Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 3, Episode 4 - A Perfect World - full transcript
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 Eastern Europe --
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 ]
**
Oh, look at that!
How adorable!
Oh, yeah.
Adorable.
She means the fawn,
Wheeler.
And speaking of animals,
keep your paws to yourself.
Shh!
[ Water rushing ]
Oo-Zhuss! Horrors!
How terrible!
Oh, no!
The lake will be destroyed!
No if I can help it!
Water!
Hey, chill, Gi.
Look!
[ Mechanical whirring ]
Gi: Looks like
some testing device.
Whatever it is, it seems
to know what it is doing.
Wow, now, that's what I call
bubbling your troubles away.
Dr. Derek: As you can see,
this simulation
caused no permanent pollution
to the lake nor to the flora
and fauna around it.
[ Birds chirping ]
I was merely demonstrating
the ability of my technology
to clean up pollution.
[ All cheer ]
Very impressive.
We could use that
in my country.
And I apologize
to the Planeteers
if I alarmed them
unduly.
Apology accepted.
But maybe next time, you could
let us know what's up, doc.
As you can see, the money
you've invested in my research
has gone to good use.
Eden II is a perfect world --
a completely
self-contained system
centrally controlled
by a computer
with intricate
pollution-control sensors
and virtually infallible
cleanup technology.
[ Coughing ]
Except for
these diesel fumes.
Now, here we have
the area control panel.
It monitors
the pollution sensors,
displays current
environmental conditions,
and gives a readout of
the master computer's status.
The computer display indicates
everything is running smoothly.
This is cool!
But what if something goes wrong
with this panel?
Well, Gi, that's what
these cameras are for.
They provide visual contact
with every area inside Eden II.
[ Alarm blares ]
Blight: Ha! MAL, baby,
you did it!
Well, of course, Dr. Blight.
What did you expect?
Oh, don't get your circuits
in a bundle, MAL.
I'm congratulating you,
you chip-head.
Thank you.
By breaking Dr. Derek's
security code,
we have full control
of her "perfect" world.
It won't be so perfect
when I get through with it.
[ Birds chirping ]
I have perfected
technological solutions
for every environmental
and pollution problem
known to the world.
Gi: How do you handle the waste
that is created, Dr. Derek?
Good question, Gi,
and there is the answer --
the ultimate incinerator.
It burns garbage
at superhigh temperatures,
resulting in almost complete
combustion.
Then pollutants are separated,
and clean air is pumped out.
Bozhe moi!
All computer-controlled!
But why not just create
less garbage in the first place?
Everybody's a critic.
Maybe it is just because
I do not understand them,
but I am nervous when everything
depends on a computer.
Oh, there is nothing to fear,
Ma-Ti.
Computers are very reliable.
But we all know that
just cleaning up pollution
is not the best answer.
Dr. Derek,
wouldn't it be simpler
to look for ways
to decrease pollution?
Well, technology got the world
into this polluted state,
and I say technology
can clean it up.
[ Keyboard clacking ]
Oh, MAL-ikins!
I think this is my most
brilliant experiment yet!
Your modesty overwhelms me,
Dr. Blight.
What's up your sleeve
this time?
Oh, just my latest
foray-into-chaos theory.
The ultimate test
for that perfect world.
[ Laughs ]
Oh!
Dr. Blight,
your cerebral capacity for evil
is nothing short
of amazing.
That is, for a
[coughs] human being.
Here is our largest dome,
the breadbasket of Eden II.
All of the equipment
is run by computer
to maximize our farming output.
Kwame:
What about alternate energy
sources for the farm equipment?
Kwame's right. Isn't that
diesel smoke a menace?
No problem.
The smoke is sucked
into that filter,
which then purifies the air
before recycling it.
Dr. Derek, may I take a look
at the computer systems
on your farm machines?
All right, Linka.
But please hurry.
Wheeler: And you say
you're not romantic?
You do not have to go,
Wheeler.
