Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 3, Episode 7 - The Guinea Pigs - 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...
[ Elephants trumpet ]
Ahh.
[ All chattering ]
[ Dogs barking ]
[ Crash ]
[ Growls ]
What did you say,
Chester?
[ Growls ]
Okay. Okay.
I'll go take a look.
[ Barking ]
What the --
Who's there?
Let's get out of here!
Wait! You can't take
those rabbits!
Oh, my research!
Wait! Chester!
Chester, come back here!
If you want him
back alive,
you'd better forget
about calling the cops, Doc.
[ Whimpering ]
Ah. She makes it
look so easy.
That is her job.
Some job, huh?
Now gently push at it
with your finger,
and be careful
not to smudge it.
Remember, the whole idea
is to look natural.
The best makeup
is the kind nobody notices.
Hey, are you two done yet?
I want to see
the finished product.
Hmm. I thought
you were trying out
that eye stuff.
He does not see
our eye shadow.
Then we're doing it
right!
Mnh-mnh. Are you really
wearing makeup?
Wheeler, the whole idea
is no to see it.
We're wearing makeup,
and so is she.
Lori Saunders!
What a fox!
And be sure to watch
for my new line
of glow-in-the-dark cosmetics,
coming soon
to a makeup counter near you.
Mwah!
Well, I'd like to
make up with her --
as in "kiss and make up."
Too bad these things
do not work on men.
Planeteers,
come to the crystal chamber.
We have an eco-emergency.
Take a look.
Ma-Ti: What is going on?
What are they doing
to those poor animals?
Stealing them, Ma-Ti,
but what I can't figure out
is why.
They steal dogs
for dogfights.
And wild animals
for illegal hunts.
These thieves are also taking
monkeys, rabbits, and cats.
Maybe they're stealing them
for illegal research!
Well, they took
that man's animals.
Maybe we can get
some answers from him.
Good luck, Planeteers,
and be careful.
You stay here this time,
little friend.
It will be safer for you.
[ Chattering ]
Let's try
the front door.
[ Chatters ]
Ah! Oh, Suchi!
You scared me!
What are you doing here?
Who are you?
What do you want?
And so we decided to come here
and try to find out
who is stealing the animals.
And why.
Well, I appreciate
any help I can get.
Come on inside, please.
Uh, maybe your friend
should wait out here.
I wouldn't want him
to catch anything
from my test animals.
Suchi,
Dr. Rice is right.
This time, you stay
where you are supposed to.
[ Chattering ]
[ Whimpering ]
My rabbits were right here.
Oh, my cancer research
depends on them.
Who would want
to steal them?
An animal-rights group,
perhaps?
I doubt it.
They know
I only do animal testing
when it's
absolutely necessary,
and even then, using only
the most humane methods.
You know, I feel sorry
for these innocent creatures.
Why must they suffer?
I agree, Ma-Ti.
It's not animals' fault
that people use tobacco
and eat things
that cause cancer.
But, Gi, not all cancers
are caused by smoking
or careless diet.
Yeah. I don't like animals
suffering, either, Gi,
but we need to find a cure
for these diseases.
Actually, you're all correct.
Let me show you something.
Now, this is called
"computer modeling."
I use it to simulate the effects
of experimental drugs
on cancer cells.
If the chemical substance
shows promise,
I go to the next step.
What is this, Dr. Rice?
That's for
in vitro testing,
which means we use living cells
for testing purposes.
There's a tissue culture
inside this Petri dish.
If I add
chemical substances,
I can observe
how the cells react.
Does this do the same thing
as using animals?
No, not quite.
I must see
how living organisms react,
but by using computer modeling
and in vitro testing,
I can save
thousands of animal lives.
It's inexcusable for researchers
to use animals
for unnecessary testing,
especially when humane
alternatives are available.
I see what you mean,
Dr. Rice.
If I don't get my animals back,
all that research
will be ruined.
Then we must find out
who took your rabbits.
Dr. Rice, how will we know
they are your rabbits
if we find them?
Good question, Linka.
They have
special markings.
Come on. I'll show you.
[ Aircraft approaches ]
[ Screeching ]
[ Grunting ]
[ Screeching ]
Ugh! Monkeys!
[ Shrieks ]
Keep quiet, you little bozo,
or you'll get a dose
of shock therapy.
[ Whimpers ]
That's better.
Put this one
in the cargo bay.
Now let's get the cages
we missed last time.
What if that doc's
still around?
That's his problem.
That's Chester.
They took him, too.
Said if I called
the police,
I'd never get him back.
He used to be
a canine blood donor.
When he got too old
to give blood, I adopted him.
