[MICHELANGELO]
I'm telling you,
I saw some guys down here.

[DONATELLO]
So? They were probably
maintenance men.

[MICHELANGELO]
No way, bud.

They looked more
like businessmen.

Michelangelo,
what did we tell you

about eating jellybean
and sausage pizzas

before you go to sleep?

I didn't dream this,
compadre!

They were right here!

[CLATTER]

Everyone, be careful.

Yeah...they might be
autograph-hunters.

Okay, boys.
Get to work.

[JACKHAMMER]

Nobody make a sound.

They can't do that
to our sewers!

Yah!

[LEONARDO]
Heeyah!

[MICHELANGELO]
Cowabunga!

Just what do you think
you're doing?

These aren't your sewers.

Yeah? Well, it ain't
yours either, spunky.

And unless you can show us
an official city I.D.,

I suggest you get
out of here.

I've heard
about you turtles.

You're nothing but a bunch
of trouble-makers.

And in a few days,
all this will belong

to Donald J. Lofty.

You green pests haven't
seen the last of me!

Well, there's a pleasant
thought for the day.

Guys, I think we have
a bit of a problem
on our hands.

[BEBOP]
What are you doing, boss?

None of your business.

Aw, gee, we just
wanna help.

[KRANG]
You can help by getting back
to your cleaning duties!

With this new
super-charged mutagen,

we can create
an entire army
of super-mutants.

No force on Earth
will be able to stop us.

We'll rule the world!

We're conquer the universe!

Oh, goody!

You klutz.

Look what you've done!

Just for that,
you'll clean

all of the Technodrome's
lower decks!

Aw, all of them?

Now we'll have to
repair this electrode

before we can proceed
with the experiments.

[BEBOP]
Boy, it's going
to take us weeks

to get this place
cleaned up.

It sure would go quicker
if we had some help.

What we need is someone
to do all our work

like the boss has.

Yeah, but the boss
has a pair of--

[BOTH]
Mutants!

Ooh, ooh! If we could
get our hands

on a little of that
new super mutagen...

We could have
our own mutants!

We'd never
have to work again.

Aw, but we ain't got
no animals to mutate.

Yes, we do.
My pet Slash.

You got a pet?

How come
you never told me?

Uh, oh, well, uh,
you'll see.

[APRIL]
Welcome to another edition
of Face the Issues,

the show that puts the issues
right in your face.

My guest on location today
is Fenton Q. Hackenbrush,

developer for
Donald J. Lofty
Enterprises.

Mr. Hackenbrush,
since you took charge,

Lofty Enterprises has begun
some rather unusual projects,

such as the controversial
space scow,

designed to carry millions
of tons of trash into space.

Yes, Ms. O'Neil.

This is our solution
to the city's

mounting garbage problem.

And what about
the mysterious
sewer project

Lofty Enterprises
is involved with?

Yeah, nutball.
What about it?

Nothing mysterious about it.

We've offered to refurbish
the city's entire sewer system

in exchange for the rights
to develop a small portion

of the sewers
for commercial use.

Huh, a "small portion"?

He said it was all going
to belong to Donald Lofty.

In addition,
it will help to flush out

the worst menace
in the city,

the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles.

They're a bunch
of reptilian delinquents

and we demand that
they be put behind bars.

Or at least
in a really big
glass bowl.

Okay, that settles it.

[SHUTS OFF TV]
This jerk
doesn't get to be

a charter member
of our fan club.

Yeah, you think
that dude's trying

to pull a fast one
on the city?

He's up to something
and we've got to find out

what it is.

Here, Slash.

Daddy has a friend
for you to meet.

[ROCKSTEADY GASPS]

Boy, now I see why
you never told nobody.

The boss would
really be ticked

if he found out
you had a pet turtle.

[BEBOP]
You got the goop? Quick!

We gotta pour it on.

Slash? Where'd he go?

This'll work.
He loves this.

Here Slashy washy.

See? It's his favoritest thing
in the whole world.

