[sizzling]

Oh, man, what's taking
Michelangelo so long?

I'm starving.

Steady, Raphael.

Remember, a ninja
is always patient.

[Michelangelo]
Whoa, hang on, dudes.

Here comes the cavalry,

bringing marshmallow, octopus,
and chili pepper pizza.

[Raphael]
All right!

At last we can do
some serious deep-dishing.

[Donatello]
Not so fast,
fellow pizza-lovers.

This is a perfect
opportunity

for me to demonstrate
my latest invention:

the automatic pizza-slicer.

Whoa, it looks more
like a pizza shredder.

Face it, it just looks
like Shredder, period.

It'll carve up those pizzas
in the blink of an eye.

Uh, Donatello, are you sure
this is such a good idea?

Hey, have you ever known
one of my inventions to fail?

Uh, never mind,
don't answer that.

[whirring]

Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!

Turn it off!

Uh, I'll--
I'll handle this.

[machine turns off]

Oh, no,

that was my favorite bow.

Nice going, boy genius.

You just turned our lunch
into wallpaper.

I think that machine of yours

is a little over-engineered,
Donatello.

Uh, gee, guys,
I'm really sorry.

Well, dudes, looks like
we're heading up to Vinnie's.

Yeah, for some
unshredded pizza.

Donatello!

What happened here?

Gee, sensei, another one
of my inventions backfired.

It's the third time
this week.

The only way one learns
is by making mistakes.

Although I admit this was
a particularly messy mistake.

I don't know, sensei.

I mean, I'm supposed
to be the brainy one,

yet all I seem to do
lately is goof up.

There is no dishonor
in failure, my student.

You must learn
to turn your failures
into victories.

I'd like to turn this thing
into scrap metal.

Do not be hasty,
Donatello.

Before this day is over,

you may yet understand
the meaning of what
I have told you.

Hoo, what a job,
cleaning up that mess.

I deserve to watch
a little TV.

[Announcer]
And now, Channel 6
brings you

a live report
from the city zoo.

Vernon Fenwick,
ace reporter here.

I'm at the reptile house,
where a new turtle habitat

has just been opened
to the general public.

This new sanctuary
will be a boon
to turtles everywhere.

All right! Score one
for the good guys!

[Vernon]
Not only will it protect

numerous endangered species
of our turtle friends,

but it will help
educate the public

about these highly
intelligent creatures.

And now,
back to our studios.

Ew, what a waste,

spending our hard-earned
tax dollars

on a bunch of dirty,
smelly reptiles.

Uh, Vernon,
we're still on the air!

[chuckling]
Oops.

Dirty, smelly reptiles, huh?

Why, that overblown
windbag!

He can't talk that way
about our species!

I'm going down to Channel 6

and give that Vernon
a piece of my green mind!

This is April O'Neil
with an important
news bulletin.

We have word that an
unidentified flying object

has just landed
in the mid-town
section of the city.

An alien creature
has emerged,

wielding a large variety
of technologically
advanced weapons.

Eyewitnesses describe
the alien as having
the appearance

of a large, vicious turtle!

A large, vicious turtle
flying a spaceship?

That almost sounds
like-- like Slash,

the evil turtle
from Dimension X.

Nah, couldn't be.

That Slash character
was as dumb as mud.

That UFO must have landed
around here somewhere.

[chatter]

"Police barricade--
do not pass."

Aw, that just means humans.

Oh, no. I don't believe it!

It's the Space Scow.

That's the ship Slash
made his getaway in
the last time we met!

He really must be back.

[crash]
Uh-oh. Trouble!

All right, Slash!

[rustling]

[growling]

Binky.

Why would a rock-stupid
shellback like you

be interested
in complicated electronic
gear like this?

My dear fellow,

I needed to complete
my Trans-Frequency
Flux Oscillator.

And you, I'm afraid,
are in my way.

Whoa!

Whatever happened
to the old, lovable,

stupid-as-a-sea-slug Slash?

No use trying to hide,
old chap.

Your meager wits
don't stand a chance

against my super-intelligence.

Well, you may now be
some kind of a brainiac,

but-- but are your muscles
still in shape?

