Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 4, Episode 2 - A Mine Is a Terrible Thing to Waste: Part 2 - 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.
[ 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!
The power is yours!
Captain Planet:
Last time, the Planeteers
went off to deal with Sly Sludge
while I set my sights on
cleaning up a waste spill
at sea.
But when a toxic tide
revived Captain Pollution,
I found myself
in a touchy situation.
I'm back!
**
Ugh!
Pbht!
Now, this is what I call
a rapid comeback!
Now to take care of
that pungent polluter!
**
Hurry it up!
So when do we get paid
for this stuff?
Patience, Mr. Sludge.
The client will be here soon
to reward us
for our ecological efforts.
[ Laughs ]
[ Groans ]
That was a real back-breaker!
But we've dumped it all!
Good.
Then you're fired again.
Get going!
But -- but -- but how am I
supposed to survive out there?
Hey,
you could take my car.
[ Laughs ]
This is turning out to be
even more profitable
than I dreamed.
We need a rope
or something!
This may work.
Yeah, but how are we
gonna reach the vent?
[ Suchi chitters ]
Suchi can do it!
Go, Suchi.
[ Suchi chitters ]
All right, come on!
Linka: Keep going!
[ Gasps ] Look out!
Ugh!
[ Explosion ]
[ All scream ]
I cannot see
where we are going.
Hang on.
I got a flashlight.
Earth!
Ah, I keep forgetting
we do not have
our powers.
Looks like there's
another chamber up here.
Oh, great.
The battery's dying.
We'd better find a piece of wood
or something to use as a torch.
Oh, yeah, right, Gi.
See any trees down here?
Easy, Wheeler.
If there is any wood around,
I will find it.
When I was young,
my mother fell ill,
and searching for firewood
became my job.
Over the years, the trees around
my village began to disappear.
Piece by piece,
they were stripped away.
Wood became as precious
as gold,
and no one thought
to plant new trees.
Each day, I was forced
to travel farther and farther
to find firewood.
One afternoon, I spotted
a small herd of elephants.
I knew they would eventually
lead me to trees.
I followed
the magnificent beasts for hours
until, finally, trees.
But before the elephants
could take cover
in that tiny batch of forest,
poachers opened fire.
[ Gunshots ]
That awful sight
burned itself into my mind.
I realized that people
are not the only ones
who need trees to survive.
Animals need them for food
and protection, too.
That is why I believe
so strongly in planting trees.
Hey! How about that?
All right.
You can still find firewood!
I have not lost my touch.
Fire!
[ Chuckles ]
Neither have I.
Look! Smoke!
Hit it!
Let us hope
this is the way out.
If not, we're shafted.
Captain Pollution:
[ Gasps ] Pbht!
Ahh! [ Laughs ]
* Oh, give me a home
* Where the wastewater burns
* And the slime
and the scum both decay *
* Where never is heard
* The chirp of a bird
* And you can't see
the sky for days *
[ Laughs ]
Ahh!
How's that for tree shooting?
This place is still
a polluted paradise.
And this grody puke
does wonders for my complexion.
Come on in, Planet!
The toxicity is just right!
Uh, no thanks,
my acidic amigo.
Well, if you're
too chicken to play,
you bet your life,
then you'll just have to watch
from the cheap seats!
Ugh!
Ohh!
[ Laughs ] I just love
adding injury to insult.
You know what I mean?
[ Coughs ]
Oh, this is gonna make
a great summer home,
but, for now, I'm off to Alaska
to chill out!
[ Laughs ]
Hey, greenie weenie,
I'm taking a shortcut.
You're welcome to follow...
if you dare!
No thanks, Pollution.
I'll make my own
travel arrangements.
[ Laughing ]
Wheeler, are we clear
of the smoke yet?
I don't think -- Ow!
My ankle.
I can't walk on it.
You have to try!
Ugh! I-I can't.
Just go.
We're not leaving you!
