He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983) s01e33 Episode Script
The Region of Ice
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.]
[upbeat music.]
[laughs.]
Come on, slowpokes.
If I catch you, you'll eat snow.
Orko? Where are you, Orko? [muffled.]
Here I am.
Now I know why Cringer refused to come with us.
This snow is cold.
Brr! [laughs.]
Look at them, like two kids.
Mother and Father really needed this vacation.
So did I.
Being a magician is hard work.
Let's take a shortcut and beat them to the bottom of the mountain.
[Randor.]
Marlena, you're asking for trouble.
[thud.]
Marlena, where did you go? [wind whistling.]
Marlena! Is something wrong, Your Highness? The queen, she was here just a moment ago.
Now Is this a prank? Come out now.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Well, we'll help search, Your Highness.
She's probably just hiding, waiting to surprise you.
My queen, can you hear me? Queen Marlena! Your Majesty! Marlena, are you hurt, dear? Very strange.
[Randor.]
Man-At-Arms! [Man-At-Arms.]
Your Highness! [Teela.]
Father! [wind whistling.]
[zapping.]
Okay, whoever or whatever you are.
They should have been here by now.
I'm hungry.
Where's the food? In the Wind Raider.
Get on.
All right, but don't go so fast! Strange, the way all the tracks just stop.
Well, maybe I should use my magic.
[He-Man.]
No, but I think it may be time for He-Man to [rumbling.]
Prince Adam! Yikes! I don't know what's going on here, but Prince Adam will turn into He-Man anytime now and pop through the snow.
Wouldn't hurt to investigate on my own.
It seems solid.
I guess I better use some magic.
Stuff that's cold, secrets unfold.
Whoa! Anybody around here ever heard of stairs? [grunts.]
I better find the others fast.
Maybe I can borrow a coat.
This is a big place.
Maybe I better use some more of my magic to find everyone.
[Ice Lord.]
That's good, Slush.
Thank you.
- [Orko.]
Oh, no.
- [snipping.]
[snipping.]
My apologies, Your Majesties, for this rude treatment.
I had hoped our first meeting would be under more pleasant circumstances.
So now we wait until that legendary hero He-Man appears for your rescue.
Well, he's got a long wait coming.
He doesn't know it, but he's got He-Man right there.
Unless there's something I can do.
Let me think.
I look forward to meeting this He-Man.
Tales of his mighty feats have reached even our cold mountains.
He's never met He-Man? Wand of light, become sword of might.
It worked! Well, herehere g-goes.
When this is all over, maybe you will permit me to Whowho dares hold He-Man's friends like this? You are He-Man? I am He-Man.
[Ice Lord laughs.]
Don't make me angry.
You doubt me? Release my friends at once.
If you are He-Man, the test is simple.
Slush, put him with the others.
[Orko.]
Oh, my.
[Ice Lord.]
Slush would not be much trouble for the real He-Man.
Oh, my, oh, my, oh, my! [stammering.]
Hug-a-mug, melt that bug.
[zapping.]
[zapping.]
[rumbling.]
[zapping.]
Now, will you release my friends, or must I do it myself? No! He-Man, I beseech you.
I know you are mighty and powerful.
But if it must be, I will use all of my resources to try and stop you.
I have others like Slush, and I have powers of my own.
I don't want to do this.
Then why are you? Because I must.
Perhaps we can strike a bargain.
What kind of bargain? The evil Skeletor has taken my daughter.
She is being held against her will at his castle.
For her return, I have been ordered to turn over the royal family.
If you will rescue my daughter, I will free your friends.
You will free them first? That I cannot do.
But I insist you free one as a token of good trust.
I have your word as He-Man that you will free my daughter? You have my promise that I will try.
It is agreeable, then.
Which one? [Orko.]
The one on the end.
[Ice Lord.]
Why that one? [Orko.]
He is my assistant.
He-Man, thank you for rescuing me.
[chorus.]
He-Man [Orko.]
You're not mad at me for impersonating He-Man, are you? No, you did what you had to do to save us.
[Orko.]
Whew, good.
