[COMMENTATOR]
And Wal's about
to make the flip.

He's in position.

[CROWD CHEERING SOFTLY]

And it's--

[ANNOUNCER]
We interrupt the National
Tiddlywinks Finals

to bring you
a classic episode

of the '50s sitcom
Look Out for Daddy!

Oh, man,
another rerun?

That's all they show
on TV anymore.

Yeah, and we've watched
all these rented videos,

like, 20 times.

And I've been practicing
the same ninja moves all day.

Hey, what's Donatello
been up to?

He's awfully quiet.

I thought you'd never ask.

Check out my
latest invention, guys.

Fellow turtles,
introducing the automatic

pizza-dough maker.

[MICHELANGELO]
Whoa!

Radical machine, dude!

A little flour.

A little water.

Now watch.

[WHIRRING]

Hmm...

Sounds like a flywheel
needs adjusting.

[YELLING]

I don't know
about pizza-making,

but you've got a heck
of a secret weapon there,
Donatello.

[KRANG]
Oh, why won't
the master engines

move us anywhere?

[SHREDDER]
Because all
of the Technodrome's tracks

are embedded in that
hardened lava, Krang!

[KRANG]
We must get off
this mountain somehow.

Uh, would it help
if we went outside
and pushed?

[CRASH]

I don't like the sound
of that one bit.

Oh, no.

[BEBOP]
I know what the problem
with this big thing is.

What?

It's broken.

Well, obviously
it's broken,
you moron!

The question is
can we fix it?

No, we'll have to make
a whole new one.

But these shafts are made
of solid rigidium,

the hardest metal
in the universe

and the rarest.

So? Let's just go out
and buy some.

On this miserable
dump of a planet?

Don't be ridiculous.

Besides, it's more fun
to steal some.

Somewhere in this
vast universe,

there must be some
rigidium we can steal.

[COMPUTER BEEPING]
Bingo!

There's a huge
concentrated quantity

of rigidium on Earth!

We must activate
the trans-dimensional portal

so you can
go to Earth
and get it.

Oh, boy.

Earth, my favorite place
for doing damage.

[CHUCKLES]

Maybe we'll even run
into those stinkin' Turtles!

April, the Lofty Tower
is having its grand-opening

at noon and I want you
to cover it.

I won't let you down, Burne.

Now just a darn minute!

I should be the one
to cover that opening!

The way you've been
messing up stories lately,

you're lucky you still
have a job, Vernon!

Isn't the Loft Tower
supposed to be

the tallest
in the world?

Gee, I hope it's safe.

I'm sure it is, Irma.

Hey, hey, hey!

Think of what a story
it would make if,

by some weird fluke,
it happens to fall over!

[LAUGHING]

I--I changed my mind.

You deserve
the story, April.

[KRANG]
Now, to open
the dimensional gateway,

and send you to Earth.

[expl*si*n]

Oh, what's that?

[SHREDDER]
What the devil is it?

We'd better investigate.

It looks like a big egg.

Too bad we ain't
got no bacon.

[BEBOP]
Uh, I think
it's hatching!

[SCREECHING]

[GIGGLING]

Oh, no.

It's...a zipp.

Uh, gee.
[LAUGHING]

He's kinda cute.

You fool!

That's the most
dreaded creature

in all the galaxies.

[SHREDDER]
That little thing?

We must get out of here
before it destroys us all!

Wee!
[BURBLING]

Safe!

I only hope
it didn't follow us.

[ZIPP]
Wee!

No!

Wee! Zip-ow!

Ziiip.

[MAKING "ZIPPING" NOISES]

Bebop, Rocksteady,
stop that creature!

Wee!

That thing is going to eat
the entire Technodrome

if it isn't stopped!

Worse than that.

You haven't seen the half
of what that monster can do.

[KRANG]
Stop it!

We must dispose of this
little beast somehow.

How? The only way
to get rid of a zipp is to--

I've got it.
I've got it.

