April quotes from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)

April

Come on, Irma!

April

I'll never forget the night we left New York City. The Kraang defeated us, Leo got badly hurt, Master Splinter is...gone. We lost. We had nowhere left to go, so we came to old farmhouse I grew up in, miles away from the city; a place we could all be safe in. The first thing we did was take care of poor Leonardo. Raphael keeps a constant visual over Leo, waiting for him to wake up. Michelangelo goofs around a lot, but he does a ton of chores around the house. But mostly he goofs around a lot. Donatello built a lab in the barn, trying to create a mutagentic medicine to heal Leo. And then there's me, April O'Neil. I spend most of my time training with the Turtles, and writing in my ever-expanding journal. I miss New York, my sensei, my dad. Hopefully Leo will recover and we can all go home soon, if there's even a home to go back to. But life, as Master Splinter would say, must continue on.

April

Uh oh. I know why it took them too. I feel really hungry. Like Mikey hungry.

April

Hold your breath, guys! [Uses her acquired extraordinarily strong psionic abilities to call forth the Fugitoid's spacecraft]

Donnie

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

April

You do know that's not muted, right?

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.

April

That's the megaphone.

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

April

Careful, Donnie, that's a dangerous mutant!

Donatello

That makes two of us!

Splinter

April, it seems you have a rare gift - a sensitivity I have trained my entire life to develop. I would like to train you to be a kunoichi, a female ninja.

April

Wow. That's quite an honor. If I do this, does that mean I can kick everybody's butt?

Splinter

We do not believe in using our abilities that way.

April

Oh, sure. But I could, right?

Splinter

Yes. But it will the most difficult challenge you have ever faced. It will drain you physically, mentally and spiritually.

April

Can't be worse than high school.

Donatello

Are you saying turtles are slow?

Michelangelo

That's a hurtful stereotype.

Leonardo

Trust us, April, we are better keeping a low profile. We figured out people treat us better if they don't know we exist.

April

Sorry, I'm just so excited to finally get you out of the sewer for a change.

Raphael

What are you talking about? We go out all the time.

April

Yeah, but tonight you're gonna do something besides hitting people.

Raph

[disappointed] Aw...

April

Don't worry. You're going to love this noodle place I found.

Don

[nervous] And you're sure we'll be welcome?

April

Oh, yeah, Mr. Murakami doesn't care what you look like. In fact, he won't even know what you look like. He's blind.

Mikey

Awesome! [Raph slaps him] I mean, for us, obviously.

April

[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?

April

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

Donnie

That's not how bait talks!

April

How do you know how bait talks?

Donnie

I know bait doesn't talk back!

Oooooooh!

Mikey

Oh, no, you didn't!

Mikey

So...

Don

We're thinking somebody should start talking!

Leo

I should have told you about Karai sooner, but I really thought there was a chance she would be good. And I guess I... sort of liked her. Go ahead, laugh.

Mikey

Dude, I can't believe you trusted her.

Donnie

I can't believe you didn't trust us enough to tell us.

Leo

I was wrong, I'm really sorry.

April

I tried to warn him.

Raph

You too, huh?

Splinter

I had intended to one day pass this on to my daughter. But I would like you to have it.

April

It's beautiful.

Splinter

Yes. And...

April

I think we found my weapon.

Karai

What makes you so special!!? You're the center of an alien conspiracy, protected by mutants, and trained by a great ninja master!! Why!!

April

I don't know!! I'm flunking trig! My friends are mutants! Aliens got my dad! And I lost my mother!

Karai

What? You lost your mother?

April

[recalls what Splinter had told her about unbalancing her opponent] AHHH!! [Flips Karai down the subway steps] Not bad for a nobody.

Karai

Hey, there, Princess. Miss me?

April

Yeah, actually. Last time I saw you, I forgot to give you this! [kicks Karai in the stomach]

Karai

You've done well. Now take the message to Splinter.

April

Dad, what are you doing?! Dad!? You brainwashed him!

Karai

I know. Pretty cool, right?

April

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

Splinter

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

Leo

What's wrong, sensei?

Splinter

I learned some things from the Shredder.

Leo

Like what?

Splinter

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.
