Come in, anybody.

This is Donatello calling from Planet Earth.

Donatello, how much longer are you gonna send messages to outer space?

Until someone answers.

Donatello's discovery of a new Turtle Nebula

was a great moment for reptiles everywhere, my students.

Master Splinter is right.

Imagine if he does find other intelligent turtle life out there.

The important thing is, will they have pizza?

Come in, Turtle Nebula. Come in.

[Michelangelo] Donatello,

this is the Great Turtle.

Did you hear that? Amazing!

I bring you the secret of universal

happiness and contentment.

Tell us, O Great Turtle. What is it?

What else, dude?

Double cheese and heavy on the anchovies.

Had you going there for a bit, didn't I?

I sure hope I find a few intelligent turtles in outer space,

because there sure aren't too many of 'em here on Earth.

It seems your prank has caused Donatello much pain.

I hope it is not a lasting one.

Perfect.

Boy, I'll show those guys.

They probably would've laughed at Einstein's theory of neutronic thermaziods too.

Now, all I have to do is line up this transmitter

with the Turtle Nebula,

right between Cancer the crab and Pisces the fish.

Calling Turtle Nebula. Come in, please.

It looks like something's coming in.

Whoa! Now, that's what I call great reception.

[alien language]

Uh, what's that again?

[sniffing]

[alien language]

[chuckles] Sorry, old bean. Forgot the translator gadget.

Algernon's the name. You can call me Algie.

Well, I'm Donatello,

and you can call me totally baffled.

You broke my flimilfarb, and I'm counting on you to fix it.

Me, fix your, uh, what?

My spaceship. It's completely out of order,

and it's all your fault.

Now, in you go. There's a good chap.

[clears throat] Uh, you wouldn't happen to have a copy

of the owner's manual, would you?

All right! We're ready to rock and roll!

But mostly roll.

Maybe we should wait till Donatello finishes his new pizza machine.

No way, dude. let him conquer outer space.

I'm gonna break the home-pizza barrier.

That's the trouble with people nowadays.

They depend on machines too much.

Skill, craftsmanship--

that's what it's all abou... [yelling]

Is this what's meant by “family-size”?

If you could just tell me where the engine is.

Do I look like a common warp-drive mechanic?

All I do is steer the ruddy thing.

Well, what do you know? I found the hood release.

I think I found the trou... [yelling]

[groans]

I'm late for a job interview at Intergalactic U.

I really need that professorship,

now that the missus and I have 6 new eggs to care for.

Like I said, compadres,

frozen pizza is the happening thing.

Cool it, Michelangelo. We want to watch April.

This is April O'Neil, Channel 6 Action News,

with an inside look at Hiram Greltch--

or “Hostile Hiram,” as the unfortunate victims of his takeovers call him.

Not satisfied with owning every TV station in the city,

Hostile Hiram has now set his sights on our own Channel 6.

Well, we have 2 words for Mr. Greltch--

“fat chance.”

[screams]

What's going on? We'd better find out, fast!

[April screams] Aah!

Algie, where are you? Here I am.

Wow. A super chameleon.

A screaming female always sets me off.

We space lizards are a sensitive bunch.

Oh, my gosh. April!

[April screams]

Stay away from me.

Just who do you big apes think you are, anyhow?

We don't like all that stuff you been sayin' about our boss, Mr. Greltch.

Yeah, and we're gonna fix it

so you don't say nothin' else.

[screams]

[man chuckles] Bye-bye, sweetheart.

[screaming]

That's definitely April's scream.

I recognize the register.

Oh, please don't hurt us! At least don't hurt me.

For goodness sake, Vernon, show a little dignity!

I'll show them anything they want, as long as they don't hurt me.

Oh, I think the poor wimp is comin' unglued.

Let's fix that, shall we?

Oh, I beg of you, please don't shoot!

Oh, you didn't say “pretty please.”

[shouting] What have you done?

Hey, don't knock it, pal. That's super-sticky glue.

You're gonna be a lot more together now.

[laughing]

[man] Naughty, naughty. [screams]

[door slams open] Hold it right there, punks.

Donatello! And who's that?

Oh, this is Algie. We'll save the introductions for later.

[laughing] Hey, get a load of the security patrol.

A turtle and a lizard. What's the matter?

Can't Channel 6 afford Dobermans?

[both laughing]

[confused chattering]

Take that, you inconsiderate ruffians.

[both shouting]

Wow. Algie has mind energy.

[shouting continues]

[crash]

Okay, turtle, I'm gonna gum you up good!

Hy-yah!

[screams] Donatello, look out!

Yuck! Oh, no!