We'll send the zipp
to Earth.

Then, while they're all
trying to stop it,

you and the punks
can find the rigidium

and steal it
with no resistance.

Good riddance,
you little monster!

[BURBLING]

[SNIFFING]

Whoa!

[SCREAMING]

Ew, patooie!

[BANGING]

[MICHELANGELO]
I thought we'd never get
that gizmo shut down.

[LAUGHING] Yeah. Let's
just hope it never gets
started up again.

Guys...do you
hear something?

No. But as soon as I finish
cleaning up this mess,

Donatello's gonna
hear plenty!

[DISTANT BANGING]
No, wait! I hear it, too!

Hey! Maybe we've got mice!

Here in the sewers?
Don't be ridiculous.

It's coming from
over there!

Well, what do ya know?
Heh-heh...

An angry rain barrel.

No. There's
something in it!

Well, that means someone's
gonna have to turn it over
and...

[GULPS] ...look inside?

Ah, good thinkin', pal!
Let us know what you find.

Uh...hello!
Anybody in there?

[BURBLING]

Well...here goes...

[GIBBERING]

[SMOOCHES]
[GIGGLING] Zip zip!

Hey hey, Michelangelo!
I think it likes you!

Yeah, but what
the heck is it?

Perhaps Master Splinter
will know.
[SLURPING]

I have no idea where this
creature could have come from.

Never in my life have I
seen anything like it.

[MICHELANGELO]
It sure is cute!

[BURBLES]
[CHOMPS]

And hungry!

[BURBLING]
Zip zip!
[LAUGHING]

[DONATELLO] Hey!

That thing ate our VCR!

And our rental tape
was in it!

Oh, think of
the late fees.

[CHOMPING]

Okay. Look here,
Leadbelly!

You can't just...!

[CHOMPING]

I can see this is gonna
be one of those days.

It seems to only
eat metal.

Ooo! [BURBLE, CHOMP]

Hey! My machine!

[BOTH BURBLING]

You've gotta be
puttin' me on!

Come on!
We've gotta stop them!

[CRASHING, GROANING]

They're heading
for the street!

What do you suppose
made it divide in two?

Donatello, was there
anything special

about that machine of yours?

No...except that it was
entirely made of copper.

Then it's a safe bet

that every time
those things eat copper,

they double.

And how much copper
do you suppose

they'll find up there?

[DONATELLO]
Well, there's copper
everywhere!

Telephone wires...
plumbing...

anything made of
brass or bronze,

like doorknobs
or statues or...

Oh, no!

Come on!

[MULTIPLE BURBLING]

Fellow Turtles...

I think we've got a bit
of a problem on our hands.

[BURBLING, CHOMPING]

Aw, they're gonna eat
this city alive

if we don't do something!

[SCREECH] [BOUNCE]
[LAUGHING]

Yeah. And every time
they eat copper,

there's two more of 'em!

I'm beginning to get
an idea where that

first little guy
came from!

Someplace like maybe...
Dimension X?

Bingo! They've practically
got Shredder's fingerprints
all over them!

[SQUEAKS]

[GASPS] You can't catch
the little motor-mouths!

And there's more of 'em
every minute!

What we need is a plan!

Have you got one?

Nope. I was hoping
you had one!

Dudes, I say we split up!

[DONATELLO] Why?

Well, 'cause that's
what they're doing!

At this point,
anything's worth a try!

Let's go!

Oh, my antiques!
I'm ruined!

♪♪ [DANCE]

[CHOMPING, BURBLING]

Well, at least those
little pests are good
for something!

This is not working!

Well, what do you
expect, dude?

There's four of us
and 80 bazillion of them!

This is a job for the
Department of Pest Control!

We found the first one.
We're responsible for
all this!

And we need a plan.

All we can do is
follow them and study them!

Maybe we can find
something that will
stop them!

Well, it's not a plan.

