Moral
He-Man: "That's right, Orko, I have to climb to the top to get something for the Sorceress." Orko: "B-but it's so high, it seems impossible."

(He-Man sighs and starts to climb) He-Man: "Climbing a mountain is like any big job. It's not so difficult once you know the secret."

Orko: "Oh, what's that He-Man?"

He-Man: "Just take it one step at a time. Until next time."

Trivia

 * Paul Dobson is credited for voicing Trap Jaw and TriKlops but neither character speaks. Mer-Man and Ram Man do utter grunts and yelps, yet these characters are not listed as being voiced by Scott McNeil in the end credits list and he in turn is credited for voicing Beastman, who doesn't appear at all.
 * Season 2 was planned to have a full 26 episodes, but got cut down to 13 during production. A script for the 40th episode, 'Captured' was written by Dean Stefan but never went into production. The script was included as a bonus feature on the complete series DVD set, together with the previous 39 scripts and a comic book adaptation of Captured, illustrated by Emiliano Santalucia. In this unproduced story, Kobra Khan tricks Skeletor and his Evil Warriors into freeing the defeated King Hiss and the petrified Snake Face from the Eternian prison.
