Leonardo quotes from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987)

Leonardo

Sorry, I can't hear you with in air awesome.

Leonardo

Hey, Donatello, turn it wrestling back on.

Leonardo

Enough talk, let's take him!

Leonardo

Sorry, Raphael?

Leonardo

What was that?

Leonardo

And where's suppose to be a team?

Shredder

You would be wise to lose your flippant ways if you wish to join the honorable Foot Clan.

Leonardo

Why should we want to do that?

Shredder

Because it was I who made you what you are today. If not for me, Hamato Yoshi would never have left Japan. I followed him to this country, where I gained my advanced technology, including my rare experimental mutagen. It was I who caused you to mutate into your humanoid form. You owe everything to me! Don't deny your destiny. Join me.

Raphael

Does the phrase "go suck a lemon" hold any meaning to you?

Michelangelo

You wanna clue us in on what this is?

Baxter

It's the remote control for my mousers.

Leonardo

Do you have any more of these "mousers"?

Baxter

No, but the Shredder has. Hundreds of them.

Leonardo

Where is the Shredder now?

Baxter

I'll never talk.

Raphael

You better. Or else I'm going to get 'Sai-castic'.

Baxter

[He talks in a terrified rapid pace] He's in an old mansion on Green Street near Kent. He's got a master control for all the mousers there.

Raphael

[Sheathes his sai] See? Nothing beats cutting wit.

April

And as he crossed the finish line, the tortoise realised that slow and steady does won the race, for he had beaten the hare.

Raphael

I love that story.

Michelangelo

Read it again, April.

April

But I've read it five times.

Donatello

Just once more. Ahhh [falls asleep]]

April

[steps away and chuckles as Leonardo comes in cleaning his katana] Just a bunch of sleepyheads.

Leonardo

They'll need their rest. Because tomorrow, we're going to find The Shredder and finish him. [sheathes his katana]

Krang

Now, wretched reptiles, you will face... the wrath of Krang!

Michelangelo

Wasn't that the name of a movie?

Leonardo

I don't believe I saw it.

Raphael

And I don't believe I'm seeing this!

Leonardo

He's still alive. Let's get him to shore, quick.

Michaelangelo

Man. This is one freaky-looking alien.

Donatello

He probably thinks you're pretty weird too.

Shredder

[watching from a nearby bush out of sight] What have those meddlesome turtles stumbled upon, now?

Leonardo

Head for the high ground!

Donatello

[trying to reach up] Uh, I got news for ya: the high ground is too high. [the Turtles get washed away]

Leonardo

Remember, we're turtles! We're at home under the water!

Raphael

Just keep telling me that!

Michaelangelo

Whoa buds. That was one totally radical ride.

Leonardo

Now all we gotta worry about is getting to shore.

Raphael

We've got bigger problems than that, Leonardo.

Donatello

[To Raphael] You're always looking for trouble.

Raphael

[points] Oh yeah? Well, this time the trouble's looking for us.

Donatello

Yikes. It's Moby Dick's big brother.

Michaelangelo

I promise, dudes. I'll never eat another anchovy pizza again.

Raphael

I got news for you. You may never eat another pizza, period.

And I repeat. Two delinquents are on a rampage in Times Square. One wears a rhinoceros mask, the other a warthog mask.

Leonardo

It's Rocksteady and Bebop.

Donatello

I wonder why the temper tantrum?

Raphael

Beats me. Maybe they passed a mirror and saw what they looked like [chuckles].

Donatello

This waiting is getting on my nerves.

Raphael

Don't worry. It'll be over soon.

Leonardo

And he'll be here any minute. And then we do what we do best!

Raphael

Yeah.

Michelangelo

Pizza! Ta da!

Donatello

Mm. Good stuff, Michelangelo.

Michelangelo

[Splinter arrives] Uh, master Splinter. I know you don't dig pizza. [He holds a sushi tray] So I got you a sushi tray.

Splinter

It is thoughtful of you, Michelangelo, but I'm afraid I'm not hungry.

Raphael

[to Michelangelo] He didn't want it.

Donatello

I don't blame him. Raw fish! Yech!

Michelangelo

Splinter's been acting mondo depressed lately. What do you suppose is bringing him down?

Raphael

He's probably worried about Shredder's next move.

Leonardo

I don't think that's it. I think master Splinter misses being human.

Michelangelo

Oh, I think you got it, bro. Like, wouldn't it be rad if we could grant him his wish?

Raphael

Yeah, but a chemical that can change a rat into a human ain't easy to come by, even in this city.

Donatello

Hold it, guys. I think I've got just the thing. Follow me.
