Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 5, Episode 3 - The Ghost of Porkaloin Past - 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!

[ Munching, slurping ]

**

Past the lips
and over the gums,

look out, pork belly,
here it comes!

This is de-e-e-licious,
boss!

Yep! Yep!

Spaghetti
a La Porkaloin --

the way grandpappy
used to make it.



I haven't seen the old boar
since I was a piglet.

[ Munching ]

[ Knock on door ]

Get the door, Rigger.

I hate being interrupted
when I'm eating!

But, boss,
you're always eating.

Telegram for
Mr. Greasley!

That's Greedly!

I'll take it.

Aah!

Give me that!

Well, looky here.

Old Grandpappy Porkaloin

finally went to
the big pigsty in the sky,

and I've inherited
his entire desert estate!

We're rich!
[ Laughs ]

I'm rich!

Now, come on.
Let's get going.

[ Thunder crashes ]

[ Animal howling ]

A-A-A-Are you sure this is it,
b-boss?

[ Grunting ]

Home,
sweet [snorts] home!

Get the bags, Rigger!

**

[ Door creaks ]

[ Both gasp ]
Aah!

D-D-Did you see that?

The door opened
all by itself.

Probably the wind...
or something.

Aah!

This place is
a real pigpen.

The Don would be pleased
you think so.

[ Gasps ]

Greetings, Mr. Greedly.
I've been expecting you.

Rigger: [ Grunts ]

Yeah?
And who the hog are you?

I'm Boaris.

I was Don Porkaloin's
groundskeeper.

Let me show you around.

This is the living room.

How about
some light, Morris?

That's Boaris.

Don Porkaloin disconnected
the lights to save energy.

Save energy?
Who cares about that?

Why, Don Porkaloin did.

He was quite
the environmentalist.

Don Porkaloin
an eco-geek?

Hogwash!

[ Bubbling ]

I wouldn't touch
anything in here.

[ Thunder crashes ]

[ Electricity crackles ]
Rigger: Aah! W-What is that?

Just a battery
recharger.

The Don was big
on renewable energy.

[ Organ plays ]

Enough!

I don't know what this junk is
[snorts]

but if it's good
for the environment,

it ain't
my grandpappy's!

So get rid of it.

[ Owl hoots ]

Huh? What's that?

It's a cuckoo clock, boss,
with a sick bird.

No.
It's a spotted owl clock.

Don Porkaloin believed
in bringing attention

to endangered species.

[ Slurping ]

Whoops.
Excuse me!

Aah!

[ Stammering ]

It's a can crusher.

[ Coins jingle ]

See?
It pays to recycle.

Oh, this eco-slop
is getting on my nerves.

I need food!

Excuse me, Mr. Greedly,

but leaving the fridge door open
wastes energy.

I've had it with you.
You're fired!

Now, get out, Norris!

That's Boaris,
and we will meet again.

Good riddance, Horace!

[ Thunder crashing ]

**

[ Wind howling ]

A treasure trunk!

[ Grunting ]

Locked!

Some treasure!

[ Snorts ]

Bah!

Hmm. [ Snorts ]

"Porkaloin Links."

A golf course!

"'Memoirs of Don Porkaloin.'

Plans to build
golf course and resort.

Make fortune."

Too bad he croaked before he
could make that fortune for me.

Hey!
I could make the fortune!

I'll be rich.
I am rich!

I'll be richer!

Rigger!

[ Thunder crashes ]

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Rumbling ]

Earthquake!

[ Rumbling continues ]

[ All gasp ]

The boy!

Ma-Ti, you help the boy!
I will handle the tree.

Wind!

[ Wind rushes ]

[ Crying ]

We are here to help.
Heart!

[ Rumbling ]

I'll try and hold it back!
Water!

[ Gasps ]
It's getting worse!

This calls for a team beam,
and fast!

Let our powers combine.

Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

Water!

Heart!

By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!

All: Go, Planet!

Those will help
darn the dam!

[ Wind rushing ]

**

[ All cheer ]

Aw, shucks.
Just doing my job.

Good thing, too.

This city's
in the middle of a drought.

Losing their water supply
would have been disastrous.

Happy to help, Planeteers.

The power is yours!

Gaia, what is wrong?

Hoggish Greedly is putting
a golf resort in the desert.

So?
What's wrong with that?

Grass requires vast amounts
of water.

In some areas,
golf courses are fine.

But in this town, people are
being asked to conserve water.

Where Greedly's building
his resort...

It will be horrible!

[ Water running ]

**

[ Wheel creaks ]

Greedly: As soon as they finish
rolling our that sod

and watering the greens,
we're in business!

[ Indistinct shouting ]

How can you do this?

[ Snorts ] What did I do?

You're sucking
the aquifer dry!

The price of water's
skyrocketing!

We just can't understand
why the grandson

of a conservationist
like Don Porkaloin would --

Hogticky!

I don't believe this slop

about grandpappy
being an eco-freak!

It's a genetic
impossibility.

