Quotes

 * Marven: They call it the Big Apple. Why? Barely looks appleish to me.

Rocksteady: Tremble before I.... Rocksteady.... and my comrade Bebop.

Debbie; A rhino with a military uniform. This is creepy. But a warthog with a mowahawk. Goofy.

Bebop: You're mocking me. I am gonna bust your head up.

(he fires an energy blast from his mowahawk_

Eliza; Way to go, Debbie.

(Rocksteady fires his laser-chaingun)

Darwin: It was a laser-chaingun. Oh, man.

Darwin: The rhino's a Soviet too. Man. (freakign as Rocksteady uses his hammer and sickle as well as his knuckle-dusters)

Debbie: This is freaky. A dog zombie and a carp with teeth as well as mechanical legs.

Debbie; Oh fantastic. A tiger-warrior. (freaked out by Tiger-Claw.

Nigel: What do you want

Tiger-Claw; You mst coe with us to the Shredder. He wishes to meet you.

Darwin: It might be the ugly warthog with the mowahawk. Or the rhino with the military outfit. Or the big dog-zombie. Or the piranha-cyborg. Or the tiger-poacher. Oh.

(he shivers and walks ....)

(the shadow moves to reveal.... Mikey)

(the two scream on eachother)

Eliza; Well this is new.

Darwin: YOU SCARED ME! Were you trying to give me a heart-attack!?! (shouting on Mikey for collding and startling him)

Mikey: Sorry, monkey.

Donnie; He's a chimp, a subspecies of apes. Humanity's closest coz.

Raphel: Huh? Zero screams.

Eliza; Why?

Mikey: We're mutants.

Eliza; So this is how yu're big. MOst turtles are small. And unabel to stand upright.

they stare .... shocked y the calmness)

Eliza; You. You look clam.

April Uh. Oh. You got me.

Debbie: So you new about them. And you neglected to tell us?!?

Casey: Busted.

April: Yep. Sorry. But we assumed you'd prejudice them as monsters to slaughter.

Eliz; Souls are more important to us than looks.

April; Such a lovley horse. (pets Marvin) And a lovely dog. (pets Irwin). And a smart chimp. (pets Darwin)

April: You went to a lost world where prehsotirc animals srvied. Wow. (looking on photos Eliza took).

Mondo Gecko and Mikey: AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

April: Impresive moves.

Elia: Thanks.

Splitner; You are a martial artist. A talente one. Strength, speed, grace, and agility. And a balance of brain and brawn too.

Renet: Wow. Eliza Thornberry herself. And Darwin and Marvin and Irwin. Heros of the wild.

Eliza: And you must be Renet> Mikey told me all about you.

Eliza; Raph. Stop accusign and prejduing Renet. Your arrogance coudl detory all. I thoguh you leanred it when it made some of the Shredder's monsters such as Rahzar, Rocksteady, Bebop, and the fish-mosnter.

Eliza; So the mutant we saw were humans. The carp was a South American street-thug, the dog was a ninja-for-hire, the tiger was a Japanese assassin, the rhino was a weapons dealer and a Soviet-descendant, and the warthog was an African thief. And there's a mad scientist turned to a housefly. This Shredder sure has quite a twisted psyche. Seems to'd chosen the creature forms for them based on their personalites. The carp fits the snappy bigmout, the dog fits the doggidly obediant and gruff man, the tiger fits the bloodthirsty warrior, the rhino fits the grumpy and aggresive man, the warthog fits the gruff and pig-headed man, and the houselfy fits the bug-brained scientist. Leonardo; Yes.

Eliza: Mosntrous when the monster we fight turns out to be of our species. (sickend by Shredder)

Mikey and Mondo Gecko: COWABUNGA!

Darwin: Really.

Nigel: So you're this Shredder.

Marianen: let us go.

Shreddr: Silence. I am king here. I give commands.

Shredder; Yoshi took my love and chidl.

Nigel; You lie to yourself. All because you were jealous. It's obvious.

Marianne; All over jealousy and arrogance.

Shrdder: Shut it.

(he slaps them)

Nigel: Those turtles and Yoshi are gonna get you. My daughter's gonna get to them.

Marianne: She woudl.

Shredder; Precisely.

Marianne; you're usign us to lure them to a trap.

Shredder; Yes. We shall captrue them. The lot shall suffer for their defiance. And Eliza shall tell me where this Lsot World you foudn is. When I fidn it, all the fauna shall be ours. Their DNA fused onto an army to conquer.

Nigel: You woud lsoe. The urtles and Yoshi would stop you! Your greed and arrogance would be your downfall.

Shredder; Take them to the lab! Prepare them for the trap.

Nigel: Debbie. Why do you try? I tried. This glass door is tough. Shredder thouhgt of everythign. A herd of wildebeest would be unable to break through it.

Debbie: I knew we shoulda avoided New York. Those monsters are gonna destroy us all. Let's crush the bug when he comes.

Nigel: If we do so, we'd be trapped. Only he and the other Foot members can open the door. We'd be locked up. Our only hope is Yoshi and the trutles show up. I hoep the trap fails.

Eliza; Shredder's going down for good.

The Shredder; You are gonna tell me your secret, Eliza Thornberry or your sister and pets die!

Eliza: On behalf of mutant kind... and on behalf of New York and Japan......... and on behalf of all the creatures you got the muto-forms from and whose good name you're mocking... I ask you to surrender.

Tiger-Claw: BAH! I sere the Shredder. His word is law. All who defy perish. So says Tiger Claw!

Rocksteady: o hilariou.

Bebop: Got it on camera.

Eliza; Raphel. To think I risked my lfie to hep a self-righteous, big-headed, ego-drive, arrogant jerk as you. I assuemd all four of you turtles were pure of heart. But boy ws I wrong about you. You;re just the sae as the Shredder.

(Raph loses it

Shredder; Yes. Gie to youar anger and destroy them.

Renet: Revnege would poison your heart. (slaps Rph to snap him otu)

Renet: Torro. Torro

(she waves her cape about)

Rocksteady charges and misses her)

Renet: Alloe.

Eliza; Good one. The angrier rhinos get, the more they lose their focus.

(Rocksteady fires his laser-chaingun)

Darwin: And the more they want to sa us. Yikes. Who gave this rhino a gun? SHEESH! I prefered them unarmed.

April: Oh. I get it. I;m American so you fear, as my people defeated yours during the Cold War, I might..... beat you.

(Rocksteady loses it and charges, but April dodges and casues him to colldie with Tiger-Claw)

Splinter: HHHHHHM!
