We live together, we train together, we fight together, we stand for good together. We are ninjas. We strike hard, defend, protect, and fade into the night. And there ain't no bad guy or monster ever gonna change that, that's what's important, and that's why we'll always be... Brothers. Oh, I love bein' a turtle.

4 quotes Raphael Raphael Y'know, the thing about you immortal stone guys, is you're immortal... And made of stone. I sound like Mikey.
Raphael [to Leo]
Okay Jungle Boy, grab a vine.
Raphael (to criminal)
Looks like it's just you and me, shakey. Take it easy. I'm not gonna hurt ya... much.
Scenes with Raphael
16 scenes Raphael Spoken like a true has-been.
Well, look who woke up. I suppose you think Nightwatcher is some kind of hero.
Raphael Beats sitting around doing nothing while dirtbags run free.
You think you own these rooftops? I happen to think you could use my help. And I could use a sidekick. You may have everyone else fooled, but you haven't fooled me, Raph.
"Nightwatcher"
Yeah, well guess what... Hey, wait a minute...
Raphael ["Nightwatcher" removes his helmet, revealing Raphael in the costume.]
How'd you know it was me?
It wasn't that hard, man. You look like a big, metal turtle.
Raphael It's that obvious, huh?
Raphael You are so smug, y'know that? You think that the world revolves around you, don't you? That we couldn't possibly survive without the mighty and powerful Leonardo to guide us through our problems, huh?! Well I've got a a news flash for ya: We got along just fine without you!
And this qualifies as "just fine"? Dressing up like it's Halloween every night, risking the safety of our family? I mean come on, what were you thinking?!
Raphael Don't push it Leo. You can't leave home and come back expecting us to fall in line again, like your little soldiers.
Hey, I was training. Training to be a better leader. For you! Why do you hate me for that?
Raphael Whoever said I wanted to be lead?! I'm better off calling my own shots, now get used to it.
You aren't ready. You're impatient, and hot tempered, and more importantly... I'm better than you.
Raphael Hahahahaha. Oh, y'know something big brother, I have to disagree with you on that one.
Raphael I'm done taking orders.
Raphael [Raphael hands Leonardo new katana blades to replace the broken ones.]
You're going to need these, if you're going to lead us out of here.
I'm going to need you, too.
General Aquina
You fight well. You should join us.
Raphael No, thanks. I'm good.
They better hurry up with the last monster!
Raphael You know my man Casey's got it all under control!
That's what I'm afraid of.
Reporter
And with rocketing interest rates, that's bad news for homeowners as the real estate market continues its downward spiral. Coming up, the vigilante known as Nightwatcher strikes again.
Man
Ooh, now, I can't say for sure, but he was definitely an alien.
Woman
[angrily; in bitter disgust]
I think it's a disgrace, taking the law into your own hands like that. Leave it to the police!
[about the police; remembering the old days]
I remember how that used to feel, busting up crime syndicates. Sure, they had a bunch of guns, but they weren't like these guns. [flexes his muscles]
[sighs; unamused]
Why do you do this to yourself, Mikey? Those glory days are over. Forget about them. Get on with your life. Concentrate on your work.
Raphael [waking up; sarcastically]
Yeah, yeah, spoken like a true has-been.
[also sarcastically]
Well, look who woke up. [seriously; sick and tired of Raph's laziness] I suppose you think the Nightwatcher's some kind of hero.
Raph
[jumps down]
Beats sitting around doing nothing while dirtbags run free. [crushes a soda can with his bare fist]
I would love to know what it is that you do that's so great. At least we're contributing around here, all you do is sleep all day.
Raph
[disrespectfully]
Yeah. I do nothing. You're right. [points an accusing finger at Donnie] You got me all figured out.
[losing his patience]
Well, I know that your rogue attitude has always been a source of contention to this team. You think fear is the best way to accomplish things, [raising his voice] but you're wrong.
Raph
First of all, this "team" you speak of doesn't exist anymore. And second of all... [almost punches Donnie, who flinches]
Raph
[smugly]
Heh, I think I made my point.
[defensively]
That doesn't prove anything. [Raph leaves the room; to Splinter; under his breath, bitterly] Why couldn't you send him away for training?
Donatello, this home has become like an empty shell. Each of your brothers has strengths and weaknesses. You must learn to be strong when they are weak. If you don't learn to recognize this, then all hope is lost for our family.
Thief
[exiting store, pointing gun at store clerks]
And you keep them up. Got that? And don't let me catch you calling the cops. [gets yanked up by Nightwatcher] What? Not again. [gets thrown at the wall by Nightwatcher]
Nightwatcher
Didn't I take care of you last week?
Thief
[worried]
Hey. No, n-no. Come on, now.
Nightwatcher
[picks up thief]
I'm very disappointed in you, knucklehead. Guess night school's in session.
Raphael/Nightwatcher
[to himself]
Oh, no. Casey. Yeah, I've got this one covered, pal. [backhands thief] Thanks, but no thanks.
