Quotes 

• April O'Neil : I feel like I've gone from happily single to mother of four over night.

  Splinter : Tell me about it.

• Donatello : I was thinking that the Shredder had a bigger hand in our lives than we know. Without the Shredder, we'd all still be pet turtles in a glass jar right now.

  Michaelangelo : [Imitating Gary Coleman]  What you talkin' 'bout, Willis?

  Donatello : Well, allow me to explain: As you all may recall, we got mutated by that strange ooze when we were only babies.

  Splinter : I remember it as if it were yesterday. You were all so cute.

  Donatello : The ooze that mutated us came from the TCRI building, right? And, why did the TCRI building even exist? Because the Utroms were trying to build their Transmat so they could go home. And why did the Utroms need to go home?

  Michaelangelo : Because they were late for dinner?

  Donatello : No, because an evil prisoner they were transporting across the galaxy sabotaged their starship, causing them to crash land on Earth centuries ago. And they've been trapped here ever since. And who was this evil prisoner that caused the Utroms so much trouble? He was in fact... Drumroll please.

  [Drumroll] 

  Donatello : He was in fact... The Shredder! Ergo, the Shredder had a direct hand in our creation. See what I mean?

  Raphael : I think I speak for everyone when I say, "No".

  Michaelangelo : Ladies and mutants, how NOT to tell our origin story.

• Splinter : Attacking a wounded soldier. You have no honor.

  Shredder : I fight to win.

• April O'Neil : [Referring to the turtles and Casey]  Well, it's definitely a family. But do you think we'll ever be able to teach "the kids" some manners?

  Splinter : Miss O'Neil, teaching them the ancient art of Ninjitsu was hard enough. I'm afraid even I cannot work miracles.

• Splinter : How many times have I told you not to sneak up to the surface?

  Michaelangelo : This month?

  Donatello : About 512, Sensai.

• Splinter : You should never have tried to face The Shredder alone. He is too powerful.

  Donatello : You're telling me. I've got bruises that have got bruises.

  Leonardo : And did you see how The Shredder walked right through that fire?

  Michaelangelo : Yeah, he's like, "The Shredinator" or something.

• Splinter : I hate to put either one of you at risk, but only a fool ignores fate and the strange gifts it offers.

  April O'Neil : Well if it's strange gifts you're after, they don't come any stranger than Casey Jones.

• Splinter : Donatello, your Battle Shell is a marvel of engineering. A true testament to your incredible mechanical skills. And I never want to see it in our home again.

• Casey Jones : There's no-one here.

  Splinter : I think he's right.

  April O'Neil : There's a first.

• Splinter : Master Yoshi kept his honor to the end. A true warrior, and a true Guardian.

  Casey Jones : Aah! Grr! The Shredder and Hun, the Purple Dragons. Buncha heartless goons! I... I just wanna... Grrrrrrr!

  April O'Neil : I think what Mr. Jones here is trying to say is, we're sorry for your loss, Master Splinter.
