[Opening sequence and theme song.]
[Episode begins in the kitchen inside the turtles’ lair. Donatello and Leonardo are sitting at the table, appearing impatient, and glancing at the wall clock. Michelangelo is pacing.]
Michelangelo "Okay, dudes, so where's Raphael with those pizzas? I'm having a mega-munchie attack."
Donatello "Maybe he forgot."
Leonardo "When a turtle promises to pick up dinner, you can bet your shell on it he'll deliver... I hope."
[Cut to Raphael, in disguise, exiting the Rex Movie Theater, where the movie “Slime Creatures from Planet Zurp” is playing.]
Raphael "Wow. Time sure flies when you're watching a great art film. Uh-oh, I nearly forgot. It's my turn to pick up dinner. Oh, where's a cab when you need one?
Yo, taxi!
Ah, who needs ya?
Ya-ah-ah!"
[He goes to the corner to wave and whistle at a cab.]
Yo, taxi!
[The cab passes him.]
Ah, who needs ya?
[Raphael steps into the street to hail another cab and it comes to a screeching stop. The driver honks his horn.]
Ya-ah-ah!"
[The cab strikes Raphael and he goes flying.]
Oscar "Watch where you're walkin', twerp!"
[Raphael lands in an old woman’s shopping cart and it rolls down a hill with him inside.]
Raphael "Whoa-oa-oa!
Out of the way! Out of the way!"
[He’s rolling towards a man who’s pushing a garment rack.]
Out of the way! Out of the way!"
Man "Oh, no!"
[Raphael crashes into the rack of clothes and flies out of the shopping cart. He rolls a couple of times and looks up to see the sign for “Vinnie’s Pizza.”]
Raphael "Well, what do you know? Vinnie's. I've got to remember this shortcut."
[Shift back to Oscar’s cab. The passenger is talking on the phone.]
Little Huey "All set, Mr. Big. I swiped that, uh, thing from the lab without a hitch."
Mr. Big "It's called a transmogrifier. Now, get over to Pier 53 and kidnap that Premier of Vadeem. Soon that transmogrifier will exchange your brain with his.
Gee, that's a lousy trick to play on a premier."
[He chuckles.]
Gee, that's a lousy trick to play on a premier."
Little Huey "But what if my brain gets stuck in that guy's body?"
Mr. Big "You should be so lucky. Once you're thinking for Vadeem, you'll sign all of his oil deeds over to me."
Little Huey "But if he's got my brain, how's he gonna learn to write his name?"
Mr. Big "I'll enroll him in night school. Now, hurry and get down to the dock."
Little Huey "Right, Mr. Big.
Hold it! Stop!"
[He hangs up the phone and address the driver.]
Hold it! Stop!"
[The cab comes to a stop and the driver looks back at Little Huey.]
Oscar " What's wrong?"
Little Huey "I wanna pick up a couple of pizzas. Go back to that pizzeria we just passed."
Oscar "Vinnie's? Sure thing.
Don't forget, pal, the meter's still running."
[The cab does a U-turn. It stops at Vinnie’s.]
Don't forget, pal, the meter's still running."
[Little Huey heads into Vinnie’s but leaves the transmogrifier on the seat. Raphael comes out of Vinnie’s carrying several boxes.]
Raphael "Oh, great. An empty cab.
Okay, just drop me off at—"
[He gets into the backseat and bumps the transmogrifier.]
Okay, just drop me off at—"
Oscar "You already told me, buddy. I ain't stupid, you know."
[He starts driving.]
Raphael "Hey, not so fast! Whoa-oa!"
Oscar "First you tell me to step on it, then you tell me to slow down. Make up your mind, will ya?"
[Raphael is tossed around the backseat by the reckless driving.]
Raphael "Do I have to pay extra for the thrill ride?"
Oscar "No, but you do have to pay extra for them pizzas. This ain't no delivery service, you know."
Raphael "Big-city cab drivers. Don't you just love 'em?"
