Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 5, Episode 2 - Hollywaste - 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!
[ Screaming ]
Time for a team beam
before it's too late!
Let our powers...
Oh! Ugh.
Gi: That was close.
At least
we survived the crash.
What the...
Avalanche!
[ Screaming ]
Wind!
Director: Cut!
And print it!
[ Cheering ]
[ Excited chatter ]
All right, everybody,
get ready for the next shot.
So, how'd we do?
Fine.
Okay, bring in
the real actors.
I'm finished
with the stunt doubles.
Man: Yes, sir,
Mr. Button.
I don't understand why
we can't just play ourselves.
After all, the film
is about us -- sort of.
We are not Hollywood enough,
Wheeler.
Uh, I do not see me.
I hope I am not so,
how should I say...
Plastic?
Still, we must put
our egos aside.
Kwame's right.
What's important
is that Hollywood
is finally doing
a big-budget environmental film.
Actor: It is always good
when filmmakers show people
the problems
the Earth is facing.
I guess you're right.
I never realized
how films were made
and how many people
it takes.
Or how much trash
is produced.
Man: Bambi, darling,
for you, anything!
Just tell me why we're not
using recycled products
and why there are no recycling
containers on the set.
Well...I...
Before I agreed
to star in this film,
you assured me that the studio
was environmentally conscious.
Hey, no problemo.
It's taken care of.
Trust me.
[ Chuckles ]
Hi. I'm Bambi Blight.
It's an honor to meet
the real Planeteers.
Wow! Bambi,
the honor's all ours.
Right, guys?
Uh, guys?
Uh, yes. Yeah.
Pleased to meet you.
Great.
Everybody's happy?
Oh, let's go see Tom.
He's a genius.
You're gonna love him.
I mean it.
All: Blight?
The resemblance
is too striking.
They must be related.
Who?
What are you talking about?
Bambi Blight,
as in "Dr. Blight."
You think that gorgeous gal's
related to Dr. Do-bad?
No way.
Da way, dodo.
So what?
So what's a Blight doing
on an environmental film?
I don't know.
But I can't believe anything
that cute could be bad.
Trouble? Maybe.
Bad? No.
Hmm. I wonder
what part she is playing.
You. And you're
looking fine, babe.
Bambi, how does it feel
to be one of the biggest stars
in Hollywood?
Well, I'll tell you.
You see, I'm just happy
to be doing a film
to help the environment.
I feel...
Stop your yapping!
MAL: Hubba, hubba!
I'd like to take
a mega-bite out of Bambi.
That overrated ham?
Do I detect a touch
of sibling rivalry?
I've always despised
that doting dingbat!
Really?
Well, I've been a Bambi fan
ever since "Triassic Spark."
[ Whistles ]
She was absolutely
electrifying.
Bambi always got
all the attention,
even though I was smarter
and much better-looking.
[ Laughs ]
In fact, I'm better
at everything than my sister --
even a better actress.
And I'll prove it,
byte-head!
[ Dopey voice ]
Hey, hurry, Zinka.
We gotta call
Admiral Earth.
I don't talk that way.
The guy's doin' me all wrong.
I'd better tell
the director.
No, Wheeler, don't!
I wouldn't do that
if I were you.
Listen, Mr. Button --
uh, Tom --
the accent's all wrong.
Really?
[ Chuckles ]
Somebody get him off my set!
Actually, I was thinking
the same thing.
Fine.
We'll discuss it later.
Now can we
get back to work?!
Did you hear that?
Bambi agreed with me.
Isn't she incredible?
[ Laughs ]
Do not forget, Wheeler --
Your precious Bambi
is a Blight.
Quiet, everybody!
All right,
Let's rehearse the monkey.
[ Monkey chatters ]
Okay, Bambi,
take it from the top.
[ Gasps ] Are you
all right, Screechy?
Fabuloso, babe.
What's going on?
What's this?
One more time, please!
With a little more feeling!
I am doing fine, babe.
Yo! Hold the phone!
Monkeys can't talk.