Do not worry, Dr. Rice.
We will get him back, too.
Those thieves cannot --
[ Monkeys screeching ]
Hey, what's the racket?
Suchi!
[ Screeching continues ]
Hurry up, you guys.
These ugly fur balls are making
enough noise to wake the dead.
Wheeler:
Hold it right there!
Where is Suchi?
Wait!
All right.
Put up your hands.
You got to be kidding.
Think so? Fire!
[ Screeching ]
Everybody out!
Move it!
I said stop! Fire!
No! You'll hit
the monkeys!
They're getting away!
Heart!
No! They have Suchi!
Wheeler:
Don't worry, Ma-Ti.
Kwame: Look!
What is that?
Gi: Footprints?
Then this fire shot out
of his finger,
so we got out of there
fast.
Fire out of his finger?!
Idiots!
It must have been
the Plagueteers!
If you led them
back here --
No way.
We got away clean.
Post some guards!
I don't want any
interruptions!
And all of you, shut up!
[ Screeching stops ]
[ Screeching ]
Well, if it isn't little --
What's his name?
Screechie? Scratchy?
Smelly?
[ Chattering angrily ]
Whatever. Don't worry.
We'll show you
a good time, Sonny.
MAL, honey,
are you ready?
Of course,
Dr. Blight.
Good. Take little Scuzzy here
and give him the works.
My pleasure.
Ah, robotics --
the future of vivisection.
No more lazy human lab techs
fouling up experiments
or feeling sorry
for the animals.
[ Screeching ]
Looking good,
MAL, baby.
All systems are go, Doctor.
[ Screeching ]
Well done, MAL.
Everything is perfect.
Would you expect
anything less, Dr. Blight?
[ Screeching ]
Linka: And now...
[ Screeching ]
Suchi's in trouble.
We must do something!
I found a flashlight.
Linka: Pink powder.
[ Sniffs ]
It's Le Scent!
Really?
[ Sniffs ]
You're right!
Le Scent!
Does anyone know
what are they talking about?
Just the hottest perfume
around, that's all.
Invented by Miss Model
Glow-in-the-Dark.
Lori Saunders?
Could she be
behind the thefts?
Please! We must find her
before Suchi...
I will track down
those thieves!
Hold up, bud.
We need a plan.
Hey, Doc, do cosmetics companies
use animals for testing?
[ Sniffs ]
The responsible ones don't.
But there are plenty
who still do.
That could be why they
stole all those animals.
Enough talk, Wheeler!
We must find Suchi!
And Chester.
All right. Let us go.
Ma-Ti and I will take
the Geo-Cruiser
and see if we can track
Suchi.
And I'll pay a visit
to Lori Saunders.
Ahem!
Mind if we tag along?
So, how can I help you?
Well, we've got...
I mean, uh...
We need, uh...
Ms. Saunders,
this is Dr. Rice.
Some burglars stole
test animals
from his research lab
last night.
Da, and they left a trail of
footprints that glow in the dark
and smell like Le Scent.
But that's impossible.
My glow cosmetics aren't even
on the market yet.
They're being certified safe
by a private lab.
Is that lab cruelty-free?
Is it...what?
Do they use animals
in their testing?
I don't know.
If you don't know,
they probably do.
And they may have stolen
Dr. Rice's animals.
That's terrible!
Have my limo
brought around now!
This is the place.
Now all we have to do
is get in.
Oh, no. Kwame, look!
Suchi! What are they
doing to him?
[ Chattering ]
[ Screeching ]
Shh!
You free Suchi, Ma-Ti.
I will look for Chester.
[ Screeching and barking ]
Shh!
Be quiet, little friends.
We will help you, too,
poor things.
Well, well, well.
Dr. Blight
will be so pleased.
[ Growls ]
Chester?
[ Panting ]
Good boy!
I will get you out.
Ma-Ti:
Kwame, watch out!
[ Gasps ] Aah!
Run!
Aah!
Whoa!
Kwame, here!
Great!
Unh!
Ah!
We are trapped!
Welcome, Planet-toads.
You're just in time
to be my first human subjects.
Dr. Blight, you
heartless butcher!
Flattery
will get you nowhere.
Stealing
helpless animals,
doing cruel,
irresponsible testing --
we should have known
it was you!
[ Laughs evilly ]
Who else?
But enough compliments.
I am warning you.
And I'm deodorizing you!
[ Coughs ]
Oh! My eyes!
[ Coughs ]
Earth!
[ Laughs evilly ]
My spray deodorant
is so toxic,
I don't know why you'd use
anything else.
MAL, honey, do your thing.
