Alright, Donatello,
prepare to defend yourself.

Yeah, yeah, Leonardo.
Anything you say.

Yeoh!

Ooh!

What kind of a block
was that?

Well, it worked, didn't it?

Uh, look, it's been fun,
but I gotta get back
to my workshop.

But we're not finished
practicing.

Master Splinter left me
in charge while he's away

and I order you to stay.

Lighten up, Leonardo.

Michelangelo...

Why weren't you
at ninja practice?

Hey, dude. But, I am
practicing.

Some outrageous
new pizza recipes.

If we're gonna stay first-class
ninjas, we must remain
on the cutting edge.

Cutting edge.
That reminds me...

Care for a slice, dude?

Mmm, it's even good raw.

Michelangelo, you are a
sorry excuse for a defender
of truth and justice.

Oh, lighten up, dude.

Defenders of truth
and justice get hungry
too, you know.

Take door number three!
Take door number three!

I can't believe you.

Believe me, the prize is
behind door number three.

Hey, why'd you do that?

With all the important
things to do in this world,

you waste your time
watching TV.

Haven't you heard?
All work and no play makes
Raphael a dull turtle.

Master Splinter will be very
upset when he hears about your
total lack of discipline.

[RAPHAEL]
Leonardo...

do yourself a favor and try
to lighten up, will ya?

Door number three.
Door number three!

So how long you figure
Splinter's gonna be up
on that mountaintop?

Until he finishes
communing with nature.

Or some hunters mistake
him for a large raccoon,
whichever comes first.

Well, I sure wish he'd hurry.

I can't take much more of
Leonardo bossing us around.

Likewise. Hey, hand me that
socket wrench, will ya?

Forget that thing. You
oughta work on some invention
that'll lighten up Leonardo.

Hold everything,
you already have.

It's your
personality-modifying ray.

Whoa, whoa.
No, no, fellas.

Not the personality
modifier.

It isn't perfected yet.

Bingo! I found it!

That's it, alright.

Hey, let go of that thing.
It could be dangerous.

So could living
with Leonardo.

What's going on here?

Oh, now look what
you guys did.

What we did?

It's your invention.

Uh, Leonardo?
Are you alright?

Ah, me? Alright?

Hey, guys! I never felt
better in my life.

I don't believe it.
You're actually smiling.

Why shouldn't I smile?
Life's a blast!

And with that old
fuddy-duddy Splinter gone,

hey, we don't have
to do anymore stupid
ninja exercises.

Stupid ninja exercises!

No more katanas! No more hooks!
No more sensei's nasty looks!

[LAUGHS]

Ooh! Whoopee!

Alright!

That ray actually worked!

Leonardo's turned into a
totally fun-loving dude.

Oh, I don't know. We might've
opened a Pandora's box.

All set.
Plug it in, Fingers.

Alright, Knuckles.

Okay, the keyboard's
plugged in,

the amp's on, and the speakers
are heated up.

Then we are ready
to rock and roll.

Everything's set, Mr. Cleff.

That's Maestro Cleff
to you.

Now, pay attention.

You are about
to witness the most
important performance

in the history of music.

Whatever you say,
mice toes.

Call my compositions
ridiculous, will they?

Let's see what those
music critics say about
my latest masterpiece.

[LAUGHS]

[MUSIC BLARES]

Hey, that's gotta be the
loudest sound I ever heard.

What? I can't hear you.

Someone's making the loudest
sound I ever heard.

I'm getting out of here.

Not me, I'm getting
out of here.

[SCREAMS]

[MUSIC STOPS]

Whoa, look at 'em all
panicking down there.

Hey, Maestro.

Your stereo worked
like gangbusters.

This was merely a test.

They wouldn't pay
to hear me play.

Now they can pay to see
that I don't.

When I'm through,
I'll have this city
groveling for mercy.

[LAUGHS]

[PHONE RINGS]

[WOMAN]
Channel Six News,
just a moment.

[PHONE RINGS]

Channel Six News.
What's that?

The park was just
destroyed by sound waves?

[PHONE RINGS]
Give me a break!

Channel Six News.

A man on the roof
of city hall?

With a giant stereo?

Is this some kind of gag?

April! Where are you?

[APRIL]
At the dog show, chief.

You assigned Vernon
and me to cover it,
remember?

