He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983–1985): Season 1, Episode 20 - Dawn of Dragoon - full transcript

He-Man.

And the Masters of the Universe.

I am Adam, Prince of Eternia.

Defender of the

secrets of Castle Grayskull.

This is Cringer, my fearless friend.

Fabulous secret powers were revealed

to me the day I held aloft

my magic sword and said,

by the power of Grayskull.

I have the power!



Cringer became the

mighty Battle Cat, and I became

He-Man, the most

powerful man in the universe.

Only three others share this secret:

Our friends the Sorceress,

Man-at-Arms, and Orko.

Together we defend Castle Grayskull from,

the evil forces of Skeletor.

Alright, now let me get this straight.

This side is supposed to produce flowers?

Yes, but Man-At-Arms, it's...

Orko, if you want me to fix your
magic pyramid, just answer me...

This side makes flowers?



Pft... Mud!

Well? That's what I was trying
to tell ya. It's not working right.

And this side is supposed
to produce... a swan?

Yes, but it's also...

-Orko...

and this side makes fruit, huh?

No. You open it.

I thought you said it was broken.

Well, that's the side that still works.

Well at least, some of your tricks work.

Oh, back in land of Trolla,

all my tricks worked.

You hardly ever talk about Trolla.
Where is it?

In a different astral zone from here.

It's beautiful there.

I'll bet you get homesick.

Yeah, back home, I was a powerful sorcerer.

I had respect.

You, a powerful sorcerer?
That's a good one.

It's true.
They called me Orko the Great.

Well if I were, Orko the Great,

I would stop playing with those meteorites,

'cause they might be dangerous.

What happened?

Those rocks from space...

seem to have a magical
effect on Orko's pyramid.

It's back!

Why, it's a girl Orko!

Where am I?
The Royal Palace, on planet Eternia.

I am Orko,
royal magician in residence,

at your complete and total service.

Boy, is he laying it on thick.

Get the feeling he likes her?

Not, Orko the Great.

You've heard of me?

Everyone in Trolla knows
of Orko the Great.

You're a famous sorcerer.

I don't believe it.

You've come from Trolla?

Yes, I am Dree Elle.

I was hiding from Dragoon
when this box appeared beside me.

I went to look inside,
and it brought me here.

Somehow the meteorites have energized...

it into a shuttle between
Orko's world and ours.

Who is this Dragoon you were hiding from?

An evil monster.
All of Trolla is in danger.

Oh Orko, if only we had
someone like you to help us.

C'mon!

Orko, what are you doing?

I'm going back with Dree Elle.
They need me.

Wait, Orko. Let us help you.

Yes, it sounds dangerous.

You wouldn't fit in the pyramid.

Besides, I want to do this myself.

He's gone!

I am worried about him.

So am I, but I don't know what we can do.

I do.

Trolla.
Just as I remember it.

Dragoon will hear us.

Let him hear.
You're here with Orko the Great.

Now, tell me about him.

He is half man,
half dragon and breathes fire.

Does it, by any chance, look like that?

Run, Orko.

My magic still works here. Wow!

Our only hope of following
Orko, is the Sorceress.

By the power of Grayskull.

Oh no, not again.

I have the power!

By the power of Grayskull,

I command the Jawbridge, open!

This is only a temporary portal to Trolla,

and as you can see, it is much too small.

Sorceress...

Do you have the power to make me
small enough to enter the portal?

Yes,

but it is too dangerous.

This portal will vanish at moonrise.
If you're not back by then...

you will be trapped in Trolla.

I'll take that chance.

Orko may need help.

Very well. Take this,

it is the Sphere of Size.

Squeeze it to grow small.

Release it to return to full size.

Good,
we can enter the portal now.

Remember,
you must be back here by moonrise.

Got it. Come on.

That's strange.

Going through the portal
changed us back into Adam and Cringer.

Look at this place.

Wow. Upside down trees.

Fish that fly like birds.

Even the rainbow is upside down.

Things seem to be backwards here.

L-L-Look out!

By the power of Grayskull.

It doesn't work here.

Use your fire-ray.

Water!
Oh, something is wrong with this thing?

This calls for drastic measures.

Help, help.

Maybe I can use those trees.

It worked! Cringer, c'mon.

The sooner we find Orko and
get back to Eternia, the better.

At last, a voice of reason.

Did we lose Dragoon?

Uh... I'll look.

I don't see him.

I don't remember Dragoon.
Where did he come from?

They say he was sent here by
a creature called Skeletor.

Skeletor, I might have known.

You two will not escape...

me this time.

-Help! -Help!

Help!

-Help! -Help!

That's coming from the gorge.

-Help! -Help!

It's Orko, he's in trouble. Over this way.

I got a nice surprise...

waiting for you two at my fortress.

They're trapped, in a ring of fire.

-Help! -Help!

We've got to do something.

Help, let me go.
My fire-ray...

Help!

Help!

It shoots water here.

Orko, up here.

Adam, where are y...

Look out!

