[MUTTERING.]
Ah-choo! Whoa! Eeh! Ow! Eee! We're under attack.
It must be shredder.
Come on out, shred-head! Chill out, dudes.
It's only me.
"Happy Birthday Irma"? Well, yeah.
I was decorating the place for the party.
Hey, that reminds me.
I forgot to invite someone.
Who's that? LikeIrma.
No, Michelangelo, I haven't forgotten about Irma's party.
We'll both be there.
Ok, but about the menu-- what do you think about pizza puffs with pizza dip, followed by a little pizza pudding? Oh, I can't discuss it now, Michelangelo.
We're here at the planetarium.
A meteorite just crashed in the area! Enough primping, April! You're on live in 20 seconds.
That's my cue, fellas.
See you tonight.
Ciao.
Professor Von ziflin, you claim the meteorite that landed last night is quite unusual.
Decidedly so, Ms.
O'Neill.
Its core is composed of an extremely rare isotope known as exaporon.
April, on TV: But why is there only half a meteorite? VON ZIFLIN: It split in two on impact.
We're keeping the other half under top security in order to examine it further at my laboratory across town.
[COUGH.]
What is going on? DONATELLO: Hey.
Someone's swiping the meteorite.
Yeah, and that someone is our favorite creep-- shredder.
This calls for action.
Stop.
Nothing will be gained by running around like a turtle with its head cut off.
We've got to get that fixed.
Here is the meteorite, krang.
Well, it's about time.
Once I harness the energy of the exaporon isotope, I'll have the world in the palm of my hands That is if I had hands.
VERNON: Well, that turned out to be one fine mess-- allowing some caped criminal to make off with a precious meteorite.
Don't worry, Vernon.
I've arranged a second interview with Professor Von ziflin.
And just where do you think you're sneaking off to? The coffee shop.
I need something to eat.
This diet is killing me.
Irma, for once, will you forget about food? Oh.
If only I could.
Irma, I need some help on this meteorite story.
Dig up everything you can about isotopes.
I can't stand it any longer! I must have something to eat! No.
Irma, come back! You can't go off your diet! Oh, no? Just watch me.
Now to crystallize the exaporon.
Just as I hoped.
It worked.
Big deal.
So you've crystallized it.
Now what? Whoever this exaporon-powered enlarging ray is aimed at will grow to six times his normal size.
Just what the world needs-- a 6-foot tall brain.
Wrong, my dear shredder.
I plan to use the enlarging ray on you.
Me? Why are you being so generous? I thought you hated me.
I do.
There's always the possibility it might malfunction, and who knows what might happen? I'll take that chance, krang.
Just think, I'll be a veritable tower of power.
We'll do a dry run first, just to make sure all the bugs are out.
Now, don't move.
This must be aimed precisely.
Whoa.
What's going on? What's happening to me? Ow! Get me down from here, and hurry! Patience, shredder, patience.
You vile vortex! Is this your idea of a joke? Stop complaining.
Except for a slight problem of headroom, it all went perfectly.
Now to test it above ground.
Just make sure we're in open area.
Please, April.
Just one little cookie.
Forget it, Irma.
Ooh, oh, look.
My favorite flavor of ice cream.
Mmm.
No way, Irma.
You're sticking to your diet, and that's that.
Irma? Where are you? Ha ha! I'll bet she's hiding in the alley.
Yoo-hoo.
Irma, where are you? She's here somewhere.
I can hear her stomach rumbling.
Whoa! What's that? Uh-oh.
Shredder.
I'm here, krang.
Send up the exaporon probe.
Oh! What's going on here? Turtles, come in! Turtles, come in, please! Anyone! What's wrong, April? Are you in trouble? Oh, boy, am I ever.
Just hang in there, April.
APRIL: Do I have a choice? Turtle power! What's the delay? Activate the enlarging ray.
Something is interfering with the transmission.
It's that meddlesome female reporter.
I'll handle her.
Hi, April.
Why are you hanging around in the alley? Irma! Quick! Get help! I'm afraid it's too late.
That's what you think, tin grin! Dude, you're about to get shell shocked.
Oh, hurry with that enlarging ray.
KRANG: I'm moving it into position now.
What's happening? APRIL: Oh, no! That weird Ray's has hit Irma! [GASP.]
We've got to get her out of there! [GROANING.]
It's no use.
We can't get past the electrical barrier.
Irma, are you ok? No.