[ Both grunting ]
Good work, MAL.
[ Screeching ]
Where do you think
you're going, Scruffy?
Ma-Ti:
Do not hurt him!
Wouldn't dream of it.
I'm saving him
for a special test.
[ Alarm blares ]
Visitor alert!
Visitor alert!
Lori Saunders' limousine
is approaching, Dr. Blight.
What does that
bubblehead want?
I've barely started
testing her cosmetics.
See you later, Scurvy.
[ Screeching ]
Get these meddlers
out of sight, MAL.
Oh! Ah!
I know!
Prepare our guests
for the Draize test, MAL.
We'll see what develops.
[ Laughs evilly ]
Ahh.
So, those eco-pests
got to Lori, huh?
Well, they're not
ruining my lab.
Why, Miss Saunders!
How nice!
Dr. Blight!
And my Planeteer
pals, too!
What brings you here?
I want to see how you're
testing my glow cosmetics.
If you insist.
Follow me.
You wait here.
Sorry, Doc.
I don't think so.
Well, there are some
soft-hearted people
who object to
my testing methods,
but I assure you
they are all perfectly legal.
These animals
are being prepared
for the LD-50 test.
I had no idea.
This is awful!
And totally unnecessary.
Haven't you ever heard
of in vitro testing?
Too expensive.
But much more humane.
Who asked you?
Shall we continue?
Here we're studying
the effects
of constant cosmetic use
on skin.
I will never wear
makeup again!
And this is the Draize test.
We wouldn't want
your eye makeup
to damage sensitive eyes,
would we?
But that doesn't prove
anything!
Rabbits' eyes
aren't like human eyes!
Well, if you're going
to split "hares..."
[ Laughs evilly ]
You've lost
your humanity, Blight.
Ah! At last,
some praise!
These are my rabbits.
You stole them!
Where is Chester?
What have you done with him?!
This is inexcusable!
You're fired!
You can't fire me.
I quit!
Now I can go on to more
important testing,
like my new nerve gas.
And guess what --
you're all
going to help me!
Do your thing, MAL!
Do not move,
and you will not be harmed.
Repeat -- do not move.
I'll get you, Blight!
Mm, doubtful.
MAL, show our new subjects
to the prep room.
You'll find
some old friends there,
just waiting
to keep you company.
[ Chattering ]
Gi: Kwame! Ma-Ti!
[ Gasps ] How could you
do this?
It's inhuman!
[ Whimpering ]
There must be wiring
connecting these robotic arms
to the computer.
If only we could get to it.
[ Pants, whimpers ]
Chester! You're all right!
[ Chattering ]
Suchi, thank goodness!
Find the wiring
and pull the plug!
Warning -- animals loose
in preparation area.
Assistance required.
Code red! Code red!
Maniac monkey...
and mad mutt on the loose!
Good work, guys!
Ah!
Help!
I'm coming unplugged!
Kwame, I think it's time
for you-know-who.
Yes! Let out powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Go, Planet!
Well, Planeteers,
looks like Blight's
getting a little testy.
Look out!
Huh? Whoa!
How do you like my squeeze
play, Captain Planet?
How do you like
my disarmament
program, MAL?
No noose is good noose.
Ah!
Dr. Blight, help!
Here's something to keep
you fresh, Planet!
Pass, Dr. Blight.
I prefer something
that smells better.
Is that not Le Scent
he's talking about?
Don't try take the credit,
dearie.
This special formula
has the Blight touch.
Whoa!
Ugh!
Fry him!
I must say,
your behavior is shocking!
Aah!
Aah!
You're frying me,
you fools.
Aah!
Gribblespit!
Aooga glrrr.
I've heard
of facials,
but this
is ridiculous.
[ Gasps ] Ooh!
You haven't seen
anything yet.
Whoa!
[ Laughs ]
Blight,
your brilliance
astounds me.
[ Laughter ]
Help! Get me loose!
No, Doctor. See how it feels
to be on the receiving end.
Planeteers, let's go take care
of those poor animals.
Right! Let's get 'em
out of those cages!
No! Wait! Please!
Uh, uh, Suchi!
That's your name,
isn't it? Suchi!
You don't want to --
Aah! Aah!
I will see that all the animals
are safely returned.
Okay. You can
take it from here,
Planeteers.
Remember,
the power is yours!
[ Panting ]
Boy, that stuff's
hard to get off.
Whoa! You're just...
Ordinary?
That's right, Wheeler.
That's why people use makeup --
to look their best.
But I learned
an important lesson today.
Looking good is great,
but not at the cost
of innocent animals.
Dr. Blight: Leave me alone,
you simpering simian!
