Magic Johnson, eat your heart out.

Oomp!

Careful, my Turtles.

Don't worry, Master. Our ninja moves

will protect us from injury.

But who will protect the furniture from you?

Pass it to me, Leonardo. I'm open.

Ooh!

Oh, major bummer, dude.

You just ruined a perfectly good

gumdrop chocolate chip pizza.

Never mind that. Get the ball before it...

hits something?

This is April O'Neil,

coming to you from the Uptown Museum,

where a brand-new exhibit has just opened--

the Marble Army of General Chin Chang:

identical marble warriors

from the Ying Dynasty of China,

2,000 years ago,

and all of them created

to protect the greatest of the Emperor's treasures--

this jade dragon,

holding the world's largest pearl--

and General Chang here.

Oops!

Isn't this the most exquisite pearl you've ever seen?

Huh! Dames go wacky over the weirdest things.

It's nothin' but a piece of shiny rock.

Not a rock.

It's the calcerious secretion

of a marine bivalve.

Ohh, thanks for grossing me out, dude.

Chill out, Michelangelo.

It's only an oyster.

A thing like that comes from an oyster?

My students, there are mysteries in nature we know little about.

The marble army and the world's largest pearl

will be on display only for a short time,

so hurry on down to see them.

You'll be glad you did.

Indeed I will, Miss O'Neil.

Did you hear that, Shredder?

So, what's so important about some worm-eaten old statues?

I happen to know that they're carved

from an extremely rare ionically charged marble.

I'm sure geologists everywhere are thrilled.

Didn't you see that statue

flicker to life for an instant?

If I run the correct electrical charge

through the ionically charged marble,

I can bring life to General Chang's stone soldiers,

turning them into an army of invincible slaves.

Uh, gee...you mean we won't be able to see them?

Not invisible. Invincible!

And more importantly, that giant pearl

is of incredible purity.

Meaning?

It will magnify

an electrical charge to such an intensity

as to create the most powerful force field beam

ever known, powerful enough

to pull this technodrome back to earth.

Take these activator devices

and those mutants of yours

to the museum

and test them out on that statue at once.

Whoa!

Ooh!

Ow!

Good. This is General Chang's statue.

Help me attach the activator device.

Uh, right, boss.

Now I'll bring it to life.

[ELECTRONIC VIBRATIONS]

It works!

Yeow! Yeow!

[BEEP BEEP BEEP]

It's safe to come out now...

you sniveling cowards!

Uh, are you sure?

Now, listen. I want you to descend into the sewers

and find the Turtles.

Uh, the Turtles? Now you're talkin'.

What do we do then?

We'll let the General here finish them off.

[BEEP]

Now, this is gonna be fun.

Please, Sensei, we need you.

What good's a four-man basketball team?

I fear I'm not good at Western pastimes.

Come on, Master Splinter. Let us teach you

the way you've taught us.

Well, perhaps there might just be

a lesson in this diversion.

Ha ha! All right, Sensei!

Your weapon, Master Splinter.

Yeah, that's it! Keep it up!

Whoa! Most excellent moves!

Master Splinter! Wait for us!

Can't you go any [BURP] faster?

Don't rush me!

There's only one of me

and a whole army of them!

What about those Turtles?

I don't want them interfering again!

Never fear. I've already sent them

a sewer surprise they won't forget. Ha ha ha!

Hmm. For once, you might actually

carry out a task successfully.

Why, thank you, Krang.

Yeah, and I might begin to like broccoli!

Yeah, well, if this really works,

I might not need my little fat-head friend, either.

Uh, Sensei... you beat us

nine out of ten games.

Aren't you getting tired yet?

Perhaps I have learned

all I can about basketball

for today.

Far out.

Let's go home and crash.

An excellent suggestion...

because tomorrow we must awaken early

in order to practice lay-ups.

Oh, Sensei, have mercy!

Attention, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Who said that?

That voice sounds awfully familiar.

I am Peking Duck,

the greatest kung-fu warrior of all time.

It's one of the statues from April's broadcast!

I challenge you soft-shell Turtles

to a duel to the finish.

Peking Duck, my shell!

Now I recognize that voice!

That's right, green teen.

It's me... [SNORTS]...

Bebop.

And me-- Rocksteady.

Yeah, I knew it--

the gruesome twosome.

Let's teach those mutants a lesson!

That statue is alive!

Well, it won't be for long.

Be my guest.

Unbelievable!

I'll handle this.

Yee-aah! Umhh!

Ohh...that guy's made out of solid rock.

Yeah, just like your head.

Well, looks like it's all up to me.

Hey! Hey...uh...

♪ Neener neener neener♪

♪ The shellback got them mad ♪

[BEBOP] Ha ha! Yeah. There'll be Turtle soup

for everyone tonight.

[ROCKSTEADY] Yeah!

[LAUGHS] Oh, boy.