You have no choice!
Leave me alone!
Listen, don't argue with me
on this one.
Please.
Let me tell you a story.
[ Giggles ] Come on, Tisa!
I'll race you!
[ Dolphin chirping ]
[ Laughs ]
**
You'll have to
leave immediately.
Your grants
have been revoked.
What?
Sternkill Industries
has bought up the coast.
They're putting in a smelter
here.
But our research!
There's nothing
I can do.
No! I can't leave Tisa!
Please!
[ Dolphin chirping ]
I'm sorry, Gi.
We have no choice.
Tisa, I'll be back!
I promise!
[ Dolphin whines ]
All I thought about
was getting back to her.
I saved every penny
of my allowance
and never stopped
planning.
Took me nearly a year,
but I finally made it.
[ Seagull cries ]
There was something eerie
about the beach.
Tisa! Tisa!
Then I saw her.
No! No!
What have they done to you?
[ Dolphin cries ]
As I held her, I knew
I would devote myself
to protecting the seas
and all their precious life.
I had to abandon one friend.
It's not going to happen again.
Do not worry, Gi.
You will not lose this one.
Sorry I lost it before.
It's really been a long time
since I had to lean on anyone.
I remember when I was a kid
back in Brooklyn.
I was pretty much
on my own.
Come on, tough guy!
Pay up! You owe me!
Man: What are you doin'
down there?
Ugh!
Later, loser!
[ Groans ]
I thought I told you
to get me a bottle.
I tried, Dad,
but...
I'm tired
of your excuses!
Try harder,
or don't come back,
you no good loser!
Who wants to come back
to this dump?
[ Can clatters ]
Wheeler: I wandered the streets
for hours,
until I didn't know
where I was.
Hey, punk,
don't you know
it's dangerous
in the park at night?
[ Laughter ]
Hey, what are you doin'?
Hey, look out!
What's goin' on?
Let's get out of here!
Come on! Let's go!
Hey you okay, kid?
Yeah, thanks.
Man, that was incredible!
Right out of "Robin Hood"
or something!
Where did you guys come from?
Hey, we live
in the park.
Where?
Right up there,
in the trees.
Get outta here.
Seriously!
We built our homes
in the trees.
Yeah. And we do it
without hammering a single nail
into the trunks.
So, uh, what are you doin'
out here all alone?
I, uh, don't have
anywhere else to go.
Then stay with us, kid.
If you're not afraid
of heights, that is.
It turned my whole life
around,
finding people who believed
I was worth something.
I hate to interrupt, but...
[ Suchi chitters ]
Gi: Hang on, Wheeler!
We're getting out of here!
**
[ Spits ]
Yuck!
This place looks
so revoltingly clean,
I think I'm gonna ralph.
Oh, good thing there's still
plenty of cruddy crude
on the bottom from that
11-million gallon spill!
[ Laughs ]
But not nearly enough!
Bomb's away!
[ Grunting ]
Captain Planet:
Pollution on the rocks.
Bottom's up.
This will keep you
out of trouble for a while.
This place leaves me cold.
I can't handle much more
of this clean living!
You're all washed up,
Pollution!
Oh, yeah?
Aah!
Ugh!
This game
isn't over yet!
Ah, so much pollution,
so little time.
Now to catch up
with my toxic twin!
Gi: Which way?
Most of these tunnels
probably lead
deeper into the mine.
Let's go that way!
It angles up!
No!
That is a dead end.
Since when did you become
the mine expert?
I grew up in a mining town,
Yankee.
Yeah? Well,
I grew up in New York,
but that doesn't make me
a stockbroker.
My family
worked in the mine.
It shaped my whole life.
My father was foreman.
[ Birds chirping ]
Clear out!
We hit gas!
Everybody out!
[ Bell ringing ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
[ Russian accent ]
This will break Linka's heart.
[ Birds chirping ]
I helped my grandmother
raise canaries.
