Donatello: The city has a life all its own,

especially at night.

Sometimes it's quiet, too quiet.

But you don't notice.

And maybe you should.

Because in the darkness, when you're all alone,

you never know what could be lurking around the next corner...

...or even at your own backdoor!

- And you always think... - ( heartbeat )

...nothing bad is ever gonna happen to you...

...so you have to ask yourself, "Are you ready?"

( gasping )

Well, are you?

- ( bells ring ) - April? Anybody home?

( April screams )

No!

April's in trouble!

( grunting )

I give, I give!

Huh?

Easy, April, it's only me.

Huh?

Casey!

What the heck are you doing?

That has to be the dumbest thing in the history

of dumbest things anybody could ever do.

What were you thinking?!

I'm thinking, I'm glad that's just a whiffle bat. Sheesh.

No! I mean, why would you do such a thing?

You asked me to, remember?

I did not!

Sure you did.

You was braggin' about your ninja fightin' skills

and I said, "I ought to sneak up on you sometime

and test how good you was."

And you said, "That sounded like an interesting idea."

Um, so...

How are you guys doing?

I was about to make some hot chocolate,

I can easily make enough for five.

- Hot chocolate! - That would be awesome.

- Count me in! - Yeah, ha-ha.

Great, I love hot chocolate.

One, two, three, four, and five.

Oh!

Come on, April, you weren't that scared.

You beat the crud out of me.

( grunts )

April? Guys?

Jeez, everybody's so sensitive around here.

Think Casey's okay out there?

( phone ringing )

That's probably him now.

He's such a bone head.

- Uh, hello? - ( static )

Uh, it's not Casey. Sounds like somebody's trying to send a fax.

Ooh, that Casey gets me so mad.

What are you talking about, April?

You totally clobbered him.

Well, it's just that I really thought

I was getting somewhere in my training with Master Splinter.

But Casey caught me totally by surprise.

I should've heard him coming.

You guys would have.

It takes a lot of practice.

Master Splinter spent a lot of time training us

to be aware of our surroundings at all times.

After a while though,

if you've studied hard enough,

you get a sixth sense for it.

Maybe you guys could help with my ninja training.

No way!

Why not? I'm a quick learner.

No, April, it's not you, it's us.

Last time we tried to play sensei,

well, let's just say it didn't work out too well.

Yeah, we thought we could teach this kid, ha-ha,

and we were just kids ourselves.

Raph, that's no way to tell a story.

Here, let me do it.

( uses deep voice ) It was a dark and stormy night,

in a galaxy far, far away.

- Mikey! - Uh, unh...

( regular voice ) I mean, many moons ago,

on a night much like this one...

( laughing )

...we were four young turtle-tots,

facing the most horrible of dangerous dangers,

da-da-daa, the wrath of Master Splinter.

Leonardo: We'd been warned.

We knew what we were not supposed to be doing.

( gasping )

Do not go to the surface,

Never ever go up to the street.

It is far too dangerous!

( gasps )

Under no circumstances should you ever go above ground.

If you ever even think of going topside, just do not!

You had better hope I never catch you going out of the sewers!

( gulping )

April: So, what did you guys do?

Donatello: We went topside.

When we finally got the lid off.

No cuttin' in line.

Then move your big, fat shell.

It's amazing, all this open space.

Man, Master Splinter's been holding out on us.

Up here it's, it's...

Beautiful.

Michelangelo: What we didn't know was that just around the corner

was destiny.

Or actually it was this kid who needed help.

( kids shouting )

It's Danny McDonough and his wolf pack.

Man, those guys think they own the street.

How come they gotta play in front of my steps, Stevie?

I'll help you.

We'll stand up to them, unh.

( gulps )

I'd like to, but they'd just beat the crud outta us.

You go on around to go home, I'll be okay.

Be careful. I'll see you tomorrow.

Hey guys, here comes Arnie dork.

You forgot to pay your toll yesterday.

This here's our street.

I don't want no trouble.

Well, you got trouble, doesn't he boys?

- Come on! - Let's get him!

( taunting )

Come on, let me alone!

I didn't do nothing to you!

I am Raphael, king of the trash!

Whoa!

Sorry, Raph, but you're the trash and I'm the king!

