[snoring]

[all snoring]

Oh! Look out, dude! No!

No!

Ouch!

So much for
my beauty sleep.

[groans]

What is wrong,
Michelangelo?

It's totally weird.

I keep having the same
crazy nightmare.

Well, that's what you get
for eating lox and cream cheese
pizzas before bedtime.

What was your dream about,
my student?

That's what so wacky,
Master.

I don't remember.

My mind's a total blank.

So what else is new?

This is no joking
matter, dude!

That dream nearly scared
me out of my shell.

Perhaps I can prod your memory
through hypnosis, my student.

Concentrate on
the medallion, Michelangelo.

Concentrate.

[chuckles]
Nothing personal,
sensei,

but that stuff never
works on--

[yawns]
...me.

You're in a deep sleep,
Michelangelo.

Now tell us your dream.

Whoa!

I see myself alone
on a desert island

that's made completely
of pizza!

Not your fantasy,
your dream!

Oh, that one.

Okay.

I'm a cute baby turtle...

being carried away
with my three bros
by this little dude.

Oh, no!
Talk about butterfingers!

We're falling!

And we landed
in the sewers.

[Splinter]
What else do you see,
Michelangelo?

[Michelangelo]
Whoa! Totally gross!

A lot of yucky green stuff.

[Splinter]
Hmm.
That must be the mutagen

that transformed all of us
into mutants.

[Michelangelo]
Wait a minute.

There's somebody else
down here.

It's...It's a baby lizard.

And he's crawling through
the grody, green goop, too!

Suddenly, I see
something else!

It's--it's this humongous dude
with a bad attitude.

Look out,
little lizard bro!

He's after you! Oh!

No!

You may awaken,
Michelangelo.

[snaps fingers]
You are quite
safe now.

Oh! Oh!
Oh, man!

It all seemed
so real.

Michelangelo, you have
been watching

way too many late-night
horror flicks.

Do not be so quick
to judge others,
Raphael.

What seems to be fantasy
often proves to be reality.

Now go back to sleep,
my students.

It has been
a long night.

Ha. "Go back to sleep,
he says.

Like it's real easy.

Yeah. Once I'm up,
I'm up.

Me, too.

[all snoring]

How can those dudes sleep
at a time like this?

I've gotta find out
who was with us

that day we flopped
into the sewer.

[groans]
Bummer.

I've been walking for hours,
but nothing looks familiar.

Whoa. Hold everything.

This looks like the same
sewer grate we tumbled through.

This is it.

I found the place
I've been dreaming about.

[alarm rings]

That's a burglar alarm.

[alarm continues]

[laughing]

Who says crime
don't pay!

I do! And I'm taking
you dudes in.

Oh, yeah? Lotsa luck,
fish-food breath!

[laughs]

All right, then,

we'll do it
the hard way.

Uhh!

Uhh!

I meant the hard way
for you, dude, not me.

Aah!

I'll stash the loot.

Okay. See you
at the hideout.

Whoa!

Oh! What have you done
to my store?

Uh, I...
redecorated it?

While I'm here.
I might as well buy
some fruit salad.

I don't have any fruit salad!

You do now.

This is April O'Neil
reporting live
from the Second City Bank

where another daring robbery
has just taken place.

This is the fifth major crime
in as many days.

Here's our ever-alert
chief of police.

Can you tell us
anything about this
robbery, Chief?

Gosh no. I was just
depositing my paycheck.

Mmm. Nothing like a hot
oatmeal pizza to start the day.

Have you guys seen
Michelangelo?

I thought
he was with Splinter

having that wacky
dream analyzed.

No. Master Splinter
hasn't seen him either.

I wonder where
he's disappeared to.

Well, he can't have
gone too far. Look.

All the pizzas
are still here.

He must have gone for a walk
to clear his head.

Well, that shouldn't
take too long.

Bummer, man.

Only three of those
robber punks,

and I let them
get away.

I must be losing my touch.

Move it or lose it!

Uhh!

It's the bank robber dude!

