Michelangelo is a party dude Party! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Heroes in a half shell Turtle power Stop, you fools! It's us! It's us! Oh, those idiots.
[GROANING.]
How could they not recognize my Technodrome? [SHREDDER.]
Where are we? Where else? Dimension X.
[ROCKSTEADY.]
This is Dimension X? Yes, and what's worse, we've landed in the icky part.
Gee, it's beautiful.
We've got to get this place working again.
Take your playmate and survey the damage.
Gee, I don't think these transporters are working.
Oh, great.
That means we'll have to radio the nearest Rock soldier base for assistance.
Arr! How can we radio for help if the radio doesn't work? Those stupid earthlings! This is all their fault! Why, you're an earthling.
All earthlings must suffer! Wait, Krang! Save you vengeance for those who deserve it: those accursed turtles and their friends at Channel 6.
And how am I supposed to do that when none of our equipment works? You still have the transwarp thrusters, do you not? Yes, of course! And with them, I can get the communications equipment we need.
Shredder, you're brilliant.
It's nice to be appreciated.
[RAPHAEL.]
I don't believe it! We finally got rid of Shredder.
And best of all, before he could get his evil hands on Channel 6's latest transmitting equipment.
Knowing him, he would've turned it into some powerful new weapon of destruction.
Do you realize what this means, dudes? Yeah: Turtles retire with honor.
I can resume my studies of the martial arts.
I can get back to my inventions.
I can get back to making pizzas.
I don't know about you, but this turtle can use a well-deserved vacation.
You know, London.
Paris.
Borneo.
Some real fun.
Finally.
At last, there'll be some peace in this city.
Peace? Who wants peace? Our viewers thrive on disasters.
Burne is right.
How are we going to fill our newscasts if no one's trying to conquer the planet? Looks like you'll just have to go back to covering pet shows, Vernon.
Nonsense.
Luckily, there's always crime in this town.
[WOMAN SCREAMS.]
See what I mean? Oh! Stop, punk! Wow! And there go our Turtles! Well, what are you waiting for? Go.
Go, go, go, go, go! [BANGING.]
[KRANG.]
Splendid! With these transwarp thrusters, we can return to the earthlings' dimension and snag that channel 6 transmitting equipment.
All we need to do is get inside, place the four transwarp thrusters at the base of the Channel 6 building, and blast it like a rocket back here to Dimension X.
We will make sure the Turtles and their friends are in the building at the time! I shall have my vengeance! But wait! How can any of us sneak into channel 6 undetected? That's easy.
Bebop and Rocksteady will do it.
For a talking brain, I think you've lost your mind.
These two will stick out like a couple of sore thumbs.
Not when I get through with them.
[ELECTRICAL CHARGE.]
The maintenance crew-- Ach! Nothing ever works in this stupid place! Holographic cloaking chamber! Hop in.
This ain't gonna be like going to the dentist, is it? In a way, yes.
You'll be a better person for it.
This had better work, Krang.
It will.
Just watch.
[ELECTRICAL CHARGE.]
Youyou undid their mutation! Not quite.
It's merely an illusion.
Yuck! I look awful! No fair.
I was just getting used to being a wart hog.
Relax.
You're still your same old ugly selves.
Look in that mirror.
Oh! What a relief.
Yeah.
I was really scared there for a minute.
You have exactly three hours in which to infiltrate channel 6 and get the thrusters in place.
After that, the cloaking wears off and you return to normal.
Take this Pretendicon with you.
What's a Pretendicon? Something to help you lure the Turtles to Channel 6.
Then, make certain they're brought back here.
[MECHANICAL HUM.]
Now, go! And don't come back without that building! Next time, I'm gonna insist we fly first class! Boy, look at all the great places.
All I need now is my Amphibian Express card.
Caution, Raphael.
One should seek culture rather than credit.
Master, we are culture.
Mutant turtles, remember? Culture, we don't need.
We need action, fun, relaxation.
Hmm.
Perhaps you will need credit.
This new pizza-flipping machine should work great.
After a few minor adjustments.
All right, it's bake-off time! What? I don't believe it! Fellow dudes, we have got a crisis on our hands of epic proportions.
What is it, Michelangelo? Invaders from another planet? Another evil ninja warlord trying to take over the world? Worse! We're out of pepperoni! I guess we're gonna have to go topside and buy some.
We'd better bring our weapons.
Those streets are dangerous.
Yeah, but at least Shredder and his goons aren't around to bother us anymore.
