Meaning what? Meaning if we can figure out a pattern, we might get a fix on the exact location of the technodrome.
Like, all I care is it's down there, and we're up here.
For now.
But you never know what kind of scheme tin grin is cooking up next.
You are right, Leonardo.
Constant vigilance is the best weapon against tyrants.
Still worried about shredder's next move, I see.
Well, give your brains a rest and help me decide where I should spend my vacation.
Oh, a little r 'n' r, huh? Yes, but these places look so lovely I just can't make up my mind.
To journey without a point is pointless.
I hear Florida is nice this time of year.
Hey, what's that shaking? Whoa.
Talk about bad vibes.
Do you suppose krang is causing another earthquake? We'd better get topside and find out what's going on.
Come on, turtles! Wait for me! I smell a news story.
That's not all you smell.
These are the sewers, you know.
Like, how are we gonna find what's causing all this shaking? I don't think that will be too hard, Michelangelo.
[PEOPLE SCREAMING.]
Now there's something you don't see every day.
Holy guacamole! It's humongous! A dinosaur! It's a real, live dinosaur! A diplodocus, to be exact.
They were, uh, are plant eaters.
Huge, but harmless.
Dude, you've got a really weird definition of harmless.
Harmless or not, we've got to stop that thing.
Turtle power! He's what you might call a cockeyed optimist.
Let's scare it toward the river.
I hate to be a spoil sport, but exactly how do we do that? Yeah, I left my nuclear bazooka in my other shell.
Get out! Yeah, get out! Get out of here! Go on! Aah! Huh? Whoa! Boy, he really hung me out to dry.
Whoa.
Dig it, dudes.
I think he wants to get down and party.
Yeah, well, a 20-ton dinosaur can't party in the middle of the city.
[WHINING.]
Watch out! Runaway tail! Now what? We've got to go after it.
Like, how come? 'Cause if we didn't, it wouldn't be much of an episode.
Oh, right.
It's gone.
DONATELLO: Vanished completely.
Well, at least he won't be hard to follow.
Help! Unh! Hey, way to go, Michelangelo.
You solved the mystery of the disappearing dinosaur.
Forget about that! How about solving the case of the terrified turtle? Where do you think it leads? I don't know, but we're going to find out.
I was afraid he might say that.
You incompetent imbeciles! Instead of that silly deplodocus, why didn't you send up something fierce to deal with the turtles-- like, a Tyrannosaurus Rex? Gee, boss, it ain't easy getting dinosaurs to obey.
Yeah, they're all muscle and no brains.
I won't say it.
It's too easy.
[BEEP.]
What is it, krang? Stop that petty bickering and get on with what you came for! I'm still not certain why you probed us up to this subterranean prehistoria? I told you before-- we need that crystal.
Its radiation can recharge our power cells, if we can cross the jungle and take possession of it.
Simple.
We'll use one of the antigravitation skimmers.
Really? You're in for a few surprises.
Krang, you mustn't worry so much.
You'll put lines in that handsome face of yours.
All right, shredder, find out the hard way.
It's your funeral.
We're approaching the crystal now, krang.
[SNORTS.]
This will be a piece of cake.
Aiee! Aaah! Aah! Aah! What's going on here? Krang, the skimmer is losing power! I tried to warn you.
The crystal's radiation canceled out the antigravity rays.
I tried to tell you.
But would you listen? No! Yeow! Yeow! A piece of cake, someone said? It looks more like a mud pie to me! Sometimes I really crack myself up.
I'm so glad you're amused, krang.
Have you figured out a way to get the crystal? Rest assured, I'm working on it.
I don't believe it.
A prehistoric world.
Still in the dinosaur stage.
Sealed off for millions of years.
But how did we get here? I got a hunch one of shredder's modules broke through the outer chamber.
Uh-oh, here comes one of their flying welcome wagons.
[AAK.]
Whoa! Whoa! [ROARS.]
[GULP.]
Now I know what an anchovy on my pizza feels like.
[GRRR.]
Is that what I think it is? It sure is.
A tyrannosaurus Rex-- the most ferocious flesh-eater that ever lived.
Maybe this one's a vegetarian.
So much for that idea.
[GRRR.]
[GRRR.]
Looks like they're fighting over lunch.
I wonder if they'll fight this hard over the check? Let's not wait around to find out.
Everybody ok? I'll let you know as soon as my pulse catches up to me.
Now what? Whatever it is, be ready for it! [WHIMPERS.]
All right! It's the colossal fossil.
It's ok.
He won't hurt us.
Unless he climbs into our laps.
Hey, chill, dude.
That tickles.
I think he likes you, Michelangelo.
This is great.
Nobody's going to mess with us while we're on dippy' back.
Dippy? Yeah, dippy the diplodocus.
Look! It look like a bunch of shredder's modules! You were right, Donatello, they did break through the crust.
Let's kick some shell.
Hang on, guys.
The diplodocus express is on its way.
Since we can't use the skimmers to reach the crystal, we'll just have to do it on foot.
All right, mutants, into the jungle.
Sure thing, banana.
That's bwana.
Now, move it.
Every day, the same boring image.
Maybe I should think about subscribing to cable.
Wait.
What's this? The turtles! How did they get there? No matter.
I'll send those interfering reptiles a welcoming committee.
Faster, my slaves.
Faster! At last, a fortress that even the turtles cannot overwhelm.
And should they try, they'll be in for a few surprises.
Ha ha ha ha ha! [WHIMPERS.]
Uh-oh.
Rock soldiers.
And they're headed straight for us! Hey, no problem.
Dippy will take care of them.
That blasted dinosaur.
I'll show him who's the dominant life form around here.
[CRIES.]
