Quotes 

• Affirmi : Wait! Please, give half my food to my friend Kahlil at the other village!

  [runs off] 

  Kwame : I wish *he* was the village chief instead of his father.

• Yosef : Thank goodness you are alive, my son.

  Abu : [sinking to his knees clutching his shoulders]  Kahlil - I almost lost you.

  Yosef : [to Kwame]  How can I ever repay you?

  Abu : Yes, how?

  Kwame : By finally listening to what your sons tell you: stop this foolish war.

  Yosef : [clenching a fist]  Never!

  Kahlil : [gripping it with both hands]  Do you not understand? Looten Plunder tricked you by making you afraid of each other!

  Kwame : It is true, Yosef. Who told you that Abu was going to attack? Was it the same person who sold you arms?

  Yosef : [gasping]  Mr. Plunder!

  Abu : And, Abu, who told you that *Yosef* was planning to attack?

  Yosef : You are right. It *was* Plunder.

  Affirmi : Please, Papa, stop the war. Kahlil and I want us all to be friends again.

• [last lines] 

  Ma-Ti : [of the children playing in the drilled spring's water]  If people can be so happy sharing this good planet, why do they have to fight over it?

  Kwame : If everyone in the world was as smart as those two, wars would never happen.

• Captain Planet : Our world can be a place of peace, or a battlefield.

  Ma-Ti : Peace begins at home. Even your schoolyard can be a place for friendships...

  Linka : ...or a place for making enemies.

  Wheeler : Fighting isn't about being brave.

  Kwame : It is about being dumb.

  Captain Planet : Why fight when it's smarter to make friends?

  Gi : That way, everybody wins!

  Captain Planet : The power is yours!