What? And miss an opportunity
to check out farm equipment?
[ Computer beeping ]
**
[ Electricity crackles ]
[ Gasps ]
[ Crackling continues ]
[ Beeping continues ]
Uh-oh. Looks like
trouble in paradise.
[ Keyboard clacking ]
I don't understand. This should
override the computer
and restore control.
Wheeler, Linka, hurry!
I've got to get to
the central computer!
Come on! Let's do it!
Up you go, Linka!
Take my hand,
Wheeler!
[ Both grunt ]
Wheeler: Phew!
For a minute there, I thought
this dog-and-pony show
was gonna leave us behind.
Hey, we stopped!
Wheeler, look,
the doors are closing!
Wheeler: Let's boogie!
Wheeler, Linka, hurry!
Hey, doc, open up!
Bozhe moi!
Wheeler, look!
We must get out of here,
fast!
Blight: Two down,
three to go.
Bingo!
Looks like Dr. Derek and the
rest of the kiddie crusaders
are headed for
the computer center.
MAL, muffin, I think it's time
to put a bug in the works --
a computer bug, that is.
A computer virus!
That poor central computer
won't know what hit it!
[ Laughs ]
Oh, no!
Now we are trapped!
Don't worry, Kwame.
All I have to do
is override the master computer.
Look!
There's Wheeler and Linka!
They will suffocate
in there!
[ Coughing ]
Hang on, Linka.
I'll get us out.
Fire!
[ Coughs ]
There is too much pollution
for our rings to work.
We must stop
the machines!
I don't understand.
The computer isn't responding.
[ Laughs evilly ]
MAL!
Right you are,
planet-pests!
As for you, Dr. Derek,
you're wasting your time.
I'm in control
of Eden II now!
Blight: MAL, dear.
We!
Um, we're in control.
Allow me to introduce
myself, Dr. Derek.
I'm Dr. Blight.
So nice to meet another
woman scientist.
Too bad you won't
be around much longer, honey!
Why are you
doing this to me?
Blight: Well, sister,
don't take it personally.
It's just
my latest experiment.
You see, nothing is perfect,
Dr. Derek,
except possibly me.
[ Chuckles ]
I'm perfectly evil.
Is there nothing
you can do, Dr. Derek?
[ Keyboard clacking ]
Nothing is responding.
Well, planet brats,
get ready for
your farewell performance!
I think I'll call it
defeat of the eco-geeks,
an amusing little tale
in which we inject a virus
into your main computer.
Are you ready, MAL, sweetie?
Just say when,
doctor.
Now!
Uh-uh-uh. I you to
say "when," doctor.
Just do it, MAL.
Or I'll reduce your hard drive
to soft-serve!
Touchy, touchy.
Very well. Here we go.
[ Electricity crackles ]
Wheeler: Whoa!
Aah!
Oh!
Ugh!
[ Coughs ]
[ Coughs ]
Wheeler,
are you okay?
Get out of the way!
Watch closely, planet-pests!
This is one performance
you won't forget
as long as you live!
[ Laughs ]
Ahh!
Linka: And now,
back to "Captain Planet".
[ Both coughing ]
Wheeler,
it's coming!
Ugh!
Aah!
Ooh!
[ Coughs ]
Great!
Now what do we do?
[ Both cough ]
Maybe we can use this
to pry open the door.
Come on, Wheeler!
Well, I think I've got
just what the doctor ordered.
This doctor, that is!
The virus has now entered
the master computer, doctor.
In a short time,
my dear Dr. Derek,
your perfect world
will be a perfect disaster!
Maybe so, doctor, but I've been
fighting all my life,
and I'm not about to
give up now!
[ Grunts ]
We lost the picture!
Fix it, MAL!
I have to see
what's going on!
Sorry, Dr. Blight. I can't.
The problem is mechanical,
not electronic.
But don't worry.
I'm still have control
of her computer.
Well, where's
the dumb virus now?
