[ticking]

Okay, dudes,
so where's Raphael
with those pizzas?

I'm having
a mega-munchie
attack.

Maybe he forgot.

When a turtle promises
to pick up dinner,

you can bet your shell
on it he'll deliver...
I hope.

Wow. Time sure flies
when you're watching
a great art film.

Uh-oh, I nearly forgot.

It's my turn to pick up dinner.
Oh, where's a cab
when you need one?

Yo, taxi!
[whistles]

Ah, who needs ya?

[horn honks]
[brakes screech]

Ya-ah-ah!

Watch where you're
walkin', twerp!

[shouting]

Whoa-oa-oa!

Out of the way!
Out of the way!
Oh, no!

Well, what do you know?
Vinnie's.

[chuckles]
I've got to remember
this shortcut.

All set, Mr. Big.
I swiped that, uh, thing

from the lab
without a hitch.

[Man]
It's called
a transmographier.

Now, get over
to Pier 53

and kidnap that
premier of Vadeem.

Soon that
transmographier

will exchange
your brain with his.

[chuckling]

Gee, that's a lousy trick
to play on a premier.

But what if my brain gets
stuck in that guy's body?

[Man]
You should be
so lucky.

Once you're thinking
for Vadeem,

you'll sign all of his
oil deeds over to me.

But if he's got my brain,
how's he gonna learn
to write his name?

I'll enroll him
in night school.

Now, hurry and get
down to the dock.
Right, Mr. Big.

Hold it!
Stop!
[tires screech]

What's wrong?

I want to pick up
a couple of pizzas.

Go back to that pizzeria
we just passed.

Vinnie's?
Sure thing.

Don't forget, pal,
the meter's still running.

Oh, great.
An empty cab.

Okay, just
drop me off at--

You already told me, buddy.
I ain't stupid, you know.

[Raphael]
Hey, not so fast!
Whoa-oa!

First you tell me
to step on it,

then you tell me
to slow down.

Make up your mind,
will ya?
[grunting]

Do I have to pay extra
for the thrill ride?

No, but you do
have to pay extra
for them pizzas.

This ain't no
delivery service,
you know.

Big-city cab drivers.
Don't you just love 'em?

Okay, cabbie, I'm back.
[grunts]

Hey!
[sputtering]
The cabbie's gone,

along with
the “transfrogamier.”

The boss is
gonna k*ll me!

[horn honking]
Move it, lady!
This ain't a parking lot!

Whoa-oa!

You gonna drive that thing
or put a fence around it?

Soon they'll be giving
driver's licenses
to chimpanzees.

I think
they already did.
Oh, no!

[tires screech]
[shouting]

[shouting]

[whirring]
That's it!

I've had it
with you cabbies!

[gasps]
On second thought...

“Live and let live,”
I always say.

[coughing, cabbie's voice]
What's this?

I didn't hear nothin'
about a fog alert.

Hey, buddy,
you okay in there?

[Raphael's voice]
Are you sure you didn't
get your driver's license

in a box
of popcorn?

Quit complainin'.
You're alive, ain't ya?

I think so.
Then get in the cab

and try to remember
that passengers
ride in the back.

Lucky for us I'm such
a terrific driver.

Now, where was it
you were headed, pal?

Just drop me
at the next zoo.

[April]
Well, so that's
the premier of Vadeem.

[Burne]
That's him, April.
Every other news channel

has struck out trying to
get an interview with him.

I hear he's
not only single,
he's a billionaire!

Which, of course, means
nothing to me.
I'll just bet.

Now, look, look, look.
He's leaving from Pier 53
on his private yacht.

I want your interview
with him on tonight's


Me, interview
the premier of Vadeem?

Unless you'd rather
do a story on ragweed
with Vernon.

I'm on my way.

How could you be
so stupid?

You know how much
that transmographier

means for this
operation.

How could you
lose it?

Well, you see, boss,
I got real hungry.

You ate it?
No. I stopped
for a pizza.

A pizza?
That does it!

Put me down
this instant!

Ouch!

Now lift me
up again!

Now, where did you see
the transmographier last?

It was, uh, um...

In the cab!
Yeah, that's it!

I left it
in the cab!

Now, listen to me
and listen good.

