[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[TWIG SNAPS]

Aaiee!

Oh, great.

I've just been dedaisied.

And you'll be
pushing up daisies

if we don't improve our
jungle fighting techniques.

Shredder could show up
any time, any place.

Man, Leonardo,
you are such a downer.

Huh?

I believe you were
saying something

about improving
our technique?

Very funny, donatello.

[ANGRY YELLING]

LEONARDO: It's shredder!

We're ready for you,
shred-head.

Hyah!

Uhh!

Ready to say Uncle?

Hey, whoa!
Chill out, dude!

Come on. It's me.

Michelangelo?

For sure, dudes.

Had you going there
for a while, though, didn't I?

Ha ha!

Where'd you
get the mask?

Hey, I made it
from an old pizza tray.

Where else?

[ENGINE ROARING]

What was that?

RAPHAEL: It's some kind
of spaceship.

MICHELANGELO: Whoa!
Major notion!

It's gonna crash!

Let's go, turtles!

We've got
to get him up fast!

Up you go, guy.

[GASPS]

[COUGHING]

He's
still alive.

Let's get him
to shore quick!

Man, this is one
freaky-looking alien.

He probably thinks
you're pretty weird, too.

Hmm.

What have those meddlesome
turtles stumbled upon now?

Quick!
Boil some water.

We're not delivering
a baby, dimbo.

I heard it in a movie.

[WEAK]
Uhh!

The eye of zarnov...
[COUGHS]

You must find
the 3 fragments

of the eye of zarnov.

Fragments?

[GASPS] 3 pieces of my
ship fell to the earth.

When they are joined,

the possessor will have
power undreamed of...

[GASPS]
In your world.

Undreamed of power?

I like
the sound of that.

But how can
we find these fragments?

They could be anywhere.

[GASPS]

With this
crystal converger...

[BEEPING]

You can track
the energy released

by each fragment.

[GASPS]
Hurry...

Before they fall
into evil hands.

Once assembled,

their power
cannot be stopped.

[GASPING]

Farewell, earthlings.

[GASPING TOGETHER]

Oh, whoa, man.
Vaporized.

He--
he's gone.

Just the way
those turtles will be

once I locate
those fragments.

Turn left.
Now right.

Make up your mind,
will you?

I can't help it.

This crystal tracker
is very sensitive.

See if that gizmo's got
a setting for food, bud.

I could use a pizza break.

RAPHAEL: Will you cool it
with the pizzas?

We're after something big.

MICHELANGELO:
Well, all right, then.

Just make it
a family-sized pizza.

The fools!

They're leading me to the fragments.
Ha ha ha!

Baxter!

Connect me with krang
in dimension x

immediately!

But my cone is melting
in the sun.

Silence, toad!
Do as I say

and now!

As you wish, master.

[BEEPS]

[ELECTRONIC CHIRP]

Yes, shredder?
What is it now?

Good news, krang.

I will soon
have the weapon

with which to destroy
the turtles.

You have promised
this before

and have always failed.

But this time,
I shall be successful.

If only I could have
my foot soldiers.

The answer is no,

not until you bring
the turtles to me

on a plate.

Until then, stop wasting
my precious time!

[ELECTRONIC CHIRP]

Oh, blast that
bodiless brain!

Ohh!

Nice, Baxter.
Nice.

The converger is telling us
to turn here, Leonardo.

[SCREECHING]

A garbage truck?

DONATELLO: There it is!

[WHIRRING]

MICHELANGELO:
And there it goes.

Ok, turtles,
it's up to us.

Are you suggesting
that we go climbing

through
that garbage?

Hey, it's a dirty job,
but someone's got to do it.

True, but how come
that someone's

always got to be us?

[BEEPING]
Whoa!

Does that answer
your question?

Ok, guys!

Last one in is
a rotten tomato!

Ugh!

Innocent fools.

As usual, they're in
over their heads.

Look, guys.
Jackpot!

If you don't mind,

I'll take that!

Shredder!

Hey, give that back!

Come and get it, mutants.

With pleasure, tin face.

Uhh!

One down,
three to go.

Say adios, dipstick.

You're about
to get dusted.

What?!

I'd say the tables
were turned.

My turn, bozo.

A simple challenge.

Saved by the shell.

See if you can handle me,
shredder.

Mere child's play.
Watch.

Ooh!

Net result,


Oh, I made a funny.

Now to cut you
down to size.

So much for
the free ninja lesson.

I have won this fragment
in clean combat.

You mean dirty combat?

Uhh!
What's happening?

I don't know,

but it's, like,
mondo beyond-o!

Well, an unexpected power.

It's shredder!

He's getting bigger!

Wrong, Leonardo.

We're getting
smaller!

That must be the power
of the fragment.

It makes things shrink.

Ah, great.

At last I have
you meddlesome turtles

right in the palm
of my hand.

