[Opening sequence and theme song.]
[Episode opens on daytime city skyline. Pans down to an alley with a scaffolding against a building and a large hole in the ground. A cat is walking by when the ground starts to shake. The cat hisses and then runs as a transport module drills up to the surface. Bebop and Rocksteady step out. The shaking has loosened dirt from the scaffolding and it falls on the pair.]
Bebop "Uh-oh."
Rocksteady "Uh-oh."
[Inside the Technodrome, Krang and Shredder watch the pair on the giant monitor.]
Krang "Watch this, Shredder."
Shredder "You muddle-headed mutants. Quit wasting time. Start operation Turtle Terminator."
Rocksteady "Right, boss. We're on our way."
[Shift to Irma’s apartment where she is getting ready for date and singing about it.]
Irma "La da da-da~ La da da-da da da da da-da da. I have a date so I can't be late don't want to make him w-wai-- Ah-choo!"
[Outside, Bebop and Rocksteady climb the fire escape. Rocksteady bangs his head.]
Rocksteady "Ow!"
Bebop "Shh. Don't make no noise. Do like I do."
[He steps on a cat's tail. The cat reacts violently and off balance, Bebop crashes through the wall and falls into Irma’s apartment.]
Bebop "Yieee!"
Rocksteady "Do like that? Okay, if I have to."
Irma "Oh! Ooh, you poor man, or mutant. Mutant? Aah!"
[Rocksteady plows through the wall. Irma steps on his hand and bones crack.]
Rocksteady "Ow!"
Irma "Another mutant! Look what you've done."
Bebop "What we're doing, lady, is kidnapping you."
Rocksteady "And don't give us no trouble."
Irma "Kidnapping me? Oh, no. No, please don't!"
Bebop "I love it when they beg."
Irma "You--you can't kidnap me today. I have got a lunch date with Channel 6's incredibly handsome anchorman. Hey--hey, you can come back tomorrow and kidnap me."
Rocksteady "Ooh! How come we always get the tough assignments?"
[Underground, the turtles are sneaking up behind Splinter who is standing in the sewers.]
Leonardo "Ready, turtles?"
Raphael "Yeah. I'll hit him high."
Donatello "I'll hit him low."
Michelangelo "And I'll take what's left. Ha ha."
[They leap.]
All "Hyah! Hyah! Cowabunga! Hyah!"
[All four crash into a mirror.]
All "Uhh!"
Leonardo "A fine bunch of ninjas we are-- we fell for the oldest trick in the book."
Splinter "The lesson to be learned is, things are not always as they appear. Learn to trust your instincts, not your eyes."
[A beeping interrupts the lesson.]
Donatello "It's the turtlecom."
Leonardo "Leonardo here. What's wrong, April?"
April O’Neil "I'm at Irma's apartment. The place is a complete mess."
Raphael "So what else is new? Irma's place is always a mess."
April "Irma is missing, and I'm sure Rocksteady and Bebop took her."
Leonardo "Wait right there, April. We're on our way. Let's go, turtles."
[Shift to the river. A boat passes and then the scene zooms past a dock to where Rocksteady and Bebop and carrying Irma between them.]
Irma "Where are you bozos taking me?"
Bebop "Hey, lady, you ask too many questions."
Irma "Well, how do you expect me to learn anything? Well, you just better get me back in time for my date or--or I'll—"
Shredder "Or you'll what?"
Irma "
Mr. Shredder?"
[gasps]
Mr. Shredder?"
Shredder "That's right, Irma. Welcome to our humble low-rent hideout."
Irma "Look, look. I-I'd love to get the complete tour, but, I have a date."
Shredder "Ha ha ha. You certainly do—
--with this robot. It's programmed to do just one thing; find and destroy the turtles."
[He pulls the sheet off of a small robot.]
--with this robot. It's programmed to do just one thing; find and destroy the turtles."
Irma "But what's all this got to do with me?"
Shredder "You'll soon see. Turtle Terminator, self-activate."
[The robot’s eyes light up and he starts stalking Irma. She begins backing away.]
Irma "F-f-forget it, fellas. I'm not into heavy metal."
[The robot grabs hold of Irma’s hands and then its entire body glows. Her body glows too.]
Irma "H-h-hey! Hey, cut it out. It tickles."
[The robot releases her and changes into a perfect replica of Irma.]