Now you can become He-Man, and we'll rescue the others.
No, first we must journey to Skeletor's lair and rescue the Ice Lord's daughter.
You gave your word as He-Man.
I suppose a promise is a promise.
But He-Man will be needed for the immediate task.
By the power of Grayskull [chorus.]
He-Man He-Man I have the power! [chorus.]
He-Man [Orko.]
We're going to Snake Mountain itself? Are you sure you want me alone? [He-Man.]
You're beginning to sound like Cringer.
[Orko.]
But Skeletor's home You did okay against that giant ice spider.
Sure, but now that you're He-Man, you can handle anything without me.
I'm going to need all the help I can get.
After all, I'm only your assistant.
Oh, that.
Well, I had to say something to get him to release Prince Adam.
It's all right.
It's all right, Orko.
I'm just joking.
[chuckles.]
You did a terrific job.
I couldn't have done better myself.
Really? Really.
We're almost there.
Already? [chorus.]
He-Man Now, we'd better land and approach on foot.
And very carefully.
[chorus.]
He-Man He-Man [ominous music.]
It's not the kind of place I usually come to on vacation.
Wait until we get inside.
Inside? How do we do that? Through the mouth of the snake.
The mouth? [Skeletor.]
Any sign of them yet? [grumbling.]
Nothing yet.
Well, keep a lookout.
The Ice Lord should be bringing in the royal family soon.
[Trap Jaw.]
Why don't you just check on your monitor? Because the Ice Lord has done something to my reception in the Ice Mountains.
All I get issnow.
After the Ice Lord brings me the royal family, then I will make him pay for this.
Oh! But what if he doesn't bring you the royal family? Fool! Of course he will.
He wants his daughter back, doesn't he? You're supposed to be guarding her.
Ah, she's in the cage.
Get back to your station immediately! [grumbles.]
All right, all right.
[shouts angrily.]
[laughs.]
[Skeletor.]
Trap Jaw, you're supposed to be on the lookout.
[grumbling.]
[chorus.]
He-Man Every time something doesn't work around here, I catch the blame.
[warbling tones.]
Okay, what have you been up to now? Nothing.
Ah! [giggles.]
[shouts angrily.]
You'll be sorry for that.
[giggles.]
You try any more of your tricks, and I will turn the heat up in here.
[laughs.]
See how you like that.
[chorus.]
He-Man [upbeat music.]
Nice day, isn't it? [chomps.]
What? He-Man.
I should have known.
[He-Man.]
I told you he wasn't too smart.
I don't need my hands to take care of the likes of you.
[Orko.]
Yipe! [laughs.]
You'll never make it, Trap Jaw.
I don't see how you are gonna stop me.
[chomping.]
This is the ten-foot pole I wouldn't touch you with.
[chomps.]
[spits.]
One foot down, nine to go.
Orko, the rope.
Good-bye, Trap Jaw.
That wasn't so hard.
[He-Man.]
Just like stringing a fish, Orko.
[Trap Jaw shouting angrily.]
Keep hanging in there, Trap Jaw.
[Trap Jaw shouting angrily.]
No, no, don't say anything.
You might lose your grip.
Anyway, I think I know how you feel.
Shall we go inside? [chorus.]
He-Man [Orko.]
How will we find her? This is a big place.
I feel like we've walked to the bottom of the world.
When we find Skeletor, we'll find the girl.
That means we have to find Skeletor.
- Shh.
- What? [whispering.]
Skeletor.
Come on, Orko.
Now the fun starts.
Fun, he calls it.
[chorus.]
He-Man My father's a noble man, and he will never capture the royal family and turn them over to you.
He will, or he'll regret it.
I think you should talk to your father and convince him to hurry matters along.
I refuse.
I could make things very warm for you.
Very warm.
Oh.
Neither I nor my father will cooperate with evil, no matter what you do to us.
[cackling.]
I'll let you think about it.
We could raise the temperature in here, could we not, Beast Man? Ah, great idea.
I'm starting to catch a cold.
[snarling.]
Now it's our turn.
[banging.]
