Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 4, Episode 15 - You Bet Your Planet - full transcript
Captain Planet:
Our world is in peril.
Gaia, the spirit of 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!
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!
The power is yours!
Linka: "Captain Planet"
will be right back.
Linka: We now return
to "Captain Planet."
**
Wheeler: Man, this place
gives me the heebies.
Linka:
None of this makes any sense.
I just wish we knew
what happened to Captain Planet.
Yeah. He's been
gone over a week.
And I kind of feel naked
without my firepower.
If you know what I mean.
I still do not understand
why Gaia sent us here.
All she said is that,
"The future of the planet
is at stake."
Talk about keeping us
in the dark.
What the...
What is going on?
And let's have a globally
warmed welcome
for our challengers,
the Planeteers!
Today, we've
traveled to a planet
where they've taken
polluting to an art form.
What in the world?
They are extraterrestrials!
They're extra somethin'
all right!
Now, it's time
to welcome the host of
"You Bet Your Planet,"
Lexo Starbuck!
[ Cheering ]
Thank you, Barv!
I can't remember where I've seen
an earthier-looking bunch!
Can you, audience?
Uh, would you mind tellin' us
what we're doin' here?
After an extensive
star search,
your planet was picked
as the most polluted!
So you're here to play,
"You Bet Your Planet."
Are your returning
champions ready?
[ Cheering ]
Plunder!
Greedly!
What are they doin' here?
I'm sure you're all familiar
with our show!
We're numero uno in the galaxy!
Number one?
You're not even on cable.
The game's simple.
As Earth's
celestial neighbors,
we've been watching
you for centuries.
And we've decided
that the situation
on your planet has reached
a critical point.
Today, on this very show,
Earth's future
will be decided!
If the eco-villains win,
they'll be free
to trash the planet!
And if we win?
Tell the Planeteers
what's in it for them, Barv!
Well, Lexo, the answer is
behind curtain number one!
I bet it's a convertible.
This is horrible!
Especially since
we don't have our powers
as long as
Captain Planet is here!
We must do something!
And you'll have that chance
in just a minute.
Barv, tell 'em what
happens if they win.
If they win,
Captain Planet goes free!
But if they lose,
it's curtains for the Captain.
But don't worry, Planeteers,
because everyone's a winner
on "You Bet Your Planet!"
Right, Barv?
Right, Lexo!
All contestants receive
the home version of our show.
I don't know about you guys,
but I'm ready to kick some butt!
Yeah!
Da! We agree.
All right! Yeah!
The first round is
"Truth or Eat The Consequences."
I need one contestant
from each team!
I'll go first.
Says who?!
Says my superior
intellect, ham head.
Cool it, you two. We're on
the same team, unfortunately.
I think Kwame
should go first.
Me, too.
Yes. Go for it, Kwame!
All right, Planeteers.
Here goes.
Ah!
Name the most recent
nuclear accident!
Kwame!
Last week, a truck carrying
nuclear waste crashed
in Los Angeles, California.
You are...
absolutely right!
The Planeteers are on
the board with 50 points!
[ Cheering, booing ]
Plunder, you pile of bile!
Ah!
The planet geek was wrong.
That's the latest
nuclear accident.
Well, judges, what do you say?
Looks like the eco-villains
take an early lead.
But he created that disaster!
Hey, you humans
are good at that.
It's time to clean up
or shut down!
Since the Planeteers lost
the "Truth or Eat
The Consequences" round,
it's time for
Captain Planet to eat it.
Wait. What are they...
What is going on?
Have you got something nasty
for Captain Planet
to eat today, Barv?
Barv: That's right, Lexo!
Nothing humans
aren't dumping
into their own oceans!
Its a toxic-taste treat,
raw sewage with a dollop
of chemical compote.
No, thanks.
I'm dieting.
Hey, that looks pretty good!
[ Shouting ]
That does it!
Those guys are toast!
Well, that gives our viewers
a taste of life on Earth.
And now, it's time for a word
from our intergalactic sponsor.
Announcer: Is air pollution
on your planet
so thick you can cut it
with a knife?
Do your lawns explode
between your garage
and your front door?
Has toxic tap water
lodged up your liver
or clogged your kidneys?
Well, have we got
a deal for you
at Wrexom's Replacement Organs.
Pollution wrecks it.
We replace it.
