He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983) s01e40 Episode Script
Orko's Missing Magic
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.]
[mysterious twinkling music.]
Through the power of stone, right, hand up to the left.
Okay.
Now turn the page [muttering.]
Hmm.
Crystal.
Oh, let me see.
[mumbling.]
[Orko.]
Nah, nah.
Let's see.
Let me see.
[mumbling.]
Okay.
It's magic time.
[playful music.]
Through the power of stone, by the mystical glass, let the magic within now into me pass.
It's working! It's working! [warbling tone.]
Ah! [suspenseful music.]
What happened? [warbling tone.]
[explosion booming.]
That came from Orko's room.
But where's Orko? [lighthearted music.]
[Man-At-Arms.]
There.
Huh.
Hold on.
What a mess.
[splat.]
[He-Man.]
What happened, Orko? II don't know.
I was working on an experiment to increase my magic power when the whole thing went kablooey.
Not that I'm counting, but that's the third kablooey this month.
Magic is tricky stuff.
[chuckles.]
Hey, tricky stuff.
Pretty funny, huh? Uh, I guess not.
Well, I'd better start cleaning up.
I'm showing the king a new trick tonight.
Well, then I better move fast.
Why? Well, if Orko's going to do a trick, somebody's got to warn the king.
Hmm.
Are you sure you're all right? [Orko.]
Fine and dandy.
See you later.
What a mess.
Your Majesties, friends, for your amusement, I proudly present the ancient and mystic globes of RamaStama! Miggle, maggle, muggle, mise, mystic globes now arise! Orko, perhaps you should try again.
Hmm, must've used too much eep and not enough umph.
Miggle, maggle, muggle, mise, mystic globes now arise.
Uh, really wonderful, Orko.
Do you think we could see it again? My magic.
It won't work.
It'sit's gone.
Orko.
I-I didn't mean to hurt his feelings.
Oh, I better have a talk with Orko.
I'll come too.
[Orko crying.]
- [Orko.]
Ah.
- [He-Man.]
Orko, what is it? My magic is gone.
It's vanished.
Not a zap left.
And without it, I'm no good to anyone.
That's not true, Orko.
We love you for yourself and not for your magic.
Ah, but without magic, how can I make the king laugh or conjure up nice presents for the queen? You don't have to amuse people or give them gifts to be loved.
You're a special person, Orko.
Oh, oh, very special.
Eh, uh, too special sometimes.
And even without tricks, there's magic in your heart, and it's that magic that makes us your friends.
Well, thank you.
Thank you all, but I need my magic, and it's gone.
[sniffles.]
Well, Orko, what we have to do is find out whether you can get your magic back, and I know someone who can help us.
See you later, Teela.
[Orko.]
And then the gronk jumped between me and the crystal.
The next thing I remember is the explosion.
[Sorceress.]
That's the answer.
The gronk soaked up your magic power and then was drawn into the crystal.
[Orko.]
But the crystal was destroyed.
I doubt that the gronk was destroyed too.
More likely, it was sent to one of the other worlds the crystal touched.
Then there's a chance? A slim one.
I can open a gate to the right world, but it won't last long.
If we can get that animal, that gronk, back, can you restore Orko's magic power? Certainly.
Yeah! I'm saved! Not so fast, Orko.
It's risky.
If the gate should close, you'll be trapped in the other dimension forever.
We'll have to take that chance.
We? We? Oh, thatthat doesn't m-m-mean me, does it? But just to be on the safe side, by the power of Grayskull [chorus.]
He-Man [dramatic music.]
Uh-oh.
He means me.
I have the power! [roaring.]
Ready to travel, Cat? Rawr.
Let's go.
I'm going too.
No, Orko, you stay.
Without your magic I know I won't be very useful, but you're doing this for me, and the least I can do is help.
All right.
Sorceress, open the gate.
[shimmering tone.]
Remember, you must act fast.
[chorus.]
He-Man Well, here we are.
[Orko.]
