Leonardo quotes from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)

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...

Shredder

Your skills are impressive. But they will not save you.

Donatello

Oh, man. You think that's the Shredder?

Raphael

Well, it's definitely a Shredder.

Shredder

There is undoubtedly a fascinating story as to how my old nemesis came to teach ninjitsu to four mutant turtles. Perhaps I will let one of you live long enough to tell it.

Leonardo

You're gonna have to catch us first! Mikey!?

Mikey

So long, sucker!

Leonardo

What? Hey, what are you doing?!

Raphael

Oh sorry, it was Spike's idea. He said Space Heroes is too stupid for him.

Leonardo

That's saying something, considering he hangs out with you all day.

Raphael

Oh, nice going, Leo. You made him angry, so I'm gonna mop the floor with your face!

Leonardo

Alright, Raph, cool off.

Michelangelo

I can help with that! [throws a water balloon at Raph's face, splashing him with water] Dr. Prankenstein strikes again!

Michelangelo

Dude, you should see your face right now. You look so mad!

Raphael

Okay, Spike, you'll like this show. It's called "Does Mikey Bend that Way?"! [chases Mikey as he screams] Come here, you!

Leonardo

Mikey! Throw the water balloon!

Michelangelo

Uh, what water balloon?

Leonardo

The one you were gonna hit me with!

Michelangelo

[looks at the water balloon behind his back] Dude, you are good. [Throws the water balloon, Leo and Mikey take cover, and the van explodes in seconds.]

Leonardo

Nice shot, M - [Gets hit by Mikey's water balloon.]

Michelangelo

Doctor Prankenstein for the win!

Leonardo

You had two? Where do you keep them?

Leonardo

Look, guys, Raph and I may be better fighters, but you´re still an important part of this team.

Donatello

[annoyed] As important as you two?

Leo

Humm... Very important. We shouldn't compare ourselves. It's like apples and oranges.

Raphael

[Muttering] Yeah, if apples were way better, which they are.

Don

So, the truth comes out.

Michelangelo

You guys think of us as some kind of... B Team!

Raph

Good one, Dr. Namenstein. We'll call you "The B Team"!

Mikey

Thanks. I mean, hey!

Leonardo

We are not taking that monster home with us!

Michelangelo

He's not a monster! He's a giant, Kraang-crushing, mutant alligator monster! [realizes what he just said] I just said "monster", didn't I?

Yeah.

Mikey

Well, you know what I meant!

Raph

I thought you meant "monster".

Donatello

Yeah.

Leo

Mm-hm.

Karai

You always talk to yourself?

Leonardo

Sometimes I'm the only one who'll listen.

Karai

I'll listen...when you beg for your life.

Leonardo

Let's see how well you do against someone who can see.

Karai

Let's see how you do against someone who's better than you.

Leonardo

Let's see how you do against- Let's just go!

Leonardo

Judikai-interesting.

Karai

Kojokiri- predictable.

Karai

You're good. No wonder we haven't wiped you out yet.

Leonardo

It's not like Shredder hasn't been trying.

Karai

I know. It's all he ever talks about! Revenge, revenge. Vendetta, vendetta.

Leonardo

Really. I take it you don't approve.

Karai

No, I'm fine with it. I'm just saying, he needs a hobby.

Raphael

Glad you came to your senses, bro.

Leonardo

You're right. I don't know what I was thinking.

Raphael

I can see why you think she's hot...in an evil kind of way.

Leonardo

Don't worry. I am so over that.

Karai

I thought you were better than this! I thought you were my friend! How could you betray me! You're just as shortsighted and obsessed as Shredder!!

Leonardo

You said yourself how bad Shredder is! Why are you protecting him!? You said he drives you crazy!

Karai

He drives me crazy because he's my father!

Leonardo

Your father!? Shredder is your father? You're Shredder's daughter?

Leo

We gotta stop that thing!

Karai

Our deal's off! You want a feud? You got one!

Donatello

Leo, it's not that bad. You blew up the Kraang ship.

Leonardo

[dejected] But I also blew our chance to get Karai on our side.

Raph

Look, she's Shredder's daughter! His blood! She was never gonna be on our side!

Leo

Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe I just was believing what I wanted to.

Mikey

I've been there, dude. For me, it was leprechauns.

Leo

Are you seriously comparing what I am going through to the time you found out leprechauns aren't real?

Mikey

Leprechauns aren't real!?

Leonardo

It seems like you been avoiding us lately, April.

April

It's not my fault. Dad's alien abduction nightmares are getting worse. He barely let's me out of the house.

I'm sorry, April. It's just... What if the Kraang are still out there? I'll do anything to protect you.

Karai

You know, I bet I'd make a small fortune if I sold you to a science lab. Could you imagine the press? "Talking Ninja Turtle found in sewer."

Leonardo

Great. Captured and now totally humiliated. Awesome day, Leo. Awesome day.

Karai

You deserve everything you're getting, Leo! After you betrayed me last time!

Karai

Don't you love it? My new robotic Foot Bots follow my orders to a "T." No arguing, no prodding. They do whatever I want. Cool, right?

Leonardo

Yeah, convenient. Nice.

Karai

I've been teaching the Foot Bots new skills, but now I'm turning the training over to someone new.

Karai

Footbots, de-shell him!

Leonardo

I'm sorry to bother you, Master Splinter. I need to ask you some questions- about Karai.

Splinter

It is late, Leonardo. These questions will have to wait for another time.

Leonardo

She said you took her mother away from her. I know it's not true, right?

Splinter

No. It is not true. But the truth is just as difficult.

Leonardo

Please, sensei, tell me. Trust me.

Splinter

Karai... is my daughter.

Leonardo

Donnie, you gotta turn off his A.I.

Donatello

Turn off his A.I.? That's like turning off his brain!

Leonardo

He's too dangerous.