Shredder "Oh, it's working perfectly."
Irma "Hey, you look familiar."
[The Turtle Terminator responds in a robotic voice.]
Turtle Terminator "You look familiar."
Irma "Oh! It's me!"
Shredder "Oh, at last, the plan that will finally destroy the turtles."
[The turtles and April continue to investigate Irma’s apartment.]
Michelangelo "Wow, it was Rocksteady and Bebop that crashed this bash, for sure."
April "But where did they take Irma?"
Donatello "That might be a clue. It looks like someone tracked it in. If we knew what it is and where it came from, we'd know where they took Irma."
Leonardo "Then let's get started. April, you better get back to Channel 6 in case she turns up there."
April "Okay, guys, but be careful."
[Shredder and the Turtle Terminator approach the Channel 6 news building.]
Shredder "What is your mission, android Irma?"
Turtle Terminator "Locate turtles. Zap turtles."
Shredder "Exactly. At the first sign of the turtles, blast them!"
Turtle Terminator "Blast turtles at first sign."
Shredder "Ho ho! Splendid. Now get to it."
Balloon Vendor "Hey, get your balloons right here! Take some home to the kiddies."
[Amongst the helium balloons is one shaped like a turtle.]
Turtle Terminator "Turtles. Zap turtles."
[The Turtle Terminator’s eye light up and lasers shoot out to pop all the balloons. Then the Turtle Terminator enters the news building.]
Balloon Vendor "Hem-hm. Must be a balloon hater."
[Meanwhile, the turtles are driving through the city in their turtle van.]
Donatello "According to my analysis, that slimy green plant from Irma's apartment is a hunk of seaweed."
April "Seaweed? That means the mutants must be operating out of the waterfront district."
Raphael "Hey, give the lady a cigar."
Leonardo "We're headed for the waterfront now. Don't worry, April. We'll find Irma."
April "I hope so.
Irma! Irma, where have you been? Thank goodness you're all right."
[The Turtle Terminator walks past her.]
Irma! Irma, where have you been? Thank goodness you're all right."
[The turtles are driving along the waterfront.]
Leonardo "Oh, still no sign of Irma, or seaweed, either."
Donatello "I'll check in with April.
Donatello to April. Donatello to April."
[He calls on the turtlecom.]
Donatello to April. Donatello to April."
April "What's up, fellas?"
Donatello "April, where are you?"
April "I'm here at Channel 6 with Irma."
Leonardo "Irma? She's there? Is she okay?"
April "Okay? She's fantastic."
[The Turtle Terminator is at Irma’s desk, rapidly typing. The telephone rings.]
Turtle Terminator "Channel 6. Please hold. Channel 6, please hold. Channel 6, please hold."
Burne Thompson "Irma, would you please find the Wilson file you lost three days ago? I really need—"
Turtle Terminator "Here. Now get off my back."
Thompson "Irma, you amaze me."
Vernon "What are you doing, Irma, bucking for a big raise?"
Turtle Terminator "No, I'm on a mission, numskull."
April "And she insists Rocksteady and Bebop were never in her apartment."
Raphael "Yeah, sure. And I've never been in the sewers."
Leonardo "Then who or what made those big holes in Irma's wall?"
Michelangelo "Well, maybe like some truly humongous mice."
Leonardo "Wait!"
[He stops quickly when he sees a large hole in the ground.]
Donatello "That's a transport-module tunnel. That means Shredder is definitely in the area."
Leonardo "You know what this means, don't you?"
Raphael "Yeah. It's time for us turtles to catch some humongous mice."
Handsome Anchorman "Hi there, Irma baby."
Turtle Terminator "Oh, hello."
Handsome Anchorman "Well, this is it, lucky lady-- your big lunch date with me. Ha ha."
Turtle Terminator "Get lost."
Handsome Anchorman "Uh, you must have forgotten. I'm granting you one full hour with yours truly."
Turtle Terminator "I have a mission. I cannot leave."
Handsome Anchorman "Now wait just a minute. No one throws me over. No, no!
Whoa!"
[Turtle Terminator grabs him and throws him against a wall.]
Whoa!"
April "Wow, how weird! It's usually Irma who flips out over a date."
[Cut to the abandoned paint factory, where Irma is held prisoner.]
Bebop "Hey, Irma! We're starving."
Rocksteady "Yeah. What's happening with lunch?"
