The Big Clam-Up (1991)

Scott Menville: Ma-Ti

Quotes 

• Ma-Ti : Tiny here does not think we meet the club's dress code. I told him my friend is wearing a monkey-suit...

• Ma-Ti : [leafing through his book]  Ah, what would Dash Raymond do in a fix like this? Ah, yes, I remember - in Chapter One he called on a sergeant he knew from the force.

  Wheeler : Well, we can call on a Captain with plenty of force!

• Verminous Skumm : [as his followers remove metal cones from the ceiling]  Now our specials tonight are lobster-nitrate, served with fertilizer runoff, dry-cleaning-style clam-chowder...

  Wheeler : You can't make us eat!

  [one is stuffed in his mouth, the others get the same treatment] 

  Verminous Skumm : ...crabcakes fried in dirty wate-foil, and oysters heavy-metal, in a pesticide sauce. And for dessert, cherry ice-cream! Huh?

  [one of his henchmen shows up with something on a platter] 

  Verminous Skumm : Sorry, make that cherry-stone *clam* ice-cream. With toxic syrup! Eat hearty!

  Ma-Ti : [bangs open the door]  No, Skumm - *you* eat! Heart!

  [summons lobsters to attack] 

• Gi : [Planeteer Alert]  We all love to swim and fish and go boating.

  Kwame : So remember: the things that wash into our streets and gutters end up in our lakes and oceans.

  Linka : You can help stop runoff pollution by using natural fertilizers.

  Ma-Ti : Like grass clippings, manure, or mulch.

  Wheeler : Never dump motor oil or other chemicals down sewer drains. Recycle them instead.

  Captain Planet : And talk to your local authorities. They should be able to tell you how to safely dispose of toxic chemicals.

  [In his Bogart-like voice] 

  Captain Planet : The power is yours, kid.
