Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 4, Episode 18 - High Steaks - full transcript
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.
[ 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!
Captain Planet:
The power is yours!
Aah! Whoa!
Ugh!
I'm sorry, teach.
Tinhorn!
[ Whooping ]
Make my day!
Yee-ha-ha!
You will never graduate
and get your spurs.
You do not --
Man: Imoto, get out here!
If you fall off again,
you are finished!
Yes, sir!
Whoa!
What's up,
Mr. Plunder-San?
It's those eco-punchers
over at Paradise Ranch.
They're bringing in
the last of their herd.
And if they get
the cattle to market,
the other outfits
might buy
into their sustainable
ranching rap.
So what's the big deal,
boss man?
If sustainable
ranching catches on,
it'll cut into my profits,
not to mention threaten
my government subsidies.
Don't worry.
When Imoto is finished,
that ranch will be a far cry
from paradise.
Get along! Hyah!
Come on, pup,
keep a-movin'.
All right!
Time to take 'em in!
Hyah-ha!
[ Whooping ]
The herd's lookin'
real good, Dusty.
Yep. Can't disagree,
Big Ed.
Once we complete
the cattle drive,
it'll prove to
the other ranchers
that Paradise's environmentally
sound methods do work.
Well, we ain't
home free yet.
Giddyup!
Wheeler:
I still don't understand
why we can't play
where we always do.
Wheeler! We need to give
the land a rest.
If we keep trampling
the same spot,
it will eventually die.
Then, we will have
to move our net anyway.
Got it?
Ugh.
Oof.
[ Laughter ]
Very funny.
Now, let's stop clowning
and start playing.
Gaia: Sorry to break up
your game, Planeteers.
But I need you
in the Crystal Chamber.
What's wrong, Gaia?
Gaia?
It must be very important!
Come on!
Gaia, what is
the eco-emergency this time?
Actually, I have some
good news for a change.
Oh! That's great!
So tell us, Gaia.
A major sustainable
ranching effort is
on the verge of success.
What do you mean
by sustainable ranching?
Gaia:
It's like this, Wheeler.
Overgrazing cattle
can turn fragile land
into dust bowls.
Sustainable ranching
doesn't damage
the land as much.
How do you stop cows
from eating?
Portable fences are used
to rotate grazing areas.
That gives the land
time to recover.
Just like what we were doing
with our volleyball court.
Oh, right.
Ed Baker, the owner
of Paradise Ranch,
is proving it doesn't have
to be jobs versus environment.
He's protecting both.
This is good news.
Yeah. So, uh, now can
we get back to our game?
Sure, if you'd
rather play ball
than ride
the open range.
You mean we get to go
to Paradise Ranch?
Yes, but not just
for horsing around.
Not everyone's happy
with the changes.
I have a feeling
there may be trouble.
We are the Planeteers
for the job, Gaia.
Yee-haw!
Yeah, that's right.
[ Wolves howling ]
Time to round 'em up
and run 'em off.
Ah!
[ All shouting ]
Go ahead and tempt me.
Wow, buffalo,
just like in the movies.
Maybe,
but the movies rarely show
how close the North American
buffalo came to extinction.
Now some people
think that buffalo
are the future of ranching.
Buffalo burgers?
Unlike cattle,
buffalo are natural roamers.
They do not usually destroy
the land the way cattle do.
Gi: There it is, Paradise!
[ Neighing ]
What in the lizard's
gullet is that?
Wow! Look at this place!
Howdy, partner!
Reckon you might know
where we find Big Ed?
Hmph.
City slickers.
[ Coughs ]
Thanks.
[ Growls ]
[ Horse neighs ]
It's your own fault, Ed,
for stirrin' things up.
Yeah, and I don't want
any part of it.
Look, I wouldn't ask,
but my ranch hands
have disappeared,
and I can't do the cattle
drive without 'em.
I told you this sustainable
ranchin' was trouble.
Now, your hands probably
realized it, too.
That's why they took off.
The old ways work fine.
I'm just trying
to preserve the land.
Well, that's a luxury
I can't afford.
I'm already using public land
to graze my herd.
I'm not trying to take
away your subsidies.
Besides, if the ranches
are run more sustainably,
we won't need
government help.
And unless you
preserve the land,
no one will be
in business much longer.
What do kids know
about cattle ranching?
They may not be
ranchers, Gib,
but these kids know
a whole lot about
what's good for the land.
Well, then let them
help you.
Look, Ed,
I'd help if I could.
But I just can't
spare the men.
Oh!
You Big Ed Baker?
Yes.
I'm from
the Bottom Line Ranch.
We heard you need hands
for your cattle drive.
We can offer
three men and me.
That's mighty
neighborly of you.
We're planning
to drive 'em out at dawn.
We'll be ready.
Why don't you just truck
the herd to market?
Well, most ranchers do.
But a cattle drive is less
stressful for the animals,
so they're less
likely to get sick.
Good news, Dusty.
The Bottom Line Ranch
is lending us
four hands.
