Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) (season 1)
Seasons: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5: Tales of the TMNT | Main
The following is a list of quotes from the first season of the 2012 series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
- This marks the debut appearance of Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello and their master and father Splinter, April O'Neil, her father Kirby, and of course The Shredder the leader of the Foot Clan.
Part 1 [1.01]
[edit]- Splinter: [after Raphael wins a sparring contest] Yame! You all did very well.
- Raph: But I did better.
- Splinter: This is about self-improvement, Raphael, it is not about winning and losing.
- Raph: I know, sensei, but I won and they lost. [Splinter pinches a painful pressure point on his neck] Aah, aah, aah! But, what's really important is that we all did our best. GOOD JOB, EVERYONE!
- Splinter: Heh, heh, heh.
- Splinter: You were not fully prepared for what was up there. I trained you to fight as individuals, not as a team. And as your teacher, your father, the responsibility for that is mine. Perhaps in another year we can try again.
- Donnie: A another year!? Has everybody forgotten that people were kidnapped!? They don't have a year! Sensei, we have to do something now! You weren't there, Sensei. You didn’t see the way that girl looked into my eyes. She was scared and she's counting on me- I mean us- to save her.
- [Splinters turns to stare at the black-and-white picture of himself, his wife Tang Shen, and their infant daughter Miwa]
- Splinter: Yes. You must save her.
- Leo: I agree, Sensei, but in that fight we weren't actually a well-oiled machine.
- Mikey: Like that robot with the brain thingy.
- Raph: Give it a rest.
Part 2 [1.02]
[edit]- The Turtles: Whoa.
- Leo: So that's the...
- Donnie: ...Mutagen that turned us all into what we are now.
- Mikey: Let's drink some!
- Raph: What!? Why would you do that!?
- Mikey: 'Cause if you mutate a mutant, you get a super mutant!
- Donnie: Or a pile of goo on the sidewalk.
- Raph: Either way, it's an improvement.
- Leo: Guys, this is huge. Whoever kidnapped those people are somehow connected to what happened to us 15 years ago.
- Raph: [to his pet turtle Spike] I know you're a little worried about me. Look, I'm not gonna lie to you. We've never gone into a fight like this, and I don't know what's gonna happen. But you don't have to worry. I will make it back. I love you, man.
- [Raph then turns around in shock to see Mikey, who has heard his every word.]
- Mikey: Awww. Are you talking to your pet turtle?
- Raph: No! Shut up!
- Mikey: That's adorable!
- Raph: Oh, I'm gonna crush you! [chases Mikey with a wooden spoon] I'm gonna shellac you!
- Leo: There's so much riding on this. What if something goes wrong?
- Splinter: Failure is a possibility all leaders must face, Leonardo. It is something I had to face in Japan during my battle with my old enemy, the Shredder. Years ago, Oroku Saki, as Shredder was called then, had been my friend. But the love of a woman came between us. He could not accept it and his jealously turned outward in a vengeful attack. And although he could not defeat me that day, my world burned and crumbled around me, as the battle took the life of my beloved Tang Shen. And I lost my baby daughter, Miwa.
- Leo: But that's my point, Sensei. You lost everything.
- Splinter: I lost many things - my family, my home, my name. But I gained many things as well, like the 4 of you.
- Leo: Don't worry. We can handle this.
- [Just then, Mikey runs by with a metal pot on his head, screaming. Raph is still chasing him with a wooden spoon.]
- Raph: [angry] GET BACK HERE!
- [Leo and Splinter sigh.]
Turtle Temper [1.03]
[edit]- Splinter: [clearly not liking what he just heard] Not only did Raphael alert the Kraang, but you got caught... [glares at Raph] on video!
- Raph: [defensively] Sensei, he was the angriest, nastiest guy you ever met!
- Mikey: Except for you. [Raph slaps him] Ow!
- Raph: You should've heard the insults this guy was throwing at us. They were so... insulting!
- Splinter: [sarcastically; not buying this excuse] Oh, I did not realize he said mean things. Of course, you had no choice but to jeopardize your mission!