Yaah!
[growling]

Argh! Whoa!

Well, I guess
that answers that.

I've both brains and brawn,
my dear fellow.

If I've calculated
the trigonometric angles
correctly,

you're about to be squashed.

Whoa!

Now, I'm afraid, we must
end this little soirée.

I have much work to do.

Well, he's still
as mean as ever.

Oh, some things never change.

They sure don't build cars
like they used to.

I intend to be
the supreme turtle
in this town.

[grunting]
Whoa!



plus a factor of 5
across stress

plus minus 12 of gravity.

[high-pitched sound]

[rumbling]

Whoa!

Uh-oh.

I knew I should have
worn a hard hat.

Uh-oh.

Oh, wouldn't you know it,
and I just had my shell waxed!

One down
and three to go.

Now, on to Channel 6
for the equipment I'll need

to complete
my Trans-Frequency
Flux Oscillator.

[Leonardo]
Where could Donatello
have disappeared to?

[sighing]
I'll try and reach him
on the TurtleCom.

Donatello, where are you?

[Donatello]
Uh, under a pile
of girders,

somewhere in
the mid-town area.

[Leonardo]
Do you need help?

Does Michelangelo
like pizza?

Now to make certain
no one gets out or in.

Whom do you wish
to see, sir?

Your broadcasting antenna
on the roof.

I'm sorry,
but that's impossible.

[chuckling]
Nothing is impossible

to someone with an
anti-gravitational beam.

Aah!

Hey, buster, you can't
come up here without a pass.

[Slash]
I don't need
no stinking pass.

My own invention,
an immobilizer ray.

Hey, you're not
allowed back here!

As they express it so crudely
on your primitive planet,

chill out.

Aah!
Aah!

Are you in there,
Donatello?

[Donatello]
What's left of me.

Whoa, dude.

Looks like somebody
got the drop on you
big time!

Yeah. Hard to believe
it was Slash!

Slash?

You're dissin' us,
right dude?

You were beaten
by the dumbest turtle

this side
of Moe's Pet Shop?

Somehow he's turned
into a super-genius.

All right.

Yeah, sure, right.

Hey, he said he was
going to Channel 6.

You can see for yourselves.

[beeping]

[Chief]
Up and at 'em, Vernon.

The story of the century
is right under our noses.

Uh, what story
is that, Chief?

Some kind of alien turtle
is on the loose!

[scoffs]
Not another turtle!

I've done enough turtle
stories for one day.

From the looks of it,
he's out to conquer the world,

starting with Channel 6!

What? He's here?
In the building?

Yes,

and we're going to get
the exclusive story.

There it is!

[Michelangelo]
Whoa, why is
the Channel 6 building

glowing like that?
[Donatello]
You'll see.

[zapping]
[all]
Oh, ouch!

What was that?

Our dumb as a brick friend

has used
his super-intelligence

to create an impenetrable
force field!

It only goes halfway
up the building.

Maybe we could
climb over it.

Yeah, it's worth a try.

Bingo!

We next add 1 pound sugar,

a shake of nutmeg,



and a quart of chicken fat,

and bring it all to a boil.

Then we--

Eeh! Run for your lives!

Ha ha ha ha!

These ridiculous earthlings.

It takes so little
to send them into a panic.

Soon, thanks to my
intellectual genius,

this entire city
will be turtlized!

[Slash]
There will be turtle
cooking shows...

And next, you add


then 5 cups
of turtle food,

then a dozen more
cups of turtle food.

[Slash]
Turtle news shows...

Disaster was averted today

when the turtle police
rescued three citizens

who had accidentally
rolled over onto their backs.

[Slash]
Turtle home shopping
channels.

Folks, I got to tell you,

these plastic palm trees are
going like hotcakes-- ouch!

So call in now.

[Slash]
Even a turtle
weather channel.

Weatherwise, it looks
like it's gonna be

an absolutely perfect day

for sunning yourself
out on a rock.

And I shall be...

the turtle supreme!

From here, you look more
like a turkey supreme!

Okay, Slash,
your time is up.

Ah, my earthling enemies.

