Everything's cool in this direction, dudes.
[WHISPERING.]
It's all quiet here, too.
[WHISPERING.]
Ready, Raphael? [WHISPERING.]
How come I always get the difficult stuff? Here he comes, compadres.
Uh, guys, it's going down now! Whoa! Ahh! Whoa! Now, Raphael! Alright! I'm first in line! Well, what do you want to rent? Snow White and the Seven Samurai.
That's our only copy.
[CUSTOMERS.]
Aw! Boy, you have to get up early if you want the latest releases.
I was picking up my little Johnny for wrestling class.
We live in a quiet neighborhood.
Then I saw him.
He was coming straight toward me.
Skateboarding pizza delivery boys.
Threat or menace? On the next Vernon.
I don't get it, Irma.
How come Vernon gets his own talk show? Because he's controversial, April.
Welcome again to Vernon.
Today's controversial topic: Did Elvis invent the video game? I guess you'll just have to dig up something controversial, April.
[BURNE.]
You're darn right, you will.
The happy hour news ratings have gone down the tubes, while Vernon's show is our biggest hit.
Now, go dig me up a hot story, or you'll be back covering fashion shows.
I'll get him a hot story, alright.
Well, if it isn't Channel Six's biggest future fashion reporter.
Oh, give it a rest, Vernon.
Why, youWait 'til Burne hears how you spoke to me.
Come on, April.
Forget it.
Gee, Mr.
Vernon.
Can I have your autograph? Why, certainly.
[IRMA.]
Gee, success sure has gone to Vernon's head.
Why not? There's so much empty space in there.
So, where are you gonna get a story? I don't know.
Shredder hasn't tried to conquer the world lately.
He was always good for a hot scoop.
[KRANG.]
I can't stand being stuck in this desolate wasteland.
[ROCKSTEADY.]
Uh, gee, I think it's pretty.
Who asked you, you pig-headed pea brain? Shredder, isn't any of our communications equipment working? Only the transdimensional communicator to planet Earth, which is exactly what I need.
Oh, but my soldiers are all here somewhere in Dimension X.
True, Krang, but the Turtles are on Earth.
Don't tell me you're still determined to get revenge against those green brats, Shredder.
There are more important-- Nothing is more important than my vengeance against the Turtles, who dishonored me.
Boy, after all the trouble we went to, this movie had better be good.
Relax, dude.
I hear it's the greatest martial arts action fairy tale ever made.
[SIGH.]
It seems like all we ever do anymore is rent movies.
Of course, Leonardo.
With Shredder trapped in Dimension X, we've got a lot of spare leisure time.
[ANNOUNCER.]
Starring-- I didn't know Shredder was in this movie.
Greetings, accursed Turtles.
He's not.
He must be jamming the TV screen somehow.
I have a proposition for you.
[APRIL.]
What the heck? You meet me in an hour at the Southside Dump and I'll be waiting to kick your shells in! There's our story! We gotta get a crew.
No! I don't want Vernon catching on to this.
We'll go alone.
You mean I get to help you? I'm more eager than ever to do you web-footed wimps in.
I'll get right down to the Southside Dump and scoop April.
I love media journalism.
It makes me feel so macho.
Remember, Turtles.
You have one hour to meet me there.
[ZAK.]
It's not coming from Earth, cats and kitties.
You mean, it's coming from here in Dimension X? Yeah, sounds like old Shredder's gonna make trouble for those swingin' Turtles.
We gotta help them.
We Neutrinos never let down a pal.
Hey, Zak.
Can you get a fix on the source of the transmission? Roger, Daddy-o.
Neutrinos, let's rock and roll! Remember, the Southside Dump.
One hour.
Be there.
Man, I don't get it.
We blew that guy into Dimension X.
What do you think, Master Splinter? It's obviously a trap of some sort.
Shredder himself said as much.
And we're gonna just walk right into it? We need a plan.
I've got it! Let's not show up.
No, we can't do that.
It would be extremely un-Turtle-like.
Yeah, but it would be smart.
No way, we've gotta go, dudes.
Even if it is a trap, we've gotta know what old Shred head's up to.
Michelangelo's right.
We'll go.
Be careful, my sons.
Oh, and if we're not back in three weeks, cancel my subscription to Turtle's Home Companion.
[KRANG.]
How in the universe do you expect to take on the Turtles? The dimensional portal isn't even working.
Ah, but the dimensional teleporter is.
We once used this device to bring foot soldiers to Earth.
Now it will bring the Turtles to Dimension X.
You're going to bring the Turtles here? Of course.
So that Bebop, Rocksteady, and I can dispense with them.
Oh, goody.
And then we can get rid of 'em, too.
Morons.
I'm surrounded by morons.
[DONATELLO.]
Yech.
Why couldn't Shredder have set his trap in a cleaner place? Well, when he shows up to destroy us, you can ask him.
There they are.
[LEONARDO.]
Stay alert, everyone.
We don't know where it'll come from.
[TURTLES.]
Oh! This is Vernon with an exclusive interview with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Tell me, will the city's new "Clean Up the Sewers" program have a major impact on your lifestyle? I'm gonna have a major impact on your lifestyle if you don't clear outta here! Vernon, this is dangerous.