Yeah, but but where is here? [lighthearted music.]
[Orko.]
Wow.
It looks magical.
[ominous music.]
I wonder what the people are like.
[Tik.]
Demons.
[Tok.]
I told you more of them would - [Tik.]
Come.
- [He-Man.]
Excuse me, but - One of the demons - Speaks.
Quick, make it go [together.]
Away.
[whooshing.]
[snarling.]
Hold on, Cat.
Maybe they can help us.
- Why would we want to help - You? - You're - [together.]
Demons.
We're not demons.
We're visitors from another world.
[Orko.]
We're looking for a gronk.
We think it came here.
Now where did they go? - [Tik.]
What is a - [Tok.]
Gronk? A small animal about this big.
[Tik.]
With fur and spines down its [Tok.]
Back? He-Man, they've seen it.
Please tell me where it is.
All my magic is inside it.
[both mumbling indistinctly.]
[Tik.]
Hey, you should be more careful with your [Tok.]
Magic.
This thing you call a gronk has ruined everything on [together.]
Omiros.
So this place is called Omiros.
- Yes.
And I am - Tik.
- And I'm - Tok.
What did you mean when you said the gronk ruined everything? And if it's not too much trouble, could just one of you answer? [Tik.]
I sometimes speak for both of [Tok.]
Us.
And sometimes I [Tik.]
Do.
But it's not [together.]
Normal.
Please.
Well, when this animal of yours arrived, it was captured by Zalt, an evil wizard.
He's using the strange power to control our world.
He's using my magic.
Where is this Zalt? [Tok.]
In Castle Ackle.
[He-Man.]
What's the quickest way there? [together.]
That way.
Maybe you could take us there.
- [Tik.]
Take you to Castle - [Tok.]
Ackle? [together.]
Never.
But we can help you.
We'll take the gronk back to our own world where it won't cause any trouble.
[both mumbling indistinctly.]
- [Tik.]
Oh, very - [Tok.]
Well.
[both mumbling indistinctly.]
[warbling tone.]
- [Tik.]
Get - [Tok.]
In.
[mystical music.]
We'll have to come back here.
That gate is the only way back to our world.
[Tok.]
Don't worry.
The bubble will bring you [Tik.]
Back.
[dramatic music.]
[mysterious twinkling music.]
[He-Man.]
Look.
That must be Castle Ackle.
[Orko.]
This place is awfully creepy.
I don't see any [dramatic music.]
Who dares invade Castle Ackle? [He-Man.]
You better step aside, big fellow.
We don't want any trouble.
[chortling.]
[Giant.]
You're already in trouble, pipsqueak.
My club! You broke my favorite club.
[He-Man.]
It's not polite to poke people.
Ready to give up? I'll get you this time, shorty.
[chortling.]
- Huh? - [He-Man.]
That wasn't very nice.
Whoa! [crashing.]
[grunts.]
Just wait till I get this That wasn't fair.
[growling.]
[suspenseful music.]
[Orko.]
Look, the gronk.
[He-Man.]
Orko, wait! Don't worry, pal.
I'll save you.
Ow! Are you all right? Whawhawhat happened? That cage has some sort of electronic magical protection on it.
We'll have to find a way around it.
Maybe my sword can cut it open.
[Zalt.]
That wouldn't be very polite.
My name is Zalt.
[He-Man.]
Show yourself.
[Zalt.]
If you insist.
He-Man, behind us! Tattletale.
[shimmering tone.]
[grunts.]
[Orko.]
He-Man, we're trapped.
[straining.]
No good straining, muscleman.
Nothing can escape my magic cones.
[He-Man straining.]
And I'm the greatest wizard in all the universe.
Yeah, thanks to my magic, and I want it back.
So it's your magic stored inside this creature.
It's been very useful to me.
Thank you.
What do you want from us, Zalt? [Zalt.]
More magic, of course.
Orko, I hope he doesn't want my sword.
Ah, the sword.
Let's just take a look at that.