You've got
exactly 1 hour

to find that cab,
understand?

Heck, that shouldn't
be so hard.

There's only 4 million
of them in the city.

“Only 4 million
of them”?

Hey, if he
was a genius,

he wouldn't be doing
this kind of work.

Right, Vinnie.
Okay, catch you
later, dude.

Well, what did Vinnie say?
Was Raphael at
his pizzeria?

Uh-huh, but he split
over 2 hours ago.

Something must've
happened to him.
[clattering]

Hey, cancel the call
to the Bureau of
Missing Turtles.

Here he comes now.

Okay, guys,
who gets the pepperoni
and who gets the onions?

It's an intruder!

And the dude's wearing
Raphael's duds!
Jump him!

[karate yells]

All right, you,
come out from under there,
real slow.

Okay. So I was
a little late
with the pizzas.

Don't you think you guys are
overreacting just a little?

Never mind that.
Tell us who you are.

Isn't it obvious?
I'm Raphael,

a Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtle, and...

and definitely
the looker
of the group.

The dude really thinks
he is Raphael.

Is this one of
Master Splinter's tricks?

Run a surprise
ninja attack
on Raphael?

Well, I'm on to you.
It didn't work.

Hey.
How could he know
about Master Splinter?

This whole thing is
totally “mondo bizarre-o.”

Okay, mister,
then who am I?

You're the brainiac
of the group.

As for me, I think
I've just entered
the turtle twilight zone.

[horn honking]
[cabbie's voice]
Where'd you learn to drive?

On a Coney Island
roller coaster?

Hey, fella,
this ain't
a parking lot!

Mind if I make
a buck here?

Oh, please be
careful, driver.

The cake is for
my wife's 40th birthday.

Sure, sure.
Listen, pal,

I'm gonna have to
charge you extra
for the cake.

Excess luggage,
you know.
Fine, fine.

Just get both of us there
in one piece, please?

Whoa-oa!

No sign of that cab
yet, Mr. Big.

Well, keep looking.

[engine revs,
tires screech]

There it is, boss!
I found it!

Quick, let me see,
let me see!

See? There it is,
the one that says

“Oscar's Cab Service.”

Follow that taxi!
Cut him off!

Oh, there's
my apartment house.
We made it.

We got him, boss!

My birthday cake is ruined.
My wife will k*ll me.

I'll tell you what, pal--
You can forget about
the tip.

Little Huey,
you'll pay for this!

I know.
Cake always goes
straight to my hips.

Hey, cabbie,
you free?

Sure.
Where to, Mac?

We'll tell you
when we get there.

So, uh,
how you doing,
uh, Raphael?

I'm doing fine.
You're the ones
who are acting weird.

Oh, no, dude.
We're cool.
If you are.

Speaking of weird,
there's old Vernon.

This is Vernon Fenwick
with a live interview

from the Meridian
Mind Institute,

where a theft
has taken place.

Will you fill us in
on the details, Professor?

Someone stole
our transmographier.

Is it true
that it can make

brain switches
between 2 people?

Yes, but it has
a major flaw.
Once it's been triggered,

it goes into a random
self-destruct mode.

Now, in the wrong hands,
it could pretty much blow up
half the city.

[Vernon]
You mean that
someone could be

carrying around
a ticking b*mb
and not know it?

Exactly.
But first these
warning lights

would begin
to flash.

After that,
we have no
way of knowing

when it will
explode.

Hey.
Somehow Raphael

got involved with
this transmographier.

His mind got switched
with whoever that guy is.

You mean that dude
really is Raphael?

Well, in a way.
See, Raphael's
mind is trapped

inside that guy's body,
only he doesn't know it.

Why don't we just ask him
where the real Raphael is
so he can take us to him?

Because he wouldn't know
what you're talking about.

Right now he thinks
he's a Ninja Turtle.

Well, so, like,
what do we do?

Well, we try to get
our hands on that
transmographier blueprint

and see what I can do
to change him back.

[horn honking]
Come on, you jerks!
Move it!

Keep looking for
that transmographier.
It's got to be here.

Okay, fellas,
enough sightseeing.

Where to?
Take us to Pier 53.

Pier 53.
Right.