[ Laughing ]
Everyone, come and look!
[ Laughter ]
What are you brats laughing at?
No!
And remember,
Lori Saunders Cosmetics
are 100% cruelty-free.
you have my guarantee
When you use my makeup,
that no animals were used
for testing.
Choose well, because
if it's not cruelty-free,
the price is too high.
And...cut!
That's a wrap!
Yeah! All right!
[ Chattering ]
Planeteers:
Go, Planet!
I said I would never
again use makeup,
but makeup is okay
as long as it is cruelty-free.
You can help by purchasing
only cruelty-free makeup
and household products.
How do you know
which is which?
Some products say "cruelty-free"
right on the label.
There are animal help groups
that will be happy to send you
a free list of companies
that do not use
animal testing.
Be careful what you buy.
The power is yours!
Wheeler: We'll be right back
with more Planeteer action.
Planeteers:
We're back! Go, Planet!
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
You know, people who buy
illegal birds and animals
don't realize what they
go through when they're caught.
Gi:
Or how many die in the process.
It is up to people to make sure
the pets they buy
are obtained legally.
Only buy birds and animals
bred in captivity.
And protect the birds
that are meant to fly free.
If there's no market
for endangered animals,
smugglers will be
out of business for good.
Remember,
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!

Oh, my research!

Don't worry, Ma-Ti.

And I'll pay a visit
to Lori Saunders.
Ahem!
Mind if we tag along?
So, how can I help you?
Well, we've got...
I mean, uh...
We need, uh...
Ms. Saunders,
this is Dr. Rice.
Some burglars stole
test animals
from his research lab
last night.
Da, and they left a trail of
footprints that glow in the dark
and smell like Le Scent.
But that's impossible.
My glow cosmetics aren't even
on the market yet.
They're being certified safe
by a private lab.
Is that lab cruelty-free?
Is it...what?
Do they use animals
in their testing?
I don't know.
If you don't know,
they probably do.
And they may have stolen
Dr. Rice's animals.
That's terrible!
Have my limo
brought around now!
This is the place.
Now all we have to do
is get in.
Oh, no. Kwame, look!
Suchi! What are they
doing to him?
[ Chattering ]
[ Screeching ]
Shh!
You free Suchi, Ma-Ti.
I will look for Chester.
[ Screeching and barking ]
Shh!
Be quiet, little friends.
We will help you, too,
poor things.
Well, well, well.
Dr. Blight
will be so pleased.
[ Growls ]
Chester?
[ Panting ]
Good boy!
I will get you out.
Ma-Ti:
Kwame, watch out!
[ Gasps ] Aah!
Run!
Aah!
Whoa!
Kwame, here!
Great!
Unh!
Ah!
We are trapped!
Welcome, Planet-toads.
You're just in time
to be my first human subjects.
Dr. Blight, you
heartless butcher!
Flattery
will get you nowhere.
Stealing
helpless animals,
doing cruel,
irresponsible testing --
we should have known
it was you!
[ Laughs evilly ]
Who else?
But enough compliments.
I am warning you.
And I'm deodorizing you!
[ Coughs ]
Oh! My eyes!
[ Coughs ]
Earth!
[ Laughs evilly ]
My spray deodorant
is so toxic,
I don't know why you'd use
anything else.
MAL, honey, do your thing.
[ Both grunting ]
Good work, MAL.
[ Screeching ]
Where do you think
you're going, Scruffy?
Ma-Ti:
Do not hurt him!
Wouldn't dream of it.
I'm saving him
for a special test.
[ Alarm blares ]
Visitor alert!
Visitor alert!
Lori Saunders' limousine
is approaching, Dr. Blight.
What does that
bubblehead want?
I've barely started
testing her cosmetics.
See you later, Scurvy.
[ Screeching ]
Get these meddlers
out of sight, MAL.
Oh! Ah!
I know!
Prepare our guests
for the Draize test, MAL.
We'll see what develops.
[ Laughs evilly ]
Ahh.
So, those eco-pests
got to Lori, huh?
Well, they're not
ruining my lab.
Why, Miss Saunders!
How nice!
Dr. Blight!
And my Planeteer
pals, too!
What brings you here?
I want to see how you're
testing my glow cosmetics.
If you insist.
Follow me.
You wait here.
Sorry, Doc.
I don't think so.
Well, there are some
soft-hearted people
who object to
my testing methods,
but I assure you
they are all perfectly legal.
These animals
are being prepared
for the LD-50 test.
I had no idea.
This is awful!
And totally unnecessary.
Haven't you ever heard
of in vitro testing?
Too expensive.
