Boy, Michelangelo's snoring is loud.
And his stomach noises are really loud.
I like to think of it as music.
Michelangelo's duet for stomach and sinuses in D flat.
[LEONARDO.]
Quiet, you guys.
April's on-the-spot news report is beginning.
I'm here at the 17th Street police station, where a bizarre burglary has taken place.
With me is Lieutenant Montoya.
Tell our audience what happened, Lieutenant.
[Lt.
Montoya.]
Last night, thieves broke into our crime lab exhibit.
They stole only items connected with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Do you have any theories about this unusual theft? [SIGHS.]
We haven't got a clue, Miss O'Neil.
[APRIL.]
Mysterious thieves with Ninja Turtle memorabilia.
April O'Neil, with Channel Six News.
Why would anyone want stuff connected to us? [BEEP.]
Hi, guys.
[LEONARDO.]
Hi, April.
What's up? I'm through with work and felt like having a Vinnie's pizza.
Wanna join me? My treat.
[SNORING STOPS.]
Mmm, oh! Did someone mention pizza? At Vinnie's? Whoa, let's make turtle tracks, dudes.
Promise him a pizza and he'll follow you anywhere.
[RAPHAEL.]
Whoa, man.
I think that last piece finally got my scarf alarm turned off.
But maybe I'll just get one to go.
Hey, Vinnie.
Could I get a jumbo with everything, to go? To go? Sure.
Hey, dude.
What happened to that pizza box we autographed? It used to be right there.
Hey, how about that? Somebody must have swiped it.
Yeah, but why would anyone want to steal a pizza box with our signatures on it? Mondo bizarro, dude.
First they cop the stuff from the cop shop and now this.
Walk me home, guys? This is not a safe neighborhood.
We would be most happy to escort you, young lady.
[CAR HORN HONKS.]
[APRIL.]
Thanks, guys.
I'll see you later.
[CRASH.]
There's someone in your apartment.
[LEONARDO.]
Hey, what are you doing here? [DONATELLO.]
He's getting away.
I'll get the license number.
3-A-N-4-6-2 [ENGINE STARTS.]
[TIRES SCREECH.]
Come on, Turtles.
We'll follow them on the rooftops.
You dudes take the high road.
I'll take the sewer road.
April, keep an eye on my pizza! Keep an eye on my pizza? Hmm, I've got better things to do.
Lt.
Montoya, I've got a license plate number I'd like you to trace for me.
[THEME SONG.]
[DONATELLO.]
He's going too fast.
We can't keep up.
I'll give him some laundry to do.
Those jockey shorts'll cramp his style.
What is this, an underwear storm? Surfing the sewer circuit is truly rad.
Surf's up! Kowabunga, dude! [COUGHS.]
[TIRES SCREECH.]
Stuck in traffic? Next time, try the train.
Boss, I'm in trouble.
The Turtles got me trapped.
Calm down, Clyde.
I anticipated your stupidity.
Just push the red button on the dashboard.
Red button, right.
Uh, gotcha.
Look out! Gas! [TURTLES COUGH.]
[TURTLES LAUGH.]
Lookhe's--he's getting away.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
Did you guys hear the one about This is--this is no time for--for gags, Michelangelo.
Well, when else can I get you dudes to laugh at my jokes? Wow, who's your decorator? A burglar.
And he stole all my Turtle souvenirs.
But what really makes me mad is he took my Turtlecom.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Hello? Oh, hello, Lt.
Montoya.
You have the address of the person who owns the pickup truck? Great.
7-7-7 77th Street.
Thanks so much, Lieutenant.
Bye.
Come on, Irma.
We're gonna catch a thief.
And then the pickup truck drove off, Master Splinter.
I do not like the sound of this, my students.
I just remembered.
April saw the license number of that pickup.
We can trace the owner that way.
Turtles calling April.
Come in, April.
Calling April.
Strange, she's not answering.
Whoa, maybe that burglar dude came back for seconds.
Let's go, Turtles.
[RAPHAEL.]
Uh, fellas, why couldn't we just use the elevator to get to April's apartment? [LEONARDO.]
This is more visual.
April's gone.
Uh-oh.
I've got a bad feeling about this, compadres.
I bet she found the address of that truck's owner and went off to investigate.
They can always read addresses like this in the movies.
April could be in trouble.
Let's go.
Could we use the elevator if nobody watches? [TIRES SCREECH.]
[APRIL.]
This is the address.
This guy gives bad taste a bad name.
[APRIL.]
Wait a minute, I know this house.
I did a news story here.
It belongs to Monroe Q.
Flem, the billionaire collector.
The billionaire collector? How greedy.
I only want one billionaire.
No, he's a billionaire.
He collects things.
I'll bet that's why he stole my stuff.
He's collecting Turtle memorabilia.
Wait here for me.
If I'm not back in ten minutes-- Can I have your blue sweater? call the Turtles.
