Quotes 

• Gi : What is that thing?

  Carlos : [it causes a motorcycle to appear before him]  Yes! That's exactly what I wanted!

  Kwame : Apparently, it is Aladdin's lamp.

  Linka : Yes. Except, this one appears to be plugged in.

  Gi : [sees one of its tubes burrow through the ground many times before settling in the water before the contents of what it starts to take drip mearby]  Aladdin's Lamp uses a lot of oil.

• Linka : [to the Dream Machine after Wheeler's request for a technologically-enhanced armchair is met]  Let's see how smart you really are. Make us a solar-powered Geocruiser... So, where is the genie of this lamp, ha?

  Kwame : Maybe you rubbed him the wrong way.

• Ma-Ti : What is happening to this place?

  Kwame : What always happens when people are not careful what they wish for.

• [last lines] 

  Kwame : [hefting the chair Wheeler gave the TV and video-camera to the villagers from]  And what do we do with this?

  Kwame , Wheeler , Ma-Ti : Recycle it!

• Kwame : [Planeteer Alert]  Remember that things you buy are not made out of thin air. For instance, this baseball bat...

  Linka : ...And these magazines...

  Kwame : ...Are made from trees.

  Gi : Plastic toys and plastic packages like these...

  Ma-Ti : ...Are made from oil. That means drilling.

  Wheeler : Even a hamburger has a hidden cost: the thousands of acres of land that are used to raise cattle.

  Gaia : So think before you buy. The money you pay is only part of what something really costs.

  Captain Planet : The power is yours!
