Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 3, Episode 8 - OK at the Gunfight Corral - 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".

Greedly: There she is, boys --
my own time machine.

Paid Blight plenty
for it, too.

But it's gonna be
our passport

to big bucks
and unlimited garbage dumping.

[ Laughs, snorts ]

Sludge: Ha! Sounds too good
to be true.



[ Beeping ]

How do you know
this thing even works?

I don't. That's why
you're going first.

[ Laughs ]

Aah!

[ Slurping ]

[ Snorting ]

Ow!

Well, I guess it works.
Let's go, partners.

[ Bird screeches ]

**

Gaia: Look at this.
It's disgusting.

[ Speaks Russian ]
Horrors.

That looks like
the Grand Canyon.

That's impossible!

They cannot dump there.
It is a national park.

And how could it fill up
with trash so fast?

It's been happening
for a long time, Kwame.

The river downstream is polluted
for hundreds of miles.

The soil around it --
ruined forever.

Let me get this straight --

Somebody's been dumping garbage
in the Grand Canyon for years,

and nobody noticed?

That's crazy!

But it's legal, Wheeler.

Somebody bought
the Grand Canyon.

There's been a disturbance
in the space-time continuum.

That's like somebody
going back in time

and changing history,
right, Gaia?

How did you know that,
Wheeler?

I saw it in a movie.

I've pinpointed the location
of the disturbance

where their time machine
must be.

You have to go back and stop
whoever's behind this.

So how far back in time
do we go?

I can't be sure.

But indicators tell me
sometime in the 1800s.

That's the old West!
No sweat.

I got it nailed!

Good luck, Planeteers.

Yee-haw!

Head them up
and move them out.

Bozhe moi!

Kwame:
I do not see anyone.

Wow! Look at all
that equipment.

That's got to be
the time machine.

Ma-Ti:
But how do we use it?

Let me take a look.

Seems to be a simple system,
and it's got a program log.

Looks like someone
went back to 1870.

Then we must go back
and stop them

before they
change history.

You're right.
I'll set the time.

I am glad
you understand it.

Look!
That must be the time portal.

We must be careful.

Careful?
That's for tenderfeet.

Whoopee-ky-yi-oh!

[ Gulps ]

Um...[ Chuckles nervously ]

Who would
like to be next?

Come on,
you guys.

Somebody
needs our help.

[ Horses neigh ]

Down there.

Yee-haw!

[ Breathing heavily ]

My sheep!
Leave them alone!

[ Laughter, gunshots ]

We told you to keep away
from here, injun.

Now we're gonna
teach you a lesson.

Aah!

Yee-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Ugh! Aah!

Fire.

[ Horse whinnies ]

Wind!

Whoa!

My sheep!

[ Sheep bleating, gunshot ]

Heart!

[ Gunshots ]

Hyah! Get along. Get.

[ All scream ]

Whoa!
Let's get out of here.

Get away, skin-walkers.

What?
He thinks we are spirits.

Do not be afraid,
my brother.

I am Ma-Ti
of the Kayapo.

I am Keeyani of the
Navaho Clear Water clan.

But if you are not
skin-walkers,

why do you have
such powers?

This will take some time
to explain.

And so, my ring gives me
the power of water.

You are truly blessed.

Ma-Ti,
tell me of your ring.

Where I'm from,
far South of here,

the forest grew
thick from rains.

But outsiders came,
bringing sickness,

and my people
were in danger.

Our forest
was being destroyed.

And it seemed as though
we could do nothing.

Then Gaia found me
and gave me this ring --

the power of heart.

It was the best moment
of my life

because she showed me

I could save my people
and the Earth.

I, too, know the feeling
of helplessness, my friend.

My people are being driven away
from our land

by the man who snorts.

Snorts?
You mean like a pig?

Yes.
He's called Hoggish.

Greedly!
Greedly!

You know him?

We have faced him
many times.

But don't you worry none,
partner.

We're gonna hogtie
that porker

if it's the last thing
we ever do.

Man:
Then the dangest happened --

these five strangers
come out of nowhere --

[ Spits ] Five?

Uh-huh. Yeah.

And then a fire burned clean
through my rope.

And just about then,

a blast of wind
knocked me clean off my horse.

Planeteers! Oh, no.

What are you
mumbling about?

Oh, nothing,
I hope. I hope.

Go ahead. Grab the Indian
and bring him back.

I'll get him, all right.
[ Laughs ]

[ Muffled scream ]

Ow!

Hey!
Hey, what's going on?

Uh-oh.
Let's hightail it.

I will stop them.
Earth!

Aah!
What the?!

[ Both scream ]

Yep. Yep. Planet-brats.
Better tell the boss.

Greedly: Planet-punks?
Where are they now?

Well, uh, I-I don't know,
boss.

[ Snorting ]

You don't know?
You let them get away?

You numskull!

Great trail boss
you signed on.

Why didn't you follow them,
you blundering oaf?

Well, I was going to.

You were gonna?

What a lamebrain!