Beat it.
Show some respect for the media, will you? Uh, Vernon.
I hate to mention this, but there's a huge, glowing whirlwind right behind you.
Oh, please.
Don't give me that old huge, glowing whirlwind routine.
I'm here to get a story.
[RAPHAEL.]
I got news for ya, Vern.
You're the story.
Ohh! I'd say Vernon's interview just got canceled.
Yeah, and we're next.
So that's Shredder's plan.
What's Shredder's plan? That thing must be some kind of dimensional transporter.
He's trying to drag us into Dimension X.
Huh, with a tornado? You sure he's not trying to drag us to Oz? [IRMA.]
Ahh! Hang on, Irma! I--I can't! Ahh! Whoa! [LEONARDO.]
It's April and Irma.
[RAPHAEL.]
Where'd they come from? I don't know, but I'm following 'em.
Kowabunga, dude! Michelangelo! Whoa! [DONATELLO.]
Raphael! They're gone.
Whoa! Uhh! Oh, and I still had two Turtles to go.
Donatello, is that transdimensional portal of yours still working? It never worked.
It's got to work.
It's their only ticket home.
Come on, let's boogie.
After them, you fools! Right, boss.
[MICHELANGELO.]
Come on, you guys.
Let's get the lead out.
[IRMA.]
Where are we? In the Technodrome.
In Dimension X.
Whoa, what a story.
You're not gonna scoop me, April.
I'll show you who's the best news hound.
Ha! Some news hound.
You couldn't even hang onto your own camera.
[MICHELANGELO.]
Over here, gang.
Kowabu-u-u-u-unga! [RAPHAEL.]
Well, that was easy.
I've gotta stop saying things like that.
[APRIL.]
Get to cover! [RAPHAEL.]
What cover? What are we going to do? They're going to get us.
I just know it.
Maybe if everyone who believes in fairies will clap their hands, we'll be miraculously rescued.
[MICHELANGELO.]
The Neutrinos! What'd I tell ya? Climb in, hep cats.
[MICHELANGELO.]
Dudes, are we glad to see you.
Wait! Come back with our Turtles! [APRIL.]
This is incredible! But it's my story, April.
Get your own camera, Vernon.
Hey, you guys don't have a transdimensional portal, do ya? Nah, I can't afford one on my crummy allowance.
Look, I hate to tell you, hep cats, but the only portal I know of is right over there.
[RAPHAEL.]
You mean, we're going to have to break back into the Technodrome and use Shredder's portal? That's the story, morning glory.
Maybe I could learn to like it here.
Oh, this thing needs a whole new power transformer.
Perhaps you can borrow one at Channel Six.
With April gone, that's gonna be tough.
It's our only hope.
It's their only hope.
[MICHELANGELO.]
Okay, so, like, now what? Hey, Daddy-o.
These are the coolest vehicles in the known universe.
[BURNE.]
You mean, you haven't heard from Vernon all day? April, too? That's just great great great great.
We're gonna have a ratings nosedive if those two don't turn up.
Throw out all that old junk.
It's being replaced with new junk.
Oh, wait.
Break time.
Talk about a lucky break.
There's just gotta be a transformer in here somewhere.
Gee, I wonder what Raphael and Michelangelo are doing right now.
[RAPHAEL.]
I bet Donatello and Leonardo are wondering what we're doing right now.
Keep moving, dude.
We gotta find that portal.
If we have to, we'll search this whole pad, dad.
I think maybe it's in here.
I think maybe I'm wrong.
[SHREDDER.]
Well, well.
Bebop, Rocksteady, show our guests some old-fashioned ninja hospitality.
[THEME SONG.]
Hey! Our blasters.
Kowabunga and all that jazz! Whoa! [MICHELANGELO.]
Heads up, Shred head.
Ahh! This'll keep you from rusting, chrome dome.
What a story.
What a story! Ha ha! You guys couldn't hit me with-- uh, a rubber tire.
Did you ever have that run-down feeling? Vernon, come back with my camera! I don't see him anywhere, April.
Laundr-o-matic computerized clothes-washing system.
Come down and fight, you web-footed freak.
Whoa! Hey! Kowabunga! No! Now, let's see.
Rinse.
Spin.
Ah-ha! Super wash.
Whoa, that'll clean up their act.
Yeah, wait'll they hit the fluff dry cycle.
Come on, little dudes.
Let's find that portal.
Ahh! [COUGHING.]
[GURGLING.]
[SHREDDER.]
Get me out of here, you morons! [VERNON.]
Somewhere on this forsaken planet, there's got to be a really controversial story.
This thing's, like, totally shot.
And the big portal screen's not working either.
Aw, swell.
Now we're really stuck.
Uh, guys, I think you should know-- Dig this, cats.
The transdimensional radio still works.
Set it to the Turtle frequency, dude.
Oh, am I glad to see you.
Donatello's just gotten our portal working.
Uh, guys Not now, April.
Okay, I'm ready to bring you home.
Alright! Here we come.
All five of us.
Four of us.
