3 quotes
Donnie
[after Raphael gets a mention from April on the news] [teasingly]

Hey, look. Nyuk-nyuk. I think he's blushing.

Raph
[defensively]

I am not.

Donnie
[thinking Raph is lying; still teasingly]

I think he's actually turning red. [Raph angrily chucks a Sai into the floor between Donnie's legs; shocked] Uh, hmm. Maybe not.

What did you do, did you take classes in insensitivity?!

Hey, I was just trying to break it to you easy.

Oh, well, you failed miserably!

Hey, Broadzilla, you wouldn't even be standing here if it weren't for me, OK?

And what do you want, do you want a 'thank you'?

No, it's me who should thank you for that privilege, right?

Fine!

Yeah.

Thank you.

No, thank you!

You're welcome!

You're welcome! [they each march to their separate rooms slamming the doors behind them]

Donatello

Gosh, it's kind of like Moonlighting, isn't it?

Donatello

Nice night.

Mmm-hmm. Pizza dude's got thirty seconds.

Donatello

Hey, Mikey...You ever think about what Splinter said? About, y'know...Us not havin' him?

...Well, time's up. Three bucks off.

Is Raph coming back?

Donatello

I'm sure he'll be back any minute.....
[An unconscious Raphael is thrown through the window, landing at Donatello's feet]

Danny

I think there's some left over pizza from the other night.

Micheangelo
[Michelangelo runs over to the table, Donatello takes a look at it]

Well?

Donatello

Do you like penicillin on your pizza?

Michelangelo

Doh!
[Donatello and him start humming "Taps"]

Donatello
[skateboards in the sewers, and then stops to sit down next to Michelangelo]

How ya doin'?

Michelangelo

Fine.

Donnie

Nice night.

Mikey

Mmhmm. Pizza dude's got 30 seconds.

Donnie

Mm-hmm. [nods, then wonders about what Splinter said earlier] Hey, Mikey, did you ever think about what Splinter said tonight? I mean, about.... what it would be like, you know, not having him?

Mikey
[understandably uncomfortable with answering such a question, he brushes it off]

Hmm. Time's up. $3 off. [Donnie shakes his head in frustration]

[To Raphael, upon seeing that Raph has brought an unconscious April O'Neil back to their sewer den; in absolute and utter disbelief]

Are you crazy?

Raph
[sarcastically]

Yeah, Leo, I'm crazy, okay?! A loony, okay?!

Donatello

Why?

Raph
[sarcastically]

"Why?"! Why, oh, I don't know, because I wanted to redecorate! You know, a couple of throw pillows, a TV news reporter, what do you think?! [Leo grunts]

[walks into the common area to discover the cause of all the commotion]

Raphael, what are you doing?!

Raph
[trying to stay out of trouble; grumbles nervously]

She got jumped in the subway, I had to bring her here.

Donatello

It's the news lady.

[hopefully]

Can we keep her?

[reluctantly; to the Turtles]

Bring water, cold washcloth, pillow.

[as he and Donnie work to fix up an old truck]

Not even close, Zip Neck. Professor and Mary Ann. Happily ever after.

Donnie

Heh! No way, Atomic Mouth. Gilligan was her main man. They'd be married and have 6 kids by now.

Aw, man, Gilligan was a geek, Barfaroni!

Donnie

You're the geek, Camel Breath.

Dome Head.

Donnie
[gasps and self-consciously rubs his bald head]

Elf Lips!

[finishes fixing the engine]

Let's give this a try. See if this transplant worked, Funkoid!

Donnie

All right, here goes. [about the insult game] What are we on?

Uh, G.

Donnie

Here goes, Gack Face!

I'm ready, Hose Brain!

Donnie
[upon noticing how uncomfortable Casey seems in their underground lair]

You're a claustrophobic! [chuckles]

[thinking Donnie is making a rude gay joke; warningly]

Do you want a fist in the mouth?

Donnie
[shakes his head "no"]

Mmm-mmm.

I've never even looked at another guy before.

Mikey
[while fighting The Foot]

Hey, Donnie, looks like this one is suffering from shell shock.

Donnie

Too derivative.

Mikey

Well, I guess we can really shell it out.

Donnie

Too cliché.

Mikey

Well, it was a shell of a good hit!

Donnie

I like it! [to next opponent] Step up!

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]

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.