Well, forget about those mutts.
Get over to city hall, pronto.

Some maniac is on the roof
blowing things up.
Go! Go! Go! Go!

Right, chief. We're
practically there.

Come on, Vernon. We're
on our way to city hall.

Look, there he is.

[VERNON]
Alright, April.
We're rolling.

This is April O'Neil--

and Vernon Fenwick--

reporting live
from city hall,

where a real-life
drama is taking place.

We're all plugged in,
Mr. Cleff.

Your adoring public awaits.

[KNUCKLES CRACK]

Excellent. Then I won't
keep them waiting.

[MUSIC BLARES]

What is that?

The story we're here
to cover.

Goodness!

I'll file the story
back at the office.

Vernon! You can't
just leave me!

I guess he can.

[VERNON]
Whoa!

[SCREAMS]

I've gotta find shelter!

Good! The treasury building.

They built these walls
real thick.

[MUSIC INTENSIFIES]

I gotta contact
the Turtles.

This is April
calling the Turtles.
Come in, Turtles.

Oh, no!

[ALARM RINGS]

So that's what
he was after!

Oh, no!

Help!

[ORGAN MUSIC BLARES]

[APRIL]
Ahh!

Oh, thank heaven
for open manholes.

Burne told me to get
to the bottom of this.

Well, I guess this
is the bottom.

Hold on.

If I remember my sewer
system guidebook,

I should be able to find
my way out of here.

I'd recognize that
sludge pump anywhere.

That means the Turtles'
lair is this way.

Whoa, I am one hungry Turtle.

Yeah.
[WHISTLES]

Hey, Leonardo,
where's our dinner?

Voila. Ha ha ha.

[FRENCH ACCENT]
Le dinner is, uh, how do
you say...she is, uh, served.

Great, roast turkey.

[LEONARDO LAUGHS]

Oh, you guys oughta
see yourselves.

What a bunch of
turkey-covered turkeys!

[LAUGHS]

You're a real barrel
of monkeys, you know
that, Leonardo?

Yeah, dude. That exploding
turkey was a total yuk.

Yuck is the perfect word.

Who's gonna clean up
this mess?

Never fear Messieur,
I will take care
of it toute suite.

[TURTLES YELL]

As we say in my country,
au reservoir.

[LAUGHS]

Get it?
[LAUGHS]

Dudes, it looks like using
the personality-modifying ray

on Leonardo was
a real no-brainer.

Well, that figures.
It was your idea.

Yeah, well, it was
yours, too, dude.

Okay, let's not argue.

We all wanted Leonardo
to lighten up, remember?

Yeah, but not like this.

The dude's turned into a
walking whoopee cushion.

I never thought
I'd say this,

but I'm actually
starting to miss
the old Leonardo.

[APRIL]
And I miss all of you.

April, how'd you
get here?

From the looks of
your clothes, it wasn't
first-class travel.

It's a long story,
and I'm hungry.

Do you have anything to eat?

Aw, sure, dudette.
Just peel something
off the wall.

So that's when Vernon
left me stranded,

with city hall falling
down around my ears.

Man, that Vernon
is such a wimpezoid.

All we know about this G. Cleff
guy is that he's some kind
of frustrated composer

who's determined to get
even with the world.

Well, let's find out
what he's been up to
since you left him.

Hello, world. This is Vernon
Fenwick, ace correspondent,

bringing you a danger-filled,
up-to-the-minute, on-the-spot
report.

Vernon!

G. Cleff, the mad maestro,
has struck again.

This time, it was
the diamond exchange,

plundering it
of a fortune in jewels.

Stealing my report!

Oh, I'd like
to wring his neck.

Take a number.

Right now, we have
more important things
to deal with.

With that ultrasonic sound
system at his disposal,

it'll take everything
we've got to stop him.

I say it's time
we Turtles went to work.

And we'll need Leonardo
to lead us.

So let's go get
laughing boy.

[MICHELANGELO]
Yo, Leonardo!
Duty calls, dude.

Yeah, time to get
our shells in gear.

He's not here.

[MICHELANGELO]
Scope it out, dudes.
He left us a note.

Whoa!

That Leonardo. Ha ha.
What a cutup.

"Ciao, babies.
I'm off to enjoy myself."

Guys, we're in serious
sewer sludge.

