Joey Dedio: Wheeler

Quotes 

• Wheeler : Hey, if you were trying to impress a babe, Ma-Ti, what would you get her for her birthday?

  Ma-Ti : [grinning]  You speak of Linka, my friend?

  Wheeler : No. Yeah. Well, maybe you could tune into her mind and see what that brusky babe would like

  Gaia : [Gaia appears from behind, they turn to face her]  To the Crystal Chamber, Planeteers. We have an eco-emergency.

  [disappears, Ma-Ti turns back to face the way they sail] 

  Wheeler : [concentrating on moving the board to increase speed]  C'mon, Ma-Ti. When the Spirit of Earth calls, we gotta boogie.

  [finally turns around...] 

  Ma-Ti : Wheeler - be careful with the sail!

  [he then Wheeler fall off and underwater, then grab the surf and glance to shore] 

  Linka : [laughs]  Come, my wet-head comrades. We must hurry.

  Ma-Ti : [regains his hat]  However you decide to impress Linka, that was not the way to do it.

• Wheeler : Yo, Ma-Ti - this going to Africa gives me an awesome idea for Linka's present.

  Ma-Ti : Worry about a job we must do, not about impressing babes.

  Wheeler : Who's worried? She'll be impressed. What chick wouldn't flip for an ivory necklace?

  Kwame : [overhearing]  Are you *crazy*, Wheeler?

  Wheeler : Yeah, like a fox. Everyone knows Africa's the best place to get ivory real cheap.

  Kwame : Cheap? Are you kidding?

  [everyone yells as the Geocruiser suddenly plunges] 

  Gi : Hang on. I'm taking us down. I've just spotted two of Looten Plunder's henchmen attacking a herd of elephants.

  Kwame : Wheeler, you are about to find out how much ivory *really* costs.

• Captain Planet : I'd love to stay and shoot the breeze, gang, but I've got to take these elephants to safety and then return to the earth.

  [engulfs the elephants in his wind form] 

  Wheeler : But what if we need you again?

  Captain Planet : [of their rings]  Just give me a ring; I'll be ready.

• Wheeler : [Kwame creates a divide in the land to sink the Snatcher vehicle]  That'd sure be handy in New York traffic.

• Wheeler : Let us out, or I'll fry you like the scrawny chicken you are!

• [last lines] 

  Wheeler : Gosh, Linka, we've been so busy I didn't get a chance to buy you something for your birthday. Sorry, babe.

  Linka : Seeing Sneezer and her mother back together is the best present I could get.

  Wheeler : In America, when you get a present, you have to give back kisses.

  Linka : In Soviet Union, when boys give you fast moves, you give back fast "nyet".

  Kwame : [laughs]  Well, Wheeler, as you Americans say, you can kiss that idea goodbye!

  [everyone else laughs, after a moment so does he]
