Scenes with Donnie 106

You were not fully prepared for what was up there. I trained you to fight as individuals, not as a team. And as your teacher, your father, the responsibility for that is mine. Perhaps in another year we can try again.

Donnie

A another year!? Has everybody forgotten that people were kidnapped!? They don't have a year! Sensei, we have to do something now! You weren't there, Sensei. You didn’t see the way that girl looked into my eyes. She was scared and she's counting on me- I mean us- to save her.

[Splinters turns to stare at the black-and-white picture of himself, his wife Tang Shen, and their infant daughter Miwa]

Yes. You must save her.

I agree, Sensei, but in that fight we weren't actually a well-oiled machine.

Like that robot with the brain thingy.

Give it a rest.

TThe Turtles

Whoa.

So that's the...

Donnie

...Mutagen that turned us all into what we are now.

Let's drink some!

What!? Why would you do that!?

'Cause if you mutate a mutant, you get a super mutant!

Donnie

Or a pile of goo on the sidewalk.

Either way, it's an improvement.

Guys, this is huge. Whoever kidnapped those people are somehow connected to what happened to us 15 years ago.

[clearly not liking what he just heard] Not only did Raphael alert the Kraang, but you got caught... [glares at Raph] on video!

[defensively] Sensei, he was the angriest, nastiest guy you ever met!

Except for you. [Raph slaps him] Ow!

You should've heard the insults this guy was throwing at us. They were so... insulting!

[sarcastically; not buying this excuse] Oh, I did not realize he said mean things. Of course, you had no choice but to jeopardize your mission!

[mockingly] Burn. [Raph grits his teeth]

You are ninjas. You work in the shadows, in secret. This becomes difficult if there is proof of your existence in high definition!

[trying to talk his way out of it] Look, we know where this guy lives. All we need to do is find him and shake him until the tape pops out.

Donnie

Oh, there's no tape. Video phones use flash memory and-- [Raph growls like a bulldog in annoyance]

Anger is self-destructive.

Raphael

[side commenting disrespectfully] I always thought it was... others-destructive.

[sternly; fed up with Raph's attitude and disrespect] Raphael! Stand up.

Somebody's in trouble~...

SBSpider Bytez

[after mutating] What did you do to me?! I'm hideous!

Don't worry, the four of us can handle him.

Donnie

Okay, this might be a bad time to point this out, but you sent one of the four of us home.

And right now, I wish it was me!

SBSpider Bytez

This is your fault! I'm gonna rip your heads off!

All right, guys, prepare to dish out the mighty wrath of justice!

Donnie

Seriously, just yell "Get him!"

[Mikey starts to approach the apartment.]

Donnie

What are you doing?

Whoa, hey!

Mikey, wait!

What? I'm returning Mittens to her owner.

Are you an idiot? Wait, let me rephrase that. You're an idiot!

Donnie

You can't show yourself to a human.

Why not?

Donnie

Because they'll freak the heck out, that's why not.

No they won't. I'm not so scary.

You're an ugly, green mutant armed with ninja weapons.

Look, this guy is gonna see that I'm just a regular cat-loving dude like him. The next thing you know, we'll be best buds! This is gonna be awesome! [jumps down, despite his brother's protests, to the owner of the cat's balcony]

Hi! Here's your--

COCat Owner

[screams in horror] Ugly, green mutant freak!

But I got your cat!

COCat Owner

Help! He's got my cat!

[Splinter sees Leo sweep Raph, giving him a flashback to when Shredder used that move on him. Cut back to reality]

Where did you learn that!?

Mikey learned it from his new friend.

The man who taught him that kata is no friend! It comes from the Shredder.

Donnie

Shredder?

You mean Bradford is one of his students?

He must be!

So Bradford's just pretending to be Mikey's friend to get to you!

Oh, man. Everything makes sense again. [then realizes] Mikey's in trouble!

[in disbelief] How many times have I told you not to skateboard in the lair?!

Michelangelo

[missing the point] None, Sensei.

[annoyed] I shouldn't have to tell you!

(As they get up) You're right, Sensei. We definitely should have known better—

(The Turtles glare at Mikey before bowing their heads in disappointment)

(Disappointed) —and we deserve to be punished. Eh, some.

(Sternly gets up in Leo's face while stroking his thin beard) And what do you think would be a fitting punishment?

(Nervous, looking at his brothers, who whistle innocently) Well, uh, we… we should clean up our mess? [Splinter folds his arms] And then.... think about what we did.

TTurtles

(Muttering quickly together) Yeah. Sounds about right. We were wrong. Wouldn't want to do too much. No worries.

(Testing them) What about being grounded for a week?

(Hesitant) Oh, I'm not sure that's-

(Quickly trying to escape it) I'm cool with the thinking.

Donnie

(Anxious) Really, that's not necessary.

(Dismissive) Maybe next time.

(Angry) YOU'RE GROUNDED FOR A WEEK!

(The Turtles groan in defeat as the skateboard ramp collapses behind them, leaving an even bigger mess.)

And where have you been?

Nowhere?

How did you get so hurt?

Oh, that. Well, uh, we were...

Hit...

Donnie

By a...

Bus?

Donnie

[whispers to Mikey] Hit by a bus?!

Well, what was I supposed to say, meteor, cow, flying building?!

[Splinter brings Donatello a new Bo-Staff]

Raphael

Look, Spike. Donnie got a new stick to break.

Don

With all due respect Sensei, I can't keep fighting alien technology with a six-foot staff. I was hoping to upgrade my weapon.

Hm... a seven foot staff. Interesting.

Donnie

No, I meant using modern technology.

Ah, a solar-powered staff.

Donnie

I'm serious, sensei.

I know. And yes you may upgrade your weapon.

Donnie

That's totally unfair! You can't just--Did you just say yes?

Ninjas have improved their arsenal for decades. We are masters of adaptation.

Donnie

[Watching April through the monitor] Look at her. She's so beautiful. On this monitor, she can't even tell I'm staring.

You do know that's not muted, right?

MMetalhead (Donnie)

Ahh! Of course. I mean, if it was muted, you couldn't hear me joking. [Smacks his head and presses a button on the controls. Metalhead's megaphone activates] Man, I hope she bought that.

That's the megaphone.

MMetalhead (Donnie)

[With the megaphone] I know![Turns megaphone off] So, how do you think the fight's going?

Donnie

BOOYAKASHA!

Sounds weird when he says it.

Sounds weird when YOU say it.

Nice job, bro!

Way to go, Donnie.

Yeah, not bad, except for that part where you built the thing in the first place, and the part where it broke, and the part where it tried to kill us, and the part-

Donnie

[exasperated] Okay, I get it!

[acting] Here I am, walking around in the big city, all alone! Oh, I sure hope no crazy pigeon man sneaks up on me! That would be the last thing I'd want!

Donnie

What are you doing?

You wanted me to be bait, I'm bait!

Donnie

That's not how bait talks!

How do you know how bait talks?

Donnie

I know bait doesn't talk back!

LRLeo, Raph and Mikey

Oooooooh!

Oh, no, you didn't!

You were all very lucky.

I think we define that word differently, Sensei.

He was just so fast.

Donnie

It was like he was everywhere at once.

You were right about us being overconfident, Sensei. There's just some things we're not ready for.

Perhaps, but that no longer matters. It is clear now that the Shredder is a problem that will not go away. So prepare yourselves, my sons, because as of this moment... we are at war.