Now to give him
a shot of the juice.

Whoops!
Used a little too much.

Wow!

Daddy?

What am I doing here?
What's going on?

We're going to work now.
That's what's going on.

No. Why should
I work for you?

Look, Slash.

My b--binky!

My most favorite thing
in the whole world!

We're going to turn
this whole area

into luxury condominiums.

The city will be
without a sewer system.

And we'll be out of a home.

The city is so overcrowded,
there's no place left to build.

Here we can provide the finest
in subterranean living.

Now, here's where
we put the parking lot.

[RAPHAEL]
That's what you think, bub!

Didn't I tell you

these turtles
were a menace?

You're trying to rip off
the city, dude!

And when they
find out about it,

your little plan
will be sunk.

[RAPHAEL]
Yeah, now beat it!

The sewer's too good
for the likes of you.

It's time to do something
about those turtles!

There. You look
just beau-ti-ful.

My binky, where is it?

You can have it again...

After you get rid
of all the cobwebs.

Kind of pushy,
ain't you?

Gee, he sure
takes after you.

Well, you know what they say.

"Like father, like mutant."

[GOOFY LAUGH]
My binky!

[GROWLS]

That's enough for now.

You can see it again
after you sweep the floor.

You guys are starting
to make me mad.

[DEEPLY INHALES]

[COUGHING]

[BEBOP]
Uh-oh.

Where's my binky?

Uh, I seem to have
misplaced it.

W--w--what?

I want my binky!

And you'd better find it!

Ugh!

Ooh, now you've done it.

Uh-oh.

Shredder's Shaolin swords.

We gotta stop him
before he wrecks
the whole joint!

I think he's
too strong for us.

Then we gotta get rid
of him somehow.

Get that portal fired up.

Where's my binky?
I want it!

There it is.
It went that way.

It better be!

Mama!

[SIGHS]
At least we got
rid of him.

Yeah, but now we'd better
clean up this mess

before the boss catches us.

Okay, where's my binky?

I'll tear this
whole place apart
until I find it!

Where's my binky?

[SIRENS IN THE DISTANCE]

[LOUDLY GRUNTS]

[ALARM RINGS]

[PHONE RINGING]

April here.

April, it's Donatello.

Can you meet us
in ten minutes

at The Flying Pizza Inn?

I'm on a deadline, guys!

But we've got proof that
Fenton Q. Hackenbrush's

sewer plan is a fraud.

Oh, this had better be good.

Now, have you four boys
got the plan?

You've got to commit
a daring crime

we can blame
on the turtles,

so if they blab
to the authorities,

no one will believe them.

Now, I want you men
to do a bank robbery.

But we don't know
how to crack a safe.

All right,
so maybe a hold-up.

Uh, we don't have a g*n.

Well, what crimes
do you know?

Eh, embezzlement?

Oh, who ever heard

of Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtle embezzlers!

Credit card fraud?

Those aren't daring crimes!

I've got to ruin those
turtles' reputation somehow.

[CRUMBLING]

[CAR HORN BLARING,
TIRES SCREECHING]

What where you are going!

Who is he?

He's not one of those
other turtles.

Hey, you! Come here.

I want to talk to you.

Have you got my binky?

Your binky?

It's my--my palm tree.

I--I want it!

Uh, no, I don't have it.

But I could get you one.

You could?
Of course!

And a great big
palm tree, too!

A whole bunch of them!

Why, I could even set you up
with a condo in Florida.

What's a Florida?

It's a magical place
where palm trees

grow right out
of the ground.

And I suppose you want me
to do something for you.

That's it!

I want you to go
to the Freedom Bell.

The what?

The Freedom Bell,

the city's most
beloved landmark.

What are you,
some kind of foreigner?

As a matter of fact, I am.

Just go there and smash it!

And smash
everything you can

on your way there.

Then meet me
at this address

and we'll get you
your palm trees.

Just go, smash!
Have fun with it!

This is great!

