- [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]
- 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.
- 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.
- Argos Bleak: [trapping Ma-Ti and Gi in a net] The catch of the day is Planeteer, an annoying oceanic pest.
- Wheeler: [trapped inside the sunken flooding Geocruiser] Kwame, it's been great knowin' ya. Linka, how 'bout a goodbye kiss?
- Linka: Wheeler, you have a one-track mind. But under the circumstances...
- [they lean in]
- Kwame: We are forgetting simple physics! When the cockpit fills with water the pressure will equalize!
- Linka: And then we can open the door! Kwame, you have saved us!
- [she turns around and moves aside; Wheeler leans forward toward nothing and his head drops below water]
- Wheeler: [resurfaces] Yeah. Thanks a lot. You could've waited another five seconds.
- Argos Bleak: Ah, chum. A tasty blend of fish-parts and blood. Perfect for drawing sharks. And you two... you'll be my little chums as well, won't you?
- Argos Bleak: [Wheeler uses Fire to break the harpoon rope to the boat off the basking shark] I'll get you next, Planet punks!
- [aims the harpoon]
- Kwame: Your chances of that are bleak, Argos.
- Captain Planet: Why don't you pick on someone your own size, Bleak?
- Argos Bleak: [shoots the harpoon] Eat cold steel, Planet!
- Captain Planet: [catches it] Uh - sorry, I'm on a diet.
- Argos Bleak: [knocked overboard near the shark] AHH! Get away! Somebody help me! Don't let it hurt me!
- Captain Planet: [flying down] Well, I'd hate to see that poor blue shark get indigestion...
- Argos Bleak: [rescued from the blue-shark] Aren't you gonna kill that predatory monster?
- Captain Planet: I'm letting *you* live, so why don't *you* live and *let* live?
- 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!
