Michelangelo Is a party dude Party! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Heroes in a half-shell Turtle power! [.]
Here we have the Apis mellifera, or the common honey bee.
It doesn't look like any sort of a honey bee to me.
Oh, no, Mr.
Fenwick.
This is merely the genetic essence of the honey bee.
I have refined the genetic essences of numerous insects.
Centipedes, scorpions, various arachnids.
What would anyone do with the genes of such, ugh, disgusting creatures? With these essences, we can create insects which are genetically engineered for specific purposes.
And what would happen, professor, if these essences fell into the wrong hands? I think that's highly unlikely.
Oh, really? I notice you only have one security guard here at your lab at 50 West 57th Street, where you keep these dangerous genetic substances stored in an unlocked cabinet, right here in room 201.
See here, you shouldn't be-- [CHOKING.]
This is Vernon Fenwick.
Back to the studio.
Oh, I don't believe it.
Oh, man.
That idiot just invited every wacko in town to come after that stuff.
Guys, we'd better stake out that building.
That sounds like a lot of trouble, dude.
Better a little trouble now than a lot of trouble later, Michelangelo.
Yeah.
Shredder and Krang could have monitored that broadcast.
They're probably scheming to steal that stuff right now.
[.]
KRANG: Ugh! Cheap Earth junk.
I should have stolen my spare parts from Dimension X.
But I'll never get to Dimension X if I can't get this blasted portal working again.
At last.
I found it.
That's it.
That's a neutronium crystal.
After months of searching, I've finally found the element I need to get my retro-mutagen ray working again.
At last, I can destroy those accursed turtles, once and for all.
By turning them back into ordinary household pets.
[WHISTLING.]
MICHELANGELO: Dudes.
This is mondo boring.
Imagine what would happen if some mad scientist got his hands on those insect genes, Michelangelo.
We could have a million Baxter Stockmans running around the streets.
Nah.
That wacko fly won't bother us.
Thanks to Krang, he's stuck in some kind of dimensional limbo.
I have a feeling Krang and Shredder are plotting to get those genetic essences.
So they can create a new batch of mutants.
Gee, boss.
Why do you wanna fix that gizmo that undoes mutation? Wouldn't you rather be making some new mutants, like us? I've had enough of mutants.
Especially those turtles.
When my retro-mutagen ray is repowered, I'll get rid of them in a single stroke.
There.
Let's see if it works now.
Uh-oh.
That's not Dimension X.
It looks like the place we got rid of-- Baxter Stockman.
[BUZZING.]
I did it.
I'm free.
COMPUTER VOICE: Oh, Baxter.
You're so clever.
Stop that fly.
BAXTER: Stupid robot.
Flies hate robots.
Now to get even with you and Shredder for turning me into a fly.
SHREDDER: There.
The retro-mutagen ray is functional once more.
KRANG: Shredder, hurry.
I need you.
Baxter Stockman.
[KRANG GRUNTS.]
I'll crush you like the worthless insect you are.
Argh! COMPUTER VOICE: Baxter, if you get me to the main computer room, I can help you.
Plug me into that compu-slot.
All right, you miserable bug.
Prepare to be squashed.
Oh, no you don't.
I control the Technodrome now.
Baxter is my best friend.
You are going to leave him alone.
These robots are supposed to be on our side.
KRANG: That alien computer's controlling them.
BAXTER: Now you'll pay for turning me into a hideous, deformed mutant.
[BEEPING.]
Now I want to get my revenge on everybody in the whole wide world.
Baxter, look what I found.
--here at 50 West 57th Street, where you keep these dangerous genetic substances.
Dangerous genetic substances.
That's my favorite kind.
Yippee! I'm gonna get my revenge.
Wait, Baxter, old pal.
Plug that portable computer into this terminal.
Now let's go get some of Krang's mutagen.
[.]
[GUARD WHISTLING.]
I don't know about you dudes, but I'm ready to call it a night.
I guess that big guy can handle any trouble that might come up.
[TURTLECOM BEEPS.]
APRIL: Guys, it's April.
Dudette.
What's the haps? I'm stuck on top of a burning building.
I was covering a fire across the street when the flames jumped the rooftop.
We're on our way.
[.]
[ENGINE ROARING.]
Hey, you.
There's no parking here.
We flies can park wherever we want.
Wait, uh-- Argh! [WHIMPERS.]
[ALARM WAILING.]
COMPUTER: Over there, Baxter, old buddy.
Yes.
Yeah.
Now we really get to work.
APRIL: Oh.
I meant to cover the story, not become part of it.
Gotcha.
That was mighty slick rescue work.
Say.
What's that thing? It's the Super Slosher 2000.
The latest thing in fire combat.
Oh, yeah.
Fire can't run from the Super Slosher 2000.
Holy backdraft.
That guy ought to be making infomercials.
[RADIO RINGS.]
IRMA: April.
Burne wants to speak to you.
April.
You remember the genetics lab where Vernon interviewed that scientist this afternoon? Well, there's been a break-in.
Get over there and cover it.
Go, go go.
I'm on it, chief.