They can in Hollywood,
okay?
Now, where's the superhero?
I'm ready to rehearse him.
I'm not sure
where to find Mr. Planet.
He wasn't
in his dressing room.
[ Scoffs ] So where is he?
Time is money!
I-It is a little hard
to explain.
You're on,
Kwame, my man.
Let our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
[ Gasps ] Ohhh!
Impressive
special effects.
With a little work in post,
it'll be a real winner.
I always thought
I should have my own movie.
I'm so excited to be working
with Captain Planet.
I-I'll introduce you.
Me and CP are like this.
Bambi, meet the one and only
Captain Planet.
It's a pleasure.
I want to thank you
personally
for donating your services
for this picture.
[ Chuckles ]
Well, anything
to help the environment.
[ Scoffs ]
You call this a costume?!
A superhero without a cape?!
Nobody'll buy it!
No problem.
I'll fix it.
Yes, well,
I've got to run.
I left my script
in the dressing room.
Now report to makeup.
And tell him
to lose the blue skin.
And do something
with that hair!
Sorry. I'll have to check
with my agent first.
See you later,
Planeteers.
The power is yours!
Somebody check
his contract.
Yes, sir.
Okay, everybody,
set up for the next scene.
Look out!
Wind!
What happened?
Calm down, everyone.
Just a little accident.
It was no accident.
The rope was cut.
Who would want
to sabotage the film?
Is everyone all right?
I thought you said you were
going to get your script.
I did.
I mean, it wasn't there.
Is this your script?
[ Chuckles ]
I'd lose my head
if it wasn't attached.
[ Laughs ]
Yeah, me too.
What are they doing?
Scrapping the set piece.
But it's hardly damaged.
Can't it be reused
or recycled?
Too much trouble, babe.
Beside, set designers like
to work with fresh material.
Maybe you should read the script
you're shooting.
A lot of studios are already
environmentally conscious.
It's time this one was, too --
or I'm off the project.
Bambi, sweetheart,
talk to me.
Is she great or what?
[ Scoffs ]
A great actress, maybe.
I think it is time
to have a little chat
with Ms. Blight.
[ Laughs evilly ]
It looks like my plan
to discredit
my saccharine sister
is off to a smashing start.
So, when's
your acting debut, Doctor?
Getting stage fright,
are we?
Can it, disk-head!
When I step
into the limelight,
the name Blight
will go down in infamy!
There she is.
Bambi! Wait up!
Hi. What's going on?
Are you related
to a Dr. Blight?
Yes. She's my sister.
Da! I knew it!
That explains the accident.
You think I had
something to do with that?
[ Crying ]
Thanks a lot.
Nice going, Linka.
We don't get to pick
our family, you know.
What are
all those scripts for?
They're revised
movie scripts.
But we just got
the revised copies this morning.
They were blue.
Those are obsolete.
These are
the revised revisions.
Let's see.
I hope they didn't
mess up our parts.
Sorry. These go to the people
on the A list.
You're on the C list.
But if you want, you can grab
one out of the copy room.
In here.
I hope they haven't
turned me into a geek.
Look at all the paper.
I wonder
how many trees it takes
to make the scripts
for just one movie.
[ All gasp ]
Fire!
[ All coughing ]
There's no water source!
I'll get us out!
Fire!
The door must be fireproof.
[ Grunting ]
It won't open!
We are trapped!
[ Coughing continues ]
[ All coughing ]
[ Grunting ]
Something must be
blocking the door!
I will try to move it.
Earth!
Sounds like you got it!
That's some doorstop.
Now to douse the fire.
Water!
What happened?
Ma-Ti: We're not sure.
Unfortunately, some of your
revised revisions were burned.
Doesn't matter.
The revised revisions
were just re-revised.
I got to start all over.
That's strange.
What is it?
Your ring?
Yet mine is right here.
Hey, wait a minute.
This isn't
a real Planeteer ring.
Let me see.
It's a prop.
Da! It is Bambi's ring!
Come on, guys.
Bambi couldn't have done it.
