Quotes 

• Wheeler : What fun is a silly old shaman and a bunch of stupid plants?

  [sees a vine] 

  Wheeler : But *this* plant - this plant is bodacious!

  [jumps on it and swings, yodeling, but loses his grip and crashes into a tree branch - and into the coils of a snake] 

  Wheeler : AAH! SNAKE!

  [pushes himself far enough way that he falls to the ground] 

  Wheeler : Whoa. That was close.

  [sees his hand rests on an infested plant] 

  Wheeler : OUCH! ANTS! Ow! Ahh, ow, ow! Ow, ah... I'm burning!

  Ma-Ti : [runs over to examine his hands]  Fire ants! I can help you.

  [runs to grab a set of flowers, takes a stone and grinds them in a strip of tree bark, then runs back] 

  Ma-Ti : Wheeler, here. Try this.

  Wheeler : Wh-What's that? What're you doing?

  Ma-Ti : [moving his hand near the bark]  Relax. It will help the pain.

  [rubs the powder on then bandages his hand] 

  Wheeler : Thanks. That does feel better. Where'd you learn that?

  Ma-Ti : [grinning]  Oh, just something the silly old shaman taught me.

  Wheeler : [blushing]  Oh, yeah, him.

• Kwame : [Ma-Ti is piloting the Geocruisesr low between cliffs at high speed]  Have you ever done this before?

  Ma-Ti : Of course. Well, not really - once, on Hope Island, on the flight-simulator.

• Kwame : [the Geocruiser heads for a narrow stone-blockaded gap in between cliffs]  We are going through that?

  Ma-Ti : [causing him to turn aside]  I hope so! On the simulator... I never did make it.

• Ma-Ti : They're cutting down more rain forests, Captain Planet!

  Captain Planet : The world's rain forests are being destroyed at the rate of a football field a second!

  Gi : What can we do about it?

  Captain Planet : Don't use paper products that are only used once and thrown away.

  Gaia : You can recycle newspapers so that new trees won't have to be cut down to make wood pulp.

  Kwame : And stand beside the people who are standing up for our forests!

  Captain Planet : The power is yours!
