- [first lines]
- Wheeler: Whoa. Talk about rock-and-roll. Good thing there aren't any people on that island.
- Gaia: But there *are* animals, and the fire and dust that meteor unleashed will kill them, unless you help.
- Linka: At least it does not threaten the entire planet.
- Gaia: I'm not so sure, Linka. I sense great, great danger.
- Kwame: Zarm - what we Planeteers *want* is to save the Earth.
- Zarm: Is not war the worst threat to Earth?
- Kwame: I suppose that is true.
- Zarm: [infecting them with his gaze] Well, I can show you how to eliminate all nuclear missiles.
- Linka: How?
- Zarm: Destroy them yourselves. You can begin with an army base on the mainland.
- [shows a vision of it]
- Gi: But do we have the right to destroy something like that?
- Zarm: Right? Ha! Might makes right; you must either conquer or be conquered.
- Gi: I do not want to be conquered...
- Ma-Ti: I wonder... If visitors ever arrive from other worlds, will they be like Zarm?
- Wheeler: I doubt it. If they can't learn how to live in peace, they'll blow themselves up *before* they get here.
- Gi: The important thing is, we should learn to live in peace on our *own* planet. That way, if travelers ever *do* come from space, they'll have a nice place to visit.
- [during the Planeteer Alert]
- Captain Planet: It isn't just grownups who help destroy our planet.
- Wheeler: Some kids do it with graffiti.
- Gi: [as we see a kid throw a rock at a window] Some kids do it with vandalism.
- Linka: And some do it when they don't stop to think.
- [a few kids are shown litering]
- Gaia: [standing on a flowing riverbank in a beautiful park] Earth can be like this
- [it changes to a barren wasteland]
- Gaia: or like this.
- Kwame: We can destroy it with our hate...
- Ma-Ti: ..or save it with our love.
- [the littering kids now throw their garbage in a trash can]
- Captain Planet: The power is yours.
- Captain Planet: [Using a tree trunk as a baseball bat] Captain Planet swings. Crack!
- [He hits Zarm's spacecraft, sending it flying out of Earth's atmosphere]
- Captain Planet: You made your planet a wasteland, Zarm. Now, go live there!
