Joey Dedio: Wheeler

Quotes 

• Wheeler : [watching a tiger leave a log in a clearing, jumps back at the woods' edge]  What was that?

  Kwame : [Kwame and Ma-Ti run into him from behind]  Watch out! What is the matter, Wheeler? Did the little pussycat scare you?

  Wheeler : Not scared, Kwame, old pal. Just curious.

  [the others grin] 

  Wheeler : Back in New York they used to say I had nerves of steel.

  [an owl flies above, he ducks] 

  Wheeler : Yow!

  Kwame : It appears that in Thailand, your steel nerves have gotten a bit rusty.

• Wheeler : Let me show you what we do to evil spirits where I come from!

  Linka : Wheeler, no!

  Wheeler : [his ring sets the "Phi Pok" ablaze but it does not react and a moment later continues to go after him when the flames die down]  Oops. It's fireproof.

  [runs ahead of it to drive it away from Linka] 

  Wheeler : That's right - follow me! Come on, you stupid superstition!

• Wheeler : Boy, you got awful sharp teeth for a superstition!

• Wheeler : Nice going, Gi. Those slobs could use a bath.

  [He and Gi gasp as the flood sweeps them off, Greedly is shown gripping the chamber door's edge when Rigger grips his arm as he is being swept by] 

  Rigger : Save me, Mr. Greedly! Save me!

  Hoggish Greedly : Go soak your head. I'm saving myself.

• Linka : [embracing him]  Thank goodness you're safe!

  Wheeler : [released]  Hey, if I'd known you'd react like this, I'd get myself captured all the time.

• [last lines] 

  Wheeler : I'm gonna miss this place.

  Linka : I thought you did not want to come here.

  Wheeler : That was before you hugged me.

  Linka : I had no choice, Wheeler. It was either you or the dragon-beast.

• [during the Planeteer Alert] 

  Kwame : This place looks terrible. Nothing will grow here.

  Captain Planet : I know, Kwame. Many forms of mining destroy the land.

  Gi : But, there's something you can do that will stop more of our beautiful Earth from looking like this.

  Kwame : Instead of throwing away your aluminum cans, foil, and other reusable metals, take them to a collection center.

  Wheeler : Be a Planeteer. Recycle.

  Planeteers : We do.

  Captain Planet : The power is yours!