Hey! Come back
with that cash-ola!

Fat chance, fat-head!

That dude is one
gnarly skateboarder!

But he doesn't know
diddly about sewers.

That's a dead-end tunnel.

Whoa!

I gotta bail out of here!

Too late, dude...
whoever you are.

Mondo Gecko's the name,
and stealing's my game!

Yeah, well--
Hey, don't I know you
from somewhere?

Makes no difference,
turtle.

Either way, you're
about to be "shellacked."

I'm warning you, dude.

I am a Ninja master.

Gee, I'm shakin'
in my skin.

And now you're gonna
get nailed with my tail.

Whoa! Whoo! Whoo!

All right, dude.
enough games.

It's time to
wrap things up.

Only it's me who's
gonna do the wrappin'.

Huh?

It's been great,
but I gotta skate.

This is truly humiliating.

If my face wasn't green,
it'd be red.

Uhh! Uhh!

Now it's time to pull the plug
on that gecko lug.

Luckily it's easy to follow
a skateboard trail.

A-ha. Looks like
the dude hit the streets.

My turtle sense tells me
he's in that warehouse.

Besides, the skateboard tracks
lead right to it.

The bank robbery came off
without a hitch.

You boys did a fine job.

Gee, thanks, X.

That's Mister X to you.

What a creepazoid,

getting kids
to do his dirty work.

[Mr. X]
I have your
next assignment.

You're to hijack
an army truck,

carrying a devastating
new expl*sive device.

The military will
pay us a fortune
in ransom money

for its return.

This heist
will make me--

Uh...I mean
us...millionaires.

[laughs]
Did you hear that, Sluggo?

We're gonna be rich!

[laughs]

Whoa!
Ow!

Hey, cut it out!

I might have
to rob with you,

but I don't have
to dance with you.

[Mr. X]
Once we have
all that money,

we will be able
to plunder entire countries

instead of mere cities.

You'll need a box
of dynamite.

I'll give you further
instructions later.

You heard Mr. X.

You guys get
the dynamite,
and I'll wait here.

Right, Gecko.

Ready for
a rematch, Geek-o?

That's Gecko!

And this time I'll
finish you off.

I still say
you look familiar.

Are you sure we haven't
met before?

Of course we did.
At the end of Act One.

No, duh!

I mean, like,
a long time ago.

Hey! Where--Where'd that
turtle come from?

He just dropped in
to say good-bye.

Get him!
With pleasure.

Whoa!

Uhh!

Try again, dudes.

Or should I say duds.

You won't have a head
when we're done with ya!

And you won't
have any crates.

Gotcha!

Let's feed him
to the fishes.

[laughs]
Good idea.

How come all these
abandoned warehouses
have trapdoors?

But they don't
all have sharks.

Say good-bye,
Turtle.

No! Wait!
Uhh!

We better take him to Mr. X
and see what he wants us
to do with him.

Oh! What a party
pooper.

[struggling]

Dude, easy on the shell!

Uhh! Uhh!

I wonder what these
clowns are up to.

Not that there's much
I can do about it.

[Gecko]
Get a move on!

They army convoy will
be here any minute.

Aw! How come Sluggo
and me gotta do
the hard work?

'Cause Mr. X
put me in charge.

Yee-ow!

Take it easy, will ya?

One more bump like that,
and we're all chopped liver.

Okey-dokey!
The dynamite's planted.

Better stand back.

What's going on?

All right!

We got the expl*sives!

In you go, turtle.

Whoa! Uhh!

[all talking]

[starts engine]

[Gecko]
Eat my dust, dog faces.

Excellent!
My Turtlecom!

Yo, bros!
Send help pronto!

Michelangelo, what's wrong?

I've been turtlenapped
by some whackos

who just stole
a super expl*sive.

Quick. Tell us
your location.

I'm in an army transport truck
heading south on Highway--

Sorry, shellback!

Your call cannot be
completed as dialed.

[laughs]

Michelangelo!
Are you there?

Can you hear me?

Hey, guys, listen.
He's trying again.