Whoa! Why'd they have to put that building right where we was going? Come on, we gotta get inside and get those thrusters in place.
Wait! First we got to activate this here Pretendicon like Shredder told us to.
What are your orders? How the heck is that thing supposed to lure the Turtles here? Shredder showed me.
Watch.
[BUZZING, HUMMING.]
Find the Turtles.
Find the Turtles.
Find the Turtles.
Find the Turtles.
Find the Turtles.
Okay, now we have to put these thrusters in place.
But first we've got to get some new duds.
Ooh, ooh, look! There's a used clothing store.
We can swipe some new threads there.
Will that be check, cash, or credit card? I think we'll use our Oblivion Express.
I don't believe it, dudes.
Every pizza parlor in town is out of pepperoni.
Yeah, they must be experiencing a severe sausage shortage.
And don't ask me to say that again.
Cut it out, punk.
Well, at least the street crime hasn't been too bad.
Yeah; at this rate, we'll only have to fight crime four days a week.
Gimme your money.
I've got a better idea.
Give me your knife.
It's yours.
Whoa, this town is, like totally dull-o-rama since Shredder split the scene.
Maybe it really is time to go to Europe, fellas.
May I see your passes? Passes? We don't need no stinking passes.
I'm sorry, you can't enter this area unless you work here.
Why, I ought to-- Easy, Bebop, dearest chum.
That's just it, your honor.
I mean, your guardness.
We were looking for the place where they hire suckers to work here.
Oh! [CHUCKLES.]
You want personnel.
Right down that corridor.
Education? I've got four years of science school.
Yes, and what did you study? Nothin'.
They studied me.
Hey, enough stupid questions.
Just give us a crummy job.
Bebop, old buddy, the first rule of business etiquette is to never threaten your superior with a proton blaster.
Yes, well, you both seem aggressive and highly motivated.
I think we have just the position for you.
You do? Yes.
And if you work hard, you'll soon be cleaning up.
Oh, boy! We will? You are now the official Channel 6 janitors.
Eh! Why'd you stop me from teaching that wimp a lesson? Because, you lamebrain, doing janitor type stuff is sure to take us to the basement, where we can plant these things.
Oh.
Good thinking.
But there's one little thing that stands in our way.
What's that? Um, which way is the basement? Find the Turtles.
Find the Turtles.
Ooh, ooh! Maybe the basement's in there! [GRUNTING.]
Hey, looky! It's the schedule of all of Channel 6's programs.
Boy, that's pretty stupid.
They've got Kung Fu Kiddy Cartoons on at 3 in the morning.
What? But that's my favorite show! That puppy ought to be on in prime time.
Good idea.
Now we can move Bowling for Bucks into prime time too.
It's one show that really makes you think.
Yeah.
And it's the perfect lead in for My Mother the Tank.
What in blazes is going on here? You two are supposed to be cleaning up.
What are you doing? We was just fine-tuning the schedule.
A little.
Fine-tuning? You've destroyed it! Get out of here, the both of you! You're fired! Wait! Whose idea was it to program the 6:00 news at noon? [BOTH.]
Um, his.
That's brilliant planning! We'll get the jump on all the other stations! You two are geniuses.
I'm making you our V.
P.
s in charge of programming.
Find the Turtles.
No pepperoni anywhere! This is getting mondo ridiculoso.
Yeah.
Next time I wish the writers would come up with a better plot device.
Hey, look! It's Splinter! Why do you suppose he left the lair? I don't know, but he's about to get crushed! [GRUNTING.]
Master Splinter, are you all right? No set.
Programming error.
What's going on here? Maybe that bump on the head made him think he's a computer.
[GRUNTING, SHOUTING.]
Out of my way! I must explore this strange new world in which I find myself.
Master, wait! He's gone totally gonzo! We have to stop him for his own good! Master, you've got to stop this.
Whoa! We gotta Splinter before he hurts somebody! We are replacing all the cartoons with operas.
The little kids could use some culture.
I want to run nothing but commercials from 8:00 to 11:00 every night.
They're more fun to watch than most of the programs.
[RINGING.]
[SHREDDER.]
Rocksteady, Bebop! What do you two cretins think you are doing? Hello, boss.
How did you get our private phone number? Simple: I dialed "M" for moron.
Have you placed the thrusters yet? We can't find the basement.
I guess that's why they made us vice-presidents.
You brainless slugs! The basement is down, of course! [DIAL TONE.]
We better hustle.
Shredder's even a tougher boss than that Burne guy.
Okay, as soon as I cancel a few more shows.