All hail, Leo!

King of the trash dump!

Guys, somebody's coming.

( kids shouting )

Come on, let's get this guy!

Ahh, crud.

Poor little fella.

He ran into a dead end.

( gasps )

( laughing )

( fighting, shouting )

Somebody ought to help that kid.

Yeah, finally, some real action.

Remember, we can't be seen.

Get him!

Oww, hey man, what's your deal?

Oww, hey, cut it out!

- Aah-- - Hey watch it!

( cackling )

Woman: Donnie...

- ( gasping ) - ...lunchtime.

- Next time, pay your toll - Donnie McDonough...

if you want to use the street!

Come on, we're out of here!

Woman: Where are you boy?

Michelangelo: That's when young Master Leo

convinced us to help the kid out.

Donatello: To train him, so he wouldn't need

little green guardian angels all the time.

Leonardo: We thought we already knew everything there was to know

about ninjutsu, so how hard could teaching be?

Raphael: And it had to be better than being

stuck in the sewers, doing nothin'.

Okay, you guys know the plan-- we'll each take turns

teaching the kid what we know, agreed?

All: Agreed!

But remember guys, no matter what happens,

we can't let Master Splinter know what we're up to.

( groans )

Hey, kid! I saw what happened earlier.

You know, you really shouldn't let those bullies

push you around like that.

Unh, it's no biggy, I'll heal.

It is a big deal.

It's a matter of honor.

You can't surrender your honor so easily.

The street belongs to everybody.

Not for guys like you and me.

We're too small.

No! Those guys are small

because they have no heart and no honor.

My sensei-- my teacher, always taught me

that true strength comes from within.

Yeah, maybe, but how do you get it on the outside?

You train.

Train in the art of self defense.

Huh? Whoa!

I can help you, teach you.

First of all, you have to be serious

about wanting to change things.

You have to feel the power, connect with the power.

( grunting )

Find your inner core, your honor, your true heart.

Have you found it yet?

Uh, I don't think so.

Uh, little dude, I can't feel my legs.

That's a good thing. Stay focused and breathe

and you'll find your true strength.

( grunting )

Excellent, Michelangelo.

Donatello, lift your leg higher for the kick.

Hyah!

Sorry, Master Splinter.

That is enough for now.

You may rest, my son.

It is Leonardo's turn to train.

Uh, oh boy.

Come, Leonardo.

But, Master Splinter, we wanna keep practicing!

But it is Leonardo's turn.

Leo, won't mind, will you Leonardo?

Uh, wave if it's okay, Leonardo.

See, Leo doesn't mind.

Hmm.

Uh... Uh...

Is this right, Master Splinter?

What about this leaping over the leg sweep?

I think I'm getting better.

I said, enough practice!

Leonardo!

Leonardo?

( grunting )

This is it, it's all over. We are so cooked.

1, 2, 3, 4!

1, 2, 3, 4!

♪ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ♪

Leonardo!

Ah!

Yes, Master Splinter.

It is time for your practice.

Oh, okay! Coming Sensei.

Sorry I didn't answer earlier.

I kind of dozed off there for a moment.

( yawns )

( grunting )

Now, the student has become the master, ha-ha-ha!

Ready for more learning?

Well, I've been trying to be serious and breathe and stuff

to find my inner strength, like you said,

but it kind of makes my head hurt.

And I still can't feel my legs.

What, are you kidding me?

Get up, get up!

Forget all that bologna.

The first and most important lesson is this:

You need the right attitude.

And part of having a winning attitude

is having a cool battle cry.

A heroic super hero kind of battle cry,

like in the comic books.

I got it! Goru Goru Sama!

Go-ro-ro bo... whata?

Goru Goru Sama!

It means, Mr. Thunder! Goru Goru Sama!

It's perfect for you!

If you yell out Goru Goru Sama while charging into battle,

your foes will flee like cowards before you!

Ooh, I really wanna see that!

Come on, let's try it!

Aww, they're just gonna cream me again.

Raphael: Not with your cool new heroic battle cry!

( kids playing )

Remember, Goru Goru Sama!

Now, go get 'em!

Hmm...

( grunts )

Goro Gorbolo-ama!

Ahh...

- Get him! - Let's get him.