Ain't enough
to drive the herd.
I guess you're right.
Don't forget about us!
-Yeah! Right! Yeah!
-Thanks!
Looks like now we got
all the ranch hands
we need, eh, Dusty?
Hmph. Greenhorns, worse
than no help at all.
You're welcome.
Plunder: Planeteers!
What are those
eco-nuisances doing here?
Don't know,
Mr. Plunder-San,
but Imoto will
take care of them.
Hmm.
Maybe I can get rid
of two sets of planet pains
with one delicious blow.
**
Good luck!
Hyah!
It is very exciting!
But I know nothing
about being a cowgirl.
Just stick close, babe,
and let a real cowboy
show you the ropes.
Stop jawin' and goofin' off
or you'll spook the cattle.
I guess you are what they call
a hog-tied cowpokie?
[ Cows lowing ]
[ Whooping ]
It's time
to liven things up.
-Hyah! Hyah!
-Get 'em.
-Come on!
-[ Whistling ]
-Get 'em!
-Come on!
Y'all keep
the herd movin'.
I gotta round up
some strays.
Hyah!
[ Neighing ]
Whoa!
Stop!
Oh, no! Heart!
It's no use.
They're too frightened.
Aah!
Help!
We'll try
and stop them!
Earth!
I'll stop 'em.
Yah!
Hang on, Wheeler!
Wind!
Whoa!
Thanks, everybody.
That was not fun.
And no accident either.
These reins
have been cut.
Bozhe moi! Who would
do such a thing?
What'd you fool kids
do to spook the team?
We didn't do anything!
Someone cut these reins.
We think --
I'm gonna keep an eye
on that guy.
Imoto: You finish up.
I'm going to drive
the herd over here
for a last drink on me.
If those kids get
in the way again,
you know what to do.
Wheeler:
Hey, what are you doing?
Opening the gate so the cattle
can reach the stream.
What do you have these
things way out here for?
It's part of the portable
fencing system
Big Ed's been using
to keep the cattle
from overgrazing.
Smart.
[ Scoffs ]
[ Whooping ]
This water looks
very strange.
Keep the herd back!
The water's bad!
Whoa!
Hyah!
-Hyah!
-Hyah!
Water!
Heart!
What could have
poisoned the stream?
Or who?
Oh, no, you don't.
We want answers.
Who is sabotaging this drive?
-Why don't you ask him?
-Gi! Ma-Ti!
Imoto:
Don't try anything
or I'll be forced
to run for it.
And that would be a big drag
for your friends here.
-I'll show that --
-No, Wheeler, it is too risky.
So you two
are in cahoots?
Let the young'uns go,
and I'll do whatever you say.
You'll do
what I say anyway.
Take care of them.
I'll handle these two.
-Aah!
-Aah!
Hold it!
Aah!
Who's next?
[ Shouting ]
Whoa!
Ugh.
Hey! Wait for me!
-Let's get 'em! Yah!
-No!
We best tend
to the cattle.
Well, we rounded up
all the strays.
Good 'cause I'm starved.
Bad news, Wheeler.
All the food is gone!
What?
Imoto and his gang
must've high-tailed with it.
Those varmints
obviously don't want us
to finish this drive.
I reckon you thought I was
behind all the trouble.
Yeah, well, sorry.
Anyway, looks like
those rustlers
got what they wanted.
There's no way we can
finish the drive now.
You kids may as well
clear out before
there's any more
trouble.
-No way.
-We wouldn't do that.
We will finish the drive
and prove Paradise Ranch works.
Oh, yeah?
[ Whooping ]
[ Whooping ]
[ Whooping ]
Hyah!
Come on, you guys!
Yip! Yip! Hyah!
Come on, boy.
Since we can't fish
like an eagle,
I'm sure glad Dusty
always travels
with a saddlebag
full of beans.
When the beans run out,
we can always eat
rattlesnake.
Thanks.
I'll pass.
Snake burgers?
Yuck!
Mighty nice to see
the wild critters comin' back.
For a spell there, I thought
they'd gone for good.
Linka:
What do you mean, Dusty?
Before Big Ed started
this ecological stuff,
the land and river
were almost dead.
It's hard
to notice at first.
It happened kind
of gradual-like.
But now I can see
the land recovering.
You better be careful.
You're beginning to sound
like an environmentalist.
Look, most cattlemen
love the land
as much as Big Ed.
But economic pressures
force 'em
into making
tough decisions.
Ugh.
Keep tryin'.
You'll get the hang of it.
[ Yawns ]
I'll stand guard tonight.
Guard for what?
I reckon those vermin
ain't done with us yet.
Haven't you fools destroyed
the Paradise herd yet?
Sorry, Mr. Plunder-San.
But the kids...
No excuses!
After tomorrow,
it'll be too late.
That's where
we'll stop them.
A little 100-foot drop should
turn those eco-wranglers
and their herd
into cow patties.
[ Laughs ]
Only one more mountain pass,
then it's downhill all the way.
What in tarnation?