[ Snorts ] Hey, let's get this
straight, Sludge.

He may be a lamebrain,
but he's my lamebrain.

Th-th-thanks, boss.
I was --

Listen, you lamebrain,
you better get out there and...

...find them!
Aah!

Look! They just throw their
trash out behind their houses.

Hey, check it out!
This is good stuff!

Wheeler, this is no time
for recycling.

Well, ma'am, I was just going to
mosey on into town

and track me down
a desperado.

Wheeler's right! We need clothes
like the townspeople wear.

I'll take a quick look around
and meet you guys back here.

[ Piano music playing ]

[ Door closes ]

[ Piano stops ]

[ Piano resumes ]
What'll it be, stranger?

Uh, make it
sarsaparilla!

You sure
you can handle it?

[ Laughs ]

Drink's on the house
today.

Right neighborly.
What's the occasion?

Mr. Greedly's feeling generous
for a change.

He's buying
another piece of land.

Practically owns
the whole canyon.

Only two holdouts left.

One's a crazy
old prospector --

got a real weakness
for cards.

Greedly's fixin' to hornswoggle
him into a poker game.

I guess the other holdout
is...

Owner
of the general store.

Name of Stovall.
Stubborn as a mule.

Greedly: Bartender!
Over here!

Me and my friend
are celebrating.

Excuse me.

Be right there,
Mr. Greedly.

Two suckers to go,

and the whole canyon's
ours!

And tonight, we take care
of that storekeeper.

Yeah! This little piggy
goes to market.

[ Laughs ]

[ Coughs ]

[ Snorts ]

I'll be right
with you, there.

Hold it right there.

You know your kind
ain't allowed in here.

Hey!
What do you mean?

Wheeler,
this is not the time.

Do not forget
why we are here.

We'll meet you
on the hill north of town.

Now what do you want?

[ Door closes ]
We want to save
the Grand Canyon.

Wheeler: And then he told us
to mind our own business

and kicked us out.

And the way
he treated you guys,

man, I just wanted to --

He's just ignorant,
Wheeler.

He's not alone.

Wheeler, we're here
to stop Greedly.

We can't get
caught up in --
[ Explosion ]

[ All gasping ]

Linka: Look! The general store
is on fire!

[ Coughing ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

We must help him!

Aah!
Look out!

Let's get out of here!

Linka: And now,
back to "Captain Planet".

[ All coughing ]

My store. My home.

[ Coughing continues ]

Wheeler:
They can't get out!

Where are
the townspeople?

Greedly must have
paid them off.

Water!

[ Horse neighs ]

[ All coughing ]

[ All gasp ]

Come on! Let's get out of here
before Greedly's men find us.

Ohh!

Ow! My head.

Be careful.

You are hurt.

Hurt?

My store!

We could not
save it.

Now I remember.

You boys, you pulled me
out of the fire.

Ma-Ti: You needed help.

After the way
I treated you?

Well, thank you.

If there's ever anything
I can do...

There is.

You can refuse to sell
your canyon land to Greedly.

Ma'am, I don't rightly see
that I have a choice anymore.

I got no place to live
and nothing to live on.

But you can't sell!

Greedly's gonna fill
the Grand Canyon with trash.

You're crazy.
That's impossible.

Come with us.

Let us show you something
that might change your mind.

I can't think what that
might be, but I'll take a look.

I owe you that.

You guys go on.

I'm gonna stay here
and keep my eye on Greedly.

Mr. Stovall, get ready
for the trip of your life.

Let's go!

Greedly: I'll see your $200,
and I'll raise you $1,000.

How do you dig that,
prospector?

[ Laughs, snorts ]

I'm in.

Well, look at
all them greenbacks.

Whoo-whee, bog boy!

Cards.

One.

Dealer takes three.

[ Piano music playing ]

Well, prospector,
it's your bet.

What do you say to $2,000,
Mr. Greedly?

Fine. [ Snorts ]

Uh, b-boss?

Not now, Rigger.

But, boss,
it's impor--

Not now,
needle nose!

Can't you see
I'm playing cards?

Get out of here!

I'll see your $2,000...

[ Snorts ]

...and I'll raise you
$20,000 more.

[ All gasp ]

$20,000?
I ain't got that kind of money.

Then I guess
you'll just have to fold,

unless you'd like
to put up your canyon claim.

Well, what will it be,
prospector?

Call!

Now, let's see
what you've got.

Read them and weep,
grandpa.

Four queens.

[ Laughs ]

[ Snorts ]

Hogwash, Greedly.
You cheated!

[ All gasp, murmuring ]

I know that voice.

I hate that voice.

Huh?

Ow!

Planet-pip-squeak!

Fire!

Ouch!

Greedly, you low-down,
ornery cheat! I ought to --

Grab your deed
and get out of here!

I'll cover you!

Not so fast,
old-timer.

You asked for this.
F--

His ring!
Get his ring!

Didn't they tell you to check
your fire power at the door?

Naughty, naughty.

Here, boss.

Keeyani: So much trash.
Where did it come from?