She's a big movie star.
And a Blight.
Whoa!
I didn't know they had
anything like this in LA.
Hey, you're
in Hollywood, kid,
the land of fake trees
and painted backdrops.
But all this lumber?
Why not just shoot
in a real rainforest?
Yeah,
we considered that,
but the forest they were
gonna use was just clear-cut.
Probably for this shipment.
Besides, Mr. Haywire says
this'll look more real.
What kind of wood is this?
Lauan.
Lauan plywood?
This is from the tropics.
Best stuff to work with.
Yes, but at the rate the
rainforests are being cleared,
soon,
the trees will be gone.
Ironic --
cutting down trees to make
movies about saving them.
Hey, there's Bambi.
[ All gasp ]
Look out!
Wheeler:
Bambi! Look out!
[ Screams ]
Fire!
Wind!
Watch out!
Bambi, what on Earth
were you doing in that crane?
[ Gasps ]
What are you talking about?
I was
in my dressing room.
We all saw you.
But you saw Wheeler
save me.
Why would I risk
my own life?
Linka:
To throw off suspicion.
To throw off suspicion?!
Ha!
Good one, blowhard.
Destroying sis's career
is giving me a real appetite.
So, Dr. Melodrama,
when is your big scene?
I can step into Bambi's shoes
any time.
Her shoes, maybe,
but not her jeans, at the rate
you're scarfing doughnuts.
Agh!
It's time to drop
the final curtain on Bambi.
What -- What do you mean?
[ Voice breaking ] But --
But I would never do anything
to jeopardize this film.
[ Crying ]
Why doesn't anyone
believe me?
I --
Woman: Bambi Blight,
report to your dressing room
for makeup.
[ Crying ]
I'm ready.
Me too!
Ready to stop you
from redeeming the Blight name!
Babs?
That's "Dr. Blight"
to you, sister!
I should have known.
Mother was right.
You've always
been jealous.
Jealous?! Of you?!
Ha!
I just know
Bambi's innocent.
Maybe, Wheeler.
But we won't know
until she gives us some answers.
Ma-Ti and I will do
some snooping around
while you talk to Bambi.
Let's do it.
Bambi.
Just a -- Ahem --
just a minute.
[ Creaking ]
[ Grunting ]
Ahhh!
Come in.
Bambi, we were wondering
if you'd mind
answering
a few questions.
You're darn right
I mind.
I don't have to answer
to you eco-nobodies.
I'm a star!
So get out!
Gee, Bambi.
I-I thought you liked us.
You're supposed to
think that.
I'm an actress, dumbo.
Now get lost!
I did it.
Congratulate me, MAL-ikins.
[ Rip ]
[ Laughs ]
One word,
and you're history.
[ Gulps ]
Perish the thought.
[ Muffled screaming ]
Put a sock in it, sis,
before I shove one
in your mouth!
[ Muffled whimpering ]
Too bad you're gonna be
too tied up
to see Bambi give
her final performance ever.
The topper is,
I'll ruin your career
and destroy Captain Planet
in one take!
Wheeler: Wow.
That's some toxic tanker.
GI: It's even bigger
than the one
Greedly used against Cap
in real life.
All right,
places, everyone.
Okay. Do your thing.
Um, which thing?
The ring number.
We need, uh, Captain Earth.
That's "Planet."
Right.
Just get him on the set.
We're ready to roll.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Or is it "Admiral Earth"?
It's showtime!
So, what's my motivation
in this scene?
Ohh.
The villain, Avarice Porkly,
sets the forest on fire.
Zinka -- uh, Bambi
is about to be barbecued.
You'll fly
to the rescue.
But Porkly blasts you
with toxic goo.
Remember, babe,
we have to get it in one take.
The fire and the fake toxics
will destroy the set.
That ain't all, bucko.
And action!
Stop, Porkly!
Even you would not burn
the last remaining rainforest!
Who hired her?
She stinks!
Don't worry about it,
babe.
We'll get Kath Soucie
to loop her voice later.