Free installation in an hour,
or we pay
the funeral costs.
[ Cheering ]
We've cut to space
station identification.
Two minutes to air.
You're doing great, kids.
We'll kill "Sphere of Fortune"
and start racking
the ratings!
I can't believe you --
you aliens are so callous
you'd help the eco-villains
destroy Earth.
[ Laughing ]
Help?
We don't need to help!
Greed and thoughtlessness
have turned your planet
into a polluter's paradise!
For us, this isn't
about good or evil.
It's about ratings, baby!
We're back in three, two,
one...
Welcome back to
"You Bet Your Planet."
It's time for round two,
"Garbage Gladiators,"
a test of stench
and agility.
Each team will select their best
garbage gladiator for the job.
I wanna play!
Sock it to 'em, Nukey!
The villains have
selected Duke Nukem!
Who have the Planeteers chosen?
Who's gonna go next?
I don't know
Whoever it is,
I'm gonna nuke 'em
into the next solar system.
I'm tellin' you, I can handle
that power rod reject.
No, Wheeler.
It is too dangerous!
So who will it be?
We are still trying to decide!
You'd better hurry, or --
[ Buzzer ]
Oop!
Too late. The judges
will decide for you.
Judges, who will it be?
The one called Linka.
Oh!
Hey, she can't take
on that palooka.
Since your Planeteer ring
is nonfunctional,
Vanana has a handy-dandy
dyno fan for you.
Be careful out there, babe.
Barv, can you explain
the rules to our viewers?
It simple, Lexo!
Nukem tries to dump garbage
while Linka tries to stop him!
And she'd better
reach the green button
before the Duke of Nukes
reaches the brown one.
Go get 'em, Linka!
Come on, Linka! You can do it!
Barv: If she doesn't, all the
waste will end up in the drink
and so will Captain Planet!
Bottom's up, bio-brat!
Come on, Linka!
You can do it!
Go get 'em, Linka!
Bozhe moi!
Wind!
No wind!
How about a shower, blondie?
Attaboy!
Time to drum up
a little pollution.
Hate to burst
your bubble, blondie.
But your planet's history!
No way, Nukem!
No! Ah!
Take that, Captain Puny!
Oh, no!
Ah!
[ Cheering ]
I am so sorry,
Captain Planet!
Oh, no.
[ Coughing ]
Tough luck, Linka.
But it just goes
to show it's easier
to mess it up
than to clean it up!
[ Coughing, choking ]
I can't take much more.
Wheeler: "Captain Planet"
will be right back.
Wheeler: We now return
to "Captain Planet."
[ Coughing ]
[ Cheering ]
And now, before we begin
our next round,
let's learn a little bit
about the contestants!
So, Linka,
what do you like to do
when you're not
fighting eco-villains?
Not that it is
any of your business,
but I do like to go dancing.
You do?
I didn't know that.
There are many parts of me
you do not know, Yankee.
Uh. That's fascinating.
And how about you, Dr. Blight?
What do you enjoy doing
when you're not
conducting environmentally
hazardous experiments?
Well, Lexo, there's nothing
like a long soak in a toxic tub
with the latest copy
of Cosmo-Pollution Magazine.
[ Gasps ]
My, what a lovely
complexion you have.
Personally, I like creaming
obnoxious
suck-up gameshow hosts!
[ Stammering ] Now, it's time
for the relay race!
And along the way,
don't be surprised
if you come against
a few eco-obstacles!
This contest pits MAL
and Greedly
against Wheeler and Ma-Ti!
Make us proud, Ma-Ti!
Wheeler...
For luck.
Vanana has a special
wrist-modded
flamethrower for Wheeler
to simulate his firepower.
What about my heart power?
You can have
my Rexon Replaco heart.
It's the latest model.
Uh, thanks, but no, thanks.
Suit yourself, kid.
Well, contestants,
to the starting line, please.
You all know how
the race works, right?
We're gonna puree
you, Planeteers.
Guess again, puerco!
The players carry their batons
through the obstacles down
and back and then hand off
to their teammates
who do the same.
The first team
to complete two laps wins.
Sit tight, my man.
I'll be back in a flash.
On your marks,
get set, go!
Hey! Wait!
Ma-Ti: Hurry, Wheeler! Go!
Go, Wheeler!
You can do it!
Move it, byte-head!
