Greetings, my students.
What are you watching? Oh hi, Master Splinter.
This great spy movie, The Adventures of Secret Agent Triple 0.
Yeah, sensei, the dude is in big trouble now, look.
He's handcuffed, then those guys are going to shove him out of that plane! But I know he gets out of his predicament.
How do you know, Master? Because I saw him in The Return of Agent Agent Triple 0.
Oh, no, bummer! Come on, do something, Donatello.
I got to know how he gets out of this one.
Oh, it's no use.
There's some kind of interference.
Great cadence, earthlings, and an extra special hello to the Ninja Turtles.
It's Krang! How did he get on TV? I've got the latest news from Dimension X and it's all bad.
He must have been able to jump the circuit wave barrier from Dimension X.
Unless the government of your city agrees to provide me with enough power to return my Technodrome to earth, I will vaporize a one-mile square area of the city in one hour.
I'll be in touch.
Tah tah.
That dude's nasty.
I don't believe it.
Impossible.
Even Krang doesn't have the power to do that.
What concerns me most, my students, is that he believes that he has.
Perhaps I shouldn't have done that broadcast, but I just couldn't resist.
Since I have discovered how this alien computer operates, nothing can stop me.
You forget, Krang, I found that strange spaceship in the first place.
Without it, you would not even have this computer.
I didn't forget.
I just don't believe in sharing credit.
Besides, I designed that de-materializer device using microchips from the alien computer.
If those puny earthlings do not give me the power I want, the de-materializer will turn their city into an empty desert.
Bebop, Rocksteady! Get rid of these left-over parts! You want to throw this away, too, boss? The motherboard, yes, that too.
Tah dah, that's my big city blues.
How do you like it? Mm, isn't Howie just the greatest, April? You're almost as great as the Turtles! I wear Turtle pajamas, I eat Turtle food I've got Turtles on my Turtles And I'm turtley rude I'm a Turtle dude, dude I'm a Turtle dude, dude I'm a Turtle dude, doo doo doo doo [BANGING AT DOOR.]
What's going on? I'm running a news show here, not a hootenanny! Oh, hi, Mr.
Thompson.
I would like you to meet my friend, Howie.
It's an honor to meet you.
I'm a songwriter, Mr.
Thompson.
I'm writing this new song and I just can't get it right.
This is a work day, ladies.
Get your friend out of here! But Mr.
Thompson, his piano has been repossessed by the finance company.
That's not my problem.
Back to work, you two! Or you can start singing songs about being unemployed! Well, bye, Irma.
Thanks, anyway.
Hey, how come I got to take out the garbage? I ain't even married.
Oh, quit griping.
It'll be good practice for when you finally meet the warthog of your dreams.
There's no more room in these dumpsters.
Aw, just dump it in the earth portal.
Who will know? Yeah, you're right.
If Krang is controlling some device to vaporize the city, it will show up on this portal activity detector.
But there's nothing.
There's something.
A portal opening near mid-town.
The Technodrome? No, something a lot smaller.
But whatever it is, we'd better find it.
My hand-held tracking module will lead us right to it.
That's much too much money for this piece of junk.
This is a rare antique piano.
Look at this workmanship.
I advise you to grab it up! Is that your only piano? That's all I got.
Listen, what was that? What's this thing? Well, it's a sort of a musical whatcha-ma-call-it.
I'll let it go cheap.
Irma, I think we found what we're looking for.
Hold it, guys.
Whatever came through the portal landed somewhere in that second-hand store.
Well that's Krang for you, always looking for a bargain.
There's been no answer from earth on providing the power we need.
Too bad for them.
I have just activated the de-materializer device.
In a few minutes one mile of ugly city will just disappear.
Maybe you could use it on Rocksteady's head.
We're looking for something you acquired in, oh, say the last thirty minutes.
You must mean the whatcha-ma-call-it.
Of course, the whatcha-ma-call-it.
We forgot its name.
Funny, one minute it wasn't here, the next minute it was.
That gadget must be what came through the portal.
We'll buy it, how much? Sorry, I just sold it to a nice, young couple.
Bye bye, whatcha-ma-call-it.
