Michelangelo quotes from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987)

Donatello

The chocolate chip pizza.

Michelangelo

Chocolate chip pizza?!

Leonardo

Don't do it, Michelangelo!

Michelangelo

It's no use, Leonardo. Don't try talking me out of it.

Raphael

You don't know what you're letting yourself in for.

Michelangelo

A turtle's gotta do what a turtle's gotta do.

Donatello

Please, Michelangelo, don't go for pizza! It's raining cats and dogs.

Raphael

And the dough gets real soggy.

Splinter

Besides, there is still one last box of pizza mix in the cupboard.

Michelangelo

There is? All right! Well, let's get cooking!

Raphael

Smooth move, Michelangelo. What are you doing with that stupid cap on?

Leonardo

[to Michelangelo] And why did you take the starcruiser?

Michelangelo

Oh, I took the starcruiser to earn some extra dough delivering pizzas.

Raphael

Extra dough? You mean pizza dough.

Michelangelo

Never mind that, dudes. I just found out I've been hauling pizzas for Shredder.

Leonardo

Shredder?

Raphael

Boy, I know the villain business has been bad lately, but that's ridiculous.

Michelangelo

No, listen, Shredder put a homing device in the pizza, disguised as an anchovy. It was supposed to lead him to our lair.

Ahh!

Michelangelo

Shredder's gonna be really steamed. When he finds out he's following the Rat King.

Leonardo

He's gonna be even madder when he finds out we're following him. Come on!

Three sailors?

Irma

You're gonna problem with that?!

Raphael

Those cardboard cutouts will get their attention, while we attack them from the side.

Excuse me. Which one of you ordered the pizza with chocolate sprinkles and clam sauce?

Michelangelo

Yo, dude. Right here. [grabs a pizza, opens it and eats it]

Leonardo

I think we've got you, Raphael.

Raphael

My beautiful strategy done in by a pizza.

Splinter

The winners of the next contest will be champions for the day.

Raphael

It's time for you to get motivated, Michelangelo.

Vernon

This is the story of the century. And I caught it, all by myself.

April

[outraged] With my video camera.

Vernon

[smugly] Who cares? I'm Channel 6's new star reporter now.

Irma

[angry] Oooh, of all the lowdown, sneaky, backstabbing...

Michelangelo

Hey, don't sweat dudettes. The whole world's got his numero.

Donatello

Yeah. He'll be lucky to keep his own job.

Raphael

Yeah. Once it gets out that he totally blew the story of the century.

Vernon

[indignantly] Just what are you blabbering on about?

Leonardo

It's so nice of you to look after us while we're sick, April. By the way, this soup is cold. Could you warm it up again?

Raphael

April, can I have a glass of water?

Donatello

Could you get me another blanket?

Michelangelo

Tell me a story.

April

Ah, for a bunch of heroes on the half shell, they can be real babies!

Michelangelo

Nyah, nyah nyah, nyah you can't get us.

Raphael

[annoyed] Will you cool it, Michelangelo. We've got more important things to worry about.

Donatello

Hey, Michelangelo, how about a pizza with the works?

Michelangelo

Pizza? No way, dude. I crave pizza no more.

Leonardo

Amazing.

Donatello

Astonishing.

Raphael

Not bad. Maybe now it's safe to order out for some pizzas.

Shredder

No need, dudes. I brought back some takeout. So, like, let's get down and pig out.

Leonardo

It's Shredder!

Shredder

Where!? Where!?

Raphael

I don't believe it! We finally got rid of Shredder.

April

And best of all, before he could get his evil hands on Channel 6's latest transmitting equipment.

Leonardo

Knowing him, he would've turned it into some powerful new weapon of destruction.

Michelangelo

Do you realize what this means, dudes?

Raphael

Yeah. Turtles retire with honour.

Leonardo

I can resume my studies of the martial arts.

Donatello

I can get back to my inventions.

Michelangelo

I can get back to making pizzas.

Raphael

I don't know about you, but this turtle can use a well-deserved vacation. You know, London. Paris. Borneo. Some real fun.

Leonardo

It's a Neutrino baby. She must have come through a portal.

Donatello

Here's a note. "Dear Ninja Turtles, please keep an eye on our Tribble. We'll dig you later, Gizzla and Zenter”. [While he’s reading, Tribble climbs out of the basket, onto the floor, and crawls away]

Michelangelo

This diaper dudette must be their offspring.

Leonardo

They wouldn't have sent her unless there was real trouble.

Raphael

Well, there's real trouble right here in Sewer City. Tribble has disappeared. Oh, great. Two minutes on the job, and we're blowing it."

Raphael

Oh, man, this is too much! How can you guys watch that big phony?

Michelangelo

Dude, he's no phoney. [He uses the remote to turn the TV back on] Rondo's totally cool!

Donatello

It's only a commercial for his new movie, Raphael.

Michelangelo

Yeah, and look what April got us; four tickets to the premier of it. "Rondo VIII: Hit Hardest."

Raphael

Yeah, I think I'll wait for the home video.

Leonardo

And I need to do my ninja workout.

Michelangelo

Don't pass this one up, dudes. The theatre is serving free pizza.

Leonardo

On the other hand—

Raphael

It is a unique cultural event.

Donatello

And we wouldn't want to disappoint April.

Leonardo

Where are you going, Donatello? The movie doesn't start for a couple of hours.

Donatello

Oh, April arranged for me to use the City College biology lab this week.

Leonardo

There's April now.

Donatello

We're gonna have to distract him so I can get to those controls!

Michelangelo

[spots a pizza box] April said he dug pizza! [he and Donatello kick Slash away into a pile of garbage where a steel bucket clamps onto his head] Pizza time, dude!

[pulling off bucket] Give me that pizza!

Donatello

Oh no! [he pulls the control lever sending the ship soaring skyward and Slash and Michelangelo down a chute]

I want that pizza! [takes the box away from Michelangelo and looks into it to find nothing there] What? No pizza? You tricked me! EVERYBODY TRICKS ME!

Raphael

April, don't drink any- Oh, no.

Michelangelo

There zombies too.

Michelangelo

Pizza?

Leonardo

No, we gonna get you lot eat tower.
