DONATELLO:
I don't believe it.

we just won
a free European cruise

from Greasy Eddie's Pizza.

ALL:
All right, dudes. Yeah!

I just knew
scarfing all that pizza

would pay off someday.

What is all the excitement,
my turtles?

We just won a free ocean voyage
to Europe for five.

For five?

That means you too,
Master.

Hm.

I'm not sure
of the advisability

of such a journey.

You're all so inexperienced
in the ways of the world.

All the more reason
to go.

It'll broaden us.

Bingo. Even more than
Greasy Eddie's pizzas.

It is true,

you have grown,
my turtles.

And it is time you learned
about the wide world

beyond the sewers.

We set sail for Europe
immediately.

All right!

I'm ready for some
heavy-duty shuffleboarding.

Shuffleboarding?

Is that anything
like surfboarding?

Radical notion, dude,

I never rode
a shuffleboard before.

I believe their education

cannot start soon enough.

I still
can't believe it.

We won first prize
on this luxury liner.

Fellas, this isn't
our ship.

That is.

I wonder if it's too late
to ask for second prize.

[CHUCKLES]

Some sailors.

We haven't even
left the dock

and already
they're green.

Gentlemen.

A giant rat?

If that guy
jumps ship,

we'll know
it's sinking.

"Enjoy spacious state rooms

"with all
the latest amenities."

What's "amenities" mean?

It's a fancy name
for c*ck.

[TURTLES GROANING]

There you are,
my turtles.

Is something wrong?

[GROANS]

Maybe pizza for breakfast

wasn't such
a dynamite idea.

[GROANS]

Don't bring up pizza, dude.

I hope you've regained
your appetites

by the time
we reach Paris.

What succulent dishes
await you.

Pheasant under glass,

chocolate truffles,

asparagus
in a thick hollandaise sauce.

Snails.

[ALL GROANING]

KRANG:
Shredder, if I waited for you

to transport the Technodrome
to Earth,

my brain matter
would turn gray.

Obviously you're
a complete incompetent.

But fortunately
I'm all brains.

The neutronic generator
I sent you

will provide enough power

to fuel an
electromagnetic antenna.

With it, I can pull
the Technodrome

through the dimensional
portal to Earth.

A waste of time, Krang.

Just where will I find
a mass of metal

large enough
to move the Technodrome?

Must I think
of everything?

There's only
one structure on Earth

that will fill our needs:

The Eiffel Tower.

[♪♪♪]

SPLINTER:
The sewers of Paris

are the most famous
in the world.

They were built
hundreds of years ago.

Excuse me, Master,

but so far this isn't
exactly what we had in mind

for our vacation.

I mean, it's okay
down here, sensei,

but if you've seen one sewer,
you've seen them all.

You have not yet learned

to appreciate
a different culture.

Culture is for
yogurt lovers.

We'd rather
party hardy.

You shall, my turtles.

But always remember
that you are ninjas first

and tourists second.

Practice will keep
your ninja skills

from growing rusty.

Let's show him
we don't need any practice.

Come on, fellas.

Turtle power!

Ah!

Whoa!

[LOUD CRASH]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

Already you fight like
teenage mutant ninja tourists.

Sorry, Master,

it appears we could use
a little practice.

Not to mention
a ladder.

[♪♪♪]

So those fools have brought
the Channel Six newsman.

I'll give them
a story to cover:

Their own obituaries.

This neutronic generator

ought to make them
stand up and say, "Yowch."

Isn't this exciting,
April?

Here we are
in Paris,

the city of love
and romance.

April,
are you there?

I sure am, chief.

All set to cover
the Bastille Day ceremonies.

There's been a change
in the game plan.

Vernon will anchor the live
coverage instead of you.

Vernon?

That egomaniac
couldn't anchor a rowboat.

Now, now,
jealous, jealous.

Just what
am I supposed to do,

make crêpe suzettes?

No. Taste them.

[LAUGHS]

You'll be doing a feature
on French restaurants.

[LAUGHING]

Great, I went from
feeding information

to feeding my face.

Hey, look at
the bright side.

You may have
lost the assignment,

but you'll probably
gain lots of weight.

Thanks a lump, Irma.

See you later.

[ALL PLAYING]

Okay, Vernon,
you're on.

Uh, bonjour.

We're coming to you...

[GULPS]

...live, from Paris,

uh, that's in France,
you know,

where the Bastille Day
ceremonies are about to start--

Uh, commence.

Uh, begin.

[LAUGHS]

Uh, it's terrible
when you know a lot of words.

Bebop, Rocksteady,

you're about the witness

the most powerful
tourist attraction in Paris.

[MAGNETIC HUMMING]

[BUTTONS POPPING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

Stop that, people.

You can't run through here.

We're on the air.

Not anymore,
we're not.

[PANTING]

Vernon,
where are you going?

It's every anchorman
for himself.

