He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983) s01e24 Episode Script
Orko's Favorite Uncle
1 [dramatic music.]
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!" [chorus.]
He-Man I have the power! [roaring.]
[He-Man.]
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.
[cackling.]
[dramatic music.]
[foreboding music.]
At last, I, Tauron the Magician, am ready for the final stage.
Dragonfire, gravedust And essence of midnight will continue [sparks crackle.]
And bring me the allies I need [thunder crashes.]
To rule Eternia forever.
[laughing maniacally.]
[thunder crashing.]
[Battle Cat roaring.]
Looks like a storm's brewing.
[He-Man.]
We can take shelter in that cave.
Lightnings flash! [cackling.]
[thunder crashing.]
[rumbling.]
Uh-oh.
That sounds like trouble.
[rumbling.]
[Battle Cat.]
I may not like getting wet, but I'm afraid of the dark.
[Orko.]
Don't worry, Cringer.
As long as I've got my magic wand, you've got nothing to fear.
[stammering.]
Adam! Ah, come on, Cringer.
What is it now? Did you see a mouse? [creature growling and screeching.]
[roaring.]
That's no mouse, Orko.
That's a manticore.
[roaring.]
[thud.]
[roaring.]
Adam! Q-q-quick! The p-p-powersword! By the power [manticore roaring.]
Well, team, any other ideas? I don't know.
I'm all out of magic.
That's the first good news I've heard all day.
[manticore roaring.]
Look out! Here he comes.
[roars.]
I now command my new allies from another world to come forth! Gark, my sixth sense is warning me of danger coming from Eternia.
[Gark grumbles.]
[rumbling.]
[warbling tone.]
[dramatic music.]
[warbling tone.]
Creature, it is I, Tauron, who have summoned you.
By my spell, I bind you to my will.
[roars.]
[Tauron.]
What is your name? Gark! Then Gark I shall call you.
There were two forks of lightning, so you must have a partner with powers equal to your own.
[roars.]
[manticore roaring.]
I wish I had some magic that could help.
Adam, Cringer, look out! [He-Man.]
What's going on? [Battle Cat.]
Be careful, Adam.
Uncle Montork! [together.]
Uncle Montork? Ha-ha! Orko, my lad! [roars.]
Quick, Cringer.
This could be our chance.
[manticore roaring.]
Uncle, we've got to get out of here.
Flee from this puny beast? I'll bet it's only a baby.
[roaring.]
[tail crashing.]
[Montork.]
Me and my big mouth.
[chorus.]
He-Man By the power of Grayskull! [chorus.]
He-Man [dramatic music.]
[chorus.]
He-Man I have the power! [roaring.]
Come on, partner.
Let's go! [manticore roaring.]
[shimmering tone.]
Uncle Montork, do something! My powers don't seem to be working.
[roaring.]
[gulps.]
[manticore roars.]
[Battle Cat roars.]
Hey, big fella.
Why don't you pick on someone your own size? [chorus.]
He-Man [chorus.]
He-Man You should have these things trimmed.
Now, let's see if we can turn things around.
[crashing.]
I think we'd better move before that monster gets back on his feet.
[chorus.]
He-Man [rumbling.]
[chorus.]
He-Man Where did he come from? Would you believe it if I told you it was my magic? Nope.
Then I won't tell you that.
[manticore roaring.]
[roaring continues.]
Stand clear.
[chorus.]
He-Man Well, we'll be gone by the time that monster digs his way out from there.
[Montork.]
I was hoping you two had made it out.
Yeah.
Lucky He-Man showed up, or that monster would have had us for lunch.
Hey, maybe lunch will bring you back your powers, Uncle Montork.
He's the best magician in our family.
Orko, there are things more important than magic.
Really? Like what? Like getting to see you again, you little rascal.
Ha-ha, now let's do some talking.
- A strange story, Montork.
- To be sure.
My pet Gark and I got hit by a mysterious ray, and here I am.
[Tauron cackling.]