But it's all we've got.

I knew I should have
taken up dentistry

instead of nin-jitsu!

[BURBLING, CHOMPING]

[KRANG] Excellent!

Those Zipps are
tearing the city apart!

The path is clear now

for you to steal
the rigidium we need!

But how will I find it?

Use the transport vehicle's
built-in metal detector.

I set it to seek out
-- what else -- rigidium!

Now go!

Gee, I thought Krang said
the path was clear for us!

[SHREDDER] We've landed
in the middle of rush hour!

[BEBOP] We'll be stuck
here all day, boss!

Then we'll just
have to solve

the city's traffic
problem!

[SCREAMS]

[EVERYBODY SCREAMING]

Out of my way!

[ROCKSTEADY]
Let somebody else
get through, will ya?

[DONATELLO]
They're heading into
the Natural History Museum!

[CHOMPING, BURBLING]

Hey! Lay off those
mineral samples!

[BURPING]

Huh? Where'd he go?

Now that's going too far!

All right,
you little dudes!

Knock it off!
[SILENCE]

What you're doing is bad.

Wrong-ola!

[SAD BURBLING]

What do you know?
It worked!

I wonder if this
has something to do

with your saving that
first one from the barrel?

[MICHELANGELO] Come on!
We're clearing out of here!

[BURBLING]

[HORNS HONKING]

[SHREDDER] According
to the metal detector,

there's a huge shaft
of rigidium

running all the way
to the top of this building!

That spire on top should be
ample for our needs.

Well, yeah!
But, uh...

how we gonna get
all the way up there?

[SHREDDER] By shifting
gears into vertical!

[ENGINE ROARS]

[MAN] And so it was,
through the discovery

of the new miracle
metal, rigidium,

that I, Donald J. Lofty,

could build Lofty Tower.

A huge shaft
of rigidium

runs through
the building,

connecting here,

in the central
support spire.

Oh, boy.

This is the longest
speech I've ever heard.

No, just the boringest.

And now, the mayor
and I will cut the ribbon,

and proclaim
Lofty Tower to be--

Eeyagh!

Nobody move!

[GASPS]

We're takin' that
rigid-dad-din-da-dum.

[PANTING] All this running
around has me bushed.

I need something to eat.

[RUMBLING]

A-reee!
[CHOMP]

Ree! Zippie!

Yum! Yum! Yum!

Boy, they must really
like chocolate!

It's probably pretty
scarce in Dimension X.

Hey! Do you realize
that's the first thing

they've eaten
that wasn't metal?

Let's try it again.
[MACHINE RUMBLES]

Yah yah!
[CHOMP]

Did you see that?

They reunited!

But how will we get
all of them to do it?

It'll take a miracle!

No! Just a really
big chocolate bar!

Come on!

April! What are we
going to do?

I've got to contact
the Turtles somehow!

[SHREDDER] Now to
cut down the spire!

No! You can't!

Every girder in the building
connects to that thing!

If you cut it off,
the whole building will fall!

That will be
your problem!

[BEEP]
[ROAR]

[DONATELLO] Ajax Industrial
Candy Foundry.

Makers of the world's
largest chocolates!

Just what we're
looking for!

Hey! The Teenage
Mutant Ninja Frogs!

Turtles!

I'm one of your
biggest fans!

Thanks! We'll send you
an autographed photo later.

But right now, we need
that candy bar!

[PULLEYS SQUEAKING]

Now to unwrap it!

[DISTANT YIPPING]

Here they come.

Go get it, fellas!

[CHOMPING]

[YIPPING]

Whoa! You found something
those dudes really dig!

[RAFAEL]
Yeah, and I bet they don't
even save us a bite!

There's more to it
than that. Watch!

[MICHELANGELO] Whoa!

They're getting it together!

Uh-oh!
[MONSTER GROWL]

I'm beginning to think
this was a big mistake.

A big mistake?

I'd call it a
King Kong-sized mistake!