It's spreading throughout
the operating program.
Why did you disconnect
the camera, Dr. Derek?
So we can fight
the computer virus.
It'll be dangerous enough
without Dr. Blight looking
over our shoulders.
Dangerous?
What do you mean?
Okay, listen.
Because of my disability,
I've been doing
experimental research
on digitizing
human electrical fields.
How will that help?
We can fight the virus
from inside the computer.
Now, theoretically,
it's possible.
But I've never actually done it
before.
How can a person
get inside a computer?
Not the entire person, Ma-Ti,
just their electrical essence.
Now we're into
the master computer.
Oh, no! That virus
is spreading fast!
[ Computer beeping ]
After I strap myself
into this helmet,
press "enter"
on the laptop computer.
Wait a second.
Once you're in there,
how do we get you out?
I don't know. But that's a risk
I'll have to take.
If we go in,
could you get us out?
Probably,
but I'm not --
I volunteer!
So do I.
We have to
save Linka and Wheeler.
We're running out of time,
but I'm not sure if --
We trust you,
Dr. Derek.
All right.
Lie down.
Will this hurt them?
They won't
feel a thing.
Ready, you two?
Ready.
[ Computer beeps ]
[ Zapping ]
Gi: Did it work?
Yes!
Can you see us?
[ Thunder rumbling ]
Are you all right?
I think so.
What do you want us to do first?
You better test
your ring powers.
Heart!
A computer has no heart.
Dr. Derek: Ma-Ti,
concentrate harder,
and this time,
focus all your powers.
Heart!
Earth!
Our powers are much
different in here.
Ma-Ti, it appears you can create
electronic fields
and Kwame can ground them out.
What does that mean?
Gi: Ma-Ti can create things.
And you can dissolve them.
Dr. Derek:
Now, concentrate, Ma-Ti.
Use your power
to create a boat.
Visualize a boat.
I will try.
Heart!
A good boat,
but there is no water.
I'm opening up
an electrical pathway.
It will look like a river
to you.
Do you see it?
No. There is nothing.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
[ Static ]
What's going on, MAL?
I-I don't believe it.
Two of those bite-sized punks
are inside Eden II's computer!
Then go after them!
Do you hear me, MAL?
Get inside that computer and
reformat those little creeps!
But it's infected
in there!
So?
Well, I'm not immune
to that virus, you know.
Let's cut to the basic, MAL.
Get with the program,
or I'll reboot you!
[ Both coughing ]
We're not going to
make it, are we?
[ Coughs ]
Sure we are.
It's just taking a little longer
than I thought.
[ Electricity crackling ]
Something is
blocking our way!
That should be the switch that
controls the automatic doors.
Gi:
Hurry, Kwame! Linka and Wheeler
don't have much time!
Use your ring, Kwame!
Earth!
[ Crackling continues ]
Whoa!
Whoa!
Ow! It shocked me!
Dr. Derek:
You have to try again, Kwame!
There is something
I am wanting you to know.
[ Coughs ] Uh-huh?
[ Coughs ]
Sometimes I act like...
[ Coughs ]
...I do not care for you,
but...
[ Coughs ]
Linka!
You must try again,
Kwame!
Earth!
[ Electricity crackling ]
Earth!
[ Computer beeping ]
Got it!
[ Both cough ]
Hold on, Linka!
[ Both cough ]
We're out of here!
[ Gasps ]
We must find
the others!
Wait a minute.
What was it you were saying
in there?
Something about
liking me, right?
Uh, not now, Wheeler.
Let's go!
She likes me.
Good work, guys. You just saved
Wheeler and Linka!
Now the rough part --
You've got to get to
the central programming unit...
and destroy the virus!
Aah!
What is happening?
MAL: [ Laughs ]
Well, well, planet pixels,
you're on my ground now,
and I feel like playing!
[ Laughs evilly ]
**
Earth!
**
Kwame, more fighters!