Ain't this neat?

This guy Chang's about to make an ancient Chinese recipe:

Turtle Kabob. Ha ha.

I made that new meat loaf.

Better give up, Turtles.

Are you kidding?

When we got the home-court advantage?

Hey! Technical foul. Hanging on the hoop.

Yeah. For that, the General gets to shoot a couple of free throws.

[DONATELLO] Not anymore. He's run out of arrows.

But not out of swords.

Oh!

Quick, guys. Lead him this way.

[MICHELANGELO] Great. Great.

[LEONARDO] Quite an echo in these sewers.

Okay, now jump.

Am I a gifted athlete or what?

Jump, Michelangelo

Whoa!

Oh, thanks, dude.

Great catch.

All right!

Slam dunk right at the buzzer!

Okay. Now let's take care of Rocksteady and Bebop.

I knew we should have left early to avoid the crowd.

Quick. After them.

Let them go, my students.

We have more pressing business here.

Hey, he dropped this gizmo, whatever it was.

Hmm.

There's something familiar about this piece of marble.

I better take it back to the lab and check it out.

Another moment,

and my army of stone warriors

will be ready for battle!

There. Finished at last.

You will obey me! Now forward march.

Your left, your left,

you left your wife and 48 kids.

We've never faced this tough an opponent before, sensei.

Yeah, that stone warrior was a master of each of our weapons.

Hmm. I wonder how our enemies gain control of it.

I think I've got a clue.

This sword is made of a rare ionized marble.

Krang must have brought it to life with an electrical charge.

And controlled it with this beauty.

[BEEPING] Uh-oh. The Turtle com.

Turtles, rumor has it that an army of marble statues has come alive!

You mean those stone warriors in the museum?

Used to be in the museum.

Now they're marching all over the city.

Okay. We'll get right on it.

I guess you heard the news.

Donatello, how much time is needed to repair this device?

Days, if I really push it.

Then there is no alternative

but to track down those stone warriors

and stop them in any way possible.

No problemo.

We slam dunked one. We can handle the rest.

Be cautious, my Turtles.

These are worthy opponents,

and there is an entire army of them.

All set to cover that "stone soldier" story, April?

I sure am, chief.

I'm gonna need a closed channel, a remote standby,

and the credit card for the news-van.

It's a little low on gas.

You'll need something else: Me!

I'll go along, boss,

to make sure she doesn't foul things up.

Foul things up? Why, I outta--

He's right, April.

Remember, two-- two heads are better than one.

Even when one of them is Vernon's?

I heard that.

With which set of ears?

Whoa!

Well, I'd say this exit is pretty well-covered.

[MICHELANGELO] Like, how do we get out now, buds?

Fellas, maybe it's time to use the pizza parlor escape route.

Sounds good to this dude.

What's the delay, Shredder? Aren't you finished yet?

I'm going as fast as I can.

Unlike you, I'm only human.

Ha ha.

What in blazes is the problem?

A few of my--our troops, have proven faulty.

I'm making a few adjustments.

Speaking of things that are faulty,

thanks to your bungling, you dunce,

the Turtles have escaped!

And they know what we're up to!

That's it. Blame everything on me.

I always do.

[ROCKSTEADY] Mongolian pizza. My favorite.

Let's stop and get some!

Hey, no time for eats.

We gotta find those dumb Turtles.

[GROANS] What a killjoy.

Let's go. [SNORTS]

This time we got enough backup to clobber 'em.

[RAPHAEL] Why are we hiding? We can take those guys.

We're saving ourselves for Shredder.

He's the one we've gotta stop.

Hey, dudes, maybe we have time for a quick snack before we save the world.

Forget it, Michelangelo.

It's crazy to fight on a full stomach.

Ha ha ha!

The stupid shellbacks fell for it.

We're trapped.

All right, dudes. Let's show 'em what we got.

[ALL] Turtles, fight with honor.

Let's see if my fisherman's luck holds out.

I got one!

Teamwork, Michelangelo?

And fancy footwork, dude.

Cowabunga! Cowabunga!

[BEEPING]

At last. The final warrior.

[BEEP]

Yes? What is it?

Uh, sorry to bother you, boss,

but we think the Turtles are beating us.

What? That's impossible!

[STATIC]

If you say so, boss.

I must think of something.

[STATIC]

You'll think of nothing, as usual!

Once again, I have to come to your rescue.

Well, stop nagging and do it!

Okay. What we need is a hostage.

Have those stone warriors nab April O'Neil.

Hmm. Not a bad idea.

Although we've done that at least 30 times before.

But, hey, who's counting?

April here.

Vernon and I are headed for the museum.

No sign of any mobilized marble statues yet.

Really, April.

Why did you drag me on this wild goose chase anyway?

I dragged you?

We haven't run into a single statue yet.

[CRASH]

[APRIL] Feeling better now, Vernon?

April, let's get out of here!