Can we track it down? No, this tracking device can only plot the whatcha-ma-call-it's point of arrival.
After that, we're on our own.
Thanks for this music machine, Irma.
It's weird, but it works great! A talent like yours must be nurtured.
Irma, you're the greatest.
Hey, it's playing all by itself! How romantic, it's playing our song.
I don't know about that, but these are the notes I've been searching for.
Soon earth will pay for its ignorance of my power.
[EQUIPMENT BEEPING.]
When that de-materializing device goes off, everything in the central city will vanish forever.
Oh, great, we'll never find Krang's device.
What do we do now, Donatello? Ah, don't worry, I'm sure something will hit us.
How convenient.
Look who's arrived just in time to be de-materialized.
What irony.
After all our efforts to destroy the Turtles, and they blunder into their doom! What's wrong, Howie? I don't get it, Irma.
I keep playing one melody, but it comes out another.
I'll call the Turtles.
I'll guess Donatello can figure this computer out.
Let's switch to a view of the city.
I want to watch the real estate vanish.
What happened? Where is that music coming from? Ow ow ow! Did you dudes get a funny feeling? Like, we just had a close call or something.
No, not me.
Didn't feel a thing.
Not me.
It must have been that last pizza I had.
Those blasted Turtles must be using music to sabotage my computers.
How can that be? You just saw their vapid expressions.
They obviously know nothing.
It is you who know nothing, Shredder! Those Turtles will ruin everything! This will track down the device the Turtles are using.
Find it! Make them pay for this, Shredder.
With the greatest of pleasure.
Bebop, Rocksteady, follow me! Whatever it was that came through the portal, has something to do with Krang's plans.
Well, that's comforting to know, now that we can't find it! [DEVICE BEEPING.]
Donatello here.
We need your help.
Irma just bought this computer, whatcha-ma-call-it, from a second-hand store for her friend Howie, and it's acting really weird.
A whatcha-ma-call-it? From a second-hand store? Then Irma and Howie were the ones who bought it.
We'll be right there, April.
Don't let that thing out of your sight! This is the place.
I hope we're right about this computer thing.
Ah ha.
So this is where the Turtles have their device.
Well, not for long.
Ha ha ha ha! I can't believe it! The Ninja Turtles, right here in my loft! Yup, breath-taking event, isn't it? Don't freak out, dude.
Just think of us as teenagers with shells.
Teenagers with shells? What a great idea for a song! Why can't I be a teenager with a shell I'd live in sewers just to have the right smell I'd be bodacious, that's a word I can't spell Why can't I be a teenager with a shell Is this guy for real? That's something I think I could be very well Just paint me green and maybe nobody could tell Why can't I be a teenager with a shell Why can't I be a teenager with a shell This is really not a good time for a concert.
Howie, thanks, but we have serious business to deal with.
Well, Donatello, what do you think? I think this is the most complicated circuitry I've ever seen.
But what does it do? [KEYBOARD PLAYING.]
Huh? That's what it does.
All on its own.
There is the device your tracker led us to, Krang.
The alien motherboard.
So that's what fouled up the launch.
Bebop, Rocksteady! It's Rocksteady and Bebop! Hey, horn head! Where's your tin-faced leader? Right here, shell backs! It's curtains for you, Turtles! I've always wanted to say that.
I knew it.
That device has something to do with Krang's threat.
You mean you didn't know? Fools! The music from this alien computer sabotaged the de-materializer device and you had it in your hands! Bebop, Rocksteady, now! Don't let him get the device! No problemo, dude! This gets better and better.
Evil doers never stand a chance Against the Ninja Turtles Ninja Turtles fighting all day long Ninja Turtles fighting to my song Fight fight fight fight fight fight Fight fight fight fight fight I'll take that.
I hate songs written in C-sharp.
Can I smash it now, boss? Stop him! That device is the only thing preventing Krang from leveling the city.
That's right, and your precious city will be vaporized even sooner than you think.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Don't waste too much time with these Turtles, Shredder.
I'd hate to see you vanish as well.
What do you mean, Krang? I mean that the de-materializing device has been triggered again.
It'll make everything in that one-mile area disappear.
Oh, no, dudes! I'm sorry about this, Turtles.