- Mikey: [mockingly] Burn. [Raph grits his teeth]
- Splinter: You are ninjas. You work in the shadows, in secret. This becomes difficult if there is proof of your existence in high definition!
- Raph: [trying to talk his way out of it] Look, we know where this guy lives. All we need to do is find him and shake him until the tape pops out.
- Donnie: Oh, there's no tape. Video phones use flash memory and-- [Raph growls like a bulldog in annoyance]
- Splinter: Anger is self-destructive.
- Raphael: [side commenting disrespectfully] I always thought it was... others-destructive.
- Splinter: [sternly; fed up with Raph's attitude and disrespect] Raphael! Stand up.
- Mikey: Somebody's in trouble~...
- Raph: Who does Leo think he is? So what if I got a temper? I’m still the best fighter we’ve 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] Yeah, I thought so.
- Splinter: [suddenly walks in] I understand you too.
- Raph: [scared out of his wits] Seriously, you gotta knock or something!
- Splinter: Raphael, let me tell you a story.
- Raph: [tiredly] Sensei, I'm not really in the mood for a story.
- Splinter: Spike, chew on your leaf if you're in the mood for a story. [Spike chews on his leaf] Very well. When I was a young man, I fell in love with a woman.
- Raph: [sarcastically; pretending to check the time] Oh, hey, is it that late already? [tries to leave]
- Splinter: [firmly] Sit! [Raph sits down in defeat and he continues] Her name was Tang Shen, and I was not the only one who loved her. There was another man competing for her attention, Oroku Saki.
- Raph: Shredder.
- Splinter: One day, he insulted me in front of her. He called me many things. I felt I couldn't let those insults go unanswered. I lost my temper, and over time, our rivalry festered into hatred. Until Shredder sought to finish me. And I lost my beloved Tang Shen.
- Raph: [lost for words; unsure of how to react] But... But it wasn't your fault. Shredder insulted you, you... You had no choice.
- Splinter: [through gritted teeth] "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. [shamefully] 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?
New Friend, Old Enemy [1.04]
[edit]- Mikey: I'm returning Mittens to her owner.
- Raph: Are you an idiot? Wait, let me rephrase that. You're an idiot!
- Donnie: You can't show yourself to a human.
- Mikey: Why not?
- Donnie: Because they'll freak the heck out, that's why not.
- Mikey: No they won't. I'm not so scary.
- Raph: You're an ugly, green mutant armed with ninja weapons.
- Mikey: Look, this guy is gonna see that I'm just a regular cat-loving dude like him. The next thing you know, we'll be best buds! This is gonna be awesome! [jumps down, despite his brother's protests, to the owner of the cat's balcony]
- Mikey: Hi! Here's your--
- Cat Owner: [screams in horror] Ugly, green mutant freak!
- Mikey: But I got your cat!
- Cat Owner: Help! He's got my cat!
- [Splinter sees Leo sweep Raph, giving him a flashback to when Shredder used that move on him. Cut back to reality]
- Splinter: Where did you learn that!?
- Leo: Mikey learned it from his new friend.
- Splinter: The man who taught him that kata is no friend! It comes from the Shredder.
- Donnie: Shredder?
- Leo: You mean Bradford is one of his students?
- Splinter: He must be!
- Leo: So Bradford's just pretending to be Mikey's friend to get to you!
- Raph: Oh, man. Everything makes sense again. [then realizes] Mikey's in trouble!
I Think His Name is Baxter Stockman [1.05]
[edit]- Splinter: [in disbelief] How many times have I told you not to skateboard in the lair?!
- Michelangelo: None, Sensei.
- Splinter: [annoyed] I shouldn't have to tell you!
- Splinter: And where have you been?
- Raph: Nowhere?
- Splinter: How did you get so hurt?
- Leo: Oh, that. Well, uh, we were...
- Raph: Hit...
- Donnie: By a...
- Mikey: Bus?
- Donnie: [whispers to Mikey] Hit by a bus?!
- Mikey: Well, what was I supposed to say, meteor, cow, flying building?!
- Mikey: Excuse me, Sensei, but ninjas never had to go up against guys in armor. [sees paintings, corrects himself] Oh, I mean ninjas always had to go up against guys in armor.