[Little Huey comes out of Vinnie’s Pizza carrying a stack of pizza boxes.]
Little Huey "Okay, cabbie, I'm back.
Hey!
The cabbie's gone, along with the transfrogamier. The boss is gonna kill me!"
[He trips and falls into the street, landing face first on a pizza.]
Hey!
[spluttering]
The cabbie's gone, along with the transfrogamier. The boss is gonna kill me!"
[He takes off running down the street. The cabbie continues driving erratically, and other drivers honk at him. Raphael is thrown around on the back seat.]
Oscar "Move it, lady! This ain't a parking lot!"
Raphael "Whoa-oa!"
Oscar "You gonna drive that thing or put a fence around it? Soon they'll be giving driver's licenses to chimpanzees."
Raphael "I think they already did.
Oh, no!"
[A truck is coming right at them.]
Oh, no!"
[The cab comes to a screeching stop, as does the truck. Raphael is thrown forward into the front seat.]
Raphael "Whoa! Oof!"
[Raphael hits the floorboards and the transmogrifier, which is now right in front of his face, begins glowing and whirring. The truck driver jumps out of his truck to confront Oscar.]
Truck Driver "That's it! I've had it with you cabbies!
On second thought... Live and let live, I always say."
[The cab glows red and the truck driver gasps.]
On second thought... Live and let live, I always say."
[He jumps in the truck and drives off. Smoke rises up around the cab and the occupants start coughing.]
Oscar/R "What's this? I didn't hear nothin' about a fog alert.
Hey, buddy, you okay in there?"
[Oscar’s voice is coming from Raphael’s body.]
Hey, buddy, you okay in there?"
[Raphael’s voice is coming from Oscar’s body.]
Raphael/O "Are you sure you didn't get your driver's license in a box of popcorn?"
Oscar/R "Quit complainin'. You're alive, ain't ya?"
Raphael/O "I think so."
Oscar/R "Then get in the cab and try to remember that passengers ride in the back. Lucky for us I'm such a terrific driver. Now, where was it you were headed, pal?"
Raphael/O "Just drop me at the next zoo."
[Inside the Channel 6 news building, April and Burne are looking at a projector screen with the image of the Premier displayed on it.]
April O’Neil "Well, so that's the Premier of Vadeem."
Burne Thompson "That's him, April. Every other news channel has struck out trying to get an interview with him."
April "I hear he's not only single, he's a billionaire! Which, of course, means nothing to me."
Thompson "I'll just bet. Now, look, look, look. He's leaving from Pier 53 on his private yacht. I want your interview with him on tonight's eleven o’clock news."
April "Me, interview the Premier of Vadeem?"
Thompson "Unless you'd rather do a story on ragweed with Vernon."
April "I'm on my way."
[A yacht called “Vadeem 1” sits next to a pier. A group of people stand on the pier. Inside a nearby warehouse are Mr. Big and his crony.]
Mr. Big "How could you be so stupid? You know how much that transmogrifier means for this operation. How could you lose it?"
Little Huey "Well, you see, boss, I got real hungry."
Mr. Big "You ate it?"
Little Huey "No. I stopped for a pizza."
Mr. Big "A pizza? That does it! Put me down this instant!"
[Huey lifts Mr. Big down from the crate he’s standing on. As soon as Mr. Big is on the ground, he kicks Huey in the shin.]
Little Huey "Ouch!"
Mr. Big "Now lift me up again!
Now, where did you see the transmogrifier last?"
[Huey places him back atop the crate.]
Now, where did you see the transmogrifier last?"
Little Huey "It was, uh, um... In the cab! Yeah, that's it! I left it in the cab!"
Mr. Big "Now, listen to me and listen good. You've got exactly one hour to find that cab, understand?"
Little Huey "Heck, that shouldn't be so hard. There's only four million of them in the city."
Mr. Big "Only four million of them?! Hey, if he was a genius, he wouldn't be doing this kind of work."