We're trapped.

Trapped?

Turtles, I need help!

Come in, Turtles!

We're a little busy right now, April.

We're at the corner of Sixth and Spring

surrounded by an army of angry marble soldiers!

Come quickly!

Fun time's over, guys. April needs us.

How about we flip for this?

Heads I win...

tails you lose.

And you though only the other Turtles made witty remarks.

Never let it be said that we're not tidy Turtles.

Come on, dudes. April's waiting, and she's no ninja.

Don't you touch me, you--you walking mineral deposit!

Don't let them hurt me.

Please.

We've got to get to April.

They've got her surrounded.

Whoa, dudes. This could take a while.

Um, boss?

We hate to keep calling in with problems.

What now, you blithering idiot?

The soldiers got April O'Neil and her news-van surrounded.

But the Turtles are here, too!

Blast them! We'll have to regroup.

Attention, soldiers. Bring me that news-van now!

Hang on, April! We're coming!

Shredder, take that pearl!

Don't you know how to say "please''

No, but I do know how to say, "Nooooo!"

Close enough.

[ELECTRICITY BUZZING]

Soon I will begin my reign as ruler--No, no, no.

supreme ruler of the planet Earth.

This will be the end of the Turtles.

[EVIL LAUGH]

Donatello, how much time have we got?

Let's see...

Now, it took four minutes to trash one statue,

20 minutes to trash four of them.

So at this rate, it would take exactly,

oh, 12 hours 34 minutes and 11 seconds

to trash all 95 of them.

By then Krang will have carried out his evil plan.

So, like, what do we do, dudes?

Remember what sensei has taught us.

"The wise bird does not hop into the tiger's mouth.

It flies above it."

You mean? You mean? You mean?

Right! The Turtle blimp!

I'm a real wimp, aren't I?

Not at all, Vernon.

You've been very brave.

I have?

Well, certainly.

Why, you haven't fainted once.

That's right, I haven't.

[BURNE] April! Vernon!

What's going on? Why haven't you two checked in?

That's Burne.

He doesn't know the screen is broken.

[BURNE] I'm warning you.

If you're wrecked that news-van,

it's coming out of your paychecks.

Our paychecks?

[GROANS] That's not fair!

There's the museum, buds.

[DONATELLO] And there goes April And Vernon

carried in the van by these stone soldiers.

Let's try the roof.

Yeow!

Quiet. Have you gone batty?

[WHISPERING] No, but this museum has.

[MICHELANGELO] So exactly what are we scoping out here?

We're looking for a power source.

Listen for the sound of humming.

In what key?

[HUMMING] Hold everything.

It's right below us.

Prepare to descend.

Why, Miss O'Neil and Mr. Fenwick.

How good of you both to accept my invitation.

Do we have any choice?

Some people just don't know how to be civil.

I merely wish to thank you for dropping in

to see the control room of my new empire.

[RAPHAEL] Wanna thank us for dropping in, too?

The Turtles!

Uhh!

This is where I shut down the army.

Whoa!

Whoa. That must be the catalyst

for increasing the marble's power.

Ow!

Ha ha ha ha!

I have built in all sorts of protective devices.

Gotcha! Oops.

Whoo-hoo! It's hot! It's hot!

Whoa! They must have kept this in a pizza oven!

Yo, Leonardo! Here!

Yaaahhh--owww!

This is some hot potato.

All units to the throne room immediately!

Get those meddling reptiles!

Time for a tactical Turtle retreat.

That ought to hold them.

For about 30 seconds.

Ha ha ha!

You don't stand a chance now, Turtles.

He's right, you know.

We don't stand a chance.

What do you say to a little "Bowling for Pinheads?"

Sounds great to me.

Uhh! Uhh!

Fools! Imbeciles! Cretins!

Hey! That's one insult too many, boss!

There's only--uhh-- two of us under here.

Uh, could you, um, get these guys off of us...

uh...please?

[BEEP]

Finally, Turtles, the end has come!

Now give me the pearl.

Ha! I'd rather give you this!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

[SHREDDER] My army!

You've taken away my army!

Why, I ought to...

You ought to do what, Shredder?

Uh, boss...

I think we're, like, alone now.

Hmm. So we are.

In that case, open the portal, Krang.

Now!

Until next time, Turtles

Help me out of this, someone.

I'm stuck.

You know, Vernon,

you remind me of one of my favorite songs.

I do? What song?

Turkey In The Straw.

Cute.

Sensei, you've got to try

this Von Schnitzel's Mongolian pizza.

It's most perfecto.

Dare I ask... what is in it?

The usual Mongolian munchies.

Ox-burgers and yak cheese.

Hmm. To each his own.

Battle alert!

Hi, guys. I brought you this little fellow

as a memento of our adventure.

[DONATELLO] For us?

Right.

I thought you Turtles were pretty marvelous.

[GIGGLES]