- Raph: Nice save.
- Leo: Sensei, what was their secret?
- Splinter: They understood that you do not fight the armor, you fight the man inside.
- Mikey: [Turtles stare at him who looks at them] Why are we all looking at each other?
Metalhead [1.06]
[edit]- [Splinter brings Donatello a new Bo-Staff]
- Raphael: Look, Spike. Donnie got a new stick to break.
- Don: With all due respect Sensei, I can't keep fighting alien technology with a six-foot staff. I was hoping to upgrade my weapon.
- Splinter: Hm... a seven foot staff. Interesting.
- Donnie: No, I meant using modern technology.
- Splinter: Ah, a solar-powered staff.
- Donnie: I'm serious, sensei.
- Splinter: I know. And yes you may upgrade your weapon.
- Donnie: That's totally unfair! You can't just--Did you just say yes?
- Splinter: Ninjas have improved their arsenal for decades. We are masters of adaptation.
- Donnie: [Watching April through the monitor] Look at her. She's so beautiful. On this monitor, she can't even tell I'm staring.
- April: You do know that's not muted, right?
- Metalhead (Donnie): Ahh! Of course. I mean, if it was muted, you couldn't hear me joking. [Smacks his head and presses a button on the controls. Metalhead's megaphone activates] Man, I hope she bought that.
- April: That's the megaphone.
- Metalhead (Donnie): [With the megaphone] I know![Turns megaphone off] So, how do you think the fight's going?
- Donnie: BOOYAKASHA!
- Mikey: Sounds weird when he says it.
- Raph: Sounds weird when YOU say it.
- Mikey: Nice job, bro!
- Leo: Way to go, Donnie.
- Raph: Yeah, not bad, except for that part where you built the thing in the first place, and the part where it broke, and the part where it tried to kill us, and the part-
- Donnie: [exasperated] Okay, I get it!
Monkey Brains [1.07]
[edit]- April: Careful, Donnie, that's a dangerous mutant!
- Donatello: That makes two of us!
- Splinter: April, it seems you have a rare gift - a sensitivity I have trained my entire life to develop. I would like to train you to be a kunoichi, a female ninja.
- April: Wow. That's quite an honor. If I do this, does that mean I can kick everybody's butt?
- Splinter: We do not believe in using our abilities that way.
- April: Oh, sure. But I could, right?
- Splinter: Yes. But it will the most difficult challenge you have ever faced. It will drain you physically, mentally and spiritually.
- April: Can't be worse than high school.
Never Say Xever [1.08]
[edit]- Donatello: Are you saying turtles are slow?
- Michelangelo: That's a hurtful stereotype.
- Leonardo: Trust us, April, we are better keeping a low profile. We figured out people treat us better if they don't know we exist.
- April: Sorry, I'm just so excited to finally get you out of the sewer for a change.
- Raphael: What are you talking about? We go out all the time.
- April: Yeah, but tonight you're gonna do something besides hitting people.
- Raph: [disappointed] Aw...
- Leo: Okay, he's strong, so speed and stealth are essential. Okay, everybody know the plan? [Raph and Donnie nod] Mikey?
- Mikey: Yes.
- Leo: Are you sure?
- Mikey: Yes.
- Leo: Tell me what it is.
- Mikey: [thinks for a moment] Um, maybe we should go over it one more time?
- April: Don't worry. You're going to love this noodle place I found.
- Don: [nervous] And you're sure we'll be welcome?
- April: Oh, yeah, Mr. Murakami doesn't care what you look like. In fact, he won't even know what you look like. He's blind.
- Mikey: Awesome! [Raph slaps him] I mean, for us, obviously.
The Gauntlet [1.09]
[edit]- April: [acting] Here I am, walking around in the big city, all alone! Oh, I sure hope no crazy pigeon man sneaks up on me! That would be the last thing I'd want!
- Donnie: What are you doing?
- April: You wanted me to be bait, I'm bait!
- Donnie: That's not how bait talks!
- April: How do you know how bait talks?
- Donnie: I know bait doesn't talk back!
- Leo, Raph and Mikey: Oooooooh!
- Mikey: Oh, no, you didn't!