There's that truck.
Billionaire collector or not, he can't have my Turtlecom.
[DOGS BARKING.]
That sounds like Michelangelo's stomach.
Oh, no! Guard dogs! [DOGS BARKING.]
Stay back, nice doggies.
I won't hurt you.
[APRIL.]
Ahh! Well, well, a visitor.
[APRIL.]
Help! Are you the person I called to exercise my doggies? No! Call them off! Don't be afraid, my dear.
My gas will stop them.
Yuck! What did you do to them? That's my pacifying gas.
It turns any beast into a cuddly pet.
Of course, you're Monroe Q.
Flem.
You manufacture exotic gasses.
So, you've heard of me.
Of course, my many collections are world famous.
My stamp collection, my coin collection, my paintings of Elvis on velvet.
I'm more interested in something one of your goons collected from my apartment.
Why, you're April O'Neil.
I apologize.
My boys do tend to get carried away.
But perhaps you'd like to see my collection of Turtle memorabilia.
I've always been fascinated with turtles.
When I was a child, my mother gave away my pet turtle, Rosebud.
And now I'm getting even with Mommie dearest by owning the world's largest collection of Ninja Turtle artifacts.
It's so fortunate that you've come, my dear.
You can help me complete my collection.
Get real, Flem.
The only thing I'm going to help you with is turning yourself in to the police.
Oh, dear.
Edgar, Miss O'Neil is being uncooperative.
Lock her up until she changes her mind, would you please? [GRUNTS.]
Right, Mr.
Flem.
Hey, let go! Get your hands off me! Help! Yes, scream all you want, Miss O'Neil.
No one can hear you.
[APRIL.]
Help! Help! [SNORING.]
Here's your guest cell, sweetie.
Don't call me sweetie, smog breath! Oh, you're a feisty one.
Well, you won't be so uppity when you see what Mr.
Flem's got planned for you and your Turtle friends.
Well, here's a change of plans.
Uhh! Ow! Which way's the exit? [EDGAR.]
Hey, come back here.
Shredder! Aah! You got caught by a dummy.
You or this? Very funny.
The boss had wax figures made of everybody the Turtles was involved with.
He looks so real.
Not as real as some are going to look.
What do you mean? You'll find out.
Uhh! Now, behave yourself.
I hope Irma got ahold of the Turtles.
Put that in the diorama of the Turtles' lair, Clyde.
I'll examine it later.
Right, boss.
Doh! Be careful, mush brain! Sorry, boss.
It can't be.
It is! A Turtlecom.
After all these years, after my unending search, I am about to reach my moment of total and complete fulfillment! Shut up, you dolt! [DONATELLO.]
Turtles calling April.
Come in, April.
No luck, huh? No.
And I don't like it.
Calling April.
This frequency tracking device will lead me to the Turtles' lair.
As soon as I lock onto their base station.
Ah-ha! I've done it! I've found the Turtles' lair.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
This is the place.
[IRMA SNORES.]
What's that noise? [RAPHAEL.]
Sounds like Michelangelo's stomach.
It's Irma.
Awesome noise.
Maybe they're using her to scare away intruders.
I'll bet that April's already inside.
Whoa, totally tasteless decor, dudes.
They ought to put up a higher wall around this pad.
To keep people out? No, to keep people from seeing in.
Come on, Turtles.
Uh-oh, here come a couple of man's best friends.
Man's best friends? Mondo bummer.
We're turtles.
[SNARLING.]
[THEME SONG.]
Hi-ya! Okay, guys.
It's time for our flying Ninja Turtle act.
Now, to figure out how to get in here.
That's called the scientific method.
Ha ha ha! Now my priceless Turtles are here.
Soon my collection will be complete.
Do you guys have the feeling somebody's gonna pop out and say "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, this is your life?" Hey, remember this? The case of the two-headed biker.
Yeah, and this was the shovel we used to battle the giant Sumerian slug.
Yeah, he was a regular pest.
This is amazing.
Really, I'm even impressed by us.
[FLEM.]
I'm flattered by your assessment of my work.
I know you.
You're the extravagantly flamboyant collector Monroe Q.
Flem.
I am indeed.
And you are the famous Ninja Turtles.
Haa, I've waited for this moment.
We know you've got April O'Neil.
Hand her over! [LAUGHS.]
She's fine, fine.
In fact, she'll be happy to see you.
I'll take you to her.
[DONATELLO.]
Wow, that looks like the lair.
Yes, I created it from my imagination.
I'm so pleased it's accurate.
I don't yet have the perfect images of you turtles for this tableau.
But I will solve that problem shortly.
[LAUGHS.]
This Flem dude sure laughs a lot.
Villains on this show always do.
Turtles, help! Let her go, you fiend! Another classic line, Leonardo.
Hey! [COUGHING.]
Look out! Tie them up.
What did you do to them? I just gave them a dose of my special Turtle knock-out gas.
