[GROANING]

How could they not
recognize my Technodrome?

[SHREDDER]
Where are we?

Where else?
Dimension X.

[ROCKSTEADY]
This is Dimension X?

Yes, and what's worse,

we've landed in the icky part.

Gee, it's beautiful.

We've got to get
this place working again.

Take your playmate
and survey the damage.

Gee, I don't think
these transporters
are working.

Oh, great.

That means we'll
have to radio

the nearest Rock soldier
base for assistance.

Arr!

How can we radio for help

if the radio doesn't work?

Those stupid earthlings!

This is all their fault!

Why, you're an earthling.

All earthlings must suffer!

Wait, Krang!

Save you vengeance for
those who deserve it:

those accursed turtles and
their friends at Channel 6.

And how am I
supposed to do that

when none of our
equipment works?

You still have the
transwarp thrusters,
do you not?

Yes, of course!

And with them,
I can get

the communications
equipment we need.

Shredder, you're brilliant.

It's nice to
be appreciated.

[RAPHAEL]
I don't believe it!

We finally got
rid of Shredder.

And best of all, before
he could get his evil hands

on Channel 6's latest
transmitting equipment.

Knowing him, he
would've turned it into

some powerful new
weapon of destruction.

Do you realize
what this means, dudes?

Yeah: Turtles
retire with honor.

I can resume my studies
of the martial arts.

I can get back to
my inventions.

I can get back
to making pizzas.

I don't know about you,

but this turtle can use
a well-deserved vacation.

You know, London.
Paris. Borneo.

Some real fun.

Finally.

At last, there'll be
some peace in this city.

Peace?
Who wants peace?

Our viewers thrive
on disasters.

Burne is right.

How are we going to
fill our newscasts

if no one's trying
to conquer the planet?

Looks like you'll just
have to go back

to covering pet shows, Vernon.

Nonsense.

Luckily, there's always
crime in this town.

[WOMAN SCREAMS]

See what I mean?

Oh!

Stop, punk!

Wow! And there
go our Turtles!

Well, what are you
waiting for?

Go.
Go, go, go, go, go!

[BANGING]

[KRANG]
Splendid!

With these
transwarp thrusters,

we can return to
the earthlings' dimension

and snag that channel 6
transmitting equipment.

All we need to do
is get inside,

place the four
transwarp thrusters

at the base
of the Channel 6 building,

and blast it
like a rocket

back here to Dimension X.

We will make sure
the Turtles and their friends

are in the building
at the time!

I shall have my vengeance!

But wait!

How can any of us sneak
into channel 6 undetected?

That's easy.

Bebop and Rocksteady
will do it.

For a talking brain, I think
you've lost your mind.

These two will stick out
like a couple of sore thumbs.

Not when I get
through with them.

[ELECTRICAL CHARGE]

The maintenance crew--

Ach! Nothing ever works
in this stupid place!

Holographic cloaking chamber!

Hop in.

This ain't gonna be like
going to the dentist, is it?

In a way, yes.

You'll be a better
person for it.

This had better
work, Krang.

It will.
Just watch.

[ELECTRICAL CHARGE]

You...you undid
their mutation!

Not quite.

It's merely an illusion.

Yuck! I look awful!

No fair.

I was just getting used
to being a wart hog.

Relax.

You're still your
same old ugly selves.

Look in that mirror.

Oh! What a relief.

Yeah.

I was really scared
there for a minute.

You have exactly three hours

in which to infiltrate
channel 6

and get the thrusters in place.

After that,
the cloaking wears off

and you return to normal.

Take this
Pretendicon with you.

What's a Pretendicon?

Something to help you
lure the Turtles to Channel 6.

Then, make certain they're
brought back here.

[MECHANICAL HUM]

Now, go!

And don't come back
without that building!

Next time, I'm gonna insist

we fly first class!

Boy, look at
all the great places.

All I need now
is my Amphibian Express card.

Caution, Raphael.

One should seek culture
rather than credit.

Master, we are culture.

Mutant turtles, remember?

Culture, we don't need.

We need action,
fun, relaxation.

Hmm.

Perhaps you will
need credit.

This new pizza-flipping
machine should work great.

After a few
minor adjustments.

All right, it's bake-off time!

What?
I don't believe it!

Fellow dudes,

we have got a crisis
on our hands

of epic proportions.

What is it, Michelangelo?

Invaders from another planet?

Another evil ninja warlord
trying to take over the world?

Worse!

We're out of pepperoni!

I guess we're gonna have to go
topside and buy some.

We'd better bring our weapons.

Those streets are dangerous.

Yeah, but at least
Shredder and his g*ons

aren't around to
bother us anymore.

Whoa!

Why'd they have to
put that building

right where we was going?

Come on, we gotta
get inside

and get those
thrusters in place.