- Shredder: Your skills are impressive. But they will not save you.
- Donatello: Oh, man. You think that's the Shredder?
- Raphael: Well, it's definitely a Shredder.
- Shredder: There is undoubtedly a fascinating story as to how my old nemesis came to teach ninjitsu to four mutant turtles. Perhaps I will let one of you live long enough to tell it.
- Leonardo: You're gonna have to catch us first! Mikey!?
- Mikey: So long, sucker!
- Splinter: You were all very lucky.
- Raph: I think we define that word differently, Sensei.
- Mikey: He was just so fast.
- Donnie: It was like he was everywhere at once.
- Leo: You were right about us being overconfident, Sensei. There's just some things we're not ready for.
- Splinter: Perhaps, but that no longer matters. It is clear now that the Shredder is a problem that will not go away. So prepare yourselves, my sons, because as of this moment... we are at war.
Panic in the Sewers [1.10]
[edit]- Donatello: [Panting, turns to Master Splinter] Sensei, can we rest for a sec?
- Splinter: Rest? Hm. The Shredder will not rest... until you are all dead!
- [Leo is watching Space Heroes. Just then, Raph turns the TV off with a shuriken.]
- Leonardo: What? Hey, what are you doing?!
- Raphael: Oh sorry, it was Spike's idea. He said Space Heroes is too stupid for him.
- Leonardo: That's saying something, considering he hangs out with you all day.
- Raphael: Oh, nice going, Leo. You made him angry, so I'm gonna mop the floor with your face!
- Leonardo: Alright, Raph, cool off.
- Michelangelo: I can help with that! [throws a water balloon at Raph's face, splashing him with water] Dr. Prankenstein strikes again!
- [Raph comes up to him, furious.]
- Michelangelo: Dude, you should see your face right now. You look so mad!
- Raphael: Okay, Spike, you'll like this show. It's called "Does Mikey Bend that Way?"! [chases Mikey as he screams] Come here, you!
- Leonardo: Mikey! Throw the water balloon!
- Michelangelo: Uh, what water balloon?
- Leonardo: The one you were gonna hit me with!
- Michelangelo: [looks at the water balloon behind his back] Dude, you are good. [Throws the water balloon, Leo and Mikey take cover, and the van explodes in seconds.]
- Leonardo: Nice shot, M - [Gets hit by Mikey's water balloon.]
- Michelangelo: Doctor Prankenstein for the win!
- Leonardo: You had two? Where do you keep them?
- Splinter: No training today... [the Turtles cheer] unless Michelangelo throws that balloon.
- [Raph, Donnie and Leo turn to see Mikey about to throw a water balloon. He laughs nervously.]
- Raph: You are so gonna get it!
- [Mikey's brothers tackle him to the ground, making him scream in agony]
Mousers Attack! [1.11]
[edit]- Leonardo: Look, guys, Raph and I may be better fighters, but you´re still an important part of this team.
- Donatello: [annoyed] As important as you two?
- [Leo and Raph look at each other.]
- Leo: Humm... Very important. We shouldn't compare ourselves. It's like apples and oranges.
- Raphael: [Muttering] Yeah, if apples were way better, which they are.
- Don: So, the truth comes out.
- Michelangelo: You guys think of us as some kind of... B Team!
- Raph: Good one, Dr. Namenstein. We'll call you "The B Team"!
- Mikey: Thanks. I mean, hey!
- Fishface: If I weren't stuck in here, I would have caught Splinter by now!
- Dogpound: But you are stuck in there. [starts tapping the glass in Fishface's fish tank, creating vibrations]
- Fishface: No-no-no-no! Stop that! Stop that! Ow! Ow! Stop it! Ow! Stop it!
- Dogpound: [laughs] I'm sure you'll have your chance to shine one of these days. Master Shredder might get hungry for sushi.
- Fishface: Why don't you get in the water and say that!
- Shredder: Enough, Xever! Bradford is right, you are useless to me this way! [to Dogpound] I'm counting on you, find me information I can use, or Xever won't be the only one missing his legs.
It Came From the Depths [1.12]
[edit]- Leonardo: We are not taking that monster home with us!
