Leo quotes from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)

Leo

He...He has to be alive, right?

April

I...I don't sense him at all. Maybe...maybe he's unconscious.

Donnie

That drop is at least a thousand feet down. Even he couldn't survive a fall like that.

Raph

So...what do we do!?

Karai

We take them all down! For Splinter!!

Casey

Everyone can relax. Casey Jones is here. So what's up? Why'd I get 127 emergency texts? The pizza delivery guy disappear?

April

No. Splinter disappeared. He fell down that huge chasm in the Undercity.

Casey

Whoa. That's deep, yo.

April

I definitely lost my mental connection with Splinter. But that doesn't mean he's gone. We can't give up hope.

Leo

We're going back there! We'll find Sensei, no matter who gets in our way!

Leonardo

Are you sure this is a good idea, Donnie?

April

Yeah. Last time you hooked me up to this thing, it made me blind and mentally connected to a giant fish-bird-worm thing.

Donatello

Don't worry. I've upgraded it since then. It's perfectly safe. I promise. Your psychic powers have been advancing rapidly since you were given that Aeon crystal. It's imperative I test its limits. For your own sake.

April

I have it under control. Besides if it weren't for my powers, we never would have gotten away from Super Shredder. You saw what I did to that mutated freak.

Leo

That's what worries us.

Donnie

I just need to examine your Crystal.

April

[firmly] No! I'm not taking it off! Don't even ask again, Donnie! It's safe as long as I have it!

Donnie

If I can replicate how this crystal increases your powers, that could provide a frame of reference–

Leo

Increase her powers?

Donnie

Don't worry. Only slightly by maybe .3%. April, let me know if you feel anything. OK? Tingling, headache.

April

I told you! I'm fine! Just leave the Crystal– AGHH!!

April

I'm so sorry. I guess I should have listened to you about the crystal. Especially you, Donnie. I'm sorry for...

Donnie

For what, reducing me to a quantum smear? Yeah. Still feel kind of whacked out of my head, but I'll be fine.

Splinter

I am impressed, April. You literally destroyed your demons.

Raph

She almost destroyed all of us.

Leo

What about your powers?

April

They were always part of me. I can't harness the great powers of the Aeons anymore, but I think I know how to control my powers better. [Thinking] So at least some good came out of this.

Casey

So, how's April doin'? I been worried about her.

Donnie

She's better. Still resting.

Leo

That crystal really messed her up. I'm worried there could be permanent damage.

Raph

So, you think she lost most of her psychic powers or what?

Donnie

Her powers have been greatly reduced, but she's still far more powerful than she was before acquiring the Crystal. It's hard to say until I test her again.

Mikey

Dada, Raph. Way to stare down a giant space monster, dude.

Raph

Don't call Chompy's mom a space monster!

Donnie

Hey, I'm just glad she's back in space.

Leo

No doubt. One wrong sneeze, and she would've wiped out all humanity.

Splinter

Raphael, have you thought of what will happen when Chompy grows to full size? The Earth may not be big enough to contain him.

Raphael

I think Chompy is destined to return to the stars one day. But it's gonna be a long time before that happens.

Alopex

Believe me, you won’t. [Is lifted off the ground by April's telekinetic hold] What is going on?

April

That's what we wanna know! Talk!?

Alopex

I'm on a mission to destroy the one mutant who ruined my life: Tiger Claw, my brother!

Casey

Oh snap!

Mikey

Brother?

Alopex

It is his fault we were mutated and then he turned us to a life of crime! He made me do terrible things to people.

Leo

Alopex, our sensei once told us: "Revenge just leads to more pain."

Alopex

I want my brother to feel that pain! With these blades, I'll take more than his tail!

Casey

We're not your enemy, Alopex. Please. Help me lift the curse.

Alopex

The only way is to use the blades against me or destroy the steel! But until I have my revenge on my brother, that will not happen!!

Leo

Master Splinter, you've been kind of distant the past few days. You've been meditating nonstop, and you're barely sleeping. Are you OK?

Splinter

Leonardo, please. Let us not talk about me. Let us talk about you. Do you know why you are the leader of this team?

Leo

Um, yeah. Because I asked to be. You said it wasn't because of my skills.

Splinter

I said that only to temper your ego at the time. I knew even when you were a small boy, that you would one day grow up to the leader of this team. And when I pass on, to be like a father as well.

Leo

"Pass on"? What are you talking about, Sensei?

Splinter

Leonardo, if I can only impart one piece of wisdom that will remain with you forever: Remember, giving guidance to your brothers' and friends doesn't come here. It comes from here.

Leo

I don't get it. You're fine, Father. Is there something you're not telling me?

Mikey

Hey, Leo, wanna go visit Karai? Party at the Mutanimals crib, yo.

Raph

And you can come, too, Sensei.