You know I'd diffuse it if I could.
If I were you, Shredder, I'd destroy that motherboard and find the nearest portal entry, pronto.
Well, I'm getting out of here.
Say bye bye to your computer, fella's.
That's what you think, zoo breath! Hi-yah! Quick, Michelangelo! Phew! Mondo move, dude.
Those Turtles are incredible, and to think I'm going to immortalize them in song! Later, Howie.
Right now we've got to get this computer out of here! Be careful, guys! That computer's music just might save the city.
Nobody's getting through this door! Who cares? I don't use that closet much any way.
Uh, closet? Let's go, guys! The news van is parked downstairs! No! Where do you think you're going, tin grin? To take care of your friends and that alien motherboard.
Well, think again.
Hi-yah! Agghhhhh! You fools! They're getting away! I always say, one good jerk deserves another.
We must get that motherboard.
Right, boss.
This will hold those repulsive reptiles.
That door is solid steel.
It won't budge.
Guys, we've got to diffuse that de-materializer.
But first we've got to get out of here.
No sweat, dude.
Kowabunga! Turtle power! Now what? Shredder said that the computer's music stopped that device that Krang planted.
We need to amplify that music until it stops it for good.
Hey, we could play it at a rock concert.
Some of that music could stop anything.
What about the Channel 6 transmitter? That's it! But I've got to find that de-materializer device and try and disarm it.
Michelangelo, help me follow the trail.
Right, dude.
Rafael and I will follow April and keep that motherboard out of Shredder's hands.
Master Splinter.
Yes, Donatello, what is it? Maybe you ought to leave the lair, Master Splinter.
That device of Krang's is set to go off and I don't know if I can find it in time.
I have every confidence in you, my student.
Great, I wish I did.
We're on our way to Channel 6 now, Donatello.
Good, April.
When you get there, head for the transmitter room.
I'll tell you what to do then.
Donatello, out.
Enough with the notes, Howie.
Play us the song.
I love requests.
Heroes in a half shell Not weasels in a cream sauce Heroes in a half shell They're tubular and way cool Heroes in a half shell They ain't no enchilada Heroes in a half shell They don't do nothing bad yeah I want to be a hero like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I want to be a hero like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Heroes in a half shell No weasels in a cream sauce Heroes in a half shell They're tubular and way cool Heroes in a half shell They ain't no enchilada Heroes in a half shell They don't do nothing bad yeah I want to be a hero like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I want to be a hero like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles [SHREDDER.]
Faster, they're getting away! So what if you're late for your costume party.
We got speed laws in this town.
Yeah? And we intend to break them all! Now step on it! According to the module, that de-materializer is somewhere in this area.
Not too fussy, is it? Look.
There it is.
All right! Oh, step on it, April! Shredder and his goons are on our tail! Darn, this would be the perfect time for some chase music.
Leave it to Krang.
He's designed this device to go off at the slightest touch.
Uh oh, that tune sounds familiar.
It sure does.
I hope April and Irma have gotten to Channel 6.
I've got the alien computer wired to the transmitter, Donatello.
Good, when you hit the main switch, it'll send that music into every part of the city.
It's not working.
Great, it plays through the whole show, but then when you want it to, nothing.
[DOOR CRASHING OPEN.]
Smash that computer, Bebop! Howie, play your music, now! Forget it! This performance is cancelled.
[DOOR OPENING.]
Hi-yah! No no no! As Michelangelo would say, "Real tubular, dude.
" Huh, hey! Got you.
Now play, Howie, play.
[THEME SONG.]
I warned them about playing during office hours! This time they've gone too far! Come on, Howie, play! Ah, it's diffused.
Totally excellent.
No! That music! It's causing all my computers to re-program themselves.
Ow, Shredder! Help! Stop those computers! No, no, I didn't say smash them! Stop, stop! All right, Howie! Gee, thanks.
It was swell of you guys to get me this new piano.
Oh, dude, it isn't new.
We got it at a second-hand store.
But we've always been big supporters of the fine arts.
Oh, I'm glad I was able to use some of the parts from that alien computer to fix this one.
It's pizza time, dudes and dudettes.
[PIANO PLAYING.]
Oh, no!