[engine revs]

There it is.
I found it.

Gee.
These little lights
weren't twinkling before.

Oh, who cares?
Now, we grab
the premier,

and all that
nice, greasy oil

will be mine!

Boy, it's a good thing
I gassed up the turtle van.

Hey, you guys!
wait up!

Sorry, fella--
uh, Raphael.

We have to get to
that lab in a hurry.

[breathing heavily]
Okay. On second thought,
you guys go ahead.

I'll catch up with you.
Man, I don't get it.

This morning I spent


and I wasn't
even winded.

You probably
overdid it, dude.
No problemo. Hop on.

Thanks, Michelangelo.

So, guys, who are we
rescuing this time?

A real close friend.

Then let's make
turtle tracks!

Turtle power!

[tires screech]
Hang on!

Whoa!

What is it with
you passengers?

Everybody wants to
ride up front.

[seethes]

[horn honks]

Raphael, is that you?

Are you talkin'
to me?

Raphael, it is you.
Sorry, lady.

There ain't no Raphael
on this ship.

There's definitely
something strange
going on around here.

I'd better contact
the Turtles.

Yeah, April,
what's up?

Maybe I'm losing my mind,
but I just saw Raphael
driving a cab.

So that's where he is.
Then it was Raphael?

Well, yeah,
on the outside,

but not on the inside.
Huh?

Well, uh, I'll
explain later.
Where is he heading?

I don't know,
but I'm on his trail.

Don't let him
out of your sight.

We've got to make a stop
at the Meridian Laboratories.

We've got to get the blueprints
for that transmographier.
Let's go, Turtles.

[karate yells]

Yaah!
Oy, vey!

Uh, good move, Raphael.

We need someone
to stay outside
and be a lookout.

Uh, y-yeah,
well, sure.

That's...
That's why I did it.

Luckily Raphael's cab
led right to the pier where
the premier keeps his yacht.

I might get that
interview after all.

Coming through.
Out of the way, lady.

Wha...
Where are you
taking the premier?

Precisely my question too.
Where are you taking me?

Uh, we're going to show you
the sights of the city.

Sorry, but I refuse to
go anywhere with you.

Premier, I think we're
about to change your mind.

Literally.
[chuckling]

They're kidnapping him!

All right,
get going!

Hold on. I got to
charge you double for
an extra passenger.

All right!
Just get us out
of here, and fast!

Geez, everybody's
in such a hurry.

The premier of Vadeem
has just been abducted,

and Raphael was
driving the cab!

[horn honking]

Hey, boss, these lights
are starting to twinkle
like crazy.

Why are you
telling me this?

I can't be bothered
with some stupid lights!
[siren wailing]

[cabbie's voice]
Oh, great.
It's the cops.

I'm warning you,
you will pay for this!

You sure will. I get
a ticket, it's coming
out of your pocket.

It's the cops,
all right.
Lose them!

Okay,
but just so you know,

losing cops is


Don't negotiate,
just do it!

Cowabunga!
That's some awesome
driving, bud!

Uh, I mean
Raphael.

Lucky for us our buddy
was brain-switched
with a cab driver.

Yeah. Feels like I was
born behind the wheel
of one of these things.

Some turtles have
all the luck.

I was born behind one
of those little castles
in an aquarium.

Oh, and now for
the bad news.

It looks like the
transmographier is
running out of time.

[siren wailing]

Now the police think
Raphael is part of
the kidnapping plot.

I've got to notify
the others!
[device beeps]

Leonardo here.
It's Raphael.
He's in big trouble!

So what else is new?
A couple of th*gs

kidnapped the premier
of Vadeem,

and Raphael is driving
the getaway cab!

Me, driving
a getaway cab?

That's crazy.
I'm right here driving
the turtle van.

If we don't find that
cabbie fast, we're
all in big trouble.

Right, as in,
“kablooey.”

Please hurry. We're
crossing the intersection
of Broadway and 13th.

We're on the way
to intercept you.

Just don't get
too close to that cab.

It could blow up
at any moment.

Okay, we're here.
Quick.

Pull into that
warehouse.

You guys are
serious, ain't ya?

[siren wailing]

The cab is gone.
It's disappeared
into thin air!

Okay, out you go.
Why did you bring me here?