[Irma is at a stove, cooking. Smoke is billowing from the pan.]
Irma "It's burning, I think."
[She steps back and stomps on Rocksteady’s foot.]
Rocksteady "Ow! Owww! Ooh."
Irma "Oh, I'm sorry."
[She then steps on Bebop’s foot.]
Bebop "Yeow! Owww! Ow-ohh!"
Irma "Please forgive me. Oh, this--this kidnapping has me so upset."
Bebop "We oughta get hazard pay for this."
Rocksteady "Gee, I'd take any pay."
Bebop "Uh-oh. We got to put out that fire. I sure wish Shredder was here. Hey!"
[A transport module drills up into the room, shaking it violently.]
Rocksteady "Uh-oh."
[The oven flips over on top of Bebop and Rocksteady.]
Both "Whoa! Ohh!"
Rocksteady "You had to open your big mouth."
Shredder "Look at this place. I knew I couldn't trust you to carry out this assignment."
Rocksteady "Well, it ain't our fault, boss. It's this floozy here."
Bebop "Yeah, she's a real klutz."
Irma "Hold on! I resent that remark."
[She storms forward and stomps on Shredder’s foot.]
Shredder "Ow-ow-ouch! Aah-oww! Oh."
Irma "Oh, I'm sorry."
Bebop "See what I mean?"
[Back to the turtles, who have parked and are sitting in the van.]
Raphael "We've covered the waterfront for hours and still nothing."
Leonardo "Oh, we'll never find Shredder's hideout at this rate."
Michelangelo "Hey, dudes, wake up and smell the pizza. We can find him. It's a cinch."
Raphael "Oh, yeah? Exactly how do we do it?"
Michelangelo "We follow them."
[He points to Bebop and Rocksteady exiting a restaurant.]
Donatello "It's Bebop and Rocksteady."
Michelangelo "No duh."
[Back at the news building, Thompson is on the phone with his girlfriend.]
Thompson "Why, Tiffany, darling, I don't know where you heard such a story. You know you're my one and only, my very own turtledove."
Turtle Terminator "Turtles. Zap turtles."
[It laser blasts Thompson’s phone, which melts.]
Thompson "Wow. That Tiffany's hot, hot, hot, hot."
April "That's not Irma. It's—it’s some kind of robot. I've got to warn the turtles."
[The turtles have followed Bebop and Rocksteady back to the abandoned building.]
Leonardo "A robot? Irma's been replaced by a robot?"
April "Exactly-- some kind of turtle-destroying android."
Leonardo "Okay. We'll deal with it. But first, we've got to save the real Irma."
April "Please hurry. If anybody even whispers the word turtle, Channel 6 will be history."
Leonardo "You heard April. Let's go."
[Inside the building, they are eating dinner.]
Shredder "What humiliation. The future ruler of the universe reduced to eating Chinese takeout."
Rocksteady "Um, excuse me, your supreme highness, but could you pass the soy sauce?"
Irma "I've got some right here.
Oh. I-I'm so—"
[She accidently squirts the packet on Shredder.]
Oh. I-I'm so—"
Shredder "I know. Sorry."
Irma "I’ll- I'll get you a washcloth."
[She steps on his foot.]
Shredder "Ow!"
Irma "Sorry. Where would a supervillain keep his washcloths?"
[She walks close to a stack of barrels. The turtles are hiding behind them.]
Leonardo "Psst. Irma. Keep quiet and we'll get you out."
Irma "Oh, boy! You've come to rescue me! Now I can go on my date."
Turtles "Shh."
[She backs into a stack of paint cans and knocks them over.]
Shredder "The turtles! Get them!"
Michelangelo "Let the good times roll!"
[He kicks barrels at his enemies. Bebop and Rocksteady jump on top of them and roll towards Shredder.]
Both "Whoa! Ohh!"
Shredder "No! Look out!"
All "Whoa! Ohh!"
[They crash. Don runs over to the table holding the food.]
Donatello "How about some egg flew young?"
[He hits the table with his bō. Food goes flying and a bucket lands on Shredder’s head. His words are unintelligible as he tries to pry the bucket off.]
Rocksteady "What's he saying?"
Bebop "Heh heh. You don't want to know."
Leonardo "They're getting away!"
[They race towards the transport module.]
Rocksteady "Try these on for size, shellbacks."