This is terrible!
Borscht! Oh, my!
Bozhe moi!
She is terrible.
I hope they get
that Soucie person.
Hang on, Zinka!
[ Inhales deeply ]
[ Groans ]
[ Coughing ]
Toxic waste...
draining my powers!
Whoa! Cap's great!
[ Gasping ]
Help me!
Not a chance,
super sucker.
The whole world's
gonna watch you fry.
I not only switched
the fake goo for real toxics,
I doused the phony forest
with a flammable!
[ Laughs evilly ]
Help him!
He's not acting!
Wow. Great effect.
How'd you do that?
It's not me!
It's Babs!
Together: Babs?
My sister -- Dr. Blight!
Hurry! You've got to save
Captain Planet!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Captain Planet!
Look out!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Ooh! I'm a better director
than I thought!
Are you getting
any of this?!
Uh, isn't this
a rehearsal?
How could you do this?!
Easy, sis.
It comes naturally to me.
Bye-bye, Bambi.
Bambi: I'm not taking the rap
for you this time!
Ha! Want to bet?
Ha!
It's too late!
Captain Has-Been is ashes.
And your career
just went up in smoke with him!
[ Laughs evilly ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Captain Planet's
still in there!
Like I always say,
"If you can't take the heat,
get out of the fire."
Actually,
the old flame did wonders
to rekindle my spirit.
All: Go, Planet!
Hmm.
Tankers away, my boys.
I'd say
this scene's a washout.
[ Cheering ]
Where are Bambi
and Dr. Blight?
Bambi: Right here.
I've got a little present
for Security.
Looks like your film debut
is a big bomb, Babs.
Ugh!
Cut and print it!
That was...incredible!
Get the writers! We need
to re-re-revise the script!
Try using recycled paper
this time.
I...um...
owe you an apology.
It's okay, Linka.
I'm used to taking the heat
for my misguided sister.
Bambi's proved
that one bad Blight
doesn't spoil
the whole crop.
Back off, goons!
Hey, watch it!
It's amazing!
I've crunched some numbers
on this
recycling/reusing concept.
The studio
will save a fortune!
Who'd have believed
helping the environment
would be smart business?
[ Laughs ]
You found out
just in time.
[ Chattering ]
Because I think
Suchi wants a raise.
[ Chattering ]
[ Laughs ] No problemo.
I got it covered.
[ Chattering ]
Pbht!
I guess when it comes to making
films that help the environment,
some stars are willing
for work for peanu--
uh [chuckles] bananas.
All: Go, Planet!
We live in a disposable society,
but our resources
are not endless,
so we have to conserve them.
We must recycle.
But many things can be reused
before they are recycled.
Kwame: Paper lunch bags,
for example.
Gi:
And plastic grocery bags, too.
You can build lots of cool
things out of wood scraps
and other
discarded materials.
Like bird houses or bat houses.
Use your imagination to reuse
things around the house.
Remember...
All: The power is yours!
All: Go, Planet!
Gi: Water is one of Earth's
most precious resources.
Plants, animals, and people
need water to survive.
Many towns and cities
get their water from rivers,
lakes, or underground springs
in the wilderness.
So it is important
to conserve water at home
by doing things like
taking shorter showers...
Or turning off the water
when we brush our teeth
or do the dishes.
That way, there will be
more water to share
with our animal friends.
All:
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 family, you know.
What are
all those scripts for?
They're revised
movie scripts.
But we just got
the revised copies this morning.
They were blue.
Those are obsolete.
These are
the revised revisions.
Let's see.
I hope they didn't
mess up our parts.
Sorry. These go to the people
on the A list.
You're on the C list.
But if you want, you can grab
one out of the copy room.
In here.
I hope they haven't
turned me into a geek.
Look at all the paper.
I wonder
how many trees it takes
to make the scripts
for just one movie.
[ All gasp ]
Fire!
[ All coughing ]
There's no water source!
I'll get us out!
Fire!
The door must be fireproof.
[ Grunting ]
It won't open!