Wait! First
we got to activate

this here Pretendicon

like Shredder told us to.

What are your orders?

How the heck is that thing

supposed to lure
the Turtles here?

Shredder showed me.
Watch.

[BUZZING, HUMMING]

Find the Turtles.

Find the Turtles.

Find the Turtles.

Find the Turtles.

Find the Turtles.

Okay, now we have to put
these thrusters in place.

But first we've got
to get some new duds.

Ooh, ooh, look!

There's a used
clothing store.

We can swipe some
new threads there.

Will that be check,
cash, or credit card?

I think we'll use our
Oblivion Express.

I don't believe it, dudes.

Every pizza parlor in town
is out of pepperoni.

Yeah, they must be experiencing
a severe sausage shortage.

And don't ask me
to say that again.

Cut it out, punk.

Well, at least
the street crime
hasn't been too bad.

Yeah; at this rate,
we'll only have to fight crime

four days a week.

Gimme your money.

I've got a better idea.

Give me your knife.

It's yours.

Whoa, this town is, like
totally dull-o-rama since
Shredder split the scene.

Maybe it really is
time to go to Europe, fellas.

May I see your passes?

Passes?

We don't need no
stinking passes.

I'm sorry, you can't
enter this area
unless you work here.

Why, I ought to--

Easy, Bebop,
dearest chum.

That's just it, your honor.

I mean, your guardness.

We were looking
for the place

where they hire suckers
to work here.

Oh!
[CHUCKLES]

You want personnel.

Right down that corridor.

Education?

I've got four years
of science school.

Yes, and what
did you study?

Nothin'.

They studied me.

Hey, enough stupid questions.

Just give us
a crummy job.

Bebop, old buddy,

the first rule
of business etiquette

is to never threaten
your superior

with a proton blaster.

Yes, well,

you both seem aggressive
and highly motivated.

I think we have just
the position for you.

You do?

Yes.

And if you work hard,

you'll soon be cleaning up.

Oh, boy!
We will?

You are now the official
Channel 6 janitors.

Eh!

Why'd you stop me from
teaching that wimp a lesson?

Because, you lamebrain,

doing janitor type stuff
is sure to take us
to the basement,

where we can
plant these things.

Oh. Good thinking.

But there's one little thing
that stands in our way.

What's that?

Um, which way
is the basement?

Find the Turtles.

Find the Turtles.

Ooh, ooh! Maybe the
basement's in there!

[GRUNTING]

Hey, looky!

It's the schedule of all
of Channel 6's programs.

Boy, that's pretty stupid.

They've got
Kung Fu Kiddy Cartoons

on at 3 in the morning.

What? But that's
my favorite show!

That puppy ought to be
on in prime time.

Good idea.

Now we can move
Bowling for Bucks
into prime time too.

It's one show that
really makes you think.

Yeah.

And it's the perfect lead in
for My Mother the Tank.

What in blazes
is going on here?

You two are supposed
to be cleaning up.

What are you doing?

We was just
fine-tuning the schedule.

A little.

Fine-tuning?
You've destroyed it!

Get out of here,
the both of you!

You're fired!

Wait!

Whose idea was it to program
the 6:00 news at noon?

[BOTH]
Um, his.

That's brilliant planning!

We'll get the jump
on all the other stations!

You two are geniuses.

I'm making you our V.P.s
in charge of programming.

Find the Turtles.

No pepperoni anywhere!

This is getting
mondo ridiculoso.

Yeah. Next time I wish
the writers would come up
with a better plot device.

Hey, look!
It's Splinter!

Why do you suppose
he left the lair?

I don't know, but he's
about to get crushed!

[GRUNTING]

Master Splinter,
are you all right?

No set.
Programming error.

What's going on here?

Maybe that bump
on the head

made him think
he's a computer.

[GRUNTING, SHOUTING]

Out of my way!

I must explore this
strange new world

in which I find myself.

Master, wait!

He's gone
totally gonzo!

We have to stop him
for his own good!

Master, you've
got to stop this.

Whoa!

We gotta Splinter
before he hurts somebody!

We are replacing all
the cartoons with operas.

The little kids could
use some culture.

I want to run nothing
but commercials

from 8:00 to 11:00
every night.

They're more fun to watch
than most of the programs.

[RINGING]

[SHREDDER]
Rocksteady, Bebop!

What do you two cretins
think you are doing?

Hello, boss.

How did you get our
private phone number?

Simple: I dialed
"M" for moron.

Have you placed
the thrusters yet?

We can't find the basement.

I guess that's why
they made us vice-presidents.

You brainless slugs!

The basement is
down, of course!

[DIAL TONE]

We better hustle.

Shredder's even
a tougher boss

than that Burne guy.

Okay, as soon as I cancel
a few more shows.

Have those mutton-headed
minions of yours

planted the thrusters yet?