♪♪ [SURF MUSIC]

Oh, wow. Dynamite surf today.

Alright!

Awesome wave!

Cowabunga!

[ADMIRING CHEERS]

Nothing to it, dudes.
Surfing's in my blood.

Hey man, where'd you get that
totally bodacious wetsuit?

In a puddle of chemical mutagen.

Here we are, Maestro.
The Third National Bank.

Excellent. Prepare for
a brief, but touching,
musical interlude.

[MUSIC BLARES]

Oh, what a
delightful symphony.

It's music to my ears.

[ALARM RINGS]
Now, proceed with
the withdrawal.

Excuse me for asking,
Maestro,

but don't we have
enough money yet?

No, you oaf. I need
additional financing

to create a more
powerful stereo with
even larger speakers.

Why's that, Maestro?

'Cause then, my
soft-brained friend,

we won't have to rob
cheesy little banks.

We'll be able to rob
entire cities!

[LAUGHS]

[RAPHAEL]
Any sign of Leonardo,
Donatello?

[DONATELLO]
Not hide nor hair
of him.

I'm not surprised.

The dude's got
no hair on his hide.

Hold it. We're picking
up something.

There he is.
On the beach.

That's right
below us.

Hang on, I'm
taking us down.

Oh, man. What a sweet life.

Leonardo, quick.
We need you.

Hey, guys. Pull
up a strip of sand
and catch a few rays.

This is serious.
We need your help.

Yeah, some maniac
is blowing up
the entire city.

Hey, lighten up.
It's only one measly
little city.

The country's full of 'em.

No, no, no.
You don't understand.

Now, look. There's a gnarly wave
out there with the name
"Leonardo" written on it.

And I'm about to catch it.
Have a nice day!

Guys, we've created
a Frankensurfer.

[RAPHAEL]
Well, Donatello, any sign
of the mad maestro?

Could be. We've got
an unfriendly on
the roof at 2:00.

Just how unfriendly
is the dude?

[DONATELLO]
It's G. Cleff.

[RAPHAEL]
Well, that's about as
unfriendly as they get.

Well, I say we
go after him.

Without Leonardo?

What choice do we have?

Here, put on these helmets.

What are these
supposed to do?

Hopefully protect us
from Cleff's sound system.

[MICHELANGELO]
Are batteries included?

Hey, look what's
headed this way.

Well, what do you know?
It's the Gotham blimp.

Let's get those dudes.

[DONATELLO]
Alright, Cleff,
the gig is up.

Not till I've
played my finale.

Or, should I say,
your finale.

Let them hear their own
personal farewell song.

[KNUCKLES]
Ready when you are,
Maestro.

[MUSIC BLARES]

Whoa, what a note.

So much for the helmets.

Worse news yet, the controls
don't work either.

[MICHELANGELO]
Oh, dudes! We've got
ourselves a blowout!

[TURTLES]
Whoa!

[DONATELLO]
Pull up! Pull up!

[RAPHAEL]
I'm pulling! I'm pulling!

Oops.

Oh, great. There
goes the resale
value of this thing.

[DONATELLO]
Aim for that open space
between those buildings.

Don't you just hate
a backseat blimp driver?

[ALL]
Ohh!

Oh, what luck.

Saved by a sidewalk cafe.

Couldn't you have
picked a pizzeria?

Look, G. Cleff's gone.

Where do you think
he'll strike next?

What's the difference?

We'll never
get close enough
to stop him

as long as he has that
supersonic stereo.

We need an edge,
compadres.

In other words,
we need Leonardo.

Right.

But how do we get him?
He's having too good a time.

It's simple. We'll
convince him to come
back to the lair with us,

then you'll reverse
the effects of the
personality-modifying ray.

Lots of luck.

Where to next, dudes?

Well, I checked
out all the beaches,
and there's zero surf.

So what would a
dedicated surf nut
like Leonardo be doing?

Skateboarding. What else?

[DONATELLO]
Right. So all we have to do is
locate all the skateboard areas.

Oh, great.
Skateboard city.

I'll isolate any
green, shell-backed
skateboarders.

Jackpot. We found him.

[LEONARDO LAUGHS]

Woo!

Whoopee!

Yo, Leonardo!

Hey, amigos. Wanna
join the party?

First, I'll have to teach you
dudes a couple of basic moves.