That darn fool's
gonna spook the herd!
Adiós eco-geekos!
Dusty:
Hyah! Hyah! Hold it!
Hyah! [ Whistles ]
Hyah! Yee-haw!
Fire!
Aah!
Hold on, Dusty!
Dusty!
You better hurry if
you're plannin' to save me.
I see your point.
Just hang
in there, Dusty.
I'm not going anywhere.
Grab the rope!
Come on, girl. Come on.
Let's bring him up.
Kwame: All right!
You're safe.
Out of the frying pan...
into the fire.
[ Gasps ]
Plunder's aimed them
right at us.
We need Cap, pronto.
How's a hat gonna help?
You will see.
Let our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Uh-oh! I better put my friend
on this problem.
What these little doggies
need is heart.
Howdy, partner-teers!
Well, shoot a bug.
Who are you?
Planet's the name.
Roping's my game.
[ Laughs ] Yee-haw!
It's Captain
Pain-in-the-pocket!
Let's get out of here!
Stop right there,
you lootin', shootin',
slippery son of a sidewinder!
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Now, this is what I call
a real roundup!
You're goin' down, Plunder.
Do something!
Ah, bonsai!
Now, now,
don't be bullheaded.
Time to run
you outlaws in.
Later, Planeteers.
I've got to deliver
my Plunder to the pokey.
[ Whistles ]
Attaboy, Buck!
Come on, partners.
We got a herd to drive.
Hyah!
Gi: Hyah! Come on!
Come on!
I'd have never believed it,
but you kids proved
to be real cowhands.
And you, Dusty,
have proved to be
a real environmentalist.
Smile when you say
that, partner.
-Come on!
-Move 'em out!
Go, Planet!
Sustainable industries
are our best hope
for the future.
Wheeler: Overgrazing can
destroy the land.
Linka: But sustainable ranching
techniques help preserve it.
Clear-cutting old-growth
forests destroys
an irreplaceable
resource.
But selective logging
preserves the environment
and future jobs.
Gaia: So, whether it's fishing,
farming and other big businesses
or simply recycling
in your home,
we must all do our part.
Together: The power is yours!
Go, Planet!
Gaia: Birds are a vital part
of our ecosystem.
But many birds face extinction
because of thoughtless
development.
Migratory birds
and many native species
cannot survive
without wetlands.
It is up to us
to protect them.
Write your local
and national leaders.
Ask them to protect
precious wetlands.
Ask your parents
and friends to write, too.
Your letters do make
a difference.
Together: 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!

What in tarnation?
That darn fool's
gonna spook the herd!
Adiós eco-geekos!
Dusty:
Hyah! Hyah! Hold it!
Hyah! [ Whistles ]
Hyah! Yee-haw!
Fire!
Aah!
Hold on, Dusty!
Dusty!
You better hurry if
you're plannin' to save me.
I see your point.
Just hang
in there, Dusty.
I'm not going anywhere.
Grab the rope!
Come on, girl. Come on.
Let's bring him up.
Kwame: All right!
You're safe.
Out of the frying pan...
into the fire.
[ Gasps ]
Plunder's aimed them
right at us.
We need Cap, pronto.
How's a hat gonna help?
You will see.
Let our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Uh-oh! I better put my friend
on this problem.
What these little doggies
need is heart.
Howdy, partner-teers!
Well, shoot a bug.
Who are you?
Planet's the name.
Roping's my game.
[ Laughs ] Yee-haw!
It's Captain
Pain-in-the-pocket!
Let's get out of here!
Stop right there,
you lootin', shootin',
slippery son of a sidewinder!
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Now, this is what I call
a real roundup!
You're goin' down, Plunder.
Do something!
Ah, bonsai!
Now, now,
don't be bullheaded.
Time to run
you outlaws in.
Later, Planeteers.
I've got to deliver
my Plunder to the pokey.
[ Whistles ]
Attaboy, Buck!
Come on, partners.
We got a herd to drive.
Hyah!
Gi: Hyah! Come on!
Come on!
I'd have never believed it,
but you kids proved
to be real cowhands.
And you, Dusty,
have proved to be
a real environmentalist.
Smile when you say
that, partner.
-Come on!
-Move 'em out!
Go, Planet!
Sustainable industries
are our best hope
for the future.
Wheeler: Overgrazing can
destroy the land.
Linka: But sustainable ranching
techniques help preserve it.
Clear-cutting old-growth
forests destroys
an irreplaceable
resource.
But selective logging
preserves the environment
and future jobs.
Gaia: So, whether it's fishing,
farming and other big businesses
or simply recycling
in your home,
we must all do our part.
Together: The power is yours!
Go, Planet!
Gaia: Birds are a vital part
of our ecosystem.
But many birds face extinction
because of thoughtless
development.
Migratory birds
and many native species
cannot survive
without wetlands.
It is up to us
to protect them.
Write your local
and national leaders.
Ask them to protect
precious wetlands.
Ask your parents
and friends to write, too.
Your letters do make
a difference.
Together: The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
