ADAM: And the Masters of the Universe!

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

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 Gray skull...

CHORUS: (SINGING) 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.

(LAUGHS)

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

It must be near here.

Ah, I can't see a thing.

It is too dark.

Quiet, Beast Man.

Do you want to wake up the whole village?

It's obviously at that shrine down there.

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

BEAST MAN: It's locked!

TRAP JAW: Of course, you fool.

You think they'd leave it just lying around?

Ah, we're going to be here all night.

TRAP JAW: Hey!

(GROANS) That's just great.

If everyone in the village is stone deaf,

we might have a chance at getting out unnoticed.

Trap Jaw, there it is.

Come on, let's grab it and get out of here.

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

That looks like a good place to leave it.

This thing must be worth a hundred fortunes.

Why not keep it?

Because, you hairy fool, Skeletor says the Gryphon

will destroy everything in its path to get this jewel back.

(SHIMMERING TONE)

(SHIMMERING TONE)

(REGAL TRUMPET MUSIC PLAYING)

(YAWNING) (BANGING AT DOOR)

MAN: Up and at 'em, boy.

My name's Thad, not boy.

MAN: Thad Schmad.

Who can keep track of all you royal pages, anyway?

Just keep moving.

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

That guy burns me up.

"Who can keep track of all you pages, anyway?"

You'd think I didn't even exist.

Prince Adam.

Ooh, sorry, Your Highness.

Oh, don't worry about it, uh...

Thad, sire.

Thad.

Well, no harm done, Thad.

Nobody notices me.

Nobody even knows I exist.

I'm nothing more than an errand boy.

Nobody even knows who I am.

I wonder why I even bother hanging around the palace.

It'll always be the same.

"Say, boy, could you run this upstairs?

"What's your name again?

"Who are you?"

Huh?

(SHIMMERING TONE)

Wow.

I wonder who it belongs to.

Well, maybe I'll just hang on to it

until its owner shows up.

Gailen, come quickly.

Someone has entered the shrine of the Gryphon.

We must make sure the jewel of protection is still in place.

Gone!

The curse of the Gryphon will surely fall upon us now!

I'll just hang on to it until its owner shows up.

Yeah, that's it.

Maybe the folks at the palace

will start paying some attention to me.

TEELA: Oh, royal page!

Me?

Where did you ever get such a fine gem?

I found it on the road on the way back from the village.

What is your name?

It's Thad, ma'am.

TEELA: Well, I'm...

Oh, I know who you are, Captain Teela.

It's a beautiful jewel, Thad.

Thank you, Captain Teela.

Well, be seeing you.

Jewel, you're going to make me

into somebody important around here.

But, Gailen, for all we know,

the legend of the Gryphon is just a fairytale.

No! 200 years ago, the Gryphon came to this place

and put the jewel in our care.

We have failed in our task.

Now that it is stolen,

the Gryphon will come once more to destroy us!

But that's just a myth. It's not...

(ROARING)

Gryphon!

There's your myth in the flesh!

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

Well, something new, Man-At-Arms?

My latest invention, a freeze ray.

But it keeps blowing out on me.

Here's the problem.

Your lens is all fogged up.

Orko, don't you touch that.

ORKO: (MUFFLED) Get me out of here!

Hang on, little friend.

(SHIVERING) Terrific invention, Man-At-Arms.

I've only got one thing to say about it.

Yes?

It leaves me cold.

(LAUGHS)

(THAD CLEARS THROAT)

Why, Thad, hello.

What's that you've got there?

I found this outside the palace.

I was wondering if Man-At-Arms could take a look at it.

Hmm, never seen anything like it.

It's a most unusual jewel, that's for sure.

I'd like to keep it here for study, Thad.

No! I won't go back to being plain, old, ordinary page.

(SPUTTERING)

At least not until the real owner turns up.

He doesn't really believe that jewel

makes him someone important, does he?

I hope he has more sense than that.

(CHIMES) WOMAN: Man-At-Arms?

Man-At-Arms!

is captain Teela with you?

MAN-AT-ARMS: No, she's not. Why?

Chandor Village is under attack.

By whom?

It's some kind of monster.

They need help fast.

We better ready the Attack Trak.

Wait. That freeze ray of yours might be helpful.

You stay here and finish working on it.

I'll handle this as He-Man.

By the power of Gray skull...

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

...I have the power!

He-Man

Get ready to roll, Trak.

ATTACK TRAK: All systems checked out, He-Man.

To Chandor village, Trak.

We haven't a moment to lose.

He-Man

(ROARING)

Everybody, out of the village!

Run for your lives!

(ALL SCREAMING)

(ROARING)

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

MAN-AT-ARMS: He-Man, they sure need your help down there.

HE-MAN: What's going on?

That thing down there attacked the village out of nowhere.

Have the villagers all gotten to safety?

Yes, just now.

Then I'll handle it from here on.

(ROARING)

Fire, eh?

A mountain lake.

That should do the trick.

(SCREECHING)

(ROARING)

(ROARING)

(RUMBLING)

(ROARING)

(CRACKING)

(ROARING)

That should put a damper on your plans.