But much more humane.
Who asked you?
Shall we continue?
Here we're studying
the effects
of constant cosmetic use
on skin.
I will never wear
makeup again!
And this is the Draize test.
We wouldn't want
your eye makeup
to damage sensitive eyes,
would we?
But that doesn't prove
anything!
Rabbits' eyes
aren't like human eyes!
Well, if you're going
to split "hares..."
[ Laughs evilly ]
You've lost
your humanity, Blight.
Ah! At last,
some praise!
These are my rabbits.
You stole them!
Where is Chester?
What have you done with him?!
This is inexcusable!
You're fired!
You can't fire me.
I quit!
Now I can go on to more
important testing,
like my new nerve gas.
And guess what --
you're all
going to help me!
Do your thing, MAL!
Do not move,
and you will not be harmed.
Repeat -- do not move.
I'll get you, Blight!
Mm, doubtful.
MAL, show our new subjects
to the prep room.
You'll find
some old friends there,
just waiting
to keep you company.
[ Chattering ]
Gi: Kwame! Ma-Ti!
[ Gasps ] How could you
do this?
It's inhuman!
[ Whimpering ]
There must be wiring
connecting these robotic arms
to the computer.
If only we could get to it.
[ Pants, whimpers ]
Chester! You're all right!
[ Chattering ]
Suchi, thank goodness!
Find the wiring
and pull the plug!
Warning -- animals loose
in preparation area.
Assistance required.
Code red! Code red!
Maniac monkey...
and mad mutt on the loose!
Good work, guys!
Ah!
Help!
I'm coming unplugged!
Kwame, I think it's time
for you-know-who.
Yes! Let out powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Go, Planet!
Well, Planeteers,
looks like Blight's
getting a little testy.
Look out!
Huh? Whoa!
How do you like my squeeze
play, Captain Planet?
How do you like
my disarmament
program, MAL?
No noose is good noose.
Ah!
Dr. Blight, help!
Here's something to keep
you fresh, Planet!
Pass, Dr. Blight.
I prefer something
that smells better.
Is that not Le Scent
he's talking about?
Don't try take the credit,
dearie.
This special formula
has the Blight touch.
Whoa!
Ugh!
Fry him!
I must say,
your behavior is shocking!
Aah!
Aah!
You're frying me,
you fools.
Aah!
Gribblespit!
Aooga glrrr.
I've heard
of facials,
but this
is ridiculous.
[ Gasps ] Ooh!
You haven't seen
anything yet.
Whoa!
[ Laughs ]
Blight,
your brilliance
astounds me.
[ Laughter ]
Help! Get me loose!
No, Doctor. See how it feels
to be on the receiving end.
Planeteers, let's go take care
of those poor animals.
Right! Let's get 'em
out of those cages!
No! Wait! Please!
Uh, uh, Suchi!
That's your name,
isn't it? Suchi!
You don't want to --
Aah! Aah!
I will see that all the animals
are safely returned.
Okay. You can
take it from here,
Planeteers.
Remember,
the power is yours!
[ Panting ]
Boy, that stuff's
hard to get off.
Whoa! You're just...
Ordinary?
That's right, Wheeler.
That's why people use makeup --
to look their best.
But I learned
an important lesson today.
Looking good is great,
but not at the cost
of innocent animals.
Dr. Blight: Leave me alone,
you simpering simian!
[ Laughing ]
Everyone, come and look!
[ Laughter ]
What are you brats laughing at?
No!
And remember,
Lori Saunders Cosmetics
are 100% cruelty-free.
you have my guarantee
When you use my makeup,
that no animals were used
for testing.
Choose well, because
if it's not cruelty-free,
the price is too high.
And...cut!
That's a wrap!
Yeah! All right!
[ Chattering ]
Planeteers:
Go, Planet!
I said I would never
again use makeup,
but makeup is okay
as long as it is cruelty-free.
You can help by purchasing
only cruelty-free makeup
and household products.
How do you know
which is which?
Some products say "cruelty-free"
right on the label.
There are animal help groups
that will be happy to send you
a free list of companies
that do not use
animal testing.
Be careful what you buy.
The power is yours!
Wheeler: We'll be right back
with more Planeteer action.
Planeteers:
We're back! Go, Planet!
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
You know, people who buy
illegal birds and animals
don't realize what they
go through when they're caught.
Gi:
Or how many die in the process.
It is up to people to make sure
the pets they buy
are obtained legally.
Only buy birds and animals
bred in captivity.
And protect the birds
that are meant to fly free.
If there's no market
for endangered animals,
smugglers will be
out of business for good.
Remember,
the power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