[Cut to Michelangelo inside the lair, talking on a pay phone.]
Michelangelo "Right, Vinnie. Okay, catch you later, dude."
Donatello "Well, what did Vinnie say?"
Leonardo "Was Raphael at his pizzeria?"
Michelangelo "Uh-huh, but he split over two hours ago."
Leonardo "Something must've happened to him."
[They hear a clattering sound and Donatello looks into the sewer tunnel.]
Donatello "Hey, cancel the call to the Bureau of Missing Turtles. Here he comes now."
[Raphael, still in Oscar’s body, walks towards them. The stack of pizza boxes hides his face.]
Raphael/O "Okay, guys, who gets the pepperoni and who gets the onions?"
[The other turtles begin grabbing boxes and soon see Oscar’s form.]
Leonardo "It's an intruder!"
Michelangelo "And the dude's wearing Raphael's duds!"
Donatello "Jump him!"
[They shout and attack. Pizza goes flying everywhere. Soon Raphael is on the floor, covered in boxes and pizza. The other turtles stand over him.]
Leonardo "All right, you, come out from under there, real slow."
[Raphael/O pushes the boxes aside and stands up.]
Raphael/O "Okay. So I was a little late with the pizzas. Don't you think you guys are overreacting just a little?"
Donatello "Never mind that. Tell us who you are."
Raphael/O "Isn't it obvious? I'm Raphael, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, and...
and definitely the looker of the group."
[He walks over to a mirror, but the reflection to him looks like a turtle. He removes his outerwear.]
and definitely the looker of the group."
Michelangelo "The dude really thinks he is Raphael."
Raphael/O "Is this one of Master Splinter's tricks? Run a surprise ninja attack on Raphael? Well, I'm on to you. It didn't work."
Donatello "Hey. How could he know about Master Splinter?"
Michelangelo "This whole thing is totally mondo bizarre-o."
Donatello "Okay, mister, then who am I?"
Raphael/O "You're the brainiac of the group. As for me, I think I've just entered the turtle twilight zone."
[On a city street, traffic is heavy. Horns are honking as a cab maneuvers its way between lanes.]
Oscar/R "Where'd you learn to drive? On a Coney Island roller coaster? Hey, fella, this ain't a parking lot! Mind if I make a buck here?"
Passenger "Oh, please be careful, driver. The cake is for my wife's fortieth birthday."
[A tall layer cake in a box sits atop of the cab.]
Oscar/R "Sure, sure. Listen, pal, I'm gonna have to charge you extra for the cake. Excess luggage, you know."
Passenger "Fine, fine. Just get both of us there in one piece, please? Whoa-oa!"
[A limousine drives through the streets. Little Huey stands on the backseat, looking through the sunroof. Mr. Big is standing on the seat as well.]
Little Huey "No sign of that cab yet, Mr. Big."
Mr. Big "Well, keep looking."
[The cab suddenly pulls out from a side street directly in front of them.]
Little Huey "There it is, boss! I found it!"
Mr. Big "Quick, let me see, let me see!"
[Little Huey lifts him up.]
Little Huey "See? There it is, the one that says Oscar’s Cab Service."
[The sign on the side of the cab actually reads ‘Oscar’s Car Service’.]
Mr. Big "Follow that taxi! Cut him off!"
Passenger "Oh, there's my apartment house. We made it."
[Mr. Big’s car pulls in front of the cab and stops, forcing the cab to stop quickly as well. The cake flies off the cab’s roof.]
Little Huey "We got him, boss!"
[The cake lands on top of the two villains. The passenger jumps out of the cab.]
Passenger "My birthday cake is ruined. My wife will kill me."
Oscar/R "I'll tell you what, pal-- You can forget about the tip."
Mr. Big "Little Huey, you'll pay for this!"
Little Huey "I know. Cake always goes straight to my hips."
Mr. Big "Hey, cabbie, you free?"
Oscar/R "Sure. Where to, Mac?"
