[from trailer]

Eric Sachs: Crime, violence and fear have run rampant. Our great city is being destroyed. People want justice restored to this world. People want heroes, Miss O'Neil.

[unveils an array of chemicals]

Eric Sachs: But heroes are not born, they're created. That's what your father and I were trying to do: create heroes.

[April takes a picture]

Michelangelo: What was that?

Donatello: It's a camera flash...

[later on]

Raphael: I only saw Batman once!

[as the Turtles leave]

Leonardo: [to April] Do NOT say a word about this to anyone. If you do, we will find you. April O'Neil.

[from trailer]

Leonardo: We were created as weapons, and we knew the world would never accept us... but one day, it would need us.

Leonardo: I'll take it!

[the Turtles show off their assault van]

[gets thrown into a wall]

[April meets the Turtles for the first time]

April O'Neil: What are you?

Leonardo: Well, miss, we're ninjas.

Raphael: We're mutants!

Donatello: Technically, we're turtles.

Michelangelo: And we're teenagers. But we can have adult conversations.

April O'Neil: So, you're... Ninja Mutant Turtle Teenagers?

Donatello: When you put it like that, it sounds ridiculous!

[from trailer]

Raphael: [to Leo] Why are you always telling me what to do?

Raphael: We're bulletproof...

Leonardo: Sweet!

[the Turtles charge at the Shredder]

Michelangelo: COWABUNGA!

[the Turtles take April and Vernon through the sewers]

[Splinter tosses a pizza at Michelangelo]

Michelangelo: Starting to crack...

[the Turtles sneak back home]

Leonardo: [whispers] Fall in, QUIETLY.

[Michaelangelo slips]

Leonardo: Shhh! If Master Splinter catches us, he'll send us back to the Hashi.

Raphael: I ain't going back to the Hashi!

Leonardo: [shoves Raph] Every time we're in the Hashi, it's because of YOU!

Raphael: [shoves Leo] Well, bro, you don't have to worry about me dragging you down anymore!

Michelangelo: What's that supposed to mean?

Raphael: I'm going out on my own, first chance I get.

Michelangelo: How're we gonna finish our hip hop Christmas album, bro? You're the hype man!

[everyone starts shushing each other]

Leonardo: Nobody's going out, we all stick together!

Michelangelo: [to Raph] Sorry I spat in your eye, bro.

[the Turtles are in an elevator]

Michelangelo: [taps a rhythm on his nunchuks] MC Mikey!

[his brothers follow suit with their weapons]

[the Turtles and April start to plummet to the ground]

Leonardo: Does anyone have anything they wanna say? Donnie?

Donatello: I'm the one who eats the icing off the pop tarts in the morning and puts them back in the box!

Michelangelo: I so did not understand the ending of Lost!

Leonardo: Raph?

Raphael: I just... uh, uh... If this our last moment together, I just want you guys to know I'm sorry! I'm sorry I was so hard on you! Ugh. Everytime I pushed you I... I threatened you, I yelled at you, I pushed you beyond your limits, it's because I believe in you! I believe in each one of you! I believe in you spirit and your intelligence and your potential! And every time I talked about walking away it was because I was scared! I just didn't think I was good enough to stand next to you and call you brothers, and say to you, I love you! I love you guys so much!

Donatello: Raph... we made it. You crying?

Raphael: No, ding dong. It's just a little dusty out here.

Donatello: [wakes up April] Ma'am, can you hear me? Do you know what city you're in? Do you know where you are?

Michelangelo: Have you seen that video where the cat is playing Chopsticks with chopsticks?

Bernadette Thompson: There are four six-foot talking turtles walking around New York City, and no one has seen them but you?

April O'Neil: That's what I'm telling you.

Bernadette Thompson: Okay, get out.

Splinter: Shredder.

Shredder: All these years I've been trying to recreate the mutagen. And you... you just handed it to me.

Splinter: [draws his sword] You will not lay a hand on my sons!

Shredder: [laughs] Your sons? You think you're their father?

[the Turtles crowd around a wounded Splinter; Splinter whispers to Michelangelo]

Leonardo: What did he say?

Michelangelo: He said "Please take your knee off my chest."

[Michelangelo stares at April]

Michelangelo: [whispers] Oh, she's hot, I can feel my shell tightening...

Raphael: We can hear you!

Eric Sachs: [shoots at April] This is history, repeating itself! Your father walked in on me, April, just like you did!

April O'Neil: You killed my father...

April O'Neil: Swing me toward him!

[the Turtles swing April at Shredder and she knocks him off]

Michelangelo: That's my girl!

[first lines]

Splinter: You are extraordinary, my sons. Unlike anything the world has ever seen. Bowed in greatness, destined to protect the people of New York! A dark force is growing: a criminal organization known as the Foot Clan, so named because they step over the good people of this city with no regard. Their leader, Shredder, will come at you with ferocity. His Foot Clan will outnumber you! The people of New York will look upon you as their only hope. Eyes focused! Elbows locked! Stance lowered! Be one with the blades! I know you are eager to answer their calls. But your training is not yet complete. The world below must remain your home. As your father, you must trust me and be patient. You are not yet ready to go above ground, but I believe when that day comes, when you rise to the streets, you will be responsible for amazing things.

[Splinter catches the Turtles sneaking in]

Splinter: Where have you been?

[knocks down Leonardo]

Raphael: We were working out!

[gets knocked down]

Donatello: I forgot to soak my retainer!

