Michelangelo, that's
your sixth pizza

in less than an hour!

Have you ever thought
of calling Pizza Eaters
Anonymous?

Well, I don't know.
Do they deliver?

I think
you've had enough.

Hey, dude, I'm only eating
'cause I'm bored.

With Krang and Shredder
stuck in the Arctic,

it's definitely Dullsville
around here.

[sigh] I'd trade
a week's supply of pizza

for a little excitement.

Wha?
Whoa!

Bummer, dudes!

It's that creepazoid Krang!

He's invented
a pizza-grabbing module!

Uh, I seriously
doubt it.

The drill was stamped
"Made in New Jersey."

Come on, guys.
We'd better
check this out.

[jackhammer racket]

Scope it out, dudes.

That's what glommed
onto my pizza.

They're drilling for oil!

From somebody else's
storage tanks!

This gives
a whole new meaning

to the phrase
"self service."

Oh, we did it!
Bring the truck.

Those dudes
struck it rich!

This isn't oil.

It's antifreeze.

Totally bizarro!

Why would anyone
steal antifreeze
in August?

Excellent work,
Big Louie.

You're my kind
of slime ball.

Now, about
that antifreeze.

You get your antifreeze
when I get my diamond.

Ah, yes, the diamond.

Patience, Big Louie.

Shredder had to make
a little side trip.

Ha ha! Ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha!

Splendid. At this speed,
we'll be in the Florida swamps

in about 60 seconds.

Ooh! Ooh! Can we go
in one of those

glass-bottom boats,
Boss? Huh? Can we?

Huh? Huh? Can we?
Yeah.

[snort] And I want
to feed some allygators.

If you idiots don't
get ready to surface,

I'll feed you
to the alligators!

Aw! Just let him
try and borrow some
of my sunscreen.

[Krang]
Well? What's going on?

The antifreeze is ready.
Why aren't you?

Don't worry, Krang.

As soon as we find
that mutagen pool,

we'll fill
this mutashooter
with the stuff,

then go back to the city
and zap the Turtles with it.

Once we do, they will
become mindless sl*ves

and use their
muscle power

to help free us
from the ice.

I love it!
Hoo hoo hoo
ha ha ha!

Guys, this is
genuinely perplexing.

What would those
crooks want with all
that antifreeze?

Perhaps it is not
for themselves.

I can
sense the evil presence

of my eternal enemy:
Shredder.

Of course!
With the Technodrome
buried in the Arctic ice,

Krang would need antifreeze
to start the engines.

Lots of it.

You mean those crooks
are working for Krang?

It would seem
to be a strong
likelihood.

This gives me
a chance to use

my new satellite
monitors

to eavesdrop on Krang.

If I can just find
the right frequency...
[beeping]

Whoa! That's
the Turtlecom!

[beeping]

It's our swamp buddy
Napoleon Bonafrog.

Boy, am I glad
to see you fellers!

I'll patch him
onto the main screen.

That Shredder fella
just popped up in the swamp

with that Bebop
and Rocksteady,

and they're lookin'
for a mutagen pool!

How do you know?

See for yourselves!

[snort] It's here.
I smell something.

Ew! Me, too!

I think you forgot
to change your socks.
Stinky.

Imbecile! Use
the mutagen detector!

[beeping]

Hey!
I think I found it!

[chirruping]

[buzzing]

It's the mutagen,
all right.

Quick!
Fill the mutashooter
and bring it here.

Right, Boss.

All filled up.

Whoa!

Mercy sakes!
I've been zapped!

Oh, no! It's
those blasted
punk frogs again!

Oh, poor Napoleon!

What did they
do to him?

It looks like
that gadget of Shredder's

uses an ionization coil
to subject the mutagen

to hypomolecular
scintillation.

Just tell us one thing.
Is that good for frogs?

Probably not.

[Both]
Uh-oh!

Whoa!

Why, I feel downright mean!

Rahhrrr!

Gee, Boss.
W-What happens

if he gets
mad at us?

Never fear.

According to Krang,

the mutashooter will
have made this brute

completely obedient!

Now to test his loyalty.

Pick up
that boulder!

