(explaining the Magic Scepter's function)
It's equal-mass displacement! See, guys, for every one of us that goes back, someone from the past will come here. But, the problem is, that switch will only work under one condition. You know what that is?
R Raphael
Uhhh, Groundhog's Day? (Donatello moans)
It will only work if the magic travellers each have the same weight.
D Donny
Bingo! Gee, you guys do have a good educational system, huh?
Enough of this camaraderie. When do we get to bust some skulls?
Hang on, Casey, you're not gonna be doing any head breaking this time. Sorry, guy.
What was that? You wanna run that by me again? How come?
'Cos we need somebody to stay here with Splinter in case the time bandit decides to flip out again, if that isn't too much of an inconvenience.
[nods in recognition, which Casey returns]
R Raphael
I just wanna know, What happened t' April?
It seems the scepter, has magic powers, and somehow transported them both through time.
Hold on, dudes! If April's back in feudal Japan, does that mean we have t' ride that scepter back through time to get her?
You have no choice, my son.
Awesome! But d'you think they had pizza back then?
The scepter will be in the temple, which means you will be replaced by four priests.
Now you must start out immediately! Mitsu is in grave danger.
Yes, that's right: Mitsu! She is the woman who leads the rebellion against my father. And she is the most courageous, beautiful woman…
R Raphael
Yeah, we got it; we're goin' now!
(sees Mikey hula-dancing in boxer shorts)
Mikey! Why are you wearing shorts?
Kenshin switched with April and got her clothes.
So, this is for whoever arrives in my place, so they don't arrive bare-butt naked. (holds up more shorts) Hey! I've got 3 more pairs!
No. We have no time for this scientific debate.
(dejectedly)
Yeah, yeah...
You see, Walker, we did not need your guns. Today my Honor Guard carried my old secret weapon.
Really? Well, that's good news.
Where are my Honor-Guards? (to a soldier) You there! Find my Honor-Guards! Yes, now! Right away!
R Raphael
I told you these disguises weren't gonna work!
S Soldier
They're coming! They're behind the wagon!