[ Air horn blowing ]
Huh?
Fire!
Laser!
Oh, no. Am I
in a heap of trouble.
Come on, Wheeler!
You can do it!
You can do it!
Pile it on,
I always say!
Ah!
So long, sucker!
Hey!
Hey, that's not fair.
Everything's fair
in love and game shows.
Unh!
Hurry, Ma-Ti! You've gotta beat
that road hog!
How about a tuna pill?!
Run, Ma-Ti!
Planeteers: Go, Ma-Ti!
Whoa!
One more dirty trick,
planet punk.
[ Jeering ]
[ Cheering ]
I'm sorry.
Its not your fault,
little buddy.
This double bonus
round's a real gas
for Captain Planet!
We took a little
expressway air --
[ Gas hissing ].
Breathe deep, Planet.
Stay tuned for
"Really Final Jeopardy,"
right after this important
message from our sponsor.
Announcer: Have you polluted
your planet to the point
you can't live
on it any more?
[ Shrieking ]
Well, just because
it's unsuitable for your species
doesn't mean
it's a total loss.
Something out there
may thrive on your toxics.
For more information
about how you can dump
your poisoned planet
and find another one to pollute,
call 1-8000-TOXICMATCH.
Toxic Match found me
and my species a new world.
And if we wreck it
in less than 50 years,
they'll find us another
one absolutely free!
Hey, you kids better jot down
that Toxic Match number.
Judging by the score,
Earth may be
needing it real soon.
Yeah, well don't
count us out yet.
[ Bell dinging ]
Ah! You said the secret word.
Count! You win a light-year's
supply of Space Toasties,
the cereal
that makes you a star!
Hurry!
Hurry, Planeteers!
He's right!
It's only a half-hour show.
So, Gi and Dr. Blight,
come on down!
Hey, doing anything special
after the show, gorgeous?
We surveyed
an intergalactic audience.
And the top-five answers
are on the board.
The question is,
"What are the five best ways
for Earthlings to deal
with environmental problems?"
Look! It's Gaia!
Huh?
[ Buzzer ]
Oh, it was just
some other insect.
Nice work, MAL, baby.
So, Dr. Blight,
name one of the five
best ways
for Earthlings
to deal with pollution.
Make more, of course!
Sorry, it didn't
make our survey.
Hey, what's the deal here?
That was a great answer!
All right, Gi!
What do you think
the survey said?
"Stop polluting our oceans."
Let's see if it's there.
The survey says...
the number two answer is,
"Stop polluting the ocean."
What do you say?
Uh, recycle?
Recycle is number three!
But we're still looking
for the number-one answer!
Um, uh, eh, carpooling!
Survey says,
"Spacepooling!"
Judges?
Blight: No, get out of here!
[ Cheering ]
Plant trees.
Is it there?
The Planeteers
have taken the lead!
One more correct answer,
and they win the game!
All right!
Well, Ma-Ti?
Protect wildlife!
Protect wildlife!
Villains, get ready!
You may have a chance
to steal and win the game!
Stealing? I like
the sound of that.
Conserve water!
Is it there?
[ Buzzer ]
No!
It's all up to you!
Come on, Wheeler!
Do it for Captain Planet!
Conserve energy by turning
off lights and appliances?
Da!
Good answer, Wheeler.
For the game,
"Conserve energy!"
[ Grumbling ]
[ Cheering, laughing ]
Okay, villains.
You have a chance to steal.
You've got to agree
on one answer between you.
Yuck! Teamwork?
We've got to think of things
to save the planet?!
Ugh!
What do you say?
Just give me
a minute, sweetums,
to check with my team.
What do you think, guys?
[ Chatter ]
Um, stop nuclear radiation?
No more clear-cutting forests?
Ugh, give up exploiting
poor countries?
Wrong, bozos.
I know what they do.
They'd control
population growth.
Then I wouldn't have
all those wonderful subjects
to use as guinea pigs.
[ Crosstalk ]
[ Clears throat ]
One, it's an alien audience.
Two, consider the sponsor.
Ergo, the answer must be,
"Move to another planet."
You know, I think old
MAL-function here has something.
That's a stupid answer!
No!
Move to another planet!
That's it!
Well, sweet cheek,
what'll it be?
Move to another planet!
No! Control population growth!
