When the evil shredder attacks these turtle boys don't cut him no slack teenage mutant ninja turtles teenage mutant ninja turtles splinter taught them to be ninja teens He's a radical rat.
Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines That's a fact, Jack.
Raphael is cool but rude Michelangelo is a party dude party! Teenage mutant ninja turtles teenage mutant ninja turtles teenage mutant ninja turtles heroes in a half shell turtle power lions gate entertainment MICHELANGELO: I am seriously starved, dudes.
There's only one cure for these mondo munchies.
No time for pizza, guys.
We have to check out April's tip about shredder being seen in the vicinity.
[TIRES SQUEALING.]
Hey, guys, look! Some goon is mugging that old lady.
Give me that handbag, uhLady.
Never, you evil man.
Come on, dudes.
Let's bleep that creep.
Ooh--I said, give me that thing.
Never, never, never! Didn't anyone ever tell you it's not nice to mug sweet old ladies? Says who? You big brute! [SNORTS.]
You should be ashamed.
I'll take care of you, lady, after I splatter these green freaks all over the wall.
Hey, put me down! Catch, Raphael.
Yii! Whoa! Hot potato! Catch, Michelangelo.
Oh, like, take a hike, lumpy lips.
Oof! Ooh, I'm gettin' out of here.
Whoa, what a wimp! That was a piece of cake.
He won't bother you again, ma'am.
Well, uh, thank you so much.
Oh, no thanks needed, elderly dudette.
Let me give you a little reward-- fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies.
Mmm! Why, thank you, ma'am.
I gotta hobble along now.
Bye! That's a sweet little old lady.
Hmm.
I wonder.
Well, they're not pizza, but at least they're round.
Wait, Michelangelo! We can't eat cookies if we want to stay in fighting trim.
Besides, I'd like to run some tests on these cookies.
There was something funny about that old lady.
They bought it, boss.
Amazing! You oafs actually managed to pull it off.
Those cookies will spell the end of the teenage mutant ninja turtles.
This is totally lameola, dude-- wasting perfectly good chocolate chip cookies.
Ok, guys.
Let's see what happens when I drop this cookie in this beaker.
Ha! Just as I suspected.
They weren't made with baking soda.
They're made with some kind of anti-mutagen.
This must be shredder's work.
One bite of these, and we might have all degenerated into lower forms of life.
You mean like slugs? Or worms? Or amoebas? Worse.
Human beings.
Human beings? Well, that could be totally tubular.
Surfing, going to parties, meeting chicks.
I always wondered what it would be like to ride in a Western rodeo.
So, what are we waiting for, dudes? Let's chow down.
No, no! You mustn't! Donatello is right, my students.
As humans, you would lose your ninja skills and powers.
The city would be at the mercy of shredder and krang.
That's why I'm tossing these cookies in the garbage.
Oh, well, it was a sweet dream while it lasted.
As soon as the turtles become weak humans, we will crush them like bugs.
Ha ha--oh, boy! I love to crush bugs.
Uh, what makes you think the turtles will eat those cookies, boss? What teenager can resist chocolate chip cookies? Why, shredder! I didn't know baking was one of your things.
A ninja warrior is trained in many skills, krang.
Ha ha ha! I know a splendid recipe for boiled brain.
Oh, a comedian.
Spare me! It's time to execute phase two of our plan.
This ship has a cargo of electronic parts we need to repair the technodrome, and you two are going to steal it.
All by ourselves? No.
We need people who look like waterfront types, not rhinos and wart hogs.
Find that gang you once belonged to, and use them for the job.
GeeOur old gang I wonder if they'll recognize us? Move itNow.
If we don't stop this ratings slide soon, we'll be in the cellar.
And I don't have to tell you people what that means.
I've got a really hot idea, boss.
How about a show on matchbook collecting? As a matter of fact, I have-- [BUZZER SOUNDS.]
Next.
What about an expose on big city gangs? Hmm.
Maybe you've got something.
Violence, crime, brutality-- all the elements of great family viewing.
Get on it, April.
Right away, chief.
HmmNot bad.
I think I can pass myself off as a gang member.
Mean streets, here I come.
I'll just leave a note, so the guys won't worry.
It will be mondo tubuloso to be human.
Donatello did say it could be a major bummer.
I'll never know if I don't try.
Nothing's happening.
That whole story must be bogus.
Besides, these cookies don't even taste good.