When those turtles get blamed
for wrecking the Freedom Bell,

nobody will believe them!

I'll smash anything
to get a palm tree!

Eyuh!

[LEONARDO]
Come on, we've got
to be on time

for our meeting with April.

[A LA HUMPHREY BOGART]
Then we'll blow the lid
off this sewer caper.

[NORMAL VOICE]
Oh, I feel so hard-boiled
in these trench coats.

Hey, guys...
I'm stuck!

[DONATELLO]
Boy, is it ever caught.

Don't rip it!

You'd better take it off.

Uh, guys...
[COMMOTION]

Look, it's the Turtles!

What are they
so miffed about?

They're the ones
who smashed my car!

They're the ones
who wrecked my store!

We are?

They sure think we are.

Run!

[DONATELLO]
This doesn't make sense!

We didn't do any
of those things.

Try telling them that.

Here they come!

There, just like new.

What the devil's
going on here?

What happened to this door?

Um...

I slipped on a banana peel
when I came in?

Krang, get up here!

You two have got a lot
of explaining to do!

Those Turtles said
they'd be here by now.

Where are they?

[CAR HORN HONKS]

A palm tree!

You're not a palm tree.

[SNIFFING]

I don't know what it is,
but it sure smells good.

[CRASH]
Rah!

[APRIL]
There you are!

Where did you get
that stupid disguise?

Hey, I'm on a deadline.

I don't have
all night to waste.

And I've got to cover
the launching

of the space scow
at dawn.

Will you quit eating
and talk to me?

What's this hot story
you've got?

[GROWLING, SLURPING]

Don't just look at me.
I need some answers.

Will you cut it out?

I didn't come all this way
just to watch you eat!

Back off, lady!

O--okay.

Don't have a fit!

[SCREAMS]

What's gotten into him?

[SCREAMING]

Now I'm ready to go
smash the Freedom Bell.

And so,
that's what happened.

You mean you made your own
super-mutant turtle...

and didn't even tell us?

And then you
let him get away?

But he was wreckin' the joint.

Who cares?

We could have used
a mutant like that.

You're going to
have to get him back!

[BOTH GULP]

[DONATELLO]
Well, at least we got away
from that mob.

There's something mega fishy
about all this, dudes.

Hackenbrush must be trying
to ruin our reputation

so no one will believe us.

Hey, there's someone
who'll believe us.

Oh, no you don't!

Stay back!

What's the matter, April?

You know darn well
what the matter is!

Which one of you
thought it would be cute

to turn my van
into a sardine can?

What are you talking about?

We've been trying
to meet up with you.

Yeah, but this angry mob's
been chasing us all night.

Then that must have been
some other turtle.

Oh, great. Just what
this show needs,

another mutant turtle.

But he looked like you.

He even liked pizza.

Then he's been doing
all the stuff

we're getting blamed for.

And he said something about
smashing the Freedom Bell!

The Freedom Bell?

That unpatriotic dude!

I just hope I can get
another news van

in time to cover
the space scow launch.

[RAPHAEL]
All right, buster!
Hold it right there!

There ain't enough room
in this town

for five mutant turtles!

Oh, yeah?

There's only one
box turtle: me!

Yugh!

Yah!

Ah, gee, that was
my favorite bo.

[GROWLING]
Whoa!

[SPLASH]

[GRUNTING LOUDLY]

Whoa!

This is going to be
tougher than I thought.

You're giving turtles
a bad name, pal.

Whoa!

[YELLING]

[BELL TOLLS]

Uh-oh.

Catch it!

I can't believe
I'm doing this.

Now to find that man
and get my palm tree.

[LEONARDO]
Well--

[WINCES]
--we saved
the Freedom Bell.

[RAPHAEL]
Yeah, but we
wrecked our backs.

[DONATELLO]
We'd better get out
from under here.

[MICHELANGELO]
Whatever rings
your chimes, dudes.

Come on, let's stop
that gonzo turtle.

