Scott Menville: Ma-Ti

Quotes 

• 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 : [his followern chain the Planeteers in a flooding cell, except Gi who is in a cell above them]  Look how they do my bidding, eh? They follow me because, deep down, humans *love* destruction.

  Gi : You're wrong!

  Ma-Ti : Well, if I am, you tell me where that ring is. Otherwise, you can watch the demise of your friends.

  Ma-Ti : Do not tell him, Gi!

  Zarm : How ironic that the first to slip under the water will be little Ma-Ti.

• 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!
