Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 6, Episode 9 - One of the Gang - full transcript
After saving a rich man's life in a boat storm, Senior Cisneros persuades the Planeteers to a stay at his luxurious hotel. Ma-Ti gets mistaken for a local riffraff by the hotel's police. So...
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
* Captain Planet,
he's the man *
* Leading the charge,
Earth's number-one fan *
* Check him out,
you're gonna see *
* He's the mega mac daddy
of ecology *
* Cap's the hero
with the gumption *
* Takes on the overpopulation
and consumption *
* Yeah, he could use
a better groomer *
* Some people say
he's got a bad sense of humor *
[ Singsong voice ]
I'm back!
* But when Eco-villains
run amok *
* Plundering and pillaging,
yuk *
* Cap's here
to level the playing field *
* With a PhD
in sustainable yield *
* But he's not the only hero
for Earth *
* Gaia's wisdom
gave the Planeteers birth *
* Wheeler's the fire,
Ma-Ti's got heart *
* Gi's got the power
to make waters part *
* Kwame's rocking
with element earth *
* And Linka uses wind
for all she's worth *
* Still Greedlys and Blights
trash our planet *
* It's up to us to say
we won't stand it *
* Raise your voice
and challenge your peers *
* Say it's way cool
to be Planeteers *
Captain Planet:
The power is yours!
**
Wheeler,
this is hard enough
without your doohickle
in my face!
Wheeler:
It's a minicam, Linka!
Ugh, whatever.
Still am not sure why
we are climbing Mount Everest.
Because it's here?
And because we need
the distraction.
Gaia thought a change of pace
might help restore our spirits.
[ Suchi chatters ]
Besides, according to
the "National Exaggerator,"
this is where
the legendary Bigfoot lives.
[ Scoffs ]
You mean yeti,
abominable snowman?
That is silly!
Oh, yeah? Well, I'm gonna
capture him --
on video, that is.
I am hoping we see
a snow leopard!
[ Grunts ]
We made it to the...
Kwame: Dump?
Even at the top of the world,
people pollute.
All right!
Bigfoot footprints!
Wheeler, those are
your footprints!
Oh, yeah.
But what about these?
No, Wheeler. Those are
snow leopard prints!
Let's follow them!
**
Forget the pussycat,
Ma-Ti.
We got to find shelter.
And soon before we end up
Planet Popsicles.
Suchi is right.
We are in deep trouble.
No sweat, guys.
I'll just
turn up the heat.
Fire!
How's that for
an instant fireplace?
More like
an instant avalanche!
[ All screaming ]
[ Both screaming ]
[ Both grunting ]
-Ah!
[ Suchi screaming ]
Ah!
Ma-Ti!
Earth!
[ Screams ]
Oof!
My ring!
I will bring you up!
Wind!
-Ma-Ti! Suchi!
-Are you hurt?
I lost my ring.
It came off with my glove.
[ Snarling ]
-Now what?
Snow leopard.
It wants us to follow.
-Must be the thin air.
Ma-Ti's talking to animals.
And he doesn't
even have his ring.
Ma-Ti! Wait!
Gi:
Slow down, Ma-Ti!
We're already
on thin ice.
Besides, I can't keep
my focus steady.
[ Rumbling ]
-Wipe out!
[ All screaming ]
Where are we?
Ma-Ti, next time
we go sightseeing,
find a better tour guide.
Well, at least
my camera still works.
Go stick your thingamabob
in someone else's business.
Hey, how'd this hair ball
get on my lens?
B-B-B-Bigfoot!
Stop joking,
Wheeler.
He's not kidding.
[ Suchi squeals ]
Ah, let's get out
of here fast!
You are free to go.
But you will surely
perish in the storm.
Uh, i-it talks!
And I have much
to tell you.
Some wanted to leave
you to freeze.
But others felt
we should save you.
Others?
What's going on?
We brought you here
to decide your fate,
to be tried for your crimes!
Book 'em, Danno!
[ Squawks ] Book 'em!
What are we being
charged with?
The extinction
of your fellow species!
[ Squawks ] Hang 'em high!
Hang 'em high!
Shh! Quiet.
Whoa, wait.
We haven't caused
anyone's extinction.
We're Planeteers.
Perhaps.
But you are also humans.
So,
who's gonna try us?
A jury of your peers.
Reality check -- They don't look
like a jury of my peers!
We are all creatures
of the same Earth.