[PHONES RINGING]

[WOMAN]
Mr. Hackenbrush
isn't here right now.

He's with all the others
at the space scow launch

on the other side
of town.

Okay, but he'd better
have my reward!

[SHREDDER]
This Techno-wing

will get you there
in a hurry.

And don't come back
without that turtle!

Krang, the portal!

[HACKENBRUSH]
I'm telling you

those turtles
must be stopped!

They've been
on a rampage all night.

Why, I heard they even
destroyed the Freedom Bell.

And just how would you
know that, Mr. Hackenbrush?

Uh, well--

I have very good sources.

And isn't it true
there's a fifth turtle

who's been causing
all the destruction,

and that he's
your employee?

Preposterous!

What would I be doing
with a bunch of smelly turtles?

Why, I've never even seen
a turtle in my life.

I broke the bell
for you.

Now where's my reward?

[AWKWARD LAUGH]
Uh, do I know you?

[LEONARDO]
Come on, we've got
to find him.

Yeah, but what are we
going to do with him
when we find him?

[MICHELANGELO]
Check it out, dudes!

I swear I've never met
this turtle before
in my life!

[ANNOUNCER]
The trash is being loaded--

You lying creep!

It would serve you right
if I just stole

your stinking rocket
and trashed this whole city!

If he dumps
that rocket
on the city,

it'll be
a catastrophe.

Not to mention a mess.

[RAPHAEL]
More bad news.

Aw, nuts! It's just
the regular turtles.

Oh, yeah?

What's so regular
about us?

Under normal circumstances,
we'd just love to stick around

and pound your shells flat...

But we gotta find
that other turtle, Slash.

You're after
that maniac, too?

W--Whoa!

Hey, where you goin'?

Sorry, boys.
We want that turtle
worse than you do.

[ANNOUNCER]
Please clear
the service structure and pad

of all non-operational
personnel.

What's going on here,
Hackenbrush?

[STUTTERING]
Nothing, uh, Mr. Lofty.

[ENGINES IGNITING]

[LOFTY]
He's engaged
the manual controls!

Now to mess this city up.

[LEONARDO]
Somebody's going to
have to get on that rocket.

[MICHELANGELO]
Then what are we
waiting for, dudes?

Cowabunga!

It's the Turtles!

I thought you said
those turtles
were outlaws.

[APRIL]
His turtle's an outlaw.

My turtles are heroes!

You jerks just made
a bad move.

[YELLING]

We're going to
have to distract him

so I can get
to those controls.

April said he dug pizza.

[GRUNTING]

Yah!

[MICHELANGELO]
Pizza time, dude!

Give me that pizza!

Oh, no!

[GEARS MOVING]

[MICHELANGELO]
Whoooa!

I want that pizza!

What? No pizza?

You tricked me!

Everybody tricks me!

This is bad news, bud!

[WAILING]

Aw, now we're really
in trouble.

He smashed the controls.

The rocket will go
straight up forever.

Time to boogey!

You creeps!

Guys, I hope you're with us.

[MICHELANGELO]
Cowabuuuuungaaaa!

[SLASH]
This sure has been
a rotten day.

Binky!

Hurry up, Krang!
Lock it in!

[SHREDDER]
We have him!

That's what you think!

Get trashed!

Ah!

[SLASH]
Wee-hee-hee-hee-hee!

All right, Hackenbrush,

you've got some
explaining to do!

Do you know this guy
was going to wipe out

the whole sewer system
so he could build condos?

So, you were going to deceive
the whole city, were you?

This isn't the first time
you four have helped me.

I promise that
as long as I'm around,

the sewers will be safe.

And you...are fired!

[SIGHS]
The good ol' sewers

They may be smelly...

And damp...

And kind of disgusting.

[LEONARDO]
But they're our home.

How true, my wards.

The quality of a home
is not its size or opulence,

but the quality
of the people
who live there.

[DONATELLO]
Amen to that.

On the other hand, a clean,
dry penthouse apartment

would be nice for a change.
