- 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: The quake hit hardest in Santa Teresa, a small farming-village just north of here. At least... it *used* to be a village.
- Wheeler: [eluding the doctors] No, thanks, guys. I don't wear white jackets. A bit too straight for me.
- Wheeler: Good, I lost 'em. Only trouble is, I'm lost too.
- Teresa: [from behind] Lost again, Wheeler? I told you you'd be lost without me.
- Wheeler: Who're you?
- Teresa: Of course. Why should a rich tourista like you remember a poor little nobody like me?
- [turns to leave]
- Wheeler: [grabs her shoulder] Please, wait. I'm sorry. I don't remember *anything* since I hit my head. What was it you called me?
- Teresa: You were right before. I did dream of becoming a doctor once.
- Wheeler: You still *can*, Teresa.
- Teresa: How can you think about things like that when you're hungry? Oh, Wheeler...
- [leans against him]
- Teresa: It's just a twist of fate.
- Paco: [to Wheeler, who doesn't know him after his second blow to the head] Amigo, if I were you, I would start wearing a helmet.
- Luisa: No shores, amigo? Well, at least I found something *you* can use. They took away they man who slept in the park. They said that *he* would not need these shoes anymore. But I think they would fit our unlucky young friend.
- Linka: Oh, Wheeler, where *are* you?
- Wheeler: [running up] Right behind ya, beautiful.
- Linka: Wheeler! Where have you been?
- Wheeler: A walked a lot of miles in someone else's shoes.
- Linka: But...
- Wheeler: I'll tell you all about it later. But first we gotta put out that fire and save the girl who saved *my* life.
- Thug: There's that girl and the firebug! Let's get 'em!
- Captain Planet: Oh, you wanna see a firebug, huh? Hey, he can't hold a *candle* to me...
- [engulfs himself in flame; the thugs scream and run]
- Captain Planet: Boy, you try to give people what they want...
- Kwame: [gesturing to the fountain] And you did, Captain Planet!
- 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!