[grunting]

Ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha!

It works!
He can't help
but obey me!

All right, frog.

Now crush it.

[grunting]

Very impressive!

Now I think we're ready
to pay a little visit

to your friends,
the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles!

[roaring]

Visit Turtles!

Ha ha ha!

And once I know
their location,

together we shall
destroy them!

No! Turtles
my friends.

[groaning]

Insubordination, eh?

The effects
of the mutashooter
must be wearing off.

I'll fix that!

Napoleon feel...

strange!

Now will you obey?

Yes, master.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Good frog!
[beeping]

Well? Did you
find the mutagen?

Of course.
And I've already conducted

the first successful test
of the mutashooter.

You did something
successful?

I'll believe that
when I see it.

Well, take a look
at this!

Frog, pick up
those two mutants
and juggle them.

All right, stop!

Uhh!
Uhh!

Ooh!
Ooh!

Shredder,
you've made me

a very happy archvillain.

And once I've zapped
the four Turtles,

we'll have five
superpowerful sl*ves

to help dig
the Technodrome free!

Today the North Pole,
tomorrow the world!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Okay! It's all yours!

Unhhrr!



every drop of antifreeze
in the city.

Now where's
my big payoff?

I have it right here,
Big Louie.

I can't believe it!

I'm actually holdin'
the legendary
Star of Hoboken.

Oh, gee, Boss,
that is some rock!

All right, frog,

time to go.
Urrgghh!

Well, Boss,
let me take a look.

Hey! Watch it!

Huh?

It's glass!

Oh, boy, Boss!
Now what?

Now we find that bum
and get the real diamond.

Nobody yanks
Big Louie's chain

and gets away with it!

And they took
poor Napoleon away.

He sure was
actin' weird.

I know, Ghengis.
We saw it happen.

And worst of all, they're
headed for the sewers

to do the same
to you fellers.

Thanks for
the warning,
Ghengis.

We'll be in touch.

There. I've
installed cameras

at every major point
in the sewer system.

Nice work,
Donatello.

Shredder and those
weirdoes will never
get past those.

♪♪ [surfer type]

Whoa, dude,
that's my Kung Fu
Surfers video game.

Sorry, Michelangelo.

I had to borrow
a few circuit boards.

Now, just in case
we run into Shredder

on the street,
I've installed

a few new goodies
in the Turtle Van.

First, hovercraft
capability.

Whoa!

Does it come
with parachutes?

[chuckles] It still
has a few bugs in it.

Not anymore.
They've all
been crushed.

[beeping]

Am I glad
I got you guys!

What's the haps,
April?

I'm on location here
at the City University,

and the seismograph shows
that a strange earth tremor

is moving across the city,

and it's headed
straight for your lair!

[rumbling]

Ohh!
Ohhh...

[rumbling]

What happened to April?

She's been preempted
by our early warning
system.

That's Shredder's
module.

It's at sluice
gate 23.

Time for you
to earn your keep,
frog.

Lead us to
the Turtles' lair!

No!

You bad!

I am your master!

Do it!

Uhh! Urrhh!

Ooh! Napoleon feel funny.

Gee, Boss, I think
he's got a short.

I'll take care
of that.

Follow Napoleon!

Turtles' lair...

this way!

That's more
like it.

We're nearly there.
Be extra quiet.

No problemo, dude.

They call me

"Michelangelo

the shadooowww"!

Urgghh!
What?

Ooh, it's
the Turtles!

Quickly!
Take cover!

We'll ambush them.

No! Turtles my friends!

Raaahhhr!

Stop! Turtles! Danger!

Aaaahh!

Arrrrhh!

My goodness gracious!

What's goin' on here?

Blast it!
The ray wore off!

Look out, fellas!

Shredder's got
some kind of zap g*n!

Take that,
you bug-eyed traitor!

[Napoleon
groans in pain]

Arrrhh! Arrhh!

Uuhh! Uhhh!

Arrhh! Arrhh!

So, Shredder,
we meet again!

Eat mutagen molecules,
you green geeks!

Whoa!
[shouting]

I'm ordering you,
frog!

Bring me
those turtles!