[gets knocked down]

Michelangelo: I'm totally sleepwalking! Mikey's sleeping, and walking, he's totally innocent!

[gets knocked down]

[Splinter brings out a pizza since his children won't speak]

Splinter: Of course, you've all tasted the five-cheese pizza. But this... cheesemongers have speculated its existence for centuries. Da Vinci's original masterpiece. I submit to you... Novantanove Formaggio, The 99-cheese pizza!

Michelangelo: It's not possible...

Donatello: Mikey, it's a trap! A pizza with that variety of cheese is a culinary impossibility!

Splinter: [holds out a piece to Michelangelo] Shall I list the ingredients? Cheddar... Provolone...

Leonardo: Mikey, don't you do it!

Splinter: Asiago...

Donatello: Keep it together!

Splinter: Taleggio...

Michelangelo: I don't even know what that is...

Splinter: Mozzarella, of course...

Michelangelo: [cracks] Okay, okay, okay... We left the lair because the Foot were taking hostages, and we totally kicked butt, and there was this girl named April O'Neil who took our picture... but we took care of it!

Leonardo: All these years you told us we were rescued from the fire by a great guardian spirit, a hogosha.

Splinter: That's right.

[points at April]

Splinter: This is the hogosha.

[all the Turtles bow to April]

Michelangelo: [whispers] Dude, my girlfriend is the hogosha...

[Leo hits him]

Splinter: Like all children, they were drawn to the distractions of popular culture. And I knew, one day they would want to explore the world above.

[remembers the young turtles dancing to Hollaback Girl]

Splinter: They would be ridiculed. They would need to learn to protect themselves, both mentally and physically.

[while sweeping, Splinter finds a book on ninjutsu]

Splinter: And then I found a way. First, I would teach myself the ancient art of ninjutsu. The others followed my lead, accelerating at a wondrous rate. Their gift was also their passion; they lived, breathed and dreamed of martial arts. Then, they were ready.

Splinter: Listen closely, April. I don't remember a time before living in that laboratory. That fateful night started like any other: Sachs gave us our injections, your father made sure our vital signs were strong, and you as always provided us with a special treat. After the brothers went to sleep, I heard loud voices... it was the smell of smoke. Alarms sounded. Your father had discovered the truth behind the man he was working for. He set fire to the lab; his last breath was taken trying to destroy Shredder's plan. I was terrified. But then you appeared, and ushered us to safety.

Splinter: I never had a voice, then. But I thank you now, April.

Splinter: Everything they are, and everything they have become, was made possible by the bravery you displayed on that fateful night.

April O'Neil: I was just a little girl...

Splinter: And you gave us freedom, where others would have kept us in cages.

[the young Turtles play buck-buck, Raphael walks off]

Leonardo: Where're you going, Raph? I need all of you!

Raphael: It's stupid - like you, Mikey!

[Raph discovers his brothers are in cages, with one cage empty]

Shredder: Raphael, glad you could join us. The fourth cage is for you!

Michelangelo: Leo's in trouble!

Raphael: My shell's cracked... just duct tape it up...

Donatello: Allow me to be the badass for once!

[goes to save Leonardo]

[all the Turtles get jammed in a tunnel]

Donatello: [smells a fart] Mikey, was that you?

Michelangelo: Eh... pepperoni.

Raphael: Ram the gate!

Vernon Fenwick: Ram the gate? This is Channel 6 property!

Raphael: I SAID RAM THE GATE!

Raphael: Looking for this?

[holds up April's phone]

April O'Neil: No no no, don't break that! Please!

Leonardo: [takes the phone out of Raph's hand] How many times do I have to tell you? We don't break things, we fix them. Donnie already wiped the pic, genius! Problem solved! Moving on!

Raphael: Who made you boss?

Leonardo: You know who did.

[both get in each others' faces]

Michelangelo: Oooh, tension. It's been like thirty whole minutes since you had this conversation.

Eric Sachs: [sees April and Vernon] You two are adorable. I could just pinch your cheeks!

[shoots at them]

Leonardo: [on a subway] All aboard!

[attacks the Foot]

[the Turtles bring April to their lair]

Michelangelo: Welcome to my crib, girl!

April O'Neil: Where are we?

Michelangelo: This is our Fortress of Solitude, our Hogwarts, our Xavier's Academy, our secret Wonderland!

April O'Neil: [sniffs] Are we in the sewer?

Michelangelo: No...

Donatello: Technically, yes.

Michelangelo: [spars with Donnie] Wassup, bro? You want some of this? I'm like a ghost! I'm over here, then I'm over here bro! I'm a shadow! I'm a flying shadow fire dragon!

[Donatello knocks him down]

[April stares at the Turtles]

Raphael: See, she's looking at us like we're freaks! I bet that's why you took our picture, wasn't it, to show to your friends?

Michelangelo: Bro, that's a good thing. Maybe she has hot friends!

April O'Neil: SHREDDER!

[stabs the Shredder with one of Raphael's sais]

Shredder: You stupid little girl...

[deleted scene]

April O'Neil: [on air] Three days ago, New York would have called Eric Sachs its hero. But today, we know he's one of the greatest villains this city has ever faced. How were we so easily fooled? And what can we learn from this tragedy? Maybe, it's that heroes aren't exactly who you might expect them to be. They're not wealthy billionaires, they're not square-jawed comic-book characters with flowing capes. Heroes can be anyone. Like the vigilantes that saved this city. They were born in shadow, they live in shadow, they fight in shadow, and they always will.

[April and Vernon spot the Turtle Van moving through a crowd]
