Season 3

Beneath These Streets

edit
[Splinter attacks the turtles and throws them around the lair]
Splinter: You are losing your fighting edge, my turtles. Were it Shredder who attacked you, he would not be so lenient.
Raphael: Aw, come on, Master Splinter, we already sent chrome-dome and Krang to the Earth's core.
Michelangelo: Yeah, right. Those dudes are totally dusted.
Splinter: Without positive proof, it would be unwise to assume that Shredder and Krang have been vanquished. Beyond that, may I remind you that you are still crime fighters, and that the streets of this city are still filled with crime. I suggest doing each ninja exercise twice. You obviously need the practice.
Leonardo: Well, you heard Master Splinter. Let's do it!

[Krang is scolding Shredder after another failed mission]

Krang: Shredder, you bungling idiot. I should've known better than to listen to you. And another thing....Wait, what are you doing? STOP!!!!

[Shredder rips a metal panel from the Technodrome wall and places it in front of Krang, covering him].

Shredder: Sometimes, I don't know who I detest more. The Turtles, or you?

Turtles on Trial

edit

Leonardo: Let's get him!
Turtles: Turtle power!
Michelangelo: Cowabunga!

[Krang calls Shredder just as he is about to defeat the Turtles.]

Krang: Come in, Shredder.
Shredder: What perfect timing. I'm just about to destroy the Turtles.
Krang: Oh no you don't. I want that pleasure to be all mine.
Shredder: What are you saying?
Krang: I'm saying let them go. I have the robot now and I intend to destroy them on national television.
Shredder: I won't, I won't, I won't.
Krang: You will, you will, you will. Or I'll come looking for you in this thing.

[Ends the call]

Shredder: You never let me have any fun.

Leonardo: You don't understand. We're trying to save the world from an invasion by an alien brain from Dimension X.
Clayton Kellerman: Oh come on, that's a little hard to swallow.
Raphael: What is? The invasion, the brain or the Dimension X?"

[The Turtles learn from Kellerman that he's going to keep badmouthing them in public despite them having just saved his life.]

Michaelangelo: Aw, man. What a scuzzbucket.
Donatello: [To April] Well, at least you still got the video tape of us tangling with Shredder.
Leonardo: Right. That'll prove we're not villains.
April O'Neil: Sorry guys, but my camera was totalled during the battle. [shows her camera , which has indeed been totalled.]
Donatello: Oh great. Our name's still mud in this city. [The turtles turn around disconsolant and start walking home.]
Michaelangelo: Total bummer, dudes.
Raphael: Some days it just doesn't pay to come out of your shell.

Attack of the 50-Foot Irma

edit

Irma: Please, April. Just one little cookie.
April: Forget it, Irma.
Irma: Ooh, oh, look. My favorite flavor of ice cream. Mm.

Irma: Thank you, turtles. I feel like such an overgrown klutz.
Leonardo: Now, Irma, it's not that bad.
Irma: Yes, it is. I'll never be normal again.
Michelangelo: Aw, lighten up, Irma. It's no biggie.
Irma: No biggie?! (cries)
Raphael: Oh, nice work, Michelangelo. You and your big mouth.
Irma: Big mouth!? Waah!
Donatello: Hey! Cut it out! I just had my shell turtle-waxed.
Irma: And I used to think it would be fun to be tall!
Raphael: No, Irma, don't!
Irma: Oops! I did it again.

Camera Bugged

Sky Turtles

April: What's going on?!

Shredder: [To the Turtles] You wretched reptiles. You'll pay for this.
Bebop: Yeah. And bring cash. We don't take plastic.

The Old Switcheroo

edit
(Pan into the Channel Six news stations while with the sounds like Irma sobs)
Irma: OHH!! Men are such beasts! [sobs]
April O'Neil: [pauses] Is it Eliot, the new fella you just met?
Irma: Don't never mention his name again!? His idea of a double date was showing up with another girlfriend!?
April O'Neil: ?
Mr. Thompson: APRIIIIIIIIIL, get in here!

Bebop: Say bye-bye ratso. Yaah!

Bebop: Huh, did you hear that?
Rocksteady: Hey. What's up? He's actually nice to you.

[The Turtles have just been beaten in a practice fight with Shredder whilst in Splinter's body.]

Raphael: Oh man. He whipped our shells, but good.
Leonardo: There's something strange. I know sensei's fighting style. And that wasn't it.
Donatello: Yeah. Do you know who it reminded me of?
Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Donatello, Raphael: SHREDDER

Four Musketurtles

edit
Mr. Thompson: [pauses; opens the door] April, Irma, get in here!
Both: Yes sir, Mr. Thompson? Coming!