That thing melted my ice cream.
Shredder is getting away! Sayonara, turtles, for now.
Whoa.
Bummer.
We lost him.
What now, fearless leader? We follow him.
Hold it.
What's that noise? Get back! It's volcanic lava! I wonder what that was all about? You look a little strange, Irma.
Are you sure you're ok? I've never felt better or hungrier.
I'll be in my office.
Well, Irma, have you dug up those meteorite reports yet? I was just about to do it, Vernon.
Good.
I'll go with you.
I think it's in that cabinet.
Ow! Oops.
Sorry.
You klutz! Ow! You and your big feet.
I'll have you know my feet are not big.
[LEATHER STRETCHES.]
Oh, on second thought, they do look a little bigger.
I'll need that file box.
Get the ladder, will you? You won't need it.
I think I can reach it with my.
.
My arms? Irma, you klutz.
Oops.
Sorry, Vernon.
Something startled me.
Find those files and bring them to my desk! Good heavens.
What's happening to me? What's in the test tube, Donatello? Some crystals I found where we encountered shredder.
Just as I suspected-- crystalized exaporon.
What does it mean? That Irma could be in big trouble, and I do mean big! IRMA: This can't be happening to me! Irma, are you all right? Oh, no! Come in, turtles! I need you! Did you say a 10-foot hole in the wall? Yes.
Something awful's happened to Irma.
She must have been kidnapped by a monster.
Uh, I hate to tell you this, April, but I'm afraid the monster just might be Irma.
KRANG: As usual, you botched a perfect plan.
Me? You were the one who aimed the enlarging ray at the wrong person! We need more exaporon to repair the apparatus.
Find the rest of that meteorite wherever it's hidden.
It won't be easy now that the turtles are on to me.
The turtles will have their flippers full trying to keep that woman from destroying the city.
Observe.
Oh, what a day.
First, I chip a nail.
And now this.
Oops.
Oh, excuse me.
I didn't mean to do that.
MICHELANGELO: Wow, dudes.
Check out Irma.
She's turned into a 30-foot-tall giant klutz.
There goes the neighborhood.
Oops.
Sorry.
It was an accident.
Yikes.
Oh, this is so embarrassing.
MAN: Get me out! [PEOPLE SCREAMING.]
I've got to get back to channel 6.
Maybe April can help me.
Uh, splendid.
She frightened everyone out of the building.
We'll have no trouble breaking into Von ziflin's laboratory.
This exaporon sensor will lead us to the meteorite.
Rock steady, use a blaster grenade.
Sure thing, boss.
Something's wrong.
This signal is growing weaker.
Blast it! The exaporon isn't here.
It must be hidden someplace else.
But where? This is a channel 6 emergency report on the giant woman.
We advise all viewers to remain calm, stay off the streets-- what? And above all, don't panic! MICHELANGELO: Look, there she is! We'll help you, Irma! Just try not to move.
The turtles.
Oops! Oh Uh-oh.
Oh.
Leonardo, look out.
We're headed right for those cables.
I can't stop! RAPHAEL: Leonardo, stop.
Or we'll be four toasted turtles! I can't! The brakes are out! I sometimes wonder what you guys would do without me.
Whoa.
Mondo move, Donatello! It's all in the wrist.
I'll handle these.
But it's not over yet.
We still have to fix that transmitter.
Will this help? Boy, is this a great way to travel or what? Ta-da! There's the nasty culprit.
Hey, not to worry, dudes.
This one's on me.
Thank you, turtles.
I feel like such an overgrown klutz.
Now, Irma, it's not that bad.
Yes, it is.
I'll never be normal again.
Aw, lighten up, Irma.
It's no biggie.
No biggie? Waah! Nice work, Michelangelo.
You and your big mouth.
Big mouth! Hey! Cut it out.
I just had my shell turtlewaxed.
And I used to think it would be fun to be tall! No, Irma, don't! [HONK.]
Oops.
I did it again.
Well, at least things can't get any worse.
They just did.
Listen to this.
And the military has been called out to take charge of this emergency.
Their assignment-- to sedate and capture this dangerous, overgrown menace.
Did you hear that? The entire army is after Irma.
Hey, like, maybe if she just scrunches down, they won't notice her, huh? We're gonna have to hide her out, and I know just the place.
APRIL: This is really out in the boonies.
I hope they gave me the right directions.
Oh, there's the airport, but where are the turtles? Irma? [SNORING.]