Huh? That's what I've been trying to tell you.
Vernon's disappeared.
Yeah, well, it would serve him right if we just left him here.
Yeah! No.
We can't leave him here.
Besides, he's got April's minicam.
With all her footage in it.
She's right, dudes.
You're just gonna have to wait 'til we find him.
Well, we can hold out.
But I don't know about the portal.
[COUGHING.]
[SPUTTERING.]
Where the devil have you been? Don't ask.
Uh, we was getting squeaky clean.
And springtime fresh.
And shiny bright.
Enough! While you idiots have been bathing, I found out something really important.
This is no ordinary mountain we're stuck on.
It's a volcano.
A series of precisely-placed explosive charges could create an eruption, and blast the Technodrome loose.
Very well, I'll find the Turtles while-- Oh, you've done enough bungling today.
The Turtles are loose.
The place is crawling with reporters.
You even managed to get those bratty Neutrinos involved.
Bebop and Rocksteady will find the Turtles while you mine the crater, under my personal supervision.
There's no sign of that square anywhere.
Yeah, Vernon must've split the Technodrome.
[APRIL.]
He probably went looking for a story.
Oh, like this one wasn't big enough.
[ZAK.]
There's only one hot spot on this squaresville planetoid.
The Blast-o-Rama Pleasure Dome.
[DASK.]
This is it, cats and kittens.
[BURPS.]
I've gone to the ends of the universe to find a controversial story.
Alien singles bars: The new trend? Excuse me, sir.
Do you feel that this is a good place to find dates? No, we feel it's a good place to get into fights.
Ohh! Noo! What is this? The Smasherino Arena.
It's where we come to work off tension after a hard day at the plutonium mines.
By fighting.
Time out.
You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses.
Cut the funny stuff and fight! Hey, you big creep! Put down thatlittle creep! Yeah, that little creep's our friend.
Sort of.
[VERNON.]
Oh, please.
Ahh! Oh, you want him, huh? Well, you're gonna have to fight for him.
Well, that suits me fine.
Maybe we should help those hep cats out.
Ahh! Some roundup, eh, partner? Somebody around here's got a sick sense of humor.
[MICHELANGELO.]
Oh! Ha! Ha! Ha! Oh, please! Stop! Stop, dude! Please! [LAUGHING.]
I can't help feeling we forgot something somehow.
That's right.
You forgot the T-- Quiet, Irma! [ALIEN.]
Get him! I hope this thing works.
Uhh! Yeah! Yep, it works.
That's it.
Super power.
Hey, guys! Catch! Oh, no! What a pair of suckers.
Hey, where'd our gang go? [MICHELANGELO.]
They're gone.
But their starmobiles are still here.
[VERNON.]
Shredder's goons grabbed them.
And me, without my video camera.
Let's hurry.
April stole my story.
[RAPHAEL.]
Oh, can it, Vernon.
Or I'll go back and give those aliens your home address.
[SHREDDER.]
I don't believe it.
How could you possibly forget the Turtles? Uh, because we're so smart.
Give it up, Shredder.
When this volcano erupts and blows the Technodrome free, we can easily hunt down the Turtles.
Meanwhile, we'll just leave these pesky reporters and you insufferable Neutrinos to a molten doom.
[DONATELLO.]
Hey, uh, guys.
We gotta bring you back now.
Huh? How come? Well, 'cause in about one minute, my portal's gonna blow up! [MICHELANGELO.]
Hey, look! Whoa, dudes, what's happening? Krang's gonna blow this place up and free the Technodrome.
If the Technodrome gets loose, it'll mean bad news for everyone in Dimension X.
Wrap it up, guys.
Maybe, if we move these explosives, it'd keep the Technodrome stuck here.
That oughta mess things up nicely.
Hit it, Donatello.
Here we go.
See, we made it in plenty of time.
Now, to unleash the power of the volcano and b-b-b-blast us to freedom! What the devil? The eruption.
It wasn't big enough.
The lava's hardening.
[SHREDDER.]
You idiot.
So much for your great plan.
We're more trapped here now than ever.
I've gotta get out of this bonehead outfit.
[VERNON.]
I, Vernon, am here on the trail of a great story of how one reporter fell into another dimension.
I can't use this footage.
It's nothing but pictures of you.
But this, this is good.
Good good good good good.
April, you did it.
It's the scoop of the century.
And you, I don't want to ever catch you touching a camera again.
Well, old Shredder's really stuck in Dimension X this time.
Even from another dimension, he was still able to menace you, my sons.
I fear we will hear from Shredder again.
Yeah, and he'll probably call collect.
[DASK.]
Hey, way out hep cats.
We didn't get to say goodbye.
We're gonna miss you crazy Turtles.
Yeah, we'll miss you, too, Kala.
Don't let anything happen to yourselves.
[LAUGHS.]
You're so cute.
Gee, thanks.
She meant me, dude.
Oh, come on.
I'm much cuter than you are, bud.
Get off the planet, bud.
Everyone knows I'm the cutest Turtle.
Hey, hey, hey.
I'm pretty darn cute myself.
What are you talking about cute? [ALL TALK AT ONCE.]