[He pulls a cord and a canvas holding paint cans overhead falls. The cans land on the turtles and the transport module leaves.]
Leonardo "Oh, they got away."
Raphael "You expected something else?"
Donatello "At least Irma's safe."
[Back at Channel 6, Vernon is reading from a teletype.]
Vernon "Big story out on Interstate 5, Stan. A semi just flipped over and turned turtle."
[Turtle Terminator is walking by and hears him.]
Turtle Terminator "Turtle. Zap turtle."
[It zaps and melts the machine.]
Stan "I've heard of hot news flashes, but this is ridiculous."
April "Hurry, guys. That robot is getting more dangerous by the moment. It's going to destroy everyone at the station!"
[Irma is with the turtles inside the turtle van.]
Irma "Including that truly divine anchorman?"
April "I'm afraid so."
Irma "You heard April. Don't spare the turtle power."
[Underground, the transport module returns to the Technodrome. Shredder’s head is still stuck in the bucket.]
Krang "What do we have here, canned ham?"
Shredder "Ugh, ugh, arghh!"
[Bebop and Rocksteady pull the can off his head.]
Krang "My, Shredder, what a colorful entrance."
Shredder "This is no time for jokes. Your Turtle Terminator has failed."
Krang "We'll see about that. Turtle Terminator, this is your master."
Turtle Terminator "I await your command, Master."
Krang "Intercept those turtles and destroy them."
[Cut back to the van.]
Leonardo "We've got to get to Channel 6 right away."
Michelangelo "Not to worry, bud. We're just about there. Correction-- we're just about finished!"
[The Turtle Terminator is standing in the middle of the road.]
Leonardo "It's Irma!"
Michelangelo "No way, dude. She's totally bogus."
Irma "Oh, no! It's that robot again."
Leonardo "Her eyes are glowing."
Michelangelo "Whoa. How does she do that?"
Irma "I don't know, but it's kind of attractive."
[The Turtle Terminator shoots at them. A blast hits a tire.]
Michelangelo "Major bummer, dudes!
Banzai!"
[The van crashes.]
Banzai!"
[The turtles and Irma leap out of the van.]
All "Turtles fight with honor!"
Irma "And women fight with handbags!"
[April suddenly drives up in the Channel 6 news van, stopping between her friends and the Turtle Terminator.]
April "Quick! Everyone inside."
Leonardo "Why should we run?"
[The robot blasts a hole in the sidewalk.]
Raphael "That's a pretty good reason."
Donatello "We can't fight that thing here. The whole city will be wasted."
Raphael "Okay, Einstein, so where do we go?"
Donatello "I don't know, but first, let's convince it to come out with us. Hey, lady, want a lift?"
Turtle Terminator "Must get turtles."
[It lights up and the light shoots out to surround the van.]
April "Hey, we're going nowhere fast."
Donatello "That Irma android is using some kind of magnetic ray."
Raphael "So much for taking that robot anywhere."
Donatello "No, we can do it. Let the robot grab us, April."
[She lets off the gas pedal and the van smacks into the robot, which clings to the back end.]
Raphael "Now what?"
Donatello "Quick. Head for the abandoned amusement park."
April "You've got it, Donatello."
[Their enemies watch on the monitor inside the Technodrome.]
Krang "At last, the turtles are about to be defeated."
Shredder "I wouldn't count my turtles before they've hatched, Krang."
Krang "You're so negative. Trust me. Nothing can go wrong."
[The van reaches the amusement park and stops.]
Leonardo "Everybody out. April, you and Irma take cover. We'll handle this."
April "But—but—"
Irma "You heard him, April. When turtles talk, Irma listens."
Michelangelo "Yo, dudette. Let's tango.
Ohh!"
[It shoots lasers at his feet. He jumps into Raphael’s arms.]
Ohh!"
Raphael "I thought you liked a women with fire in her eyes."
Irma "I sure wish we could find something to eat."
April "Irma, how can you think of food at a time like this?"
Irma "Hey, I'm starving. I never had lunch with that gorgeoso anchorman, remember? Oh, boy! A vending machine! And it's got my favorite health food-- chocolate-covered marshmallow fudge cake."
Leonardo "Well, Donatello, got any ideas how we can stop that robot?"
Donatello "Just one. Overload its targeting circuits and burn it out."
Raphael "Bodacious notion, but, like, how?"