No!

No hurt turtles!

Arrhh! Urrhh! Hohh!

[chuckling] Well.
It's comforting to know
he still likes us.

Quick, you idiots!
We mustn't lose him!

Right, Boss.

Okay, Boss.

This'll take care
of the shellbacks.

Oh! Bad news, dudes.

Napoleon Bonafrog's
out in the big city
by himself!

We'd better get
the Turtle Van, fast!

[horns honking]

Arrhh!
All this noise

making Napoleon crazy!

Must escape
terrible noise!
[honking]

[Napoleon groans]

We must recapture him!

Quick,
follow that frog!

Forget it, pal.
I'm off duty.

Aaahh! Uhh! Uh! Uhh...

That means you
are now on duty!

[chuckle]

Okay, Boss.

Quick,
you idiot!

[coughing]

Hey, come back!

My insurance don't cover
a rhino driving!

[horns honk]

[April]
The giant frog
was last seen

at 38th and 5th,

causing a massive
traffic jam.

The public is warned
that the creature
is extremely dangerous.

A giant frog?

That's him!

Get over
to 38th Street, fast!

Uh, yeah!
If that guy Shredder
wants him,

he must be
worth big bucks!

Rahhrr! Urrmm!
Napoleon hungry.

His stomach growl!

Hoo hoo h* ha!

Juicy bug! Snack time
for Napoleon!

D-- Ow! Ohh! Arrhh!

[tires screeching]

There it is!

Uhh!

How on earth
did I get here?

[chuckles]
Look, Boss.
It shrank.

Poifect! That makes
capturin' it easier.
Grab him.

Okay, green stuff,
hop in.

I know I shouldn't
accept rides from strangers,

but you look
like honest fellers.

[tires screech]

I'm warning you,
Big Louie!

Hand over that frog!

Not till you
hand over my diamond!

After him!

Guys, the latest report
on Napoleon

is that he's headed east
on 40th Street.

We're right
around the corner.
Thanks, April.

Raphael, look out!

Hey, those
were the same g*ons

who stole the antifreeze!

And I recognize
that limo.

It belongs
to Big Louie.

And there goes Shredder
and the mutants!

Why would Shredder
be chasing
those lowlife crooks?

Probably
wants to pick up
a few pointers.

Wrong.
There's the reason.

Help! Help, somebody!

They've
got Napoleon!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help me! Somebody,
help! Help!

Wonder what Big Louie
wants with Napoleon.

More importantly,
we've gotta get

that ray zapper
away from Shredder

so we can cure
our amphibian friend.

We're catching up!

We got somebody else
on our tail now, Boss.

In some kind
of weird van.

Uh, yeah,
and they're green.

What is this?
More frogs?

No, siree!

Them's my old buddies,

the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles.

Ohh! First frogs,
now turtles.

What's next,
bunny rabbits?

Oh, mercy me!

I'm feelin'
mighty weird!

You better not be sick
on my upholstery.

Ohhh...[groans]

[growling]

We're here, Boss.

There it is!

That's Big Louie's
hideout.

[Napoleon roaring]

Napoleon real mad!

Uhh! I'm outta here!

Wait for me!

Come back,
you cowards.

[roaring]

Uh, on second thought,
maybe I'll join you.

[roaring]

Rahhrr!

[tires screeching]

Bad Frog!
Heel! Heel!

No!

Bad man!

Oooohhh!

Now will you obey?

Napoleon obey.

[tires screeching]
Uh-oh.

Shredder has Napoleon
under his control
again.

Ready for action,
guys?

For sure, dude.
Wait.

Let me try to reason
with Napoleon.

We wouldn't want him
getting hurt.

How do you
manage that?

Have the Empire State
Building fall on him?

Come on, Napoleon.

We're taking you
home with us.

I have
a much better idea.

You come home
with us!

You gotta be kidding.

You think so?

I don't like that crate.

Destroy it!

Destroy crate!

Uhh!

I hate to say
this, guys,

but it looks
like we turtles
are boxed in.

You're right.
But I had to say it.

This has been easier

than sh**ting fish
in a barrel.

Ha ha ha!
Hey!

