Janice Kawaye: Gi

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Ma-Ti : [a shark pursues him snorkeling, he leaps out of the water onto their raft, breathing heavily]  Heart!... Gi - you must get out of there!

  [jumps as she surfaces] 

  Ma-Ti : AAHH! You scared me!

  Gi : What's wrong, Ma-Ti?

  Ma-Ti : [points as it approaches from behind]  SHARK!

  Gi : [it swims next to her and she touches it]  Oh, Ma-Ti, it's just a basking shark. It only eats plankton.

  Ma-Ti : [it leaves, she finishes the swim toward the raft]  But it was following me!

  Gi : [tosses her scuba to him]  It was probably just curious.

  [climbing onto the raft] 

  Gi : It wouldn't attack you unless you were about - *this* big.

  [makes a gesture between her thumb and finger] 

  Ma-Ti : That is how small I feel.

• Gi : Ma-Ti, why didn't you just use your Heartpower to send the shark away?

  Ma-Ti : I do not know. I guess I was too scared to think straight.

  Gi : [amused]  Are you too scared to finish breakfast?

  Ma-Ti : Gi - I thought I *was* breakfast. It is not every day I run into a 40-foot shark.

  [a nearby patron gasps and runs to tell another] 

  Ma-Ti : ...even if it was not a man-eater.

• Gi : Funny thing is, you're about ten times more likely to get killed by a falling airplane-part than by a shark.

• Gi : You can't turn Bleak loose on that basking shark! It's harmless!

  Ma-Ti : And sharks have a place in nature.

  Argos Bleak : [jumps from his boat to the dock laughing]  Sharks have a place, all right - over my mantlepiece, stuffed and mounted!

• Gi : [after the crowd kicks her out for opposing Bleak, stands on a dock post]  You can't wipe out sharks or any other animal without messing up the balance of nature!

  Argos Bleak : [strides over]  I'll mess up *your* balance, shark-lover!

  [shoves her, she falls into the water] 

• Argos Bleak : [seeking the creature first reported]  Nothing. Maybe those yokels made it up. Maybe there is no giant killer shark.

  Ma-Ti : [whispering in the covered lifeboat in the back of the boat]  Maybe Bleak will give up the hunt.

  Gi : Right. And maybe nuclear waste will be good for your health.

• 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!