[Mr. Big and Little Huey climb into the back of the cab.]
Mr. Big "We'll tell you when we get there."
[The cab takes off. Meanwhile, in the lair, the turtles sit in front of the television. Raphael/O holds the remote.]
Donatello "So, uh, how you doing, uh, Raphael?"
Raphael/O "I'm doing fine. You're the ones who are acting weird."
Michelangelo "Oh, no, dude. We're cool. If you are."
Raphael/O "Speaking of weird, there's old Vernon."
[He points to the TV screen.]
Vernon "This is Vernon Fenwick with a live interview from the Meridian Mind Institute, where a theft has taken place. Will you fill us in on the details, Professor?"
Professor "Someone stole our transmogrifier."
Vernon "Is it true that it can make brain switches between two people?"
Professor "Yes, but it has a major flaw. Okay, once it's been triggered, it goes into a random self-destruct mode. Now, in the wrong hands, it could, uh, pretty much blow up half the city."
Vernon "You mean that someone could be carrying around a ticking bomb and not know it?"
[The other three turtles sneak out of the room while Raphael/O watches TV.]
Professor "Exactly. But first these warning lights would begin to flash. After that, we have no way of knowing when it will explode."
Donatello "Hey. Somehow Raphael got involved with this transmogrifier. His mind got switched with whoever that guy is."
Michelangelo "You mean that dude really is Raphael?"
Donatello "Well, in a way. See, Raphael's mind is trapped inside that guy's body, only he doesn't know it."
Leonardo "Why don't we just ask him where the real Raphael is so he can take us to him?"
Donatello "Because he wouldn't know what you're talking about. Right now he thinks he's a Ninja Turtle."
Michelangelo "Well, so, like, what do we do?"
Donatello "Well, we try to get our hands on that transmogrifier blueprint and see what I can do to change him back."
[The three turtles head out of the lair. In the meantime, the cab is winding its way through traffic.]
Oscar/R "Come on, you jerks! Move it!"
Mr. Big "Keep looking for that transmogrifier. It's got to be here."
Oscar/R "Okay, fellas, enough sightseeing. Where to?"
Mr. Big "Take us to Pier 53."
Oscar/R "Pier 53. Right."
[The engine revs and the cab speeds up, throwing the passengers back.]
Mr. Big "There it is. I found it."
[Little Huey picks up the transmogrifier.]
Little Huey "Gee. These little lights weren't twinkling before."
Mr. Big "Oh, who cares? Now, we grab the Premier, and all that nice, greasy oil will be mine!"
[The turtles run through the sewer tunnels.]
Donatello "Boy, it's a good thing I gassed up the turtle van."
Raphael/O "Hey, you guys! wait up!"
[Dressed in his topcoat and hat, Raphael has tried to follow the other turtles, but Oscar’s body is out of shape and he’s breathing hard.]
Leonardo "Sorry, fella-- uh, Raphael. We have to get to that lab in a hurry."
[He runs off. Raphael/O braces himself against a wall.]
Raphael/O "Okay. On second thought, you guys go ahead. I'll catch up with you. Man, I don't get it. This morning I spent two hours in the workout room, and I wasn't even winded."
Michelangelo "You probably overdid it, dude. No problemo. Hop on."
[He indicates his back and Raphael/O jumps on to get a piggyback ride.]
Raphael/O "Thanks, Michelangelo. So, guys, who are we rescuing this time?"
Donatello "A real close friend."
Raphael/O "Then let's make turtle tracks! Turtle power!"
[Topside, the cab makes a screeching stop at a red light. Mr. Big falls into the front seat.]
Oscar/R "Hang on!"
Mr. Big "Whoa!"
Oscar/R "What is it with you passengers? Everybody wants to ride up front."
[Mr. Big growls in anger. Cars pass opposite the cab, and then April, in the Channel 6 news van, suddenly stops.]
April "Raphael, is that you?"
Oscar/R "Are you talkin' to me?"