You think you own these rooftops? I happen to think you could use my help. [Raph secretly summons his ball and chain] And I could use a sidekick. You may have everyone else fooled, but you haven't fooled me, Raph.
Raphael/Nightwatcher
[takes Casey's bat with the ball and chain]
Yeah, well, guess what, pal. Now—- Hey, wait a minute. [groans] How'd you know it was me?
Wasn't that hard, man. You know, you look like a big, metal turtle.
Raphael [removes his helmet]
Eh. It's that obvious, huh?
Thief
[trying to run away]
I should've stayed in law school.
Aww, ain't that cute? He's trying to get away. [looks at Raphael who smiles at Casey Jones] Well, looks like I got a sidekick.
Raphael/Nightwatcher
Yeah, right. You're the sidekick.
[dazed]
Dudes, did anyone get the license plate of that thing that hit us last night? Oy, my head...
Okay, th-that was just weird. I mean, first the Foot, then that hideous monster--
Yeah. It looked like your mom, dude! [laughs]
Raph Keep laughin', Mikey. Last night was an embarrassment. [slams his fist on the table]
Leo
I'll tell you what's embarrassing: You can't even follow a single order.
Raph [sarcastically]
Oh-ho-ho-ho, how cute. [seriously] You've been back for 5 minutes, and now you're schoolin' us on your master plan?
Leo
[scoffs; incredulously; annoyed with Raph's attitude]
Oh, oh, okay, so this is my fault now, huh, Raph? [raising his voice] I'm the only one that has to be responsible?!
Raph Hey, you're the "trained master", not me.
[whispering; worried]
Dudes, can it, here comes Splinter. [quickly drops his breakfast pizza slice and covers the bandaged spot on his head]
[walks into the kitchen, singing in Japanese; happily and completely oblivious to the tension]
Ooh, good morning, my sons!
Leo, Donnie and Mikey
[simultaneously]
Good morning, sensei.
Raph 'Sup?
[continues singing in Japanese]
Every Ninja's day should start with a healthy breakfast. [Leo and Raph angrily glare at each other while eating their cereal. Donnie notices but Splinter doesn't] It fills me with pride to see you boys together again. If anyone needs me, I'll be watching my stories.
Leo
[to Raph]
Hothead.
Raph [to Leo]
Splinter Jr.
[Splinter prepares to watch The Gilmore Girls.] [excitedly]
Cody is going to break up with Donna. I just know it. [turns on the TV and sits down]
Announcer
We interrupt The Gilmore Girls for this special news report.
News Reporter
Monsters loose in the city? Strange reports are coming in tonight about a construction site incident that sounds like something out of science fiction.
[angrily]
BOYS?! [cut to the Turtles kneeling in front of Splinter] Leonardo, I am most disappointed in you. You are the eldest of your brothers. I was counting on you to bring order to the chaos of this family. This is why I have forbidden any surface activity. We cannot return to the surface to fight evil if we continue to fight each other.
Leo
But, Master Splinter, how can I be expected to do so when Raph--?
[sternly; not in the mood for the blame game]
There are NO EXCUSES when you are the leader, my student!
Raph [Leo sighs in defeat and shame.]
We have to go out and find who's responsible for this. There ain't no other solution.
Leo
[sighs; having had enough violence]
Save the brute vigilante junk for that Night Watchman.
Raph [annoyed]
Ugh.
Mikey, Raph and Donnie
"Nightwatcher".
Leo
[under his breath; bitterly]
Yeah, whatever.
Raph [stands up to leaves; coldly]
I'm going out.
Raph [whispering]
Hey, Casey.
Raph?
Raph Meet me on the roof, okay?
What is it?
Raph The roof. You know what the roof is, don't you?
Pushy sidekick.
Leo
Sorry the reunion isn't under better circumstances.
[seeing April and Casey's apartment complex]
Whoa-ho-ho. Nice pad, kids. [to Raph] Oh, hey, Raph.
[checking Raph's pulse]
Well, his vital signs seem to be okay. [opens Raph's eye] Pupil dilation is normal. [shocked] Whoa. [sees a stone star on Raph's shell]
Leo and Mikey
[stunned]
Whoa.
Leo
Well, is he gonna be all right?
Raph [waking up; to Leonardo]
You're still here? Go back to your jungle.
Leo
Well, at least his personality's still intact.
And there's an engraving on it, looks... South American. That's your department, April.
[holding a sleeping dart]
Would it help things if I told you that those statues you collected for that Winters guy were shooting these things at me and Raph?
[utterly horrified]
"The Legend... of Yaotl"? It can't be. I-I-It was just a myth. A-A scary story the locals told kids around a campfire.
Leo
[confused]
Whoa, what are you talking about?