Earth!
I cannot keep this up
much longer, Ma-Ti!
Come on, guys!
What's wrong
with them?
They're inside the computer
fighting Blight's virus.
But how --
Dr. Derek:
No time to explain.
We've got to help them.
Man, too bad we can't
call Captain Planet.
Why can't we?
I mean, it's worth a try.
Kwame, Ma-Ti,
to to call Captain Planet!
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
Captain Planet:
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
[ All cheer ]
Both: Go, Planet!
Captain Planet:
MAL, you two-bit villain,
you've really hacked me off
this time!
**
MAL: You'll never
delete me, Planet!
[ As Schwarzenegger ]
I'll be back!
You all right?
Yes,
now that you are here.
Look out behind you!
Captain Planet, your file
is about to be erased...
permanently!
There is
no way out!
[ Laughs ]
That's right!
You're about to
be trashed.
Aah!
What's the matter,
Planet?
Can't you take
a little jolt?
Captain Planet cannot
hold out much longer!
Whoa!
The virus!
Aah!
I'm falling to bits!
Hit "escape"!
Hit "escape"!
Aah!
Aah!
Uh-oh. Time to
refile that virus.
Oh! Help!
Help!
Reprogramming.
Debugging program commencing!
**
[ Grunts ]
Aah!
Running reformat sequence.
Path command --
you're out of here!
[ Both grunting ]
I cannot hold on
much longer!
Me, either!
Aah!
Whoa!
[ Both screaming ]
**
[ Both grunt ]
Don't go to pieces, guys.
The danger's over.
And remember,
the power is yours!
I had trouble
reassembling Kwame and Ma-Ti
because of the damage
their digitized images took
from the computer virus.
But I think I have it.
Cross your fingers.
Kwame? Ma-Ti?
[ Ma-Ti'S voice ]
We are back!
It is so good to see you,
my friends!
[ All gasp ]
Whoa! Trouble, dudes.
[ Kwame's voice ] Hey!
What am I doing over there?
And what am I doing
over there?
[ Chuckles ]
Oh, no problem.
I just have to
reverse polarity.
Now that we're safe,
tell me the truth, Linka.
You like me, right?
Wheeler,
what do you think?
I am bitten
by the love virus.
[ Chuckles ] I think you mean
love bug.
[ Chuckles ] Whatever.
I do not have it.
Ah, well, abort,
fail, and retry.
I wonder what happened
to MAL.
Ah...ah...ah...ah...
choo!
[ Sniffling, coughing ]
Oh, MAL, why did you have to
catch that computer virus?
Ah...choo!
[ Electricity crackling ]
Ah...ah...ah...
ah...ah...ah...
I've got a good mind
to --
...choo!
[ Electricity crackles ]
Oh!
S-sorry, doctor.
Ah...ah...ah...choo!
Ohh!
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
There's nothing wrong
with using technology
to clean up pollution.
But the real key
to saving our world
is to not pollute
in the first place.
You can help.
Find ways to save energy,
like riding your bicycle
to school.
If you're going somewhere
in the car,
plan several errands
for one car trip
so you don't waste gasoline
and add to pollution.
Little things add up,
Planeteers.
So every little bit you do
to help the environment
makes the whole world
a better place.
Remember,
the power is yours!
Wheeler: We'll be right back
with more Planeteer action.
Planeteers: We're back!
Go, Planet!
Go, Planet!
You can recycle
just about everything.
Wheeler: Like plastic.
It's practically indestructible
and stays around forever.
But scientists do have ways to
recycle many kinds of plastic.
Still, recycling
starts with you.
Technology
can do many things,
but it cannot make
our garbage problem disappear.
Only you can make less trash.
And remember the three Rs --
reduce, reuse, and recycle.
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!

Maybe so, doctor, but I've been
fighting all my life,
and I'm not about to
give up now!
[ Grunts ]
We lost the picture!
Fix it, MAL!
