9061-018 - Leonardo Lightens Up
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles They're the world's Most fearsome fighting team Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles They're heroes in the half shell And they're green Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles When the evil Shredder attacks These turtle boys don't cut him no slack Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Heroes in a half shell Turtle power Alright, Donatello, prepare to defend yourself.
Yeah, yeah, Leonardo.
Anything you say.
Yeoh! Ooh! What kind of a block was that? Well, it worked, didn't it? Uh, look, it's been fun, but I gotta get back to my workshop.
But we're not finished practicing.
Master Splinter left me in charge while he's away and I order you to stay.
Lighten up, Leonardo.
Michelangelo Why weren't you at ninja practice? Hey, dude.
But, I am practicing.
Some outrageous new pizza recipes.
If we're gonna stay first-class ninjas, we must remain on the cutting edge.
Cutting edge.
That reminds me Care for a slice, dude? Mmm, it's even good raw.
Michelangelo, you are a sorry excuse for a defender of truth and justice.
Oh, lighten up, dude.
Defenders of truth and justice get hungry too, you know.
Take door number three! Take door number three! I can't believe you.
Believe me, the prize is behind door number three.
Hey, why'd you do that? With all the important things to do in this world, you waste your time watching TV.
Haven't you heard? All work and no play makes Raphael a dull turtle.
Master Splinter will be very upset when he hears about your total lack of discipline.
[RAPHAEL.]
Leonardo do yourself a favor and try to lighten up, will ya? Door number three.
Door number three! So how long you figure Splinter's gonna be up on that mountaintop? Until he finishes communing with nature.
Or some hunters mistake him for a large raccoon, whichever comes first.
Well, I sure wish he'd hurry.
I can't take much more of Leonardo bossing us around.
Likewise.
Hey, hand me that socket wrench, will ya? Forget that thing.
You oughta work on some invention that'll lighten up Leonardo.
Hold everything, you already have.
It's your personality-modifying ray.
Whoa, whoa.
No, no, fellas.
Not the personality modifier.
It isn't perfected yet.
Bingo! I found it! That's it, alright.
Hey, let go of that thing.
It could be dangerous.
So could living with Leonardo.
What's going on here? Oh, now look what you guys did.
What we did? It's your invention.
Uh, Leonardo? Are you alright? Ah, me? Alright? Hey, guys! I never felt better in my life.
I don't believe it.
You're actually smiling.
Why shouldn't I smile? Life's a blast! And with that old fuddy-duddy Splinter gone, hey, we don't have to do anymore stupid ninja exercises.
Stupid ninja exercises! No more katanas! No more hooks! No more sensei's nasty looks! [LAUGHS.]
Ooh! Whoopee! Alright! That ray actually worked! Leonardo's turned into a totally fun-loving dude.
Oh, I don't know.
We might've opened a Pandora's box.
All set.
Plug it in, Fingers.
Alright, Knuckles.
Okay, the keyboard's plugged in, the amp's on, and the speakers are heated up.
Then we are ready to rock and roll.
Everything's set, Mr.
Cleff.
That's Maestro Cleff to you.
Now, pay attention.
You are about to witness the most important performance in the history of music.
Whatever you say, mice toes.
Call my compositions ridiculous, will they? Let's see what those music critics say about my latest masterpiece.
[LAUGHS.]
[MUSIC BLARES.]
Hey, that's gotta be the loudest sound I ever heard.
What? I can't hear you.
Someone's making the loudest sound I ever heard.
I'm getting out of here.
Not me, I'm getting out of here.
[SCREAMS.]
[MUSIC STOPS.]
Whoa, look at 'em all panicking down there.
Hey, Maestro.
Your stereo worked like gangbusters.
This was merely a test.
They wouldn't pay to hear me play.
Now they can pay to see that I don't.
When I'm through, I'll have this city groveling for mercy.
[LAUGHS.]
[PHONE RINGS.]
[WOMAN.]
Channel Six News, just a moment.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Channel Six News.
What's that? The park was just destroyed by sound waves? [PHONE RINGS.]
Give me a break! Channel Six News.
A man on the roof of city hall? With a giant stereo? Is this some kind of gag? April! Where are you? [APRIL.]
At the dog show, chief.
You assigned Vernon and me to cover it, remember? Well, forget about those mutts.
Get over to city hall, pronto.
Some maniac is on the roof blowing things up.
Go! Go! Go! Go! Right, chief.
We're practically there.
Come on, Vernon.
We're on our way to city hall.
Look, there he is.
[VERNON.]
Alright, April.
We're rolling.
This is April O'Neil-- and Vernon Fenwick-- reporting live from city hall, where a real-life drama is taking place.
We're all plugged in, Mr.
Cleff.
Your adoring public awaits.
[KNUCKLES CRACK.]
Excellent.
Then I won't keep them waiting.
[MUSIC BLARES.]
What is that? The story we're here to cover.
Goodness! I'll file the story back at the office.
Vernon! You can't just leave me! I guess he can.
[VERNON.]
Whoa! [SCREAMS.]
I've gotta find shelter! Good! The treasury building.
They built these walls real thick.
[MUSIC INTENSIFIES.]
I gotta contact the Turtles.
This is April calling the Turtles.
Come in, Turtles.
Oh, no! [ALARM RINGS.]
So that's what he was after! Oh, no! Help! [ORGAN MUSIC BLARES.]
[APRIL.]
Ahh! Oh, thank heaven for open manholes.
Burne told me to get to the bottom of this.
Well, I guess this is the bottom.
Hold on.
If I remember my sewer system guidebook, I should be able to find my way out of here.
I'd recognize that sludge pump anywhere.
That means the Turtles' lair is this way.
Whoa, I am one hungry Turtle.
Yeah.
[WHISTLES.]
Hey, Leonardo, where's our dinner? Voila.
Ha ha ha.
[FRENCH ACCENT.]
Le dinner is, uh, how do you sayshe is, uh, served.
Great, roast turkey.
[LEONARDO LAUGHS.]
Oh, you guys oughta see yourselves.
What a bunch of turkey-covered turkeys! [LAUGHS.]
You're a real barrel of monkeys, you know that, Leonardo? Yeah, dude.
That exploding turkey was a total yuk.
Yuck is the perfect word.
Who's gonna clean up this mess? Never fear Messieur, I will take care of it toute suite.
[TURTLES YELL.]
As we say in my country, au reservoir.
[LAUGHS.]
Get it? [LAUGHS.]
Dudes, it looks like using the personality-modifying ray on Leonardo was a real no-brainer.
Well, that figures.
It was your idea.
Yeah, well, it was yours, too, dude.
Okay, let's not argue.
We all wanted Leonardo to lighten up, remember? Yeah, but not like this.
The dude's turned into a walking whoopee cushion.
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually starting to miss the old Leonardo.
[APRIL.]
And I miss all of you.
April, how'd you get here? From the looks of your clothes, it wasn't first-class travel.
It's a long story, and I'm hungry.
Do you have anything to eat? Aw, sure, dudette.
Just peel something off the wall.
So that's when Vernon left me stranded, with city hall falling down around my ears.
Man, that Vernon is such a wimpezoid.
All we know about this G.
Cleff guy is that he's some kind of frustrated composer who's determined to get even with the world.
Well, let's find out what he's been up to since you left him.
Hello, world.
This is Vernon Fenwick, ace correspondent, bringing you a danger-filled, up-to-the-minute, on-the-spot report.
Vernon! G.
Cleff, the mad maestro, has struck again.
This time, it was the diamond exchange, plundering it of a fortune in jewels.
Stealing my report! Oh, I'd like to wring his neck.
Take a number.
Right now, we have more important things to deal with.
With that ultrasonic sound system at his disposal, it'll take everything we've got to stop him.
I say it's time we Turtles went to work.
And we'll need Leonardo to lead us.
So let's go get laughing boy.
[MICHELANGELO.]
Yo, Leonardo! Duty calls, dude.
Yeah, time to get our shells in gear.
He's not here.
[MICHELANGELO.]
Scope it out, dudes.
He left us a note.
Whoa! That Leonardo.
Ha ha.
What a cutup.
"Ciao, babies.
I'm off to enjoy myself.
" Guys, we're in serious sewer sludge.
[SURF MUSIC.]
Oh, wow.
Dynamite surf today.
Alright! Awesome wave! Cowabunga! [ADMIRING CHEERS.]
Nothing to it, dudes.
Surfing's in my blood.
Hey man, where'd you get that totally bodacious wetsuit? In a puddle of chemical mutagen.
Here we are, Maestro.
The Third National Bank.
Excellent.
Prepare for a brief, but touching, musical interlude.
[MUSIC BLARES.]
Oh, what a delightful symphony.
It's music to my ears.
[ALARM RINGS.]
Now, proceed with the withdrawal.
Excuse me for asking, Maestro, but don't we have enough money yet? No, you oaf.
I need additional financing to create a more powerful stereo with even larger speakers.
Why's that, Maestro? 'Cause then, my soft-brained friend, we won't have to rob cheesy little banks.
We'll be able to rob entire cities! [LAUGHS.]
[RAPHAEL.]
Any sign of Leonardo, Donatello? [DONATELLO.]
Not hide nor hair of him.
I'm not surprised.
The dude's got no hair on his hide.
Hold it.
We're picking up something.
There he is.
On the beach.
That's right below us.
Hang on, I'm taking us down.
Oh, man.
What a sweet life.
Leonardo, quick.
We need you.
Hey, guys.
Pull up a strip of sand and catch a few rays.
This is serious.
We need your help.
Yeah, some maniac is blowing up the entire city.
Hey, lighten up.
It's only one measly little city.
The country's full of 'em.
No, no, no.
You don't understand.
Now, look.
There's a gnarly wave out there with the name "Leonardo" written on it.
And I'm about to catch it.
Have a nice day! Guys, we've created a Frankensurfer.
[RAPHAEL.]
Well, Donatello, any sign of the mad maestro? Could be.
We've got an unfriendly on the roof at 2:00.
Just how unfriendly is the dude? [DONATELLO.]
It's G.
Cleff.
[RAPHAEL.]
Well, that's about as unfriendly as they get.
Well, I say we go after him.
Without Leonardo? What choice do we have? Here, put on these helmets.
What are these supposed to do? Hopefully protect us from Cleff's sound system.
[MICHELANGELO.]
Are batteries included? Hey, look what's headed this way.
Well, what do you know? It's the Gotham blimp.
Let's get those dudes.
[DONATELLO.]
Alright, Cleff, the gig is up.
Not till I've played my finale.
Or, should I say, your finale.
Let them hear their own personal farewell song.
[KNUCKLES.]
Ready when you are, Maestro.
[MUSIC BLARES.]
Whoa, what a note.
So much for the helmets.
Worse news yet, the controls don't work either.
[MICHELANGELO.]
Oh, dudes! We've got ourselves a blowout! [TURTLES.]
Whoa! [DONATELLO.]
Pull up! Pull up! [RAPHAEL.]
I'm pulling! I'm pulling! Oops.
Oh, great.
There goes the resale value of this thing.
[DONATELLO.]
Aim for that open space between those buildings.
Don't you just hate a backseat blimp driver? [ALL.]
Ohh! Oh, what luck.
Saved by a sidewalk cafe.
Couldn't you have picked a pizzeria? Look, G.
Cleff's gone.
Where do you think he'll strike next? What's the difference? We'll never get close enough to stop him as long as he has that supersonic stereo.
We need an edge, compadres.
In other words, we need Leonardo.
Right.
But how do we get him? He's having too good a time.
It's simple.
We'll convince him to come back to the lair with us, then you'll reverse the effects of the personality-modifying ray.
Lots of luck.
Where to next, dudes? Well, I checked out all the beaches, and there's zero surf.
So what would a dedicated surf nut like Leonardo be doing? Skateboarding.
What else? [DONATELLO.]
Right.
So all we have to do is locate all the skateboard areas.
Oh, great.
Skateboard city.
I'll isolate any green, shell-backed skateboarders.
Jackpot.
We found him.
[LEONARDO LAUGHS.]
Woo! Whoopee! Yo, Leonardo! Hey, amigos.
Wanna join the party? First, I'll have to teach you dudes a couple of basic moves.
Like gleaming the cube.
Leonardo, you've got to come with us.
Right, we can't handle this G.
Cleff dude without you.
Tough tamales, guys.
Life's too short for hassling baddies.
I'd rather party hearty.
Ow! Okay, now what? This calls for the ultimate weapon the net nabber.
Oh, yeah? Well, nets to you.
[LAUGHS.]
Hey, as long as we're flinging things, try this on for size.
Ew! [COUGHING.]
[LAUGHS.]
Hey, lighten up, guys.
Can't you take a joke? Very funny.
The Turtle van is gonna smell for weeks.
Hey, no problem.
I'll wash it out for you.
[LEONARDO LAUGHS.]
You guys--you guys totally crack me up! Hey, ciao, dudes.
This party animal is out to let the good times roll.
Ow! It looks like the awesome foursome has turned into the dripping threesome.
April O'Neil here at the U.
S.
Mint, where the notorious G.
Cleff has struck again.
And it's all our fault.
Yeah, we had to go and change Leonardo's personality.
Why the unhappy faces, my students? Master Splinter.
Whoa, sensei, are we ever glad to see you.
Where is Leonardo? It's a long story, Master.
Then proceed to tell it.
The longest story begins with a single word.
Well, it all started when you put Leonardo in charge while you went off on your retreat.
So Leonardo [RAPHAEL.]
Are you sure you want to go through with this, Sensei? I mean, it could be dangerous.
It is also the only recourse left to us.
There's that fun-loving Leonardo now.
Hi, guys.
Back for some more fun and games? That's right.
Only this time, we brought a ringer.
Master Splinter.
If I can outperform you at skateboarding, Leonardo, will you return to the lair? You? Outperform me? You've gotta be jiving.
If that means kidding, I assure you I am not.
Do we have a deal? Okay, it's a deal, Master.
You'll have to do better than that.
Now, watch this.
Here's the way we pros do it.
Cowabunga! Whoa! I was taught to skate softly, but dazzle your opponent.
Whoa! Hey! No fair! You cheated! What did you expect? I am a rat.
There are times when right overrules rules, my son.
There, that should take care of it.
Do you think it worked? We'll know in a minute.
[LEONARDO.]
Donatello this workshop of yours is a disgrace.
And, Raphael and Michelangelo, why aren't you in the practice room working out? [TURTLES.]
It worked.
Why are we standing around? Didn't you say we've got a city to save? [TURTLES.]
Turtle power! Okay, Maestro.
All set.
This will be the grandest moment of my career.
I can't bring audiences to their feet, but I can bring this city to its knees.
[LEONARDO.]
I wouldn't do that, if I were you.
Your next concert'll be played on the bars of your prison cell.
Talk is cheap, especially corny dialogue like that.
Aim those speakers at these green nuisances.
Right, Maestro.
And this'll make sure they hear it.
Okay, Turtles.
Put on your secret weapons.
Aw, dude, do we have to? Yes, we have to.
I feel like such a dweeb.
[MUSIC BLARES.]
What's wrong? Sorry, I can't hear you with these earmuffs on.
[THEME SONG.]
Everyone's a music critic.
Cowabunga! Get him! Don't even think about it.
Ohh! Earmuffs.
How did you ever think of it? I knew cotton wouldn't crack.
You know, sometimes the simple answers are the best.
Huh, I never woulda come up with that.
[MICHELANGELO.]
Hey, that's why he's our numero uno dude.
And so, with G.
Cleff and his henchmen safely behind bars, the task of rebuilding the city has already begun.
[LEONARDO.]
Alright, rest period is over.
Aw, dude.
April was just getting to the good part.
[LEONARDO.]
You can catch it in reruns, Michelangelo.
Right now, we have karate exercises.
I'll see you all in the practice room.
Donatello, is that personality modifier still working? I see you have already forgotten your lesson.
There is room in this world for all different types of personalities.
Some light-hearted, some serious.
Think how boring it would be if all of us were identical.
Are you kidding? I think a world of me's would be totally righteous.
For sure, dude.
For sure.
Yeah, yeah, Leonardo.
Anything you say.
Yeoh! Ooh! What kind of a block was that? Well, it worked, didn't it? Uh, look, it's been fun, but I gotta get back to my workshop.
But we're not finished practicing.
Master Splinter left me in charge while he's away and I order you to stay.
Lighten up, Leonardo.
Michelangelo Why weren't you at ninja practice? Hey, dude.
But, I am practicing.
Some outrageous new pizza recipes.
If we're gonna stay first-class ninjas, we must remain on the cutting edge.
Cutting edge.
That reminds me Care for a slice, dude? Mmm, it's even good raw.
Michelangelo, you are a sorry excuse for a defender of truth and justice.
Oh, lighten up, dude.
Defenders of truth and justice get hungry too, you know.
Take door number three! Take door number three! I can't believe you.
Believe me, the prize is behind door number three.
Hey, why'd you do that? With all the important things to do in this world, you waste your time watching TV.

Worse news yet, the controls don't work either.
[MICHELANGELO.]
Oh, dudes! We've got ourselves a blowout! [TURTLES.]
Whoa! [DONATELLO.]
Pull up! Pull up! [RAPHAEL.]
I'm pulling! I'm pulling! Oops.
Oh, great.
There goes the resale value of this thing.
[DONATELLO.]
Aim for that open space between those buildings.
Don't you just hate a backseat blimp driver? [ALL.]
Ohh! Oh, what luck.
Saved by a sidewalk cafe.
Couldn't you have picked a pizzeria? Look, G.
Cleff's gone.
Where do you think he'll strike next? What's the difference? We'll never get close enough to stop him as long as he has that supersonic stereo.
We need an edge, compadres.
In other words, we need Leonardo.
Right.
But how do we get him? He's having too good a time.
It's simple.
We'll convince him to come back to the lair with us, then you'll reverse the effects of the personality-modifying ray.
Lots of luck.