Now to crush
you meddlesome turtles

one by one!

Guess again,
frying pan face.

Blast you!

Stand still,
you little shrinkers.

What do we do now,
Leonardo?

[PANTING]
This thing is getting heavy.

I say it's time
to haul shell.

Come back and fight
like men, you mutants!

[PANTING]

You guys go on.

I can't run
any farther.

Never!
We'll make our stand here!

Kind of
like custer did?

Who needs foot soldiers
when a single foot

will take care
of you insects?

MICHELANGELO: Oh, whoa!
Here comes the cavalry!

Whoa!
Look out!

No. It can't be.

They've escaped.

But I have
the first fragment

of the eye of zarnov,

and soon its limitless power
shall be mine!

We've gotta make it home
before we get even smaller.

RAPHAEL: And quick.
We're shrinking faster

than a pair
of cheap underwear.

Ok, the coast
is clear.

Hey, watch it,
bigfoot!

Ohh. We made it.

Oh, thanks a lot, fella!

Cheer up, turtles.

At least things
can't get any worse.

Oh, no?
Scope that out!

A watering truck!

Head for
the high ground!

I've got news
for you.

The high ground
is too high.

ALL: Whoa!

Remember,
we're turtles.

We're at home
under the water.

Just keep
telling me that!

ALL: Aah!

[COUGHS]

There's gotta be
an easier way

to get home than this.

Hmm.

It would seem we have
quite a large problem.

Please, sensei,
must you use the word "large"?

And one that requires
immediate action.

April, this is splinter.
Please respond.

Remember, we at channel 6 news
have to be decisive, daring,

able to make
split-second decisions.

SPLINTER ON RADIO:
April, are you there?

Did you say something?

Who? Me?

SPLINTER: April--

yes, you.
April.

SPLINTER: You are needed
most urgently.

It's an emergency.

I've got to go,
Mr. Thompson.

It's a hot story.

Go? Go where?

We're right in the middle
of a meeting.

You said yourself
we've got to make

split-second decisions.

Ciao!

But that was only a speech!

Unlimited power?
Rubbish.

You have given me nothing
but empty promises.

But, krang, I have
destroyed the turtles

as you ordered.

Lies! Lies! Lies!

Where is your proof?

I have none.

Like many a turtle
before them,

they have been
flushed down the sewers.

Ha! Talk is cheap.

What I want is
indisputable evidence.

Is my word
not good enough?

Precisely.
Your word is not good enough.

But--

ohh!

If proof is what
that maniac medulla wants,

then proof he shall have!

Thank you, April,
for answering my call.

We must find shredder

and that alien fragment

before he uses it
to do further damage.

Those poor turtles.

Less than


We interrupt this commercial

to bring you
a special bulletin.

Interrupt a commercial?

It must be big news!

NEWSCASTER: The empire state
building is actually shrinking.

[SCREAMING]

Shredder!

Precisely.

Now he's turned that fragment
on innocent people.

APRIL: Hang on, splinter.

Next stop,
the empire state building.

NEWSCASTER: It's being reported
that this is just one

of many midtown buildings
that have been shrunk.

Come on, mister!
Hurry!

You're the last one left!

Ah, the alien crystal
has done its work beautifully.

Oh, yes, master.
Magnificently.

And this will be
the crown jewel

in my collection.

Now krang will have
to send me my foot warriors.

It's hopeless.

By the time
we get there,

shredder
will be gone.

We must retrieve
the alien crystal,

or I dread to think
what may befall the city.

Well, one good thing
about being tiny...

Yeah, one slice of pizza
is enough for all of us.

Like, speak
for yourself, dude.

Oh, no!
Look!

It's a tidal wave!

Why are we running?

It's just your average
sewer trickle.

Sure, but we're no longer

your average-size
mutant turtles.

ALL: Whoa!

Quick, turtles.
Climb aboard!

I didn't know they made
bars of soap this big.

It must be the large
family size, huh?

Speaking of things
that are large...

RAPHAEL: A sewer snake!

Ohh.
What a way to go.

We're not swallowed yet.

Hyah!

[HISSES]

Let's do lunch
again sometime.

Oh, nice going,
Leonardo.

Now we're traveling
economy class.

KRANG ON RADIO:
Shredder!

Shredder, this had
better be good.

I'm much too busy

for your time-wasting
conversations.

The talking is over.

This time,
I will show you deeds.

[SNAPS FINGERS]

Behold!

Is this some sort of joke?

I asked
for petrified turtles,

and bring me toy buildings!

I want those turtles,

and I want them now!

Ohh, blast
that grotesque ganglion!

Might I suggest this?

What in blazes
is that monstrosity?

An invention of mine.

A heat-seeking
turtle scope.

It'll locate them no
matter how tiny they are.

Oh, excellent.

Now go, and don't come back
without those mini-amphibians.

Never fear, master.

They're as good
as captured.