April "Raphael, it is you."
Oscar/R "Sorry, lady. There ain't no Raphael on this ship."
[The cab takes off.]
April "There's definitely something strange going on around here.
I'd better contact the turtles."
[She spins the van around to follow the cab.]
I'd better contact the turtles."
[She uses her turtlecom to reach them.]
Donatello "Yeah, April, what's up?"
April "Maybe I'm losing my mind, but I just saw Raphael driving a cab."
Donatello "So that's where he is."
April "Then it was Raphael?"
Donatello "Well, yeah, on the outside, but not on the inside."
April "Huh?"
Donatello "Well, uh, I'll explain later. Where is he heading?"
April "I don't know, but I'm on his trail."
Donatello "Don't let him out of your sight. We've gotta make a stop at the Meridian Laboratories.
We've gotta get the blueprints for that transmogrifier. Let's go, turtles."
[The turtles reach the labs and leave the van.]
We've gotta get the blueprints for that transmogrifier. Let's go, turtles."
[The three turtles leap easily over the fence. But when Raphael, in Oscar’s body, tries, he hits the fence and falls down.]
Raphael/O "Yaah! Oy, vey!"
Donatello "Uh, good move, Raphael. We need someone to stay outside and be a lookout."
Raphael/O "Uh, y-yeah, well, sure. That's... That's why I did it."
[At the pier, April has parked the news van behind the cab.]
April "Luckily Raphael's cab led right to the pier where the Premier keeps his yacht. I might get that interview after all."
[Little Huey, escorting the Premier, starts pushing his way through the crowd of reporters. Mr. Big is next to them.]
Little Huey "Coming through. Out of the way, lady."
April "Wha... Where are you taking the Premier?"
Premier "Precisely my question too. Where are you taking me?"
Mr. Big "Uh, we're going to show you the sights of the city."
Premier "Sorry, but I refuse to go anywhere with you."
Mr. Big "Premier, I think we're about to change your mind. Literally."
[He chuckles. The pair lead the Premier into the cab.]
April "They're kidnapping him!"
Mr. Big "All right, get going!"
Oscar/R "Hold on. I gotta charge you double for an extra passenger."
Mr. Big "All right! Just get us out of here, and fast!"
Oscar/R "Geez, everybody's in such a hurry."
April "The Premier of Vadeem has just been abducted, and Raphael was driving the cab!"
[The cab zips through the streets. Little Huey holds up the transmogrifier to display the lights.]
Little Huey "Hey, boss, these lights are starting to twinkle like crazy."
Mr. Big "Why are you telling me this? I can't be bothered with some stupid lights!"
[Sirens begin wailing.]
Oscar/R "Oh, great. It's the cops."
Premier "I'm warning you; you will pay for this!"
Oscar/R "You sure will. I get a ticket; it's coming out of your pocket."
Mr. Big "It's the cops, all right. Lose them!"
Oscar/R "Okay, but just so you know, losing cops is twenty bucks extra."
Mr. Big "Don't negotiate, just do it!"
[The cab takes a corner on two wheels. The police car is right behind them, with April in the news van following. The turtles are back in the turtle van and Raphael/O is behind the wheel, driving fast.]
Michelangelo "Cowabunga! That's some awesome driving, bud! Uh, I mean Raphael."
Leonardo "Lucky for us our buddy was brain-switched with a cab driver."
Raphael/O "Yeah. Feels like I was born behind the wheel of one of these things."
Michelangelo "Some turtles have all the luck. I was born behind one of those little castles in an aquarium."
[In the back of the van, Donatello studies the blueprints.]
Donatello "Oh, and now for the bad news. It looks like the transmogrifier is running out of time."
[April continues following the police pursuit.]
April "Now the police think Raphael is part of the kidnapping plot. I've gotta notify the others!"
[Leonardo’s turtlecom beeps.]
Leonardo "Leonardo here."
April "It's Raphael. He's in big trouble!"