For the game,
is the answer,
"Control population growth"?
[ Buzzer ]
The Planeteers win the game!
Mwah!
Let's see what the number
one answer was!
"Move to another planet."
Imagine that.
Ah! Ugh!
I don't care what
the stupid survey says!
I'm going to finish off
Captain Puny!
[ Planeteers shouting ]
Hey! This isn't
in my contract!
Hang on, Cap!
Water!
Fire!
These kids are real winners.
And even though their
world's in big trouble,
I'd bet my planet on them!
'Til next week, folks!
Aah!
[ Alarm clocks buzzing ]
[ Yawns ] I just had
the weirdest nightmare!
Me too, about an
intergalactic gameshow!
Yeah.
And you kissed me.
Uh, definitely
a nightmare.
No, could not be.
[ Greedly sobbing ]
I still can't believe
they beat us!
Go, Planet!
Captain Planet: This is the only
Earth we've got.
So we must all do
our part to protect it.
Recycling is one thing
that everyone can do.
By recycling glass,
aluminum and paper,
less waste goes
into landfills.
And we help conserve Earth's
limited resources.
Wheeler:
And we need to buy recycled.
Only when recycled materials
make it back into our homes
as new products
is the cycle complete.
The power is yours!
Gi: "Captain Planet"
will be right back.
Gi: We now return
to "Captain Planet."
Go, Planet!
Gaia: Nature has its own way
of dealing with pests.
So we have to be careful about
our use of chemical pesticides
because they can
upset the ecosystem
and kill the good bugs
along with the bad.
Even spiders fulfill
an important purpose in nature.
So if you find one in the house,
don't kill it.
You can take it
outside like this.
Or ask your parents to help.
And be careful
about how you use
antibiotics and other medicine
because just like pesticides,
you can kill the good
germs along with the bad.
All: The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
-Wind!
-Water!
Heart!
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!
Our world is in peril.
Gaia, the spirit of Earth,
can no longer stand
the terrible destruction
plaguing our planet.
She sends five magic rings
to five special young people:
Kwame, from Africa,

the race works, right?
We're gonna puree
you, Planeteers.
Guess again, puerco!
The players carry their batons
through the obstacles down
and back and then hand off
to their teammates
who do the same.
The first team
to complete two laps wins.
Sit tight, my man.
I'll be back in a flash.
On your marks,
get set, go!
Hey! Wait!
Ma-Ti: Hurry, Wheeler! Go!
Go, Wheeler!
You can do it!
Move it, byte-head!
[ Air horn blowing ]
Huh?
Fire!
Laser!
Oh, no. Am I
in a heap of trouble.
Come on, Wheeler!
You can do it!
You can do it!
Pile it on,
I always say!
Ah!
So long, sucker!
Hey!
Hey, that's not fair.
Everything's fair
in love and game shows.
Unh!
Hurry, Ma-Ti! You've gotta beat
that road hog!
How about a tuna pill?!
Run, Ma-Ti!
Planeteers: Go, Ma-Ti!
Whoa!
One more dirty trick,
planet punk.
[ Jeering ]
[ Cheering ]
I'm sorry.
Its not your fault,
little buddy.
This double bonus
round's a real gas
for Captain Planet!
We took a little
expressway air --
[ Gas hissing ].
Breathe deep, Planet.
Stay tuned for
"Really Final Jeopardy,"
right after this important
message from our sponsor.
Announcer: Have you polluted
your planet to the point
you can't live
on it any more?
[ Shrieking ]
Well, just because
it's unsuitable for your species
doesn't mean
it's a total loss.
Something out there
may thrive on your toxics.
For more information
about how you can dump
your poisoned planet
and find another one to pollute,
call 1-8000-TOXICMATCH.
Toxic Match found me
and my species a new world.
And if we wreck it
in less than 50 years,
they'll find us another
one absolutely free!
Hey, you kids better jot down
that Toxic Match number.
Judging by the score,
Earth may be
needing it real soon.
Yeah, well don't
count us out yet.
[ Bell dinging ]
Ah! You said the secret word.
Count! You win a light-year's
supply of Space Toasties,
the cereal
that makes you a star!
Hurry!
Hurry, Planeteers!
He's right!
It's only a half-hour show.
So, Gi and Dr. Blight,
come on down!
Hey, doing anything special
after the show, gorgeous?
