Whoopi Goldberg: Gaia

Quotes 

• Wheeler : All *right*! Life is Good but wind-surfing's great! AHH!

  [crashes] 

  Gaia : [appears]  Sorry to take the wind out of your sails, Wheeler, but we need you.

  Linka : [he arrives at the Crystal Chamber]  Wheeler, you are all wet - as usual.

  Wheeler : This better be good.

  Gaia : I'm afraid it's very bad.

  [turns on the Planet Vision] 

  Gaia : Argos Bleak is harpooning everything in sight that has a dorsal fin. That nurse shark is *not* a man-eater. It's *afraid* of people.

  Linka : [as he raises what he harpooned, sees the carcasses of others he already hung on the boat's side]  Apparently with good reason.

  Gaia : Those sharks weren't dangerous. And they don't stand a chance against Bleak's hunting gear.

  Wheeler : [sees another shark chomping on jellyfish]  Ugh! That ugly sucker has *got* to be a man-eater!

  Gaia : The goblin shark won't win any beauty contests, but it eats only small animals.

• Gaia : Humans are a much greater threat to sharks than sharks are to humans.

• Wheeler : All right, Gaia. But it feels kinda weird trying to save some bloodthirsty shark.

  Gaia : Bleak is bloodthirsty. A shark is just a predator like a wolf or a tiger. It keeps other animals from overpopulating. If you'd ever been stung by a stingray, you might *wish* there were more sharks.

• Gi : [at the first planeteer alert]  Earth is home to thousands of plant and animal species.

  Gaia : And that includes sharks. Like all predators, they can be dangerous, but they also help to keep our oceans healthy.

  Wheeler : And to keep yourself healthy, get out of the water if sharks are around.

  Ma-Ti : But do not panic. Rocksy motions attract sharks.

  Kwame : [putting a band-aid on his knee]  Blood also draws sharks. So do not go swimming if you have an open cut.

  Captain Planet : The power is yours!