My father used them in the mine
to detect gas.
I loved birds.
And my grandmother
taught me all about them.
My greatest joy came
from the bird songs.
I learned to mimic their sounds
and use them in my music.
**
Linka, I am sorry.
No!
It is not fair!
[ Crying ]
[ Russian accent ] The birds
are not dying in vain, Linka.
Because of their sensitivity
to gas,
they are able to save
many human lives.
[ Sniffles ]
But why must it
be this way?
It still hurts me
when birds suffer.
And now it is so much greater
than in the mines.
Birds around the world
are dying
and showing us how polluted
our environment has become.
That is why
I feel so strongly
that we owe animals
a great debt.
Strange how disasters can
bring people closer together.
People will always
have differences,
but, in our hearts,
we are all the same.
Quick, Linka!
Which way?
That way!
But the smoke's
headed that way!
Precisely!
Air must be getting out
through the end of that tunnel!
All right! Fresh air,
here we come!
Aah!
Great! Looks like our luck's
taken a nosedive.
Not yet.
As you Yankees say,
"There is a light
at the end of the tunnel."
[ All cheer ]
**
[ Inhales sharply ]
What a relief!
Down!
Plunder's men may be nearby.
[ Tires screech ]
Keep your yapper shut.
I'll do the talking.
**
So did you
bring the money?
Who is this, Plunder?
Temporary help.
Yeah, and its payday.
Hey! Mr. Plunger!
We finished hiding
the barrels for youse!
Couple of 'em
busted open!
They're kinda flimsy.
Now, look!
I paid you top dollar
to ensure safe disposal.
I cannot afford
bad press!
Hey!
You can't do that!
Watch me!
Uh, don't be hasty.
I'm sure something
can be arranged.
Yeah,
like a padded cell.
So we've come full circle.
The game is up!
And I win!
[ Laughs ]
Aah! Ugh!
[ Groans, coughs ]
Planeteers.
Planeteers.
Captain Planet
is in trouble!
Then we're out of here!
You're making
a big mistake.
The feds'll
hear about this.
[ Laughs ]
No one will take the word
of those eco-geeks
over a tycoon like me.
I'm no eco-geek,
but I'd be happy to testify
against my ex-bosses.
Water!
Bring the witness!
Curse those
meddling planet pests.
**
Stop squirming.
Wheeler: Hey, that feels
pretty good, babe.
It is much easier
treating a bird.
No lip.
Where to, Ma-Ti?
Commander Clash's island,
and hurry!
**
[ Groans ]
This pollution problem
is definitely expanding.
I love kicking a good man
when he's down.
[ Laughs ]
Ugh!
[ Coughs ]
Oh, no!
It is Captain Pollution!
He is huge!
Monstrous!
Looks like we will
only have one shot
at saving Captain Planet.
Can you handle
the controls?
Piece of cake.
No grandstanding?
Trust me.
They're in over their heads,
just like
their precious Planet!
[ Gurgling ]
Everyone
knows their jobs?
Right!
Ready!
All: Ready!
**
Aw, how touching.
[ Chuckles ]
The eco-freaks
to the rescue.
But who's gonna rescue them?
[ Laughing evilly ]
No! Stop!
Got him!
Wheeler,
take her up.
Hang on, everybody!
**
[ Groans, coughs ]
Thanks for
the helping hand!
Whoa!
No fair, dudes!
He's mine!
Give him back!
[ Coughing ]
Hurry, Ma-Ti!
Discharge the solar panels.
It will recharge Captain Planet
and keep Pollution at bay.
Time to light out of here!
Final jeopardy, Pollution.
What is, give it
your best shot?
Aah!
[ Rumbling ]
A natural lava vat
to clean up your act,
not to mention
your complexion.
[ Coughs ]
You tricked me!
My polluting powers,
they're weakening!
[ Coughing ]
You'll never
overcome Pollution...
Looks like your game show's
been cancelled.
