Scott Menville: Ma-Ti

Quotes 

• Wheeler : Man, the air here is so fresh. You know what I'd be doing right now if I was in New York?

  Ma-Ti : Visiting the tall buildings? Seeing the bright lights?

  Wheeler : Sweating, choking on smog.

  Ma-Ti : And think how much worse the planet would be without the forest to cool and clean the air.

  [Suchi runs over and cackles excitedly, waving his arms frantically] 

  Ma-Ti : What is it, Suchi?

  Wheeler : [they turn in the direction he gestures in]  Uh-oh - smoke! This place is starting to *look* like New York!

• Ma-Ti : The forest gives life to the Indians. You will only be able to farm it for a few years before the soil gives out.

  Developer : So? Who cares? Then we just move on.

  [they lower their torches toward the trees] 

  Wheeler : Fire!

  [his ring causes the sticks to burn to ash in the men's hands] 

  Developer : Uh... on second thought, maybe we should move on now!

• Ma-Ti : Baron Giftus! I must warn you about that man, Argos Bleak. I know him, and he is evil.

  Looten Plunder : [disguised]  Don't worry, Ma-Ti. I won't let him cause any harm.

  [walks off, Ma-Ti starts to go in the opposite direction but stops and gasps] 

  Ma-Ti : How could he know my name? We have never met. Or have we?

• Looten Plunder : [spraying him with smog]  What's the matter, Cap? You look exhausted.

  [laughs] 

  Ma-Ti : No! Stop!

  Looten Plunder : [Suchi jabs a wrench into the machinery, stopping the smoke-release]  Uh-ohhhh...

  Captain Planet : [stands and starts to run at Plunder]  Now that's what I call throwing a monkey-wrench into his plans. Hey, thanks, Suchi.

• Kwame : [at the Planeteer Alert]  Forests and plants are the air conditioners of our planet. They help regulate temperature and humidity, as well as keep the air clean.

  Linka : So plant a tree or start a garden in your back yard.

  Ma-Ti : Or grow potted plants in your house.

  Wheeler : All it takes is a little work, sunlight, and...

  Gi : Water!

  [uses her ring to wet the garden, and plants start to sprout] 

  Captain Planet : [placing trees in the yard]  The power is yours!