And these 12 angry animals
are some of
the most persecuted,
thanks to
humans like you.
Guilty as sin!
Guilty as sin!
Enough.
Call the first witness!
Witness?
Who is testifying?
Mammoth:
Those of us who are no more.
Aah!
-Put him down! Stop that!
-Put him down!
[ Mammoths trumpeting ]
Amazing. This looks like
thousands of years ago.
It is, the time when
my kind roamed free.
But now,
the hunters are coming.
They are unlike
other predators
who hunt the sick,
the weak, and the old.
We do not know to fear them
until it is too late.
But early people
were hunter-gatherers.
They used your wooly coat
for warmth, your meat for food,
and even your bones
for tools and shelters.
[ Shouting ]
Kwame: No!
Do not harm him!
Earth!
What has been learned?
That humans hunted us
until we were gone.
But it was
for survival.
The hunters were
no different than wolves,
who hunt
and kill their prey.
Maybe. But you were
better hunters -- much better.
Back then, humans
were not aware
they were wiping out
the species.
They were only trying
to eat and stay alive.
Mm.
The boy has a point.
But are you not still
destroying us now?
There are some people
who slaughter you
for your ivory tusks.
But not all people
are like that.
Really?
Well, my instincts help me
with the dangers of the sea.
[ Gasps ]
But I wasn't prepared
for what humans brought.
Aah!
Aah!
Ah, what have we here?
A mermaid without a tail?
-Oh, no.
[ Seals barking ]
What's going on?
Christopher Columbus?
I see my name is known
throughout the world.
Please, you can't keep
catching all these seals.
You'll wipe them out.
Surely you jest.
The seas are black
with pinnipeds.
They could never
be wiped out.
They'll be gone
sooner than you know.
We sailed across the world
to find these riches.
Fur, meat, and oil
are valuable for trade.
This fat animal will fetch
a fine price.
No! Water!
Ah!
-This girl is a witch!
-Get her!
Columbus: Forget the girl!
Get the seal!
**
Well?
What did you find?
Humans hunted down
every last one of us
Caribbean monk seals.
Seals were valuable
for trade.
Sad as it is,
seal skins
were an important
form of barter.
Am I still important,
too?
Is that why
you're hunting me,
because I'm special?
Some people think
wearing beautiful furs
makes them special.
So you are saying
it is no longer
an issue of survival.
Humans choose to kill
for decoration.
What's a decoration?
I don't understand.
I'm not sure
I really do either.
Thylacine: [ Growls ]
Well, my coat's downright itchy.
You can't have
slaughtered me for that.
[ Suchi screams ]
That's a weird wolf.
It is not a wolf.
It is a kind of marsupial.
You mean like
a carnivorous kangaroo?
Yes.
It is a thylacine,
although some people
called it Tasmanian wolf
or Tasmanian tiger.
Well, since you have
all the answers, kid,
answer to this.
Since the beginning,
we shared the land
with the Aborigines.
We respected each other's
place in nature.
But then, a human calling
himself a rancher showed up.
[ Clank, thylacine yelps ]
I will help you!
[ Gun cocks ]
-[ Gasps ]
Matey, you just made
a fatal mistake.
What'd you let that thieving
mongrel lose for, boyo?
The animal had done no harm!
Maybe not yet!
But I got me
an investment to protect.
And I ain't fool
enough to stand by
while that Tasmanian tiger
gobbles up my profits!
Profits?
I've never eaten a profit.
Rodents, yes,
and an occasional 'roo
or lamb.
I've worked hard and honest
to raise these sheep.
And I'll be blasted
if I lose them
to the scrawny likes of you!
-Stop!
[ Thylacine yelps ]
-Oof!
[ Suchi chatters ]
Why wouldn't the rancher
share the land with me?
[ Suchi chatters ]
They thought you would
take their sheep.
And they feared you.
Wolf: [ Howls ]
Just like you fear me?
Don't you realize
the good I do?
I can eat my weight
in rats and mice
and keep wild herds strong
by preying on the weak
and the sick.
Sounds like humans
see you both
as unwanted competition
to be eliminated.
I wasn't competing.
I was just living.
Newt: You think he's got it bad,
wh-what about me?
Who said that?
See? I get no respect.
What are you,
Rodney and Dangerfield?
No, I never got
a human name.
You wiped me off
the face of the Earth
without even knowing
I existed!
-No way!
-Way!
Ah!
