8910-009 - Splinter No More

This time I have it, Krang, A scheme that will finally rid us of those blasted turtles once and for all.
Yeah.
Right.
And just how do you propose doing this ? Simple.
The police are understaffed.
Even now they are working on a plan to build a robot police force.
And what has that to do with you ? I will steal the robot, program it to obey only me, then create an army of clones with which to destroy the turtles.
All right.
But remember, if you fail, you shall spend the rest of your miserable existence with these two dolts.
Yeah.
With us.
Have no fear.
I will not fail.
Cheer up, Irma.
There are thousands of nice guys in the city.
Oh, yeah ? So how come I can't meet one ? You will, Irma.
Just be patient.
Hey, baby.
What's shaking, sweet thing ? April, you were right.
My patience finally paid off.
Forget it, Irma.
Just keep waiting.
That's strange.
The door was unlocked.
No wonder.
I'm being robbed ! Hiya, ladies.
You drop that couch this instant.
Good idea, doll.
Saves me taking the stairs.
Stop that ! You can't take my things.
Oh, the nerve of those creeps ! They wouldn't get away with this if the turtles were here.
Most people would want the boys in blue.
She wants the boys in green.
Steady, Donatello.
Do not lose your concentration.
I'm trying, Splinter.
Hold steady, dudes.
It's just about screwed in.
Wha--hang on ! I hope we're not being graded on this.
All things in life are subject to examination, my young friends.
Come in, guys.
It's an emergency.
What's wrong, April ? My apartment has just been burglarized.
They took everything.
What a bummer, man.
Hold on, April.
We'll be right there.
Turtles.
What about the light bulb ? Oh, yeah.
Right.
Hey, dynamite catch.
I am so angry, Irma.
This city is overrun with thieves and hoodlums.
Gosh, April, don't just bite it.
Fight it.
What do you mean ? Well, do a story on it for channel 6 news.
Irma, you're right.
I will.
Who are you calling ? My contact at police headquarters.
He owes me one.
Ok, fellas.
Keep your eyes open now.
Oh, wow, dudes.
Scope that out.
That's the same van April described.
Step right up, guys, for some really hot buys.
Yeah, you want to buy this TV that we just picked up ? It's a real steal.
Hey, I recognize that.
It's April's.
In fact, all of this stuff's been stolen from April's apartment.
Ok, bozos, hand it over.
I guess these clowns are looking for trouble, huh ? Ok, wimps.
Let's rumble.
Ready for a little workout, guys ? Radical notion, dude.
Turtle costumes ? Oh, that's real scary, ain't it ? Oh, yeah.
Real scary.
Hey, it worked before.
Why not a second time ? Lift ! Things are looking up.
Yeah.
Now that is scary.
You see, there are ways of settling disputes without violence.
I'm glad it worked.
Couldn't hold this thing up another 10 minutes.
Ok, i've got the address.
Thanks.
Special delivery for April O'Neill.

They outnumber us 3 to 1.
There's no way We can fight them.
