Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) s02e08 Episode Script

Hey, easy on the shell, bud.
I just had it waxed.
Almost there.
Well, master, how'd I do ? Not your best time, Michelangelo.
Come on ! It's not my fault.
Donatello put some new traps in the tunnel.
Of course.
I got to keep you guys on your toes.
Your turn, Raphael.
Remember the importance of energy and concentration.
It's hard to get too worked up Over a stupid obstacle course, you know ? Well, just do what I do Pretend there's a pizza waiting at the finish line.
I'll give you a better incentive Shredder.
Leonardo is right.
All indications are that he's preparing to return with the Technodrome.
What is it this time, Shredder ? I have a new plan, Krang, But i'll need a canister of the mutagen to implement it.
That chemical is very rare.
Why should I waste more of it on you ? I wish to create more mutants to use against the turtles.
That'll be nice.
Someone new to talk to.
Yeah, our own kind.
For once you've come up with a halfway decent plan.
There's one problem, though.
We're presently experiencing an ion storm.
It may interferelem, with the portal.
We must risk it ! Prepare to receive the mutagen canister.
And, turtles, wherever you are, prepare to meet your end ! Oh, we could've gone to Hawaii, But, no, you said Florida was cheaper.
Look what I found.
Can I keep them, mom, huh ? Put those disgusting things down ! You don't know where they've been ! Sure I do.
In the swamp.
You heard me now.
Put them back this instant ! Mom ! So long, fellas.
We could have had a great life together.
Let's go to a hotel.
This place is crawling with creatures.
They're only frogs.
They're not the creatures from the maroon lagoon.
Wow ! Neat-o ! The canister is where ? A section of earth known as Florida The okefenokee swamp.
I told you the ion storm may interfere with the portal.
I'm going to Florida to find the mutagen.
Oh, great ! I'll go pack my surfboard.
Not you, you mutant moron.
I'm going by myself.
Dressed like that ? This holographic projector Will take care of everything.
Wow.
Me next, boss.
No, stupid.
You two will stay and keep the turtles occupied while I'm gone.
Understood ? You bet.
It'll be a pleasure.
Come on, April, admit it.
You do know the turtles.
You found me out, Irma.
I do know them.
Now are you happy ? Well, why should I be happy ? You're the one who knows them.
I don't believe it ! What ? Nothing.
I've got to go now.
My my car's double-parked.
Wait ! You don't have a car.
I thought you guys would like to know about this.
"Froglike monsters seen in Florida swamp.
" I wonder if they might be mutants like us.
Perhaps we should investigate.
You mean go to Florida ? Far out ! The surfing there is totally tubuloso ! I think now might be a bad time.
Look at this ! And I repeat two delinquents are on a rampage in times square.
One wears a rhinoceros mask, the other, a wart hog mask.
It's Rock-steady and Bebop ! I wonder why the temper tantrum.
Beats me.
Maybe they passed a mirror and saw what they look like, huh ? Let's go, turtles ! Wait for me ! I'm not missing this story ! According to Krang's coordinates, the canister landed right around here.
Here it is ! Blast ! It's empty.
So this is my army of mutants ? The mutagen should have given you the ability to speak.
Who are you ? My name is Shredder, and I love all living things.
You sound like a nice person.
I am.
And if you come with me, I'll show you wonders you've never dreamed of.
Sounds good to us.
Splendid ! Hold still.
This won't hurt a bit.
Oh, boy ! Clothes ! He's telling the truth.
He is a nice person.
Now come.
We have a great battle to fight against the evil mutant turtles.
Wow.
Now, this is what I call fun.
And it's about to turn into more fun.
All right ! It's turtle trashing time ! Remember, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Ready or not, here I come ! So much for a frontal assault.
Turtles, fight with honor.
Come on ! I'll make turtle soup out of youse.
Excuse me.
Yeah, boss ? Come back to the hideout, both of you.
I have what I was looking for.
Boss, we was just getting warmed up.
Now, you cretin ! Oh, playtime's over.
The boss wants us.
After them, turt We'll never catch them now.
I get the feeling that all of this was just to distract us But from what ? Don't worry, Leonardo.
I'm sure we'll find out.
Whether we want to or not.
You wanted to see us, boss ? Yes.
I'd like you to meet your new allies in our battle against the turtles.
