  Leonardo , Michaelangelo , Raphael , Donatello : COWABUNGA!

  Splinter : [laughs]  I made a funny!

• Thug : [of Raph]  What the hell was that?

  Thug : I - I don't know.

  Casey Jones : [jumps down next to them]  Now *that*, was a crime, you purse-grabbing pukes. And *this* is the penalty.

  Casey Jones : Hey, Bogey... who died and made you referee? You did your job, now get out of here and let me do mine, all right? These JV low lifes need to be taught a lesson.

• Splinter : Raphael, come sit by me.

  Raphael : Couldn't this wait 'til morning?

  Splinter : You will listen *now*. My Master Yoshi's first rule was "Possess the right thinking. Only then can one receive the gifts of strength, knowledge, and peace." I have tried to channel your anger, Raphael, but more remains. Anger clouds the mind. Turned inward, it is an unconquerable enemy. You are unique among your brothers, for you choose to face this enemy alone. But as you face it, do not forget them, and do not forget me. I am here, my son.

  [everyone laughs]

  [they pause, then burst out laughing] 

• [after Raphael gets a mention from April on the news] 

  Donatello : I think he's blushing.

  [runs back to Raphael] 

  Leonardo : You're gonna be ok Raph... you're gonna be ok!

  Raphael : Yeah, yeah, alright Leo! Get a grip, will ya?

  Leonardo : Listen, Raph...

  [helps Raphael to his feet] 

  Leonardo : -about what I said before... y'know... about not needing you and all?

  Raphael : Leo... don't.

  Leonardo : Boy, we missed you.

  Donatello : [he and April watch from the doorway]  It's a Kodak moment.

• Splinter : [Leonardo meditates heavily]  ... Leonardo.

  Leonardo : Huh? Splinter!

  Raphael : [inside playing a board game]  "What Russian novel, embraces more than 500 characters, is set in the Napoleotic wars?"

  Donatello : 'War and Peace'.

  Leonardo : [bursting in]  He's alive.

  Raphael : [Leo walks right on the board game]  Hey!

  Donatello : Game smash.

  Leonardo : Splinter's alive.

  Donatello : We know, Leo, of course he is. We all think he's alive.

  Leonardo : I don't *think*. I *know*.

  Donatello : Huh?

• [repeated line] 

  Raphael : Damn.

• Casey Jones : [Raph's hat has come off, revealing his face]  Hey, what are you, some sort of punker?

  Raphael : Huh?

  Casey Jones : [baiting]  God, I hate punkers... Especially bald ones with green make-up who wear... masks over ugly faces.

  Raphael : That's it.

  Casey Jones : [as Raph lunges]  Ooh.

  Raphael : New batter!

• [April discovers a sai] 

  Raphael : [watching]  Aw, man... damn!

• Leonardo : We have had our first battle, Master Splinter! They were many, but we kicked... but we fought well.

  Splinter : Were you seen?

  Leonardo : Uh-uh.

  Splinter : In this, you must never lapse. Even those who would be our allies, would not understand. Our domain is the shadow; stray from it reluctantly, for when you do, you must strike hard and fade away, without a trace.

  Raphael : I lost a sai!

  Splinter : Then, it is gone.

  Raphael : But I can get it back! I can get it back...

  Splinter : Raphael!... Let it go.

• Splinter : Yes, Oroku Saki, I know who you are. We met many years ago in the home of my master, Hamato Yoshi!

  [Shredder removes his mask to reveal his bite wounds] 

  Raphael : It's him...

  The Shredder : You... Now I will finish what I started with your EAR!

  [charges at Splinter] 

• Raphael : You guys must be studying the uh, abridged book of Ninja fighting.

  Raphael : I mean, come on, how do you guys expect to beat me?

  [more and more Foot Soldiers arrive] 

  Raphael : Good answer. Good answer!

• Raphael : So what do we do now?

  Leonardo : What do you mean, what do we do now?

  Raphael : Splinter's out there somewhere.

  Leonardo : I know Splinter's out there.

  Michaelangelo : [guessing what's about to happen]  Fight?

  Donatello : Fight.

  Michaelangelo : Kitchen?

  Donatello : Kitchen.

  Michaelangelo : Yeah.

  [both Michaelangelo and Donatello leave] 

  Raphael : So what are we gonna do about it?

  Leonardo : What CAN we do about it? April's our only link to these guys. We have to wait until she comes up with something.

  Raphael : Oh, so that's the plan from the "great leader", huh? Just sit here on our butts!

  Leonardo : I never said I was a great leader.

  Raphael : Well you sure act like it sometimes.

  Leonardo : Yeah? Well, you act like a JERK sometimes, you know that? And this attitude of yours isn't helping anything.

  Raphael : Yeah? Well, maybe I'll just take my attitude and LEAVE!

  Leonardo : Why don't you?

  Raphael : I will.

  Leonardo : Good!

  Raphael : Great!

  Leonardo : Go ahead! We don't need ya!

  Donatello : Pork rind.

  Raphael : Ugh. Where do they come up with this stuff?

• Raphael : I do hope there's more o' them.

• Raphael : Where's Splinter?

  The Shredder : Ah, the rat. So it has a name...

  [remembering his order to kill Splinter] 

  The Shredder : It HAD a name.

  Leonardo : [furiously pushes past the other turtles]  You LIE!

  The Shredder : Do I?

  The Shredder : [Leo lunges at Shredder, who trips him up with his spear and pins him to the ground]  He dies! Weapons!

• April O'Neil : [narrating]  The Turtles are four once again. And yet, still not whole. A lingering doubt remains. An unknown which they can't face: Their greatest fear.

  Raphael : SPLINTER!

• Michaelangelo : [after being beaten by the Shredder]  Now, exactly at what point... did we lose control here?

  Donatello : Maybe somebody ought to tell him that we're the good guys.

  Raphael : Any thoughts?

  Leonardo : I've only got one thought. This guy knows where Splinter is.
