Gi, check your solar batteries.
Kwame, are all switches working?
Yes, Linka.
When you look up "perfectionist" in the dictionary,
it has Linka's picture.
Wheeler, make sure the bolts are not loosening up.
I know someone who could use a loosening up.
I heard that, Wheeler.
Ma-Ti, double-check all his bolts.
Oh, man.
Okay, is everybody ready for takeoff?
Oh, no! Linka, I forgot to put the wings back on.
Very funny.
I think it is good thing we're all taking a little vacation.
Da! I will see my Uncle at Soviet embassy in Washington.
I have missed my cousin Boris.
He is charming.
Okay, Linka. One of us will pick you up in a week.

Oh, Uncle Dmitri, it is so good to see you.
And where is my favorite cousin, huh?
Boris, come see who is here!
Linka.
Boris!
Are you all right?
[ Russian accent ] I, uh... I'm just getting over a cold.
Get dressed, and I will make Linka my famous blintzes
for breakfast.
And, Boris, for once, please comb your hair.
Boris worries me. [ Swallows ]
He is moody, does nothing but stay out late.
And I never meet his friends.
Linka, you two were always close.
Perhaps you could talk to him.
Well, I...
Ta-da!
For my mega-cool cousin, I combed my hair.
Boris! When did you get that cut?
Uh, last week. It is nothing.
It looks like something to me.
Here, you put this on while I finish the blintzes.
Guess I was thinking too hard.
Boris, stop clowning.
Yes, Sergeant Linka.
Boris, the alcohol!
Aah!
I will get the extinguisher.

Use baking soda.

Well, there's only one way we can have blintzes now.
I hope the blintzes at the Russian café
are not quite so well done.

Linka, wait up.
You need to catch your wind?
[ Breathing heavily ]
Speaking of wind,
how could your ring blow out a fire like that?
My ring has the power of wind.
I was given it to help protect the Earth.
Cool.
If you let me try it sometime,
I might even let you try these.
What are they?
These pills can make you happier than you've ever been
in your life.
Drugs? Boris, have you lost your mind?
Give those back!
You stupid cow! I needed those!
Boris, come back!
[ Horns honking ]
[ Tires screeching ]
Oh!
I need more bliss.
Sorry, kid, but the price of bliss has gone sky-high.
That isn't enough to buy even one pill.
Please, give me some. I am in agony.
[ Clicks tongue ] Now, that's the funny thing.
When you're used to bliss, anything else is a real pain.
[ Groans ]
What... what if I bring you a ring
with fantastic powers,
a ring that controls the wind itself?
A ring? You mean you know one of those Planeteers?
My cousin Linka.
Forget the ring.
Bring me the girl to me, and you'll have enough bliss
to last you the rest of your life.
Ugh!
I love my cousin. I will never betray her to you.
Then go ahead and suffer.
Uncle Dmitri!

"Trouble at embassy. Back later. Dmitri."
What trouble?
[ Music plays on TV ]
The vandals fled just seconds ago.
Police believe they are high on a new dangerously addictive
designer drug called bliss.
Please, not Boris.
[ Footsteps approach ]
[ Gasps ] Boris!
Oh, Boris, I was afraid
that you were in that blissed-out mob.
I see now bliss is bad news, so I stopped using it.
Thank you for setting me straight.
You should never have used drugs in the first place.
I am glad you stopped.
Look. I brought you something.
Oh! You went for the blintzes.
Mmm.
Now, isn't that the best thing you ever ate?
[ Tires squeal ]

Isn't Linka with you?
We thought she was coming back with you.
We didn't hear from her all week.
This isn't like her. What could have happened?
Gaia: You won't like the answer, Planeteers.
To the Crystal Chamber, and hurry.
Something terrible is happening in Washington.
Wheeler: Man, what went down on that street?
What went down, Wheeler, was people's self-respect.
They no longer care about their neighborhood
or themselves.
Gi: It's so horrible. But why an eco-alert?
Is this pollution?
It's the most insidious kind of pollution.
These kids are polluting their minds and bodies with drugs.
You say you broke up with your boyfriend,
flunked a test, didn't get that job you wanted,
just plain bored?
Come on. Don't get stressed out.
Get blissed-out.
I got bliss, but the price has gone up.
All they live for now is more bliss.
More bliss! Come on!
That's it, you blissed-out morons.
First I take your town's wealth and health.
And then I get the rest of the world hooked on bliss.
And I'll be the only one who can still think straight.

They're polluted, all right.
[ Gasps ] Gaia, you do not think that Linka...
Nah, she's too smart to do drugs.
But as long as those around her do,
she's in a world of trouble.
Then we will get her out of it!
Gi: We'll leave the Geo-Cruiser in these bushes
where it won't be seen.
Wheeler: Good idea.
Wheeler, who was this man? He looks sad.
That's President Lincoln.
Long ago, he freed the slaves and paid with his life.
Maybe he is sad seeing his people now enslaved by drugs.
Wheeler! Ma-Ti!

Ma-Ti: Stop! We do not want to hurt you.
I'll stop them. Fire!
Skumm: Ha! They don't care about injury...
Just running out of bliss.
What did I tell you?
These planet nerds are too soft-hearted to stop you.
Verminous Skumm. We need Captain Planet.
You bet you do,