They say... 3,000 years ago, some... great warrior actually found... a portal to another dimension. [camera fades to Yaotl] And when the portal opened, the energy from it gave the warrior eternal life. But it also turned his generals to stone. What if this warrior just kept living forever? He would spend the rest of his days in regret, spending all of his riches and all of his power, trying to find a way to revive his stone generals. Maybe, just maybe, he's built a new empire. [camera pans to Winters' face, and he opens his eyes; fade back to April's apartment] But, hey, like I said, it's just a myth.
[examining the dart]
Hmmm. If you ask me, you guys, this has Winters' name written all over it.
Leo
How do you figure that, Donnie?
Casey and Mikey
Yeah.
[referring to the serial number on the dart]
Because this has Winters' name written all over it.
Raph Now I know who to thank for the shot in the arm. [sits down] So where do we find this guy and his stone jokers?
Leo
We're not going anywhere until we get Splinter's blessing.
Raph [angrily stands up; shocked that Leo would ask for permission to deal with this new threat]
You're gonna stand here and quote a rulebook to me that you ain't been following for a year?!
Leo
[losing his patience]
Look, Raph, if you got something you want to get off your shell, now's the time. But I'm not going to stand here and debate Splinter's direct orders with you!
Raph [pauses; softly yet coldly]
Fine, then. I quit.
Hey, Raph. Don't do it, man. Sometimes just taking a breather is the best thing to do.
Raph Whatever.
Raph Oh, look at you, ain't you cute? You want a butt kickin' little fella? Yes, you do. You do. Come on, I'm gonna drop-kick you to Hurty Town. Come on, little guy.
Big City Rock
[Monster attacks Raph, who screams]
♪ Whoa, Black Betty, Ram-a-lam, yeah, Black Betty, ram-a-lam ♪
Raph Get off of me, you little monster!
Big City Rock
♪ Ram-a-lam, she's always ready, ram-a-lam, she's so rocksteady, ram-a-lam, whoa, Black Betty, ram-a-lam, whoa, Black Betty, ram-a-lam ♪
Raph Oh, you're scratching the helmet! [throws monster in fridge] Okay, that was different. [Monster comes back, attacking him again; to the monster] Hey, this thing ain't rustproof! Get off of me!
Big City Rock
♪ Whoa, Black Betty, ram-a-lam, yeah, Black Betty, ram-a-lam, she really gets me high... ♪
Big City Rock
[Song stops, just as the fridge falls on the monster; however, the monster bursts out, the same time the song resumes]
♪ Ram-a-lam, she's so rocksteady ♪
Raph Come on!
Big City Rock
♪ ...yea, Black Betty, ram-a-lam ♪
Raph [whacks monster with cooking pot, and then holds out three pills]
How about a snack, little fella? [Monster runs toward Raph as he throws the pills] Catch! [Monster swallows the pills, which explode, causing the monster to scream in pain, run around the restaurant, and jump through dining room window]
General Gato
Not human, but clearly not the final monster.
General Aguila
Yaotl won't know the difference. By the time our brother discovers this turtle is not the 13th Monster, it will already be too late.
Raph [the Foot Clan shoots sleeping darts at Leo, offscreen, and Leo screams in agony] [shocked]
Leo! [he runs back, only to find the Stone Generals picking up Leo and putting him in a truck] Leo, hang on! Leo! Leo! [loses sight of the truck; screams in anguish] NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! [slams his Sai into the ground in anger]
[Leo has been kidnapped; Raphael punches a wall and pushes over katanas to the floor in anger]
Raphael! What is the matter?
Raph [upset]
I was out. I was out, and I did-- I did something. Something happened, and then, I-- And I, I-- [pushes over a weight set in anger]
Raphael. Kneel.
Raph [kneels and calms down]
I did something. I did something really stupid, Master Splinter.
Raph [regretfully]
I know why you chose him now. I know that there's a reason why he's the better son and I'm not.
Raphael, you always bear the world's problems on your shoulders. It is an admirable quality when you are a protector of others. But you must realize that while, at times, you may not be my favorite student, it does not mean that you are my least-favorite son. You are strong, passionate and loyal, to a fault. These are the merits of a great leader, as well. But only when tempered with compassion and humility.
Raph But, Master Splinter, I messed up big tonight. I mean, big. [shows Leonardo's broken katana blades] They took him.
Raph [sighs]
Yeah.
[sighs; deciding to do the right thing]
Then the time for hiding is over. We must return to the surface to take back what is ours.
Raph By your wish, Father.
Raph [hands Leo new katana blades to replace the broken ones]
You're gonna need these if you're gonna lead us out of here.
Leo
[smiles; warmly]
I'm going to need you too.
[Winters screams as the stone Generals throw him across the lobby of the Winterscorp building.]
Winters?
Looks more like fall, get it?
Mikey, remember our talk.
Leo
They better hurry up with the last monster!
Raph I'm sure my man Casey's got it all under control!
Leo
Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.
[scene switches to April driving the Cowabunga Carl truck]
Can't this piece of junk go any faster?
You wanna drive?
I would, as a matter of fact.
Karai
You would think they would be more concerned about the 13th monster. [Foot Ninja silently nods in agreement.]
