02x38 - The Good Shall Survive

Post by bunniefuu »

♪ He-Man!

[Adam] And the Masters of the Universe!

I am Adam, prince of Eternia

and defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull.

This is Cringer, my fearless friend.

Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me

the day I held aloft my magic sword and said,

"By the power of Grayskull!"

♪ He-Man!

I have the power!

[roaring]

Cringer became the mighty Battle Cat,

and I became He-Man,

the most powerful man in the universe!

Only three others share this secret:

our friends the Sorceress, Man-At-Arms, and Orko.

Together we defend Castle Grayskull

from the evil forces of Skeletor.

♪ He-Man!

Only a few more containers to go,

and we'll be finished for the season.

Oh. That's the last honey container.

Good work, everybody. This harvest of honey

will last our colony all winter.

Buzz-Off will be very proud of our work. Let's go home.

Oh, free! Free at last!

[crashing]

[slurping]

Who are they?

Tycons.

But-But I thought Tycons were extinct.

Uh, I think someone forgot to tell them.

Uh-oh. I think we're in trouble.

-[crash] -Ah, good honey.

Wh-What are we gonna do?

-They're eating all our honey. -More honey, more honey.

I think we'd better get out of here

before we become dessert.

Come on!

We want honey!

[all chanting] We want honey! We want honey!

[applause]

Thank you. Thank you.

That was a neat trick, Orko.

Now show us your new transporting trick.

Make this flower go from my hand to someplace else.

Hmm. I'll try.

Maybe this time it'll work.

With a flower of beauty in Tike's little hand,

go to the urn on my command.

Oops. I guess I used a little too much command.

Help! Let me out of here! Ooh!

[chuckles] Sorry about that, little pal.

[buzzing]

-Tycons are coming. -They ate our whole harvest of honey.

Where are they now?

They're coming this way, looking for more honey.

Oh, w-we gotta get to the palace.

Good idea, Orko.

I'll take our people to the safety of the high caves.

You must go back to tell Buzz-Off and the others.

But-But I can't float as fast as they can fly.

Bzz! Orko, Orko.

Try your transporting trick.

Maybe it will work this time.

Oh, I don't know.

You must try. It's our only hope.

Uh-oh. Here they come.

[buzzing]

[sniffing]

Ah, more honey this way!

Ah! Tycons! How can that be?

Perhaps we can use their services.

But how?

If we promise them all the food in the palace

as a reward for their help...

Then all the food in the Eternia warehouse will be eaten.

Exactly. And the king will be forced to hand over

the secrets to Castle Grayskull, or the kingdom will starve.

And for now, I am going to the Evergreen Forest

to meet our new friends.

[evil laughter]

Hurry, Orko. There isn't much time.

I'm trying! I'm trying!

I close my eyes tightly, I clench my fist strong.

Let me go to the palace. Let nothing go wrong.

Ah, phooey! Let me try...

He did it! Orko did it.

They're getting closer.

Let's hope the rest of Orko's trick works.

We don't have much time.

We may have to defend the colony alone.

-Are you ready? -[all] Yes, sir!

Gentlemen-- and ladies--

we are gathered here in honor

of our new ally and friend, Buzz-Off.

[King Randor] Orko!

Uh, s-sorry about the intrusion, Your Majesty. [nervous chuckle]

Orko, this is no time for your childish tricks.

We thought you were at the bee colony.

I was. I used this trick to get back as fast as I could.

Something's wrong. What is it?

Tycons. Big Tycons.

Bzz! I didn't think there were any left.

Are you sure?

Absolutely. They already ate the honey harvest,

and now they're on their way toward the colony.

Hmm. They probably smell more honey in the colony.

They must eat several times their body weight just to survive.

Father, I'll find He-Man.

In the meantime, Duncan and Teela can go with Buzz-Off to the colony.

Good idea, Adam.

Oh! Did I hear Adam say "He-Man"?

[He-Man] Come on, Cringe.