Put me down, you big gorilla!

[Donatello] Oh, no! We got to catch up with April!

[Algie] Still upper lip, old chap. Won't be a moment.

Let's not forget Vernon. As you wish.

[Donatello] Now, that's what I call a neat trick.

Thank you. It's all in the wrist, old boy.

[Michelangelo] Dude, can't you go any faster?

Maybe we should get out and push.

We won't be any good to April if we're in an accident.

Let's go, Algie.

Great! There's our way down.

And there's your friend.

Goin' down!

[screaming] Hey, you'd better camouflage yourself.

You know, a 4-foot-tall lizard and all that.

Oh, I see. But a 4-foot-tall turtle is fine.

Hey, please don't argue. Just do it.

Oh, all right.

[gasps] [body thuds]

[whistles] [tires screech]

Follow that car!

You look kinda green, pal.

I hope you ain't gonna be sick on my new upholstery.

[growls]

All right, that does it. No dogs allowed in my cab.

All right. Have it your way.

Please, mister! Promise not to change me into anything,

and I won't turn on the meter.

I'll think about it. Now, follow that car.

[cries out]

[all screaming] [horn blaring]

Please, mister, you promised.

No more crazy animals.

Look out! They're getting away!

They've thrown up some kind of force field.

Yeah, see? You'll never get in there now.

Says who? The whole building belongs to

Hostile Hiram Greltch, and he don't like strangers.

Try a little of your space magic on it.

Yaah! Any more suggestions, old bean?

Well, there's the Channel 6 building.

Oh, man, I don't believe it!

[Michelangelo] Mega-bummer. It's cop city.

[Raphael] We'll never get past them.

We'll have to get inside if we're gonna find April.

Got it, dudes. I'll put on a mask

and make like a reporter.

Ciao for now.

It's okay. Press. [triggers cock]

Whoa! [engine revving]

Okay, so I put on the wrong mask.

Are you sure your spaceship laser cannons will penetrate that force field?

As you Earth chaps would say, a piece of cake.

We've got to get back to the Channel 6 roof where your spaceship is.

If you don't mind, I'll do it my own way.

Your spaceship is gone! I had no idea this was a tow-away zone.

Greltch's thugs must've taken it, along with April.

Dear boy, do you realize what will happen

if anyone tries to take it apart to examine it?

I'm afraid to ask, but... what?

It will blow this entire planet

into the next dimension!

[laughing, snorting]

By this time tomorrow,

I shall be the new owner of Channel 6.

You're wasting your time, Greltch.

The owners will never sell, especially to you.

[chuckling] If they don't sell,

you will pay for their pigheadedness.

You're calling them pigheaded? Have you looked in the mirror lately?

[stifled chuckle]

Even those Martians you hired can't help you now.

I found this spaceship on the Channel 6 roof,

and as soon as I get it working,

I'm going into outer space

and buy up their airwaves too.

All I have to do is find out

how this inter-dimensional kiddy car works.

[Donatello] Well, at least we know for sure where April is.

The trouble is, we'll never get through that force field.

And if this chap Greltch tries to take my spaceship apart,

your entire planet is done for.

Hmm. These things

are more complicated than I thought.

Too bad. There go your plans

to take over every TV station in the universe.

Don't count me out yet.

Hiram Greltch didn't get where he is

by taking “no” for an answer.

Keep drilling.

Your constables seem to be departing.

And that means there's no one in the Channel 6 studio.

And that gives me an idea.

These things always seem to lead to trouble.

Listen, Greltch's force field has to be created

with cathode rays, right? “Cathode”?

Yeah, the rays inside your picture tube in your television set.

We don't have television. We have feel-avision.

Well, whatever. Come on, Algie.

Oh, you Earthlings are so impulsive.

So you see, if the force field is made up of cathode rays,

it can be magnified with an electron photo-multiplier.

Don't you get it? Not a single syllable, old chap.

Uh, Algie, what did you say you were a professor of, anyway?

I happen to be my planet's leading authority on drivelglats.

“Drivelglats”?

Tiddlywinks?

“Tiddlywinks”? What a silly name for such a serious pastime.

What I'm trying to say is,

with the force field surrounding Greltch's huge picture window,

it's like he's living inside a TV tube.

Meaning? Meaning, we're gonna put together

an interesting television show

for his viewing enjoyment.

Uh, Aliens from 50 Million B.C.,

Uh... Ooh!

Invasion of the Radioactive Rats.

Perfect. Algie, it's payback time

for Hostile Hiram Greltch.

[Michelangelo] We've covered the entire city, and no sign of April.