Blah! Gross!
This stinks!
[ Sniffs ]
Ah, it's perfume to me.
The dung beetles shared
the logs with us.
And, boy, did we have
some great times together.
All my kind lived
in this forest until...
[ Rumbling ]
[ Birds squawking ]
What's that?
It's the end
of the world!
Hey, relax.
It's just
a bunch of bulldozers --
heading this way!
Let's get out of here!
Wait! They're clearing
the way for my extinction!
You mean, if these guys
level this place,
all you newt things
will be wiped out?
Duh!
Yeah!
Then we've got to
stop them!
Hold it!
Hey, kid!
You loco? Move it!
No can do!
There are animals
in this forest
that haven't even
been discovered yet.
And you guys are
destroying their home!
If I don't clear this forest,
I won't get paid.
And I could
lose my home!
But there's got to
be another way!
Yeah. Your forest friends'll
just have to move.
And so will you!
Hey!
Hey, put me down!
Whatever you say,
pal.
Oof!
**
Ah!
Oof!
No!
Ah!
[ Sputtering ]
Oh!
So, how come I didn't
get no respect?
I don't know, pal,
maybe 'cause you're
just a little guy.
Grizzly: [ Snarls ]
I'm no little guy.
If humans continue
destroying our forests,
I won't have
a home either.
[ Suchi chatters ]
I-I see your point,
Mr. Grizzly, sir.
Big or small,
all creatures
have a right to survive.
But how can we?
Is your home being threatened,
too, little one?
It's worse than that.
Bozhe moi!
Where are we?
This is my home.
Fantastic!
It is so beautiful!
[ Airplane approaches ]
[ Both coughing ]
What is happening?
[ Coughing ]
It is
some sort of chemical.
Only one thing
can save us.
Wind!
What caused that?
They are spraying
those crops with pesticide.
Some of it must have
drifted over to your field.
Fly, little one!
Fly for your life!
Ah!
[ Panting ]
Are you okay?
[ Horns honking ]
I'm fine.
But where have
all the flowers gone?
We are in a city.
There is little room
for flowers.
[ Horn blares ]
[ Both coughing ]
How can you humans live
in such an awful place?
Sometimes, I wonder.
The water!
It burns!
It burns!
Acid rain!
[ Screams ]
Why is this happening?
Why?
Why? Why?
Hey, it's okay.
You're safe now.
Well, sort of.
You have heard
the charges.
What have you humans
to say in your defense?
[ Suchi chatters ]
There is no defense.
There is no excuse.
We are guilty,
Your Honor, as charged.
[ Squawks ] Fry 'em!
Fry 'em! Fry 'em!
Silence.
You have freely admitted
that humans are responsible
for the disappearance
of these species
and countless others.
[ Growls ]
A fitting sentence would be
the same fate you gave us --
extinction.
But that is not our way.
We are not like humans.
We could have
let you die.
Instead,
we sentence you to...
live with the knowledge
of all the destruction
humankind has wrought
and ask that you promise,
in your hearts,
never to forget.
We promise.
This court
is adjourned!
[ All screaming ]
Whoa!
What happened?
We fell
through the ice.
The question is,
where are we?
I am not sure.
But look!
My ring!
This is all
very strange.
Wheeler, did you record this
on your whosamacallit?
I don't know.
But we'll find out in a sec.
I'm rewinding.
[ Gasps ] I don't believe it!
Bigfoot!
I got Bigfoot,
the scoop of the century!
Wheeler, get actual.
You mean "get real!"
And that's what I got!
The real Bigfoot!
See?
[ Rumbling ]
[ All gasping ]
-My camera!
-No time for that!
We need a team beam!
Now!
Let our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
[ Rumbling ]
Ice picking on my pals
really steams me!
Come on, Planeteers.
Let's blow this
stalactite stand!
My camera!
Got to get it!
Linka: Ah! Wait!
Wheeler's still
down there!
When is that boy
gonna get with the program?
Come to papa.
Ah! Whoa!
Chill, Wheeler!
I've got you.
But my camera!
I'm afraid you'll have
to get a new one.
That one's totally iced.
Man, I can't believe
I lost Bigfoot.
Could've been worse --
you could have lost your foot,
not mention an arm
and a leg.
You know, it's strange.
But somehow,
this whole adventure's
lifted my spirits.
I know what you mean.
I feel ready to take on
the planet's problems again.
Look, the snow leopard.