-We've got a job to do, old buddy. -Here we go again.

Why me?

♪ He-Man!

You'll make better time coming with us, Buzz-Off.

Okay, old buddy, I think it's time to make our change.

Why is it I never like this part?

By the power of Grayskull!

♪ He-Man!

♪ He-Man!

♪ He-Man!

I have the power!

♪ He-Man!

[roaring]

Let's go, Battle Cat. We must hurry.

[roars]

♪ He-Man!

Yuck! We must find more honey soon, Tycor.

Did I hear someone say, "more honey"?

Who are you?

I, uh, I'm Skeletor, your friend.

I know where you can find more honey.

Honey? You have more honey?

I can get you all the honey you want,

but I'll need your help.

Ah, anything for more honey.

Come with me, my friends.

[buzzing]

[exclaims]

♪ He-Man!

I'll make a couple of dial adjustments for a surveillance scan.

There they are! And Skeletor is leading them!

[bee] What are we going to do, sir?

That's the entire kingdom's honey supply.

We must defend it as best we can

and hope Orko made it to the palace.

Come.

Bzz! Our soldiers sure are brave!

And unselfish, little one.

Will I be brave and unselfish when I grow up?

If you want to be.

That will be your choice, Tike.

I choose to help, now.

[buzzing]

[Skeletor] This and much more is yours, Tycor.

[exclaims]

Out of our way!

[shouting]

Move.

Honey? Ours.

[evil laughter] Honey yours, kingdom mine,

Once we take the king's warehouse.

You're not match for the Tycons, you puny little...

[He-Man] How about trying me on for size?

Ah! He-Man!

[roaring]

I should have known you'd be in on this, Skeletor.

Out of my way, Skeletor.

Now!

-[exclaims] -[crash]

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Who are you?

I'm He-Man, and those honeycombs belong to the people of Eternia.

We take the honey anyway.

No. These do not belong to you.

[grunting]

[snarls] Now it's my turn!

Look out, Cat. That stinger won't hurt you,

but it'll put you to sleep for a while.

[snarls] We'll see about that.

[roars]

Oh, no! He-Man!

He's waking up.

[mumbling]

What happened?

You were hit by Tycor's sleep stinger.

The Tycons-- where are they now?

[Teela] We don't know where those horrible creatures have gone.

Now, Teela, don't be too hasty.

They may not be as bad as they seem.

What do you mean, Father?

Remember, these creatures are from Eternia's ancient past.

They're almost extinct. Just a few left.

They're just trying to keep alive,

And the only way they know is to take.

Bzz! Maybe if we could get them away from Skeletor,

we can teach them to give and cooperate instead.

Right. But first we've got to find them.

-Where would they go? -[Tike] I know.

I heard Skeletor say they were going to att*ck the king's warehouse.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Yes, the palace warehouse, where the food is stored.

Battle Cat and I will meet you there.

Thanks for the help.

Anytime He-Man.

[roaring]

♪ He-Man!

It looks as if we're too late.

Look! They even ate my special

baking-soda pie I made for the king and queen.

[both] Baking-soda pie?

Yeah, see?

Here's the recipe.

[Teela] Orko, that's baker's supreme pie,

not baking-soda pie.

I think I read it wrong. [chuckles]

Your mistake just may be in our favor, Orko.

How do you mean, He-Man?

[He-Man] Too much baking soda can make you sick.

If the Tycons ate that baking-soda pie,

they're going to have one big stomachache.

Duncan, you and Buzz-Off follow me in the Wind Raider.

I have a hunch the Tycons are back at the cavern.

[thunder crashes]

Now that the Tycons have eaten all the food

stored in the king's warehouse,

it won't be long before the king will come

begging me to feed his kingdom!

[evil laughter]

But it will cost him

the secrets to Castle Grayskull.

What about the Tycons?

As sick as they are, I don't think

they'll want anything for a long time.

[evil laughter]

[both laughing evilly]

[He-Man] Sounds like someone's in trouble.

