Captain Planet and the Planeteers (TV Series)

A Twist of Fate (1992)

Scott Menville: Ma-Ti

Quotes 

• Gi : [afer he bursts back onto the Ecocopter]  Did you get anything?

  Wheeler : Yeah, I got the creeps! I never saw so many poor people in my life! Why don't they get real jobs and get off the street?

  Kwame : There is not enough work in the city for everyone.

  Ma-Ti : Do not be so quick to judge them, Wheeler. You have never been poor.

  Gaia : [appears]  Ma-Ti is right, Wheeler. Except for a twist of fate, you might be in the shoes of that man you stumbled over.

  Wheeler : Aw, c'mon. I'd never let myself sink *that* low, Gaia.

  [everyone yells as the ground rumbles, he falls back with Ma-Ti and Kwame] 

  Wheeler : OK, OK. You don't have to get mad.

  Gaia : When I *do* get mad, you'll know it. But that wasn't me.

• Gaia : [during the Planeteer Alert]  People are poor for a lot of different reasons. So don't judge them until you've walked in their shoes.

  Ma-Ti : You can help the less fortunate by donating things that they can use.

  Linka : A big portion of the poor are children under twelve.

  Gi : They need blankets, food, clothing, and old toys in good condition.

  Wheeler : So do your part. Give usable items to your local charity.

  Captain Planet : It's another way of recycling. The power is yours!