Snow Leopard:
Remember your promise.
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Captain Planet:
How many things in your home
are made from trees?
Furniture, books,
baseball bats,
even your house's floors
and framing.
We need wood,
but we also need forests.
Protect forests by using
recycled paper goods
and recycling newspapers,
cardboard, and magazines.
Use old wood
to make new things.
Think of new and creative
ways to reuse
and recycle wood products.
It's up to all of us
to manage our forests
for a greener tomorrow.
All: The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!

All: Go, Planet!

Oof!
**
Ah!
Oof!
No!
Ah!
[ Sputtering ]
Oh!
So, how come I didn't
get no respect?
I don't know, pal,
maybe 'cause you're
just a little guy.
Grizzly: [ Snarls ]
I'm no little guy.
If humans continue
destroying our forests,
I won't have
a home either.
[ Suchi chatters ]
I-I see your point,
Mr. Grizzly, sir.
Big or small,
all creatures
have a right to survive.
But how can we?
Is your home being threatened,
too, little one?
It's worse than that.
Bozhe moi!
Where are we?
This is my home.
Fantastic!
It is so beautiful!
[ Airplane approaches ]
[ Both coughing ]
What is happening?
[ Coughing ]
It is
some sort of chemical.
Only one thing
can save us.
Wind!
What caused that?
They are spraying
those crops with pesticide.
Some of it must have
drifted over to your field.
Fly, little one!
Fly for your life!
Ah!
[ Panting ]
Are you okay?
[ Horns honking ]
I'm fine.
But where have
all the flowers gone?
We are in a city.
There is little room
for flowers.
[ Horn blares ]
[ Both coughing ]
How can you humans live
in such an awful place?
Sometimes, I wonder.
The water!
It burns!
It burns!
Acid rain!
[ Screams ]
Why is this happening?
Why?
Why? Why?
Hey, it's okay.
You're safe now.
Well, sort of.
You have heard
the charges.
What have you humans
to say in your defense?
[ Suchi chatters ]
There is no defense.
There is no excuse.
We are guilty,
Your Honor, as charged.
[ Squawks ] Fry 'em!
Fry 'em! Fry 'em!
Silence.
You have freely admitted
that humans are responsible
for the disappearance
of these species
and countless others.
[ Growls ]
A fitting sentence would be
the same fate you gave us --
extinction.
But that is not our way.
We are not like humans.
We could have
let you die.
Instead,
we sentence you to...
live with the knowledge
of all the destruction
humankind has wrought
and ask that you promise,
in your hearts,
never to forget.
We promise.
This court
is adjourned!
[ All screaming ]
Whoa!
What happened?
We fell
through the ice.
The question is,
where are we?
I am not sure.
But look!
My ring!
This is all
very strange.
Wheeler, did you record this
on your whosamacallit?
I don't know.
But we'll find out in a sec.
I'm rewinding.
[ Gasps ] I don't believe it!
Bigfoot!
I got Bigfoot,
the scoop of the century!
Wheeler, get actual.
You mean "get real!"
And that's what I got!
The real Bigfoot!
See?
[ Rumbling ]
[ All gasping ]
-My camera!
-No time for that!
We need a team beam!
Now!
Let our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
[ Rumbling ]
Ice picking on my pals
really steams me!
Come on, Planeteers.
Let's blow this
stalactite stand!
My camera!
Got to get it!
Linka: Ah! Wait!
Wheeler's still
down there!
When is that boy
gonna get with the program?
Come to papa.
Ah! Whoa!
Chill, Wheeler!
I've got you.
But my camera!
I'm afraid you'll have
to get a new one.
That one's totally iced.
Man, I can't believe
I lost Bigfoot.
Could've been worse --
you could have lost your foot,
not mention an arm
and a leg.
You know, it's strange.
But somehow,
this whole adventure's
lifted my spirits.
I know what you mean.
I feel ready to take on
the planet's problems again.
Look, the snow leopard.
Snow Leopard:
Remember your promise.
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Captain Planet:
How many things in your home
are made from trees?
Furniture, books,
baseball bats,
even your house's floors
and framing.
We need wood,
but we also need forests.
Protect forests by using
recycled paper goods
and recycling newspapers,
cardboard, and magazines.
Use old wood
to make new things.
Think of new and creative
ways to reuse
and recycle wood products.
It's up to all of us
to manage our forests
for a greener tomorrow.
All: The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