I'm certain she's at Greltch's penthouse, but there's no way in.

Tell us something we don't know.

I wasn't telling you. I was telling our viewers.

Maybe we can get an update.

[Michelangelo] Whoa, that dude sure looks familiar.

[Leonardo] He should. It's Donatello.

We interrupt this program to bring you the following emergency message.

Please, Algie, you've got to do it.

Must I? I'm too modest

to change in front of 40 million people.

Oh, please.

Do it for a fellow reptile.

Well, if you insist.

How's that? Perfect.

Uh, with me is the numero uno warlord of the Turtle Nebula,

and is he ever ticked off.

Tell the folks about it, warlord.

[roars]

Oh, look, boss. They're making a special announcement.

Boy, they sure got my attention.

Idiots. What's that got to do with me?

Hostile Hiram Greltch has stolen my spaceship,

along with a female Earthling!

Uh, it sounds like it's got a lot to do with you.

Whoa, dudes, who is that?

I'll bet it's some plan of Donatello's to free April.

Right. Some fake monster to scare the real one.

Unless they are both return unharmed in the next 5 minutes,

there will be interplanetary war!

Boss, you'd better do what that thing says.

Nonsense.

Are you wimps afraid of some actor

in a Martian costume?

That ain't no actor, boss. That's the real thing.

[roaring]

[Greltch] Don't just stand there.

Help me put this spaceship back together.

And hurry. We've only got 5 minutes.

Better make that 3 minutes.

I've seen this before.

[chuckles] The Invasion of the Radioactive Rats.

I certainly hope you're right, old bean.

Trust me. If there's one thing I know about, it's sewers.

Oh, dear. What's wrong, Algie?

[Algie] I'm afraid our entrance is riveted shut.

Hey, what about that mind power of yours?

Oh, that? It seems like such a showoff-y thing to do.

Well, swallow your pride and let 'er rip.

Hey, you guys hear something?

[all exclaiming]

Find that fuse box, fast.

It's the only way to deactivate the force field.

“Fuse box”? You know,

that thing you turned into up on the roof.

You mean, this? Exactly.

Get that turtle Martian!

Whoa-oa! Not so easy, is it?

Fuse box, fuse box. Whoa-oa!

I say, my good man, would you know where the fuse box is?

That's all right. Don't get up.

[fighting noises] Hmm, let me see.

[shouting]

Hurry, you pinheads.

We've only got 30 seconds left.

Howdy, folks.

Looking for a good used car? Come on down to Clem's Clunkers.

Uh-oh. The film festival is over.

A commercial,

in the middle of a Martian invasion?

There's something fishy about this.

You need to work on your landings, pal. This must be it.

Have you got that fuse box figured out yet, Algie?

[thud] Whoops! Ow! I guess you have.

[man] Hey, boss, what happened?

[Greltch] Can't you see the lights went out?

[all] Turtle power!

Okay, Greltch, your collecting days are over!

Yeah. Now we're gonna start collecting things, dude!

Starting with our friend, April.

My mean, green heroes!

What a relief. I thought I was gonna have to cover this whole story sitting down.

Ah, time to cut our losses. Follow me.

What's your hurry, boys?

Why don't you stick around?

What a thrill!

Usually only the Turtles get to do things like this.

[all clamoring]

Perfect timing, Donatello.

Oh, I say, we seem to be a bit late.

Leapin' lizards! The warlord is real!

Oh, guys, this is Algie.

Uh, well, I'll explain later.

[siren wailing] Uh-oh. It's the boys in blue.

[Leonardo] That means it's time for the boys in green to split.

Allow me, April.

With pleasure.

Come on, Algie. We'll haul your spaceship up in a minute.

A blimp? How primitive. But charming.

Can I drop you somewhere, April?

Did you have to use the word “drop”?

[chuckles] You mean this thing

is gonna sit in our living room for the rest of eternity?

Well, I'm afraid so, unless we can find some gas for it.

I already told you-- not gas, grutnip.

Well, yeah, but we can't help you until you tell us what “grutnip” is.

Grutnip is, well, grutnip.

Come and get it, amigos.

Fresh from Vinnie's.

[sniffing] What's that odor I detect?

Oh, we call it pizza. And we call it grutnip!

There's enough here to take me home at twice warp speed.

Uh, but... but... What generous chaps you are.

Cheerio, Earthlings! I'm off!

Oh, he's gone, just like that.

And with all our pizza. [laughing]

Not all our pizza.

Just in case I decide to take the scenic route home.

Ta-ta!

Hey, wait... [stammering]

He took my last piece of pizza.

[chuckling]

That's the way it goes!