Hi, guys.

Oh, man!

[Raphael]
It's only April.

Well, gosh. Thanks for
the incredibly warm greeting.

Sorry, April.
We were just talking
to Michelangelo.

He's in serious trouble.

[April]
Anything I can do?

[Leonardo]
Thanks anyway,
but we'll handle it.

I called to tell you
I'm on a hot story.

An army transport truck
was just stolen

with a top-secret expl*sive
on board.

Michelangelo
is also on board.

This could be
dangerous, April.

Stay away from that truck.

I appreciate
the advice, Leonardo.

Of course
I'll stay away.

[tires screech]

Yeah, sure I will.

Great. Now we've got
Michelangelo and April
to worry about.

Come on!
Let's go!

You guys wait here.

I'll check with Mr. X
in the hideout.

What--what do we do
with the truck?

Get rid of it.

I've got the neutron
diviner tracking device

calibrated to hone in on
Michelangelo's biogenetic
infrared code.

[Leonardo]
Which means?

If he's around here,
we'll pick him up
on the screen.

Like that?
Precisely.

[Leonardo]
Quick! What's his location?

[beeping]
A place called
Devil's Mountain.

[Raphael]
Then that's where
we're headed.

[Sluggo]
I've got an idea, Basher.

How about we get rid
of the truck and the turtle?

I don't think Mr. X is
gonna like that, Sluggo.

Hey, no problem.

We just tell him
the brakes failed.

I've gotta warn you:
fibbers never prosper.

Maybe not, but they still
make out better

than turtles going over
a thousand-foot cliff!

[laughs]

[Sluggo and Basher laughing]

[tires screeching]

You kids might not
wanna watch this part.

I think I'm gonna be
truck sick.

[tires screeching]

[laughing]

You cheeseheads!

I told you to
lay off the turtle!

You are such
a spoilsport.

And you're
such a dweeb.

[Michelangelo struggling]

Any minute now,

my entire life should
flash before my eyes.

I just hope there's
a cartoon in it.

I don't know why,

but something tells me
I gotta save this guy.

You're coming with me.

Uh, if you insist.

Whoa. Thanks, dude.

But how come
you saved me?

I don't know.

Something weird
came over me.

Whoa.

And all this time
I thought you were
a bad guy.

Oh, that's right.
I am.

Thanks for reminding me.
Now march!

I had to open
my big mouth.

[Leonardo]
Where's Michelangelo now,
Donatello?

He's disappeared
from the screen.

[Leonardo]
You mean
we lost him?

Maybe forever.
Look!

[Leonardo]
Oh, no!

It's the truck Michelangelo
was riding in.

Even his hard shell couldn't
have survived that crash.

[sniffles]
If only he were
all right.

I'd never make fun
of him again.

[beeping]

[gasps]
Look! His bleeper's
blipping again!

I mean his blip is
bleeping again!

He's back on top
of Devil's mountain.

How's that possible?

First he was at the top
of the mountain,

then at the bottom,

and now he's at
the top again.

That's Michelangelo
for ya.

He's got a lousy
sense of direction.

Thanks, fellas.
I overheard everything you said
on my Turtlecom.

Hey, no fair.
You were listening in.

Hey, I'm a reporter.
It's my job.

[tires screech]

Devil's Mountain,
here I come.

Okay, turtle, inside.

I must warn you.

I didn't bring a
hideout-warming gift.

Time is running out,
General.

Are you going to buy back
your expl*sive or what?

[General]
Oh, you fiend.
This is blackmail!

Hmm.

Blackmail is such
an ugly word.

I prefer rip-off.

I want $5 billion
and not a penny less.

You have exactly
seven minutes.

After that...kablooey.

Yes, Gecko?
What is it?

I caught this guy
snooping around
the warehouse, Mr. X.

An intruder, eh?

Let's have a look at him.

Bad time for a visit,
turtle.

No problemo.
I'll come back later.

Hmm.

This is nutzoid.

Now that dude
looks familiar, too.

