02x39 - The Secret of Grayskull

[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!

Hey, someone's putting on a fireworks show! Yippee!

Not so fast, Orko.

Those fireworks are coming from Snake Mountain.

[Orko] Gosh! They're changing into spiders!

Not really.

Skeletor's cast a spell on those fireworks.

My sword has never rung truer.

I'll try to keep up with you, Father.

Hmm, let's see. What was that rainmaking spell?

Was it, "Raining buckets all around,

making puddles on the ground"?

Uh-oh. That's not it.

Orko, for once,

would you please keep out of our way?

Sorry.

There! All gone.

And not a moment too soon.

This is getting serious.

Duncan, bring out your new fire shuttle.

I've got to make a few adjustments,

but I'm on my way.

I'd better lend him a hand, Father.

Not another step, Cringer. Stick around.

Oh, b-but s-spiders... bug me.

By the power of Grayskull!

♪ He-Man!

♪ He-Man!

-♪ He-Man! -I have the power!

Wish I could talk the queen

into getting Adam a new pet.

♪ He-Man!

[roaring]

♪ He-Man!

[Man-At-Arms groaning]

Gee, did you hurt yourself?

[groans] What does it look like?

Well, looks like you hurt yourself.

Well that's very good, Orko. Now leave me alone. I've got work to do.

Uh, but-but...

Come on, Cat. Let's teach Skeletor

it's not smart to play with fire.

[roaring]

-[Battle Cat roars] -He-Man!

Suppose we just rain on their parade.

By the power of Grayskull.

If the power sword can make this water boil,

we should get steam.

Now that steam should form a cloud.

There.

[lasers blasting]

[Skeletor] Rats! That fire shuttle is destroying all of my creations.

I want Eternia. All of it! The entire universe!

And I'm not one step closer than the day I started.

Nobody likes me. I just get in everybody's way.

[Skeletor] Fascinating.

that little insect Orko is feeling sorry for himself.

Gosh, I wish this was a magic lamp.

[Skeletor] A magic lamp?

Fool! But wait.

Maybe I can use this to my advantage.

[evil laughter]

If it was magic, I could rub it like this...

[Skeletor's voice] Greetings, little master.

Oh, wow. It worked!

Your wish is my command.

Oh, boy! Just like in my storybook!

No fooling? Can I wish for anything?

Oh uh, you wish, and then we'll see what happens.

What'll it be? The usual? Power? Riches?

On, no, Mr. Genie, nothing like that.

I just want my friends to like me. That's what I wish for.

Impossible. Your friends only keep you around

because it amuses them to have a pet.

-That's not true, is it? -Suit yourself.

But be honest. Wouldn't everyone

be much better off if you had never come to Eternia?

Well, sometimes they make me feel like I'm not really wanted.

-Take charge. Do something about it. -Like what?

Don't tell me you've already forgotten about the dimension portal.

The dimension portal?

Now you're talking.

Step right up, little master.

It's a pleasure to serve someone smart enough

to know his friends don't really want him here.

[Orko] Well, I know Man-At-Arms would be glad to see me gone.

Boy, do I make his life miserable.

So here's your big chance.

Step right in, and we'll have you home in a jiffy.

Home, to where you're loved and wanted.

I guess home is where I belong.

Well, goodbye, everybody. I sure had a real nice time.

Sorry I messed things up.

[screeches]

Get back here, you!

Zoar, what are you doing?

[screeching]

Gee, Sorceress, why did you have to stop me?

Me and my genie had everything fixed up perfectly.

Your genie was not what you think.

Well, what's the difference? Nobody around here cares.

You're wrong, Orko.

Your friends love you.

They'd be heartbroken if you left.

Man-At-Arms wouldn't. He sure gets angry at me sometimes.

Oh, Orko, do you really believe

if someone is angry with you

it means he doesn't love you?

I-I guess so.

Oh. [chuckles] Oh, no.

Let me show you how wrong you are.

Do you remember

the first time you did your egg trick?

Steel tray, fly away.

