[Opening sequence and theme song.]
[Pan down to the Turtle Lair. Michelangelo opens the freezer to remove a pizza.]
Michelangelo "Whoa! Lucky thing I noticed this pizza meltdown, dudes!"
[He tosses the box to Leonardo, who slices the box off the pizza.]
Leonardo " I guess we'll just have to eat 'em all before they spoil."
[The pizza itself flies like a disc towards Raphael, who spears it on his sai. He places the pizza in the oven.]
Raphael "We'll force ourselves."
Michelangelo "Yeah. Major bummer."
Leonardo "Oh, too bad Donatello's not here to help us finish 'em."
Raphael "Forget it. The whiz Turtle's still locked in the garage, workin' on the Turtle Van."
Michelangelo "That dude sure is a glutton for work."
[He removes the pizza from the oven and takes it to the table, where his brothers are now seated.]
Leonardo "I'm worried about Donatello. Here's been working on that Turtle Van night and day for the past week."
Raphael "Yeah. I hardly see him around anymore."
Michelangelo "Yeah. Somebody ought to warn him. All work and no pizza makes a mondo dull dude."
[Pan to the entry to the garage. A sign on the door reads “Turtle Van Garage Stay Out.” Inside, Donatello is welding and talking to Master Splinter.]
Donatello "A little bit more, maybe. Ah. There. It's finally finished."
Splinter "This must be quite an exciting moment, Donatello."
Donatello "Oh, it certainly is, Master Splinter. Watch this."
[He presses the button on a remote and a panel opens in the top of the van. A signboard comes up, spreads open, and lowers on either side of the van. The signboard sports the image of a popsicle.]
Donatello "The perfect camouflage for a hot summer day."
Splinter "Most impressive, my son. An inventive mind is a great gift."
Donatello "Aw. Thank you, Sensei."
Splinter "I must inform your brother Turtles. They will be most pleased with these improvements."
Donatello "Oh, no, no, no, Master Splinter. Not yet. I wanna road-test the other devices first."
Splinter "I will respect your request. Remember, Donatello, pride in one's work is an excellent quality, but it must not be carried to excess."