These frogs have sworn to aid me in the destruction of our enemies.
Frogs ? Frogs ? As Splinter has done with the turtles, I have named them after personal heroes of my own.
Attila the frog.
Genghis frog.
Rasputin, the mad frog.
And Napoleon Bonafrog.
Boss, the turtles are trained ninjas.
They'll mop up the floor with these wimps.
Not to worry.
I, the greatest martial arts warrior of them all, have personally trained them.
Show him, Napoleon.
Whatever you say master.
They might work out at that.
Well, my turtles, has there been any sign of activity from Shredder ? Nada.
Zilch.
Meganegatory.
In other words, nothing.
This silence is most strange.
Quick, guys, turn on the news ! What's up, April ? You'll see.
And it's not good ! This midtown bank was just robbed by four creatures which employees described as big green things like giant turtles.
Turtles ? Chill out, man.
I want to hear this.
What are your comments, mr.
mayor ? These turtles have terrorized the city long enough.
I'm ordering a special antiturtle squad to deal with this.
Captain Hoffman here will be in charge.
Don't worry, mr.
mayor.
We'll apprehend these criminals.
You have my word on it.
Dudes ! We're being framed ! I suspect that Shredder is somehow behind this.
And I suspect you're right, master.
Guys, we've gotta find those mock turtles and give them what for.
Splendid work, frogs.
This first test of your skills has gone swimmingly.
Well, sir, swimming's what we do best.
Are we ready to take over the whole city now ? Not quite.
We'll need more help.
What now, Shredder ? Most of the mutagen was lost when the canister fell.
I'll need more if I'm to create my army of mutants.
Unfortunately, what i sent you was the last of it.
But i can tell you how to make more.
Now, pay attention.
So, like, well, how do we find these dudes ? If we go to the scene of the crime, maybe we'll find a clue.
All right, turtles, freeze in your tracks ! Time to do the turtle trot ! Hasta lumbago, dudes ! Master Shredder says we have to steal a list of chemicals from here.
Isn't stealing bad ? I think so, but master Shredder knows best.
Being a mutant sure is confusing.
Leonardo here.
We just got another bulletin, guys.
Those unknown mutants have broken into the mallory chemical plant.
What could they want there ? Maybe Shredder's looking for a new metal polish for his face.
Let's go.
This is the fastest way there.
Dexonine and flouchist.
Ok.
We got what we came for.
And you're gonna get more than you bargained for ! All right ! Let's see what you creepolas look like ! Hold them off, Rasputin ! Whoa, that was some bright move ! Come on.
We can't let them get away ! Total bummer.
They got away.
I'm insulted.
How could anyone mistake those things for turtles ? We've got more serious problems.
Those chemicals they stole are components of the mutagen that Shredder used to create Rocksteady and Bebop.
Well, that means that now Shredder can make more mutants.
Not yet.
He still needs another chemical called nyotrinaline to make it work.
It's extremely rare.
April here.
We need you to check the database and find out where a supply of nyotrinaline is available.
Hang on a sec.
Ok, i've got it.
A shipment of the stuff is arriving by armored truck the argus chemical supply warehouse.
Great.
Thanks, April.
Was that the turtles you were talking to ? Talking to turtles ? Irma, you've been working too hard.
You ought to take a vacation.
Right.
In a nice, cool sewer.
April, the mayor's just ordered out a new antiturtle squad.
I want you to cover this.
I'm on my way, Bern.
More turtles ? Can I come ? No ! No ! Just asking.
All right, now mix the two chemicals carefully.
Splendid.
Now all it needs is a pinch of nyotrinaline.
Nyotrinaline ? You didn't mention that.
I thought i'd save it for a surprise to keep you on your toes.
Krang, you are unspeakably cruel.
Thank you.
You'll find a shipment arriving at the argus chemical supply warehouse.
You heard him.
Get that nyotrinaline now ! But, master shredder, What if we run into The turtles again ? Must i tell you Everything ? Destroy them ! They are evil ! But what if We talk to them ? You know, Reason with them ? Trust me, My innocent little frogs.
Would this face lie ? Now get me that chemical ! This is the antiturtle Attack squad.
Captain hoffman, Just how do you intend To find These mutant turtles ? This tracking device is Tuned to their biorhythms.