Aaah! Whoa! Whoa! Oh, yuck.
Tar! Yeah, and we're, like, sinking deeper.
Don't give up.
Maybe someone will come along and pull us out.
Right.
Like some archaeologist, years from now.
Dippy, all is forgiven.
Just get us out of this.
Thanks, big guy.
Oh, and I thought melted mozzarella was gooey.
Whoa! Unh! [Aaak!.]
Hey, where's Michelangelo? Aah! Unh! Heh heh! Now you know what you'll get if you cross a turtle with a Turkey.
That is oh so humoroso.
Following dinosaurs into large holes wasn't a very smart plan.
Donatello's right.
Even with dippy's help, we can't keep up with those modules.
[ARR.]
[ARR.]
So much for dinosaurs.
Now down to business.
Rock steady, bebop, get that crystal.
All right, boss.
[SNORTS.]
Waah! Uhh! Ohh! You clumsy cretins.
It's too slick, boss.
[SNORTS.]
We can't climb it.
Ooh, I got a idea.
Neat idea.
Stop, stop, stop! Look at that! Those look like laser beams.
Yeah.
Either these dino dudes are putting on a light show or Or shredder and his gang are up to their old tricks.
Let's go, dippy.
Mush.
You idiots could have blasted it to pieces! Now, treat that crystal gently.
Almost got it, boss.
Ow! Watch it! Whoa! Ow! Got it! And we've got you, shredder! The turtles! Even in the lost world I can't lose you.
This microwave ray will assure them of a warm reception.
APRIL: The lava! It's melting! Oh! Whoa! There's never an ice age around when you need one.
Help! Aah! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Rock steady, bebop, follow me.
[SNORTS.]
And I wanted to watch the turtles get their lava lumps.
This way, dippy.
You can do it.
Atta boy.
Way to go.
You did it! Hooray, dippy! We made it! But just barely.
I'm a mere shell of my former self.
Quick, Donatello! Shredder and his henchmutants are getting away! You heard him, dippy.
Huh? Whoa! It's the crystal that was up there.
I think he misses it.
Wow! Oh, more than that.
I've got a feeling that crystal's a source of life to the creatures here in this prehistoric world.
Without it, they just might perish.
So, like, what are we waiting for? Yeah.
Let's get it back.
[RAAHR.]
Here it is, krang-- your precious crystal.
Well, it's about time.
Hmm.
Shredder, this crystal is exactly like you.
You mean it's flawless? No.
I mean it's cracked! A crack? Where? Right there.
Shredder, you metal-faced moron, this ruins everything.
A crack like this will distort the crystal's molecular harmonics.
Its entire energy flow will be flawed.
This is all your fault.
I told you to handle it carefully.
But, boss, [SNORTS.]
You was the one who dropped it.
Quiet, you idiot! Stop your squabbling, all of you! I see once again I'll have to save your pathetic posteriors.
[WHIMPERS.]
Poor thing.
He's really taking this hard.
Really.
It's like he's got a heavy relationship going with that glowing disco ball.
But why does shredder and krang want the crystal? They're probably planning to use its special properties to power up the technodrome.
That means we've got to break into that fortress of krang's and get it back.
How do we get in there? That's a good question, April.
A little more to the right.
Don't you have anything better to do than comment? Actually, no.
I've already set up foot and rock soldier patrols around the fortress.
Good idea.
I'm surprised you thought of it.
[POUNDING.]
Now what? Someone or something's pounding on the hull.
Whoever it is, tell them we don't want any.
We're not getting anywhere this way.
I'm not surprised.
The walls are 3 feet thick and pure titanium.
Nice try, dippy, but no cigar.
I hate to admit it, but we turtles need help.
[RAAHR.]
[RUMBLING.]
What's that rumbling noise? For once, it's not Michelangelo's stomach.
Oh, what's going on? I think I know.
Watch.
Woo-hoo! Looks like dippy called in heavy hitters! Uh-oh.
They're busting in.
Impossible.
No one can break into this place.
Krang! Use the laser cannons! I can't.
I need all the power here.
Turtle power! Turtle power! It's every mutant for himself! Try to beat a strategic retreat, but with dignity.
Yeow! What a glorious mess.
Exactamundo.
Just like my bedroom.
Come on, we've got to stop krang before he uses that crystal.
It's fixed.
Now to use it to recharge the technodrome's power cells.
Never mind the crystal.
We've got bigger problems.
What could be bigger than this? I rest my case.
Don't touch that dial, dude! You're too late, turtles.
I'm recharging the technodrome at this very moment.
Haven't you heard, brain bag? It's never too late.
Aah! Wee shah ooh baah! It ain't going to be that easy, shell backs! Whoa! Unh! Quick.
Grab the crystal.
Not so fast, turtles.
You must still deal with me.
Turtles fight with honor.
Yes, but I fight dirty.
I got it! Yeah, you mean you had it.
Hey! Pass interference! To me, rocky! I'm open! Intercepted in the end zone by the green machine.
Cowabunga! They're getting away! Correction-- they've gotten away.
And it's back to the technodrome for us.
Shredder, you're benched! Oh, I was afraid you'd say that.
There, good as new.
This tar makes a perfect patch.
Thanks for the help, dippy.
Now that the crystal is back where it belongs, it's time for us to head back up to the surface.
So long, big fella.
Poor dippy.
He's really gonna miss us.
Hey, April, maybe you ought to come back here for your vacation.
Huh? To a prehistoric continent? Sure.
What more could you ask for? You've got gorgeous tropical sunsets.
Yeah.
And warm, loving friends.
[SCREECH.]
Aah! And flights leaving every half hour.
Hey, come on! Let's get her back here! APRIL: Help! lions gate home entertainment
