Scorched Earth (1992)

Joey Dedio: Wheeler

Quotes 

• Wheeler : Am I crazy, or is that a mermaid?

  Linka : I would not rule out the first possibility, but she does *look* like a mermaid.

• Ma-Ti : [the dugant takes off after something underwater activates]  What was that?

  Gi : [sighs]  Someone started up an oil-rig. Let's make like dugants and find a quieter place.

  Wheeler : [they surface to the raft and see the machine activating above]  Looks like there *is* no quieter place.

  Kwame : Unfortunately, soon there will be even *more* drilling-rigs here.

  Wheeler : Huh?

  [turns at a noise, it is a crowd on the beach chanting 'NO MORE DRILLING, NO MORE SPILLING"] 

  Wheeler : You sure about that?

• Baz : I demand to know, who is the ringleader of this protest?

  Gi : *We* demand to know how you can commit this crime against the Earth!

  Wheeler : You tell 'im, Gi!

  Baz : Commander Morgar was right! He warned me outsiders were undermining the...

  Beta : The environmental movement is totally homegrown, Baz. And *I* am its leader.

  Baz : Beta! Be quiet and leave Pasiva now. Morgar will not stop until someone turns you in.

  Beta : I will not abandon my work.

  Baz : A rebellious fool, just like your father!

  [leaves] 

  Ma-Ti : I am surprised he did not arrest you.

  Beta : I am his sister.

• Zarm : Well, well, Planeteers. What intriguing rings you wear.

  Kwame : They will be useless to you, Morgar. You do not understand their power.

  Zarm : That's where you're wrong, Kwame.

  [leave Morgar's body] 

  Zarm : I know exactly how to use them.

  Linka : Zarm!

  Wheeler : ZARM? What're you doing here?

  Zarm : You might say I'm the brains of this operation.

  Linka : What about Morgar?

  Zarm : Ha! The Supreme Commander? Just a body. Or, more precisely, a *no*body. He wanted to be a dictator. I helped him take over the country, and, who knows, maybe even the world.

• Beta : [he returns Gi's ring so she releases the Planeteers]  Our father would be proud.

  Kwame : But we still need our other rings.

  Baz : I'll distract Morgar while you get them.

  Wheeler : You're taking a big risk, General.

  Baz : [smiling]  That is my job.

• Gaia : [Planeteer Alert]  Today, our world's economy depends on increasingly scarce resources such as oil and other fossil fuel. Wars may even be fought over who controls them.

  Linka : It is important that we develop alternatives like clean solar power and other new technologies.

  Wheeler : But until these alternatives are available, we need to conserve the resources we have.

  Ma-Ti : And whenever possible, ride your bike.

  Gi : Or walk. It's healthy.

  Captain Planet : The power is yours!
