Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

We're really hip.

He's a radical rat.

And that's a fact, Jack.

Ah, just a little adjustment...

here.

Hm, yeah.

Hey dudes, what's the haps?

Shh! Cool it!

Well, excuse me!

What's the teen green genius up to now?

Well, we're not sure

but we think it's an electronic,

state of the art, microwave pizza oven.

All right! Monumental notion, dude!

Hold it down, guys. This is a delicate moment.

Just one micro millimeter more,

and... there!

Finished.

All right! I'll toss the dough.

I'll heat the sauce.

And I'll grate the cheese.

Hold the phone. That's not a pizza oven!

Of course it's not a pizza oven.

It happens to be the world's first time-stopping machine.

Get serious, dude.

A time stopper? Forget it. Bummer.

Who needs it?

I wonder if Thomas Edison had to put up with this.

Uh-oh. I think we hurt his feelings.

Don't you guys realize this could be the most incredible invention

of the 20th century?

I thought that was the pizza oven.

Will you guys quit thinking with your stomachs

instead of your brains?

Now watch.

Watch those sewer rats

when the time-stopper ray hits them.

Whoa, fantabulouso!

For our furry little friends,

time has stopped.

You'll notice there are no strings, wires or mirrors.

Big deal. So your gizmo works on rats.

What's that got to do with us highly evolved turtle types?

Michelangelo, you have just volunteered for an experiment.

I have?

How humiliating--

the great scientist, Professor Lloyd Cycloid,

forced to float through the sewers on a pile of garbage.

But not for long. Once I launch my invention, the Cycloid Satellite,

the world will see what a genius I really am.

Whoa!

Once I gather up the necessary parts,

my satellite will numb the brain

of every being on Earth.

Then I will be the smartest person in the world!

And they said I'd gone round the bend!

Thank you for inviting me

to your demonstration, Donatello.

Your opinions are always honored, sensei.

Okay, Michelangelo, ready when you are.

I've never been a test turtle before.

Watch this for me, would you, Raphael?

Let me know when to smile and say "pizza cheese."

All right, now!

Eee-yah!

Quite remarkable.

Remarkable indeed. Congratulations, Donatello.

What Michelangelo doesn't know

is that our time keeps moving on

while his time is stopped.

I've always felt that way about Michelangelo.

And when the ray wears off, what then?

He'll just drop to the ground and say,

"See, dude? I told you it wouldn't work."

I know just how to prove all this did happen.

When he comes to, this pizza will be history.

That's what you think.

Raphael unable to eat

is perhaps more incredible than Michelangelo

unable to move.

You said a mouthful, Master.

This will be proof enough.

Now, let their time resume, Donatello.

Right, sensei.

Yah!

Oof!

Um!

See, I told you it wouldn't work.

Whoa, where's my grappling hook?

More importantly, where's my pizza?

Well, there's a fresh baked one in the oven.

Hey, let's break for some munchies. What do you say?

I say all right!

Hey, wait for me!

Ooh boy, a time-stopper!

With that invention, I can complete the invention of my own invention,

the Cycloid Satellite!

Trespassers in the lair!

The time-stopper, it's gone!

Over there! That little weird dude's got it.

Well, let's get it back.

Where are your manners? Finders keepers!

Turtle power!

Ha ha, you gorgeous little beauty, you!

And you even come with batteries included.

Mwah!

This is April O'Neil at the Museum of Historical Art,

the site of the most baffling antique theft in history,

the famous Tu-Tu Karmen exhibit.

This is the museum's director.

Can you tell us what happened, sir?

I just don't know.

One minute we unveiled the solid gold head

of Tu-Tu Karmen, and the next minute,

zhoop, it was gone.

We'll show you just what he means.

Here's the videotape of the actual unveiling.

And now may I present

the priceless golden head of King Tu-Tu Karmen.

Tu-Tu Karmen's head! Where did it go?

You home viewers saw it with your own eyes.

It's as if everything stopped for an instant

and then started again.

Only the solid gold head of Tu-Tu Karmen was gone.

This is a baffled April O'Neil signing off.

One could do exactly that with Donatello's time stopper.

I must notify him of this.

Those fools think this head is made of gold,

but it's actually deridium,

a super hard metal that I need for my invention.

Now to put it together!

Donatello, I must speak to you.

Oh no!

They must have been struck

by the rays of Donatello's time-stopping apparatus.

I must use it to reactivate them.

It's not here!

Without that device,

they could be frozen like that forever!

My poor students.

I hope there is a time limit to their frozen state.

Power!

Where'd that bozo go?

The dude split!

That's impossible.

He was standing right there.

Ah, thank goodness.

It wore off just as I hoped it would.

Now I remember.

That weird little guy was trying to steal my time-stopper.

I'm afraid he was successful.

He turned it against you and ran off with it.

Oh no! That thing could be dangerous in the wrong hands.

Most dangerous.

April just reported an astonishing robbery.

The head of an Egyptian idol disappeared right in front

of a large crowd and the T.V. cameras.

It appears the thief is using your amazing invention

for evil purposes, Donatello.

Then I guess it's up to us to get it back.

Mondo concept, dude,

but how we gonna do it?

I haven't the slightest idea.

This is April O'Neil

at the world famous Philo Testing Laboratories,

bringing you a Channel 6 exclusive:

the first test firing of an amazing new laser device.

They claim this laser beam will slice through anything

from a two-foot thick titanium wall

to a year-old pizza crust.

A year-old pizza crust?

Really, sir, don't you find that a bit hard to swallow?

It's quite true, Miss O'Neil, I assure you.

Allow me to demonstrate.

A two-foot thick wall of titanium?

Precisely.

You and your camera man may stand behind it.

Oh, stand behind this thing?

You're lucky we got the wall, Vernon.

We could have gotten a year-old pizza instead.

This will allow you to photograph the beam

as it cuts right through the titanium.

Are you ready?

Ready, Professor. Fire away!

All right. Stand by, Miss O'Neil.

Stand by, cameras.

Lloyd Cycloid standing by.

That laser gun is just what I need to cut the deridium.

Five... four...