Donatello "So what else is new?"
April "A couple of thugs kidnapped the Premier of Vadeem, and Raphael is driving the getaway cab!"
Raphael/O "Me, driving a getaway cab? That's crazy. I'm right here driving the turtle van."
Leonardo "If we don't find that cabbie fast, we're all in big trouble."
Donatello "Right, as in, kablooey."
April "Please hurry. We're crossing the intersection of Broadway and 13th."
Leonardo "We're on the way to intercept you. Just don't get too close to that cab. It could blow up at any moment."
Mr. Big "Okay, we're here. Quick.
Pull into that warehouse."
[He uses a remote to open the warehouse door.]
Pull into that warehouse."
Oscar/R "You guys are serious, ain't ya?"
[The police car drives past the row of warehouses sitting on the pier, but April stops.]
April "The cab is gone. It's disappeared into thin air!"
[Inside the warehouse, Little Huey pulls the Premier out of the cab.]
Little Huey "Okay, out you go."
Premier "Why did you bring me here?"
Little Huey "'Cause we got a little foreign exchange to take care of."
Mr. Big "This gadget is going to exchange Little Huey's brain for yours."
Little Huey "Since I'm gonna be in there, I'm glad you're such a neat dresser."
[The Premier turns to Oscar/R.]
Premier "I beseech you, as a citizen of this great nation, you must help me."
Oscar/R "Look, pal, I'm only the cabbie. I don't get involved. Okay, Mac, just hand over the fare, plus that bonus for ditching the cops, and I'm history."
Mr. Big "You're history, all right. Oscar's Cab Service is about to be permanently put out of business."
[Outside, the turtle van pulls up behind the news van. Raphael/O hops out to greet April.]
Raphael/O "Hey, April, looking good!"
April "Who is that?"
Donatello "It's Raphael. He's just bulked up a little."
Michelangelo "Yeah, the dude's looking awesome, don't you think?"
April "Yes, I, uh, hardly recognized him."
[Raphael does a karate yell and starts showing off some martial arts moves.]
Donatello "Just go along with it, okay? It is Raphael, uh, deep down."
April "Wait a minute. I saw that report about the stolen mind-switcher gadget-- the trans... trans..."
Donatello "Mogrifier. Right. See, I figure Raphael and this guy got zapped at the same time, and their brains are switched."
April "But if that thing's been triggered, then it's a time bomb!"
Donatello "Yeah, that's why I borrowed the blueprints from the lab. I'm looking for a way to disarm it. So where's that taxicab?"
April "I lost it. I have no idea where it went."
Raphael/O "Bring on those creeps! I'm ready for 'em!"
[He attempts a high kick and lands on his rump. Inside the warehouse, Oscar/R is mad.]
Oscar/R "Look, pal, nobody stiffs Oscar. Now, hand over that fare, or I'll... I'll..."
Little Huey "You'll what?"
[Oscar/R grabs the transmogrifier.]
Oscar/R "I'll take this."
Mr. Big "No! Not the transmogrifier! Give it to me!"
[The device starts beeping and the lights pulsate.]
Oscar/R "Whoa! What's that noise?"
Mr. Big "Be careful! Don't drop it!"
Little Huey "Now it's beeping. It wasn't doing that when I stole it from the lab."
Mr. Big "Will you shut up?"
Oscar/R "First kidnapping, now swiping things that beep. I think there's something rotten in Brooklyn."
Little Huey "So what are you gonna do about it?"
[Oscar/R sticks the device into his jacket.]
Oscar/R "How weird. I suddenly got this feeling I'm a ninja master. Ee-yah! Ee-yah? Where did that come from? Sure sounded good, though."
Mr. Big "Take care of that clown!"
Little Huey "Right, boss!"
[Little Huey goes to attack, but Oscar/R grabs and tosses him over his shoulder and into a stack of crates. Mr. Big leaps forward and wraps his arms around Oscar/R’s leg.]
