And I repeat. Two delinquents are on a rampage in Times Square. One wears a rhinoceros mask, the other a warthog mask.
It's Rocksteady and Bebop.
DonatelloI wonder why the temper tantrum?
Beats me. Maybe they passed a mirror and saw what they looked like [chuckles].
DonatelloThis waiting is getting on my nerves.
Don't worry. It'll be over soon.
And he'll be here any minute. And then we do what we do best!
Yeah.
Pizza! Ta da!
DonatelloMm. Good stuff, 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.
It is thoughtful of you, Michelangelo, but I'm afraid I'm not hungry.
[to Michelangelo] He didn't want it.
DonatelloI don't blame him. Raw fish! Yech!
Splinter's been acting mondo depressed lately. What do you suppose is bringing him down?
He's probably worried about Shredder's next move.
I don't think that's it. I think master Splinter misses being human.
Oh, I think you got it, bro. Like, wouldn't it be rad if we could grant him his wish?
Yeah, but a chemical that can change a rat into a human ain't easy to come by, even in this city.
DonatelloHold it, guys. I think I've got just the thing. Follow me.
[The Turtles, in the Turtle Van, are surrounded by an army of Rex Clones]
Drop your weapons! [Draws his laser pistol] You are under arrest in the name of the Emperor Shredder!
DonatelloShredder. I should've known.
I repeat! Drop your weapons!
[Rex Clone fires a laser shot, and blows a hole in the bridge in front of the Turtle Van]
Forget it. We rather drop our bodies. Turtle Power!
[The Turtles drive the Turtle Van through the hole, and it lands in the ocean. Two of the Rex Clone robot look down at the water through the hole]
Emperor Shredder, there is no sign of the four Turtle criminals.
[watching everything on his viewscreen] Excellent! Excellent! The Turtles are gone at last! [presses a button on console] Emperor Shredder to all robot enforcers, proceed to Phase Two.
[The Turtles learn from Kellerman that he's going to keep badmouthing them in public despite them having just saved his life.]
Aw, man. What a scuzzbucket.
Donatello[To April] Well, at least you still got the video tape of us tangling with Shredder.
Right. That'll prove we're not villains.
Sorry guys, but my camera was totalled during the battle. [shows her camera into immune, which has indeed been totalled.]
DonatelloOh great. Our name's still mud in this city. [The turtles turn around disconsolant and start walking home.]
Total bummer, dudes.
Some days it just doesn't pay to come out of your shell.
Thank you, turtles. I feel like such an overgrown klutz.
Now, Irma, it's not that bad.
Yes, it is. I'll never be normal again.
Aw, lighten up, Irma. It's no biggie.
No biggie?! (cries)
Oh, nice work, Michelangelo. You and your big mouth.
Big mouth?!? Waah!
DonatelloHey! Cut it out! I just had my shell turtle-wacks.
And I used to think it would be fun to be tall!?
No, Irma, don't!
Oops! I did it again.
[The Turtles have just been beaten in a practice fight with Shredder whilst in Splinter's body.]
Oh man. He whipped our shells, but good.
There's something strange. I know sensei's fighting style. And that wasn't it.
DonatelloYeah. Do you know who it reminded me of?
SHREDDER?!
[a bonk to the head has given him amnesia, so he believes that he is D'Artagnan] Come, my comrades. There are wrongs to be righted, and damsels to be saved. And you Musketeers aren't even dressed. [throws clothes towards Raphael, Donatello and Michaelangelo, who all catch them]
DonatelloUh, my fault guys. I left the costumes that April sent over in Leonardo's room.
Clever move, brainiac.
Actually, Donatello did the right thing. You must humour him by putting on these costumes.
Pretend we're musketeers? Bogus dude.
Look, I'd give Leonardo the shell off my back, ok? But I am not wearing lace with feathers and that's final.
DonatelloSame here.
Ditto. [They are now dressed in the costumes].
I feel pretty stupid.
DonatelloSame here.
Ditto.
I still can't figure out this place.
It's like totally bizarro. Nobody knows who we are.
DonatelloHold it, guys. I just figured it out. The reason nobody knows us is we got our wish.
What wish?
DonatelloRemember? Last night, we thought the world might be better off if we never existed. [points to the city out the window] Well, this is the world without the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
What do you mean we don't exist?
DonatelloWe've been transported to some alternate world. It's just like ours except for one important difference.
What's that?
DonatelloWe Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles never lived. Why else would our best friends April and Irma run away from us?
Maybe it's our breath.
We've been trudging through this swamp for hours, now.
DonatelloYeah. And all we've got to show for it are blisters the size of Rhode Island.
Yeah. And mosquitoes the size of seven-forty-seven's.
DonatelloThe chocolate chip pizza.
Chocolate chip pizza?!
Don't do it, Michelangelo!
It's no use, Leonardo. Don't try talking me out of it.
You don't know what you're letting yourself in for.
A turtle's gotta do what a turtle's gotta do.
DonatelloPlease, Michelangelo, don't go for pizza! It's raining cats and dogs.
And the dough gets real soggy.
Besides, there is still one last box of pizza mix in the cupboard.
There is? All right! Well, let's get cooking!
Hey, Donatello, I thought you fixed this.
DonatelloWhoa! I did, and now it's fixing us!
I'll handle this!
This beats everything. Now what are we gonna have for dinner?
Smooth move, Michelangelo. What are you doing with that stupid cap on?
[to Michelangelo] And why did you take the starcruiser?
Oh, I took the starcruiser to earn some extra dough delivering pizzas.
Extra dough? You mean pizza dough.
Never mind that, dudes. I just found out I've been hauling pizzas for Shredder.
Shredder?
Boy, I know the villain business has been bad lately, but that's ridiculous.
No, listen, Shredder put a homing device in the pizza, disguised as an anchovy. It was supposed to lead him to our lair.
Ahh!
Shredder's gonna be really steamed. When he finds out he's following the Rat King.
He's gonna be even madder when he finds out we're following him. Come on!
This is the story of the century. And I caught it, all by myself.
[outraged] With my video camera.
[smugly] Who cares? I'm Channel 6's new star reporter now.
[angry] Oooh, of all the lowdown, sneaky, backstabbing...
Hey, don't sweat dudettes. The whole world's got his numero.
DonatelloYeah. He'll be lucky to keep his own job.
Yeah. Once it gets out that he totally blew the story of the century.
[indignantly] Just what are you blabbering on about?