Like gleaming the cube.

Leonardo, you've got
to come with us.

Right, we can't handle
this G. Cleff dude
without you.

Tough tamales, guys.

Life's too short
for hassling baddies.

I'd rather party hearty.

Ow!

Okay, now what?

This calls for
the ultimate weapon...

the net nabber.

Oh, yeah? Well, nets to you.

[LAUGHS]

Hey, as long as we're flinging
things, try this on for size.

Ew!
[COUGHING]

[LAUGHS]

Hey, lighten up, guys.

Can't you take a joke?

Very funny. The Turtle van
is gonna smell for weeks.

Hey, no problem.

I'll wash it out for you.

[LEONARDO LAUGHS]

You guys--you guys
totally crack me up!

Hey, ciao, dudes.

This party animal
is out to let
the good times roll.

Ow!

It looks like
the awesome foursome

has turned into
the dripping threesome.

April O'Neil here at the U.S.
Mint, where the notorious
G. Cleff has struck again.

And it's all our fault.

Yeah, we had to go
and change Leonardo's
personality.

Why the unhappy faces,
my students?

Master Splinter.

Whoa, sensei, are we
ever glad to see you.

Where is Leonardo?

It's a long story, Master.

Then proceed to tell it.

The longest story begins
with a single word.

Well, it all started
when you put Leonardo
in charge

while you went off
on your retreat.
So Leonardo...

[RAPHAEL]
Are you sure you want to go
through with this, Sensei?

I mean, it could
be dangerous.

It is also the only
recourse left to us.

There's that fun-loving
Leonardo now.

Hi, guys. Back for some
more fun and games?

That's right. Only this time,
we brought a ringer.

Master Splinter.

If I can outperform you
at skateboarding, Leonardo,

will you return to the lair?

You? Outperform me?
You've gotta be jiving.

If that means kidding,
I assure you I am not.

Do we have a deal?

Okay, it's a deal,
Master.

You'll have to do
better than that.

Now, watch this. Here's
the way we pros do it.

Cowabunga!

Whoa!

I was taught to skate
softly, but dazzle
your opponent.

Whoa!

Hey! No fair!

You cheated!

What did you expect?
I am a rat.

There are times when right
overrules rules, my son.

There, that should
take care of it.

Do you think it worked?

We'll know in a minute.

[LEONARDO]
Donatello...

this workshop of yours
is a disgrace.

And, Raphael and Michelangelo,
why aren't you in the practice
room working out?

[TURTLES]
It worked.

Why are we standing around?

Didn't you say we've got
a city to save?

[TURTLES]
Turtle power!

Okay, Maestro.
All set.

This will be the grandest
moment of my career.

I can't bring audiences
to their feet,

but I can bring this city
to its knees.

[LEONARDO]
I wouldn't do that,
if I were you.

Your next concert'll be played
on the bars of your prison cell.

Talk is cheap,
especially corny
dialogue like that.

Aim those speakers
at these green nuisances.

Right, Maestro.

And this'll make sure
they hear it.

Okay, Turtles. Put on your
secret weapons.

Aw, dude,
do we have to?

Yes, we have to.

I feel like
such a dweeb.

[MUSIC BLARES]

What's wrong?

Sorry, I can't hear you
with these earmuffs on.

♪♪ [THEME SONG]

Everyone's a music
critic.

Cowabunga!

Get him!

Don't even think about it.

Ohh!

Earmuffs. How did you
ever think of it?

I knew cotton
wouldn't crack.

You know, sometimes
the simple answers
are the best.

Huh, I never woulda
come up with that.

[MICHELANGELO]
Hey, that's why he's
our numero uno dude.

And so, with G. Cleff and his
henchmen safely behind bars,

the task of rebuilding
the city has already begun.

[LEONARDO]
Alright,

rest period is over.

Aw, dude. April
was just getting
to the good part.

[LEONARDO]
You can catch it in
reruns, Michelangelo.

Right now, we have
karate exercises.

I'll see you all
in the practice room.

Donatello, is that personality
modifier still working?

I see you have already
forgotten your lesson.

There is room in this world
for all different types
of personalities.

Some light-hearted,
some serious.

Think how boring it would be
if all of us were identical.

Are you kidding?

I think a world of me's
would be totally righteous.

For sure, dude. For sure.