Don Porkaloin knew
the golf course

would waste
too much water!

Get real! Porkaloin was
the Don of despoiling.

Uh, boss, your grandpappy
reformed!

His diary says --

Says what?

[ Gulps ] Nothing.

The price of water will
put me out of business!

Don't worry. We're here to
put Greedly out of business!

Wrong, geo-jerks!

I own the land
fair and square,

and I'm coughing up top dollar
for the water!

Now, everybody off my property
before I call the cops!

The law is clear --

Greedly is within
his rights.

Da. No matter how big
a pig he is.

[ Horn honks ]

Now what?

I believe we have
a mutual interest.

Oh, yeah?
Yes.

Ending the water waste
at Porkaloin Links.

I, uh, worked for
Don Porkaloin.

You mean
Greedly's grandfather?

Wasn't he as bad
as Greedly?

He was a lot like
Mr. Greedly,

but Don Porkaloin reformed.

If he could see the light,

maybe there's hope
for little Hoggish.

I've got an idea
that might do the trick.

You got to be kidding!

We do not have a plan.

It cannot hurt
to listen.

Okay, pal. Let's hear about
Operation Pork-Out.

[ Thunder crashes ]

[ Animal howling ]

[ Snoring ]

[ Rattling ]

Huh? What's that?

Must have been
my stomach grumbling.

Time for a snack!

[ Thunder rumbles ]

[ Grumbles ]

[ Thunder crashes ]

[ Floorboards creak ]

[ Grunting ]

Aah!

Ooh!

Greedly!

Aah!

Aah!

Greedly!

I am the ghost of
Don Porkaloin past.

You must reform
your Greedly ways.

No! No!

Yes!

Stop the waste,

and use your powers
to conserve.

It will give you
great satisfaction!

Aah! Aah!

[ Panting ]

What's the matter, boss?

[ Whimpers ]

A gh-gh-gh-ghost!

G-G-Grandpappy P-Porkaloin's
ghost

t-told me
to s-stop wasting!

Yep. Yep.

Sounds like him,
from what I read in his diary.

But you were probably, uh,

just sleepwalking in your sleep,
boss.

Yeah, yeah. Sleep walking.

Maybe you're right.

Now, get out
of this bed!

Ugh!
Aah!

It can't take
your weight!

Ugh!

**

[ Sprinkler hissing ]

* Da da dee dee da,
dee dee da *

Rigger!
Ugh!

Yeah, boss?

What's with
the bucket?

Use the hose!
[ Snorts ]

But according to
the Don's diary,

that wastes water.

I can do a real good job
with a bucket.

So can I!

[ Thunder crashes ]

[ Animal howls ]

I need my beauty rest

so I'll be fresh
for the grand opening tomorrow.

[ Snoring ]
[ Owl hoots ]

[ Rattling ]

Huh? Not again!

Greedly!

Go away!

I'm the ghost of
Porkaloin future!

What do you want from me?

Think globally,
act locally.

Reduce, reuse, recycle,

or you will lose everything,
Hoggish Greedly.

The name's Greedly,
not Greenly.

My greatest joys came from
conserving, sharing,

and working with nature!

Yours can, too!

In a pig's eye!

Maybe you sold out
to the tree huggers,

but I'm making a bundle
off this deal,

and you can't stop me!

[ Sighs ]

All will be revealed
tomorrow...midnight,

at the costume ball!

What costume ball?

You will see!

I can't think
on an empty stomach.

Rigger, to the kitchen!

[ Laughter ]

I think Greedly
may fall for it,

if your giggling
does not give us away.

Still, we've got a ways to go
before we change his mind.

And it will be hard
to move around freely

in the hotel tomorrow.

Not if we check in
as guests.

Right.

Uh, we'd like a room
for the Planeteers, please.

It won't be the Planeteers
who won't check in.

Greedly:
Talk about a nightmare.

Grandpappy said
all would be revealed

at some costume ball!

Isn't that a squeal?

I didn't plan
a costume ball.

[ Munching ]

Yes, you did, boss.

Look! Porkaloin Links
golf ball.

Posters
are all over town!

Huh?

[ Scottish accent ] Ay,
and thanks to ye, Mr. Greedly!

There's something familiar
about them!

Those Duffers were
real friendly, boss.

And they were sure interested
in hearing about

Don Porkaloin's
environmental ideas.

Yep, yep.

Hmm. That's it!
That's who they are!

Good work, Rigger!
Ugh!

Gee, thanks, boss.

What did I do?

You'll see.
Come on.

Your idea for getting us in here
is working like a trinket.

That's "charm,"
Linka.

And if the guest of honor
can't reform Greedly,

nothing will.

You've got that right,
pyro-punk!

Nothing will reform me!

Rigger:
I wouldn't do that!

Uh, sorry.

Don't apologize
to the geo-jerks!

Just show them
to their new room!

[ Laughs ]

[ Snorts ]

Seems a shame
wasting you

since you want to save the
planet like Don Porkaloin did.