[sonic whirring.]
Hmm.
How does it work? Hold it up, and I'll show you.
By the power of Grayskull [screaming.]
He got the power.
And I've got to get that gronk.
- Got you! - [gronk slurping.]
[laughs.]
Hey, cut it out.
Time for us to go.
[Zalt.]
You tricked me! I'll show you! [shimmering tones.]
[growling.]
[Zalt.]
My magic robots will stop you.
[roars.]
[crashing.]
[zapping.]
He-Man, help! [He-Man grunting.]
[crash.]
[Zalt.]
My robots! Sorry about your toys, Zalt, but they don't play nicely, and neither do you.
Let's get moving.
You'll never get out of Castle Ackle.
Never! [Orko.]
He-Man, the gate's closed.
[straining.]
[strained.]
Got to lift it.
[grunts.]
Come on.
[Orko.]
Come on, bubble.
Do your stuff.
[warbling tone.]
No! Into the sky.
- [Tik.]
Look, they're - [Tok.]
Back.
But so is [together.]
Zalt.
The gate's beginning to break up.
We don't have much time.
You won't escape! [zapping.]
It can't be! [Tik.]
Did you see where Zalt [Tok.]
Went? [both screaming.]
[crashing.]
[groaning.]
- Look.
We've captured - Zalt.
- We're - [together.]
Heroes.
[shimmering tone.]
[He-Man.]
Come on.
[playful music.]
[Orko.]
Hey, get back here.
Orko, no! There's no time.
I won't lose my magic again.
Orko, come on! [shimmering tone.]
Oh! Oh, no.
That's it.
We're trapped in this wacky place for good! I'm sorry.
Really I am.
If I hadn't been so selfish in wanting my magic back, we could have escaped.
All right, Orko, we'll try to find some other way back to Eternia.
- [Tik.]
Perhaps we can - [Tok.]
Help.
- [Tok.]
We studied your - [Tik.]
Gate.
- And we might be able to - Re-create it.
- [He-Man.]
We'd really - [Orko.]
Appreciate it.
- [Tik.]
Presto.
- [Tok.]
Change-o.
[together.]
Rearrange-o.
[shimmering tone.]
That's no good.
Too skinny.
- [Tik.]
Mimble.
- [Tok.]
Memble.
[together.]
Reassemble.
They're getting closer.
Maybe you should try using the power in the gronk.
- [Tik.]
It's worth a - [Tok.]
Try.
- [Tik.]
Zeggle - [Tok.]
Zorm.
Please [together.]
Reform.
[warbling tone.]
[Orko.]
You did it.
You did it! Thanks for your help.
- Our - Pleasure.
[laughing.]
Well, looks like the Sorceress had no trouble giving Orko his magic back.
If you ask me, the trouble is just starting.
And what do the mystic globes bring? Well, let's see.
For the king, a ring.
[Randor.]
Thank you, Orko.
[Orko.]
For the queen, a tiara with a radiant sheen.
And for Man-At-Arms Leave me out of this, Orko.
Now, now, Man-At-Arms, you don't want to ruin Orko's big finish, do you? But, sire [Randor.]
Have a little faith, Duncan.
Orko, I think Man-At-Arms could use a new hat.
Coming right up, sire.
And for Man-At-Arms, think of that, a brand new, useful, handsome water? Uh-oh.
That was supposed to be a hat.
[shivers.]
Orko! Well, at least Orko's magic is back to normal.
[Randor laughing.]
[laughter.]
[playful music.]
I was really unhappy when I lost my magic.
I was afraid that people wouldn't like me anymore because I couldn't make them laugh or give them magic presents.
And then Adam told me something.
You don't have to amuse people or give them gifts to be loved.
You're a special person, Orko.
And you know what? You're special.
And you don't have to buy presents or be a clown to make people like you.
That way, you'll know that the friends you make are real friends, that they like you for yourself.
I am Adam, Prince of Eternia and defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull.
This is Cringer, my fearless friend.