Let me outta here!

Hey, come on! Ohh!

All right,
get inside!

Raaahhrr!

Oh, goody!

I love convertibles.

Uh, Boss?
They're
getting away.

That's what
they think!
Come on!

[motor revving up]

[revving motor]

[rattling]

Ah, it's no use.
We're stuck!

Whoa, dudes, what about
Donatello's latest invention?

I think
it's this button.

No, Michelangelo,
don't!

That's
the smokescreen!

Oh.
[coughing]

[coughing]

Where are you guys,

and what's all that smoke?

Is there a fire?

[coughing]

It's a long story.
But first-- [cough]--

would you happen to know
how to run a forklift?

Huh?

Shredder, what's
taking you so long?

Why haven't you
zapped those Turtles?

Why bother?
That mutashooter
of yours

is totally
worthless!

The effects
keep wearing off!

Worthless?
How dare you criticize

my scientific genius?

Um...
excuse me, Boss.

The frog is starting

to shrink again.

Please, Mr. Shredder,
sir,

don't make me big again.

It keeps rippin'
my best shirt.

Shut up and mutate!

Ohhhhh!

Arrrhhh!

See what I mean?
I warned you

not to use
surplus parts.

Picky, picky, picky.

However, thanks to me,

we'll be able to save
the situation.

The Turtle I captured
is the brainy one.

He can fix
the mutashooter

so the results
are permanent.

Oh, yeah? And what
if I refuse?

Heh heh heh.
Then we'll launch

the module's
heat-seeking
missiles

and blow your pals
out of the sewers!

Uh, right.
Just thought I'd ask.

I don't believe it.

You really do know
how to operate a forklift.

What can I tell you?

I'm just a '90s
kinda gal.

Mustn't fix!

Mutashooter bad!

I agree, old buddy,
but it's the lesser
of two evils.

We don't want Shredder
to fire those missiles,
do we?

Hmm. Let's see, now.

We'll just cross
the cathode rectifier

with the anode rectifier.
[electrical crackling]

Well? What's
taking so long?

Your mutashooter
is all fixed.

Thank you.

Let me see.

Should I zap
you first

or blow up
your friends?

Decisions,
decisions.

Blow them up?

But you promised
you'd spare the others.

And you believed me?

Besides, one superstrong
giant sl*ve turtle

is more than enough.

Whoa!

What?
Nothing's
happening.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Stop laughing,
you cretin.

[moaning]

Well, bless my soul!

What a pleasant
surprise!

What is going on here?

Gosh, how silly of me.

I must've reversed
those two wires.

You
double-crossed me.

One good double-cross
deserves another.

What else
could go wrong?

All right, Shredder,
I know you're
in there!

I came
for my diamond!
Open up!

[banging]

Unhh!
Don't
let them in!

You didn't
happen to notice

an emergency exit
anywhere, did you?

You mean like the one
I'm standin' in front of?

Whoa!

Look.
There are the guys.

Totally epic,
dudes!

Welcome back.

Are you all right,
Napoleon?

The city is
a nice place to visit,

but I sure wouldn't
want to live here.

You may have
escaped me,

but you'll
never escape

my heat-seeking
m*ssile!

Whoa!

Wrong,
Shredder.

Turtles and frogs
are cold-blooded.
Remember?

Heat-seeking missiles
won't work on us.

[screeching]

You guys,
on the other hand,
are warm-blooded.

Oh, no! The m*ssile
is seeking our heat!

Whoa. Whoever
thought antifreeze

would make
such righteous
rocket fuel?

I did.

Uhh! Give me
that diamond! Uhh!

I have more important
things on my mind!

Mmhh! Like what?

Like-- whoa!

Garbage!

I must congratulate you
on your escape, Napoleon.

Shredder is
a formidable adversary.

I 'spect so,
Master Splinter,

whatever
that means.

Yo, Napoleon.
I whipped up

a special delicacy
for you--

a pizza smothered
in mealy bugs, gnats,
and mosquitoes.

Uhh!
Bluhh! Man!

Ohh...

What? No flies?

Me want flies!

Oh, no. Not again.

[laughter]
