Leo quotes from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)

Splinter

You should be enjoying your victory. You did a great thing today, Leonardo. You saved everyone.

Leo

Not everyone. I tried to get Karai out of Shredder's control. I failed, sensei.

Splinter

We saved her once, Leonardo. Perhaps we can save her again. And now you show great gifts as a healer. Being at the edge of your life, led you to unleash a power that few martial artists can tap. I am proud of you, my son.

Raph

Give it up, Leo. It's been weeks since we last saw her. When she poisoned us!

Donnie

Yeah, Leo. If I can't find an antidote, we might have to let Karai go.

Leo

It's not that easy, Donnie. You should know.

Mikey

You're still hung up on April. Just a guess.

Leo

Sometimes you don't have a choice. You think about someone...a lot.

Mikey

Dudes, I'm never gonna have a crush on a girl! This Turtle is dedicated to one thing only: Ninja-ING!

I was raised in Fukuoka but my grandfather is Chinese. I moved here to be closer to Yoshi. I've heard yokai are always hungry. That's why I made a meal all kapas love.

Leo

Kapa? What's a kapa?

Turtle yokai. And your favorite food is cucumber. At least that's what the legend says.

Mikey

Cucumber? Little know fact: Our favorite food is pizza. Hook a turtle up.

My grandmother told a story about a kapa who appeared as a young girl was fetching water. The kapa terrified her, but the girl always brought cucumbers with her to ward off yokai. The kapa was so thankful, it told of a great hurricane that would devastate her village. It saved her people.

Raph

That's right! And we wanna save you, Tang Shen.

Donnie

Which is why we kapa have come to talk. We also bring you dire news.

Leo

You can't leave Hamato Yoshi. He's a good man. Oroku Saki is evil.

No. Saki is a good man.

Donnie

If you choose Oroku Saki, the world itself could be at risk. Take it from us, the kapa brothers.

Yoshi is too dedicated to ninjtisu to raise a family.

Michelangelo

That's not true. Splinter loves little Miwa. She's so cute.

I don't who I will choose. I must do what's right for my daughter.

Raphael

Follow your heart, Shen. You know who the better man is.

Please. Let me get you some more cucumbers.

Karai

Hello, Leonardo.

Leo

Karai?

Karai

Welcome to "the Courage Slayer." To save your brothers you'll have to face ninja blades as skilled as your own. Which isn't all that formidable, so I cranked up the speed to a hundred.

Donnie

What's wrong with him? Is he sick?

Raph

I'm starting to understand his backwards talk. His people, the Triceratons, need nitrogen to breathe.

Leo

And the part where he calls you Commander Zorg and does everything you say?

Raph

Well, we bonded over a mutual love of destruction.

April

Did that just happen?

Leo

The Earth, Splinter, everyone- everything.

Donnie

Gone. Lost in an endless gravitational pull of singularity.

Mikey

Holy pepperoni.

The Fugitoid

Watching your world fall into the singularity of a back hole is rather distressing. Can I offer you some coco?

Mikey

Dude, who are you?

The Fugitoid

My name is Professor Zayton Honeycutt and you, my friends, are about to embark on a wondrous adventure.

Casey

This is so METAL!!!

Donnie

This energy is really screwing up my readings.

Casey

[shoves past Donnie] So fix it, genius. I thought you were supposed to be the smart one.

Donnie

That's right, I am. Which clearly makes you the stupid one!

Mikey

Ha! That definitely makes Raph the angry one.

Raph

I'm clearly the handsome one. Here, check it out. I got something for you. [holds out his fist; Mikey hits Raph's fist with his own, only for him to smack his helmet] Ha! You're the gullible one.

Mikey

[shoves Raph] I'm tired of you picking on me! Ever since we were little, you've been giving me shell wedgies, wet willies, and reptile rug burns, and-

Leo

Mikey, Raph, enough! We're on a serious mission here. So stop it!