I have to see
what's going on!
Sorry, Dr. Blight. I can't.
The problem is mechanical,
not electronic.
But don't worry.
I'm still have control
of her computer.
Well, where's
the dumb virus now?
It's spreading throughout
the operating program.
Why did you disconnect
the camera, Dr. Derek?
So we can fight
the computer virus.
It'll be dangerous enough
without Dr. Blight looking
over our shoulders.
Dangerous?
What do you mean?
Okay, listen.
Because of my disability,
I've been doing
experimental research
on digitizing
human electrical fields.
How will that help?
We can fight the virus
from inside the computer.
Now, theoretically,
it's possible.
But I've never actually done it
before.
How can a person
get inside a computer?
Not the entire person, Ma-Ti,
just their electrical essence.
Now we're into
the master computer.
Oh, no! That virus
is spreading fast!
[ Computer beeping ]
After I strap myself
into this helmet,
press "enter"
on the laptop computer.
Wait a second.
Once you're in there,
how do we get you out?
I don't know. But that's a risk
I'll have to take.
If we go in,
could you get us out?
Probably,
but I'm not --
I volunteer!
So do I.
We have to
save Linka and Wheeler.
We're running out of time,
but I'm not sure if --
We trust you,
Dr. Derek.
All right.
Lie down.
Will this hurt them?
They won't
feel a thing.
Ready, you two?
Ready.
[ Computer beeps ]
[ Zapping ]
Gi: Did it work?
Yes!
Can you see us?
[ Thunder rumbling ]
Are you all right?
I think so.
What do you want us to do first?
You better test
your ring powers.
Heart!
A computer has no heart.
Dr. Derek: Ma-Ti,
concentrate harder,
and this time,
focus all your powers.
Heart!
Earth!
Our powers are much
different in here.
Ma-Ti, it appears you can create
electronic fields
and Kwame can ground them out.
What does that mean?
Gi: Ma-Ti can create things.
And you can dissolve them.
Dr. Derek:
Now, concentrate, Ma-Ti.
Use your power
to create a boat.
Visualize a boat.
I will try.
Heart!
A good boat,
but there is no water.
I'm opening up
an electrical pathway.
It will look like a river
to you.
Do you see it?
No. There is nothing.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
[ Static ]
What's going on, MAL?
I-I don't believe it.
Two of those bite-sized punks
are inside Eden II's computer!
Then go after them!
Do you hear me, MAL?
Get inside that computer and
reformat those little creeps!
But it's infected
in there!
So?
Well, I'm not immune
to that virus, you know.
Let's cut to the basic, MAL.
Get with the program,
or I'll reboot you!
[ Both coughing ]
We're not going to
make it, are we?
[ Coughs ]
Sure we are.
It's just taking a little longer
than I thought.
[ Electricity crackling ]
Something is
blocking our way!
That should be the switch that
controls the automatic doors.
Gi:
Hurry, Kwame! Linka and Wheeler
don't have much time!
Use your ring, Kwame!
Earth!
[ Crackling continues ]
Whoa!
Whoa!
Ow! It shocked me!
Dr. Derek:
You have to try again, Kwame!
There is something
I am wanting you to know.
[ Coughs ] Uh-huh?
[ Coughs ]
Sometimes I act like...
[ Coughs ]
...I do not care for you,
but...
[ Coughs ]
Linka!
You must try again,
Kwame!
Earth!
[ Electricity crackling ]
Earth!
[ Computer beeping ]
Got it!
[ Both cough ]
Hold on, Linka!
[ Both cough ]
We're out of here!
[ Gasps ]
We must find
the others!
Wait a minute.
What was it you were saying
in there?
Something about
liking me, right?
Uh, not now, Wheeler.
Let's go!
She likes me.
Good work, guys. You just saved
Wheeler and Linka!
Now the rough part --
You've got to get to
the central programming unit...
and destroy the virus!
Aah!
What is happening?