You've got gas for everything, haven't you? Wait until you see what's going to happen to you and your precious Turtles.
That's really a gas.
[LAUGHS.]
Getting gassed means never having to listen to bad jokes.
[APRIL.]
I was just kidding about the bad jokes.
Flem, what are you doing? I have discovered a new method to create the most lifelike wax figures.
Miss O'Neil is going to be my first test subject.
No! I just had my legs waxed! If my method works on her, you four will be next in line.
And then I will put you in my diorama of the lair, permanently coated with wax.
Total bummer.
We're all gonna be turtle waxed.
[FLEM.]
Soon your beauty will be preserved.
forever! [LAUGHS.]
I'd rather grow old gracefully.
Flem, let her go.
I'll be your test subject.
Oh, how very gallant of you.
But I cannot risk failure.
Ninja Turtles are rare and priceless.
News anchors, on the other hand, are a dime a dozen.
That tears it.
You scuzzy weasel! Wait'll I get my hands on you! We gotta do something.
We can still move.
Let's get over there and try to delay Flem.
We're tied up hand and foot, Leonardo.
No problemo.
We could take this dude with our hands tied.
[ALL.]
Uhh! Uhh! Uhh! Oh, look, how quaint.
The turtle hop.
Look out! Gas! Three times in one show.
[TEETH CHATTER.]
I call this my freeze gas.
One blast will temporarily turn a living subject into a statue.
Clyde! Edgar! Yes, boss? Now, be good henchmen and put them in the lair diorama in the museum, won't you? I want to see how they'll look as part of the permanent display.
[IRMA SNORES.]
Oh, where am I? Oh, no! Oh, I was supposed to call the Turtles half an hour ago.
I'd better go see if April's alright.
I am such an artiste.
When the Turtles are permanently coated with wax, they will look simply marvelous.
We've got to get out of here.
My nose itches.
I've got the major munchies.
The Turtles.
We better dip these Turtles before that gas wears off, boss.
We have at least a half an hour at this temperature.
I want to finish O'Neil first.
I've gotta revive the Turtles.
But how? He's freezing cold.
Donatello, snap out of it! S-s-stop shaking me! That doesn't work.
Now what? Raise the temperature control.
Of course, they're frozen.
I'll raise the temperature control.
Boy, this mental telepathy stuff really works.
Computerized climate control.
This must be it.
Good thing I took that class in how to use computers.
What's happening? The temperature is rising.
My wax figures! Oh, my precious family of wax! They are being destroyed! Whoever is responsible for this will pay! [BANG.]
It's amazing what a little technical skill can do.
Come on, guys.
Snap out of it.
[TURTLES.]
Oh! I must have something in here for an emergency like this.
Ah-ha! Eau de nightingale.
My favorite perfume.
That'll bring 'em back to life.
[VIOLENT COUGHING.]
Who's wearing that cheap perfume? Cheap? I'll have you know that costs $15 a quart.
Hurry, guys.
April's in danger! Turtles! Perfect timing as usual.
I'll shut off the controls.
You Turtles have ruined everything.
But I will have my revenge.
Prepare to meet your doom at the metal hands of my waxmation warriors! [LAUGHS.]
[BEEPS.]
Wow, under those wax figures, Flem had a robot army.
Well, let's see what's under those robots.
Ha! Just as I thought.
Nothing.
Hey! Gimme back my size! Now, there's a guy with a sparkling personality.
Thanks, Michelangelo.
No problemo, dude.
Hey! Put me down! Well, at least you made a good impression.
No, get away! You'll ruin everything! That's my plan, Flem.
Get him! Ha ha, I can't move.
Let's hop outta here.
Give that back! [DONATELLO.]
Now we'll see how these things work.
Oh, thanks, Leonardo.
It's all part of the service.
Rescues 'R Us.
[FLEM.]
No! No! No! No! No! [LEONARDO.]
Looks like our biggest fan is not too happy with us.
Well, you know, that's the way it is.
One minute, they love you, the next, your autographed photo is lining their birdcage.
The extravagantly flamboyant billionaire, Monroe Q.
Flem, was taken to the city sanitarium for observation.
The stolen Ninja Turtle memorabilia were returned to their rightful owners.
Look, dudes.
We even got Vinnie's pizza box back.
Maybe he'll give us a free refill.
This is April O'Neil for Channel Six News, saying good night.
You know, if Flem ever remembers where the lair is, we might be in trouble again, guys.
Hey, that's not a problem.
I installed the Turtlecom base station a mile away from here.
Just in case.
Well, what do you think made Phlegm get so weird like that, Sensei? Dudes, Sensei's really zoned way out.
Exactly what does this "zoned way out" mean, my student? Whoa! I'm seeing double.
Ha ha ha.
It's wax.
We brought it over from Flem's museum.
Very funny, dudes.
Gotcha.
[LAUGHING.]
Good one, Leonardo.
