[Opening sequence and theme song.]
[The Turtle Van drives along a snow covered mountain road.]
Splinter "Ah, the Austrian Alps, their majestic beauty reminds me of the mountains in my native Japan."
Michelangelo "You're right, Splinter, this scenery is so totally cool, it's hot."
[Donatello is seated at the computer in the back of the van. Michelangelo places a pizza in the microwave. Leonardo is driving.]
Leonardo "This area certainly is beautiful. I'm glad April asked us to join her at the ski resort."
Michelangelo "Hey, dudes, where is this library book place anyway?"
Raphael "Not library book, Lichtenbroich."
Donatello "Well, if my calculations are right, and they invariably are, it's right over the next mountain."
Splinter "Then it is time for me to take leave of you, my students."
[The van stops and Splinter exits, taking a backpack from Michelangelo.]
Leonardo "Will you be all right, Sensei? It's awfully cold in these parts."
Splinter "Do not worry, Leonardo, a secluded mountain cave will provide all I need for my meditation."
Donatello "Well, if you should need us, use your Turtlecom."
Splinter "Be watchful, my students. These mountains can be treacherous, and much is hidden beneath the beauty of the snow."
Leonardo "Hmm, I wonder what made him say that."
Raphael "Hey, you've been in enough of these shows to know that he always talks like that."
[On a ski slope, Irma comes barreling down on skis, clearly out of control.]
Irma Langenstein "Look out!"
April O'Neil "Irma, be careful."
Irma "Out of the way, out of the way!
Oh! Hi there."
[She bashes directly into a man and they both go down.]
Oh! Hi there."
Rudy "It was good, ja?"
Irma "It was great, especially the stopping part."
April "You're a wonderful ski instructor, Rudy."
Rudy "Thank you, Fraulein O'Neil."
April "I'm heading back to the chalet, I wanna look at the videotape I took of today's Olympic training session."
Irma "Oh, one more run, April, please?"
April "Sorry, Irma, if Mr. Thompson finds out I'm having all this fun, I'll be out of a job. Anyway, the Turtle-- I mean, our friends, should be here soon."
Rudy "Well, we could go again, my little Viennese pastry, ja?"
Irma "You mean you expect me to risk life and limb zooming down an ice-covered hill on two little pieces of wood? I'd love to."
[April walks back up to the chalet. As she passes a tree, snow falls off a limb and onto her head.]
April "Oh, yuck. That's strange. It's the middle of winter. I wonder why the snow is melting."
[Cut to the Technodrome in Dimension X. Krang is spying on April.]
Krang "So, she thinks it's strange, does she? Well, Miss Busybody reporter, you're about to see just how strange it really is.
Shredder, are you there? Come in, Shredder."
[He pounds the console and turns off April’s image. The he punches buttons to bring up a snowy mountain peak.]
Shredder, are you there? Come in, Shredder."
Shredder "Yes, Krang, the Swiss Alps' zoetropic link up is completed."
Krang "What about the relay stations?"
Shredder "One more to go, and the circuit will be complete."
Krang "And then my plan to melt the glaciers from every Alpine mountaintop and flood the villages will all be complete. [laughing] Oh, I'm so clever I can hardly stand myself."
Shredder "Good, the zoetropic waves will soon be at maximum strength.
What in blazes?"
[A portal opens overhead and Bebop and Rocksteady fall through.]
What in blazes?"
[The pair land on top of Shredder.]
Bebop "Hi, boss."
Shredder "Krang, I didn't send for these two dunderheads."
Krang "They have a little task to carry out. Taking care of April O'Neil. Besides, they were beginning to get under my skin."
Shredder "What skin?"
[All three start laughing.]
Rocksteady "I get it."
Krang "One of these days, Shredder, one of these days."