[groaning]

It's coming from over there.

[groaning continues]

Well, what do we have here?

[exclaims]

Sorry to spoil your fun.

We want to help your comrades.

No one helps Tycons except Skeletor,

but then he makes us sick.

Sick, sick, sick.

Everyone else thinks Tycons are bad.

We don't think you're bad.

You just haven't been given a chance to be good.

Besides, it's more fun to make friends than enemies.

How about it? You know, you just might living a peaceful life.

Tycons are tired of always fighting.

Not many of us are left now. We want friends.

And we're glad to have you as our friends.

But-But right now,

I'd better see to the Tycons' stomachaches.

Good idea, Duncan.

-I want to help, He-Man. -All right.

Thanks. I think I know just how you can help.

Duncan, while you're looking after the others,

Tycor, Buzz and I are going to make a visit to Skeletor.

Very well. We'll be all right.

Is everything ready?

[both] Yes, Skeletor.

[Skeletor] Good. The king will have to beg me

for food to feed his kingdom.

He will come to me on his knees!

I can't wait to see He-Man's face when...

-[He-Man] Why wait, Skeletor? -He-Man!

Yes, and I brought along one of your old friends.

Tycor!

But I thought, uh...

I'm afraid your little trick has backfired, Skeletor.

I've still won, He-Man.

The king must still get food from me now.

Imagine paying to buy back your own food. [chuckles]

You can't sell what isn't yours, Skeletor.

We're taking back the rest of the food you stole.

You won't stop me this time, He-Man.

[He-Man] Look out!

Good block, Buzz.

You can't block them all. Try two at a time!

[evil laughter]

These two are mine!

That was pretty fine, Tycor. I'm glad you're on our side.

Stop them, you fools!

You'll have to do better than that.

How about a little sleeping gas?

[Tycor] Not this time!

[grunts]

[He-Man] Your evil gas doesn't work on Tycons.

Well, I think you two look better as planters, don't you, Tycor?

[laughing]

My staff-- Where's my staff?

[cries out]

What are you going to do?

Get me out!

I don't know, Skeletor. You look pretty good as a planter too.

[buzzing laughter]

[laughing]

We'll just go grab a few things from your food locker

to replace the kingdom's food supply.

[Skeletor] But you can't just leave us here!

I'm sure someone will get you out, sooner or later.

Come back! You can't get away with this.

But I am, Skeletor.

See you later.

[King Randor] Thank you, He-Man.

The kingdom owes you a debt of gratitude.

Don't thank me, Your Highness.

It's Tycor to whom we owe our gratitude.

[gasps]

Oh, He-Man taught us about caring for others,

and that it's more fun to give than take.

And the kingdom has made new friends.

Tycor, how would you like to be the new guard of the honeycomb fields?

Sounds like a great idea.

You would trust us to guard what we took?

Of course, Tycor. You see,

real friendships are built on trust.

We would be most honored, Your Highness.

[gasps]

And as for you...

Bzz! Yes, Your Majesty?

You will be the honorary guard of the honeycomb fields.

Really? Wow! Thanks!

-This calls for a celebration. -[Orko] Did I hear celebration?

I spent all day baking

my dumpling recipe just for an occasion like this.

Are you sure you read this recipe right, Orko?

Yes, Teela. This time I read it three times.

All right, everybody, dig in!

-Orko! The dumplings! -Uh-oh. [nervous chuckle]

Look out! I think it's going to explode!

Oh, no! Stop! Go back down!

[chuckles] Save the recipe, Orko.

Maybe we can use your pies next Fourth of July.

[all laughing]

We learned today that there are right ways

and wrong ways of getting what you want.

If someone has something you want-- say, a toy

you'd like to play with or maybe some candy or cake--

don't just take it-- that's stealing-- and chances are

you'll only bring out the anger in the other person.

But if you ask rather than take,

or if it's yours, offer to share,

you'll get back more than you give.

Like maybe even a new friend. Right, Orko?

[chuckles] See you next time.