There you are, indeed, Montork, our final partner in power.
Gark will bind you to my will, and our combined magic shall make me the master of Eternia forever! Gark, am I happy to see you! [roaring.]
That's your uncle's pet? [warbling tone.]
- Uncle Montork! - Stay back, Orko! I told you to stay back! Hey, wait a minute.
Hold on.
Like, what's going on? Gee, Orko, I don't know what came over me.
Oh, yes, I do! I have regained my powers to serve Tauron, my supreme master.
Adam, what's he talking about? [He-Man.]
Tauron's an evil wizard, and he seems to have put your uncle and Gark under a spell.
- Take care of them.
- [roars.]
Please, you got to snap out of that spell! Why should that little one look so familiar? Bah! It's the trickery of my master's enemies.
[zap.]
I-I-I think this is where I make my exit.
[roaring.]
Yikes! [Gark roaring.]
[dramatic music.]
Ha! That one will be easy game.
Easier said than done.
By the power of Grayskull! [dramatic music.]
[chorus.]
He-Man I have the power! [chorus.]
He-Man [roaring.]
[Battle Cat roaring.]
Sorry, Montork.
Adam and Cringer had a pressing engagement.
[Battle Cat growls.]
I hope we'll do instead.
Indeed you will.
- After them, Gark.
- [Gark roaring.]
[rumbling.]
[chorus.]
He-Man Uh, w-what's going on? What am I doing here? [Tauron.]
I'll tell you what's going on, Montork.
Look! The time for games is over, He-Man.
Now the true test begins.
[He-Man.]
Tauron the Magician.
So you're behind all this? My patience for games is over.
The time has come to seize our main objective: Castle Grayskull itself! Master, we obey.
[roars.]
Hmm.
[laughing maniacally.]
Uncle Montork, come back! Our objective! Castle Grayskull.
[Montork.]
And now to launch our attack.
[Montork cackling.]
He-Man, I can't believe he would do something like this.
He's my uncle.
He's also under a spell, Orko, controlled by Tauron's amulet.
[whistles.]
[engine turns over.]
[engine whirring.]
[He-Man.]
Battle Cat, you know the way to Tauron's cave.
Take Orko And get that amulet.
We'll save him, Orko.
I'll meet you at Grayskull.
Good luck.
Hmm, with Orko's kind of magic, we're sure gonna need it.
[dramatic music.]
[foreboding music.]
[Sorceress.]
What beautiful visitors.
Wait! Those aren't butterflies.
They're [Montork.]
Servants of Tauron, the new master of Grayskull.
He-Man! [Sorceress.]
He-Man! There are enemies in Grayskull - I'm on my way.
- [chorus.]
He-Man [Orko.]
Ugh! Ow! Ouch! Enough of this riding.
I'm going to levitate.
So you dare challenge my power? [Battle Cat roars.]
Battle Cat, you distract Tauron [Battle Cat growls.]
While I destroy his collection of black magic gizmos.
[Battle Cat roars.]
[suspenseful music.]
- [Gark roars.]
- What is it, Gark? You found it.
Yes.
The power is stronger here.
No! They must not reach the door to the inner chambers.
[Montork.]
The door to the Inner Chambers of Power.
I must pass through.
[warbling tone.]
No! You shall proceed no further! Nothing you can do will keep us from our goal.
- [saw whirring.]
- It won't be long now.
He-Man, hurry! These two are more powerful than we thought.
I'm almost there, Sorceress.
Open the Jaw Bridge.
[Sorceress.]
Jaw Bridge, I command thee open! [vehicle whooshing.]
Uh-oh.
Time for the automatic pilot, and [screeching.]
[dramatic music.]
Sorceress, I'm coming.
[chorus.]
He-Man Well, here's an armload of power that Tauron will never use again.
[Tauron.]
You troublesome Trollan.
[ominous music.]
You'll pay dearly for this.
[Battle Cat roars.]
Good work, Battle Cat.