I hope there aren't
any reruns.
That should keep the problem
under wraps!
Hey, great job, Planeteers.
Amazing what people can do
when they work together.
Can't argue with that.
The power is yours!
Well, my friends,
where to now?
I know exactly
what we should do.
All: What?
Whatever the team wants.
**
Go, Planet!
Gi: Careless development
has destroyed
much of Louisiana
black bear's home,
and only a few are left.
Kwame: But in some countries,
bear organs and paws
are still in great demand.
We should pass laws to make
trading in bear parts illegal.
We should protect all animals
whose habitats are threatened.
Kids, write your government
representatives.
Your letters
can save teddy bears
and endangered animals
around the world.
The power is yours!
Gi: The best thing you can do
to help our environment
is get involved.
Join an environmental group
or team up with friends
to start your own projects.
Clean up a park
or a beach.
Organize a recycling program
at school
or in your neighborhood.
Or plant trees and remember
to take care of them.
It's all part of making
our planet healthy again.
We must all work together
to protect the animals, trees,
oceans, and air.
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!
Our world is in peril.

I'm no eco-geek,
but I'd be happy to testify
against my ex-bosses.
Water!
Bring the witness!
Curse those
meddling planet pests.
**
Stop squirming.
Wheeler: Hey, that feels
pretty good, babe.
It is much easier
treating a bird.
No lip.
Where to, Ma-Ti?
Commander Clash's island,
and hurry!
**
[ Groans ]
This pollution problem
is definitely expanding.
I love kicking a good man
when he's down.
[ Laughs ]
Ugh!
[ Coughs ]
Oh, no!
It is Captain Pollution!
He is huge!
Monstrous!
Looks like we will
only have one shot
at saving Captain Planet.
Can you handle
the controls?
Piece of cake.
No grandstanding?
Trust me.
They're in over their heads,
just like
their precious Planet!
[ Gurgling ]
Everyone
knows their jobs?
Right!
Ready!
All: Ready!
**
Aw, how touching.
[ Chuckles ]
The eco-freaks
to the rescue.
But who's gonna rescue them?
[ Laughing evilly ]
No! Stop!
Got him!
Wheeler,
take her up.
Hang on, everybody!
**
[ Groans, coughs ]
Thanks for
the helping hand!
Whoa!
No fair, dudes!
He's mine!
Give him back!
[ Coughing ]
Hurry, Ma-Ti!
Discharge the solar panels.
It will recharge Captain Planet
and keep Pollution at bay.
Time to light out of here!
Final jeopardy, Pollution.
What is, give it
your best shot?
Aah!
[ Rumbling ]
A natural lava vat
to clean up your act,
not to mention
your complexion.
[ Coughs ]
You tricked me!
My polluting powers,
they're weakening!
[ Coughing ]
You'll never
overcome Pollution...
Looks like your game show's
been cancelled.
I hope there aren't
any reruns.
That should keep the problem
under wraps!
Hey, great job, Planeteers.
Amazing what people can do
when they work together.
Can't argue with that.
The power is yours!
Well, my friends,
where to now?
I know exactly
what we should do.
All: What?
Whatever the team wants.

Go, Planet!
Gi: Careless development
has destroyed
much of Louisiana
black bear's home,
and only a few are left.
Kwame: But in some countries,
bear organs and paws
are still in great demand.
We should pass laws to make
trading in bear parts illegal.
We should protect all animals
whose habitats are threatened.
Kids, write your government
representatives.
Your letters
can save teddy bears
and endangered animals
around the world.
The power is yours!
Gi: The best thing you can do
to help our environment
is get involved.
Join an environmental group
or team up with friends
to start your own projects.
Clean up a park
or a beach.
Organize a recycling program
at school
or in your neighborhood.
Or plant trees and remember
to take care of them.
It's all part of making
our planet healthy again.
We must all work together
to protect the animals, trees,
oceans, and air.
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