Linka:
Well, in our time, there are
billions of people in the world.

Kwame:
And in developed countries
like this, people are wasteful.

Heck, same thing
happened to us.

Ever since Greedly started
throwing his money around,

people have been spending it
like wildfire.

Throwing away stuff
they would have kept before.

Ma-Ti:
This is our future if Greedly
buys up all the property.

My great-grandkids
got to live with this?

No, sir. We got to
stop that polecat!

Keeyani: With all these
wonderful machines,

could you not find ways
to stop making so much trash?

Keeyani, you think
like a Planeteer.

Come on! Hurry!
Hurry!

[ Grunting ]

[ Laughter ]

[ Snorts ]

Time for a showdown,
planet-brat.

Wait a minute,
partner.

We still don't have
that storekeeper's deed.

You and Rigger
stake out his place.

Uh, yeah, boss. Yeah.

He'll show up
sooner or later.

Pick it up, hombre.
I'm-a calling you out.

This time,
it's just you and me.

[ Laughs, snorts ]

With you gone,
the planet-twerps

will never summon that meddler
Captain Planet again.

You got to love it.

Right here,
hog-breath.

I don't see anyone.

Yep, yep,
got them now.

Here it is,
safe and sound.

Good. Now we can
go find Wheeler.

Aah!

Give me the deed,
or your friend

is gonna have
a ventilation problem.

And no sudden moves with those
rings, planet pilgrims.

No!

It's all right, Keeyani.

It ain't worth
getting hurt over.

Now, let's go.
All of you.

There's a shoot-out
at the Gunfight Corral

I think you'll all
want to see.

Wheeler! Nyet!

Well, looky here.

Planet-pests -- just in time
to see the brat's final show.

Wheeler,
use your ring!

Wheeler: That low-down,
dirty skunk took my ring.

He's a cheat
and he's a liar,

but worse than that,
he's a polluter.

Sweet talk ain't gonna save you,
planet-punk.

Now draw!

Hang on a second!

I want to check out
this leather.

He's very good.

I hope he does not
shoot himself.

Can't.
He ain't got no bullets.

Oops.

Oh, no! Wheeler!

You ain't got
no bullets!

[ Gasps ]
Greedly: Hey, what the?!

Rigger: Uh-oh.

Man: Looks like my hog futures
just took a nose dive.

My ring.

[ Grunts ]

Ugh! My back.

Hold it right there.

Keep them covered,
Bart.

Yo, Bart! Fire!

What? Yeow!

Ow!

Ma-Ti!

Come on, Greedly.
I got the last deed.

They are
getting away!

[ Horse neighs ]

If they close the time portal,
we'll never get back.

We have to stop them!

You ain't going nowhere,
boy.

But you are.

Aah!

Ma-Ti is out cold,
Gaia.

And we need
Captain Planet.

Yaa'eh t'eeh,
Keeyani.

I am Gaia.

You would honor us
by using Ma-Ti's ring

to summon
Captain Planet.

I, uh, um...

It is I
who am honored.

Then let our powers
combine!

Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

Water!

Say heart!

Heart!

By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!

All: Go, Planet!

Uh, go, Planet!

Good to have you with us,
Keeyani!

Uh, thank you.

Well, Partnerteers,
looks like I got here

just in time
for the big roundup.

Got to go catch me
some bad guys.

[ Horse neighs ]

Whoa!

Oh! Where am I?

Rigger:
Hurry, boss, hurry.

Sludge: We made it.

All we have to do
is run through the portal

and close it, and the Planeteers
will be history.

What's that?

It can't be.

Aah!

Run for it!

Aah!

Yee-ha-ha-haw!

I better get you varmints
over to the hoosegow --

or should I say hogs-gow.

Don't drop me,
you butterfinger.

[ Shouting indistinctly ]

[ Hammer banging ]

How do you
like it, Keeyani?

Keeyani: It looks very fine,
Mr. Stovall.

Fine enough
for you to work in?

You -- you want me
to work for you?

It would make me
mighty proud.

Rigger:
Oh, don't worry, boss.

Blight will get us back to the
future any minute now, you see.

We still owe her six payments
on the time machine.

This is all your fault,
tortoise-brain!

[ Clears throat ]
Do you mind?

Be my guest.

You harebrained
snake-breath.

[ Sighs ]

Now,
this is more like it.

Mother nature likes
to have things back to normal.

Hey, Gaia, everybody, look what
I found in the history book.

It's Keeyani!

It says he became
an exalted medicine man

and pioneering environmentalist
of the Navajo.

Check this out!

Captain Planet:
The power is yours!

Planeteers: Go, planet!

Gaia: Fortunately, we don't use
the Grand Canyon as a landfill.

But if we did, it would probably
overflow in very little time.

We must all do our part
and remember the three Rs.

Reduce the amount of trash
you cause

by buying products
that use less packaging.

Reuse things if they
can be repaired.

And recycle things
like aluminum cans,

glass bottles, newspapers.

So do your part.

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!