We surveyed
an intergalactic audience.
And the top-five answers
are on the board.
The question is,
"What are the five best ways
for Earthlings to deal
with environmental problems?"
Look! It's Gaia!
Huh?
[ Buzzer ]
Oh, it was just
some other insect.
Nice work, MAL, baby.
So, Dr. Blight,
name one of the five
best ways
for Earthlings
to deal with pollution.
Make more, of course!
Sorry, it didn't
make our survey.
Hey, what's the deal here?
That was a great answer!
All right, Gi!
What do you think
the survey said?
"Stop polluting our oceans."
Let's see if it's there.
The survey says...
the number two answer is,
"Stop polluting the ocean."
What do you say?
Uh, recycle?
Recycle is number three!
But we're still looking
for the number-one answer!
Um, uh, eh, carpooling!
Survey says,
"Spacepooling!"
Judges?
Blight: No, get out of here!
[ Cheering ]
Plant trees.
Is it there?
The Planeteers
have taken the lead!
One more correct answer,
and they win the game!
All right!
Well, Ma-Ti?
Protect wildlife!
Protect wildlife!
Villains, get ready!
You may have a chance
to steal and win the game!
Stealing? I like
the sound of that.
Conserve water!
Is it there?
[ Buzzer ]
No!
It's all up to you!
Come on, Wheeler!
Do it for Captain Planet!
Conserve energy by turning
off lights and appliances?
Da!
Good answer, Wheeler.
For the game,
"Conserve energy!"
[ Grumbling ]
[ Cheering, laughing ]
Okay, villains.
You have a chance to steal.
You've got to agree
on one answer between you.
Yuck! Teamwork?
We've got to think of things
to save the planet?!
Ugh!
What do you say?
Just give me
a minute, sweetums,
to check with my team.
What do you think, guys?
[ Chatter ]
Um, stop nuclear radiation?
No more clear-cutting forests?
Ugh, give up exploiting
poor countries?
Wrong, bozos.
I know what they do.
They'd control
population growth.
Then I wouldn't have
all those wonderful subjects
to use as guinea pigs.
[ Crosstalk ]
[ Clears throat ]
One, it's an alien audience.
Two, consider the sponsor.
Ergo, the answer must be,
"Move to another planet."
You know, I think old
MAL-function here has something.
That's a stupid answer!
No!
Move to another planet!
That's it!
Well, sweet cheek,
what'll it be?
Move to another planet!
No! Control population growth!
For the game,
is the answer,
"Control population growth"?
[ Buzzer ]
The Planeteers win the game!
Mwah!
Let's see what the number
one answer was!
"Move to another planet."
Imagine that.
Ah! Ugh!
I don't care what
the stupid survey says!
I'm going to finish off
Captain Puny!
[ Planeteers shouting ]
Hey! This isn't
in my contract!
Hang on, Cap!
Water!
Fire!
These kids are real winners.
And even though their
world's in big trouble,
I'd bet my planet on them!
'Til next week, folks!
Aah!
[ Alarm clocks buzzing ]
[ Yawns ] I just had
the weirdest nightmare!
Me too, about an
intergalactic gameshow!
Yeah.
And you kissed me.
Uh, definitely
a nightmare.
No, could not be.
[ Greedly sobbing ]
I still can't believe
they beat us!
Go, Planet!
Captain Planet: This is the only
Earth we've got.
So we must all do
our part to protect it.
Recycling is one thing
that everyone can do.
By recycling glass,
aluminum and paper,
less waste goes
into landfills.
And we help conserve Earth's
limited resources.
Wheeler:
And we need to buy recycled.
Only when recycled materials
make it back into our homes
as new products
is the cycle complete.
The power is yours!
Gi: "Captain Planet"
will be right back.
Gi: We now return
to "Captain Planet."
Go, Planet!
Gaia: Nature has its own way
of dealing with pests.
So we have to be careful about
our use of chemical pesticides
because they can
upset the ecosystem
and kill the good bugs
along with the bad.
Even spiders fulfill
an important purpose in nature.
So if you find one in the house,
don't kill it.
You can take it
outside like this.
Or ask your parents to help.
And be careful
about how you use
antibiotics and other medicine
because just like pesticides,
you can kill the good
germs along with the bad.
All: The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
-Wind!
-Water!
Heart!
Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet
