Leonardo leads Donatello does machines And that's a fact, Jack.
Raphael is cool, but rude Gimme a break.
Michelangelo is a party dude Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Heroes in a half shell Turtle power What's the name of that movie again, Michelangelo? Gorgonzola Versus The Slime Monster.
Gee, after going to all the trouble of getting these new disguises, it better be good.
Are you kidding? Nobody can stomp Tokyo like old Gorgonzola.
Oh, now there's something you don't see everyday.
You don't suppose-- Stop, thieves! We better do something about this, and fast.
Yeah.
I don't want to miss the beginning of the movie.
They went around that corner.
Aw, this pearl must be worth a fortune.
Not to mention what the rest of the pot will bring us.
[LEONARDO.]
Hey, you, stop! Does this thing suddenly seem heavier to you? All right, just put it down and there won't be any trouble.
Heh heh, will you look at that.
We're being attacked by a hiking troop.
Oh, yeah? Laugh this off.
Grab it! Hang on, Donatello! I got it, I got it! I don't got it.
I'll stop that overgrown flower pot.
Yow! [GROANING.]
Good work, Raphael, you stopped it.
Just call me talented.
Look! The thieves are escaping! Yeah, but at least we got the urn.
But I wonder what's so special about this oversized cookie jar.
Excuse me, could I interject a thought at this point? What, Raphael? Get this darn thing off of me! Any mail for me while I was gone? The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, how can I ever thank you? Well, buying me a new shell would be a start.
Why were those crooks after this thing, anyway? [MAN.]
I can't understand it.
Three times have they tried to steal it since I bought it.
Well, it looks pretty valuable.
True, this is the urn of Chaka Hatchi, it is extremely precious, but the legends say it is cursed! I can believe that.
Sounds to me like you need some protection-ay, amigo.
I'm having an entire security system installed, but it won't be finished until 3:00 today.
Turtle-sans, keep the urn until the security system is in place.
But the only place we can take it is the sewers.
We're going to have to lug it all the way down there? [RAPHAEL.]
I have a feeling this is not going to be the high spot of my day.
What is happening? Come, my Lotus Blossom.
Who are you? What did you call me? Come with me.
No, Lotus.
You mustn't go.
You don't belong with him.
You are mine.
Oh, that dream again.
The third time this week.
The Turtles have something to do with it.
I must seek them and find out the meaning of this, or I shall have no peace.
[RAPHAEL.]
Boy, is this any way to earn a living? There it goes again! You know, if I didn't know it was impossible, I'd say this urn was trying to smash itself open.
I don't know what it was the thieves chipped off, and all this inscription says is "In honor of Chaka Hatchi".
I have never seen an urn like this.
But what about that Chaka dude, Master Splinter? I must consult my ancient clan histories to learn more about him.
Gee, that could take hours.
Yeah, and there is something majorly mysterioso about that urn.
Perhaps it would help if we knew why the thieves were after it.
Maybe we'd find a clue at the scene of the crime.
What makes you think that? Because it always works when they do it on TV.
[APRIL.]
This is the third time burglars have tried to steal the urn of Chaka Hatchi since it arrived in this country.
Presently, it is being guarded by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
April O'Neil, lunch-time news.
Aw, gee, boss, why'd you turn it off? Yeah, there was cartoons coming on next.
The urn of Chaka Hatchi in the hands of those Turtles! I can't believe it! All my life I've been searching for that urn, and now those repugnant reptiles have it.
We're stuck on this miserable planetoid, and all you can think about is your porcelain collection.
You fool, that urn contains powers you've never dreamed of.
Ptah! I'd have been better off hiring street mimes.
At least they know when to shut up! I must have that urn! Oh, goodie, does that mean we get to go to Earth, and get it for you, boss? No! You morons would probably drop it! There is one on Earth who is much better suited to get it for us.
But first, she must be convinced.
Bebop, Rocksteady, bring me the holographic 3D video camera.
Now, to seek out the Turtles.
[FREQUENCY TUNING.]
[SHREDDER.]
Lotus Blossom.
[LOTUS.]
Who are you? I am the ghost of Chaka Hatchi, the leader of the clan from which you are descended.
I have no clan.
I am a masterless warrior.
You are wrong, Lotus Blossom.
Your parents were from the Chaka Hatchi clan.
They were? A grave crime has been committed.
Our clan's sacred urn has been stolen.
We have been dishonored.
If I am indeed a member of this clan, I must do anything for its honor.
Then go, punish the Turtles who have disgraced us, and return here with the urn! If the Turtles are guilty, they will suffer the consequences.
Gee, boss, you were great.
I think you really fooled her.
Uh, yeah, if they gave Oscars for sneakiness, you'd be a shoe-in.
Why, thank you.
Now all we have to do is sit back and wait while Lotus Blossom gets the urn for us.
Here's something.
Those thieves must have dropped it.
The secret hideout.
You know, there's something vaguely suspicious sounding about that name.
It sure sounds like a place where criminals would hang out.
Then let's get them! Yeah! We'll make them tell everything they know about-- [RAPHAEL.]
Lotus Blossom, what are you doing? Do you have the urn of Chaka Hatchi? Yes, but-- Then you have dishonored my clan and now you must pay! Aghh! Look out! Lotus Blossom, stop this! You have dishonored my clan! What clan? You have no clan.
I am a descendant of Chaka Hatchi! What? That's impossible! You speak treason against my clan! We got to get that lady to calm down.
Maybe if we sang her a soothing ballad.
Whoa! [LOTUS BLOSSOM.]
Come back, you desecrators! Circle round and find cover.
What the heck are these things? They're records.
You know, what people used to listen to before compact discs.
Whoa, somebody really burned these pizzas! Show yourselves, you cowards! I want that urn or your shells! [MICHELANGELO.]
Have it your way, dudette.
Cowabunga! You get the feeling Lotus is upset about something? Uh-oh.
Oh, no, you don't.
All for one and one for aah! I think my swashbuckling days are over, dudes.
Now, Lotus, you're a little distraught-- Yeah, let us explain.
Hi-ya! That's what I call a record-breaking event.
Now, Turtles, you will pay.
[LEONARDO.]
All right, hold it! You want the urn? You've got it.
At last you see reason.
Take me to it at once! But it belongs to that old man.
I know, but it's our only chance to explain things to her.
I have been studying clan history all day, Lotus.
You are not descended from the Chaka Hatchi clan.
The ghost seemed so real.
Lotus, ghosts are a scientific impossibility.
And those dreams I've been having? Surely the real Chaka Hatchi would have known that the Turtles are merely guarding the urn.
I fear someone is deceiving you.
But why? Why would someone go to such lengths to trick me? Think, Lotus.
Can you remember anything about him? He was wearing an armored mask, but his voice did sound familiar.
[SHREDDER LAUGHING.]
Soon the urn of Chaka Hatchi will be mine, and with it, the ultimate power in the universe! Can you make it so we don't have to clean our rooms no more? With that urn I can do anything.
And to think that Lotus Blossom herself is going to get it for me.
But how are we going to get it from Lotus? I hadn't thought of that.
I guess you two nincompoops will have to go to Earth and get it after all.
Oh, goody.
We get to make trouble on Earth.
Make all the trouble you want, just get that urn! And remember, don't drop it.
I was born 400 years too late.
I don't belong in this world.
I belong in ancient Japan! Everyone is where they are for a reason, Lotus.
All my life I've wanted to belong, to find someplace where I fit in.
But I am a ninja.
What use am I to the modern world? Hey, we're ninjas, too, remember? You could always move in here with us.
Somehow I don't think I'd be happy in the sewers.
If I may make a suggestion, Lotus.
If you look for happiness outside of yourself, you will never find it.
Happiness exists only within you.
Whoa.
Dude.
And remember, you never get incredibly wise advice like this on those other cartoon shows.
Did you find out anything about the urn, Master Splinter? I have indeed, Leonardo.
According to these records, it contains the remains of a 16th-century clan leader.
Let me guess.
His name wouldn't be Chaka Hatchi, would it? Correct, Donatello.
Chaka Hatchi was reputed to be a very powerful magician.
Legend has it he could create a pagoda with a wave of his hand.
Whoa! I'll bet he was popular at parties with a trick like that.
But the legends also say that the urn is cursed.
When he passed away, Chaka Hatchi was searching for his kidnapped wife, and his spirit can never rest until he finds her again.
Uh, Leonardo, what time is it? According to my Turtle watch, it's 5 of 3.
Good.
Then let's get this haunted jug out of here! Care to join us, Lotus? My plans for the day are shot.
I might as well help you.
[DONATELLO.]
I hope that old man got the security system installed.
[MICHELANGELO.]
I'll say! I don't want to have to carry this thing back to the sewers again.
[RAPHAEL.]
One urn, coming up! Well, what do you know? Just what we was looking for.
Lotus, that ghost you saw, did he by any chance sound like this? [IMITATING SHREDDER.]
"You wretched reptiles.
I'll get you if it's the last thing I do.
" Yes! That's him! I might have known Shredder was behind this.
[LOTUS.]
Guard the urn! I'll handle them! After the pasting she gave us, I almost feel sorry for those two goons.
I ain't afraid of you, Lotus Blossom.
Give me that urn! No way.
We saw it first, horn head! [GRUNTING AND SHOUTING.]
Well, here we go again.
[SHOUTING.]
Whoa! Dumb-dumbs! That isn't any ordinary urn.
It's cursed.
You can't scare us.
Look at it, stupid! It's a burial urn! A burial urn? [RAPHAEL.]
Nice going, hog-breath! You going to pay for that thing? Guys, look! [THUNDER.]
I am Chaka Hatchi, unleashed from the urn! I'm not sure this guy's ready for the big city.
[DONATELLO.]
I'm not sure the city's ready for this big guy.
I am Chaka Hatchi.
Excuse me, but weren't you the guy who said that ghosts were scientifically impossible? Okay, so I made one little mistake.
Who stole the pearl of Osagawaga island from my urn? [ALL.]
What? I vowed to find my kidnapped wife, even from beyond the grave.
I cast a spell which created the world of old Japan inside the urn, so that I could continue my quest.
The pearl was the key to that spell.
But when it was removed, the world within the urn vanished.
But if he's from ancient Japan, how come he's speaking English? Because we can't Now, I shall search for my wife here by turning this world into the world of my past.
All right, Chaka Hatchi! Do what you want in your own world, but leave this one alone! Silence, mortal! [SCREAMING.]
Such a strange new custom since I've been away.
Now everybody dress like turtle.
[COMMUNICATOR BEEPING.]
Have you got it? Yeah, but I don't think you want it.
Don't tell me you dropped the urn! Well, as a matter of fact-- You pinheads! I should let you stay there forever! Aw, please, boss.
No.
Gee, boss, you're the best pal a mutant ever had.
Well, that's two less goons to worry about.
[RAPHAEL.]
Yeah, but we've still got one big goon on our hands.
It sounds to me like the only thing that will make him happy is getting that pearl back.
What was the place on that matchbook? The Secret Hideout? Yeah, maybe the crooks are there.
And maybe they still have the pearl.
That's a lot of maybes.
You got a better plan? Yeah, but it mainly involves taking a cruise to the Bahamas.
I'll go get Lotus and take her with me.
The rest of you, try to hold him off.
That should be a snap.
You always give us the easy jobs.
What is going on? The urn broke, Chaka Hatchi's free, and we've got to find that pearl the crooks stole! Whoa! This city sure is changing.
[CARS HONKING.]
Hey, I ordered a cheeseburger! I'm sorry.
No cheeseburger.
We only serve sushi here.
Man, oh, man! We've got to do something about this, dudes! Don't panic.
We can handle this.
I must continue the search for my beloved.
I have no time to deal with you! My samurai will destroy you.
Okay, now panic.
[LOTUS.]
For a secret hideout, this doesn't seem very secret.
I guess they want to be sure everyone knows where it is.
But if it's supposed to be a secret [LEONARDO.]
It's a joke, Lotus.
I can't believe we lost that urn.
Who cares? We still got this.
A pearl as big as an onion.
Then I hope you won't cry if I take it away from you.
Here, take it! You, come back! That way.
Oh, yeah! Two can play at that game.
Hit it, Lotus! No more games.
Give us that pearl! You want it, get it yourself! We've got to find it.
Come on, let's blow.
This could take forever.
Boy, these samurai play rough.
[RAPHAEL.]
Yeah, why don't you go try to talk some sense into them? There's nowhere left to run.
Then we'll just have to take them! With what? [MEN SHOUTING.]
Can you believe this? I'm defending myself with a mackerel! Bye, guys! Have a nice day! Uh-oh.
I'd say the only way is up.
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
But at least the view's nice.
Yeah, but we may not be around long enough to enjoy it.
[LOTUS CRYING.]
Don't cry, Lotus.
It's not so bad.
It's not me, silly.
It's the onions.
In fact, for the first time in my life, I'm happy.
See? The modern world isn't so bad.
Sometimes it's even fun.
Maybe there really is a place for me here in-- I found it! When they yell "Timber!", start worrying! Where are you, my beloved? [LEONARDO.]
Stop! If we give you back the pearl, will you leave us alone? Yes.
I will continue my search within the urn.
Then here it is.
It is you, my long lost wife! I am nobody's wife.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You are she, the one I have sought for all these centuries.
But I am not 400 years old.
My wife's spirit lives within you.
Surely you must feel it in your heart, in your dreams.
Yes, you were the man in my dreams! Our souls have been searching for one another for centuries.
I will release her spirit from within you.
She will rejoin me in the world of old Japan within the urn.
No longer will your sleep be troubled by dreams of me.
Thank you for releasing the spirit from within me.
I will never forget you.
Sayonara, Lotus Blossom.
Now I can stay here in this world, where I truly belong.
Now you're talking, Lotus.
Well, as long as we're up here, anyone want to reach out and touch someone? I'm really happy for Lotus.
Yes, I think she's finally on the path to happiness.
Each of us must create our own happiness, my sons.
Then, truly, happiness will be wherever we find it.
Well, I know where to find happiness.
Right here in the old pizza oven! Huh? I was wondering where I left that thing.
Thanks, Michelangelo.
Well, I guess that's today's moral, dudes.
Search for happiness, and you find an old tire.
