Donatello quotes from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987)

Donatello

Hey, cut it out. You're ruining my finish.

Donatello

That might be a clue. It looks like someone tracked it in. If we knew what it is and where it came from, we'd know where they took Irma.

Donatello

Wow, way to go, Wolfman.

Donatello

That was a note. It suppose to reading, not eat it.

Donatello

This is exactly was dreaming about?

Donatello

Whoops!

Michaelangelo

[To April] Well, what do you think?

April

I think you did those robberies. [She makes a break for the exit but is blocked off by Donatello]

Raphael

Ah ah ah ah ah. Wait a minute. Did I miss something here? Ain't you up on current events, lady? We just saved your life.

April

The thieves were ninjas, pal.

Michaelangelo

Yeah, but were they turtles?

April

It doesn't matter. You're still news.

Donatello

No way. You put us on TV and every scientist in town will be after us.

Raphael

And we spent half our lives crawling around the bottom of a glass bowl. And we ain't going back.

Donatello

Which means that you're staying here until we work this out.

Shredder

I must congratulate you. [enters to meet the turtles]

Donatello

It's the same guy we fought last night

Shredder

You passed the test with flying colors.

Raphael

Test? What test?

Shredder

Your hairy little friend knows me as Oroku Saki, but you may call me "The Shredder".

Raphael

A kitchen utensil?

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]

Michaelangelo

Uh-oh. It's that Retro Mutant Thing-of-a-bob.

Donatello

He's gonna use it to turn us into ordinary turtles

Raphael

Well, gang, it looks like it's back to the ol' pet store for us.

Shredder

No, far from it. Tonight I dine on turtle soup.

Donatello

Hey, Michelangelo told us how you trashed those two punks in the supermarket.

Raphael

Just our luck to miss it. We could've used the workout.

Michelangelo

Aw, those dudes were easy. Not like taking on Shredder's foot ninjas.

Donatello

Kinda weird, you know? If it wasn't for Shredder, we'd still be four tiny pet turtles.

Michelangelo

For sure. That was pretty cool the way his mutating gel made us grow.

Raphael

Yeah, but that same gel left our Master Splinter trapped in the form of a rat. Boy, I'd like to go one on one with that shred head.

Donatello

Forget it, Raphael. Shredder's stuck in Dimension X along with that flipped-out brain creature, Krang.

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?

Donatello

Quick, boil some water.

Raphael

We're not delivering a baby, dimbo.

Donatello

I heard it in a movie.

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.