Where to next, dudes? Well, I checked out all the beaches, and there's zero surf.
So what would a dedicated surf nut like Leonardo be doing? Skateboarding.
What else? [DONATELLO.]
Right.
So all we have to do is locate all the skateboard areas.
Oh, great.
Skateboard city.
I'll isolate any green, shell-backed skateboarders.
Jackpot.
We found him.
[LEONARDO LAUGHS.]
Woo! Whoopee! Yo, Leonardo! Hey, amigos.
Wanna join the party? First, I'll have to teach you dudes a couple of basic moves.
Like gleaming the cube.
Leonardo, you've got to come with us.
Right, we can't handle this G.
Cleff dude without you.
Tough tamales, guys.
Life's too short for hassling baddies.
I'd rather party hearty.
Ow! Okay, now what? This calls for the ultimate weapon the net nabber.
Oh, yeah? Well, nets to you.
[LAUGHS.]
Hey, as long as we're flinging things, try this on for size.
Ew! [COUGHING.]
[LAUGHS.]
Hey, lighten up, guys.
Can't you take a joke? Very funny.
The Turtle van is gonna smell for weeks.
Hey, no problem.
I'll wash it out for you.
[LEONARDO LAUGHS.]
You guys--you guys totally crack me up! Hey, ciao, dudes.
This party animal is out to let the good times roll.
Ow! It looks like the awesome foursome has turned into the dripping threesome.
April O'Neil here at the U.
S.
Mint, where the notorious G.
Cleff has struck again.
And it's all our fault.
Yeah, we had to go and change Leonardo's personality.
Why the unhappy faces, my students? Master Splinter.
Whoa, sensei, are we ever glad to see you.
Where is Leonardo? It's a long story, Master.
Then proceed to tell it.
The longest story begins with a single word.
Well, it all started when you put Leonardo in charge while you went off on your retreat.
So Leonardo [RAPHAEL.]
Are you sure you want to go through with this, Sensei? I mean, it could be dangerous.
It is also the only recourse left to us.
There's that fun-loving Leonardo now.
Hi, guys.
Back for some more fun and games? That's right.
Only this time, we brought a ringer.
Master Splinter.
If I can outperform you at skateboarding, Leonardo, will you return to the lair? You? Outperform me? You've gotta be jiving.
If that means kidding, I assure you I am not.
Do we have a deal? Okay, it's a deal, Master.
You'll have to do better than that.
Now, watch this.
Here's the way we pros do it.
Cowabunga! Whoa! I was taught to skate softly, but dazzle your opponent.
Whoa! Hey! No fair! You cheated! What did you expect? I am a rat.
There are times when right overrules rules, my son.
There, that should take care of it.
Do you think it worked? We'll know in a minute.
[LEONARDO.]
Donatello this workshop of yours is a disgrace.
And, Raphael and Michelangelo, why aren't you in the practice room working out? [TURTLES.]
It worked.
Why are we standing around? Didn't you say we've got a city to save? [TURTLES.]
Turtle power! Okay, Maestro.
All set.
This will be the grandest moment of my career.
I can't bring audiences to their feet, but I can bring this city to its knees.
[LEONARDO.]
I wouldn't do that, if I were you.
Your next concert'll be played on the bars of your prison cell.
Talk is cheap, especially corny dialogue like that.
Aim those speakers at these green nuisances.
Right, Maestro.
And this'll make sure they hear it.
Okay, Turtles.
Put on your secret weapons.
Aw, dude, do we have to? Yes, we have to.
I feel like such a dweeb.
[MUSIC BLARES.]
What's wrong? Sorry, I can't hear you with these earmuffs on.
[THEME SONG.]
Everyone's a music critic.
Cowabunga! Get him! Don't even think about it.
Ohh! Earmuffs.
How did you ever think of it? I knew cotton wouldn't crack.
You know, sometimes the simple answers are the best.
Huh, I never woulda come up with that.
[MICHELANGELO.]
Hey, that's why he's our numero uno dude.
And so, with G.
Cleff and his henchmen safely behind bars, the task of rebuilding the city has already begun.
[LEONARDO.]
Alright, rest period is over.
Aw, dude.
April was just getting to the good part.
[LEONARDO.]
You can catch it in reruns, Michelangelo.
Right now, we have karate exercises.
I'll see you all in the practice room.
Donatello, is that personality modifier still working? I see you have already forgotten your lesson.
There is room in this world for all different types of personalities.
Some light-hearted, some serious.
Think how boring it would be if all of us were identical.
Are you kidding? I think a world of me's would be totally righteous.
For sure, dude.
For sure.
