A line from The Shredder [To newly made Foot Ninja]

Money cannot buy the honor, which you have earned tonight. You make us all proud. [To street gang] Only effort, discipline, loyalty, earn the right to wear the dragon dochi. You are here because the outside world rejects you. This is your family. I am your father. I want you all to become full members.... of the Foot. There is a new enemy: Freaks of nature who interfere with our business. You are my eyes and ears. Find them! Together, we will punish these.... creatures. These... turtles!

Where's Splinter?

Shredder
[realizes what Raph means]

Ah, the rat. So it has a name? [thinking that Splinter's dead; sadistically] It had a name.

Leo
[angrily growls; screams]

YOU LIE!!!

Shredder
[evilly smirks]

Do I?

Shredder
[Leo angrily screams and charges toward Shredder, but Shredder flips Leo, and points his yari to Leo's neck] [to Raph, Donnie and Mikey; referring to Leo]

He dies. [Raph, Donnie, and Mikey gasp; gestures with his head] Weapons. [the remaining three turtles hesitate] Now! [Raph, Donnie, and Mikey reluctantly discard their weapons to save Leo.] Fools. [chortles] The three of you might have overpowered me with the loss of but one. Now your fate... WILL BE HIS!!! [holds up his yari and prepares to impale Leo]

Raph, Mikey, and Donnie
[alarmed; pleadingly]

NO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O!!!!!!!

Mikey
[suddenly, Splinter appears, startling Shredder] [relieved]

Splinter!

[Leonardo, seeing Shredder distracted, rolls away back to the other Turtles]

Yes, Oroku Saki, I know who you are. We met many years ago... in the home of my master, Hamato Yoshi!

Raph
[Shredder removes his mask, revealing the scars underneath from their last encounter, revealing him to be Oroku Saki] [referring to the Shredder, known as Oroku Saki]

It's him.

Shredder
[absolutely horrified]

You. [angrily] Now I will finish.... what I began with your ear! [attempts to joust Splinter, but his yari is caught in a nunchaku chain and he is hanging over the edge of a building]

Death comes for us all, Oroku Saki, but something much worse comes for you. For when you die, it will be... [Shredder reaches for the back of his belt, takes out a knife and throws it at Splinter, who dodges and grabs it and, at the same time, releases Shredder, who, while screaming, falls into the garbage truck] ...without honor.

[sarcastically]

Oops! [activates the trash compactor with Shredder inside]

The Shredder
[To Tatsu regarding April O'Neil's mentioning the Foot Clan during her TV broadcast]

Find her. Silence her.

The Shredder

There will be no mistake this time. I go myself.

The Shredder
[To the Turtles]

You fight well.... in the old style. But you've caused me enough trouble. Now you face.... the Shredder.

[Raphael: Where's Splinter?]

Ah, the rat. So it has a name. It HAD a name. [Leonardo: YOU LIE!] [Smirks] Do I?

The Shredder
[To Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo]

He [Leonardo] dies. Weapons! [Gestures with his head] NOW!! [Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo discard their weapons to save Leonardo.] Fools! [laughs briefly] The three of you may have overpowered me with the loss of but one! Now your fate... WILL BE HIS!! [Brings back his yari and prepares to stab Leonardo.]

The Shredder
[Removes his mask to face Splinter, revealing the scars underneath from their last encounter.]

You.... Now I will finish what I began with your ear! [Attempts to joust Splinter, but his yari is caught in a nunchaku chain and he is hanging over the edge of a building]

Tatsu
[to Shredder on the Foot's growing influence over the city]

Your empire flourishes, Master Shredder.

Foot Ninja in background

Oh, no, no, no. That's a stereo.

Shredder
[inquiring updates on Splinter's interrogation]

What more from the rat?

Tatsu

Nothing. He will not speak.

Shredder
[regarding Danny's whereabouts]

And the boy who led us to the Turtles?

Tatsu

He is still missing. [wondering why Shredder's so troubled by the Turtles] I do not understand. Why do the Turtles trouble you, Master? They have not been seen for many days.

Shredder

Something.... about the way you described their fighting. Something familiar. Something... [pauses; realizing that Splinter and the Turtles might have some connection to Hamato Yoshi] ...from the past.

Leo
[Shredder shows up]

Does anybody have any idea about who or what this is?

Mikey

I don't know, but I'll bet that it never has to look for a can opener. [Donnie giggles]

Shredder

You fight well... in the old style. But you've caused me enough trouble. Now you face... the Shredder.

Donnie

"The Shredder?"

Mikey
[nervously; trying to hide his fear with jokes]

Uhh, maybe all that hardware's for making coleslaw.