- Michelangelo: He's not a monster! He's a giant, Kraang-crushing, mutant alligator monster! [realizes what he just said] I just said "monster", didn't I?
- Raphael, Donatello and Leonardo: Yeah.
- Mikey: Well, you know what I meant!
- Raph: I thought you meant "monster".
- Donatello: Yeah.
- Leo: Mm-hm.
- Mikey: Hey, guys! Leatherhead is totally off the chain.
- Raph: You mean you set him free?!
- Mikey: No, off the chain means he's cool. [his brothers sigh in relief] And that's why I set him free. [his brothers gasp]
- [Leatherhead sits and smiles innocently as he holds the pot of soup]
- Donnie: You let that maniac loose?! Maybe you forgot that he grabbed me by the face. So I'll remind you: he grabbed me... BY THE FACE!!!
- Raph: Relax. You've been hurt worse since.
- Donnie: But we're still chaining him up, right?
- Splinter: Of course, I am compassionate, not insane.
I, Monster [1.13]
[edit]- Splinter: No, Leonardo. I am not. It seems your enemy, Dr. Victor Falco, has returned and he now calls himself "the Rat King." He will not stop until he has total control over every rat in the city...and my mind.
- Leo: Sensei?
- Splinter: Everything I knew is gone- my wife, my daughter, even my humanity. You four are all I have left.
- Leo: Mikey, poke him.
- Mikey: No way! I'm not poking him! You poke him!
- Leo: OK, we'll put it to a vote.
- Raph, Donnie and Leo: Mikey!
- Mikey: I want a re-count!
New Girl in Town [1.14]
[edit]- Raph: And the award for worst leader goes to-
- Leo: How am I the worst leader?
- Raph: If we did this my way, Snakeweed would be toast by now!
- Mikey: Ugh, that'd be some nasty toast.
- Leo: This way would've worked if you hadn't wasted time second-guessing my orders!
- Raph: Don't give bad orders, and I won't second-guess 'em!
- Leo: You know what, Raph? If you think you could do better, why don't you lead?
- Raph: First good idea you've had all day!
- [Both growl at each other. Mikey cuts in.]
- Mikey: We'll compromise. I'll lead.
- [Raph and Leo give him death glares. Mikey smiles sheepishy and steps away.]
- Leo: Fine, Raph, the team's yours. I'm out of here. [walks away]
- Mikey: I can't believe he's gone.
- Donnie: Aw, don't worry, Mikey. Leo... just needs some space. [Mikey gives him an annoyed look] You meant the pizza guy, didn't you?
- Mikey: Yeah.
- Karai: You always talk to yourself?
- Leonardo: Sometimes I'm the only one who'll listen.
- Karai: I'll listen...when you beg for your life.
- Leonardo: Let's see how well you do against someone who can see.
- Karai: Let's see how you do against someone who's better than you.
- Leonardo: Let's see how you do against- Let's just go!
- [The two start sparring playfully with their unique fighting styles]
- Leonardo: Judikai-interesting.
- Karai: Kojokiri- predictable.
- Karai: You're good. No wonder we haven't wiped you out yet.
- Leonardo: It's not like Shredder hasn't been trying.
- Karai: I know. It's all he ever talks about! Revenge, revenge. Vendetta, vendetta.
- Leonardo: Really. I take it you don't approve.
- Karai: No, I'm fine with it. I'm just saying, he needs a hobby.
The Alien Agenda [1.15]
[edit]- Donnie: [to Mikey] You feel like we're missing something?
- Mikey: All the time.
- Mikey: So...
- Don: We're thinking somebody should start talking!
- Leo: I should have told you about Karai sooner, but I really thought there was a chance she would be good. And I guess I... sort of liked her. Go ahead, laugh.
- Mikey: Dude, I can't believe you trusted her.
- Donnie: I can't believe you didn't trust us enough to tell us.
- Leo: I was wrong, I'm really sorry.
- April: I tried to warn him.
- Raph: You too, huh?
- Raphael: Glad you came to your senses, bro.
- Leonardo: You're right. I don't know what I was thinking.
- Raphael: I can see why you think she's hot...in an evil kind of way.