I command you, amulet of power, take us to Grayskull.
Ha! I can now enter the Inner Chambers.
[He-Man.]
Not if I can stop you.
[dramatic music.]
Ha! You think your sword is good? Just wait till you see mine.
Whoops.
[laughs.]
How original.
Flower power.
The sword must be in my other cape.
Gark, I need reinforcements.
[Gark roars.]
Down, boy.
Down! What's going on? Gark, He-Man's the enemy! It looks like the spell is wearing off.
Spell? You mean Ah, you can't fool me.
You are the master's enemy, and I shall find a weapon to beat you yet.
Montork, wait! Ha! What a pleasure, to use one of He-Man's weapons against him.
Stay away from the Talon Fighter, Montork.
You won't be able to control it.
Oh, no? Just watch me.
[whir.]
[engine blasts.]
[Montork screams.]
It looks like Orko's goof-ups run in the family.
[Montork.]
Aah! [vehicle whooshing.]
[whistles.]
[He-Man.]
It's time you left the flying to me.
Now, if we could just free you from that spell Look! [shimmering and warbling tones.]
He-Man, we've got the amulet.
Oh, no.
I did it again.
We brought Tauron too.
- We'd better get down there.
- [Orko.]
Help! - [Orko.]
Help! Aah! - And fast.
[Orko.]
Help me! [Battle Cat growling.]
[crash.]
[Sorceress.]
He-Man, you must destroy the amulet immediately.
He-Man, catch.
[Tauron.]
No! Montork, do something.
I obey, master.
I obey.
[hisses.]
Excellent, Montork.
Now give it to me.
With our magical power, we'll be invincible.
Orko, it's up to you.
You've got to stop your uncle.
Now! Uncle Montork, you told me yourself some things are more important than magical powers.
[Orko.]
Don't give Tauron that stone.
What was that you called me? You are my Uncle Montork.
I'm Orko.
You're under a spell, but I want you back.
O-O-Orko? Please come back.
Try.
Think! I'm Orko.
You're the one who taught me every trick I know.
Course they don't always work, but please, Uncle, please.
[Orko.]
I love you.
Come back.
[shimmering tone.]
Orko, my lad! You did it, Orko! You helped me break the spell.
Montork, give me the amulet.
No way, Tauron.
He-Man, see what your sword can do with this.
With pleasure.
Oh, no! My power is destroyed.
I am ruined.
[Montork.]
And I'm back to normal at last.
[Gark.]
Gark! [panting.]
Gark! Oh, Gark, I'm so happy to see you.
Ha! Now, that's what I call a friendly monster.
Uh-oh.
With the spell broken, I'm feeling the pull of our own dimension again.
Oh, Uncle Montork, please stay.
You've got to teach me more magic so I can be a great wizard like you.
You just proved you don't need magic to be great, Orko.
After all, it wasn't your magic that broke the spell.
It was your love.
- [warbling tone.]
- Gark! He's gone! Uncle Montork, don't go! We've got no choice.
Good-bye, Uncle Montork.
[Orko.]
Give my regards to the rest of the family.
[Montork.]
Keep up the good work, my lad, but remember there's magic all around us if we just stop to see it.
The most wonderful magic of all is just being alive.
Make the most of it, Orko.
Make the most of it.
[whimpers and sighs.]
Well, I'm glad everyone didn't disappear.
[laughs.]
Don't worry, Orko.
We're not leaving.
Someone's got to stay and keep an eye on you.
And we've got the job.
[Battle Cat chortling.]
If there's one thing better than being a great magician, it's being alive and having great friends like you.
And I'm going to make the most of it.
[laughing.]
My Uncle Montork taught me a lot about magic, but not just the regular kind.
He taught me how to see the magic that's all around us.
Like, for instance, there just has to be magic in anything as beautiful as a rainbow.
And there's real magic in the way a mother takes care of her young.
But as my uncle said, the most wonderful magic of all is just being alive.
[laughs.]