My hands! My face! My feet! I'm changing, but into what? Aah! Uh Whoa, what happened? Human hands? Bodacious! Where's a mirror? I got to check this out.
I'm human.
A human teenager.
A hunky one, at that.
What am I waiting for? Bright lights, big city, here comes Michael j.
Angelo.
Radical wheels, dude.
Think you can shred the course? Are you kidding, dude? You are talking to a ninja tur-- uh, skateboard wizard.
Ok, wiz.
Let's see some of those ninja moves.
Whoa! Hey! I wasn't ready! Aah! Aah! Whoa! Ha ha--some wizard.
My grandmother has better moves than that.
Whoa! Unh! Way to go, clumsy.
What a dweeb! Man.
Being human isn't all that excellent.
Maybe I should have listened to master splinter.
That does it! I've had it! I'm going back to the lair.
Help! Help! Uh-oh, looks like that dudette's in serious trouble.
Out of the way, twerp.
That tears it.
Now I'm truly steamed.
Aah! Ok, babe, suppose you tell us why you were snoopin' around our turf.
Uh, well, you see That is That girl's voice.
It sounds familiar.
Uh, let me at her, lugnut.
I'll teach her to spy on us.
MICHELANGELO: It's April.
Wait a sec, guys.
You got it all wrong.
I wasn't spying, I was, uhUh-- checking you out.
Heh heh heh! You checking us out? Yeah.
I wanted to see if you were tough enough to have me as a member.
[LAUGHING.]
So, you think you're real tough, do you? WellFairly tough.
Yeah? Well, we'll just see about that.
If you can take on Jersey red here in a fight to the finish, you're in the gang.
I'm gonna eat youse alive! We'll catch you later, red, after you wipe up the place with this snoop.
Aah! OohOoh I guess I showed her.
Uh-oh.
Looks bad.
Jersey red is going to pound April into pizza dough.
Bodacious! I'm changing back into a turtle.
It must be the adrenaline in my bloodstream.
You don't know when to quit do ya? Ha ha ha! Guess I have to teach ya.
April, duck! Hyah! Whoa! Turtle power does it again.
Hey, red, you done yet? Whoa! What hit me? I don't know how you did it, babe, but looks like you're the winner.
Why, I am? Then I'm in the gang? Not so fast.
You gotta burglarize a pad and bring us the loot.
You mean breaking and entering? Hey, what's the matter? Chicken? No way.
In fact, I know just the person to rob.
Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go! April's getting in way over her head.
I'd better follow her.
Has anybody seen Michelangelo? I think he's still upset about those cookies.
[EXPLOSION.]
What was that? It came from the lab.
It's the anti-mutagen.
It exploded.
It's unstable.
It's a good thing none of us tried that stuff.
SPLINTER: But I fear one of you has.
See this note Michelangelo left? "Dear dudes, if these cookies aren't bogus, "by the time you scope this note, I'll be human.
Cowabunga!" Let's go find him.
Wait, my impetuous disciples.
Finding him will not help if you do not have an antidote to the formula.
I'm working on it right now.
Whew.
This was a whole lot easier when I was a turtle.
What luck! April's window's open.
I'll be back in a flash with the stash.
Yo, dudette! Whoa! Hey, chill out! I'm a friend.
Oh, yeah? Prove it.
I'm the dude who tossed Jersey red in that dumpster.
So that's how I did that.
And you told me to duck, too! But anyway, what are you doing in my apartment? I came to warn you that gang's mondo rude-- uh, really dangerous.
Thanks for the warning, but I'm a reporter on a hot story.
Sure hope this junk jewelry of mine fools those goons.
What do ya think? Uh-oh.
Uh--eh--gotta run.
What are you doing? Michelangelo? It's you! I guess I better give you the straight scoop.
Where do we start? There are 12 million people in this city.
Look! That's him.
You're right.
It's Michelangelo as a human teenager.
Michelangelo! Whoa! Two-legged turtles.
You sure gave us a scare.
I gave you a scare.
Hey, hold still while I spray you with this antidote.
[COUGHING.]
Hey, cool it with that stuff! Uh, Donatello, how long is this formula supposed to take? It's instantaneous.
Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't instantaneous mean right away? Oh, wow! This is excellent.
My pimples are history.
Hey, thanks, guys.
That wasn't Michelangelo.
We're losing valuable time.
The anti-mutagen in Michelangelo's system could already be unstable.
Which means? That Michelangelo is a walking time bomb.
But April, this is too dangerous.
This mutagen is so unstable, I don't know when I'm gonna lose my turtle powers.
