Captain Planet and the Planeteers1990

Kwame:
I was wrong. And Sludge was right; people just do not care.

Ma-Ti:
You must not say that. Captain Planet will deal with Sludge.

Kwame:
[sighs; morosely] Very well, Ma-Ti. Let out powers combine. Earth...

[his ring glows and hums weakly then dies down and emits smoke, he cries as the others stare in shock]

Gi:
Kwame, what's wrong?

Kwame:
I will *tell* you what is wrong! This problem is too big for even Captain Planet! It is hopeless.

Gaia:
[appearing] Kwame, you must not give up hope. That is the source of your root of powr.

Kwame:
Then it is too late, Gaia. How I can believe in people when they turn their own world into a trash-dump?

[removes his ring]

Kwame:
You must give this to someone else. It does not work for me anymore.

[tosses it in the air, it vanishes with a flash that briefly blocks Gaia's image before she is seen again, looking pained]