LEONARDO: Man, we turn our backs for one minute, and somebody robs the joint.
[TIRES SQUEAL.]
Now I need something to hold all this mutagen stuff.
If I only had a, you know, giant squirt gun kind of thingy.
Baxter, old buddy.
Look.
That's what I call a really big fly.
Pour in the mutagen.
Now my revenge begins.
[.]
COMPUTER: You did it, Baxter.
They've mutated into giant termites.
I'm suddenly filled with an overwhelming craving to eat a bunch of wood.
Soon the whole world will know what it's like to be an insect.
Like me.
PROFESSOR: This is all Vernon Fenwick's fault.
If he hadn't blabbed my address on the news-- Yes, but Vernon didn't steal your genetic essences.
From the look of these footprints, I'd almost say it was a giant insect.
Ah, I'll go you one better than that.
I'd say it was a 5-and-a-half-foot mutant fly with four arms named Baxter Stockman.
How on earth did you deduce that? Oh, just call it an inspired guess.
Yep.
That's Baxter all right.
Come on.
He probably couldn't muster enough brain cells to figure out how the doorknob works.
LEONARDO: But he knew to take those genetic essences.
Which means, he must still have that alien computer with him.
MICHELANGELO: Which means maximum mayhem.
Look at them.
Having fun.
They must all suffer, as I'm suffering.
It's good that you don't keep these feelings bottled up, Baxter.
And now I can choose what kind of insect I want to turn them into.
Your days as humans are over! From now on, you're all going to be insects.
Like, uh-- Oh, yeah.
Me.
[CROWD SCREAMING.]
[ALL SCREAMING.]
COMPUTER: It's working, Baxter.
You're getting your revenge.
And yet, I feel like something's missing.
Let me see.
I locked up Krang and Shredder, I'm turning the world into mutant insects-- Oh, I wish I'd made a list.
What about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, buddy boy? Yes, that's it.
I must destroy the turtles because of-- Uh, because of whatever it is I'm mad at them about.
The turtles have many friends at Channel 6, Baxter.
If you can get to their friends, you'll get the turtles.
That's brilliant.
I've got to get to Channel 7-- Baxter, wait.
Don't forget me.
Come back.
SHREDDER: We've got to get out of here.
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
Our shoulders are gonna break before that door does.
I built this place too well.
What about all these chemicals? Oh.
Good thinking, Shredder.
Some of them could be explosive when mixed together in just the right quantities.
Then let's get to work.
That fly's running loose in our Technodrome.
Who knows how much trouble he could cause? MICHELANGELO: Dudes.
There's something ultra-weird happening over there.
RAPHAEL: What the heck are they? LEONARDO: I don't know, but I'll bet Baxter had something to do with it.
DONATELLO: We've got a major insect problem on our hands.
LEONARDO: If they can destroy a carnival, think what they can do to the city.
DONATELLO: Let's stop them before they start spreading out.
[RAPHAEL GRUNTS.]
Does it bug you when I do this? Come on down and jam, you creepy-crawly-zoid.
Yeah.
Baxter.
Baxter, old buddy.
Don't leave me here like this.
You.
What are you doing here? I'm sorry.
This program is terminated.
Hey, don't give me that, you bag of bits.
How'd you like dumped into your logic circuit? All right.
Stop.
You see, it's like this.
Baxter got some of Krang's mutagen.
[GRUNTS.]
Oh, man.
What I wouldn't give for a giant can of insect repellent right about now.
[SCREAMS.]
Whoa! Dudes, these bug-heads are winning.
At this rate, we're gonna wind up as insect chow.
You were right, Leonardo.
Baxter Stockman has been here.
And I got his pal to spill the beans.
The fly's trying to mutate everyone in the city into insects.
LEONARDO: Then we don't wanna hurt any of those creatures.
They're really just innocent people.
Yeah, and I've got worse news.
Baxter's at Channel 6.
He could be mutating Irma and the others right now.
We've got to stop him.
DONATELLO: Fine, 'cause we can't stop them.
[ENGINE ROARS, TIRES SQUEAL.]
Mm.
It's really spooky.
It shouldn't be this quiet.
My buddy Baxter's going to get you.
Oh, shut up.
MICHELANGELO: Dudes, what's with this wall? This isn't a wall.
It's a giant honeycomb.
[BUZZING.]
The turtles.
I've got you now.
That sounds likeBurne.
Oh, buzz off, Burne.
You aren't gonna sting anybody.
Now, I'm the boss, and I can sting whoever I want to.
RAPHAEL: You know, he has a point there.
[BUZZING.]
What the heck? APRIL: It's Irma.
Anybody got a mothball? Whoa! KRANG: There.
That should be just the right mixture to blow the door wide open.
This power cell will detonate it.
Are you sure you know what you're doing? Of course I know what I'm doing.
I'm a scientific genius.
Who's trapped in a broom closet.
I suggest you cover your ears.
[.]
[RUMBLING.]
SHREDDER: Nice work, Krang.
You nearly blew us all to kingdom come.
I'm going to have to [COUGHS.]
think about this.