- Leonardo: Don't worry. I am so over that.
- [After Raph leaves, Leo looks dejected]
The Pulverizer [1.16]
[edit]- Donnie: You okay?
- Pulverizer: Uh, sure. [groans] You can survive with just one kidney, right?
- Raph: Great, first this doofus gets in the way of a good Purple Dragon stomping, and now he knows where our lair is.
- Pulverizer: Oh, no problem. I blacked out most of the way here.
- Donnie: How do you even know we exist?
- Pulverizer: Oh, I saw you months ago. [to Leo] You were like, "Let's finish this!" [to Raph] Oh, and you were like, all, "You're going down!" [to Mikey] And then you were, like, all, "Bees!" [to Donnie] Oh, and you were like... you were like the strong, silent type.
- Pulverizer: [notices some Kraang tech] Hey, what's this? [picks up the Kraang tech, Donnie snatches it back] That looks like the stuff those guys were stealing.
- Donnie: That's impossible. It's Kraang tech.
- Pulverizer: [puzzled] What- what's a "Kraang"?
- Raph: If we told you, we'd have to kill you. [pauses] You see, the Kraang are aliens from another dimension. [Leo elbows him to stop]
- [After Raph is bitten by Fishface]
- Michelangelo: Raph! [picks him up] Are you alright?
- Raphael: [woozily] I'm fine...[smiling] I love you.
- Michelangelo: HE'S NOT FINE!
- Michelangelo: [on the phone with Donnie] Donnie, we need help!! Raph's been bitten by a giant, poisonous, robotic fish!!
- Donatello: That's not possible! If he was bitten, then it's venom, not poison.
- Michelangelo: Interesting, interesting. GET OVER HERE!!
- Donatello: What are his symptoms?
- Michelangelo: He keeps telling me I'm the smartest guy he knows.
- Donatello: Okay, okay, he's delusional.
- [Raph, Leo and Mikey try to push the Shellraiser]
- Raph: Are you sure the parking brake's not on?
- Donnie: For the hundredth time, YES! [notices that the parking brake is on] Oh, wait. [turns it off] Sorry, guys! Try it now.
- Leo, Mikey and Raph: DONNIE!
TCRI [1.17]
[edit]- Donatello: I know I've seen this symbol; it's so familiar.
- Michelangelo: The Olympics!
- Don: No!
- Mikey: I got it! The Olympics!
- Donnie: Stop guessing! Obviously it's a Kraang signal.
- Leo: But from where?
- Mikey: The Olympics!
- Donnie: QUIT IT!!
- Donnie: It's beautiful. Uh, Scientifically speaking.
- Raph: Well, if you love it so much, why don't you marry it?
- Mikey: Do you, Donatello, take this portal to be your lawfully wedded....
- Leo: Knock it off!
Cockroach Terminator [1.18]
[edit]- Leo: Halt, Kraang!
- Kraang Droid: The halting of Kraang would not be what the turtles shall be doing to Kraang.
- Leo: Wrong! The halting of Kraang would be exactly what the turtles... Just halt!
- Mikey: Alright, Roachie, it's time to meet your maker!
- Donnie: Wait, isn't that me?
- Mikey: Exactly. Go get 'im, tiger!
- Raph: I'm sorry I tried to smash you, OK? I'm sorry. I've learned a very important lesson. I'll never be cruel again, just leave me alone!
- Mikey: On one condition.
- Raph: Aah! Anything!
- Mikey: Be good to Michelangelo!
- Raph: Aaghh! [realizes what he just heard] What?!
- Mikey: Let him read your comics once in a while.
- Raph: [turns to see Mikey] MIKEY!!!! [kicks his shell]
- Mikey: Ow! So much for learning your lesson.
Baxter's Gambit [1.19]
[edit]- Mikey: Hey, Baxtin!
- Baxter: It's Baxter.
- Mikey: I was wondering, what made you so interested in a career of super villainy?
- Baxter: Well, since you won't be around to read my autobiography, I'll tell you. I was a frail, and delicately sensitive young child.
- Dogpound: Well, there's a surprise.