Who are you? I guess we should have knocked.
We're He-Man and Orko.
Which is which? Now, that's a good question.
Don't ask Orko.
He just gets confused.
Let's see.
[Orko.]
Well, your father sent us.
We came to rescue you.
I thank you, but I don't think it will be that easy.
All we have to do is walk out.
Shall we go home? Ah, this will warm up the room and our little snow princess.
[laughs.]
Uh-oh.
He-Man! Hello, Beast Man.
Making soup? [snarls.]
[rumbling.]
Oops.
You spilled it.
[shimmering tone.]
[ice crackles.]
And now it's cold.
[ice shattering.]
Hey, that's a good trick.
[snarling.]
Playing catch? Here.
Right back at you.
[muffled shouting.]
There.
Now you won't lose it again.
He ought to be more careful.
I would appreciate it if we could get away from this place now.
I agree.
Skeletor's gonna find out we're here pretty soon, and I'd rather be away.
If there are no further interruptions, we should be out real soon.
Come on.
[chorus.]
He-Man [Skeletor.]
Trap Jaw, answer me.
Where are you? Do you see anything yet? He's sleeping on the job again.
[muffled grunting.]
Help me! Somebody get me out of here! [Skeletor.]
What is this? Beast Man, is this supposed to be funny? Skeletor! [grunting.]
Get me out! Free me! [warbling tone.]
[hisses.]
Go see what happened to Trap Jaw.
He's probably sleeping again.
Enough of your silly games.
- He-Man! - He-Man? Yes, he's here at Snake Mountain, trying to rescue the girl.
[Skeletor.]
They will never escape.
[laughing wickedly.]
[warbling tone.]
There it is.
We're almost out.
Sure looks good to me.
[spits.]
Never thought I could eat that much rope.
[rumbling.]
[Orko.]
Earthquakes! [He-Man.]
I don't think so.
Come on.
We must hurry.
[rumbling.]
Uh-oh.
We're in for it now.
What's happening? I think Snake Mountain is coming alive.
[Skeletor.]
He-Man! He-Man! You're mine.
[snarls.]
It looks like it's time to go.
We've worn out our welcome.
I'll need your help, Snowflake.
Oh, yes, yes! Whatever you want.
Oh, but hurry, please.
First we must help Trap Jaw rejoin his friends.
He-Man, don't! Skeletor, help me! What are you doing? Snowflake, if you could smooth the path for Trap Jaw.
What? Oh, yes, I see.
[shimmering tone.]
[Trap Jaw.]
Watch out! [Skeletor.]
Oh, no! [Trap Jaw.]
Ugh! Duck! [crashing.]
Now to get this snake to say, "Ah.
" [rumbling.]
Hurry! Everyone out! He's gotten away.
Will someone untie me? Oh.
[snarls.]
I think I'm catching cold.
If you had kept a better eye on the girl, none of this would have happened.
[hisses.]
Well, what do you have to say for yourself? [Beast Man sneezes dramatically.]
[chorus.]
He-Man Oh, breathe that frigid air.
It's nice to be home.
He-Man, I don't know how to thank you.
Well, Orko had a lot to do with it.
Oh, yes, Orko.
I don't know how to repay either of you.
You could teach me how to do that ice trick.
[Snowflake.]
I'd like that.
[chorus.]
He-Man [Ice Lord.]
I truly apologize, King Randor, but I was trapped by Skeletor and knew of no other way to save my daughter.
Next time, just ask for help.
I'll remember that.
Please thank He-Man for me.
I never did thank him properly.
Which He-Man do you mean? Both of my He-Men.
He-Man.
Ha! [whistle blowing.]
The hero always gets the reward.
Orko certainly helped us out in today's adventure, and he learned a good lesson too.
He made a promise to the Ice Lord he thought he could break, but Adam showed him you shouldn't make a promise knowing you're not going to keep it.
People judge you by many things: your appearance, your honesty, the way you act.
Those things show your character.
When you make a promise and don't keep it, it shows bad character.
So always think before you speak and mean what you say.
That way, what you say will be respected.
See you again soon.
