Leo quotes from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)

Let's trash the place.

Leo

Hold on, Raph. This is a recon mission. We go in there, find out what the Kraang are up to, and then we trash the place.

Fine. Wake me when we get to the trashing part.

I can't believe Mikey actually came through.

Leo

I can't believe he fired the Shellraiser cannon inside the lair.

I told you you should let me shoot it more often. [eats some pizza and burps; to Donnie] Pizza me.

No, I'm not gonna "pizza you".

I guess you're right. It's not like I did something incredibly brave and saved your life.

Leo

You did save our lives. But you also used my favorite comic book as TOILET PAPER!

Yeah, but I only did it so you'd chase me.

Leo

Well, it worked! [starts chasing Mikey]

WAIT! STOP!

Leo

MIKEY!

[Leo pounces on Mikey and beats him up]

I'M A HERO!

Leo

Why would Donnie try to rescue April's dad by himself?

Maybe because I told him he has no shot with April?

Leo

What? Why would you say that?

Because he has no shot with April!

Leo

Well, yeah, but you don't tell him that!

The heart's a soft muscle, man. A soft muscle. Squish.

Leo

What? There's a force field? [To Donnie] Why didn't you tell me?!

[Sarcastically] Well, because I wanted us to fail. [Beat] OBVIOUSLY I DIDN'T KNOW!!!

Sensei, I want to apologize for the way I spoke to you earlier.

No need. You spoke what was in your heart. I am just relieved you made it home safely.

Leo

What's wrong, sensei?

I learned some things from the Shredder.

Leo

Like what?

That is a story for another time, Leonardo. Tonight is for celebration. After all, it's not everyday you save the world from an alien invasion.

Can this night get any worse?!

Leo

Guys, I think that mutant was Mr. O'Neil.

How could you tell?

Leo

You see many giant, red-bearded, middle-aged bats running lately?

(Leo's right, boys.) We gotta go after her!

But what about all that mutagen? We got canisters spread all over the city!

Leo

It's gonna have to wait, Raph. April's dad comes first.

What the heck is this nonsense? It's terrible!

Terribly awesome! I found these old tapes in a dumpster.

Leo

Tapes?

Check it out.

Leo

Dude, this is awful. And you guys complained about Space Heroes.

Their lips don't even match what they're saying! I could NEVER watch a show this bad!

[Later, all four turtles are addicted to the show.]

So she's the princess of an entire planet? Cool!

Yep, and she also pilots the robot's left leg. She rules! But that scientist dude made the robot.

The story has such an intricate, layered plot. Four stars!

BBlip

[On TV] P-p-princess, I'd like to invite you for space dinner, if you please. Yes?

ZZee

What, I, date a weakling like you? [walks away] Not for 10,000 Zarkon crystals!

[Leo, Raph, and Mikey laugh.]

Donnie, that is so you and April, dude!

IT IS NOT! This show is lame, anyway. The plot makes zero sense! [heads into his lab] I'll be in the lab.

[after a stealth attack from Leo] What was that?

Leo

THAT, was a stealth attack. [eats pizza] And that is what we're gonna be doing in today's training session.

No fair! I couldn't see you coming!

That's why it's called 'stealth', genius.

Why would you eat a slice of pizza you found on the roof anyway?

Roof pizza is like one of my top ten favorite types of pizza.

[screams upon seeing his acne] WHAT THE-?! I'M A MUTANT!!!

Leo

Uh, he's just realizing that now?

View quote →

From what I could translate from the orb, it seems the Kraang are building some advanced heavy weaponry.

Leo

Any guess what it could be?

[raises his hand] Ooh! Lasers disguised as burritos! Yes! It all makes sense now.

It DOES make sense... you have the brain of an AVOCADO!

Leo

Alright, guys, stay focused. We find the weapon and we destroy it, and then we get Mexican... pizza.

It is very good to see you again, April.

I missed you, Master Splinter. I hope we can start training again soon.

Of course. [bows down] Whenever you wish.

[to the Turtles] I never got a chance to tell you guys that I'm sorry, for everything.

Leo

You're sorry? But we were the ones that screwed up.

It was an accident. And most importantly, you're my friends. I don't ever want to hold a grudge ever again.

What are you doing, Leo!? I was goin' for Mikey!

Leo

What part of "last Turtle standing" don't you understand!?

View quote →

This...doesn't seem possible.

What is it? What’s wrong?

Based on all the evidence I’ve clued from the lab, your cellular makeup is actually a morph-genetic blend of human and Kraang DNA.

Wait. Are you saying...?

You're not entirely human, April. That's why you have psychic powers. In fact, you are a half human, half alien-mutant.

LRLeo, Raph and April

A mutant!?

Oh, yeah! Welcome to the family!

(Leo is trying to meditate with Splinter, but cannot seem to focus.)

Leonardo?

Leo

[falls over in surprise] Sorry, Sensei. Can't seem to focus.

I noticed. What is it that troubles you, my son?

Leo

I keep having the same nightmare, Sensei - every night! I let the team down. They're dragged off into darkness and I'm powerless to help.

This is not uncommon. All leaders must face the fear of losing their team. I face this every time you and your brothers' leave the lair.

Casey

[runs into the lair, panting] Guys! April! Sewers! Hurry!

Casey, what's wrong?

Leo

Are the Foot bots back?

Casey

W-we were on our way here, and next thing I know April starts acting freaked out, then runs off! She's gone!

Wait, wait… You just lost April!?

Relax! I'm sure there's a logical explanation. Like she was eaten by a giant sewer snake, or something.

Let's go!
