(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?
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.
Splinter [nods in recognition, which Casey returns]
(sees Mikey hula-ing in boxer shorts)
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) I've got 3 more pairs!
Splinter No. We have no time for this scientific debate.
(dejectedly)
Yeah, yeah...
Splinter (sighs)
Kids...
N Niles
(grumbling to himself over being Walker's minion)
"Bring me the woman, Niles." "Lick my boots, Niles." "Feed my birds, Niles." What's next? Roll over and play dead? (bumps into the disguised Raphael) What are you lookin' at, ya ugly lump of dung? (Raphael angrily growls, but lets them pass mostly unharmed)
I'm gonna get that guy! Did you hear what he called me, Leo?
Yeah, an ugly lump of dung. (walks away casually)
Not necessarily, Raph. Did you know that in some countries dung is used as a fuel source?
I just wanna know, What happened t' April?
Splinter 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?
Splinter You have no choice, my son.
Awesome! But d'you think they had pizza back then?
Splinter 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…
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!
Splinter No. We have no time for this scientific debate.
(dejectedly)
Yeah, yeah...
Splinter (sighs)