And now I know why!

You're the one I've been
having dreams about!

Well, this dream
is about to become
your nightmare.

Gecko, this
shell-backed intruder
has seen too much.

Finish him off.

Uh, gee, Mr. X,
I'm sure he won't
spill the beans.

Yeah. I'm a pizza man,
myself.

Either you finish him,
or I finish you.

You heard the man, turtle.

I guess this is it.

Bummer. Don't I even
get a last request?

Well, yeah, I suppose so.
What is it?

Well, this pendant
belongs to my mother.

[sniffles]
Would you see that
she gets it back?

Pendant?
Yeah.

See how it shines?

[laughs]
You're wasting your time, pal.

That stuff
never works on me.

Where have I heard
that one before?

[snoring]

Ah, yeah.

All right, dude,
time's a-wastin.'

Fill me in on your
baby years.

[Gecko]
I remember being in
a dark place

with some baby turtles.

Then I crawled through this
icky green goo.

And then this guy
picked me up and took me
to his hideout

where I started to grow into
a half-boy half-mutant.

Mr. X became my mentor
and taught me everything
about breaking the law.

I've heard
just about enough.

Snap out of it, Gecko.

Hey. What happened?

See, all this time,
you thought you were bad.

But Mr. X
made you that way.

It wasn't your fault.

It wasn't?

No way.

We came from
the same sewer.

We're born to be
best buds, not enemies.

Gee, I never
thought about it that way.

Gecko.

I told you to
destroy the turtle,

not cozy up to him.

But he's practically family.

Basher, Sluggo,
destroy the intruder.

Run, Michelangelo!

Whoa!
Whoa!

On your feet,
you idiots!

Right, Mr. X.

[Mr. X]
You clumsy fool.
[ticking]

You triggered the device.

That proves it.

Never send a boy
to do a man's job.

I'll handle this myself.

Where are my turtle buds
when I really need 'em?

Turtle power!

Now that's what
I call service.

[all]
It's Turtle time!

Gecko, you betrayed me.

Cowabunga!

Ha. Now we're even.

[grunts]

Ups-a-daisy.

[grunts]

Looks like everything's
under control.

Not exactly, pal.

That expl*sive is gonna
turn us all into hamburgers.

Oh, Michelangelo!

You're all right!

At lest for
the next 12 seconds.

Correction.
Make that 10 seconds.

That device is
about to explode.

Darn. I should have
brought my camera.

What a dynamite story!

Oops.

You certainly
have a way with words.

Hmm. Now, which wire
should I snap?

Eeny, meeny, miny...

Eh, purple.

You did it, dude!

But how'd you know
to cut the purple wire?

Simple. 'Cause it
matches my eye mask.

Oh. Sounds scientifically
logical to me.

[sirens]
Listen,
it's the police!

I told them
what was going on.

Here. Give 'em back
this bank loot.

Thanks. The depositors
will be really grateful.

Well, since I'm not a part
of Mr. X's g*ng anymore,

I'll guess I'll be
moving on.

Hold on, dude.
Where are you gonna go?

I don't know.
Maybe I'll go back
to the sewers.

Epic! We can be neighbors!

[all]
Huh?

Tubeuloso, dude!

Our first sewer neighbor.

Hey, you could borrow
a cup of sugar
from us anytime.

You have chosen a very
nice lair, Gecko.

Thanks,
Master Splinter.

And thank you
for the furniture.

And it turns out
that Gecko and I

have been having
the same dream for years.

You've been dreaming
about each other?

How romantic.

I hated doing bad stuff,

because deep down,
it wasn't me.

I guess that's why I kept
saving your shell.

Bodacious, dude!

What have you learned
from all this, my pupils?

That we were wrong
to make fun of
Michelangelo's dream.

Precisely.

Hey, thanks to you guys,
I'm through with crime forever.

And if you ever need me,
just yell.

You dudes can finish
arranging the furniture.

Me and Gecko are gonna
do some righteous
sewer skateboarding.

All right!

[both]
Cowabunga!