We are trapped!
[ Coughing continues ]
[ All coughing ]
[ Grunting ]
Something must be
blocking the door!
I will try to move it.
Earth!
Sounds like you got it!
That's some doorstop.
Now to douse the fire.
Water!
What happened?
Ma-Ti: We're not sure.
Unfortunately, some of your
revised revisions were burned.
Doesn't matter.
The revised revisions
were just re-revised.
I got to start all over.
That's strange.
What is it?
Your ring?
Yet mine is right here.
Hey, wait a minute.
This isn't
a real Planeteer ring.
Let me see.
It's a prop.
Da! It is Bambi's ring!
Come on, guys.
Bambi couldn't have done it.
She's a big movie star.
And a Blight.
Whoa!
I didn't know they had
anything like this in LA.
Hey, you're
in Hollywood, kid,
the land of fake trees
and painted backdrops.
But all this lumber?
Why not just shoot
in a real rainforest?
Yeah,
we considered that,
but the forest they were
gonna use was just clear-cut.
Probably for this shipment.
Besides, Mr. Haywire says
this'll look more real.
What kind of wood is this?
Lauan.
Lauan plywood?
This is from the tropics.
Best stuff to work with.
Yes, but at the rate the
rainforests are being cleared,
soon,
the trees will be gone.
Ironic --
cutting down trees to make
movies about saving them.
Hey, there's Bambi.
[ All gasp ]
Look out!
Wheeler:
Bambi! Look out!
[ Screams ]
Fire!
Wind!
Watch out!
Bambi, what on Earth
were you doing in that crane?
[ Gasps ]
What are you talking about?
I was
in my dressing room.
We all saw you.
But you saw Wheeler
save me.
Why would I risk
my own life?
Linka:
To throw off suspicion.
To throw off suspicion?!
Ha!
Good one, blowhard.
Destroying sis's career
is giving me a real appetite.
So, Dr. Melodrama,
when is your big scene?
I can step into Bambi's shoes
any time.
Her shoes, maybe,
but not her jeans, at the rate
you're scarfing doughnuts.
Agh!
It's time to drop
the final curtain on Bambi.
What -- What do you mean?
[ Voice breaking ] But --
But I would never do anything
to jeopardize this film.
[ Crying ]
Why doesn't anyone
believe me?
I --
Woman: Bambi Blight,
report to your dressing room
for makeup.
[ Crying ]
I'm ready.
Me too!
Ready to stop you
from redeeming the Blight name!
Babs?
That's "Dr. Blight"
to you, sister!
I should have known.
Mother was right.
You've always
been jealous.
Jealous?! Of you?!
Ha!
I just know
Bambi's innocent.
Maybe, Wheeler.
But we won't know
until she gives us some answers.
Ma-Ti and I will do
some snooping around
while you talk to Bambi.
Let's do it.
Bambi.
Just a -- Ahem --
just a minute.
[ Creaking ]
[ Grunting ]
Ahhh!
Come in.
Bambi, we were wondering
if you'd mind
answering
a few questions.
You're darn right
I mind.
I don't have to answer
to you eco-nobodies.
I'm a star!
So get out!
Gee, Bambi.
I-I thought you liked us.
You're supposed to
think that.
I'm an actress, dumbo.
Now get lost!
I did it.
Congratulate me, MAL-ikins.
[ Rip ]
[ Laughs ]
One word,
and you're history.
[ Gulps ]
Perish the thought.
[ Muffled screaming ]
Put a sock in it, sis,
before I shove one
in your mouth!
[ Muffled whimpering ]
Too bad you're gonna be
too tied up
to see Bambi give
her final performance ever.
The topper is,
I'll ruin your career
and destroy Captain Planet
in one take!
Wheeler: Wow.
That's some toxic tanker.
GI: It's even bigger
than the one
Greedly used against Cap
in real life.
All right,
places, everyone.
Okay. Do your thing.
Um, which thing?
The ring number.
We need, uh, Captain Earth.
That's "Planet."
Right.
Just get him on the set.
