[LAUGHTER]

Yeah!

Yay!

Whoa, nice
hammerlock.

I can't think
of a better way to relax

than by
watching wrestling.

You said it.

The terrible turtle
knows all the right moves.

Yeah, he could beat
any other wrestler

with both hands tied
behind his shell.

What shell?
He hasn't got a shell.

Hey,
Michelangelo!

We were watching
wrestling!

That's like
a total snore, dudes.

Now, this is
really intense.

It's time for on trial
with Clayton Kellerman.

And now here's the man
you love to hate,

Clayton Kellerman!

Good evening, jerks!

Yeah!
Yeah!

Whoo!
Yeah!

You got to be kidding,
Michelangelo.

This guy makes pond
scum look good.

Yeah. It's
a terrible show.

Au contraire,
compadres.

It's even more radical
than wrestling.

I'll bet you thought you knew
about all the nut cases out there

trying to sabotage
our way of life.

Now, didn't ya?

Yeah!

Well, you're wrong.

Let me tell you about a threat
right under your feet,

in the sewers.

Let's talk turtles,

teenage mutant
ninja turtles!

Uh-oh. I got a bad feeling
about this.

APRIL:
About what, guys?

Just listen
to this.

And I say these freaky turtles
are menaces

who ought
to be hunted down.

Yeah!
Yeah!

Look at them!

Yeah, all they need
are some torches

and a castle
to storm.

They're acting like animals.

What am I saying?

LEONARDO: Why is he turning
people against us, April?

Yeah, we don't exactly have the best p.R.
Image as it is.

Aw, don't take it
personally, guys.

Kellerman
hates everybody.

He's got all the charm
of an electric eel.

Here, these ought to
make you feel better.

Yiii!

[GULP]

Ohh!

Where'd you
get these,

at Freddie's
garage sale?

I had wardrobe
make them up.

Try them on.

Hey, great.

Now we don't look
like mutant turtles.

Yeah!

We look like mutant turtles
wearing people masks.

I think it makes
a real fashion statement.

And the statement is "yuck."

KRANG: So the turtles
beat you again, shredder,

and you call yourself
a supervillain?

Superklutz
is more like it.

Oh, cool down.

Cool down?

Look at that thermometer.

If we had the solar benite you
were sent to the surface steal,

we could use it to power
the refrigeration units,

but did you get any?

No!

If you think
it's so easy, krang,

why don't you
go up and get it?

And take care of the turtles
while you're at it.

Not a bad idea
for once.

I'll use brains
instead of brawn,

but it's not enough
to just defeat them.

I must crush them
completely!

MICHELANGELO: Hey, these masks
are really cool, April.

You can even eat
pizza in them.

I'm glad you like them,
guys.

[ALARM RINGS]

Uh-oh! Trouble.

RAPHAEL:
No problem, April.

Trouble is
our middle name.

I didn't know
we had middle names.

Not bad, huh?

Oh, outstanding,
mon frere,

and check out
these chuks!

Yeah!

Uhh!

Looks like another victory
for the forces of good.

Don't you mean
the forces of green?

MAN: Get outta town,
turtles!

WOMAN: Kellerman's right!
You're no good!

Yeah! Get away
from us humans!

We don't want
your kind here!

Uh-oh.

I'm picking up some really
negative vibes here.

[CROWD SHOUTING]

I think
they mean business.

Yeah, time
to boogie, dudes,

and I'm talking
warp speed!

Yeah,
but where to?

Quick, over there!

You, too, April.

It's all that Clayton
Kellerman's fault.

We should do something
about him.

April, can you get us
air time on on trial

to present our side?

Oh,
I'm sure I could.

Vern Thompson
would ok anything

that will deliver
big ratings.

Good. Then maybe
people will understand us.

BEBOP:
Hey, krang, shredder says

you're going to personally
take on the turtles.

Can we come, too?
Can we? Huh?

Forget it.

I'll handle this myself

as soon as I think of a plan
that's nasty enough.

Gee, too bad.

We had nothing planned
for this afternoon.

Yeah, I guess we'll just
have to watch TV instead.

Oh, boy,
it's the smurfs,

my favorite.

Pretty good reception

for being


ANNOUNCER:
Tonight at 7:30, live--

the infamous teenage
mutant ninja turtles!

Be there!

The turtles?

It's too good
to be true!

If I time this right,

I'll be able
to destroy them

on national television!

Now all I need
is the proper weapon.

Let's see--
atomic destabilizer?

Mm-mmm. Too messy.

Freeze ray?
Too quick.

I want them to suffer.

You said the turtles
would be on the show.

Now you're telling me
they're wimping out?

No, no!
They just don't think

it's wise to expose
themselves to the public.

We'll do a remote
from the basement.

The basement?
Oh, yuck!

No matter
where we sh**t it,

the ratings will
be fantastic!

You're right!