No, and they haven't
gotten the Turtles, either.

Getting that equipment
is more important

than your petty
revenge, Shredder.

Wrong, Krang!

Nothing matters more
than my revenge!

See?

That's how you
open a door

in polite society.

Is this the basement?

♪ I heard it through
the potato vine ♪

Nah, it's where they tape
The Idaho Potatoes.

That b*mb?

I was just going
to cancel it.

Well, no wonder.

Those guys don't know
how to play a potato.

Well, come on!
Let's show 'em.

You bozos are fired!

From now on, we'll be
the Idaho Potatoes.

What on earth is
going on?

Bebop and Rocksteady!

April O'Neil!

She found us out.

Aah!

Here's another show
we can personally cancel!

[LAUGHING]

All right, April O'Neil,

now that we've got you,
you're going to lead us to...

[BOTH]
the basement!

Never, never, never!

Well, maybe.

That's more like it.

Help!
Help!

Look, dudes!

Somebody must have lost
their pet giraffe.

[ELEPHANT BLARING]
Lost, nothing.

Splinter must be
in the zoo!

Come, my friend!

I'm here to save you
from your sl*very

so you can once again
rule this planet!

Master Splinter, no!

You dare interfere
with my sacred mission

to restore the animals
to their rightful position
of supremacy?

[SHOUTS]

Ow!

The basement's
in there.

Oh, goody!
At last.

Guys, it's April!

You have the wrong
frequency, April.

This is Splinter.

Find the Turtles, Splinter.
[BANGING]

I'm in deep trouble.
I'm--

Nice try, lady.

Now, take us to
that basement, pronto.

Master Splinter or not,

I'm getting a trifle
fed up with this.

If he runs away again,
we'll have to follow him.

I'll see if I can hot wire
this roach coach.

Hup.

[TURTLECOM RINGING]

[SPLINTER]
Turtles, I fear April
is in serious trouble!

Not now, Master Splinter.

We've got to deal
with Master Splinter!

[IN UNISON]
Master Splinter!

Then who's that dude?

You must help April.

Where is she?

I don't know,
but hurry!

It's some kind of robot!

A robot?

Donatello, let him have it.

One "it,"
coming up.

Soon, my brothers,
you will be free.

Aah!

Now to find April.

Finally, we found
the basement.

Now all we got to do
is position the--

[BOTH]
We forget the thrusters!

You go back to
our office and get them.

The boss will be
so pleased.

Get me Dimension X.

Yes?

Boss, the Turtles are here.

The Turtles?

This is even better
than I dreamed!

Never mind the Turtles!

What about the thrusters?

We're about the
put them in place.

Well, hurry!

Your disguises will wear off
in a matter of minutes.

April?

The last time I saw her,
she was heading
for the basement

with a couple of guys
dressed in potato suits.

Is this some hot, new fashion
trend we're missing out on?

Let's get to the basement
and find out!

There, that's the
last of these gizmos.

Make yourself comfy, lady.

It's gonna be
a long flight.

You fellas haven't seen
April O'Neil, have you?

Who, me?
Heck, no.

I never could see her.

[MUFFLED SHOUTING]

Uh-oh!
The disguise
is wearing off,

just like Krang
said it would!

[IN UNISON]
You!

Yeah, us!

Want to make
something of it?

You bet your bad
breath we do!

I'll handle them!

You fire up those thrusters.

Graa!

[MECHANICAL HUMMING]

[DONATELLO]
Those things must be some
kind of propulsion device.

We've got to hold
those g*ons off

'til I can figure a way
to shut those things down.

Michelangelo, hose them!

Oof!

Hey, no fair!

Oh, that was easy.

No, it wasn't.

Get it, Leonardo!

Hang on, April!

Now!

Now to destroy
these things!

Oh, no, you don't.

Those are Krang's property.

Thanks for telling us.

We believe in
returning things

to their rightful owners.

Ciao, bambinos.

[SCREAMING]

Soon I will have
the Channel 6 building

and all that equipment.

Soon, I will have
the Turtles and vengeance.

You didn't get
the building?

You didn't get
the Turtles?

Uh, no boss,

but we got something
even better.

We got great ratings.

The events of today

prove that Shredder
can still threaten us

from Dimension X.

We cannot afford
to lower our guard.

So much for our vacation.

Hey, amigos, speaking
of vacations,

I just got this letter
from Vacations-R-Us.

I don't believe it!

Dudes, check this out!

"You have just won
an all-expense paid trip

"for you and four of
your best buds to Europe,

courtesy of Greasy Eddie's
European Pizza."

What do you know about that?

Michelangelo is gonna see
the leaning tower of Pizza.

I just hope he
doesn't eat it.

Europe, here we come!

Mona Lisa, watch out!

The Eiffel Tower's gonna
get some turtle power.

[CHEERING]