Then why
are you doing this?

Greedly's my boss.
Who else would hire me?

[ Chuckles ] Well, see ya!

Uh...maybe not.

[ Water rushing ]

Greedly: Oh, darn!

That pipe's
sprung a leak!

Hope you can hold your breath
forever!

Now I can really
enjoy the party!

The planet-punks' little scheme
drew quite a crowd

for my grand opening.

They made me happy
as a pig in mud!

[ Laughs ]

Man:
Mm, great place, hmm?

But, uh, wasn't there
some environmental concern

of something
or another?

Mm, something about
water or pollution.

We're solving our
environmental problems

as we speak.

[ Snorts ]
[ Laughs ]

Mr. Greedly,
quite a party.

I'm ready to join
Porkaloin Links.

Just sign
on the dotted line.

[ Snorts ]
Excuse me.

Go make sure the planet pests
have had enough to drink!

Yep! Plenty to drink!
[ Laughs ]

Good one, boss!

Sorry, planet pukes.

But don't worry about this water
going to waste.

I'll recycle it.

[ All coughing ]

[ Inhales sharply ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Coughs ] Okay,
everyone out of the pool!

[ Dance music plays, laughter ]

Uh, w-w-would you
d-dare to prance?

I-I mean
fear to stance?

I mean go to France?

I mean care to dance?

Get lost, lackey.

I don't mean
to hog your attention, dearie,

but how about
hoofing it with moi?

Great! [ Snorts ]

Mm, uh, uh, uh,
there we go.

[ Giggles ]
[ Bones crunch ]

Oh!

You're quite a sow!

I believe you got everything
a hog like me could want.

[ Giggles ]

[ High-pitched voice ] And you
have something that I want.

I do?

You can turn this water-wasting
golf course

into a preserve
for endangered desert species.

[ Belches ]
Where's the profit in that?

Surely there are other things
beside profit

that are important to
a man of your means.

[ Giggles ]
[ Snorts ] No.

Well, that's what
I figured.

[ Normal voice ] But I had to
give it a shot!

[ High-pitched voice ]
[ Gasps ] Whoops. [ Giggles ]

Huh?

[ Normal voice ] Thanks
for the dance, Greedly!

But the party's over!

All: Go, Planet!

Not yet,
Captain Clambake!

Because the chowder
is yours!

[ Coughs ]

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Are you okay, Cap?

[ Coughs, spits ]

Yeah, I'm,
uh, soup-er.

Come on, Planeteers.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

[ Snorts ]

[ Grunting ]

This ought to send the captain
sailing.

[ All screaming ]

Looks like this party's
a wash.

All aboard!

Oh, thank goodness.

Aw, dry up!

Back to
the water table.

**

[ Toilet flushes ]

Well...pbht!
That's water under the bridge.

Way under!

[ All cheer ]

That blue buffoon really knows
how to spoil a good time!

You again?

I am the ghost
of Porkaloin present.

Yeah? Well, I'm about
to splatter your spirit!

[ Tires squeal, engine revs ]

[ Tires screech ]

[ Crash ]

Boaris: Going somewhere,
Mr. Greedly?

Grandpappy's a fake?
I'm out of here!

What's your rush?

All will be revealed
at midnight, remember?

[ Bell tolling ]

Sounds like the bell tolls
for thee, Greedly.

[ Grunting ]

You could have had
all this.

What do you mean?
I have all this, Doris!

That's...

Don Porkaloin --

or grandpappy to you,
oinker.

All right!

Oh, wow!

Wow!

You sure lost
a lot of weight!

I stopped overconsuming.

[ Inhales deeply ]

you disappoint me,
my grandson.

You've proved I cannot
leave my estate to you.

Don Porkaloin!
Grandpappy!

Please! Please!
Please! Please! Please!

[ Smooches ]

All the land
will be given

to the Green Conservancy

in honor of Captain Planet
and the Planeteers.

Well, I may have
lost my inheritance,

but I still have
trusty old Rigger.

[ Snorts ]

Nope, nope, nope.

Don Porkaloin's just hired me
to restore the grounds,

but I do need
an assistant!

Why, you...
Come here!

Come here! Come on!

Planeteers: Go, Planet!

When planning a landscape
for a home or business,

keep the environment
in mind.

Grass for lawns
and golf courses

requires
huge amounts of water,

which is scarce
in many places.

Every region has plants that
will adapt to local conditions.

So if you live in
a drought-prone area,

landscape with plants that do
not need a lot of extra water.

By using plants suited for
your local environment...

You can have
a beautiful yard.

All: The power is yours!

Planeteers: Go, Planet!

[ Horns honking ]

We can reduce air pollution
if we all do our part.

Using mass transit
is one way.

Yeah. Ride the train
or a bus whenever you can.

Carpooling is another great way
to cut down on air pollution.

Gi: If your area
doesn't have mass transit,

ask your parents
or a teacher

to write your local government
and ask for it.

It is up to each of us
to make a difference!

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!
