• [last lines] 

  Donatello : My brothers, my poor brothers. This world, this future, it's a nightmare.

  April O'Neil : It *was* a nightmare Don. But you, Leo, Raph, and Mikey, you gave us back out future.

  Donatello : [starts to fade away]  April! It's happening again! Something's pulling me away! It's stronger this time!

  April O'Neil : Donny! Just remember there's always hope no matter what! No matter what!

  [Once he disappears, she speaks softly] 

  April O'Neil : ... And thank you.

• Donatello : Where are all the people?

  Michelangelo : You mean the ones that survived? They're forced to work 18-hour days in the Shredder's labor camps. No one's allowed at night.

  Donatello : What happened to Leo and Raph?

  Michelangelo : Let's just say they got in a big fight a long time ago. When you never came back, Donny... well, everything just fell apart. We were a team. Without you, it just didn't work. I guess we really needed that level head of yours.

• Michelangelo : Brainiac here wants to go up against the Shredder.

  Leonardo : We've already tried it, Donny. How do you think we lost Casey?

  Raphael : The Shredder's palace is surrounded by an army of Foot police.

  Leonardo : And Utrominators.

  Raphael : And Karai Legions.

  Leonardo : We can't even get inside to fight him.

  Baxter Stockman : And if you could you couldn't beat him. The Shredder's new exo-suit is stronger than ever. I should know, I designed it.

  Leonardo : It's impossible.

  Raphael : Can't be done, Donny. It's hopeless.

  Donatello : I don't know what happened to you guys, but the Turtles I knew believed that nothing was ever hopeless. Please. We can do this.

  Leonardo : All right, Donny, we'll do it one more time. But please, tell me we have a fighting chance.

• Michelangelo : Come on! We gotta buy Donny a little more time! Keep the bots busy!

  [Mikey battles several Karai Legion Bots, until he gets overwhelmed and sliced apart] 

  Donatello : Mikey, NOOO! You'll pay Shredder! If it's the last thing I do, you will pay!

• Donatello : Mikey! Your... your arm! What happened to your arm?

  Michelangelo : You're the one that's got some questions to answer! Where the shell have you been all these years?

  Donatello : All these years?

  Michelangelo : You've been gone over thirty years, Donatello.

  Donatello : Thirty years? It can't be!

  Michelangelo : Can be, and is! We thought you were dead... How the shell could you just abandon us like that?

  Donatello : I didn't. I'd NEVER abandon you guys. One minute we were all in the lair together, the next minute I woke up here. I don't know how.

  Michelangelo : So, the Turtle with the big brain doesn't have all the answers. Who would have thunk it?

• Baxter Stockman : [a older and handicapped Hun wheels in out of the dark, Baxter Stockman's brain canister grafted to his shoulder]  Well, well, well. Donatello.

  Donatello : What the?

  Baxter Stockman : Looking younger than ever. And how do we look? Just another one of the Shredder's apropos punishments. Don't be impolite, Hun. Say hello.

  Hun : Greetings, Donatello.

  April O'Neil : Relax Donny. They're on our side. We saved them from being executed about five years back.

  Hun : This life is worse. I wish I had been put out of my misery.

  Baxter Stockman : And I wish you had been put out of *my* misery, you miserable misanthrope.

• Donatello : Can the Shredder come out and play?

  The Shredder : So, the Turtles have reunited. It is 30 years overdue, but I will finally put an end to your pathetic lives!