BAXTER: And now here's the latest news for all of you out there who are turned into mutant insects.
For those of you who aren't insects yet, don't worry, you will be soon.
Consider the many advantages of being a giant mutant insect.
No more worrying about your picnics being ruined by ants.
You are the ants.
VOICE [OVER INTERCOM.]
: Master.
We have two of the turtles.
Excellent.
We insects will never fully rule the world, until those turtles have joined our kind.
How far could those bug-brains have taken Leonardo and Michelangelo? Let's look in there.
[.]
What--? Who put this net here? Ungh.
This isn't a net.
Uh, it's a web.
Are you sure? DONATELLO: Ask him.
RAPHAEL: Vernon? "S-s-step into my parlor," s-s-said the s-s-spider to the turtle.
VERNON: How nic-c-ce of you to s-s-stick around for dinner.
That is the most nauseating proposition I've ever heard.
Hang on, guys.
Hey.
That was my midnight s-s-snack.
Vernon, don't be an idiot.
We're turtles.
You couldn't bite through this.
Yeah.
Spiders don't eat turtles.
We don't? DONATELLO: Spiders eat flies.
Mmm.
Sounds-s-s delicious-s-s.
Uh-huh.
And we can get you the biggest, juiciest fly in the universe.
All you have to do is spin a big web just outside this building.
For a gourmet meal? I'll do it.
KRANG: I've got it, I've got it.
Get me out of this bubble-walker.
But why? Because we're going to rebuild it into a powerful lever to pry that door open.
Well, hurry.
Baxter Stockman may have done untold damage to the Technodrome by now.
He may even have stolen my retro-mutagen ray.
I've heard of cocooning, but this takes the taco.
Mind your own beeswax, Burne.
Turtles, you will pay for what you did to me.
Uh, Baxter? Just what did we do to you? You know, I can't remember.
But you're gonna pay for it anyway.
Sorry, Baxter.
You'll have to take a rain check.
[IRMA YELLING.]
April.
Gotta fight this.
I must help my friends-z-z-z, not attack them.
Get Baxter.
LEONARDO: After him.
Oh, joy.
Food.
Help meeee.
Help meeee.
Nab him.
[.]
Hey.
That's my entrée.
Sorry, Vernon.
That is not how we get rid of villains on this show.
April.
[APRIL GRUNTING.]
APRIL: I don't wanna hurt you.
Dudes.
We've got to get all these people back to normal.
Well, I know how to do it.
But you're not gonna like it.
How? Shredder's retro-mutagen ray.
Yeah, but that means getting to the Technodrome.
Baxter must have taken an amphibious module up here.
Okay, Baxter, lead on.
Or we'll throw you back to Vernon.
The stress of applied pressure should be enough to force the door open.
SHREDDER: Harder, you fools.
We've got to find Baxter Stockman and stop him.
Ooh.
Face it boss, it ain't working.
Will you quit whining?! Try again.
[.]
All right, you two-bit calculator.
Where's that retro-mutagen ray? I honestly don't know.
But I can give you one important piece of information.
I control everything in the Technodrome.
[GRUNTING.]
So much for those robo-creeps.
Yeah, but there's plenty more where they came from.
And Baxter's best buddy is controlling them all.
DONATELLO: We've gotta shut down the main computer.
Tell me where that ray thingy is.
I wanna be normal again.
I really don't know, Baxter.
Okay.
I'll just have to wing it.
I thought you might come here.
So I took some precautions.
Cover me.
With these? Just keep those machines away from me.
Snap it up, Donatello.
No.
Now to find that ray.
BEBOP: Oh, face it.
That door is never gonna open.
SHREDDER: There's something strange going on here.
What do you mean? Everything's back to normal.
That's just what worries me.
Who knows how much damage Baxter Stockman may have caused by now? [.]
RAPHAEL: Shredder.
The turtles.
It's back to the pet shop for you.
If that ray hits us, forget about the Teenage Mutant Ninja.
We'll just be plain turtles.
You can't hide from me now.
You're finished.
[ALL GRUNTING.]
BAXTER: Mine.
Mine.
Mine.
At last, I'm going to be normal again.
[YELLS.]
We've got to get that ray device back.
It's the only thing that'll turn April and the others back to normal.
Now I can be rid of the lot of you.
No.
It's mine.
[BAXTER WHIMPERING Um, guys.
We've gotta get outta here.
MICHELANGELO: Cowabunga! [SHREDDER GRUNTS.]
We don't want him following us.
Oh, no.
Not again.
[.]
There.
Now everyone in the city is back to normal.
Thank goodness we won't have to worry about that anymore.
Wh-what's going on? What happened to us? And why do I feel like I've been eating sweaters? Ooh, yuck.
Baxter Stockman turned you all into mutant insects.
That's right.
Burne was a bee, Irma was a moth.
And Vernon, you were a giant spider.
Oh.
Oh don't be ridiculous.
Hee-hee! It's true, Vernon.
I have it on tape.
I still don't believe it.
Me? A giant mutant spider? What a preposterous notion.
[FLY BUZZING.]
You know, suddenly I feel terribly hungry.
No comment.