You've arrived
precisely on schedule.

I calculated it
to the nanosecond.

[all]
Huh?

Guys, I told you.
He's changed.

Okay, so he
sounds smart.

But is he really smart?

Smart enough to have
invented this little gadget.

Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!

Look out!

I'm beginning
to see the light.

And now I shall
destroy you utterly.

Whoa, now, whoa, whoa
time out. Easy, easy.

Let's, uh,
let's discuss this.

Well, now that I have
such an incredible vocabulary,

discussing things
is my strong point.

Then answer us this.

How did you get so smart
all of a sudden?

I was wondering when
someone would ask me that.

It happened while I was
drifting through space...

which was entirely
your doing, I might add.

[Michelangelo]
Yeah, I remember,
episode 74.

[Slash]
At any rate,

I happened to crash land
on this alien world...

which turned out
to be inhabited

by a race of
hyper-intelligent beings.

Seeing that I was something
of a...underachiever--

[Raphael]
Try no-brainer.

They took pity on me,
and increased my intelligence

beyond the wildest dreams
of mere mortals,

or even turtles.

From that moment on,

I became a turtle
with a mission...

to return to Earth
and become the number 1
supreme turtle

by turtlizing
the entire planet.

And just how do you
plan to do that?

By using my animalizer ray

to turn every single
human being on Earth
into a turtle.

No way, dude.

There's no such thing
as an animalizer ray.

That's why I used my
super-intelligence genius
to invent one.

There's that creature.
Get some footage of him.

Me?

[gulping]
What if he attacks me?

I can dream, can't I?

[door thumps]
Ah, two ideal subjects.

Huh? What's happening?

I knew I should have
called in sick today!

Chief!

You-- You're a turtle.

Well, have you
taken a good look
at yourself lately?

I don't believe it.

That animalizer gadget
actually works.

I've had enough
of you, Slash.

You're giving
a bad name

to law-abiding
turtles everywhere!

And Slash fights
with brain power.

[all]
Whoa!

I think I liked
that guy better

when he was
a blithering idiot.

Now, let's examine
the situation logically.

Since I can't be supreme turtle
with you four around,

I'll
just have to put you on ice.

And the weatherman
said it would be sunny
and m-m-m-mild today!

Oh!

Sorry to give you
the cold shoulder,

but I've got a world
to turtlize.

And I'll take my first two
loyal subjects with me.

Uh, w-whatever
you say, boss.

Hey, hey, hey!
I'm your boss.

Maybe so, but he's
bigger than you are.

Ah, the new
ultra-heterodyne antenna,

Just what I need to complete
my Trans-Frequency
Flux Oscillator,

and turn everyone in the city
into my turtle minions.

If I didn't know better,

I'd say he's bent
on world domination.

He's bent all right,

especially in the area
of the brain.

Reverse polarity
of the flux indicators,

bridges passages
at the audion sequencer
transmismodifier...

Phew, being a genius
is certainly hard on
my neuron endings.

Where'd everybody go?

[gasping]
Guys!

What happened?
Who did this to you?

Mmm!
Oh, sorry.

I didn't realize
you can't talk.

I'll get you
out of there somehow.

Just keep cool.

[Vernon]
We've got to get
out of here

and warn the world.

Maybe we can
tip this box over.

Good thinking.
You push, I'll supervise.

Oh, come on, Chief,
give me a hand.

I-I mean, flipper.

Ooh, all right.

[both grunting]

We did it!
Let's get
to that stairway.

Hurry!

Hurry? I'm a turtle,
remember?

Hang on, guys,

I'll get you thawed out.

I have a feeling we're
not going to make it.

Don't be ridiculous.
Of course we will.

You go first.

[both]
Ooh, ooh, ow!

Oh, Chief,

I've fallen
and I can't get up!

All right, Vernon,
don't get your shell
bent out of shape.

Come on, we've got
to get help.

Almost there.

Ooh, thanks, April.

You're a warm
and wonderful human being.

Hey, after all those times
you've rescued me,

it was the least I could do.

Now we've got to find out
where Slash has gone.

He's on the roof!