Mr. Big "You leave my strong-arm goon alone!"
Oscar/R "Ya-hah!"
[He kicks his leg and Mr. Big goes flying up towards the ceiling where a large tarp is draped. Mr. Big grabs the tarp, which pulls loose. Mr. Big lands on top of Little Huey and the tarp drops onto both of them. They groan.]
Premier "You are incredible! A genuine black-belt!"
Oscar/R "What do you know? I guess my body's got a mind of its own. Let's get out of here. Quick, into the cab!
Hang on, fella. You're about to get the ride of a lifetime. And because it's you, I won't even turn on the meter."
[They hop into the cab and Oscar/R tosses the transmogrifier onto the seat next to him.]
Hang on, fella. You're about to get the ride of a lifetime. And because it's you, I won't even turn on the meter."
Premier "Oh, no!"
[The cab bursts through the warehouse door and drives away.]
Michelangelo "There's the taxicab!"
April "And there go the kidnappers!"
Donatello "Oh, we can't lose 'em this time."
[Horns blare as a car chase ensues. Pedestrians run to avoid being hit by the cab.]
Leonardo "You sure you can stay on their tail, Raphael?"
Raphael/O "Piece of cake."
Donatello "I've got it! I've found the way to disarm that transmogrifier."
Michelangelo "Totally turbo, dude! But what do you say we find it first?"
Donatello "Drive this baby, Raphael! Drive!"
Raphael/O "You got it!"
Oscar/R "Hang on!"
[He turns the cab around and heads straight at the limo, forcing it to spin around. The turtle van and news van veer off to avoid a collision. Somehow, all four vehicles head towards an intersection from opposite directions.]
Oscar/R "Whoa-oa!"
April "Oh, dear!"
Raphael/O "No-o-o!"
Mr. Big "Look out!"
[The transmogrifier hums loudly and then all four vehicles crash into each other. The cab starts to glow, engulfing the front of the turtle van. Raphael and Oscar both climb out.]
Raphael "What's going on? I feel so strange."
Oscar "Me too. But I got more important things to think of, like who's gonna pay for the damage?"
Leonardo "Raphael, is that you?"
Raphael "Sorry, guys. I guess I lost control of the van."
Donatello "The van? You were driving the van?"
Raphael "No, I was driving a pumpkin on the way to Cinderella's ball."
Donatello "Raphael! It is you!"
Raphael "Boy, you guys are acting awfully weird."
Donatello "The transmogrifier! Where is it?"
[Oscar points at the device lying on the street. It was smashed in the collision.]
Oscar "You mean this thing?"
Donatello "Oh, that's it, all right. And that's just how you turn off the self-destruct chip. You crush it. Fella, you are one dynamite cabbie."
Oscar "Huh?"
[Mr. Big and Little Huey are trapped inside the limo. April begins filming the scene.]
Mr. Big "Let me out of here!"
Leonardo "Sure, we'll let you out, once the police escort gets here."
April "Talk about a scoop! Just in time for the eleven o’clock news!"
[The Premier walks up to her.]
Premier "I remember you-- the young lady who wanted an interview."
April "That's me, Mr. Premier."
Premier "And you shall have it. Shall we say over a candlelit dinner aboard my yacht?"
April "I'll bring the candles."
[Later, the turtles are sitting on their couch in the lair watching the news.]
Raphael "Look! There's Oscar now!"
Mayor "As mayor, I wish to thank you for your heroic actions in rescuing the Premier of Vadeem.
It's cabbies like you who are the heart of our fair city."
[He pins a medal on Oscar.]
It's cabbies like you who are the heart of our fair city."
Oscar "Thanks, Mayor. If you need me again, just whistle. Like this."
[He whistles loudly and the Mayor grimaces.]
Michelangelo "Way to go, Oscar!"
Raphael "Now, explain it to me one more time. I was really a cabbie and Oscar was really a Ninja Turtle?"
[The other three turtles start grumbling and complaining and then walk away.]