- Splinter: I had intended to one day pass this on to my daughter. But I would like you to have it.
- April: It's beautiful.
- Splinter: Yes. And...
- [throws the Tessen fan at the Sacred Tree]
- April: I think we found my weapon.
Enemy of My Enemy [1.20]
[edit]- Karai: I thought you were better than this! I thought you were my friend! How could you betray me! You're just as shortsighted and obsessed as Shredder!!
- Leonardo: You said yourself how bad Shredder is! Why are you protecting him!? You said he drives you crazy!
- Karai: He drives me crazy because he's my father!
- Leonardo: Your father!? Shredder is your father? You're Shredder's daughter?
- [The Kraang ship flies closer]
- Leo: We gotta stop that thing!
- Karai: Our deal's off! You want a feud? You got one!
- Raph: Hey, the stealth bike's my thing!
- Leo: Now your thing is sucking it up.
- Donnie: Hey, that's my thing!
- Donatello: Leo, it's not that bad. You blew up the Kraang ship.
- Leonardo: [dejected] But I also blew our chance to get Karai on our side.
- Raph: Look, she's Shredder's daughter! His blood! She was never gonna be on our side!
- Leo: Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe I just was believing what I wanted to.
- Mikey: I've been there, dude. For me, it was leprechauns.
- Leo: Are you seriously comparing what I am going through to the time you found out leprechauns aren't real?
- Mikey: Leprechauns aren't real!?
Karai's Vendetta [1.21]
[edit]- [the Shredder is a holding a squirming Kraang in his hand]
- Shredder: Why were you hunting the Turtles?!
- [the Kraang only squeals in fear]
- Karai: They don't talk much outside their little houses.
- [the Shredder puts the Kraang into its exo-suit, which it controls]
- Kraang droid: Kr-kr-Kraang is lacking the knowledge to answer the questions that the one known as Shredder is asking of Kraang.
- Shredder: [surprised] Do they all speak like this?
- Kraang droid: Even if Kraang is possessing the knowledge, the one known as Shredder will never be getting that knowledge from Kraang.
- Karai: You didn't have any other plans for today, did you?
- Shredder: Let's try this again! [unsheathes one of his gauntlet blades and points at the Kraang threateningly] Why were you hunting the Turtles!?
- Kraang droid: The Turtles are protecting the life-form that is needed by Kraang. The one known as April O'Neil.
- Shredder: Who is this April O'Neil?
- Kraang droid: She is the one known as "the one." She is the link that is missing in the plan of Kraang.
- Karai: So this April O'Neil is at the center of everything.
- Shredder: Then perhaps we can use her to bring the Turtles out of hiding. Karai, find this girl and bring her to me.
- Karai: What makes you so special!!? You're the center of an alien conspiracy, protected by mutants, and trained by a great ninja master!! Why!!
- April: I don't know!! I'm flunking trig! My friends are mutants! Aliens got my dad! And I lost my mother!
- Karai: What? You lost your mother?
- April: [recalls what Splinter had told her about unbalancing her opponent] AHHH!! [Flips Karai down the subway steps] Not bad for a nobody.
The Pulverizer Returns! [1.22]
[edit]- Mikey: [with Leo's katana swords] Look, I'm Leo. [deeper pitched voice] Guys, shh. We have to be quiet. Ninjas are quiet. Quiet down.
- [Raph and Donnie laugh]
- Leo: [offended] I sound nothing like that!
- Raph: [sarcastically] Yes, that's why we're laughing, because you sound nothing like that.
- Pulverizer: This is my chance to be like you guys. Once I mutate I'll unleash all my awesome mutant powers on Shredder.
- Donnie: Uh, doing the mutation thing is notoriously unpredictable and really stupid!
Parasitica [1.23]
[edit]- Mikey: Hey, Raph! Fire the weapons!
- Raph: I don't think so.
- Mikey: See, that's your problem. If I were in charge of weapons, I'd be firing at things all the time. That mailbox, blam! That newsstand, boom! That port-a-potty, splat!
- Leo: And that's why you're not in charge of the weapons. Now get back to your station and tell me which way to go.
- Mikey: Hmm... okay. Uh, you should turn right. [Leo turns right] ...three blocks ago.