I'm gonna make turtle soup

out of those
slimeshells!

I better go.

I've got to help them
get ready for the show.

I can't wait to see
the turtles again.

Imagine the turtles
as media superstars.

I wonder if I can get
their autographs.

I wonder if they'll
still talk to me.

Don't worry, Michelangelo.
You'll do just fine.

I don't know.

What if I like
get stage fright

and get laughed
off the show?

A wise man has nothing to fear
from laughter, Michelangelo.

Oh, yeah,
a wise man,

but what about
a wacky turtle?

Relax! Just let me
the talking.

I can handle
this Kellerman clown.

Let's go, guys.

The show doesn't
start until 7:30,

but we should
get there early.

Good luck, turtles.

I have a feeling
they might need it.

Still here, krang?

I thought you'd have
the turtles defeated by now.

Soon, shredder,

now that I've found
the perfect weapon.

This is a prototype for
a new military weapon.

And it's stored
in the same warehouse

as the solar benite.

With this, I'll be able
to destroy the turtles

once and for all!

SHREDDER:
It's not fair!

I deserve to have
a part in this!

The turtles
are my enemies, too!

Oh, very well, if you're
going to sulk about it.

I'll need you to distract
the turtles

while my trog soldiers and I
break into the warehouse.

You heard him.

Prepare to return
to the surface.

Oh, man, that's
all we ever do

is go up
and down,

up and down.

It sounds like
the perfect assignment

for a couple of yo-yos.

I made a funny.

Aah!
Aah!

Aah!
Aah!

Oh, no!

You were supposed
to come up

behind the museum.

Sorry, boss.

Missed it
by that much.

APRIL: Whoa!

MICHELANGELO:
Hang on, April.

We're going
to catch a curl!

Cowabunga!

Next time,
let's just take a cab, ok?

[BEEP BEEP]

Yes, master splinter?

There are reports
of strange creatures

in the natural history
museum, Leonardo.

LEONARDO: We'll check it
out, sensei.

APRIL: But what about
the TV show?

Sorry. This is
more important.

Quickly,
before we're seen!

Hey, you suppose old tin teeth
and his trogs are in here?

Whoa!

Does that
answer your question?

Blast them!

Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa!

Why is it that
our times together

always wind up like this?

Hey! They just trashed
the amphibian exhibit!

That does it.

No more Mr. nice turtle.

Let's get 'em!

Turtle power!

Cowabunga!

Hyah!

Aah!

Foolish turtles!

Did you really think

you could beat
a ninja master?

Ohh!

The thought
had crossed my mind.

Say your prayers,
lizard face.

That's turtle face
to you.

Aah!

How's that
for poetic justice?

Uhh!

GUARD: Hey, what's
going on here?

Let's see.
First things first.

At last--the solar
benite is mine.

And finally, myself.

And uh-1,
and uh-2, and...

Whoa!

There's nothing
like the smell

of a new robot interior.

Now to test
the stun ray.

Hey! That's
government property!

What are you doing?

That's ok. Take it
for a test spin.

Aah!
Aah!

It works like a charm.

Looks like we came
to the right place.

Stop chattering
and grab a weapon.

They're right behind us.

Ha ha. It's turtle bashing time.

There they are!

Look out!

Warthog power!

Would you move it!
Come on! Let's go.

Come back here,
you freaks.

Hmm. This gives me
an idea.

Hey, where'd
everybody go?

Aah!

Ow!

Look out.
A monster.

Bebop,
you imbecile.

Never mind.

I'll
take care them.

Great. Where's John Wayne
when we need him?

Oh, wow!
Major brainstorm.

You have to come out
sometime, turtles.

En garde, can-head!

You're all mixed up.

I'm the one
who wears the mask.

Got you now, dude.

Aah!

Ohh, what a concept--

medieval
break-away threads.

Turtle toe-jam,
coming up.

Ugh.

Aah!

Oohh!

There,
in the window!

It's the turtles!

The turtles?
Terrific!

With this
on the news,

everyone will watch
on trial tonight.

And that means
huge ratings.

Return to
the technodrome.

I have no further
need of you.

This is fun!

I think
I'll keep this

after I dispose
of the turtles.

Let me at 'em.

Looks like
a standoff, shredder.

So it seems,

but not for long.

Let go of me,
you metal-faced maniac.

He's got April.

I've always admired your
quick grasp of a situation.

Surrender, or else.

What now,
fearless leader?

There's no choice.

We can't let him
hurt April.

[SIGH] You win,
shredder.

We give up.

That's right,
turtles.

I win,

and you lose.
Ha ha ha.

It's taps
for you, turtles.

Maybe it's time we looked into
a new line of work, guys.

[COMMUNICATOR
SIGNALS]

KRANG: Come in,
shredder.

What perfect timing.

I'm just about to
destroy the turtles.

Oh, no, you don't!

I want that pleasure
to be all mine.