Splinter

Hmm. Perhaps I do need to get out of the sewers for a time.

Raph

Yes! You did it, Sensei. (I did it!) [Splinter smiles at his son and April]

Splinter

[latest words] My family. (I did it, turtles. I did it.) [Just as he, Donnie and Mikey arrive in their truck, Leo looks through a telescope at something while Super Shredder is alive with escaped and screams in horror. April notices Super Shredder behind Splinter]

April

Oh, no. Splinter! (No! Don’t throw the Master Splinter!) [Splinter turns and his eyes widen. Super Shredder escaped and stabs his blades through the rat's torso]

Raph

FATHER!!

April

SPLINTER!! [Splinter groans in pain as Super Shredder holds him up]

And now, Hamato Yoshi… DIES!!!!!!! [He throws him off the roof! In slow-motion, Splinter plummets to the ground as Raph and April watch in shock and Alopex chops to Super Shredder's two arms and screams. Leo, Donnie and Mikey run over as they screams. Splinter lands on the pavement]

So, this is so event. Super Shredder throws Splinter high in the sky. You know, they were too have say New York City, perhaps I have to stop him.

Leo

NO!! [The Turtles run over to Splinter's motionless body as Super Shredder screams. Leo cradles his head] Father. Father.

[after killing Master Splinter] I have stupid claimed my victorie and I lost in two arms and what has done with Tiger Claw, or I will kill myself. No more will you haunt me, rat while that was my favorite two arms, my Tiger Claw's one disarm and It’s all Alopex's fault for hurting Tiger Claw. [Tiger Claw: This is all Super Shredder's fault for Master Splinter's falling!] My fault?! It’s my fault?! THIS IS SO UNFAIR! [April: You know what, Super Shredder, WHAT HAS DONE WITH MASTER SPLINTER!] [?] AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!

Leonardo. [Leo gasps, revealing that it was Splinter's Spirit.] Do not fear me, my son.

Leo

Sensei, is it really you or am I... dreaming this?

You are not dreaming. I have attained a higher spiritual plane of existence. Passing into death, we merge with the whole of life. We become one with nature, in all of the universe. Even with you.

Leo

I can't go on without you, Father.

You must, Leonardo. You are the sensei now. Your brothers need you. Karai needs you. Shredder is still alive.

Leo

What!?

You must end this, Leonardo.

Leo

I don't know if we're strong enough, Sensei. Sensei?

Leo

You killed him! He was your brother, and you killed him! He was your brother, Saki! Your best friend! How could you do that?!

[latest words; ?] Random

[?] Leonardo, [Long pause] fear nothing. [?]

Leo

[after killing Super Shredder and Master Splinter too] Shredder... is finished. Not you, Master Splinter.

Leo

Karai, I'm so sorry.

Karai

There's nothing to be sorry about, Leo. I just want to thank you for finishing what no one else could.

Raph

You did it, brother! You ended the Shredder!

Leo

Whoa, Raph. Don't squeeze me so hard, Raph. I'm still recovering.

Donnie

So, what are gonna do next?

April

Oh, I'm sure they'll be plenty of enemies to take Shredder's place.

Casey

Tiger Claw is still out there. The Foot clan isn't out of the game yet, dudes.

Mikey

Whatever evil emerges, we'll be ready... 'casue we're awesome.

Leo

That's right, Mikey, and we'll do it together. Right, Sensei?

Do not be sad, my son.

Leo

Father.

Leonardo, I know you feel the weight of leading your family. But, remember: I am always with you.

Leo

Sensei, we're facing something we never encountered before. And I can sense something really bad on the horizon. What can I do?

Find the light within. It is the only thing that can save you against these creatures of darkness. These beings are not what they appear to be.

Leo

Then what are they?

Donnie

What are what? Who are you taking to, Leo?

Leo

It was... no one. Come on, let's head out.

Leo

April is this Kavaxas the new leader of the Foot?

April

I don't think so. I did sense that Tiger Claw summoned him because he's crucial to his plans, whatever they are. That's all I could get.

Mikey

I wonder what they're really up to.

You couldn't defeat me yourself, so you employed your freaks to fight for you!

Leo

What's he talking about, Karai?

Did my old student not tell you the story of poor Hattori Tatsu? I was born blind but with an acute sense of hearing. They say it me gave a sixth sense.

Mikey

Plan blackout was definitely not the way to go, dudes.

Shredder recognized this as a rare ability when all others mocked me. I used that prejudice in my favor until I became Shredder's right-hand: the Blind Swordsman. When this brat recruited Foot soldiers of her own, they attempted to eliminate me.

Leo

You did what?

Karai

Tatsu, I was arrogant but they have nothing to do with that.

Do not insult me with you platitudes, girl! Your friends will share your fate.