♪ Ta-da!

-Bravo! -That's great, Orko!

Orko!

Uh-oh.

Now for my next trick. [chuckles]

The only trick we want to see is you disappearing.

Sorry.

Sorry isn't good enough, Orko.

You go up to your room and stay there

until you had time to think about being more careful.

Yes, Man-At-Arms.

I hate to punish him,

but he does have to learn to be more careful.

Sure. But have you ever wondered what life would be like

around here without the little guy to cheer us up?

[chuckles] I don't even want to imagine it.

You know, I'm sure if it weren't for Orko,

I never would've learned to laugh at myself.

Well, Orko, do you still feel that because

Man-At-Arms punished you that he doesn't love you?

Gosh, Sorceress, I didn't know he said that.

But even so, there were a lot of other times.

So, you're still not convinced?

-I guess not. -Then watch.

Remember the first day you arrived here?

[Sorceress] It was very brave of you to rescue Adam.

You performed a service to all Eternia that day.

So you see, Orko,

without you, there would be no He-Man.

I shudder to think of having to battle Skeletor alone for all these years.

Wow! I guess I really am important.

Well, maybe my friends really do like me.

Orko, each one of us is important.

All our lives touch each other's,

sometimes changing things in ways we often don't know about.

I wish my genie had told me all of this.

That wasn't a genie, Orko.

That was Skeletor.

Skeletor? Wow!

Thanks, Sorceress! Thanks for everything.

Boy, this sure has been a day

for finding out who my friends are.

[Skeletor] And who they are not.

[evil laughter]

Y-Yikes!

You lied to me, Skeletor. My friends do like me.

Something they'll soon regret after you've betrayed them all.

[evil laughter]

Never!

The secret of Grayskull-- what do you know about it?

No one knows the secret of Grayskull.

An oversight I intend to correct.

Tell me, how do I get past the jaw bridge?

Not on your life, Skeletor. I won't tell, ever!

A truth spell will loosen your tongue.

Sleepy, Orko?

Sleepy, sleepy.

Gone.

How do I enter Grayskull?

You must answer jaw bridge's riddle.

Oh, I'm horrible at riddles!

Who's good at riddles here?

-Uh, riddles? Not me. -Not me, boss.

Ah! Throw this insect into the dungeon star,

then follow me to Castle Grayskull.

Jaw bridge, tell me a riddle.

What goes through this door,

yet never enters or ever leaves

Castle Grayskull? [chuckles]

Wake up, you! Give me the answer, quick!

The keyhole goes through the door.

It never enters,

and it never leaves Grayskull.

Of course!

The keyhole goes through! Now, open up.

Enter.

Finally, Grayskull and its secrets are open to me.

Nothing can stop me now.

Skeletor! Wh-What's that?

Stop, Skeletor.

I don't know how you managed to open the jaw bridge,

but you still can't get into Grayskull without facing me.

It's the Sorceress! We'd better get out of here.

Stand your ground, you crab-faced coward! She can't do anything to us.

I knew you were a villain, Skeletor,

but I never knew you were such a fool.

She's going to cast a spell!

Take a peek above me

before you cast that spell, my dear.

Orko!

Don't worry about me, Sorceress. Blast 'em good!

Try it, and I'll launch that little pest

to a galaxy from which he'll never return.

What do you want for Orko's freedom?

Take me into Grayskull

and reveal its secrets to me.

No, don't! He'll conquer Eternia if you give him the secrets!

All right, Skeletor,

but if anything happens to Orko,

you will be very, very sorry.

I'll be glad to free him once I have the secrets.

Why not free him now?

I have agreed to what you want.

Not just yet, Sorceress.

And while we're at it, chain her up, Kobra Kahn.

I want no tricks while we're in the castle.

[telepathically] Prince Adam, can you hear me?

Prince Adam, are you there?

Yes, Sorceress, I hear you.

He-Man is needed at Castle Grayskull immediately.

Skeletor has captured Orko

and is trying to force me to reveal my secrets to him.