Orko.
Your powers really are strong here.

Very well, trollan...

I'll return for you later.

He's got Dree Elle.

What happened?
Why aren't you He-Man?

That's a long story.

Let's go after Dree Elle
and I'll tell you on the way...

and let's be quick about it,
we only have a few hours left.

Help! Save me!

Silence.

Your friends await their fate.

Orko the Great will cut you down to size.

Such spirit pretty one.

I will put your energy to good use.

What are you doing to my people?

You're about to find out.

You can't change into He-Man here?

No, there is something about Trolla...

Something I'm overlooking.

I can't put my finger on it.

You're sure it's not dark in Eternia, yet?

Yes, we still have two hours.

There. Dragoon's fortress.

Let's find a way inside.

What's wrong with them?

What have you done?

I'm draining their energy from them.

I am so tired. Oh.

Sleep, trollan, sleep.

The energy is stored
there, in the Megacore.

When I have collected the
energy of all your people...

My mission will be complete.

The energy will be
transferred to my master...

Skeletor.

Another one done.

Now, it's your turn.

No, stop.
You can't do this, you...

I see you have strong energy.

You won't get

away with...

I...

I can't...

think...

Farewell, pretty one.

Must not...

go... to... sleep.

C'mon, inside.

I better keep watch out here.

Cringer.

All right, all right.

At least there's nothing
guarding this place.

I've had about enough of this world;

crazy beasts, upside down trees,

fire-rays that shoot water.

Even Orko's magic works!

Everything's backwards here.

That's it!

Things are backwards here. If I say

'By the power of Grayskull' backwards...

Maybe then, it will work.

Grayskull of power the by!

I have the power!

Here you are.

Hungry, huh?

Well, dig in.

Who goes there?

I'll take care of Dragoon.
You look for Dree Elle.

Come out and play with me, frog face.

Orko, go!

No one defies me.

Dree Elle, where are you?

Dree Elle.
What has he...

done to you?

Just as I thought.

Only one man in the universe has that kind

of strength.

Skeletor warned me about you.

Imagine his pleasure

when he learns that I have

banished you to...

the bottomless hole of Trolla!

This hole never ends.

You will fall forever!

It's time for your fall, He-Man.

A fall forever.

Help!

Help mee!

Stand by, Battle Cat.

Battle Cat, find another vine.

Hang on, Cat.

Now comes the hard part.

I don't understand.

You risked your life to save me?

I wouldn't have done that for you.

That's how we're different:
I believe in saving lives.

Even your enemies?

I may be your enemy, but you're not mine.

Maybe I've been wrong.

Maybe saving lives is better...

You got some heavy thinking to do.

I hope you come to the right conclusion.

But if I hear you've

returned to your evil ways,

I'll be back.

He-Man...

thank you.

Orko, what's wrong?

It's Dree Elle.
I can't wake her up.

Have you tried your magic?

Didn't work.

You can't give up. You are

the greatest sorcerer in all of Trolla.

That's right. We believe in you...

but you have to believe in yourself.

Keep trying. No matter what.

I wish...

with all my heart from way...

down deep Dree Elle...

please rise...

from Dragoon's sleep.

Please, work.

What's it?

Dree Elle!

What's he doing?
We only have a few minutes left.

He had to revive all the other trollans,

and I think he wanted to
show Dree Elle his face.

It is a custom among the trollans.

You only show your face
to someone you love.

Kinda like...

Well, it's like getting engaged.

Give me a break.

Orko, you did it, you saved us all.

Well, I better be going.

Can't you stay here, with us?

Oh, I wish I could,
but my friends in Eternia need me.

There's still so much evil to fight there.

I understand.

Dree Elle,
do you think, before I leave...

we could really see each other? Show faces?

Oh Orko, I was hoping you'd ask.

Ah, you're, beautiful.
I'll be back someday.

I'll be waiting.

Hurry, Moonrise is starting right now.

We'll never make it in time.

We've got to.

The moon, has risen. It's too late.
The portal's disappearing.

I'm afraid they've...

Look!

Well, I guess this means we've
been eating our vegetables.

Welcome back, He-Man.

Good to see you, lad. What happened?

Orko's magic saved his people.

-Really?
You should have seen him.

I could never have done it

without your faith in me.

Orko...

why didn't you stay with Dree Elle?

You seemed so fond of each other.

I wanted to, but you're my friends too...

and as long as the Skeletor threatens

Eternia, I'm gonna help you defend it.

Well, little guy, I'm glad you're back.
We need you,

and by the way, you're one fine magician...

and don't let anyone tell you

otherwise, not even me.

In today's story Orko was faced

with a very difficult decision.

You know, when we're young most

of our decisions are made for us.

But as we get older, well, we want to

make more and more of them for ourselves.

And that's they way it ought to be.

But sometimes we have a real tough one,

a real problem.

And when that happens it's a good idea

to talk it over with someone else.

Someone who really cares about you.

Like your mother or father,

or maybe your best friend.

Talking a problem out with

someone else can be a great help.