[GRUNTS]

Vernon,
what's going on?

I haven't
the slightest idea.

[SHOUTING]

Vernon,

come back
with that microphone!

It's Channel Six
property.

[IRMA AND VERNON SCREAMING]

IRMA:
Vernon, do something.

Do what?

You've got the microphone,

call someone.

You're right.

Mama!

[VERNON HOWLING]

Help!

IRMA:
Stay calm, Vernon.

Take deep breathes.

I'll try.

[SIGHS]

There. Isn't that better?

You're right, Irma,

I feel
a whole lot calmer.

Good. Then in that case,

Help!

All right, sensei,

I'm ready for anything
you can throw at me.

Hey!

Guys, I was only kidding.

Mondo move, Master.

How'd you do it?

I didn't.

I sense
a great evil.

A power tearing at
the very fabric of the universe.

We'd better
investigate.

Come on, fellas.

Hey, they sure make these things
lighter here in Paris.

I think Master Splinter
is right.

There's definitely
something strange going on.

[MAGNETIC HUMMING]

Qu'est-ce?
Qu'est-ce?

Whoa!

Whoa, incoming
patio furniture.

I'm beginning
to see a connection.

Those tables
were made of metal,

just like our weapons.
So?

So there must be
some powerful magnetic force

attracting
all the metal objects.

This compass should zero in on
the center of the disturbance.

[MAGNETIC HUMMING]

RAPHAEL:
Don't you just hate a compass

that can't make up its mind?

Quick, guys,
let's follow that thing.

LEONARDO [SIGHS]:
We'll never keep up with it.

Let's grab
this taxi.

[MAGNETIC HUMMING]

Dudes, this whole city's
gone gonzo.

It's not going crazy,
Michelangelo...

it's going
to the Eiffel Tower.

APRIL:
Help! Someone help!

That sounds
like April.

RAPHAEL:
It's coming from
that restaurant.

[MAGNETIC HUMMING]

If this is what
goes on in kitchens,

I'm glad I've always
avoided them.

Don't worry, April,

the turtles
are here.

[MAGNETIC HUMMING]

Whoa-- Hey--
Wh-- Oh--

Whew.

Mm, not bad.

But it could use
just a skosh more salt.

[GRUNTS]

Me and my big mouth.

[GRUNTS]

Lucky thing my bo
is not made out of metal.

Oh, talk about
nearly getting iced.

Are you all right,
April?

I was doing this story
on French restaurants

when everything started
flying through the air.

What's going on?

There's some kind
of magnetic disturbance

coming from
the Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel Tower?

[GASPS]

That's where
Irma and Vernon are.

[MAGNETIC HUMMING]

Irma, Vernon?
Where are you?

IRMA:
We're up here!

Oh, no.

APRIL:
What are you doing up there?

If you say,
"Just hanging around,"

I promise: Snip.

Come on, Raphael,

let's get them down.

SHREDDER:
This blasted generator

is attracting
every piece of junk in Paris.

The tower looks like
one gigantic garage sale.

[MAGNETIC HUMMING]
What--?

What in blazes?

[GRUNTS]

[CHUCKLING]
[SNORTING]

The boss and his
magnetic personality.

[CHUCKLING]

Wha--?

The next worst thing
to being stuck up here,

is being stuck up here
with you.

Krang, your neutronic generator

is attracting everything
except the Technodrome.

Naturally, you metal-faced
mutton head.

You forgot to redirect
the ion flow.

Ion flow?

You never said anything
about any ion flow.

Must I hold you hand
every step of the way?

[DEVICE BEEPS]

Rocksteady,

turn off
the generator.

Now, why didn't I
think of that?

[MACHINE SHUTTING DOWN]

Holy guacamole,

this whole thing
is coming unglued.

LEONARDO:
Hang on, we're almost there.

[IRMA SCREAMING]

[VERNON SCREAMS]

It's Irma and Vernon.
They're falling.

Do something.

Don't sweat it,
dudette.

Help is on the way.

Piece of cake.

Mm.

Well,
there goes my diet.

Mm.

What could've magnetized
the Eiffel Tower?

I think it was just
freak atmospheric conditions.

It probably
couldn't happen again.

Excellent, dude.

Maybe now we can do
our tourist bit

and scope out
some sights.

Hey, dudes,

it's time to party
in Paris.

Sorry, April,
we are on vacation.

Oh, I understand.

Maybe they don't think there's
something weird going on,

but I sure do.

DONATELLO:
Incredible.

You can see
the entire city from up here.

No wonder.

It says here that
the Cathedral of Notre Dame

is almost
ten stories high.

Notre Dame?
I've heard of them.

They've got a totally awesome
football team.

Chill out, guys,
someone's coming.

Yeah, someone has reported
some crazy tourists

trying to climb
the cathedral.

I go now to, how you say,
"Check it out."

I do not see anything,

just the same old
ugly gargoyles.

