Turtle Tracks

Enter The Shredder

Shredder: I must congratulate you. [enters to meet the turtles]

Donatello: It's the same guy we fought last night

Shredder: You passed the test with flying colors.

Raphael: Test? What test?

Shredder: Your hairy little friend knows me as Oroku Saki, but you may call me "The Shredder".

Raphael: A kitchen utensil?

---

Shredder: You would be wise to lose your flippant ways if you wish to join the honorable Foot Clan.

Leonardo: Why should we want to do that?

Shredder: Because it was I who made you what you are today. If not for me, Hamato Yoshi would never have left Japan. I followed him to this country, where I gained my advanced technology, including my rare experimental mutagen. It was I who caused you to mutate into your humanoid form. You owe everything to me! Don't deny your destiny. Join me.

Raphael: Does the phrase "go suck a lemon" hold any meaning to you?

A Thing About Mouser

Hot Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X

[Bebop and Rocksteady[*] are fighting Krang's stone warriors]

Shredder Stop, stop! STOP!!!

[Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang's stone warriors stop firing]

Rocksteady Oh we was starting to have fun.

Shredder Shut up! You are Krang's stone warriors are you not?

General Tragg Yeah. So?

Shredder There is something I must show you.

General Tragg We gonna catch those kids.

---

April You got 'em! Who are they? Let's interrogate them!

Michelangelo It's okay April, they're cool.

Dask Cool? Daddio, we are frozen!

Footnote: Bebop and Rocksteady were two street punks who like the TMNT were mutated into a Wart Hog-human and a Rhino-human They serve as Comic relief as bungling henchmen to Shredder. Example: When Krang realizes that a disaster could only have been caused by "Bungling Idiots" "...Bungling Idiots? Bebop!!!! Rocksteady!!!"

Shredded & Splintered

Krang: Now, wretched reptiles, you will face... the wrath of Krang!

Michelangelo: Wasn't that the name of a movie?

Leonardo: I don't believe I saw it.

Raphael: [re: Krang] And I don't believe I'm seeing this!

Michelangelo: Yum! Peanut butter and jelly!

Leonardo: Come on, Michelangelo! Think healthy for a change! You had peanut butter and jelly on your pizza last night!

Michelangelo: No way, dude! I had chocolate chips and caramel fudge!

---

Shredder: Krang! Where is my army, and my Technodrome, and all my weapons?

Krang: You failed to defeat those miserable turtles and their teacher, Splinter, with my help! Now you must destroy them on your own! I will never give you another speck of aid, until you prove worthy of it!

---

April: I don't believe it! It looks like World War 11! Roll tape, fellas! We've got a story that's going to knock the boss's socks off!

---
