02x06 - The Rejects

[bunniefuu]

[Donnie]
Okay, things got super weird.

Some guy's out here
making mutants.

Turtles, snakes, worms, ants,
even a wolf.

They keep exploding,
but then more show up,

and now they want our blood
to stop them from blowing up!

My brothers followed one
to the abandoned factory,

but they got caught,

and now it's up to me
to save the day.

-[growls]
-Typical.

This is exactly
what I've been talking about!

I'm the robotics guy,
not some wannabe

Nobel Prize-winning
mad scientist...

like this nerd.

-[buzzing]
-[light music plays on speakers]

I'm-I'm-I'm just so excited
to finally be here with you!

I-I've wanted to meet you
for so long, I...

This is kind of embarrassing
but, uh...

you're like my science hero.

Your thesis on mutation,

your theories on DNA
manipulation in animals...

riveting!

Your bio equations

are at the center
of my vision board.

[fly buzzing]

My dream is to follow
in your footsteps,

to work with you one day.

[exhales] We could change
the world together!

[thud]

We, w-we...

We would be an unstoppable duo!

Imagine us, in your lab
at TCRI. [chuckles]

There's so much
we could achieve!

This is all in the ten-year plan
that I sent you,

culminating in my ultimate goal.

Mmm, you get like a medal

that's way better than changing
the world, am I right?

Oh, come on, you guys,

that wasn't
a difficult reference.

You really need to keep up.

Just couple more books a week.

Just basic, general knowledge...
[screams]

-[growling]
-This is trespassing.

Trespassing?

Tokka and Rahzar
kidnapped our friend!

Actually, it wasn't them.

I-I mean, it was them,

but like another one of them.

It was three
or four monsters ago.

It's hard
to keep track, honestly.

-They keep blowing up!
-Argh!

Hey, Donnie,
how about you maybe try

and, you know,
get us out of here?

[squeaking]

-[breathing heavily]
-Ugh.

Your siblings have been
misbehaving again, haven't they?

[dejected sigh]

How do you keep escaping?

Rahzar, well, the other Rahzar

wanted me to use
Wingnut's blood to fix them.

I think to stop them
from exploding into ooze.

You think I need your help?!

Ooh, boy.

This guy's got some issues.

I don't... I don't know.

superior to you in every way.

Plus, I chose far cooler animals
to mutate...

Uh, Donnie, what are you doing?

You created mutants, and I mean,

way better mutants than us.

This is just... amazing.

-[growls]
-Stop.

You really think my mutants
are better than Baxter's?

What?

I mean, yeah, yeah!

Uh, look at these guys!
And-and a worm mutant?

All my life, my genius
has been misunderstood.

No one saw me for who I was,

no one got me.

My fellow scientists
didn't appreciate me

or value
my groundbreaking ideas.

They didn't listen.

I can relate to that, actually.

My brothers,
they don't appreciate any...

I thought Baxter Stockman
would be different.

But TCRI rejected me.

And Stockman...

even after I bought him
a free dinner with karaoke,

all he cared about
was his stupid fly.

You mean Superfly?

There was nothing super

about that monstrosity!

I took Stockman's theories

and made them better!

I did what he could not.

But your mutants kinda explode,

like a-a lot.

it was just a stepping stone

to reach the final goal...

Uh, a million dollars?

And a medal! Can you picture it?

Me, the toast

Didn't all of this cost
more than...

And to achieve
this ultimate goal,

I have finally created
the ultimate mutant.

but you're the same
as the others.

You mock my genius!

And, no, this one
isn't going to blow up.

I mean, I'm pretty sure.

'Cause it's bigger.

Yeah, that's not
how science works.

Look, maybe I can help you
stabilize the mutagen

for the other mutants.

I'm sure Tokka and Rahzar
would appreciate

-not exploding.

on those things!

like a couple of weeks ago.

What? That's not...

No, no. No, no, no.
