This is a transcript for Leo Nardo Stands Alone, the first episode of season 1 of Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
| Two Months Ago | |
| Re-cap of the events from the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Leonardo is pinpointed in a bulls-eye with the caption “target acquired”. | |
| Blogger 1 | The mutants that stopped that giant monster, they’re heroes. |
| Bulls-eye on Michelangelo – “target acquired”. | |
| Blogger 2 | You’re heroes! |
| Bulls-eye on Donatello – “target acquired”. | |
| Blogger 1 | I saw them. [Bulls-eye on Raphael – “target acquired”.] They saved everyone. |
| Blogger 2 | You’re heroes. |
| Crowd | You’re heroes! |
| Close-up on Leo, on his bed in the lair. He is drawing and writing and singing softly to himself. | |
| Leonardo | They’re heroes. |
| Donatello | Leo. |
| Leo | Yeah. |
| Donnie | Leo. |
| Leonardo | Woo-hoo |
| Donnie | Leo! |
| Raphael | Dude, come on! Let’s go already. |
| Michelangelo | We’re getting breakfast. |
| Donnie | Bacon, egg and cheese! |
| Splinter | Speaking Vermin. |
| Raph | Ugh. Dad, why are you still talking in Vermin? God, it’s so annoying. |
| Leo | He’s doing it for Scumbug. She wants him to make more of an effort in their relationship. But anyways, just - - just go on without me, all right? I – I’m not hungry. You’re good. |
| Mikey | No hungry? That doesn’t even make sense. |
| Raph | What are you doing? |
| Leo | Nothing! You - - you know, it’s homework. |
| Donnie | He’s doing his stories again. |
| Leo | I’m definitely not working on my comic book! Just pick me something up. |
| Raph | All righty, your loss. |
| Mikey | Gonna get that bacon, egg, cheese! |
| Raph | Fair warning, Leo, I’m gonna eat yours. |
| Leo continues working on the front cover of his comic book. | |
| Leo | “Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, issue one, starring Leonardo. |
| Turns page, crowd sounds. | |
| Blogger 1 | They’re heroes! |
| Blogger 2 | You’re heroes! |
| Leo thinks for a moment and then begins writing. | |
| Leo | “They’re no heroes,” she said very dramatically. |
| Cut to a computer station with multiple displays. A fist strikes and shatters a monitor. | |
| Josefina Bishop | They’re no heroes. They’re the danger. |
{Opening sequence; title song}
| Interior pages of the comic book. | |
| Leo | “In the secret lair of the Ninja Turtles” - - |
| Scene shifts to live action. Cell phone conversation between the Turtles and April. | |
| April O'Neil | You guys agreed to be there, right? Not that I’m not great at parties, but seriously, if you guys aren’t there, I’m gonna freak out. |
| Mikey | Not go to a party? Dude, I am the party. |
| Donnie | Of course we’re going. It’s a costume party. We’ve got costumes. |
| Raph is struggling to help Leo with his costume. | |
| Raph | Come on! [grunts] Almost. Ah. You couldn’t have gone with a more shell-friendly outfit? |
| Leo | Come on, just pull. |