Fugitoid

Well, this isn't good. We're going around in circles.

Casey

[groans] We've been walking for miles, Donnie. That scanner's as useless as that gap in your teeth.

Donnie

Oh, let's not go back there, Casey. You know my gap is way more awesome than your gap.

Casey

My gap is way bigger than yours. You got a baby gap.

Mikey

Will you two cut it out? You're more annoying than Raph!

Raph

[furious] That's it!

Leo

Get off of him, man!

April

What are you doing? Professor, a little help?

Fugitoid

You must all stop! [holds up his hand] Don't make me smack you. You see this? This is my smacking hand. I'll use it!

Mikey

He's right, guys. What the heck is wrong with us?

Leo

Ho...

Raph

...ly...

Donnie

Chalupa!

Splinter

Back so soon? You just left to patrol the city.

Sensei! [hug Splinter]

Splinter

Is everything all right?

Leo

Definitely, Master Splinter. It's just so amazing to see you.

Leo

We'd like to know what's going on here, too.

Karai

Leo, calm down! The brain-worm that was controlling me is gone. I'm not your enemy.

Raph

Oh? So then why did your crazy friend attack us!?

Karai

It was only a test to see her skills. Shinigami's an old friend from Japan. She was never gonna hurt you.

Shinigami

At least not permanently.

April

[draws strength from her mystical Sol Star necklace] She's telling the truth. That brain-worm thing is gone. They're not after us. They're after...

Donnie

Shredder.

Raph

So, what's up with the head gear, Princess? Daddy issues?

Karai

I want to rebuild the Foot. Bring back honor to a clan that Shredder poisoned for almost two decades. And when I finish, I'll destroy Oroku Saki and his empire, once and for all.

Mikey

Life isn't about revenge, sis. Come back to the lair with us. Master Splinter would love to see you.

Karai

No. I have to carve out my own destiny.

Donatello

Fine. We're leaving.

April

First, I want my tanto back. Now!!

Karai

If you want it back, take it from her. I mean, shouldn't be hard for a kunoichi, right?

April

Fine by me. I wanted a rematch anyway.

Leo

Miss me?

Karai

You always have to make a dramatic entrance.

Shinigami

Look at it all!

Leo

There's millions here.

Karai

Shredder should have kept it somewhere a little more safe.

Shinigami

So what are going to do with it? Do you know how much cool stuff we can buy?

Raph

I'm tired of training with kid gloves. No one's pulling punches out there. Why should we do it in here? (Pushes Leo away)

Leo

Raph!

Splinter

Teishi, because you are brothers and your goal here is to train.

Raph

(groans) Sensei, why do you always stick up for Leo? I'm the only one who takes training seriously. The rest of 'em are just goofing off all the time.

Donnie

(mimics) "No one appreciates me." Back on the "Everyone loves Leo" routine? Get some new material, you big baby.

Mikey

(Laughs)

Leo

How many times has he quit the team now?

Donnie

Twenty-seven times.

Splinter

You have a brilliant mind, Donatello. Yet you see a fire and try to put it out with gasoline. You are growing up, my sons, and you must become more mature. One day I will not be around to remind you of your foibles.

Michelangelo

Is foible that dangly thing that hangs at the back of my throat?

Donatello

Foible means "weakness of character," shell brain!

Leonardo

Master, you've made it through the worst of the worst. And we're never gonna let-

Splinter

Everything isn't permanent, Leonardo. You cannot expect anything to last forever, even...family.

Donnie

Hey, where's Pigeon Pete?

Slash

We don't talk about Pigeon Pete.

Leo

So what brings the mighty Mutanimals?

Slash

We need your help, Turtles.

We just learned that the Feluchi twins have been engineering mutant-hunting weapons. I telepathically discovered that Don Visioso wants to take control of the city now that Shredder has vanished. And that the only thing standing between him and his true goals...

Leo

Is us.