[GROWLING]

[GROWLING]

Zip! Zip!

[BURPS]

Zip!

[BURP]

Boy! Doesn't that guy
ever get full?

[DONATELLO]
Unless we can find a way

to shrink him down
somehow, we're sunk!

Hey, dudes! I saw
one of 'em shrink!

You did?
Yeah!

At the museum!

It was eating
mineral samples,

and then suddenly
it shrank and vanished!

One of the minerals must
not have agreed with it!

Yeah! But which one?

[LEONARDO]
We've got to find out!

[BURPS]

In a few minutes,
this rigidium spire
will be ours!

And this whole
building will fall!

We've gotta
call the Turtles!

But how?

By keep Bebop distracted,

while you call the Turtles
on my Turtle-com!

How are you going
to distract Bebop?

By using my
journalistic skills!

Move it on back,
April O'Neil!

Come on, Bebop!
How about an interview?

Hey, I'm not fallin'
for any...

interview?

Sure! An interview
with a clever, dashing,

uh...person like you
would be a real scoop!

[CHUCKLES] It would?

I'm sure my viewers
would be very interested

in what you have to say.

Well, yeah! I am
pretty interesting.

Ask me my opinion
on comic books!

[MICHELANGELO]
This is the case he ate
the ore samples from.

And chances are,
the last one he ate

is the one that
made him shrink!

Pyrite, quartz, iron,
titanium,

ballonium...rigidium!

Oh, great. That's one of
the rarest metals on Earth!

Where the heck are we
gonna find enough to--

[Turtle-com rings]

[IRMA] Come in, guys!
It's Irma!

I'm at the Lofty Tower.

Shredder's here.

He's cutting down
the top spire of the tower,

and if you don't stop him,

the whole building's
gonna fall over.

He's cutting off the top
of the tower? Why?

It's made out of
some metal he needs.

Something called...
rigidium?

Rigidium?

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Pizza?

No! We've got to get
to Loft Tower!

But what about
the monster?

Hold the phone!

A bunch of little ones
obeyed Michelangelo!

Yeah! 'Cause I helped
the first little dude
out of the barrel!

Then let's hope
it still remembers!

[ALL] Go, Green Machine!

Uh, so that basically
sums up my view

on world affairs.

Now about this
weather we're having...

[SHREDDER] Bebop, quit
fooling around over there!

We're almost ready!

[METALLIC CREAKING]

Krang! Open
the dimensional portal!

[GRINDING ROAR]

Push!

[METAL CREAKS]

[RUMBLING]

[LOFTY] Oh, no!
The building's gonna fall!

[SHREDDER] Now to
Dimension X, with our prize!

[RAFAEL] Not so fast,
Chrome-Dome!

[SHREDDER] Oh, no!

[BUILDING RUMBLES]

We gotta prop
this place up!

Ziiiiip!

[RUMBLING, GROANING]

[APPLAUSE]

[MICHELANGELO]
There's some metal
munchies for ya, dude!

[SLURPS, ROARS]

[CHOMPS, BURPS]

[CHEERING]

Ziiiip!

[RAFAEL]
Grab him!

[MICHELANGELO]
Hang on, dude!

[REVVING ENGINE]

Wee! Zip zip zip zip!

Wee-ee-ee-ee-ee!

Rah! Yum yum yum yum--!
Stop him!

He'll ruin us!

[RAFAEL] Boy, we sure fixed
Shredder's hash, huh, guys?

Yeah! Now that over-eater
will be his problem!

And we'll never have to see

one of those
little creatures again!

Yeah! It's enough to
make you appreciate

how boring
things were before!

But ya know, all the same,

I'm gonna miss
those little dudes!

Not me! I'm gonna
forget about 'em,

and get back
to my practicing!

Huh?

[BURBLING, GIGGLING]

Wee!
[ALL] Oh, no!

I think I'll check
into a motel

until this blows over!