Go-go-ro...

- ( fists pounding ) - bo-ama!

Ow! Ow!

Maybe I didn't give him the right name.

How's it going?

Um, great?

Good, because I've got something really special

planned for him. He's gonna love it.

It's important to really think your actions through.

It's all like a game of chess.

You have to be thinking three to four moves ahead of your adversary.

Planning, knowing what's coming.

Uh...

Uh...

( clock ticking )

Unh...

( cooing )

Well, it might take a little more time. I guess.

Uh, I'll be right back.

Hmm.

Good luck.

I've been studying the board like you said

and I still don't get it.

I like the horsey, though.

I'm trying to think it through, but I don't know.

Listen pal, the first and most important lesson is,

never think, never!

Just act and react and always attack!

I sure wish you'd make up your mind.

"Be serious. Use your battle cry.

Think it through. Never think."

I don't get it!

What you need is a weapon.

It's all about the weapons.

We gotta find you some kind of weapon.

Ha! You try!

Uh, okay.

( grunts )

- Ah! - Ugh!

Hmm, maybe you just need a better target.

Let's see how you do in combat.

Now, remember, focus on your weapons.

It's all about the weapons.

Hmm...

Hey, come on. Pass it over here.

( chattering )

( grunts )

Huh?

( chattering, pounding )

( fists thumping )

Maybe we need to work on the kids aim a little.

- Or find him a different weapon. - Kid: Ow!

Now, I wish for you to take what you have learned

and use it in pairs.

Michelangelo and Leonardo,

Donatello and Raphael.

Where is Raphael?

Uh...he's in the shower?

All: Yeah, yeah, he's in the shower!

You four have been acting very strangely of late.

Uh, uh, Raphael?

Time to get out of the shower!

Heh.

Raphael?

Raphie, hold still...

There.

What was that for?

You just got out of the shower.

( grunting )

I just got out of the shower, Sensei.

Hum, I can see that.

Do you always shower with your mask on?

Uh, yeah, it's a great way to keep it clean.

Come, let us resume your training.

Okay, now it's time to try out

what you've learned, to face your enemies.

But you already made me face them twice

and they creamed me both times.

Uh, I did?

Well, just try it again using everything you've learned.

So, do you think he learned anything?

I hope so.

I mean, you taught him basic self defense, right, Mikey?

How to punch and kick, and I covered inner strength.

I didn't teach him any fighting skills.

I thought Raph was gonna.

I didn't. Donnie, did you?

Oh shell!

Kid: Go-suma-gowa!

( grunting )

Okay, we're gonna start over

but this time with the real basics.

Right, or as Master Splinter would say,

"The foundation of any house must start strong and..."

Aah!

All: Master Splinter!

1, 2, 3, 4!

1, 2, 3, 4!

♪ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ♪

Um, Master Splinter, we can explain.

We've been teaching.

Like you, but not as good as you.

You know, trying to follow in your footsteps.

There's this kid and, uh--

Enough! Home! Now!

But the kid!

We can't just abandon him.

You are not ready to teach!

You could do more damage than good.

The boy must find his own path,

as you must find yours.

Now come. We are going home.

( all groaning )

( laughing )

Whoa, man, was Splinter angry!

He must've made us practice for 78 hours straight.

I think he wanted to make sure we were so tired,

we wouldn't be able to go top-side.

So, whatever happened to this kid?

Ya know? I don't know.

I'll just have to tell that kid in the red hat

that training isn't working.

Guess I just don't have what it takes.

Hey, geek-boy, doin' a little reading?

Oh, you gonna cry?

Oh, look, he's gonna cry.

Give it back.

Stevie?

( growling )

What are you gonna do about it?

- ( shrieking ) - Huh?

( shrieking )

- Gah! - Oooh!

( groans )

Get 'em!

( all shouting )

Ugh! ( groans )

Ooooh! Uh!

( both grunting )

Ugh! Ohh!

- Whoa! - C'mon! Let's go!

- Let's get outta here! - Run!

Uh...

That's right! You better run!

You bullies better watch it, 'cause Arnold Casey Jones

ain't lettin' you push nobody around no more!

Goorah, goorah,

Googala! ( echoing )

Wow.

Come on, Steve. I'll walk ya home.