Donatello "Simple. We give it more targets than it can handle."
Leonardo "All right, let's do it."
All "Here we are! Over here! Hey, android!"
Leonardo "It's gone."
Donatello "But where did it go?"
April "Irma? Irma, where are you? Irma, where did you disappear to?"
Turtle Terminator "Disappear to?"
Irma "April, you'll never believe it-- I found this fantastic machine with all this health food and--oops."
Turtle Terminator "Who are you, and who does your hair?"
Irma "Well, you see, I just came along for the ride with the tur--uh!"
[April covers her mouth.]
April "Whatever you do, don't use the "t" word."
Irma "The "t" word? What "t" word? Oh! You mean turtles."
Turtle Terminator "Turtles?"
Leonardo "Fellas, we've got a real problem if we can't find that android."
The Women "Yeow! Help! Ow!"
Raphael "Sounds like April and Irma just found it for us."
Leonardo "Great. Time to implement our game plan."
Irma "Why didn't you warn me the "t" word was turtles?"
April "Irma, you're hopeless."
Raphael "Okay, batter up."
[He throws baseballs at the robot. The Turtle Terminator blasts them out of the air and then starts blasting the booth Raphael is hiding behind.]
Raphael "Visitors eight, home team nothin'."
[Inside a shooting gallery stand, Michelangelo waves his arms.]
Michelangelo "Hey, babe. Hit me with your best shot.
Ha! Not even close. You gotta do better than that."
[He dodges as it shoots.]
Ha! Not even close. You gotta do better than that."
Leonardo "So much for that plan. It's not getting overloaded."
Donatello "We need more targets yet. And I know just the place."
Turtle Terminator "Destroy turtles."
Raphael "Ladies and gentlemen! Robots and androids! Step right up! All the turtles you can shoot at! Thousands of tantalizing turtle targets!"
[He lures the robot towards a fun house.]
Krang "Turtle Terminator, stop! Don't go in there. I command you."
Turtle Terminator "Must not stop. Must destroy turtles."
Krang "It's cut me off. It won't respond!"
Shredder "Big deal. It's going into a fun house."
Krang "Don't you understand? The only thing that could destroy that robot is in the fun house."
Raphael "Hey, laser-breath! Your mother wears steel sneakers."
[It shoots at him but hits a mirror. Donatello appears in several mirrors.]
Donatello "Can't zap me. Can't zap me. Nyah nyah nyah-nyah nyah!"
Michelangelo "No, dudette, lay it on me."
[The turtles appear in a bunch of mirrors.]
Donatello "Hey, over here."
Leonardo "No. Over here."
Raphael "No. Over here."
Michelangelo "Over here! Me first! I'm here, dude!"
[The robot shoots all the mirrors and then its head starts spinning. Smoke rises and the Irma disguise burns off.]
Irma "Wow. Talk about blowing a gasket."
Michelangelo "Truly radical strategy, fearless leader, but what put you onto the mirror bit, huh?"
Leonardo "I remembered Master Splinter's words-- "things are not always what they seem”."
Donatello "You know, I think I can repair and reprogram this thing."
April "Why would you want to do that?"
Donatello "For one final mission."
[Shift back to the Technodrome.]
Shredder "Well, Krang, it appears your Turtle Terminator was a turkey."
Krang "The experiment isn't over yet.
Now, who could that be?"
[A transport module arrives.]
Now, who could that be?"
Turtle Terminator "Zap Shredder, zap Krang, and zap mutants."
[It starts zapping them.]
All "Yeow! Yeow! Yieee! Owww! Ooh-ow! Yieee-ooh! Eeyow! Ooh! Owww!"
Rocksteady "No fair!"
[In an alley near the Channel 6 building.]
Irma "I did what to the anchorman?"
April "You threw him right across the room."
Irma "What am I gonna tell him?"
Donatello "Just tell him the truth."
Leonardo "Donatello's right. The truth never hurts."
Michelangelo "Yeah, and, like, here's your chance now."
Irma "Yoo-hoo! Mr. Incredibly Handsome Anchorman! I can explain."
[The anchorman is on crutches and is panicked at her approach.]
Handsome Anchorman "No, no! Keep away!"
[She runs into him and both fall.]
Both "Ohh! Ohh!"
Irma "What can I say but-- oops?"
Leonardo "On second thought, maybe the truth does hurt."