(ROARS)

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

MAN-AT-ARMS: So, He-Man, you took care of the monster.

Yes, but I don't think we've seen the last of it.

Oh? Why do you say that?

That village has a shrine built for the very creature

I fought today.

The Ieader told me that a jewel was stolen last night

from the Gryphon's shrine.

But I didn't steal it,

I found it.

And now they're going to try to take it back.

Thad, what's the matter?

I didn't steal the jewel.

I didn't!

Thad, no one thinks you stole it.

He-Man does.

TEELA: Thad, come back!

I'd better look into this.

The villagers think the monster attacked

because the jewel was stolen.

That's a bit far-fetched.

I know what I saw.

Teela, have you seen that young page Thad?

Just a moment ago.

We've got to stop him and get that jewel back.

Otherwise... (CHIMING)

WOMAN: Alert! Alert!

The Gryphon has been sighted,

and it's headed straight for the palace!

Repeat, the Gryphon is headed this way!

We've got to clear everyone out of the palace.

More important, we've got to find Thad

and get that jewel back.

That's what it's after.

MAN-AT-ARMS: Teela, where did you see Thad?

He was running out of the palace.

He said He-Man accused him of stealing the jewel.

He must have overheard our conversation.

But why would he run away just to keep the jewel?

I don't think the value of the jewel matters to him.

It's the prestige of having it.

Teela, you better find him.

He-Man, it's up to you and me to prepare the defense.

We don't have a moment to waste.

If I give up the jewel, I'll just be a nobody again.

I don't want to be a nobody.

I'll run away. That's what I'll do.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING QUICKLY)

I've got to find Thad

before that creature destroys the palace.

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

I hope this freeze ray of yours does the trick.

I don't know.

It was still misfiring in the lab.

There, that should do it.

(ROARING)

And just in time. Look.

Here it comes.

Look at the size of that thing.

Oh!

(ROARING)

Thad must have gone this way.

Thad!

Thad, come back!

It's me, Teela!

Thad, where are you?

Go away!

Leave me alone!

You must give me the jewel!

It doesn't belong to you!

THAD: No! Never!

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

(ROARING)

(ROARS QUESTIONINGLY)

(SCREECHING)

(ROARING)

(ROARING)

Well, the freeze coil's blown.

The ray won't work.

If we don't do something, it'll burn down the palace.

(SNIFFING)

Why... Why is it flying away?

It must be going after that jewel.

And that means Thad is in danger.

Now, be reasonable, Thad.

Give the jewel to me.

If I give it back, I'll be a nothing again,

and everyone will ignore me.

No one will like me.

Do you like me, Thad?

Sure, I do.

Well, I don't have anything like that jewel.

THAD: Yes, but you're Teela.

Everybody likes you.

I'm just a person just like you.

Do you want people to like that jewel

Or do you want them to like you?

I guess I want them to like me.

If people like you, it's because of who you are

not what you have.

It's where real friendship comes from.

Do... Do you like me?

Of course I do.

Then I guess you're right.

Good.

Now let's get that thing back to its rightful owner, okay?

Let's get going.

(ROARING)

What's that?

That, Thad, is its rightful owner.

Run, Thad!

(INHALES DEEPLY)

(ROARING)

MAN-AT-ARMS: The fields are on fire.

And Teela and Thad must be in there somewhere.

You go after them. I'll try to knock down the flames.

TEELA: Man-At-Arms!

Teela, hang on.

(MECHANICAL WHIRRING)

Looks like this situation calls for some more water.

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

Aha.

He-Man

He-Man

(ROARING)

The jewel! I dropped it!

(SCREECHES)

One good shot.

He-Man

He-Man

He-Man

He-Man

He-Man

He-Man

He-Man

He-Man

MAN-AT-ARMS: He-Man, we lost the jewel.

It's still down there somewhere.

(ROARING)

We'd better find it before that creature goes crazy.

He-Man

Look!

(CREAKING)

TEELA: That jewel was the Gryphon's egg.

(WEAKLY ROARING)

(ROARING)

(ROARING)

HE-MAN: It's afraid of water.

TEELA: So is the baby.

He-Man, do something to help it!

No, Teela.

I found the egg.

It's my responsibility.

Thad!

(GROWLING)

(ROARING)

Back to being a plain old page again.

I'm going to inform King Randor personally of your heroism.

(GULPS) Heroism? Me?

When you saved the baby gryphon,

you saved us all, Thad.

Gee, I guess I am someone special.

We all are, Thad.

There was a really wonderful moment

in today's adventure story.

Bet I can guess what it was.

It was when He-Man brought the water out of the lake.

MAN-AT-ARMS: No, that wasn't it.

ORKO: Well, then, it must have been when He-Man lifted

the whole top of the mountain.

MAN-AT-ARMS: That was incredible, but that wasn't it, either.

Well, I give up.

The most wonderful moment was when Thad realized

he must face his own responsibilities.

In that one tiny second,

I saw a boy grow into a man.