Have those mutton-headed minions of yours planted the thrusters yet? No, and they haven't gotten the Turtles, either.
Getting that equipment is more important than your petty revenge, Shredder.
Wrong, Krang! Nothing matters more than my revenge! See? That's how you open a door in polite society.
Is this the basement? I heard it through the potato vine Nah, it's where they tape The Idaho Potatoes.
That bomb? I was just going to cancel it.
Well, no wonder.
Those guys don't know how to play a potato.
Well, come on! Let's show 'em.
You bozos are fired! From now on, we'll be the Idaho Potatoes.
What on earth is going on? Bebop and Rocksteady! April O'Neil! She found us out.
Aah! Here's another show we can personally cancel! [LAUGHING.]
All right, April O'Neil, now that we've got you, you're going to lead us to [BOTH.]
the basement! Never, never, never! Well, maybe.
That's more like it.
Help! Help! Look, dudes! Somebody must have lost their pet giraffe.
[ELEPHANT BLARING.]
Lost, nothing.
Splinter must be in the zoo! Come, my friend! I'm here to save you from your slavery so you can once again rule this planet! Master Splinter, no! You dare interfere with my sacred mission to restore the animals to their rightful position of supremacy? [SHOUTS.]
Ow! The basement's in there.
Oh, goody! At last.
Guys, it's April! You have the wrong frequency, April.
This is Splinter.
Find the Turtles, Splinter.
[BANGING.]
I'm in deep trouble.
I'm-- Nice try, lady.
Now, take us to that basement, pronto.
Master Splinter or not, I'm getting a trifle fed up with this.
If he runs away again, we'll have to follow him.
I'll see if I can hot wire this roach coach.
Hup.
[TURTLECOM RINGING.]
[SPLINTER.]
Turtles, I fear April is in serious trouble! Not now, Master Splinter.
We've got to deal with Master Splinter! [IN UNISON.]
Master Splinter! Then who's that dude? You must help April.
Where is she? I don't know, but hurry! It's some kind of robot! A robot? Donatello, let him have it.
One "it," coming up.
Soon, my brothers, you will be free.
Aah! Now to find April.
Finally, we found the basement.
Now all we got to do is position the-- [BOTH.]
We forget the thrusters! You go back to our office and get them.
The boss will be so pleased.
Get me Dimension X.
Yes? Boss, the Turtles are here.
The Turtles? This is even better than I dreamed! Never mind the Turtles! What about the thrusters? We're about the put them in place.
Well, hurry! Your disguises will wear off in a matter of minutes.
April? The last time I saw her, she was heading for the basement with a couple of guys dressed in potato suits.
Is this some hot, new fashion trend we're missing out on? Let's get to the basement and find out! There, that's the last of these gizmos.
Make yourself comfy, lady.
It's gonna be a long flight.
You fellas haven't seen April O'Neil, have you? Who, me? Heck, no.
I never could see her.
[MUFFLED SHOUTING.]
Uh-oh! The disguise is wearing off, just like Krang said it would! [IN UNISON.]
You! Yeah, us! Want to make something of it? You bet your bad breath we do! I'll handle them! You fire up those thrusters.
Graa! [MECHANICAL HUMMING.]
[DONATELLO.]
Those things must be some kind of propulsion device.
We've got to hold those goons off 'til I can figure a way to shut those things down.
Michelangelo, hose them! Oof! Hey, no fair! Oh, that was easy.
No, it wasn't.
Get it, Leonardo! Hang on, April! Now! Now to destroy these things! Oh, no, you don't.
Those are Krang's property.
Thanks for telling us.
We believe in returning things to their rightful owners.
Ciao, bambinos.
[SCREAMING.]
Soon I will have the Channel 6 building and all that equipment.
Soon, I will have the Turtles and vengeance.
You didn't get the building? You didn't get the Turtles? Uh, no boss, but we got something even better.
We got great ratings.
The events of today prove that Shredder can still threaten us from Dimension X.
We cannot afford to lower our guard.
So much for our vacation.
Hey, amigos, speaking of vacations, I just got this letter from Vacations-R-Us.
I don't believe it! Dudes, check this out! "You have just won an all-expense paid trip "for you and four of your best buds to Europe, courtesy of Greasy Eddie's European Pizza.
" What do you know about that? Michelangelo is gonna see the leaning tower of Pizza.
I just hope he doesn't eat it.
Europe, here we come! Mona Lisa, watch out! The Eiffel Tower's gonna get some turtle power.
[CHEERING.]