Hey, who are you calling
old and ugly?

[YELPS]

The gargoyles,
they are speaking.

[SHRIEKS]

We better
get out of here

before he comes back
with an army of gendarmes.

There's got to be a reason

why this tower turned into
the world's biggest magnet.

SHREDDER:
You lunkheads,

be careful with that
ion flow converter,

or you'll explain to Krang
if something goes wrong.

It's Shredder
and his gruesome twosome.

Well, in that case,

we sure wouldn't want
anything to go wrong.

I should've known
old tin grin was behind this.

And this tape
will be my proof.

Whoa!

BEBOP:
Hey, look who just dropped in.

SHREDDER:
Well, if it isn't April O'Neil,

here to cover
her final story.

[LAUGHING]

Tie her up.
We'll deal with her

after we finish recalibrating
the ionizing generator.

Right, boss.

An art museum?

Don't you think we're
overdoing this culture thing

just a tad?

Master Splinter says
you can learn a lot

by looking at great art.

For sure.
But what?

The dude who painted this
ought to sue his eye doctor.

Hm. I wonder what
he's thinking about.

I wonder what
she's smiling at.

You'd giggle too
if you were being painted

by a dude named Leonardo.

[GRUNTING]

I must find a way
to contact the turtles.

My camera.

[GRUNTS]

If I can just
reach it...

[CLICKS]

I just hope somebody
out there is watching.

I may not know much
about art,

but I know
what I like.

And I like TV.

Michelangelo,

you're not supposed
to touch the exhibits,

no matter how ugly
they are.

Whoa, I see what you mean
about ugly.

APRIL:
This is April O'Neil,

I'm being held prisoner
on the Eiffel Tower

by these mutants
and their leader, Shredder.

TURTLES:
Shredder?

I'll put an end
to your snooping.

Shredder's
got April.

Major bummer,
dudes.

Guys, I think it's time to bring
a little turtle power

to the Eiffel Tower.

This should keep you
out of trouble for a while.

[CRACKLES]

Unfortunately for you,
Miss O'Neil,

this is where the Technodrome
will collide with the tower

when it is pulled through
the portal from Dimension X.

Have a nice day.

[DEVICE BEEPS]
Krang,

we're almost ready
to transport you

and the Technodrome
to Earth.

Well, stop wasting my time
and throw the switch.

I'm already light-years behind

in my plan
to conquer the Earth.

[DEVICE BEEPS]

I hope those idiots
have finished

reconnecting
the power cables.

Bebop? Rocksteady?

Are you ready
to remagnetize the tower?

Everything's okay, boss.

Excellent.

LEONARDO:
That's what you think, Shredder.

Wha--?

The turtles!

Doesn't anybody
just surrender anymore?

[♪♪♪]

Looks like the boss is having
trouble with his swing.

I keep telling him,

use an overlapping grip.

MICHELANGELO:
Yo, dudes.

How about
a little surfing,

Parisian-style?

ROCKSTEADY:
Whoa!

I hope they dig
the sewers of Paris.

Yeah, I hear it's a must-see
for every tourist.

Whoa, we forgot about
Shred-Head.

[GROWLING]

[GRUNTS]

You'll be one turtle

who's sorry
he stuck his neck out.

[TARZAN CATERWAUL]

Peek-a-boo, guess who?

Stop it. Get off me,
you fool.

I can't see.

[SCREAMS]

[ALL GRUNT]

Mercy bouquet, guys,

you saved my life.

Yeah. The question is,

was it worth it?

Now it's my turn,
Shredder.

Huh? Wh-- Whoa!

Whoa--! Whoa--! Whoa!

You okay, dude?

You look
a trifle shook.

Oh, I'm all right,

but Shredder's
still up there with April.

[LAUGHING]

Even the turtles
can't stop the Technodrome

from returning
to Earth.

[MACHINE HUMMING]

That loud humming,

it sounds like
the end of the world.

[RUMBLING]

I love that hum.

It's working.

And that fool Shredder

didn't think there was a mass
of metal large enough on Earth

to build
my electromagnetic antenna.

The Technodrome is too big
to pull down to Earth.

Instead, it's pulling
the Eiffel Tower

into Dimension X.

And April
is still inside it.

My job here is done.

Till we meet again,
turtles.

Old can head
is splitting the scene.

Forget Shredder, we've gotta
save April.

[♪♪♪]

I've got to override
the elevator controls.

[BUZZING]

DONATELLO:
Whoa, it worked.

[SIZZLING]

[LOUD RUMBLING]

[FIREWORKS EXPLODING]

Parisians are grateful to have
their tower back to normal.

And you, my turtles,

are you enjoying
your little trip?

Yes, Master.

Uh, but could we go back
into the nice,

quiet sewers
for a while?

Yeah, we sure could use
some downtime.

Face it, sensei,

there's nothing more exhausting
than a vacation.

[♪♪♪]