- [Leo, Donnie and Raph groan.]
- Raph: Let's trash the place.
- Leo: Hold on, Raph. This is a recon mission. We go in there, find out what the Kraang are up to, and then we trash the place.
- Raph: Fine. Wake me when we get to the trashing part.
- Raph: I can't believe Mikey actually came through.
- Leo: I can't believe he fired the Shellraiser cannon inside the lair.
- Mikey: I told you you should let me shoot it more often. [eats some pizza and burps; to Donnie] Pizza me.
- Donnie: No, I'm not gonna "pizza you".
- Mikey: I guess you're right. It's not like I did something incredibly brave and saved your life.
- Leo: You did save our lives. But you also used my favorite comic book as TOILET PAPER!
- Mikey: Yeah, but I only did it so you'd chase me.
- Leo: Well, it worked! [starts chasing Mikey]
- Mikey: WAIT! STOP!
- Leo: MIKEY!
- [Leo pounces on Mikey and beats him up]
- Mikey: I'M A HERO!
Operation: Break Out [1.24]
[edit]- Donnie: What the heck was that?
- Raph: I was just having some fun. You know how much Mikey loves the Donnie puppet.
- Donnie: Dude, April was watching.
- Raph: I'm pretty sure she liked it... too. Wait. You still think you have a shot with her?
- Donnie: Well... er, I mean-
- Raph: Wow. That's adorable and sad. It's "sadorable". Look, if you wanna impress April, better leave me out of it.
- Leo: Why would Donnie try to rescue April's dad by himself?
- Raph: Maybe because I told him he has no shot with April?
- Leo: What? Why would you say that?
- Raph: Because he has no shot with April!
- Leo: Well, yeah, but you don't tell him that!
- Mikey: The heart's a soft muscle, man. A soft muscle. Squish.
Showdown
[edit]- Karai is revealed to be the presumably dead biological daughter of Hamato Yoshi/Splinter and his late wife Tang Shen. Her true name being Miwa.
Part 1 [1.25]
[edit]- Karai: Hey, there, Princess. Miss me?
- April: Yeah, actually. Last time I saw you, I forgot to give you this! [kicks Karai in the stomach]
- Karai: You've done well. Now take the message to Splinter.
- April: Dad, what are you doing?! Dad!? You brainwashed him!
- Karai: I know. Pretty cool, right?
- Leo: What? There's a force field? [To Donnie] Why didn't you tell me?!
- Donnie: [Sarcastically] Well, because I wanted us to fail. [Beat] OBVIOUSLY I DIDN'T KNOW!!!
- Shredder: Hamato Yoshi, so glad you could accept my invitation.
- Splinter: What have you done with April!?
- Shredder: Now that you are here, Miss O'Neil is no longer any use to me. I gave her to my new friends- the Kraang.
- Splinter: [horrified] You fool! Do you have any idea what you've done!?
- Shredder: [strikes Splinter from behind] Yes. I took your family away and I now I can put an end to you once and for all.
- [Splinter reveals his mutated rat face to his former adopted brother]
- Shredder: [dumbfounded] What? A rat?! [chuckles mockingly] I see you are as hideous as those turtles that surround you. How fitting. You're a rat who has been caught in my trap.
- Splinter: Look closely at this face, Shredder.... [angrily] For it is the last thing youll ever see!
Part 2 [1.26]
[edit]- Splinter: [to Shredder] Oroku Saki, you were once my friend. I thought of you as my brother. 15 years ago, I was a different man. I had everything I could want - a loving wife and a beautiful daughter. And you, my loyal friend, jealousy consumed you. You sought that which was mine! You took everything that I love! Everything! And still you hunt me down! So I fight you now to end this!
- April: Sensei, I want to apologize for the way I spoke to you earlier.
- Splinter: No need. You spoke what was in your heart. I am just relieved you made it home safely.
- Leo: What's wrong, sensei?
- Splinter: I learned some things from the Shredder.
- Leo: Like what?
- Splinter: That is a story for another time, Leonardo. Tonight is for celebration. After all, it's not everyday you save the world from an alien invasion.