That's ok, Michelangelo, I don't need anyone's help.
Uh-oh, the gang's all here.
I better stay out of sight.
Ok.
You got the, uh, merchandise? Right here.
It was a piece of cake.
AhhNice loot.
All right, babe.
You're in the gang.
[RUMBLING.]
What's that? A runaway subway car? Yo, lugnut! High five! Jersey red! Uh-oh, it's rock steady and bebop.
What do you freaks want? Don't you recognize us? Oh, we're your old buddies, bebop and rock steady.
You can't fool us.
You guys are better looking than they were.
Maybe this will convince you.
Nice.
I'm convinced.
Nobody else but bebop and rock steady would be so dumb.
So how come you got turned into animals? We'll tell you later.
Meanwhile, we got a job for your gang.
This ray will make any traces of the anti-mutagen glow green.
Maybe we can pick up Michelangelo's trail.
I just hope we find him soon.
Remember what that stuff did to that garbage can.
Bingo! I've located him.
His tracks lead into the park.
Let's go, turtles.
All right.
Wait here till I check it out.
All clear.
Come on up.
Now what, bebop? Now what, rock steady? Now whatOh.
I forgot.
The boss ain't here.
Maybe we get the electronic stuff.
I've got to find a radio to warn the authorities.
Ah! There's one.
Hello.
Hello.
Is anyone out there? Oh, boy, look at all these levers and buttons and stuff.
I wonder how this works.
Keep it coming.
Steady, steady.
Hey, wait a minute.
Drop me.
Drop me! No, don't drop me.
Don't drop me! Whoa! Come in, anyone-- anyone but you, that is.
Wait.
Don't I know you? I don't think so.
Got to go.
It's that reporter dame, April O'Neill.
Grab her! Hang on, April.
Here I come.
You might be Tarzan, but I'm not Jane.
Michelangelo, you're a turtle again.
Let's hope it lasts this time.
Upsy-Daisy, hornhead.
Ugh! Oh, mondo bummer.
I'm changing again.
I just wish my body would make up its mind.
Hey! Look what we got-- a human turtle.
Looks like somebody's been nibbling mother shredder's cookies.
Let me go, dude, and I promise not to hurt you.
Big talk for a guy that just lost his turtle powers.
Haul him away, bebop.
You ex-turtles are going to be extinct.
RAPHAEL: Bonzai! Don't count on it, Boulder-brain.
ALL: Turtles fight with honor! Way to go, turtles! Put me down, you muscle-bound mutant.
Oh, happy to oblige, when we get a little bit higher.
Hang on, April.
Here I come.
I don't know where you came from, but you're gonna wish you never left.
I bet you say that to all the turtles.
Don't you fellas know I never work without a net.
I think you'll agree this is real slick.
Whoa! Whoa! Maybe a bath will help you clean up your act.
EhYou're going to get it, turtle.
Uh-uh.
You are.
Whoa! Whoa! This don't look good.
[SNORTS.]
I'm getting out of here.
Give up, turtles, or I drop your snoopy friend.
Don't listen to him, guys He's bluffing I hope.
I reckon I'll just lasso me a little heifer.
Yeehoo! I need some total turtle power.
Oh, get real! You're just a puny human now.
Ugh! So am I, but that doesn't stop me.
Oof! Yeow! Well, what do you know.
A flying rhino.
One down, one to go.
Whoa! Oof! Oof! Aah! Aah! Can't those guys ever just leave through the door? Hold still while I spray you with the antidote.
Fantabuloso! I'm changing back! DONATELLO: Only this time, it's permanent.
All right! I'm yours truly again.
Hey, Michelangelo! How you doin', buddy? Turtle or human, I still think you're the greatest.
Careful, April.
You might turn him human again.
No way, dude.
I'm packing shell.
Being human is totally bogus.
Not a bad story, April.
Not a bad story at all This part about the gang robbing a ship-- that's good-good-good stuff Thanks, chief.
But who'd believe this bunk about teenage turtles mopping up the deck with human gangsters? Next time, just stick to the facts.
Right, chief.
I can hardly wait for this tubular pizza, dudes.
I know you'll like it.
Right--we made it in honor of your return to turtlehood And also a memento of your adventures as a human.
A chocolate chip pizza.
Blecchh! Chocolate chip pizza? I think it'll be a while before Michelangelo gets back his taste for those things.
Should we save him a slice? Nah! Nah! Another piece, please.