Chief? Vernon?
Is that you?

Why, you're...
talking turtles!

That turtle freak
friend of yours

is doing something
to the station's
new antenna.

You've
got to stop him.

That thing
cost me a fortune.

I wonder what Slash wants
with a broadcasting antenna.

I've got it.

Slash can't turn everyone
in the city into a turtle

with that little handheld
animalizer ray of his,

so he's going
to amplify its power

with the station's
antenna.

Come on, then.
We've got to stop him.

Wait!

You're not going
to leave us here,
are you?

You've got to
return us to normal.

You know, Vernon,
after the rotten things
you said about turtles,

we should just
leave you that way.

Oh, oh, p-please.
I'm sorry.

I take back everything

I've ever said to anyone
about anything!

Oh, all right.

There. It's finished!

And so are you,
Slash!

Arrivederci!

Bonjour!

Adios!

And sayonara!

Man, what a show-off.

The dude makes an exit
in four different languages.

Look where he's heading.

[Leonardo]
The Trumpet Tower
apartment building.

The tallest structure
in the city.

Sure, he wants to get
the maximum range

out of his
animalizer ray.

[Vernon]
Oh, where are we going?

I've got to get something
from the lair.

But what about us?
You've got to get us
back to normal.

Keep your shell on, Vernon,
I'll get you fixed up.

There. It's ready.

Now to turtlize
this entire city.

You're the one who's gonna
get turtlized, Slash!

By the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles.

I suppose you consider that
some sort of honor?

[beeps]

[Leonardo]
All right, fellas,

let's take him!

Whoa, hot stuff!

Whoo, cool it, already.

En garde, you hunk of junk!

Touchy, touchy.

Farewell, you ignoramuses--

or to be more
grammatically correct,

ignoramusi.

[door opening]
Farewell, yourself!

Donatello!

All right, you've come
to rescue us!

I brought this
to dismantle the antenna,

but I've got
a better use for it.

We're about to go
bungee jumping
without a rope,

and you bring your dumbest
invention of all time?

[Donatello]
Hey, I'm just following
Master Splinter's advice

and turning a failure
into a victory.

[beeping]

[Raphael]
Well, what do you know.

That pizza-slicer was good
for something after all.

You might have saved
your shells for the moment,

but you can't stop me
from turtlizing this city.

You know, Slash,
you think you're so smart,

but you're actually
pretty stupid.

Exactly what did you mean
by that disparaging remark?

You never thought of using
your animalizer ray on us.

You could set that thing
to change us into humans,

and then you'd be
the only mutant turtle
in town.

Hm, a most intelligent plan.

I'm surprised I didn't
think of it myself.

[Donatello]
It's just what
I was hoping.

Oh, I'm human again!
I'm normal.

Human, yes. Normal?
No, no, no, no, no.

You tricked me!

And here comes the treat!

[grunting]

You've destroyed
my animalizer.

And now, I'll destroy you!

Annihilate, decimate,

demolish, pulverize!

[Raphael]
I think we get the idea.

Aah!
Aah!
Aah!

Hang on, compadres!

Cowabunga!

Phew, everybody okay?

We're all fine,
but what about Slash?

[rumbling]

Come on, dude, upsy-daisy.

[chuckling]
Duh, hey.

Tell me again
about the turtles, George.

I think
that crash landing

made him his old
stupid self again.

Come on, Slash.

We're gonna take you
back to your spaceship.

Oh, goodie. I like
riding in spaceships.

[Leonardo]
I've got to hand it
to Donatello.

He outsmarted Slash
and his alien
super-intelligence.

Yeah, but there's
just one thing
that's bugging me.

Nothing blew up.

And this bugs you?

Well, you know
how when we defeat
the bad guys,

there's always,
like, this big,
humongous expl*si*n?

Yeah? So?

Well, so we defeated Slash,
but nothing blew up.

Ahem.

Since I am once again
the inventive genius
of this group,

Here's my latest
creation:

the automatic
cheese grater!

[groaning]
See, you put
the parmesan here,

and presto!

[expl*si*n]

You happy now?

When am I gonna learn
to keep my big beak shut?