'Cause we got a little
foreign exchange
to take care of.

This gadget is
going to exchange

Little Huey's
brain for yours.
[chuckling]

Since I'm gonna
be in there,

I'm glad you're such
a neat dresser.

I beseech you,
as a citizen

of this great nation,
you must help me.

Look, pal,
I'm only the cabbie.
I don't get involved.

Okay, Mac,
just hand over
the fare,

plus that bonus
for ditching the cops,
and I'm history.

You're history,
all right.

Oscar's Cab Service
is about to be

permanently put
out of business.

[chuckling]

Hey, April,
looking good!

Who is that?

It's Raphael.
He's just bulked up
a little.

Yeah, the dude's
looking awesome,
don't you think?

Yes, I, uh,
hardly recognize him.

[karate yells]

Just go along
with it, okay?

It is Raphael,
uh, deep down.
Wait a minute.

I saw that report
about the stolen
mind-switcher gadget--

the trans... trans...

Mographier.
Right.

See, I figure Raphael
and this guy got zapped

at the same time,
and their brains
are switched.

But if that thing's
been triggered,

then it's
a time b*mb!

Yeah, that's why I borrowed
the blueprints from the lab.

I'm looking for
a way to disarm it.

So where's
that taxicab?

I lost it.
I have no idea
where it went.

[karate yells]

Bring on those creeps!
I'm ready for 'em!

Look, pal, nobody
stiffs Oscar.

Now, hand
over that fare,
or I'll... I'll...

You'll what?

I'll take this.
No!

Not the transmographier!
Give it to me!

[beeping]
Whoa!
What's that noise?

Be careful!
Don't drop it!

Now it's beeping.
It wasn't doing that when
I stole it from the lab.

Will you shut up?

First kidnapping,
now swiping things
that beep.

I think there's something
rotten in Brooklyn.

So what are you
gonna do about it?

How weird.

I suddenly got this feeling
I'm a ninja master.

Ee-yah!

“Ee-yah”?

Where did that come from?
Sure sounded good, though.

Take care of
that clown!
Right, boss!

[shouting]

You leave my strong-arm
goon alone!

Ya-hah!

[both groaning]

You are incredible!
A genuine black-belt!

What do you know?
I guess my body's got
a mind of its own.

Let's get out of here.
Quick, into the cab!

Hang on, fella.
You're about to get
the ride of a lifetime.

And because it's you,
I won't even turn on
the meter.

Oh, no!
[tires screeching]

There's the taxicab!
And there go
the kidnappers!

Oh, we can't
lose 'em this time.

[horn honking]

You sure you can stay
on their tail, Raphael?

Piece of cake.
I've got it!

I've found the way to
disarm that transmographier.

Totally turbo, dude!

But what do you say
we find it first?

Drive this baby,
Raphael!

Drive!
You got it!

Hang on!

Whoa-oa!

Oh, dear!
No-o-o!

Look out!
[beeping]

[device humming]

What's going on?
I feel so strange.

Me too.

But I got more important
things to think of,

like who's gonna pay
for the damage?

Raphael,
is that you?

Sorry, guys.
I guess I lost
control of the van.

The van?
You were driving
the van?

No, I was driving
a pumpkin on the way
to Cinderella's ball.

Raphael!
It is you!

Boy, you guys are
acting awfully weird.

The transmographier!
Where is it?

You mean this thing?

Oh, that's it,
all right.

And that's just
how you turn off
the self-destruct chip.

You crush it.

Fella, you are one
dynamite cabbie.
Huh?

Let me out of here!

Sure, we'll let you out,
once the police escort
gets here.

Talk about a scoop!
Just in time for
the 11:00 news!

I remember you--

the young lady who
wanted an interview.

That's me, Mr. Premier.
And you shall have it.

Shall we say over
a candlelit dinner
aboard my yacht?

I'll bring the candles.

Look!
There's Oscar now!

As mayor, I wish to
thank you for your
heroic actions

in rescuing
the premier of Vadeem.

It's cabbies like you
who are the heart

of our fair city.

Thanks, Mayor.
If you need me again,
just whistle.

Like this.

Way to go,
Oscar!

Now, explain it

I was really a cabbie
