Michelangelo: A very wise frog once said it's not easy being green,

but, believe me, he didn't know the half of it.

In the past 48 hours,

my brothers and I have been attacked by killer robots,

had our home caved in on us,

and had a serious butt-kicking ninja battle

with some deadly ninja assassins.

We made a shell-raising escape in an armored car,

found a new place to live...

This is beyond awesome!

and were attacked by even more killer robots.

( screams )

Oh, and we also managed to perform

our very first ninja rescue.

This is the closest any of us have ever been to a human being...

How you doing?

and it raises one very big question.

Can we keep her?

Oh, man, what a dream.

Turtles fighting robots?

Did I fall asleep watching TV again?

That was the...

weirdest thing I've ever seen.

( clicks tongue )

Hi!

- ( screams ) - ( screams )

Please don't do that.

I almost jumped out of my shell.

It has three fingers!

I'm asleep. I'm asleep. I'm asleep. I'm asleep...

This isn't going very well.

- I'm asleep. I'm asleep... - Hey, come on.

We don't have much practice talking to humans.

I'm asleep. I'm asleep...

It's gonna take a little time.

I'm asleep. I'm asleep.

I'm so asleep.

I'm asleep. I'm asleep. I'm asleep.

( yawns ) Man, she's making me sleepy.

- Hey, you. - What?

What do you know about those Mouser robot things?

Well, first I thought they were for cleaning up the city's rat problem,

but then I got suspicious when Dr. Stockman said--

Oh, no.

- I'm talking to it. - What?

I'm talking to it-- to you!

Okay, April, you are talking to a giant three-fingered turtle.

The only logical explanation is that you're dreaming,

so everything's okay. Hello.

Hello, April. How are you doing?

Oh, I'm fine.

Everything's absolutely great.

( chuckles ) Oh!

Then perhaps you are ready to answer some questions.

You're--You're a--

( sighs )

You sure have a way with the ladies, Master Splinter.

Now what do we do?

Let's nudge her.

I'll snap her out of it.

Splinter: Raphael, no!

Aw, somebody get me when she wakes up.

( hip-hop music playing )

( song continues )

( clanking )

Huh?

( tile cracking )

W-What is that?

- ( all screaming ) - Earthquake!

( people yelling )

- Help! Help! - Out of my way!

This way, please!

Something's happening in the vault!

( alarm stops )

( gasps )

( funk music playing )

Hey.

Hey, Earth to Mikey!

Ow! What?

She woke up.

Leo made her some tea,

and she's ready to consider we might be real.

Awesomely radical, dude!

Huh. You keep talking like that,

she's gonna pass out again.

Hey.

So, you okay now?

Yes, thanks.

I've decided this is either a very long dream

that I keep not waking up from,

or it's the weirdest thing that ever happened to me.

Young woman, we have something

most important to discuss.

What?

We have never revealed ourselves

to the upper world.

You have placed us all in great danger.

But, Master Splinter, she was in trouble,

and we helped her.

Yeah, aren't you always teaching us

to try to do the right thing?

As you grow older, you will learn

there are many ways to do the right thing.

But there is no going back.

I'm afraid we find ourselves at your mercy.

Oh, I would never tell anybody.

I mean--heh-- who would believe me?

She's got a point.

Yeah, we're unbelievable!

Jeez, where's your off switch?

Seriously, I promise.

I believe you.

Is this another lesson, Master Splinter,

how to sense the truth?

No. This is called trusting your gut.

So if I'm keeping your secret, what exactly is it?

Who are you people?

Uh, turtles? Uh, whatever?

I have memories,

memories of when I used to be

what you might call normal.

I remember a day that started like any other,

but ended changing the course of many lives.

I witnessed an accident.

A young boy carried a glass jar

with four pet infant turtles.

An old blind man was crossing the street

when he was almost run down by a large truck.

( truck horn honks )

Hey!

Look out!

Splinter: As the truck swerved,

a metal canister bounced out of the back.

It smashed open,

releasing a glowing ooze which covered their bodies.

I took pity,

gathering them up in a coffee can.

( coos )

I took them to my burrow.

The next morning,

I awoke to find the four had doubled in size.

The ooze had affected their growth.

It changed me also,

making me larger and more intelligent.

They followed me everywhere except aboveground.

I knew the people of the surface

would not understand.

We are so different.

I was amazed by their dexterity,

but even so, I was not prepared

for what happened one day.

Splin-ter?

They actually spoke my name.

Soon they all were speaking.

Awesome!

Mine! Heh heh.

- ( laughs ) - Hey!

- Pizza, dude! - Get off of me!

Cowabunga!

( all chatter, laugh )

Splinter: Intelligence followed soon after.

Realizing that the world above

is sometimes a dangerous place,

I began teaching them ninjitsu,

the secret arts of stealth and power,

and all that I knew of this world

from a battered book on Renaissance art

that I fished out of the storm drain.

I chose names for each of them--

Leonardo,

Donatello,

Raphael...

Ow!

Michelangelo.

Together, they are...

All: Turtles forever!

Or something like that that we all yell at once.

First rule, ignore Mikey.