We'll find them No matter where they hide ! Good luck, captain.
You'll need it.
We're very close.
Turn right here ! There's the nyotrinaline Shipment.
Are you sure the frogs Will try for it ? No doubt about it.
Shredder can't formulate The mutagen without it.
What in blazes ? Looks like You were right, Donatello.
Check it out.
Here w We got company.
Give up, you guys, Or it'll be sauteed Frog legs for everybody.
All of you give up ! Now ! What's that thing ? Don't ask me ! I'm from out of town ! Hey, that thing just put Those frogs on ice.
Yeah, and it looks Like we're next ! Don't look now, dudes, But we're about to be Flash-frozen ! Not if i can help it ! Look out ! The hatch is jammed ! Help me get This blasted thing open ! Time to make Turtle tracks.
Really ! Let's haul shell, dudes.
Hold on, fellas.
We can't leave The frogs like that.
Maybe you haven't been Keeping up on current Events, leonardo.
They aren't exactly On our side.
Even so, They are mutants, Just like us.
We can't let That hoffman guy Capture them.
Leonardo's right.
We got to save them.
Right ! And at warp speed.
Stop them ! Thanks ! We needed that.
You escaped this time, But i'll get you yet ! So that's the story, Master splinter.
Yeah.
At least we kept Them from getting The nyotrinaline.
But what do we do With these frogs ? We can't keep them Frozen forever.
If we wish To win them over, We must show them Trust.
As always, You are right.
We'll melt the ice And set them free.
But what if They attack us again ? We'll just have to Take that chance.
What's going on ? Yeah ! Where are we ? You're in the sewers, And this is our home.
Yeah.
Welcome To turtle turf.
I fear We've been captured.
Yeah ! Well, at least We'll go down fighting.
Stop, everyone ! There will be No violence.
Turtles, Lay down your weapons.
You are free to go, Fellow mutants.
I'm so confused.
Why, master shredder said You and the turtles were evil.
I suggest you trust Your animal instincts.
We trusted shredder.
But now We can see that He's just using us.
Then maybe it's time You started using him.
I have a plan.
Listen We're real sorry, Master shredder.
The turtles got The nyotrinaline shipment.
You mutant maggots ! When i think of all I've done for you-- Brought you Out of the swamps, Taught you All you know ! Oh, but all is not lost, Master ! You see, we heard The turtles talking.
Yeah ! They're gonna Hide the chemical ! In stonewall prison-- Where you can't get it.
Stonewall prison.
I remember that joint.
I did time there once.
Yeah, me, too.
But it's been Closed for years.
Better still.
Then let's get there Immediately.
This old place sure Brings back memories.
Never mind that, you fool.
Just find that chemical.
I hope those frogs Didn't decide to Double-cross us.
If we want them to trust us, We have to trust them.
Well, here it comes-- The moment of truth.
They hid the chemicals In here, master shredder.
Excellent ! You've done well, frogs.
Greetings, shredhead ! You traitorous frogs ! You set me up ! That's right, tinface ! And now you're Taking the fall.
Now, where'd i learn To say stuff like that ? They're in here all right.
Let's go, men ! It's the Farewell, shellbacks ! They may get us, But they'll also get you ! Not if we look Like one of them.
Sayonara, You mutated meddlers.
Time to make Ourselves real scarce.
Does that mean run ? You frogs Catch on real fast.
There they go ! Open fire ! We got to find The sewer lines that Connect to the prison.
This mutant gas Will stop them.
Ooh, what is that ? Some kind Of knockout gas.
The prison Laundry room ! There's got to be A sewer under here ! Ooh, can't keep My eyes open.
Gasputting Me to sleep.
Hang on, all of you.
Rasputin, Use one of your Explosive arrows.
Blast ! The mayor's not Going to like this.
Ok, everything clear ? Now, you'll follow The sewers to the caves, Then to the old Underground railroad Which leads straight To the okefenokee.
Oh, it'll be good To get home.
Life's so much better in the swamp.
Thanks for coming over to our side.
Hey, thanks for showing us which one was the right side.
Wait a sec, dudes ! I almost forgot.
This ought to tide you guys over till you get back to bug city.
Pizza ! Thanks, but no thanks.

Yeah.
Some mutants are just plain weird, you know ?