Leonardo: Come, my comrades. There are wrongs to be righted, and damsels to be saved. And you Musketeers aren't even dressed.

[throws clothes towards Raphael, Donatello and Michaelangelo, who all catch them]

Donatello: Uh, my fault guys. I left the costumes that April sent over in Leonardo's room.
Raphael: Clever move, brainiac.
Master Splinter: Actually, Donatello did the right thing. You must humour him by putting on these costumes.
Michaelangelo: Pretend we're musketeers? Bogus dude.
Raphael: Look, I'd give Leonardo the shell off my back, ok? But I am not wearing lace with feathers and that's final.
Donatello: Same here.
Michaelangelo: Ditto.

[They are now dressed in the costumes]].

Raphael: I feel pretty stupid.
Donatello: Same here.
Michaelangelo: Ditto.

April: Okay, Irma! Let's roll!
Irma: So, what did you find out?
April: I think Burne’s exaggerating. I didn't see a single rat. [Rats chew holes in the tires on the news van] I'm entitled to my opinion. You don't have to hiss at me.
Irma: Who's hissing? I agree with you. Oh, no! Two flat tires.
April: Make that four flat tires.

Raphael: Hey, Donatello, I thought you fixed this.
Donatello: Whoa! I did, and now it's fixing us!
Leonardo: I'll handle this!
Raphael: This beats everything. Now what are we gonna have for dinner?

Leonardo: Surrender, Shredder.
Shredder: Say cheese, shellback. [grabs Rat King's pizza]

Leonardo: Did you hiccup?!

April: Not a chance, Shredder!
Shredder: As your wish.

Master Splinter: As for you, April, I hope this has taught you a lesson.
April: It certainly has. I learned that a disguise is a great way to get a story. There's a convention of bald-headed diplomats in town next week. Maybe I could pass as one of them?

[She puts on a white skull cap, making her look bald.]

April: Well, what do you think?
Raphael: Paint that thing green and you could pass as one of us.

Raphael: April, can I have a glass of water?
Donatello: Could you get me another blanket?
Michelangelo: Tell me a story.
April: Ah, for a bunch of heroes on the half shell, they can be real babies!

Leonardo: What is it?
Donatello: He looks like a giant turtle.
Splinter: Be careful, my students. You are pitted against a superior fighting machine.
Raphael: That doesn't scare us.
Metalhead: I am Metalhead. I crush turtles.
Raphael: Now, that scares us.

Irma: Oh boy! You've come to rescue me! Now I can go on my date.
Turtles: Shh! Quiet.
Shredder: The turtles! Get them!

Raphael: Perhaps in the sewers to the pizza--
Rocksteady: We do now!

Donatello: Astonishing.
Raphael: Not bad. Maybe now it's safe to order out for some pizzas.
Shredder: No need, dudes. I brought back some takeout. So, like, let's get down and pig out.
Leonardo: It's Shredder!

April: Turtles, what are you doing here?
Shredder: Hey, babe! What's going down in this here town?
April: [gasps] I don't believe it. That's Shred-

Donatello: Wow, way to go, Wolfman.

Casey Jones: Outlaw Hero

edit

[The Turtles have just fought Casey Jones and he has escaped.]

Raphael: That guy's seen too many Filthy Harry movies.
Leonardo: Come on. We better stop him.
Raphael: Why us? Let the cops handle him.
Donatello: Think, Raphael. He pops in and out of the sewers. He fights crime. He knows Kung Fu.
Raphael: In other words, people are gonna think he's us.
Leonardo: Now do you see why we have to stop him?
Michaelangelo: Yeah. Our reptile reputations will get a bad rap.

[Raphael throws his sai into April's camera whilst it is acting up alongside her scooter.]

Raphael: Say cheese, cheeseball.
April: Turtles. Oh, thank goodness you're here.

[Raphael jumps on the scooter whilst it is in motion and removes his sai from the camera just before it throws him off.]

Raphael: Has your camera always acted like that?
April: It's like it suddenly had a mind of its own. And worse, my scooter drove off by itself.
Donatello: We'll deal with that later. Right now, we gotta find that dipstick in the hockey mask.

Donatello: Well, so much for those bugs. And Krang's giant knucklehead.
Leonardo: And we couldn't have done it without you, Casey.
Michaelangelo: Yeah, you are truly.... [he turns around to see that Casey has left] ...gone.
Donatello: How do you like that? He didn't even say goodbye.
Leonardo: He was a strange guy. Reckless, dangerous, and totally violent.
Raphael: Yeah. I liked him too.
Leonardo: Somehow, I got the feeling he'll cross our paths again.
Casey Jones: [he has overheard the conversation from afar] Somehow, I got a feeling he's right.