Your life will be much easier.

So we have remained in secret,

and that is our story.

But how did you know martial arts?

That is a story for another time.

Hey, guys! Look at this!

Reporter: And the police are completely baffled

by this daring bank robbery

boldly executed in broad daylight.

If anyone has any information,

the police urge you to call the Crime Stoppers hotline.

Michelangelo: So, anybody want to take a wild guess what did this?

This must be what I heard Dr. Stockman talking about.

He's got the Mousers robbing banks.

What do you know about this Stockman guy?

He's a genius.

He's also nuts.

I used to work for him,

but when I got suspicious,

he turned the Mousers on me!

Luckily, I ran into you guys.

He destroyed our old lair.

Must have been one of his Mouser test runs.

But that was our home.

Now he's graduated to banks.

Then what are we waiting for?

I say we shut down Mouser Central permanently!

Ha ha! I just love those action-movie lines.

You write those yourself?

It won't be easy.

Stocktronics is rigged with the latest

up-to-the-minute security tech.

Hah! Bring it on!

Allow me to introduce

our very own secret weapon,

the techno turtle himself, Donatello!

Take a bow, Don.

Heh. Aw, cut it out.

Can we go, please?

Excellent. Excellent!

The world, as they say, is my oyster.

And aren't the pearls lovely?

- ( beeps ) - ( groans )

What?

Dr. Stockman.

Make it quick. I'm very busy.

I am contacting you to verify

that you are fulfilling your end of our bargain

and that you are on schedule.

I will not stand for any more of this idiotic interrogation!

I've advanced the Mousers to the next stage,

and they are securing the funds

from the banks as you requested.

Can you grasp that simple concept?

Do not presume too much, Dr. Stockman.

The price for failure will be quite extreme.

Imbecile!

Shh. Shh.

( soft beeping )

Alarms in the sewers?

Is this guy paranoid or what?

Will you shut it?

I'm just saying.

Could April and I have some quiet?

This is delicate work.

Ooh, "April and I."

"This is delicate work."

Give me a break.

Is this the place?

There's a computer terminal in that lab.

Get me in, and I can create blank spots in the security system

to get you through to Dr. Stockman's main lab.

Don't look now.

We already got a blank spot right here.

Hey!

Okay, I'm in.

I'm blanking the cameras

along that corridor at 10-second intervals,

so you've got to keep moving.

We'll be right back.

Good luck.

Hey, these guys are good.

This is too quiet.

Uh, guys, my turtle sense is tingling.

( amplified ) Intruders?

Here to steal my secrets?

You'll leave here with nothing,

not even your lives.

What on Earth are you?

Hmm, I suppose I'll have to dissect you to find out.

Impossible.

Whoa!

( groans )

Your reign of terror is over, Stockman!

You been practicing that?

You like it?

What are you?

They're with me!

April? You're alive!

And kicking!

I've got enough evidence

to put you away for years, Dr. Stockman.

- ( alarm blaring ) - That's enough!

Hah! Too late!

I've recalled the Mouser horde from their latest mission.

They'll be here any second!

They'll tear you to pieces.

April?

I'll have to shut the whole system down.

I'll help.

You're doomed. Listen.

April...

( whirring )

Now's the time.

( groans ) The system isn't responding.

You should never have matched wits with me.

He's getting away!

Let him go. We got bigger problems.

( roaring )

( roaring )

At least we'll go out fighting.

Actually, I don't want to go out at all!

It's not working!

Keep trying!

This is it. It's been fun, guys.

Even me, Raph?

Even you, Mikey.

Especially you.

( whirring slows, stops )

- ( cheering ) - Yeah!

Good job, April.

I've never seen anything like that.

Hah! Loser!

Uh, guys? Guys?

I wasn't able to shut them down.

They look pretty shut-down to me.

The only way I could stop them

was by initiating an overload sequence.

( alarms blaring )

In other words, let's get out of here!

( laughs ) I've got them.

I've got them all!

Oof!

You.

What do you want, Hun?

Trouble, Dr. Stockman?

Trouble? No! No!

Everything is proceeding exactly as I planned.

Perhaps you'd like to explain this plan to the master?

( grunts )

Let me go, you brainless, muscle-bound idiot!

Let me go! Let me go!

Reporter: And the authorities are completely perplexed

by the destruction of the Stocktronics building

and the sudden disappearance of Dr. Baxter Stockman.

What will you do now, Ms. O'Neil?

You are most definitely out of a job.

I'm not exactly sure.

We'll help you get back on your feet.

You guys, you've all been, well, great.

And by guys, I guess I mean four big, green, talking turtles

and a giant talking rat.

Here's to the new team!

- ( cheering ) - Yeah!

So, as any fool can see,

the whole thing was simply a minor setback.

With your continued funding,

the research can continue immediately.

I'll be back at work, oh, Monday morning.

You must pay the price for failure, Dr. Stockman.

N-No!

Where are you taking me?

You'll regret this!

N-No!

Hmm.

We have the image you requested, Master.

So, the last remaining image

the Mouser optics recorded.

These are the ones responsible.

Raah!
