Quotes 

• Splinter : Not only did Raphael alert the Kraang, but you got caught on VIDEO!

  Raphael : Sensei, he was the angriest, nastiest guy you ever met!

  Michelangelo : Except for you!

  [Raph wallops Mikey] 

  Raphael : You should have heard the insults this guy was throwing at us! They were so... insulting!

  Splinter : Oh, I did not realize he said mean things. Of course, you had no choice but to jeopardize your mission!

  Michelangelo : Burn...

• [Splinter sets up Raph to be surrounded by his brothers, who point arrows at him] 

  Splinter : Evade the arrows!

  Raphael : No problem!

  [does so with no problem] 

  Splinter : Again! Only this time... Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo, insult Raphael.

  Donatello : Wait. Insult... HIM?

  Splinter : Yes.

  Donatello : And he can't fight back?

  Splinter : No.

  Donatello : [grins at Leo]  I'm feeling good about this plan.

  [this time, Raph is peppered with arrows] 

• Raphael : Who does Leo think he is? So what if I got a temper? I'm still the best fighter we got - in fact if anything, my anger makes me a better fighter! You understand me, don't you, Spike? Chew on your leaf if you understand me.

  [Spike chews on leaf] 

  Raphael : Yeah, I thought so.

  Splinter : [enters]  I understand you, too.

  Raphael : Seriously, you gotta knock or something!

  Splinter : Raphael, let me tell you a story.

  Raphael : Sensei, I'm not really in the mood for a story.

  Splinter : Spike, chew on your leaf if you are in the mood for a story.

  [Spike chews on leaf] 

  Splinter : Very well. When I was a young man, I fell in love with a woman...

  Raphael : [gets up from his chair]  Oh, is it that late already?

  Splinter : SIT!... Her name was Tang Shen. And I was not the only man who loved her. There was another competing for her attention: Oroku Saki.

  Raphael : Shredder...

  Splinter : One day, he insulted me in front of her. He called me many things. I felt I could not let those insults go unanswered. I lost my temper. And over time, our rivalry festered into hatred. Until Shredder sought to finish me off... and I lost my beloved Tang Shen.

  Raphael : But... but it wasn't your fault. Shredder insulted you... you had no choice!

  Splinter : No choice? I could have chosen to ignore him. I could have chosen to let his words wash over me like a river over stone. But I let him anger me. It was I who made his words into weapons... That's the choice I made. What choice will YOU make?

• [sees Vic's mutated form for the first time] 

  Raphael : Wow, I didn't think this guy couldn't get any uglier!

• Vic : Which one of you slimy green ham shanks busted my satellite dish?

  Raphael : HAM SHANKS?

  Donatello : I don't know what that means.

  Raphael : Me neither... but I don't like it!

  [goes for Vic] 

• Vic : That's some kung fu, frog!

  Raphael : We're not kung fu frogs... we're ninja turtles!

• Raphael : Like a river over stone...

  [blocks out Vic's taunts]
