Quotes
-
Kwame : [both gasp as a shell races toward them, he tackles Wheeler] *Down*, you fool!
Wheeler : [in shock, after a hut is destroyed] Someone's shellin' at us!
Kwame : [dryly] Ah - you noticed. But they will not be for long. Earth.
[his ring causes the mound of dirt near the shooters to shake in an earthquake, they flee and it crumples]
Wheeler : Hey - you sure got rid of *them*!
Kwame : They will return. They always do.
Wheeler : What do they want?
Kwame : This land. The only oasis left in the region - look around you, boy!
Wheeler : [examines his surroundings to find a few dead trees and no grass] Oh, no! All the land here used to be green, and beautiful! Now it's a desert!
Kwame : Global warming changed the weather. The rainfall moved away from us.
Wheeler : But we planted trees out there to hold back the water and stop erosion!
Kwame : No one *ever* planted trees out *there*.
Wheeler : What're you talking about? The Planeteers helped you!
Kwame : [touching a tree] The Planeteers? Ha! We had fine ideas, but - others did not do their part and eventually we went our separate ways. I planted a few trees in *our* village, but I am only one man. If others had helped me... maybe we could have saved much more.
[both leap behind the tree as two more shells are fired toward them and hit it]
Wheeler : [grabbing his shoulder] Kwame - let me help now! We can revive the Planeteers! We can do something to save the planet!
Kwame : [grabs his collar] Stop talking nonsense, boy! "Save the planet"! I am in a war to save this one oasis! If you want to help - then FIGHT!

Kwame : Hey, Hero, did you have to take on those villains by yourself?
-
Captain Planet : [during the first Planeteer alert] The future of Earth rests in all our hands.
Gi : Please don't waste water.
Kwame : Please do not waste energy.
Wheeler : Please don't waste your minds and bodies.
Gaia : Please don't waste our future.
Captain Planet : The power is yours!

Captain Planet : [at the second Planeteer Alert, where we see people trying to put trash in an overflowing can] We all wonder what effect each of us has on the future. Every person can set an example for bad...
Kwame : ...Or for good.
Linka : Together, with each of us setting good examples...
Ma-Ti : ...We can save the planet.
Wheeler : And protect the future.
Captain Planet : The power is yours!