Hee hee hee!

Well, it looks like we're not
the only ones shrinking.

The soap is, too.

Hold it, guys.

We've got more
serious problems.

Oh, yeah?
Like what?

LEONARDO: Like that.
A storm drain!

And we're headed
right for it!

Oh, what a bummer.
No soap, no hope.

Hang on.
We're going over!

ALL: Aah!

Uh-oh!
Whoa!

ALL: Aah!

Whoa, buds!

That was definitely
a radical ride.

Ha ha ha!

Now all we've got
to worry about

is getting to shore.

We've got bigger problems
than that, Leonardo.

You're always
looking for trouble.

Oh, yeah?

Well, this time,
the trouble's looking for us.

[SNARLS]

Yikes!

It's Moby d*ck's
big brother!

MICHELANGELO:
I promise, dude,

I'll never eat another
anchovy pizza again.

I got news for you.
You may never eat

another pizza period!

[SNARLING]

What's going on?

Hey!

Well, what do
we have here?

Why,
it's a rare species

of soon-to-be
extinct turtles.

Hee hee hee!

Something tells me
we were better off

with the fish.

Hmm. This is most strange.

What is it,
splinter?

I left the turtles
at home.

Yet I sense
they are close by.

The connection between sensei
and student is very strong.

I hope you're wrong.

In their present condition,
they wouldn't last long

in a neighborhood
like this.

Yes, they are
now quite close.

My bond with the turtles
has not diminished,

even if they have.

Please, turn here.

There!
That is where they are!

Well, krang,

what have you
to say now?

Hmm...

Perhaps I have underestimated
your evil abilities after all.

My thoughts exactly.

What have you to say now,
mini-mutants?

You'll never get away
with this, krang!

ALL: Huh?

Well, you got to admit
it sounded good.

And now, krang,
for your viewing pleasure,

you shall witness
the final agonizing moments

of the turtles' demise.

Splendid!
Let the show begin.

If I had hands,

they'd be sweating
in anticipation.

Can't we discuss this
like human beings?

Nice try, donatello.

Sayonara, turtles.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

SHREDDER:
Splinter!

Yes, shredder.

Your old sensei has returned
to teach you a new lesson.

Aah!
Feeble rodent.

I will do
the teaching.

[ELECTRIC CRACKLE]

Infernal
technical difficulties!

And just when the show
was getting interesting.

Aah! Hyah!

Not bad for a rusty,
old has-been.

One with a face
made of metal

should not use
the word "rusty."

Uhh!

[YELLING]

Hey, let me out
of here!

Uhh!

Ha ha ha.
Try again, shredder.

I intend to! Aah!

Oh, what a ride.
My brain feels like tofu.

Uhh!

LEONARDO:
April, over here.

We're behind
this big hunk of junk.

Turtles, is that you?

Yeah, what
there is of us.

[GASPS]
I can't believe it.

You're so tiny.

Look, April, this is no
time for small talk.

Quick!
Aim that crystal at us.

A second jolt
might reverse the effect.

You mean
we might get bigger?

Well, we can't get
much smaller, Einstein.

It's worth a try.

Uhh!

Ha ha ha!
Advantage shredder.

It's useless
to struggle

against the shredder
grip of steel.

Quick, April,
turn on the beam!

I'm not sure how.

Neither are we.

It just
sort of happened.

Something's happening,

but I don't know what!

MICHELANGELO:
Whoa, man.

Yeah, it feels like an
intergalactic tanning booth.

It's working.
We're starting to grow.

Smothered by
a cheese-wrapping machine.

Ha ha!
A fitting end for a rat.

[GROANING]

ALL: Whoa!

[ELECTRIC CRACKLE]

Uh, what?

It stopped!

While I have just started.

Hyah!

Aha! The crystal!

You may have won
this time, splinter,

but I still have this!

Quickly, master!
This way!

Till the next time, turtles.
Au revoir!

Ha ha ha!

He's getting away
with the crystal.

We must stop him.

It is useless to try.
He is gone.

I feel we failed you,
master.

It is all part of the
learning process, Leonardo.

Even our mistakes
can serve as teachers.

And just as mysteriously
as it started,

this entire
shrinking business stopped.

Hopefully one day
the true story

behind this incredible event
can be revealed.

[SCOFFS] Yeah.
The same day we turtles

can walk around the city
like regular people.

Speaking of things
shrinking,

so is my stomach.

Where the heck
is Michelangelo

with those pizzas?

Yeah!

He sure is taking
his sweet time.

Ta-da! All right, dudes,

it's scarfing time!

All right!
I'll do the slicing.

Hey, just scope out
these babies.

Babies?

These things haven't
even been born yet.

Is this some kind
of a sick joke?

Well, ask splinter.
It was his idea.

I had them specially made
for my small students

to remind them
they still have

a long way to grow.

Ha ha ha!
