Shredder quotes from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987)

Shredder

Get it off her!

Shredder

Get off your tail we've got work to do!

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?

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?

Shredder

Stop, stop! STOP!

Rocksteady

Oh, we was starting to have fun.

Shredder

Shut up! You are Krang's stone warriors are you not?

Yeah. So?

Shredder

There is something I must show you.

We gonna catch those kids.

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.

Shredder

What the devil happened? Where the devil are we? Dimension X? No!

Krang

At last, I can conquer my home dimension.

Shredder

But I don't want to conquer this place! I want to conquer Earth!

Krang

In Dimension X, I am absolute master. You will do my bidding from now on.

Shredder

The Shredder takes orders from no one!

Krang

We shall see, Oroku Saki.

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?

I wonder where that lady with the three dollars went.

Yeah. This thing's starting to get heavy.

Shredder

I'll be happy to take it off your hands.

Hey! Where'd you come from?

Shredder

If you must know, from Dimension X, in a far-off galaxy.

You don't scare us, Mister. We’ve seen every episode of Star Trek.

That's right. Now give that thing back.

Greetings.

Shredder

Who or what, are you?

I am O.M.N.S.S. Omnipotent Multiprocessing Nexus Sub-universal sentience.

A thinking machine.

Shredder

Artificial Intelligence?

Hmph! I prefer the real thing.

A disbeliever, eh?

Shredder

Parlour tricks! Those are of no use to me.

This is nothing compared to what I am capable of doing! With a stronger power source, I could control every machine in this city.

Shredder

Then you shall have it, my friend. You shall have it!

Shredder

[destroying punch-bag] Those blasted Turtles! Because of them I've lost the helmet!

Baxter

I think I have the solution to your problem Master.

Shredder

Not now! If Krang finds out about this…

Baxter

But Master, I…

Shredder

I said "silence" you blithering fool, I'm thinking! I can't be bothered with your ridiculous toys at a time like this!

Baxter

[muttering to himself] Ridiculous toys, hmm? [he puts the Sarnothometer in his pocket and leaves]

Shredder

Now, stop wasting my time with those idiotic inventions of yours! Baxter? Baxter, where are you? BAXTER?!

Drop your weapons! [Draws his laser pistol] You are under arrest in the name of the Emperor Shredder!

Donatello

Shredder. I should've known.

I repeat! Drop your weapons!

Leonardo

Forget it. We rather drop our bodies. Turtle Power!

Emperor Shredder, there is no sign of the four Turtle criminals.

Shredder

[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.

Krang

Shredder, you bungling idiot. I should've known better than to listen to you. And another thing....Wait, what are you doing? STOP!!!!

Shredder

Sometimes, I don't know who I detest more. The Turtles, or you?

Krang

Come in, Shredder.

Shredder

What perfect timing. I'm just about to destroy the Turtles.

Krang

Oh no you don't. I want that pleasure to be all mine.

Shredder

What are you saying?

Krang

I'm saying let them go. I have the robot now and I intend to destroy them on national television.

Shredder

I won't, I won't, I won't.

Krang

You will, you will, you will. Or I'll come looking for you in this thing. [Ends the call]

Shredder

You never let me have any fun.

Shredder

[To the Turtles] You wretched reptiles. You'll pay for this.

Bebop

Yeah. And bring cash. We don't take plastic.