Stall him as long as you can. I'm on the way.

Ohh!

By the power of Grayskull!

♪ He-Man!

♪ He-Man!

-I have the power! -♪ He-Man!

[roaring]

♪ He-Man!

[Trap-Jaw] One push of this button, and zoom!

You're off to another galaxy, twit.

At least I wouldn't have to look at your ugly faces.

Do it, Trappy, do it. Let's see the little guy fly.

Uh-oh. Orko's in big trouble.

Well are you going to launch him or not?

Think I should? Well, Skeletor promised the Sorceress.

Skeletor never keeps his word. You know that.

Oh, you're right. Okay, shrimp, say goodbye!

Orko!

Let go, He-Man!

Let go before we're too far up.!

I think we're already too far up.

What a break! We've sent He-Man to the other galaxy too!

Oh, Skeletor sure will be pleased.

-[screams] -Uh-oh, He-Man's cat.

[roaring]

I'm sorry. I've messed up everything.

We're not gone yet, little buddy.

Remember how you used to help me fly when I was a boy?

You mean the old parachute trick?

That's the one. Think you can do it again?

-If you can get me out of this bubble. -No problem.

All right, He-Man, get a grip.

-I'm ready. -Then let's jump.

Yahoo!

Sorceress, this is He-Man.

[He-Man] Can you hear me?

[telepathically] I hear you, He-Man.

Have you freed Orko?

[He-Man] Yes. Don't let Skeletor see anything else.

-We're on the way. -Don't trouble yourself.

Inside, Grayskull, I'm more than a match for Skeletor.

You wish to see the power of Grayskull?

Well, feast your eyes, Skeletor.

She's free!

Beware, Sorceress.

I can still signal my men

to blast your little friend into space.

-[Trap-Jaw] Skeletor! -What are you two doing here?

You're supposed to be watching Orko.

Trap-Jaw already launched him.

Uh, Clawful told me to do it.

No, I didn't.

-Yes, you did. -[Skeletor] You fools!

Castle Grayskull, hear my command.

Expel these villains from your walls.

Skeletor, we must flee!

Nonsense. My magic will fix the Sorceress.

[roaring]

On the other hand, fleeing sounds like a terrific idea.

Let me help you along, Skeletor.

[all shouting]

Where's the door?

[snarling]

[shouting]

Aha! This must be the way out.

[roaring]

Oh, no! It can't be.

I hate this place!

Well, Skeletor,

have you enjoyed your little visit here?

Let me out of here, you goody-goody witch, you!

My pleasure.

No!

In the future, perhaps you'll think twice

before trying to inv*de my home.

As for now, goodbye.

[all exclaiming]

The jaw bridge-- it's opening!

[all shouting]

[shouting continues]

-[crash] -Wow!

Ah! Ah! What idiot started this whole thing, anyway?

[all] You did.

I did not.

You did too!

I did not!

Well, it looks like the Sorceress taught Skeletor a good lesson.

Yes, He-Man. The secrets of Grayskull are safe.

And what's even more important,

so is Orko.

Well, farewell for now, dear friends.

Thanks, Sorceress.

You know, He-Man, I've learned a lesson too.

From now on, I'm never gonna doubt

that my friends really do like me,

even when it doesn't seem that way.

That's good thinking, Orko.

And watching the Sorceress has given me an idea

for a great magic trick too, one even Man-At-Arms would like.

Now let's get right back to the palace so I can show it to him.

Haven't you had enough trouble for one day, little buddy?

Huh? Oh, I get it.

A joke. [laughing]

[all laughing]

Sometimes when your parents punish you,

you may think they don't love you.

Well, that isn't true.

They don't punish to be mean but to teach you.

They hope you'll remember the punishment

and not do wrong in the future.

If I didn't love Orko, I wouldn't care what he did.

I'm glad Man-At-Arms cares enough to correct me when I do wrong.

How else am I going to learn?

I know he loves me, even if he doesn't say it all the time.

Yeah, well, it's, uh, it's time to go.

Bye!