Some people look a lot taller when they're lying down.
I wish I'd brought more videotape.
I'll run out before I get to her knees.
Red alert, gang.
She's about to crank out a whole bunch of "zs.
" Look out! Run! Aah! Ahh.
Mmm.
Sounds like the all clear.
That was a definite 6.
5 on the ricotta scale.
Well, Donatello, making any progress? I'm hoping the exaporon will reverse the effects of the enlarging ray.
But I'll need a larger sample.
No problem.
Professor Von ziflin told me that the other half of the meteorite is in the planetarium vault.
Did you hear that, fellas? Let's make turtle tracks! Shredder, where are you? Krang, this exaporon sensor of yours is a piece of junk.
We searched all over and came up empty-handed.
And also empty-headed.
Do you realize where those turtles are at this very instant? They're headed for the planetarium.
LEONARDO: You there! I sure hope this works.
Hold it right there, sir.
VON ZIFLIN: Who are you? Military business.
Exactamundo! We've come for that meteorite, dude.
It's needed for operation Irma.
Oh, by all means.
Follow me.
RAPHAEL: Move it, Professor.
We military people work on a strict time schedule.
Ja, I'm hurrying as fast as I can.
There you have it, the other half of the meteorite.
Come to papa.
[CRASH.]
What's going on? Hurry, you cretins! We don't have all night! You ready, bebop? On the count of five.
Oh, never mind.
I'll do it myself.
Aah! Surprise! It's shredder! What is going on here? Army maneuvers, Professor.
Top secret stuff.
We're about to engage the enemy, and it could get messy.
I'd better leave.
I'm a scientist, not a jungle fighter.
Let's do it, turtles! What do you know? Just like Friday night at the bowling alley.
Heads up, dudes! Quickly! Grab the meteorite.
Right, boss.
Cowabunga! Yo, geeks! Try this hula hoop on for size! Ah, what the Gotcha! Aah! Ohh! DONATELLO: They're getting away! RAPHAEL: That's what they think.
Hold it.
The turtle-com.
APRIL: Guys, we're in big trouble.
And I do mean big! Irma just woke up, and she's headed for the city with a huge case of the munchies.
LEONARDO: I don't see any sign of her.
RAPHAEL: Well, she shouldn't be too hard to see.
Check it out! There she is! Food.
I must have food.
LEONARDO: She's growing taller by the minute.
That's why she's so hungry.
If I can get her to swallow this large, economy-size exaporon capsule, it might reverse the growth process.
Lots of luck.
We got to beat out the entire army first.
DONATELLO: Irma, it's us, the turtles! Turtles? Yeah, you remember.
The good guys who always wear green.
Oh, right.
April's friends.
I mixed up an antidote that might work.
What do I do with this? Swallow it! Yeah! Then like call us in the morning.
Forget it.
I can't swallow pills.
When I was little, my mother gave me my medicine in a spoonful of ice cream.
Oh, but, Irma, you're a big girl now.
Real big.
And we've got big problems.
VERNON: What a scoop! April will be so jealous when she finds out I beat her to this story.
I love that idea! [RINGING BICYCLE BELL.]
LEONARDO: What the heck is that? Irma's story gave me a totally awesome idea.
Help me lift this thing, dudes.
Ok, Donatello, pop in that pill.
Now, let's get shakin'! This is the moment I've been waiting for! Call the station and tell them to put me on live feed in 30 seconds.
Now what? MICHELANGELO: You scarf it down! What else? Ok.
If you say so.
I've always dreamed of doing this.
Ahh! What's happening? I--I'm shrinking! Way to go, Donatello! Ho-ho! Fantastic! Vernon fenwick here with a channel 6 exclusive eyewitness report on the capture of that Mountain-size menace Irma? Sorry, Vernon, you're too late.
There's no more ice cream left.
Great, Donatello! What do you call that dance? The turtle trot.
Trust me.
This is one move I did not teach them.
Hey, dudes, it's scarfin' time! We got 31 flavors of ice cream pizza, everything from vanilla meatballs to my personal favorite, anchovy butterscotch! Do you have any chocolate fudge with extra garlic? Oh, for sure, little lady.
One for each delicate hand.
[CHUCKLING.]
"Little lady.
" I never thought I'd hear that again.
You never will, if you keep on eating like that.
What about your diet? Mmm, mmm! I am through with diets, April.
After all, I just lost [LAUGHTER.]