We're ready to roll.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Or is it "Admiral Earth"?
It's showtime!
So, what's my motivation
in this scene?
Ohh.
The villain, Avarice Porkly,
sets the forest on fire.
Zinka -- uh, Bambi
is about to be barbecued.
You'll fly
to the rescue.
But Porkly blasts you
with toxic goo.
Remember, babe,
we have to get it in one take.
The fire and the fake toxics
will destroy the set.
That ain't all, bucko.
And action!
Stop, Porkly!
Even you would not burn
the last remaining rainforest!
Who hired her?
She stinks!
Don't worry about it,
babe.
We'll get Kath Soucie
to loop her voice later.
This is terrible!
Borscht! Oh, my!
Bozhe moi!
She is terrible.
I hope they get
that Soucie person.
Hang on, Zinka!
[ Inhales deeply ]
[ Groans ]
[ Coughing ]
Toxic waste...
draining my powers!
Whoa! Cap's great!
[ Gasping ]
Help me!
Not a chance,
super sucker.
The whole world's
gonna watch you fry.
I not only switched
the fake goo for real toxics,
I doused the phony forest
with a flammable!
[ Laughs evilly ]
Help him!
He's not acting!
Wow. Great effect.
How'd you do that?
It's not me!
It's Babs!
Together: Babs?
My sister -- Dr. Blight!
Hurry! You've got to save
Captain Planet!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Captain Planet!
Look out!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Ooh! I'm a better director
than I thought!
Are you getting
any of this?!
Uh, isn't this
a rehearsal?
How could you do this?!
Easy, sis.
It comes naturally to me.
Bye-bye, Bambi.
Bambi: I'm not taking the rap
for you this time!
Ha! Want to bet?
Ha!
It's too late!
Captain Has-Been is ashes.
And your career
just went up in smoke with him!
[ Laughs evilly ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Captain Planet's
still in there!
Like I always say,
"If you can't take the heat,
get out of the fire."
Actually,
the old flame did wonders
to rekindle my spirit.
All: Go, Planet!
Hmm.
Tankers away, my boys.
I'd say
this scene's a washout.
[ Cheering ]
Where are Bambi
and Dr. Blight?
Bambi: Right here.
I've got a little present
for Security.
Looks like your film debut
is a big bomb, Babs.
Ugh!
Cut and print it!
That was...incredible!
Get the writers! We need
to re-re-revise the script!
Try using recycled paper
this time.
I...um...
owe you an apology.
It's okay, Linka.
I'm used to taking the heat
for my misguided sister.
Bambi's proved
that one bad Blight
doesn't spoil
the whole crop.
Back off, goons!
Hey, watch it!
It's amazing!
I've crunched some numbers
on this
recycling/reusing concept.
The studio
will save a fortune!
Who'd have believed
helping the environment
would be smart business?
[ Laughs ]
You found out
just in time.
[ Chattering ]
Because I think
Suchi wants a raise.
[ Chattering ]
[ Laughs ] No problemo.
I got it covered.
[ Chattering ]
Pbht!
I guess when it comes to making
films that help the environment,
some stars are willing
for work for peanu--
uh [chuckles] bananas.
All: Go, Planet!
We live in a disposable society,
but our resources
are not endless,
so we have to conserve them.
We must recycle.
But many things can be reused
before they are recycled.
Kwame: Paper lunch bags,
for example.
Gi:
And plastic grocery bags, too.
You can build lots of cool
things out of wood scraps
and other
discarded materials.
Like bird houses or bat houses.
Use your imagination to reuse
things around the house.
Remember...
All: The power is yours!
All: Go, Planet!
Gi: Water is one of Earth's
most precious resources.
Plants, animals, and people
need water to survive.
Many towns and cities
get their water from rivers,
lakes, or underground springs
in the wilderness.
So it is important
to conserve water at home
by doing things like
taking shorter showers...
Or turning off the water
when we brush our teeth
or do the dishes.
That way, there will be
more water to share
with our animal friends.
All:
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