MAL: [ Laughs ]
Well, well, planet pixels,
you're on my ground now,
and I feel like playing!
[ Laughs evilly ]
**
Earth!
**
Kwame, more fighters!
Earth!
I cannot keep this up
much longer, Ma-Ti!
Come on, guys!
What's wrong
with them?
They're inside the computer
fighting Blight's virus.
But how --
Dr. Derek:
No time to explain.
We've got to help them.
Man, too bad we can't
call Captain Planet.
Why can't we?
I mean, it's worth a try.
Kwame, Ma-Ti,
to to call Captain Planet!
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
Captain Planet:
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
[ All cheer ]
Both: Go, Planet!
Captain Planet:
MAL, you two-bit villain,
you've really hacked me off
this time!
**
MAL: You'll never
delete me, Planet!
[ As Schwarzenegger ]
I'll be back!
You all right?
Yes,
now that you are here.
Look out behind you!
Captain Planet, your file
is about to be erased...
permanently!
There is
no way out!
[ Laughs ]
That's right!
You're about to
be trashed.
Aah!
What's the matter,
Planet?
Can't you take
a little jolt?
Captain Planet cannot
hold out much longer!
Whoa!
The virus!
Aah!
I'm falling to bits!
Hit "escape"!
Hit "escape"!
Aah!
Aah!
Uh-oh. Time to
refile that virus.
Oh! Help!
Help!
Reprogramming.
Debugging program commencing!
**
[ Grunts ]
Aah!
Running reformat sequence.
Path command --
you're out of here!
[ Both grunting ]
I cannot hold on
much longer!
Me, either!
Aah!
Whoa!
[ Both screaming ]
**
[ Both grunt ]
Don't go to pieces, guys.
The danger's over.
And remember,
the power is yours!
I had trouble
reassembling Kwame and Ma-Ti
because of the damage
their digitized images took
from the computer virus.
But I think I have it.
Cross your fingers.
Kwame? Ma-Ti?
[ Ma-Ti'S voice ]
We are back!
It is so good to see you,
my friends!
[ All gasp ]
Whoa! Trouble, dudes.
[ Kwame's voice ] Hey!
What am I doing over there?
And what am I doing
over there?
[ Chuckles ]
Oh, no problem.
I just have to
reverse polarity.
Now that we're safe,
tell me the truth, Linka.
You like me, right?
Wheeler,
what do you think?
I am bitten
by the love virus.
[ Chuckles ] I think you mean
love bug.
[ Chuckles ] Whatever.
I do not have it.
Ah, well, abort,
fail, and retry.
I wonder what happened
to MAL.
Ah...ah...ah...ah...
choo!
[ Sniffling, coughing ]
Oh, MAL, why did you have to
catch that computer virus?
Ah...choo!
[ Electricity crackling ]
Ah...ah...ah...
ah...ah...ah...
I've got a good mind
to --
...choo!
[ Electricity crackles ]
Oh!
S-sorry, doctor.
Ah...ah...ah...choo!
Ohh!
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
There's nothing wrong
with using technology
to clean up pollution.
But the real key
to saving our world
is to not pollute
in the first place.
You can help.
Find ways to save energy,
like riding your bicycle
to school.
If you're going somewhere
in the car,
plan several errands
for one car trip
so you don't waste gasoline
and add to pollution.
Little things add up,
Planeteers.
So every little bit you do
to help the environment
makes the whole world
a better place.
Remember,
the power is yours!
Wheeler: We'll be right back
with more Planeteer action.
Planeteers: We're back!
Go, Planet!
Go, Planet!
You can recycle
just about everything.
Wheeler: Like plastic.
It's practically indestructible
and stays around forever.
But scientists do have ways to
recycle many kinds of plastic.
Still, recycling
starts with you.
Technology
can do many things,
but it cannot make
our garbage problem disappear.
Only you can make less trash.
And remember the three Rs --
reduce, reuse, and recycle.
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!