What are you saying?

I'm saying,
let them go.

I have the robot now,

and I intend to destroy them
on national television.

I won't! I won't!
I won't!

You will, you will,
you will!

Or I'll come looking
for you in this thing.

You never let me have any fun.

Rock steady,
bebop,

fall back.

Huh?

But, boss...

You heard me.

Now!

Don't look now,
guys,

but I think we just
got a reprieve.

Let's get 'em!

You may think
you've won, turtles,

but you've lost.

Watch it!
Hey!

Are you guys
all right?

Oh, fine...

Considering that we just
got our shells stomped.

I don't get it.

Shredder
had us cold,

and he let us go.

It's definitely
bizarro.

He's up to something.
But what?

Krang told him
to back off.

He's looking for you,
too.

Krang's up here, too?

Aw, this has gotta be
I-hate-turtles day?

We'd better hurry.
We've got less than an hour

before the on trial show
starts.

Oh, no! We forgot all
about being on TV.

Shredder's gone. We may as
well go ahead and do it.

Come on. We'll
sneak out the back way.

Thanks, guys.
We'll take it from here.

You guys can talk to
Kellerman from down here.

You ok,
Michelangelo?

You look
kind of nervous.

W-who me, n-nervous?

Wh-what a bogus concept.

Yike!

RAPHAEL: Come on,
Michelangelo.

It's only a TV show.

Yeah. Just forget that 100 million
people will be watching you.



Ok. It's showtime.

And now, welcome once
again to on trial,

starring
Clayton Kellerman.

Ok, fruitcakes,

tonight it's
turtles on trial.

So, turtles, tell me
why you're too cowardly

to be in the studio
with me.

RAPHAEL: Go on, Donatello.
Tell him.

Well, you see,
it's like this--

uh...Oh...

Oh, no, I was afraid
this might happen.

Aah!
Aah!

Ha ha ha!

Now I'll find
those turtles.

You say you're trying
to help people,

and yet you just trashed
the natural history museum.

That wasn't us.

It was shredder
and his mutants.

Yeah, sure,
and I'm the tooth fairy.

This will make
television history.

You don't understand.

We're trying
to save the world

from an invasion by an alien
brain from dimension x.

Oh, come on. That's
a little hard to swallow.

What is, the invasion the
brain, or the dimension x?

Hey, I'll ask
the questions here,

you abnormal amphibians.

Clayton's making
mincemeat out of them.

SHREDDER: Krang will fail.
I'm sure of it.

And I'm going
to be there

to laugh at him
when he does!

Come on!
Let's go!

And if you're
such nice guys,

how come
you carry weapons?

Yeah!
Yeah!

Hey, dude,

maybe you'd like to try defending
the earth for a while!

[RUMBLE]

What was that?

[ON LOUDSPEAKER]
Turtles, come out and play!

That
sounds like krang.

He must have been
taking voice lessons.

Wow, he can
really project.

Come on, turtles.
We're needed.

We fight
for truth, justice,

and a bigger slice
of the pizza pie.

Ok, krang. Put 'em up,
you blob of brains.

Uh, maybe you'd care
to rephrase that, Leonardo?

You were saying?

I was saying--

duck!

That's it, turtles.

Struggle!

It will make my victory
all the sweeter.

Aah!
Whoa!

Don't look now,
compadres,

but I think we're
a little bit outgunned.

Tell me about it.

Custer didn't have it this bad.

Aah!

Hey! Get that thing
out of here.

You're ruining
my show.

Uppity human, I'll
teach you some manners.

Aah!

Gotcha!

Oh, you've come
out of hiding.

Yeah. Lucky for you.

Ow!

Now remember, amphibians.
I've got the solar benite,

and you, my friends,
are history!

Oh, no!

This isn't
really happening.

What in--

now's our chance.

Ouch!
Ow!

Wow! Superchuks,
do your thing.

LEONARDO: Nice work,
Michelangelo.

Here's
my contribution.

Uh-oh.

Hey!

Shredder, you incompetent,
staggering cretin!

Help! My ganglion
is stuck in some chewing gum.

Ow! You...

They got away.

Thank goodness
you're all right.

Hey, you saved
my life, turtles.

Yeah, I guess
we don't look

like such bad guys
now, right, amigo?

Look, just tell people
the truth about us.

That's all we ask.

I'm sorry, fellas.

But I've got a reputation
to maintain,

and I didn't get it
by being Mr. nice guy.

You mean you're going to
keep on badmouthing us?

Hey, pal,
that's show biz.

Ciao.

Oh, man.
What a scuzzbucket!

Well, at least you've
got the videotape

of us tangling
with shredder.

Right. That'll prove
we're not villains.

Sorry, guys,

but my camera was totaled
during the battle.

Our name is still mud
in this city.

Total bummer,
dudes.

Some days it just doesn't pay
to come out of your shell.
