[ Gasps ]
How could he
know my name?
We have never met.
Or have we?
Heart!
[ Gasps ]
He is no friend of the forests.
He is...
[ Monkey chitters ]
Aah! Oh!
...Looten Plunder!
You little ape!
I must warn everyone before they
give him control of our forests.
Bleak!
Get that planet twerp.
Right, Mr. P.
Hans! Wiley!
Coming, Mr. Bleak.
[ Monkey chitters ]
Grab him!
Aah!
Ooh!
Idiots!
That pint-sized King Kong
is making monkeys
out of you!
Don't worry.
We'll nab him, boss.
Get up there,
boys!
Uh-oh!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Bleak, what circus
did your two clowns come from?
Ugh!
Got you!
I'll take that.
Get them out of here.
Put me down!
[ Monkey chittering ]
Shut up, both of you!
No one's gonna hear you
way out here.
At least the air is clean
in this pumping station.
I must try to call
the others.
Heart!
Oh, no, you don't.
Give me my ring back!
Nothing's gonna stop
Mr. Plunder's plan.
So forget about your friends
coming after you.
Suchi,
Wheeler was right
about putting my faith
in Giftus.
I am such a fool.
[ Sniffles ]
[ Chitters ]

Plunder has already begun
to cover every forest on Earth

Giant hoses.
Plunder will use one to pump
smoggy air out of the city
and the other to return air
purified by the forests.
Look at that!
There's one of the domes
being carried
to the Amazon rain forest.
Where Wheeler is!
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
Hey! Stop!
What's going on?!
Plunder?
What's he doing here?
No!
[ Breathing heavily ]
Ow!
[ Groans ]
**
Somebody! Help!
No! Stop!
Ma-Ti: Do not lose heart.
The Planeteers will return.
Linka: And now,
back to "Captain Planet".
**
Fire!
All right!

Wow!
What is that thing?

Not even warm.

But if there's a hose
coming in,
there must be one

For now,
Wheeler is probably okay.
If you call being stuck under
a giant salad bowl okay.
But where is Ma-Ti? We need him
to call Captain Planet.
And in a hurry,
because without forests,
Earth will suffer much worse
heat and smog.
Look at Athens.
Bleak: Mr. Mayor,
let's be blunt.
The smog in your air is eating
away at your ancient monuments.
People are sweltering
in your worst heat wave ever,
but Plunder Air has the answer
to your problems.
[ Coughs ]
You at Plunder Air made
our problem twice as bad.
Let's not talk
about the past.
In this bottle,
my friend, is pure air
straight from
the nearest forest --
cool, clean,
and available...
[ Sniffs ]
...at a price.
This is blackmail!
Hey, pal, this is business,
here.
If you ever want to see
the Acropolis again,
all the ocean for that matter,
you's better cut a deal,
like Los Angeles
is doing.
**
Plunder: Your city council
can breathe easy.
You're hooked up
to Plunder Air.
[ Labored breathing ]
We'll be happy
to breathe at all.
Stand back.
[ Machine powers on ]
Hey!
[ All coughing ]
This sucks up
all the smoggy air.
Handy little thing,
isn't it?
[ Laughs ]
[ Machine powers down ]
[ All cough ]
[ Inhales, exhales deeply ]
This hose pipes in
clean air.
Swell, but what's
that one for?
That's to suck up all the money
you owe me.
And today is payday.
[ Hose whirring ]
You Plunderer!
The day will come when someone
closes down this racket.
Yeah? Well,
don't hold your breath.
[ Laughs ]
[ Engine shuts off ]
I'm off to my main
pumping station
in South America.
Adios.
[ Hose whirring ]
[ Whirring stops ]
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
**
We must go there, too,
and find Ma-Ti.
To the Geo-Cruiser,
Planeteers.
I'll be with you...
in spirit.
[ Air rushing ]
I have a feeling
we found the exit hose!
I could get out of here
through that hose,
except I'd have to
be made of rubber
to keep from getting bashed
to pieces.
What if you were
wrapped in rubber?
Yeah, that might just work!
How we gonna do that?
We will make
rubber bands.
Yeah!
You guys are really
on the ball.
**
Suchi, can you
undo my ropes?
[ Monkey chitters ]
Shh! Thanks, Suchi.
Now my ring.
**
Heart!
Kwame: Stay above
the smog, Gi.
Planeteers, I'm trapped at
Plunder's pumping station.
We're coming, Ma-Ti.
[ Insects chirping ]
[ Chuckles ]
Well, uh, it may not
be a classy chassis,
but it's got
great suspension.
Thanks for
looking after me.
The forest spirits
will protect you.
[ Air rushing ]
Here I goooo!
Who-o-o-o-o-a!
Whoa!
[ Grunting ]
Whoa!
Kwame:
Now to shake up Plunder's plans.
Earth!
Hey, kid!
How did you get loose?
[ Rumbling ]
Huh?
**
[ Alarm blaring ]
Ma-Ti!
You're all right!
I knew I could count
on my friends.
Plunder:
We'll see about that.
Bleak,
what these kids need
is some stale air.
Get ready. I'm going to
take your breath away.
[ All cough ]
[ Clanging ]
Wheeler: Whoa!
That sounds like...
Whoa! Whoa!
Ma-Ti: Wheeler!
Yah!
Ugh!
Hi!
I'm a little too dizzy to --
to be much help to you guys.
I know of someone
who can help.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
All: Go, Planet!
Relax, Planeteers.
Taking care of these goons
is gonna be a snap.
Hey, what are
you doing?
Stop it! Stop it!
What are you doing?
Hey, stop it, you!
Sorry, but you've
stretched my patience
just a little too far
this time.
Oh! Oh!
[ Coughing ]
What's the matter, Cap?
You look exhausted.
[ Laughs ]
[ Laughs ]
No! Stop!
[ Monkey chitters ]
**
[ Gears grinding,
monkey chitters ]
Uh-oh!
[ Grunts ]
Now, that's what I call throwing
a monkey wrench into his plans.
[ Chuckles ]
Hey, thanks, Suchi.
[ Monkey chitters ]
Okay, look, I-I'll give back
the forests.
I-I'm getting out
of the air business anyway.
Well, I just want to be sure
that's a binding offer.
See you later,
Planeteers.
Linka:
Bye, Captain Planet!
Kwame:
So long, Captain Planet!
Time to air this place out.
[ Cheering ]
Man, just imagine
the deposit
I'm gonna get for these
at the recycling center.
[ Chuckles ]
Well, looks like Plunder's plan
was "domed" to failure.
Wheeler, that's terrible.
Oh, bad pun.
Wheeler is right, though,
because clean air
belongs to everyone.
Take care, Planeteers,
and remember,
the power is yours!
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Forests and plants are the
air-conditioners of our planet.
They help regulate temperature
and humidity
as well as
keep the air clean.
So plant a tree or start
a garden in your backyard.
Or grow potted plants
in your house.
All it takes is a little work,
sunlight, and...
Water.
The power is yours!
Wheeler: We'll be right back
with more Planeteer action.
Planeteers: We're back!
Go, Planet!
Go, Planet!
Captain Planet:
The Earth needs more trees.
We can plant new ones,
and we can protect the trees
we already have.
For example...
It takes 17 tall trees
to make 1 ton of paper.
Kwame: Put it this way --
When you recycle
1 ton of paper...
You make sure
17 trees remain standing.
So recycle
and help save our forests.
All: The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
